Chapter 134: The Qing Army Surrenders
The Huaxia army fought bravely, almost all the Hui troops in the south of the city were annihilated, including killed, wounded, captured, and most of the Hu army in the east of the city was also annihilated, the north of the city learned the news earlier, and barely escaped thousands, the rest also had to surrender because of the family involvement, the Hui army in the west of the city was defeated by a regiment of Huaxia army infantry, at the end of the battle, it was the world of the cavalry of the Huaxia army, they clashed back and forth, bravely took the lead, and chased the Hui army that fled to the northwest region, and obtained considerable results.
After a day of fierce fighting, in the evening, the curtain barely came down, and the cavalry troops escorted a large number of returning soldiers and their families, and came with money.
This battle was a brilliant victory for the Huaxia Army and a heavy defeat for the Hui Army.
In addition to the consumption of munitions, the losses of the personnel of the Huaxia Army were negligible, with a total of one hundred and fifty-one soldiers killed and two hundred and seven wounded, which is equivalent to the establishment of an infantry battalion.
On the battlefield, including the large battlefield in the south of the city, including the battlefield around the city, including the battlefield in the northwest region where they had fled to the northwest, more than 1,800 people were killed and more than 17,000 were wounded, and because of the danger of shrapnel from artillery fire, more than 5,000 seriously injured people died one after another, and the total number of casualties was more than 35,000.
The Hui army surrounded all the troops in Fengxiang City, more than 53,000 people, the remaining 18,000 people, and 12,000 people were captured and surrendered, and those who were able to escape were only 6,000 people, which was one-ninth of the total number of troops.
In addition, during the entire campaign, more than 128,000 family members of the captured Hui soldiers,
The commanders of the Hui army of the various ministries, the famous two, Wang Mingzhang and Yang Wenzhi were among the captured,
Historically, these two people were killed and injured in the battle with the Qing army, and now, they are fortunate to be able to ensure the safety of their lives in front of the Huaxia army.
Of course, during this period, the position policy of the Huaxia Army has played a good effect on the heart, for example, surrendering the gun and not killing, for example, the Hui Han family, and for example, some Huaxia soldiers simply pretended to be Hui identities and advised the Hui army, so that a considerable number of Hui soldiers gave up the desperate way of resistance or even suicide and surrendered.
After the end of the main battle, Luo Yang immediately took the military camp of the Hui army as his residence, first arranged for the families of the Hui army to live and rest, and also arranged the residence of the Hui prisoners of war, and ordered the captured Hui army food, etc., to use some of the family members of the Hui army as cooks to cook for self-sufficiency, establish a temporary cordon, etc., the next step is to solve the problem of Fengxiang City,
It's a complex question.
However, the people in the city who were rescued, including the generals of the Qing army, officers and soldiers, prefects and counties, etc., the people were even more complicated to the point of being unable to retract.
At the beginning, I heard the noise in the south, and saw a large number of elite Hui troops gathering south, and the soldiers and civilians in Fengxiang City immediately flocked to the city, lest the Hui army play some tricks, but when the elite main force of the Hui army went south one after another, they suddenly realized and celebrated each other: "Okay, it must be the official army to rescue us." ”
The rumbling cannon sound shook the land of Sanqin, and also shook the hearts of all the soldiers and civilians of Fengxiang City, because, everyone knows that there are few cannons in the Hui army, and such fierce cannons, only the officers and soldiers,
Fengxiang's soldiers and civilians were elated, crying with joy,
As expected, the Hui army was defeated, and the rescue troops swarmed like a tide, but unfortunately, when they came to the field of vision, the officials and people of Fengxiang City were shocked, "What kind of person is this, what kind of soldier." ”
Originally, the thousands of regular troops of the Qing army and more than 10,000 local regiments who were ready to go out of the city to help the war did not dare to act rashly anymore, because some Qing army generals found that this group of rescuers, who were fighting fiercely with the Hui army, actually had long hair.
The flag is different from the Taiping Army, but the hair style is absolutely the same.
Anyway, these people are not officers and soldiers,
Because of the deep hatred with the Hui army, all the people of Shaanxi have rallied and are full of fear for the protection of the Manchu government.
Almost the entire city of soldiers and civilians have poured into the city, and the head of Fengxiang City is already overcrowded, crowded to the extent of a temple fair.
The battle process under the city surprised every viewer, "It's so good to fight." ”
Fengxiang people are deeply impressed by the combat effectiveness of the Hui army, at the beginning of the Hui Revolution, there were regimental exercises to the townships to encircle and suppress, as a result, the Hui army militia, the Qing army was defeated, especially the regimental training, without a battle formation, more than 10,000 people, was actually defeated by thousands of Hui troops, chased and killed thousands of people,
The strange troops outside the city, fierce and invincible, swept away the Hui camp almost like a tide, and the Hui army was either killed and wounded or surrendered and fled, almost without any resistance,
"Okay, okay." Involuntarily, bursts of cheers erupted in the city, and the panic of being surrounded for more than ten months, life and death were at stake, and now the situation suddenly changed abruptly, the enemy was defeated, who was not happy,
The Hui army collapsed, it was overthrown, the people in the city were still watching, doubting, speculating, the city gate was closed, the Qing army and the regimental training departments tightly showed their weapons and ammunition, and stuck to the city wall, and many people were evacuated, because, everyone was worried that the strange troops who destroyed the Hui army were long hair, and the next thing was to attack the city and destroy the Qing army.
The troops under the city also have a lot of suspicious performances, and even make the soldiers and civilians in the city think that this is a bitter trick performed by the Hui army, why the defeated Hui soldiers and their families have been reasonably resettled, there is no beating, scolding and massacre, the Hui army is so barbaric, it should take revenge, right, kill, kill them, take possession of their property, and women,
However, at this time, although the troops under the city were sorting out the queue, they did not have any hostile intention to attack the city.
"What are they going to do?" The Qing army general asked the prefect standing beside him,
"Who knows what these longhairs are doing." The prefect was puzzled and angry,
At this moment, a group of troops under the city put on a posture, and the old man led by him beckoned to the city: "Hey." ”
There were also many soldiers around the old man, but they wore big braids.
"Listen to the Qing Dynasty officials and people in the city, we are the army of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, we have just defeated the Hui army, and we are here to save you, I hope you can open the city, let our senators enter the city, and negotiate with you."
The troops of the Huaxia Army retreated very seriously from the city gate far away, the cavalry dismounted, the infantry gave up their weapons, indicating that there was no hostility, and then, only this old man, that is, Lord Luo Bingzhang, led his cronies and guards to knock on the city to negotiate.
After more than ten months of siege, the soldiers and people in the city were unspeakably grateful, so they quickly opened the city gate and invited in the messenger.
Luo Yang is quite worried, Fengxiang Mansion is big, the status is high, according to the Hui army prisoners of war, according to the previous Han people, it is the largest mansion in the west of Shaanxi Province, with a dense population of hundreds of thousands, presumably the Qing Dynasty officials and generals sitting here are extraordinary,
Unexpectedly, an hour later, the gate of Fengxiang Mansion was opened, and countless Qing Dynasty officials, soldiers, and people flocked out to warmly welcome the Huaxia Army.
