Liu Changqing was covered in sweat. In June, sweating is a normal thing, and with the march outside, Admiral Liu Changqing will naturally feel hot. However, compared with the scorching heat on the outside, Liu Changqing's heart was like falling into an ice cave. The admiral shouted at the top of his voice: "Let them stop chasing, and quickly gather the team!" ”

Liu Changqing fled back to Guilin after his defeat near Guilin more than a month ago, but he was not punished with any clear punishment. There were so many Qing generals who had lost battles under the Taiping army, and if they were punished one by one, then there would be no one left in Guangxi, including the minister of the Imperial Mission, Cezanne. So Liu Changqing got another unit and was ordered to go to Quanzhou for reinforcements.

This journey dragged on, and before Liu Changqing could reach Quanzhou, the Taiping army had already gone north from Quanzhou. After being stationed in Quanzhou for a while, Liu Changqing took an opportunity to lead his troops south in the name of defending Guilin. In the middle of the road, he received a strict order from the minister Cezanne, asking Liu Changqing to lead troops to Daozhou to besiege the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Although there were hundreds of unhappiness in his heart, Liu Changqing also had to behave, and he commanded the troops to slowly and leisurely march along the road of Guanyang.

A group of robbers appeared on the road just now, and the appearance of this group of people made Liu Changqing a little nervous. He immediately ordered his subordinates to take their guns and carry out an effective defense. Liu Changqing's subordinates were also soldiers, and when they looked at the appearance of the group of bandits opposite, they knew that they were a team of bandits composed of ordinary people.

The two sides first pinched their waists and scolded each other, probably the content of which was "You rush over when you have a kind!" "You rush over here and try it first!" "You said let me pass, and I passed?" "If I don't let you come, won't you come?" "X you xx!!" "xx you x!" "You xxxx!"

After scolding each other, a relatively bold officer and soldier rushed forward and released their guns, and the group of bandits who were scolding and scolding like broken mouths turned around and ran away.

The officers and soldiers have also encountered a lot of such things, and since the bandits have run away, the front army of the officers and soldiers almost instinctively catch up a few steps. This chase, the bandits are even more scared, some of the bandits who just scolded at the top of their voices this time began to shout bitterly, in order to run fast, even threw down the package on their backs.

The officers and soldiers saw that the bandits had thrown down their packages and continued to chase forward, and saw that there were scattered copper coins and other objects on the ground. The officers and soldiers who rushed to the front immediately pounced and robbed frantically, and the officers and soldiers who failed to grab the money and parcels screamed and spread out and continued to chase the fleeing bandits.

These officers and soldiers were all Liu Changqing's new subordinates, and Liu Changqing listened to the reports of his subordinates, and he was sweating profusely. Liu Changqing's old subordinates were all annihilated, but Liu Changqing escaped with his life. This battle is too similar to the battle a month ago, when the thieves first cheated and threw a package all over the place. The officers and soldiers rushed things frantically while chasing them.

Liu Changqing didn't expect that the thief would still play this hand this time, and the things he threw down were basically the same. Scattered copper coins, various packages. And Liu Changqing's subordinates were also like a ball, the front army had howled all the way down like a vicious dog chasing ducks, and some people in front of the Chinese army rushed up and began to grab the copper coins scattered on the ground.

Regarding victory and defeat and danger, Liu Changqing originally had a strong intuition. At this time, the sky was clear at noon, and there were a few beautiful clouds floating in the blue sky. However, Liu Changqing felt that the qiē in front of him was shrouded in a black mist, and the colorful world seemed to have turned black and white. There was no need to think about who the opponent was, Liu Changqing had already recalled the wolf-like Taiping army with a bun on its head, a black coat, and white leggings on its legs.

"Let them stop chasing and gather the team!" Liu Changqing howled in despair. It's just that this order was not fully conveyed, at this time Liu Changqing's front army had already rushed out far away, and it would take a long time to send people to chase after it to gather the momentum of the troops rushing out.

"Why do I always bring such soldiers?" Liu Changqing's heart boiled with despair and anger. In fact, Liu Changqing was not so angry, the Taiping army had used such tactics many times in history, and each time it got excellent results. It wasn't until the Taiping army and the Hunan army killed each other for several years that the two sides accumulated hatred higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea, and at that time finally appeared the Qing army that could fight regardless of what was lost on the ground, but only bent on fighting the Taiping army. As far as Liu Changqing's troops are concerned, the purpose is to reap benefits, where do they have the intention of fighting.

As a general, Liu Changqing is no different from the soldiers under him. It's just that Liu Changqing's vision is higher, and he knows that if he wants to reap the benefits, he must first save his life. Seeing that it was impossible for the former army to be retracted in a short time, he fortunately completely gave up the preparation to collect the former army, "Let's go back!" Return to the sun first! ”

The Qing army couldn't understand the idea of the main general at all, where was there a matter of withdrawing without caring about the situation of a big victory and the prospect of making a big profit? The Qing army brigade was extremely slow to react, and even some Qing troops rushed forward when they learned that they were going to retreat, joining the ranks of looting the little thing on the ground not far away.

Liu Changqing shouted and shouted, kicked and scolded, and finally let the officers of various units begin to order the team to be closed. It's just that it's too late at this point. A force that Liu Changqing would never forget had already rushed out of the mountain trail next to the road, blocking Liu Changqing's back road.

Luo Xuan followed Wei Ze's side with a tight mouth, and in the fierce running, he had no strength to speak and air strikes at all. Although he was in his forties, Luo Jian was quite confident in his body, but he was also in danger of not being able to keep up with the actions of Wei Ze's troops. Before Weese's troops went out, they all threw down their packages and changed into cloth shoes. Begin to rush along the path. Even looking at the young soldiers who were a little weak, they ran fast. Luo Xuan, who had been begging for a living on the water, struggled to keep up with Wei Ze's troops, and occasionally turned his head to see that most of the elite subordinates he had selected were behind the brigade.

The whole team fought along the small road to the main road, and Wei Ze immediately commanded the Chinese army to lay down the array with muskets. Out of 1,500 men, only 5 centurians were left to block the road. Three of the other ten hundred-man teams controlled the mountain road, and the seven hundred-man teams outflanked the past, and it didn't take long for them to form a posture of encircling Liu Changqing's troops on three sides.

"Uh......h Woo......" The dull voice of the horn sounded, and with the order to attack, the officers of Weezer's troops shouted with confidence as if they had not marched and ran at all, "Queue!" Ignition! ”

Amid the clattering sound, the musketeers in Weese's troops were already getting ready. Amid the shouts, the troops have skillfully lit the fire rope and loaded it with gunpowder and lead.

"Report to the Prime Minister! The second pawn is ready! ”

"Report to the Prime Minister! The first pawn is ready! ”

……

The officers ran back and forth, informing Weeser of the readiness of their troops one by one.

After the troops of the five pawns had completed their preparations, Wei Ze shouted: "Beat the drums! ”

First, there was a dense sound of small drums, and Luo Jian watched in amazement as the soldiers of Wei Ze's troops began to step on the spot with their weapons. The drummers were clearly trained to get the drumming in agreement, and the fighters' chaotic strides gradually came to terms with the drumming.

The shocking beat of the cowhide drum ...... "Knock ......" was also added to the rhythm of the drum and trumpet.

Luo Xuan traveled from south to north, and heard that he had heard the saying of "drums and trumpets sounding in unison" on the battlefield countless times in the book. He just listened to it, and the boat army also had drums and trumpets in battle, but this drum and trumpet was only used for simple communication. However, in the battle commanded by Wei Ze, listening to the rhythmic drums and trumpets, Luo Xuan couldn't help but feel a little enthusiastic. There is no need to say a word anymore, he has already understood one thing, this place is the battlefield, and what is about to be born is war.

Weese's headquarters was on a small high ground, and from the high ground, the officers and men of the five pawns had already lined up their troops in a neat line. Each pawn was arranged in a two-by-one platoon in four horizontal formations, with musketeers in the first three rows and pikemen in the back row. Although they were of different heights, each soldier had a white band tied around his left arm, and the streamer swayed slightly in the wind as the summer heat blew through the ranks.

can make a living on the water, and Luo Gang's eyesight is excellent. He could even see clearly that each warrior had a sign on a white background on his shoulder, although he didn't look very closely from a distance, and from behind, the subtle patterns on the mark seemed to be a little different.

And every soldier had a uniform bun on his head, but among every five people, one had a white band tied around his head. Without asking Wei Ze, Luo Xuan knew that it was Wu Chang.

On the left side of the queue in each row, there was an officer with a belt, which should have been two horses. They have a small cowhide hat pinned to their buns, which does not protect them from the wind and rain, but can make others see the difference between this person and others.

As for the bands of each of the pawns, the color is red, and the cowhide hats on their buns are not simply straight, but divided into two leaves. It can be seen at a glance. The captains did not stand in their own queue, but in the front of the left of the troop queue. They were followed by the deputy captain and the flag bearer, although the deputy captain's plate cap was straight, it was larger than the plate cap of the two horses, and there was a gap in the middle. If there is no gap, it is like a straight board of two horses, and if there is a gap, it can be expanded, just like the hat of the pawn chief. The flag-bearers who followed the commander and the deputy commander held high the crimson banner, which was tied to the long spear with an extended shaft, and the shiny tip of the spear seemed to pierce the clear sky.

The dull voice of the horn was heard again, and the herald had already shouted: "First pawn, forward!" ”

With the military order, the commander of the first pawn had already drawn his waist knife and raised it high. Then swing forward and down. The first pawn battle flag behind the first pawn commander immediately tilted forward. "Forward!" The first pawn roared. Then he didn't look back, and strode in the direction of the Qing army with the beat of the drum.

Only a beat was slow, and the first group of teams that had begun to march also followed their own commanders in the direction of the Qing army to the beat of the drums.

Luo Xuan was already dumbfounded at this time, the subordinates he saw Wei Ze were undoubtedly an army, and the actions of Wei Ze's subordinates at this time were undoubtedly an attack. It was not only the first pawn that entered, but it was only slower by less than five drum beats, and the second and third pawns also began to advance like the first pawn, and the three troops showed a fan-shaped appearance, which was very exciting to look at from a high place.

The spear tip of the flagpole head of the flagpole pointed diagonally in the direction of the enemy in front of them, and the silky red flag hung down softly on the high flagpole. With each step of the flag-bearer's drumbeat, the flag vibrated slightly. Throughout the battlefield, Weese's troops followed the drums and trumpets exactly.

The neat queue, the lonely captain, the deputy leader, and the flag-bearers at the front of the side of the line. The whole team marched towards the hedgehog-filled Qing army like a moving forest.

Luo Xuan looked at it again, the outflanking troops were also in place, five of the seven pawns were in front, and two were also lined up in the rear, and with the sound of the horn in the distance, the five pawns also began to march towards the Qing army. On the side of the ridge, the musketeers and pikemen occupied the appropriate terrain in two units and formed an array. The musketeers and long-haired hands were on standby, and if the Qing army wanted to attack from the back, it would be to die.

Retracting his gaze, Luo Xuan looked behind him, and the fifty subordinates he led were guarding the headquarters on the small high ground with a two-by-one guard. Like his own boss, Luo Xuan's subordinates didn't dare to come out at this time, just staring blankly at the battlefield they had never seen before, the battle they had never seen before. The expression on their faces was one of stunned indifference, or dizzying and sluggish.

Because he was standing in the back of Wei Ze, Luo Xuan could only see Wei Ze's back, and saw that this Taiping Prime Minister, who was quite tall in the Taiping Army, stood straight under the huge red flag of the Chinese army, with his arms folded in front of his chest. A single knife hung from the left side of his waist, and a cowhide holster was placed in the back position on the right, and a pair of double-barreled handcuffs decorated with beautiful patterns were inserted in it. Because he couldn't see Wei Ze's face, Luo Xuan didn't know Wei Ze's expression at this time.

In the southeast direction in front of Luo Outline at this time, the sun hung high in the sky, and the bright sunlight shone down, intertwining with Wei Ze's figure, and even shook Luo Outline a little unable to open his eyes.
