"The military owner might have misunderstood something, but Yang Gong has a sincere heart and wants to preserve..."
Zhou Yin still insisted on self-improvement and calmly argued:
However, the next moment, the noise from the outside interrupted his self-identification, and then a waiter quickly stepped into the Tao:
"Major, an enemy army opened the door to the north of the city and rushed away!"
At this moment, Zhou Yin only felt that the sky was falling. He wholeheartedly believed in the master's plan and intentions. Because the other party told her frankly, only in this way can their relatives and family members who will belong to the outside world be preserved. It can also be regarded as the monarch and the subject of grace and righteousness who fulfilled them.
He thinks he is good at writing and general affairs, and he is not a good lobbyist; but in order to take into account the overall situation and repay the kindness of knowledge, he ventured out as a messenger to negotiate with the thief army. After all, he is a celebrity in Shuzhou, coming from the family of Zhou clan in Lujiang, and he is not without roots (Zhou Ben et al.) among the Taiping Thieves.
But now it seems that he has become a part of the design. Is he really going to die here in vain? Zhou Yin almost abandoned himself in despair and thought:
—I am the dividing line —
In another place, at the foot of Moye Mountain near the Zhisuo Zhongli in Haozhou (now Fengyang, Anhui), the Huaixi Army, which was intercepted by layers, fought steadily and steadily all the way to the Huainan Yuji Junxi Road. Let it break out again.
With the shouts and roars of the mountains and plains, the volleys that were shattered and pierced by the snow flickered little by little. From behind the low hills, large swathes of Huaixi horse infantry ran out, facing the Taiping Army from the east and the west, and had already rushed into Donghaoshui. Going forward, they launched a rapid attack and squeeze.
I saw a number of hollow square formations quickly set up by the Taiping army in the wilderness below the mountain, almost unmoved, blocking the Huaixi horse team's repeated rushes and batch raids; and they were just like they were. In the sudden expansion of the smoke bloom, the groups of cavalry in the intersecting range, like grate-like layers, are filtered and become more and more sparse.
If you look down from the mountain, the layer of smoke and dust covering their slender array is like an invisible barrier, and the Huaixi Qingqi that swam and hovered in groups one after another hit The cavalry who fell under the horse, or rushed in sporadically with full flexibility, drove and forced them out again with a blood-sparkling color.
At this time, the footmen of the Huaixi Army Brigade, left behind in the snow and dust, were able to arrive, re-intercepting and encumbering the scattered cavalry, and immediately rushed to the Taiping Army’s hollow formation. Away. However, such a delay and buffer was enough for the Taiping Army to spread the equipment on the middle mule horse and its towing cart on the spot.
In the next moment, with the intense blooming of the smoke, the thunder-like roars one after another, easily overwhelmed and pierced these Huaixi brigade pawns, shouting killing and roaring above the clamor. Then it turned into a bloody storm of bursts and splashes among these dense crowds, wrapped in countless broken limbs and red splashes.
In a blink of an eye, the array of Huaixi steppers that swarmed there was a canine-tooth-like gap on the head, and the faintly twisting flesh and blood runs through the place; although the fleeting ones were rebuilt by more people. The filling and congestion came up, but the offensive of these Huaixi pawns could not help but stagnate in the panic and panic.
However, from the gaps and passages released by the side of the hollow phalanx, a few peaceful pawns suddenly emerged, and they also completed a short trot acceleration and gathered together; they also slanted through the Huai like a dagger. At the edge of the West Step team, while dispelling and trampling the scattered soldiers on the periphery, fireworks suddenly radiated.
At the same time that the Huaixi team, which was surging forward with all its strength, was immediately affected, they had to slow down and turn around; and the Huaixi archers who followed behind, this Only within an unreachable distance, I couldn't wait to release the first wave of chaotic arrows.
However, this burst of hastily radiated arrows fell into the snow in front of the Taiping Army array, and even after the Huaixi team, which rushed in the front, penetrated more than a dozen from the back, it was in the Taiping array. Sporadic grunts and cries of pain aroused in it.
In the next moment, these hurriedly following archers also attracted the attention of the Taiping Horses who had gone wrong; and after wandering for a small half circle, they rewinded back, and these archers were forced to scatter in a hurry, avoiding them and forming a group. The group fled to the other end of the pawns; once again, the group pawns were affected and a spearman rejected the line and thought it was intercepted.
However, in the next moment, these Taiping pawns once again threw many smoke-filled spheres from their horsebacks, and exploded a piece of snow and dust among these spear-bearing pawns; only then did the rear teams smoke. The knife swept past the formation, chopped it to pieces and raced away.
I followed the trend for a while after the Huaixi archer who had no time to escape. Then, under the attack of the reflexive Huaixi infantry and the regrouped Huaixi cavalry, he quickly threw him behind in the smoke and dust, and turned back to return. The array covered by the Taiping Array was intermittently lost.
At this time, the Huaixi pawns, who were forced to pause during the offensive, were once again subjected to intensive shooting and bombardment from the firearms in the array. But as if it had broken the bottom line of morale and resilience, they collapsed in an uproar, discarded many flags, and retreated one after another.
However, in the next moment, amidst the sound of drums like a shower of rain, the peace soldiers who disbanded their formation and turned to the chasing posture; they also had to stop with a little surprise, daze and hesitation, and either faster or slower. Five groups of them reverted back to their original positions in the array.
As these hollow square formations reunited, the Huaixi Army that had collapsed in the face of the wind and snow suddenly came out of a cavalry force like a heart-warming force. However, he was blasted head-on by the cannons in the formation, and after wiping off the countdown, he retreated without hesitation.
And the Majun coach standing under the banner of the car in the formation made Yang Shihou very relieved; this is indeed the most used method of ambush in the wild by the Huaixi army relying on the many maneuvers of mules and horses; and After encountering setbacks and obstacles, they show weakness and lure the enemy, and then use the trick of a counterattack with a knife.
After all, as a person from Yingzhou Jingou (now Jingou Ji, Niqiu Town, Taihe County, Anhui) who was also born in Huai, he was under the command of Li Hanzhi, the governor of Gwangju. The thief’s Huaixi soldiers have fought "communications", and they can be described as "old friends" who are very familiar with each other.
That's why he preferred to temporarily put aside the several regiments of pawns he had brought, and made a special trip to the Lieutenant General Qian Jumei to ask for this Huaixi first attack task because of this opportunity to show his methods and experience.
You must know that Liu Hanhong's group of thieves in Huai Shang is well known for being good at swift warfare and cunning. Over the years, he has been defeated many times by officials and soldiers. He has repeatedly claimed that he has won many battles and has won many battles, but he has always successfully slipped away for him, and he has failed to really hurt his fundamental vitality.
On the contrary, it is easy to suffer a big loss when it is taken lightly and negligently. But this time, the array of firearms equipped by the Taiping Army and the corresponding tactics gave him a chance to break this long-term entanglement.
Yang Shihou explained to the left and right again:
"Continue to pass the order, stabilize the formation, the enemy will not move, I will not move..."
"Hurry up to install the equipment and treat the injured; take turns, eat in batches and wait before the battle to prepare for trouble..."
"As long as the enemy has spare capacity, we won't give up easily... We just need to stand here and wait until the main formation catches up... Don't be stingy with medicines and equipment."
After a while, as if to confirm his guess and judgment, the Huaixi soldiers and horses regrouped in groups once again appeared on the low hills. This time, it was those Huaixi archers who lined up again, and began to slowly advance and shoot.
In the middle of the Taiping Army's array, the long-tube firecrackers held in several rows were also protected by the efforts of the licensed soldiers in the front row; they began to emit fireworks alternately as a counterattack. For a time, the projectiles and arrows interlaced among the snowflakes, and they continued to bring out a splash of blood and a slumped figure in their respective arrays.
Then the artillery cars in the large hollow array resounded again. And on the two wings of the Huaixi archer array, which was in chaos and vacillation due to the artillery fire, which exploded the broken soil and snow, the Huaixi pawns with various hands and big shields were raised to loosen and pull. The spaced formations came over.
The Huaixima team once again stepped on the snowy ground that had become messy and black, and quietly appeared on the edge of the hill in the opposite direction of the infantry offensive. However, he did not know when he bypassed most of the battlefield under the cover of wind and snow, and put on a roundabout sneak attack posture.
Drum horns were heard densely in the field, and there were roars one after another. The Huaixi steppers who were on the offensive also suddenly scattered halfway like a frightened flock, and turned the original aggressive forward momentum into chaotic fleeing. .
Then, the cavalry brigade holding the Taiping Qingqi with horseshoe prints also appeared in the rolling snow and dust; this time, it was no longer the previous ones wearing leather armor, foam nail armor, and leather caps, only fire guns. A lightly outfitted ranger with sabers and grenadiers; but a bursting cavalry with fine scales and leggings and chain mail, a round-pointed helmet with a neck guard, and a complete set of swords and spears.
I saw them with a relatively inferior number of outnumbered opponents, and without hesitation, one wave after another, the Huaixi horse team, which was getting tired and covered in dust after a long battle, was just a brief but intense exchange of swords and spears. After crossing the frame, the guns and arrows all passed by, they rushed away in the center and kicked them into various forms of competition and collapse.
Then, there were more pawns wearing densely woven outer robes and thick half-length scale armor, with iron nets covering the knees, and wearing hat-shaped helmets with white feathers. They bypassed the edge of the battlefield and successively fell down and lined up in front of them. The Liannu and Fire Guns formed an anti-encirclement and interception trend for those Huaixi pawns who were scattered about.
"Beat the horns, break up into groups, and pursue freely... the cruising team puts on the hook guns, and follow me..."
At this moment, Yang Shihou screamed decisively:
And in Guangzhou, Huainan (now Huangchuan County, Henan Province), a hundred miles west of Haozhou.
All the way is almost the land of Shenguang; except for a dozen Tu Tuanjiezhai from Bao, there is almost no decent resistance from the Taiping Third Army Youlang general Su Wuming Su Wuming; also led by Su Wuming. The only remaining battalion head of the Shannan contingent under his command, drove into the four portal holes, and it was already in the Gushi city, which looked like a ghost city.
It was not until they planted flags on the city’s head, closed the city gates and laid the simplest fortifications, that the smell of cooking attracted many lonely ghost-like figures; but they were all unkempt and unkempt. And the scrawny women and children hardly saw any young and strong men.
And to the north of Gwangju, on the other side of the Huai River, which has been frozen by a large area, outside the Xin Cai City where Caizhou belongs. Military horses from Duji (southeast marching camp) from Lao San Zhu were also under the auspices and imprisonment of General Hu Zhen, and carried out large-scale executions of the stubborn and recalcitrant generations who came from the local urban and rural areas.
Following the order, people of various colors dragged by the five-flower tying are also under the water-milled steel knives reflecting the snow and sky, rows of broken heads and servants, and in the plain white The snow splashed and burst out, like a large swath of red blood; then it was quickly covered under the swaying snow.
Among these people, in addition to the township relatives related to Qin Zongquan, the former lord of Caizhou and his party members, who participated in the stubborn resistance and assaults and sabotage of the grain road, they also included many "suspected" associations. Indirect stakeholders, such as the wealthy family, government officials, and other indirect stakeholders who are torturing or acting for the tiger. (End of this chapter)
