Chapter 8 Martial Arts Master
Goxinga ordered to hold on to the small courtyard without participating in the melee. The Qing army that went to the aid already had an absolute numerical superiority, and the tired army of its own thirty-two people had nothing to do with the overall situation. Instead of going out to participate in the war, because of the lack of physical strength and casualties, it is better to stay in the courtyard and watch the play honestly.
The foreign guns of the Taiping army have also been scattered by the chaotic soldiers, and the foreign gunners who have no chance to reload have to fight each other with the Qing army around their necks and waists like everyone else. Without firepower suppression, Guoxinga can observe the battlefield relatively safely. Although there is no God's perspective, I can analyze the battlefield relatively objectively.
The military quality of the Qing army was inferior, but the Taiping army could not even detect the approach of the enemy army of more than 200 people, and it was also a rookie. However, Guo Xing'a, who was able to look at the overall situation, quickly found the root cause of the Taiping Army's melee. Horse! The Qing army did not rush by running, but on horseback, and there were a large number of scattered horses in the rear of the Qing army. The distance of five or six miles, the horse hurried to arrive in a moment. The sentry of the Taiping army did not have time to react at all, and a large force of the Qing army had already rushed into the array of the Taiping army.
However, these Qing troops did not choose to charge with cavalry, but dismounted and fought on foot. It should also be poor horsemanship, not a real cavalry, but only an infantry who can ride a horse. The Qing army rode quickly to the battlefield, then abandoned the horses, dismounted and charged. Because there was no whole team after dismounting, there was no formation, and they were scattered and fought with the Taiping army.
Guoxing Ah thought that the Qing army had a numerical advantage, and he was caught by surprise by the Taiping army, and was able to defeat the Taiping army in one fell swoop. However, the situation on the battlefield is not optimistic. The Qing army's surprise attack did disrupt the Taiping army, but as the battle unfolded, the Taiping army gradually regained its senses. The red silk fought for a while, gathered a group of dozens of people around him, stabilized his position, and began to fight back rhythmically. The Qing army, which had no formation to cooperate, was powerless to fight back in the face of the red silk squad. The red silk squad is like a greedy snake, roaming the battlefield, constantly killing the Qing army's stragglers, and at the same time pulling their own people into the team, expanding the size of the squad like a snowball.
The Qing army, on the other hand, had no command at all, and fought with personal bravery. And even so, some Taiping troops, who also fought alone, also had an advantage. Most of the Qing troops were tall and athletic. The Taiping army was thin and withered, black and thin like a big monkey. It stands to reason that if they fought alone, the Qing army should have the upper hand. But in fact, the Qing army is like an otaku who lacks exercise all year round, tall but weak and clumsy. The Taiping army is all crabs, don't look thin, buddies have muscles in their bones. Not only is it stronger than the Qing army in strength, but also skilled in martial arts. Often two Qing soldiers surrounded and beat a Taiping army, but they were chased and cut by others. Speaking from his heart, Guo Xing'a didn't want to criticize the Qing soldiers. These Taiping troops are indeed too brave, and almost all of them are not inferior to the Lion King who was regarded as a martial arts master by Guo Xing'a before. And some of them have silk on their bodies, and I don't know if they are officers of the Taiping Army, and their martial arts skills are even more amazing. When you kill people, you don't know how to be clean and neat, and every move is beautiful.
Guo Xing'a looked around the battlefield, but he didn't find any masters in the Qing army. A few of them are slightly outstanding, and they are on par with Acton, and even Hatan can't compare. There is only one exception, in the direction of the blue silk array. There is a Qing soldier wearing cotton armor, holding a big gun, dancing like a tiger, looking a bit of a master. But the posture is not very beautiful, but a little clumsy. And even this master is entangled in blue silk. The two of them shot with a knife and a gun, and they were very happy. It's like two heroes with lines in Warcraft, shuttling back and forth in the minions. While you come and go, you can also harvest the experience of the other party's creeps around you.
"Fifth master, this is an old bandit in Guangxi, too fierce. Let Changlu and Acton let you go first! "Saishana came to Goxinga's side at some point.
"Where's Hartan!" Goxinga ordered Hatan to protect Saishan, but there was no shadow of Hatan in front of him.
"I just brought a few people and killed them! Hard fight is not the way! "Sezanne was a little helpless.
Goxinga searched carefully, and indeed found Hatan's figure on the battlefield. Brave, he led five or six people to fight, like a humanoid tank, and he was unstoppable. However, the situation on the battlefield was getting worse and worse, the Taiping army was extremely brave and brave, and the red silk squad also gathered nearly forty or fifty people.
"Changlu! Look for a bold shot! "Guo Xing Ayi* smashed the floating soil on the courtyard wall and put the rifle on the courtyard wall.
"Huh!" Changlu once again stretched out his bow and arrows, and began to shoot the Taiping army that performed well on the battlefield. Feng Sheng'a also came over to make fun, although he was not as accurate as Changlu's shooting, but aiming at the probability of fighting in a place with many people also had a certain effect.
The Taiping army relied heavily on foreign guns and barely carried bows and arrows. The Qing army rushed directly into battle and did not use bows and arrows to kill the enemy. Therefore, after the Taiping Army's foreign gun team was dumbfounded, it was always close to hand-to-hand combat on the battlefield, and there was no intervention of long-range weapons. The Taiping army was also defenseless, so that Changlu and Feng Sheng'a's cold arrow battle results were very good. Several of the more brilliant Taiping soldiers were shot by cold arrows one after another.
"Beware of the Demon Cold Arrow!" Red Silk didn't expect that the small group of Qing soldiers who were pursuing and the reinforcements made the team fall into a scuffle and blamed himself. After organizing a group of people with all their might, they wanted to quickly resume the command of the team. After discovering the cold arrows of the Qing army, he hurriedly stopped his body and commanded everyone to defend, so as not to be disrupted by the Qing army again.
"Bang!" Gunfire rang out again on the battlefield, and Red Silk fell to the ground with a bullet in the right shoulder.
Because of the scuffle and killing, the red silk had already entered the range of a hundred meters in the small courtyard. Guo Xing'a's muzzle has been aiming at Red Silk, but Red Silk's body has been moving, so Guo Xing'a does not dare to pull the trigger. The moment when Red Silk swung his sword to command the defense, Goxinga seized the opportunity.
Ye Guo, a private arms criminal, often test-fired his own firearms in the wilderness. But in fact, the marksmanship can only be regarded as average, and Guo Xing'a shot several times, but he aimed for a long time before pulling the trigger. And every time he was shot, it was not the same place as what he was aiming at. Almost every time, it was aimed at the chest but the head shot, or a close-range shot of thirty or fifty meters. This time, the distance of the red silk is nearly 100 meters, and the deviation is even greater. Red Silk was shot in the right shoulder, but in fact, Goxinga was aiming at his abdomen.
After knocking out the enemy commander-in-chief, Goxinga quickly reloaded. With the cooperation of Changlu, he quickly shot and killed several officers who came forward to command the Taiping army.
"Fengsheng, Acton!" After firing more than a dozen rounds of ammunition, Guo Xing'a, whose shoulders were numb from shock, withdrew his rifle.
"Huh!" Acton walked quickly to Goxinga, and Fengsheng Ah, who was in front of him, also bowed down and obeyed.
"It's almost time to rest, you two will each take your team out. After going out, pick up the ones who are ready to fight first, gather our soldiers, and gather the people together! Got it! "Goxinga wants to copy the tactics of red silk.
"Huh! Fifth master rest assured! Both of them received orders at the same time.
The Taiping Army, which had completely lost its command, could only rely on personal bravery to fight hard. After Acton and Feng Sheng'a led their teams into battle, they quickly defeated several relatively weak Taiping troops, and each gathered a team of thirty or forty people around them. began to swim around the battlefield like the red silk snake before it, growing its own snowball. Even a few Taiping soldiers with martial arts skills could only be slaughtered in the face of dozens of people being beaten. The battlefield that followed was a replica of the midday skirmish, in which the Taiping army, which had lost its command in the face of the superior Qing army, was quickly defeated. However, the squad gathered by Red Silk before was not completely annihilated, and withdrew from the battle with the rout, and also took the wounded Red Silk with them.
"The slave is happy to be long, and he will hand over the order to this banner. Congratulations to the fifth master for his victory over the bandits! Xi Shou didn't know when he returned to the small courtyard, knelt down on one knee and handed back the Yanling knife to Guoxing'a.
"I'm back! Hard work all the way! Guo Xing'a helped Xishou with a smile on his face and took the Yanling knife. Fuquan hurriedly knelt on one knee and helped Guo Xing'a hang the Yanling knife back on his waist.
"Congratulations to the fifth master for his victory over the bandits!" Without waiting for Xishou to answer, Sai Shang A Changlu and others also bowed down to congratulate Guoxing A.
"Haha! Great work! "Goxinga, who won the battle, was in a good mood.
"Let's go! Let's go out and have a look! Guo Xing'a handed the rifle to Fuquan and walked out of the small courtyard surrounded by everyone.
The battle had come to an end, and the main force of the Taiping army was routed. There were only a few unlucky people left, who were surrounded by the Qing army and could not get out. However, these trapped beasts are still brave, although the general trend has gone, they are indeed unwilling to tie their hands and change their lives, and still fight bravely. However, they were soon chopped into meat by the brigade led by Fengsheng'a or Acton.
"Fuquan, send an order to Fengshenga and Actun, quickly clear the remnants of the enemy, and gather men. Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, then form a team and withdraw to the camp! "Although I have already had the experience of fighting once, and I have already killed several people with my own hands. But looking at the corpses on the battlefield, Guo Xing'a still had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Don't! Fifth Master! It's not over yet! "Hattan, covered in blood, ran over.
"Huh?" Looking around the battlefield, there was not a single member of the Taiping Army standing, and they looked at Hatan suspiciously.
"Back, back! There is also a hard stubble and Mu Er Ye practice alone! Hatan pointed to the back of the courtyard.
"Why didn't you go to help!" Hartan didn't go to the charge, which was even more strange than the battle was not over.
"Second Master Mu wants to practice alone, don't take me! Hehe...... "Hartan seemed embarrassed, smiling a little awkwardly, like a shy little girl.
"Fuquan, go and give orders! Let's go and have a look at the back! "Guo Xinga couldn't stand the humanoid tank-like Hatan, and he looked like a little girl twisting in front of him.
"By the way, get all the foreign guns back, be careful! Let Acton go! Come as I am, leave nothing behind, and collect whatever you can find. Guo Xing'a stopped Fu Quan, who had already run away a few steps, and specially explained that he carefully searched for the foreign guns thrown by the Taiping Army's foreign gun team on the battlefield. And he deliberately pointed to his own ammunition pouch and bayonet, and asked Acton to find it according to this standard.
Goxinga's order used a word of withdrawal, which made Hatan very uncomfortable. And he specifically mentioned Acton, and Hatan was even more unconvinced. Acton sat stupidly in the yard like an old mother until the overall situation was decided, and then he brought a large group of people out to pick peaches. But as soon as the reinforcements arrived, they fought desperately. As a result, Guoxinga still valued Acton more, and specially explained what he cared about to Actun to do, which really blew up Hatan's lungs. However, he needed to lead the way in the back, so he could only pout and lead everyone to the back to check.
At the broken wall of the back wall of the small courtyard, thirty or forty Qing soldiers formed a circle as if watching juggling. One by one, they looked inside, cheering and applauding from time to time, completely ignoring the situation around them. The Taiping army surrounded in the circle was blue silk, and they were fighting fiercely with the Qing army who had used the guns before. The two of them fought in one place, and even Guo Xing'a, who didn't know much about martial arts, could see that this was a master's move.
The single knife of the blue silk flew up and down, almost dancing a curtain of light around him. Moreover, surrounded by enemy troops, the momentum is steady, the advance and retreat are measured, and the rules are not chaotic. The big gun in the hands of the Mianjia Qing army seemed to be alive, like a strange python rolling around the blue silk. When fighting against the Lion King to the death, Guo Xing'a once analyzed the problem of martial arts masters, who need superhuman strength and unusual reaction speed. At that time, Guo Xinga thought that it was only theoretically possible, and that it could never be done by normal people. But at this moment, the two people in front of them did it. Guo Xing'a couldn't help but sigh secretly, China has miraculous skills!
"Let's go up and chop him!" The single knife in the hand of the blue silk made Guo Xing'a feel inexplicable fear.
"Slow! Fifth Master, Second Master Mu specially explained, don't let everyone interfere! You have to fight alone and share with this kid! Hatan hurriedly stopped. Most of the people in the Goxinga search team went to clean up the battlefield with Fengshenga and Acton. Most of the Qing troops around him were the men and horses who led the team, and although they knew Guoxinga, they were not suitable for accepting Guoxinga's orders. They were all busy watching the excitement and didn't step forward to do anything.
"Fight alone, your uncle! This is the battlefield, this is the war, you give me a single fight. Will I help you set up the ring? Hatan's words made Guo Xinga roll his eyes in anger.
"Changlu, shoot him for me!" Goxinga's rifle was carried by Fuquan and was not by his side. And even if he had a rifle in hand, Goxinga might not dare to shoot. The two moved too fast in the fierce fight, and Guo Xing'a was not sure not to injure his own people by mistake. It just so happened that Changlu had been by his side, so he let Changlu do it. Saishan'a encouraged himself to run away several times, and suggested that the people who protected him had Changlu in their hands, which shows that everyone agrees with Changlu's archery skills. In the battle just now, Changlu shot and killed many Taiping Army officers, and he was indeed good at archery.
"Huh!" Guo Xing'a was young, and at first everyone respected Guo Xing'a only because of his identity, and he would not really obey Guo Xing's military orders. But in the deserted village, Guo Xing'a alone killed six bandits and proved his bravery. At noon and in the battle just now, he commanded again. At the critical juncture, the leaders of the enemy army were continuously sniped, so that the situation turned from dangerous to safe, and everyone was even more convinced. In the Guoxinga search team of more than 30 people, Guoxinga has established its own prestige. Therefore, Changlu did not hesitate when he heard the order, and opened his bow and arrows to the blue silk is an arrow.
The blue silk and the Mianjia Qing army have comparable martial arts, and the fierce battle for a long time is also indistinguishable from victory. After the defeat of the main force of the Taiping Army, the mentality of the blue silk was greatly affected. has taken a defensive position, while dismantling the Mianjia Qing army, while thinking about a plan to get out. At this moment, Changlu shot an arrow in his chest. Blue Silk is worthy of being a martial arts master, and he has been able to see and listen to all directions. Changlu followed Guo Xing'a's side, only more than ten meters away from the blue silk, and the strong bow and heavy arrows could be said to be instantaneous. The blue silk was between the lightning and flint, and a harrier rolled over to avoid the fatal blow. And the knife went with him, swinging the spear stabbed by the Mianjia Qing army in mid-air.
It's a pity that the blue silk has not yet stood firm when it landed, and the Mianjia Qing army has already stabbed back with a horse pistol. The blue silk with the door wide open could not be avoided, and the spear passed through his chest, and he fell to his knees. I tried to struggle for a while, but in vain, my body fell into the dust.
"Good!" The surrounding Qing troops cheered loudly.
The Mianjia Qing army drew the spear in the corpse, but was silent for a long time.
"Changlu, you did a good job!" The Mianjia Qing army suddenly shouted loudly and rushed towards Changlu.
"Second Master Mu, Zuo Ling has an order! Don't blame me! Changlu retreated again and again.
"Leader, which leader!" The Mianjia Qing army was hugged by Hatan, and he couldn't catch Changlu, so he shouted and asked.
"It's me! Hehe! Second Master Mu, I made him! Guo Xing'a stopped in front of Changlu.
"Fifth Master?" The Mianjia Qing army glared at Guo Xing'a.
"It's me, I've been wounded in the head by a foreign gun, and I've lost my memory! You are Mu ......" Guoxing Ake didn't want to tear his face with a martial arts master when he didn't have a gun, and hurriedly changed the topic.
"The subordinate flag is under the leadership of the commissioning school Mu Shun, please say hello to the fifth master! Hum! Mu Shun shook off Hatan and gave Guoxing a thousand salutes, humming and chirping, not very convinced.
"Say hello to the fifth master!" The surrounding Qing troops seemed to have just seen Guo Xing'a, and followed Mu Shun to give Guo Xing'a a thousand salutes.
"Huh! A big battle, all of you, have worked hard! Acton and Fengsheng are already cleaning up the battlefield, so let's pack up and get ready to go back to camp! "Goxinga doesn't want to dwell on it anymore.
"Fifth Master, why did you let Changlu release the arrow!" Mu Shun still held on.
"I want to kill him!" Guoxing's temper, whose subordinates have reached double digits, is also good.
"The husband competes in martial arts, and he must be upright. What kind of hero is a sudden cold arrow! This man, although he is a bandit. But his kung fu was quite good, so he lost his life. He's wronged! Mu Shun's eyes were red, and he almost grabbed Guo Xing's neck and reasoned with him. The surrounding soldiers were all motionless, staring at how the new leader answered.
"Mu Er, how can you talk to the fifth master! You don't ......" Saishana stepped forward to scold Mu Shun, but was stopped by Guo Xing'a raising his hand.
"You think he died unjustly!" Guo Xing'a, who had a temper, leaned his face closer and looked at Mu Shun.
"That's right, the martial arts competition, the fifth master, you suddenly cast cold arrows, it wasn't the husband's doing, this man died unjustly!" Mu Shun, who turned the tip of the horns, didn't even mention Changlu, and directly faced Guoxing.
"You remember two things for me! First, this is not a competition, this is a battlefield, a battlefield of life and death. Second, you! I! He! They are all soldiers, and no matter how a soldier dies on the battlefield, he is not wronged! Guo Xing'a pressed against Mu Shun's face and stretched out two fingers.
"Battlefield ......" Mu Shun was still angry, but he didn't know what to say when he was said by words like Goxing'a battlefield soldiers.
"Remember that you are an officer of the country, not a ranger! This is the battlefield where you kill the enemy, not the place where you compete! Go back and think about it, figure it out, and see me again! Now, take these people as a team, clean up the battlefield, and get ready to return to the station! After Guo Xing'a finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving only Mu Shun and the others with a chic and deep back.
Mu Shun looked at Guo Xing'a's back in a daze, and Guo Xing'a, who gradually calmed down, was also in a cold sweat. Guo Xing'a, who had committed a donkey's temper, only hardened for a short moment before he thought of a terrible question. What if Mu Shun goes berserk? Martial arts master!
