As the strength of the army increased, the city gate was finally captured, and thousands of soldiers of the elite militia brigade first poured into the city, and after suffering heavy losses from the enemy with several salvos from houses and streets, the artillery that followed behind loaded solid shells with three-pounder guns, and several shells blew up the garrison on the side of the street, and then the infantry followed up and fired at the fleeing Qing soldiers with platoon guns.

The Qing soldiers were defeated, and they abandoned their weapons and fled, and the elite militia brigades and the soldiers of the field brigade who came down from the city walls began to fight from all streets to the palace.

With the influx of cavalry brigades behind, the entire county was divided, and the cavalry brigade left a hundred companies to guard at the intersection of the next street, and then the next one, the militia elite brigades that followed up one after another, and the cavalry ran forward in connection, and the field brigade did not stay after coming, and began to besiege the enemy who resisted stubbornly with the compound and the stockade.

The battle lasted for a day and a night, and when the guns fell, the entire coastal prefecture fell into the city, and there were soldiers searching for Qing deserters everywhere, and the large group of men and horses surrounded the mansion, and a few cannons went down, and the wall of the mansion collapsed a large area, and the soldiers of the field brigade rushed up, although there were also many casualties, but they soon used their rich combat experience to force the enemy into a dead end, and then it was a unified bombardment, and soon the battle of the mansion ended.

Yao Qisheng and a few general soldiers were dragged out, tied up with a rope, pushed and left, several general soldiers in the past scenery were like devils, Yao Qisheng was like a performance artist in later generations, there was no good place in his body.

By the third day, Bagyaru rode into the city, and the city had been cleared, and although there were occasional gunshots, it was nothing.

The whole battle lasted two days and one night, if you count the battle on the outskirts on the first day, the whole battle lasted three days and one night, it took two weeks to encircle, a week to prepare, defeated 100,000 Qing troops newly recruited Shaanxi Prefecture Minzhuang and 10,000 Han army banners, the next day advanced to the outside of the city, defeated the enemy who resisted outside the city, surrounded the city, pushed the artillery and bombarded it all morning, attacked in the afternoon, cleared it in the evening, continued to clear the next day, and the third day the battle ended, and the whole campaign went through a month.

Successfully annihilated the 350,000 Qing soldiers led by Yao Qisheng, including 200,000 soldiers and horses of the surrendered Dajin Kingdom, among the 150,000 troops, there were 80,000 Goguryeo soldiers, 5,000 Japanese soldiers, 30,000 Mongolian cavalry, 6,000 authentic Manchu people, and 25,000 Han army banner soldiers and horses.

In addition to the more than 90,000 people in Shaanxi and Gansu Prefectures who were conscripted, 440,000 Qing soldiers were annihilated.

However, Yu Chengchan's 1,500 people escaped.

A regiment of the cavalry brigade was already in pursuit.

After meeting with Wang Yuqun of the Eighth Field Division, who was in charge of the defense and encirclement and suppression of the central region, Baghyalu sighed: "This time we don't need to go through the hard work of encirclement and suppression, the Qing army has done a good thing for us, they have gathered together those landlords and gentry who oppose us, the families of the great powers, bandits, horse bandits, and returning soldiers, and we have gathered and annihilated 90,000 people in one go." ”

Wang Yuqun smiled and said: "Congratulations, captain, this battle will at least make you a governor, and maybe you can become a real local governor in the future." ”

Wang Yuqun and Bagyalu were both from the pro-guards, and Baghyalu was also the captain of the pro-guard team at that time, and Wang Yuqun was his subordinate.

Ba Yalu patted him on the shoulder, "You are not bad, you annihilated the enemy's remaining 40,000 Goguryeo troops and Mongolian cavalry, and closed the siege in time, which made me a lot less burdened, and we cooperated well." Why don't you come to me? Don't mess with merlin. ”

Wang Yuqun smiled: "Come to you, what can I do?" You are full of talents here, where am I good to be a field division commander, come to you to be the commander of a division, it is better for me to stay in the original place, there are many acquaintances, everyone is harmonious, and it is not a stranger. I don't know many people here, look at Gao Hui, he is still a former teammate of the Guards, and Gao Jie is from the Dashun Army, Baiyi and Keyi are a little strange, Gao Zhixiang is a surrenderer, let alone a person who has gone all the way. ”

Baghyalu took out a box of osmanthus cigarettes from his body, took out one and handed it to Wang Yuqun, and the two of them looked at the soldiers and officers around them, and the civilian officials were busy, while reminiscing about the past fighting years, and chatting about the current affairs.

After a long time, Baghyalu said: "It is about to be reunified, Your Majesty definitely does not need so many field divisions, the field divisions will be reduced, with your performance in Your Majesty a few days ago, I am afraid that you will not be able to be the commander of the field division, even if it is the general army of the field division after relegation, it is impossible, I will write to Your Majesty to ask you over."

But I can't serve as the commander of the field division, and Xuanyuan Longfei communicated, he proposed that you serve as the commander of the garrison in Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture, I also think it's good, in the future, I will definitely attack the Yarkand Khanate or the steppe, the Merlinfish Corps will go all the way to the east, attack Shanxi Prefecture, and cooperate with the Hu Kui Corps to fight, the unification of the great cause is the key, I will be transformed into a secondary battlefield here, but I can't have no one to guard the rear for me, I think you are the right person. ”

Wang Yuqun was a little dull and a little sad, although he was tired of the war, he still didn't want to retire in the second-line garrison, staying in the field army and retiring was glory, staying in the garrison, that was the reserve of the field army, it was definitely not as glorious as the field army, and he felt a little lost in his heart.

Bagyaru patted him on the shoulder, "Think about it, according to what Merlinyu told me, His Majesty was angry that day, and threatened to send you to the Advisory Bureau to serve as the Advisory Bureau, and to take care of the nursing home where those county-level grandfathers stayed, the garrison is a military unit, and it will not weaken your reputation as a brave man." ”

"Okay, I'll be the commander of the Shaanxi-Gansu garrison." Wang Yuqun was helpless, how could he be so confused at that time, and he showed a nonchalant look in front of His Majesty.

Baghyalu nodded and said with a smile: "It is said that the garrison commander of a state is only the rank of deputy general or general soldier, but considering that Shaanxi and Gansu Prefecture are actually three states, His Majesty still restored your rank of admiral, and you are still a commander." When they are defeated, you will immediately pick out the ordinary militia brigades and militia elite brigades that have fought in battles, and put all the garrison brigades transferred into this state in order.

The principle of distribution is that Shaanxi Prefecture, three garrison brigades, one garrison brigade in Ningxia Prefecture, three garrison brigades in Gansu Prefecture, one cavalry brigade and one garrison brigade directly under the headquarters of your garrison army, of which two cavalry garrison brigades in Gansu Prefecture and one infantry garrison brigade, at the same time an elite militia brigade in Gansu Prefecture is responsible for transportation and local security, a cavalry ordinary militia brigade in Ningxia Prefecture, a cavalry garrison brigade in Shaanxi Prefecture, two infantry garrison brigades, and at the same time equipped with a militia elite brigade to maintain law and order. There is an ordinary militia brigade in your headquarters that is responsible for transporting supplies, and at the same time, the second brigade of the punishment battalion is also under your control, responsible for guarding these prisoners and repairing the roads in Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture, and their deployment is under the control of the government, but the combat is under your control."

Wang Yuqun was taken aback, with so many brigades and so many troops, can he manage it himself?

This is more than the strength of the Baghyalu and Merlinyu Corps, and this is the rhythm of handing over the war in the entire Shaanxi and Gansu Prefectures to himself.

Baghyalu saw his doubts and said with a smile: "That's right, after clearing out the Suo Etu Department and forcing out the Wu Sangui Department, my corps will all be transferred back to Jinling Mansion for reorganization and rest within three months, for half a year or a year." Within this year, Shaanxi and Gansu Prefecture will be handed over to you. Yang Yangyang will serve as the garrison here, and at the same time serve as the deputy commander of your garrison, assisting you in managing these troops. He had already arrived at Weinan Mansion and had been there all along. ”
