Heaven and earth Guangxi wolf!

If it was when the Taiping Army just walked out of the mountains of Guangxi, the whole world would not dare to say that, at least on Chinese soil, the Taiping Army in the mountains claimed to be the second in China, and that army did not dare to say that it was the first!

Even if it has been diluted several times, there are not many old people left in Guangxi at the time of the Jintian Uprising, and they are already rare in many Taiping troops, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and under the drive and training of these core backbones, the Taiping Army is still an army that is very good at mountain warfare, and many of the second-line troops of the Wu Army dare not compare with it at all. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Shi Dakai's nephew Huang Guisheng's army is in a better situation, among the more than 1,000 people, fifty or sixty people are veterans of Guangxi, and hundreds of people are poor people in the mountainous areas who joined the Taiping Army in Hunan.

Shi Dakai did not pick others, but designated his nephew's army to be responsible for capturing Maoshantou, in addition to the fact that Huang Guisheng's army was better equipped, another important reason was that Shi Dakai knew very well that Huang Guisheng's army could fight mountain warfare, and he was more sure than others to regain a foothold in Maoshantou from the soldiers of the Wu army who had not yet gained a firm foothold.

Facts have proved that Shi Dakai's vision is still very unique, Huang Guisheng did not rely on having a good uncle to get to today's second ancestor, after taking the people and horses of the headquarters into the mountain, in the case of thorns and rocks everywhere There is no way out, Huang Guisheng's department only took ten minutes to easily climb over the low mountain that blocked the road, and then quickly passed through more thorns and rocks and ditches and mountain streams, approaching the foot of Maoshan Mountain.

What surprised Huang Guisheng happened, his army was already moving fast, but the Wu army on the mountain was even faster, not only had rushed to the top of Maoshan Mountain to seize the highest point, but also quickly controlled almost all the key points of the mountain road with great experience, including several key positions that only insiders know that they could climb and pass. Huang Guisheng, who has been rolling and crawling on the battlefield for many years, also immediately came to a correct conclusion, "The demon soldiers on the mountain are also good at mountain and forest warfare!" ”

Knowing that the enemy was proficient in mountain warfare, there was no way, in order to take the best position on Maoshan Mountain, Huang Guisheng immediately commanded the army to launch an attack, more than 400 Taiping army mountain warfare experts marched in groups of five, using the cover of trees, stones and rock walls to quickly climb up, flexible as apes, and the brigade shouted and cheered at the bottom of the mountain, distracting the attention of the Wu army while waiting for the opportunity to charge.

The two sheep of the Yunnan army and the Guizhou army are fighting head-to-head, even if they are holding the same weapon, the Wu army and Wu Spontaneous Division, which are already relatively capable of fighting in Guizhou, will never be the opponent of the Taiping Army's division of a hundred battles! Not only did Wu Chaoyue know this very well in his heart, but even Wu Spontaneously, who had fought with the Taiping Army in Hunan before, also admitted it frankly.

But fortunately, the terrain is too favorable for the Wu Army's Wu Spontaneous Department, the mountain road is dangerous, and there is a condescending advantage, and the Guizhou Wu Army, which is extremely familiar with this terrain, can effectively attack the Taiping Army by shooting and smashing stones. Under the command of Wu spontaneously, the soldiers of the Wu army successively pushed the big stones on the mountain down the mountain, rolling stones rumbled, and constantly and accurately smashed the Taiping soldiers who climbed up, hitting the enemy to pieces, and if they missed, they could also destroy the roads and trees, increasing the difficulty of the Taiping army's climbing, and the Taiping soldiers had no power to fight back except for trying to dodge, so they could only desperately climb up and strive for the opportunity to fight with the Wu army.

The Taiping army obviously underestimated the mountain warfare ability of the Wu army in Guizhou, when they paid a lot of casualties and finally entered the range of muskets in large numbers, a large number of slightly smaller stones suddenly rolled down the mountain, dense like hail raindrops, and there were several key positions on the road sounded the sound of explosions, blowing up a number of large stones and rolling down, booming and rolling like a landslide tsunami, splitting their heads and covering their faces quickly smashed into the Taiping soldiers, the Taiping soldiers were caught off guard and suffered a big loss, and were immediately stoned to death and injured many people. The momentum of the charge was almost wiped out.

And then of course, there was a loud gunshot, the Guizhou Wu army equipped with a flintlock pistol although the marksmanship was bad, but it had learned to shoot cross-fire on its own in many years of mountain warfare, there was no stupid direct shooting of the enemy behind the number of stones on the opposite side, just as far as possible to aim at the enemy with the two wings exposed, covering each other to shoot, but the effect received was better than direct shooting at the enemy opposite, the Taiping army hiding behind the trees and rocks could not hide, and was shot again and again, no matter how much they fired back, they could not suppress the Wu army's firepower, on the contrary, there were casualties one after another.

There were also many experienced Taiping soldiers who took up the idea of two wings of the rock wall, and quietly climbed up with the help of vines growing on the rock wall, in a vain attempt to detour back to the flank of the Wu army to help break through head-on. Unfortunately, they ran into the equally experienced Wu army in Guizhou, when they climbed up the rock in large numbers, the top of the rock wall that had been quiet and silent before was suddenly full of people, and many Wu soldiers wearing white hats suddenly appeared from behind the grass and rocks, either picking up the stones and smashing them or shooting them directly, and there were even more vicious direct slashing knives to cut off the vines that were crumbling under force, causing the Taiping soldiers who grabbed these vines to scream and roll down, either dead or injured.

Seeing that the situation was not good at the bottom of the mountain, Huang Guisheng had no choice, so Huang Guisheng could only quickly send the army up the mountain to strengthen the offensive, and also relied on his life to fill in the first interception line set up by the Wu army on the mountainside, but the soldiers of the Wu army had just given up the first line of defense and moved up the mountain, and the second line of defense of the Wu army was already smashed down one after another, and some bitter acid grenades that were not willing to be used before were also thrown down, and they were smashed with explosions, and once again beat the Taiping soldiers who feinted to attack upwards to cry wolf, and suffered heavy casualties.

"Shame on your mother! Meet the insider! ”

Seeing this scene, Huang Guisheng finally determined that he was unlucky to encounter a large group of mountain warfare masters, originally judging by the number of weapons and grenades of the Wu army on the mountain, Huang Guisheng can also basically determine that the enemy on the mountain is actually not difficult, as long as he gives himself enough time, it is not hopeless to take Maoshan Mountain. But......

"Go to report to the Wing King that he is 8,000 years old, just say that the terrain of Maoshan is steep, and the demon soldiers on the mountain are very good at fighting in the mountains and forests, and it will definitely take a lot of time to take Maoshan Tou, please decide whether to continue the attack on the Wing King?" But Huang Guisheng had to ask his uncle Shi Dakai's opinion first.

…………

When Huang Guisheng's report was sent to Shi Dakai, the situation on the battlefield of Wu Heiwa, which was once indistinguishable, had also become clearer, and after receiving reinforcements from two routes, Liu Mingchuan, the Wu army, who had fallen into a bitter battle because of too light on the enemy, gradually stabilized his position, withstood the crazy attack of the Taiping army with the help of the firepower of the reinforcements, and gradually recovered many positions. At the same time, the soldiers of the Wu Army, who had been firmly in control of the high ground on the side of the road, also drove away the Taiping soldiers who had attacked the top of the mountain with pistols and machetes after their vision was wide at dawn, and began to restore the ideal state of killing the enemy with long-range fire.

There are still some Taiping troops who refuse to withdraw from the Wu army's Wu Heiwa position, and they are still biting part of the Wu army under the leadership of Lai Yuxin and Peng Dashun, but not to mention themselves, even Shi Dakai, who was watching the battle from a distance, can see that they are just doomed to a useless dying struggle, and it is only a matter of time before they are killed and retreated by the increasingly powerful Wu army.

In such a situation, he received a report from Huang Guisheng that he didn't know when he would be able to take Maoshantou, of course Shi Dakai had to worry a lot about how much he was worried, how blue and black his face was, and he didn't know how to be good.

"Stick to the spot and buy time for Huang Guisheng? It's impossible, there is still hope that Budaichong can hold on to this side, Wu Heiwa is in the hands of the demon soldiers, and the demon soldiers have the initiative on the northern front, they launch an attack, and we have no danger to defend at all. ”

"All into the mountains? The terrain in the mountains is so complicated that it won't take long for so many people to go into the mountains and they will be in chaos by themselves, and they can't bring grain and grass with them. Moreover, the mountainous area in this area is too small, even if you go in, you can't lurk, sooner or later it will be a dead end, and there is no chance of breaking through. ”

"Going to Tuanshan ...... is a dead end, but at least it can give the soldiers a little foothold to rest......

Considering that the soldiers of the self-army have not rested for a day and two nights, the decline in physical strength is too serious, and there is no danger to defend here in Liujiawan, although he knows that going to Tuanshan is a dead end, Shi Dakai still drank this cup of wine to quench his thirst, and shouted: "Order the whole army to move to Tuanshan and go to Tuanshan to set up camp and rest." ”

It is still Shi Dakai who personally led the army to the palace, but the retreat of the Taiping army can no longer be complete and orderly, on the contrary, it is still very chaotic, because in the case of open vision, the Taiping army has just begun to retreat, and the Wu army that has been killed in the east and north has already begun a large-scale pursuit, shouting the slogan of capturing Shi Dakai and striding forward, and the Taiping army, whose morale collapsed, is no longer willing to fight, and the top and bottom are only concerned about fleeing in the direction of Tuanshan, constantly abandoning military weapons and baggage, and the generals of the Taiping army cannot be restrained at all.

Fortunately, the road was not far, and the Wu army did not send troops in advance to seize the Tuanshan position within a radius of more than 100 meters, and most of the Taiping Army Brigade finally fled to Tuanshan to gain a foothold, and also relied on the favorable terrain of Tuanshan surrounded by water on three sides and Shi Dakai's personal leadership of the army hall, temporarily blocked the Wu army's pursuers, and barely won a little time to breathe. But even so, the more than 20,000 Taiping troops that Shi Dakai led to Poyang Lake are now only more than sixty percent left, and most of the elite soldiers are wounded, and they are exhausted from top to bottom.

What's worse is that the Taiping army, which fled to the Tuanshan battlefield and gasped for breath, still had despair on their faces, because the Taiping army all knew that their own army had no way out, there were lakes blocking the three directions of east, west and south, and the land in the north was blocked by the Wu army, and the Wu army did not need to launch an attack at all, but only needed to block the land road and cover the narrow Tuanshan position with naval artillery fire, and the rest of the Taiping army had to die without a place to bury.

"The king's direct army is responsible for defending against the enemy, and the rest of the army should seize the time to rest, prepare enough dry food, and break through after dark!"

Shi Dakai didn't dare to expect his army to be able to hold the Tuanshan position for a long time, so he could only pin all his hopes on breaking through at night after the soldiers recovered their physical strength. But what made Shi Dakai desperate was that after the Wu army adjusted the army, he immediately began to dig trenches and build fortifications, and had already put on a posture of trapping his own army in Tuanshan.

Lai Yuxin, a general with a bloody gauze on his face, appeared beside Shi Dakai and said in a low voice: "The Wing King is eight thousand years old, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to break through at night, the north side of Tuanshan is too narrow, and it is easy for the demon soldiers to build a fortification before dark, and with the cover of water artillery fire, the chance that we can rush out is pitiful." ”

Shi Dakai didn't have any expression, and only after a long time did he ask, "Do you have a way?" ”

"The last general thought about it and felt that there was only one last way to surrender." Lai Yuxin replied in a low voice.

"How do you surrender?" Shi Dakai asked.

"Find a soldier who looks like you, let him wear the clothes of the Winged King 8,000 years old, and pick a few brothers who are willing to die." Lai Yuxin said in a low voice: "When the sky is slightly dark, first let our soldiers prepare for the move, and then put the fake Wing King 8,000 years old in front of the demon soldiers, just say that we are ready to surrender, I am afraid that the Wing King 8,000 years old You will give the transcendence demon as a gift to the demon soldiers, and deceive the demon soldiers up and down to be careless, and then suddenly make a move, we may still have a chance of life." ”

Lai Yuxin's proposal is not so much a strategy, but a way to do it, Shi Dakai, who has no choice, hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement, but just when the loyal Lai Yuxin immediately went down to do it, Shi Daxin flashed such a thought in his heart, "If the deception fails, and it completely angers the Transcendence Little Demon, what about these old brothers who have followed me for many years?" ”
