(PS: Yesterday's chapter repetition was a problem in the background, and the pure wolf was not at home all day and could not be operated, which has now been deleted.) ）

Li Kaifang, a famous general of the Taiping Army, has been very depressed recently, since the end of the Changsha War, Li Kaifang has never been so depressed, and Li Kaifang is depressed because of an enemy, this enemy is no one else, that is, the Taiping Army soldiers in the mouth of the transcendent demon Wu Chaoyue!

The cause of Wu Chaoyue and Li Kaifang's feud does not need to be wordy, the first shot fired in Jiangning seriously injured Li Kaifang's good brother Lin Fengxiang, and the angry Li Kaifang volunteered to attack Jiangning Beicheng in front of Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing, the primary goal is to avenge Lin Fengxiang, a good brother who has lived and died together for many years!

But Li Kaifang never thought that this was only the beginning of his depression, and it was only the beginning of his gnashing teeth and hatred of surpassing the little demon. Ji Wenyuan, the love general who moved to the camp first, was abused by the little demon, not to mention, and also folded the general Cai Lianxiu; When Li Kaifang personally led the army to move to Shence Gate, because of his desire for revenge, he made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, and accidentally fell into the trick of surpassing the little demon and sent troops rashly, if it wasn't for the city defense fortifications of the Qing Demon to drop the chain, Li Kaifang almost had to lose hundreds of elite soldiers and another favorite general Huang Yiduan, and because of this, Yang Xiuqing sent someone to send a message and scolded him, which made Li Kaifang lose some face in front of his colleagues and subordinates.

In fact, it is definitely not a carelessness of the enemy, although there are few grassroots generals in the Qing army who took the initiative to surrender to the Taiping Army, but it is not nothing, in the case that Jiangning City has been surrounded by the Taiping Army on all sides, it is absolutely not surprising that there are renegades in the Qing army. In addition, there is also the green battalion soldier of the Qing army who came to offer a letter of surrender, who did not have any attempt to escape, and as soon as they met, they inquired about what reward they could get after surrendering, and they also smoked opium, how do you look like a fearless soldier who is willing to die. In the end, it was when the unlucky soldier wailed and was whipped to death by Li Kaifang's own hands, and Li Kaifang, who had never read the military book, suddenly realized that the unlucky bait in front of him was probably really unaware, and he was just a bait abandoned son who surpassed the little demon to catch big fish.

In order to waste the shells and gunpowder of the Qing army and consume the physical strength and fighting spirit of the Qing army defending the city, Li Kaifang used a tired tactic and sent a small force of troops day and night to harass the major city gates of Jiangning Beicheng, which also achieved satisfactory results. Only in the Shence Gate is an exception, the small army of the Taiping Army, not to mention harassing the defenders, a little closer to the city wall, may be hit by the cold guns on the city, the casualties are quite small, and in the end, I can only watch Jiang Ning Lian Yong demolish many houses and courtyards outside the Shence Gate, which makes it more difficult for the Taiping Army to sneak attack the Shence Gate.

All kinds of pieces are added together, Li Kaifang really doesn't want to hate to surpass the little demon to the bone, all the dreams are how to take revenge, and the biggest wish is to hope to surpass the little demon and take his demon soldiers out of the city, and fight to the death with Li Kaifang in a dignified manner! - Of course, Li Kaifang also knew in his heart that this was absolutely impossible, and it was impossible for the despicable and cunning to surpass the little demon to take the initiative to give up the advantage of the city wall.

It was because he believed that it was impossible for the little demon to lead the troops out of the city to fight, so when the Taiping army scouts sent the news of Wu Jun's training and courage out of the city to Li Kaifang, Li Kaifang, who was studying the tactics of the underground siege, almost suspected that he had heard it wrong, and after confirming that he was not dreaming, and also asked Wu Chaoyue after only bringing about 500 people out of the city, Li Kaifang did not hesitate, and immediately ordered to gather 4,000 soldiers and horses, personally led the camp, and killed directly to the side of Shence Gate.

Now it's time to take a look at the situation on Wu Chaoyue's side, in view of Lu Jianying's promise to reward ten taels of silver for every enemy killed when he goes out of the city, and understands that Jiangning City is destined to be difficult to protect, so Wu Chaoyue, who hesitated for a long time whether he should risk going out of the city, finally made up his mind, and decided to personally take all the Wu troops out of the city to fight with the Taiping army, and play a majestic morale to let the Taiping army know that they are not easy to mess with, and also take the opportunity to test the real combat effectiveness of the Taiping army, so as to break through and escape for their lives in the future.

For the sake of safety, Wu Chaoyue certainly didn't dare to go too far with the army after leaving the city, and after crossing the moat, he let Wu Jun Lian Yong rest on the spot, and asked those Jiang Ning Lian Yong hired with silver to hurry up and demolish the houses outside the city, and patiently wait for the Taiping army to take the initiative. As expected, just over an hour after leaving the city, there was an alarm from the green camp of the Qing army on the city wall, saying that the Taiping army had already attacked from the side, and it was directly coming towards the Shence Gate.

Already barely a little experienced, Wu Chaoyue did not rush to order the army to line up, but ordered the soldiers to check the weapons and equipment and dry food and drinking water, and at the same time asked Jiang Ning Lian Yong in front to continue the construction, and did not retreat without an order. Then it was not until Geng Huan said loudly that the Taiping army had entered within five miles that Wu Chaoyue ordered the army to march forward in a hundred steps to line up, as in the last Qingpu battle, and lay down a hollow phalanx, with three layers of queues and all kneeling down on one knee to make room for the Mini guns inside the phalanx to fire, and at the same time, Wu Chaoyue divided forty personal soldiers to shoot with Minnie guns in their hands to make up for the lack of long-range firepower.

As soon as the phalanx was arranged, seeing the Taiping army coming, Jiang Ning Lian Yong in front had already fled to the urn city with the city gate open, and Jiang Ning Lian Yong had just entered the urn city, and the gate of the urn city was immediately closed, leaving only Wu Chaoyue, a lone army, to meet the Taiping army outside the city. Seeing this scene, Wu Chaoyue was not in a hurry, but said loudly: "Brothers, don't panic, fight like you usually train, no matter how powerful the long hair is, it is two hands and two feet, and it can't withstand one of our bullets!" ”

He had already fought several battles with the Taiping army, one of which was a white-knuckle battle with bayonets, and Wu Junlianyong, who had gradually built up confidence, naturally agreed loudly, although there were some fears, but they were much better than the first battle of Qingpu at the beginning. So after singing the promise, some Lian Yong asked loudly: "Mr. Lian, I heard that every long hair killed today will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, is it true?" ”

"Of course it's true." Wu Chaoyue smiled and said loudly: "Don't worry, I won't deduct a penny from the reward I got today, I will still give it to you according to the old rules, double the injured, add another twenty taels of silver to the dead, and send a lot of money to his family!" ”

"Okay, I'm going to get rich today!" Countless Wu Jun Lian Yong cheered loudly, and couldn't wait to encourage each other: "Brothers, fight for strength, kill more long hair, kill one is ten taels of silver!" ”

Wu Jun Lian Yong's morale was high because of the heavy reward, but Geng Hua and other Qing generals on the city wall were worried, because they had already seen clearly with binoculars that the number of Taiping troops killed from the north was seven or eight times that of Wu Jun's Lian Yong, and there was also a fairly large Taiping Army banner, which was obviously led by a Taiping army general. At the same time, at the same time, Lu Jianying, Xianghou and other Jiangning civil and military officials also came to Shence Gate to watch the battle with trepidation, and when they saw that the Taiping army killed on the opposite side was quite large, Lu Jianying, Xianghou and others also immediately pronounced the death sentence of Wu Chaoyue and Wu Jun Lian Yong in their hearts - it is impossible to fight, as long as the whole army is not annihilated. From the very beginning, Xianghou, who saw that Wu Chaoyue was not pleasing to the eye, was still gloating in his heart, and said secretly: "Okay, now Wu Xiaomanzi must be dead!" ”

Of course, if Xianghou could know what Li Kaifang was thinking at the moment, then Xianghou would definitely not be so optimistic - after seeing Wu Jun's hollow phalanx like a hedgehog from a distance, Li Kaifang, who knew the goods, immediately gasped, knowing that the enemy who could discharge such a formation was definitely not a good match, and today's battle would never be easy to fight!

The courtyard of the house in the north that has not yet been demolished greatly hinders the Taiping army's arrangement, and at the same time, there is the threat of artillery and cold guns on the Shence Gate City, Li Kaifang can only arrange the army on the street next to the cake selling bridge, first instructed the soldiers to pay attention to avoiding the Qing army's artillery fire, and then sent two hundred musketeers and archers to sneak forward, with the help of the courtyard of the house that has not yet been demolished, to seize the advantageous firing point, and finally ordered the love general Huang Yiduan to lead five hundred elite soldiers as the vanguard, head-on to attack Wu Chaoyue's hedgehog array, and also shouted: "Remember, no matter what the cost is, you have to kill me inside the Wu Demon Hedgehog Array! As long as you can successfully break the formation, our army will win this battle! ”

Huang Yiduan, who once kicked two Qing soldiers to death with his bare hands in a battle, is the first fierce general under Li Kaifang, and he is also the vanguard general of the Taiping Army who was almost caught by Wu Chaoyue in the urn last time, and he is the master who has long been eager to eat Wu Chaoyue's bed, so after hearing Li Kaifang's order, Huang Yiduan not only did not panic and fear, but also happily took the order, and immediately trotted forward with five hundred Taiping soldiers who had been experienced in a hundred battles with shields, gradually accelerated, and shouted directly to the front of the Wu army's hedgehog array.

Seeing that the Taiping army could only invest offensive troops in batches due to terrain restrictions, Wu Chaoyue of course smiled, and when he saw the Taiping soldiers holding shields and bulletproof charges, Wu Chaoyue laughed even happier, because Wu Chaoyue had already experimented with the shield of the Qing army, and it was indeed difficult for Wu Jun's Lian Yong's firing pin gun to penetrate the shield a hundred meters away, but within fifty meters, he could wear it as he wanted, and he could basically ignore the existence of the shield.

For example, in the last Qingpu War, Xu Yao, the general of the Jiading Rebel Army, relied on a round iron pot to block the bullet, and luckily formed a ricochet and escaped. In addition, the rattan shield that has been repeatedly soaked in tung oil and covered with cotton and silk also has a good defense against round projectiles.

As for the Mini gun that Wu Jun Lianyong assisted, although it used a relatively soft lead bullet and had weak penetrating power, it was superior to high accuracy, and it was easy to shoot at the enemy's body outside the shield. So Wu Chaoyue was not polite after laughing, and immediately shouted and ordered: "Minnie gun, shoot within one hundred and fifty meters, pay attention to aiming!" Shooter gunner, don't get up without an order! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

As the Taiping army approached rapidly, Wu Jun's Lian Yong's Minnie gun finally pulled the trigger, fired one evil bullet after another, and also singled out the Taiping army generals and standard-bearers wearing yellow military uniforms to shoot. As a result, Huang Yiduan, who can be regarded as invincible in close combat, was also unlucky, in the case of being targeted by three mini guns at the same time, and then having battlefield experience, when he heard the gunshot, he immediately raised his shield to protect his head and chest, and blocked a bullet with a good shield lined with iron and cotton, but was hit in the thigh by another bullet, and between the blood splashes, Huang Yiduan stumbled and almost fell, and his thigh was seriously injured, and his combat effectiveness was suddenly sharply reduced.

Because Wu Chaoyue's own soldiers, who were idle, also picked up the Mini guns and fired, there were as many as 60 Mini guns in the first round of fire, so after the first round of shooting, more than 30 Taiping soldiers fell on the spot in a blink of an eye, either dead or injured. On the wall of the Shence Gate at the rear of the Wu army's formation, there was also a cheer immediately, but there were also many Manchu officials who shouted in remorse, "Shoot!" Why are so many people idle and not shooting? ”

Even after being hit hard, the experienced Taiping soldiers did not stop charging, and Huang Yiduan, who was injured in the thigh, was still moving forward with his wounds, shouting endlessly, "Rush!" Keep rushing! Don't give the demon a chance to fill the gunpowder! ”

The loading speed of the Mini gun was indeed relatively slow, and the Taiping soldiers were already about to rush to 60 meters, and only then did gunfire sound rang out one after another in the Wu army's formation, and more than 20 Taiping soldiers were killed and wounded by relying on high precision. Wu Chaoyue also shouted: "Minnie gunner, stop shooting!" Shotgun gunner, ready for three-stage shooting! Fire! ”

The brutal slaughter began, after strict training, Wu Jun Lian Yong took turns to fire, the first team got up and shot it, immediately knelt down on one knee to reload the bullet, and the second team shot and fired, and after the third team fired, the first team had already loaded the bullet and got up to shoot, with the three-stage shooting, the high-speed shooting advantage of the rear gun was more vividly played at this moment, the continuous firepower was dense, one after another, countless poor Taiping soldiers were shot one after another, either killed or wounded, and the corpses of the wounded soldiers were layered on top of each other, It quickly spread across the battlefield, but hardly a single soldier was able to rush within twenty meters of Wu's military formation. -- The last time Qingpu was fought in close quarters by the enemy, it was because Wu Jun Lian Yong did not adopt the tactics of three-stage shooting.

Seeing this scene, the Jiangning civil and military officials and Qing soldiers on the city wall were of course cheering and shouting endlessly, but Li Kaifang, who was watching the battle from a distance, couldn't believe this scene at all. But fortunately, after paying a heavy price for casualties, some of the Taiping soldiers who followed one after another finally rushed to the vicinity of the Wu army's formation, but without waiting for Li Kaifang to be happy, he was dumbfounded to see that Wu Jun Lian Yong not only did not panic at all, but also did not hesitate to raise the bayonet and stab the Taiping soldiers, the bayonet was stabbed hard and accurate, and the cooperation was very skillful, relying on local advantages to gain the upper hand in close combat. After all, Wu Jun's training intensity in practicing brave bayonet tactics was to the point where he could stab his own comrades to death.

Relying on the fierce charge that was not afraid of death, the Taiping soldiers finally accumulated a certain amount of strength on the close battlefield, but because the Wu army array was too small by the enemy, the Taiping soldiers could not all enter the battle, and could only dodge to both sides to rush the two wings of the Wu army formation, but it turned out that this was completely self-defeating, and the two wings of Wu Jun Lian Yong, who had been waiting impatiently, immediately opened fire, and beat the Taiping soldiers who tried to outflank the two wings screaming continuously, and the corpses were all over the ground. The snipers of the Wu army who seized the high ground in the formation also kept shooting, condescending to shoot the Taiping soldiers who were too densely formed, and even the aiming action was saved to directly hit the enemy, in order to be fast, Wu Chaoyue also ingeniously ordered his own soldiers to stand on the back of their kneeling companions and shoot with a pin gun, which further enhanced the density of firepower.

The musketeers and archers of the Taiping army did not come to help, seeing that the battle situation in front was unfavorable, those Taiping army archers who came forward against the cover of the courtyard wall of the house also shot desperately and released arrows, but the distance was too far at all There was no accuracy at all, either the shot was crooked, or it simply hit their own companions, only a few feather arrows were thrown into the inside of the Wu army's hedgehog array, which played a somewhat diversion role, and almost shot Wu Chaoyue, who was hiding in the hedgehog array. - But the distance is too far, even if he is shot, it will not end Wu Chaoyue's evil life.

When the cheers of the Qing army on the city wall were even louder, Li Kaifang, who was already in a cold sweat, remembered to send reinforcements, and sent a thousand troops in one go, and the soldiers went around in two ways to rush the two wings of the Wu army's formation, but unfortunately, these reinforcements also had to face the fire of the two wings of the Wu army's hedgehog array, and the firepower density was exactly the same as the front. At the same time, under the condition that the casualties were too heavy, there was also a danger that Huang Yi's end of the frontal impact would not be able to continue, forcing Li Kaifang to send more troops to the frontal battlefield.

The gunshots continued, in the smoke of gunpowder, more than 400 Wu army practice brave queue formation was not chaotic at all, three sides of the hard shock of the Taiping soldiers who were several times their own strength, shouting to kill the heavens, guns and knives, dying screams one after another, the Taiping soldiers in front of the Wu army array continued to die and fall to the ground, Wu Jun Lian Yong also continued to appear dead and wounded, but the phalanx was still still not moving, the soldiers in the front row died, the companions in the second row immediately filled the gap, and then the soldiers in the third row entered the second row, and Wu Chaoyue's personal soldiers did not hesitate to add into the third row, Rotation is orderly. Although the officers and men of the Taiping Army also continued to replenish the troops one after another, they suffered because they were too unfamiliar with this kind of phalanx tactics that were in the same vein as the British lobster soldiers, and they were still unable to enter the Wu army's formation at a huge price, and because of the chaos in the formation, they suffered heavy casualties in front of the Wu army Lian Yong, who was fighting in formation, and gradually began to appear that the soldiers were afraid of the enemy and retreated-the soldiers of the Taiping Army were also human beings and were also afraid of death.

Seeing this scene, the Qing soldiers on the city wall and Lu Jianying and other Jiangning civil and military officials were of course shouting wildly, one after another and one after another, Qi Suzao also yelled again and again, saying that if there are 3,000 such elite soldiers in Jiangning City, they will definitely be able to win the head of Hong Rebellion! Li Kaifang's side was in cold sweat rolling on his forehead, and he wanted to let the army temporarily retreat and regroup, but he understood that once he retreated, he would inevitably have to pay a greater price if he wanted to rush to the front of the Wu army's hedgehog formation, and he did not dare to retreat the army and continue to send troops forward, and he would only play the tactics of adding fuel to the taboo of soldiers, and he was completely in a dilemma.

When he was in a dilemma, someone next to him suddenly patted Li Kaifang's shoulder, and he was in a very bad mood Li Kaifang first pushed this person away in anger, and then turned his head to see who was patting his shoulder, and when he saw that the person who came was Yang Xiuqing, the eastern king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Li Kaifang was taken aback and hurriedly saluted Yang Xiuqing to make amends. Yang Xiuqing waved his hand, raised his binoculars and continued to look at the battlefield in the distance, and then said, "Underestimate the enemy again, right?" At the time of the big victory, I said that I wanted you to beware of surpassing the little demon, why didn't you listen? ”

"The last will be damned." Li Kaifang honestly pleaded guilty and explained: "The last general heard that the little demon was led out of the city, so he brought the army to him for a decisive battle, but the last general never thought that the Qing demon under the command of the little demon would be so capable of fighting." ”

"This king has no objection to you trying to surpass the little demon's combat power, but you are fighting brutally, and our soldiers are too dead and wounded." Yang Xiuqing asked casually again: "Why don't you withdraw the army and reorganize the team?" We suffer a lot from this kind of scattered attack, huh? ”

"East King Chitose, you can't withdraw! If they were withdrawn, the brothers who had died in battle would have died in vain. ”

Li Kaifang smiled bitterly, and could only quickly tell Yang Xiuqing about the previous situation, Yang Xiuqing, who had just come here from Xiaguan Water Village, nodded, and then understood Li Kaifang's distress that he did not dare to retreat the whole team. So after thinking about it for a while, Yang Xiuqing ordered: "Transfer another army, even if it is consumed today, the demon army that surpasses the little demon must be exhausted, otherwise, the battle with the surpassing demon will only be more difficult to fight in the future!" ”

Li Kaifang agreed, and was busy sending people to send an order, and dispatched the Ji Wenyuan Department of Dazhuang Mountain to come over to help in the battle, but at this time, the incident that made Li Kaifang vomit blood happened, and in the case of too heavy casualties, the Taiping army that attacked the left wing of the Wu army was defeated and fled, causing the Wu army to practice Yong cheering everywhere, and the morale of the Taiping army who attacked the front and right flank declined, and the right wing followed the defeat and fled.

In other battlefields, it is not surprising that the attacking army retreats and adjusts when it cannot be attacked for a long time, but in today's situation, the retreat adjustment of the Taiping army is equivalent to the abandonment of previous achievements, and it is also equivalent to letting the Wu army, which is too powerful in long-range firepower, practice Yong to slaughter wantonly. So after seeing this, Li Kaifang was furious, in addition to ordering the execution of the generals who took the lead in fleeing, he also promised Yang Xiuqing that he would definitely attack again, and promised that he would completely exhaust the demon soldiers who surpassed the little demon. But Yang Xiuqing shook his head, put down the binoculars and sighed and said: "There is no chance, it is not a fool to surpass the little demon, I will definitely guard against this, withdraw the troops, don't let the brothers die and be injured in vain." ”

Wu Chaoyue is indeed not a fool, he finally repelled the crazy attack of the Taiping army, Wu Chaoyue immediately ordered the rear team that was basically not affected by the enemy, covering the front team and the three outposts on both wings to transfer to the city, the well-trained Wu army practiced Yong and the rear team soldiers stepped forward in two ways, and the left and right outflanked the other three sentinels who had great physical consumption to protect the other three sentinels who consumed great physical strength, and the other three outposts of Wu Jun Lianyong contracted inward, while retreating to the city with wounded companions and carrying sacrificed comrades, and the personal soldiers were in a circle to protect Wu Chaoyue, continued to serve as a reserve for the rear team, the whole process was orderly, not to mention that the order was worlds apart from the Qing army, and directly compared the hundred battles division under Li Kaifang. -- Wu Jun's training and courage were a blank slate before he became a soldier, but after becoming Qiu Ba, he directly accepted the most advanced and scientific infantry tactics of this era, and naturally in this respect he was far superior to the self-taught Taiping army.

Seeing this picture, not to mention that Qi Suzao, Lu Jianying and others were full of praise, Xianghou couldn't help but scold the flag soldiers around him, and asked him why the flag soldiers under his command were in such a formation? And Li Kaifang was desperate in his heart, knowing that the soldiers who died today were destined to die in vain, so he nodded helplessly, and said: "Obey the decree of the Eastern King Chitose Jun, Mingjin, and collect the troops." ”

Yang Xiuqing was silent, stared at Wu Chaoyue's Wuzi banner with teeth and claws for a long time, and suddenly said: "From now on, no one is allowed to attack the Shence Gate without my will." In addition, this king will replenish 30,000 rear troops to you, let them set up more camp banners outside the Shence Gate, build more siege weapons, contact the Heaven and Earth Society in the city, and let them spread rumors, just say that our army will break the Shence Gate to avenge today's revenge, and create more momentum for our army to storm the Shence Gate, so that the Qing Demon will not dare to surpass the little demon to participate in the battle at other city gates! ”

"As for the ...... beyond the little demons." Speaking of this, Yang Xiuqing paused and snorted coldly: "When we enter Jiangning City, this king will personally lead the troops to clean him up!" ”
