At the top of the Tianpan at the Xingshi Crossing, the last dozen wounded soldiers headed by Li Cunzhang, who had made great achievements, also let go of the sword soldiers in their hands like an amnesty, but sat on the bottom. On the hard rocky ground, it was crooked and couldn't stand it anymore.
Li Cunzhang, a native of Yanmen and a military family under the commander in the cloud, never thought that one day he would raise a knife to fight for a thief, and he would fight so desperately until the last moment. This is obviously the fault of those indiscriminate officers and soldiers who just want to kill people. Who told them to block all the way and fight desperately at all costs as soon as they came up.
What's more stupid is that they hold a lot of people and don't even want to stay captured. Therefore, in the course of the attack, I was too lazy to persuade him to surrender, so he directly killed the captured Taiping wounded with a knife on the spot. The result was that more than a hundred guards of the Tianpan Fortress were aroused, and the desperate and decisive heart of the same enemy, even Li Cunzhang had to fight for his own destiny.
When the medicines and arrows in the fence were all shot out, stones were thrown down from the mountain, and the corpses of the officers and soldiers that could still be hit covered the mountain trails. Then there are close fights and competitions section by section. Fortunately, this winding trail is still too narrow and rugged after all. As long as two or three celebrities are holding cards and spears, the officers and soldiers who have climbed up can be stabbed to death and overturned over and over again.
However, under the seemingly endless attacks of the officers and soldiers coming up, casualties still inevitably appeared. After the brigade commander, brigade lieutenant, flag head, team leader, and team lieutenant among the more than one hundred soldiers died or were seriously injured, Li Cunzhang, who had some courage and skill, became the leader of the remaining people by mistake. .
Guided by the swaying blue flag in the sky, a cyan iron stream that crushed the snowflakes and broke through the cold wind rolled over, and immediately smashed and destroyed the lineups of officials and troops gathered above and below the sky. . Then, like chasing pigs and sheep, they drove them into a more spacious valley outside.
Compared with the rest of their lives in the Tianpan Lei Li Cunzhang and others, along with the Hao Hao **** men who smashed out of Gu Dao, the first army general, the thick eyebrow and broad face, described the determined Ge Congzhou, It is also very fortunate. In the continuous clearing of roads day and night, after two landslides and one avalanche, their backup finally caught up.
As the chief governor/His Royal Highness of the King of Chu, he was one of the few generals who had blue eyes in his early years; his situation and career in these years have been smooth and hardworking; but in private, he is inevitably under pressure. And where the heart knot is. Because most of the time, the First Army he belonged to was the main line of the main commander of the arch guard.
Therefore, getting the chance to participate in the war is basically at the critical moment when a final word is needed, or when the overall situation is set, he will pursue the north-style expansion of the results; this gives his record and the opportunity to perform in front of the battle, basically They were all obtained in a tailwind; this is a bit embarrassing.
Although others might not say much, he always felt that his performance was not worthy of the many military books that the governor had given to him from the very beginning, and he personally pointed out how to cultivate and painstakingly. Therefore, this time it is a rare opportunity to go out of Shannanxi Road; he also suffocated his energy very much, and wanted to do something.
Fortunately, he finally did not miss the last chance, otherwise he was really shameless to exhort the Lieutenant General and the Metropolitan Government. Thinking of this, Ge Congzhou was struggling with his horse and spear, and the first soldiers rushed to the outside of Taniguchi and hurriedly divided the troops to meet an army; between the shaking of the steel spear in his hand, he moved the leader in front of him with the soldiers behind him , Like a skewer of meat one after another picking up.
After a few breaths, in front of the Taiping squadrons who were fighting at the head of the team, the battle array of officers and soldiers had already been pierced several times, and all of them were turned into disarrayed bodies on the banks of the Han River that seemed to flee. Shaped. However, with such a short buffer, another officer and army crossed the low bridge above the Han River and slammed in front of them.
However, the drummers around Ge Congzhou also sounded a high-pitched suona. In the next moment, these cavalry chasing by Mercedes-Benz also quickly turned their horses around and regrouped into a long and narrow line at the foot of the mountains and in a long and narrow field. Then thirty steps away, facing the officers and soldiers who were constantly coming across the Han River, immediately raised the flames and radiated them.
Suddenly, on the banks of the river and on the bridges, the officers and soldiers who came rushing up looked like a jagged somersault, suddenly falling like rain or overturning on the river bank; then they were in a mess. On the spot, the Taiping pawns, who had been erected their swords and spears again, smashed them away again in hordes.
This is also the result of Yang Shihou’s firearm improvement of the Taiping Army cavalry; after removing the traditional thick benzene and the conspicuous crossbow Hulu (quiver), two double-headed blunderbuss are inserted in the saddle, with a carburized steel tip. His spear and a standard hardened saber with a thick back and narrow blade are now the most basic three-piece suit for pawns from afar to be close (fight) or far (strike).
After the loss of the two counter-attack forces waiting in the west of the city, the main formation of the official army on the east bank still did not recover from the chaos. But I can only watch these pioneers of Taiping riders collide, kick and trample with ease under the guidance of Ge Congzhou. Those officers and soldiers who can't dodge the soldiers have crossed the Han River calmly. bridge.
And as a follow-up response, it was the continuous formation of Taipingqing under the banner of Taipingqing in the middle of the mountain pass, and the formation of the large group of licensed spears and backlashes. Almost within a short period of more than an hour, it overflowed the long and narrow field on the east bank of the Han River, and began to cross the river in an orderly manner.
Then, Ge Congzhou, who was soaked in blood during the rush, also took a few guards and retreated a little later to cooperate with the Crew Club, and then took over the team from the third Lang general Xu Yi as his deputy. Command. However, Xu Yijiang, as a deputy general, said with some confidence:
"General, but you are Meng Lang. As the leader of the army, how can you take the risk lightly..."
"Because a certain family hasn't been in battle for a long time, I am really happy to see Lie; this is not a certain thing, thanks to Xu Fu for taking care of it! Next, please continue to work together..."
Ge Congzhou did not hesitate and smiled bitterly and admitted his mistake:
Just in between their words, the artillery groups that followed the loaded carts and arrived on the banks of the Hanshui River where there was especially residual ice, also completed the preliminary calibration and began to face the distance, barely reorganizing and recovering. Officials lined up and launched the first round of test firing. Amidst the thunderous roar of fireworks and fireworks, the officers and soldiers gathered near the city on the opposite bank also exploded and lifted up a pile of rubble and gravel.
There was even the enemy formation that was hit by the bouncing iron ball on the ground, and there was a bloody gap in that room that was destroyed by swords and guns and shattered human shields. The array that was originally easily reorganized and gathered from the chaos has become disorganized again as a result. Suddenly, after drinking, the team gathered in the rear to expose the archery team that was ready to shoot.
The Taiping pawns who had crossed the other side first saw this opportunity after a brief reorganization, and immediately followed the edge of the battlefield to kill them. I saw the pawns in the long queue slanting, passing waves like a whirlwind in front of them, and after they blasted through the uneven patch, they twisted and traversed a tiny semicircle without hesitation. With a knife and a spear, he rushed into it.
A few moments later, as more and more of the Taiping pawns passed through the Hanshui River, they fired at the official army array; the defeat that spread from the southeast of the city has inevitably impacted the camp in the south of the city. The official army headquarters. But at this critical moment, the "Yang" flag held high in the air and the red-and-yellow flag representing the highest command authority swayed visible to the naked eye, and then slowly moved backwards.
For a while, the officers and soldiers who were still in their respective camps and defenses, and fighting hard, seemed to be greatly stimulated. Suddenly, they fell apart into many strands in the roaring and shouting sounds of mountains and seas. The momentum of each leaving the battlefield.
In the original position of the Central Army, the Wuhou car in which Yang Fuguang was riding has been abandoned on the spot; instead, it has become an eaves that is carried by many powerful soldiers and rushed away, surrounded by many wise soldiers. (Lifting pole with shelter), and Yang Fuguang in the eaves has lost consciousness and consciousness.
—I am the dividing line —
Two days later
"Good news, Shannan West Road's containment strategy has been achieved..."
Cao Shixiong walked in with a copy of the cutting edge and returned to the military newspaper and shouted:
"Ge Congzhou's support team not only broke the siege of Chenggu, but also broke through tens of thousands of officers and soldiers outside the city, killing 5,000 people before and after...
"Okay, this way can finally make people feel at ease..."
Zhou Huaian couldn't help but sighed:
After reading the list of narrative skills carefully, I suddenly discovered a somewhat unbelievable detail. I don't know when, one of Li Yaer's Thirteen Taibao actually appeared in the incidental report of the Shanxi Raiders.
As for this Li Cunzhang, he is not the one with the most famous reputation among the so-called "Thirteen Taibaos of the Later Tang Dynasty"; but he was the first to follow the black crow and help kill Duan Wenchu, the master of the cloud. Subordinate. It is also an exception among the Daibei Group, which has the surname of the three tribes of Shatuo as the core, and is generally forceful but not good at the rule of law.
Although not many deeds have been recorded in history, they are relatively positive. For example, after he defeated Liang Liang, taking advantage of the emptiness of Jinyang, he sent the 50,000 army of general Wang Tan to pass a surprise attack from Yindi. For another example, when he was a Datong defensive envoy, he killed and repelled the envoy of the Khitan lord Yelu Abaoji who had come to blackmail the children of the wealthy silk;
Another example is when the Mabu capital of Hedong, Yuhou and military envoy, assisted the post-Tang Zhuangzong Li Cunxue to straighten the military discipline. In the past, Li's subordinates were mostly frontiers, who were proud of their merits and were difficult to restrain. In addition, Li Yaer was able to win over the army, and always tolerated and indulged, resulting in a situation of "interfering with the city and wantonly grabbing"; Strictly clear laws and regulations, "The city will be solemn during the ten-month period when the violent ones are slaughtered.".
Such a so-called "pirates, ploughing crops, trespassing, and relieving fortune," was called his talent at the time. It assisted the talents of the two kings of the later Tang Dynasty. So after Guanzhong, you ran to your own hands to ask for life? (End of this chapter)
