Chapter 510: The Moat of Yongyang Mansion City
The Qing army braved the artillery fire, dug five ditches, drained the moat of Yongyang Mansion City, and the Qing army suppressed the city with artillery fire, and the Hui army fought happily, the smoke of gunpowder filled the wall bricks, and the shells were torn apart, splashing, the Qing army firepower was fierce, and the Qing army used powerful artillery fire to suppress the Hui army's firepower, and the Qing army caught fish to improve food, Xu Zhanbiao promised not to attack Yongyang Mansion City within three days of returning to the army, but did not say that he was prepared before the battle, nor did he do the sound of guns, and told the Hui army, the Qing army had no faith, turned his face, and did not recognize people
The five marshals Chen Lin and the seventh marshal Feng Junfu did not go to the city, and the hot weapons appeared, so that the commander easily did not dare to make mistakes, and the two looked up at the smoke of gunpowder and filled the city wall to command the Hui army to counterattack, which was a test of the tenacity of the defenders, although the Qing army was fierce in artillery fire, and fell on the city like an eye, but the Hui army was not afraid of death, and the Hui army still hid in the corner of the city, stretched out the gun barrel and shot at the people who were digging trenches
How many gunners of the Qing army, marksmen, which place at the head of the city exposed the barrels of guns, shells fell like raindrops, the Qing army covered with heavy artillery fire, dug ditches, and the people returned to the army, and the flesh and blood of a group of soldiers rushed up to the smoke, and the first ten people in the city died as a team, and immediately another army returned to take over, and the two sides came and went, testing the quality of will, and no one refused to retreat
As soon as the shells took half an hour, when the time came, the artillery needed to cool down, and the people who dug the ditch retreated backwards, crisscrossing the ditch, extending from a distance to the city, and from the head of the city, you could see that the ditch was still lifting pieces of dirt, and the people were still digging and the bullets could not hit the people in the ditch
The fifth marshal, Chen Lin, lurked to the head of the city, holding a telescope and lying on the head of the city, looking at the scene outside the city, thousands of ravines, and fields, I don't know how many Qing troops were ambushed
The Qing Dynasty is rich in manpower, relying on the harsh military law of the Chu army to train the soldiers, and the people are also trained to be fierce warriors who are not afraid of death, this war has long evolved into a protracted war of attrition, and it is worth fighting for the great cause of the nation
"Well, the fight is very good, the dog has at least killed thousands of people, a moat is nothing, our city is impregnable," the fifth marshal Chen Lin loudly encouraged morale, and the surrounding Hui troops were rushing to repair the city wall, and the dilapidated place was built with bricks, and the masins flew with cement to strengthen the city wall
The appearance of artillery makes the city wall vulnerable, and the city wall is very broken, which requires continuous repair and continuous reinforcement of the city wall, and sometimes the city wall cannot be repaired, and the defenders have to rebuild a wall in the city to block the Qing army, and the foreign army and people can build a defense system without one night
"Fifth Marshal, didn't you say that there is a three-day truce?" asked a Hui Jun
"Now you know that the Qing army is talking and letting go of bullshit, don't be afraid that Ma Dashuai will come to support us and eat beef at night," the fifth marshal Chen Lin gave the soldiers defending the city a hollow soup ball, and gave Yu the appetite, how could Ma Dashuai come to the front line to die, looking at the dilapidated city wall, some worried, just a round of shelling of the city, the city will become like this, and then how capable the Qing army is
Chen Lin is a staunch nationalist, willing to shed his blood for the cause of national liberation, but it is not yet the time to die, the Hui army relies on Dong Zhiyuan's terrain to fight a protracted war with the Qing army, does not measure the gains and losses of one city and one place, the Hui army still has strategic depth, it is a big deal to retreat to Xiaozhou and Jinjibao, the northwest is untenable, the root Hui army can still make great strides to retreat, southern Xinjiang, and the establishment of the Islamic empire Zhedeshar State
Although the state of Zhedeshar was a foreigner who established an Islamic empire, he had the same beliefs and would rather be a foreign Islamic than a Manchu lackey
Determined, Chen Lin walked down the city, a little worried, and said: "Feng Shuai, have you been to the west of the city, what did the Qing army do there?"
Seven marshals Feng Junfu rushed back and said: "Chen Shuai, the Qing army is still surrounded by Sanque, there is only a small number of cavalry activities in the west of the city, I led the cavalry to rush out, and they fled, deliberately giving me a road."
"Well, this shows that Xu Huzi's troops are not enough, the enemy still wants us to mess up first, well, the time is almost there, the enemy's artillery fire is about to be intimidating again, do you say let the soldiers in the city dodge," Chen Lin calculated the time, hesitated whether to continue to fight with the Qing army, and the chance of surviving under the artillery fire was too small, the Qing army's first round of artillery fire made the Hui army suffer heavy losses, and the Hui army lost more hands and feet than killed in battle, watching the wounded being carried down the city one by one, Chen Lin was a little unable to bear it
"Hey, I said that the moat will always be buried by the Qing army, at this time it is not worth the consumption, they are the people, we are the soldiers, it is better to dodge the artillery fire" Feng Junfu sighed slightly, the artillery battle has its own artillery battle rules, mastering the rules of artillery warfare, you can kill many soldiers, those people outside the city are the bait of the Qing army, many people are Hui people, and prisoners of war killed them, they can't even hurt the Qing army
The second round of artillery battles began, shells flew towards the city, the roar was everywhere, the Hui army no longer counterattacked, and there was no trace of the Hui army on the city
The people in the city worked hard to dig ditches, and they had to dig hard to dig soil in order to survive, of course, they also had another choice, turned around and faced the Qing army, and shot the Qing army to death
These Qing soldiers were captured as cannon fodder and worked for the Qing army on the front line of the Hui people, and there were at least thousands of people working in the field of vision, and the young and strong people who worked would be accepted by the Qing army's Hui detachment to become glorious Qing soldiers, turn their guns and beat the Hui army
This is how the Qing army dealt with the rebellious ethnic minorities, and it was not mentioned in the book, this is also a tactical art of war, everyone will use it, it looks very cruel, but the effect is very good, and the righteous army is good at using this trick, which is called the people's will, and will only consume their own troops, and the general is not a qualified general, and the war is a war of hard attrition, and this kind of thing happens, especially when the protracted war is fought, and it is the national war that is fought later
Watching the water flowing out of the moat, the water flowing along the ditch to the distance, the people cheered, as if they had won the battle, and the huge cheers resounded throughout Yongyang Mansion, and the people outside the city had a good meal and the capital to live
Once risking death to dig a ditch, the captured Hui army and the Hui people had a centripetal force, making them feel that they had broken off from the past to serve the Qing Dynasty
The commanders of the Qing army all watched this scene on the slope, the water flowed to the ditch below the slope, the soldiers stood in the water and caught fish with nets, it was very funny, the front of the war, the rear of the fish to catch the war, the war is just a part of life, to live to eat, and if there is a chance to fight tooth sacrifice, they will not let go
Xu Zhanbiao looked at the sludge all over his body, and the soldier left after a few laughs, he didn't come to play, but walked along the ditch to the forward position, and observed the deployment of the north of Yongyang Mansion City up close
The Qing army sappers were studying whether they could dig a tunnel in the north of the city, and first tried to dig a hole, but because it had just rained, the water seepage was terrible, and they couldn't dig it, and the operation ended in failure
Li Guolou asked quite strangely: "Didn't Vice Marshal Xu say that he would climb the city wall, why do you have to try to dig tunnels?"
Xu Zhanbiao touched the slippery soil and said: "Chief Li, relying on others is all fake, and besides, you can't delay doing things, even if you can't use it, you have to act, fighting a war is heaven and earth, and let's act together, where is the breakthrough in the end, no one knows if it's called a military secret, learn it well," After speaking, Xu Zhanbiao stroked Li Guolou's military uniform with his dirty hands, and used Li Guolou's military uniform as a rag
Li Guolou's brows furrowed, and he was disgusted in his heart, the officers saw Li Ziying wearing a military uniform, he was jealous, and deliberately gave him an ugly look in his heart, this is not to see that people are doing well, looking at the gloating expressions around him, Li Guolou sighed quite unevenly: "Mu Xiu is in the forest and the wind will destroy the line, higher than the top, people will be destroyed, I shouldn't write a letter of persuasion, I shouldn't give a reward of 100,000 taels of silver, and now it's a rat, I can't beat it."
"Lord Li is too worried, I'm just joking with you, please eat grilled fish at noon," Xu Zhanbiao apologized to Li Guolou, but his dirty hand held Li Guolou's hand, which made Li Guolou feel uncomfortable
Hey, after a long time, it will reveal the human nature and these Qiu Ba, who has stayed for a long time, is not afraid of him, Li Guolou has a backstage, Li Guolou is a wry smile, surrounded by military generals, and now they are scolding, and they can't get rid of them, ignore them, they will also come to Li Ziying to fight tooth sacrifices, and talk about life with him, as if he, a tanhualang, can understand everything and can guide them in the future
The friendship of life and death honed on the battlefield makes them become casual and suffers is a blessing Xu Zhanbiao's move shows that it is a big deal to support him in formulating a sneak attack plan, leaving a mess like sludge, Yongyang Mansion City is taken down, even if the surprise attack fails, it is not a matter of the overall situation, if it wins, it will bloom everywhere, Xu Zhanbiao is coming in spring
Li Guolou figured out why Xu Zhanbiao was dissatisfied with him, just because he gave a temptation, and Xu Zhanbiao couldn't refuse the temptation, until now, he still wanted to surprise the town affairs of the Ten Societies, Xu Zhanbiao was caught by him and got into the tip of the horns, oh, it's not right, it should be called a hero, and it is slightly the same
"Hehe, it's not important that Vice Marshal Xu eats fish, it's how the fish gets hooked," Li Guolou looked scheming and left Xu Zhanbiao's side with his hands behind his back
Li Guolou has ordinary people without whimsical plans, although most of them are in the air, but with his ability, the business empire has begun to take shape, and after the Qing Dynasty issued silver dollars and paper money, he was forced to do errands, and this country was him, which still needed to pay hard work, and the wind on the pillow was to the Empress Dowager Cixi, The Empress Dowager Ci'an blows up, the man makes the beautiful man plan to spend a lot of energy, tossing enough on the bed, not ashamed to make a face, even if it belongs to the old three, but to be favored by a face, and it is the full-time face of the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and the face is very favored, and the military supplies are transported to the Li Ziying camp from all over the country, and even become a heavy burden, so that he will never be able to turn over
I haven't touched a woman for a long time, Li Guolou's expression has become obscene, and at first glance, he looks like a slut
"Chief Li, I miss you," Xu Zhanbiao dared to tease Li Guolou, and the others didn't dare to call him brother so directly, and the friendship lasted forever, Guo Baochang glanced at the thief and smiled lewdly
"Hey, I still like to use a stabbing gun to fight on the battlefield to show my bravery," Li Guolou punned, worthy of the stars holding the moon and the stars
There are bursts of laughter, some people don't understand for a while, others have laughed and then dragged behind and laughed, they all like to gather around Li Guolou to listen to Li Guolou's speech, there will always be a humorous remark that makes people laugh, and often there are thought-provoking words that make people feel painful
Xu Zhanbiao was a little dazed, and even Guo Baochang and Huang Ding's figures naturally followed Li Guolou and hugged each other, talking and laughing together, so young, a literati actually had a hundred responses, should Li Guolou's words be trusted once
Grandma Xiong, even the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, also has a lot of trust in Li Guolou, he still cares about what kind of surprise attack battles, one percent of the chance of victory, there is also a possibility of victory, anyway, as Huang Ding said, if it is not successful, there is a big deal to run away with his tail between his legs, Li Guolou will not use explosives bags and grenades to fight with the enemy like Gao Liansheng, and the defeat will be avoided, and the fight will be avoided, and the faction will surrender, so that there are now thousands of Hui compatriots who dare to fight and dare to fight on the battlefield
"Chief Li, come here, don't be angry, Ben Shuai really invites you to eat grilled fish," Xu Zhanbiao likes Li Guolou to sit next to him, this is him, how can Zhao Zilong snub the general's heart
