Chapter 144: Changing Heavens (5)

"The 'Short-Haired Thief' is coming, everyone run. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" shouted the Qing army in a certain city.

"Cut, what to run, Lao Tzu has never done anything wrong, the Han army will not do anything to Lao Tzu." Qing Junyi looked at Qing Junjia's back and said disdainfully.

It didn't take long for a battalion of Han troops to come to the city, the Qing army that did not flee in the city surrendered, the Han army entered the city and went around, and after not finding a special situation, they left the city and continued to run to the next city, and the follow-up police force also arrived in the city to maintain law and order in the city.

On the first day, the Han army marched into Manchu-ruled territory and broke the blockade of 600,000 miscellaneous troops and six towns of the Beiyang Army, and the news spread quickly with a small number of Qing deserters.

As soon as the residents in the city behind the blockade line heard that the Qing army in front of them had been defeated, many people quickly packed up their salutes and prepared to flee far away, for no other reason.

The "short-haired thief" loves the people like a son, but he must severely punish those who do evil, so those who have done all the bad things in the city immediately choose to run away, and they can't wait for the "short-haired thief" to come, and then they will only have a dead end.

600,000 troops plus six towns of the Beiyang Army can not resist the "short-haired thieves", the Qing army behind the defensive line of the city, whenever they encounter the Han army, immediately surrender, even if some of the city Manchu officials have the heart to resist, but unfortunately the hands of the officers and soldiers are less than 100 people, and the people under the rule are unwilling to help, in desperation, those officials loyal to the Manchu Qing can only abandon the city and flee, delusionally hoping that the Manchu Qing will be able to defeat the "short-haired thief" in the future.

At noon on the 17th, a large number of Qing troops were completely wiped out, and all units of the Han army quickly marched to various cities with regiments and battalions as units, and they wanted to sweep away the remnants of the Qing army as quickly as possible, and if they encountered bandits or something, they would also be eliminated by the way.

Wherever the Han army went, the Qing army fled in desperation, and the resistance was almost none, and the Han army successfully took the cities, and the common people in the city welcomed the Han army into the city with all kinds of food in their hands.

Of course, this situation will only happen in places that are relatively close to Siqi, and if it is far away from Siqi, it will be another matter.

The Han army in front is attacking the city, and the Han kingdom in the rear is also busy, and all kinds of materials are transported to the border area of Siqi by train, and then loaded on oxen and horse carts, and constantly sent to the Han army that is advancing rapidly.

Especially the Blue Dragon Legion that went deep into the wasteland and the sea, but it was really difficult to supply to the sea, and everything could only be transported from the rear.

Moreover, at the border between Siqi and the sea, there are already two teams of 10,000 coolies who are building roads in the direction of Qinghai, a cement road and a railway.

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed, and the Han army, which had penetrated deep into the interior of the provinces, finally encountered a little decent resistance, for the Suzaku Legion and the White Tiger Legion, this resistance was too weak, and there was no need for 105mm howitzers to come out, but the 75mm field guns came out with a salvo, and the Qing army on the opposite side was almost about to collapse, and these ragtag armies that had been gathered together were broken up again.

The Blue Dragon Legion, which went deep into the sea, and the Xuanwu Legion, which went deep into Yunan, were met with slightly stronger resistance.

When the forward cavalry regiment of the Blue Dragon Legion stepped into a meadow, thousands of Mongolian cavalry in front rushed up, and when they looked closely, the Mongolian cavalry had already taken out their bows and arrows.

However, this was useless, the forward cavalry regiment stopped, picked up the rifle in his hand, and faced the Mongolian cavalry that rushed up, you must know that the effective range of the Han rifle reached 800 meters, while the Mongolian cavalry bow and arrow had a maximum range of only 200 meters.

The Mongolian cavalry that rushed up in a dense formation fell down one by one under the guns of the Han army, and in less than a minute, although the Mongolian cavalry rushed to within six hundred meters of the Han army, nearly a thousand Mongolian cavalry had already fallen on the battlefield.

The next moment, the leader of the Mongolian cavalry in the enemy group, who was obviously disguised, was even more knocked down by the marksman in the cavalry regiment.

The remaining Mongol cavalry saw that it was not good, and quickly turned their horses and wanted to retreat, but in the process of turning and fleeing, another five or six hundred fell on the battlefield, while the forward cavalry regiment of the Blue Dragon Legion did not suffer any casualties.

Looking at the retreating figure of the Mongolian cavalry with less than 700 remnants, Xu Le, the commander of the forward cavalry regiment, did not order the pursuit, although he was also a cavalry and was equipped with advanced firearms, but the enemy's riding skills were more exquisite and he was familiar with the terrain.

Seeing the enemy go away, Xu Le quickly ordered to clean up the battlefield, knowing that these war horses are good things.

This was the first time that the Mongol cavalry had tried to attack the Blue Dragon Legion, but it was definitely not the last.

But for the Blue Dragon Legion, no matter how many times such an attack comes, the Blue Dragon Legion will not be afraid, but will be grateful to them for sending so many war horses.

Yunan, a suburb of Kunming

The 4th Division, the main force of the Xuanwu Legion, met the Black Flag Army, which should have been disbanded long ago in history.

Liu Yongfu's Black Flag Army had strong morale, and under the fierce artillery bombardment of the Fourth Division Artillery Regiment, it was not defeated or retreated, you must know that the Fourth Division Artillery Regiment was equipped with 36 105-mm howitzers, which were several times more powerful than the 75-mm field guns, and the Black Flag Army was able to hold out without a rout.

Sun Ran, the commander of the Xuanwu Legion, was also deeply touched, along the way the Qing army fled, this was the first Qing army that dared to confront the Han army head-on, although the Black Flag Army suffered heavy casualties under the artillery fire of the Fourth Division, but the Black Flag Army that could not be defeated can be called a strong army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

It's a pity that no matter how strong the Black Flag Army is, its weaponry and tactics are too far behind the Han Army.

The Black Flag Army did not have advanced rifles and artillery, so it could only be beaten passively, and the Black Flag Army knew that it was using fortifications to block the Han army, but the fortifications were too fragile and all collapsed under the bombardment of the Han army's artillery fire.

"General withdraw, if you don't withdraw, our Black Flag Army's family will be wiped out." Liu Yongfu's subordinates said to Liu Yongfu with a crying voice.

Liu Yongfu sighed, didn't reply, fought with the French, the Black Flag Army fled, and now he fights with the "short-haired thief", and if he escapes again, where can he flee to?

The artillery fire of the Han army has not stopped, and a regiment of the Fourth Division has already groped its way to the position of the Black Flag Army.

The next moment, the artillery fire of the Han army suddenly stopped, and the Han soldiers, who were already very close to the position of the Black Flag Army, took advantage of the fact that the Black Flag Army did not react and rushed forward.

"Expelle the Tartars and restore my Han family's rivers and mountains!"

"Those who surrender on their knees will not be killed!"

The Han army officer with a revolver took the lead, and when he saw the Black Flag Army rushing over with a big knife, he directly killed him with a pistol.

However, in the contact battle, the Han army could not avoid casualties, and in the end, the Han army finally annihilated the Black Flag Army at the cost of nearly 100 casualties, and Liu Yongfu, the commander of the Black Flag Army, was killed in battle.
