Chapter 251: Mentor
Zhou Xiuying jumped on the war horse without hesitation and shouted loudly: "Cavalry battalion!" Charge! The inspector is watching you!"
At this moment, Zhang Yuliang in front had already led his own soldiers to kill: "Give me all back, go back!"
Zhang Yuliang, who is usually kind and talkative, has become a real butcher at this moment, and he shouted: "If you don't go back, there is only one way to die!"
And his own soldiers also made a ruthless knife, directly blocking the retreating crowd, the machete cut down one after another, cutting over more than a dozen routs, the soldiers were covered in blood, but they killed more energetically: "Go back and fight with the red thief, go back quickly!"
In this case, the defeated soldiers saw the blood gushing in front of them, and the soldiers who were hacked to death and slashed let out a scream and moan, and they couldn't help but feel frightened, they didn't dare to move forward, so they were ready to look back at the details of the situation. (The fastest and most stable update, ReadTalk.com, N.)
Although the two infantry battalions invested by the Hong Army now still have enough courage to succeed, their troops are too small, and now they are only seven or eight hundred people on the battlefield, as long as this group of Qing troops dares to turn back and fight, they can be drowned by virtue of the superiority of people on the sea.
But at this moment, the iron cavalry roared, and the horses galloped, like the huge waves of Qiantang, and Zhou Xiuying and the officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion over there all swung their sabers and roared past with the densest queue, and before the military horses galloped, no one dared to stand in front of them.
Originally, in the face of the infantry troops of the Hong Army, the Qing army led by Zhang Yuliang could no longer support it, not to mention that now such a team of roaring cavalry has been killed, and the Qing army did not dare to turn back at this moment, so they rushed directly to Zhang Yuliang's supervision team: "The red thief has cavalry!" The Red Thief's horse team is up!"
For the infantry, the well-organized and well-trained infantry can completely restrain the charge of the cavalry troops, but the problem is that now this group of defeated brave men has broken their courage and their hearts are cold, and now they would rather be hacked to death by Zhang Yuliang's own soldiers than dare to turn back and fight to the death with the horse team of the red thief.
In the minds of any infantryman, the cavalry is so terrible, not to mention that in this kind of pursuit battle now, the power of the cavalry can be exerted several times, so Zhang Yuliang's personal soldiers are soft, but the routs that are surging in front are more and more, and finally Zhang Yuliang's personal soldiers are drowned in it.
What's even worse is that these routs were still allowed to be slashed by their own soldiers at first, but then they also picked up the weapons in their hands to fight back, and immediately several pro-soldiers were cut to the ground, and the remaining pro-soldiers saw this situation, and they did not dare to supervise the battle anymore, they shouted repeatedly: "Shenrong, let's withdraw, let's withdraw!" I can't stand it!"
Zhang Yuliang smiled bitterly, but took off his top and hesitated, but shouted loudly: "Go back to Pujiang, let's go back to Pujiang!"
In the current situation of the defeat of the army, there is no way to change Xiang Rong to come in person, not to mention that he Zhang Yuliang is just a general, and he is not a top general in the Jiangnan battalion.
He summed up today's battle, but he regretted that in order to piece together the number of people, he pulled the rout, the foot archers, and the earth warriors into his team, and it turned out that this group of people was the first to go up to grab the spoils of war, and they were the first to be defeated.
"Liu Jiehu, you wait! It's me Zhang Yuliang who was defeated in your hands, and there are many famous generals in our Jiangnan camp, Deng Shaoliang, Qin Ruhu, the three brothers of the Zhou family, and ......"
It's just that the situation in front of them is getting worse and worse, originally foreign guns and foreign cannons were regarded as treasures by Zhang Yuliang's subordinates, but now they are throwing foreign guns all over the ground, hoping that the red thieves will stop collecting the loot when they see the foreign guns and stop pursuing.
But now the cadres of the Panshi Battalion and the 3rd Independent Battalion are shouting: "Don't stop, don't stop!" Is it any wonder that he has to be killed back to the *door? The scene of the Qing army packing up and snatching the spoils of war at the * gate and crushing for thousands of miles is still engraved in the minds of the officers and soldiers, so everyone immediately sobered up: "Go back and pack up the loot, and then catch up first!"
And Liu Chang, who was far away, personally rode a horse to catch up with Sun Huzi and his Panshi Battalion Headquarters, Sun Huzi laughed loudly: "Check! You've done a good job with this horse pistol, and you're killing hard!"
Liu Chang told him: "Let the troops pay attention to the rhythm of the pursuit, don't let Zhang Yuliang come back to his senses, and organize people to kill us one of them!"
Sun Huzi had already understood: "I will immediately inform the 3rd Independent Battalion, there is no problem on the side of the Panshi Battalion!" By the way, check, look at the scene in front of you, what kind of description should it be!"
Liu Chang had already thought of the honorary title of an infantry division of the People's Liberation Army, and laughed: "This is a fierce tiger pounceing on a flock of sheep!"
"That's right, it's the tiger pounces on the sheep!"
* Gate distance from Pujiang. The county seat is less than thirty miles, but such a short distance, the Qing army only took an hour to arrive, but now Zhang Yuliang has been able to contain some soldiers, although less than three hundred, but they are all veterans of the Jiangnan battalion, and there are dozens of foreign guns in their hands, he immediately said: "Brothers, it's Zhang Yuliang I'm sorry for you!" I'm a bastard, the command is too weak, I'm sorry brothers! But the red thief chased him from the * gate to the foot of Pujiang City, and it was a good time for us to kill him!"
This made these outlaws feel moved again, that's right, the tactic of returning to the horse pistol, the red thief can use it, but the Jiangnan battalion is also commonly used, so these soldiers all said: "But we work hard for Shenrong, whether it succeeds or not, Shenrong has to be interesting!"
"Good!" Zhang Yuliang is also happy: "I will take four thousand taels of silver out, this is the blood of soldiers I usually drink, and now I will return it to my brothers!"
It's just that Zhang Yuliang's counterattack came too late, and soon the news came that the red thieves had retreated five miles away from Pujiang County, and they were now in charge of the front-line vigilance by the cavalry, but the infantry units behind began to disperse with the guerrillas who did not run out of the encirclement, and by the way, they also collected the spoils of war back.
As soon as he heard the news, Zhang Yuliang almost fell off his horse, but he quickly came to his senses: "Go back, go back, the four thousand taels of silver I promised you will not be less!"
and so on returned to Pujiang. The county seat, after waiting for more than an hour, finally contained all the soldiers who had dispersed, but as soon as the casualties were counted, Zhang Yuliang couldn't cry!
There were still 5,000 people in the battle this morning, but only 3,000 were able to be contained so far, thanks to the fact that the red thieves only invested two incomplete infantry battalions, and the strength was insufficient, which caused the encirclement to be too wide, and many of the guerrillas scattered and fled back.
Although there may be some people who will flee back in the future, Zhang Yuliang has never experienced such a big defeat as today after using troops for several years, and what makes him even more sad is that the 3,000 soldiers he brought from Jinling City have been folded by more than 1,000 people.
This is Zhang Yuliang's heart, the thought of losing a thousand veterans, Zhang Yuliang almost wanted to hammer the ground with his head, not to mention, in this battle, after rough statistics, 12 of the 14 foreign guns were lost, only 2 were dragged back, and 1,100 foreign guns were lost as many as 500 guns.
Such a loss really made Zhang Yuliang sad, and the whole county was already crying, and there were women everywhere who came out to find their husbands, sons and fathers.
But Zhang Yuliang didn't know that there was worse news waiting for them.
……
But the Hongjun side is in a jubilant situation, and Sun Huzi is already asking for an official number for the independent third battalion: "Check, today's battle is not like a tiger pounces on the sheep, the tiger pounces on the sheep, can you give the independent third battalion!" "That's not going to work!" Liu Chang told Sun Huzi: "This is a flock of sheep, but the performance of the independent third battalion is just a little tiger!"
Although he said it plainly, there was a word of approval in his mouth, and it was obvious that he was praising the 3rd Independent Battalion, although it was a new unit, but it was famous.
As he was talking, news had already come from there: "The Dragon Lance Battalion and the Rock Battalion have rushed over!"
The dragon lance battalion and the rock battalion marched on foot, and after a day and a night of forced marching, they finally arrived at the battlefield, Liu Chang immediately smiled: "It's good, with them, don't be afraid of Zhang Yuliang's return to the horse gun, let them be on alert!"
Sun Huzi was thinking very far: "Check, do you want to take advantage of the victory to pursue and take Pujiang. Take the county seat!"
Now retreating into Pujiang County is only Zhang Yuliang's remnants of the defeated generals, although there are many veterans and foreign guns, but they are already frightened birds, as long as Liu Chang is willing to make up his mind, he can completely annihilate Zhang Yuliang's Qing army.
Liu Chang said with relief: "Don't worry, I want to eliminate Zhang Yuliang sooner rather than later, and now they are defending the city, although Zhang Yuliang's main force has been severely damaged by me, there are still many veterans and veterans who have escaped, and they still have a certain combat effectiveness, and now is not the time to grit their teeth!" Waiting until Hangzhou and Suzhou are the key to everyone gritting their teeth, Pujiang is such a small county, we don't need to grit our teeth and insist!"
After all, although the capital of the Hongjun is a lot more now, it still has limitations after all, and it is not worth it if it hurts its vitality to capture Pujiang County, especially now that the Panshi Battalion and the Third Independent Battalion have suffered a lot of damage.
At the front, the three independent battalions had already joined up with the Nanxi battalion and the dragon lance battalion, and the officers and men of the three infantry battalions all let out a cheerful laugh, and Zheng Zhangyu shouted loudly: "Thank you to the brothers of the dragon lance battalion and the Nanxi battalion for coming over, a little gift, take it for us!"
Over there, Newton also laughed: "When will it be our turn to collect the spoils of your independent three battalions!" You've just made it up, so keep it!"
The gifts given by the Third Independent Battalion were thirty foreign guns each, all of which were spoils of war from Zhang Yuliang, but Zheng Zhangyu said: "This is not interesting enough, although the foreign guns that our Independent Third Battalion desperately handed over, although the weight is not heavy, does Battalion Commander Zhu think it is too light?" ”
As soon as he said this, Juton could only accept it: "Okay, good! Accept your gifts on behalf of the inspector and return them to you!"
At present, there are four infantry battalions and one cavalry battalion of the Hong Army in Pujiang County.
