Chapter 17: Catching Up (3)

Gu Xingzhi wiped his sweat slightly, Wei Ze's troops were uniform, Gu Xingzhi was sixteen years old, medium height, and the bun on his head was extremely sturdy and beautiful. And the marching teenagers next to the queue where Gu Xingzhi was were all short. The warriors who had just joined with the money rat tail all had their braids cut and their heads grew short. Gu Xingzhi's queue is also a member of the new fighters, but he doesn't have to go through the troublesome process of cutting braids and growing his head. The female fighters only had to recoil their heads according to the rules of the troops.

For the brand-new type, Gu Xingzhi likes it very much. In particular, you need a comb to stay long, don't look at it as a gadget like a comb, but you need good materials and handwork. There is a logistics department in the army, and there are family traditions among the soldiers of the army who do this, and the logistics department provides the soldiers with a comb, a universal equipment. Gradually, each of the troops was given his own comb.

The radish is fast and does not wash the mud, and the combs are all made of bamboo, and the preparation of zuò is extremely simple. However, after joining the army, Gu Xingzhi was finally able to eat enough every day, and with combing his hair every day, his hair became darker and smoother. Even if there is a unified regulation, Gu Xingzhi secretly leaves a lock of head on the side of his sideburns, instead of completely tying his head on the top of his head. Soon, the entire female combat unit adopted such a pattern, and the combat training officers did not comment on it. When facing a large number of women, the young trainers were able to speak fluently without the effort of the old nose, where did they have the courage to say more things that had nothing to do with training.

After sorting out the thin length of his sideburns, Gu Xingzhi judged from the position of the sun that the troops had been marching for more than an hour. Gu Xingzhi really didn't expect that he would become a soldier one day, and he didn't expect that becoming a soldier would have to learn so many things. To learn to read and write, to learn mathematics. At least before joining the Taiping Army, Gu Xingzhi didn't know that there was the term "hour", let alone that the day was divided into twelve hours. Even the name Gu Xingzhi was only given after Wujiazhen joined the Taiping Army.

Before joining the Taiping Army, Gu Xingzhi was called Gu Damei. The women who participated in the Taiping Army were almost the same, and none of them had their own big names. The army was given a headache by the names of various eldest sisters, second sisters, and younger sisters, so they ordered everyone who did not have a big name to change their names.

The method of changing the name is also quite special, write a bunch of words, and everyone will pick which word is pleasing to the eye. Then the officer in charge of the name probably changed it, and the new name was determined for everyone. What makes Gu Xingzhi very proud is that her name was given with the help of Wei Zewei. A month after getting the new name, Gu Xingzhi understood what "Xingzhi" meant.

"Doing" means getting on the road, that is, moving forward, and more specifically, participating in Weese's team. Gu Xingzhi has no regrets about participating in Wei Ze's troops, he can eat enough and see such a vast world, if he has any chagrin, maybe he didn't be able to join such a team earlier.

As the first pawn and second of the Fourth Brigade, Gu Xingzhi knew his mission. This mixed combat unit of women and recruits will fight against the Qing army. The commander who led the group of recruits into battle was Inspector Wezeve. The opponent was Liu Changqing's division of the Qing army.

Liu Changqing is also an old opponent of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and Wei Ze's evaluation of this person is that he is extremely cunning in battle, and he immediately slipped away when he saw that the wind was not in the right direction. In the Battle of Dayuan, the entire Ulantai army that followed the pursuit of the Taiping army was annihilated, and five general soldiers were killed in the first battle. Xiang Rong, who was in charge of receiving Ulantai, only escaped with more than 3oo remnants of the defeated general. When the Taiping army tried to encircle and annihilate Liu Changqing's headquarters, Liu Changqing threw down the camp and ran back to his camp in Nanyuan, but he was unharmed.

Gu Xingzhi was puzzled that Wei Ze's evaluation of Liu Changqing even had the meaning of appreciation, "Being able to do this is also Liu Changqing's ability." The Qing demon armies that fought against the Taiping army together with Liu Changqing were defeated and annihilated. And this Liu Changqing turned out to be defeated but not defeated, and he still retained quite a lot of people. According to military discipline, Liu Changqing can be said to passively avoid war and ignore friendly troops. But it was the series of defeats of friendly forces that reflected Liu Changqing's 'credit'. At this time in Guangxi, the Manchu Qing Dynasty really couldn't do without Liu Changqing's army. ”

Gu Xingzhi, who came from a Hakka village near Wujia Town, had seen too many times that the government and Wujia Town colluded to oppress and even loot Hakka villages, so she couldn't understand Wei Ze's sense of humor. The weak are not worthy of praise at all, this is Gu Xingzhi's personal experience. The weak will only be looted and bullied, and the Hakka villages have turned over by relying on the strength of the Taiping army led by Wei Ze. Gu Xingzhi will follow Wei Ze and them, of course, because there are few men in Gu Xing's house, and the family does not dare to disobey the will of the village chief, so they can only let the eldest daughter Gu Xingzhi join Wei Ze's team. And Gu Xingzhi herself is willing to follow the strong, which is the fundamental reason why she can obey orders and listen to commands along the way without crying or making trouble. For an incompetent person like Liu Changqing, Gu Xingzhi really couldn't understand why Wei Ze was quite appreciative.

However, Gu Xingzhi also understood one thing, Wei Ze thought that if he wanted to defeat the Qing army, he had to eliminate Liu Changqing's troops first. And the key task of eliminating Liu Changqing's department had to be completed by this group of young men and women of the recruit team. Because he was worried that these teenagers would mess things up, Wei Ze personally led the team. Most of the teenagers from the six Hakka villages had seen Wei Ze lead the Taiping soldiers to parachute from the cliff several feet high, and the fearless figure flying in the sky made these teenagers have a heartfelt admiration for Wei Ze. With Wei Ze leading the team, Gu Xingzhi felt very stable in his heart, and even full of courage.

In the depths of a small road miles away from the juvenile queue, Liu Changqing did not know that he would be looked down upon by a country girl. Even if he knew, Liu Changqing wouldn't feel angry even if he was afraid. Even in the Qing army, there were many people who spoke ill of him behind his back, and even the minister of the Imperial Mission, Cezanne, looked down on Liu Changqing a little. When Xiang Rong and Ulantai and others fought extremely fiercely, the upper echelons of the Qing army were intrigued, but no one introduced Liu Changqing as an Austrian aid.

In this regard, Liu Changqing actually felt that he was quite aggrieved. The subordinates assigned to him were all Cantonese soldiers, who were extremely greedy for money, did not dare to do anything when they encountered the enemy, and never showed mercy in harassing the people. When guarding Guilin, there was even a saying that "bandits are like grates, and Yue is brave like shaving". This is not Yue Yong's business, how can Liu Changqing manage so much. Even the brave Qian soldiers, Hunan soldiers, and muskets and artillery comparable to the Eight Banners, are now turned into dry bones. Liu Changqing has persevered until now, does no one remember this hard work?

Just like the Taiping army fleeing north, Liu Changqing was responsible for following and pursuing. Before he could get far, he was suddenly called back. It turned out that a Taiping army that God knows where to pop up was advancing in the direction of Guilin. This command is clearly a toss-up.

The minister of the Qin Mission, Cezan'a, ordered Liu Changqing to lead his subordinates to meet the Taiping army along the official road, which was another chore. Obviously, the veteran general Xiang Rong is still in Guilin, why do you have to let Liu Changqing lead the 12oo Qing army to meet it head-on.

Therefore, Liu Changqing just ordered his subordinates to advance cautiously, and when he learned that there were still more than twenty miles away from the Taiping army in front. Liu Changqing led his team to turn a corner at a fork in the road, "going around to the back of the bandits."

From the point of view of the direction of this fork in the road, Liu Changqing's arrangement is correct, and if you follow the fork in the road, you can indeed go around the back of the Taiping army. Liu Changqing slowly led his subordinates to march, and the news of the horse exploration came one after another, "The vanguard of the rebel has passed through the fork in the road", "The rebel is divided into two teams to march", "The rear team of the rebel is approaching the fork in the road", "There are many women with baggage in the rear team of the rebel".

After getting the last news, Liu Changqing's eyes lit up. He commanded, "Explore! ”

Soon, Tanma brought back more accurate information, "There are more than 500 people in the rebel team, half of them are women, half of them are teenagers, and there are very few rebels in their prime. The rebels carried a large number of packages. ”

Women, teenagers, parcels. These three keywords made Liu Changqing feel very good, and his subordinates also smiled and said to Liu Changqing, "Admiral, the traitor is arranged like this, he must not be an old bandit in Guangxi, if we can defeat the rebel team, it will be a great achievement." ”

This kind of building yì is completely in line with Liu Changqing's idea, women, teenagers, and parcels, representing a flock of fat sheep. If you are lucky, it is the result of wealth, sex, and the enemy's rank. Even if you are not so lucky, you can have both. The worst outcome is to be able to make a profit.

Afraid that there was some trap in the middle, Liu Changqing sent the probe horse out like a flowing stream, and soon determined again that the strength of the traitor was at the front, and the women and children were left in the rear. At this point, Liu Changqing also made up his mind, and he ordered his subordinates to speed up the march and attack this rebel army from behind. 1,200 people against 500, Liu Changqing is still very confident of winning.

After some rushing, Liu Changqing finally led his subordinates to attack the Taiping army from behind. However, this army of women and teenagers is as difficult to swallow as a hedgehog. Faced with an attack from behind, a small group of young men rushed out of this mixed team, and they actually lined up neatly and lined up with muskets.

The pace of the tide warriors slowed down, they were officers and soldiers, and they knew what would happen if they hit the muskets head-on. As soon as it was delayed, the woman and the boy ran away. This made Liu Changqing anxious, and he finally had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but the cooked duck showed signs of flying away.

"Line up and fire your guns!" Liu Changqing shouted hysterically.

After all, the officers and soldiers were numerous, and the width and thickness of the team were not at all comparable to the small Taiping army on the opposite side. Before the officers and soldiers began to approach, the Taiping soldiers began to fire their guns. The officers and soldiers were only slightly surprised, but they were not afraid. At this distance, the musket was not accurate at all.

Next, the Taiping army, which had finished putting their guns away, turned around and ran. The original momentum of desperate fighting disappeared without a trace.

"Chase!" Looking at his stunned subordinates, Liu Changqing shouted.

After the chase lasted for more than a mile, muskets thrown by the Taiping army began to appear on the ground, and after chasing for more than a mile, abandoned burdens and straw sandals appeared on the ground. The tide warriors excitedly rushed up to pick up the package and opened it, which was filled with clothes, and then rummaged inside, and found copper coins and scattered silver. At this time, the Chaoyong who untied their burdens began to snatch each other, and the Chaoyong outside the robbery circle began to continue to pursue the boys and girls who fled.

After all, the teenagers had no strength, and some of them couldn't run, so they threw the package they were carrying on their backs on the ground. At the beginning, the Chaoyong also opened the package to take a look, and each time the Chaoyong showed clothes and money from it. At this time, the tide warriors who have already benefited want to get more, and the tide warriors who have not received the benefits want to go up and grab a hand.

The boys were running fast, and every time they dropped a few packages, they would rush to rush bravely. chased out for another two or three miles, Chao Yong only picked up two or three hundred packages, but failed to catch up with the fleeing teenager. Looking at the teenager running behind, panting, the package on his back was jolting up and down. The gang of Chaoyong, who had chased for four or five miles and had not been able to pick up a package, panted and cursed angrily, intimidated, and continued to chase like hungry wolves.

Liu Changqing is still relatively sober, and after chasing along the way, the 12oo Qing army he led out has already run like a sheep. The whole team has become a long line, and the officers cannot find the soldiers, and the soldiers cannot find the officers. "Collect the troops! Collect the troops! Liu Changqing shouted loudly, hoping to gather the troops.

"The Qing army is starting to close?" Zhang Yingchen soon received information from the reconnaissance unit. Regarding Liu Changqing's cleverness, Zhang Yingchen smiled happily: "Liu Changqing still understands!" However, it was too late! ”

After a pause, Zhang Yingchen praised: "Those little dolls did a good job!" Ring the arrow and start the next battle! ”
