Hobusso took Goshha and his clothed minions and galloped on the official roads of the valley. Who knows that he didn't run two miles, but he heard a gunshot, a bullet that came out of nowhere pierced Hebusso's head, a lightning rod helmet flew far away, a bloody sword erupted from the back of the head of the money rat, and Hebusso fell from his horse. The warhorse, which had lost its owner, continued to gallop for a few more steps before stopping.

This is because the trail is close, and the Western Expeditionary Army was originally a mountain soldier who was good at walking mountain roads, so they copied the trail and just grabbed the front of Hobusso. So a rifled gunner opened fire decisively, killing Hobusso.

"Master!" Seeing that his master was shot dead, Goshha and the wrappers turned over and dismounted, stepped forward to hug Hobusso's body and wept bitterly.

There is a rule among the Manchus that if the Lord dies in battle and Goshha can return alive, he must be buried alive for the burial of his master. The clothed minions who followed the master on the expedition were slightly better, but the master died in battle, and the "dereliction of duty" Baoyi could not escape punishment, and could be beheaded, or they could be assigned to Ningguta.

"Kill all the thieves and avenge the master!" One Goshha stood up and removed the bow and arrow from his back.

"Bang" Another shot rang out, and Goshha, who had taken off his bow and arrows and probed his head to look for the attacker, burst open on his forehead, and the white brains were mixed with blood and splattered all over the ground.

The rest of the Goshha and the clothed minions also took their bows and arrows and drew their bows in the direction where the gunfire came, but they found that they were too far away for their bows and arrows to reach the attackers hiding there.

"Rush forward and kill all the southern barbarians! Avenge the master! One of Goshha yelled.

Nineteen Qing soldiers put away their bows and arrows, drew their swords, and charged at the attackers. When they were still fifty paces away from the attackers, gunfire suddenly rang out in the mountain forest. The six bolts fired continuously, and one by one, the soldiers spewed blood mist and fell on the path of the charge.

"Hurry up and release the arrows!" One of Goshha removed his bow and arrow from his back, and before he could draw his bow and arrow, a rifled bullet hit him.

The rest of the Goshha and the Baoyi took off their bows and arrows, and suppressed them at night without collecting arrows from the western expeditionary army in front. These Qing soldiers were extremely skilled in archery, and there were casualties on the side where a few rows of arrows went down, and there were casualties on the side that did not collect at night.

Although the rate of fire of the bolt is high, it is a smoothbore gun after all, and because it adopts the principle of the Franc machine. The air leakage is serious, the accuracy is actually not very high, and it is not advantageous to shoot at the Qing soldiers at a distance of fifty paces. The rifled gun was too slow to reload, and the bow and arrow could not be suppressed at close range. There were only eight people in the night, and against six Goshha and twelve clothed minions, two were killed by rifled guns and four by electric guns. The opponent also has thirteen people. The Qing army counterattacked with bows and arrows, and it was really difficult for the eight to deal with the night.

The feather arrows fired by the Qing soldiers were accurate and ruthless, and two of them were killed in the night, and one was seriously wounded. Two people were slightly injured. In the battle, the Qing soldiers were also killed, and three people were killed. There were only three intact soldiers and two lightly wounded left, and it was a bit powerless to deal with ten elite Qing soldiers who were eager to avenge the Lord.

"Bang bang" A few gunshots came from a distance, and the night that rushed to reinforce fired from a distance with rifled guns. Two more Qing soldiers were brought down.

The rest of the night did not retreat from behind, and they rushed straight at them with electric guns in hand. Shoot when you get closer. The remaining eight Qing soldiers were attacked from both sides, and all of them were killed in a short time.

Besides, the main force of the Qing army was already defeated, and Hebuso fled, and the Qing soldiers who lost their command ran around lifelessly, and were chased by the soldiers of the Western Expedition from behind and cut down one by one. Some Qing soldiers panicked and broke into the jungle, and they did not have the ability of mountain soldiers, and entering the mountains and forests was a life of death. Some Qing soldiers simply stopped running and knelt on the ground and surrendered.

"Surrender or die!" Wang Jinzhong asked people to shout while chasing and killing.

When the remaining Qing soldiers heard this, they were like hearing the sound of heaven, and they threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground, surrendering to the soldiers of the Western Expedition who rushed up.

The soldiers of the Western Expedition who rushed to the front did not pay attention to these Qing soldiers who surrendered on their knees, and continued to chase the remnants of the enemy who were still running, and handed over these Qing soldiers who surrendered on their knees to the auxiliaries and Minzhuang who followed behind to deal with them.

The Qing army from Shaanxi was almost completely annihilated, and in the Wushan Gorge, Li Guoying fled in disguise overnight, and the Qing army resolutely refused to surrender under the leadership of a group of stubborn Qing generals, and camped on the spot, trying to wait for Zhang Changgeng downstream to go upstream and rescue them. However, Zhang Changgeng was blocked in the lower reaches of Wushan, unable to move an inch, and lost a lot of troops, but still could not step into the Three Gorges. But Yuan Zongdi, Hao Shaoqi and others, who were responsible for stopping Zhang Changgeng, also suffered a lot of losses.

Although some officers suppressed the Qing soldiers, the escape of Li Guoying and the Manchurian adults completely collapsed the morale of the Qing army in Sichuan. Even though a group of die-hard officers were suppressed, many Qing soldiers fled overnight and surrendered to the rebels.

"Li Guoying ran away?" Through the interrogation of the surrendered Qing soldiers, Li Laiheng and others learned about this important event.

Liu Tichun said: "Li Guoying's old thief and the real Tartar left the green battalion soldiers and escaped, this incident has dealt a great blow to the morale of the fake Tartar!" No wonder the Tartars no longer find a way to break through, but they can't hold on, and they want to wait for Zhang Changgeng downstream to come to the rescue, it turns out that this is the truth! Now that the old thief has left his army and fled, we will attack at this time, and the Tartars will surely collapse! ”

Li Laiheng agreed with Liu Tichun's opinion: "We took advantage of the situation to attack and let people shout to further break the morale of the Tartars!" ”

Chen Shuigen, who came to assist the rebels, offered a plan: "Two generals! There's a way to dismantle the Tartars faster! ”

"What's the solution?" Liu Tichun and Li Laiheng asked in unison, eager to know the answer.

Chen Shuigen came up with a vicious idea: "The Tartars are already in a desperate situation with no way to escape, and they have been hungry for a long time, and their morale is low. Since the officers of the Tartars were forcing the soldiers to prevent them from surrendering, we let the people shout while setting up pots and cooking food in the large camp behind us. They smell the smell of food, and their officers can't stop it! ”

"That's a good idea!" Lee Lai Heng said with a smile.

Chen Shuigen said again: "There must be some people who are afraid of death, and they are forced by the officers and dare not come over, at this time, we will shout again, saying that those who can kill the officers and surrender will be rewarded!" This will completely disintegrate them! And the price we pay can be minimized! ”

The rebels launched a fierce offensive. Trebuchets, large and small artillery smashed the rain of stone shells and shells into the Sichuan Qing Army's army barracks, smashed the wooden fence to pieces, and the tents were so broken that they could be used as fishing nets. Amidst the screams, the flesh and blood of the Qing soldiers who were hit by stone bullets and cannonballs flew sideways.

Some Qing soldiers tried to manipulate artillery to counterattack, but the stone shells and shells that fell from the high ground quickly shredded their thoughts. The terrain is unfavorable, morale is low, and people and geographical advantages are all gone. How can this battle be fought?

The fire attack raft that suddenly appeared upstream rushed into the formation of the Qing army's sailors and ignited the ships. It was some of the officers and soldiers of the Naval Division that Liu Tichun had sent upstream a few days earlier, and they had cut down wood upstream to build a batch of fire-attacking rafts. When the general offensive was launched, the rebel army that had entered the upper reaches in advance flanked the Qing army together with the rebel army downstream.

"Surrender or kill! The Loyal Battalion treats the captives preferentially! Those who surrender give food! The rebels shouted and rushed forward. Behind the rebels, there was a large pot of porridge, and the aroma of food wafted in the air.

The shouts of the rebels were heard. In particular, the phrase "give food" was the most lethal, and the smell of food wafting in the air caused the green battalion soldiers, who were forced to meet by the officers with butcher knives, scattered at once, and their knives, spears, shields, bows and arrows, and bird guns were thrown on the beach by the river like garbage. Hundreds of ragged, scrawny, bloodless Qing soldiers threw away their weapons and were empty-handed. Running towards the rebels, he shouted while running: "Don't kill me, I'm here to surrender!" ”

"Don't mess around. Stay the course! As long as Master Li from the downstream comes, we will be saved! Several officers loyal to the Qing court raised their voices and shouted.

But no one listened to them except their own soldiers, and more and more people scattered and surrendered, and the situation was not controlled at all.

"Shoot the arrows!" Several officers roared loudly.

The pro-soldiers, who had never been hungry and had the best food conditions, were naturally officers who were loyal to them. Even after several days of food deprivation, these officers still ensured the food of their own soldiers: fish caught from the river, wild animals from the forest, and bamboo shoots, mushrooms, wild vegetables, and wild fruits from the mountains were all food for the soldiers. Hearing the shouts of the officers, they did not hesitate to draw their bows and arrows and shoot at the back of the defeated deserters.

The strong arm pulled the bowstring, row after row of feathered arrows fell with the sound of the wind, and the figures whose clothes were torn into strips of cloth and whose bodies were thin into skeletons were hit by arrows in the back and fell one after another.

But the officers' own soldiers were so small that they could prevent ten and a hundred from surrendering, but not tens of thousands. A large group of green battalion Qing soldiers all struggled to round their legs and ran towards the rebels. For them, the enemy in front of them can give them food and keep them alive, but the general manager, the general manager, and the capital division behind them will kill them, just like the black and white impermanence of the soul.

"I surrender! I'm going to eat! The Green Battalion soldiers, who had rushed into the crowd of rebels, knelt on the ground and shouted.

The captives were brought to the cauldron, and bowls of steaming porridge were served, and although it was a multigrain porridge made of wheat bran, rice bran, and sorghum with a little brown rice and buckwheat, and it was so rare that it could be seen by a human figure, it was the most delicious delicacy in the whole world for the hungry and hungry Green Battalion soldiers!

"Huhuhuhu" Every green battalion soldier picked up the porridge bowl, raised his neck and poured it into his mouth. After drinking the porridge, they stuck out their tongues to lick up all the remaining residues in the bowl.

"I'm hungry, bring me another bowl." The green battalion soldier with a green light in his eyes picked up the empty bowl, stretched out the bowl, and looked at the righteous soldiers in front of him, hoping that they would fill themselves with another bowl of porridge.

However, Li Laiheng and his own food were not very sufficient, and where was there so much food to supply these prisoners.

"One bowl for one person! No more! The soldier in charge of making porridge shouted.

On the side of the Qing army, there were many officers who were afraid of them and did not dare to come to surrender, and they relied on wood and stone to build temporary fortifications and hide in them to resist. But they didn't want to think about it, they were in an unfavorable terrain, and all the heavy weapons such as artillery were lost, and this little fortification could stop the attack of the rebels? If it weren't for the fact that the rebels were worried that they would have suffered too many casualties, they would have launched an attack on them with all their might.

Seeing the posture of the Qing army, Chen Shuigen offered advice: "Generals, the time is ripe, first shell, and then let people shout again!" Then the Tartars will be destroyed! ”

Several rounds of trebuchets and artillery covered the rebels, and the already dilapidated Qing fortifications became even more dilapidated. Then the rebels stepped forward steadily, and tens of thousands of people shouted in unison: "Brothers of the Green Battalion on the opposite side! If you don't want to starve to death, just kill your Shangguan and run over! There is a reward for those who kill the officials! Kill the total person who is full! Those who kill thousands of generals will be rewarded with 10 taels of silver, those who kill the capital division will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver, those who kill the garrison will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver, and those who kill guerrillas and above will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver! ”

Li Laiheng not only made people shout, but also moved the cauldron of porridge very viciously forward, so that the fragrance of porridge could reach the nostrils of the Qing soldiers.

The besieged Qing soldiers swallowed hard, and some people were already ready to move, with their hands on the hilt of their knives, ready to pull out their knives to kill the general Qianzong who oppressed them: "Since you don't let me surrender and want me to starve to death here, don't blame me!" What's more, if you kill you, there will be a reward for going over there! ”

"Brothers, go up! Kill these dog officers! Let's go over there and get a good meal! I don't know who took the lead in shouting.

"Kill!" The hungry Green Battalion soldiers drew their weapons one after another and slashed at their former superiors.

The officer and his own soldiers resisted desperately and killed many of the Green Battalion soldiers. But there were too many hungry soldiers, and in the blink of an eye, all the pro-soldiers were chopped down in a pool of blood. Those stubborn Qing army officers were also beheaded one by one. But at this time, those hungry soldiers began to kill each other for the heads of their former superiors.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer green battalion soldiers who could still stand, seeing that the time was ripe, Li Laiheng led people to rush forward.

"Don't fight! All on your knees! The rebels shouted.

The Qing soldiers all knelt on the ground, and the Qing soldiers who had slashed and killed the Shangguan and held the heads in their hands were happy; And the Qing soldiers who did not grab the heads were disappointed, but at least they would not starve to death.

At this point, the Qing army of more than 100,000 Sichuan Green Camp was almost wiped out, and only Zhao Liangdong and Wang Jinbao fled with a few people. Of the more than 100,000 Qing soldiers, more than 30,000 were killed, more than 10,000 were missing, less than 10,000 escaped, and the rest of the Qing troops were all taken prisoner. After counting, Li Laiheng found that more than 60,000 people were captured in this battle!

"What to do with so many captives? We don't have that much food to feed them! Li Laiheng started to worry. At this time, he understood why Li Guoying left the Green Battalion soldiers here, if these prisoners were killed, the righteous army would have a bad reputation for killing prisoners; and they did not have much food for them to eat; Letting them go is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

Liu Tichun and Hao Shaoqi both proposed that they should simply learn from Bai Qi and kill all the prisoners.
