Chapter 202: Revenge
Qin Rigang, who had returned from the defeat of Tianjia Town, was still full of shame when he saw Yang Xiaoshan: "Dashuai, I failed." This group of Qing demons is different from the previous Eight Banners Green Battalion, they are local group training. This regimental training is different from ordinary regimental training, but it is very similar to Jiang Zhongyuan's team, they are quite difficult to fight to the death. ”
Yang Xiaoshan didn't blame too much, he knew that the Hunan army was very famous in the history of the late Qing Dynasty, and it was normal for Qin Rigang to fail. "Qin Hou, don't care too much, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, this time I am just going to Tianjia Town to meet them, you and I will go together to avenge your blood hatred."
"This Qing Demon Lord General Taqib is very difficult, this person is not afraid of death at all, every time he charges forward, he is unstoppable. Be careful. "Qin Rigang obviously suffered from him, this Taqib is indeed a great general, Zeng Guofan was able to recover Hunan and Hubei, Taqibu has made a great contribution.
"Oh? Tell me about their tactics. "Yang Xiaoshan is not arrogant, as long as there is a trace of the enemy's situation, he must grasp the slightest.
Qin Rigang told Yang Xiaoshan about the situation in Tianjia Town these days.
"This Zeng Guofan is really a good method." Yang Xiaoshan couldn't help but admire after listening to it.
"Dashuai, how can we fight back? What's the solution? Qin Rigang never forgot to take revenge, and finally made a lot of military achievements in the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and lost again in Tianjia Town. So as soon as Yang Xiaoshan came, he immediately hugged Yang Xiaoshan's thighs firmly, if he wanted to restore the throne, he had to follow Yang Xiaoshan to have a chance.
"Do we still need to think about this, Zeng Guofan has thought about it for us, let's treat others in the same way." Yang Xiaoshan smiled slightly, at this time, the sailors of the Hunan army were all heading towards Jiujiang. There is only the Taiping army's navy on the river in Tianjia Town, and the power to control the river is in the hands of the Taiping army, and the Qing army left in Tianjia Town has nothing to fight.
Yang Xiaoshan very keenly seized the opportunity of the separation of land and water of the Hunan army, and Luo Xuan's army was very arrogant on the Yangtze River, and it was a fierce bombardment at the camp that the Hunan army had just set up.
Although Qin Rigang suffered defeat, the most right thing he did was to burn down his camp. The newly constructed camp of the Hunan army was not solid, and Zeng Guofan did not let them stay here for a long time, and after a while they had to go to Jiujiang to cooperate with the naval division to attack. Therefore, the requirements for building a camp are a little looser than usual, and a lot of wood is not so deep.
The bombardment of Rocheb blew up Tazib's camp terribly.
"Where is this long hair? Why are there so many warships? "Tazib was blinded by artillery bombardment.
"It was from the direction of Anhui, and the flag was Yang Xiaoshan, the most famous general of the Taiping Army, and he was the first person to enter Nanjing and Wuchang. Lord Jiang Zhongyuan also died at his hands, Lord General, let's withdraw, the long hair is fierce. The manager is a big player, I'm afraid we can't stop them. After analyzing the situation, the strategist Zhou Fengshan strongly recommended.
"Jokes? I'm Taqib defeated the two long-haired kings in a row, and I'm afraid that he will be a yellow-haired boy? I'm just going to meet him and see if he has three heads and six arms? Tazib said proudly.
"My lord, our camp has been bombed in many places, and if it doesn't go well in the battle at this time, we won't even have a place to retreat!" Zhou Fengshan said uneasily, as a general, he must consider the way to retreat.
Taqibu waved his hand and said: "Don't say this depressing thing before the war, who are we afraid of when we fight here from Xiangtan?" Tomorrow I'll see how I sweep them to pieces. "Tazib is very confident.
Zhou Fengshan didn't dare to agree, now the Taiping army is advancing by land and water, and the Hunan army is just a lone army in Tianjia Town, and if it is not done, it will be surrounded, which is not a trivial matter, but he knows that it is useless to persuade Taqibu now, so he can only act tomorrow.
The next day, the two armies faced each other in Tianjia Town, and Yang Xiaoshan was not afraid that the Hunan army would attack, so he was afraid that they would run away. Therefore, Qin Rigang was sent by Yang Xiaoshan to take the lead, and the enemy was very red when he saw the enemy. The two didn't say much and fought in one place.
I have to say that Taqib's combat power is one head higher than that of Qin Rigang, and the ruthlessness of the Hunan army is incisive in him. Although Qin Rigang was also very brave personally, he still lost to Taqibu in the overall team, and soon Qin Rigang fell into passivity.
"Chen Yucheng, if you go to support Qin Rigang, you must bite that Taqibu." Yang Xiaoshan commanded Chen Yucheng's team to come forward to help.
As soon as Chen Yucheng joined the battle, the situation on the battlefield was reversed. Qin Rigang received strong support from Chen Yucheng, and also regained his confidence, and became entangled with Taqib, and the two armies were killed together, and each entered the other's position.
Luo Zenan, who was pressing the formation behind the Hunan army, saw that it was not good, and hurriedly came over to prepare to support Taqib.
Yang Xiaoshan waved the flag, and Li Xiucheng led his men to block Luo Zenan. Yang Xiaoshan's intention in this battle is obvious, that is, to eat the most capable Taqibu in the Hunan army and strike a blow at the arrogance of the Hunan army.
Although Taqibu was flanked by Chen Yucheng and Qin Rigang, he was still dying, at this time the tenacity of the Hunan army was shown, because they were all fellow villagers and knew each other, and they would have run away long ago if they were replaced by other Qing troops, but the people of the Hunan army did not dare to run, and they could catch you if they ran back to their hometown, and they would be punished by military law.
The battle entered a stalemate, and the two sides were inseparable, but Yang Xiaoshan was different from the Hunan army, and his reserves had not yet appeared.
"Wei Jun!" Yang Xiaoshan rarely used Wei Jun's rear army, but he was needed to play at this time.
"Wei Guozong got on the boat and was about to go around to the back of the Qing Demon." A pro-soldier replied. Guozong is an honorary title for the relatives of the kings, not an official position
"This kid is actually the same as I thought." Yang Xiaoshan felt that he still underestimated Wei Jun, because he was Wei Changhui's younger brother, and Yang Xiaoshan had always pressed him in the rear army, otherwise he would charge into battle, afraid that he would have an accident and not be able to deal with the king of the north.
Wei Jun used the transport ship to come to the back of the Hunan army and flank them. At this time, the morale of the Hunan army plummeted.
"Not good!" Strategist Zhou Fengshan sensed the danger, it seemed that this Yang Xiaoshan was not going to defeat himself, but to eat himself. "Hurry up and get everyone out." From the actions of Long Mao, Zhou Fengshan discovered the intentions of the Taiping army, and they wanted to block themselves by the river.
Luo Zenan received Zhou Fengshan's signal and began to retreat to the north while fighting, while Taqibu was still unaware and was still fighting. It wasn't until Chen Yucheng rushed in front of him that he realized that he was too far away from the main army and was ready to move closer to the south of Luoze.
At this time, Chen Yucheng deliberately commanded Taqib's army: "What, as soon as grandpa comes, you want to run?" Afraid of dying? ”
How could this Taqib accept such a young man's agitation, "Less nonsense, there is a kind of war!" "Tazib has lost his mind a little, and by this time he is still dying.
Taqib's martial arts are not weak, but what he met this time was Chen Yucheng, Chen Yucheng's marksmanship is notoriously tricky, and Taqib has been fighting for so long and is already a little physically exhausted.
Chen Yucheng seized an opportunity for him to turn his head to observe the team, and a silver spear killed him.
As soon as Tazib fell, his ranks immediately went into disarray. The two-sided nature of the Hunan army is exposed, as soon as the leader dies, the people below will immediately scatter, and one person may be subject to military law, but if everyone runs together, then the law will generally not be held accountable afterwards.
As soon as Yang Xiaoshan came on the field, he abolished one of Zeng Guofan's arms, allowing the Hunan army to see the true strength of the Taiping army.
