Liu Mingdeng did not expect that the war would go so smoothly, the Qing army was like a bamboo, and the armor set was conquered in one battle, with less than 100 casualties.

Liu Mingdeng sent a telegram to Li Guolou, reporting the latest results to the headquarters, waiting for Li Guolou's reply, Liu Mingdeng did not have hope of conquering Paijia Cliff, and it would take thousands of lives to overcome this natural danger, this is still theoretically feasible, Taiwan's military resources are scarce, and the Jianwu Army cannot afford to consume such a large loss, and in the original military deployment, the Jianwu Army does not plan to attack Paijiaya, but it is not that there is no way to deal with the Japanese army.

Paijia Cliff has the advantage of geographical environment, the Japanese army is stuck here, which seems to block the way for the Qing army to advance, but the road is walked out by people, and the Qing army can cut down trees to open the road and bypass the Paijia Cliff garrisoned by the Japanese army.

In order to prevent the Qing army from entering their territory and keep their territory, Taiwan's ethnic minorities rarely build roads, and even if there are roads, they are small roads, and they also cover the roads, and they don't know where the roads are.

However, in order to open up the territory, the Qing army fought a war on the one hand, and built roads on the other hand, only the roads were unblocked, and the army's supply lines were guaranteed.

Officers and soldiers carried baskets of soil, carried stones and wood, along the Japanese defense line, within two miles, to build a position, the enemy and us are desperately building fortifications, you can see the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain are also digging soil, this is a prerequisite for fighting, the Japanese army has built Paijia Cliff into a military fortress.

At the foot of the hill were busy crowds, surrounded by military flags, and hundreds of children of seven or eight years old sat on one side, hammers in their hands, clanging stones to make the large stones the size of palms, which were used to pave the road.

Thousands of women in headscarves carried their burdens, busy back and forth, and the entire Paijia Cliff was like a huge barracks.

Fighting a war is a logistical battle, and Liu Mingdeng made a big move, mobilized tens of thousands of people, recruited all the ethnic minorities around him, and wanted to trap and kill the 2,000 Japanese troops in Paijiaya.

This is one of the tactics that the Qing army is best at using, and it is called: locking the city.

The Qing army besieged the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Tianjing (Nanjing), using this set of tactics.

As long as this line of defense is completed, the Japanese army will also not be able to rush out, and if they want to break through the defense line of the Qing army, the Japanese army will have to fill it with human lives, and if the Japanese army cannot break through this defense line, it will not be able to get supplies, only consume stocks, and one day they will have to eat human flesh until they all starve to death.

Liu Mingdeng was very fond of this tactic, the timing of this attack was just right, the Japanese army could not harvest the autumn grain, even if the Japanese army looted some grain, there would not be much grain in stock, and when the spring of the next year begins, the Japanese army will be starving, and then the 2,000 Japanese troops on the cliff will be 2,000 corpses.

Luo Shidai has been canonized by the Tongzhi Emperor as the "Tusi" of the Beidong tribe, becoming a well-known national hero, the Qing Dynasty's newspaper, the Luo Shidai is depicted as flawless, and the people of Beidong welcome a new ** liberation.

Since Luo Shidai returned to the Qing Dynasty, he has not seen the people of Beidong crossing the Jade Mountain, and there is no Beidong people to transport supplies for the Japanese army, and the people of Beidong have abandoned Luo Shijie, the "Prince of Beidong" who stayed in Paijiaya.

Every day, more than a dozen artillery pieces were pushed out of the position, firing at the Japanese defense line, and then moving the position forward, constantly putting pressure on the Japanese army, but not investing a large number of troops.

Half a month later, the strategy of locking up the city was initially completed, and the Qing army established several blockade lines along the Paijia Cliff, and more than 40 fortresses rose from the ground on the hill.

At this time, the Japanese army suddenly woke up, the back road of Yushan was cut off, and the Paijia Cliff had become a dead place, and they rushed out to break through the mine array laid by the Qing army.

The more than 700 Beidong troops who stayed in Paijiaya became chicken ribs in the eyes of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army officers made suggestions to Osakata Takeoka that they wanted to let this Beidong army rush out, and a conspiracy was conceived in the Japanese army, and more than 700 Beidong troops would meet their end.

Liu Mingdeng came to the front line, personally inspected the terrain, looked at the Japanese fortifications on the ridge, and sneered alone, he had already discovered the loopholes in the Japanese fortifications, but the time was wrong, so he did not attack the Japanese army, the Japanese army was sitting on the danger, but they did not cut down the trees on the mountain, thinking that they were hidden in the mountains and forests, and they never thought that they were sitting on the fire to roast.

Although Taiwan belongs to the tropical rainforest climate, but there are also spring, summer, autumn and winter seasons, in autumn, the trees will lose their leaves, Taiwan's driest season has come, wait until the ground is covered with a layer of dead leaves, blowing the northwest wind, he will use fire attack, all 2,000 Japanese troops burned to death in Paijia Cliff.

Liu Mingdeng had already explained to Li Guolou the operational plan of "attacking Paijia Cliff with fire", and obtained Li Guolou's approval, and the Daqingshui Division specially transported a large amount of fierce fire oil (oil) from the mainland, as long as Shen Baozhen transported the fierce fire oil to the front line, Liu Mingdeng would poison the Japanese army, and he would not burn the Japanese army to death, but also choke the Japanese army to death.

Although this is the action plan formulated by Li Guolou, Liu Mingdeng does not admire Li Guolou, only admires his ruthlessness, Li Guolou just revised the plan to improve a little, and transported some fierce fire oil from the mainland, the biggest hero is himself, Liu Mingdeng was a little restless in his heart, and asked: "Did Shen Baozhen set off from Keelung Port?" ”

Deputy General Fu Xianchu nodded and said, "We should set off today, and we can reach the front line the day after tomorrow." ”

Liu Mingdeng said: "Well, in the past two days, we will continue to hoard grass and trees, and we will burn the fire vigorously, so that it can only be sent in the next year, continue to observe the wind direction, and do it foolproof, and continue to fire artillery in the past few days, hang the appetite of the Japanese army, don't let the enemy be idle, and save the enemy from thinking nonsense." ”

Several henchmen smiled, looking at the enemy's position on the mountain, but saw a sound and shadow of a white flag on the hillside, and a soldier of the Beidong Army waved the white flag and walked down the mountain.

The expressions of everyone became strange, and the Qing troops in the forward position did not shoot, and they all looked at the soldier of the Beidong Army who was carrying the white flag.

The soldiers of the Beidong Army carrying the white flag cautiously walked down the mountain, and before they reached the foot of the mountain, they stepped on a mine.

There was a loud bang, and a cloud of smoke rose up, as if turning into a feather and ascending to the immortal, and everything disappeared from the world.

The white flag disappeared from front of his eyes, Liu Mingdeng scratched his head, and said: "I can't figure it out, is this the way people walk, first drive a group of sheep, cover the eyes of the sheep, and let the sheep step out of a passage, so that there is a way to live." ”

Everyone laughed, but to see how tenacious the Beidong army was, how many people could be sent to step on the mines, in their eyes the enemy army was worthless, there was no value in negotiation, whether it was the Japanese army or the Beidong army, they could not escape the burning of the fire.

At the entrance of the cave, Luo Shijie heard a loud noise, although he didn't see it, but he knew that the negotiator must have stepped on a mine, and it became difficult to negotiate with the Qing army.

Luo Shijie sighed, did not send a second negotiator, Sakata Takeoka gave a death order, let him lead more than 700 Beidong Army to break through, saying that the food in Paijiaya is not enough to feed the Beidong Army, a few days ago he also saw a mountain of grain, 3,000 men and horses to eat until next spring There is no problem, the Japanese army turned its face ruthlessly, and the Beidong Army was no longer welcome.

Now more than 700 Beidong troops have been sent to the forward position, there is no turning back, the Japanese army is guarding against the rebellion of the Beidong army, and even a few grenades are not given, Luo Shijie only has seven days of rations in his hand, he only has one way to break through, and he has to pass through the terrifying mine array, Luo Shijie regrets coming here very much, the Japanese are very bad, the food in Paijiaya is transported by the people of Beidong for the Japanese army, I knew this, I should return to my hometown, and now I have become an abandoned son in the hands of the Japanese army, Luo Shijie knows that he is not far from the period, the world is big, There was no place for him, and the result of betraying the Qing Dynasty was that there was no place to bury him.

Luo Shijie said to himself: "Brothers, this is not a place for people to stay, we have to break out of the encirclement and return to our hometown, although the enemy has established several blockade lines and planted some mines, but this difficulty can be rare for our glorious Beidong Army." ”

No one responded, a group of minions who greeted the horses sat listlessly on the haystack, wiping the weapons in their hands silently, originally wanted to survive this winter, but now they had to leave the strong fortress, break through the enemy's blockade, and climb over the snow-capped jade mountain, how many people could return to their hometowns.

There are tens of thousands of Qing troops under the mountains and forests, waiting for them to die, and there are countless armed Taiwanese people who want to skin them.

Luo Shijie saw that no one responded, so he justified himself and said: "Don't be afraid, we will break through tonight, we can rush out as much as we can, Kang Jiadao, you will be the pioneer??????"

Luo Shijie thought that his father-in-law, Kang Jiadao, could take risks for him, move forward bravely, and fight a bloody way.

Unexpectedly, Kang Jiadao was immersed in remorse, his daughter Kang Xiaoye was plundered by Luo Shidai, Beidong women do not have three from four virtues, respect the strong, I am afraid that they will be accepted into the room by Luo Shidai, they have already been good, I knew that today, I should have rebelled with Luo Shidai, and I would not have fallen into today's fate, now in the cave, he has the most people, and more than 300 people are his private soldiers, although the cave is very crowded, everyone does not have too much communication, but he is not afraid of anyone, and it is a big deal to die.

Kang Jiadao stood up in vain and shouted: "Lao Tzu is not this pioneer officer, brothers, let's follow Luo Shidai to revolt, rush out now, rush through the minefield, you can live, don't work for Luo Yixi, when Luo Shijie was a Japanese geisha, did you think about sharing blessings." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar, and hundreds of people in the originally lifeless stone cave jumped up, and there was a sound of pulling the bolt, and the muzzle of the Beidong Army was aimed at their leader.

"Kang Jiadao, you are so rebellious that you dare to bewitch the hearts of the army, I will kill you now." Luo Shijie raised his hand in shock, and aimed his gun at Kang Jiadao.

"You dare." Similarly, the gun in Kang Jiadao's hand was also aimed at Luo Shijie, with a posture of a fish dying and the net was broken, and the two sides were about to fight.

The two of them are all like this, some people hold grenades high, ready to fire at any time, people are on the verge of collapse, no one is afraid of death, even if the muzzle of the gun is on the chest, still refuse to show weakness, casually pull out the rattan knife, the knife is fast or the gun is fast, I only know after trying.

The cave was already crowded, and now in this situation, it is to hug everyone together and die, and several other leaders were frightened, and hurriedly persuaded the two sides to lay down their weapons and have something to discuss.

"Put the gun down, there is still time, everything is easy to discuss, now it is like this, it is not to make the relatives painful, the enemies are happy, you listen to my advice, I will not help anyone, if you want to die, you will die on the battlefield." Ning Caichuang, who spoke, was the oldest, in his forties, with a full beard, his hair and beard were gray, and he looked sad, Ning Caichuang was originally the quartermaster of the Beidong Army, but now he has nothing and has become a poor egg, but as a "she", he also has private soldiers, and there are hundreds of people in the cave who are his private soldiers.

Kang Jiadao refused to put down the gun in his hand, and shouted: "Luo Shijie, are you still harming fewer people, you father and son are the same and want our Beidong clan to exterminate the clan, I advise you, for the sake of the future of our Beidong clan, you should kill yourself, for the sake of our past relationship, I will collect the body for you." ”

Luo Shijie laughed angrily, laughing madly, his shoulders kept swaying, the muzzle of the gun in his hand rose and fell, and he would shoot at any time, Kang Jiadao's head was under his gun.

But Kang Jiadao dealt with it calmly, but put down the gun in his hand, and looked at Luo Shijie without saying a word, Kang Jiadao believed that what he said was true, it was a heartfelt word, and he said the voice of everyone, even if Luo Shijie's most loyal Hu Cong's eyes were also filled with tears of sympathy, the Qing Dynasty did not force Beidong to rebel, and the territory of Beidong people in Taiwan is the largest.

Where are the good people of the Japanese, they abandoned the Beidong people at the time of crisis and let more than 700 Beidong troops break out of the encirclement, which is to make the Beidong army commit suicide.

Horrible laughter echoed through the cave, like the sounds of hell.

Kang Jiadao sneered and said: "Luo Shijie, don't pretend, no one wants to go with you, anyway, I'm ready to revolt, whoever wants to follow me, you have no way to live, or lend us the head, so that we can have a chance to live, and when the time is ripe in the future, someone will avenge you, and then we Beidong people can still rebel, worship you as a national hero, and future generations will also sacrifice your heroic spirit, how good is this, Luo Shijie put the gun to his head, so it will be easy, Save always thinking about being shot ??????"

Kang Jiadao kept nagging, and he was actually beguiling Luo Shijie to commit suicide, a strange scene, the people next to him were silent, staring at Luo Shijie with a pair of eyes, clearly agreeing with Kang Jiadao's proposition.

Luo Shijie glanced around, the human heart was long gone, and he was physically and mentally exhausted, and muttered to himself: "Okay, I will fulfill you." ”

The dull gunshots rang out, Luo Shijie fell in a pool of blood, the cave was quiet, no one made a sound, this was a moment of shame for the Beidong tribe, in order to survive, he forced his leader to death.
