Chapter 103: A Model of Filial Piety and Virtuous Grandson
The battle outside the south gate of Tianjin was much more difficult to fight than the Qing generals expected, and the Taiping army was defeated and retreated to the city, but Li Kaifang, who was experienced in the battlefield, sent a thousand elite soldiers early and handed them over to the chief general Huang Yiduan under his command to lead, and blocked the Qing army's charge in the west outside the south gate.
There is also the east side, although there was no direct threat of the Qing army in the east before, but Ji Wenyuan still preemptively divided an army and handed it over to the general Liu Ziming to lead, and lined up in the east to protect the retreat road, so how shameless did Seng Lingqin rob the merit, and personally led the Chahar cavalry to attack before Wu Chaoyue, but he was also stopped by Liu Ziming of the Taiping Army, and he also failed to seize the opportunity to raid the flank of the defeated Taiping army.
The next battle opened the eyes of Wu Chaoyue and Wu Jun Lianyong, the two thousand Qing troops led by Tuo Minga were known as elite soldiers, and the queue between the charges and raids was still loose and messy, just rushed to the Taiping army 100 meters in front of the formation, and couldn't wait to pick up the arquebus and raise the gun to fight, and did not move forward after the fight, continued to load and shoot in situ, the sound of shouting and killing was extremely violent, and there were quite a few people who tried to bypass the Taiping army's interception position in twos and threes, but there was no one who really dared to rush to the Taiping army. The threat to the Taiping army was almost non-existent. During this period, he probably couldn't stand the coercion of the generals, but he launched a cluster charge, but he was beaten back by the Taiping army as soon as he shot randomly, and his performance even surpassed Wu Chaoyue's Green Camp friendly army when he was in Jiangning.
Here we have to say a fair word for Shengbao and Tomin'a, the Qing army under their command at least has the courage to rush to a hundred meters and shoot at the Taiping army's muskets, during the entire Jiangning War. But there was no Jiangning Qing army that dared to go out of the city to fight the Taiping army, so Wu Chaoyue and Wu Jun practiced courage and failed to appreciate the peerless elegance of the Jiangning Qing army in the field. I felt that the Jiangning Qing army, who was hiding on the city wall and shooting stones, seemed to be more reliable.
What made Wu Chaoyue even more stunned was the Chahar cavalry under the command of our monk and prince, in order to cover the retreat of the main force. The Taiping army covered the two wings with the help of simple fortifications such as trench walls and abandoned castle towns, lined up in a horizontal line to intercept, the queue was very long, only two rows, and the firepower was also very weak, only the Taiping soldiers in the back row were equipped with arquebuses, and the Taiping soldiers in the front row could only hold cold weapons such as swords and spears to resist the cluster charge of the Chahar cavalry with their flesh and blood.
But under such circumstances, the Chahar cavalry led by the monk and the prince personally rushed to within sixty or seventy meters in front of the Taiping army. They even reined in their horses, ran back and forth to shoot arquebuses and the Taiping army, gave up the strength advantage of charging inertia, attacked the enemy's strength with their own shortcomings, and the guns they shot were also very outrageous, hundreds of arquebuses fired hundreds of shots, and there were not many Taiping soldiers who were really killed.
By the way, there are also bows and arrows, and the Chahar cavalry under the command of our monk and prince has not forgotten their ancestors' ability to sweep across the Eurasian continent. Many of the Chahar cavalry drew their bows and released their arrows, but their arrows were slow and inaccurate. It is also no less powerful, and the threat to the soldiers of the Taiping Army is less than that of arquebuses!
Seeing this scene, Wu Chaoyue could only look up to the sky and sigh secretly. With a wry smile on his face, "No wonder Li Kaifang's 20,000 Northern Expeditionary Army can fight all the way here." He also held on to the small town of Jinghai for more than half a year (nine months). Cuckold Khan, Boar Skin I II. If you really know under the spring of the eighteenth layer of hell and really see the wonderful performances of your children and grandchildren, it is estimated that you will be so angry that you will go into the nineteenth layer of hell and crash to death. β
What made Wu Chaoyue cry and laugh even more was still behind - Shengbao, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, suddenly spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and scolded: "Fuck it! Monk Greenqin deliberately wanted to make Ben Shuai ugly, dare to rush so close and shoot! Someone is coming, immediately send an order to Tomin'a, and tell him to press me up, and I must be closer to Changmao than Monk Greenqin's side! β
The herald fought a thousand songs, and just wanted to get up and leave, but Wu Chaoyue stopped him - the Taiping soldiers who went out of the city, including the baggage team, had already left the city and had passed the most dangerous moment, Wu Chaoyue didn't want to make the traces of deliberate water release too obvious, so he turned to Shengbao and said: "Dashuai, let me come, the lower officials will send a battalion to attack and defeat Changmao head-on, and your soldiers can just kill the defeated soldiers of Changmao and divide it equally with us." β
Finally caught a winning fighter, Shengbao hesitated a little unwillingly, and Zaiyuan next to him also said: "Sheng Dashuai, let Weiting go, you see that the main force of Long Hair has all gone out of the city, and if you don't defeat Long Hair quickly, Long Hair will all retreat into Tianjin City." β
Looking up at the distance ahead, he saw that the main force of the Taiping army out of the city had indeed left the city with military supplies and a few remnants of artillery, and was retreating towards the south gate of Tianjin in an orderly manner. The fighter plane was fleeting, Shengbao finally nodded helplessly, and Wu Chaoyue sent an order to Huang Dasha, the first fierce general under his command, and asked him to lead his subordinates to Lian Yong to the left flank to help Tomina. Huang Dasha, who had long been itchy, cheered and received the order, and without saying a word, he led the army to charge, and led more than 500 Wu soldiers to train Yong to launch a cluster charge.
At the same time, the generals of the Qing army, such as Shengbao, Zaiyuan, and Tuo Ming'a, of course, wanted to take the opportunity to see with their own eyes the field combat ability of the Wu army's practice bravery, and the monk Greenqin, who was hiding in the rear to supervise the battle, even ran to a place with a wide field of vision and raised a telescope to watch the Wu army's practice bravery's charge. As a result, to the surprise of Shengbao, Zaiyuan and others, and at the same time to make Seng Lingqin laugh directly, Wu Jun Lian Yong had just rushed to a place three hundred meters away from the Taiping Army, and suddenly all stopped, showing a timid appearance that was more greedy for life and afraid of death than the Qing Army Bingyong.
The ridicule of the Qing generals quickly disappeared, and after stopping 300 meters away to regroup, Wu Jun Lian Yong actually lined up in an extremely dense five-column horizontal formation, carrying a firing pin gun equipped with a snow-bright bayonet, and strode forward in a dense queue amid the rain of bullets. The artillery of the Taiping Army on the city wall of Tianjin concentrated the artillery fire on Wu Jun Lian Yong's head like crazy, but Wu Jun Lian Yong was not in the queue at all, and at the same time, a neat and loud military song sounded in the army. "How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are ...... with your son?"
The Qing soldiers were stunned. In the frantic roar of the soldiers of the Taiping Army, Wu Jun Lian Yong quickly lined up and entered within 100 meters of the enemy. The soldiers of the Taiping Army concentrated all their long-range weapons and opened fire on Wu Jun Lian Yong, Wu Jun Lian Yong was constantly shot and fell to the ground, but Wu Jun Lian Yong's queue was still not chaotic at all, and his footsteps were still neat, and he advanced little by little to within 80 meters, 70 meters, 60 meters, and 50 meters from the enemy............
In the end, it advanced to within forty meters. Huang Dasha shouted and gave the order to shoot, a round of five waves of volleys down, just now the Qing soldiers who beat the Qing soldiers bravely to the point of crying wolves and hugging their heads and rats suddenly lay down in a large area, and the rest of the Taiping soldiers ran backwards, including Huang Yiduan, a fierce general of the Taiping Army who could kick and kill the Qing soldiers with his bare hands, had to join the escape team, "Retreat!" Don't fight these crazy people! These madmen are not afraid of death at all! β
It was also after Wu Jun Lian Yong lined up to pursue for hundreds of meters that the Qing soldiers under the command of Tuo Ming'a woke up like a dream, and then without anyone giving an order, these Qing soldiers immediately charged. The speed of the roaring charge was also much faster than that of the Wu army who was advancing in formation.
Knowing the horror of Wu Junlianyong's cultivation in the field, long before Huang Dasha and Huang Yiduan engaged, Ji Wenyuan had decisively ordered to abandon the few artillery pieces that were finally rescued from the sea of fire, and returned to the city at full speed with gunpowder and other light baggage. As a result, this hand really played a huge role, and the lightly armed Taiping army returned to the city quickly, waiting for Tominga to lead the Qing army to the south gate of the city. Just biting the tail of Jiwen Yuanjun, he got some catches. It also captured many heavy burdens that the Taiping army had abandoned on their own.
Tomina has succeeded in making a breakthrough, but there is still no progress on the monk's side. Because Tuo Ming'a and Huang Dasha tacitly deliberately did not go to help Seng Greenqin, Liu Ziming's troops of the Taiping Army were lucky enough to avoid the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy before and after, and were able to deal with Seng Greenqin's army with all their might. In the end, after the main force returned to the city, the Taiping army led by Liu Ziming quickly retreated in the direction of the east gate of Tianjin, and Seng Lingqin gritted his teeth and led the Chahar cavalry to charge and pursue, but was already familiar with the virtue of the Chahar cavalry in this era The Taiping army retreated, and then quickly withdrew from the east gate of Tianjin to the city with few casualties.
After the end of the field battle, the Qing army of Tuo Ming A's department, which had successfully reaped a lot of credit, was of course shocked with joy, and surrounded Wu Jun Lian Yong led by Huang Dasha to ask long and short questions, praise each other, and constantly wonder why Wu Jun Lian Yong dared to rush to such a close place to shoot. Shengbao and Zaiyuan were also overjoyed, and expressed their admiration and praise for Wu Chaoyue. But our monk and prince were like thunder, regardless of the fact that the enemy Shengbao was also by Wu Chaoyue's side, he rushed directly to Wu Chaoyue, and asked loudly: "Wu Chaoyue, this king is at war with Changmao, why don't you send troops to help this king?" β
"Monk Wangye, when did you want me to send troops to help in the war?" Wu Chaoyue asked suspiciously: "Without your order, the lower officials sent troops without authorization, the prince, you blame it, how can the lower officials bear it?" β
After that, Wu Chaoyue hurriedly added: "Also, on the side of General Tomin'a, the prince can testify, but the lower official first obtained the consent of the commander of the victory before sending troops." Otherwise, the subordinate officials would not dare to send troops without authorization. β
"Wu Chaoyue, you ......, you ......, you ...... communiquΓ©."
Monk Greenqin was so angry that he almost raised his beard, and almost blurted out a secret relationship between him and Wu Chaoyue, and after forcibly holding back, Monk Greenqin roared again: "Then your group practice has returned to the back of the long hair, why don't you attack the back of the long hair?" β
"Lord Wang, the regimental training under the command of the lower official is for the good of you and your cavalry." Wu Chaoyue smiled and said: "On the battlefield, the bullets have no eyes, Lian Yong under the command of the lower official launched an attack on the long hair from behind, and the bullet crossed the long hair array, if the stray bullet killed and injured the cavalry under your command, how can the lower officer explain to you?" β
"Fart! Is there a musket in the world that hits that far?! Monk Grinqin roared even more.
Wu Chaoyue quietly picked up a mini gun, aimed at a lonely tree more than 100 meters away, pulled the trigger and fired a shot, and the bullet hit the trunk of the tree. When Shengbao and Zaiyuan applauded loudly, Wu Chaoyue put down the Minny gun again, smiled bitterly at Monk Greenqin and said, "Monk Wangye, have you seen it?" Facts speak louder than words, Xia Guan's Lian Yong did not attack the long hair who was fighting with you from behind, it was really for your own good. Also, the long hair outside the south gate of Tianjin just now has the possibility of launching a counterattack. The regimental training under the command of Xia Guan was ordered to cover General Tomin'a, of course, he had to stay to prevent it, right? β
The back of Monk Greenqin's hand holding the horsewhip was already bruised. Wu Chaoyue continued to slap his face, and said, "Lord Wang." In fact, you don't have to rush up directly, the regimental training of the lower officials is trained by the training methods of the foreigners, and the cavalry fights hand in hand, if you want to give full play to the power of the two armies at the same time, the only way is to imitate the hammer anvil tactics of the foreigners. (Anamorphic hammer anvil)
"What is a hammer anvil tactic? It is to let the infantry of the lower officer play the vanguard in front, and your cavalry will follow on both wings, and wait for the regimental training of the lower officer to concentrate fire to defeat the frontal enemy, and when the enemy is defeated and retreated, your cavalry will rush forward. You can kill as much as you want, just like chopping melons and vegetables, and you can cut as much as you want. Lord Wang, you didn't understand the combat characteristics of the lower officials in advance, and you didn't discuss with the lower officials when the incident happened, so you rushed up directly with the cavalry, blocking the way of the lower officials' attacks, and the lower officials couldn't help you even if they wanted to. β
"What a tactic! I can't imagine that there are such exquisite infantry and cavalry tactics in the Yangyi army! Sheng Bao shouted exaggeratedly next to him, and couldn't wait to pat Wu Chaoyue's shoulder and said, "Comfort Pavilion." In the future, but there will be a field battle, I will send Delek Selen to lead the cavalry to help you, and let him obey your command, if he does not listen to you. I'll clean him up for you! β
"Thank you for the victory, with the help of the commander's cavalry, the lower official is like a tiger."
Wu Chaoyue's thanks were both deliberately angry monk Greenqin. It is also somewhat sincere -- at least it can allow Wu Jun to practice courage and take the opportunity to practice horsemanship, so as to lay the first foundation for the formation of Wu Army's cavalry in the future. The monk over there was so angry that his whole body trembled. Pointing at Wu Chaoyue with a horsewhip, he couldn't say a word, "Wu Chaoyue." You give ......, and you give it to the king, waiting to hear ....... β
"Monk Wangye, you should wait and listen to the ginseng!" Zaiyuan next to him couldn't bear it anymore completely, and roared angrily: "Monk Greenqin, what did you secretly send Tong Jian to say to Xilinghe and Shanlu, both of them are truthful!" If you have the time to impeach Lord Wu, let's first think about how to defend the impeachment of the commander and the court's accountability for you! β
His face turned pale, and Seng Lingqin hurriedly denied it, pretending to say that he didn't know anything about these things, but Zaiyuan had already despised him to the bones, and just beckoned Shengbao and Wu Chaoyue to collect their troops and return to the camp, and prepare a banquet to celebrate this great victory out of the city. And Monk Greenqin became more and more weak in his heart, and couldn't help but sneak a few peeks at Wu Chaoyue, and kept thinking in his heart............
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After Wu Jun Lian Yong returned to the camp in triumph, the first thing Shengbao did was to send someone to Wu Chaoyue to bring many pigs and sheep rewards, and set up a banquet in the Chinese army's big tent, and took the lead in raising a glass to toast Wu Chaoyue. And the generals and soldiers of the Qing army also said this time that they would not dare to be jealous of the special preferential treatment obtained by Wu Junlianyong, and the generals of the Qing army also rushed to toast Wu Chaoyue, complimenting them in every way, and rushing to express their hope that they could join forces with Wu Chaoyue in the future - by the way, Wu Chaoyue, who did not like to drink in the army, refused again, but he was still half drunk, and he was not able to get out with the help of Zaiyuan until it was slightly dark.
With the smell of wine back to the barracks, first very dutifully inspected the camp, Wu Chaoyue returned to his big tent to rest, but before he entered the tent, Zhao Liewen immediately greeted him, and whispered to Wu Chaoyue: "Monk Greenqin sent someone to ask you to talk in his camp, the person who came has not left since the afternoon." β
"What did he talk to me about?" Wu Chaoyue asked suspiciously.
Zhao Liewen spread his hands and said that he didn't know, and then said in a low voice: "In my opinion, it's better for you to keep a certain distance from him, now that you have made it clear that the carriage and horse want to stand with Shengbao, if you go to see him in private, if Shengbao knows, I am afraid that your investment in Shengbao will be in danger of losing your efforts." β
Wu Chaoyue didn't like the hardcore traitorous monk Greenqin who had been deliberately getting along with him, and after listening to Zhao Liewen's persuasion, Wu Chaoyue, who had already drunk a lot of wine, of course pretended to be drunk and asked Zhao Liewen to come forward to send the envoy sent by Monk Greenqin. However, to Wu Chaoyue's surprise, although the messenger was stupid and left, but in the early morning of the next day, the soldiers suddenly came to report, saying that it was Monk Greenqin who came to visit the camp, although Wu Chaoyue wondered why Monk Greenqin, who had always been bigger than ********, would use the word visit, but he couldn't see it, so Wu Chaoyue had no choice but to go to the camp in person and politely invited Monk Greenqin into his tent to sit down.
Monk Greenqin obviously came with something on his mind, after entering the big tent, he and Wu Chaoyue had a few polite words, and Monk Greenqin hinted that Wu Chaoyue wanted to drive away the outsiders in the tent, but Wu Chaoyue stopped this time, and said: "Lord Wang, here are my close confidants, if you have anything to say, please say it directly, please rest assured, their mouths are very solid." β
"No, tell them all to go out, this king has a private matter to talk to you about!"
Monk Greenqin's attitude was extremely resolute, Wu Chaoyue hesitated again, quietly touched the revolver he was carrying, and then ordered everyone in the tent to go out, and Monk Greenqin also drove away the servants he brought, and then asked Wu Chaoyue in a very strange tone: "Comfort Ting, do you hate me very much?" β
"Lord, what do you mean by that? Why does the lower official hate you? Wu Chaoyue asked confusedly.
"Don't pretend!" Monk Greenqin's true nature was revealed, and he said angrily: "This king tore up your birthday, scolded your grandfather for his unpleasant words, tore up your grandfather's handwritten letter, and asked someone to beat the people sent by your grandfather out of the door, can you not hate me?" If you don't hate me, after you arrive in Tianjin, you can target this king everywhere? β
"Huh?!" Wu Chaoyue was completely confused, and said in surprise: "Lord Wang, what did you say?" Why can't the lower officials understand? β
"What else are you pretending?" Anger began to appear on Monk Greenqin's face, and he shouted: "This king admits that this king has taken a blind eye to you!" It's okay to write to your grandfather, or you can make your own decisions, and then send someone to the king's mansion to ask for relatives, is it okay for the king to agree this time? β
Wu Chaoyue opened his mouth and stammered, and after looking at Monk Greenqin stupidly for a long time, a dusty past suddenly appeared in Wu Chaoyue's mind, so that Wu Chaoyue couldn't help but blurt out: "Lord Wang, did my grandfather really send someone to your house to ask for a kiss?" As a result, not only did you not agree, but you also ripped my birthday and beat my family's marriage proposal? β
"You don't know?" Finally, it was Monk Greenqin's turn to be dumbfounded.
"I don't know, I really don't know." Wu Chaoyue hurriedly explained honestly, and then said more quickly: "Lord Wang, let's not mention this matter, I have already made a marriage, and now I have a fiancΓ©e, you are not willing to let your daughter be my concubine, right?" β
Monk Greenqin stood up, glared at Wu Chaoyue with anger on his face, and his furious appearance frightened Wu Chaoyue to quietly touch the gun, but fortunately, Monk Greenqin finally chose to leave with his sleeves up, but when he turned around, Monk Greenqin dropped another sentence, "The surname is Wu, we will not die in the future!" β
"Accompany you to the end." Wu Chaoyue agreed in his heart, and said secretly in his heart: "I didn't expect that my grandfather really didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he really sent someone to propose marriage to this monk Greenqin." However, since you dare to scold my grandfather, then I also helped my grandfather out of his bad breath! I didn't mean to help my grandfather get angry and take revenge, I can be regarded as the first model of filial piety in the world. (To be continued.) )
