It seems that Chen Tingxiang, who has not been so happy for a long time, is simply very happy today. Since he returned to the establishment, listening to other ministries talk about the real war outside Wuxi, he was like a kitten in his arms, tickled and crispy. At present, although this battle is much smaller than the war in Wuxi, it is still too enjoyable.
As the battlefield came to an end, a large number of troops participating in the battle had begun to turn south, and Chen Yucheng commanded the teaching brigade to carry out the final cleanup. I just heard an order from the herald, "Company Commander Chen, the brigade commander ordered your company to be in charge of Huzhou ......" Chen Tingxiang, who was chasing the few remaining stragglers with great interest, didn't pay attention to what the second half of the excited sentence was, so he yelled, "The spy company comes with me!" He spread the horse's hooves and turned around and galloped towards Huzhou.
The red flag fluttering in the four passes of Jiaxing City. Li Kaifang commanded the three cavalry divisions of the Red First Army and the guard brigade, and while teaching the brigade to clean up the remnants of Yiliang and Wang Youling, they rushed to Jiaxing without stopping.
Jiaxing's victory did not bring much happiness to Chen Yucheng, who arrived later. Before he could even enter Jiaxing City, Li Kaifang forwarded a military order from the headquarters, asking the teaching brigade to rush to the periphery of Qingpu overnight, and be sure to take Qingpu with Zeng Shuiyuan the next day. But at this time, he couldn't get in touch with the spy company.
Chen Yucheng urgently ordered the troops to cook and take a short rest, while he anxiously waited for the return of the troops who were looking for the traces of the spy company. What made him feel strange was that the spy company that was sent out to guard the direction of Huzhou in Pingwang seemed to have evaporated out of thin air, and disappeared again as soon as he left.
It was already nine o'clock in the night, and the search teams of the police communication company assigned to the company had returned one after another, but there was still no news from the spy company. Chen Yucheng couldn't help but be anxious. In the eyes of outsiders, the spy company is almost a troublesome company, but he knows that this company is the heart of His Royal Highness King An. Not counting the large number of people and excellent weapons, so far, it is the first and only company in the whole army to be awarded the honorary title. Before each battle, there was a strict order for the guns of all Red Army units, and they were absolutely not allowed to fall into the hands of the enemy, let alone a whole company.
Time was urgent, and he couldn't wait any longer, Chen Yucheng ordered all his departments to set off one after another, and together with the chief of staff, Tan Tiyuan, he waited for the last unit that went out to find it to come back, which was his only hope.
A small unit led by Lan Chengchun, the commander of the police company, finally returned, and they still did not see the shadow of the spy company. However, from the mouths of some people along the way, they got the news that Huzhou City was occupied by a "large number of troops" also called the "Red Army". But due to time constraints, they had no way to go to Huzhou to confirm the reliability of this news.
"Huzhou?" Chen Yucheng raised his head and let out a long breath, "This damn Chen Tingxiang, it's really good that the scar is good and forgets the pain." "He is absolutely convinced of the authenticity of the news. There were no siege troops sent by the Red Army in the direction of Huzhou, and ordinary people would never have known that there was still an army called the "Red Army" if they had not seen or heard it. Besides, if it were someone else, he might not dare, but when it was Chen Tingxiang's turn, any possibility would appear.
Chen Yucheng looked at Tan Tiyuan helplessly, "Chief of Staff Tan, it seems that you have to stay." You immediately go into the city to report to Deputy Army Commander Li, and ask them to send troops to Huzhou to replace Chen Tingxiang, and then rush to Qingpu together. Just follow the route we agreed on in advance, be careful on the road, and when you get to Qingpu, I will send troops to get in touch with you on the way. ”
The news Lan Chengchun got and Chen Yucheng's judgment were not wrong. Just as the red cavalry turned to Jiaxing, on the official road leading to Huzhou, under a waving red flag, nine knights were galloping, like a rapidly rolling fireball. This is Chen Tingxiang and his duty squad, and the main force of the company has been left behind by them a mile or two away. Chen Tingxiang was carrying out what he considered to be a "glorious mission", that is, to attack Huzhou City again as the vanguard of the whole brigade.
Chen Tingxiang's erroneous comprehension made him accidentally write a strong stroke in the military history of the Red Army. This was an era of easy and inevitable miracles.
Huzhou, which is approaching the end of the day, is still immersed in a peaceful atmosphere. The regimental guards were coaxing the people who came in and out, and it was time to close the city gates.
"Soldiers and horses are coming!" I don't know who shouted this. The Lian Yong looked at it with a pair or not, and they didn't care in their hearts, if there were soldiers and horses, it was also our own, and the prefect went out from here in the morning with so many men and horses, maybe Suzhou was relieved. However, when they looked closely, their hearts suddenly panicked. The flag is wrong, suffer, why did the Taiping army come again in the same direction? The prefect seems to have said that it is easy to tell whether the people who come here are the Taiping Army that they have never seen, as long as the banner of the army is not the Yellow Dragon Banner of our Qing Dynasty, then it will be long hair. It's over, it must be that the soldiers and horses in Huzhou have been eaten! Just look at the lifeless appearance of these people, behind them, the Taiping army doesn't know how many brigades of men and horses will come to attack Huzhou.
One of the biggest characteristics of the Han nation is that it is good at association. Lenovo will bring a lot of wonders and inventions to the world, and of course, it will also bring fear. There was a fire flying in the sky, but in this fire there was a cold sound of gunfire. As soon as the group practice at the city gate figured it out, all that was left was to turn around and run, like a frightened rabbit, and even forgot whether it was time to close the city gate.
Chen Tingxiang took the lead in rushing into the wide-open Huzhou Dongguan, "The Red Army has occupied the city!" He roared at his mount, and quickly looked around, and the sword he held high in his hand could not find a target for his opponent.
"The regimental trainers guarding the city gate have already fled." A bolder citizen cried out.
"Thanks, dude." Chen Tingxiang smiled, turned around and pointed at the city, "Plant the red flag!" "Nine red iron horsemen, in this way, occupied Huzhou Dongguan.
Chen Tingxiang was busy in Huzhou. What made him wonder was how it was not until his spy company completely occupied the four passes and seized the treasury that he didn't find the main force of the brigade that he thought should have followed him a long time ago. He sensed that he couldn't be doing something wrong again, right?
"Company commander, Huzhou is good, just the silver in the treasury is hundreds of thousands of taels, and the grain in the grain hoard is even more mentionable, now we are making a big fortune." Liu Mingyuan, who was in charge of sealing the treasury, ran in with his eyebrows fluttering, looked at Chen Tingxiang who was sitting in the prefect's lobby, and shouted excitedly.
"Yes, good!" Chen Tingxiang agreed absentmindedly, he blinked his eyes, looked at Liu Mingyuan, who was holding the teapot and drinking bitterly, and scratched his head, "I explained Yuan, what did the brigade commander say about the task given to us at that time?" ”
"How do I know that we weren't with you at the time." Liu Mingyuan replied casually, and suddenly looked at the company commander strangely, "What's the matter, your brother misheard the brigade commander's order?" ”
"I ......" Chen Tingxiang grinned and stood up, "Inform all ministries to strengthen their vigilance and not to go out of Jiangyin's kind of ghost thing again." ”
(At this point, the little woman wants to say a few words.) Many people feel that war seems too simplistic and basically one-sided. In fact, this was the case at the beginning. If it weren't for the reasons of the upper echelons of the Celestial Empire, there would never have been Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang and the like in history. This chapter is not fiction, the Taiping Army dared to die with a total of six horses, and they flew from Quzhou Road with a yellow flag as the lead. When the militia defending the city in Jinhua City saw that the Taiping army was so brave, and they didn't know how many men and horses there were behind, they were so frightened that they dropped their weapons and turned around and fled. In the blink of an eye, the yellow flags are all over the field, and they have attacked the city, and countless yellow flags on the head of the city are fluttering to welcome the phoenix, standing separately, and the Jinhua City, which is known as the iron wall, is so self-defeating. This is history. The little woman also added three more to the six knights. )
