Chapter 34: Mu Daxia

At this time, the person who came to report the news was actually Han Yu, who was supposed to be by Saishan's side, which can only show that Mu Shun didn't even have time to send someone who asked for help.

"Why are you here, Mu Shun's people?" Guo Xinga asked worriedly.

"No one came over from Camp Commander Mu, and when Lord Sai inspected, he found that the cavalry company had already gone up, so he sent a servant to report the news." Han Yu replied.

Guo Xing took a breath of cold air, whether Mu Shun was at ease or was raided, he couldn't even report the news. If you don't even need to ask for help, then there are only two possibilities, either the enemy is too weak and doesn't need it, or the enemy is too strong to ask for help.

"Fuquan, you take the guard squad, the miscellaneous team and the reconnaissance platoon, and go to the small temple to set up a deep defense line! If Mu Shun is defeated, try to take everyone down. The small temple is the last line of defense, if the village is lost, death will not allow the Taiping army to cross the small temple defense line! "Goxinga decided to deploy for the worst.

"Master!" Fuquan pulled Guo Xing's sleeve tightly.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'll be there later, before I arrive, under the command of Sezanne!" Guo Xing'a pushed Fuquan away.

"Don't go yet!" Seeing that Fu Quan was staring at himself and unwilling to leave, Guo Xing'a had to scold again.

"Huh! The minion will bring someone back to pick you up in a moment! "Fu Quan is not reluctant.

"Go!" Guo Xinga said impatiently.

Fu Quangang, who was extremely reluctant, turned to leave, and the Taiping army finally held back their manpower like a big move, and launched a close-range charge at a distance of about thirty meters.

“*!” Tuha, who had been promoted to platoon commander, hurriedly shouted.

When the second company threw the first wave*, Mu Shun was wiping the blood stains on the saber while cautiously inspecting every inch of land in front of him. The Taiping surprise attack came so suddenly that the Qing army was almost defenseless. When the battle on both flanks of the village began, everyone's attention was drawn to it, including the cavalry company. In front of the village back line they were responsible for defending, there was not a single enemy. Most of them were waiting for orders to go to the rest of the line.

But just as everyone looked back at the village, the Taiping army approached them with a disguise of blades of grass. Almost everyone did not expect that the Taiping army would attack behind the village. Surround three and Que one, this is the side of Que, which is the route left for the Qing army to flee after the other defense lines are broken through. There may be ambushes on the way, but who will attack here? Everyone thought so, but the Taiping army came. Under the cover of weeds and trees, the disguised Taiping army touched up. When the Taipings were discovered, they were less than ten meters away from the defensive line. The Taiping army, which was not equipped with muskets and only swords and spears, suddenly appeared in front of them.

The cavalry company's first battle against the Taiping army was fought in its own trenches. Although the cavalry company was also equipped with a melee-friendly *, everything was too sudden. After a burst of gunfire, the Taiping army raised its spears and swords, and the cavalry company showed off its long-honed saber. Although the cavalry company has no war horses, but under Mu Shun's own hands*, the cavalry company's white-knuckle combat ability is definitely the best among the leaders, and Mu Daxia is by no means in vain.

Hundreds of Taiping soldiers rushed into the trenches, and the battle was fierce from the beginning, with no shouts, only dying wails. There was no gunfire, only the crunch of blades intersecting. It was less than three minutes, but Mu Shun was as long as a year. When the enemy was driven out of the trenches, Mu Shun could barely hold the saber in his hand.

In order to strengthen the protective capacity of the assault battalion, Goxinga gave all the armor of the entire commander to the assault battalion. The cavalry company and the assault company are all blue cotton armor, which is a treatment that even the guard squad does not have. In addition to high-ranking officers such as Guo Xing'a and the staff officers, even Fengsheng'a fought in cloth clothes. In the past, Mu Shun didn't care about the armor, and after coming into contact with the musket, Guo Xing'a often said that the armor was outdated. But now Mu Shun was glad that he and his subordinates, each of them was wearing a suit of armor. In three minutes of bloody fighting, more than thirty people fell in the cavalry company. But thanks to their armor, no one died. And in the near future, these people who were carried away by the medic will be able to return to galloping on horseback.

Although the Taiping army retreated, Mu Shun knew that they were still nearby. The Taipings, who had been driven out of the trenches, quickly disappeared into the weeds, as if they were a group of ghosts. The Taipings' first offensive was just a test to brew the next offensive.

"Helab, go get some oil from the chores!" Mu Shun hated this kind of battle where he couldn't see the enemy.

"Huh!" Shelab never seemed to have an expression.

The soldiers of the cavalry company reloaded their * with ammunition. Some smart people also kept the wounded comrades' * at hand. Because of the relationship between weight and ignition, cavalry rarely used it*. But now, the trenches are full of *, and many people are holding guns in one hand and * in the other. Everyone's eyes were nervously searching the weeds. For fear that another wave of enemies will come out of the grass.

"Go down the slope, pour the oil down, and burn this to the ground, and I'll see where they can hide!" Seeing that Xilabh and the people of the miscellaneous team came back with a few barrels of oil, Mu Shun ordered directly.

The oil will flow to the grass when poured there, which was not easy to find, but now it is easy to find. A battle between the Taiping army and the cavalry company near the defensive line was covered with blood. On the land that is not dry, blood flows down the slope, leaving many thin red lines on the dirt slope. Barrels of fire oil slowly flowed into the grass along the marks left by the blood. With the torches thrown by Shirab, the green grass and green trees instantly turned into a sea of fire. Through the smoke and dust, you can see a figure running out in the distance, and you can see a figure in the distance twisting in the flames.

Weeds that contain a lot of water have no way to burn again after the fire oil is exhausted. The flames went out and the smoke cleared. In the afterglow of the heat wave, the cavalry company and the Taiping army looked at each other with red eyes. The distance between the two sides was no more than 100 meters, and in the middle was a charred black ash. The Taiping army had about 200 men, and the cavalry company had less than 100 men. The cavalrymen in blue cotton armor and the Taiping army in cloth looked at each other silently. From time to time, noisy voices came from the Taiping army, which seemed to be cursing the Qing army, and it seemed that there was a dispute within themselves.

Mu Shun drew his saber again, and slowly walked out of the trench under the stunned gaze of Shirab. Xilab didn't know if Mu Shun was scolded by the Taiping Army, or if he was sick again, but now is really not the time to be a hero. Although Shirab did not agree with Mushun's approach, he still drew his saber and followed. One by one, the horsemen drew their sabers and followed behind their commander. The Taiping army also looked at the cavalry in astonishment, unable to understand why the small number of Qing troops left the defensive line.

Mu Shun walked through with a solemn expression, and there was still residual warmth, and it had turned into a charred black grass. The pace is slow but steady, and it seems that it is not going to the enemy, but to the fate of one's own choice. It wasn't until he was about ten meters away from the Taiping Army that Mu Shun stopped. The cavalry, led by Shirab, formed an arrow-shaped formation behind him, and Mu Shun was the arrow.

Looking at the Qing army, which did not charge, standing opposite them as if they were gang negotiating, the Taiping army was a little overwhelmed. I have the intention to charge and fight, but I am also worried about what tricks the Qing army is doing.

"Mu Shun, commander of the 11th Zuoling Assault Battalion of the Eight Banners of the Great Qing Gu'an Garrison with Blue Flags, please advise!" Mu Shun hugged the knife and arched his hand.

If it was Guo Xing'a or a civilian-born orthodox soldier on the other side, he would definitely be asked by Mu Shun at this time. The two armies fought to the death, and there was no competition between the soldiers, and you came out to report to the house and "please advise" is a few meanings. Fortunately, the commander of the Taiping Army who led the army was born in the Heaven and Earth Society, and he knew some rules of the rivers and lakes.

"Heavenly Soldier Brigade Marshal Miao Hansheng, please!" Miao Hansheng also hugged his fists and replied, his answer was not as beautiful as Mu Shun said. But he can't help it, the number of the rivers and lakes must be extremely meticulous, such as "Hongmen Tianbao Mountain Sincere Heart Sect Blue Blood Hall Master Wang Laosi". The Eight Banners of the Qing soldiers are similar to this kind of Jianghu Tangkou, so what Mu Shun said is extremely smooth. Miao Hansheng is unlucky, the current establishment of the Taiping Army is very chaotic, they are just a division, how can they have any troop number, and they can't report to him in the past Heaven and Earth Society. Miao Hansheng also held back for a long time, and held back a "heavenly soldier brigade commander".

If Guo Xing'a sees this scene, needless to say, he will definitely systematically train Mu Shun in the theory of soldiers. By the way, pull out the eighteen generations of Mu Shun's ancestors and greet them one by one. This meeting is no longer a battle, but a negotiation between two Jianghu sects. The eldest brother on both sides is making the cut, and the younger brothers are drying the horses on both sides. In the psychology of fighting in groups, the soldiers on both sides did not spread out to find favorable terrain or outflank the enemy. Instead, they all gathered tightly, as if they wanted to show that there were many people on their side.

Mu Shun didn't explain any more words, and the word "please" came out, and the saber had stabbed Miao Hansheng in the throat. Miao Hansheng was also unambiguous, and the sword in his hand stabbed Mu Shun in the left shoulder. More than 30 moves have passed in an instant, and the Qing army and the Taiping army who are watching on both sides applaud. Mu Shun admired in his heart, this Miao Hansheng has a burly figure, but the sword in his hand is extremely smart, it is really a good swordsmanship. Miao Hansheng secretly complained, Mu Shun's sword technique was very powerful, and sometimes there would be sword techniques, which was really unpredictable. It's not easy to win on your own.

"Always ready to shoot! Pass it on! Xilab looked at the sword light and sword shadow in the field, and secretly said to the Qing army beside him.

"...... at any time"

"......" As the order circulated among the Qing army, one by one the Qing soldiers quietly put their hands on the handle of their guns.

"You stupid! There are a lot of us! Come on! Miao Hansheng made a false move, and suddenly turned around and yelled at his subordinates who were watching the excitement behind him.

The Taiping army woke up like a dream, and just drew their weapons and stepped forward. The oncoming Qing troops had all raised their *, and a deafening burst of gunfire rang out. A hot storm of iron and sand blew through the positions of the Taiping army. The distance was too close, only a distance of more than ten meters, and the Taiping army had no chance to dodge or counterattack. Like a flower in a storm, it was shattered into scattered petals.

Miao Hansheng, who was covered in blood and only had seventy or eighty wounded soldiers left, retreated into the crowd and tried to organize his subordinates again. But no one in the assault battalion was equipped with two*, and the second blow of the Qing army came, and another gust of wind blew in the face, and this time the Taiping army was still less than ten people standing. And among the remaining crowds, there is no longer Miao Hansheng. The Qing army, which had a tenfold advantage, swarmed up, and in the light and shadow of the saber weaving, the last people were also dismembered by the knife.

"Simply clean up, quickly withdraw to the defense line, beware of bandits and ambushes!" Mu Shun said to Shirab with an expressionless face.

"Battalion commander, the subordinates are also for the overall situation, and it is not easy for Lord Zuo Ling's side to fight, we can ...... it early" Shirab explained nonsense, Mu Shun, who was disrupted in the fair competition, almost fought with Guoxinga last time, and Shirab definitely needs a reasonable explanation.

"You did the right thing, it was they who broke the rules first, and I didn't choose you wrong when I chose you to be the company commander." Mu Shun patted Sheila and sermoned.

"Battalion commander......?" It was difficult for Shirab to accept such a Mushun.

"I knew you would do this, it's not easy to wipe them out all at once! We worked well together! Mu Shun smiled embarrassedly.

"Ah......" Shirab barely knew Mushun in front of him. Could it be that the whole army approached the enemy under the pretense of using the means of rivers and lakes and used the close-range lethality of * to completely annihilate the enemy army, all of which were planned by Mu Shun.

"He was the one who broke the rules, and you were the one who gave the order to shoot, and I am worthy of my heart." Mu Shun is very much like a hero with his hands behind his back.

"Yes, it was a subordinate who ordered the shooting!" Xilab suddenly agreed with the sentence "Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black", Mu Shun's shameless appearance now has the charm of a certain leader.

The cavalry company did not clean the battlefield too carefully, first, there was not much time and needed to retreat quickly, and second, the Taiping army really had nothing to clean. The cavalrymen wanted to cut off their heads, but listening to the dense gunfire coming from both flanks of the village, Mushun and Shirab still ordered a quick retreat. The corpse will not run, and it will be cut again after a while, and if the two lines are in an emergency, Guoxinga will definitely need a cavalry company.

"The rules of the rivers and lakes, inlaid with blue flags, Mu Shun, Lao Tzu fucks your uncle!" When the cavalry returned to the trenches, a burly figure covered in blood stood up from the pile of corpses of the Taiping army.
