Chapter 384: Ten Thousand Horses Galloping

The situation on the battlefield has changed from the temptation of the vanguard of the two armies to the prelude to the decisive battle, and he Chun stood on the top of the hill and only felt sweaty, he wiped a handful of sweat, and transferred a team to support.

Up to now, he has transferred three corps to support him in succession, and the Hong Army has fought so far, and the scale of the battle is only about the size of an infantry battalion, plus dozens of cavalry, but the situation is completely one-sided, and the soldiers of the Jiangnan battalion are all passive.

In the depths of his heart, He Chun was very much in agreement with the plan of the monk Lingqin, he felt that the plan of the monk king was very feasible, only to attract the infantry of the rainbow army, and then the infantry and cavalry attacked, he could annihilate all the two or three thousand red thieves and achieve an unprecedented victory.

He even thought that this time the red thieves were brought in, as long as the troops of his Jiangnan battalion could completely solve the problem, but now the military affairs of the Qincha superintendent and the governor of Jiangnan are sweating more and more.

He couldn't count how many troops he had added, and how many troops had stepped down, only knowing that his troops were all passive, and there were many casualties in the fight so far, but not how many red thieves had been killed, it seemed that what came in this net was not a big fish, not even a struggling big fish that Monk Lingqin said, but a whale bigger than a net, no! It's a shark the size of a whale!

Thinking of the bloody nature of this shark, He Chun wiped his sweat again, and he asked the monk for help for the first time: "Monk King, now that Hu Songlin can't stand it, do you want Lord Sheng Baosheng to go out and rush!" ”

Monk Greenqin was also shocked by the good fighting and tenacity of the red thief, how many troops did the Jiangnan battalion fill in? If you don't have three thousand, you can have two thousand! But with so many people facing hundreds of red thieves, he was at a disadvantage, and he even felt that even if he won, it would be difficult to write this report.

This is a precedent, when Ulantai fought with the Taiping army in Guangxi, there was a battle of Duchela Mountain, that battle was won according to Ulantai's own report, but the victory could not be written, the reason is very simple, more than 1,000 green battalion soldiers in Weining Town of the Qing army found that more than 30 Taiping troops were on the top of Duchela Mountain, so they concentrated dozens of artillery bombardment, as a result, the Taiping army suffered a lot of casualties, more than ten people went down the mountain to break through, the Qing army continued to bombard, and the result was that the seven Taiping soldiers thought that it was a dead end anyway, and it was better to fight back.

So the most miraculous scene in the history of the Taiping War appeared, more than 1,000 officers and soldiers of Weining Town, Guizhou Province saw the seven Taiping troops reflexively killed, and the whole army fled, leaving dozens of artillery pieces and the entire battalion ignored, and even kneeling on the ground and being hacked alive by the Taiping army, and Ulantai gathered the defeated soldiers, and the officers and soldiers of Weining Town did not dare to fight, with the back of the knife, scolding, and even to deal with it strictly, no one was willing to come out, the officers only knew to take off their tops and kneel on the ground, and finally reluctantly went out thirty or forty people, Fortunately, the Taiping army had withdrawn from the barracks.

On the other hand, more people jumped into the river and drowned than the Taiping army, and the battle situation of this battle did not come from the Taiping army or other third-party materials, but from Ulantai's own twists and turns, but Ulantai described this battle as an overall victory.

And now the monk king doesn't know how to write this story afterwards, can he directly say that the 3,000 people in the Jiangnan camp can't eliminate five or six hundred red thieves?

Just thinking about it, He Chun had already jumped to his feet: "Damn! The Red Thief dragged the cannon up! ”

Monk Greenqin opened his eyes and looked, isn't it exactly? The red thief only had one or two small cannons to support before, but now that several cannons have been dragged up, the soldiers who originally had no artillery to support the Jiangnan battalion couldn't parry, let alone pull up a company's artillery now, he could only say: "Shengbao, you rush!" Don't startle the snake! ”

As he spoke, the entire battlefield was filled with the sound of gunfire, and there were fires between the Rainbow Army and the Qing Army in all directions. ..., "The Dragon Lance Battalion has already fought with the infantry of the Qing army!" Jutun happily reported to Liu Chang: "Our other two infantry battalions have gone up to support!" ”

"Be careful of the horse team, be careful of the horse team!" Liu Chang accentuated his tone: "The command responsibility for the Battle of Yanqu lies with me, and I will bear it, but this time, if there are major losses in the Dragon Lance Regiment, you and I will be held responsible!" ”

Zhu Dun already understood, and he said loudly: "I will go up and command it in person immediately, there are a lot of soldiers and horses of the Qing Demon!" ”

The Qing army did invest a lot of infantry troops, but their main firearms were still shotguns, carrying guns and a small number of foreign guns and foreign cannons, and the result was that the Qing army was completely suppressed in the continuous firing between the two sides.

The advantage of the Rainbow Army is not only in the firing range, but also in the rate of fire, many times, half a mile away, the Qing army has been straddled by the Rainbow Army's gun and artillery combos, and has to retreat and regroup.

And Katsuho did not absorb the previous lesson, he saw the battlefield of the battle between the two sides unfolding along the lake, and immediately exclaimed excitedly: "When the narrow road meets, the brave wins, brothers, press these red thieves into the lake for me!" ”

He ordered two thousand soldiers, and rushed over with a very dense square formation, and Zhu Dun, who had just arrived at the battlefield in person, found Shengbao's support army for the first time in the binoculars: "There is a large number of Qing demons? It's a winning word, it's Shengbao's rice bucket, artillery! Artillery! Artillery! Rapid fire! ”

The regimental artillery company and the artillery company of the first battalion had just arrived at the battlefield and finished plating, and they also found the target in their artillery mirror: "Left front, left front, ...... distance"

They reported the coordinates and directions, and then one of the leftmost guns began to bombard, white smoke covered the position, and the shells crossed the arc and landed accurately in the formation of the Shengbao infantry brigade, tearing apart the formation of dozens of people in an instant, but the second artillery began to shoot again: "Release!" Put! Put! ”

The entire Shengbao's dense group of 2,000 infantry became the key bombardment targets of several artillery companies, and solid bullets, grapeshot bullets, and shotguns tore the formation again and again in the dense formation of the Qing army, and countless cracks could be cut in an instant. ”

It's just that at this time, the rainbow army also concentrated a hundred mini rifles and began to fire a salvo at the dense Shengbao army, and the raining of guns and shells made the Shengbao army face a second disaster, and many officers had already knelt on the ground as soon as they saw this situation, and shouted: "Disperse, disperse!" ”

They could already see that the formation at the beginning was too dense for the artillery fire of the Hong Army to shoot through the entire formation without hesitation, but Katsuho immediately shouted angrily: "It's still a big man! Give me a neat line, rush, rush! ”

He had never only taken the casualty figure as a number, but as soon as he said this, the officers and soldiers around him immediately fled from a distance, and they knew very well that the denser the formation, the faster they would die!

In fact, the gun and artillery attack of the rainbow army only caused more than 100 casualties in the Shengbao infantry brigade, and Shengbao's scolding lost more people, and now the monk king can also see that the red thief's artillery is sharp, and it is indeed a strong enemy: "Pull up all the artillery we bought from Shanghai and Ningbo!" Pull it up! ”

Now the Ming Antai and Hu Songlin armies in front of them were originally defeated, because of Shengbao's attack, they instead occupied a simple defensive line along a hill, and the appearance of Qing artillery also made the task of the Hongjun artillery turn to suppress these Western artillery, and the battle line stabilized slightly.

Taking advantage of this effort, Shengbao has already taken more than 1,000 infantry to press up again, but the rainbow army in front of him is also in the process of increasing troops, and the participants, including artillery, baggage, and cavalry, there are at least 1,500 people, considering that there are gunshots from all sides, Monk Greenqin feels that the main force of the dragon spear regiment has been put into battle. ..., he sighed: "No wonder He Guiqing was defeated, with the weakness of Zhejiang's troops, how can he be the master of this drama!" ”

He Chun also deeply agreed: "This is the first fierce party under Liu Jiehu, it has long been rumored, although there are only more than 2,000, it is enough to be 10,000 officers and soldiers, and when I see it today, it really deserves its name!" ”

As he spoke, Shengbao gathered hundreds of infantry from behind, barely holding the battle line, and He Chun continued: "I have heard He Genyun say that the thieves are the strongest party, but the dragon lance, Nanxi, and the rock are only the three strands, and the dragon spear is the most among the thieves, and today to participate in the war, it is the most fierce among the dragon spears!" ”

Monk Greenqin asked: "I heard that in addition to this dragon lance regiment, there are still two regiments in the dragon lance brigade?" ”

Hechun's intelligence is a bit problematic: "There are still teachings and new second regiments, but they are not strong forces, and being able to break the dragon spear regiment today is enough to make the thief feel cold!" Monk, your horse team has to move! ”

Monk Greenqin glanced at the battle situation in front of him, now the two sides are still in a stalemate, the strength of the rainbow army has increased slightly by one or two hundred, but there is no increase in momentum, presumably all the main forces of the dragon spear regiment have been invested in the entire battlefield, and the area around the lake in front of the eye can be said to be the key to the decisive battle between the two sides.

Up to now, the Qing army has invested six or seven thousand foot troops, except for the dead and wounded, it can't stop the red thieves who are only 17,800 people, but the red thieves have attacked so far, and there should be no spare strength, so Seng Lingqin nodded and made up his mind: "Just listen to the words of the military gate, order the brothers of the horse team, sell me some strength, and I also expect you to have a few more Baturu!" ”

Although the Qing army gathered along the lake reached 25,000 people, but now the mobile forces around Seng Greenqin, in addition to the 4,300 horse team, there are only more than 3,000 foot troops, and Seng Greenqin has already set the tactics of breaking through: "The horse team is in the middle to break the thief, and the infantry team is on both sides!" ”

"The prince has an order, the horse team is out!"

"The prince has an order, the horse team is out!"

With the order of Monk Lingqin, the 4,300 horse team immediately roared, and the earth was shaken, and they pressed towards the Hongjun brigade by the lake like dark clouds in the sky.

The sound of horses' hooves whistling, as if they could press the dragon spear regiment into the lake at any time, Shengbao also became excited: "Brothers, the brave one who meets on the narrow road wins, and I will win Baochong!" "——u-c-t-x-t——[UCebook]End of body [UCebook]——u——c——t——x-t
