Chapter 200: Liu Jintang Flies to Capture the Three Southern Cities (3)

On the night of April 24, 1877, Jintang led 20 battalions of infantry, cavalry and artillery to Tuoxun, and at noon the next day, entered the Baiyang River.

There was an endless stream of refugees along the way, and Jintang sent people to inquire, all of whom said; When the Kokand people heard that the city of Daban had been lost, they were terrified, burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil, and Tuoxun was already a sea of purgatory; The soil and fennel released by Daban Castle were also killed by the Kokand people.

Huang Wanpeng, the commander of the Jingshan Battalion Horse Team, was anxious to speak, and reported that the 10th battalion army of the Song and Shu Second Army, Sun Jinbiao, and Xu Zhanbiao had a long-distance attack after meeting in Yanchi, and conquered the passes and cities such as Qike Tengmu, Bizhan and Shengjintai all the way, and planned to attack Turpan on March 13.

Jintang pinched his fingers, was shocked, and said: Tomorrow is the day of the attack, Turpan has 3,500 reverse cavalry, more than 5,000 infantry teams, 20 cannons, countless foreign guns, and Bai Yanhu is in command; The two armies of Song and Shu were less than 10,000 soldiers, running thousands of miles, extremely tired, and the sudden attack was bound to fail. Luo Changhu led Tan Bacui, Tao Shenglin, Xi Dacheng, Tan Heyi, Tang Renhe, Zhang Hongsheng and Mabu six battalions to help; This place is 200 miles away from Turpan, and the troops of Luo, Tan, and Tao will arrive at the battlefield before the end of tomorrow.

Luo Changhu waited for the order to go, and Huang Wanpeng said: General Liu, Tuoxun's current situation is also as urgent as a spark, not only is it urgent, it is really a matter of people's lives, and his subordinate horse team is one step ahead.

Jintang Road: Unkempt, not all refugees; The flames of war are all over the place. Haigula Kite shoulders jackals, Tuoxun bandits have more than 10,000 soldiers, General Huang must be careful! Cui Wei, Bi Dacai, Yu Yichang, Yu Zhonghai, Li Jinliang and Ma Bu five battalions went first.

Huang Wanpeng led his troops to run 90 miles, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at Xiaocao Lake on the outer edge of Tuoxun.

Wan Peng was filled with righteous indignation, and the superintendent moved forward bravely. Suddenly, three cannon shots were heard, and thousands of Kokand soldiers poured out on the left and right, trapping Wan Peng's army for several turns. Wan Peng was fearless, took the lead, led the team to decide, fought hard for two, Jintang led the main army, the soldiers were divided into three ways, entered the battlefield, fought all night, and killed more than 2,000 Kokand soldiers.

Haigula was afraid, and quickly broke through the city with more than 1,000 remnants of Kokand and fled, and when Tu Wei, Tangyi, Kazakhs, and Mongols saw this, they stopped fighting and killed, and Hulala knelt on the ground to surrender. For a time, the mountains were all over the wilderness for a radius of five miles, and all of them were people who knelt on the ground and asked to surrender.

Besides, Luo Changhu's army galloped 200 miles overnight, and at dawn, it arrived at the north gate of Turpan City. The Turpan guards did not hesitate any longer, that is, they led more than 10,000 Tufen and Entangled Fen to open the city and surrender.

Luo Changhu, Tan Bacui and others couldn't help but be overjoyed, Luo Changhu said: Where is the white Yanhu and the entangled Aike Khan?

The horsemen were enlightened: Daban City was broken by your army, and no one escaped on horseback; Bai Yanhu and Ikemu Khan were frightened, and they all fled from the West Gate, and the two divisions of your army Xu Zhanbiao and Sun Jinbiao crossed the city to pursue, but they all disappeared. Bai Yanhu was coerced by a lot of people, and his actions were very slow.

Tan Bacui said: Bai Yanhu and Ikemu Khan are two rebellious, leading more than 10,000 soldiers; Xu and Sun are afraid that they will not be in danger.

Luo Changhu said: Xi Dacheng's troops guarded the city wall, and the rest of the departments followed me out of the city to pursue.

Let's say that Xu Zhanbiao and Sun Jinbiao, the two generals, heard about the victory in Dabancheng, and their hearts doubled; The two parts are opened and closed, and they go directly around to the west of Turpan to intercept.

Bai Yanhu, Ekmu Khan and others poured out of the city walls, and in a hurry, they led an army and besieged it. When Xu and Sun fought for the second time, they gradually became unable to support it. At the critical juncture, Luo Changhu, Tan Bacui and others led an army of 3,000 and entered from the flank.

Once the general trend is gone, Bai Yanhu and Aikemu Khan will not be entangled, and the two of them will each lead a piece, fight their way out of the encirclement, and escape.

Luo, Xu, and Sun pursued and killed for more than ten miles, returned to Turpan, appeased Tu Wei and Entangled the Hui Zhu surrender army, and named Admiral Xu Zhanbiao found the Anmu horse people and asked for money and food.

Luo Changhu contempted and said: Zuo Shuai has an order, don't ask for money!

Xu Zhanbiao said: It is not my use, I have been fighting for many years, and my department has suffered many casualties, and the right is missing as a pension for the dead.

Within half a month, both over the Tianshan Mountains and conquered the three cities, Zong Tang was overjoyed, and said: The minister planned to send troops to southern Xinjiang last year, and when the three roads advanced at the same time, it was a thief who prepared more strength, and he would not be embellished. During the period when Zhang Yao and Xu Zhanbiao's armies were enterprising, when each of them took the distance of the defense station as the priority, Liu Jintang must determine the division period at his discretion, and the distance was appropriate, so that they would not be uneven with each other, which would cause regret.

And Hami to Turpan for more than 1,100 miles, Ba and Gu in the middle of Mujiagou, to reach Turpan, also more than 700 li, not as good as from Urumqi to Turpan through Dabancheng to Turpan only 400 miles faster.

As soon as Zhang Yao and Xu Zhanbiao heard that Liu Jintang had a period of marching, they rushed to their respective defense stations. After the fifth day of the first month of March, he conquered the city card, went to Rongji, and died on the 13th with Liu Jintang's troops at the same time as the two cities of Turpan and Han.

In terms of war, it seems that the miracle of Daban and Tuoxun is not as good; And the fruit of breaking the enemy, the speed of going to the plane, is beyond the wishes of the real microministers. If it is not for the soldiers to actively use their lives, its effect cannot be achieved.

Zong Tang finished playing and sent a letter to Liu Jintang: The horse people are the leaders of the Kokand people, and they will surrender when they see the official army, not only in Mengwei. None of this is significant. However, Admiral Xu will want to ask him for foreign money, and he is as confused as Suzhou talking to Ma Si, which seems to be very annoying. The canal was tired of hearing the correct theory, and it was planned to be discarded for a long time, so there were only five battalions left in the department, and he was seriously injured many times, so he did not reprimand.

To the march, not to suppress and appease, to get what they want and willing to get Haoyi, Bai Rebellion and their sworn friends; There is no reason for the soil to be affected. When the younger brother planned to enter the South Road last year, he repeatedly showed the army that in addition to respecting the place and Songwu, the Shu army also tried to be earnest. This time, Meng Wei and Admiral Sun of Lang Zhai's subordinates could understand that there were arsons and troops harassing and plundering in Dukun Mountain. Now Lei Zhenzhi has been entrusted to do things such as the aftermath of Fusui, but in fact, he also inspects the ears of the Shu army.

The army marched westward, and the Kunshan Department stayed in Turpan, which could be withdrawn one after another in the future. Lang Zhai has a clear heart, and he wants to make contributions to the Western Regions, and he is unwilling to stay, so he should be ordered and entered the ear.
