Chapter 895: Long live
With the sound of war drums, nearly 20,000 Taiping troops rushed out at the same time, some of which were Qing troops a few days ago, but at this moment they were wearing the clothes of the Taiping army, and the big horns followed the military flag and marched forward.

King. The auxiliary minister's horse was given to Zhou Shixiang, who would ride a pure black war horse, still walking in the front, and the red tasseled spear in his hand told everyone that he was the "West Road Horse Harrier".
King. The assistant minister is a bit selfish, and since he took over the command of the cavalry, he wants to steal the limelight from the infantry. He pulled out all the five thousand cavalry, and the four hooves of the war horse flew to the sound of the war drums, and the ground trembled slightly. From the Tianzhong Tower, the visual impact of the large cavalry phalanx running through the column is very shocking.
Zhou Shixiang sat quietly on the white horse, breathing rhythmically in and out with the sound of drums. The march of the army in front of him brought him pride, and now this army that made him proud was about to enter the battlefield again, and he believed that this battle would be the last battle of the battle to cross the river. After this battle, there are no more soldiers and horses in the world that can threaten this army.
Go home.
Zhou Shixiang knew that many sons and daughters in this army wanted to go home, they had fought for too long and were too tired. He also wants to go home, but he can't go home as a wounded, even if he is injured, he has to go home like a hero, and he wants his subordinates to return triumphantly as heroes and enter Nanjing City in a grand manner, so he must choose this final decisive battle.
Zhou Shixiang deliberately chose a high ground so that every soldier who drove in front of him could see him. His golden banner stood there once more, and the banner made everyone feel high, eager to kill the Tartar army and strangle them completely.
It will be the heart of the army and the courage of the soldiers.
Last night, after all, only a few people were able to see the figure of the handsome man with their own eyes, but this will, but everyone can see it.
When a general banner with a knife passed by the golden banner, he suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Wan Sheng!" ”
"Wan Sheng!"
Thousands of people shouted at the same time, and the sound shook the heavens and the earth.
"Hooray!"
Suddenly, in a certain phalanx, a soldier suddenly shouted "Long live" without knowing whether he was too excited or someone instructed him.
Zhou Shixiang heard the "long live", and he was shocked. But he didn't expect that after this "long live", there would be more and more neat long live sounds.
Officers, soldiers, generals, and personal guards, none of them hesitated or hesitated, and they all unanimously and even subconsciously shouted Banzai.
Zhou Shixiang frowned deeply, and he ordered the banner of the Chinese army to be played and ordered the whole army to advance. This "long live" episode was quickly brought over, but Zhou Shixiang understood that this episode would not be forgotten just like that.
The soldiers were very excited, but Zhou Shixiang was not as excited as them, but he was slightly emotional. The war in Yangzhou seems to be coming to an end, and it has been several years since the ups and downs of his own crossing. At first, he was only bent on revenge, but he didn't expect to become His Royal Highness the King of Qi of the Ming Dynasty and re-upset the Ming Dynasty. What will happen in the future, he doesn't know, the future is like rain and fog, vast and invisible. He was on the horse, his eyes fell on the marching team, but his heart was thinking about everything he had experienced in the past few years, and for a while, he was in a trance.
On the Yizhen River, the sailors had already set up several pontoon bridges, and the army drove along the pontoon bridges to the north bank, not in a defensive posture, but on the offensive.
The Qing army also moved, and a team of scouts kept running on the north bank, and there was only one news that the scouts brought to the generals - the thief Xiucai was not dead, and the Taiping army was killed!
........
The news from Tanma caused the Qing army to be in chaos.
This time, there were only more than 4,000 Manchurian soldiers who came with Aobai, and the rest were Mongolian Eight Banners and Inner Mongolian soldiers, and some Outer Mongolian soldiers who were brought back. None of the Han army and the green camp came, not because they couldn't bear the battle, but because Ao Bai really couldn't trust them. Another reason why he didn't bring infantry was that Ao Bai also guarded against it, in case the thief Xiucai really didn't die, and if he couldn't pick up the cheap, he could also withdraw the main force and not lose too much.
Because the Sanwan camp was burned, the Qing army could only re-camp on the spot, but the equipment that could camp near the left was requisitioned by the Qing army, resulting in the Qing army's newly built camp and even the fence was incomplete. This kind of camp, if they didn't all think that the thief Xiucai was dead, the Qing army itself would not have the confidence to live in it.
Compared with the Manchurian Eight Banners, the Inner Mongolian soldiers and the Outer Mongolian soldiers are much worse in terms of marching and fighting and camping military discipline. The Manmeng Eight Banners barely managed to make a camp, and they just put the tent together and settled it indiscriminately. In the past two days, the Mongolian barracks were extremely chaotic, and the whole night was full of people shouting and neighing, and people and horses were mixed together. Although after the rectification of Aobai, Prince Wu Keshan and the others couldn't stand it, and whipped a few big and small Taiji, but the original was still the same, and there was no improvement at all.
What's worse is that the Qing army does not have much military rations, all of which are on this, and in terms of military ration distribution, the Qing army still adheres to the principle of giving priority to the supply of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners and the Mongolian subordination of the outer domains, which makes the Mongolian soldiers complain. If it weren't for Wu Keshan and other princes of Horqin trying their best to suppress it, God knows if those Taiji people in Outer Mongolia would have run away with their clansmen.
This night, the Qing army survived to the fullest. In order to be able to attack the Taipingkou who wanted to slip away because of the death of the commander as quickly as possible, they were busy all night, packing up their ordnance, replenishing dry food, forming teams, and preparing to leave the camp at any time. In the middle of the night, the battalion was full of running generals, and the officers shouted at each other's throats in order to be able to effectively kill them in the ensuing sorties. But after a busy night, nothing happened, and the generals may have complaints to hide in their hearts, but the soldiers scolded them directly. In addition, Ao Bai has an unshirkable responsibility for the defeat of Sanwan, so Ao Bai's mother was by the soldiers tens of thousands of times this night, which can be regarded as incomplete.
Without the help of the green battalion and the people, it is extremely difficult for the Manchurian soldiers to make a fire to cook after dawn. But a group of Manmeng soldiers didn't have much fire except for the smoke of the dust. Some of the firewood and grass brought are wet to the touch, and they smoke when they are lit, and they do not make fires, which makes people's eyes uncomfortable.
When coming from Yangzhou, Aobai's order to the various departments was to be lightly armed, but this order was effective for the Manchurian Eight Banners, but it was a joke for the Mongolian soldiers, especially those Outer Mongolian soldiers, they lived a hard life outside the mouth, and they had to carry something of value with them, and no one would put it in the tent, for fear that other tribes would come and rob it. Now that I have finally entered the customs and robbed the wealth of the Han people, where is I willing to throw it away. If it weren't for the strict order issued by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that these Outer Mongolian soldiers would not even leave the robbed Han women. Many Mongolian soldiers are bulging in their armor and clothes, and it is tiring to sit on a horse and look at it, and it is even more inconvenient to walk.
When he was patrolling the camp, he was so angry that he wanted to cut off his head, but he couldn't really do it. The Qing Dynasty is not the same as it used to be.
After dawn, the Qing army camp was still noisy and chaotic, and the smoke rose to the sky, as if there was a heavy fog in the camp.
stayed up all night, did not wait for the news of the Taiping Kouba's camp, but waited for the thief show to come before he died, the news of the Taiping Kou crossing the river to kill, Rao is Aobai no matter how there is a holy family, no matter how there is the emperor's support, the generals of the Eight Banners are also full of complaints and complaints. Ao Bai didn't hear this, from beginning to end, his face sank like water.
He was still wondering, was the news as reported by Tanma, and the thief Xiucai really didn't die? Taiping Kou is such a big event, is it a bluff, or is it really confident? (To be continued.) )
