Chapter 112: Returning to the Army in a Fierce Battle

On the Sword Pavilion level, there was actually an intercepted enemy,

The strange banner surprised the vanguard Zeng Shi and the army, and sent someone to inquire only to find out that the Shaanxi Hui Army had already attacked and occupied here.

Whose troops, I can't see it, but unfortunately, the four soldiers who went to inquire about the reconnaissance were arrested, three were arrested, and one barely escaped back with wounds,

Zeng Shihe was furious, and immediately dispatched troops to attack, and a regiment of troops attacked it in groups, charging and climbing all over the mountains, and shooting with foreign guns, "Little thief, dare to stop my heavenly soldiers." ”

It's a pity that the situation in the Sword Pavilion is very precipitous, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army all over the mountains and fields, there are not many who can rush to the battle zone, the battle area is very narrow, no matter how many people there are, it doesn't work, not to mention, a regiment is more than 1,000 people, it was originally the Huaxia Army attacking the enemy, unexpectedly, a quarter of an hour later, the Hui army rushed out of the Sword Pavilion, fierce as a storm, wearing white hats, dancing sabers, and even simple bamboo spears, carrying a small number of guns, foreign guns, and killing Zeng Shi and the army in embarrassment.

Zeng Shihe led the guard regiment to reconnoiter and spy on the battle situation, and when he saw that the situation was critical, he immediately went into battle, but the Hui army charged fiercely and was overwhelming, and actually defeated two regiments.

The Hui army went out of the pass and stormed, until it reached the vicinity of the military headquarters of the Zeng army, only to be blocked by the superior Huaxia army, because of the surprise and confusion, the Huaxia army lost its formation, besieged on all sides, and suppressed the Hui army with the tactics of crowds, and the Hui army saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly retreated.

The first battle of the Northern Expedition ended hastily,

Most of a regiment of the Northern Expeditionary Army was annihilated, with more than 700 dead and more than 100 wounded, and Zeng Shihe Guard Regiment killed more than 130 people and wounded more than 400 people, which is equivalent to a formed regiment being completely annihilated.

It was a fiasco,

On the battlefield, all the soldiers of the Huaxia Army who were swallowed up by the Hui army's charging queue were killed, and none were left, and after the battle was over, I saw clusters of corpses spreading on the ground.

Of the soldiers killed in the entire Hui army, there were only more than 230 people, and of the more than 30 people who were captured, 10 committed suicide, and the rest were captured after the bloody battle when they were seriously injured and unconscious.

The meticulous intelligence system made Luo Yang quickly know the battle report of the Sword Pavilion, and he was naturally surprised, he immediately adjusted the troop structure, ordered Zeng Shi and the army to suspend the attack, and led the troops himself to the front line.

First of all, I inquired about the specific battle situation, and Zeng Shihe conducted a detailed study.

Without reprimanding the frustrated Commander Zeng, Luo Yang focused on understanding the attitude, combat effectiveness, weapons and equipment of the Hui Army, and then instructed Lao Zeng to rest: "Don't be discouraged, sum up experience, educate the troops, and this king will fight in person." ”

Luo Yang did not rush to attack, but sent a large number of soldiers to reconnoiter in many ways, and he himself personally used a telescope to look at the enemy army.

Holding on to the last ray of hope, Luo Yang himself wrote a letter expressing his friendship and cooperation, and the cavalry shot the checkpoint with bows and crossbows.

Luo Bingzhang also rushed to the Sword Pavilion, heard the news, and immediately jumped to try: "King Rui, this battle, leave it to the old man to fight, the Hui army rebellion, anti-Qing and anti-Han, brutal means, bloody massacre, causing thousands of miles of Chidi in Shaanxi, the news of Xi'an Admiral Kong Guangshun and Qincha Duolonga has already spread to Sichuan, and the old man knows that since King Rui has given the old man a chance, the old man will work hard for the millions of people who have died." ”

One of the main means of controlling Luo Bingzhang's Qing army's prisoners of war and regimental training is to suppress the rebels of the Hui army, so Luo Yang was very pleased, and immediately assigned Luo Bingzhang's Han army to send a regiment, thinking that it was to help, but in fact, it meant to watch the battle and learn.

The Hui army of the Sword Pavilion was arrogant and rude, and did not send any messenger to explain the situation for a day, when Luo Yang sent a local to inquire about the Hui army of Guanshang, the Hui army of Guan Shang suddenly rushed out of several people and slashed them in front of the gate.

Luo Yang was furious, and the only little intention of the anti-Qing alliance was dispelled, and he immediately mobilized troops, especially the artillery battalion of Zeng Shihe's army, and quickly dispatched his own troops and artillery to the front line.

There were not many Hui troops in Guanshang, and Luo Yang was worried that the enemy would have a large number of reinforcements, so he didn't wait for his artillery brigade to catch up, and directly used the artillery battalion as a fire cover, sending foreign spear infantry as the vanguard, and the saber infantry as the main force of the assault, and coordinated operations.

Luo Yang personally attacked, beating the drums of war,

Almost all the senior generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army were watching and learning, and under the pass, they witnessed the whole process of the battle.

As an artillery squad leader, Luo Yang attaches great importance to the role of artillery, and greatly cherishes the lives of officers and soldiers, which determines the rigor and conservativeness of the battle.

The slow and sparse queue approached the Sword Pavilion, and the few foreign cannons, because of their long range, became the focus of the attack, but not a single shell was wasted, and no prior bombardment was carried out.

The huge troops were all retreated and hidden dozens of miles south of the Sword Pavilion, and the troops that went out to fight as a whole were only one regiment, more than 1,000 people, and a number of auxiliary support troops, the purpose was to lure the enemy to attack, show weakness and deceive.

Sure enough, the tentative attack of more than 300 troops triggered a counterattack by the Hui army in Guanshang, first bombarded by several cast iron shells, and as soon as the gate was opened, the tide of Hui soldiers swarmed in, and the mountains roared with a tsunami.

Looking at the momentum of the Hui army's charge, the generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army who were watching the battle were all shocked,

These people are completely desperate in desperate battles, and the number of Hui troops rushing down from the narrow mountain road is like a snow-white dragon, winding down, with the momentum of falling from the sky and overwhelming the mountains and seas.

is the cunning and cunning Luo Bingzhang, who has extraordinary experience, and he gasped.

Luo Yangjun immediately shot at him with foreign gun fire,

The returning troops were shot one after another, with heavy casualties, but the more dead and wounded, the more brave they were, and the faster they charged.

Strictly speaking, in the last battle, the Hui army was finally defeated by the Chinese Northern Expeditionary Army and brought back to Guanshang, so they came with hatred.

Within a few minutes, more than 100 Hui troops were killed and wounded, and their bodies fell, and they were immediately trampled by the follow-up chargers.

Ordinary infantry and foreign spearmen cooperated, and in the sound of military bugles, they slowly retreated, and on one side, under the cover of alternating three-stage shooting, the narrow mountain road was closed.

The charge of the Hui army was very unwise, and the sparsely numbered foreign gun firepower of the Northern Expeditionary Army also played a role, causing casualties to the enemy while ensuring the safety of their own troops.

The Northern Expeditionary Army fought and retreated, and after retreating more than 300 meters, it suddenly turned around and fled.

Although the Hui army could see clearly at the gate, its troops still bravely pursued, and some of the soldiers who were fast had already rushed into the rear of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and immediately brandished their sabers and slashed and killed.

The generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army, who saw all this in the telescope, were still terrified even though they knew that the situation had changed,
