The Pingtung Plain of Taiwan was full of war, and Liu Mingchuan led an army of 20,000 to surround Orchid City.

In a flat open land set up a large camp, the army camped meticulously, digging three deep ditches in front of the camp, burying antlers, and erecting a high guard tower every fifty steps, hiding cannons behind the car encirclement, preventing the Japanese army from breaking through the camp, in the middle is the soldier tent, and another camp tent is placed miscellaneous animals and other things.

Thousands of big tents are stationed according to the six parts, with the Qiqi flag, the Pixiu flag, the Qilin flag, the squatting tiger flag, the Tengbao flag, the eagle flag and other six-pole flags as distinctions, in the middle is the big flag with black edge and white background, the word "Liu" is written on the big bucket, and there is a big Yellow Dragon Flag of the Qing Dynasty, fluttering in the wind.

Thousands of camp tents are neat and orderly, the humanitarian and horse roads are clearly distinguished, and each battalion has officers to lead patrols, rotating in three shifts, and every detail is meticulous.

This is Liu Mingchuan's style of leading the troops, governing the army very strictly, rewarding heavy rewards, and punishing killing, each of his strict military orders is imperceptibly affecting the generals under his command, and people call Liu Mingchuan "killing God", which is not an exaggeration at all.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the commander Liu Mingchuan talked to Li Guolou, asking Li Guolou, who had just come to the front line, not to point fingers, and the battle of Orchid City could be commanded by him independently.

Liu Mingchuan was very dissatisfied with Li Guolou's visit to the front line, and in front of everyone, he gave Li Guolou face, got along alone, did not have a good face, and glanced at him: "Li Guolou, what are you doing, how to fight Orchid City is my business, you don't take care of your injuries, what are you scared of." ”

Li Guolou was not angry, the contented person was happy, took a sip of Biluochun, and looked left to say the rest: "Well, good tea, Liu Liumazi, you also sit down and drink, I won't rob you of the credit." ”

Liu Mingchuan would give Li Guolou face, and said angrily: "You are here, you are robbing me of the credit, which round will I be in the limelight." ”

Li Guolou waved his hand and said: "How dare you, how dare you, Taiwan is still up to you, I am now a spectator, I can learn from my predecessors the experience of fighting a war, and I will not seize power." ”

Liu Mingchuan sat down, looked at Li Guolou jealously, and sighed that his career was connected with Li Guolou, sharing honor and disgrace, even after breaking up, he would work together, Li Guolou's way of fighting, following his style, is better than blue, and is praised by the people.

Although Liu Mingchuan was not convinced by Li Guolou and believed that his military talent was superior to Li Guolou, he had to admire Li Guolou's strategic deployment, peek through the sickness of the war in Taiwan, win the hearts of the people, anticipate the enemy first, attack the enemy unprepared, and defeat the battle.

The 20,000 horses led by Liu Mingchuan, 14,000 men and horses were soldiers, plus the logistics and transportation of people, and nearly 50,000 ethnic minority people were mobilized in the Battle of Orchid City.

Inspired by Li Guolou, the people of all nationalities in Taiwan voluntarily contributed money, food, and strength to this war against aggression and fought for the country without compensation.

can make the barbarians who only talk about the interests of their own nation fight for the country, and only Li Guolou has this charisma in the Qing Dynasty.

"Li Guolou, since you are here, you are responsible for the errand of entertaining the toast, I have the best rice paper here, you first write twenty pieces of 'loyalty and righteousness' in big characters, and then give them to those toasts, military deployment, I have completed, the five tunnels have been directly under the Orchid City, you can see." Liu Mingchuan didn't give Li Guolou a chance to give advice, but instead assigned tasks to Li Guolou and asked Li Guolou to engage in public relations.

"Can I go to the front line and see the officers and soldiers?" Li Guolou was helpless, and looked at Liu Mingchuan with a blank eye, the Battle of Orchid was the largest battle launched by the Qing army this year, and let him stay in the camp of the Chinese army, what is the difference between this and sitting in Keelung Port.

"You want my life, you are absolutely not allowed to run to the forward position, now our army has the initiative, morale is high, you don't need to boost morale, don't get carried away, and finally be happy and sad." Liu Mingchuan stood at the height of truth and categorically rejected Li Guolou's proposal.

After he was injured, Li Guolou did not have a hard heart, and the commanders of all walks of life talked to themselves, using his injury as an excuse, often bypassing the command headquarters, and reporting the military situation to the military department first, he could no longer control the two armies of Liu Mingdeng and Liu Mingchuan, which was also related to the situation of the war, the Japanese army could not organize a large-scale campaign, and the pressure on the Qing troops from all walks of life was small, and the commanders of all walks of life were able to formulate their own combat plans.

Li Guolou, as the commander-in-chief, formulated strategic arrangements, and the specific battles were carried out by the commanders of all directions, and everyone performed their own duties, and could not overstep their responsibilities, Li Guolou did not argue with Liu Mingchuan, but listened to Liu Mingchuan's tactical deployment.

Liu Mingchuan was confident, pointed out the huge sand table, and told the situation of the Beidong Army and the Japanese army in Orchid City.

The Japanese army in Orchid City has two corps, about 2,000 people, but these more than 2,000 Japanese troops belong to the wounded and sick troops with extremely poor combat effectiveness, the Japanese army misbehaved, and wantonly raped ethnic minority girls in Taiwan, and was punished, many soldiers were infected with venereal diseases, commonly known as "plague", every day Japanese soldiers died of illness, ethnic minority girls were as terrible as the plague, seriously affecting the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army.

When the Japanese army first came to Taiwan to fight, the Japanese army also transported the wounded back to China, but this made the army even more unstable, and even some Japanese soldiers self-harmed, just to return to China and escape the war, the Japanese army command in order to punish these wounded soldiers, Lieutenant General Saigo Congdao made a decision to send these soldiers infected with the "plague" to Orchid City, and defend the city together with the Beidong Army led by Luo Yuxi.

Now in Orchid City, in addition to the 2,000 Beidong miscellaneous army and the 2,000 Japanese army with extremely poor combat effectiveness, there are also some minority soldiers who surrendered to the Japanese army, about 1,000 people, most of whom are Paiwan people.

The war was extremely vicious, and in order to survive, many people chose to surrender on the battlefield, or even fought back, and finally died for the enemy.

"Now in Orchid City, there are about 5,000 remnants of the defeated generals hiding, these Beidong soldiers have committed blood debts, and those female Beidong soldiers are more ferocious than the male Beidong army, and they are not exempted." Liu Mingchuan is not ready to accept prisoners, he wants to wash Orchid City in blood.

Li Guolou understood as soon as he heard it, his face changed in vain, as if he saw the most terrifying scene, and shouted: "Liu Mingchuan, you can't fight like this, it's easy to break through the city wall in siege warfare, but after attacking the city, it will become a street battle, and the artillery can't play a powerful role in the street battle, now the remnants of Orchid City have become crazy, and if you attack it, you will make all the soldiers suffer heavy casualties, these soldiers will suffer a lot of casualties, so they won't fight hard, and then we still have to contribute our own efforts, or we should take Orchid City at the lowest cost to avoid excessive casualties." ”

Liu Mingchuan nodded and said: "Please rest assured, I have also taken this into consideration, but attacking with fire, the damage is too great, and you will have to take more responsibility for rebuilding Orchid City in the future." ”

Li Guolou smiled bitterly: "Liu Liu Mazi, I am not a golden rooster, I can lay a golden egg every day, give me a few years, I will support you, since the enemy in Orchid City is not strong in combat, just dying and struggling, it is better to use more night battles, rely on the personal bravery of the soldiers, solve the enemy, and there will be brave men under the heavy reward." ”

Liu Mingchuan said with a smile: "Li Guolou, that's right, I'll use fierce fire oil to clean up, this thing can let you visit, come, pen and ink waiting, please Commander Li first inscription, 'Loyalty and Righteousness' Four big characters, worth a thousand gold." ”

Li Guolou said helplessly: "Okay, I write, but I write big characters, and my arm strength is limited, so I only write ten characters today." ”

Li Guolou wrote big characters, which was not outstanding, dragging his injured right arm, and reluctantly wrote "Loyalty and Righteousness".

Nowadays, those toasts are proud of Li Guolou's Mobao, and they especially like the evaluation of "Loyalty and Righteousness", and they don't care whether it is justified, and the barbarians do not talk about cause and effect, and they are loyal to Li Guolou, so they are worthy of the evaluation of "Loyalty and Righteousness".

Li Guolou finished writing calmly, put down the brush, squeezed out a smile and said: "Liu Zhentai, in my opinion, the enemies in Orchid City should still be treated differently, and those soldiers should be allowed to surrender. ”

Liu Mingchuan heard Li Guolou talk about democratic policies, Li Guolou also wanted to recruit thousands of soldiers in Orchid City, and the anger that he suppressed burned again, and he said angrily: "Let go of your shit, these beasts who work for tigers, I can't wait to eat their flesh and drink their blood, I will take you to see what the enemy is doing now, so that you, a new science and technology scholar, can have more knowledge." ”

Liu Mingchuan dragged Li Guolou, rushed out of the Chinese army's tent, walked for more than ten minutes, and came to a cedar forest, but saw that in the deep pit dug more than 100 meters, there were all twisted corpses, and thousands of corpses were piled up together, which was shocking.

Many of the corpses did not have noses, that is the treatment of Qing prisoners of war, the Japanese army cut off the noses of Qing prisoners of war, and then transported the noses back to China, to build a Qing prisoners of war nose mound, erect a monument, to remember the great achievements of the Taiwan expedition group, (in the end it was not built, the Japanese destroyed the evidence,)

Even Li Guolou, who was used to seeing dead bodies, couldn't bear to look at it more, he was stunned, and he couldn't express his mood at this time in words, it was too heavy.

Liu Mingchuan said gloomily: "In such a place, we have found five places, all of which were done by those brutes in the city, how can you tell me to spare them." ”

Li Guolou's eyes were red, choked and trembled, he knew that this kind of thing would inevitably happen in war, especially the national war, that is, the ethnic cleansing war, the land was soaked in blood and tears, and the history of blood and tears of the nation was like this.

To tell the truth, the Qing army will also do this kind of thing, and the "killing god" Liu Mingchuan around him, as his name suggests, is he a good class.

can be immersive, his chest is depressed, there is nowhere to vent, and he said angrily: "Kill, this is done by a beast." After speaking, Li Guolou walked away, this is not a place for people to stay, he has the urge to kill, he wants to cut off the enemy's head, this time at least ten heads, in order to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Killing people is addictive, Li Guolou's violent murderous aura is exposed, and he walks like the wind.

Liu Mingchuan squinted, his cheeks trembled, he sneered alone, and when he saw death at a glance, Li Guolou was a hypocrite, a villain with a true temperament.

In Orchid City, the Japanese soldiers patrolling along the road were lifeless, with puscesses on their faces, and their stiff expressions were like zombies.

The Japanese army's military drills were impeccable, even if they were riddled with injuries and illnesses, they were still meticulous.

However, the unspeakable brutality caused the people of Taiwan to suffer a catastrophe, and the entire Taitung Plain was baptized in blood, and it also spread to the Taichung Plain, and the Japanese army looted a large amount of materials and manpower to consume in the war.

Tens of thousands of male captives built fortifications for the Japanese army, and then all were buried alive, and countless women were ravaged, at this time, there were more than 900 young women left in Orchid City, living an inhuman life.

In an orchid city, there is plenty of grain and grass, and there are thousands of mules on horseback, and the Japanese army is ready to fight with the Qing army.

The Japanese army had the determination to burn all the jade, and the Orchid City was the place where they were buried, and the jar was broken, and the Orchid City was built into a meat grinder, relying on the strong city fortifications, hoping to kill and injure a large number of Qing troops here.

At this time, those who were still fighting side by side with the Japanese army were all stubborn traitors, loyal to the Japanese emperor, and determined to fight to the death.

Luo Xianxin stood on the city tower, admiring the vertical and horizontal fields, the deep ditch has reached the foot of the city wall, the officers and soldiers of the Qing army hid in the hole in the ground, and built the fortifications under the Orchid City, what a spectacular scene, the enemy is under the nose, and the Orchid City is surrounded by water.

There was a huge explosion faintly, the earth trembled, Luo Xin's face was unusually ugly, it was the Qing army sappers blasting in the hole, the surface layer was under the stone that could not be dug up, the Qing army sappers used explosives, relying on blasting to dig holes, although the Qing army sappers were slow to work, but the sappers were working every day, digging tunnels day and night, like rats persevering, the hole would be dug under the city wall one day, waiting for him was a shocking roar, and the killing sound shook the sky.

The Japanese army had no choice but to wait for the moment when the city wall collapsed.

Maybe it's the last day of life, no regrets in this life, no fear of death, all the fun that should be enjoyed, the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, finally becoming the "king of Beidong", you can go to see your ancestors with peace of mind.

Luo Yuxin, who is in his fifties, overindulges in desires, his muscles become flabby, his fat face looks bloated, a pair of murderous eyes, lose their original luster, and become dull, Luo Yuxin touches a bottle of poison in his pocket, Li Guolou, Liu Mingchuan, Luo Shidai, come on, Luo Yuxin is standing on the city tower, asking for the impermanence of life, come on.
