Chapter 11: Tujia Hakka (11)

"Brother Zhang, why do you want to bring these silks?" When the guards and Zhang Yingchen were marching, they were very puzzled by the transportation of a few pieces of silk. The Taiping army is not luxurious now, and silk is all used by the princes. Moreover, these silks moved by Zhang Yingchen and others have been used many times, and the color is very poor, not to mention that the once smooth surface is now even dirtier.

"This is what we used to pitch our tents." It was a tailwind on the boat, and the boat was not too strenuous. Zhang Yingchen and the others didn't need to help, and they also had some leisure to chat. Weezer doesn't like extravagant things, and silk has a fine texture, which is very suitable for keeping out the rain. Weese's troops relied on this thing to rest in the rain.

The guards didn't expect Wei Ze and the others to use silk like this, and they didn't know what to say for a while. Instead, Zhang Yingchen asked about the siege of Guilin by the main force of the Taiping Army. The chief guard sighed, "That Xiang Rong is extremely treacherous, and he actually blocked us. ”

When the Taiping army raided Guilin, they sent 3oo people to wear the military uniforms of Xiang Rong's troops, waving Xiang Rong's military flag, trying to deceive the Guilin defenders in disguise. These uniforms and flags were naturally the materials captured in the Battle of Dayuan. As a result, Xiang Rong rushed to the city gate a moment ahead of schedule and exposed the Taiping army's strategy. The surprise attack failed, and the Taiping army could only rely on besieging Guilin. Because of the lack of offensive strength, it was never possible to break through Guilin, the capital of Guangxi.

Originally, Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, intended to go south to seize Wuzhou, and then wave his army back to Guangdong, so that Wei Ze would be agreed to go south. However, Hong Xiuquan wanted to attack the big city, and Yang Xiuqing also supported Hong Xiuquan's idea. That's why Wei Ze, a force of 3oo people, has been particularly "valued".

Having said this, the guards asked about Zhang Yingchen's attack on Wujia Town. Zhang Yingchen has personally inspected the terrain, and Wujia Town is naturally much inferior to Yongan and Wuzhou. It can be defeated by a hard attack by troops, but if you do that, you will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. Zhang Yingchen keenly felt that although Wei Ze was determined to fight, he also didn't want to die. briefly introduced the situation to the guards, and Zhang Yingchen also fell silent.

Wujiazhen has also fought a lot of battles, and the defensive layout is quite reasonable. There is a fort defense on the Qianmen Road, and the walls of the town are all made of stones, and I heard from the people who have entered Wujia Town in several Hakka villages that there are places to stand on the walls of the town, and there will be great casualties if you attack the city with a ladder.

There was a cliff at the back of the town, and Zhang Yingchen personally climbed up to see if he could hang down the long rope and slide down. As a result, the mountain was overgrown with trees, and it was difficult for large troops to go up. Moreover, there is a considerable distance between the cliff and the city wall, and there is actually a ravine behind the city wall, and there is no way to attack from there. There was also a patrol in Wujiazhen, and Zhang Yingchen wanted to come and go, so he could only attack from the side. Although you have to cross the moat, you can send troops to destroy the channel that leads the stream to Wujia Town, and then attack with a long ladder.

It took only one day to reach Wujia Town by water, and Zhang Yingchen rushed to Wujia Town with two reinforced troops. Cannon fire was heard in the distance. Having seen the Qing army's artillery bombardment of Yong'an, the artillery of Wujiazhen is nothing at all. As for the musket, it was a big joke. Without looking, just listening, Zhang Yingchen judged that Wujiazhen's continuous musket shooting was purely for courage. It was absolutely impossible for Wei Ze to let his brothers attack Wujiazhen in a dense formation.

Sure enough, after arriving at the camp, Zhang Yingchen saw that the killing sound in the troops was shocking, and there were signs of a large-scale attack, but there was no large-scale attack. This is just a gang of dirt buns in Wujia Town who shot and fired their guns to observe their firing points.

"Where's Checkpoint Wei?" Zhang Yingchen asked. After all, following the guards, Zhang Yingchen still had to hurry up.

"Wei is on the other side of the village." It was Wei Changrong who presided over the tentative attack, and Hu Chenghe and Wei Ze were not there.

When they arrived at the hillside near the village, Zhang Yingchen and the others were about to pop out their eyes. I saw a large group of people standing on the hillside, and what was even more frightening was that several extremely huge umbrellas were slowly descending in mid-air. Looking at the texture of the umbrella from a distance, Zhang Yingchen knew that it was the tent cloth of Wei Ze's troops. Large water stains left behind after the water has dried are clearly visible. And there are dozens of ropes under the umbrella, and there are people hanging under the ropes.

The guard had never seen such a scene before, he was stunned for a while, and then stammered a little and asked, "Brother Zhang, ...... Zhang?"

Flying in the air is something that China thinks only immortals can do, even if they have such a big umbrella on their backs and can fly in the sky, it also scares these brothers' hearts fluttering.

Zhang Yingchen hadn't heard Wei Ze say anything about it, he didn't have time to answer the guard's question, and hurriedly rushed forward. When he got closer, Zhang Yingchen saw that it was a terrain quite similar to the mountain behind Wujia Town, and a group of brothers carried the huge umbrella on their backs and jumped down from a few feet above the ground. The umbrellas seemed to be holding on to something, and though the silk was soft, it was all ridged. With the help of the mountain wind, the brothers in mid-air slowly slid forward. When they fell to the ground, the brothers were all bearded and tailed, and they didn't look injured.

However, when Zhang Yingchen's realization looked elsewhere, he knew that his idea was wrong. But I saw a brother sitting on the ground next to him who had obviously broken his leg. There are also a few who don't know if their heads hit the ground first, with blood on their faces and cloth on their heads. There are also some brothers who have not fallen very hard, limping and limping under the support of others, thinking that they want to move their muscles and bones.

After a closer look, he saw that Wei Ze was leading Hu Chenghe to stand on the hillside where the brothers jumped to command. At this time, Zhang Yingchen had already understood, and Wei Ze still decided to move from the back mountain where Wujiazhen was relatively loosely defended. If a group of brothers can jump down the back hill with a big umbrella on their backs and fall into the back wall of Wujia Town, then as long as someone can defend the back wall, everyone can climb into the back wall.

This idea is easy to think of, but really turning such an unheard of and unseen tactic into reality, Zhang Yingchen still felt stunned for a while. Wei Ze has long given people a feeling that is difficult to describe, and Zhang Yingchen has long admired Wei Ze's five-body throw. Now what he felt was a throbbing, and Wei Ze was far beyond Zhang Yingchen's imagination.

"This ...... This...... This ...... "can be a guard of the Taiping Army, and he is naturally a brave person." But this is the same as stammering for the guards, repeating just one word. Zhang Yingchen turned his head to look, but saw the guards with their mouths open, watching the brothers jump down from the height that was originally destined to fall to death, and then fell safely to the ground. Thinking of the guard's horror at this time, Zhang Yingchen suddenly felt a strong sense of pride in his heart. Zhang Yingchen said in a calm voice as much as possible: "This brother, you wait here first, and I'll go and ask Wei to come down now." ”

Leaving behind the guards, Zhang Yingchen continued to walk forward. Only then did he notice that Wei Ze didn't blindly let everyone jump down from a height of several feet. As usual, there were several places to practice next to it, from a few feet to a zhang, and at a height of one battle five, two long bamboo poles were tied with ropes, and the brothers put the ropes on their bodies on the ropes, and then jumped down, with bamboo as a buffer, and the brothers slowly fell to the ground with great elasticity.

There are also officers in charge of military training, commanding everyone to jump. It was a difficult posture to describe, the whole person turned sideways, and the legs were also very strange. Whoever does not do well, the military trainer just pointed at it and scolded him. While scolding, he also made a corresponding demonstration.

Up the hillside, Zhang Yingchen didn't care about the guards below, but ran over and grabbed a big umbrella first. It turned out that there was a shelf tied with bamboo strips inside the umbrella, just like a kite. Only then did Zhang Yingchen understand why this silk-faced umbrella could be opened.

After reading the freshness, Zhang Yingchen told Wei Ze that a guard had come to deliver the military order. After Wei Ze listened, he took Hu Chenghe down the hill. At this time, the guards finally regained their strength, and while glancing at the parachuted brother, they handed over the military order to Wei Ze.

After reading the military order of Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, ordering Wei Ze to lead the troops to the north, Wei Ze replied: "Please also ask this brother to go back and report to the king of the south, Wei Ze will return to the army after fighting Wujiazhen." ”
