On the eighth day of July, the Third Regiment of the Guards Division, with the assistance of the First Regiment of the Cavalry Division, captured Weiyuan Fort, killed 760 people under the guard Daha, and captured more than 800 Qing soldiers, rescuing the Wu army.
There are 4,120 young people in the old department.【】
On the ninth day of July, the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th regiments of the rearguard division were ordered to advance into Dashewula. Along the way, they rescued and returned to the old Wu army and more than 10,000 Yunnanese people.
On the tenth day of July, Zhao Qiang led seven regiments of the Guards Division, the entire cavalry division and the Third Guards Regiment, a total of 23,400 troops, to Ningguta. Along the way, they captured more than 30 Qing army strongholds and towns, killing and injuring Qing.
With more than 600 troops, they rescued 14,000 Wu's old troops and Yunnan people, and captured more than 3,200 people of all ethnic groups.
On July 11, the reserve division discovered a Qing army coming from the direction of Shengjing. It was led by a soldier and more than 400 civilians. The team hauled six "general cannons." Wuer Leng immediately
Three brigades were ordered to surround the Qing army. After a fierce battle, the Qing army was completely annihilated at the cost of more than 200 casualties. The six "generals" were dragged back to Shangyang Fort and sent flying horses to pass the news to the army.
After Zhao Qiang heard the news, he immediately sent an order to Wuer Leng, asking him to quickly send people to transport the cannon to the army in preparation for the capture of Ninggu Pagoda.
……………
Guan Ning's army went out in all directions without concealing its tracks. The outpost cavalry often collided with the Qing army's reconnaissance cavalry. Since the main force of Guan Ning's army directly drove towards Ning Guta on the 10th day of the lunar month, the large and small towns and strongholds within a hundred miles of Ning Guta were
Everyone has been informed to evacuate to Ninggu Pagoda.
After the personnel withdrew, all the town strongholds were burned to the ground by fire, leaving no house for the thieves to rest in, no grain of rice for the thieves to eat, and all the wells were contaminated with feces or completely blocked.
In the Ninggu Pagoda, all the Qing troops were already wearing armor, and they were only waiting for the general's order to leave the city to quell the chaos. However, within three days, there was no order from the general to come out, so they only ordered the governor's Yamen to send out all their troops to guard the city day and night, and
Strictly check common people and bannermen entering and leaving the city to prevent spies from sneaking in.
Wu Ni and more than 10,000 criminals and criminals were all sent out of the city to the farmland outside the city to harvest crops. Business travelers in the city were not allowed to leave the city anymore.
After the first batch of sentinels who explored the north came back, people in Ningguta City were panicked and fearful. Rumors spread, some said that the red-haired Rakshasa ghosts from the north had come, and some said that Wu Sangui's old troops had returned.
There was a rebellion, and some said it was the Mongols who were making trouble. No one can tell the truth, but one thing is certain, that is, the rebels have occupied many places and killed many bannermen.
They are heading towards Ninggu Pagoda. Tomorrow at the latest, these thieves will be approaching the city.
Some wealthy officials in the city had already asked their servants to pack up their belongings and prepare to flee to Shengjing. They asked people to go to Jiangjun Yamen and Dutong Yamen everywhere in order to get them to escape from the city.
Everyone inside the general's yamen was also anxious. From time to time, generals hurried in and out with extremely uneasy expressions. Outside the yamen, there were people standing on both sides on both sides of the general's yamen, including retired military officials and bannermen. Whenever someone came out, they would pull him and ask questions.
They asked around and blocked the entrance. It was not until the Yamen sent troops to drive them away that they drove the crowd 200 meters away.
The meeting hall in the General's Mansion was already full of people, and the pen-posters in the corridor sent in the latest military information received from time to time.
"The vanguard of Guan Ning's army of 1,500 troops has advanced to our Gergesa River!"
"The three towns of Dinghua, Kailing and Liaoping were all lost!"
"The thieves divided their forces and sent out in four directions. Thousands of people broke away from the main group and went to beat the animals at Ula. Because the thieves were separated, Fa sent people to beat the animals at Ula to warn them."
"There are many thieves and cavalry, and they have excellent firearms. Every time we fight, the thieves will harass our army with firearms, and then use cavalry to make sudden kills. They use both infantry and cavalry to win every time."
"Any news from Heilongjiang, it is preliminary confirmed that the entire territory has fallen into the hands of thieves."
Listening to the news everywhere, Ningguta General Bahai's forehead was so wrinkled that he couldn't wrinkle anymore. In his entire life as a soldier, he had never been as worried as he was today. The map of the case had been turned over by him again and again, and every time he heard something
When land is lost, people will circle it. Now the picture is a dense black circle, which makes people feel worried.
"The Northern Expedition Army is definitely over. We can no longer count on them. General, please give the order to go to war immediately. The last general is willing to be the vanguard!" This is the fourth time Guo Tai has asked for war, but he was suppressed by Ba Hai the previous three times.
Come down.
"This Guanning rebel army is mainly composed of Wu Ni, and there are also Rakshasa soldiers. It is conceivable that the Rakshasa people and Wu Ni must have colluded with each other to invade the Qing Dynasty." Deputy General Ta Shike saw Guo Tai asking for a fight, and also
He stood up and said: "But we, Ning Guta, have thousands of Eight Banners troops. Although the bandit army has tens of thousands of people, they are just a mob. They suddenly broke out before and succeeded one after another. Now that our army is on guard, we only need to mobilize our best troops."
, they will be defeated! General, without further ado, the main force of the rebel army is now coming towards our Ninggu Pagoda. It is better to use all our elites to fight the enemy decisively and decide in one battle. Otherwise, if the rebel army is allowed to invade various places, we will not be able to cooperate with the imperial court.
explain."
"I believe that what Guo Tai and Ta Shike said is absolutely true. The bandit army is just a ragtag group. As soon as the elite of our Eight Banners come out, they will be defeated."
Fu Xili, the commander-in-chief of Ninggu Pagoda, also agreed to send troops to quell the rebellion immediately, otherwise all his flag fields would be destroyed by the rebels.
Bahai thought for a moment and suddenly called out: "Is Fuluoluo here?"
"The humble position is here!"
When Fuluoluo, the military commander who had been waiting outside the door, heard the general calling him, he hurriedly entered the room and knelt down to salute.
"Fu Luoluo, have you found out the relationship between Guan Ningjun and Wu Ni in the North?"
"Back to the general, the person responsible for contacting Wu Ni in the North is Zuoling Baxang. His humble position asked him to send three groups of people there, but none of them could come back. I am afraid that Wu Ni in the North and Guan Ning
The rebels should be of the same people."
After listening to what Fuloluo said, Bahai couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "Raising thieves to be arrogant, raising thieves to be arrogant!"
Upon seeing this, Deputy Governor Guo Erluote hurriedly said: "Sir, are you ready to report the emergency to the court?"
"No need!" Bahai waved his hand decisively: "It's not too late to report to the court after I, the general, lead his men to pacify them!"
Upon hearing this, Guo Erluo said anxiously: "General, this is inappropriate!"
"What's wrong?" Bahai gave Gorlot an unhappy look.
"If these Wu Ni are really from the North, then things will be in trouble." Gorlot hesitated and decided to tell the truth, "If we don't report to the court immediately, even if the general leads his army to pacify these Wu Ni,
But I’m afraid that the charge of capitalizing on the enemy will not go away afterwards.”
"Supporting the enemy?" Bahai was stunned, and then he was excited. Yes, in order to drive these Wu Ni to fight against the Rakshasa people, he funded them a batch of ordnance. Now these Wu Ni are openly rebelling, so he is not supporting the enemy.
What is.
The fact that I suppressed the rebellion of Wu Nibei's fugitive officer was already a big deal. If someone reports him as someone who is an enemy, I will definitely not be safe this night, and I am afraid that Xiang's head will not be safe either.
Thinking of this, Bahai hurriedly said to Guo Erluote: "You must send people to Beijing to report to the court about Wu Ni's rebellion! He said that we, Ning Guta, have sent troops to quell the rebellion. Please rest assured, the court and the emperor, I, Bahai, will definitely
We can wipe out the Wu rebel army in one fell swoop!"
"twitter!"
Guo Erlot responded and was about to go down. Bahai pondered for a moment, but stopped him and sighed: "In addition, report to the court that the Northern Expedition army was defeated and the whereabouts of the commander Peng Chun is unknown."
"After listening to the order, all the generals will immediately mobilize their eight elite banners and follow my general to fight against the traitors! This general will make the Gergesa River red with the blood of the traitors!"
"twitter!"
Everyone in the hall was feeling incredible, shocked and saddened by the destruction of the Northern Expeditionary Army. When they heard that the general was about to go to war, they were all excited, stood up one after another, and unanimously agreed.
