For Hu Linyi, who was trapped in Guizhou, almost every day was like a year, and he didn't hear anything else, even though the constant news about the "Han rebellion" had already made him feel more and more depressed -- the 100,000 Han rebels had the potential to sweep away Liuhe, and their prestige was almost not inferior to that of the Cantonese bandits, and more importantly, it was the "Han and Guangdong confluence."

Before coming to Hubei, in Hu Linyi's view, there were only Cantonese bandits, and he never thought that there would be a "Han rebellion", but who would have thought that after entering Hubei, he learned that this "disaster" Hubei thief called himself the "Great Han Righteous Army", and had nothing to do with the Cantonese bandits who called themselves the "Taiping Army", but in the eyes of the imperial court, although the "Han rebel" stole half of Hubei, its threat was far less than that of the Cantonese bandits in Jiangning, the capital of Dingdu.

And now, this "Han rebel bandit leader Zhu Yifeng" is under the "Jiangning puppet dynasty", "Han and Guangdong confluence" under the Guangdong army westward expedition, the situation in this world is far worse than he imagined, and he does not hear that the Cantonese bandits first occupied Wuhu, and then according to Anqing, the front of the army pointed directly at Jiujiang, and then threatened Jiangxi, it is the momentum of 100,000 "Han rebels" attacking in all directions, which made him worry a lot.

"This situation is inexplicable!"

Again, studying the map on the table, Hu Linyi's brows furrowed, and his whole person only looked sullen and happy.

The situation in the world is too grim, especially the situation in Hunan, so that Hu Linyi can't be optimistic at all, although now whether it is a Han rebel or a Cantonese bandit, he has never threatened Hunan, but looking at the map, his heart is a small group, and he can't rest assured. Looking at the map, it can be clearly seen that the target of the 100,000 Cantonese bandits' westward expedition is obviously Jiangxi, if Jiangxi is occupied, then the flank of Hunan will be fully displayed in front of the Cantonese bandits, and the Han rebellion is now sharp, sending troops to northern Hubei to coerce Henan and Shaanxi, but at the same time, it has a great tendency to suppress Hunan.

Now under the confluence of Han and Guangdong, the situation in Hunan can be described as unprecedentedly tense, in case after the confluence of Han and Guangdong, the two join forces to take Hunan, then Hunan will be dangerous!

Not only is it dangerous, but it is bound to fall into the hands of thieves!

Who can save Hunan?

Hu Linyi, who was cramped and restless, paced in the room restlessly, and at this moment, he suddenly heard a report from his own soldiers.

"My lord, the messenger sent by Lord Luo from Hunan has arrived!"

What the!

As soon as he heard that the messenger sent by Luo Bingzhang from Hunan was coming, Hu Linyi was first happy, but then his heart sank, and he had no way to find it before, and he could only turn to Luo Bingzhang and Zeng Guofan, but now seeing the situation in Hunan, he hesitated a little, now, how can it be good?

Holding the handwritten letter written by Luo Bingzhang and Zeng Guofan, Hu Linyi's brows were furrowed, his expression became more and more solemn, and the sadness between his eyebrows became thicker and thicker.

Now almost all the land in Hubei is occupied by the Han rebellion, and Hunan will be attacked by two roads, so can Hunan be safeguarded?

If Hu Linyi still had some confidence when he left Guizhou, then now, after suffering a setback, he doubts whether he can suppress the Han rebellion, in fact, it is not that he doubts himself, but that the Han rebellion is too strong now.

100,000 Han rebels, millions of Cantonese bandits.

This is the reality he has to face, and judging from the news he has gotten in the past few days, the Han rebels have always won more with less than the officers and soldiers, not to mention anything else, the soldiers under the command of Lord Wu in Yicheng were more than 10,000 people, but they were defeated by thousands of Han rebels.

"The sharpness of the Han backfire weapon is beyond the reach of the Cantonese bandits, who use foreign guns and cannons, and are accustomed to foreign ......exercises."

Although it was only a few days, Hu Linyi, as a guest army, still obtained information related to the Han rebellion from all aspects, although he was like the imperial court, he did not know the origin of Zhu Yifeng, the leader of the Han rebellion, but at least he knew what the director of the Han rebellion was.

"The benefits of foreigners' firearms are far beyond the ...... of China"

Once again, Hu Linyi thought of the foreigners' tools he said when he interviewed Lin Zexu in Guizhou that year, and now the Han rebellion swept through Hubei with the benefits of foreign weapons, and thought of Lin Zexu's defeat in Guangzhou, and his mind sank again.

"Can you go to Hunan?"

When this thought and the bottom of his heart surfaced, Hu Linyi couldn't help but think of his current predicament, where could he go except Hunan?

For a while, Hu Linyi's whole person became dazed, compared to before, his mood was even heavier, and even after a while, he seemed to have figured out something, secretly thinking to himself.

"If you don't wait for the military pay to come first, you can survive this time before you ......"

For Hu Linyi, the military salary transported from Hunan is undoubtedly a life-saving straw, at least it can calm the chaotic military spirit, so that he can re-consider the long-term plan.

On the dirt road in the field, more than 100 soldiers bravely escorted several carts, driving all the way north along this official road, the big car was flag-bearing, although there were not many brave soldiers, but no one dared to provoke the officers and soldiers of the general bandits, even if it was just a brave practice, as the world knows, suppressing the bandits, these brave training is more ruthless than the green battalion soldiers, killing people is all unblinking guys, and because of this, along the way, the bandits along the way are all dodging.

However, not all of them hid, and before the officers and troops had crossed the river, they were targeted by another team that had just crossed the Yangtze River.

Originally, for Li Long, he was ordered to cross the river, but only to enter Jiangnan in advance, to prepare for the next move of the troops, and if he could, he could also wait for the opportunity to seize the city. Now the Qing army only has a few pieces of territory in Hubei, except for the garrison flag soldiers in Jingzhou, there are only a few hundred brave training in other places at most, with a battalion and more than 500 troops, there is no risk at all.

This will meet such a Qing army of more than 100 people, Li Long's heart will naturally become itchy, not to mention, for him who has just changed to rifled guns, he is thinking about finding the Qing army there to "try his skills".

"Company Commander, your company is deployed here......"

Without any hesitation, after determining the marching route of the other side, Li Long immediately set about making arrangements. The rifled gun company was deployed in the field on the flank of the official road, and the outer two companies were deployed on the other side and in front of and behind it, in short, a pocket formation of subordinates waiting for each other.

The ranks of the Qing army on the official road look very messy, because there is no need to be in front of the commander, and these Xiangyong naturally do not need to line up neatly like in front of Lord Zeng in the big camp, they are just lazy to carry the red tassel gun and walk forward, even the official Zuo who is riding on the horse is yawning.

For them, this is just an escort without any risk, and there are really no bandits who dare to provoke the official army, and as for those Han rebels, they are still far from this!

Get ready......

A soft shout in the field made Sun Da Da hurriedly press down the hammer with his thumb to make it enter the waiting state, at this time, the bullet had already entered the chamber, and when the order was given, they would stand up and shoot, shooting.

"Immediately after the shot, sprint as fast as you can, and crush the remnants of the enemy with a resolute and resolute bayonet charge......"

This is the tactic that the commanders told them again and again on the training ground - to smash the opponent's will to resist with a powerful rifle salvo, and then end the battle with a bayonet charge, which proved to be an extremely effective tactic against the Qing army, they often put the Qing army at a distance of about 20 zhang before they could shoot, a volley of hundreds of people is enough to kill hundreds of people, and before the enemy can wake up from death, the soldiers with bayonets have rushed in front of them, Harvest their lives with bayonets.

Just as Sun Da was silently reciting tactics in his heart, suddenly, a burst of cheers sounded in his ears.

"Raise your gun!"

Sun Da and the others, who were originally hiding in the field with their waists, stood up at the same time with that shout, different from the three rows of musket teams in the past, at this time they lined up in a long line, and when they stood up, they immediately aimed according to the instructions of the commander, and unlike the previous aiming, the rifled guns they used had a ruler behind them.

Three points and one line!

Unlike ordinary rifle companies, rifled gun companies are composed of soldiers selected from the battalion, and although they have only experienced a dozen or so live fires, they have basically mastered the aiming of rifles.

Rulers, crosshairs, targets!

"Aim!"

While aiming at a target and waiting for the commander's order, Sun Dacheng could see the panicked faces of the Qing soldiers on the official road, and could even hear their exclamations.

"There are bandits ......"

"Queue, queue ......"

"Put!"

With a neat burst of gunfire, Li Long, who was standing high in the middle of the two tombs in the field, saw a cloud of white smoke rising from the line formation that had already been squared, and the Qing army that was panicked and was preparing to line up fell in an instant.

"Battalion commander, do you give the order to charge!"

According to the previous tactics, it should be time to blow the trumpet, but this time, Li Long shook his head.

"Keep shooting!"

The bugle did not want to sound, and since it did not sound, the company commander naturally did not give the order to charge, but according to the past training, ordered the soldiers to lower their guns and reload.

Take out the paper medicine bag from the ammunition on your waist, bite it with your teeth, fill it with gunpowder in the muzzle, then load the projectile into the barrel, compact it throughout, and then remove the fire cap...... It took more than ten seconds to complete the entire reloading process, and by the time they finished reloading, the Qing army, which had already lost more than half of its men, had just recovered from the initial shock, and around them were the wounded who had broken their arms and legs and kept screaming, and more were corpses with blood gushing on their chests.

Just as the soldiers came to their senses, the guns rang out again, this time, more people fell, only a few people instinctively fell down, and just as they were shouting in horror, only a rapid horn sounded in the field...... (To be continued.) )
