Chapter 114: Sweeping Yangping Pass

After the victory of the Sword Pavilion, Luo Yang completely adjusted the troops, served as the pioneer of the road, the decisive battle troops, with Zeng Shihe Army as the reserve, and dispersed the Han army of Luo Bingzhang into the divisions and brigades, which is also the meaning of Luo Bingzhang and Hu Zhonghe, the battle of the Sword Pavilion made the two completely admired, dissolved the last hostility in their hearts, and said that they must be under the leadership of Luo Yang, anti-Qing and the founding of the country,

Led a division of troops, quickly forward, along the way, recovered Guangyuan, Baishui, Ningqiang and other places that were occupied by the counterattack army, approached Yangping Pass, so far, the Luoyang army has waved into Shaanxi, and really entered the Northern Expedition battle,

The Hui army defeated along the way, the number is not much, one by one, more than 1,000 people, only a few hundred people, the weapons and equipment are poor, but the battle is very brave, the Luoyang army is completely suppressed by firepower, although it consumes a lot of gunpowder, but it has caused a major casualty disparity, when it arrived at the Yangping Pass, the Luoyang pioneer army only sacrificed 12 people and wounded 7 people, while the Hui army was killed more than 800 people, wounded more than 1,700 people, and the rest were captured by more than 400 people.

For any prisoners of war of the Hui army, after the end of the battle, the Luoyang army immediately bandaged and treated, released the minor wounded, and cared for the seriously wounded, and asked for the release of the prisoners of war with minor injuries.

"The generals of the Hui army should understand that since they are all anti-Qing rebel armies, they should be under the command of this king, and they must not be independent, otherwise, this king's Huaxia Heavenly Army will sweep it and annihilate it."

"Yes, yes, my lord, your army is so good, so merciful." The prisoners of war said gratefully and left,

Along the way, I found that in Shaanxi, the situation is very miserable, there are desolate countryside everywhere, many areas, the whole village has been burned to a miasma, the remaining traces are miserable, there are many corpses or something, on the road, there are even new corpses, some of the posture of death is very painful, at a glance, you can know that it is caused by torture,

"King Rui, look, this is ironclad evidence of the rebellion and massacre of the Hui army." Luo Bingzhang said indignantly, crying,

The situation is indeed very serious, dozens of miles on the ground, and there are no living villagers.

Luo Yang immediately dispatched soldiers and scattered them, looking for the lost people everywhere, hoping to ask for an understanding,

Finally, I found a few in the countryside, all of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, because they were hiding in the ravine, barely alive, dressed in tatters, with yellow faces and thin muscles, as soon as they found the soldiers of the Huaxia Army, they begged for mercy loudly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed,

When Luo Yang saw these people, they were already much better, because they knew that they were the generals of the Han nationality, they were so happy that they burst into tears, holding Luo Yang's arm, crying to death, and all the soldiers present shed tears.

These few Han people who survived by luck told a terrible scene, the Hui army armed in the face, the chickens and dogs that passed by did not stay, killing the people of the entire village, all cut off,

Luo Yang hurriedly asked the reason, these people shook their heads, they really didn't know,

It seems that the situation of the peasant rebel army in Shaanxi is extremely chaotic, originally, he was just inciting and luring Luo Bingzhang to surrender with the rebellion of the Hui army, but now, he actually found that this is true,

The generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army knew the situation and said that the Manchus could not rebel first, and they also had to save the Han compatriots in Shaanxi and Gansu.

Of course, Luo Yang can't look at the question so simply: "The specific reason, this king is not clear for the time being, but this king's order is that whether you are the regular army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the regimental training, or the Northwest Expeditionary Force of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, or the Hui army of Shaanxi and Gansu, there is only one way, all of them surrender unconditionally to this king, obey the orders of this king, and become part of the Huaxia Heavenly Army, otherwise, all our enemies, and whoever brutally slaughters the people, will become the number one enemy of this king, and this king will definitely not be soft." ”

"Okay, King Rui is right."

"Yes, I hope that the generals will pay attention to the fact that our army is here for the harmonious and unified China, not for revenge and revenge, and we must strike hard at all the armies that brutally slaughtered the people.

After the unit was rectified again, Luo Bingzhang served as the chief of staff, the artillery unit was commanded by Ouyang Jiong, the foreign gun team was commanded by Liu Jiahui, and the first infantry brigade was commanded by Xie Jiangnan.

It is a pity that Luoyang's ethnic policy did not get the response it deserved, on the contrary, the Hui army, extremely hostile, guarded Yangping Pass with 5,000 people, blocking the way of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

The battle of the Sword Pavilion has made the Huaxia army's offensive skills have been tempered, and it is still the same old way, attracting the enemy with a small number of troops, luring the enemy into battle, and then striking it under the pass.

More than 1,000 young and middle-aged people returned to the army, and as soon as they saw the challenge of the Huaxia army, they opened the gate and flocked to the army.

The officers and men of the Chinese army are overjoyed, as long as the returning army can go out to fight, the difficulty of attacking the fortified positions can be greatly reduced.

"Kill, kill, kill, kill all the bad things that have violated the doctrine."

The Hui army is indeed very brave, shouting slogans, without hesitation,

Lured the Hui army into the three miles of Guannan, the Huaxia army troops swarmed to surround it, trapped more than 1,000 Hui troops in the core, and shouted to them to lay down their arms and surrender.

The Huaxia army used a dense human wall to block the main road, and used foreign guns as defensive weapons to shoot in a row.

The three-stage shooting method is that more than three rows of soldiers, holding foreign guns, take turns to replace the loading bullets, in order to maintain the consistency of the shooting fire, can kill and injure the enemy to the greatest extent, this is also the regular tactics used by the foreign gun teams in Western countries at this time, and the pre-breech mounted flint gun is also popular in the world.

In the case of ineffective persuasion, the Huaxia artillery set up the flying thunder artillery, aimed at the dense crowd of the besieged Hui army, and carried out a round of bombardment.

Only 20 flying thunder cannons, easily 20 explosives packs, more than 1,000 Hui troops were killed and wounded, after the bombardment, only 100 of the more than 1,000 people were intact, some people were estimated not to be injured by shrapnel, but the people were already asleep, and when they looked at themselves later, they had completely lost their breath, but they were bleeding from their noses and mouths, and they were completely shocked to death by the wave of shells.

The sound of violent explosions came from far away, and the mountains and valleys were shaken, and even the ground under their feet trembled slightly.

The flying thunder cannon, known as the cannon without conscience, once again decided the situation of the war.

Ouyang Jiong won the battle, and simply pushed the cannon in front of Yangping Pass and bombarded it directly.

The Hui army was obviously stunned by the fiasco at Guanxia, and without even returning fire from the artillery, they hurriedly retreated.

The infantry reconnaissance team of the Huaxia Army cautiously caught up with the gate of the gate, tried a few times, and climbed the city pass, only to find that there was no enemy on the pass, and on the road to the north, the Hui army troops were retreating like a tide.
