No matter how hard Yu Yan believed it, under the charge of the Qing cavalry, the Hui army's defeat on the battlefield was determined.
Looking at the returning troops who were constantly retreating, Yu Yan knew that there was no doubt in continuing. So, he quietly retreated with the five hundred soldiers who were guarding him.
At the same time, Yu Yan continued to deceive those returning soldiers who were not afraid to return to the embrace of Allah, who dreamed of bathing in a river flowing with milk, and enjoying the care of seventy-two virgins every day, to contribute to the "holy war".
"Kill..."
The Hui army organized the last force to launch a suicidal attack on the Qing army. However, under the fighting of the well-trained Qing cavalry, these returning troops quickly returned to the embrace of their God.
Yu Yan, the instigator of this, could no longer be seen, because he led his bodyguards to quickly retreat back to where Ma Yinglong was. There are nearly tens of thousands of elite returning troops on Ma Yinglong's side, which is enough to reassure him.
Of course, after Yu Yan ran away from the battlefield, he still very responsibly asked people to pay gold to withdraw the troops.
It's just that it doesn't matter whether it's gold or not.
After those fanatics for the "holy war" were killed one by one by the Qing army, today's Qing army can be said to be in a deserted land on the battlefield.
Seeing the Qing army on the battlefield slaughtering the fleeing returning troops, Zhang Jia A Gui's lips revealed a long-lost smile.
"Sure enough, this is how the battlefield should look like when our soldiers of the Qing Dynasty suppress the rebel bandits. The short-haired bandits occupying the southeast are really not a normal and understandable situation." Suddenly remembering his previous battle with the bandit suppressing army, Zhang Jia and Agui couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Ever since Zhang Jia Agui was ordered to go south to suppress the bandit camp in the south of the Yangtze River, he did not dare to neglect every battle with the bandit suppressing army. But no matter how hard he tried, most of them failed. Even the victory was a tragic victory at great cost.
Zhang Jia and Agui also searched for the reason, but found that it was not that he had become weaker, but that the enemy had become too strong. The bandit suppressor army was not as powerful and elite as a rebel with a mud-legged background could lead. It’s the right thing to come out.
Not to mention their long guns and cannons, their well-trained formations and endless formations are incredible.
What's more, those "short-haired thieves" are not afraid of death when fighting. They are even worse than those fanatics who are fighting for "holy war" on this battlefield, and it is really hard to understand. .
The most hateful Green Camp soldiers were like weak chickens when they were on their side, but once they turned against the rebels, they were like tigers emerging from the mountain.
He once saw with his own eyes a soldier who was nothing more than a small soldier guarding the city. When he saw them before, he was as humble as a dog. No matter how much he was ridiculed or scolded, he always had a smile on his face and did not dare to resist at all.
As a result, after he surrendered to those short-haired thieves, his bravery would never be as heroic as that of Balutu of the Qing Dynasty. In the battle, he suffered several sword blows in a row, but he still had no fear and killed several Qing warriors to get to the bottom, scaring the Qing troops around him so that no one dared to approach him.
Compared with Junggar, which the Qing Empire still failed to pacify for decades, Zhang Jia Agui believes that the bandit suppressing army is the most powerful enemy of the Qing Dynasty. And compared with the bandit-suppressing army, these rebel bandits in front of them are not even comparable to the Junggar army. They are completely scum with less than five combat effectiveness.
Zhang Jia and Agui really couldn't understand who gave them the courage to rebel.
"Perhaps we are all wrong. There is really no need to use tactics against these traitors who have returned to their headquarters. With their fighting power, just kill them directly." Looking at the battlefield where they had won a complete victory, Zhang Jia Agui couldn't help but feel confident. got up.

In the middle of August, the 22nd year of Qianlong's reign
Beijing, Old Summer Palace.
Old Summer Palace, a large royal garden in the Qing Dynasty.
Located in the northwest suburbs of Beijing, it covers an area of more than 5,200 acres and has a construction area of 200,000 square meters. It consists of Old Summer Palace, Changchun Garden and Qichun Garden (Wanchun Garden), so it is also called the Three Yuanming Gardens. .
Because there are more than 150 beautiful scenes in Yuanmingyuan, it is also known as the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens".
Yuanmingyuan was built in the forty-eighth year of Kangxi. It was originally a garden given by Emperor Kangxi to the fourth son of the emperor Yinzhen. Kangxi inscribed a plaque for it "Yuanmingyuan" because "Yuanming" was the name of Yongzheng.
After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he expanded the Old Summer Palace and built the Zhengdaguangming Hall and Qinzheng Hall in the south of the garden, as well as many duty rooms for the Cabinet, the Sixth Ministry, and the Military Aircraft Department, where he could "avoid the noise and listen to politics" in the summer.
During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, in addition to partial additions and renovations to Old Summer Palace, he also built a new Changchun Garden to the east and merged into Wanchun Garden to the southeast. At this point, the basic layout of the Three Gardens of the Yuanming Dynasty has been roughly formed.
The Qing emperor came here every midsummer to escape the heat, listen to politics, and handle military and political affairs, so it was also called the "Summer Palace."
Since signing the peace agreement with the bandit suppressing army, Qianlong has been in a good mood for the past few days, and even checked the signs in the harem more frequently at night.
The reason why Qianlong was so relieved was that good news about quelling the war on the front line kept coming. Especially in Gansu, there are constant good news.
Under the pressure of the east and west armies of the Qing army, the originally arrogant "rebels" in Gansu Province were defeated and defeated.
Although the local massacre by the Qing army also attracted desperate resistance from the "rioters" who returned to their headquarters, under the stimulation of the Qing court's tacit consent not to seal the sword, in the face of those Qing troops who were red-eyed, the "rioters" who returned to their headquarters Resistance seems insignificant and cannot cause any trouble.
Just as they killed the unarmed Han people, the Qing army massacred them with the same ruthlessness.
Under the crazy massacre by the Qing army, many Hui troops gradually "awakened". Those Hui people who did not have the courage to continue participating in the "Holy War" fled from the ranks of the Hui troops and fled each other.
However, in the face of the Qing army's dragnet-like search, most of the troops who thought they had escaped and returned without incident were searched out by the Qing army and continued to be killed.
Under the massacre of the Qing army, Ma Yinglong's team, which was already almost unable to support itself, reunited. However, although these returning troops that had gathered together again caused some damage to the Qing soldiers, they still did not escape the fate of being defeated and killed again.
After going back and forth, those Hui people who originally only participated in the "Holy War" with opportunistic intentions could no longer support it and fled the battlefield again. I silently prayed to Allah to ensure that they would not be found by the Qing army.
Ma Yinglong, whose mood was completely different from Qianlong's, was troubled and uneasy at the moment.
He never dreamed that after several months, the returning army, which had grown from a few thousand to more than 100,000 people and occupied dozens of cities, could be defeated so miserably.
