Chapter 222: The Dilemma of Jingxi (8) -- Desperate Survival

When the morning dawns, the sun rises. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe gorgeous morning glow should have dyed half the sky. But because of the thick clouds, it was firmly blocked out of the clouds. The sky also brightened relatively late, which made it regrettable to miss the beautiful scenery.

Jingxi City under the clouds also shrank into a blurry black shadow, like a sleeping giant beast. In the hazy light, there was an intermittent noise. Like the regular snoring of a giant beast, the clouds were shaken.

The faint but not dispersed, the smoke that appeared from time to time, also leisurely escaped out of Jingxi City, towards the untouchable sky, and moved closer. It's like the exhaust gas exhaled by a giant beast. Just a little farther away, it is transparent and becomes one with heaven and earth.

And in the middle of the black shadow, the heart of the giant beast, in the palace of Jingxi City. Countless volunteers and volunteers were busy coming in and out, packing up their tents and sorting out their luggage. A simple stretcher made of wooden planks lifted wounded soldiers or sick volunteers and hurried out of the city.

This busy scene made Xu Lan, who was for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, feel a burst of emotion. sighed: "Captain Wang, it's good that you came in time last night!" ”。

Speaking of which, last night's situation was really dangerous!

At that time, as long as Wang Kai came a quarter of an hour late, the righteous army would not be able to avoid the situation of no return. Because the rebel army was inferior to the Qing army in terms of weapons and the personal qualities of the soldiers. Facing each other head-on, there is no other way than to fill it with human life.

This can be reflected in the previous series of encounters. Therefore, the rebel army blocked the Qing army without terrain advantages, and suffered very heavy casualties. Judging by the current statistics alone, more than 5,600 people died, and this is only the rebel army. There were also innocent civilians, as many as 6,000 people. There were also wounded rebels and civilians, nearly 20,000.

Although later, with the help of the volunteers, the Qing army also suffered many casualties. But on the whole, the Miao rebel army suffered greater losses, because it was basically disabled.

Wang Kai, who was directing the withdrawal of the army, heard the voice and immediately turned around. Seeing that it was Xu Lan, he said with a somewhat restrained face: "It's all because it's too late, which worries Director Xu." ”。 In Daming, as long as it is a person from the Intelligence Department, it will be treated by others with their hearts. It is also the prestige of the Intelligence Department that makes people instinctively dare not fight evil.

Of course, this is only the intelligence officers who are exposed. In general, no one knows who is in the Intelligence Division. This time, Wang Kai was allowed to know Xu Lan's identity because of his mission. Otherwise, he just wanted to break his head, and he couldn't figure out who Xu Lan was.

So in front of Xu Lan, his posture was very low.

Listening to Xu Lan's words at this moment, he couldn't help but recall the scene last night, and his heart couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.

I remember that at that time, he marched with the volunteers in the rain and hurried to the outside of Jingxi City. In the distance, I heard the shouts of killing in the city, and the battle was fierce. Fortunately, there were very few Qing troops left behind at the head of the city, and the city gate was also wide open. So that they did not have much effort, let the city gate change hands, and rushed into the city.

Then, when 100,000 were in a hurry, they suddenly attacked the Qing army from behind. All of a sudden, the Qing army was stunned. Because He Lin didn't expect that the rebels would have helpers, and there were quite a few of them, and the weapons were not bad. When it started a war, it did not lose the Qing army at all.

This performance is definitely a veteran ruffian who has been in the army for some years. Otherwise, there can be no such combat power!

As a result, the Qing army was completely unable to stop the advance of the volunteer army, and was beaten so that it could not find the north. In particular, in the Volunteer Army, there was a musket unit of about 2,000 people. As soon as they got on the field, the banging gunfire rang out non-stop.

It is like a miracle in the world, and the life of the Qing army is harvested through the air. This kind of fighting has never been seen by the Qing army, so it became the last straw that crushed them.

Seeing this, the Qing army general and Lin immediately asked their subordinates to retreat. But he didn't want to, because he ran too quickly and had no effective command, so he turned from retreat to collapse and collapse, and further evolved into a rout and flight on the whole front.

In fact, if it is in broad daylight, it is facing each other. The Qing army was not so embarrassed. But this black light was blinding, and it was a surprise attack, which put too much psychological pressure on the Qing army. And the 40,000 volunteers together, and the strength of the Qing army, is not much different.

That's why the Qing army turned from victory to defeat, and Miao Min survived.

Thinking about it, he got goosebumps all over his body.

However, Xu Lan looked much more relieved, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It is not easy for Captain Wang to rescue thousands of miles. Now that the crisis is solved, don't be too concerned. ”。 He helped command the army and evacuated Jingxi as soon as possible.

After all, there were many Qing troops who escaped, like the general and Lin, who were one of them. And Na Funing, his body was not found either. It's hard to say that they won't bring in rescuers. Because no matter what you say, this is the territory of the Qing army. They came from afar, fought away, and there was no logistical supplement.

Wang Kai also knew that time was of the essence, so he hurriedly urged the volunteers to speed up and evacuate as soon as possible.

By the time the sky dawned, the hustle and bustle of Jingxi City had already disappeared. Whether it was the Miao people who went south or the people of the original Jingxi City, they were all taken away by Xu Lan and them.

In this way, two days passed, and the quiet Jingxi became noisy again. However, it was the general He Lin and Funing, and a large number of Qing troops came to Jingxi.

When they saw the empty city with no people, the two were both annoyed, dignified, and even faintly relieved. That expression is also extremely complicated.

But no matter what they thought, Miao Min had left the Qingyue border under the leadership of the volunteers. Later, the battle situation here was transmitted to the Qing Jingshi, but the content was slightly modified. It is said that the rebel army was under the blow of the Qing army's tiger and wolf division, and knew that there was no hope of escape. The unrepentant ignited the fire *** and burned Jingxi City to ashes.

As a result, there is no half-alive mouth.

This is the result of the discussion between Fulin and Ho Lin, one is to fight for merit, and the other is to escape the unfavorable punishment of counterinsurgency. For this reason, the ruined Jingxi City was also burned to the ground and the evidence was destroyed.

And they also heard that the rebels had left the border, and they sent people to investigate. After learning that the rebels went all the way south and did not return. Only then did I rest assured that I would present the folds.

Just when they are complacent about their clever deeds. To the south of the Qing Kingdom, the Malay Peninsula, Johor Bahru Town, Johor Bahru, is also full of joy. Many of the chief executives of the Ming Dynasty stationed in Nanyang gathered at the wharf and looked at the white-painted steamship not far away with a happy face, slowly landing on the shore. It was the 'Governor' private steamboat, which was the car of Nanfeng, the former governor of Nanyang and now the head of Nanyang's overseas consulate.

Although the hull of the ship was still shallow from the land, the people on the shore and the people on board were already cheering and waving to each other. (To be continued.) )
