Chapter 4: Weeser (4)
The core of the battle formulated by Wei Ze before the ambush of the Qing army's grain transport team was hand-to-hand combat, and the quality of the Chinese arquebus was very poor in those years, and this kind of arquebus of very poor quality and very low shot, Wei Ze only had five shots. The Qing army on the opposite side also had a 1oo arquebus, and it was the stupidest choice to hit the enemy's length with its own shortness.
Hand-to-hand combat is a compulsory course in the modern army, even in the Second World War, where aircraft and artillery were widely used on a large scale, there were no less bayonet battles between the first teams. Even on the Korean battlefield, the US troops, who relied on heavy artillery to cut mountains, bombs to wash the ground, and saturated firepower to attack, also fought with the volunteers with bayonets many times. In 1852, almost 9o years earlier than 194o, hand-to-hand combat was the watchful skill of the modern army. Weeser is not convinced of this.
Wei Ze's subordinates showed excellent combat effectiveness in the battle. Wei Changrong and other soldiers of the old Taiping Army rushed into the ranks of the Qing army and immediately launched a rapid killing. Even Zhang Yingchen, who is not very reliable, is fighting in a rather clumsy but far more courageous and resolute way than the Qing army.
The Qing army was also as Wei Ze expected, and the combination of the rear team and the Chinese army that was directly attacked was stunned by the fierce blow. The Qing soldiers in the rear team threw down their muskets and fled. The Chinese part of the army fled to the front.
"Chase! Don't let the demons run away! Wei Ze shouted and chased after the Qing army's Chinese army. The best person to break up the enemy array is undoubtedly the enemy's rout, and if the guy who drove the Qing army fleeing rushed into the Qing army's Chinese army, it could easily cause an avalanche effect. Unconscious group action has always had an unimaginable coercive power. As long as the Qing army is completely chaotic, such a flow of people will only run away with their lives in a short period of time. After the Qing army broke and fled, Wei Ze was able to take his brothers with him to plunder the spoils of war. That's the best outcome.
Wei Changrong has a lot of combat experience, so he doesn't know this. Hearing Wei Ze's order, the soldiers did not chase and kill the Qing army who threw down their muskets and fled, and everyone followed Wei Ze and rushed towards the Chinese army of the Qing army.
In the Chinese army of the Qing army, the general who led this grain transportation team was full of sweat and trembling in front of the three riders. The three were tall, short, fat and thin, but they all had one thing in common, they all wore yellow coats.
These three men were the imperial guards assigned by the emperor to the minister Cezanne, who was responsible for exterminating the Taiping army. They were here because the minister Cezanne had ordered the three of them to deliver the letter. The Qing army, which had been clinging to the Taiping army, began to besiege Yong'an City more than four months ago. After dozens of battles, large and small, the Qing army finally built a large camp in the south and north of Yong'an City, plus the arrangement of other troops, and at this time Yong'an has been encircled.
Under the constant urging of Emperor Xianfeng, Cezanne, the minister in charge of suppressing bandits, finally made up his mind to go to the front line to personally supervise the battle a few days ago. The imperial guards had no contact with the local officials, and sending them to deliver letters could also see the reality of the front line. Cézanne had such a plan.
Of course, the Imperial Guards were willing to go out for a walk. In the presence of Cézanne, the royal guards were only guards. If they can come out, they will immediately be big people from the capital, and the magistrates everywhere must eat and drink well and serve well. According to the rules of the Manchu officialdom, there will naturally be no less filial piety in the localities along the way. And sending a letter is not a big deal, but it's always a thing. After the Taiping army is wiped out, such a small matter can also be regarded as the credit of the guards. Since the face can be gained, the imperial guards are naturally "happy to obey their orders".
It's just that these three imperial guards can't put up too big a shelf on the road, and they are arranged to be in the team that transports grain to the camp north of Yong'an City. and arranged for them a small group of personal soldiers.
The officer of the grain transportation team was the general surnamed Liu, and he did not dare to slack off on these three guards in yellow coats, and he was extremely attentive to them. They were very satisfied with this, and said several times that they would "say a few kind words" for this general in front of Lord Chincha. Of course, Liu was always interested, and handed over a letter of silver respectfully, and of course they laughed at it.
As for the safety of this journey, Colondo, the third-class guard of the three imperial guards, had no worries. As a guard beside Lord Qincha, the official documents exchanged are naturally very clear. The Qing army used 50,000 troops to encircle and suppress the Taiping army, even if many troops did not reach the front line, there were more than 30,000 Qing troops in the two large camps in the north and south outside Yong'an City to force the Taiping army in Yong'an City. The official road leads directly to Beidaying, which has been tightly blocked by the Qing army, and it should be very safe at this time. There were more than 100 Hunan green battalions escorting the grain transport team, and their combat effectiveness was quite not weak. Cologon is even more reassured.
Just as Long Keduo and the other two guards were talking and laughing on their horses, they suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing from behind. Colondo, who was sitting on the horse, turned his head and crossed the heads of dozens of Qing soldiers walking behind him, and saw more than a dozen guys armed with spears shouting and rushing onto the official road. Seeing that there were only so many people, Colondo did not feel any special nervousness in his heart. The first thing that attracted Cologon was the white cloth belt tied around the head of the dozen or so people, and the bun on the head. There is a Taoist temple in the city of Beijing, and Colondo has also seen Taoist priests. His first feeling was that even the Taoist priests who were running for funerals had begun to block the road and rob them in recent years?!
The facts soon proved that these people were not mourning Taoist priests, but genuine bandits. Among the imperial guards, there are undoubtedly noble children with mixed qualifications, but this does not mean that the imperial guards are incompetent, and they also have to carry out all kinds of quite strict drills. The guards are divided into three, six, nine and so on, and they can only rely on their own martial arts to win the emperor's approval, and the low-level guards also hope that they can be promoted by the emperor through guò brave martial arts and even military merits.
Seeing the chaos of the Qing army's formation, Colondo was not afraid, he rode on a horse and was in a relatively high position. When Weezer and the others rushed out, Colondo probably counted them, and the number of people who rushed out was about twenty. And the Qing army, the former army, the middle army, and the total number of people are still in disciplined conditions.
With a calm face, Colondo said to the general in front of him: "Mr. Liu!" Bandits are up to two dozen people. You said that you had fought with General Xiang Rong, and you also said that you learned the ability of serial guns from Lord Xiang Rong. Now you take forty of your brothers and shoot those bandits with a chain of guns! If those who have fled back dare to storm our array, they will be killed immediately. Go ahead! ”
When Mr. Liu heard that he was ready to lead his troops to meet the enemy, he was stunned when he heard that he was going to kill the Qing troops who had fled back. Corondo would naturally be thunderous at another time, but the bandits were rushing over, and Colondo didn't have time to lose his temper. He shouted, "With our brothers here, what are you afraid of?" As long as we can kill these bandits, we will naturally support you! If you lose here and our brothers die, what will happen to you? If our brothers hadn't died, do you think our brothers would have been able to let you go? ”
These words made Mr. Liu shudder like a whip, and he couldn't care so much about it, and shouted to his already panicked subordinates in the Hunan dialect of his hometown: "Line up, meet the enemy!" After more than 40 subordinates prepared the queue, General Liu shouted: "Fifty steps forward!" The brothers who ran back shouted at them to hide on the side of the road! ”
General Liu was not incompetent, and after a few orders, his subordinates immediately obeyed the order, and they shouted as they advanced: "Brothers, hide on both sides of the road!" "Brothers, hide on both sides of the road!"
Wei Ze and the others were chasing the Qing army deserters at this time, and the Qing army deserters heard the shout, and saw the Qing army in front of them in a neat queue, and fled to both sides of the road. On the road, which was originally full of people, a large open space was vacated in a moment. The queue of the Qing army clearly saw that there were only twenty people killed on the opposite side, and they immediately regained their confidence. As soon as General Liu gave the order, the queue of the Qing army stopped advancing and began to prepare to release the guns.
At this time, Wei Ze and the others were still more than thirty meters away from the Qing army.
No matter how bad the arquebus is, it is also a firearm, and Wei Ze's small team uses spears, and no matter how brave and good at fighting is, they can only wield their power when they are in front of the Qing army. As soon as Wei Ze saw the changes in the Qing army, he knew that the battle had gone out of the original plan.
In the 21st century, Weeser can run in 12 seconds in the 100 meters. The 3o meter run is in 6 seconds. But this is only a theoretical calculation, if Wei Ze wants to do this, he needs a running shortshirt, the ground under his feet is a plastic track, and his feet are special running shoes. In reality, Wei Ze is on the "official road", the so-called official road has nothing to do with the word flat, and it is still a potholed ground. It's nice to be able to run without falling and not breaking your feet.
Now there are only two choices left for Wei Ze to do, either rush forward with all his might, or retreat immediately. If we stopped now and let the Qing army calmly line up and put up a platoon of guns at a distance of more than 30 meters, a dozen Taiping soldiers armed with spears would only be slaughtered.
Of course, you can run away now, but this hard-won situation is tantamount to losing all your previous efforts. God knows when the next grain transport team of the Qing army will arrive, Wei Ze and they are running out of food, and it is impossible to ambush for more than ten days in a row. When the meat in his mouth is spit out again, Wei Ze is absolutely unwilling.
If you don't want to retreat, you can only rush, just like this electric thought, Wei Ze didn't stop at all, because he tried his best to run, Wei Ze couldn't even get out of his breath to shout again.
Liu Jiang, who was on the opposite side, saw that Wei Ze not only did not stop, but also quickened his pace, making it clear that he wanted to enter the Qing army array. His Hunan accent immediately rose an octave, "There are only a dozen bandits, let's get rid of the guns!" Hurry up and let go of the gun! The Qing soldiers were also ready to start shooting at the urging of the officers. A quick-handed Qing soldier has even lit a fire.
At this time, the competition between the two sides is proficiency, and the competition is courage. Wei Ze saw clearly that more than 30 Qing troops lined up in three teams and put on a three-stage strike. Behind these people, there were more than two dozen pikemen of the Qing army. The defeated Qing army bypassed the oncoming Qing army and ran behind the Qing army array from both sides of the official road. According to the wishful thinking of the Qing army, it was probably hoped that the three stages of the Guò attack would inflict heavy losses on Wei Ze, and then the pikemen would rush up to settle the rest of the battle.
The shoes that Weeser wears on his feet now are not Nike, Adidas, let alone Li-Ning or 361 degrees. But this straw sandals are a product made by Wei Ze after more than a month of careful research and continuous improvement, and the bearing part is reinforced by rattan tendons and hemp rope. Wei Ze knew very well that he was able to run so fast and rush so hard at the beginning, all thanks to the credit of this shoe. Just now, he killed more than a dozen Qing soldiers in a row, and the pair of well-fitting straw sandals on his feet contributed a lot, and he also suffered a lot of damage. If you continue to run like this, the strap of the straw sandals will definitely break.
With scruples in his heart, Wei Ze's charge slowed down significantly. The Qing army on the opposite side didn't know if the pressure in their hearts became less after seeing Wei Ze's charge slowing down, and the degree in their hands became faster. Charging, reloading, although each person's steps are different in speed, but the movements of each Qing army's hands gave Wei Ze great psychological pressure.
"! Isn't it just that your shoes have fallen off and your feet have been punctured? Running slowly is gone, why am I so stupid? And Wei Ze figured this out in a moment, he no longer cared about the shoes on his feet, he did his best on his legs, and rushed towards the muzzle of the Qing army's black hole.
Although the musketeers in front of the line were struggling to reload their ammunition, the irrepressible expression of terror became more and more obvious as Weezer approached. Finally, because of fear, the Qing army dropped the sac containing gunpowder on the ground. Some Qing soldiers raised their eyes to look at Wei Ze, looked down at the muskets, and repeated these two actions like chickens and rice. In such a distracted situation, the preparation of the arquebus came to a complete halt.
But there is always something different in the whole platoon of Qing troops, just when Wei Ze rushed to the front of the Qing army, he saw a Qing army with the fastest hand despite his frightened face, he still completed the loading of the arquebus, that guy was on the left side of Wei Ze, the muzzle of the black hole hole pointed straight at Wei Ze, there were sparks on the fire rope, and the only thing left was to pull the trigger.
Wei Ze's thinking was unprecedentedly clear at this juncture, if he stabbed that guy with a spear at this time, it was very likely that the Qing army's musket hit Wei Ze, and the spear in Wei Ze's hand stabbed that guy to death. Wei Ze let go of his left hand, which was gripping the handle of the gun, and took a big stride to the left, grabbing the barrel of the gun of the fast Qing soldier, and holding it high into the air.
Boom! The dull sound of arquebuses rang out in the upper left of Weese's head. In the end, the quick-handed Qing soldier still pulled the trigger. Weeser's left hand and left forearm, which grabbed the barrel of the gun, were completely numb from the shock. The excitement of escaping death brought only a moment of pleasure, and then an irrepressible anger surged out of Wesser's heart.
"I'm cāo your mother!" With this utter roar that was completely brainless, Wei Ze was fierce. Since his left hand was no longer able to exert force, Wei Ze simply let go of the gun in his right hand and drew out the single knife that was used as a mountain chopping knife. Regardless of the Qing army who had already let go of the gun, Wei Ze swung his right arm down and slashed into the head of the Qing army in front of him.
The strength of this knife is so great that the ordinary iron knife simply cut off half of the head of the Qing army. In the gap split by the broken knife, the red, red and white things are clearly visible. Wei Ze kicked the Qing soldier in the chest and abdomen of the corpse, and the corpse flew backwards.
At this time, Wei Ze was only more than half a meter away from the nearest Qing army, but the Qing soldiers looked at Wei Ze who was close at hand one by one in amazement, and they didn't react in the slightest. Wei Ze waved his right arm and slit the throat of another Qing soldier diagonally. The chicken-like screams rang out for only a moment before they came to an abrupt end.
Then an inhuman scream rang out, "Mom! ”
This scream seemed to be the voice of the Qing army, and the other Qing soldiers screamed sooner or later, and then turned around and ran. The people in the back reacted a little slower, and were hit head-on by the guys in the front row, and some of them used too much force to knock the Qing army behind them to the ground. It seems that the gourd stand is tilted, and the Qing soldiers touch me, I touch you, and the whole mess is crooked.
Wei Ze caught up two steps from behind, and he slashed left and right, and the two Qing soldiers screamed and fell to the ground. Wei Ze took a sip in his heart, these two knives seemed to have big wounds, and the injured Qing soldiers were bleeding a lot, but Wei Ze didn't give the two Qing soldiers a fatal blow. It seems that he is still too excited, and he has completely lost his normal heart.
After a little steady, Wei Ze took two steps and slashed at the bare back of the head of a Qing army, and the Qing army coiled the braid on his head when he fought, and the braid on the Qing army's Tianling cover was not cut by an iron knife that was not sharp enough, but was cut into the head with a single knife. Like a toad that had been struck by lightning, the Qing army trembled, and then fixed on the spot.
Seeing that a single knife cut into the head of this Qing army, Wei Ze knew very well that this guy was dead. Wei Ze tried to tighten and loosen his numb left back, but the numbness was still there, and his left arm was already able to use force. Wei Ze let go of the hilt of the knife in his right hand, and let the corpse of the Qing army with a single knife on his head fall to the ground by itself. The right foot point was on the ground and the center of the gun was in the front position, and the spear flew up, and Wei Ze grabbed the spear that flew into the air. A single shot pierced the bare back of the fleeing Qing army, where the spine and head junction were located. If a sharp blade pierces that position, it can be immediately fatal, or permanently paralyzed.
As soon as Wei Ze twisted the barrel of the gun, the head of the gun rotated to widen the wound, and then he easily withdrew the spear. Facing the bare back of the head shaking in front of him, Wei Ze instantly locked on the easiest to stab, and a shot pierced into the junction of the spine and the skull.
At this time, General Liu had already drawn a single knife, shouting and frightened at the scattered Qing army musketeers. The effort only brought a little pause to the pace around him. But what followed was Wei Changrong and other Taiping soldiers who rushed up, and the spears in the hands of the Taiping soldiers mercilessly stabbed at the Qing army that collapsed in formation. In the midst of a scream, the emergency response force of the Qing army collapsed.
