On the battlefield where the bridge head is nearing the end, Qu Chengyu, who once again broke through the enemy line and killed him, passed through the bridge that had become black and mutilated, and looked at the army array on the opposite bank that was slowly retreating. It's like abandoning something without hesitation. It's just that he doesn't have much room for pursuing and expanding the results at the moment, but can only give priority to solving and digesting the remaining enemies on the battlefield.
And as the enemy troops on the other side that were still well-deserved gradually moved away; the officers and soldiers who had been rushed away but still struggling with self-contained beasts also seemed to have lost their backbone and supporting strength; suddenly bursting out. Amidst a burst of clamor, anger, and faint crying, the morale plummeted by the naked eye, and then they collapsed and fled one after another.
Then what Qu Chengyu had to face was that these officers and soldiers, who saw no way to escape, began to surrender and kneel down to beg for mercy, resulting in the number of prisoners who needed to be taken care of; it far exceeded the real problem of manpower brought by him.
After all, it is not an easy task to re-operate these seized officials and military river boats. Fortunately, there are still some soldiers in this riding camp who have worked in water operations; therefore, these seizures were used by the bumpers; then the water slowly entered the road and stopped two more, and the maneuvering was too late. One; this was able to transport the remaining manpower and barely caught up with the end of the battle.
I thought that these few other parts of the rebel army, with a combined total of 7,000 or 8,000 people, could at least hold this early bird of the northern army for a while; and create more fighters for the cavalry camp. The result was that they missed their fighting strength and will; the result was that the Taiping army, which was responsible for knowing and supervising their actions, was not superficial and almost collapsed on the spot.
Fortunately, some people finally persisted to the end, and gave them this fresh force a chance to sneak attack and blossom in the center. But in reality, he rushed along the river bank to ride the infantry pawns, and the total amount was more than a thousand; in the end, he received more than two thousand captures on the battlefield. Although the results are quite fruitful, the follow-up handling is also very troublesome.
Once the retreating officers and soldiers on the other side notice something, or leave a secret whistle and eyeliner to see through the fiction and reality here; then there is a high probability that they will come back and eat his bluffing partial teacher. At least this place can't stay longer.
"Let the order go on and throw away these ships and extra objects..."
Qu Chengyu decisively said.
"Assemble all the carts and horses, bring the wounded and drive away the captives, we approached Yanling City nearby... and then sent the pigeons to send a message, rest here for a while and wait for the rendezvous with the support of our team..."
And beside the big ship that was stranded on the shore, among the crowd surrounded by another group of soldiers, there was also some kind of amazing exclamation and sigh.
"Rockets, yes, this is a rocket... Not those fire arrows with oil-soaked cloth or pyrophoric tubes; it is a new type of firearm named by the leader himself, which is much easier to carry than those ejected cups and flasks. what.."
Zheng Chen Nian, the team of the pass fire throwing team, also explained loudly to Zhou.
"As long as you don't wear armor, one person can use the equipment to carry two of them for a hundred and eighty miles; if you change to a workhorse or a donkey mule, a load rack can hold him eight or nine... Find a rack Either you can dig a dry pit, and you can go out by yourself when you light the fire. You don’t need any equipment to help, it’s not worrying and troublesome."
"If you just want to be accurate, you must have good eyesight and mathematics, and at the worst, you must be able to measure the approximate position and distance, so as not to waste the power of this thing..."
"Unfortunately this time, for the raid and rescue needs, I have all been lighted up. Otherwise, no matter how many officers and soldiers come, they can continue to deal with another battle..."
. . . . . .
When Wang Shenchao, who was bleeding and cold, numb and unconscious, woke up again, he found that he was already covered by the eaves of a rather empty building; there was still a kind of familiarity in the air. And a little pungent smell. So he instinctively tightened his body in a strange place, and slowly relaxed and sighed.
Although he has not been in the rebel army for a long time, and the period of the assistant pawn is only a few months; but it is enough to make him pay attention to and notice many details of the Taiping army; for example, he used to be an assistant pawn. , Carried two condolences to the exclusive battlefield rescue camp;
I found that it was unexpectedly clean and tidy, and there was not much gloomy atmosphere. As long as the wounded were still able to move, they were singing or listening, or using some simple equipment to resume training. There was actually such a mental outlook. It’s refreshing at the same time; I also remember the means used to maintain environmental hygiene.
For example, when the Taiping Army set up a camp, it collected large amounts of vinegar and quicklime on the spot. Because in accordance with the hygiene and epidemic prevention instructions in the issued service regulations booklet: whether it is ash or steamed acetic acid, it can effectively eliminate and contain the disease seeds in the wind, water, soil, and dust.
Therefore, being able to smell such a characteristic acetic acid smell also means that the pointer is under the control of the Taiping Army and the safest ambulance camp is located. Thinking of this, he couldn't help swallowing, because he had seen food for the seriously wounded. As long as conditions permit, he eats canned food twice in three days.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but check his abdomen. He had been stuffed with hemostatic medicine and sealed the arrow wound with ointment; only when he supported it, he could feel obvious pain and pain, so One of his thoughts completely fell to the ground, and he was obviously no longer in danger of life.
Then, Wang Shenchao, who was worried about the whereabouts of the other two younger brothers, was using his eyes to look at the various people in this rather spacious courtyard; he was surprised to find the figure of an acquaintance.
That stiff-mouthed Fu Cun actually survived. He was only injured by the skin and flesh, and it looked like he was suffering from the wounds of the face-to-face confrontation. Now he is still hanging around the camp with energy, and then standing under a wall thoughtfully. For a while.
"Old Talisman, you are actually there too..."
He couldn't help but greeted him with a brace; instead, he turned around and glared at him as if he was leaning against the wall listening to something. Then Wang Shenchao said again.
"Old talisman, you are also fighting hard..."
"They want me to die, don't they allow me to try my best to live..."
Fu Cun flushed a little, and pretended to be disdainful.
"That is, the imperial court and the towns are not often conflicted, and the soldiers attacked and killed each other... Don't you just kill the variegated officers in a few places, and what a rare thing..."
"Don't worry, if you take care of this injury, I will beg for it..."
Fu Cun declared so confidently, and quickly walked out of his sight.
"I've seen him in a situation like this a lot. Believe it or not, I will run back on my own after a few days..."
At this time, it was a famous soldier with a yellow beard who just walked to Wang Shenchao's side and sighed.
"When I was in Hengzhou, I was still thinking about leaving. As a result, they really gave me half a bag of dry cakes and 20 yuan; then I relied on these cakes all the way to eat and sleep without stopping. Go to the countryside...and, guess what..."
"Then how did it happen... I don't know what the brother calls..."
Wang Shenchao couldn't help but echoed this sentence.
"My name is Yang, let me call me the old yellow sheep... Because all the people in the old family are gone, the whole village has a hundred and eighty people, and there are only a pile of broken walls and weeds on the ground. ."
Soldier Huang Xu sighed again.
"Then looking back, I saw that I didn’t have the opportunity to grow my own land, and no one wanted to work. It’s justified to stay in the army and seek a livelihood of licking blood; I was hungry again. Come back; I'm finally willing to accept me..."
"I'm fine. If you run away from disasters, there will always be hope and hope in the future. Do you know that Zhang Tietou?"
He again gestured to a group of wounded in the distance who were listening to something, a figure who was obviously quiet and lonely.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know... As long as you know, his family has a decent job, but he was deceived and sent to the government to arrest him..."
"Originally I hoped that I could sell my strength in the army and earn something to compensate my family. I was also very hard on the battlefield. I was selected to the guard team at the time. But I didn't want to go with the city immediately. The capture of the rebels;"
"Later, he also spared his life to exchange this opportunity for excuse and self-repatriation; then he went back to his home town day and night, only to find that the shop was gone, and the whole family was almost dead. Only one younger sister was sold to Renyazi by the shop owner and she didn’t know it.
"So his hatred, turned back with a wound and mud, knelt in front of the camp door and kowtowed blood, only to accept him again, so that in the future, there will be a chance to lead the rebels to avenge him... Then everyone knew about him..."
"Later, the Rebels really arrived in his town, and when they caught a quasi-killer, they smashed all over the floor, and killed all those with a little criminal evidence. He was determined to stay and serve; he said that he was here to do it. Kill more big dogs and avenge more people in this world who suffer from this difficulty..."
"To say that this world is chaotic, how many quiet places can good people survive safely; these officers and soldiers are also from the origin of ordinary people, how can they survive on their own? So now, even if many people leave unwillingly, they will come back in a few days..."
Speaking of this, he said meaningfully.
"Under the rule of the rebels, many people in many places have survived through the gathering, management, and placement of the rebels. Not to mention those places outside the official system of the rebels, how can ordinary people come and go safely? of?.."
At this time, a sudden and excited voice shouted:
"A great victory in Yanling City, the rebels defeated tens of thousands of official troops, and trapped the leader of them..." (End of this chapter)
