Lin Fengxiang's headquarters was located in Anzhen, east of Wuxi, and the Red First Army, except for the Red Fifth Division and another part of the Qin Rigang Army, which was used to participate in the siege of Wuxi, the other divisions were stationed separately on the line from Anzhen to Dongting, and strictly controlled the station, blocking news from the outside world.

From Wuxi to Suzhou, except for the river, there is a large plain, if you want to use such a huge army to set up an ambush in advance to annihilate the reinforcements of the commander of Yu Wanqing, it is simply impossible. So, when the westward reinforcements from Suzhou were stationed in Meili, Lin Fengxiang took advantage of the Qing army's exhaustion to deal with the night attack of the Qin and Japanese Gang Forces, and quietly moved the three cavalry divisions behind the Qing army under the cover of the night in the second half of the night. At the same time, he also dispatched Chen Yucheng's teaching brigade into Qin Rigang's camp to wait. Just as Qin Rigang and the Qing army began to fight hard, the Red Fourth Division and the military guard brigade were also approaching Yu Wanqing's right flank.

According to common sense, Yu Wanqing should be able to detect this qiē action of the Red First Army after dawn. Although he has not experienced any major battles, after all, he is from an old army, and he will definitely not neglect to detect and grasp the enemy situation on both flanks at any time. However, the mistake of a qiē is both a coincidence and an inevitability.

The Red Fourth Division and the Guard Brigade that came from his right flank almost met with the scouts sent by Yu Wanqing. The vanguard of the guard brigade had already spotted more than a dozen Qing guerrillas in the distance, and it was expected that they must be Qing troops' scouts. They were hiding in a wood, and were thinking about how to capture the prisoners, when the scouts turned around and went back. The horses were given the task of going twenty miles away, and they were too tired, so they walked five or six miles, and then looked out with their eyes the remaining miles, almost, almost enough.

almost made Yu Wanqing fall into bad luck. However, Yu Wanqing still has his own faults. He had a baggage unit that was supposed to arrive this morning, but it hadn't arrived, and he hadn't even thought about what it was for. Maybe something was delaying, maybe it was almost time to arrive by noon. It's a pity that the marshal, who holds the lifeblood of tens of thousands of troops, is deploying his tactics in this way under the same intelligence.

Of course, the nature and distinction between the wrong and the good will not have a decisive impact on the final outcome of this battle, but only reduce the suddenness of the offensive launched by some of the Red First Army. The Celestial Army does not have an overwhelming absolute advantage in numbers at present, and the total number of troops gathered here is less than 30,000. However, whether it is the use of tactics or morale, it is incomparable to Yu Wanqing and his subordinates.

Yu Wanqing's Chinese army was located in a place with good terrain, and on the makeshift lookout, he could clearly see with his telescope that although Du Wenqi's banner in the middle began to move backwards slowly, the vanguard of his two wings had already rushed through the interception of the Taiping army's artillery fire and approached the two wings of the Taiping army. There was a burst of excitement in his heart, as long as a large number of soldiers approached Changmao, his advantage in strength would be brought into play. As the saying goes, hungry tigers are afraid of wolves.

War is a game between the two sides.

Behind the right flank of the Heavenly Army, at the gate of the wide-open barracks, Chen Yucheng rode on his war horse and was ready to attack early. While staring at the pocket watch in his hand, he looked up from time to time at the shape in front of him, and then at the flag bearer holding the military flag behind him. Since its establishment, the teaching brigade has fought several battles, but this will be the first time that the military flag will be unfurled on a formal battlefield. He was both excited and a little restless now.

Similar to Qin Rigang on the battlefield, he also felt that today's watch hand seemed to be moving very slowly, so much so that several times he put the pocket watch to his ear and listened carefully to see if the watch was still moving. The shape of the right wing of the Heavenly Army began to become severe, and the troops on the right wing had already fought with the Qing Demon, and the brigade on the left wing of the Qing Demon also began to swarm up. The sound of guns, shouts of killing, the clashing of weapons, and the desperate lamentations of soldiers before death resounded throughout the land.

More than a dozen mortars of the teaching brigade kept roaring, and one after another, carrying angry shells, blossomed in the group of Qing troops who poured in, and even so, they still could not restrain the momentum of the Qing army's attack. The obvious superiority in numbers, as well as the strict supervision of the battle later, made the Qing army inspire a super fighting spirit.

The heavenly army gradually fell apart, and the formation was a little chaotic.

These bastards! Chen Yucheng cursed viciously in his heart, there were still ten minutes before the scheduled attack time, and he resolutely made up his mind that he couldn't wait any longer, and waiting any longer would add even greater losses to the right wing of the Heavenly Army. He put away his pocket watch suddenly, "brushed" a pistol, and sat down with his legs clamped hard, "For the sake of the Celestial Empire, forward!" ”

On the side of the camp wall, more than 20 military trumpets fluttering with red ribbons that had been impatient for a long time suddenly sounded together, and the loud and sharp charging horn suddenly overwhelmed the sound on the battlefield. The fiery red battle flag of the Teaching Brigade of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fluttered on the battlefield.

The teaching brigade that broke out of the camp divided into two routes, fought together from the right flank of the heavenly army, and attacked the Qing army. They did not rush into the enemy group as usual, one left and one right, and swept past the stunned Qing army dozens of paces away. At the same time, the heroic and miraculous Red Army knights, one by one, let go of the reins of their horses, wrapped their legs tightly around the belly of the horses, stood upright from the stirrups, raised the carbines in their hands, and aimed at the crowd of Qing soldiers on the side in the gallop, and pulled the trigger fiercely. In an instant, patches of Qing troops were cut down like wheat straw in the fields.

The knights of the Red Army on the two sides crossed and circled around the left flank formation of the Qing army, and where nearly 2,000 horse pistols and pistols passed, what was left behind were rows of corpses of Qing soldiers. The Qing army, which numbered more than 4,000, managed to loosen the formation of the right flank of the Heavenly Army, and before they could rejoice, they immediately fell into panic and panic from the agitation that had a slight advantage.

Without a solid formation and formation, the army completely lost the ability to resist, not to mention that they encountered a group of such unfamiliar troops, and they were greeted by a rain of bullets blowing and pouring in the wind. The soldiers who wanted to rely on couldn't get forward, and those who wanted to hide couldn't dodge, and the guys in their hands became a burden for a while. It's really lifted, I don't know where to cut, put it down, but don't get in the way.

Oh, my God! Which country's foreign soldiers are these? The short khaki dress, the khaki military hat, and the sensible one can also notice that they all have a shining red star on their heads, which is not at all the long hair that is usually said. The Qing soldiers had never seen it, and they couldn't imagine how powerful they were. It didn't take long for the Qing army, which was first like a hedgehog that had been hit, and now it had become a hornet that had exploded its nest, scurrying from east to west.

More Qing soldiers thought of Suzhou, running, running back, they didn't look back, they only hated their grandmother for having two legs.

No matter how fast a person's legs are, they can't outrun a horse's legs. After Chen Yucheng led his troops to disrupt the formation of the Qing army, he went behind them again, intercepting the retreat of the Qing army, and the knights held high a shiny and sharp saber, shouting like a flock of sheep to kill into the chaotic Qing soldiers.

Yu Wanqing, who stood on the lookout and kept observing the movements on the battlefield, was stunned. He was astonished not only by the appearance of the left flank, but also by the terrifying shrill sound of the trumpet on his right flank, and by the fact that a large number of Taiping troops had been thrown into battle. These new forces were precisely strange armies that he had never seen before. The left flank collapsed, the right flank was also shaking, and Du Wenqian in the middle also began to retreat under the counterattack of the Taiping army, which was in high spirits. He started with all the reserves, and now all the guards and staff were left with him.

At this moment, Yu Wanqing thought of a stone under the Shanhai Pass, and thought that Li Zicheng of the Dashun Army was killed by 150,000 elite and unfamiliar Manchurian soldiers who suddenly threw himself into the battlefield, thus losing the Dashun Dynasty that seemed to be in full swing.

Yu Wanqing couldn't stand it anymore, he casually threw away the binoculars, stumbled off the lookout, and jumped on the mount. He thought of a lot of things, but he did the same panic as Li Zicheng back then, that is, he escaped from the high slope. The handsome flag moved backwards, adding to the panicked atmosphere on the battlefield.

The defeat was like a mountain, and the three-way Qing army fled faster than the speed.

Yu Wanqing was the first to take the lead, lying on the saddle and running towards Suzhou. The hero did not suffer the loss in front of him, he ran so fast that only about two dozen cavalry guards followed behind, and the other soldiers had already fallen into the distance.

He took the time to twist his face and look behind him, and in the smoke and dust rising from the sky in the distance, his tidal wave of routs was rushing, overwhelming. He wiped the mud and sweat from his face. There is still some guilt in the fluke. The future is long, and smart people will not judge heroes by their momentary victory or defeat.

He comforted himself as he turned his head, just wanting to slow down his horse a little, it would be disgraceful to run away, and he still had to have some identity. Unexpectedly, just after setting his sights on the way home, Yu Wanqing almost fell off the horse......
