One hundred and fiftieth chapters Dingyuan battle thirty
"What did you say? The living King of Hell of Songshan Castle is right under my nose?"
"Yes, division commander, my subordinates are definitely not wrong. The people in that village are the Baerhu people. I am far away. That old bastard Yu Long is in the village!"
Yan Qian was sure that he was not wrong. The old man who walked around the village every afternoon was Fe Long. When he was in Songshan Fort, he would see this old man hanging in front of him every day, so he believed that Fe Long turned into ashes.
He can recognize him.【】
It took no effort to find a place through iron shoes. If Yan Qian hadn't led people to conquer the small tribes around Yask, Zhao Qiang really didn't expect that the Barhu people in the north were hiding under his nose. Hehe, interesting
, Interesting, Wei Long, Wei Long, why don’t you run away? You are hiding under my nose so openly. Do you think that my eyes and ears, Zhao Qiang’s, are really out of order?
Thinking of that old bastard Weilong using himself as a spearman when he was in Songshan Fort, and then backing them up, expecting Zhao Qiang and Wu Ni to attract the attention of the Qing army for the Barhu people, Zhao Qiang became furious.
If Qi Zhuang hadn't arrived in time during the battle at Erling, he would have been almost killed by the Qing army. We had to settle the score with him.
What Zhao Qiang hates most in his life is that when he takes advantage of others, he completely falls into the other party's plan. The matter of the Songshan Fort Guards is completely a conspiracy of Yu Long. Unfortunately, he has been thinking about how to use the guards to do something from the beginning to the end.
In the end, he almost died. This account must be settled, otherwise it would be a waste of time. Zhao Qiang smiled and asked Yan Qian: "How many people are there?"
Yan Qian made some calculations and affirmed: "Thousands of people."
"Send the order, the Yask security team has temporarily formed the second battalion of the Han army, and the Cossack team has assembled!" Zhao Qiang walked out of the house without saying a word: "The leader of this division will personally meet with the King of Hell to settle accounts with him!
"
…………
Barhu Village is located in a valley forty miles northeast of Yask. The people Zhao Qiang brought to the crusade were all infantry. Only his own guards and Cossacks had dozens of horses, so they did not arrive at Barhu until the afternoon of the next day.
Stockade.
The Yask Security Team and the temporary Han Army's Second Battalion have little combat effectiveness. Against the Russian Musketeers, they will probably be defeated at the first touch. However, Zhao Qiang has a good chance of winning against the Barhu people who only have a thousand people.
The Barhu people only have three to four hundred men at best, so there is nothing to worry about, not to mention the 300 Russian prisoners of war from the Cossacks. Facts have proved that under the almost brutal treatment of the Cossacks, those Russian soldiers did not have the courage to resist.
Most of them were submissive and silently endured the oppression of them by the Cossacks. In obeying orders, the Russian Guanning soldiers in this team performed no worse than soldiers of other ethnic groups in other regiments. This may be because they had the courage to fight against the Guanning soldiers.
The fact that most of the Russian bandits died in battle has a lot to do with it. The soldiers who surrendered and were captured naturally have a fear of the victors, and the former Wu Army's old troops were not the same. If it weren't for the continuous victory and the threat of death that stimulated them to survive.
I'm afraid I still can't stand a fight with my instinct.
Tokolosky, the city guard of Guri River City, is also in the Cossacks, and his loyal servant Aleer has been recruited to the westward detachment to serve as a civilian husband. Now, he no longer has any dignity and authority as an officer, and Chekov and others
Similarly, the original Russian officers were treated with special emphasis by the Cossacks. All their dignity was trampled to the ground by the Cossacks, leaving only their bodies. Together with Dingyuan City, Yask and other places, there were nine people serving in the army.
The officers, with one exception, all became pitiable, and even the former Musketeers' subordinates would bully them from time to time. But they were miserable and had to smile at each other every day, not daring to show any dissatisfaction, because the Cossacks
They had already experienced the cruelty, and the officers swore they never wanted to experience that kind of pain again.
Zhao Qiang was aware of the Cossacks' behavior towards Russian prisoners, but he did not stop him. On the contrary, he praised the Cossack captain Grievsky in every possible way, praised him for his contribution to the Guan Ning Army, and affirmed that he had joined the Guan Ning Army.
For all his performance, he was also given high gold and silver rewards. The Russian women captured later were also assigned to 30 Cossack soldiers in the Cossack team. Wealth, women, status, everything Zhao Qiang could give was given to the Cossacks.
Some officers also criticized his "partiality", but after hearing the division commander's lofty words of "using barbarians to defeat barbarians", they all applauded him.
Grifsky and his companions were very grateful to the Guan Ning Army for their gift. As the Guan Ning Army became more and more powerful, they had changed from passive followers to proactive ones. Some Cossacks even wanted to
They obtained high positions in the Guanning Army because they felt that becoming a senior officer in the Guanning Army seemed to be a very good job. The fact that Mongolians, Saurons, and Daurs successively served as senior officers gave these Cossacks a lot of
They firmly believe that serving in this army is much better than serving under Russian pigs. Grievsky once represented all the Cossack sergeants and fully expressed his feelings for the Guanning Army with a few sentences in Chinese that he learned.
And loyalty to Zhao Qiang himself.
But what is intriguing is that Russian officers and soldiers who serve as instructors in other regiments and in teaching brigades receive certain preferential treatment. The large-scale abuse of Russian prisoners that occurred in the Cossacks did not occur in other regiments, and these incidents
The Russians also learned about what happened to the Cossacks through some "rumors", and when the hateful Cossacks were discussed, the officers did not intervene to stop them.
The reason for this situation is that Zhao Qiang is doing two jobs, one is strengthening the loyalty of the Cossacks. The more brutal they behave towards the Russians, the more they can only be tied to the Guan Ning Army, and they have to worry about them.
On the other hand, Zhao Qiang wanted to spread the "bad" behavior of the Cossacks to the ears of all Russians and let them understand the shame and evil of the Cossacks, because Zhao Qiang believed that as long as a few Russian soldiers could be "lucky"
If they escape back, the Cossacks in other strongholds will be strongly questioned by the Russians. If this low-level alienation tactic succeeds, the huge Cossack mercenaries entrenched in the Lake Baiga area will become friends of Guan Ning's army instead of
enemy.
Let them fight the devil! This is Zhao Qiang's tone towards the Russians and Cossacks.
……………
When arriving at the Barhu people's village, Zhao Qiang directly asked the Cossacks to drive to the village gate, but did not let them attack immediately, because Zhao Qiang felt that he needed to play a cat-and-mouse game to retaliate against Wei Long's attack on him at Songshan Fort.
What you do.
Grifsky understood the meaning of the division commander, and drove the troops uprightly to the village of the Barhu people. Under the horrified eyes of the other party, they slowly lined up. The officers also rode horses and ran back and forth in front of the village, shouting loudly.
He shouted, not at all afraid that the Barhu people in the village would shoot their cold arrows.
"Chief, Rakshasa, Rakshasa!"
"The Rakshasas are coming!"
When the Cossacks appeared in the Barhu people's village, the village was in chaos. The long-term fear of the Rakshasa people made the Barhu people unable to accept the fact that hundreds of Rakshasa people suddenly came outside the village. The men hurriedly went to lock them down.
At the gate of the village, the women were so frightened that they hid in the house with their children in their arms and blocked the door with all the objects that could hold it up. It seemed that only in this way could they feel safe and relax.
I was discussing with Zalle and others about sending people to the south to buy some salt. After hearing the screams outside, my whole body felt like an electric shock. I opened the door tremblingly and opened the door to Zarle and others.
He was helped down to the village gate. In two or three months, Weilong seemed to have aged a lot. His beard was originally a little black, but now it was completely white. His steps were also much smaller, as if he was dying when the wind blew.
It can be average.
After arriving at the gate of the village, he looked at the Rakshasa people lining up outside. Weilong was stunned for a moment, but his heart settled down, because he thought that if the Rakshasa people were just to kill people, they would have rushed in long ago and would not stay in the village at all.
Outside the door. They did this only to prove that they were not here to kill people.
As long as the other party doesn't kill anyone, everything else will be easy to handle. After thinking about it for a while, Yi Long took a few steps forward and shouted in a hoarse voice: "What do you want, military masters? Just ask, my people will definitely be able to do it."
Military lords raise funds." He was accustomed to calling Rakshasa people the same as Qing soldiers, they were both military lords.
"Yilong, don't be sick."
What surprised Yi Long was that the Rakshasa people on the opposite side did not reply, but another group of troops suddenly came from a distance, and a familiar voice came from the distance.
Han people? Hearing the voices of Han people here, Wei Long was a little surprised. He followed the sound and couldn't help but be startled. Wasn't the person in front Wu Ni and Zhao Qiang from Songshan Fort?
"What? You don't recognize me anymore?"
Zhao Qiang smiled and walked to the front of the Cossack team, looked at the surprised Wei Long, and pretended to be surprised: "We meet old friends, why doesn't Manager Wei say hello?"
"You're not dead yet?"
Wei Long felt that he was dreaming. Zhao Qiang, the Han man, could actually stand in front of the Rakshasa people and talk to him, and the Rakshasa people seemed to be very afraid of Zhao Qiang. When did the Rakshasa people become afraid of Han dogs?
What made him even more confused was why these Wu Ni appeared here without being chased by the Qing soldiers.
"Of course I'm not dead. Hehe, Steward An's good idea was to point us Wu Ni as the scapegoats. But God and the Steward made a big joke. Not only did I, Mr. Zhao, and a bunch of brothers not
Die, and raise the banner again to revive the great cause of King Pingxi!" As Zhao Qiang spoke, his face suddenly dropped, and he shouted sternly: "Yi Long, listen, this land now belongs to my Guan Ning Army.
The territory, all the people and livestock belong to me, Guan Ning Jun, even the mountains and trees, the birds in the sky, the fish in the water, and the wild beasts in the forest all belong to me, Guan Ning Jun!"
"If you live in our territory, you must obey our commands. Now, I ask you to immediately move all your people to Yask. I guarantee that you will live and work in peace and contentment. If you are not willing, then we can only fight with each other.
!”
Unexpectedly, Zhao Qiang's attitude changed so quickly, his tone was unquestionable, and his murderous intent was not concealed at all. Yilong was dumbfounded and didn't even say a word. Seeing him like this, Zarle and other Barhu people were busy reminding him from behind.
Said: "Clan leader, you can't believe those Han people's lies!"
"We have taken advantage of them, and they will definitely retaliate against us!"
"Han dogs and Rakshasa people are both untrustworthy. If we listen to them, we will definitely be killed by them when we get to Yask."
"We have starved to death many Wu Ni. If we surrender them, wouldn't we be asking for death?"
"Chief, you take the old men, children and women and retreat to the mountains, we will hold them back!"
Zalle is the loudest among the Barhu people and the one with the strongest resistance. As the bravest young man of the clan, he has always been regarded as the best successor to the clan leader. If the clan leader surrenders to these Han people, then
He would lose the chance to inherit the power of the clan leader. He had calculated that there was a mountain behind the village. As long as the clansmen drilled into the mountain, the Han people would be unable to do anything to them. As long as the men could block it for a while, most of the clansmen could escape safely.
.
Zhao Qiang heard the words of the Barhu people opposite, but he did not speak to threaten them anymore. He just looked at Yilong with relish, thinking about his decision. To be honest, Zhao Qiang did not want Yilong to choose a wise surrender, because that would
First of all, his trip was in vain. Originally, there was no need for his division commander to personally deal with a small Barhu tribe. Guard Yan Qian and even officers from the Yask Security Team could come to solve the matter.
The reason why Zhao Qiang wanted to take action personally was because he wanted to vent the bad temper in Songshan Castle. If Yi Long chose to surrender without saying a word, then Zhao Qiang would not have lowered his face and waved the butcher knife at them, which would be a slap in his own face.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. But now that the opportunity for revenge is in front of him, Zhao Qiang cannot be a gentleman. Sometimes, he thinks that he is a complete villain and holds grudges very much. There is no market for a gentleman these days.
If you want to establish your own authority in the Guan Ning Army, it is not enough to be brave and good at fighting. The most important thing is to use blood to build your authority. The blood of the enemy is important, but those ethnic groups who dare to resist are also good targets for establishing authority.
Zhao Qiang brought the temporary second battalion of the Han army this time, and also wanted them to see blood. How can a man who has not seen blood bravely walk on the battlefield and face the battlefield where blood and flesh are everywhere.
"Zarle, gather all the men and prepare to fight!"
After staring at Zhao Qiang for half a stick of incense, Wei Long finally made what he thought was the right decision. The Han people opposite him were not worthy of trust at all!
"Tribesmen, the reason why we fled here from Songshan Fort is to prevent others from oppressing us, but these Han people are coming to oppress us, so we cannot surrender no matter what. Even if we die, we must die with dignity!
"
After the clan leader appeared, all the Barhu men subconsciously came over. In their eyes, the clan leader is not only the head of the clan, but also the backbone of all the Barhu people. With him around, no danger can scare them.
With him here, no matter how terrible the enemy is, you can defeat it!
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
The men wielding bows, arrows, and spears shouted loudly, attracting the attention of Guan Ning's army on the opposite side.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Grifsky requests that all these stupid barbarians be killed!"
"Okay, Commander Grifsky, I don't want to see a living barbarian."
Zhao Qiang breathed a sigh of relief at Wei Long's choice, and the fighting spirit shown by the Baerhu people also made him let go of a lot of guilt. Since they chose to fight, they will fight.
"Warriors, attack!"
At Grifsky's roar, the Cossack officer drove his Russian soldiers to rush towards the gate of the village.
The Cossacks were not equipped with firearms and used cold weapons. In order to suppress the bows and arrows of the Barhu people, Zhao Qiang sent his own guard team. In addition to swords, each of them had a firecracker. In addition, the security team was temporarily composed of Han soldiers.
All the archers of the second battalion of the army were mobilized, and the intensive long-range firepower quickly suppressed the weak resistance of the Barhu people.
Under the attack of more than a dozen Cossack officers on horseback, the simple village gate was opened. When the gate was opened, the Russian soldiers seemed to have returned to the battle to conquer the Qing people. Their instinctive animality made them go crazy. "
He yelled "Aoao" and rushed in, colliding with the charging Barhu people.
"Kill the enemy, kill the enemy!"
Weilong was protected by several tribesmen while retreating, while loudly cheering for those tribesmen who resisted. The elders, children and women in the tribe had already begun to run towards the back mountain, and it was now up to Zalle and the others how long they could hold them back.
"Tough Money"
"My subordinate is here!"
"Have you seen that young man from Balhu?"
"My subordinates are here."
"Go and kill him."
Zhao Qiang glanced coldly at Zarle, who had killed three Russians in a row in the distance, and gave Yan Qian a gesture. Yan Qian nodded heavily, jumped off his horse, and picked up a handful of weapons that he had snatched from the hands of the Qing military commander.
With a long knife, he ran towards Zarle.
After the gate of the village was opened, Zarle knew that he could not stop it. However, in order to give the old people and children enough time to escape, he had to grit his teeth and lead the remaining men to block the incoming Guan Ning army like a tide.
"kill!"
After once again forcing back the two Rakshasa people on the opposite side, Zalle's breathing quickened a little and he was wet with sweat. He saw his best friends, Peng Mu and Wan Shan, who were more than ten meters away, and they were trapped in a tight siege. He hurriedly tried to rescue them. But still
Before he could take a step, he saw a black shadow leaping from the side. Before he could raise the knife to swing it away, he felt a cold feeling in his stomach. When he lowered his head, a long knife had already cut through his stomach, and blood flowed from the seam like a fountain.
Squirted out, and then all the intestines came out
"But even so, I still think your skills are amazing."
The blow was successful, and Zarle, who was still holding the sword in his hand without any money, led his men and rushed in.
After Zalle's death, the resistance of the Barhu people collapsed. Zhao Qiang suppressed the security team and the Han army of the temporary second battalion because he reached the old man and children who were running towards the back mountain.
