Luo Ke Duo has never seen the civil works of the Taiping Army, but Ji Du has seen it, but he is dead. Different from the fort defense line built in Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, the bunker watchtower built by the Taiping army was mainly for the location, not for advancement, but only for defense. Speaking of it, this kind of civil engineering works in the northern plains is also a dead target. As long as the Qing army breaks the food and grass of these defense lines, it will be useless no matter how strong the defense line is. There is no need for the Qing army to fight, and the Taiping army in the defense line will also be able to. collapse. If you don't collapse, you have to starve to death. No matter how much food there is, there will always be a day when you will finish it.

But this is on the Hunan-Guizhou border, the mountainous Hunan-Guizhou border, and the Hunan-Guizhou border with only a handful of roads in and out! Therefore, Roko Duo had no other choice, either to use human life to fill in the Taiping military fortifications that could not be seen, or to think otherwise.

The battle to attack Pingxi Station was a good one. A leader of the Zhenglan Banner easily captured this important road, and the Taiping army could be described as fleeing by looking out for the wind.

King Pingjun, who easily won the ground, was very happy, and arrogantly rushed into the Pingxi Post to the cheers of the full soldiers, ready to launch a bigger offensive and earn more credit, but he couldn't laugh soon enough, then The expression on his face was as dark as that of Prince Jane Jidu who was in Chaohui last year.

"Nan Manzi is too cunning!"

Zhaka really couldn't think of any words other than "cunning" to describe the Guangdong Ming Army.

Nanmanzi is too cunning and wicked, the line of defense in front of the Qing army, it can be said that there is a corpse under the ground.

Suna built the defense line in Jingzhou, and died of exhaustion with more than 4,000 soldiers and civilians. As for the defense line of Yuanzhou, more than 20,000 people died.

Zhou Shixiang didn't want so many people to die, but the civil engineering in this era was completely manpower, and there was no machinery to use. In addition, many parts of the Qianguan Road were stone-based roads, making it very difficult to destroy it.

The construction period was short and the time was tight. Zhou Shixiang could only use human life to fill this line of defense. The one-month-long construction period, according to the statistics of the military staff in charge of the construction, roughly 13,000 natives and more than 9,000 Han Chinese surrendered soldiers and civilians to death on this official road, which was only 32 miles long. .

It can be said that this is a line of defense paved with corpses, a line of defense smeared with the blood of the Han people. The high-intensity construction work not only killed tens of thousands of lives, but also broke out the resistance of natives and people. After several crackdowns, more than 2,000 Han people were killed.

The specific details of the construction process of the Yuanzhou defense line and the number of deaths were ordered by Zhou Shixiang to seal the archives, but it is strictly forbidden to destroy them.

Anti-Qing was the Han nationality's struggle against Manchuria, and sacrifice was inevitable. Just as the Qing army used massacres to force the Han people to give up their resistance, in order to achieve the purpose of so-called massacres for the Han people's good. In the Taiping army's anti-Qing struggle, countless Han Chinese were also sacrificed. And their sacrifice was only for one thing, and that was to bury the Manchu family.

There is no absolute right or wrong in the world.

Anti-Qing, for Zhou Shixiang, is right and the most correct thing; but for those who were sacrificed because of anti-Qing, I am afraid it is wrong.

Right and wrong were never considered by Zhou Shixiang. He only knew that if he did not resist, he would not be able to avenge his parents; If you do not resist, future generations will be proud of the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, he must resist, even if the fact that he resists makes more compatriots who survived the war die even more.

If you don't resist, more people will survive; if you resist, those who could survive will die.

It sounds incredible, but it actually happens. In fact, because of the arrival of the Taiping Army, the Han Chinese in Hunan suffered even more when the Qing Army was there. Many Han people now do not want to become the people of the Ming Dynasty and restore the clothes of the Han family, but think that the Qing soldiers will come to rescue them quickly. The reason for this is because the Taiping army carried out Zhou Shixiang's "blood-drawing" strategy in Hunan.

What is blood draw?

The blood of the Han people in Hunan was drawn to support the Taiping army on the border between Hunan and Guizhou.

Pumping the blood of the Han Chinese in Hunan to block the Qing army in Yungui.

What is blood?

Money and food, as well as production materials, chickens, ducks and fish...even life.

......

Luo Ke Duo tentatively launched an attack on the Taiping army defense line to the north, but before Yi Zuo's troops approached the opponent's watchtower, the sound of cannons sounded, followed by the sound of gunshots. The soldiers were brave, and several rounds of arrow rain were shocking to watch, but the arrow had no effect except for the sound of "banging" from the Taiping army bunker behind the ditch.

The Taiping army did not show up at all, they huddled in the bunkers like tortoises. If the soldiers are approaching, they will fire their cannons, but if they don't come, they will wait. The trenches were also terrifyingly dug, wide and deep, one after another, every few dozen steps, and either filled with sharpened branches or filled with water. The people and horses fell into it and were either stabbed to death or drowned. There was no possibility of surviving, because the walls of the trenches were cut so smooth by the Taiping army that there was not even a place for a handle.

How to fight this battle?

How will you go this way?

The soldiers looked at each other in dismay.

In the past, it was not necessary to take the official road, which was made like a tortoise shell by the Taiping Army. But the horses can't walk on the trail, and if people cross the widest part, they can only walk two people at most, and it is difficult for one person to walk in the narrow part. The worst thing is that the Taiping Army has obviously touched the surrounding terrain, but where the trails are, the surrounding trees are all cut down, and there is no dead angle from the next glance. Bunkers and watchtowers were built at critical points, and the places where the bunker could not be built were also piled with stones and logs, and a dozen soldiers stationed there could play the role of one man acting as a gatekeeper, while ten thousand soldiers could not open it. And it is calculated that the Qing army can pass by the small road, but the Taiping army's defense line has been built along this official road into Guizhou for dozens of miles, and it is responsible for the division. , Undecided, where are there so many paths to walk, how many soldiers can you pass if you take the path. If there are fewer people, it's not a big deal. In a blink of an eye, the Taiping Army can take over. There are too many people, and it's useless. You can't get through it at all!

Luo Ke Duo Kong has nowhere to point his strength, and Kong has a stomach full of fire that has nowhere to go. The Han army guide who led the way told King Pingjun that there was another place where he could pass the army. King Pingjun was overjoyed when he heard the words, but after asking, he slapped the Han army guide.

This slap to the King of Ping Ping was really a blow to the death, and the Han army who beat him lost a few teeth.

Why is Prince Ping so angry?

Because the place that the Han army said was one hundred thousand mountains!

......

When the Qing army was unable to move an inch in Pingxi Station, those soldiers who sneaked in for the bounty began their adventure to become rich.

If these soldiers were assembled and used as an army, they would not even be able to defeat the battalions of the Qing army, because they didn't know what marching and fighting was at all, they only knew how to swarm and then swarm. This kind of rabble has a fart, if it is useful, it will not be called a native.

But when these soldiers became the enemy of the Qing army as individuals, they became the biggest nightmare of the Qing army.

When the Qing army was in a dilemma at Pingxi Station, the small groups of people who were sent out to explore the way or fetch food were constantly attacked. Even at night, enemy soldiers would sneak into the camp to wipe the necks of the night guards and then cut off their heads.

After more than 80 soldiers had their heads cut off, Luo Keyi realized the seriousness of the matter. He immediately sent troops to search around and cleared the woods near the barracks to prevent enemy soldiers from sneaking in. The outposts at night are also doubled, and patrols come and go from time to time. Under such measures, the attacking enemy soldiers no longer sneaked into the barracks.

But then, Luo Keyi found that the small groups of enemy soldiers who attacked his side were targeting the liaison soldiers he sent to Guiyang, as well as the guards at the rear stations and the auxiliary soldiers who transported food and grass.

The losses were getting bigger and bigger. On one day, 17 full soldiers were killed and more than a dozen truckloads of food were robbed.

Rocco Duo was angry and started to fight back. The Qing army went out on a large scale, swept the mountain areas on both sides of the official road and the post station, and increased troops at each checkpoint. The result made him satisfied with Prince Ping, and the counterattacks for several days were very fruitful, killing more than 200 natives who wanted to attack the Qing soldiers.

From the captives of the natives, the King of Pingjun and the senior officials of the Manchu army heard for the first time the "Reward Order for Hunting Manchu Heads" issued by the Guangdong Ming Army, and knew that their heads could be exchanged for half a piece of fat pig from the Guangdong Ming Army. or equivalent items.

According to those natives, the prices offered by the Ming Army in Guangdong to the Manchu soldiers were the same, regardless of official rank, which meant that the head of the dignified Manchu county king Luo Ke Duo was only worth half a slice of pork.

This made Rokodor furious.

However, the good situation did not last long. The Qing army once again found that the natives attacked them, and the number was increasing. Some military posts were even attacked by hundreds of natives at the same time.

For a time, the natives on the border of Hunan and Guizhou seemed to be dispatched. They came from all directions to harvest the heads of the Qing army in the dark. At first, they simply attacked the Manchurian soldiers, but later they even attacked the Green Battalion soldiers.

The Qing army was tired of this endless small-scale attack, but slowly the Qing army also summed up the experience of being attacked by the natives. Luo Ke Duo ordered the troops from the Green Battalion of Guizhou to enter the mountains to attack, and used them to control them, attracting some natives to vote, so that they could make soil with Han and soil.

Under this policy, the number of natives who attacked the Qing army on the Hunan-Guizhou border began to decrease, and more natives were killed by the Qing army. But from beginning to end, the Qing army was unable to cross the northern line.

The initiative of the war was firmly grasped by Zhou Shixiang, who acted as a turtle, and he was waiting for the best time to attack.

......

The high tide of the natives in Guizhou attacking the Qing army was caused by those natives in Guizhou, and the reason why the natives in Guizhou risked their lives to go down the mountain to attack the Qing army ~www.NovelMTL.com~ was because they were jealous.

Seeing that the native soldiers from Hunan made a lot of money from the heads of the Manchus, the natives of Guizhou were naturally moved. They learned from the local population in Hunan that the rewards for Taiping soldiers' head exchange are not limited to physical objects, gold and silver, and even more objects. They only look at the heads they bring, and they are paid in real money and silver, and they will never be swayed. This made those natives who were sturdy in their folk customs unstoppable. In the early days, the Hunan native soldiers repeatedly succeeded in attacking the Qing army. They all knew that the Qing army was easy to deceive, so they were dispatched on a large scale. As a result, the Qing army was indeed invincible, the pressure was doubled, and it also benefited from the Taiping army, but it was quickly suppressed by the recovered Qing army.

When the natives of Guizhou failed to make a fortune and were robbed, the Taiping Army in Hunan extended a "friendly" helping hand to them.

A group of Taiping soldiers who sneaked from the mountains found Guizhou natives under the leadership of Hunan native soldiers, and taught them how to "move up" against the Qing army, how to carry out "guerrilla warfare", and how to "change a place with one shot" ....

Weapons and even cotton armor and other equipment were generously sent by the Taiping Army, while the exchange of the heads of the natives in Guizhou was completed quickly, and even for some difficult stockades, money and food could be advanced in advance.

Relative to the brutality of the Qing army, the friendliness of the Taiping army moved the natives of Guizhou.

However, they did not know that on the other side of the mountain, on the other side of the border between the two provinces, the Taiping Army in western Hunan put forward a sensational slogan.

The slogan is - "Stones need to pass the knife, thatch needs to pass the fire, and the natives need to change the seed!"

A little tired late at night, two shifts are done first today. After waking up, there will be three more quarters, maybe the 5th watch on the 13th. (To be continued.)
