If you want to talk about Liu Yuezhao's military career in the past few years, it is really legendary.
Because he was sent to Guangzhou by Zeng Guofan to buy foreign cannons, and because of the delay in returning due to the unsuitability of the water and soil, Liu Yuezhao took his two brothers who stayed behind to take care of him, thus avoiding the doom that the fall of the Hunan army brought to them. Of course, there is a lack of rational and emotional understanding of the fierce and fierce battle.
Although in the days that followed, the three of them followed the Shengbao army and ran around for some days, after all, their ability and strength were limited, and with the trump card of loyalty and righteousness, Shengbao did not and could not put them, the "rabble", in a key position on their own.
In this way, in the days when the three heroes of the Liu family lamented that the heroes were useless, they did not get real training in big battles, and they were busy following the army to do things like defending the warehouse, standing guard and checking the way. However, the big thing didn't happen, and the big fright didn't stop there. The kind of fright that people who can get out of the big pockets of the Taiping Army is probably not what ordinary people can imagine.
When Shengbao's army fled from northern Anhui to southern Henan, and was finally annihilated by the whole army, Liu's three heroes escaped a catastrophe again because they were not valued by Shengbao. Then, what is even more incredible is that they used ingenious makeup skills to disguise themselves as three poor mutes, in tattered clothes, each holding a raw potato seed with mud and gnawing wildly, and actually mixed with the fleeing people, and successfully escaped from Luoyang, which was surrounded by "flies cannot fly out".
It's really a coincidence, even the fart and urine finally escaped to the north bank of the Yellow River, although they had nightmares all night, but they hated the Taiping Red Army to the cavity of the Liu brothers did not expect that when they were pinched off the head and tail, the processed "three years of heroic feats" as soon as they entered the recruitment affairs yamen of loyalty and righteousness to save the **, and suddenly got the great appreciation of Mianxun, who vowed to sing against Li Hongzhang.
Loyalty and righteousness to save ** need generals with rich war experience and high-level cultural level, especially if they are Hunan children that Li Hongzhang is unwilling to encircle, if this kind of person is enveloped under his command, it is no better and nothing. So, the Liu brothers, who were looking forward to being accepted by Zhongyi and solving the embarrassment of being a lost dog, were put away from the list eliminated by Li Hongzhang by Mianxun.
For the sake of the Liu brothers, Mianxun made great efforts, and did not hesitate to use all kinds of forces in the capital, including the Empress Dowager Cixi, to bypass Li Hongzhang to "tackle key problems" with Russian friends at the headquarters of the coalition forces, and even threatened to resign, and finally he got his wish, and the Liu brothers also immediately changed, from three despised "deserters" to loyal and righteous rescuers. Not only that, under the support of Mianxun, Liu Yuezhao is even more sesame blossoming, and in less than half a year, he has been driven by the standard and the co-ordinate, and has sat on the throne of the town unification.
But it's always true, and the fake is never true. It's easy to say anything if you don't fight, as soon as you hear the sound of gunfire, Liu Yuezhao can't help but think of the unlucky Zeng Guofan, the tragic Shengbao, and the Luoyang City surrounded by iron walls, etc. Luoyang City is deep enough to be a strong moat, even then it is not enough to stop the powerful offensive of the Taiping Red Army that is like a large number of madmen in a fight, and now this wall is no more than two feet high, and the moat has not had time to be completely excavated.
The only way to solve the "fear", the best is to make a fire together. The so-called many people are powerful, and many people are courageous. Of course, Liu Yuezhao would not tell his subordinates like this, he is a person who understands the art of war, and there are some flexible statements. Since the Taiping Red Army has surrounded the county, and we are outside, that is, behind the Taiping Red Army, there are still two standards of men and horses, if on the one hand stick to Rui County, on the other hand, quickly adjust the two standards of men and horses to help, the Tianping Red Army to come to him a counter-encirclement, and we come to a center to bloom, wouldn't it be beautiful? In fact, until now, Liu Yuezhao still thinks that Fenglingdu and Yongledu are still in his hands, and these Taiping Red Army who came to besiege Rui County are just getting advantage of Puzhou, so they will suddenly come to the city.
Yu Tingzhang led the Second Regiment of the Red 90th Division to "surround" the county seat of Ruixian County in the vast darkness. This kind of encirclement, in fact, can only be regarded as a kind of harassment at the beginning, if it were not for the cover of the night, if it were not for Liu Yuezhao's miscalculation of the shape, it would not have posed a threat to Rui County at all.
According to the initial arrangement, in addition to ensuring the smooth landing of the follow-up army, the main task of the Red 91st Division was to quickly and completely eliminate Huang Chunxi's troops with superior forces with the cooperation of the Red 90th Division. But after Wei Jun experienced the battlefield, he changed his original deployment. He demanded that the 2nd Regiment and the artillery battalion of the 91st Red Division, which were responsible for guarding the direction of Ruixian, and the 3rd Regiment and divisional units that had come ashore one after another, directly rush to the county seat of Ruixian, not only to create a momentum for a surprise attack on the county seat of Ruixian, but also to force Liu Yuezhao to urgently dispatch Liu Mingchuan from Yongle to rescue. Moreover, it was necessary to resist Liu Mingchuan's reinforcements in the middle of the way, and create favorable conditions for the Red 92nd Division to annihilate the unit.
Yu Tingzhang naturally wanted to carry out Wei Jun's orders to the letter. However, when Yu Tingzhang arrived in Rui County, he couldn't help but sweat in his heart and secretly complain. Fighting and fighting, Rui County, which was originally quiet and quiet, should have been in chaos, but the troops in his hands were insufficient, a regiment of men and horses was divided into four pieces, which one was very fragile, if Liu Yuezhao in the city did not follow Mr. Wei's wishful thinking to mobilize the Yongle army, but concentrated the men and horses to fight to the death, I am afraid it would be difficult to resist.
Yu Tingzhang couldn't imagine that after Liu Yuezhao and his subordinates were woken up in a coma, their first reaction was how to keep the city, and he didn't think about counterattacking at all, and he didn't even carefully check how many besieging men and horses were coming outside.
But Wei Jun thought about it. In Liu Yuezhao's hinterland, this so-called heart-digging tactic was adopted against him, and since Liu Yuezhao was familiar with military books, he would not have guessed that the Red Army of the Celestial Empire was just bluffing. Whoever dares to call for troops on the battlefield, then no one is a fool, and who will willingly take an egg and hit a stone? Without diamonds, we Wei Jun dare to go to your Liu Yuezhao's door to do porcelain work?
Of course, it wasn't until he saw with his own eyes that a small group of outlaws in the city desperately "killed" and broke through on a bloody road, and when the three regiments and divisions came from the direction of Fenglingdu one after another, Yu Tingzhang also began to have a good mentality of being bold and strong. When he saw the spy battalions and groups of victorious men that appeared in the valleys of dawn one after another, Yu Tingzhang's big mouth couldn't close even more.
When the light of the sun finally drove away the darkness, Liu Yuezhao, who was standing on the head of the city with clairvoyance, suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart. No, why did the Taiping Red Army fight for so much in the dark of night and frighten everyone, but now there are more and more people? Could it be that they didn't have many people at all when they first started? Oops, why didn't you fight back at the time and test their hypocrisy?
But soon, Liu Yuezhao found an excuse for himself. His opponents are not only not stupid, but they are all human sperm, and these people who are only showing up now may not have been hiding somewhere at the time, just waiting for their men and horses to leave the city. The first thing to do is not to be impulsive, not to damage his limited strength in a senseless counterattack, he recalled the defeat of those "predecessors" at the beginning, which time was not because of the willfulness and fell into the trap carefully set by the opponent?
But Liu Yuezhao, who persuaded himself, still had a problem that he didn't understand. Why did the soldiers who had already fought out of the encirclement more than an hour ago to transfer Huang Chunxi and Liu Mingchuan have not brought back one reinforcement until now? Liu Mingchuan, a bastard from Anhui, finally had this kind of moment when he could vent his personal anger, I am afraid that he would be more willing to watch himself die than work hard. But Huang Chunxi shouldn't be, is that his loyal supporter?
Liu Mingchuan ran to Xicheng again, he couldn't wait to poke the clairvoyance into his eye socket at once, and desperately stretched out his slightly thin and tender neck, looking and looking. The more he looked, the whiter his face became. On all the ravines that could be seen, except for the Taiping Red Army flashing from time to time, there was nothing else.
It's bad, Huang Chunxi is probably in trouble and can't protect himself! Liu Yuezhao's heart trembled, and he hurriedly ran to Nancheng again, and climbed to the top floor of the city tower with a sigh of relief. Through his clairvoyance, his gaze crossed the large number of Red Army soldiers of the Celestial Empire who were waiting outside the city, and concentrated on the mountain beam in the distance, which was the best route that Liu Ming's troops should take when they came to Rui County. But Liu Mingchuan's eyes were so sour that he couldn't stop crying, and there was no trace of anyone on the road of Shanliang.
Liu Mingchuan, good brother, come on, the evil "red bandits" are actually happy to forget to set up a defense here, as long as your Liu Mingchuan brothers appear, condescendingly display your Liu brothers' superb martial arts, the "red bandits" will be scattered, and the time will be ......
It seems that he forgot that there are so many filthy Liu Yuezhao between himself and Liu Mingchuan, I don't know if it is because his eyes are spent, or what, he seems to have seen a faint wisp of gunsmoke rising behind the mountain beam in a hazy way. He quickly rubbed the damp right eye, which had the best eyesight, and clasped it again.
Haha, it's really a wish, Liu Mingchuan, my good brother, you are finally here!
