However, when the roar of the three short-tube cannons that came with them began to resound between the bottom of the mountains and valleys. Even Li Hanzhi, who has experienced many battles and considered himself to be knowledgeable, has to be terrified and shocked. Because in the midst of the roar of the cannons, the large tracts of snow on the cliffs on both sides of the gorge suddenly rolled down like a waterfall.
Just between a few respiratory systems, it was easy to completely submerge most of the icy battlefield in the midst of a large swath of wind, snow and smoke, and also completely covered the bloody mottles of those corpses. He returned to the silence all over the place.
The momentum and impact of its descending the steep mountain wall was so great that even the gunslinger team standing on the top of the snow slope to cover shooting and contain the battlefield was blown away and lost its formation; and Li Hanzhi, who was in the midst of the fight, was even wrapped up in front of him.
After a while, he was covered with snow on his face, and he was pulled out again by the friendly army standing high behind him; however, as their opponent, the enemy army did not have such good luck. The opponent's lineup in the low terrain was almost completely buried with the ice on a large section of the valley.
Therefore, after the intensive rescue and counting of the affected colleagues; the remaining thing is to bury those enemy soldiers who were also buried in the snow and could only slowly struggle out, and were frozen into a blue-purple color, like pulling up. The radishes were captured one by one.
However, after drinking a few sips of the strong wine used to revitalize the body, Li Hanzhi suddenly burst into laughter. This feeling of being on the front line of life and death suddenly made him feel very good. There was even an illusion of endless aftertaste after drinking alcohol.
The next moment, the soldiers pointed to the Xixiang City (now Xixiang County, Shaanxi) where the Yangzhou Prefecture was located. Although the journey became quite complicated because of the avalanche, things became more logical after arriving at the Xixiang River Valley in a fold belt between the Bashan Mountains in Qinling, where Xixiang City is located.
There is almost no need to call the gate. The Xixiang City, located at the foot of Haoping Mountain, naturally opened the gate, and then a green-robed official came out and asked loudly how he came back so soon. Then he was rushed into the Xixiang city with his face to face and involuntarily talked about, and once again grabbed the main points of the city gate and other places.
At this time, the officials below the Yangzhou governor in the city reacted; but they thought it was an immediate mutiny in the army; unexpectedly, people came to the gate of the city with drinks and drove the cattle and sheep to comfort them. Li Hanzhi and the others also decided on the spot to do everything, but they still occupy the gate of the city after accepting the other party's things, and put forward more conditions.
Then, after most of the follow-up people who had cleaned up the silted valley the next day also arrived, the people in Xixiang City suddenly realized that everything was irretrievable. Including more than a hundred officials under the governor Song Jue, together with the surviving more than 2,000 united soldiers in the city, they can only serve as a turtle in the urn.
Next, the Taiping Army, which protruded from the relatively open terrain of the Xixiang Basin, quickly took advantage of the other three counties in Yangzhou, including Xingshi, Gold, and Xingdao. After taking down Xingdao County (present-day Shaanxi), Xingyuan Fucheng Gu County, which is adjacent to it across the Qinling Mountains, is also not far away.
However, this section is also the key point between Shannan West Road and Shannan East Road. There are numerous mountains and there is only one valley road called Xingshidao because of the Xingshui tributary of the Han River flowing through it. It is also the only channel between Yangzhou and Liangzhou/Xingyuan Prefecture.
And Chenggu County, located at the exit of Xingshigu Road, bordered by the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains to the north, the northern slope of Nanpingba Mountain, and the Pingchuan River of Zhongnahan River. Junzhai; therefore, Jiashan Linchuan, can be described as a geographically steep location. Therefore, it is named after "Mountain City Insurance Solid".
And because the Taiping Army captured the city of Xixiang in Yangzhou once in a few years, Xingyuan Mansion built several barriers as checkpoints in this narrow tunnel, relying on the open mountainous terrain; therefore, I wanted Take them down one by one, you have to rely on the mountain to attack the past section by section.
Later, at the military meeting in Xingdao City on the neighboring valley road, Guo Yan, the rearman general who was the commander of this road, couldn't help but look forward to the left and right and said:
"In that case, we can only prepare for the tough task and wait for the equipment to be shipped."
"Mou thinks, you can try other methods that you don't expect..."
Li Hanzhi, who had been watching for a long time, couldn’t help but speak; after getting along all the way, he only felt that these Taiping generals had rules and methods. In many things, just following the bottom line would be very worry-free and effortless, but It's too stable, and sometimes even a little bit of stability doesn't even want to take the risk of winning by the Rockets.
"General Li Shen meant that he intends to repeat the old trick? However, after Yangzhou is under, Xingyuan Mansion is afraid that he is alert?"
Guo Yan couldn't help but turned around and said with Yan Yue:
"Naturally this is not the case. It is naturally impossible to re-disguise as an officer and army; but what if it is a messenger for warning and help?"
Li Hanzhi said solemnly:
"Some heard from the city captured that the local generals in Yangzhou and the foreign soldiers and horses in Xingyuan Mansion are actually not the same way: and the foreign soldiers and horses in Xingyuan Mansion are also part of the old Jing Nan Army and the Shang family's subordinates to the south. Don’t! There should be something to do about this, right?"
"Then Li Junjun has any detailed regulations and plans?"
Guo Yan hesitated for a moment, but in the end he still wanted to do his best to take advantage.
It was just that the sky was just getting bright on a new day, and the bloody Li Hanzhi stood at the first barrier in Xingshi Road, on the wall of Pingkou Village. And another fellow school captain respectfully bowed his hand:
"According to the general's strategy, there were 516 people in Zhaizhong, and none of them ran out..."
"Okay, let's add the equipment, then we can continue to work on the next place..."
Li Hanzhi waved his hand flatly:
In the next half of the day, the seven barriers built in wood, civil engineering, wood and stone, including Pingyi Village, Luanshan Village, Qupozha, etc., set up in Xingshi Road, were in this group of "alarm messengers" that came close in turn. In front of him, the firearms thrown by the inside and the outside were conquered and seized one by one. The number of defenders captured and captured had reached more than 1,200.
But when it was close to the last city walled at the northwest exit of Xingshi Road, Tianpan Base, it was because of exhaustion from a long battle that he missed it. The secret guard hidden in the forest on the side of the road was lit on the mountainside to warn. The beacon. As a result, when this small team of "messengers" approached the intersection at the foot of Tianpan Base, they were shot back by a series of condescending arrows.
Even Li Hanzhi, who took the lead, would inevitably get an arrow; but the cloth visor provided by the Taiping Army was warm and durable enough, and the arrow nailed to his arm could only penetrate cloth. The iron-lined and tarpaulin pullover underneath, after pulling it out, only left a little skin stab wound, and the white ointment cut off from the pre-set medicine package was basically unimpeded.
Then, Li Hanzhi noticed that the main body of this skypan rampart was actually set up on a protruding rock table dozens of feet high. There were steep cliffs on three sides, and only a faint path hovering down behind. At this time, the sky was slowly darkening. They would also retreat and join the selection team in charge of support.
In the middle of the night, in a depression on the mountain wall that was used as a temporary camp. Listening to the rustle of falling snowflakes, the burning of briquettes and firewood in the bonfire rattles; Li Hanzhi, who is wrapped in a thick quilted sleeping bag and leaning on a fleece blanket, is somewhat awake at night. But my heart is back and forth recalling the bit of frustration in front of Tianpan Lei.
The more I thought about it, the more irritable I became. I couldn't help loosening the relatively warm velvet sleeping bag, and put on a more secure but inevitably hard cloth visor. That kind of deep-rooted coldness made his somewhat chaotic mind suddenly awakened. At the next moment, he suddenly heard a movement slightly different from the falling sound of a vast expanse of snow.
That is a completely different feeling from ordinary beasts stepping on the broken branches; what's more, there are sticks with sharp branches arranged in the outer snow, and thin wires with bells are tied; how could it not be triggered to move. Suddenly, Li Hanzhi picked up a small flag, and after igniting it on the fire, he suddenly opened the tent and swung it out to the darkness.
And his action was enough to make the soldiers who were in the same account startled, and they immediately took weapons and put on armors on their bodies. The next moment, I heard the direction of the burning flag throwing, and there was a short scream and exclamation that couldn't be suppressed. It was like a sudden siren in a lonely snowy night, and suddenly this campsite on the mountain wall suddenly woken up and boiled.
For a while, only the sound of loud whistle was heard, the sound of blasting directly from the tent, the crisp sound of swords and swords, the screams and screams of slashing on the flesh, the obstacles were pushed away and overturned. The sound, the cries of the tent lit up by the wind, the violent and fierce screams and roars, one after another alternated inside and outside the camp on the mountain wall;
And with a few kerosene bombs specially used for arson; the moment it flew from the innermost part of the camp to the outer periphery, while igniting a few screams and screaming figures, it was also between the twinkling flames. The enemy troops who entered the camp in groups of three or five appeared panicked. . .
However, they have lost the suddenness of taking a sneak attack by night, and they are no longer facing opponents who are easy to camp and disperse, and they have been disrupted by unprecedented firearms. . . After just over an hour, all the chaos under the mountain wall has settled again.
Enemies who came to attack the camp at night probably left over a hundred and eighty corpses and more than a dozen injured prisoners; only a small number of people were chased by the fire blasts, and fled back to the darkness of snowflakes regardless of recklessness. go with. However, after Xiaobanxu's fight, it is inevitable that the wound will crack and secrete blood again, and Li Hanzhi, with red eyes and excited expression, agitated the soldiers who followed him on the left and right:
"Come and not be indecent, but someone would like to come with someone big..." (End of this chapter)
