Seeing that the battalion commander suddenly retreated by his side, and then rushed diagonally, the grenade with a whistling did not smash into the oncoming crowd of loyal and righteous rescuers, but flew to the hill on the right side that was quietly guarded by a platoon of the first company, and the second company commander laughed and shouted hello after a sudden burst of surprise.

He saw that the grenade thrown by the battalion commander did not go off, but ran towards the "majestic" boulder on the halfway slope of the mountain. He and his soldiers had noticed the boulder as early as when they were rushing to build a defensive position, and out of habit, in the process of carefully observing the terrain of the future battlefield, everyone did not forget to make a visual survey of this prominent target. At least three or five people can hold it hand in hand, looking at it from a distance in the moonlight, like a big stone like Maitreya Buddha who has not sat firmly, as if it is too lonely, he is cross-legged and cocked his chassis, which should be extremely calm, leaning forward, on the half-slope more than three feet high from the bottom of the valley, looking at the valley mouth and studying something.

......Boom, with the echo in the valley, it seems to be such a huge roar, in the smoke and dust, the "Buddha" who owes his ass was so shocked that he trembled, an upside-down onion, actually rolled off his "throne", after breaking a few "very face-hurting" heels along the slope of the hillside, he hit a "little monk" who was at least a few generations older than it, and the boom caused a muffled sound. Then, the annoyed "Buddha" turned around, mobilized a number of "monks of all sizes" that he could meet, and rushed towards the bottom of the valley.

What a powerful battalion commander! It was extremely accurate at a distance of more than forty paces, and threw the grenade just right, and caused it to explode at the foot of the boulder, and even as if the boulder had already been demarcated after the path of the boulder, so that the huge boulder finally rushed down the slope, thus driving the large and small stones along the way, and was divided into another half of the passage to the west by the ridge that was like a "watershed" in the middle of the valley mouth, and it was no exaggeration to die at once. This kung fu is something that ordinary people can practice in a while and a half.

The sound of ping-pong gunfire, like firecrackers for the New Year, suddenly rose, and an excellent grenade also fell into the dense loyal rescue team.

Huang Chunxi was very far ahead, and he clearly saw the flood rushing towards the valley mouth, first being smashed into a gap by the boulders rolling down from the mountain, and then the torrent on the right flank was blocked. Although it seemed that this situation was very unfavorable to their side at the beginning, in the close-range gun battle that ensued, their well-trained officers and soldiers still went forward one after another, straightening their waists and shouting and pounced on their guns. For those officers and soldiers, it seems that what they are facing is not a bullet, but a parade.

Attaboy! Huang Chunxi was rarely boiled by the fearlessness of the officers and soldiers. It's a pity that before he could utter the word "good", the extremely ferocious artillery fire of the Taiping Red Army annihilated the officers and soldiers in front of him one after another. Under these circumstances, the indomitable officers and soldiers finally gave in a little, and although they did not hula la and collapsed, they all hid in Tibet and lay on the ground.

"What a fucking stubborn and scoundrel!" The second company commander stood behind the chest-high fortifications, the saber in his hand slamming on the stones on the fortifications, and cursing viciously in his mouth, "Either come up, or you will roll back for Lao Tzu, what are you doing so badly." ”

The soldiers who retreated beyond the safety line, fell to the ground or found a hiding place, and although the Russian-made smoothbore guns were very troublesome to load, they did not prevent them from firing bullets very blindly at the interception wall in front of them.

The Red Army soldiers in the fortifications rarely fired again, and the sound of French-made rifled guns was somewhat sparse in comparison. However, the grenade was still thrown again, because the "Buddha" and his "disciples and grandchildren" who blocked the road to the west happened to become a temporary fortification for the loyal and righteous rescuers over there.

Behind the low stone slag, most of the officers and soldiers of the loyal and righteous rescue ** had been forced to retreat twenty steps away, but in some places, together with the back of the "Buddha", there was still a flickering fire from the discharge of the gun.

Seeing that there were still unwilling Red Army soldiers around him who were raising grenades to throw, Jiang Yunxiang rushed over and snatched the grenade and yelled, "Damn it, you guys are as easy as stones to be grenades!" ”

As he spoke, he took a step back, swished off the iron ring of the grenade, looked at the hilt of the smoking grenade, and paused slightly. Then, taking a step forward, the grenade came out of his hand.

"Boom ......", this loud noise did not stir up much smoke and dust, but exploded on the top of the back of the head of the "Stone Buddha". An authentic volley blossom.

In the mixed gunfire of both sides, there was suddenly another terrifying and terrible cry.

Following the example of the battalion commander, the Red Army soldiers threw a dozen grenades back and forth at the "stone wall". In the midst of the fires and explosions, there was a terrible howl. When the smoke clears and the "stone wall" is gone, there is no longer the arrogance of loyalty and righteousness to save the ** before.

Huang Chunxi was stunned. How could the Taiping Red Army, which had just landed, have so many cannons, not only used in Fengling Town, but also in person?

As a matter of fact, in order to draw lessons from the failures in the past battles against the Taiping Red Army, Li Hongzhang once organized the commanders of the various associations and standards under his jurisdiction to hold a review meeting in Anyang, the purpose of which was to enable the commanders of the various alliances who had had had experience in head-to-head battles with the Taiping Red Army to express their true feelings, so that other commanders who were still very unfamiliar with the Taiping Red Army would at least have a perceptual understanding. It is a pity that those generals who suffered setbacks under the Red Army of the Celestial Empire, such as Zhang Shusheng, who even lost the life of his brother Zhang Shushan in the process of sneaking up on the south bank of the Yellow River, never wanted to mention their own sadness at the so-called review meeting, but desperately exaggerated the tenacity and fearlessness of their subordinates.

Not only that, even Li Hongzhang himself was happy to exaggerate the "feat" of Zhou Shengbo and Zhou Shengchuan brothers who led hundreds of athletes to leap into the rolling Yellow River and die generously at the review meeting. Not to mention Ruilin, it is even more of a secrecy about past failures. It's no wonder that people like Huang Chunxi, as soon as they arrive on the real battlefield, will be so unfamiliar with the Red Army of the Celestial Empire.

Huang Chunxi couldn't figure it out anyway, so much heavy equipment could follow the first group of troops to go ashore frantically at once, how many ferries would be needed? Why did Wang Qingyun, who was always croaking like a crow, not reflect at all on such a major event in advance?

No, absolutely not. Huang Chunxi calculated in a flash that the first batch of Taiping Red Army that came ashore this time would not be more than 2,000 people anyway. And the men and horses led by Wang Qingyun and Fu Xin who stick to Fengling Town are comparable to them. Then, the enemy opposite him was only a few hundred men at best, and this was verified by the not so dense gunfire that rang out from the opposite side at the beginning.

What a shrewd bandit! Hwang had to acknowledge this. Damn, we don't know anything about them, but what they know about us is insightful. They clearly calculated the time for their reinforcements to the ferry, and prepared in advance to stop themselves halfway, so that the brigade could happily eat the ferry and the town's Wang Qingyun and Fuxin people.

, Lao Tzu fought with you! As soon as it was completely calculated, Huang Chunxi's spirit and fighting spirit rose at the same time. He ordered the horn to be sounded, to remove the officers and men who had been convicted in front of him, and on the one hand he sent people to Pegasus to urge the artillery team behind him to catch up with him as soon as possible, and on the other hand to offer a good magic weapon for ideological work, to offer condolences and mobilization, and to mobilize and incite. "Either we will tell the red bandits to go down to the river to feed the fish, or we will flee into the mountains behind us to be savages and tigers and wolves, and there is no other way. When we meet on a narrow road, it is the time for a good man to serve the country and serve his allegiance......"

The artillery team drawn by donkeys, camels, horses, and oxen came up quickly.

Huang Chunxi divided the infantry of the two battalions into five groups, and while preparing for a forced attack in echelons, he also concentrated some camels and horses, and together with the original standard cavalry team, reorganized a horse team of nearly 200 people, and the three armies of horses and artillery were integrated, preparing to break through the defense line of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire in front of him in a battle.
