Chapter 1014: Xuanxiao Traces in All Directions
Although these beggar disciples are very flexible, and all kinds of crooked and evil ways have emerged, they are not very lethal after all.
It took about half an hour to defeat more than 10,000 people in Xiangyong, and he also took in 4,000 or 5,000 people.
If it is replaced by the regular army of the Heavenly Army, one by one, it is like chopping melons and vegetables, for such a long time, it is estimated that there are 50,000 Xiangyong, and there is no one standing.
These beggar disciples, although the killing efficiency is not high, they are full of tenacity, and they have no time limit, so they kill slowly!
This sticky strength made Xiang Yong anxious and angry!
Although the more time passes, there are not many deaths, but their main concern is not here!
What they are most worried about is that the Heavenly Army is out of nowhere, and if there is a delay here, what if the regular army brigade catches up?
It's hard to guarantee that these beggar gang disciples are dragging them down for the arrival of the Heavenly Army!
In a hurry, he lost the rules and gave this beggar disciple more opportunities!
These Xiangyong not only failed to successfully break through, but suffered more casualties!
In this way, the beggar gang disciples pestered Xiang Yong, who was eager to escape, for half an hour in Mei'anzi, and another seven or eight thousand Xiang Yong died here.
Even at this time, Zeng Guofan was still at a loss!
At this time things changed, and Tazib came!
It turned out that Taqibu already knew that Xiang Yong was under the leadership of Zeng Dashuai and came to meet him, but half an hour had passed, and there was still no news, so he felt that it was not good!
The distance between the two places is only twenty minutes away, and if there is no movement for half an hour, something must be wrong!
So he left 5,000 men to guard the camp, and he himself led 15,000 men to meet them!
Sure enough, it was in the small mountain village in the middle of the two places. I found out that I fell into the quagmire array set up by the Heavenly Army, and if there were no strong staff, it was likely that the whole army would hate it!
Tazib has a rich operation and must be quick until this time!
So, he shouted loudly, and the long knife in his hand was raised high. The landslide is like a landslide and the ground is cracking!
These people are cavalry!
As a result, the gap in the ranks of troops made those beggar soldiers who were fighting in line on the way to the horse team charge retreat one after another, not daring to suppress their wind!
Tazib rushed to the first place, and the head-on team was on the way to the world!
The two of them raised two weapons at the same time, and they were strangled together!
Taqibu is on the horse, with a condescending advantage, and the red tasseled spear in his hand is like a strange python out of the hole, pounced on the world!
The world fights on foot. Take advantage of the benefits of stabilizing the dìng, and come up is the beggar gang town gang martial arts - the dog stick method!
Originally, the martial arts of the two were comparable, and the Taqib on the horse still had the coercion of the troops, but the dog-beating stick of the world was wonderful, and the attack of the big gun was sealed above, and there was little opportunity below, so it swept the horse's legs!
If this horse leg is swept up, the war horse will be scrapped immediately!
He had to devote most of his energy to blocking the dog-beating stick that swept the horse's legs!
This time. His immediate advantage is no longer an advantage, it is simply a great disadvantage for him. It's a terrible disadvantage!
Finally, when he was protecting the horse's legs at the cat's waist, he shook a stick to the world, and then a stick moved greatly, and with a "poof", it knocked on Taqib's head!
Thankfully, Tazib was accustomed to carrying a helmet when he charged. Otherwise, no matter how hard his head is, it will become a crushed watermelon!
Even so, Tazib was also dizzy in his head, and hurriedly beat his horse and retreated!
Before the world could catch up, Tazib's guards marched forward in unison. blocked the way.
Although the people of the world stopped Taqib, the other beggar disciples could not stop Taqib's cavalry, and finally let them see a passage and rescued Zeng Guofan from surrendering more than 30,000 Xiangyong.
This halfway ambush left a total of 20,000 Xiangyong.
After these people go back, they can at least be junior commanders of the army at the level of ten commanders.
Leave one more, and there will be ten, hundred, or even more enemies for the future Heavenly Army!
Therefore, the people of the world left a regiment of beggars to guard and protect these dead soldiers, waiting for Mai Ke and others to come to deal with them, and he himself led a large team of men and horses to chase after the fleeing Hunan army!
In addition to chasing from behind, he also sent dozens of squads to overtake Xiang Yong and go to the front to prepare in advance.
In fact, before this, the people of the world had already made preliminary arrangements to gather all the disciples of the beggar gang within a radius of a hundred miles in this area, and they were ready to standby.
These squads are going to contact these forces that have been concentrated and prepare to intercept the fleeing enemy.
However, the pursuit of the people of the world is not smooth.
The reason is, Tazib personally led his cavalry brigade as a broken cover!
Regardless of cavalry or infantry, it is a melee when they come forward!
After all, the cavalry is small in number, and although it has blocked many people, there are at least 70,000 or 80,000 disciples of the beggar gang, how can they block them all?
Tazib roared in a hurry, but the men of the world on foot were tightly entangled in him!
In a fit of rage, he reached behind his left hand and brushed the ground with a smack, drawing a musket!
The spear in his right hand kept going, and the musket in his left hand stretched out, so that he didn't need to reload or aim.
"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and the firelight projectile flew towards the world!
In the midst of the crisis, the whole body of the world turned back cleanly, and fell to the ground on his back!
The firelight and the scorching air rushed past his nose, shaving his face painfully!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tazib rode away.
It turned out that this Taqib was born in the firearms battalion and was very proficient in firearms, so even if he became the commander of the green battalion, he still prepared a musket for himself and carried it with him.
Of course, this musket is not his regular weapon, because it is impossible to keep the enemy waiting for you to reload on the battlefield.
Because the musket at that time could be loaded with one bullet, and after a shot, it was necessary to stop and reload the bullet, otherwise it would become a useless burning stick.
Regular musketeers need to be divided into two more teams, everyone takes turns to play, and after firing a shot, hurry down and let others play.
Those who came down hurried to load their bullets and got back on later.
Tazib's gun was loaded in advance, so it could be drawn and fired, but it didn't work, so he had to stop.
Tazib knew there was only one shot, but the world didn't know wow!
The shot really startled him, and she lay on the ground for a while to soothe her pounding heart.
When he calmed down, he got up and continued to chase after him.
There are a large number of beggar gang disciples, and the pursuit of the enemy is in full bloom, although the people of the world are delayed a little here, it has no effect on the pursuit of others.
Therefore, it was this army of nearly 150,000 people that you and me, and I and you moved eastward while fighting, and finally arrived at the village where Taqib was encamped, the Hou Zhou family.
The 5,000 cavalry left behind there were in a hurry, and they finally waited for the arrival of the large group of men and horses, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But when you look at the back, there is a bigger team of pursuers!
They are bored with nothing to do for a while, and when they see that the pursuers are still quite rampant, they can't help but be furious!
Immediately all of them went out and gave a counter-charge to the chasing beggar gang disciples!
Although there were many disciples of the Beggar Gang, they were unprepared, and in addition, this was an open land, so they did not stop these cavalry!
Not only did it block the momentum of their pursuit, but it also forced them to retreat more than 200 meters, and at the same time caused nearly 5,000 casualties!
Seeing the ferocity of the enemy, the people of the world led a large array of dog-beating sticks, and set out together, 10,000 bamboo sticks were like dense forests, waving together, pumping people's heads upwards, knocking horses' legs down, and in the blink of an eye, the enemy's cavalry lost more than 1,000 horses!
The big blow of the dog-beating stick was effective, and 10,000 people shouted in unison, and the 10,000 sticks were directed at the Xiangyong cavalry, making them angry!
The rest of the cavalry turned around and ran away, retreating to their camp.
It was with this kung fu that the enemy had completed the redeployment arrangement.
It turned out that Zeng Guofan had repeatedly discussed with Luo Zenan, Zeng Guohua, Zeng Guobao, Wang Zhu, Jiang Zhongyuan, Li Xubin and others along the way how to avoid all annihilation.
If everyone is tied together like this, the team is bloated, moves slowly, and does not matter how early or late, they will definitely be eaten by this group of beggar gang disciples like hungry wolves!
Even worse, the regular troops of the other Celestial Army freed up their hands and completely wiped them out.
Now only all of them can still walk around, it is estimated that the Heavenly Army did not pay attention to them, and focused on the large Qing army.
If they change their minds and pay attention to them, they will only end up being wiped out.
Therefore, Zeng Guofan made a decision, everyone broke through separately, and after success, they went to Changsha to concentrate!
In this case, maybe a small group of people will be wiped out by the enemy, and someone will always be able to escape!
They decided to divide the infantry into sixty squads of five hundred men each.
And the cavalry was still self-contained, breaking through on its own and returning to Changsha.
It is estimated that it will be easier for the cavalry to go if there is no infantry dragging.
As for them, these key generals, decide for themselves how to escape.
After this decision, the cavalry took on the final cover mission, blocking the beggar gang disciples outside the promised for an hour. In this hour, sixty squads fled in different directions, as far as they could!
After the beggars had tried their best to repel Tazib's cavalry, they retreated!
Looking at the camp left, the tent is still in order, but it is quiet inside.
The beggar gang disciple who was in charge of the investigation quickly went in to inspect it, and came back to report: The big tent is empty!
The enemy sneaked away!
"Chase!" the people of the world gave an order, and 80,000 beggars helped their children run together to chase!
After chasing for thirty miles, there is still no trace of the enemy, and everyone thinks that something is wrong!
The people of the world officially asked Wu Renxiao to dispatch a large number of Xuanxiao to search for these fleeing Xiangyong in all directions, and they must find out their whereabouts!.
