The long husband ran with sandbags on his back, they had no weapons, only relied on flexible footsteps to dodge bullets, what was the support, they dared to brave the rain of bullets to advance, of course, it was cruel, the military system of the Chu army and patriotic education, there was no ethnic distinction here, there were Han people, Hui people, and even Manchu people, most of the long husbands were hired by the army, temporary workers were equal to soldiers, alternate members, and the long husband in the Chu army was an indispensable military personnel, they also wanted to get a piece of the imperial court, and became a soldier of the Chu army, and if they wanted to make their dreams come true, they had to rely on courage and fearlessness to be promoted to the next level

Some soldiers and long-term husbands fell to the front line, and the people next to them did not hesitate to throw their corpses into the trenches, directly as sandbags, using cold-blooded warfare to cast machines, and the cold soldiers had no children on the battlefield, only to move forward, brave the artillery fire, and dare to take a step back, and the people were directly shot by the supervision team in front of the battle

Between these three trenches were densely packed, and the corpses with strange expressions spread horizontally and vertically along the trenches to the bottom of the city wall in front

This is the picture of war, every step forward is to rely on blood and flesh and blood to create a rain of bullets, the scene makes people's blood swell and frightening, no one knows whether death will come in the next moment

Xu Zhanbiao, Guo Baochang, Li Guolou and other commanders did not move, the place was still outside the range of the Hui army, observing the battle situation, the progress of the battle and the pre-war deduction was not much different, better than imagining the fierce scene, the Qing army comprehensively suppressed the Hui army's firepower, there was no trace of artillery on the head of Lijiapu City, which was good to destroy the Hui army, the artillery landing battle can reduce a large number of Qing army losses, the Qing army offensive in the east of the city is mainly to collapse a large section of the city wall, here has become the focus of contention between the two armies, there are 30 bronze cannons to support, the Qing army is still advancing step by step, one by one to eliminate the enemy's firepower points, strive to search for targets, open up the way for the infantry to advance

Siege warfare has undergone qualitative changes from ancient times to the present, in the past, the siege of the city relied on a large number of manpower to solve the battle, and many soldiers who climbed the city wall died, and now the siege of the Qing army is like an art work, and all arms work together to destroy the living force of the Hui army from the beginning to destroy the living force of the Hui army, destroy the artillery on the city, every link is carried out in a hurry, the Qing army has not many dead soldiers, for a siege war, this loss can be ignored

Standing on the fort and observing Li Guolou, you can clearly see that the Qing gunners in the forward position have rarely fired artillery, and there is no trace of the Hui army on the city, and those flying eagle battle flags of the Hui army have either been knocked down or burned

Xu Zhanbiao still didn't say a word, maintained the prestige of the chief, and next to Guo Baochang jumped up and down, and kept shouting: "Fight well, fight well, kill the dog day rebel Vice Marshal Xu, let me rush, this dog day is too slow, the city wall has collapsed, what kind of ladder do you push?"

Xu Zhanbiao ignored Guo Baochang's good words: war is a science, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there will always be small flaws in the commander's command of the operation, some of which are dependent on the front-line soldiers, the temporary machine change station, and the back can see clearly, how can they take care of the situation next to them before the kill, dare to brave the artillery fire to advance, the warriors have become tendons, and will only do the tasks assigned before the war

Hearing Guo Baochang keep nagging, Xu Zhanbiao couldn't help but turn his head and said angrily: "Guo Dazui, you are not annoyed, only you can fight, what should others do to be a baby, you want to give the local soldiers a chance to make meritorious contributions, it is not your turn today."

The generals next to him have already laughed, they are all experienced officers, how a battle will develop next, and Huang Ding said with a smile: "Guo Garrison, don't worry, there will be a place for you in the next battle."

"Oh, Huangdaotai, this is what you say, you are not allowed to regret it," Guo Baochang was pleasantly surprised, and the deputy marshal Xu Zhanbiao had already said that after three rounds of looting property and population, the Qing army would become a righteous army to save the Hui people from fire and water, and in the future, the Qing army would have to pay money to feed the surrendered Hui people

"Hey, I said Guo Shoubei, you can rest assured, I can't help it, I will ask for support," Huang Ding's official title is Shaanxi Andao, it is a civil official title, and the rank of a civil official in the Qing Dynasty is higher than that of a military attaché, and the main force on the battlefield today is him, the Sichuan army has invested 5 people, and the battle report has been sent from the west, and this battle has been won steadily, so he is in a good mood, as Xu Zhanbiao's deputy, he said the same thing, and promised to let Guo Baochang make a small fortune, just a trivial matter

Li Guolou glanced slightly, a group of military attachés beside him were so weird, the Qing army could become a nightmare for the Hui people, and it could also become a great savior for the Hui people, how should history evaluate the conquest of the Great Northwest, the Qing army could not look at people with a kind of vision, the development and evolution of history at different stages, and use different methods, just like the pirate leader Zheng Chenggong, who seized Taiwan from the Dutch and became a hero of the Chinese nation, no matter how much Zheng Chenggong did in the past, sorry, the Han people slaughtered 300,000 civilians, what a major flaw was a big deal, and Zheng Chenggong will always be a hero of the Chinese nation

Li Guolou was at ease and continued to watch the battle at the head of the city, so that he would not fight for the interests of the people of Lijiabao, would Zuo Zongtang not know what the army in front had done, and he would also pretend to be stupid, and when the right opportunity came, he would also worry about the country and the people, cry bitterly for the compatriots who died, and dedicate a piece of love

The snow-capped mountain lion flags were inspiring, and the military flags fluttering high indicated that the siege war had become white-hot

Three red signal flares rose in the western sky, indicating that the west city had been captured by officers and soldiers, looking at the exciting scene, only two toasts were anxious, Toast Peng Dingyue took out the Browning pistol, and roared: "Sons, rush with me."

Tusi Peng Dingyue led more than 100 relatives to run under the city wall, and it was already the moment of decisive battle, how could he be suppressed by the surrender faction Yang Dawazi, and behind him, Tusi Mo Baoguo was not willing to lag behind, and also led his relatives to rush up

The so-called one drum is the decisive moment of the battle, climbing on the head of the city and planting the military flag is victory, and the lion flag spreads towards the head of Lijiabao City

One flag was planted, the other flag was spread in the wind, and a flying eagle battle flag was thrown down the city, shouting and killing one after another, and countless heroic Qing officers and soldiers rushed into Lijiabao

"Hahahaha" Xu Zhanbiao looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, the Hui army was vulnerable, there was no geographical advantage, the Hui army waited for their fate, only to be slaughtered, Xu Zhanbiao opened his pocket watch, looked at the time, and said triumphantly: "I said that I went into the city for lunch, and it is not half past eight o'clock in the morning."

"Deputy Marshal Xu, wise rebels, even if they want to fight in the streets, we are not afraid that the artillery will enter the city," Huang Ding did not forget to praise a few words, his five soldiers were fighting bloody battles in Lijia Fort, and then sat on the ground to share the spoils, and he took half of the territory

As high-level commanders, they said that they wanted to go into the city for lunch, but in fact they would not enter the city, they were all officials of the imperial court, and they were familiar with the books of sages and sages: "Don't look at incivility, don't listen to incivility, don't say incivility, don't move."

Li Guolou followed Xu Zhanbiao to review the artillery position together, Xunxi Artillery Battalion does not need to move the place, as long as there is a need in front, the artillery can support at any time, which requires an understanding of artillery terminology and can calculate the accurate direction, and the observer hand transmits the message to the artillery position, otherwise the guidance is wrong, and the shells will fall into the heads of the Qing soldiers, so the artillery on the artillery position will not fire into Lijiabao unless it is absolutely necessary

Since they couldn't see the battle situation, everyone on the artillery position sat on the ground, drinking tea, smoking, and farting

The chat on the artillery position, of course, is mainly based on artillery fighting, Xun Xi's cognition of artillery is only half a bottle of ink, and the goods in his stomach are gone, and there are no new things

Li Guolou flaunted his knowledge, cleared his throat and said: " Mr. Xun Qian, you are outdated, tell you the pattern of artillery construction in the world, the American Bell invented the telephone, what is the telephone, that is, Yang Dawazi Lijiabao was besieged by Cao Kezhong's department, he couldn't hold on, he needed artillery support, and sent a herald for at least twenty or thirty minutes, and waited until you opened fire to support Yang Dawazi, who had already seen God, what should I do, at this time, the phone came into play, Yang Dawazi only needed to shout into a microphone, you can use the microphone here to hear what he said, and after a few seconds, you can artillery support, and directly overturn Cao Kezhong's people."

"What," Xun Xi scratched his head, where could he understand, as if he was in a myth

Li Guolou pouted and said: "Xun Qian always lives to learn from the old age, and the telephone and telegraph are almost inseparable, and this thing will be popularized by the army at that time, and the commander can really win thousands of miles away."

Although Li Guolou's knowledge was only seen from the newspaper, the telephone was still a rudimentary form, but imagining that the wings had been spread, he seemed to see the commander commanding the battle with a tailwind ear

"I'm a little prodigy, I can't learn anything," Xun Xi studied martial arts every day, and the students were half teachers and half friends, anyway, he was a famous thick-skinned pig, and he was ashamed to ask

Li Guolou was happy to hear this, and said with a smile: "Xun Xi's temper will be changed, and when the war is over, he will go to Prussia to further his studies, and Prussian officers will directly slap in two ears for students like you, and if they are not convinced, they will be beaten again until you obey, just like France surrendered to Prussia."

"Wang Ba Lamb, who dares to beat me" Xun Xi stood up angrily and wanted to quarrel with Li Guolou, and looked at Li Guolou like an old monk who didn't look at him when he was fixed, and after thinking about it, he couldn't beat Li Guolou, and his official rank was higher than him, forget it, haha laughed and sat down again, the hero doesn't eat the losses in front of him, and he doesn't compare with fake foreign devils

Xu Zhanbiao was quite happy when he heard this, and said with a yearning look in his eyes: "Well, when the war is over, it's time to go abroad to see, and when I see it, I can't pay for the public money and travel, so let Guo Dazui come."

Guo Baochang waved his hand without hesitation, several chiefs in front of him were millionaires, worth more than one million silver or even ten million silver, and their thoughts were very different from others, hoping that the war was still far away, and he could continue to make a fortune

The sound of guns and cannons in the ears was endless, but several commanders on the artillery position left the battlefield and did not take the Hui army in Lijiabao seriously, the Hui army had broken copper and iron and did not form a system, many Hui troops also used hunting bird guns, and the Qing army never put the Hui army in their eyes, and the Hui army did not dare to have a cavalry duel on the loess

They are a hundred battles and strong soldiers, no matter how strong the Taiping army and the twist army are also wiped out by them, at this time the Chu army is a strong army in the Qing Dynasty, the military discipline is strict, the ferocious is incomparable, and the rebels as long as they hear the banner of Zuo Zongtang, they all flee in despair

The Hui army was able to fight a territory in the northwest because the Qing Dynasty was able to recruit the habitual combat troops and fight with the Taiping army and the Twist army, and when the Qing army eliminated the Taiping army and the Twist army, the Tongzhi Emperor transferred the main force of the Qing army to the northwest, and the good days of the Hui army were over, and this was a fighting team under the banner of national independence, although it was warmly responded to by the Hui people, but the northwest was not a single ethnic gathering place

The other ethnic groups did not want to see the country divided, especially the Han, Tibetans and Mongols, the three ethnic groups, who held up most of the sky in the northwest, so an unpopular national independence movement did not get a response from all sides, and it was the Hui people who were in turmoil from beginning to end, mixed with the members of the Brotherhood of Elders, constantly pulling the flag to rebel, and the Qing army's body was vassal, and a cancer was constantly growing

There was still a rumbling cannon, and the smoke of gunpowder was thick in Lijiabao, and the battle was in full swing

"Hey" Li Guolou sighed, the more the Hui army resisted, the more the Qing army retaliated, people should still face the reality, as a weak person must correct the mentality, strong out, the consequence is to bring a nation of annihilation, for the Hui people, this is a national shame, the Qing court, the Hui people are synonymous with brutality, and the Han people are for the tiger as lackeys, but for a country, can a nation be separated from a country rule, the country is composed of different ethnic groups, who want to break away from this system, they must experience the ruthless attack of the state power, killing is the answer, killing a Lang Lang, killing until the Hui people admit defeat, killing until the Hui people surrender on their knees

The general righteousness is national unity, territorial integrity, ethnic coexistence, national harmony, and there is no state within a state, and national independence is not allowed in such a thing

Li Guolou stood up and shouted: "Vice Marshal Xu, I'll go into the city to command my Li Ziying."

Li Guolou really couldn't bear it, there were 200 death squads in Li Ziying, who were fighting in Lijiabao, but he, a high commander, drank tea, he figured out that the war, including the massacre, had no reason to experience it personally, pretending to know nothing, history did not need to be hidden, he was also a cruel executioner
