"It was actually Zhou Tearing Tiger who met Capture Tiger Lang, which is really interesting"

Listening to the sound of the enemy army who had fallen into decline, he suddenly cheered up and shouted continuously, and Zhou Huai'an, who was standing on the stage to watch the battle, immediately showed a playful smile.

Although this is a relatively wild and remote Jiangxi region in the south, the probability of encountering tigers in the wild is not small; And it should be the smaller South China Tiger that is considered a battle, but it is also at the top of nature's food chain, and it is not easy to capture or kill it.

"Pass my order, and the soldiers also shouted for Captain Zhou for a while.

A moment later, Sha Da, the guard who was standing in front of Zhou Huai'an and was responsible for carrying the flag, immediately shouted in a deafening voice:

"Zhou tearing tiger."

Then, in the process of passing out layer by layer, it became the roaring waves of landslides and tides.

"Zhou tearing tiger."

"Zhou tearing tiger."

"Zhou tearing the tiger, kill him a ghost."

"Tear the tiger lieutenant, tear him a dog."

Zhou Ben, who was using swords and spears together and the enemy generals who suddenly came out to block the way, was indistinguishable and fought together, and heard it in an instant; Then I couldn't help but be stunned and was bumped by the other party with all my strength for a few steps, and almost fell to the ground.

Then it became a kind of heartfelt encouragement and excitement and rubbed back and back; The other party also waved the halberd in his hand as if he heard the sound, and pounced on the close hand like a mad tiger.

They are like chess opponents or generals, and they are evenly matched and evenly matched and fought for dozens of rounds in one go; also cleared a conspicuous blank in the chaotic and complicated battle array;

Because the battle between these two people is blazing, it is like setting off a hurricane of swords and soldiers out of thin air, every time someone wants to come forward to help, or if they react for a while, they can't dodge and stay in place, they will be wrapped up in it and accidentally injured, mistakenly killed, and then leave a large piece of stump and severe. After a few times, he never dared to approach and help him again.

After losing the momentum driven by this enemy general, the new force under his command was also prone to fatigue and decline, and in the face of the Taiping Army's rotation and superposition, it was constantly rebounded and suppressed back with ease, and slowly turned into a defensive position that was struggling to support.

As for the enemy troops in other positions on the battlefield, they were even more unbearable, and with the impact and influence of the sound of one side being pressed over, from the periphery of less pressure, small groups of people began to flee.

However, he was hindered and couldn't fight for a long time on the spot, and wanted to fight elsewhere but was entangled by Zhou Ben; The enemy general, who had the nickname "Tiger Lang", also became more and more impatient and anxious; I saw that the sweat and blood on the two of them were all mixed together, and the shiny clothes and armor were also full of dust, mud and gaps, and suddenly the other party roared loudly.

Zhou Ben suddenly exchanged swords and spears, but saw that the other party was retreating in a loud voice, obviously wanting to reflexively retreat to his own subordinates; I couldn't help but be anxious in my heart, and suddenly swung my spear to the left, but I missed the right and overturned the opponent's helmet, and the cape was scattered.

At this moment, he missed, but let the other party see the opportunity and turned around again, that is, he grabbed Zhou Ben's belt and smashed the halberd, and he held the horizontal branch with his empty hand and couldn't get down for the time being, and the handle of the knife in the other hand was close to the opponent's shoulder armor, and the smashing snorted but did not let go at all.

However, Zhou Ben hit the opponent's head with a quick hand, and the opponent who had no helmet protection suffered a big loss; In an instant, the red blood color burst out between the eyebrows, and he had to let go of Zhou Ben's belt;

Then, when he was dizzy and swung out the halberd and wanted to retreat to open the distance, he was caught by Zhou Ben's bleeding left hand, and the other hand pressed his shoulder and twisted it hard, and in an instant, the other party screamed and loosened his arm softly.

From this moment on, the winner was divided, although the opponent quickly pulled out the dagger from his waist again, and stabbed it Zhou Ben's waist ribs, but he also twisted off his other arm, and the enemy lifted the whole person upside down high, and knocked his head back on the ground and fainted.

As the "Tiger Catcher" in the enemy army was erected by several flagpoles, the sky was high in the air. For a while, those enemy troops who were still trapped in the bitter battle of the beast were as if they had been ignited with an invisible blasting rod, and as if they had been severely smashed into some kind of spiritual pillar; In an instant, in an uproar mixed with exclamations and cries, it began to collapse completely.

"It looks like their Zhou Tearing Tiger is better, and he actually tore the other party's forehead Tiger Lang on the spot."

Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but fold left and right and sighed again; In ancient times, the behavior of fighting alone in warfare may seem a little rough and simple or even child's play, but the dominance and impact on the battle situation and morale are also obvious.

At this time, on the head of the city, the banner with the word "high" that had been swaying suddenly disappeared; It looks like he saw that the situation was not good and ran away. Because, following the defeat and retreat of the enemy troops under the city, there have been two partial divisions of the Taiping army one after another, taking the opportunity to enter the city gate.

You must know that as the exclusive technical weapons and characteristic services of the Taiping Army, the fire throwing team and the model team have not yet come and put into use; Relying only on the traditional cold-weapon combat method of these advance troops, which marched in parallel with cavalry and flanked attacks, they had already suppressed and eliminated the enemy in the encounter under the city;

This is where the organization and training degree under the large collective cultivation can bring the bonus and advantage of stable combat effectiveness. The endurance threshold of relative morale durability and environmental adaptation is relatively high; The tolerance rate for battlefield accidents is also better than that of most traditional armies.

In this way, even if the battle is defeated, there is a certain probability of regrouping and fighting again, or maintaining the orderly retreat of the formation, or gathering the scattered troops back; Then, after learning the lessons, they become more resilient and combative.

Of course, the biggest benefit is that you are not afraid of heads-up. If I can't pick you alone, it won't hurt the overall morale; I can use a whole army to pick you up again, and continue to fuck a group of people, dare to ask you if you are afraid.

Although these rebel enemies under the city seem to be quite numerous, they have a variety of banners and different equipment and training; Although it was still a little tenacious at the beginning of the fight, once the overall rout was broken, it was also a disintegration and the decisiveness of fleeing was extraordinarily fast, but it made the Taiping soldiers who came later have to spend more strength and twists and turns in order to outflank and annihilate them as much as possible.

After more than two hours, Zhou Huai'an, who was standing on the gatehouse, also saw the remnants of the defenders found in the city; I also roughly know the cause and effect of the events before and after.

Probably, the newly popped up person who claimed to be the Jiangxi observation envoy Gao Maoqing also had some means. He not only appeased and annexed the local armed and miscellaneous forces of Wuning, Gao'an, Fenning, Shanggao, and Xinwu that were scattered outside the area controlled by the Taiping, but also successively defeated Zhu Congli of Chongren and Huang Tianzhen of Xincheng.

In the end, taking advantage of the situation, they united and attacked Yuzhang, the capital of Hongzhou. The remnants of the big families in the city took advantage of the time to attack and assassinate the left-behind governor Pan Yu and the deputy lieutenant Li Fengcheng who went to the merchant's house for a banquet; I want to do what is there and what is the way to win the door.

But I didn't expect that after the heads of these two old rebels were revealed, most of the Taiping soldiers did not collapse because of this. Instead, Zhao Ting, the general of the camp, gathered the remaining men and horses who hated the same enemy, and counterattacked to carry out the purge in the city; Eventually, the hasty rebellion was suppressed before the rebel forces and the local Tu Gang coalition arrived.

At present, it has been a full eleven days of attack before breaking the dilapidated siege of the three garrison battalions of the Taiping Army; Then the remaining Taiping soldiers did not collapse immediately, but with the help and support of the freed slaves and lowly people who were several times larger than themselves in the city, they retreated into the relatively intact sub-city of the city and held on.

However, these rebel coalition forces did not stop much, and on the one hand, they took the opportunity to plunder in the city of Hongzhou, massacring and liquidating those ordinary people who had assisted and traveled with the Taiping army, and on the other hand, they also sent people to set up barriers on the river with joint boats, temporarily cutting off the shipping and transmission channels of the Ganshui River basin to the outside.

It's just that they didn't expect the main force of the Taiping army to return from the land; That's why he was defeated and scattered under the city.

And the bad news is not only that, in the south, there is also a person who claims to be the assassin of Jizhou, and the whole sarcasm has raised a rebellion; It has occupied Xinxin, Chongren and other places between Fuzhou and Jizhou. In addition, in Jizhou, Yuanzhou, and Qianzhou, there were various degrees of chaos and attacks on Taiping strongholds.

Knowing this, Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but sigh, in the final analysis, it was too fast and easy to get up early to capture it, and it was far away from the base area so that it lacked time and manpower, and it was too late to clean up the historical legacy of the place. It seems that this return journey will be a bloody road.

Zhou Huai'an originally led the men and horses to the Huimeng to be about 10,000 people, but after a series of rounds of battles and supplements in Jiangdong Province, and a large number of soldiers from other tribes, and after selecting the best and strongest to enrich the army, the number increased several times and finally remained at about 30,000 men.

Later, after dividing the troops to the south to attack the strategy in several ways, he led the elite army to Huainan territory, and was able to expand and collect many men and horses in the local area; Therefore, in addition to the people and horses and Ding Zhuang who were returned one after another, the infantry team that acted with Zhou Huai'an this time has grown to more than 50,000 people.

Therefore, in addition to the more than 20,000 of them who were transported away by water first, and carefully selected new pawns from Jiangdong, Zhejiang, Zhejiang and Huainan; Now accompanying Zhou Huai'an on land are more than 30,000 relatively experienced mixed troops. As long as you let your hands go, it will be enough to suppress and cleanse the situation anywhere.

After all, compared with the original dispatch of troops, there is obviously a dilemma of insufficient manpower; This time, Zhou Huai'an had more than 2,000 new and old members of the "three detachments" trained in Jiangdong and Huainan, more than 100 comprehensive groups, and tens of thousands of troops as a guarantee for execution.

"According to the Xuanzi No. 3 plan, for areas that have been repeated, three-level clean-up measures will be implemented."

“。。。。。。”

"For the key areas of the occupation, the first-level cleaning program will be implemented."

"All adult males on the list of five categories of elements shall be executed immediately with the unanimous consent of the three captains of the Visit, Census, and Work Team, and only need to report afterwards."

"The same applies to the right to arrest persons temporarily retained within the system; The nearby Tunzhuang patrol team, the guards of the workshop and the mine, must try to cooperate with the people. ”
