(Thank you for the reminder of the reader "madman", Wang Jian in the previous picture should be the coach.)
Only when Wang Jian's team arrived in Taiping County, they found that the battle had basically come to an end; only the corpses of the people and horses scattered on the battlefield and the busy figures of the auxiliary soldiers cleaning the battlefield on the spot. On the head of Taiping County, where several gaps were apparently blasted, the Kunpeng Green Banner, which represents control, was also planted.
When these support teams were assembled and assembled in the city, they came from the large buckets of hot soup and large baskets of steamed cakes purchased on-site in the city, as well as half a canned bean stew meat per person, which was also distributed to these soldiers. Hands.
Just after three or five bites of stewed meat with pancakes and rolls, they were almost finished eating the hot soup; then they received new orders. Turning to the westbound march to Taipingguan (now northwest of Xiangfen County, Shanxi Province, set up for the seventh year of Zhenguan), which was eleven miles away, armed investigation, waiting for the opportunity to decide whether to attack and seize the battle.
Here they also changed to a batch of more mules and horse pack animals on the turntable, and they continued to march intensively. A civil barrier with three walls built on the hillside is held in a rift zone derived from the southern foot of the Lvliang Mountain, just blocking a valley road leading to Cizhou (now Jixian County, Shanxi) from the northwest. stand up.
It's just that inside this half-mile-long barrier, the banner of the Hezhong Army is still planted at the moment, and the Jin army holding the Hedong Yanri flag is being attacked; it is just that the Jin army is constantly attacking it. Several gaps have already been broken through the bottom, and the fireworks fighting in the pass are especially visible from a few miles away.
Therefore, when Wang Jian’s group of pawns after the transfer arrived near Taiping Pass half an hour ahead of schedule, they were greeted by Daibei, who was waiting outside the pass, and turned around and came head-on. cavalry;
Feeling the knives and spears flickering in the billowing smoke and the smell of earth sent by the wind, the next moment this group of Taiping sergeants also stopped and transformed into wide and long horizontal lines amid the sharp whistle; and there were some bumps along the way. The uneven ground undulated, stepped onto the protrusion of a furrow, and slightly tilted towards the direction of the enemy.
The new whistle sounded again, and groups of white soldiers with hand cards, short spears, and narrow knives crossed the queue, and slid down and scattered in the shallow and half-length trenches and leaned down; and the back row stood side by side in front and back. The gunmen in the column also began to reload in an orderly manner.
And Wang Jian also began to personally put a piece of sugar-stained ginger into the mouths of the vanguards one by one, to divert the corresponding anxiety and tension, as a comfort before encountering the enemy's riding in the formation later. Then "Daqi Song" also began to ring unevenly in their queue.
The enemy riders in the smoke and dust inside and out said that they were far and near, and they entered the maximum range after almost a dozen breaths; and these Taiping sergeants also did not hesitate to buckle the raised guns at the whistle, for an instant. The brisk and dense sound of fried beans and the blooming of green smoke formed a wave of lead rain.
I saw that among the smoke and dust that was approaching quickly, the scattered figures of people and horses fell to the ground head-on after a pause, and were trampled and leaped over by the following cavalry; then, in the rustle of mechanical action, the old soldier The main vanguards also swiftly finished reloading again, and the blunderheads slightly slanted toward the enemy's head radiated again.
I saw that the enemy rider who had been within fifty paces stagnated again, and a few more statures fell down immediately. Then, the soldiers behind him swiftly handed out the firecrackers installed in the back row with their right hands, and took the empty firecrackers with their left hands and passed them to the two rows of soldiers who were loading back and forth behind them.
So in this short fifty or sixty steps, the elders standing at the head of the line have already released four rounds of volleys one after another according to the rhythm of breathing; the result in an instant is oncoming. The enemy riders looked like ears of rice that had been beaten by the wind, and the horses and horses neighed unevenly and fell one after another.
However, the remaining scattered enemy horses also rushed a dozen steps away, but they regrouped like a mid-stream to form a relatively tight rushing formation. At this time, they were handed to the vanguard again. It's not the long guns that get hot alternately, but the chain of guns with obvious bullet wheels.
In an instant, a whistle and a small flag fluttered down. In the front row, nearly a hundred Lianzhu bangs banged and banged, almost blasting out the six bullets filled in the bullet, and suddenly exploded in front of them. Several times the density of bullets rain like a curtain;
Those enemy horses that had been cleansed also seemed to have rammed into each other one after another. The invisible existence in the air was obstructing and obstructing them, and the blood and flowers bloomed all over their bodies and fell to the ground, and spread out quickly on the extension of the array of furrows and ridges. A messy blood-colored obstacle with overlapping sagittarius corpses came.
However, in the next moment, the vanguards of these empty bullets did not have the time to take into account the results of the battle and did not hesitate to drop the Lianzhu blunderbuss, and again took the long blunderbuss that had been inserted with the spikes; the wooden support was pressed forward against the toes in an instant. He crouched down, exposing the two rows of blunderbuss holding the shoulders and waist at the back of the body.
As the fireworks radiated, once again the enemy riders who rushed past the obstacles of the corpses were beaten up and staggered; then more enemy riders rushed forward immaculately. Seeing to fly over the ridges and furrows.
But the short spear that was suddenly raised by the white soldiers who had crouched in the ditch before, prodded the horse's chest, abdomen, neck, and waist; or swung a knife and slashed on the horse's hoof that was frightened and trampled, suddenly bloody. The splash fell down and rolled into one piece.
However, during the period when the enemy cavalry rammed into each other one after another, the white soldiers who smashed, stomped, and stabbed them all around while waving their weapons, were stabbed by the stabbing stings that stood up like a forest on the edge of the ditch. On the chest and shoulders, within and outside this shallow furrow, people and horses neighed and flew into a melee.
After the fierce battle, there were only a handful of Jin cavalry with dozens of horses, vying to retreat amidst the fading smoke and dust; and in the direction where they fled, the large group of Jin troops were just Arrived in a belated manner;
However, after only a brief respite, the Taiping Army's ranks, which became incomplete, were once again supplemented by the rear column, and the lined ups and shorts were re-targeted at the oncoming Jin army.
In the ensuing battle, no matter how bravely these Jin army pawns fought back and forth, they would never be able to cross the ditch that was filled up by the corpses of the horses and horses and piled up half of the ground.
Someone tried to bypass this ridge from both sides of the Taiping Army, but they were hit by the lead shot from the side and the back and rumbled back. In the end, they joined forces holding the big card and approached the front. The shield hand who came was also bombarded by the explosive bombs thrown in the air.
When the sky finally darkened and the half-damaged Taiping pawns and medicines were about to be exhausted; another group of Taiping tutu and foot knights holding the Kunpeng green flag also rushed to the faint drum horn. To the edge of the battlefield;
As a result, the last remaining thousands of Jin troops in the battlefield retreat in the night, also in the chasing noise filled with the flames and gunshots, turned into an outrageous defeat.
And when the night completely shrouded the earth, a small group of scarred defenders also walked out of the Taiping Pass where the dust had settled, and thus handed over the gateway to the hinterland of Cizhou.
After walking along this mountain track overnight with light clothing until dawn, he easily arrived at the unsuspecting town of Changning County in Cizhou. After taking Changning County lightly for repairs and supplements, the local division took advantage of victory to conquer the city again. Jichang, Wencheng and other places finally reached the east bank of the upper reaches of the Yellow River.
However, outside of Xiangling City, Jinzhou, in the messy wilderness of the trampled city, the Taiping Army and the Jin Army Battalion from the north and south of the Fenshui Valley, also came amidst the rumble of the cavalry camp carrying artillery. The prelude to a new round of encounters. (End of this chapter)
