"Zaisuke?" Luo Yang was stunned for a moment, immediately stood up, and arched his hand at Shi Dakai: "The last general thanks the Wing King for his kindness, he will definitely fight for the future of the Wing King and the Heavenly Army, sacrifice his life and forget death, and contribute everything!" ”

"Good!" Shi Dakai stretched out his thumb with satisfaction and turned back to the generals: "Brothers, all Zaifu, Zhongcheng, inspectors, commanders, generals, from today on, everyone must respect Luoyang Zaifu!" Whatever he says, whatever he says, everyone must obey! ”

"Yes! Do as the Winged King commands! Everyone scrambled to express their positions, many people stepped forward and hugged Luo Yang to congratulate him on his promotion, and many people were talking about it, praising him as a Zaifu, which was completely earned by merit and deserved.

Luo Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and kept bowing his hands to everyone to express his gratitude.

It is impossible to say that these people are not jealous of their exploits and luck, but this merit is too great for anyone to deny it.

Zai Fu is a title in the army of Yiwang Shi Dakai, including the prime minister-level position with the name of winter, spring, summer and autumn, and it can be Zai Fu in name and in general, however, it seems to have heard that in the past, one of the most open Zai Fu in front of the Yiwang was called Yuan Zai, which is the meaning of the first person in Zaifu, and now, Zeng Shihe and all other flag team level generals are Zai Fu, in any case, Luo Yang's exploits in saving the whole army this time have pushed him to the first-class general status of the Taiping Army's Yiwang Army.

Luo Yang didn't think about anything else, there was only one creed, no matter what society, what environment, only to exchange strength for status, unless the group is about to collapse, the basic rules of the game are still fixed, you must have talent, merit, in order to get on the throne. There are insider and unspoken rules all the time, but they can never be mainstream.

"Wing King, seniors, brothers, Luo Yangken asks you to think about the next step, how should our army move?"

Luo Yang's questioning of strategic issues did not cause anyone to be unhappy, because, as a general at the Zaifu level, he is qualified to ask, and besides, this is also something that everyone is extremely concerned about at present.

Shi Dakai and several other core generals were silent for a while, as if they were thinking.

"Yiwang, Luo Yang thinks that no matter what, we must first defeat the main force of the Qing army on the front line of Dustpan Bay in the south, otherwise, our army will be greatly threatened if it goes south or north. First knock out the flank power of the Qing Demon Army, and then decide the direction! Luo Yang said firmly.

As a modern soldier, although it is a sling, at least he graduated from high school, right? Luo Yang, who has a flexible head and doesn't like to read to death, is quite flexible in language communication.

"Good!" Shi Da opened his eyes and lit up, and he shot the case: "It's according to Luo Zaifu's meaning!" ”

Under Shi Dakai's chairmanship, a gathering in the form of a dinner quickly evolved into a campaign research deployment and command meeting, and after a brief discussion, Shi Dakai agreed to Luoyang's campaign plan.

The Taiping army above the general level rushed to the artillery position of the Luoyang army, these artillerymen have transported all the weapons and equipment to the military camp in the area of Ma'anshan, because the terrain here is higher, it is an ideal artillery residence, in the artillery camp, Shi Dakai and others watched the flying thunder artillery, asked the artillerymen in detail about the performance in the actual battle, one by one dumbfounded.

Shi Dakai gave Luo Yang a thumbs up in admiration, and the other generals also smacked their tongues at Luo Yang.

"As soon as this cannon comes out, it will crisscross China, who will compete!" Shi Dakai slapped his calloused hand on Luo Yang's shoulder again and again, full of emotion: "There are talented people in the country, and the future generation will be even stronger than Mr.!" ”

At the beginning, everyone was still skeptical about Luo Yang's battle plan, that is, not to mention, the thoughts of the inner world were also expressed in emotions, when they saw these flying thunder cannons, they all danced with their eyebrows, and they all expressed their belief in victory.

"Luo Yang, all the troops are under your control, how should you dispatch, just call, no need to ask this king, as long as you can quickly defeat the Qing Demon Army in Dustpan Bay!"

After eating and drinking enough and recovering their strength, 10,000 soldiers of the Taiping Army united under the banners of Shi Dakai and Luoyang, and they were full of vitality again.

The Luoyang army dispatched 4,000 troops, and the rest of the troops were concentrated in the Ma'anshan area to monitor the Qing army's smuggling attacks on the Dadu River and the Songlin River. In order to strengthen the firepower, Luo Yang dispatched five flying thunder cannons to them, and taught them how to use them on the spot.

Zeng Shihe cooperated with the Luoyang Army's action, and all the officers and soldiers, especially those who were on the verge of a desperate situation and recovered their combat strength, geared up one by one, saying that they would fight a decisive battle with the Qing army and completely defeat the enemy, so as to avenge the enemy's sneak attack before. This is a mourning army with high morale.

Before the battle, Luo Yang asked Zeng Shihe about the essentials of cavalry, infantry and foreign spearmen to fight together, and the result was basically the same as he imagined, and then, in the southeast direction of the army.

The Qing army gathered a large number of troops at the Dustpan Bay Pass, and did not escape, apparently unwilling to lose, or rather, its generals could not retreat, otherwise, the Taiping army opened the passage to return to the south, and they could not hand over to the governor of Sichuan. Therefore, when the Luoyang army appeared near the mountain pass, the Qing army immediately relied on the three trenches, used fences to resist horses and antlers and other defensive equipment, and with the cooperation of artillery and horse teams, formed a dense defensive position.

Luo Yang put the infantry in front and advanced in the form of a skirmish. Zeng Shihe looked at it inexplicably, even the Qing officers and soldiers looked strange, because, if you want to attack, you must use a dense infantry formation to achieve superior strength.

"Hmph, although the Long-haired Army has powerful foreign artillery, it is actually not good at commanding troops!" Yang Yinggang, the staff general in charge of the first-line defense, oh no, was already a guerrilla general, and the previous defeat made the commander here, exercise his authority, demote him by one level, and retain him as a guerrilla general.

After the defeat, the Qing army, which was in panic all day long, waited for many enemies, but the number of enemy strikers was too thin.

"Do you want to break the position of the officers and soldiers? Dream! ”

"yes, that's nonsense! Damn, Lao Tzu is the upright Xiangyong of the Qing Dynasty! ”

There are not many real Hunan troops, the Hunan army at that time has been trained to become the most powerful army in China, the Qing army led by Liu Rong, the political envoy of Sichuan, is about 13,000 people, but the Qing army directly stationed in the mountain pass is only more than 5,000 people.

The deep ravines, the obstacles of the hedgehog-like jungle-like sharp and dense bamboo and wood structures, and the iron-cast cannons that constantly threaten death, gave the Qing army the confidence to hold on.

The Qing army is no longer the Qing army of ten years ago, the troops are fought, and the strength of the Qing army has made the Taiping army feel frightened from time to time.

Boom Boom!

In the camp of the Qing army, a violent crit suddenly broke out, and immediately, several black projectiles rose into the sky and fell into the advance queue of the Taiping army, and the sparse confrontation was quickly covered by the diffuse gunsmoke, which was the flowering shell of the Qing army.

The Qing army had at least five flowering cannons.
