Successive flowering bullets, firecrackers-like gunshots. Flesh and blood flew under the city of Dangar, people cried and horses screamed, and more than 3,000 riot troops and cavalry completely collapsed.

When hope is cut off, when the shock of death turns into pure death, the heat of faith cannot compare to the deterrence of the butcher's knife. More than 2,000 rioters were taken prisoner. At least fifteen hundred people have fallen on the battlefield, and it is now good to have a thousand rioters in the city of Tangar.

Liu Xian made a slight rectification and immediately waved his troops to attack the city of Dangar. He didn't want to let the rioters in the city get a chance to breathe, so he beat the water dogs, and ended the battle in one fell swoop while the rioters were still in shock.

It's just that because of the stubbornness of the riot army and the many changes that may arise from the battle in the city, Liu Xian is still ready to pay some casualties. But things were unexpected, and the process of conquering the city of Tangar was extremely smooth, and the riots in the city fled completely.

Huo Guangzheng, who led the infantry of the garrison brigade to kill the first to enter the city, obtained an important piece of information after questioning the prisoners - Ma Benyuan, the commander-in-chief of the riot army in Tangar City, failed to escape back to the city.

When the expeditionary army attacked the city of Dangar, not only was the army chaotic and panicked in the city, but also the group of 'rats' had no leader.

"Give me a closer look at it immediately-" Liu Xian rubbed his hands, unable to suppress the surprise in his heart. He only thought about fighting a war of annihilation, but unknowingly caught a big fish.

Ma Benyuan, this is the eldest brother of the thief leader Ma Guiyuan, one of the troika of the Xining riot army.

The significance of capturing or killing Ma Benyuan, although it is not as significant as recovering Dangar City in one fell swoop and exterminating more than 4,000 riotous troops, is not small.

For today's Manchu officialdom and Beijing, the following victory cut 5,000 people, and tomorrow won a big victory to suppress 20,000 people, which is all empty talk and cannot be believed. Only the real head of the thief will be recognized.

Ma Benyuan's head is much lighter than the more than 4,000 rioters in terms of the situation in Xining. But in terms of officialdom, he is much more significant than recovering the city of Dangar and exterminating more than 4,000 rebel troops.

"Liu Junmen, Liu Junmen......" Dolji Shamu has been excited for a while, and now it is not easy to make a profit. looked at Liu Xian with hot eyes, his mouth trembled, and he danced to express his joy and excitement.

He was willing to help Liu Xian when he was preparing to attack Xining, and he was straight to protect himself. The expeditionary army has less than 7,000 people, and the main Qin army looks very good, but can the real combat power be as powerful as the appearance of the Qin army? Dolzishamu has no bottom at all.

He was sick and rushed to the doctor. I was forced by Xining's soldiers and threats. That's why even if I doubted in my heart that Liu Xian's team of less than 7,000 people could defeat the Xining rebel army, he also put his capital on this bet.

He traveled for many days to lead the series among the Mongolian tribes for Liu Xian, but he received no definite answer. It also proves the suspicion of the Qinghai tribes about Liu Xian's expeditionary army from another side.

However, this qiē will disappear after this war.

The rebel army was killed and taken prisoner in the first battle of Dangar, losing four or five thousand men. These are the young and strong main forces among the believers of the Xining True God Cult, and how many believers are there in the entire Xining True God Sect?

100,000 people?

There was still a considerable part of the Salar who did not want to rebel.

The main cadre of the entire Xining riot army [Qingzhuang] is less than 20,000 people. A quarter of the city of Tangar was wiped out in this battle, but the troops used by the expeditionary army were only three men and horses, and the casualties paid were not worth mentioning.

Now Dorji Shamu has a hundred confidence in Liu Xian's trip to Pingxining.

"At least five thousand Mongol warriors." Dorzishamu's tone was firm and confident. "Liu Junmen, I will take them to Dangar in three days!"

A group of wall grass, which side is strong and which side falls.

The current Mongolian tribes will definitely stand on Liu Xian's side without hesitation.

Dorzishamu left the city of Tangar that afternoon and rushed back to Huitnanqi overnight.

At sunset, the infantry squadron of the Sun Moon Pass also escorted more than 100 captives to Dangar. The capture of more than 2,000 people was a big problem, and Liu Xian was prepared to dispose of them while waiting for the rear to enter the ranks.

First of all, taking the opportunity of investigating the origin of the horse, the captives were forcibly divided into several groups. The wilderness on the banks of the Huangshui River, flat and waveless, was a good place to monitor the captives.

In order to prevent accidents in the process of identification, a cavalry brigade and an infantry brigade were stationed around the perimeter and waited for them. The captives naturally had a commotion, but the reason why the heroes did not suffer the losses in front of them was still known, and no one dared to provoke trouble when they saw that the infantry cavalry of the expeditionary army was staring at them.

According to the Qin army's practice of dealing with captives, the first one to select those who were physically strong from the group of captives.

Regardless of the number of captives captured, the vast majority of captives looked the same. In terms of physique alone, only a small number of captives can meet the standard of physical strength. As far as the more than 2,000 rioters in front of him are concerned, they will not exceed 100 people.

What is the second one, that is, to pick out those whose complexions look ruddy and shiny, and drag them out regardless of their height and shape.

Although after these rioters rebelled, they plundered everywhere, ate wine and drank meat, and their nutrition would definitely come up, and there were many people with red faces. But they are still an old-style army, and no matter which old-style army, the greatest benefit of the army will always be a minority.

The fierce people can always eat better than the weaker, and the people who dare to fight can always appreciate more than those who are timid and cowardly. This has been a truth for thousands of years.

Under this criterion, the number of selections in the second wave was much larger, and two or three hundred people were quickly selected. After that, the expeditionary army picked among the remaining ones. The thickness of this cocoon does not refer to the cocoon sharpened by holding the hoe, but to the cocoon sharpened by holding the knife.

They are all soldiers, and it is completely easy to distinguish whether the calluses on a person's hands are caused by holding a knife or a hoe.

Even if there is a difference, it is very individual.

In this way, after a full hour and a half of busy work, a thousand "strong" thugs were selected one by one. But Ma Benyuan was not among them, and Liu Xian could only pin his hopes on cleaning up the battlefield.

As to why the officers and soldiers should pick people, the captives have their own ideas. Most of the captives thought that the official army was going to choose strong soldiers to augment their troops, or to use them as labor, just as they had dealt with some Han Chinese.

Therefore, in the process of picking people, most of the captives were quite cooperative. Although there are some people who smell the danger signal from it, they don't say anything about the surrounding thug captives.

Originally, when there were knives and guns, they couldn't do anything to the officials and soldiers, but now they are empty-handed, and resisting again is not purely sending them to death.

Just like those prisoners of war who surrendered to Little Japan during the Anti-Japanese War. Everyone knows that little Japan is cruel and terrible, and it is not human, and it will not be easy to fall into their hands. But in the face of death, I don't know how many soldiers gave up resistance and sought that ray of life.

Now the rebel captives are the same.

Surrounded by musketeers with muskets, and not far away there were a group of cavalry eyeing each other, and if the captives who smelled the danger wanted to resist, they had to ask the officers and soldiers whether they would agree with their swords and guns.

His subordinates were busy sorting out the captives, but Liu Xian was staring at the Huangshui River. There is no longer a single Han Chinese in Dangar City, and this city that has developed rapidly because of trade routes does not mean that there are no local Han people without business opportunities. Dorji Shamu said that the aboriginal Han Chinese were driven into the Huangshui River two years ago......

"Junmen, do you want to do it?" Wei Ming hit his horse and leaned towards Liu Xian's side, looking at the thousands of people he had specially picked out with fierce eyes. As long as Liu Xian gives an order, he will personally lead the team to rush the group of beasts into the Huangshui River.

"Not right now. Wait until the Mongols come three days later, and it's not too late to sacrifice the flag with a bloody sword. ”

Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. Although the Mongolian Zasak of the 29th Banner of Qinghai is very tame, it does not make them really frightened, and it is difficult to ensure that there will be no chaos in the future.

Now that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has fallen, although there are still the True God Cult rebel army in the northwest, the Shida Kaibu in the three southwestern provinces, and the Twist army in the Central Plains, which have not been wiped out, the Manchu Dynasty has undoubtedly passed its most dangerous stage. In other words, Beijing's prestige is slowly recovering, after all, there is 'Tongzhi Zhongxing', which has brought the Manchu Qing back to light for a while.

Qinghai Twenty-Nine Banners Mongolian Zasak has changed over time, can it really maintain the current respectful attitude towards the expeditionary army? Liu Xian didn't believe it at all.

"Kill chickens and monkeys, how can you do it without monkeys."

Wei Ming nodded heavily. Liu Xian stopped for a while, suddenly remembered something, and immediately beckoned to the soldiers around him, "You and Dorji Shamu rush back to the Huitenan Banner together." Let Zhang Zhongkui leave Berding behind, and don't let him come with the medical camp. ”

It's better not to let the doctor know about the slaughter and killing. Although this kind of thing is also being done in Europe and the United States, Berdeen is a priest and a doctor after all, and he doesn't know the best.

A little later, Ma Benyuan's body was found from the pile of dead bodies under the south gate. It was killed by a flowering bomb, and his arms and legs were missing, but his head was intact. Identified by many people, there is no doubt that it is the origin of the horse.

……

The day after the war.

A piece of news was blowing like a whirlwind in the vast Qinghai Lake and grassland along the lake.

The imperial court officers and troops won a great victory yesterday. Liu Junmen's 2,000 elite soldiers marched 70 miles at night, captured the Sun Moon Pass, Kedangar City, beheaded the origin of horses, and captured 5,000 rioters.

All the young men of the Huitenan Banner have begun to assemble, and Lord Dorji Shamu will lead his men and horses to follow Liu Junmen into Xining City to exterminate the rebellious True God Cultists. At that time, a part of the ...... of the rebel rebels will become the spoils of the Huitenan Banner.

The cronies of the Mongol Zasaks, who had witnessed the strength of the expedition with Dorzishamu yesterday, also returned to their masters. Use all the words to describe the strength of the expeditionary army!

The Mongol tribes around the Huitnan Banner were all Heshute Mongols, and these Zasaks did not believe the rumors circulating in the steppe, but they believed the words of their minions.

So the Heshuo Tenao South Right Head Banner, the South Right End Banner, the South Left Second Banner, the South Left End Banner, and the South Right Rear Banner, a full five banner tribe, together with the Khalkha South Right Banner, plus the Huitnan Banner, the Seven Banners Zasak led a full 6,000 young and strong men in their group, and on the morning of the third day after the battle of Dangar, they crossed the Sun Moon Mountain and arrived at the Huangshui River.

The Battle of Dangar is not the end of Xining's strategy, this is the beginning! R1152
