Li Xiucheng has never been a cruel and murderous person, and he knows that victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and he rarely surrenders because his generals have suffered defeats, let alone like Yang Xiuqing, who executes the generals of the Taiping Army who lost battles at every turn.

But there was no way, the Taiping army lost too badly in the night attack of Changgang, and it was too embarrassing to lose - more than 2,000 soldiers armed with muskets were killed by more than 70 Wu soldiers with machetes, axes, and cold weapons, and hundreds of dead and wounded, and a fort and a cannon were lost. The shame has reached this point, if Li Xiucheng does not deal with Li Yongjin, the general who commands the troops to fight, not to mention that he can't explain to Hong Xiuquan, who is eager for victory, and he can't explain to the soldiers of the Taiping Army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!

Therefore, the next morning, the head of Li Yongjin, the third inspector of the left side of the Zhongdian, was hung on Li Xiucheng's Chinese army gate to show the public, and at the same time, the flag bearer who lost the military flag and several Taiping army generals who took the lead in fleeing for their lives were beheaded. However, even so, Li Xiucheng was still angry, and shouted: "Speed up the preparations, launch an attack this afternoon, and hit the demon barracks in Changgang first!" This king wants to see what kind of three-headed and six-armed demon soldiers are in that camp! ”

When Li Xiucheng let out this roar, Feng Sanbao, Li Hezhang, Ding Baozhen and other senior civil and military officers of the Wu army were still in the Yuhuatai camp, and Zhang Er King Kong was puzzled, because by identifying the enemy's corpses, the Wu army had confirmed that the Taiping soldiers who participated in the battle in the night attack on Changgang last night were all young and strong soldiers, and although the muskets they were equipped with were not very advanced, they were not too bad - at least not worse than the equipment of the Wu army in Guizhou. Therefore, Feng Sanbao, Li Hezhang and others also broke their heads and couldn't understand why the Guizhou Wu army, whose strength was only second-rate among the various units of the Wu army, could fight so beautifully? A dissatisfied sentinel can kill at least a thousand Taiping troops, and also take an enemy fort?

"Isn't Longhair good at hand-to-hand combat? Our Guizhou soldiers happen to be good at hand-to-hand combat, that's why they fight so beautifully? ”

Li Hezhang guessed a reasonable possibility, but Feng Sanbao, who had fought hand-to-hand combat with the Taiping Army, immediately refuted: "Nonsense! Long Hair is famous for being good at hand-to-hand combat, when I was in Tianjin, I took Xie Zhuang's martial arts experts to fight hand-to-hand combat with them, and I was almost killed by their commandos, and when Zhennan Wang was in Jiangning and Tianjin, he was also the most headache and Longhair fought hand-to-hand combat. ”

I once heard my father and brother say that the Taiping Army was good at hand-to-hand combat, Li Hezhang of course didn't dare to refute Feng Sanbao's assertion, so he could only change his words and say: "Then it can only be that we were lucky last night, and we happened to meet a long-haired general who was greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

"That's how it should be." Ding Baozhen, who is also from Guizhou, is very good at destroying his own prestige, and said: "The long-haired general surnamed Li who lost the battle last night is surnamed Li and Li Xiucheng is the same surname and the same clan, maybe they are still relatives, and they rely on nepotism as a pseudo-checkpoint, but they actually don't know how to fight at all, so they lost so badly." ”

Feng Sanbao and Li Hezhang nodded together, both agreeing with Ding Baozhen's analysis, but Wu Dayuan, who was lent to his father-in-law by Wu Chaoyue next to him, suddenly said something like this, saying: "It is possible to rely on relatives to become a pseudo-inspection point." But Li Xiucheng's big long hair can't be so confused that he sent a checkpoint who had never fought a war to fight the night battle that was most likely to make mistakes? ”

Feng Li Ding and the others were completely speechless, and after a long time, Li Hezhang said cautiously: "Uncle, if not, the next time Longhair attacks, we will have a special commando team that is good at hand-to-hand combat, and find an opportunity to cover their attack with guns and cannons, and see what kind of effect they can play, and then we will understand everything." ”

Feng Sanbao didn't think about it, he immediately nodded in agreement, and said to himself: "If Li Xiucheng's long-haired soldiers are really not good at hand-to-hand combat, then there is hope for our decisive battle, there is nothing else in my army, but there are many soldiers who are good at hand-to-hand combat." ”

Because Li Xiucheng decided to launch a retaliatory attack on the Wu army's Changgang camp that afternoon, the opportunity for the test was of course quickly put in front of Feng Sanbao and others, and it was just noon, and the Wu army scouts found signs that the Taiping army was about to launch a large-scale attack. Try to understand the melee ability of Li Xiucheng's Taiping army.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the Taiping troops participating in the battle entered the position under the personal command of Li Xiucheng and waited for orders, and then, in accordance with the offensive tactics that have become popular on the Chinese battlefield, they first prepared with artillery fire, concentrated artillery fire on the Changgang camp of the Wu army, and bombarded solid shells of different sizes into the camp of Zhao Bingming's troops of the Wu army, and for the first time used black powder flowering shells on the Nanjing battlefield to frantically attack Zhao Bingming's troops of the Wu army, which had caused great humiliation on the Taiping army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang last night.

The Wu army Changgang camp was therefore quickly shrouded in a raging fire and smoke, and in the earth-shattering explosion, one after another the cannonballs roared into the Wu army camp, and the solid cannonballs bounced on the ground, where they passed, the Wu army's camp tent collapsed, the fence was shattered, and the Wu soldiers who were unfortunately hit by the cannonballs were all broken and fractured, and the five organs were shattered; The power of the flowering cannonball is even more terrifying, whether it is a landing explosion or an explosion in the air, countless sharp shrapnel will be fired, and once the surrounding Wu soldiers are shot by shrapnel, they will either be killed or injured, and even more directly blown up by the flowering cannonball.

Since following Zhao Dechang to the battlefield to suppress bandits, Zhao Bingming led the Guizhou Wu Army soldiers have never encountered such a fierce artillery fire covering, under the lack of experience, many Guizhou Wu Army officers and soldiers because they do not know how to dodge the flower cannonballs and unfortunately died tragically, and many soldiers were suddenly jumped up solid shells to death and wounded, the number of casualties rose rapidly, only a dozen front-loading smoothbore guns were also quickly dupped under the focus of the Taiping Army's artillery fire, lost the ability to fight back, There was also a cannon that happened to be hit by the flowering shell of the Taiping army when it was charged, and the gunpowder exploded directly and blew up the artillery, and several Wu gunners next to it were all killed.

The other batteries of the Wu army on the Yuhuatai were also struggling to fire back, but it was still the same sentence, the accuracy of the front-loading smoothbore guns was too poor and the rate of fire was too slow, and they could not suppress the Taiping artillery that had an absolute advantage in numbers, and the covering effect was never great. Therefore, the soldiers of the Wu army in the Changgang camp can only pray for God's blessing with mud and dust on their faces behind the sheep and horses or after the anti-artillery fortifications, and the flowering shells of the Taiping army must not explode behind them or above their heads, and they are suppressed by the artillery fire of the Taiping army without any power to fight back.

After the artillery fire was prepared for a full hour, the infantry of the Taiping Army finally had a move, under the personal command of Li Xiucheng, no less than 3,000 Taiping soldiers divided into two roads, respectively from the southwest two directions to launch a charge to the Wu army Changgang camp, the Wu army artillery hurriedly concentrated firepower to suppress, but the terrain was open, the old-fashioned front-loading smoothbore gun could not blast out the flowering bomb, no matter how the solid bullet bounced, the power was far less than the flowering bomb, plus the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Taiping Army was very familiar with artillery warfare, and saw the shell landing immediately to avoid the artillery, Therefore, the artillery suppression of the Wu army was always ineffective, and it only forced the Taiping army to move forward with a hundred bird formations, and could not use dense horizontal formations to attack.

Seeing this scene in the telescope, Feng Sanbao also understood that the test of the Changgang camp of the self-army was coming, and it was likely to give people the opportunity to rush into the camp by the Taiping army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and said to himself, "It's okay, when Changmao rushes into the Changgang camp, whether Li Xiucheng's army with big hair can fight hand-to-hand combat, you will know immediately." ”

After shouting and rushing to the side of the Wu army's encampment trench, they immediately shot the Wu soldiers on the opposite side of the trench with muskets, and threw hand-held incendiary bombs and gunpowder barrels at the Wu soldiers hiding behind the sheep and horse walls, exploding and burning the enemy. The Tubaozi of the Wu army in Guizhou, who had rarely encountered this kind of attack before, could not find an effective means of countermeasures, so he could only hide behind the sheep and horse wall to find an opportunity to shoot, and shoot at the Taiping army through the trench, and at the same time, he was also mentally prepared to be rushed through the trench by the Taiping army to fight in close combat.

The action of the Taiping army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was not fast, and it took nearly half an hour to shoot at the Wu army on the opposite side of the trench, and then the first trench bridge car was erected on the Wu army's trench, and then there was still no rush to charge through the trench, but the knife was sharpened without mistake, and the woodcutter continued to erect the trench bridge car, and some Wu soldiers behind the sheep and horse wall ventured to get up and shoot to stop, although some Taiping soldiers were also killed, but correspondingly, there were also a few Wu soldiers who ventured to get up were killed by the Taiping army's muskets, The Taiping army's trench and bridge vehicles are still on the Wu army's camp trench more than two meters wide.

Finally, no less than 20 trench bridge vehicles were finally all set up on the trench of the Wu army's guard camp, Zhao Bingming in the camp helplessly ordered the soldiers to prepare for close combat, and Feng Sanbao in the distance also hurriedly ordered the reserve team to prepare for an attack, so that they could be dispatched at any time to rescue the Changgang camp that was already in danger. However......

However, Feng Sanbao soon found himself extremely dumbfounded to find that he was worried in vain, after a large number of trench bridges and vehicles were built on the trench, the Taiping army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was shouting and launched a charge, but after they rushed through the trench and jumped on the sheep and horse wall, they were immediately cut down by the soldiers of the Wu army in Guizhou with knives and axes, screaming and falling into the trench behind them, occasionally a few Taiping soldiers were lucky enough to rush through the sheep and horse wall, and in the blink of an eye were also cut and chopped by the Wu soldiers who were good at close combat and occupied the advantage of local forces, and there was almost no power to fight back in hand-to-hand combat.

What made Feng Sanbao even more dumbfounded was still behind, at most he was only cut down by Wu soldiers about 30 people, the Taiping army had already taken the initiative to give up the trench charge, the Taiping soldiers on the trench bridge shouted and retreated in embarrassment, and the Taiping soldiers who had rushed through the trench even crawled and fled back to the opposite side of the trench, and the Taiping army brigade in the rear hurriedly fired continuously, as if they were afraid that the Wu soldiers would take advantage of the situation to counterattack and retreat through the trench. Seeing this scene, Feng Sanbao, who was already considered experienced in a hundred battles, suddenly exclaimed, "How is it possible? Li Xiucheng's long-haired army, why does it really seem that they are really not good at hand-to-hand combat? ”

Feng Sanbao quickly overturned the conclusion he had just come to - the Taiping army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was not only not good at hand-to-hand combat, but was obviously afraid of hand-to-hand combat! Later, the Taiping army that stormed the Wu army camp repeatedly rushed through the trench many times, each time it was directly cut back by the Guizhou Wu army in the Changgang camp with cold weapons, and escaped from the trench in embarrassment, and it was rare for the Taiping soldiers to directly cross the sheep and horse wall and rush into the Wu army camp, even if there was, there was no power to fight back in front of the Guizhou Wu army soldiers who had been professionally slashing people for many years, and they were chopped into pieces in a blink of an eye.

In addition, the meticulous Li Hezhang and Ding Baozhen also quickly reminded Feng Sanbao of another important situation of the Taiping army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang - they were not good at fighting protracted battles, and they took the initiative to retreat after charging through the trenches every time. And after discovering this, Feng Sanbao was naturally even more confused, and said suspiciously: "What's the matter?" How did Longhair become so incapable of hand-to-hand combat? ”

Feng Sanbao is confused, Li Xiucheng is even more confused than Feng Sanbao! Because Li Xiucheng knows very well what the Taiping army he sent into battle is, on the battlefield of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, these Taiping soldiers are absolutely invincible in front of the Qing army and local regimental training, roaring and often cutting down the Qing army and regimental training to the back, ghosts crying wolves, and at the same time on the battlefield in Shanghai, these Taiping troops participating in the battle can also suppress the second-line army of the Shanghai Wu Army in close combat, and they fight equally well, how come they arrived on Yuhuatai today, facing a group of poorly equipped Wu soldiers, How did these Taiping soldiers suddenly become as if they couldn't fight?

"Send someone to the front and ask Chen Defeng, how did his army fight? How did you get to this point?! ”

Confused, Li Xiucheng could only quickly send someone forward to the front line to question the front-line commander Chen Defeng about the reason for the weakness of the attack, but Chen Defeng replied to Li Xiucheng like this, saying: "Please return to the loyal king Chitose, we have met the elite of the demon soldiers, all of them will not retreat, stubborn and brave, so we are fighting so hard." Please be gracious to King Chung Chitose and allow the general to temporarily withdraw the troops from the front line to reorganize the army, and also ask King Chung Chitose to give us some artillery cover. ”

Considering that the elite of the Wu army he encountered in Shanghai was indeed extremely brave, Li Xiucheng accepted Chen Defeng's explanation and request, allowed Chen Defeng to temporarily retreat and reorganize the army, and at the same time ordered the artillery team to continue firing artillery and once again cover the Wu army camp with intensive artillery fire. As a result, after the retreat gong sounded, the soldiers of the Taiping Army on the front line seemed to hear the sound of heaven, and retreated to the rear like a tide in a blink of an eye, and various accents also sounded among the crowd of soldiers......

"It's finally time to withdraw, it's okay, Allah is smeared, smeared."

"Quick, my cannon is firing, and I am being beaten by my cannon to cry out."

"Later, what do I do? What does I do? Want to slap high? ”

Correspondingly, of course, the soldiers of the Wu army in the Wu army camp were also shouting and shouting, "Long hair is going to fire again!" Dodge! Dodge! Dodge the cannon for Lao Tzu! A few people will lift all the long-haired trenches into the ditch, don't let the long-haired ones rush over directly! ”

"Holy shit, you don't have a lot of blood and don't cover it, do you want to go back to see the mother-in-law doll? Don't move to Lao Tzu! Grit your teeth! Pull ——! ”

"Brother! Elder brother! Dad is still waiting for us to return to the gram in Qinglong, why don't you move? Don't move? The long hair of the dog's day, Lao Tzu must avenge my brother! Avenge! ”

Seeing the panicked retreat of the Taiping army, the breech guns of the Wu army, which had been silent for the past few days, suddenly opened fire, and successively bombarded the people of the Taiping army with bitter acid flowering shells, and the Taiping army was suddenly in chaos, giving up the formation and fleeing for their lives. Zhao Bingming saw that there was an opportunity, so he decisively ordered a counter-charge, the Wu army reserve in the Changgang camp roared and killed directly from the two camp gates in the west and south, chasing and slashing the Taiping army with knives and axes, the two Taiping armies collapsed together, trampling and pushing each other and running for their lives with messy legs, from top to bottom, no one thought of turning back to face the battle, intercepting the Wu army's pursuers, holding their heads just shouting and fleeing, in broad daylight, they trampled to death a lot of their own soldiers, and the Wu soldiers who chased and killed with cold weapons were like tigers descending the mountain, Once again, the Taiping army was cut to the point of ghosts crying wolves, and corpses were scattered all over the field.

Seeing this scene in the telescope, Feng Sanbao, who still didn't understand the reason, scratched his head again and said suspiciously: "What's wrong?" In the past, we were afraid of melee combat, and Longhair desperately wanted to fight hand-to-hand combat, but now how is it completely reversed, and it has become that Longhair is afraid of hand-to-hand combat, and we are good at hand-to-hand combat with knives and knives?
