In half a month, if Shi Dakai's army could cross the river smoothly, it would have arrived in Chengdu long ago, and if it was completely blocked, it would have been desperately rushed, and at that time, the battle would have been quite fierce!

Thinking of this, Luo Yang quickly stepped up and urged the troops forward. Although he likes Shi Dakai to be in trouble so that he can save charcoal in the snow, he doesn't want Shi Dakai's army to suffer too much loss and let the demon be cheap.

"Commander Luo, since we want to speed up, how cumbersome are these heavy artillery? Shouldn't you throw it away first? "The commander of the cavalry battalion suggested.

"yes, at the very least, you can throw that mess away faster, right?" Even the logistics battalion has put forward a proposal to travel lightly.

"Presumptuous, nonsense!" Luo Yang was furious and reprimanded them: "Anything else can be lost, these things must not be lost!" ”

In Xichang City, the Taiping army collected and made a large number of gunpowder and other materials, and also cast more than a dozen strange large-caliber shallow depth round iron barrels, and also bandaged hundreds of huge gunpowder packages, all of which were clumsy and heavy, but were regarded as treasures by Luo Yang.

Carrying a large amount of supplies, including tens of thousands of stone of grain that had been painstakingly raised, the Luoyang army traveled north along the rugged country road, and only after seven days did they successfully reach Tiezaizai.

The scout cavalry quickly returned and reported the enemy's situation, and the Qing army had a number of tents not far from the front.

These days, Luo Yang has also repeatedly consulted the old guide Lai Youcheng, and he is quite familiar with the geographical environment of this area. It can be said that from here directly to the north, is a continuous mountain, simply can not be crossed, only the northwest to have a narrow passage, turn to the purple land, or, go to the south, to the area of Moluo, there is the entrance to the north, and Shi Dakai group into the purple land, is a long and narrow mountain basin, the north is the Dadu River, the northwest is the pine forest river, the rest of the sides are lofty mountains, only a few narrow mountain roads are open, a husband is a pass, ten thousand people do not open. Definitely an ideal place to ambush and surround it.

Luo Yang can be sure that as long as the Dadu River rises, Shi Dakai will not be able to rush to cross, and he will definitely be surrounded by the Qing army on all sides and fall into a desperate situation. And according to Shi Dakai's personality, he must struggle desperately and assault, so the Taiping Army is indeed too dangerous.

"Attack now!"

"Yes!"

Luo Yang himself didn't know much about how to attack, he knew that specific tactics were very important in small-scale battles, but he was worried about the military knowledge he mastered, so he summoned several brigade commanders to let everyone come up with ideas and methods, and listened to them in a low-key manner. Finally, the option was chosen.

The 200 cavalrymen, despite the rather unfavorable terrain, made a surprise assault as required, and then the pikemen advanced in formation, and the infantry protected the advance. Luo Yang himself tied up the brigade, and Ouyang Jiong, the commander of the artillery battalion, was in charge, and he carried two foreign cannons with the team.

During the war years in different firepower periods, different military qualities were needed, Luo Yang knew his own shortcomings, but he also knew that the commander's courage could boost morale, so he scrambled to lead the cavalry to assault, but was intercepted by everyone.

"Quick, you have to keep up! The cavalry cannot be left alone to go deeper! ”

In the south of the Tiezaizai Pass, dozens of military tents of the Qing army were hidden in the woods and deep grass, firmly rooted at the pass, and several military flags were embroidered with red letters: Wang.

It is the Qing army's Nanzi Battalion Wang Songlin Department, they were ordered to block Shi Dakai's southern retreat, and block the Tie Zai Zai area, in fact, Qiongbu Tusi Ling Chengen has sent a large number of Ding Zhuang, after Shi Dakai's army went north to the purple land, and the Luoyang army went south, this area was blocked tightly, huge stones, complete giant trees, and did not give people any illusions. At this point, Wang Songlin, a guerrilla general of the Qing army, was also worried that Shi Da would break the road and escape.

Leisurely eating roasted game, smeared with salt, onion and garlic on the one hand, and cutting sharply with a dagger on the other, several Qing army officers were extremely proud and proud. They had long confirmed that Shi Dakai was under siege, and as long as he could tie this place tightly, it would be a great achievement, so they were happy.

"Eat, eat!"

"Drink! Drink! Whoever doesn't drink is a bastard! ”

The abundant supplies and leisurely life made these Qing officers and soldiers bored and had to have some fun. Shi Dakai's main force was trapped, and Luo Yang and other guerrilla divisions moved far south, so that the Qing army here did not have a little combat pressure. They were barely on guard.

"Huh?" The sudden outbreak of a boiling roar startled them, but when they hurriedly stood up, they had already seen the Taiping cavalry of the brigade rushing over at a gallop: "Kill!" Kill! ”

In accordance with the custom of sneak attacks, the Taiping army wrapped the hooves of the war horses, reduced the sound to the weakest, and each person also attached a wooden stick to prevent inadvertent speech. Therefore, when they appeared in the Qing army barracks, the Qing army was unaware.

The cavalry of the Taiping Army immediately swung their knives and slashed, and the sharp saber instantly cut off the heads of the Qing soldiers on the flank, blood splattered, and the screams sounded sharply, and then stopped abruptly. A war horse directly kicked the two Qing soldiers in front of him into the air.

More than 30 cavalrymen of the Taiping Army cut down more than half of the more than 200 Qing soldiers sitting outside several military tents in one minute.

Other cavalry swarmed and rushed towards the Qing army, relying on the speed advantage, trampling half of the Qing army's camp into tatters, and also slashing and chasing one-third of the Qing army, crying and screaming.

By the time the Taiping Army's foreign guns caught up, the battlefield had already reached a stalemate.

After all, the Qing army was a regular army, well-trained, and would not collapse easily, and in times of crisis, its combat effectiveness would only become more tenacious. The remnants of more than 700 Qing troops quickly relied on trees, ravines, and hilly slopes to resist, and the foreign guns were slammed and the iron spears were thrown accurately, all of which made the cavalry's vertical and horizontal galloping advantage disappear in the blink of an eye.

More than a dozen cavalry charged, but were killed by the Qing musketeers hidden in the woods, and the Taiping soldiers fell from their horses, and their horses galloped in amazement.

The Taiping reconnaissance cavalry, which was also elite, immediately retreated to the rear and got out of the stalemate.

On the battlefield, it is transformed into infantry firepower, this kind of shooting is quite equal, there is nothing new, the weapons and equipment of both sides are similar, there are a large number of foreign guns, and there are also backward guns, handguns, etc., and the frequency of firing is also about the same.

Luo Yang rushed to the forefront.

"Brethren, charge! This commander has already received news that the army of the Wing King is besieged by the Qing Demon in the Purple Land, and it is in a very dangerous situation! We must defeat the enemy, clear the mountain path, and save the Winged King and his brothers! ”

He made a brief and powerful pre-war mobilization, which immediately aroused the fighting enthusiasm of the Taiping soldiers, and as soon as everyone heard that the situation was dangerous, they stopped talking about the price, shouted loudly, and moved forward desperately.

Of course, Luo Yang does not know how to give specific commands, but he understands the biggest feature of modern warfare: coordination of firepower and gaining air supremacy.

There are no planes, missiles, and the greatest air supremacy is artillery.

The Qing army did not have foreign artillery, only a few clumsy pine earth cannons and iron cast cannons bombarding. It takes half a day to shoot a shot, and the actual combat effect is almost equal to zero, which is just a bold man.

Luo Yang quickly entered a slightly higher area, got a foreign cannon over, tested it for a while, and then commanded the bombardment.

The bombardment of a foreign cannon quickly and accurately hit the Qing army's dense infantry hiding place, lifting clusters of Qing infantry from the hidden place and throwing them high into the sky.

The infantry and foreign spearmen of the Taiping army were greatly demoralized, and they quickly rushed forward, occupying one position after another, and after two quarters of an hour of resistance, the Qing army collapsed on the whole line, abandoning a large number of weapons and ammunition, the wounded and sick, and fled.

Wang Songlin, a guerrilla of the Qing army who was resisting under his command, was scratched in the face by shrapnel from foreign artillery, and his blood was dripping, as if Sichuan's "face-changing" skills were exhausted.
