Chapter 119 Guizhou is in hand

After attacking Lao Chongguang for three days in a row, there was no progress, and the light injuries reached 8,000 people, only then did it be discovered that Anping County (Pingba), which was originally crumbling, was a big quagmire. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The cannon of the new bandits has not appeared, I am afraid that there is another conspiracy." Lao Chongguang mentioned to his subordinates with anxiety, and one of them comforted: "Your Excellency, it will not be because of the road, it will take time for the new bandits to run the artillery."

How big and how heavy the cannon of the New People's Army is, these officials who do not distinguish between grains and grains do not know, and can only understand and calculate according to the old copper and iron cannon of the Qing Army, which may weigh tens of thousands of catties in rough calculation.

"If that's the case, it should be about the same from Anshun Mansion to Anping County." Lao Chongguang thought about the pros and cons for a while, and his heart became even more uneasy, and finally he gritted his teeth before giving the order: "Order to stop the attack and withdraw to Guiyang at night." ”

As soon as the order was given, someone soon sent the battle report of Qianbei, and after reading it, Lao Chongguang vomited blood, and his face was extremely pale: "Shuangfeng died in battle, Bijie fell, Loushan Pass was lost, and Admiral Zhao Dechang abandoned Zunyi. ”

Li Xiongxiong of Anping County saw that the Qing army was no longer attacking, and waved his hand and ordered: "Come on, continue to scold him and his grandson." ”

The soldiers below all laughed, others were eight and had to ask the enemy to attack, but our brigade commander was good, hated that others could not attack, and every time he saw the Qing army stop, he made people swear.

But this time, they were disappointed, and the ruthless Qianyong ignored them.

"Brigadier Commander, something is wrong! You see that the Qing army has begun to clean up the camp, they don't want to withdraw their troops, right? ”

The experienced officer said: "It's a bit strange, could it be a trick to lure the enemy." ”

Everyone stared at Li Xiongxiong's eager and excited faces, and nodded knowingly to each other, they knew the brigade commander's personality too well, and they must have wanted to pursue.

After sweeping everyone, Li Xiongxiong snorted coldly: "What, do I look so much like someone who will be tricked?" ”

Everyone is silent, silence is golden, and default is also.

If you hadn't believed Zhang Si's words back then, how could four or five hundred people be made dumplings and almost killed by the Qing army, but fortunately, they met the big handsome.

"Whoever loses his nut, I'll be tricked." Li Xiongxiong pulled out his knife and slashed at the wall: "Pursue and attack, capture Lao Chongguang alive." ”

The 7th Regiment opened the city gate and chased along the official road, the Qing army saw that the flag was thrown and ran around, the 7th Regiment took the opportunity to cover up and kill, the rear of the Qing army was quickly defeated, and Li Xiongxiong led people to chase most of the Qing army in front.

After chasing ten miles, suddenly shouting and killing from all sides suddenly stopped, and the Qing army that had fled turned back and counterattacked.

The 7th Regiment was surrounded by regiments.

"Brigade commander, it's not good that we've been fooled."

"Call a machine, you guys were fooled." Li Xiongxiong glared at him, and fearlessly swept the Qing army around him and corrected.

“――――”

"Haha. I said what kind of character the leader of the new bandits was, and he was even hit by the old man's snake dispatch. After receiving the report of the defeat in Qianbei and spitting out a mouthful of blood, Lao Chongguang suddenly had a bright brain, and he could finally determine the purpose of the New People's Army to show weakness and defend the city.

That's right, he dragged his troops and waited for the change in the battle situation in northern Qianbei, so he simply came to such a first plan, and Guan Gong dragged his knife to kill Cai Yang.

He knew that as soon as he retreated, the New People's Army would definitely be able to guess the changes in the battle situation in northern Qianbei, and he would naturally be fooled.

It is inevitable to lose Qianbei, anyway, it is not the first time to lose Zunyi and other places, it is a big deal to take it back in the future, as long as Yang Dongfang can besiege and kill the New People's Army this time, the new bandits will disintegrate and divide, and they will also be a great achievement.

Lao Chongguang didn't know that Li Xiongxiong was just carrying Yang Dongfang's banner to guard Anping County, but in fact, Yang Dongfang set up a recruitment security regiment and an engineer regiment in the rear.

"No matter how good you are, you have to drink my Li San's footwashing water." Looking at the Qing army surrounded on all sides, densely packed with 20,000 people, Li Xiongxiong did not panic, on the contrary, he looked excited, brandished a big knife and shouted: "Come on!" Give me the 2nd Battalion of Guards, and let Lao Chongguang taste what a rifle is.

Lao Chongguang was originally proud, watching his army continue to attack and compress the 2,000 or so people of the New People's Army, and the headquarters had the upper hand, believing that it would not take half a day to eat this bandit.

As a result, there was a sudden movement in front, and the soldiers on this side retreated.

"My lord, it's not good, the new bandits appeared with extremely fierce muskets, and they took people's lives between five or six hundred steps, and our army's siege was frustrated and suffered heavy losses."

Lao Chongguang's heart was shocked, and he saw that the army in front of him had retreated a few hundred meters, marking that the banner of the commander of the New People's Army was moving to this side.

"My lord, it's not good, the new bandits are sharp-armed with muskets, no one in our army dares to enter, there are countless casualties in all departments, and the main force of the new bandits is attacking this side."

"How so!"

What about the siege on all sides, the ambush on all sides?

How did it suddenly become an enemy attack.

Unwilling! It's hard to lure such a big fish, so let's just let it go.

"Order all units to abandon the attack, resolutely resist the counterattack of the New People's Army, build a defensive position, and trap him to death. Whose subordinates take half a step back and kill without mercy, and destroy his nine clans. After giving the order, seeing that the situation had improved slightly, Lao Chongguang had another idea: "Lao Nuo, you go and bring 5,000 men and horses, kill me back to Anping County, and capture this city." ”

"Your Excellency the Governor is wise!"

As soon as he heard Lao Chongguang's order, the general soldiers, deputy generals, and staff generals below all had their eyes lit up and flattered.

"Brigade commander, look, the Qing army has sent a team of people to Anping County, which is terrible."

"Lose his old motherland, I didn't expect Lao Chongguang to be quite smart."

Everyone rolled their eyes, big brother, Lao Chongguang is a scholar, and if he has passed the college entrance examination, he will sit on the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou! One of the nine feudal officials, there is no way to mix it up.

"However, I will tell him, I'm afraid that the marshal has already entered Anping County at this time?" Li Xiongxiong is not a stupid person, it was after receiving the news that Tao Sanchun had arrived in Anshun and Yang Dongfang had left the city to support Anping County, so he resolutely chased him out of the city.

So no matter whether Lao Chongguang really runs or fakes, he must pursue, otherwise he will be a big fool.

Soon the 5,000 Qing army returned to Anping County with great hardship, thinking that the county seat was empty, and pretending to persuade them to surrender a sentence or two, and then attack the city.

But then they regretted it, and this time they were greeted not with ordinary flintlock lead bullets, but with real bullets.

And it's very dense and very fast.

"Bumper bumper..."

"Ahhh

The attack lasted only five minutes, and the screams continued, and the city walls did not touch more than 1,000 dead and wounded, and blood flowed all over the ground, making people feel cold.

What made them even more painful was that next, dozens of shells flew through the sky from the city and into their military formations.

"Boom, boom, boom.!"

The unprepared Qing army stayed together intensively, and was soon blown up on their backs, with four or five hundred casualties to the ground, and the rest fled into the wilderness, scattering as birds and beasts.

"Open the door, get out of town, attack!"

The expected effect, there was no complacency, Yang Dongfang asked the guard regiment to immediately pursue the router.

Soon the guard regiment chased to the place where the 7th regiment was besieged, and immediately arranged troops to arrange and attack sharply, and the Qing army that originally besieged the 7th regiment saw the new national army coming to help, and suddenly panicked, especially after being defeated at one time, encountering more devil spearmen, all of them were scattered at once, and no one was listening to the orders of the officers above.

"Damn! Remove! Lao Chongguang saw that his encirclement was torn apart in an instant, and even saw that there were more muskets in the New People's Army, so he was so frightened that he couldn't care about anything, so he immediately turned his horse's head and ran in the direction of Guiyang.

"Chase me, you can't let go of Lao Chongguang." The 7th Regiment was not unable to tear open the encirclement of the Qing army before, but was waiting for the guard regiment, so it took the opportunity to rest and accumulate physical strength, and now when it saw the Qing army turn around, it ran away, and pursued immediately.

It wasn't until he chased fifteen miles that he intercepted Lao Chongguang and captured the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou alive, blocked the road to Guiyang, and captured tens of thousands of Qing troops at the same time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Dongfang asked Li Xiongxiong to escort Lao Chongguang to Guiyang, and the two sides staged a chase scene.

On the night of the year when the New People's Army took over Guiyang, a force rushed from the north.

"Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! ”

"Who are you, report your name."

"I am Admiral Zhao's guerrilla general Chi Biao, my family is behind me, hurry up and open the door, the new bandit Liu Yongfu is about to chase after me."

"Okay, you wait a minute, I'll inform the Governor!"

The person who replied answered, turned to his hand, and said, "Go!" Inform the brigade commander and the marshal that it was Zhao Dechang, the puppet governor of Guizhou in the Qing Dynasty, who had fled south, and it seemed that the 4th and 6th divisions had already come over, and now they could catch a big fish. ”

Soon Yang Dongfang and Li Xiongxiong came to the north gate, and brought most of them over, arranged an ambush on both sides of the street, and soon Zhao Dechang, the governor of Guizhou in the Qing Dynasty, also arrived at the city with the remnants.

Yang Dongfang ordered someone to open the door and let him in, and when the Qing army was halfway in, Zhao Dechang reacted and shouted loudly: "What about the governor?" Why don't you see Brother Xinjie. ”

"The Governor is injured, and is..."

"It's not good, it's a new bandit!" Zhao Dechang was quite vigilant, and his ability to lead the troops was also strong, looking at the momentum of the soldiers at the head of the city, Lao Chongguang's subordinates were not so elite, and when he realized something, he turned his horse's head and ran away.

"Bump!"

A gunshot rang out on the wall, and Zhao Dechang, who had not walked more than ten meters, fell off the horse, only the panicked horse rushed into the vast night in the distance.

At the same time, the New People's Army opened fire one after another, and most of the 2,000 Qing troops were wiped out in an instant, without any preparation.

At dawn the next day, another unit appeared outside the north gate, a mixed army, the vanguard of the 4th and 6th divisions.

Yang Dongfang personally went out of the city to meet him, and so far the three armies converged in Guiyang, which lasted 12 days, and Guizhou basically fell into the hands of the New People's Army.
