Chapter 170: Taohe's counterattack

The battle of Guanghe, with the counter-assault of Huaxia Tian**, ended the Huang Liang delusion of the Hui army to attack the city, and also caused it to be completely defeated under the fierce blow.

The Hui army was able to gather to resist at first, but the infantry of the Huaxia Army, with nearly 300 people, advanced extremely fast, and every time they took a step forward, they had to kill and wound a large number of the surrounding Hui troops, and the wave of their charge far exceeded that of the Hui army.

The Hui army scattered and fled, the Huaxia army chased after them, and the Hui army who could not escape either resisted to the death, was bombed and killed, or simply committed suicide.

Many wounded soldiers who could not escape chose to commit suicide, and some could not afford to commit suicide, so they could only cry and beg for help from their peers.

In this case, once there were Huaxia soldiers around, they could still fight hard and never surrender, and many even threw their knives, and then, biting their tongues, committed suicide.

The battle was extremely tragic, and it also inspired the will to fight of the soldiers on both sides, savage ferocity, but seeing the battlefield, the corpses were criss-crossed, and blood flowed everywhere,

After the battle, Huaxia Tian** found more than 6,300 complete enemy corpses and more than 3,000 incomplete corpses outside Guanghe Town, and also captured more than 400 wounded soldiers, most of whom were stunned by artillery and bombs.

The Hui army lost 10,000 people, and at the same time lost more than 300 military horses.

Huaxia Tian** sacrificed 10 special combat soldiers, 47 infantry regiment soldiers, 22 Han militiamen, and 81 wounded.

The commander of the front-line campaign of the returning army was killed, and it was no longer possible to find his man, and the total strength of the infantry was lost eighty percent, and the cavalry lost little, one-tenth,

When the news reached Lanzhou, Luo Yang and Luo Bingzhang were overjoyed, and at the same time immediately dispatched another battalion of troops to escort the arms to rush to reinforcements, and then, ordered the troops, with Hezhou as the center, to carry out a centripetal assault, to encircle in several ways, and completely exterminate Ma Zhanao.

Hezhou, the base camp of the Hui army in Gansu, Ma Zhanao received a report from the cavalry, and immediately gasped.

"Come, go and call the imams at once, and we will assemble."

In the gloomy meeting, Ma Zhanao's blood-red eyes flashed with perseverance: "Yes, in the battle of Guanghe Town, we suffered heavy losses, but I have figured it out, it is definitely not Ma Hualong's soldiers, but the so-called Huaxia Tian**." ”

Everyone exclaimed, and they were all surprised,

Ma Zhanao said sadly and angrily: "Only Huaxia Tian** can have such fierce artillery fire, and there is the kind of bomb that any soldier can carry, our cavalry ran back, and as soon as they said it, I understood." ”

The leaders were immediately filled with righteous indignation, shouting for a duel with Huaxia Tian**, "Fight with them." ”

"Yes, it will not be tolerated."

"We must take revenge, and for every man we die, we will kill five, ten, and a hundred."

Ma Zhanao waved his hand, impatiently stopped the senseless shouting, and his eyes showed a fierce light: "Of course we have to fight, otherwise, we will die without a place to bury, and I dare to conclude that Ma Hualong in Ningxia has been taken down by them." ”

"Ahh

The strong judgment ability made Ma Zhanao bite his lip and spend time in the room thinking about the overall situation, and after a while, he settled down, his eyes were deep and cold: "Hmph, you made a game and got Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is not so easy to bully." ”

Tao River, a tributary of the Yellow River with a big hook, traverses the southern part of Gansu, isolating the river between Hezhou and Lanzhou, crossing the river Huaxia Tian ** Tao Maolin troops, found that there are many Hui people in front, are gathering together, quietly waiting for something, immediately vigilant, to march army approaching, only to find that it is a group of unarmed people, and, carrying the family, panicked, when they saw them, they cheered, and also removed the white hat on their heads, swarming,

"You're finally here."

"We are Han people who follow the teaching, and we have been kicked out by the Hui people."

"Master Wang, Master Wang has come to save us."

Many people cried in surprise, many knelt on the ground to thank God, and then, to Tao Maolin's army to report their grievances, back to the oppression of the army,

Tao Maolin's army is in front, Lei Zhengjuan's army is behind, they are all troops dominated by the original Qing army, which is the road commanded by Luo Bingzhang, more than 18,000 people, two infantry divisions, the forward troops cross or the river, and the follow-up ones are rushing to cross, and the officers and soldiers of the troops are suspicious of a large number of people dressed in Hui army, because some people have the characteristics of the Hui people regardless of their accent or face shape.

They repeatedly explained, saying that they were Hui people who followed the religion, but they were actually Han Chinese, and there were also a large number of authentic Han people in it.

At this moment, the front was dusty, and a large number of Hui cavalry attacked, and the flash of the saber was in the sun, like a thick snowfield.

Tao Maolin's army hurriedly resisted, and formed a large formation, advancing slowly, wanting to win with superior weapons and equipment.

Rifle shooting, flying thunder artillery bombardment, when it is closer, grenade throwing, after the unification of weapons and equipment, anyway, the Qing army and some of the Chinese officers and soldiers from Sichuan are mixed, and the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, under normal circumstances, no matter how many return troops come, they can win, because, in Lanzhou, the troops have stepped up the casting of flying thunder cannons, explosive bags, grenades, and the density of fire has been increased to a satisfactory level.

Under the sparse but powerful rifle fire, the Hui cavalry were killed and wounded one after another, fell down and dismounted, lost their master's war horse, and rushed madly towards the Huaxia army, or turned and fled.

The follow-up Hui cavalry continued to rush, speed and momentum, gained an advantage, after more than 400 casualties, the cavalry of the Hui army rushed to the front, the shining saber suddenly flew, slashing the Chinese soldiers around him,

Blood splattered, shouts abounded,

The soldiers of the Huaxia Army stood in formation, and blew up the Hui cavalry with grenades, many of the horses were frightened and fled.

After the battle stalemate lasted for twenty minutes, suddenly, behind Tao Maolin's army, the sound of killing was loud,

It's the so-called Han Chinese,

And they kept the old, the weak, the sick and the sick behind, and took out from the burden of fleeing from the famine, and took out many weapons, including short knives, and well-hidden iron spears, and the sound of shouts came from behind.

The incident was in a hurry, and the Huaxia army couldn't think of this at all, and was suddenly attacked by the enemy before and after, and the battle array was chaotic.

More than 1,000 disguised Hui troops attacked the back of Tao Maolin's army, and at first they were silent, until they started to kill and lost their concealment, and then they began to roar.

More than 300 officers and soldiers were chopped into pulp before they could react.

The team was in chaos, many officers and soldiers panicked and fled one after another, so the Hui army was full of momentum, and the cavalry offensive was more rapid, and under the cover of the surging cavalry wave, a large number of Chinese officers and soldiers were killed.

Tao Maolin was directing the artillery to bombard the enemy, but suddenly found that there were less than 100 artillery and escort troops around him.

The Huaxia army was defeated,
