Chapter 137: Twisting the Army

Guo Xing'a stayed in Yi County very trustworthy, although he already knew that the so-called big scene was just his own loneliness, but Guo Xing'a was still reluctant to go, because the big scene did not stop. After the swallow wing banquet, food expert Zou Chuan arranged an elephant pat banquet and a bear's paw banquet, but Guo Xinga really didn't eat enough.

As for Ding Degui, Zou Chuan, and Wang Wenju, they were actually not beaten to the door by the Twist Army, and they just heard that the Twist Army was coming. The reason why he has made so much effort to win over Guoxing'a is to prepare for both hands, firstly, Guoxing'a is also a nouveau riche in size, and it is always good to have a good fate, and secondly, if there is really a twisted army, they can also be regarded as having a backbone. And for Zou Chuan, some banquets are really nothing, and he eats more than this on his birthday.

But what should come is always coming, and when Guo Xing'a got up early to go to the whole fish feast, the military information of the invasion of the twisted army was sent to the wine table. More than 100 twist troops raided Sihu Town and Pi Town, and the beautiful atmosphere was almost broken, and Guoxing Adu was ready to pay for the meal. Ding Degui, who has always felt like a civilian official than a military general, stood up and claimed that he would personally exterminate the more than 100 rebels if he didn't work hard.

"General Ding can't be careless! Look at this distance, the twist bandits attacked two towns in a row, I'm afraid it's cavalry! Guo Xing'a glanced at the map, estimated the time in his heart, and found that although the other party was slower than the serious cavalry, the marching speed was still very fast. However, Guo Xing'a and Zhang Lexing have fought each other, and they know that there are a lot of cavalry in the Twist Army, so the Twist Army that is attacking is also a cavalry.

"The co-leader doesn't need to worry, if he doesn't dare to speak out, on this canal, the last general still has confidence. Ladies and gentlemen, just sit down for the feast for the time being, and wait for the good news of the victory of the last general. "Ding Degui still has his capital, although he only has six hundred soldiers, but there are eighteen warships on the canal, and the twist army is just near the canal, he has an advantage in numbers, so he is naturally fearless.

When Guo Xing'a was drinking crucian carp soup, Ding Degui confessed his guilt and rushed out with his subordinates, and Wang Wenju and others also praised General Ding's might. Guo Xing'a didn't want everyone to be disappointed, but after Ding Degui went away, Guo Xing'a still asked Sai Shang'a to return to the camp to reorganize his troops and horses, and gather troops to be ready to meet at any time. Zou Chuan still looks naïve on his face, but he secretly wrote down a stroke of Guoxing's in private, no wonder this son is known as invincible in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is really a cautious person. Wang Wenju and others felt that Guo Xing'a was a bit too much, Ding Degui had a six-fold advantage in troops, where was the need for Guo Xing'a to do it.

"My lord, it's a big deal, my lord, my lord, my lord, it's a big thing!" As Goxinga began to taste the steamed sea bass, a servant stumbled in with an apocalyptic expression on his face.

"What's the alarm?" Zou Chuan was also a little surprised, no matter how fast Ding Degui was defeated, it was impossible to run back so quickly, so he just changed five dishes.

"Countless twisted bandit cavalry went straight to the county seat to kill!" The official was already kneeling on the ground and shaking into a ball.

"How many are there?" Zou Chuan is not an incompetent and cowardly person, but he is too delicious and has a body that is too rich and easy-going.

"Lord County, I can't see clearly! The dust they ran up was all covered by the sky, and there must have been many, many people! "The officials are not scouts, where is it possible to count the number of rebels.

"From that direction! Are there any other directions? Zou Chuan peeked at Guo Xing'a, who was eating tender sea bass with great care under the service of two maids.

"From the West Gate, I haven't seen you in any other direction!" The officials didn't dare to say that they were dead, they didn't dare to say no, they only dared to say that they hadn't seen it yet.

"Where's the garrison?" Zou Chuan remembered the garrison in the county that had almost no sense of existence.

"Forget it, sit down! I'm going out to save money on the food for the past few days! Guo Xing'a picked up the teacup and rinsed his mouth.

"The cavalry battalion bypassed the county town and lined up outside the west gate, the first and second infantry battalions also lined up outside the west gate through the county seat, the artillery company concentrated all the artillery on the city wall, the reconnaissance company monitored the movements in the city, and the baggage company and the teaching team held the camp!" Guo Xing'a commanded while wiping his mouth.

"There is Lao Yunshuai!" Zou Chuan, Wang Wenju and others hurriedly came over to be polite, and they didn't expect that guard.

"It's okay, eat slowly, the dishes are served slowly, I'll be back in a while!" Guo Xing'a helped Zou Chuan back to his chair, turned around and left.

Standing on the city gate tower at the west gate of Yixian County, Guo Xing'a saw the legendary smoke and dust that covered the sky and the sun, but it was just a puff of rolling dust. The attacking Twist army was only 3,000 people, although there were a large number of cavalry, but looking at the speed, it should be that the situation of the war horses was uneven, resulting in a very inconsistent marching speed. This problem also arose after the cavalry battalion of Goxinga was replenished with 200 foreign horses, and the 1st and 2nd companies left the 3rd company and the 1st cavalry company far behind when they charged, and they asked to slow down when marching. Guo Xing'a, who had just solved this problem by relying on a specific war horse to perform a specific task, of course saw the other party's problem at a glance. After waiting for a dish to be available, the other party finally lined up a mile outside the city, and looked at the Guoxing Asuo who was blocking them with contempt.

"There are a lot of bandits, will Yun Shuai retreat into the city first and hold on!" After Guo Xing'a left, Zou Chuan and the others followed them to the city wall.

"Not much! There are only more than 3,000 people, and they have a lot of livestock, so the dust is a little bigger! Guo Xing'a didn't look back when he spoke, he thought it was Xiande, who always liked to contradict him, asking questions. However, after answering, he realized that his subordinates did not call him "Yun Shuai".

"Why are you here?" Guo Xing'a looked at Zou Chuan and the others with a shocked expression.

"I've heard of Yun Shuai's tiger power, and I'm here to cheer for Yun Shuai!" Wang Wenju said with a little weakness.

"The dish is finished!" Goxinga doesn't need people to cheer up.

"Yun Shuai is relieved, there are four main dishes, and the fish are still alive!" Zou Chuan is a little bit of a ghost with Guo Xing.

"It's just a trifle!" Guo Xing'a suddenly had an idea, if Li Xiucheng chased after him, he must rescue this Zou Chuan, although this guy is extremely guilty of embezzling public funds, but he is really good at eating.

The Twist Army outside the city didn't come to see the excitement, and when Guo Xing'a was studying vegetables on the city tower, the Twist Army began to attack. The cavalry began to attack the Qing army from both flanks, intending to defeat the Qing army and then directly attack the city gate to capture the city. They have used this method many times, and the Qing army will fall into confusion after being attacked, and then the Qing infantry will retreat into the city with the cavalry, and they can easily follow up.

However, the enemy is not static, and this time the Qing army is very different. When the two wings of the Taiping army first began to move, Guo Xing'a, who was discussing how to eat beef with Zou Chuan, waved his hand, and thirty-two twelve-pounder Napoleonic cannons and twenty improved Weiyuan general cannons opened fire together. According to the terrain and the situation of both sides, Kong Zhen selected the grenade shotgun with the best effect on killing soft targets, and the fifty-two shotgun packets exploded into nearly 2,000 iron beads in the air, and an iron rain fell on the heads of the Twist Army.

Some of the clever twisters raised their shields, but the clever ones were not spared, as their rudimentary rattan cards could not stop iron beads larger than a centimeter in diameter. Knowing that beef with eggs or quail eggs would be more tender, Guo Xing'a asked Zou Chuan for advice on dining etiquette, and waved his hand to the herald. The herald used the flag language to convey the meaning of Goxinga's wave, the infantry fired freely, and the cavalry could charge at any time.

The infantry was already proficient in using the hollow phalanx, and more than a thousand bullets were fired in two rounds at the Twisted cavalry, whose wings were already scattered. Shelled at a distance of only 500 meters, and then shot at by muskets, the Twisters, who had just been in a rainbow formation, had now become like ragdolls in a garbage heap, riddled with holes and fragments.

"Long live my emperor!" Mu Shun pulled out his German-style saber and rushed out first. Eight hundred heavy cavalry launched a wall charge, and opposite them was a flock of lambs, which was already clearly confused. The artillery completed another shelling before the cavalry sortie, and the road in front of the cavalry completely turned into a smooth one.

"Hooray!" The Qing cavalry shouted their signature slogans, raised their shining sabers, and launched an entertaining charge. There was no enemy in front of them in front of them, all they could see was the enemy's back.

"Yun Shuai, you are really invincible!" Zou Chuan's mouth had not been closed since he said the quail eggs mixed with beef, and the quail eggs rang out as soon as the cannon sounded. After that, Zou Chuan has been looking at everything that is happening in front of him like a sculpture, Guo Xing'a really solved everything in the time of only one dish, Zou Chuan couldn't believe his eyes, the time of a cold dish, three thousand strong captives were wiped out. It wasn't until the cavalry had already chased far away that Zou Chuan spent his strength and praised him for being invincible. He is already very good, Wang Wenju and others are still in the state of sculpture and have not recovered.

These so-called Twist Army cavalry are just a veteran who has fought several battles, with three thousand peasants riding donkeys, and it is really a bit boring to win them Guoxinga. Riding a donkey peasant is not a derogatory term, not only do these cavalry not have many war horses and mules, but also have 2,000 people on the mount of a high-headed donkey that is a specialty of Shandong. A group of regular troops on imported war horses defeated a group of peasants on donkeys, and Goxinga hoped that no one would take this as his record in the future, which was really humiliating. Fighting such an enemy is an insult to the regular army, and it is the police who should deal with them, and they should not be considered a rebellion, but a case of law and order.

"Shall we go back and finish the rest of the dishes?" Guo Xing'a really didn't bother to mention things that were too much to fight, and it was better to eat and take care of it.

"Should, should!" Guo Xing'a was only Zou Chuan's insurance before, but now he is Zou Chuan's bodhisattva.

"Yixian garrison! Bring some people to collect the prisoners, and I will ask for some cattle to pull the carts, and I don't want these people! "Guo Xinga doesn't like to eat donkey meat.

The group returned to the garden with a smile, and the cook once again presented exquisite dishes, but before he could move his chopsticks, another official ran in.

"My lord, go and save General Ding! He was defeated by the Twist Bandits, and is being pursued by the Five Hundred Twist Bandits! The official also felt a little that General Ding was not angry, and he had just finished reading how the three thousand twisted bandits were gone.

"He's being chased by a gang of donkey riders!" Guoxinga really can't eat anymore, it's a little disgusting!
