Compared with the beacon in Guanzhong, a great battle is also on the horizon in the southeast coast of Tianzhu, a five-way distance from Guangfu. The root cause of this war was one of a series of chain reactions triggered by the Taiping Army in order to penetrate and grasp the origin of the Tianzhu nitrate soil.
It's just that the two sides facing the battle this time are the resurgent army, which is the survivor of the Baltic dynasty, and the rebel coalition army from the homeland of the Baltic dynasty. The main force and leader of the rebel coalition is the once-Zula Dynasty/Zhuliye country In China, the Anchinash clan, the largest aristocrat who is also a family relative.
Most of the soldiers on the left and right wings of the rebel coalition did not have uniform uniforms and weapons. Many of them were barefoot with dirty cloth heads, holding rusty knives, forks, wooden spears, etc., and guided by a chaotic flag. Different camps.
The Anchinash clan in the center is much more glamorous and neat. Not only there are uniform three-color cloth shirts and chest-hanging leather armor, but also colorful cloth belts are wrapped around the spearheads as a guide; among them, the most elite wear bright-colored chain mail and wrapped helmets, and hold a scimitar and a foreskin rattan.
In addition, behind the crowded array, there are even a dozen elephants faintly; and they are not the ordinary mammoths used for daily riding and transportation, but rattan armour and felt are installed on their bodies. The nose is wrapped in a thick cloth cover, and there is a standard war elephant with a spearman and a short archer standing on the saddle.
And in the formation. There are also many bullock carts of different sizes with gold, silver, PayPal, colored silk polyester, and crank cover hanging down, as well as multiplayer chariots with bizarre shapes around them with wheel cones and blade edges. A golden flaming banner head and colored banner, representing the honorable status second only to the former royal family.
At this time, as the last Buddhist kingdom of the five countries, the Baltic dynasty, which once relied on the sea transport hand trade, and the rich agricultural output of the ancestral Goveri Valley, was strong for a while. A few years ago, the capital was destroyed by an enemy country, and most of the royal family died. Therefore, it is now a chaotic situation in which a large number of land has fallen, and princes and princes are divided.
In the end, there was only one concubine born by a humble dowry maid who was born out of the prince Zhedi Na, but he was lucky enough to escape, and escaped by sea to settle in the territory of Annan; he wanted to be a monk, but he was a monk. Yangcuo was introduced by the local monks and got help and support from the Taiping Army Metropolitan Mansion from the East.
Therefore, a year ago, the Prince Zedina of Polo was also in the port city of Tamaluri (now Tamruk in Bengal). He completed the enthronement ceremony and was renamed Patmore III. As a new king, the first thing he did when he came to the throne and began to restore the country was to gradually crusade several small princes and vassals near the port city, and he won the first battle.
Therefore, under the name of this new emperor, it seems that he has become a force that owns nine cities, large and small, and more than forty village communities/natives; attached to five thousand native soldiers; but this is also a force. The counterattack and hostility of the princes who came to the domestic separatist rule. Therefore, this time led by the Anchinash clan gathered nearly 20,000 coalition forces to attack.
Therefore, in contrast, there are several square matrices of different sizes, but they all carry the Bayeux flag representing the Polo royal family. The sources are not all the same, but the only thing in common is that they are all armed with the ordnance provided by the Metropolitan Government, and they are all armed by sea from thousands of miles.
Among them, the most neat and savvy is the Guangfu Yisong under the leadership of Captain Guoyi Anton, and there are three regiments about a thousand elite soldiers with complete weapons. The army was recruited by Tuyi and Shanmin children from Annan and Lingxi. Among them were senior veterans who had retired from the Taiping Army and soldiers trained by the Offshore Inspection Department in rotation.
Anton was originally a "Hu Nizi" left by foreign merchants and merchants in the Cantonese artisans in the past generations. He belongs to the most humble hybrid who lived on the streets not long after he was born. After suffering, he could easily survive to a middle-aged male, and then he could be a foreigner. The Huangchao army is willing to accept them and compile them as a daring camp to drive forward.
Only a small number of people survived and became a member of the Cantonese patrol team after a lot of deaths and injuries. It coincided with the chaos in Canton and became a prisoner of the Taiping Army overnight. In the end, the metropolitan governor forgives and retains these poor people, so that they can get what they use and live in the world with dignity.
And Anton is undoubtedly the most loyal and hard-working representative of the chief governor who was grateful during the period. Therefore, after "Fei Kong", the leader of the armed guards of the foreign business group, led a group of tribes to the north to become Wenzhou masters; as a deputy, he was also promoted and succeeded as a foreign business road and opened up a career to escort him. The person in charge of the exclusive armed escort.
Standing in front of the left-hand side is Nan Qiyun, the former leader of the rebel army, nicknamed "South Mountain Thief".
As them, in the process of the rise of the Taiping Army, they are willing to intersect with their people and strongholds, and take their fortune to the south to be the chiefs of the public. Afterwards, the Metropolitan Government did not deliberately target and exploit them, but instead gave them. Pointed out a way to make a living towards overseas trade and solicitation.
Therefore, after dealing with a group of restless generations in the original Cantonese Mutiny, Nan Qiyun was rewarded in disguised form for behaving in this chaos-leading the Ministry to participate in this round of overseas recruitment activities Qualifications for admission.
However, he was conscious that his capital was limited and he wanted more, so he simply took out this share as a reason, so that the former leaders of the rebel army, who were also rich and public, contributed the corresponding money, manpower, and materials. Share the benefits in the middle of the joint stocks.
Therefore, nowadays, these wealthy apartments, no longer need to rush and manage, they can take advantage of their profits, or enjoy a stable share; therefore, anyone who wants to disrupt the Cantonese government and ruin the maritime trade business , Is undoubtedly the enemy they hate.
And their children, tribesmen, and tribes also used the residual heat and enjoyed the share of the spoils in this large-scale external conquest. Therefore, the first exploratory army that tens of thousands of people came across the sea, they accounted for more than one-third; and Nan Qiyun, who led the battle personally, was the first to look forward to it.
Of course, because their financial and material resources are uneven, the corresponding equipment is also messy, but at least it can ensure that everyone has a leather sheath or stacked paper armor, and the worst is a stainless steel machete or The configuration of the standard iron cone gun.
And because most of them are from the rebels who have been fighting with officials under poor equipment, they are better at fighting chaos and melee in a complex and narrow environment, and even relying on these messy equipment to cooperate with tacit battles and fights. .
Those who live on the right side of Guangfu Yicong are the private guards sponsored and supported by the great sea clan. After the Taiping Army gradually showed its control over the sea, these unprecedented forces became a burden and trouble in a sense; therefore, participating in the conquest is also a more appropriate way out.
In addition, there are those salt lords, private traffickers and subordinates who used to be active in the coastal and inland areas, but under the annihilation and elimination of the Taiping Army navy forces, who had to go ashore to survive and redeem themselves. Bringing their family and their mouths to participate in this conquest is their way to whitewash.
Among them, there are some monks wearing dark clothes such as tan, brown, etc., but they are the product and sequelae of the rectification of the forests of Liangling by the Taiping Army. After being limited in the number of monasteries and the proportion of monks who were attached to it, naturally a large number of monks and nuns who did not meet the requirements of the Qing Dynasty were forced to return to the secular, and the places were confiscated.
Among them, as one of the outlets for the superfluous monks outside of the normal organization, follow the overseas conquest and merchant ship groups to spread the essence and harmony of Buddhism after the reform of the East China. In a sense, it is of great significance and achievement for them to revive such a fruitful state of Tianzhu Buddha.
Therefore, it is divided into two types and development routes: protector (martial) monk and learned (preacher) monk. But in any case, as long as they are able to expand and build a temple outside of Central China, there will naturally be a temple’s establishment and recognition of its origins.
Therefore, surrounded by these muscular guardians and scholarly monks, sitting on a specially transformed lacquered treasure car, this is the nominal leader of this decisive battle-Emperor Patmore III.
In addition, in the last period, among the local soldiers recruited and recruited, Tianzhu Zhuangyong (cannon fodder) selected by the "choose the taller among the dwarfs"; the only purpose of appearing here is to wave the flag and shout with great momentum, and feel the atmosphere of the battlefield at the same time. Preparing for the array. But the total before and after is only half of the opponent's.
Therefore, the current confrontation situation inevitably presents a certain sense of Tian Ji horse racing mode; this is also the battle mode of most lords and monarchs in the land of Tianzhu. Because they basically don't know what tactics and tactics are, most of them set up a decisive battle in the open place, or they retreat under the disadvantage of the city and blindly defend themselves.
Therefore, Nan Qiyun and his brothers are always able to fight in various battles; they are able to take different countermeasures and methods to meet the various combat needs of Guangfu Yicong, and this time is obviously no exception.
Then, in front of the smoke and dust of the enemy formation, I saw a group of Yicong crossbowmen standing in front of the formation, and began to raise the strong crossbow to shoot arrows in the first step in the sound of the command; hundreds of thousands of arrows were shot all over the sky. That room baptized the rebel coalition forces.
It was like mowing the grass with countless splashes of blood, one after another through the unprotected bodies of the coalition soldiers in the front row, and immediately cleared out a piece of wailing, screaming, corpses among the enemy formations that slowly walked in. The bloody gap of Yokojuji comes.
So for a while, the two wings of the rebel coalition forces that became sparser began to waver and chaos, and the Anchinash clan soldiers in the center couldn't help but stop; the archers who came up from behind shot out a sporadic burst. Most of his arrows fell on the muddy ground in front of the Restoration Army.
The restoring army who saw this for a while couldn't help but shouted with great morale. In the next moment, the array of troops on the left and right wings, amidst the percussion of their respective golden boards, rushing forward to the scattered enemy formations hundreds of steps away, according to their respective family’s children and trilogy. In the gap.
However, when they were in the dust of the melee, the slashing and killing did not last long, and suddenly their eyes were empty again, and in the smoke and dust in front of them a dozen behemoths with teeth and claws, raising their feet and waving their noses appeared.
I saw these fully-clothed war elephants, stimulated and driven by Yushou's scratching hook, and without hesitation, trampled on the fleeing pawns, and slammed into the head of the Restoration Army who had slashed and killed them head-on.
Amid the fierce screams and screams, the soldiers who rushed too fast, together with the enemy being chased after them, were like rags of paper being torn and flying, and flew into pieces. Scattered in the dust again.
And behind the dozens of war elephants, there are dozens of tanks with rumbling wheels, smashing out of the two wings like razors that scrape the battlefield; and the human body where it passes, regardless of the enemy or me. Broken and torn into two sections and three sections.
I saw the enemy's strength like an inverted bead curtain, adorned with the Resurrection Army, which showed the collapse and decline, and came back; Guangfu Yicong, who was still in the center, changed again, but it was the crossbows that shot at the front. The hands retreated to the two sides like flowing water, revealing the rows of small cannons that had been arranged in a row.
With the flags that were successively shaken and flew, the hot cannons that rushed out of the fireworks blasted through the thin lines of smoke and ash and bombarded between the oncoming war elephants and the rolling chariots. ; Suddenly, there was a louder clamor.
When hit by the side face and splashing between the red and white, the war elephant dumped forward in inertia before even the wailing sound; in the splashing earth wave, the wheel hub was brittle and flew into a piece of war. The car; the human body that was thrown into the air by huge inertia and smashed to the ground, being crushed over without intermittent.
But more are those uninjured war elephants, and those horses dragging the chariot, who turned around and turned left and right in the horror of the loud noise; the horizontal reflexion will follow the following coalition pawns to the smashed and trampled. .
And this short and fierce shelling was like some kind of command and sign. Suddenly, among the bushes of trees separated by a small river from the side of the battlefield, they shook one after another, revealing groups of horse heads and helmet tops;
And the hundreds of ponies and mule cavalry ambushing in the woods have also become the final decisive force in the chaotic battlefield.
I saw them rushing across the shallow river in a blink of an eye, and then inserted unimpededly behind the enemy's front, among the cars of the noble lords; almost one after another, one after another, the flags representing prominent identities were chopped down to the ground. .
And seeing this scene, even with those coalition soldiers who could not advance or retreat, they collapsed in a shocked uproar on the spot. However, despite the humiliated heads and faces, the restoring army, who retreated to the vicinity of the original formation, once again chased after it with soaring morale. (End of this chapter)
