But for a moment, although it was still difficult to see which way the centaurs were coming from in the distance, Tomina almost subconsciously circled his mount, turned around and ran south along the canal he had just crossed. In the haze, he felt as if it might be better to return to Jiangdu, but in fact, there was still a doubt that flashed in his mind. As soon as he took a look, he estimated that there were no less than 1,000 people approaching on the opposite side, and there should not be such a large horse team in northern Jiangsu. As far as he knows, on the entire battlefield of Suzhou and Anhui, except for the Mongolian horse team that is almost about to retreat into Shandong, if you want to find a cavalry team of 1,000 people, it is only the first association of Zhongyi who is far away in Shouzhou.
This is a unique sensitivity that many years of military service have brought to Tomina. When he pressed his body against the horse's back again, his legs strained, and the horse galloped again, he heard several exclamations and screams from behind him. He knew that it was the entourage who had not yet reacted to the poison.
Tomina rode solo and started the race with the horse team behind him. He rushed into the left camp, which belonged to him, but could not enter the barracks. The left battalion was also under the onslaught of the heavenly army, the front was blazing, and the rear battalions were in chaos, and any abnormal noise would make the officers and soldiers in the camp furious, and Tomin couldn't open the camp gate even if he wanted to.
"Long Hair is here!" Tomin urged his mount to pass between the two camps, and shouted at the top of his voice as he rushed towards Jiangdu.
Jiangdu was the main stronghold of the left flank of Jiangbei camp, and outside the city, there were seven or eight camps arranged along both sides of the canal. At first, Jiangdu relied on the advantages of the canal to strategically block the east of Yangzhou. Now, for Qu Tenglong, the commander of the left battalion, he has to fight hard to resist his own camp that has broken down on the other side of the canal, not only jumping over the canal, but also having the momentum of taking down the Jiangdu in one fell swoop.
It is appropriate to say that this Qu Tenglong is desperate. By this year, he was sixty-five years old, and on the battlefield of strangling the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he pursued all the way from Guangxi to Tianjing. In the two camps of Jiangnan and Jiangbei, he is also a well-known figure, and he was favored by Xiang Rong before, because he assisted the Jiangbei battalion in fighting against Luo Gang's troops in Guazhou the year before last, and once used the tactics of luring the enemy to set up an ambush to defeat the heavenly army, and was deeply appreciated by Qi Shan. After the war, Qi Shan insisted on leaving him in Jiangbei and gave him a bonus rank. In addition to glory, Qi Shan also became his savior and reborn parent, and it was Qi Shan who saved him from the fate of being destroyed with the Jiangnan camp.
In the previous battles against Yangzhou, Qu Tenglong was old and strong, and he personally went into battle, and he had the potential to compete with Lian Po.
Now, the front is getting tighter and tighter, and there doesn't seem to be any movement in the direction of Taizhou, and Qu Tenglong can't sit still. He deployed the defense to the east, and led his battalion to prepare to leave the city, and he planned to surprise the Red 20th Division, which was desperately attacking the camp, from the periphery.
As soon as he left the city gate, he was confused by the sudden sound of gunfire from the north. As soon as the scouts were sent out, Tomina, who was sweating profusely, arrived.
"Qu ...... Old General Qu, there is a team of long-haired horses in the north...... "It was only at this time that Tomin looked back at the road.
The camp in the north of the city was already bursting with fires, and the sound of gunfire was also a pot of porridge. Qu Tenglong looked back and forth, and he didn't know which way to save it for a while.
"Go back to the city, go back to the city quickly, the camp in front will soon be lost." Tomina heard the terrible trumpet sound that chilled his heart again, he shouted, left Qu Tenglong, who was still in a daze, and rushed into the city gate first. It is better to have a hard stone wall that can be used as a barrier, which is far safer than a fort built of earth and wood.
Qu Tenglong was still hesitating. The camps outside the city are the support of the small city of Jiangdu, once the outer camps are lost, the land of Jiangdu will not be able to hold it anyway.
"Sir, long ...... Long Hair is coming! The scout horse sent out did not go far before he galloped back, and his shout did not need to be spoken, and the imminent sound of gunfire had already explained it.
Qu Tenglong turned his head to look at the five hundred Biao battalion generals behind him who were still as calm as him, and sighed helplessly. He is very good at leading troops, and he always likes to give some small favors to his Biao camp on weekdays, and these five hundred children can be said to be his capital, and he can give up one qiē for him. As soon as he gives the order, they will not hesitate to rush with him to any enemy.
"Into town!" Qu Tenglong reluctantly squeezed out these two words from between his teeth. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can win all battles, now I don't know the details of the opponents who are killed, and I don't know what surprise tricks they will have below, and it is no longer the best policy to fight rashly.
At this time, he suddenly remembered a question, how did Tomin come to Jiangdu alone?
"Too ...... It's amazing, that's not a person, it's simply a murderous demon king! Tuo Ming'a hurriedly pulled Qu Tenglong up the city wall, looked at the Red Army cavalry who gave up the river and ignored it, but rushed from behind to the Qing army camp that was still struggling to support the canal, and sighed. Born in this chaotic world, he has experienced a battle of swords and guns, and he has never been afraid of anything, and tonight's battle really made him know the horror.
After listening to Tuo Ming's simple narration, Qu Tenglong finally understood that as soon as the war began, the Chinese army camp was stewed with a spoonful. No wonder his camp on the other side of the canal was lost so quickly.
The center of the Red 18th Division blossomed, completely severing the connection between the east and west sides of the Qing army, and turned back and began to clear the Qing army bases west of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal with all friendly troops.
At the same time, the teaching brigade of Tan Shaoguang in the east and the soldiers of the Red University Army left Taizhou in two ways.
The teaching brigade detoured to the north of Jiangdu and cleared the two northern camps set up by the Qing army outside the city. After hacking to death more than a dozen Qing cavalry that he encountered by chance, Liu Mingyuan quickly deployed his troops and began to storm the Qing army camp on the opposite side, which had begun to fire shells indiscriminately.
In order to achieve the suddenness of the attack, they did not use bullets to chase the Qing soldiers who were running quickly in front of them, and of course, they definitely did not expect that the one who escaped from under their noses would be the commander of the Jiangbei battalion, Tuo Ming'a.
More than a dozen grenadiers sent accurate shells into the camp of the Qing army, the gate tower was collapsed, the sling of the suspension bridge was blown up, and the cannons behind the wall were either beaten to the ground or the gunners were blown apart. Amid the gunfire, Red Army soldiers who rushed to the edge of the trench outside the camp on foot threw rows of grenades into the wall. The Charger cut through the night sky, and the horses behind it rushed into the camp in a furious tide.
While the 2nd Regiment led by Pan Qiliang followed behind the special agent battalion and stormed another Qing army camp, Tan Shaoguang's main force passed through the two camps in fierce battle and pounced on the canal bank.
Already familiar with the Red Army units in front of him, and seeing the barracks outside the city drowning in artillery fire and gunfire, he realized how fragile the so-called barracks seemed in front of them.
Qu Tenglong was also stunned, this battle is not good for such a fight. His mind is racing, and it will be his turn soon, and in the face of this style of play, sticking to it is tantamount to killing himself. I have heard in the past that the best way to deal with the guns of foreigners is to stick them up and fight in close combat, so as not to show their advantages.
"Dashuai, you come to command the defense of the city, I will lead the soldiers and horses to rush out, I can't let them be so rampant." Qu Tenglong gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
"Can't go!" Tomina pointed out of the city and shook his head repeatedly, "Don't look at them as if they don't care about their backs, as soon as you go up, they will immediately turn back to you." Flesh and blood can't resist their guns. "What he says is from experience. In his big camp outside Yangzhou, he also tried to do this, but it was okay not to go out, as soon as he came out of the camp, after a burst of gunfire, the soldiers who went out became a hornet's nest, and they dispersed faster.
"Then ......" Qu Tenglong wanted to say something more, but the sound of cannons behind him stuck his words in his throat. Standing at the head of the city, he could clearly see the light of the fire rising from the east gate.
