Chapter 139: Chasing Annihilation Ask for collections, ask for recommendations
The second more is presented, and there are two more today, Da Luo Luo is crazy about collecting, crazy about recommending!
December 23, 1845, West Borneo, on the north bank of the Kun River.
In the midst of a pouring rain, a force of less than 2,000 men was slowly marching due west.
Although there were still more than 2,000 people, the morale of the army was completely devoid, and the eyes of both officers and men were gloomy.
No matter who you are, you can see that even if such an army is on the battlefield, I am afraid that it will only end up being wiped out.
"How can this be ......"
At the front of the team, there was a "Qing Dynasty official" who sat on a sliding pole and wore a flower feather, looking at the army behind him, and sighed slightly.
He is Liu Asheng, a few days ago, he thought that he was a generation of heroes who could dominate West Borneo, even yesterday, he thought that he had not completely lost to Zhu Jishi, and he still had a chance to return to his roots - as long as he defeated Yamaguchi Yang and captured Luo Xiangmei, Zhu Jishi could be thrown into a trap......
But after running with the troops for more than ten hours, he realized that he was wrong, very wrong! He forgot that he was not commanding a real army at all, but just a gang of gangs in military uniforms. It's okay to rely on the strength of the crowd to scare people, but if you really start fighting, you will show your cowardice, if you desperately hold the camp and the princely state armies of Wanna and Brunei are horns against each other, you may still be able to maintain the war situation, but once you abandon the camp and leave, you will flee a lot.
When his army left the Xindang camp, there were more than two thousand five hundred, and now no matter how you look at it, it is only seventeen or eight hundred! If this development continues, when he arrives at Yamaguchi, his team doesn't know if there are still five hundred? I really don't know whether to arrest Luo Xiangmei, or send it to the door for Luo Xiangmei to arrest?
It seems that he really doesn't use soldiers to fight, and Zhu Jishi's helpers are also terrible, and they can make such strong soldiers in just two months! If you give them two or three years, don't you want to train tens of thousands of strong soldiers? At that time, even if you can't defeat the whole country, divide Liangguang and Fujian, and build a small court in the Southern Ming Dynasty, won't you be able to get nine out of ten?
I really made a mistake and hated it for thousands of years!
If you take refuge in Zhu Jishi, you will not lose the position of marquis in the future, right? Speaking of which, the Luo family sisters have a good vision, and it is not enough to give away their sister, even the sister herself will fill it in, and she will be the concubine in the future.
Why don't you follow Luo Xiangmei's path by yourself? They are all Yingjia fellows, so they won't be wiped out, right?
Liu Asheng thought so.
But then, another thought came to his mind.
Since Zhu Jishi can rely on a few old French officers to train such elite soldiers in more than two months, can the imperial court train like this?
The money of the imperial court must be more than that of the surname Zhu, and the brave men of the Eight Banners are not comparable to the people of Nanyang.
I still can't abandon the open and turn to the dark......
However, West Borneo would definitely not be able to stay, and Yamaguchi Yang could not fight, so he retreated directly to Dongfang Law, and then took the money in the treasury of the Lanfang Company and ran to Pontianak Port, where he got on the Dutch ship and went to Guangzhou to join Lord Bai.
"Brethren! Cheer up, reinforcements from the imperial court will soon arrive in Pontianak! ”
Thinking of this, Liu Axing shouted loudly: "There are 30,000 reinforcements from the imperial court, all of them are elite, and the day when Zhu Zhi confers the head is not far away!" ”
It's a pity that no one believes his words, most of the 1,7800 men here are from Borneo who sell piglets, and they know very well how far the sea route is, how can the imperial army come overnight? It's the pursuers of the Jishi Army, I don't know when they will catch up and take the life of the big guy!
……
The rain had stopped, and the rumbling of footsteps seemed to have no time to stop. Less than 10 miles behind Liu Axing's troops, the officers and soldiers of the Jishi Army crowded the road, each carrying only a rifle, carrying a cardinal bullet and enough dry food for two days and a water bottle.
This is the pursuit of 9 infantry companies and 1 light infantry company of the Jishi Army! There were more than 1,100 people in total, but they rolled forward like a stream of iron.
After discovering that Liu Axing's army had abandoned the camp and left, Zhu Jishi immediately gathered his troops and began to pursue!
Of course, Zhu Jishi is also among them, he is also a person who has been on the battlefield and seen a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood! And he also slaughtered a person with his own hands! It was Prince Siti, the unlucky child of the Sultan of Wanna, who was captured on the battlefield, dragged to Zhu Jishi and refused to beg for mercy, and still scolded himself, but Zhu Jishi, who was on the rise, picked up the saber and cut off half of his neck, and swallowed his breath after a few convulsions!
Probably because he had killed someone, Sir Zhu now looks a lot more fierce than before, his face is unshaven, his eyes are slightly sunken, glowing red, his face is flat, and he just walks with his head buried in it. Ren Yijiang, Huang Zhisheng, Luo Xiangju and Wang Yunjiao all followed behind him and did not speak.
And this army that hurried with its head covered, no one said a word either, except for the sound of footsteps, which was the sound of heavy and powerful breathing, which gave people a murderous feeling.
This is to see blood, after winning the battle, the temperament of the Jishi army has changed, although it is not a first-class army, but in Borneo, it is absolutely invincible!
I have an army! An army that can win battles! Zhu Jishi roared in his heart, this army has won a country for me! One country! I am truly the king of a country!
"Smack! Syllable! Smack......"
Suddenly the sound of gunfire came from the front, and more than 1,100 men stopped at the same time.
"Sir, sir, we have caught up, we have caught up with the Qing soldiers!" A soldier running in front of him shouted.
"Good! Command, column attack! Zhu Jishi's face flashed with excitement, he pulled out his saber and pointed forward, shouting: "Jishijun, assault!" Assault! Come on! ”
The line infantry tactics of this era are not all simple horizontal team tactics, column tactics are also very popular, Napoleon's French army is a master of column tactics, and the five old French officers under Zhu Jishi naturally brought this set of fighting methods to the Jishi army.
"Change formation, two horizontal columns, platoon guns!"
Dwickene, who was in the vanguard, rolled up his sleeves high, and when he saw that his light infantry company was within 200 yards of the end of the "Qing army", he immediately gave the order to change formation.
This is the essence of column tactics, the same rely on queue training to fight the world, in Napoleon's army, arranged in the front of the column are extremely elite marksmanship, close to the enemy formation suddenly spread out in formation to play a row of guns, to give the enemy heavy damage, if the enemy formation is chaotic, the brigade infantry will assault the white blade, and then turn into a horizontal formation to fight a row of guns. The Jishi army now started with light infantry, setting off a rain of bullets at a distance of 200 yards, and immediately beat the rear team of the "Qing army" on their backs.
"Assault! Bayonet assault! Come on! ”
The three companies of foreign soldiers commanded by Old Peel immediately seized the opportunity to rush forward with bayonets.
When he heard the gunshot, Liu Asheng fell off the sliding rod, and it turned out that the two "Qing soldiers" who carried the sliding rod threw the sliding rod and fled for their lives. As for the other "Qing soldiers", it was also important to flee for their lives, and they immediately ran in all directions, some ran into the forest on the north side of the road, some jumped into the Kun River, trying to swim to the other side to escape, and some people threw their weapons and knelt on the side of the road and shouted for mercy.
Oh, it's not that no one cares, he wears an official robe, and on the battlefield he is a walking extra-large military feat, and all the officers and soldiers of Jishi who see him rush to his side, and after a while, there is a circle of bayonets around him.
"Caught Liu Asheng! Caught Liu Asheng! The cheers immediately sounded on the battlefield, and the remaining "Qing army" did not fight or escape, all lost their weapons, sat on the ground, and waited blankly for the officers and soldiers of the Jishi Army to come up and cut their braids.
