Aguba's escape became the last straw that broke the morale of the rebels. Ten thousand of the 60,000 Aguba elites escaped, more than 20,000 died in battle, and the remaining 30,000 became a rebel army without a commander!
The supervising team was also stupid at this time and did not know what to do on the battlefield. The Qing cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the cavalry on horseback had already begun to shoot at them!
"Run away...these are monsters, not human beings...run away..."
There were two for one, and in a short time the whole battlefield was filled with retreating armies, pouring down like a flood along the opening that had not been closed in the southwest!
"Accelerate...accelerate...don't let these rebels escape..."
The Qing army was determined to solve this cancer once and for all. If they wanted to completely eliminate the threat of the Aguba rebels, they must completely dig out their roots!
Just defeating them on the battlefield is not enough, they must be annihilated and killed!
Because the mountains of Xinjiang and Central Asia are intertwined like canine teeth, once these defeated soldiers escape to Central Asia, they will still be a group of bandits after a few years of training, and they will still attack Xinjiang!
Only by killing all the rebels and leaving no seeds behind can you gain peace for the next hundred years!
All the cavalry squeezed out their horsepower and charged desperately. The infantry on Guan Lu's side also jumped out of the pile of corpses, reorganized the team and ran quickly towards Dihua City regardless of fatigue!
"Brothers... the cavalry is outflanking the rebels. We can't be idle and attack Dihua immediately to prevent the enemy from destroying the city..."
"There are still innocent people in the city waiting for us to save! Hurry, hurry, hurry..."
"Inform Doro and the others...the artillery is our precious enemy. Their troops are not allowed to move at all. We must defend on the spot and be careful of enemy sneak attacks!"
"Guard our cannon tonight, and you will be safe tomorrow..."
At this moment, two torrents appeared on the entire battlefield. The largest one ran wildly to the southwest. It was chasing deserters, while the other one moved toward the northwest. This was the infantry liberating Dihua City!
The sky was already dark, a lot of fire suddenly appeared in Dihua City, and shouts were heard. Guan Lu was really guessed by them!
"It's broken...the enemy is going to set fire to the city...do we still have any flares?"
"Shoot all the flares provided by the Chinese into the sky of Dihua City... tell them the signal of victory!"
"During the Battle of Xingxing Gorge, our signal flares were launched into the sky. People here in the Western Region should know what this means!"
"Gamble... fight it out!"
Bang...bang bang...bang bang bang...
The fireworks signal flares flew diagonally into the sky of Dihua City, and red, yellow and white fireworks exploded directly above Dihua City!
Dihua City is in chaos at the moment. The remaining defenders are setting fire to the city crazily and fleeing while burning. More people are fleeing in all directions. They don't even dare to put out the fire!
The most miserable thing is the slaves imprisoned in the cells. These are Han caravans, the Qing troops who were captured before, and some Mongolians and Kazakhs from northern Xinjiang who refused to surrender!
The guards in the cell all ran away, and before leaving, they set a fire. Now the slaves and prisoners were completely shocked!
"Here...is there anyone...helping people...it's on fire..."
"Look at... the sky, look at the sky!"
Bang... bang... Fireworks bloomed in the sky, and the people in the cell suddenly cheered, "It's a signal bomb! I heard about it when I was in the Central Plains..."
"During the great victory at Xingxingxia, Marshal Zuo's army fired this thing! We won outside the city, we won the battle!"
All the cells went crazy. Everyone grabbed the wooden railings of the cells and began to shake. The entire adobe cell began to tremble!
"Victory! Victory...Victory..."
Click! The railings of the entire cell were pulled down by everyone, and they were finally free. People pouring out of the cell began to cheer throughout the city, "Look at the sky! Victory...the battle outside the city is won!"
"Revenge! Kill all the rebels who set fire... Let's get these guys out of the city to take revenge!"
After all, Dihua is the capital of Xinjiang. Although it has been destroyed by wars in recent years, there are still 100,000 residents in the city!
The fireworks of victory suddenly reversed their despair. Listening to the roar of the mountains and tsunamis outside, and seeing so many slaves and prisoners rushing out of the cells, these Dihua people finally knew that the sky had changed!
Let's fight these gangsters who set fires! The lone rebels were no longer as arrogant as before. They were dragged down by groups of civilians and beaten into a pulp!
There is nothing wrong with the old saying that a lot of help is available when a person is in a good way, but little help is available when a person is in a bad way!
Originally, when Aguba first rebelled, the aboriginal people in the Western Regions were secretly leaning towards him. After all, the religions were the same, so they naturally thought that living with Agub would be better!
But more than ten years later, all their expectations have been disappointed. Agubai was originally a warlord who only knew how to kill. He had no idea what management and construction meant!
In recent years, the lives of the people throughout the Western Regions have become more and more miserable. In the past, under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, food and clothing could be solved, but now a large number of people have starved to death!
The Han people cut off a large number of trade routes, and continued goods from the Central Plains could not be sent in at all. Their own agricultural and animal husbandry production was also destroyed by Agub!
Taxes were increased several times, young children were forcibly taken away and turned into soldiers, and girls were snatched away by the officers and put into the harem!
His perverse behavior has already made the natives of the Western Region hate him, but before he couldn't fight him and had no choice but to endure it!
At this moment, there was finally a chance for revenge. The people of Dihua, regardless of their ethnicity or language, all rose up to resist the rebels who set fire to them, and all of them were killed!
"Pursue victory! Fight out of Dihua...help the imperial army hunt down those rebels!"
It was already dark. When Guan Lu rushed under the city wall, he discovered that the torches had merged into rivers. These rivers of fire were rushing towards Aguba's defeated troops!
The chase lasted all night, with bright flares everywhere in the sky, and the news of victory immediately spread throughout northern Xinjiang!
The people in Dihua City and the small towns along the way all spontaneously organized themselves and began to massacre more than 20,000 defeated troops under the cover of night!
The 10,000 Chinese troops in Agubai's hands still retain their organizational structure and have sufficient ammunition, so the common people dare not attack, but the remaining 20,000 deserters are not so lucky!
Yellow sand and Gobi, grassland villages and towns...the defeated army is running more and more dispersed, the number of people is getting smaller and smaller, and they can't see anything in the dark night!
The tired and hungry soldiers became rabbits for the common people to hunt. In the dark night, there were screams everywhere in the southeast and northwest!
Digging traps, ambushes, sneak attacks with bows and arrows, outflanking with many people... Twenty thousand defeated soldiers were chased by at least one hundred thousand soldiers and civilians. When the sun rose again, the entire land southwest of Dihua City was littered with corpses!
"Pass the Commander-in-Chief's military order... Anyone who brings the corpse of a rebel... will be rewarded with a bushel of grain!"
"Anything that can bring a living prisoner... In addition to a dou of grains, add a dou of fine white flour!"
