There are five major elements of ambush warfare, and Guo Xinga can't remember it clearly, but he still has an impression of the terrain, the enemy's situation, and the timing of the battle. The nearby terrain is ideal for ambushes, which is no problem. Huang Daping chased Guo Xing'a for a few days, and he was also a tired division and suitable for ambushes. But when it comes to the timing of the war, Guoxinga has a little bit of a bad grasp of it.

Although this place is mountainous, it is quite open between the two mountains, and it is not a valley. Moreover, the Qing army was insufficient, and it could not completely encircle the Taiping army, and it was only necessary to defeat it in terms of tactical needs, so it was not considered to completely annihilate the Taiping army, and there was no need to open your mouth too much. But whether it is better to fight it when it shows its head or cut it off at the waist, Guo Xing'a is a little uncertain.

After the front team of the Taiping Army all entered the range of the first company, Guo Xing'a pinched * and began to entangle, and when the front team of the Taiping Army approached a distance of 100 meters, Guo Xing'a had not yet struggled with a result. He really wanted to let the front team of the Taiping Army and focus on taking care of the squadron of the Taiping Army. Because the squadron that mainly attacked the Taiping army could cut the Taiping army into three sections, so that it could not take care of each other, which was the most beneficial to the Qing army. And Huang Daping is definitely in the squadron, Guo Xing'a, who regards Huang Daping's three words as a nightmare, of course, hopes to solve Huang Daping as soon as possible.

But the psychological pressure of letting the front team of hundreds of Taiping Army pass by is too great. Even if the infantry and artillery are not exposed, there is a cavalry company behind the mountain beam, and people can endure it, but it is difficult to say that the war horse is not good. Guo Xing's hands were sweaty, rubbing his fingers repeatedly, hesitating how to decide.

At this time, a soldier in the front team of the Taiping Army suddenly stretched, and his fingers were pointing to the hidden position of the artillery. Kong Zhen was more nervous than Goxinga, and his artillery had never been so close to the enemy. Seeing that someone among the enemies suddenly stopped and pointed to his position, Kong Zhen decisively carried out Guoxing's second order; "If the concealment is successful, use the gunfire of Goxinga as a signal for attack. If it is confirmed that it has been exposed, it can immediately launch an attack on its own, and all departments should cooperate in a timely manner. "He gave the order for an artillery attack. Therefore, the Taiping army saw that dozens of figures suddenly jumped out of the originally calm grass and trees, and then they launched more than 20 terrifying artillery.

The Napoleonic artillery kicked off the ambush, and the twenty-two guns were divided into three groups according to the plan drawn up before the war. The first group of seven gates aimed at the rear of the Taiping army, and was loaded with a charge of three catties and seven taels*. The second group consisted of seven guns loaded with solid spherical shells, aimed directly at the squadron of the Taiping Army. One of them was personally operated by Kong Zhen, aiming at the flag of the Taiping Army ordered by the three armies of the squadron. Finally, the third group of eight guns, all loaded with shotguns, was aimed at the front line of the Taiping army.

"Boom, boom, ......boom" The cannon sound of the shaking valley sounded, although the military flags of the three armies were still fluttering in the wind, but the three teams of men and horses who were attacked by the surprise attack were already dead and wounded. * The roar came, and the rear team of the Taiping army blew up pieces of smoke and dust, and the shotguns also blew the front team like rice, but the most serious was the Taiping army in the squadron. Eight heavy solid iron balls smashed like meteors into the ranks of the Taiping Army, jumping playfully and repeatedly. The terrifying power of Napoleon's cannon to penetrate a company column was proven, and eight bloody alleys ran through the ranks of the Taiping squadron.

"Bang, bang, bang......!" Signals were no longer needed, and the Qing units began alternating volleys. Enfield M1853 terrifying Minne bullets flew across the mountains, and the Taiping soldiers who were still loading in a panic exploded bright red plasma on their chests. The horrific buckshot pierced through their flesh and shattered their bones, slicing through their internal organs with the broken bones, severing their veins, and leaving only a still young corpse.

Guo Xing'a held a telescope and carefully observed the situation on the battlefield, he didn't blame Kong Zhen, at least now that there was a result, he didn't need to continue to struggle. However, except for the artillery, he was not satisfied with the performance of the various divisions, the rate of fire of the breech guns made the fire somewhat sparse, and the carefully prepared pocket formations were not tight, of course, this was not the responsibility of the soldiers.

The Taiping army also proved itself with strength, and they did not lose their reputation after defeating several times the enemy several times. The front team of the Taiping Army, which was smashed by the artillery shotgun shells, did not retreat, but quickly organized its troops and launched a charge against the Qing artillery position only a few hundred meters away. Although the power of the cannon was enormous, as long as it could be approached, it was nothing more than a heavy pile of copper pieces, many of which the Taiping army had taken from the Qing army with their own courage.

A company of volleys knocked down a piece of the Taiping army, but the gap in reloading allowed more Taiping troops to find a chance to charge. They roared with bayonets, and launched a white-knuckle charge without fear of death, the Qing army would be afraid to retreat, they knew the Qing army too well. These guys who can only shoot arrows and firearms are so cowardly, as long as they rush close to them, the Qing army, especially the Eight Banners Army, will flee with wailing, every time. The Taiping soldiers who did not charge in the front team also loaded their rifles with bullets and began to shoot at the Qing troops in the trenches to provide fire cover for the charging robes.

Guo Xing'a secretly rejoiced that in order to snipe Huang Daping, he put the special operations team in the position of a company. If there is no special operations team, in the face of the white-knuckle charge of the Taiping Army, the future of the first company is absolutely worrying. The revolver rifle and * of the special operations squad can definitely be regarded as the * of this era. Their constant and dense firepower can definitely be regarded as unusually ferocious in this era. The special operations team formed a fire net at a distance of 40 to 80 meters, and when the rifle bullets ran out, they changed pistols, firmly blocking the pace of the Taiping army's charge. One by one, the Taiping army fell in front of their dense rain of bullets.

However, the form was not optimistic, and the offensive of the Taiping army, which had been in battle for a long time, was like a storm, without the slightest stop. The special operations team didn't have time to reload their rifles, they all switched to pistols, and Goxinga had already seen in the binoculars that some soldiers casually threw away the replacement wheels. They were pressed so tightly that the wheel, which they usually regarded as treasures, was now just consumables that could be thrown away.

Fortunately, Kong Zhen also saw the danger of the company's position, and all the reloaded artillery was aimed at the front of the Taiping army. Eight solid spherical shells, fourteen shotguns, and twenty-two artillery guns launched a salvo. The wind and rain of spherical metal blew in front of the company's position, and the solid iron ball blurred the flesh and blood of the human body, and the dense shotgun was enough to tear a human life to pieces. In an instant, only a few dazed figures remained in the charging team, and the Taiping army providing cover was also suppressed so much that they could not raise their heads. After another volley of fire, the Taiping gave up the charge. However, they did not retreat, but found cover on the spot and began to shoot at a series of fires under the absolute disadvantage.

Taking advantage of the slight reduction in the Taiping Army's offensive, the special operations team stopped firing and began to look for the runner that had just been thrown aside, and reload the ammunition. The charge of the Taiping Army lasted only a few minutes, but the special operations team had already exhausted all the ammunition. The barrels of many pistols and rifles were already red, and several soldiers also had burns on their palms from the barrels.

"Awesome!" Looking at the performance of the front team of the Taiping Army, Guo Xing'a had to sincerely admire, the elite of the Taiping Army who had experienced a hundred battles really deserved its reputation.

The persistence of the front team must have brought great casualties to themselves, after all, the terrain was unfavorable, the charge was also repulsed, and they also had to face the threat of artillery. But their persistence won opportunities for the squadron and the rear team behind. As long as they were there, the Qing artillery had no time to care, and it also left hope for the Taiping army to attack the Qing artillery positions again. If they retreated, it would be difficult for the Taiping army to reach the Qing army's artillery position, but if they could not defeat the Qing army's artillery, it would be difficult for the Taiping army to reverse the disadvantage of being comprehensively suppressed.

Huang Daping did make good use of the opportunity and time that the front team gave him, and the back team quickly moved closer to the squadron and formed a team. Moreover, an infantry phalanx was formed and began to return fire to the Qing army with continuous fire. Although the Taiping army did not have heavy firepower such as artillery, it had many people and many guns, and once it formed a phalanx, the firepower density of sectional firing was extremely high. The dense rain of bullets, like someone holding a bowl and splashing soybeans on the Qing army's position, hit the Qing army's position one after another. Moreover, the Chinese military formation of the Taiping Army was slowly moving, gradually moving closer to the front team, trying to open the gap from the front.

Some people's first reaction when they encounter an ambush is to run, thinking that running out of the ambush circle is a victory. Most of the generals of the Qing army had this idea, so every time the Qing army was ambushed, the casualties were extremely heavy. This kind of thing will only appear in romance novels with the theme of fighting generals such as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and only the generals of the Qing army who are familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms will believe it.

When the army is marching, the general is generally not stupid to be the first in the whole army. When most of the army is ambushed, it will definitely not be only the first few people who enter the ambush circle. Generally, it is not mostly surrounded, but about half of you must be surrounded. At this time, you turn around and run, and the part of the people who are surrounded is basically finished, the support is gone, and he still doesn't stop cooking. And you may not be able to run, when you are ambushed and raided, the army will inevitably panic, if it is an organized battle, the soldier's mind is about the battle, and maybe the situation can be maintained. Once the troops turn around and run away, it will not be an orderly withdrawal, and the bullets will be chasing and biting the ass in the back, and the army will inevitably be in chaos, and the breakthrough will become a rout. Eat the enemy army in front of you and chase after you from behind, and you will have no one after running for ten or twenty miles. Therefore, in the event of an ambush, normal officers will organize a counterattack in an effort to crush the enemy or break through in an orderly manner during the battle.

In the first wave of raids, the Qing army achieved good results, and the Taiping army suffered many casualties. At present, there are still four or five hundred remnants of the front team of the Taiping Army in front of the first company, and Huang Daping's Chinese army formation is probably only about 1,800 people. However, Goxinga was not very satisfied with the performance of the various departments, especially the command ability of the commanders. Bi Yuntao's company was completely suppressed and beaten by the Taiping army, and it was not his fault that the enemy was too strong. Fuquan's recruit company did not disgrace Guoxing'a, and he was quite flexible. Fuquan not only carried out alternate fire in the position to attack the Taiping army, but also arranged for part of the troops to move forward, forming multiple firing points, and at the same time extending to the side and rear of the balance frame. But Tong Jiake of the second company was a little too rigid, and he kept motionless in the preset position. Fortunately at the time of the raid, now that the Taiping army has formed a phalanx, the second company has been pressed to the point that it can't raise its head. And because there was no extension action, there was a big gap in Goxinga's pocket array in the direction of the second company.

Chengtai's assault company made Guoxing'a speechless, and Guoxing'a arranged for Chengtai to cut off the Taiping army's rear road, but Chengtai and the assault company seemed to be missing. The artillery fire was bursting in the sky, and the two armies were fighting very lively, but the direction of the assault company did not see any reaction for a long time.
