Under Jinhua City, another round of battle came to an end.
This also means that this group of troops from Quzhou who wanted to join the main force of the coalition forces had no choice but to retreat and retreat before the Taiping thieves set up camps on the periphery.
They rushed up again and again, and once and again they were submerged in the smoke and fire; even under the response and restraint of the surprise soldiers sent in the city, they broke a corner of the camp of Taiping thief.
However, the southern Zhejiang army generals who have not waited to watch the battle on the wall saw the hard-won dawn of victory in the mood of kicking and kicking; this new and cutting-edge division from the outside was constantly busy amidst more intensive roars and explosions. One after another collapsed and escaped.
Then, the peaceful thieves in the camp had no intention to continue chasing and counterattack. They were like silent and hardworking ants. The gaps that were breached in the periphery, the trenches that were filled in, and the muchas that were destroyed are all meaningful. Recovered.
And the man and horse that frustrated and retreated did not wait for the chance to regroup and turn around and stand back, and was attacked and attacked by the thief army and horse squad that wandered around the battlefield.
The number of assault riders of these thieves is actually not that much, but there are rules between advance and retreat; various riding tactics of assault raiding, harassment and detour, and outflank containment, use ease and flexibility.
Therefore, they just used the amount of foreign aid far inferior to that of Quzhou, interspersed one by one, and scattered them everywhere. Eventually, the morale collapsed one after another, died or fled, or was arrested.
During this period, although Jinhua City hurriedly sent aid from other gates, it was immediately volleyed and restrained by the thieves from the camp.
Although the corresponding losses were minimal, they inevitably delayed the opportunity to recover and rescue foreign aid. Because the fortresses of these peaceful thieves are too hard, as long as they are formed into a scale, they will no longer be difficult to remove and destroy.
On the contrary, the troops responsible for grounding and attacking will be attacked and attacked by heavy weapons such as stone cannons hidden in the barracks, as well as the horse teams that roundabout and outflank them if they are too long or entangled.
And just before the day before yesterday, even more successful organized thieves were mixed with the fleeing routs, mixed into the city and burned most of the city gates and barriers, and also drove the defeated soldiers to disperse the defenders who came to encircle.
If he hadn't sent someone to prepare for a rainy day, he built a simple urn city inside, and then used the bundles of wood stacked on the sliding platform of the wall to decisively push down and cut off the rout and the thieves together. I'm afraid that he would lose a city first. Up.
Therefore, many people, including Zhang Zimian, will inevitably have an unspeakable illusion and feeling after being in such a confrontation, as if they were fighting against the regular men of the court.
Although there are many specific differences between the two in terms of tactics, equipment, and overall style, they are almost the same in terms of the core order prohibitions, well-founded advances and retreats, and strict arrangement, procedures, and sequences.
It is indeed an anomaly among thieves who are rumored to be "not an officer, but better than an officer."
Based on this comparison and reference, Zhang Zimian also realized one thing again. After all, these things under his command were not under the imperial system, which were not recruited from farming houses, but were governed by the system and regulations and established over the years. The teacher.
They are just local tyrants and common surnames, and they are the local soldiers who have fought for victory from time to time. Perhaps many of them belonged to the former officers and soldiers, but in their true nature they were still the private soldiers of various tribes.
Therefore, it is possible to fight for the first place in a vigorous situation, but once frustrated, it is easy to become evasive and even extra conservative due to differences in personal characteristics, attitudes, and positions.
Therefore, several attacks were unfavorable; after the teacher had no results, even the people who took the initiative to ask for the battle disappeared; he even needs to personally designate specific targets and sit in the corresponding city head to supervise and watch the battle before he is willing to show his efforts .
In addition to the large number of crossbows and car array bunkers, these thieves under the city dare to stand up camp and field battles. They are the firearms that are hard to guard against;
Zhang Zimian also led his troops to tentatively attack one of them, and he has seen the kind of firearm that can blast a person's body with armor out of a bloody hole after a sound.
Compared with arrows and stone cannon pellets, which can be seen in the form of precautions and evasion, and are more convenient to treat afterwards, this kind of thing called guns is a result that people can't defend against.
I can't see the specific place and appearance at all, I have been killed and wounded in a series of flashing fireworks, plus another throw can be burned into one piece, or it can be knocked down by a detonation. A pile of firearms; the damage and suppression of the corresponding morale of the battle is more than that of the gunstone and the like.
It is difficult for those soldiers who were injured on the spot to receive effective treatment and recovery after the incident. Even with the best wound medicine available, it may not be able to heal these wounds effectively. On the contrary, there is a high probability that fever and abscess will occur, and the ulcer will not stop.
In the end, they groaned and died in the painful description of skinny; this further hit and damped the enthusiasm of the soldiers in the city to take the initiative to fight against the wild.
Therefore, there were even rumors that he was using the hands of false enemies to clean up and clean up those disobedient aliens; who let him quickly find and eliminate the source of the rumor, and characterize it as The rumors and chaos of the spies of the thief army.
If it's just that the firearms are powerful, it's not unimaginable; you can use your strengths and avoid weaknesses to induce a large amount of firearms to consume, and then use bows and crossbows to cover the infantry assault and meet in short-term combat.
At least these local guards who came out of the fighting and killing in the village are rarely behind in terms of war and killing; but this again involves the advantage shown by the thief army, another waterway.
The boat master of the Taiping Pirates was even faster than expected, and successively broke through (blasted) the wrecked ship and large wood in the north, giving the silted and blocked Puyang (River) water, An (River) water, and Tonglu (River) water. ) Water, etc., appeared one after another in the Dongyang River.
With their endless transportation and support by boats, the fortresses set up along the water system, at least in a short period of time, will not see the danger of a shortage of food, grass and equipment.
They even went down from the sinking city of Yiwu, loaded with equipment, along the Dongyang River, and towards the riverside of Jinhua City, and conducted deterrent test fires with crossbows and stone cannons on board.
Therefore, the occupying situation with Jinhua City as the core was once again divided into Beijiang and Nanjiang in disguised form by them. And those thieves who still have enough energy to pull out their hands are still attacking the city continuously outside the cut off sphere of influence.
The young and strong groups of refugees and poor people armed in hordes, under the limited organization and guidance of the armed dispatch team, in the form of mobilizing the poor to eat the big households, little by little, destroy and uproot the potential foundations of those supporting the official army. .
As the saying goes, if you miss one step, every step becomes a miss; and in the long-term confrontation and see-saw, the subtle disadvantages are continuously accumulated;
And he was still using the old vision of the defeated thieves to calmly lay out the battle situation and corresponding strategies.
Therefore, when Zhang Zimian wanted to take the initiative to recover and make up for it, he found that he did not have much room to start and break through;
These thief army formations and battalions that are constantly approaching are like a big net that advocates Luo weaving inside and outside Jinhua City, tightening and tightening every step of the way, until the moment when they are completely trapped to death or trying to see them.
However, Zhang Zimian, who had thought about it here, instead set up a determination and fighting spirit to defend the city, to see and fight with the thief army for a long time.
At least from the beginning, he didn't completely break the enemy and win the pattern, hoping to local forces in the southern Zhejiang provinces. Only by persisting here long enough can we usher in more opportunities and variables.
—I am the dividing line between the variable and the big eater —
In Guangling City of Yangzhou, Chuzhou Governor Gao Yue, who had fainted downstairs in Ziyun, woke up again but found himself lying in an unfamiliar drapery.
The robes covered with mud and blood have been changed, and the air is faintly filled with instrumental music and singing, as well as the roaring laughter of humanoid corpses.
When he walked through the heavy curtains and partitions for unknown reasons, and slowly walked downstairs, he had already stepped into a downstairs banquet hall, and the eyes of the dozens of seats were all watching. Shushu gathered on him;
"Isn't this Gao Langjun, Gaoming Mansion is here..."
The one in the center was a familiar face with stiff beard and awe-inspiring, but it was the general of the Huainan army, Yu Gongchu, the soldier from the right, and he stood up and raised his glass to speak loudly to the left and right.
"This time, I thank you so much for breaking out this cause for us. Otherwise, how to break that Master Lu's cover-up and see Ling Gongzun?"
"Now, the opportunity everyone was looking forward to has finally come... for public and private, I will drink a big bottle for you..."
And in another newly built Lingxu view in the city. At present, the most popular celebrity in Huainan Festival Ya, Gao Pian, the lord of Huainan, is regarded as a left-handed and obedient think tank;
Zongzhang internal history, the left and right Moxie military envoys, and Huainan You all used it as Yalu, squinting and smiling as he listened to the return of the spies in the city, and then nodded from time to time.
At least as the "Southern Heavenly Pillar" Gao Pian is determined to cultivate immortality without being contaminated by the commonplace, he goes to Ji concubine, refuses personnel, and the guests and generals are not seen, he is the only candidate to act as the emissary's authority.
However, it is one thing for him to exercise authority and fortune on his behalf. It is one thing to decide whether it is public or private, but it is another matter whether the military can serve the public or not;
Especially those generals and generals who have followed Gao Linggong to fight on the sofa for many years, all gathered around the left Chang Shi Liang Zan, who had been with the late Huainan's first general Zhang Lin and known as the left man and right arm, and faintly confronted him.
Therefore, he was able to control and influence and think that the relying on his body, that is, the Moxie who guarded the ya inner was only 20,000 horses; in addition, because he was also afraid of assassinations and murders by criminals, he led nearly a thousand people every time he entered and left.
"How did the mountain master let this generation get what they wanted... If this generation gets more credit, it will be more difficult to treat in the future..."
Another alchemist, Zhang Shouyi, an important party member who was known to be able to serve ghosts and gods, was a bit dissatisfied.
"The mountain people know it, but if it weren't for this generation to move away, how can I let it go? After all, there are many hindrances and taboos."
Lu Yongzhi also smiled.
"What's more, no matter whether you win or lose in the future, don't you still have to pass it here for the final argument of merit and sin..." (End of this chapter)
