Chapter 386: Fierce Battle on Five Pine Mountains (2)

The battle on Wusong Mountain certainly attracted the attention of Bao Chao later.

When the rumbling cannon sound reached the Hunan army led by Bao Chao, Bao Chao frowned, realizing the mutation in front, the nine marshals in front must be in trouble, the cannon sound has been sounded, I am afraid that the battle has been extremely fierce.

Shi Dakai?

Bao Chao had two dealings with Shi Dakai that year, the first time in Jiujiang, Bao Chao followed Zeng Guofan to fight with the elite led by Shi Dakai in Nandaying, but Zeng Guofan's Hunan army was defeated by Shi Dakai, and Bao Chao could not reverse this situation even if he was the champion of the three armies; The second time was Shi Dakai's negative departure, or in Jiangxi, this time the two had a solid contest, although Bao Chao drove Shi Dakai out of Jiangxi, but that also belonged to Shi Dakai's strategic transfer, the two of them also had a direct fight, and the result was not a winner!

Bao Chao regarded Shi Dakai as the most formidable opponent, not only in terms of strategy, but also in martial arts, he was definitely the number one master in the long hair, on par with himself, the first general of the Qing army!

Shi Dakai is too powerful!

In contrast, although Jiu Shuai is not bad, it is almost impossible to check the cheap on Shi Dakai!

"Come on, the army will speed up my advance, rush to Wusong Mountain with all my strength, and gallop to the aid of Jiushuai!"

Bao shouted loudly, and took the lead in urging the war horse under his crotch to rush forward!

The distance between the two armies in front and behind is only more than ten miles, even if Bao Chao leads the infantry, under the rapid march, it can only be reached in a little more than an hour!

When Bao Chao's army was still two or three miles away from the Wusong Mountain Pass, it was on the two hills in front of it. The Taiping Army has set up its banner. General Zhang Suimou stood firmly under the banner!

Bao Chao's brows furrowed tightly. It seems that Jiu Shuai has now fallen into Shi Dakai's trap, otherwise, there would not be so many spearmen blocked here, it is obvious that this is to block himself out of Wusong Mountain!

"The order, the Yongzi Battalion, the Jianzi Battalion, and the Xiaozi Battalion will attack with all their might, in the shortest possible time. Give me the long hair in front of me! ”

Bao Chao has a hot temper, and he has always been resolute and resolute, shouting loudly.

Three large battalions and more than 3,000 people rushed towards the Taiping army not far away!

It's just that the Taiping Army has already been waiting here, condescending, and it is the elite of a hundred battles, Bao Chao only sent 3,000 people, and he wanted to take down the hill in front of him, so he underestimated Shi Dakai's elite!

The three large battalions of the Hunan army had not yet rushed to the Taiping army. The Taiping army rained arrows and rushed towards the Qing army. The Qing army that was sprinting with all its strength was ruthlessly suppressed, and even Bao Chao's army, which was known for its bravery, could not hit the Taiping army under such a dense bow and arrow attack!

The cannon roared in Wusong Mountain, but Bao Chao had already felt it keenly, the cannon sound was not from the road in the mountain, but from the top of the mountain, since it was an ambush, it was naturally above the peak!

What about the artillery of the Hunan army? Why hasn't there been any movement?

Don't?

Bao Chao's heart was cold, the artillery battalion led by Zeng Guoquan, but the American Western artillery that had just been equipped not long ago, the latest style, was extremely powerful, could it be killed by the Taiping Army so quickly!?

Bao Chao's guess, although it is not hit, is not far away! The artillery battalion of the Hunan army, now more than half of the artillery has been damaged, why did it not return fire? It's not a problem with artillery, it's a problem with people, Fu Zhongxin's artillery didn't want to die, from top to bottom, not only destroyed the Hunan artillery, but even killed and injured most of the Hunan artillery, and the rest of the artillery had already run to the rocks at the foot of the mountain because they were not blocked, and squinted and showed their heads? If you show up, you will die! Who wouldn't want to die at this time!

Bao Chao roared angrily, "Order, the thunder battalion and the fire battalion in the back will press me up!" Order the musketeers and archers to press forward, suppress the long-haired archers, charge, give you another half an hour, and charge me no matter what! ”

Ting Shuai gave a death order, and the generals below were all a little frightened, Bao Chao had a military order, as long as he set a time limit and couldn't complete it, then someone must have his head on the ground!

The five Hunan troops pressed up the hill in front again, and the bows and arrows and muskets behind them began to shoot fiercely!

The two sides fell into a fierce offensive and defensive battle, the Hunan army was brave, Zhang Suimou was calm and calm, he was the most stable general under Shi Dakai, known for his good defense, if he wanted to break through Zhang Suimou's iron bucket array, where was it so easy?

Bao Chao's five battalions launched seven or eight consecutive shocks were driven back by the Taiping army, seeing that half an hour had come, Bao Chao's army still had nothing to do with Zhang Suimou!

Sure enough, it is worthy of being the elite under Shi Dakai's command, Bao Chao has to sigh at the fierceness of Shi Dakai's army, and if he is replaced by other Taiping troops, he will definitely not be able to stop his thunderous attack!

But now is not the time to sigh, we must go out in person, we must defeat the Taiping army in front of us in the shortest possible time, so that we can save the nine marshals in the mountain!

Bao Chao snorted angrily, threw his horsewhip aside with a shake of his hand, took off his ring-headed broadsword, shook the reins of the horse, and shouted, the war horse had already run out!

Battle, you want to fight a decisive battle, then I Bao Chao has made a move with you, I don't believe that except for Shi Dakai's personal arrival, who else can stop my Bao Chao's ring head sword!

Seeing Ting Shuai personally out of the horse and rushing up with a big sword, the morale of the Hunan army suddenly increased a lot, and began to launch an offensive towards the Taiping army more frantically.

Yes, it's Bao Chao, the Wing King has mentioned it more than once, the most courageous general in the entire Hunan army, once he kills the red eye, he is like a mad demon, he is unstoppable, even the Wing King himself can only be worthy of a draw with him!

However, this is not a one-man battle, but a battlefield! Battlefield! How good do I care about you?

"Order, give me ten muskets, shoot in turns, leave other targets alone, just lock that Bao Chao for Lao Tzu and hit it hard!"

I have to say that Zhang Suimou's trick is too bad, it is now the sixties, unlike in the fifties, in the fifties, the two sides basically did not have any powerful firearms, and the range was limited, but now, both the Qing army and the Taiping army have been equipped with advanced muskets, of course, the Taiping army was captured in Anqing, and the weapons were snatched from the Anqing ordnance station and arsenal.

That's enough, bow and arrow, Bao Chao can also parry and dodge, but this musket is difficult, and the gods are difficult to dodge! (To be continued.) )
