The Qing army quickly advanced and occupied Taichang Town and Zhengping Town, which seemed to win the victory without using swords and guns, but also disrupted Xu Zhanbiao's deployment, in order to prevent Dong Zhiyuan and the Hui people from fleeing in the direction of Jinjibao, the Qing army on the left launched an offensive in advance, launched a fierce attack on Ma Zhenghe and the Hui army, and Xiaojin Town became the front line of the battle

The corpses piled up in every narrow pass and the meat grinder tested the nerves of Commander Guo Baochang on the battlefield

The sound of artillery rumbled, and the smoke of gunpowder had not yet dispersed, holding high the lion flag of the snow-capped mountain, the Qing army carried a wooden ladder to the fortress, and the sound of submachine guns sounded like bursting beans, and thousands of Qing soldiers climbed like ants

It is not an exaggeration to be in the horror of hell, the fortress is big and small, the large fortress has hundreds of people, and the small fortress is only a few dozen people, but the will is strong, the army is strong, no matter how small the fortress is, the more fierce the resistance is in the smoke of gunpowder, the more fierce the killing, the more thorough, a snow-capped lion flag planted on the fortress wall, indicating the beginning of a massacre······

Killing the red-eyed Guo Baochang shouted: "Give me the three fortresses in front of me, you must take Xun Xi today, didn't you say that they were razed to the ground, why did the army return to the city and still look for so much death?"

Xun Xi cried and sighed with a sad face: "Guo Garrison, the subordinate has made great efforts, every artillery piece is fired to the designated target, the enemy also learns from the experience in the battle, as soon as our cannon sounds, the enemy will leave the city and hide, what should I do?"

Guo Baochang scolded: "Didn't the bastard tell you a long time ago to let the soldiers learn how infantry and artillery to fight together, why didn't I see the shadow of coordination, why are you proud and complacent in the past two days, how many people will die?"

"Yes, yes, at night, our artillery must study countermeasures with the infantry, so that the two armies can coordinate more closely," Xun Xi did not dare to refute on the battlefield, the Qing soldiers were also afraid of artillery fire, how dare they advance against the artillery fire, the artillery fire stopped, and then the submachine artillery fire was extended, and the coordinated operation was to pay attention to the time point, which was in line with the tactical quality of the Qing army, and it did not reach that point

At this time, Xun Xi thought of the advantages of Wutang student soldiers, and it was too important to command the battle on the battlefield, just relying on the commander to point fingers, and he was powerless, and he could only let the soldiers go wrong

"Guo Shoubei, I think you have to find a way to dig up the foot of Li Guolou's wall, dig up a group of instructors and students from the martial arts hall, and ensure that you get twice the result with half the effort, just relying on me to bring that group of people to Dagukou is still not good, especially in coordinated operations, or student soldiers, meeting the wind and making the rudder, the instructor is a baby bump," Xun Xi offered a plan and sold Li Guolou

The deputy general Guo Baoren was very dissatisfied and said angrily: "Big brother can't do this, it's going to be cold, how can the soldiers climb to the head of the Anhui army."

Guo Baochang turned his head and scolded: "When is this the bastard calling me an officer, do you know artillery, the cavalry must also learn to cooperate with the artillery, efficiency is the first priority, victory is the first thing, give me a flash, go here, you don't have a part to speak"

Guo Baochang kicked Guo Baoren's ass with the situation, he looked open-mouthed, in fact, he was cunning and wise, analyzed Xun Xi's words, and there was an answer in his heart, the middle-level officers of the army are still educated, understand tactics, and people crawl out of the pile of dead people, and the big old man is promising, and military merit is the road to promotion, but the comprehensive quality of people is also an important criterion, like Li Guolou, from the beginning, to train martial arts students and soldiers as the backbone, it is also a good move, and the people's hearts are easy to control, for Li Guolou's sinister intentions, Guo Baochang praised the supervisor, this move, he has already used it

"It's Guo Garrison," Guo Baoren resignedly, took a step back and climbed the city, no cavalry was needed, and if he didn't understand, he shouldn't talk much

Seeing that the resistance of the Hui army at the head of the city was scarce, Guo Baochang waved his hand and said: "Peng Tusi, this fortress is handed over to you."

"Yes, the lower official will definitely take this fortress," Tusi Peng Dingyue waved his hand and asked his second son Peng Siyuan to lead two hundred native soldiers to charge, this is a strategy he came up with, so that the five sons who have the ability to take turns on the battlefield, whoever is brave and survives, the Tusi seat will be passed to whomever he stands behind and watches, you can see which son is strong and hides behind the soldiers, and the son is not very promising, and will not be supported by the soldiers

Peng Siyuan didn't look at the brothers' faces and shouted: "Sons, go hunting with me"

Peng Siyuan had read the book, and in a short period of time, he figured out the rules of using howitzers, organized more than 200 native soldiers into formation, and rushed to the fortress with a howitzer

"Stop moving forward and mount the howitzer here" Peng Siyuan estimated the distance of a hundred meters from the fortress, adjusted the angle of the muzzle, and shouted: "Sons, rush me"

The native soldiers rushed to the fortress with a wooden ladder, Peng Siyuan personally opened the cannon, the first cannonball fell on the city, he ordered: "Shoot ten cannonballs for me", after speaking, Peng Siyuan led his own soldiers to rush to the head of the city, this is his father Peng Dingyue tested him, he did not dare to climb the city at any time, but he was out of breath, his son wanted to behave braver than other brothers, and he was smarter, he knew how to fight artillery, and there was only one person on the Tusi throne, and if he wanted to sit on the Tusi seat, he would let his father see that he was different and superior to others

Peng Siyuan braved the rain of bullets to climb the city, planted a big flag of Peng on the city, and the native soldiers gathered around him, fighting for the honor of the native soldiers, a nation chose its own leader, Peng Siyuan looked at the bloody slaughter in the fortress, looked up to the sky and laughed, he won the victory, the national hero of the Tu nationality is named Peng Siyuan

The local soldiers and soldiers made indelible contributions to the unification of the Qing Dynasty regardless of remuneration, and also made the Qing Dynasty to reform the land and return to the national policy, and still maintained the Tusi policy in some areas, while sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and the ethnic minorities were completely reduced to the jurisdiction of the local government, and paid taxes and taxes as always

Guo Baochang held up the telescope and said approvingly: "Well, yes, yes, Peng Siyuan will also use howitzers to plant the flag, Peng Tusi, you have a good son······"

Peng Zi banner was the first to be planted in the city, so that the toast Peng Dingyue was quite proud, not to look at the side, jealous of the four sons, the face of the competition for favor, but also to rely on the strength, the subordinates also chose to stand in line with the people's hearts, in order to make the family prosperous, Peng Dingyue had the answer in his heart, and then handed over the command of the local soldiers to Peng Siyuan, he thought clearly, the current handover of power can be smoothly transitioned, and when he dies, the five powerful sons must start fighting, cannibalism, or a family dominance, for the sake of good, egalitarianism killed

"The fortress next to Guo Garrison, let me go up," the soldier Tusi Mo Baoguo was about to move, and he fell in love with another fortress, and he sacrificed a lot to climb the city, but he also got more, and he had the right to share the property of Dong Zhi County

Guo Baochang glanced at him and said, "Mo Tusi, don't climb the city, this is an order"

Mo Baoguo took the order and left, the soldiers rushed to the city, the black and thin short body has infinite fighting spirit, a people who like to eat snakes and worship the moon, holding high the Pu knife, a kind of soldiers, building their own weapons, killing people in a cruel way with human beings

Ants like soldiers, their value is the master's hand of the sword, for the glory of the battlefield, the soldiers are short, the body climbs the wooden ladder, the speed flies, in their eyes, the army is just a coward in the hole, only the soldiers in this world can be called warriors

The battle at the head of the city is hand-to-hand combat, the speed of shooting restricts the efficiency of killing, and the Hui army and the soldiers use broadswords to solve the battle, killing and killing without retreat, and the enemy and us are not dying

The soldiers are good at the battle formation, as long as they climb the head of the city, they can form a battle formation, one person is brave in battle, two people fight with three people, and the battle is technical

One soldier rattan card blocked the Hui army's broadsword, the other soldier hooked the Hui army's ankle with a hook and sickle spear, the third soldier chopped off the head of the Hui army with a knife, and the fourth soldier behind him was accustomed to naturally tie a head to his waist, and the soldier next to him blocked the Hui army's broadsword, they only need to solve a Hui army, and it is enough to solve a Hui army at a time, and every time someone falls, he is a Hui soldier

The battle continues to be brave, the Hui soldiers just can't kill the soldiers, the tall Hui soldiers can't beat the soldiers, the flexible body and the smart tactics are good at killing people in small areas

Countless Qing soldiers climbed up to the top of the city, condescendingly aimed at the back of the fortress and shot at the Hui army

The Qing army occupied the head of the city, and the Hui army had no advantage, and the Mauser gun in the Qing army's hand exerted its power, and the platoon gun shot was huge, and the grenade was thrown into the Hui army

The roar, the shouts of killing, the earth-shattering noise, and the earth returned to tranquility in an instant, only the ruined fortress remained, the smoke of gunpowder had not yet dissipated, and the Qing soldiers fell to rest on their heads for a while, and the victory was not worth celebrating

The Qing army fantasized about a big city, stirred up their hearts, and hid in Dong Zhixian County, and Ma Zhenghe was able to make these Qing soldiers who had experienced a hundred battles cheer up

Guo Baochang crossed his hands on his hips and said with a smile: "Grandma dares to stand in my way, only the ashes will disappear to me, listen, I don't want to take prisoners, tomorrow I want to cross the river engineer battalion, I want to see three pontoon artillery battalions, I order the artillery to destroy the Hui military fortifications on the other side of the river, and the cavalry battalion will wipe out all the Hui army rangers······"

Guo Baochang issued a military order, the soldiers must continue to move forward, pursue honor, put the battle flag on Dong Zhixian County, annoying personnel passed in an instant, and the difficulty was pushed to his subordinates

Guo Baochang is a general, good at the scene and machine changes, at a glance on the battlefield, he knows how to arrange the troops, three strong fortresses, a day to destroy the Hui army in sections, the implementation of the strategy of holding and delaying, was destroyed by the Qing army's powerful artillery fire one by one, blocking the river in front of Guo Baochang, his eyes seem to be gone

Xu Zhanbiao's army on the left road cleared Dong Zhiyuan, and the return army could meet with the Huai army on the middle road, and Zhang Yao could advance to Jinjibao together, this is Zuo Zongtang's implementation of strategic deployment, every step of the way to force the return army to a dead end, I can't help but admire Zuo Shuai's strategic superiority

Guo Baochang was very anxious, he wanted to be promoted to the first level of the general soldier title very much, relying on the head of the army marshal Ma Zhenghe, this time the deputy marshal Xu Zhanbiao gave him the opportunity to make meritorious service, and he couldn't grasp the words, he could only blame himself for not being angry, and he was grateful to Xu Zhanbiao, but he complained: "Grandma, Deputy Marshal Xu, left the dirty work to me, let Huang Ding and Xiaobai face go to engage in friendship activities, robbers and murderers, life is more comfortable than ours, every day is big fish and meat, what do we have to eat at night, are there cattle in the fortress of the Hui army?"

"No, but we have a lot of sheep, three hundred and fifty in all, enough to feed the soldiers," said the quartermaster

"Then forget it, I'll still eat canned food" The war can't be eaten as a meal to win the victory, Guo Baochang's appetite increased greatly, and he was ready to reward the three armies for a full meal

After the smoke of gunfire, Xiaojin Town was blocked by a Jing River, and the Qing army and the Hui army faced each other across the bank, and scattered artillery shells flew across the river to bombard the Hui army's position

rumble

But no one looked at it, it was just to tell the soldiers that they were on the battlefield and the battle would continue, and the dusk reflected in Dong Zhiyuan's blood, and the sunset was like a red fallen leaf falling to the ground covered with yellow dust, and the hill turned dark purple under the slanting sun, like a reef in a sea of clouds

What is the afterglow of the sun, what is the afterglow of the sun, and the afterglow shines on the graves, guns are fired into the sky, and the eyes of the Qing soldiers are full of tears, and the blood debt must be used to pay for the motherland, and there are killings every day on the Loess Plateau, and graves will be built

Sitting on the ground, the soldiers looked at the boiling smoke and the potato and mutton soup was boiling in the cauldron, they were still alive, they could still eat a mouthful of grain and mutton, and the meaning of life was for the great cause of the reunification of the motherland, and they would continue to fight tomorrow
