All the surrendered three Qing army generals were uniformly organized as brigade-level officers, with 3,000 subordinates, but, high-level, such as Lei Zhengwan, he was originally the governor of Shaanxi Province, this time he didn't have to mention it again, so he changed it to the governor of Gansu, but, concurrently serving as the governor of Gansu, this time, civil and military part-time, it is also considered to be a promotion title, as for Tao Cao, the two are the rank of general soldier, in the late Qing Dynasty war years, the total number of soldiers is like a cow's hair, it seems that in the Qing army, only the name of the general soldier, after the war, there are 8000 people, there is also a saying, There are 8,000 named commanders and 20,000 registered soldiers, Nima, which means that there are so many officers of this level.

Luo Yang's strategy is good, although when he thinks about it, he is promoted and encouraged, but the effect is very good, and the three generals of the Manchu army are so excited that they burst into tears.

"King Rui, we are willing to be cattle and horses for you, and we are loyal."

In the end, he is a military general, a rough man, and he is used to talking,

Luo Yang helped them up: "Don't, not only for me, but mainly for the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, for the prosperity of the Chinese nation." ”

"Yes, King Rui."

For the generals of the Shaanxi Hui army who surrendered to Shun, Luo Yang also gave enough treatment, and now the total Hui army under his command has 8,000 people, the establishment is seven regiments, one division, and the officers at all levels are equivalent to the Han army system, and also promised the generals of the Hui army, and so on to completely pacify the army in the northwest, the three provinces, retain the quota of the Hui army, and in the administrative organs, also give a certain fixed number of protection, in this way, the enthusiasm of the Hui army has also been mobilized,

Pulling troops to the west, Luoyang's army quickly rushed to Fengxiang, and after contacting Luo Bingzhang, he rectified the soldiers and horses in Fengxiang City, and made a large number of gunpowder and other things, as a backup, Luo Yang himself, led the elite 20,000 people in advance, and forced to Gansu with 5,000 troops as the guide,

The Hui forces in the northwest have five major centers, namely Dong Zhiyuan, Jinjibao, Hezhou, Suzhou, and Xining, and even after most of the Hui army in Shaanxi was destroyed or surrendered, there were still hundreds of thousands of troops.

The Western Expeditionary Army moved in an all-round way and advanced to Gansu, with Luo Bingzhang and Hu Zhonghe as the left wing, Lei Zhengjuan Cao Kezhong and Tao Maolin as the right wing, and Luoyang as the middle road, but in terms of attack, the Luoyang army was much faster, with the main force in the rear, and the 2,000 cavalry and Mara artillery in the front line became the top soldiers of the whole line.

On the third day of November 1863, the weather was freezing and the northwest wind was already roaring like thunder, and the advance of the Luoyang army approached Bai Jiyuan, where, in the form of a surprise attack, the Hui army guide, achieved a small victory, surrounded and annihilated more than 500 Hui troops, among them, killed more than 30 people, wounded more than 40 people, and the cavalry used to throw ignition grenades, which frightened the Hui army, plus the propaganda of the Hui army guides, promised, and the rest of the Hui troops surrendered one after another.

There are strong fortresses on the Baiji Plain, and if the return army does not surrender, the flying thunder cannons will continue to smash on it.

At noon on the fourth day of the first month, 3,000 Luoyang troops attacked Dong Zhiyuan, which was the last stronghold of the remnants of the Shaanxi Hui army, all the Shaanxi Hui army, plus the Gansu armed forces near the station, finally gathered more than 4,000 soldiers, more than 20,000 people, and built several villages and cities in this area, connected to each other, and deep ditches and long walls to cover up, and the fortifications were built quite painstakingly.

The last stronghold of the Shaanxi Hui army, naturally desperately defended, raising guns and guns to shoot indiscriminately, and then the infantry and cavalry charged in clusters, and the Shaanxi Hui army fought to the death under the leadership of Bai Yanhu.

It was completely a confrontation between two armies of different grades, and the result was like the battle between the Qing army monk and the Grinqin army against the British and French forces at Bali Bridge in Tongzhou, outside Beijing three years ago.

The Hui army has very few foreign guns, I am afraid that there are only about a dozen rods, and the ammunition is very small, mainly to carry guns, etc., with a firing range of no more than 100 meters, and the charging Hui army all use sabers, spears, and even, some use kitchen knives, some use bamboo poles to tie weapons, or simply cut the bamboo knots into blades.

More than 200 infantry took the lead in approaching the long trench of the Hui army, luring the Hui army to shoot, and then leading to the Hui army's charging hand-to-hand combat.

The infantry did not hurry, first retreated slightly fifty meters, and then, with grenades, bombarded the Hui army to pieces,

The captured foreign artillery of the Huaxia Army was aimed at the stronghold of the Hui Army for fixed-point killing, and the artillery under the strict training of Luo Yang was very much like the technical taste of the Vietnamese monkeys decades ago, and they were fought surprisingly accurately.

One shot took out several of the most advanced gun group fighters of the Hui army, and another shot took out several officers, blew down the flag, or directly aimed at the crowd of the Hui army's charge, and the center blossomed,

In the end, the Hui army is a militia, and it lacks the necessary training, especially the common sense of defense against artillery, and it is still a brave victory, attacking it in groups, and as a result, it was accurately killed and injured by artillery.

Suppressed by foreign artillery, more than ten flying thunder cannons advanced to a suitable position, and immediately, the Hui army suffered a fatal blow.

The Hui army was very brave, but in vain it increased the casualties and increased the number of enemy victories.

The number of the Huaxia army is not large, but the weapons and equipment far surpass the Hui army, so the comprehensive combat index and data are very different.

Almost easily bombarded, and then advanced and then advanced, the Hui army stubbornly resisted, there were many casualties, twenty minutes later, the Huaxia army that coordinated the operation occupied three Hui army camps, killed hundreds of Hui troops, captured dozens of people, and the rest of the Hui army retreated.

After occupying a few forts, the Luoyang army easily rolled the flying thunder cannon to the height of the fortress to monitor the movements of the Hui army, and as a result, almost looking at the scan, the Hui army was bombarded and killed in large numbers.

After another twenty minutes, the Hui army collapsed, emerged from several remnants of the fortress, carried the family with them, and fled without a life.

The returning army was fleeing on the road, and as soon as they ran not far away, they listened to the horses' hooves behind them, and the cavalry frenzy of the Luoyang army swept in.

When encountering resistance, they use bombs, and when they encounter deserters, they intimidate or kill, and the Luoyang cavalry troops are like entering a no-man's land.

More than 20,000 Hui troops and people, by more than 2,000 Luoyang cavalry, chased bitterly, at this time, the Luoyang army shouted loudly, and asked dozens of Hui soldiers to guide the Hui army to explain, advise, so that the vast majority of Hui people, have surrendered rationally,

Dong Zhiyuan, the last stronghold of the remnants of the Shaanxi Hui Army, easily fell into the hands of the Luoyang Army.

In the battle of Dong Zhiyuan, the Luoyang army took the initiative to attack, sacrificing three people and wounding four people, almost negligible price, and attacked the remnants of the Hui army in Shaanxi Bai Yanhu's troops, as a result, killed more than 600 Hui troops, wounded and captured more than 700 of his army, chased and coerced on the battlefield, and surrendered more than 14,000 people.

The families of these returning soldiers are very pitiful, some have been following, fled here from Shaanxi, completely refugees, in front of the artillery of the Huaxia army, they have no confidence in victory, worried about their relatives, with tears on their faces,

Many people were injured and crippled because of their trampling on each other, and some even thought that they would be humiliated by the enemy, so they committed suicide by jumping into rivers and wells.

The chaos and the panic caused by the fighting, which is very destructive and unavoidable,

Dong Zhiyuan was broken in a battle, and the remnants of the Shaanxi Hui army, only hundreds of Hui troops, fled to Jinjibao in Ningxia, and there were many Hui troops, and the people, after escaping by luck, scattered for their lives, and never dared to gather again.
