Chapter 554 tug of war

The heads of the Qing soldiers who were beheaded at Guazhoudu, as well as the captured military supplies were transported across the river and piled up in front of the Zhenjiang government office. More than a dozen Tartar captives knelt in the middle with shackles for the gentry and common people. The officers and soldiers who came to reinforce visited.

He Tengjiao publicized to the outside world that the battle to recover Guazhou was an out-and-out victory in which the officers and soldiers wiped out the Qing army at Dukou and killed thousands of enemies. Our army only had hundreds of casualties.

In an instant, Zhenjiang was boiling, and the gentry and common people lit firecrackers to celebrate. He Tengjiao personally rewarded Wang Yan for his support of the Japanese army.

Captured and Tartar captives were shown in Zhenjiang before being transported to Nanjing. The states and counties they passed along the way were all boiling, which to a certain extent revived the hearts and morale of the people.

On the day when the prisoner-offering team arrived in Nanjing, Zhu Cihong went to check in person. After seeing the heads of several large chariots and more than a dozen real Tartars, he knew that although He Tengjiao had falsely reported his military exploits, he had killed at least a thousand enemies, so he felt relieved. Some.

For a while, the city of Nanjing was also jubilant.

Soon, the real situation of the Battle of Guazhou came to Nanjing.

It was a Wei Wu army from Huguang who made great contributions. The Japanese army was just a fight, and the gains were not as much as He Tengjiao reported. There were only more than 2000 people. The remaining Qing army managed to escape. The death and injury of the Ming army were not One hundred, but more than 800 people.

The real situation was reported by Wang Yan, but only Zhu Cihong, He Tengjiao and a few high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty knew about it, and it was impossible for the common people and other officials and soldiers to know about it.

Guazhou Ferry, beside the river beach, was cold and windy. Gao Chengxun led his soldiers and stood in front of more than a dozen piles of firewood.

On the firewood are the corpses of the soldiers of the Wei Wu Army, all of whom died in the battle to recover Guazhou.More than a dozen men were shot by arrows in front of them, and died on the way to charge forward, and none of them were cowards.

Vice Admiral Gao Chengxun poured a bowl of wine on the ground and said loudly, "Brothers, have a good journey!"

Man Dazhuang led people to ignite the piles of firewood, and more than a dozen piles of great fires immediately ignited on the river beach.

Hundreds of veterans stared at the flames, and couldn't help but began to sing: "The wind and smoke are billowing and singing heroes, and the green hills around you are listening, listening. On a sunny day, the thunder beats the golden drum, and the sea waves make harmony. Death is peace. Why is the battle flag beautiful and picturesque, and the blood of the soldiers stained it red. Why is spring always on the earth, and the life of heroes blooms~~~”

The Japanese soldiers who were building fortifications in the distance, as well as Gao Yiqi's troops, couldn't help but stood up one after another and looked at Jiangtan. Both Wang Yan and Gao Yiqi had complicated faces.

With the fire out, officers began collecting the ashes, which they wrapped in cloth strips.

Wei Wujun has regulations. Under normal circumstances, whose soldiers are all the soldiers, who will carry them. Several team leaders and whistle chiefs carry a few cloth bags on their backs on their backs until they return to Huguang and hand them over to their families.

Guazhoudu was taken back by the Ming army, but the war is not over, and a new offensive and defensive battle will come soon.

In the battle to recapture Guazhou, the strength displayed by the soldiers of the Wei Wu Army convinced the rookies on Nanming's side.

It is easy to win Guazhou, but it is not easy to hold it.How to defend Guazhou was commanded by Wang Yan in name, but the people who actually made the specific arrangements were the generals and veterans of Wei Wujun.

It's useless to brag about your qualifications or your background on the battlefield. To convince people, you still have to talk about your strength.

Although the Praise Japanese Army was the central forbidden army recruited by Zhu Cihong, he was completely convinced by Wei Wujun who was born as a local bandit.

On the front line of Guazhou, the old soldier of Wei Wujun ordered the brothers holding the Japanese army to dig trenches, build low walls, arrange horses, sprinkle barbed wire, and use all available tricks for him.

I don't know when it started, every veteran of the Wei Wu Army was always followed by a few generals who praised the Japanese army.

Regardless of whether it is a small banner, a general banner, or even a hundred households, they are all polite in front of the old soldiers, but the old soldiers are very aggressive and ignore these officers and soldiers who want to steal their teachers, but these officers and soldiers obviously After receiving instructions, no matter what expression the old soldier made, they all smiled and were never angry.

The counterattack of the Qing army came faster and more violently than expected.

After the Ming army recaptured Guazhou, Jiang Shui Division immediately organized a group of fleets, rushed into Yangzhou along the canal, sent a batch of military supplies to the city, and thousands of reinforcements.

This made Azige furious, beheaded the traitor who had fled back, and immediately let Xu Dingguo take back Guazhou.

The next day Xu Dingguo personally supervised the battle and commanded thousands of rebels to attack Guazhou wave after wave.

The Ming army resisted the attack of the rebels by relying on the fortifications they built. Gao Chengxun sent a ship of firearms from Zhenjiang, boxes of throwing thunderbolts, and a defense line composed of ditches, low walls, repelling horses, and barbed wire. Let the rebels hit their heads badly.

At dusk, the rebels dropped thousands of corpses and retreated.

The gang leader carried rice and hot dishes and came to the front line to serve the soldiers.

An old soldier of Wei Wujun sat behind the low wall, and a hundred household officer holding the Japanese army brought a bowl of rice covered with fat, and said with a smile: "Brother, it's time to eat!"

As he said that, he sat down next to him, picked up the chicken leg from his own bowl and put it in the old soldier's bowl, and said with a smile: "Come on, brother, eat another chicken leg!"

The old pawn finally smiled, and the two chatted while eating. The old pawn began to talk about his glorious deeds. He taught Baihu some battlefield skills from time to time, which opened Baihu's eyes.

After Xu Dingguo was beaten back, he ate Azig's military stick, forcing the traitor to do his best, and the ensuing battle became more intense.

Although under the guidance of Gao Chengxun, the Ming army built quite complete fortifications, it could not withstand the attack of the Qing army regardless of casualties.

In the end, the front line of Guazhou launched a fierce hand-to-hand combat. Both sides kept increasing their troops and engaged in life-changing fights.

After many days of war, the Ming army withstood the attacks of the rebels and fought repeatedly with the rebels.

Ten days later, the troops and horses brought by Gao Yizhen were disabled and retreated across the river to rest. The original battalion number was cancelled, and the remaining soldiers and horses were annexed by the Japanese army.

Wang Yan sent thousands of soldiers over to take over the defense, but they were soon disabled again.

The defenders at Guazhou Ferry changed a few waves, but whenever they charged, there would still be a non-standard Henan accent on the battlefield, "Guisun, I'm going to fuck your old lady!"

During the many days of fighting, the Qing army fought against Wei Wu's army many times. Knowing that a Wei Wu army was stationed in Guazhou, whenever they heard someone yelling "Guisun", their morale would definitely be demoralized.

But when an army that traveled thousands of miles from Guangxi came to the battlefield, every time it charged, there was another voice.

These soldiers from Guangxi were short in stature, but they were very capable. When fighting, they charged and "threw your mother." They were as fierce as the soldiers of Wei Wujun.

Gao Chengxun was also surprised when he saw it, so he wrote a letter that night and sent it to Henan.
