The topic of forty infantry companies was the hottest topic of conversation among officers and soldiers, even after the parade.

Some people even counted them one by one and found that although the Rainbow Army did not have 40 infantry companies now, if you count the artillery, cavalry, baggage, engineer and health companies, and battalion companies, it would have exceeded 40 companies long ago.

Even if it is an infantry company, there should be thirty infantry companies now, and it is easy to break the record of forty companies: "How can ten infantry companies be enough to enter Jinhua Mansion?" There is one regiment in Jinhua and one regiment in Chuzhou, why do you need two regiments? ”

"More than that!" Lu Ziyun is also very enthusiastic about this topic: "There are more than two regiments, the Qing Demon Green Battalion has 5,000 soldiers, how can two infantry regiments be enough, I estimate that the three infantry regiments are about the same!" ”

"Three infantry regiments?" Huo Qiu was particularly enthusiastic about this topic: "Then that means that our Nanxi regiment has to be expanded into five battalions!" ”

Although the Nanxi Regiment is nominally an infantry regiment, it is only a small regiment of two infantry battalions, and not only has the subordinate relationship of the teaching battalion been lifted, but also the two newly expanded fourth infantry companies have also remained in Taizhou to join the mixed battalion.

"Five battalions are definitely more than that!" Yun Tianzong was also very enthusiastic: "I estimate that the Dragon Lance Regiment will be upgraded for the first time this time, and whether our Nanxi Regiment can seize the opportunity depends on our performance!" ”

Huo Qiu immediately smiled: "With you Nanxi Shuangyun, I can rest assured, what we want to fight for is whether this is a question of whether to upgrade or not, but whether we can be ahead of the Dragon Lance Regiment this time?" ”

Whether it was promoted to a battalion, a regiment, or the dragon spear regiment took the first step, the Nanxi regiment followed, but Huo Qiu felt that this westward expedition might be able to break this spell: "The inspection point said, whoever is the first to enter Jinhua Mansion will be given a number!" ”

As soon as Yun Tianzong heard this, he moved: "Really? Then it's absolutely no problem for us to fight Jinhua Mansion in Nanxi! ”

And within the Dragon Lance Regiment, there is also such a sentiment: "Our Dragon Lance Regiment is the first Dragon Lance Regiment, never forget this historical tradition, if a new regiment is allowed to steal our honor this time, then how can we be worthy of so many good brothers who died......

Once again, two infantry regiments began a competition.

……

The momentum of the five thousand rainbow army can be described as magnificent, plus the thousands of masters who accompanied it, the team opened a radius of more than ten miles, even though the scorching sun was in the sky, but the momentum of the rainbow army was enough to pierce the sky.

Liu Chang rode on his war horse, wiping a handful of sweat from time to time, and Shi Tinglan and Yang Changmei behind him were also a little unbearable by the sun, but they didn't back down.

They know that they are already a privileged class, and being able to ride on war horses is already a treatment that ordinary officers and soldiers cannot match, and if they complain, they can only wait until they conquer Jinhua Mansion.

It's just that Jinhua Mansion is not easy to fight, if you take Taizhou Mansion and then take Jinhua Mansion, this will cost He Guiqing's old life, and He Guiqing will definitely mobilize troops to fight as much as possible.

Liu Chang immediately asked, "How is the mood of the troops?" Would you like to take a break? ”

"It's cool!" A small officer below replied to him: "It's cool, wait until you reach Yongkang County and then rest!" "No

"That's right! Hit Yongkang County and rest again! ”

The mood of the officers and soldiers was good, and Liu Chang also smiled: "What's your name?" When did you enlist? ”

"Ye Mengchu, when I fought Chen Shizhong, I took Xiangyong to join the team together, and the commander of the cavalry battalion Zhou saw that I was doing well, so he recommended me to the dragon spear regiment!"

Now Ye Mengchu, the small leader of the regiment who rebelled before the battle, has become a deputy platoon commander of the Dragon Lance Regiment, and he told Liu Chang: "Don't worry, we won't be tired before we take Jinhua Mansion!" ”…,

As he was talking, one or two sporadic gunshots had already sounded in front of him, and the mood of the troops was ignited at once, even if they were sweating like rain, they rushed over one after another.

Bad news came from a short time ago, it was just a dozen Qing demons guarding the flood, which had been neatly solved by the troops in front.

But the mood of the troops was very high, and they all shouted at Liu Chang: "Break Jinhua Mansion, we don't have to stop and rest!" ”

"Jinhua Mansion?"

Shi Tinglan thought about this place name, from Jinhua Mansion to the west, it is Quzhou Mansion, and now there is a Taiping army trying to besiege Quzhou City, if Liu Chang can take Jinhua Mansion, then he can join forces with the Taiping army over there.

But is it a good thing to be united? She secretly glanced at Liu Chang riding in front, that was a handsome and unparalleled young general, among the Taiping Army, no, there should be no one in the Kingdom of Heaven who could have such a charm as him.

If Jinhua Mansion is defeated, after that division, the conflict between the Taiping Army and the Hong Army is probably inevitable! So he hesitated for a long time before pointing out to Liu Chang that entering Ningbo Mansion was not the most advantageous choice.

But entering Jinhua Mansion is the best choice for Liu Chang, but it may not be the best choice for Heaven, between her brother, Heaven and this villain, she temporarily chose Liu Chang.

It's just that the next time she chooses, who will she choose?

She sighed faintly.

It's just that she just sighed, and good news came from the front: "Check, check!" Commander Zhou of the cavalry battalion has already conquered Yongkang County with light cavalry! ”

When did it become so easy to capture a county seat, the infantry had not yet come up, Zhou Xiuying had already conquered Yongkang County with light cavalry, no matter how few defenders in Yongkang County were, how could there be hundreds of brave and foot archers? Just these hundreds of people, they didn't even stop Zhou Xiuying for a moment?

Although the cavalry battalion has now expanded to more than 190 cavalry in three cavalry companies, it still has to undertake tactical search tasks in multiple directions, and Zhou Xiuying has at most 100 cavalry with him.

It's just that the news that came next confirmed the news that Zhou Xiuying had captured Yongkang County, Zhou Xiuying only brought eighty horsemen with him, but there were as many as 400 prisoners they caught, and Yongkang Zhixian had hanged himself.

Strictly speaking, it is the responsibility of Yongkang Zhixian to defend the land, but he did not dare to resist the red tide in front of him, as soon as he saw the cavalry to the city, he could only hang himself, as soon as he died, the whole city became a pot of porridge, Zhou Xiuying's horse team galloped all the way into Yongkang County, and the soldiers did not dare to resist, and they knelt on the ground and surrendered.

This is completely different from the strength of Taizhou's resistance, the question is, Jinhua is also a place where strong troops have been produced, how can it be so weak.

In the next two days, the offensive of the entire army was like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and the Panshi battalion on the northern front reported that after a skirmish, it easily captured Dongyang County, and then the cavalry battalion once again recovered Wuyi County.

Zhou Xiuying's eye-catching performance led to a red eye from each infantry battalion, and if he continued to fight like this, he would not need infantry to solve the battle, and Zhou Xiuying's less than two hundred cavalry alone would be able to take down the entire Jinhua Mansion.

It's just that it can't go smoothly like this, and the Niudao battalion in the south of the state capital soon reported an unexpected news, according to intelligence, a large number of Qing troops have entered the state border from Fujian and are about to march north.

As for the commander of this Qing army, it has been figured out that it is Rao Tingxuan, the chief soldier of Zhangzhou Town, Fujian, who is a famous general and has made great achievements in the battle with the Gannan Knife Society.

The size of this Qing army is unknown, but there are at least 2,000 people, and they are also equipped with a lot of foreign guns, but this intelligence jī has the fighting spirit of the Niudao battalion: "From the state side, our Niudao battalion will fight!" You can't do without the foreign guns that are sent to the door! ”…,

……

Chuzhou, Yeosu.

Lishui County is the first county in the entire prefecture, so it is quite prosperous, and there is also Lishui Camp directly under the jurisdiction of Chuzhou Town.

Today, an officer who has made outstanding military exploits is here to preach his military exploits to the Lishui camp: "You must know how many red thieves are coming? Saying it scares you to death, a total of 88,000, a total of 126 battalions of 17 regiments, 40 miles deep, densely packed, all red thieves! ”

"At that time, there were only six hundred and forty people who came to the aid of Jinyun with me!" General Wu Hongchuan said so much that his saliva spurted out: "I only have six hundred and four ten, together with the Jinyun garrison, it is only one thousand and one thousand, and there are eighty thousand thieves, how can it be good!" ”

"I fired a red-coated cannon to bombard the red thief, the thief horse team was caught off guard by more than a thousand, I killed three or four hundred, I was furious, immediately with the new thief as the leader, the old thief in the array, cascading, although I was a little timid, but I personally went to the head of Jinyun City, the guns were fired, and the stones were slammed ......"

Every time Wu Hongchuan said that he had broken the red thieves under Jinyun City, the strength of the red thieves would be doubled, and at first he only said that the red thieves were three thousand, and in only two or three months, the number of red thieves had skyrocketed to eighty thousand.

As long as he preaches a few more times, presumably the red thieves who were defeated by him under Jinyun City will definitely be able to surpass Cao Cāo's army of 800,000, and now he can speak up: "The corpses of the red thieves under the city, 10,000 are strange, and those who are dragged away by him will probably exceed this number, and this battle will ......."

When he was about to speak, he heard someone galloping over: "General Wu, General Wu, 50,000 red thieves in the west, now Wukang County has been lost, and one of its cattle knife battalions has gone south from Xianju, and it is about to be in Jinyun City. ”

"Fifty thousand?" Wu Hongchuan was taken aback: "The red thieves are only based in one county in Taizhou, where did they get 50,000 thieves, and they are talking nonsense, at most there are only 5,000 people!" ”

He estimated the strength of the Hong Army very accurately, and he continued: "The Ox Knife Battalion, the one who was destroyed under Jinyun City last time, there has never been such a battalion leader! ”

Although it was the head of the new battalion, Wu Hongchuan did not dare to be careless at all, he clearly knew that in a one-on-one decisive battle, these soldiers under him would definitely lose a lot.

No, one against two will lose, but he has seen the combat effectiveness of the Rainbow Army with his own eyes, and the hundreds of soldiers and generals under his command were cleaned up by the Rainbow Army in a matter of moments, and only dozens of people escaped by himself.

However, there were people who didn't know who made a loud noise: "General Wu has broken even the one hundred and twenty-sixth battalions in Jinyun City, what are the red thieves afraid of?" ”

But Wu Hongchuan is scared to death now! ”
