Chapter 891 Never Compromise
As the Qing army brigade rushed into the city, the overall situation of this battle can be said to be basically settled, but it does not mean that the war has stopped. In fact, the fierce battle has just begun, and Tibetans who are unwilling to lose The army desperately launched a counterattack, even though its main general was killed by Zhao Shuo as soon as the battle started, but not only did the various Tibetan troops not disperse, but they fought bloody battles with the Qing army like madmen. Of course, under the powerful Qing army In the face of firepower, the desperate resistance of the Tibetan army was nothing more than a desperate struggle. Even if it relied on the complicated terrain to fight the Qing army in street fighting, it could not stop the attack of the Qing army's two street fighting weapons, hand grenades and revolvers, and retreated steadily. At that time, more than [-] remnants of the remnant retreated into the city guard's mansion, making the last dying resistance.

"Report to the Brigadier Commander that all parts of the city have been wiped out. More than [-] remnants of bandits have retreated to the city guard's mansion, holding hundreds of people hostage and hiding in it. Commander Wang dare not do anything special, please give instructions to the Brigadier Commander."

Although Ke Luntai had already entered the city, he did not intervene in the battles of the various regiments, nor did he participate in the battle, nor did he even pay attention to the sound of gunfire and fighting all over the city. A large military map was displayed in the city gate, and the follow-up battle plan was deduced expressionlessly. There is nothing else like this. Ke Luntai has absolute confidence in the ability of his soldiers, and he is not worried at all that the Tibetan army will be able to win the battle. There was a storm, but I never thought that the accident would still happen. Just as Ke Luntai frowned and pondered, a messenger hurriedly rushed into the city gate, heading towards Ke Luntai with a standard blow, and immediately Hurriedly, he reported a sentence.

"Oh? Take a look!"

Hearing this, Ke Luntai frowned, but instead of asking for details, he stood up abruptly and strode out...

"The Brigadier is here!"

Banuan Sanchuanying is only a small town, and its area is naturally not large, but the city guard mansion located in the center of the city is not small. In addition to the main hall, there are four courtyards, and there is a back garden attached, covering an area of There are more than [-] acres of huge land. It used to be a fortified place where no one was allowed to enter, but now it has become a messy den of thieves. More than [-] Tibetan soldiers hid in it and took hundreds of residents of the city as hostages. The Qing army confronted the Qing army at the top of the wall. Although Zhao Shuo, the head of the first regiment, Guan Mingfu, the head of the second regiment, and He Rong, the head of the third regiment, had each led their troops to besiege the Chengshoufu regiments, but facing the besieged Tibetan army, they never stopped. It was difficult to make up the determination to attack by force, and they were arguing endlessly about it, but they heard a shout from behind the battle, and the three of them couldn't care less about discussing it, and turned back in unison in a hurry, and greeted Ke Luntai.

"What's going on? Why didn't you attack, huh?"

Before Zhao Shuo and the others could greet him, Ke Luntai asked with a gloomy expression.

"Report to the brigade commander, the thieves put the people on the top of the wall, facing each other with swords and guns, the last general waited for fear of hurting the people, so he had to suspend the attack, please give instructions to the brigade commander!"

Seeing that Ke Luntai's expression was wrong, Zhao Shuo and the others dared not ignore it. After looking at each other, Zhao Shuo let Zhao Shuo explain.

"Call Tashi Mucuo and tell him to shout inside that anyone who puts down his arms and surrenders will be forgiven."

Ke Luntai ignored Zhao Shuo and the others, and glanced in the direction of the city guard's mansion. Seeing that a dozen women and children had been hijacked on the wall by the Tibetan army, his already frowning brows were even more frowning, slightly After pondering for a moment, he gave the order in a slightly cold voice.

"It's useless, Brigadier Commander, the last general has already told Zhaxi Mucuo to yell at him before, and what he said was the same meaning. Not only did the gangsters inside not surrender, they even killed several hostages, saying that if our army does not withdraw from Ba Nuan The Sanchuan Camp will definitely kill all the people in the mansion, and the last general has no choice but to stop the attack."

Just as Ke Luntai finished speaking, Zhao Shuo explained with a wry smile.

"Let Zhaxi Mucuo speak out again, saying that our army agrees to let them leave the city safely, and there is only one condition, to ensure that the lives of our people will not be hindered."

Hearing this, Ke Luntai fell silent, and after a long time, he gave the order again.

"twitter!"

When Ke Luntai made this order, Zhao Shuo didn't dare to neglect him, he hurriedly responded, strode to the side, dragged Tashi Mucuo out, explained it in a rambling manner, and stayed on the sidelines A guide who wrote the book translated what Zhao Shuo said into Tibetan.

"Listen to the people inside, the general has the virtue of being good at life. As long as you let the people go, you can let you leave the Ba Nuan Sanchuan camp, and you will never pursue after the incident. The general keeps his word and gives you time to think about it. "

As soon as he heard the order from Keluntai, Tashi Mucuo didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, and hurried to the front of the Qing army formation, yelling at the Tibetan army at the top of the city with a loud voice.

"Zhaxi Mucuo, you damn soft-boned, don't lie to me with false words, my sons, how dare the Qinggou not leave the city, and chop off a few more heads, so that the Qinggou can take a look!"

Zhaxi Mucuo had just finished yelling, when a rough voice sounded from inside, and he brazenly gave the order to kill the hostages without any scruples, and immediately saw several Tibetan soldiers on the wall swiping their knives, and four of them were framed on the wall. Even if the heads of the women and children on the wall were beheaded, what made the officers and soldiers of the Qing army even more angry was that this gang of Tibetan soldiers killed the hostages, and even threw the bloody heads to the Qing army formation. The head bounced and landed in front of the formation. Seeing this, the officers and soldiers of the Qing army all cursed angrily.

"Brigade Commander, the thieves are rampant, strike!"

Seeing four more hostages being killed, Guan Ming, the head of the second regiment, couldn't bear it anymore, and yelled with a livid face.

"Brigadier, you can't fight. The life and death of the people are at stake. If we wait for a move, the people will be unlucky. If this matter is reported back to the capital, it will inevitably be framed by villains. It is better to monitor this place first, and wait until the teacher arrives. draw conclusions."

He Rong, the leader of the third regiment, is He Min's third younger brother. He is cautious by nature. He insisted on besieging and not attacking before. He was not only concerned about the life and death of the people, but also worried that this matter would be used by villains in the court, even if it was also used by the Tibetan army. He was very angry about the brutality, but he still insisted on not attacking.

"Brigade Commander can't wait any longer. If our army fails to stabilize the situation in the city in time, once the thieves from Xining arrive, the consequences will be unimaginable. Brigadier Commander, you can order!"

Seeing that Ke Luntai hadn't made a decision for a long time, the group leader Zhao Shuo also became anxious, stomped his feet, and impatiently suggested a word from the side.

"Use a cluster grenade to blow open the gate and let Lao Tzu break in. All the Tibetan bandits will not be left behind. I will bear the consequences myself!"

Time waits for no one, and the military plane cannot be delayed. After taking a deep breath, Ke Luntai finally made his final decision.

"Boom, boom..."

At the command of Ke Luntai's general, several soldiers tied up the long-handled grenades with cloth strips, and the machine gunners suppressed the Tibetan archers on both sides of the gate, rushed to the gate, and pulled the fuzed bundle The grenade was thrown at the gate, and amidst a series of explosions, the two seemingly thick gates were blown to pieces.

"Rush in for me, leave no one alive, kill!"

Before the smoke of the cluster grenade exploded, Zhao Shuo let out a wild roar and took the lead in charging. Immediately, hundreds of soldiers of the Qing army rushed into the city guard mansion shouting, their sabers and revolvers marching together to fight against the stubbornly resisting soldiers. The soldiers of the Tibetan army strangled into a group. The battle was fierce and fierce from the very beginning. The casualties on both sides were not small. The most pitiful thing was the people who were taken as hostages.

"Report to the brigade commander that all the remnants of the enemy have been wiped out, and there is no survivor. Forty of our troops were killed in battle, 32 were injured, and the civilians... More than [-] civilians were killed and injured."

Although the officers and soldiers of the Tibetan army had resisted desperately, they were much inferior to the Qing army in terms of weapons, equipment and tactical quality, and their strength was not superior. The tragic battle only lasted for more than a quarter of an hour. The whole army ended in annihilation. Zhao Shuo, who led the attack, hurriedly counted the casualties of his own soldiers and civilians, and ran out of the city guard mansion in a hurry, heading towards Ke Luntai with a standard strike, with a tone of voice He reported the results of the battle in a low voice.

"Well..., I see, all the ministries will immediately go to the city to garrison to guard against the counterattack of the bandit army from Xining. In addition, send a letter to Lanzhou, saying that our army has successfully captured the Sanchuan Battalion of Ba Nuan and reported all the battles here. Report to go up!"

Hearing the heavy casualties of the common people, Ke Luntai's eyes darkened immediately, but he didn't comment on it, he just let out a sigh of relief, and then gave the order solemnly.

"Brigade Commander, the battle of the city guard..."

Hearing Ke Luntai's order, Zhao Shuodang was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly tried to ask half of the words.

"Report it, don't hide anything, go!"

Although Zhao Shuo didn't finish what he said, Ke Luntai understood what he had to say, even though he frowned, he didn't get angry, and just ordered in a slightly cold voice.

"twitter!"

Since Ke Luntai had already said that, Zhao Shuo didn't dare to say any more, so he hurriedly responded, and then went to discuss related matters without mentioning it. After a while, he saw a guide holding his head up The eagle landed on the top of the city, and with a wave of its arms, the goshawk spread its wings and flew high into the sky. After circling around the top of the city, it quickly flew to the southeast...

"Report, brigade commander Ke sent an urgent letter!"

At noon, on the bank of the Yellow River, large troops were still nervously crossing the river. Yue Zhongqi, He Min, and Yan Xin, who had already crossed the river, were chatting with each other. Suddenly, a cavalry rushed from the direction of Lanzhou City. He rushed over, rolled the saddle off the horse neatly, took advantage of the situation and hit a thousand, and hurriedly reported.

"Oh?"

Hearing that it was an urgent letter from Ke Luntai, Yue Zhongqi didn't dare to ignore it, hurriedly took a step forward, stretched out her hand to take the small brass pipe held in the hand of the reporter, and swiftly twisted the handle on it. Hidden buckle, a roll of paper full of words was poured out from the inside, spread out, and after a quick glance, his expression suddenly became strange.

"What's the matter? Um..."

Seeing Yue Zhongqi's expression was wrong, He Minke lost his composure, hurriedly stretched his head over, glanced at the report, and his expression also became strange...
