Watching Wu Xiuming carry away Actun, who was almost fainting, Guo Xing'a began to re-observe the situation of the Taiping army. Although the cavalry company and the assault company were supplemented, the overall strength of the Qing army was still in a weak position. Moreover, although the Taiping army behind the village and on both flanks temporarily retreated, they also had to guard against another sneak attack by the Taiping army.

The troops are stretched, and the weapons are also a headache. The quality of the conscienceless cannon has always been subparable, and just now in order to deal with the offensive of the Taiping Army, Kong Zhen has already fought his character. In the future, it will not be able to be used again in any case, and the unconscionable cannon that has been fired more than five times may explode at any time. The Qing army could no longer afford the losses caused by a single bombing. There are only * of heavy weapons left, and * the rate of fire is slow and inaccurate, and it is not the opponent of the five foreign cannons of the Taiping army at all. If there were no foreign artillery for the Taiping Army, the first company just now could have achieved a complete victory. The modern army and the bayonet fighting are not comparable to the old-style army. But the Taiping army had foreign artillery, accurate foreign artillery, which turned Acton's victory into a disastrous victory.

There was still no news of the reinforcements from the Jiangnan battalion, and Guo Xing'a regretted his greed a little. If he was not reluctant to give up the opportunity for his own development, when the Taiping army attacked, Guo Xing'a would have been able to run back to the camp in Jiangnan with a large army. And now it's too late to regret it, and sticking to it is the only way out for Goxinga. Either you die, or you want to guard, if you can't keep it, there is only one way to die.

The more he thought about it, the more depressed Guo Xing'a became, and couldn't help but stop his eyes on the artillery position of the Taiping Army. There were no telescopes, and at a distance of more than a mile, people and cannons were about the size of grasshoppers, but Goxinga still found something strange. It's as if you suddenly meet a scantily clad hottie in the Arab world, and her special clothes are always eye-catching, and now Goxinga has found an eye-catching person. In the robes of the Taiping Army, Guo Xing'a found a man wearing a Western-style military uniform.

This buddy's military uniform, Guo Xing'a can't pay attention to it, it's too handsome. Ban Ban is dressed in a dark blue military uniform, much like the colonel's dress in "The Last Samurai". Standing in a group of Taiping troops wearing khaki robes, you can spot him if you pay a little attention.

Guo Xing'a didn't have time to appreciate the Western military uniform, but immediately found Han Qian to ask about the battle situation just now. When he heard that the Taiping army had given up bombarding the depth and had begun to bombard the earthen wall to cover the infantry charge, Guo Xing's back was already in a cold sweat. The landing point of the shell has changed slightly, but the meaning is much worse. Infantry artillery coordination, which can be a large number of enemy casualties with artillery, and then the infantry occupies the position. It can also be artillery to suppress enemy forces and give infantry the opportunity to fight in hand-to-hand combat. In the first case, Guo Xing'a is not worried at all, although the trench defense system is simple, but only five small cannons that still fire ** cannot be broken. But in the second case, Guo Xing'a is about to be blind. Goxinga's advantage is the overall quality of his soldiers and weapons and equipment, but his strength is his biggest shortcoming. Long-range shooting against the Qing army will definitely kill the Taiping army, but if it fights hand-to-hand with a white blade, the so-called evil tiger is difficult to defeat the wolves. Once the Taiping army slipped away from the artillery cover, a large-scale white-knuckle battle would inevitably occur, and the Taiping army could use people to kill the Qing army.

This guy in a Western-style military uniform is probably the artillery commander of the Taiping Army. It is estimated that the artillery of the Taiping Army can play so beautifully, all thanks to him. Guo Xing'a really wanted Changlu to send two snipers over and kill this eye-catching guy directly. It's a pity that it can't be done! The bare surface of the defense line at the entrance of the village did not even have a cover, and snipers could not sneak attack people at all.

Guo Xing'a is extremely painful now, he is restrained by others, and artillery is only one of the small reasons. More critically, even if the Taiping army does not use artillery, the demise of Guoxing'a is only a matter of time. In the round of war just now, he seemed to have won, but in fact he completely lost the upper hand. The Taiping Army played a series of games, and Guo Xing'a had to fall for the scheme. Sneak attack on three sides, and Guoxing'a is tight everywhere. Then, when the Qing army was scattered, it was thought that the Taiping army had discovered a general attack from other sources, and the real general attack was launched on the front. If it weren't for Acton's effective command, it is estimated that the frontal defense line would have been overcome by the Taiping army's one-by-one tactics. Although now it seems that the offensive everywhere has been repelled by the Qing army, and none of the Taiping troops on the other three sides have withdrawn. But this is also where the Taiping Army is clever, Lao Tzu doesn't leave anyone, you can't stop it.

Huang Daping dug a pit for Guo Xing'a, but Guo Xing'a looked at the pit but had to jump. Huang Daping could arbitrarily withdraw all his troops and attack the Qing army's frontal defense, but Guoxinga could only defend with one-third of his troops. In the other three directions, Huang Daping only left a very dangerous impression on Guo Xing'a. Guoxinga, who had experienced danger, did not have the courage to abandon the other three directions, and concentrated all his forces on the front and Huang Daping desperately. Guoxing's already insufficient troops were spread even thinner, and the Taiping Army's strength advantage was brought into full play.

"It's so boring to squat here waiting for the long-haired bandits to beat us! Go out and fight with Long Hair! "Coming to reinforce Dehatan whined in the trenches.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Saishan, who followed Goxinga to the front line, heard Hatan's small muttering, and turned around to scold Hatan.

"What did he just say?" Goxinga seems to have been inspired.

"It's okay, this guy just has a lot of bits and pieces!" Saishana also saw the unfavorable situation and didn't want Guoxinga to be idle again.

"No, Uncle Sai, what did Hatan say just now?" Guo Xing Acheng didn't mean to be angry, but he heard what Hatan said in a trance, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

"Say it again, Hartan!" Goxinga said directly to Hatan.

"The subordinate said, go out and fight with the long-haired bandits!" Hartan estimated that he was going to be scolded again, and said dejectedly.

"Hmm!" Goxinga nodded and said nothing.

Guoxinga's current situation is like the Chinese men's football team against the Cambodian women's football team, it is impossible to defend it, and fighting is not a choice. Huo Quzhi and Li Ling are both famous generals, but the results are very different. When there were not many troops, Huo Qubing had been chasing the Huns to fight, how to fight and how to win. Li Ling was surrounded and beaten by the Huns, killing tens of thousands of people, and finally finished the game himself. The initiative on the battlefield is very important! Huo Qubing is the attacker, the initiative on the battlefield is in hand, he can fight if he wants, and he can come and go freely if he doesn't want to fight. Li Ling was the defender, and he had to fight if he wanted to, and in the end he was consumed to death by the Huns.

Guoxing's current situation is similar to Li Ling's, which is equivalent to being blocked by the Taiping army. The Taiping Army fought whenever it wanted, and fought there whenever it wanted. And Guoxinga can only defend, and must defend comprehensively, that is, the legendary Xiaoshou, no matter how the Taiping army fights him, he can only passively suffer. It's not that Guo Xing'a didn't think about breaking through before, but Guo Xing'a's thoughts are more like escaping. Hatan suddenly mentioned that he had spelled, and Goxinga seemed to understand something. Let's fight a field battle! Let's concentrate our forces for a showdown! If you want to break through, break through from the front.

When Guo Xing'a discussed his idea with the staff officers, Xiande was a little hesitant, but Guiwu and Saishan'a were supportive. However, Saishana still has conditions, that is, he can't go to Goxinga.

"Uncle Sai, where do you say I am safest!" In the face of the brave and loyal Saishan, Goxinga has only all kinds of helplessness.

"Naturally, adults should sit firmly in the command of the Chinese army!" Saishan'a guessed that Goxinga was going to sophistry again, and replied with a straight look.

"The soldiers are all killed, I am left alone behind, what if the Taiping army sneaks up from behind? It's not like I'm alone in the village! "Guo Xinga doesn't want to be a hero, but he doesn't want to stay in the rear.

"What do you want, sir?" Although Saishana still didn't want to, he also felt that what Guo Xinga said made some sense.

"Once there is a counterattack, our army will inevitably attack with all of us, and I think it is safer to be protected by a few hundred people, so I personally command the counterattack. Rest assured, I am commanding the counterattack, not taking the lead in the charge. Although Goxing's words were dry, his eyes looked at Cezanne sincerely.

"It's good! But the lower officials have to be by the side of adults! Saishana felt that he was watching from his side, and Guo Xing'a couldn't play any big tricks.

"Fuquan, order the second and third companies to assemble at the entrance of the village, each company will be organized according to the formation, and the cavalry will get on the horse and prepare for a counterattack!" Guo Xing'a nodded to Saishan'a, and then ordered Fuquan to send orders to prepare for battle.

"Zhang Yi, tell Xishou's handyman team to retreat to the cellar with the wounded and try to hide as much as possible!" Second-line personnel and the wounded do not need to participate in the war, and the core of the village cannot be completely left alone. The handyman team stayed just enough to take care of the wounded and watch over the family in the cellar.

When Fuquan and Zhang Yi ran to deliver the order, the Taiping army on the opposite side had also been busy, the musket phalanx was rearranging in formation, and the ordinary infantry was also grouped to prepare for the next round of offensive.

"The Taiping army is about to launch a new offensive, so we will take advantage of their offensive to hit them with a counter-charge." After Mu Shun, Feng Sheng'a, and the two company commanders rushed over with their teams, Guo Xing'a held a pre-battle meeting for the platoon commanders of each company to determine the way to fight the counterattack.

"For a while, the artillery should not carry out long-range suppression, and let the Taiping army enter the position for 100 meters. Then the infantry battalion used a volley to break the Taiping army's forward, and if it could not be defeated, it would also disrupt their position. After the Taiping army's offensive was frustrated, the whole army launched a counterattack at my command. The assault company hit the front, the infantry battalion was all bayonet as the second echelon, and the cavalry was behind. The reconnaissance platoon used the rout of the Taiping Army as a cover, approached the artillery position of the Taiping Army, and defeated the artillery of the Taiping Army at all costs. As soon as the artillery of the Taiping army was dumbfounded, the cavalry company immediately launched an assault from both flanks, and the assault company and the infantry battalion launched a general attack with their bayonets and crushed them in one go. Do you have any opinions? Goxinga said all his plans in one breath.

The officers didn't speak, and their breathing was a little short, but when Goxinga's gaze swept over, everyone nodded firmly.

"Good! Life and death are at stake. Ladies and gentlemen! Please! "Goxinga made a circle to the people.

"Huh!" All the people bowed down at the same time.

The officers returned to their units, and as soon as the cavalry company overwhelmed the horses to avoid the shelling, a new offensive of the Taiping army began. The Taiping army still chose artillery cover, and the artillery was aimed at the earthen wall, which was already riddled with holes, and was collapsed by artillery in many places. However, some shells miscalculated the angle and flew over the earthen wall. When Guo Xing'a saw that the Taiping army had approached 80 meters, another house in the village was blown up.

In the sound of the bricks and tiles colliding with the collapsed houses, Guo Xing'a gritted his teeth and shouted, "Hit!" ”。

Three infantry companies and assault companies fired a salvo at the same time, and more than 300 Minnese lead bullets and more than 100 lead sand were fired at the Taiping army at the same time, and the advance of the Taiping army was immediately covered with a bloody storm. Skulls blown off by lead bullets, broken arms, scattered in the crowd. The chests of the sturdy warriors flashed with large balls of blood. There are even more people who were hit, all over their bodies were broken flesh and blood, and their skin was tattered and covered in blood, rolling on the ground and wailing.

"It's time!" Guo Xing'a, whose heart was beating wildly and his thigh muscles were twitching, said to himself silently in his heart. Untied the heavy cotton armor on his body, took off his close-fitting coat, Guo Xing'a was shirtless, and pulled out the Yanling knife.

The Qing army, who was loading ammunition, suddenly saw their leader, shirtless, with a goose sword in one hand and a goose sword in the other, standing on the trench like a statue.

Saishan, who had been following, looked at the bloody heroic Guo Xing'a, almost died of anger, and stretched out his hand to pull Guo Xing'a back into the trench. Unfortunately, as soon as his hand touched Goxinga's trouser leg, the soles of Goxinga's shoes had already kicked him in the face.

"Life and death are in this battle, brothers and Lao Tzu!" Goxinga, who kicked away Saishan'a, stood on the trench and brandished the Yanling knife in his hand.

"Heavenly ...... Long live Your Majesty! "Guo Xing'a, who has played too much of Call of Duty, thinks about what he has to shout to cheer up when he charges. However, as soon as "Call of Duty" flashed in his mind, the terrifying Japanese devils flashed, and Goxinga almost shouted "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" ”。 Temporarily closed his mouth, and swallowed the word emperor back.

"Hooray!" As Goxinga ran forward, the Qing army shouted "Long live" and raised the rifle in his hand and jumped out of the trench at the same time.
