scourge the qing dynasty

Chapter 288
"Long live the Qing Dynasty! Long live the Qing Dynasty! Long live the Qing Dynasty, long live, long live—!"

Amidst the cheers of joy and ecstasy, the warships of the Qing army, headed by the flagship of the Qing army navy, approached the Jiujiang North Gate wharf that had been completely damaged by the artillery bombardment one by one. The river bank embankment of the personnel, before the warship stopped, let alone put down the springboard, the soldiers and generals of the Qing army were already red-eyed, shouting the slogan "Long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, Emperor Kang Mazi of the Great Qing Dynasty", jumping onto the pier and jumping off the land , jumped into the shallow water, howled ghosts and howled towards the Jiujiang water gate that had been opened by the rebels of the Wu army.

Probably it was fantasizing about the beauty of raping and plundering after entering the city, or it might be the dream of being a feudal official, or it was more likely that it was a slave who made troubles. It was really for the sake of loyalty to the Qing Dynasty and Mazi Tartar, and to win the first to enter the city. The supreme glory of the Qing army secretly carried the elite Qing army in northern Jiangxi. The warships of the Qing army competed for each other, collided with each other, and rushed to land on the shore. The generals of the waiting Qing army not only did not stop them, but kept yelling, "Quick, land quickly! Enter the city quickly! The sooner the better!"

He was also sensible, and Hargaqi shouted: "Don't panic, don't be chaotic, gather first after landing, and then enter the city!" It's a pity that his voice was so weak amidst the thunderous cheers, so The soldiers and generals of the Qing army who fantasized about going to the city to make a fortune even if they heard it, pretended not to hear it. The mess was just scrambling to enter the city. The sailors who manipulated the flagship simply waved the flag directly to the water gate tower, just because the water gate was too small The flagship is too big to be able to enter the city, otherwise the flagship of the Qing army will definitely drive directly into the city.

"General of the Qing Dynasty, quickly invite the Qing army to enter the city!" A shout came from the city wall of Shuimen. Entering the city, Li Tianzhi's army of thieves is already coming here! Enter the city quickly, or it will be too late——!"

Of course, Halgaqi and E Nai didn't know who Li Tianzhi was, but judging from the tone of his voice and the shouts of killing coming from inside Jiujiang City, Hal Gaqi and E Nai could also guess the reason right away—it must be loyal to Li Tianzhi. Fatty Lu's Wu army found that the situation was wrong, and they had already rushed towards this side.At the moment Hargaqi also gave up his plan to rally into the city, and just kept shouting, "Go into the city, go into the city right away, go into the city and fight Wugou Xiang!"

Roaring, both Hargaqi and E Nai led their own troops to jump off the flagship, and rushed into the water gate with the flag of Shuai, intending to advance to the city to join Han Daren on the tower, and then organize the army to fight Wu Jun alleyway.And when the commander-in-chief's flag entered the city, the morale of the soldiers behind the Qing army was like a rainbow. Before the ships took turns to dock, they jumped onto the pier and rushed into the Jiujiang city gate that had been opened by the rebels of the Wu army.

Jiujiang Water Gate is a urn structure. In addition to the water gate outside, there is also a dry gate inside. You have to enter this dry gate to truly enter the city. However, the dry gate has already been opened by the rebels of the Wu army, and the other one is probably It was blocked by the sundries used by the Wu army, and it has not been opened yet, so it is easy for the Qing army to enter the Wengcheng, but it is difficult to enter the Hanmen. , but the speed of entering the city is even slower.And Hal Gaqi was not in a hurry, he just shouted: "Order all the troops to form a team quickly, Wu Gou's remnants are about to be killed!"

"Boom!" At this moment, there was a loud noise from behind Hargaqi, together with the pained screams and panicked screams of Qing soldiers. When Hargaqi looked back in surprise, , but was stunned to find that the water gate that had been lifted by the rebels of the Wu army had slammed to the ground at some point, smashing the Qing soldiers crowded under the water gate to bloody flesh, broken tendons and bones, and more than 2000 Qing soldiers who had rushed into the urn city. The soldiers of the army and the follow-up army of the Qing army outside were completely cut in two at once!
"Boom!" There was the sound of a new hanging door falling, and a solid iron fence suddenly fell down at the exit of the corridor leading to the city from Wengcheng, which cut off the Qing army's entry road in Wengcheng. Truly, completely turned into a turtle in a urn!
"I've been tricked—!" Hargaqi finally came to his senses, and screamed heart-piercingly, "We've been tricked!"

"Hahahahaha!" Amid wild laughter, Han Daren, who had met Hargaqi in the camp of the Qing army, stood beside the stack of arrows, beside Yitanbu who was tied up like a rice dumpling. Han Daren laughed maniacally and said, "Haer Gaqi, you have fallen for the trick of our great general! If you are smart, quickly kneel down and surrender, and I will spare you!"

"Kid Han Daren, I'll fuck your mother's eighteen generations of ancestors!" Hargaqi cursed in despair.

Han Daren smiled and didn't speak, just waved his hand, countless soldiers of the Wu army with bows, arrows and muskets stood on the wall of the urn city, and shot randomly at the completely surrounded Qing army, and at the same time threw countless stones There were thousands of enemies with the wood grenade, and the sound of violent explosions and desperate howls also stirred up in the urn city inside the water gate. Countless soldiers of the Qing army had no chance to fight back, and were shot into hedgehogs by random arrows on the spot. The random guns smashed into honeycombs, and they were blown up to the point where they were blown to pieces, causing ghosts to cry and wolves to howl.

"Dog thief! Shameless dog thief!" Halgaqi jumped up and down, pointing at Han Daren and cursing in despair, a stone the size of a millstone fell from the sky, and hit Halgaqi's head impartially, killing him, a member of the Qing court. The head of Shangshu Mite from the Ministry of Rites smashed into the neck cavity, his brains burst, and he died on the spot!

"Break open the water gate, run out!" E Nai, who was lucky enough to survive, shouted in despair, and led his soldiers to rush towards the way. However, before this Lord Baylor ran to the closed water gate, several grenades had already smashed his head and face. Come, it fell to the side of Master E Nai Belle and exploded, shaking Lord E Nai Belle's legs, and fell to the ground, and then he was trampled to death by the rebels, turning him into meat paste.

"Fire! Fire!" At the same time, on the Wu Army's fort, Line Yu'er in uniform waved the command flag with his little hands, ordering the Wu Army's gunners to fire again.The Wu Jun gunner, who had already cooled the gun barrel sufficiently and replenished the ammunition, did not hesitate to put the torches one after another on the fuse, and the fuse sizzled and squeaked into the barrel, causing a mighty explosion. Amidst the sound, row after row of cannonballs came out again, shooting at the unprepared Qing army gunboat, and a new violent explosion sounded again in the unprepared Qing army fleet.

"Light it up." Han Daren ordered coldly, and the soldiers next to him quickly lit the fuse on the tower, and the fuse hidden in the bamboo tube crawled quickly, gradually climbed down the city wall, got into the ground, and then followed the bamboo tube buried deep in the ground. Crawl in all directions.Immediately afterwards, on the wharf crowded with Qing soldiers outside the water gate, violent explosions suddenly erupted one after another. Although the power of the original black powder landmine was not very great, it suddenly exploded under the feet, killing and injuring everyone. Two Qing soldiers are definitely not a problem.Amid the bursts of explosions, the soldiers of the Qing army who were densely packed like ants on the pier screamed and screamed, their flesh and blood ran wildly, they ran for their lives, trampled on each other, and countless people died.

"Kill!" At the same time, in Jiujiang City, soldiers of the Wu Army who were ambushing in the private houses swarmed out, rushed towards the soldiers of the Qing Army who were lucky enough to enter the city and were not trapped in the urn, shouting the slogan of surrender and not killing. Hacking and hacking, slashing and killing these lucky and unlucky soldiers of the Qing army, how could they reach the thousands of soldiers of the Wu army who entered the city, throwing their weapons and kneeling down Surrendered, and occasionally a few stubborn resisters were quickly chopped into pieces by the Wu army ambush led by Li Tianzhi.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The shelling on the Wu Army Fort was still going on, and the force and speed were even worse than before. In a short while, four warships sank slowly under the cover of the Wu army's artillery, completely losing their rescue value. The soldiers of the Qing army on board jumped into the water to escape for their lives.

Of course, the gunboats of the Qing army were not completely beaten honestly. There were also many Qing army warships that turned their hulls under the command of the captain and fired back at the Wu army forts. It’s just that everyone knows the accuracy of artillery shooting in this era. By adjusting the shooting angle to control the distance, as for adjusting the shooting target left and right, it can only rely half on luck and half on the gunner's experience-otherwise, the record of Wu Jun's artillery is far more than that.Therefore, most of the shells fired by the warships of the Qing army fell on the Qing army soldiers inside and outside the water gate, and many of them fell on the crowded water gate wharf On the bow of the blocked Qing army warship, countless soldiers were killed and injured.

At this time, Ghent Batulu, the vice-commander of the Qing Army Navy, who was in vain chasing Li Guodong of the Wu Army Navy, had also returned to the water surface of the Yangtze River outside the Jiujiang Water Gate. Fight back, while sending warships to meet the defeated soldiers near the water gate.I never thought that just after the adjustment, the cunning and shameless Li Guodong fleet has turned around and returned, taking advantage of the fire to kill the Ghent fleet, taking advantage of the upstream and rushing into the Ghent fleet to fight, while firing cannons and arrows, while releasing back to the fleet. The sky sampan blew up three Qing warships one after another, sank two and captured one. The Ghent fleet was in complete chaos, so they had to flee to their own gunboat brigade for protection. .

The battle on the surface of the water became fierce, and the war on the pier also started at the same time. After the turtle in the urn solved the trapped Qing army in the urn, the Wu army reopened the dry gate and water gate of the urn. People, while rushing to the Qing warships to seize the ships, the Qing soldiers were already in a mess, scrambling to escape to the warships outside the formation, running and jumping, or falling into the water or the ship, trampling each other, the dead were countless .

The battle has come to this point, not to mention that the commander of the third battlefield of the Qing army, Hargaqi, and the commander of the navy, E Nai, have already died in battle, and the Qing army has no leader. There is no power to recover from the meeting, and it is already doomed to a catastrophic defeat.What's worse, as the battle situation of the third battlefield spread, it immediately brought a catastrophic chain reaction to the Meijiazhou battlefield and the Dagutang battlefield where the Wu army and the Qing army fought fiercely!

………………

Let’s first look at the Meijiazhou battlefield. Relying on the advantage of the river, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army, Hilgen, first received the news that the Hargaqi army had suffered heavy losses, and then he was stunned and repeatedly confirmed that the news was not true. After the holiday, the old fox Xiergen, whose battlefield experience was completely comparable to that of the old traitor Wu, collapsed on the spot on the high ground on the east bank of Poyang Lake under the setting sun, and almost vomited blood to death on the spot.After being helped by his own soldiers, Hilgen cursed again in despair.

"Lu Yifeng, son! Han Daren, you bastard! I'll fuck your [-]th generation ancestors! You two bastards! You bastards -- ah --!"

"General, general!" The generals of the Qing army were afraid that Xiergen was old and frail, and they would get angry on the spot, so they rushed up to support Xiergen, and persuaded him in one go: "General, victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. You must not get angry or lose your temper."

"Yes, General, our lake-crossing army is still firmly nailed to the west bank of Poyang Lake, and we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory!"

"General, our lake crossing fleet is back again. Please show me whether to cross the lake and attack!"

After all, Hilgen is an old sparrow who has grown up on the battlefield. When the news of the sudden disastrous defeat came, of course there will be despair and gaffes, but it is not enough to give up in despair. After trying to calm himself down, Hilgen resumed Start to observe the battlefield and start to calculate countermeasures again.As for the Meijiazhou battlefield commanded by Hilgen, the situation of the Qing army is indeed not so bad that it cannot be saved. At least the Qing army's troop transport fleet still exists, and there are more than [-] troops left. The infantry and cavalry of the Qing army have already landed on the east bank. On the east bank of Poyang Lake, the Qing army still has about [-] fresh troops available, and all of them are the Eight Banners cavalry who are the most loyal and reliable to the Qing court. Not to be underestimated.

As a result, Hilgen had only two options left. One was to quickly organize the Qing army on the other side to retreat to the east bank, and at the same time order the navy and Zhao Guozuo's troops to retreat separately, so as to preserve their vitality for future defense of the city. war.The second is to go all out, take a desperate gamble, and take advantage of the current advantage in the water to carry all the troops across the shore. Even if it is impossible to capture Jiujiang City, you can still bite off the Wu army in the field, and even more. Zhao Guozuo's army can be supported to prevent him from fighting alone and facing the danger of annihilation of the entire army.

"Withdrawing the troops now, our army that has already landed will definitely suffer a great loss in the retreat, and Zhao Guozuo is also in danger. Even if we fail to attack Jiujiang City, we can save the landing army and Zhao Guozuo, and take advantage of the momentum to go south to protect Nanchang. Although the division suffered heavy losses, it still won't lose the wind on the water surface, Wugou has no advantage on the water surface, and Anqing City doesn't have to worry about it in a short time!"

After quick calculation for a moment, Hilgen gritted his teeth, jumped up and shouted: "Send the order, board the boat across the lake, break the boat, and fight Wu Gou to the death! Then send Zhao Guozuo to give up restraining Wu Gou and retreat to Nankang City to preserve his strength For the top!"

The order was conveyed, and the fourth wave of the Qing army crossing the lake, which had been waiting on the pier for a long time, boarded the boat one by one. With the determination to die, they paddled and rushed to the west bank of Poyang Lake.Fatty Lu under the Wu Jun banner on the west bank received the news that Han Daren and Li Guodong and other generals had succeeded in a surprise attack, and after discovering this situation, he couldn't help laughing and said: "The old fox jumped over the wall in a hurry, and is about to die."

After laughing, Fatty Lu stood up and ordered: "Ming Jin withdraws the troops, the whole army retreats two miles, and makes room for the Man Gou to land! Then order the Hutong Chunhe Quan Festival, telling them to withdraw from the battlefield before it gets dark, and retreat Rest in the back."

The order was promulgated, and a moment later, the sound of Mingjin sounded in the Wu army formation. The Wu army brigade retreated in large strides to make room for the Qing army to land. And the retreat gradually left the battlefield. Although the Qing army had been chasing and killing for most of the day, they were exhausted and did not dare to chase too far to touch the new force of the Wu army. Take the time to organize the team, rescue the wounded soldiers, rest and accumulate energy, and wait for the next round of life-and-death battle.

When Hu Tongchun and Quan Jie's team withdrew to the rear of the brigade, less than half of the [-] infantry that went out into battle were now less than half. Can speak softly and comfort, order to reward the disabled soldiers and do their best to rescue the wounded soldiers.However, the Qing army's side is obviously not much better. The entire dock battlefield in Meijiazhou has been covered with the corpses of soldiers from the two armies. Casualties on both sides were too great to describe.

After waiting patiently for half an hour, the fourth wave of Qing troops crossing the lake landed, and the troop carrier turned back to meet the fifth wave of Qing troops, and waited patiently until the fifth wave of Qing troops boarded and set sail towards Poyang Lake. When the west bank charged, the sky was almost completely dark, and countless torches and bonfires were raised in the Wu army team. It was also at this time that Fatty Lu finally stood up from the flag formation, and said with a smile: "The time for the general attack has finally come, beat the drums, the rocket formation Go forward, face the full dog brigade, and give me a hard bomb! Hard bomb!"

........................

Long before Fatty Lu ordered the Wu army on the Meijiazhou battlefield to launch a general offensive, on the Dagutang battlefield, at half past midnight in the evening, after confirming that the Jiujiang Shuimen battlefield was sure to win, Gao Hongchen's team, the last reserve team of Gao Dejie's side division, was on the battlefield. A general attack had already been launched against Zhao Guozuo, the partial division of the Qing army. However, Gao Hongchen’s reserve team did not rush to the right-wing battlefield where the self-army’s fatigue was beginning to show. He went straight to the battlefield of the Chinese army, where the self-army had the upper hand, and took advantage of the last light of the sun to go straight to Zhao Guozuo's flag formation.

At this moment, on the battlefield of the Dagutang Central Army, Wu Jun's infantry brigade has indeed firmly gained the absolute upper hand. The last cavalry sent by Zhao Guozuo was blown up by the last [-] rockets of Wu Jun's partial division, and there were not many left, including Zhao Guozuo's The second son, Zhao Hui, was killed on the spot. The infantry of the Wu army took the opportunity to throw down the useless rocket launcher, and rushed into the gap in the tortoise formation of the Qing army with all their strength, completely destroying the final foundation for Zhao Guozuo's army to compete with the Wu army. The rear army reunited, reorganized the defense line and resisted hard, dying. Fortunately, there were still thousands of troops, who could barely block it, and gradually gathered into a group to fight hard against the Wu army. .

It is only a temporary thing not to show defeat. After Gao Hongchen's cavalry team, which has been recharging for a long time, joined the battlefield, the exhausted Qing army team suddenly couldn't hold on, and Gao Hongchen's cavalry team was cut like a knife cutting tofu. The team pointed at the position of Zhao Guozuo's flag formation with the tip of their swords, and the shouts of capturing Zhao Guozuo alive were endless, like thunder shaking the sky.Zhao Yue and Chang Jinggong, who were in the distance, saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly turned back to rescue Zhao Guozuo. Gao Dejie led the army to chase after him, and at the same time drew his bow and arrow in the chaotic army, and shot Chang Jinggong in the back of the neck with one arrow. The arrow pierced through the neck and went straight into the throat, sending Zhao Guozuo, the beloved general, to the west. The Qing cavalry, who were also exhausted, were in chaos and fled in all directions.

At this time, there was complete chaos on the Dagutang battlefield. Zhao Guozuo's personal soldiers surrounded Zhao Guozuo and ran for his life with all his strength. The Qing army that finally regrouped into a regiment collapsed again, scattered in all directions, and each fled for their lives. The Wu army's momentum was like a rainbow. Shouting the slogan of surrendering a lot, they chased and killed them with all their strength, desperately wiped out the remnants of the Qing army, and captured countless.Only Gao Hongchen's new force clung to Zhao Guozuo's banner, saying that he would kill this mite whose hands were stained with the blood of the Han people.

It is also due to the bad luck of the old traitor Zhao Guozuo, who ran for his life in a hurry at dusk, and fled to the southeast in a panic, not only getting farther and farther away from the rescue of his eldest son Zhao Yue, but also fled to the edge of Poyang Lake unknowingly, seeing the Wu army cavalry chasing after him Not only that, but the troops were divided to block the road going south, so Zhao Guozuo had no choice but to give up his horse and let two soldiers who could swim swim with him on their backs to escape, while the rest of the soldiers fought to the death on the spot to buy time for Zhao Guozuo to escape.

"It's full of dogs! The lake is full of dogs!" Zhao Guozuo's traitor's luck was indeed unfounded. Two soldiers carried him on their backs and had just escaped to the south for less than a mile when a Wu army scout boat jumped out of the reeds. , Shouting and rushing towards the three of Zhao Guozuo—you know, because the Qing army’s water surface power is too strong, Wu Jun’s scouting ships in Poyang Lake are actually very pitiful, and Zhao Guozuo rarely encounters them by diving for his life. It can be compared to the 500 million in the lottery.

"Brothers, we're in luck! We're a high-ranking official! Catch him alive!" With the last light in the dusk, the scouts on the Wu Jun scout ship saw the general's armor on Zhao Guozuo's body. Nocking the arrow kept shouting, "Surrender, don't kill! Surrender, don't kill!"

"Retribution!" The old traitor Zhao Guozuo, who has no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth, who once personally commanded the notorious wars such as Yangzhou Ten Days, Jiading Three Tucheng and Jiangyin Tucheng, sighed, pulled out his waist knife, and shouted, "Master, The slave is incompetent, lost his teacher and humiliated the country, so he can only apologize with death!"

After saying that, Zhao Guozuo returned the knife and wiped his neck vigorously, the dirty blood splashed, the superior carotid artery of the old traitor was severed, and he died on the spot. After a personal soldier confessed the identity of the old traitor Zhao Guozuo to the Wu Jun scouts, all the unscrupulous scouts of the Fatty Army trained by Lu Fatty's good friend Kong Fanlin were all angry, "You mother's old thing, I would rather die than stand up for the old men. Great work! Brothers, cut off the head of this old man and ask for credit, drag the body ashore, chop it up and feed it to the dogs!"

"That's right! Put some shit on the old man, and let him be a ghost for 1 years—! Capture Jiangxi Admiral alive, what a credit!"

On the evening of March 13, 25th year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Guozuo, the admiral of Jiangxi in the Qing Dynasty, was defeated and died. After his death, he was beheaded and humiliated by Wu Jun soldiers.
........................

At the same time, on the Meijiazhou battlefield, the main force of the Fatty Army under the personal command of Lu Fatty cleared the way with rocket vehicles, and had already launched a full-scale attack on the Qing army crossing the lake at the Meijiazhou Wharf. More than two hundred rocket vehicles, large and small, More than [-] Mihao rockets were sprayed out in one volley, and the Mihao rockets dragging white smoke roared into the Qing army, and they exploded violently one after another. All around, blood and flesh flew wildly, cries were like thunder, and screams were like waves.

"咻咻咻咻——!" Another series of Miyoshi rockets spurted out with red tail flames, mercilessly pounced on the densely packed and panic-stricken Qing army team, and the Qing army cavalry who had just assembled into an army were about to launch a charge The team was in complete chaos, people and horses were running around, trampling on each other, countless people were killed, bombed to death, and trampled to death. In addition, the fifth wave of troop transport fleet had just landed, and the Qing soldiers and horses on board wanted to land. The cavalry and infantry of the Qing army wanted to board the boat, and you fought over each other, crowded each other, scuffled each other, fell into the water countless times, and the boats sank countless times. The sound of people shouting and neighing echoed not only on the pier, but also in the water.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Sanhao rockets are still spraying. It's not because Fatty Lu treats himself more favorably than others. He only gave Gao Dejie [-] rockets but he opened them up. There are many cavalry, and the value is far different. In this era, killing a Manchu can save hundreds of people of all ethnic groups in China, and reduce the future burden for thousands of people in China. Definitely worth it.

Some friends will definitely ask, even Fatty Lu holds a powerful Miyoshi rocket in his hands, why didn't he use it before, but why he only uses it now, and sacrificed so many soldiers of the Wu army for no reason?This is exactly the insidiousness of Fatty Lu. If it is used during the day, when the number of Qing troops on the Meijiazhou Wharf is small, then not only is the cost-effective ratio low, but once the huge power of the Miyoshi rocket is exposed, it will be used for a long time. The old fox Xiergen, who was on guard against Miyoshi Rockets in every possible way, saw it with a telescope on the east bank. Naturally, he refused to say anything and took the courage to break the boat, and continued to transport the precious elite cavalry to the west bank.

Therefore, it can only be used when the Qing army has crossed half of the lake and the sky is completely dark, so as to kill Huaxia parasites more effectively and clear the Eight Banners. In the real situation, I can't decide whether to order the withdrawal of troops, or continue to cross the lake to die?

"What's going on on the other side?" Just as Fatty Lu expected, Hilgen saw the flames on the battlefield on the east bank, and heard the constant explosions and the cries of the self-armed army, but he couldn't see the west bank of Poyang Lake clearly. The real situation on the battlefield, the feeling in my heart is naturally like a knife, and my forehead is so anxious that smoke is on my forehead. I can't make up my mind whether to continue crossing the lake or order a retreat. There is only one thought in my heart, "What should I do? What should I do? Emperor Taizong, teach your slaves!"

"Keep shooting! Keep shooting!" Contrary to Hilgen's urgency, at this moment, Fatty Lu is calm and composed, just waving his fat hand, and ordered like a villain triumphantly, "Let Qin Yong send 3000, [-] rockets Shoot all the light, not a single one is allowed!"

After Xiao Erlang took the order and left, Fatty Lu turned to An Jiarong, the general of the Fatty Army who was eager to fight, and said with a smile: "Nephew, when the rockets are finished shooting, you will be the vanguard. Go up and kill the dogs when you see them. You're welcome, it's up to you."

"Uncle, don't worry, my nephew won't be polite to a dog!" An Jiarong nodded vigorously, raised his thick-backed giant sword as tall as half a man, and shouted at the more than [-] Miao Yi warriors with heads wrapped in white cloth behind him: " Brothers, after the rocket is shot, follow me, what will you do if you see Mangou?"

"Kill—!" More than 800 huge swords were raised above their heads, and the neat and loud slogans echoed on the shore of Poyang Lake, "Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill all dogs—!"
