Chen Yucheng nodded and said, "What my brother said is true!" These White Horse Club bandits are all animals, and they are not worthy of being human beings. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 However, if we kill it directly, I am afraid that it will make those White Horse Guild bandits in Xijing City more stubborn, and it will not be conducive to our early capture of Xijing. These animals also have the value of livestock, so let them serve as war servants, charge in front and attack the city, and I ask the captive army to press the rear and then attack, how about it? ”

Lin Qirong didn't expect Chen Yucheng to make such a plan, which was a bit shameless and cruel, but when he thought of so many towns and villages along the way, countless people died tragically at the hands of these animals, he hardened his heart.

He thought of the secret order from the General Staff.

Two or three months ago, the General Staff Headquarters set up a battle plan and ordered the 3rd and 3rd Divisions B and 3rd Divisions to attack the Shaanxi and Gansu areas nearby.

Not long after they set off, news came that it turned out to be a rebellion in the area of Xi'an Prefecture in Shaanxi. At that time, Lin Qirong still felt that the General Staff Headquarters was making a fuss, thinking that it was a great thing that some local people held an anti-Qing uprising, and when they revolted and fought with the Manchu government, the captive army would kill them in one fell swoop, and naturally the Manchu Qing would be defeated, and the people who revolted also surrendered to the captive army, and they were all happy.

Unexpectedly, what happened next made him a little stunned: since he entered the Tongzhou Mansion in Shaanxi, he kept seeing bandits wearing white hats, burning and looting all the way, and he was indignant, so he ordered the soldiers of the 3rd Division to capture them. But after arriving in Huayin and Huazhou, which are close to Xi'an Prefecture, there are more and more things that make him indignant, and countless villagers and ordinary people are killed everywhere by this group of rebels called the White Horse Club. Once, Lin Qirong and his family passed through a large village, which was razed to the ground, and the houses were all burned down, and there was silence all around, except for dozens of eagles circling and flying, as if they were eating.

He sent someone to investigate, only to find that the entire village, more than 2,000 people, all died tragically, even the corpses were chopped up, pecked by eagles, the scene was extremely tragic, so that even he had seen countless war scenes, he was a little unbearable. Through the search, it was found that only an old woman and a seven-year-old child were left in the cellar in the whole village and escaped, and the rest of the people, whether they were young and strong, women and children, were all killed. The old woman with bloodshot eyes told Lin Qirong that it was a group of White Horse Club bandits wearing white hats who killed all of their village, saying that they were not worthy of living in this world.

Lin Qirong was angry, there are still such madmen, don't they have the surname Ma, not the surname Bai, and if they are not the people of the White Horse Club, they all have to die?

Next, as we continued to go west, from Huazhou to Weinan, in just a few dozen miles, the Weishui Basin in Guanzhong, which was originally densely populated and densely populated, did not find many living people, but a lot of fireworks were released, and some villages were still burning. There was silence everywhere, and the corpses of the villagers who had been killed everywhere were nothing short of a massacre.

At this time, an urgent secret order sent by the General Staff required them to immediately carry out a devastating attack on the White Horse Bandits, and they must completely annihilate the White Horse Bandits who caused trouble, leaving no one alive, so as not to let the White Horse Bandits escape and cause more White Horse Bandits to revolt.

As a result, the 3rd Division A and the 3rd Division B will travel day and night and quickly rush to Xi'an, and then 30,000 reinforcements from the Henan New Corps will also arrive one after another. Along the way, the captives killed nearly 100,000 White Horse Club bandits, and basically did not take prisoners. Therefore, Lin Qirong will have such a saying.

However, Chen Yucheng was the chief general of this operation after all, and Lin Qirong still listened to his opinion and agreed to implement the plan of the remaining 30,000 white bandit troops to act as cannon fodder.

On the same day, the captives attacked.

Bai Shengyan wanted to cry without tears and led more than 30,000 surrendered White Horse Congregation, rushed to the front, and attacked the Xi'an City Tower in the most stupid way of rushing to the city with countless cloud ladders and carrying soil to fill the city.

The White Horse Congregation on the city tower ignored Bai Yanhu's order, didn't want to hurt the compatriots under the city, and directly opened the city gate, wanting to put the 30,000 White Horse Congregations outside the city into the city, but, how could the captive army be so stupid? They had already arranged that in the second half of the White Horse congregation, one or two percent of the White Horse congregation were all begging for captives, and at the moment they rushed into the city gate, they removed the white hat on their heads, held a sharp knife in one hand, and took out the revolver hidden in their arms in the other, and seized the city gate.

The large army of the captives outside the city, under the impact of thousands of horsemen, quickly rushed into the city and captured the other city gates. As more and more captive troops invaded the city, the entire city of Xi'an began to fight fiercely.

Although the White Horse Congregation had a large number of people, but the lack of weapons, if it were not for the occupation of Xi'an City, I am afraid that most of the White Horse soldiers still used bamboo poles as weapons, even if they occupied Xi'an, but the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Zarafin, burned down the arsenal before fleeing Xi'an City, so there were not many weapons left, and the White Horse Congregation only seized some swords and spears and scattered shotguns of the Qing soldiers who died in battle.

The best weapon for the White Horse congregation is the spear.

In the city of Xi'an, fierce street battles broke out between the two sides. It is said to be intense, but in fact it is one-sided fierce and tragic. The white-horse soldiers rushed to the begging army with shouting, and before they could get closer, they were gathered by rows of muskets, fell in rows, and were sent to death in vain.

Moreover, the White Horse congregation was completely chaotic and disorganized. As soon as Bai Yanhu was instigated, he bravely rushed over, and was continuously fired by tens of thousands of muskets, and after tens of thousands of casualties, the soldiers of the White Horse Society, who were desperate and frightened, retreated.

After repeating it several times, Bai Yanhu was horrified to find that more than half of his own side had been killed and injured, while the other party had only killed or injured more than 1,000 people, which was caused by the other party's rash rush to kill and was ambushed by them.

At this point, Bai Yanhu began to despair. It was a completely one-sided massacre. The whole battle lasted for two days, and by the time the frenzied killing brought everyone back to calm, no one wanted to pay attention to Bai Yanhu.

At this time, the White Horse Congregation remembered the words of Ma Mingtang, who was killed by Bai Yanhu, and Bai Shengyan had disappeared and most of them died in battle, so they tied up Bai Yanhu, who still insisted on fighting, and surrounded Bai Yanlong as the leader, and asked him to lead them to escape from Xi'an City.

Bai Yanlong took pity on his younger brother, he released Bai Yanhu and ordered him to lead more than 50,000 people to flee from the west of the city, while he led the remaining 20,000 or 30,000 white horse soldiers to meet the captive army, wanting to drag the captive army and let Bai Yanhu and them escape smoothly.

Unexpectedly, just as the White Horse Congregation followed Bai Yanhu out of Xi'an City, the vanguard troops had not been out of the city for less than a mile, but they suddenly found that there were already two forces of at least 20,000 or 30,000 captives in the west of the city, surrounding the entire west of the city.

In a hurry, Bai Yanhu ordered the 2,000 cavalry leaders who were the vanguard troops, and the tens of thousands of white horse infantry behind them rushed to beg for the captive army, but they were like meat buns beating dogs, and they never returned. Only then did he recall what Ma Mingtang had said about the capture army as a demon, and he also understood why the extremely powerful Manchu Eight Banners were suddenly defeated by the capture army. It's just that, at this time, it's too late.

Subsequently, there were fewer and fewer white horse soldiers in Xi'an City, and the entire Xi'an City was like a hell on earth, with corpses killed in battle everywhere.

Bai Yanhu had lost contact with Bai Yanlong, and he was clever when he knew that something was wrong, and he immediately sent people to shout to surrender, claiming that he was willing to surrender to the captive army, and to be the vanguard of the captive army, attacking other White Horse congregations in Gansu. Of course, when he gets through this difficulty, of course he will rebel again, but just surrender a little.

Unexpectedly, the generals of the captive army agreed, but asked the White Horse congregation to stop running away and resisting, and they all went to the Dajiao field in the west of Xi'an to accept the prisoners.

Although Bai Yanhu was young, he had lived in Beijing for many years, and knew that these beleaguers, like other Chinese people, had always been known for their kindness and never killed prisoners. He was also worried, but now there is no way to escape, so he can only gamble.

So, he led the remaining 80,000 white horse soldiers in the entire Xi'an city to throw their weapons and enter the large school field in the west of the city, which was crowded, and deliberately opened up the side. A day later, the hungry and unattended white horse soldiers couldn't help it, Bai Yanhu also knew that the situation was not good, and in desperation, he led the crowd to leave the school field, ready to find food, at this time, suddenly found that they were surrounded by death in the west of the city, and the surrounding city walls and the ground were stationed with black and oppressive soldiers of the captive army, murderously holding foreign guns, seeing them rushing forward, it was a burst of fierce fire.

This is clearly to kill them all. Bai Yanhu realized that he was still too naïve, and if he could regret it in life, he would rather listen to his brother and flee to the frontier. It's a pity that life can't be repeated. Bai Yanhu, like the other white horse soldiers, was so hungry that he was strangled, and was strangled by the premeditated and carefully prepared captive army. Moreover, the captives were not in a hurry to attack, but only fired at those who wanted to rush out, due to the terrain restrictions, the white horse soldiers could not attack at the same time, and even if they could attack at the same time, what could they do, bare-handed, they could still deal with the muskets with fierce firepower?

However, even such a one-sided massacre took two days to be completely slaughtered. The white-horse soldiers of Xi'an City were wiped out.

As for the other more than 100,000 women, children and elderly people in the White Horse Club in the city, the captive army did not feel embarrassed anymore, but only ordered the Henan New Corps to send a huge team of 5,000 people to disperse these people, bring dry food, and prepare to escort them overseas to Qiongzhou Island and Taiwan Prefecture in batches to open up wasteland. In particular, Taiwan has a population of only 2 million, and it is particularly suitable for rice cultivation, and it also requires a lot of labor to open up wasteland for farming.
