In the face of Wei Ze's musket team setting up a blunt angle array with a protrusion in the middle, the Qing army's response formation was very simple, and several troops advanced in unison, seemingly preparing to use the numerical advantage of the troops to crush Wei Ze's troops. At least in the eyes of Yang Xiuqing at the head of the city, compared with the few headless Qing army columns on the road outside the west of Guiyang, Wei Ze's thin musket queue was like a thin piece of paper, and it was difficult to maintain a confrontation with the Qing army no matter how you looked at it. Not to mention defeating the Qing army.

The Qing army did not slow down this time, did not wait and see, and from the moment it rushed towards Wei Ze's front, there was no intention of stopping. The first to engage with the relatively neat Qing army were the two pawns in the middle of Wei Zeheng's team, who were at the front of the salient. The Qing army seemed to have given a heavy reward, in addition to a certain number of musketeers in the Qing army, more than half of the Qing army was actually armed with cold weapons, which was very useful to defeat the Wei Ze musket team.

However, Weese's troops did not care so much, and at the command of the two captains in front of the central line, the musketeers took turns firing in three shots. As the smoke rose, Wei Ze's troops fired their muskets at the Qing army.

Weeser's troops trained very hard, especially in archery, and more than a dozen steps had to be practiced every day. And also set the training code. One round of 12 times each time, from slow to fast. The first time you move, you should take your time, pay attention to the standard of action, the posture is accurate, and you should be two minutes faster after a round. Then speed up a few points each time, and by the last four, try to get at least three accurate reload shots in a minute. If you make a mistake in training, you will have to hit with a stick.

After this great amount of extremely mechanical training, the troops were able to reload and shoot almost with their eyes closed. After the middle two pawns finished their three-stage attack, they did not reload on the spot, but quickly withdrew a considerable distance backwards before starting to reload. The one at the front of the protrusion became two pawns leaning on either side of the middle. They did the same and then retreated, and the farther troops began to fire at the approaching enemy.

Yang Xiuqing didn't understand what trick Wei Ze's troops were playing at first, only to see these troops firing in a neat queue, retreating, loading, and continuing to fire. But after only looking at it for a moment, Yang Xiuqing saw the doorway. Wei Ze's troops were on good accuracy, and they could knock down a lot of Qing troops with every firing, which could make the actions of the Qing troops who began to rush forward in the front row stop a little. Such echelons of retreat, shooting, and shooting of each team were all affecting the charge of the Qing army.

However, this seemingly ingenious march in the queue was not of much use, the number of Qing troops was too large, and the blocking of the Qing army by shooting was like a dam of sand against the rolling river, which did not have much effect at all. Wei Ze's troops continued to retreat as if they were being held back by the Qing army.

If it weren't for Wei Ze's repeated assurances to Yang Xiuqing that nothing would happen, and Wei Ze was also personally commanded on the front line, if he wanted to die, Wei Ze would die first. With such a guarantee, Yang Xiuqing reluctantly agreed with Wei Ze's little trick. So far, the alternate retreat has had some effect, and Weese's troops have not been damaged.

After only three rounds of retreat, the Qing army forced Wei Ze's troops back to the ground. However, Wei Ze's face showed a smile, because the very layered resistance stifled the charge of the front team of the Qing army, and the charge of the rear team of the Qing army was faster than that of the front team, and the Qing army, which was originally somewhat organized, was already very dense at this time.

By this time, Wei Ze's troops had returned to their positions, and the troops had once again returned to the form of horizontal columns, and all the troops began to fire at the Qing army with maximum intensity. Although the casualties of the Qing army began to soar, they did not mean to retreat. The commander and Chun, who commanded the Qing army's attack this time, issued a strict order before the war, no matter what, he must win a battle in Guiyang Prefecture, and Emperor Xianfeng has already made a decree, if he cannot win, a considerable number of these people will have to be assigned to serve in front of the Xinjiang army.

Once assigned to Xinjiang, it is equivalent to dying there, and none of the generals will suffer that crime. Even if the casualties increased, it could be seen that the distance from Wei Ze's troops at this time was only more than fifty paces, and with more effort, they could rush into the queue of Wei. All the generals ordered their men to rush forward and fight harder into Weez's array.

Every time, the Taiping army took advantage of the unstable queue after the Qing army's musket team fired, and let the hand-to-hand troops quickly enter the ranks of the Qing army, and then won the victory. This time, the Qing army prepared to use the tactics of the Taiping army to achieve its own victory. At this time, the sound of artillery came from the head of the Qing army.

Looking down from the city, the Qing army's brigade was crowded together, and Wei Ze's artillery used solid shells, which was already lethal enough with the dense range of the Qing army's ranks. The more than thirty cannons on the head of the city have been set to shoot at Zhu Yuan at this time, and the rest is to fire in unison.

The shells did not miss a single shot, and they all flew into the ranks of the Qing army. More than 30 shells pierced the body, broke bones, and caused hundreds of casualties in an instant. Yang Xiuqing no longer had any doubts about Wei Ze at this time, Wei Ze dared to use a thousand people to deal with 20,000 Qing troops, the continuous shooting of these thousand people seemed to be an attack or resistance, but in fact, the real effect was to lure the enemy. The Qing army and Wei Ze's troops were not able to distance themselves, and even if the Qing army had artillery, they did not dare to fire at Wei Ze's troops. On the other hand, well-prepared artillery could fire fiercely at the dense Qing army without any scruples.

This is the case on the battlefield, and by the time the situation can be clearly understood, the battle has entered an irreversible phase. Wei Ze's more than 1,000 troops basically followed Wei Ze's old brother when he was in Wuzhou, and there was at least four months of training. They swung at an extremely high level at this time, and the three stages showed no sign of stopping at all. Weeser didn't have any plans to make a big deal out of it, and after the troops withdrew to their positions, two brigades of troops came out of the city, and they also joined the ranks of the platoon guns to fire. The three-stage attack became a six-stage attack, and the situation that could have caused a possible interruption of firepower was no longer possible.

The Qing army did not expect to be killed and injured by such orderly fire, rows of shells caused the Qing army to be in a circle, and Wei Ze's artillery disrupted the connection between the Qing army and the front army. And in the process of being drawn into Weese's musket team, the possibility of lining up to shoot at each other has long been gone.

On the battlefield where bullets were flying, the Qing army's front team fell into a situation where they could not resist. These Qing soldiers were also simply, they all turned around, regardless of their backs being completely displayed in front of the Taiping army, and began to flee backwards with their lives.

How could Yang Xiuqing not see the fighters, he decisively ordered the two thousand elite Taiping troops distributed on the left and right flanks to start pursuing. And Weezer also ordered at the same time, the musketeers stopped firing, and the pikemen began to charge. Seeing that the front army began to flee back, the Qing army's central army and rear team actually turned around and decisively began to flee.

Wei Ze was dumbfounded at the Qing army's appearance. Although this result was what Wei Ze was looking forward to, when he was really born, Wei Ze still couldn't believe it. 20,000 people were chased and fled by 3,000 people, and if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Wei Ze wouldn't have believed it anyway.

And Yang Xiuqing's original plan was much bolder than Wei Ze's plan, he was ready to lay an ambush, and when the Qing army approached Guiyang Prefecture, he would send two thousand elites to suddenly kill and defeat the Qing army's 20,000 troops in one fell swoop. Although Wei Ze felt that Yang Xiuqing's plan sounded outrageous, since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom finally captured Nanjing, it showed that this method of warfare should be able to achieve victory.

Of course, now that the battle of Wei Zejian was also won, the pikemen of the Taiping army caught up with the front army of the Qing army in a blink of an eye, and the more than 2,000 subordinates of the Eastern King and the 500 people sent out by Wei Ze were all elite, and the fleeing Qing troops were stabbed in the back one after another, and their bodies fell to the ground like sacks.

The artillery had stopped firing at this time, and the pursuing force quickly eliminated the Qing front line that was in the way on the road, and pursued the Qing army that had escaped a little distance.

Wei Ze was rectifying the musket team, but he saw a guard running to the front and said respectfully: "Prime Minister, the East King is invited!" ”

Wei Ze ordered his subordinates, "Follow up and kill all the Qing demons who are not dead on the ground!" Then he followed the guards to the head of Guiyang Prefecture.

"Brother Wei, well done!" Yang Xiuqing stood at the head of the city and looked at the battle situation condescendingly, his face was full of joy.

"King Dong, let's chase it like this, if the Qing Demon is dying and fighting back......" Wei Ze was a little worried.

Hearing Wei Ze's worries, Yang Xiuqing smiled slightly, "I told you that the Qing Demon was more than fifty miles away from us yesterday, and they were already tired enough to follow us." After running more than 50 miles in half a day, where do they still have the strength to regroup? With this defeat, they just can't stop the team anymore! And our morale is now at its peak, and the Qing Demon will definitely be defeated! ”

After speaking, Yang Xiuqing turned his head, "Brother Wei, after this battle, the Qing Demon will definitely not dare to attack us lightly, we can go to Chenzhou!" ”

"King Dong, don't we want Guiyang anymore?" Weeser asked. The so-called horn-fighting trend of using soldiers is to ask several strongholds to support each other, and Guiyang Prefecture and Chenzhou are also a bit horns of each other.

Yang Xiuqing immediately vetoed Wei Ze's Jianyi, "Don't Guiyang, let's go to Chenzhou together." Next, we are going to fight Changsha, who will stay in Guiyang? ”

After saying this, Yang Xiuqing asked how Wei Ze trained such a musket team. The Taiping army did not attach much importance to muskets, and the arquebuses of these years were really limited. The Taiping army had no way to muster enough gunpowder, and the pikemen dominated by the old brothers in Guangxi were the real backbone.

However, the use of artillery and muskets in Wei Ze's battle was very effective, which greatly exceeded Yang Xiuqing's imagination. Wei Ze could only explain: "King Dong, you also know that among my brothers, there are only 3oo people who went out of Yong'an, and there are only a dozen people who joined our Taiping Army before Yong'an. Expect them to use spears, or let them use muskets well? The subordinates can only beat and scold them to listen to the command. As for how to fight, it's all nonsense. ”

Wei Ze naturally did not dare to say anything about the General Staff, what kind of training system. So Yang Xiuqing can understand it. Yang Xiuqing listened for a while, and felt that Wei Ze was really desperate to do this, as for the training of the troops, Yang Xiuqing's own troop training was also a headache, so he didn't continue to ask too much.

It was only in the afternoon that the pursuing troops returned. More than 2,000 people chased all the way out for 20 miles, and the Qing army threw everything down, just running away with their lives. However, the musket team sent out by Wei Ze collected a lot of muskets and knives and guns, most of which were given to Yang Xiuqing, and the rest were armed with Wei Ze's new 1,000 people. The two sides joined forces and marched towards Chenzhou. In the evening, the marching troops received news that Xiao Chaogui, the king of the West, had captured Chenzhou. The battles on both sides of the Taiping army were resoundingly victorious.

Thank God! Weser sighed in his heart. After capturing Chenzhou, he could finally have time to rest, which was what Wei Ze needed most at the moment.
