More than 2,000 Hui troops were lured into the ground of Wuli in Guannan, and the open area here immediately started fighting.

The Hui soldiers rushed into the Northern Expeditionary Army, slashed on it wantonly, and were extremely brave, and their burly stature and strength were far more physical advantages than the Northern Expeditionary Army composed of Sichuan Han and other ethnic groups.

The infantry of the Northern Expeditionary Army continued to retreat and fled southward, and along the way, a small number of soldiers were already chased and slashed by the Hui army.

Of course, the Northern Expeditionary Army's battle and retreat formation was also quite powerful, and the shooting of foreign guns caused at least more than 200 Hui soldiers to be killed, and the same number of Hui soldiers were injured.

Luoyang

The troops led by him, hidden in the east, had only a few hundred people, but an artillery battery of foreign artillery, plus more than 20 flying thunder guns, became a powerful fire deterrent.

The flanks of the Hui army immediately sent troops to attack these scattered enemies, and the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army at the front also retreated after the contact battle.

When most of the troops out of the Hui army completely broke away from the checkpoint and crowded to the south, Luo Yang immediately ordered the trumpeters to blow the military horn, the sound of the military trumpet, and the rumbling of artillery fire, which completely changed the atmosphere of the battlefield in an instant.

The foreign artillery of the Northern Expeditionary Army concealed on both wings accurately bombarded the dense crowd of the Hui army, and the bursting shrapnel and gunpowder smoke drowned the clusters of Hui officers and soldiers, and the smoke and dust that rose up were almost completely covered.

Shrapnel wantonly tore at the flesh of steel, blasting a living body into countless pieces, or cutting clusters of people into rags, throwing themselves to the ground and wailing,

One shell, one explosion, can kill more than a dozen or even dozens of Hui soldiers,

The bombardment of the flying thunder cannon is even more powerful, and once this 20-pound explosive bag flies up and falls on the head of the returning army, that large area of the enemy will no longer have the idea of fleeing for their lives.

It was no longer a battle, but a one-sided slaughter, and the Northern Expeditionary Army, which had the advantage in weapons and equipment, completely grasped the initiative in the battle,

Not only that, but even the officers and soldiers of the Northern Expedition who fled south also showed their true strength, only to see grenades that ignited the line of fire rising into the sky, one after another, and smashed on their heads.

Originally, I thought it was just the enemy's stone smashing people's Hui army, although the central group was heavily damaged, but the hundreds of people who went south to the front still attacked bravely.

Boom Boom,

After only one round of bombing, the Hui army was blown up,

The Hui army is either dead or wounded, and no one can stand on the position,

After the fierce battle, more than 2,000 Hui troops were killed, more than 600 were killed, and the rest were wounded or stunned, and all were captured.

Seeing the tragedy under the gate with his own eyes, the Hui army did not dare to fight, and closed the city gate and did not come out.

Luoyang's troops quickly cleaned up the battlefield and interrogated the captured back army.

The soldiers of the Hui army were tenacious and fierce, they did not answer at all, and they fought repeatedly, and some soldiers who had just woken up from a coma attacked the Northern Expeditionary Army around them even more fiercely.

After several battles of wits and courage, repeated enlightenment, only to ask clearly, the sneak attack on the Sword Pavilion is the Shaanxi Hui army Wang Mingzhang Department, at this time the Hui army is besieging Xi'an City, and the Qing army reinforcements arrived, launched an offensive, decisive battle in Weicheng, Wang Mingzhang is one of the commanders of the Shaanxi Hui army, leading the army, south, in order to disturb the Qing army's flank, and at the same time support to find the Taiping army,

There was no beating, no massacre, but a way of treating the wounded, which quickly infected the prisoners of war, and they told a lot of stories,

Luo Yang was taken aback, because his grasp of the situation in Shaanxi was very different from the facts.

In Hanzhong, Chenggu area of the Taiping Tian ** team, has been tossed north, arrived in northern Shaanxi, the southern front only retained, the Qing army is now actively attacking, its commander is not Mu Tushan, but Duolonga, this guy is not dead, the so-called dead letter, just a rumor,

Luo Yang released more than a dozen prisoners of war and asked them to make it clear to the Hui generals that they should immediately stop fighting and form a friendly alliance.

Soon, the Hui army returned to the gate, and the Luo Yang army was waiting for the result.

Unexpectedly, the Hui army on the gate hesitated for a while, and then beheaded those prisoners of war and threw them away, as a punishment for the traitors.

The possibility of negotiating a union is completely gone,

"Hit, hit." The generals shouted, the easy victory, and the cost of more than 30 casualties, which made everyone unbelievably excited.

"King Rui's artillery fire is fierce, and his command is determined, and he is really a famous general." Luo Bingzhang, who watched the battle, was envious, and Hu Zhonghe, the former general of the Hunan Army, the governor of Sichuan, and the current deputy commander of the Han Army, was also amazed, "No wonder we failed miserably in Songlin River, King Rui is really the god of battle." ”

The power of the flying thunder cannon equipped by the Northern Expeditionary Army especially shocked the two of them, Luo Bingzhang personally stepped forward, stroked it repeatedly, and sighed again and again,

Since the Hui army stubbornly resisted, Luo Yang could only fight to the end, in the steep and narrow Guannan, he sent more than 500 troops, carrying foreign cannons, foreign guns, flying thunder cannons, etc., slowly advanced, approached to the pass, advancing step by step, first using foreign artillery to carry out fixed-point bombardment of the enemy, and then, covering foreign spearmen and flying thunder artillery troops, continue to fight forward and knock on the pass,

Ouyang Jiong, the former commander of the artillery brigade, was specially dispatched by Luo Yang from an infantry brigade under his subordinates to be responsible for front-line command.

Ouyang Jiong is the technical backbone trained by Luoyang, and he knows the use of artillery, he commanded in front and quickly approached the pass.

The remnants of the Hui army, holding on to the Sword Pavilion, used the captured iron cannon to defend the pass, desperately fought back, because they were not familiar with the attributes and shooting skills of the iron cannon, the accuracy was very poor, and the threat was very small, on the contrary, the foreign artillery bombardment of the Northern Expeditionary Army quickly suppressed the Hui army, and the Hui army on the city was bombed and killed and wounded one by one, and after a while, those Hui troops did not even dare to come out of the battlements again,

The infantry of the Northern Expeditionary Army quickly rushed forward and came to the gate,

The Flying Thunder Artillery unit also moved until the gate was closed, and then it carried out a devastating bombardment of the gate.

It's so close, you don't need to aim, a few shots come down, and the door is completely destroyed,

At the same time, the flying thunder artillery unit also bombarded the battlements of Guanshang, and the violent explosion not only shook the valley, the ground trembled, but also killed and injured many Hui troops directly on the city.

"So you win." The generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army cheered excitedly when they saw the red military flag of the Northern Expeditionary Army quickly flash into the gate and appear on the gate of the Sword Pavilion again.

When the forward troops occupied the Sword Pavilion, the Shaanxi Hui army was still resisting stubbornly, continuing to bombard with fierce artillery fire, the Northern Expeditionary Army in the later battle, there were almost no casualties, and the Hui army was bombarded by artillery fire to the casualties, in the pass, pieces of corpses, became a shocking landscape,

The military flag of the Shaanxi Hui Army was ignited and burned in the artillery fire, and it was helpless to turn into smoke.

The troops of the Northern Expeditionary Army, in a small pursuit, captured a large number of wounded and stunned Hui troops by artillery fire,

When Luo Yang stood on the Sword Pavilion Pass, looking at the steep terrain, Ouyang Jiong and the others had already come to report their achievements.

"King Rui, there are 583 Hui prisoners of war and 615 corpses in the city pass, and the casualties of our army in the city pass and pursuit are eleven people."
