The Japanese Six really came, and the Zhuozhou camp suffered a heavy defeat, but the small town of Zhuozhou was a key point. With the support of the city wall, whoever controls this place can firmly control half of the battlefield!
Yi Xin rode forward and looked at the figures swinging on top of the city, but couldn't hear any response and couldn't help but smile, "A bunch of frightened wastes, what are you talking about!"
“Let the city take action!”
Emperor Guangxu gave the order, and almost at the same time, there was a commotion in Zhuozhou City, and hundreds of rebels with white towels tied around their heads were killed from the city wall and horse path!
However, half of the officers around the county magistrate immediately rebelled and surrounded the county magistrate and officials at all levels with swords and spears!
There was a loud killing sound in the city, and the defenders of Xishan Camp, a battalion left by Prince Dun, immediately fell into the siege of thousands of rebels!
The gunshots were loud, the fire was shining, the city gate was opened, and the insiders quickly opened the south gate. Emperor Guangxu's cavalry rushed into Zhuozhou City like wolves and tigers!
"Surrender and avoid death! Surrender and avoid death! Surrender and avoid death in Xishan Camp!"
"The old master is back! Prince Gong, the founder of Xishan Camp, is back! Emperor Guangxu is back, why don't you surrender?"
"Don't fight. You will die in this camp. Don't forget who recruited you into the Xishan Camp?"
"That's Prince Gong back then, now Emperor Guangxu! It's not a shame for you to surrender to your old master, you're still a good man!"
"Everyone outside the city has been defeated. Why are you resisting here? We are brothers and surrender quickly!"
The army is indeed a place that pays great attention to seniority. Whoever establishes the army will always bear the deep imprint of the founder!
No matter how much you reorganize Tongzhi Emperor in the later period, you can't be 100% clean!
The situation in the camp outside the city has been seen in the city. The soldiers of the Xishan Camp were already uneasy, but now they saw Guiziliu show up in person to recruit them, so their thoughts of resistance naturally faded away.
Although the battalion commander was from the Third Division, he was also recruited by Prince Gong. When he saw the old master, he naturally pushed him and knelt down. When the whole battalion officers and soldiers saw that the commander had surrendered, why should they fight?
The entire Zhuozhou City was captured, and only six people died in total. It was almost a deathless battle!
Only then did Yi Xin feel relieved. He let his cronies control the city gates and streets, and he climbed up the city wall to watch the situation in the Zhuozhou camp from a high position. However, as soon as he put his head in, he took a breath of air-conditioning.
"What's going on? Why is the whole camp on fire! Damn it, didn't I let them take control of the Chinese army's tent and have a stalemate until dawn?"
"Why is the company camp on fire? You guys, how did you do this? Get behind the wheel immediately, I want to go to the camp in person!"
Yi Xin's plan was actually very simple. It was a heart-breaking tactic to get Zai Tu to go to the Chinese army's tent for a meeting on the pretext of reporting the results of the war and offering prisoners.
Gathering all the senior officials of the Zhuozhou Camp together, mainly Yi Pei and Fu Qing, it will be most difficult to prevent the twists and turns. After taking control of the Chinese army's tent, the Zhuozhou Camp will be leaderless!
You can't act rashly at this time. It's already close to four in the morning anyway, and it will be dawn in two hours. After two hours, you can enter the camp at dawn and hand over to your fifth brother. I believe you can convince your fifth brother not to resist!
Of course, many enemy troops will definitely escape in these two hours, but just run away as long as no serious resistance breaks out!
As long as Yipei, Fuqing and the commanders of each division are under control, it is impossible for all the troops in the Zhuozhou camp to abandon their commanders and become organized and escape!
The skeleton will always remain, and if the general structure remains, it will be good, and that means we will win!
What Yixin wants is this large number of officer corps. In the future, the Qing Dynasty will need talents, and it will need a lot of talents who understand Western military science. Without these smart brains, it will be impossible to form more armies!
Ordinary soldiers just run away, but senior officers must be recruited and surrendered. Such talents are so rare!
How did Xiao Letian gain power? Didn't he just teach him a direct line of officers bit by bit and then fight them out?
These days, it is impossible to live without an army or guns, but both the army and the guns are empty. The mid-level and high-level officers who command the guns are the ones worth a thousand dollars!
What a plan! Zai Tu takes the lead, Rong Lu and Yi Siha support them, and 80% of the army's strength is given to them. Why can't they handle just this little thing?
We have just reported that the mutiny in the big tent was successful, so how come the company was set on fire in the blink of an eye?
"Damn it! Take the horse and let me deal with these bastards myself..."
At this time, Zai Cheng gave up and knelt in front of his father, hugging his thighs and performing a show of filial piety, "Father! No, no! The Zhuozhou camp has already been killed. You are the Holy Emperor and cannot take risks yourself!"
"Your Majesty is in charge of the world, and you must not act rashly... I will go, I will help my father calm down the chaos. I will definitely give my father a stable Zhuozhou camp in the morning!"
The surrounding officials also knelt down and begged Emperor Guangxu not to take risks!
Yi Xin really made a mistake today. His plan would have been perfect in the pre-battle stage, but starting from the second half of the battle, he made one mistake after another.
The first important mistake was that he did not go to the Zhuozhou camp in person at the first time to recruit surrender and rebels, but chose to raid Zhuozhou City!
The second important mistake was that after discovering the error, he did not solve it himself, but asked Zai Cheng and other officials to solve it!
As a father, don’t you know what Cheng Beile can do? Apart from pretending to be filial, this dude can take the risk himself?
After Cheng Beile led the army out of the city and out of his father's sight, he began to slow down his horse. He sneered on the horse and said, "My big brother who came halfway took all the credit. Now you want me to wipe his ass?"
"Haha... That's okay, but let him fight for a while and make it a little more miserable! In the end, his previous achievements have been almost wiped out, let's start again!"
"You want to outshine me? What a dream!"
It was precisely because of Zai Cheng's delay that the last reserve team on the entire battlefield, Emperor Guangxu's personal army, failed to enter the Zhuozhou camp in time, and more and more blood was shed!
It was the darkest moment before dawn, and the Zhuozhou Camp had completely lost control. The Isiha Division was originally supposed to provide support to help control the situation in the west, but due to the fierce fighting between the Chinese army, serious firefights also occurred in the west.
The scapegoating army infiltrated from the fragmented defense area of the Zhuozhou Camp, and they began to attack various units of the Third Division of the Yulin New Army!
At this time, Commander Doluo was also trapped in the Chinese army's tent. The new Yulin troops could only fight on their own. The scapegoating army could not take over their positions, but these new Yulin troops had no new orders and did not know where to go!
We can only stick to our position and form steel-like islands!
The Second Division of the Yulin New Army, Bai Min's Department was even more chaotic. Since the so-called rebel prisoners were in their defense area, they and the rebels were completely in a situation where you were in the middle and you were in the middle. When the situation changed, the two sides strangled each other. The entire eastern camp was on fire.
The third division of the most tragic White War, the third division of Xishanying suffered the tragic fate of being almost completely wiped out tonight. The former comrades in the fifth division and the new rebels came like a tide!
How could the Third Division resist when almost everyone was injured? You can only resist it with your flesh and blood!
