When Huang Daping dispatched troops, Guo Xing'a was quietly watching him behind the earthen wall more than a mile away, and Guo Xing'a, who was a little face blind, actually recognized Huang Daping. Of course, not through the face, Guo Xing'a didn't see what Huang Daping looked like last time. It was Huang Daping's iconic blue silk turban, and Guo Xing'a was very impressed by the first commander-level opponent he faced after coming to this world.

Guo Xing'a always thought that Huang Daping was about the same level as himself, and he could have hundreds of subordinates at most, so after listening to Saishan's analysis of the situation, he didn't worry too much about Huang Daping, who left with an injury, to take revenge on him. But today Guo Xing'a regrets his negligence a little, this guy may be a high-ranking cadre. Guo Xing'a, who was shaken (invited) to help, has seen it, but it is the first time that Guo Xing'a, who has shaken (invited) 3,000 people at once, and Chen Haonan can't do it!

This time, Guo Xing'a didn't think about gambling again, and immediately sent cavalry to the Jiangnan camp for help, the regular army of the 3,000 Taiping Army, and Guo Xing'a had to break his muscles and bones if he won the war. Just like last time, abandoning the village and fleeing is easy to be surrounded by pursuers in the wilderness, and the taste of being dumplings is not pleasant. And where can you escape? It can only be the Jiangnan camp, but Guoxing Ake doesn't want to go back to the Jiangnan camp to pretend to be his grandson. Therefore, at the battlefield meeting of the defense line at the entrance of the village, without waiting for others to speak, Guo Xing'a set the tone - to wait for help. In the past, Saishan'a, Guiwu and others would definitely not agree to death, and the virtues of those people in the Jiangnan camp could still be expected? But this time, everyone still believes that there will be reinforcements, and Xiande Ke has just come back as a fortune boy in the Jiangnan camp. If you don't look at the gold and silver, the money is not spent in vain.

The stones in the pit were rescued by no one, and the little silver doll Guoxing Ake was rescued by someone, and the friendship was bought back with real money. If the little silver doll Guo Xing'a is destroyed, there will be many people who know and are interested in giving silver to the masters of the Jiangnan camp. Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, if the Taiping army destroys Guoxing'a, the middle-level officers of the Jiangnan battalion will be able to fight with the Taiping army. The high-level has other ways to make money, the soldiers have no way to make money, and the middle-level gentlemen can have a way to make money.

After determining the plan to be stubborn, Guoxinga's strategy is simple, four big words - strict defense. Since the Taiping Army, like the bandits last time, they all like to be just frontal. There was no need to dilute the strength of Guoxing'a, the first and second companies of the infantry battalion all entered the defense line at the entrance of the village, and the third company defended the remaining three sides, mainly on alert. Guo Xing'a is not worried that the Taiping army will make a feint and sneak attack in other directions, there is not even a tree around the village, you can still come invisible! As long as there is a large number of personnel in other directions, the second and third companies can immediately adjust to the past. Guo Xinga doesn't believe that you run the outer circle outside the village, but I run the inner circle in the village, and you can still run faster than me. Moreover, Goxinga also has an entire assault battalion as a reserve, and the cavalry can also dismount and fight, and both companies are equipped with *. Playing defensive melee combat, the firepower of * is not a little bit. The Tianping Army also gave face, and did not let Guoxing Alao bother to adjust the deployment, Liu Ju took his brigade of men and horses and killed them along the path at the entrance of the village.

The Taiping Army is not comparable to the previous bandits, not only the uniforms are neat and lined up, but even the momentum is very different. When the bandits attacked, their eyes were full of greed for food, and their desire to kill shone like the eyes of a mad dog. And the eyes of the Taiping army are very calm, and even have a kind of indifference without desire, but those who have seen it will find that the eyes are like wolves staring at its prey.

Guo Xing'a couldn't see his eyes because of the distance, but he could feel the momentum. Before, Guo Xing'a had always thought that the fanatical momentum of the bandits was the momentum of the soldiers on the battlefield, which made people feel frightened. Today, Guo Xinga knows what the real momentum of the warrior is, just like a wave of lake water, and then your heart will get colder and colder as they approach, and finally sink to the bottom of the lake. The veterans of the banner people are okay, after all, it is not the first time they have stood in this trench. The Han recruits who stood in the trenches for the first time could not be calm. They writhed unnaturally, swallowing saliva. It was as if a flea was crawling on its back, and it seemed to be thirsty.

The ranks of the Taiping army advanced to the defensive line of about 300 meters, and automatically divided into three divisions, one in the center and forward, and the other two in the two flanks to cover. The middle part is slowly approaching in a neat phalanx, and the other two are lined up in an acute angle formation to follow behind. The team was silent as it marched, except for the sound of footsteps, proving that they were approaching.

Guo Xing'a poked his head out from behind the earthen wall and observed the Taiping army, about 500 people, about 100 musketeers in the center, and about 200 infantry on each wing, using broadswords and spears. Guo Xing'a's heart relaxed slightly, this batch of Taiping Army weapons is not particularly advanced.

The Taiping Army's awareness of the use of firearms was still very advanced. When the Eight Banners Army was still comparing bows and horses with others, the Taiping Army was already running muskets and cannons. When the conditions were difficult and it was impossible to purchase weapons, the Taiping army worked part-time as an archaeologist for firearms - the Taiping army once dug up the copper cannons from the ground and used them during the rebellion of Wu Sangui and the three feudatories. After the Qing army began to pay attention to firearms, the Taiping army advanced by leaps and bounds. For the sake of more advanced foreign guns and artillery, the Taiping army did everything from abduction and smuggling. Zeng Guofan returned to the mandarin duck formation, Li Xiucheng formed a pure firearms army of 30,000 people, and even Zeng Guoquan was shot by Li Xiucheng's foreign gun team and almost returned to the west. If it weren't for the complete strategic defeat of the Taiping army, and the fact that it was cut off from the supply of weapons. Judging from the use of weapons alone, the Hunan army and the Huai army were not as good as the Taiping army.

Zeng Guoquan wrote to his eldest brother every day and cried that the Taiping Army had fierce firepower, and Li Hongzhang tried his best to win over foreigners to engage in foreign gun teams, all of which were forced by the advanced weapons of the Taiping Army. If the Westernists in Beijing were beaten out by the British and French forces, then these governors in the south were beaten out by the Taiping army. Prince Gong's feeling of being blocked in Beijing by the British and French forces was not felt by Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, and Zuo Zongtang in the south. They were so active in the Westernization Movement that they were nothing more than educated by the bullets of the Taiping Army. The Taiping army found foreigners to buy guns and beat them, and after these brothers were beaten a few times, they all understood that foreign guns and foreign cannons were good. Guo Xing'a knew early on that foreign guns and foreign artillery were good, but unfortunately he didn't, so he could only watch the Taiping army approach his defense line step by step.

The Taiping army finally approached about 100 meters, Feng Sheng'a pulled out his handcuff, shot outside, and shouted: "Beat this group of bastards who have forgotten their ancestors for Lao Tzu!" ”

Fengsheng A's handcuffs should be regarded as antiques in the eyes of Guo Xing'a, with smooth flint hair and carvings. The hit rate of hitting targets 100 meters away is similar to that of hitting the moon, and it can basically only play the role of a starting gun.

"Alternate firing from one to four platoons in a row!"

"Two companies shoot alternately from one to four platoons!" Actun, the commander of the first company, and Tong Jia, the commander of the second company, shouted at the same time.

A deafening volley of muskets rang out, and it was extremely rhythmic and continuous. A puff of white smoke rose over the earthen walled defense, followed by sparks like twinkling stars in the night sky, constantly flickering in the white smoke. The recruits have not yet hit the enemy musketeers first, knocking out the awareness of the enemy's long-range weapons. However, everyone has more or less something in common, and the recruits invariably choose easy targets. The Taipings' musketeers were so dense and forward that they even blocked the infantry battalion's firing range aimed at their infantry on both flanks. You stand so closely, you have to stand so far forward, and you block others, and you don't hit anyone.

With the loud sound of muskets, the musketeers of the Taiping army immediately fell one piece. And with the flickering of sparks, one by one fell. Blood flowers bloomed in an instant in the entire phalanx, and the huge momentum of Migne's bullet made the flesh and blood in the team fly. The Minne bullet has a certain penetration, and after killing the first Taiping army, the warhead that has not yet exhausted will often carry the flesh and blood of the first Taiping army and penetrate the partner behind him again. The situation of two or even three lives with one shot kept happening, and the phalanx of the Taiping army was too dense. Some recruits who are good marksmanship choose headshots in order to show themselves to their superiors. Although it will not have the effect of one shot and two lives, it will be more terrifying. As soon as the Taiping soldiers in the back row heard the gunshots, a skull still stained with * had already been lifted in front of him. That inexplicable fear is even more terrible than death.

After two rounds of alternating firing, Feng Sheng'a ordered to stop firing. Because I didn't hear the sound of the Taiping army charging, and there was already a white fog in front of me, I needed to see the situation. After a long time, the white fog had cleared, the Taiping army had abandoned the offensive, the musketeers were almost completely wiped out, and the infantry on both flanks had retreated back to their own positions. After seeing the battlefield environment clearly, Guo Xing'a really wanted to write a uniform to the commander of the Taiping Army just now. This guy not only chose to retreat immediately, but also took advantage of the fact that the infantry battalion was obscured by smoke and stopped shooting, and actually picked up all the muskets of the fallen musketeers. Guo Xing'a praised from the bottom of his heart: "What a person who lives a life! Sacrifice your life and not your wealth! ”

Liu Ju returned to the Taiping Army's main camp in disgrace, and he didn't know how to meet Huang Daping. I didn't do anything, I took five hundred people to the Qing Demon for a walk, and then came back with four hundred people. How do you say that! Liu Ju has the heart to wipe his neck, and the hundred musketeers are all the elite of his subordinates.

"Master Shuai, incompetent!" Liu Ju had tears in his eyes when he saluted Huang Da.

"It's none of your business, you've done a great job! The foreign guns have been brought back, and it will not be easy. Huang Daping didn't care.

"Those hundred brothers died unjustly!" Liu Ju didn't hold back but still cried.

"It's my fault, I didn't expect the Qing Demon to have so many foreign guns." Huang Daping admitted his miscalculation.

"This is the regular army of the Qing Kingdom! The level of their equipment is almost comparable to that of the army of our country. Without waiting for Liu Ju to speak, a foreigner in a dark blue military uniform spoke on the side.

"Brother Karl, do you have any comments?" Huang Daping admired this foreigner who spoke Chinese well, named Carl. As for Carl being from that country, Carl said it, but Huang Daping didn't understand. But Huang Daping knew that Karl was a foreigner soldier who took the initiative to join the Taiping Army, he had fought in foreign countries, and he had some knowledge, and this time King Zhong specially sent him to assist him in using artillery.

"People who believe in God can no longer be allowed to attack such a line with cold weapons, it will be a massacre." Carl replied.

"How can such a line of defense be fought in your country?" Huang Daping also used an old musket, of course, he knew that there were not enough lives, and he couldn't rush hard. Since Carl said that his country's army is about the same level as the Qing Demon's firearms, it is better to take the scriptures of foreign monks.

"Bombard them with artillery, suppress them with muskets, break a point of their defenses, and victory will belong to God's people." Carl replied.

"Okay, Brother Karl, you go command the artillery!" Huang Daping felt that Carl's method was feasible.

"Willing to serve, all for God!" Karl bowed and turned to leave.

"For the sake of the smoke!" Huang Daping muttered disdainfully. Don't look at Karl's open-mouthed God, in fact, he came here for the Taiping Army's salary and tobacco.
