After listening to the introduction of the two, Luo Yue felt a little clear-headed and asked about the geographical location of Qingzhou's Manchu Banner City, city defense, etc.

The two intelligence personnel have found out about this and have also drawn two drawings, one is the journey map from Qingzhou to Mancheng; the other is the detailed drawings from Mancheng.

Qingzhou garrison Manchu Banner City was built in the tenth year of Yongzheng (1732), about 2.5 kilometers north of Qingzhou City. Therefore, locals commonly call Mancheng the North City, while Qingzhou the South City.

The whole city is generally rectangular, with a height of more than 900 meters from north to south and 750 meters from south to south, covering an area of ​​about 7.5 hectares. There are 57 government offices and 668 houses in the city. One palace, 22 houses, 21 temples, and 2 halls. A total of 4,899 houses with flag soldiers are 3.5 meters high, 3.3 meters wide at the bottom and 2.3 meters wide at the top. The battlements are made of bricks, surrounded by man-digged moats and horse roads, with a width of about 15 meters.

Each city wall has a city gate, the east gate is named Haiyan Gate, the south gate is named Ningqi Gate, the west gate is named Tai'an Gate, and the north gate is named Gongchen Gate. They are all named by Yongzheng, and stone carvings are written by famous calligraphers and inlaid on the city gate. There is a stone bridge on the moat outside the four city gates, which communicate in and out. Each city gate is divided into two gates inside and outside, with Yuecheng.

However, as time went by, the increase in the population in the city was difficult to accommodate. Therefore, in the southwest and southeast outside the northern city, part of the population was divided into two places, mainly the family members of the Manchus, and some tenant manors and country villas of Manchus were established. In addition, in Yishan, about 60 kilometers south of Qingzhou City, there was also a military horse ranch in Qingzhou garrison Banner City, grazing more than a thousand military horses.

It turned out that the Eight Banners garrisons established by the Qing court in the early days mostly circled the area within the old city, forming a city pattern. However, the mixed population of Manchu and Han people are likely to cause many disputes, of course, it is mainly caused by the Manchus oppressing the Han people. The Manchus built after the Yongzheng Dynasty was basically a new city built outside the old city. First, it was to avoid the intensification of conflicts between Manchus and Han Dynasties; second, it was when the Qing court's national strength was rising, and there was sufficient financial resources to build the new Manchus for the Eight Banners garrisons to live in.

Luo Yue was completely relieved after getting these two drawings, so he thanked the two and immediately recruited the main generals of the entire regiment to discuss tactics to quell the rebellion. In fact, Luo Yue had already thought of a plan for combat in his mind. Now the Eight Banners garrison is looting in Qingzhou City. If he directly sent troops to rescue Qingzhou City, the Eight Banners garrison could defend the city, but he did not bring artillery and only had a few mortars to break through the city wall. Moreover, because his troops were not large, it was impossible to besiege Qingzhou City. Therefore, even if he had broken through Qingzhou City, the Eight Banners garrison had a great chance to escape from the city and fled back to the North City to guard it. He would have to work hard to attack the North City next. This would not only cost effort, but also waste time and cause considerable damage.

Luo Yue planned to use the strategy of besieging Wei to rescue Zhao, and first sent troops to attack Beicheng. In this way, the Eight Banners garrisons who robbed and robbed the captives in Qingzhou City naturally had to go out of the city to rescue. Although Qingzhou City and Beicheng were only 2.5 kilometers away, and there were basically villages and towns along the way, it would be easy to lead the Eight Banners garrisons outside the city. You can encircle and annihilate the Eight Banners garrisons even if it was field battles. Because according to Liu Qinglin's statement, the Eight Banners garrisons were not strong in combat, so even if they could not be completely wiped out, most of them would be wiped out. In this way, the remaining people would not be afraid to escape back to Beicheng. Moreover, this would be able to quell the rebellion in Qingzhou in a short period of time.

After the Eight Banners garrisons were annihilated and occupied the North City, the threat faced by the Land Reform Commission would be naturally lifted, and each working group could resume normal work, and the problems encountered in each village could be solved.

After hearing this, the others agreed with Luo Yue's combat plan. Everyone compared the map and studied it, and supplemented Luo Yue's plan. Finally, they decided to go to the first battalion to attack the whole city, and at the same time block the head of the Eight Banners garrison returning to the north city; the Second Battalion set up an ambush on both sides of the avenue outside the city to attack the Eight Banners garrison; and the Third Battalion was responsible for cutting off the return path of the Eight Banners garrison and attacking the Eight Banners garrisons. The three battalion was responsible for cutting off the Eight Banners garrisons' return and attacking the three attacks together, trying to completely annihilate or severely damage the Eight Banners garrisons. The Guard Company of Luo Yue's Regiment Headquarters and the Cavalry Company were the general reserve team.

After hearing this, Liu Qinglin also hoped to lead a company's troops to the war. Luo Yue thought about it and agreed. Because he just wanted to guard Qiangou Village, it was enough to have two companies, and he also had a cavalry company that could rush back to rescue Zhu within an hour. Liu Qinglin had been in Qingzhou for a long time and knew the geographical situation of this area very well. With their troops with him, it would be useful during Guanjian, so Luo Yue organized them all into the reserve team.

The next morning, Luo Yue immediately led the first battalion and launched an attack on Qingzhou North City.

In fact, many villages around the northern city had been built at this time. Seeing the People's Army coming, the Manchu residents were immediately panicked because Wenrui and Wuleqi brought almost all the troops and young and middle-aged men in the northern city. Therefore, the current Beicheng is almost an empty city with no resistance. However, at this time, everyone in the northern city knew that the Eight Banners garrison was looting in Qingzhou City. Yesterday, Wenrui and Wuleqi transported back several trucks of things they had grabbed. So Wu Yannian, the leader who stayed in the northern city, gathered people to defend the city, and quickly sent people to Qingzhou to deliver letters to Wenrui, asking Wenrui to quickly lead troops back to rescue.

Sure enough, after receiving the news, Wenrui was shocked. Luo Yue's troops arrived in Qiangou Village yesterday. Wenrui didn't know about it. He was just shocked by the fact that overseas Chinese were indeed bold and dared to attack Mancheng. When Wenrui led his troops out, he never thought that Mancheng would be attacked.

Although he knew the power of overseas Chinese, Wenrui's family lived in the North City, so he could not ignore it. So Wenrui immediately ordered to gather the army and return to the North City.

After snatching two or three days in Qingzhou City, the Eight Banners soldiers were full of bags and bulging waists, and they were satisfied. Moreover, their wives and children were all in Beicheng. At this time, they heard that Beicheng was attacked by overseas Chinese, and they still wanted to stay in Qingzhou City, and they wanted to fly back to rescue. Therefore, after hearing Wenrui's order, they hurriedly packed their luggage and prepared to go home.

However, because there were too many gold, silver and jewelry I had to grab, it took time to get equipment, and the army was in chaos, so I had to notify them one by one. As a result, I was busy and it was not until noon that the team was all prepared. However, the soldiers were all big and small bags, and they were too busy with their hands. The spear was used as a shoulder pole, and the cavalry was also changed to infantry because the horses were covered with things.

Although Wenrui was anxious, he had no choice. Fortunately, there was another person who came to Beicheng to ask for help. Knowing that the city had not been broken, he finally waited to get the team neatly. Wenrui hurriedly ordered the team to lead out of Qingzhou City.

Although the Eight Banners garrisons were all home, they had no choice but to carry too many things and could not be fast. The entire army formed a long dragon of hundreds of meters. Originally, Wenrui planned to let the horse riders go back first, but when they saw that all the cavalry had changed their infantry, they had to give up. However, for a morning, the North City had not yet fallen, which made Wenrui feel a little relieved. It seemed that the overseas Chinese had not had a good ability to attack the city. It would take only more than an hour to march slowly.

The entire army had not yet walked a few hundred meters away from the city. Standing on the city tower in Qingzhou, you could see the tail of the team from afar. At this moment, you could only hear a few "whimper" sounds breaking through the air, and then "boom boom boom boom boom" in the middle of the Eight Banners garrison. More than ten explosions rang out in succession, which only caused the Eight Banners garrison to overturn their horses and screaming repeatedly. The entire team suddenly became in chaos. Wenrui was riding on the war horse. Although he was not bombed, the horse was shocked by the explosion and screamed "Lianlu" and ran around. Fortunately, Wenrui was still in a hurry to get some horses, so he hurriedly tied the reins and pinched the horse's belly to prevent the force from controlling the war horse.

At this moment, there were dense gunfire sounds on both sides of the avenue, and the bullets were as dense as raindrops. The soldiers of the Eight Banners garrison fell to the ground one after another. The remaining soldiers could only find places to avoid bullets. The large and small packages and other items they carried were still all over the place, some of them were scattered, and silver, copper coins, brocade and utensils were scattered all over the ground.

Wenrui had just suppressed the war horse, and two bullets were flying by. Wenrui was so shocked that he was sweating in a cold sweat. He quickly rolled down from the horse's back and found a stone on the side of the road to hide. In less than 10 minutes, the Eight Banners garrison was beaten so hard that he could not raise his head. Wenrui was lying behind the big stone, and was shocked. The gunshots were dense, far better than the attack on Qiangou Village that day. If there were no fear of tens of thousands of guns, would it be possible that overseas Chinese would be launching a large army?

The time was not long, and the sound of killing gradually rose. On the left and right of the road, and in front and behind the team, countless soldiers wearing gray-green uniforms and bright bayonets were killed, and they came up. The sound was like thunder, the momentum was like tide, the blade was like lightning, and the mighty was like thunder. The pioneering sound of the Eight Banners garrison was taken away, and the momentum was declining. At this time, it was the opponent of the People's Army, so the two sides fought and were killed to the ground. The remaining Eight Banners soldiers dared to fight again, so they had to surrender. Some fled in scattered, but the cavalry of the People's Army attacked and chased and killed the Eight Banners soldiers.
