Shi Huiji even asked: "What is this planning?" ”

With the combat effectiveness of the Qing army, one battalion of the dragon spear battalion fought four or five battalions of the Qing army one after another with the support of a number of auxiliary troops, and in the case that less than 1,000 Qing troops were invested in the town of Chuzhou, it was completely sufficient to invest one main infantry battalion in the direction of Xianju.

If one more infantry battalion is added, then the victory of the Hong Army will be completely unsuspenseful, but the problem now is that the Hong Army has invested all three main infantry battalions - although the Nanxi Battalion has left the strongest infantry company and artillery to the Huang (Yan) Tai (Ping) ** Battalion, but Shi Huiji has only one feeling, that is, it is too exaggerated.

He even sympathized with the hundreds of Qing troops sent by the prefecture and town, and did not know how long they could hold out under the offensive of the three main infantry battalions.

Huo Qiu agreed and couldn't understand that Liu Chang was so aggressive against hundreds of Qing troops, but he knew that he had to obey the order first, because he specially explained Shi Huiji's sentence: "As soon as we leave, the task of your ** battalion is very heavy, on this border, the Qing Demon's Tuyong, the militia and the green battalion soldiers will launch a counterattack at any time, if they can't support it, they can ask for support from the inspection point!" ”

Although the three main infantry battalions were all engaged in the counterattack against the Qing army in Chuzhou Town, Liu Chang still retained a large number of troops in Taiping County, including a complete teaching battalion and a large number of auxiliary troops, which could fully draw troops to support the ** battalion in the battle.

Shi Huiji smiled: "I think it's better for our two battalions to join forces now and beat this Huangyan Qing army hard, so that he doesn't have the courage to attack Taiping, Lao Huo, is there a hurry?" ”

"No hurry!" Huo Qiu told him, "We still have two full days to complete this sweep!" ”

For the militia groups on the Huangyan and Taiping borders, Tuyong and the green camp guarding the flood. These two days were disastrous days, the Red Turban Army, which had always been guarding the border of Taiping County, actually dispatched a large force to cross the border of Taiping County, directly entered the territory of Huangyan, adopted the tactics of splitting and attacking together, and ruthlessly defeated the Qing army in Huangyan many times.

During these two days, at least 200 Green Battalion soldiers, Tu Yong, and militia regiments were killed, wounded, or captured by the Red Turban Army who crossed the border. This is also the result of them immediately fleeing when they see that the limelight is not right, and if they resist in place, I am afraid that not a single unit will survive.

They deliberately asked for help from Huangyan Town in Huangyan County, but Huangyan Town's first reaction was to order these Tuyong and militia groups to fully shrink to Huangyan County in order to increase the strength of the defenders of the city -- the general army of Huangyan Town judged that the Red Turban Army was preparing to attack Huangyan County next, and this northern attack was a prelude to the siege.

This order caused the entire border defense line of Huangyan and Taiping to collapse almost automatically at the first time, and also prepared for the Red Turban Army to march into Xianju next.

Liu Chang gestured the direction of Xianju on the ground and told his officers: "This time, the Qing army sent to aid Taizhou in Chuzhou Town, because Yongjia and Yueqing are under the control of my Red Turban friendly army, they can only make a detour to Jinyun and Xianju to help. Now that we have arrived at Xianju and are about to march towards Huangyan, our army is determined to concentrate three main infantry battalions, cross Huangyan and rush to Xianju in one fell swoop, and completely annihilate them all in the movement, the purpose of this battle is to completely annihilate and never let an enemy escape. ”

The officers of the Rainbow Army expressed puzzlement that Liu Chang had concentrated three main infantry battalions to find hundreds of reinforcements from Chuzhou Town, but they all stood up straight. Waiting for Liu Chang's next order: "This attack is not aimed at occupying the town, but trying to annihilate the reinforcements sent by the enemy in the field battle, are you confident?" ”

"Somewhere!" It was Qu Jie who said this, and he has always only played the role of an uploader: "Absolutely confident!" Although it is necessary to fight across counties. However, the mileage of the leap is less than 100 miles, and our dragon lance battalion can definitely play a key role. ”

For this operation, everyone also saw clearly that the actual name was to leap from Huangyan County to Xianju County, but the actual mileage of the leap was not far, just a little bit of Huangyan and then straight into Xianju County, everyone was concerned about the real purpose of this operation.

The soldiers of Chuzhou Town, they encountered it a few times when they were in Wenzhou. The combat effectiveness and the warm green battalion are half a catty, and they have been severely damaged and annihilated by them many times.

Lu Ziyun, known as one of the twin clouds of Nanxi, stood up and asked: "Check, is this operation to destroy the enemy's determination to send aid to Taizhou?" ”

Liu Chang nodded: "That's right, but it's not just Chuzhou Town, but Chuzhou Town and Jinhua Town!" ”

Lu Ziyun and Liu Chang had such a conversation, and everyone understood.

After the main force of the rainbow army leaped to Xianju, it could enter the hinterland of Chuzhou Town to the south. To the north, you can enter the hinterland of Jinhua Town, which is the most direct threat to these two military towns.

These two military towns will never dare to use a large number of troops to reinforce Taizhou until the threat of the Hong army entering the hinterland of their own town is lifted, so that the next Hong army only needs to concentrate on dealing with Huangyan Town.

Huo Qiu, who rushed back to participate in this pre-battle meeting, fought for Shi Huiji: "Check." If the main force of our army rushes to Xianju, the task of the ** battalion is very heavy. Shi Huiji and Feng Sixian both said that no matter how big the task is, they will resolutely complete the task and ensure that the enemy army will never step into Taiping County, but their strength is weak, so they proposed to put up the shelf of Huangyan ** Company first. ”

Liu Chang nodded: "No problem, Huangyan ** even the unit that was originally going to be established, now it's good to put up the shelf in advance, tell them to be more flexible, the main force is a short-term attack this time, and it will return to Taiping soon, are there any other problems?" ”

"There is no problem!"

For the first major battle after entering Taiping County, all the officers were full of confidence, although it was a cross-border battle, but with three main infantry battalions in the field to find and destroy hundreds of enemy troops, it can be said that it was an easy battle.

As for the small number of Tuyong, militia groups, and green battalions that may be encountered along the way, they are just being solved.

……

Wu Hongchuan felt that he was very unlucky, he could have stayed at home and made a fortune peacefully, but this task of rushing to help Taizhou was on him.

He suspected that he was too lucky at the gambling table and accidentally won several handfuls of the general soldier's wife, but Shen Guerrilla didn't secretly get along with the general soldier's wife like himself, why didn't this damn task take his turn!

But in any case, it was his turn to preside over this dangerous task, and the chief soldier only gave six hundred soldiers, and he and his wife blew the pillow wind several times, and barely won one hundred more soldiers to come.

But is 700 soldiers enough? He was full of doubts, Chuzhou Town sent three waves of reinforcements to Wenzhou, 1,300 soldiers, but these 1,300 soldiers fled back only about 100 people, and the rest fell into thieves.

At that time, Wu Hongchuan still thought it was a good thing, he personally went to talk to the little daughters-in-law who had no husbands, and talked about it late at night, among which two foreign commissioners had no children when they went on the expedition, and now Wu Hongchuan has been helping them take care of their pregnant daughter-in-law for several months, and openly promised that as long as these two foreign commissioners can always come back safely, regardless of whether the child is full-term or not, Wu Hongchuan can take care of their children to adulthood.

It's just that this person is too romantic, and it is inevitable that he will be jealous, Wu Hongchuan cried and told several women the news that he was going to lead troops to the battle, and those women actually had similar reactions: "General Wu, you are using such a bad excuse to tease people, okay, I haven't been here for a long time, let's go tonight, you can ......decide the location."

But Wu Hongchuan can't even sleep with a woman now, and he was alone in a single coat and frozen all night before the expedition.

His skills are all in the fat powder pile, and his ability to lead soldiers to fight is so loose that he can't be more slackened, and he usually follows the general soldier and deputy general to kill some small bandits, and earn a little war merit is barely okay, but if he wants to fight with real thieves, how can he deal with it.

What's more, he has inquired, this team of thieves who captured Taizhou is not an ordinary Red Turban Army, but the most courageous Liu Jiehu in the Red Turban Army, it is said that this Liu Jiehu led hundreds of Red Turban thieves to kill the corpse mountain in front of the Panshi Village, and the loss of Wenzhen officers and soldiers amounted to as much as 3,000.

What can I do? What can I do? Shangfeng had an order, and he couldn't slow it down for a day, so he could only rush to Taizhou, but he couldn't eat well and sleep every day.

When was the last time you were so worried? Wu Hongchuan finally remembered after thinking about tea and dinner, that was the time when Xu Qian always suspected that his son was not biological, and he wanted to drip blood to recognize his relatives, that time Wu Hongchuan had worked hard to cover up the past, but what should he do this time?

When he arrived in Xianju City, he was going to enter Huangyan County tomorrow, Wu Hongchuan didn't think about it, Xianju Zhixian knew his reputation, arranged two women for him, and asked him to raise his noble hand not to disturb the place, and hurry up tomorrow, and told him that everything on the road was peaceful, and now the Hongjun is still trapped in Taiping County.

But "everything is peaceful on the road", Wu Hongchuan felt that something was wrong when he thought about it, and he couldn't sleep at night, so he got up in his single clothes and paced around in the tent.

His mission to support the army is to insert from behind the red thief and cut off the connection between Liu Jiehu and the Wenzhou red thief in one fell swoop, but this task is too difficult, Wu Hongchuan wonders if he was made dumplings by countless red thieves as soon as he entered Taiping County!

Taiping County, Taiping County? Is everything safe on the road?

Wu Hongchuan understood at once, fortunately there was a woman who still had a little conscience, and prepared him with a piece of equipment necessary for marching and fighting, he breathed a long sigh of relief, hugged the suit and fell asleep.

It's just that he was sleeping soundly, but suddenly he heard the roar of gunfire, and then shouted that the killing was earth-shattering, and a general directly got into his tent: "General, the big thing is not good, the red thief has been killed!" ”
