"This is ......" Zhang Lexing, the king of Yu, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a papier-mâché hat, stood on horseback, holding a telescope and looked at it, but he was still confused.

What's going on? Why did the Ming army squat in the pit? Shouldn't you be in line to be shot? Why did it become a squatting pit and burying piles for a while? And what's wrapped around those stakes?

"Lord Wang, it seems to be a wire ...... There are spikes on it! "The sharp-eyed leader of the Twist Army has already seen that the stakes are covered with barbed wire!

"Lord Wang, do you want to rush? This wire array can't stop our horse team. ”

"Yes, as long as you rush over, aren't those Ming troops squatting in the pit for us to kill?"

Looking at the one in front of him, no, it was two thin barbed wires, although Zhang Lexing felt weird, he still didn't take it too seriously, and with a wave of his hand, he sent 1000 horsemen to charge. These 1,000 cavalry are the newly recruited cavalry after the Taiping Army entered Beijing, although they are recruits, but they have also practiced for more than half a year, the Mongolian horse with water under the crotch, holding a wooden gun in their hands, discharged a loose shock formation under the command of several old brothers of the Twist Army. The formation training of cavalry is much more difficult than that of infantry, and even the veterans of the Twist Army cannot make a wall charge of European-style cavalry, so they can only rush so-so. However, in the past, it was enough to deal with the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion.

"Brothers, rush, rush! God bless us! ”

The shouts of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom style were followed by a gust of wind, because there were no infantry formations and bayonet jungles ahead. Therefore, these Taiping cavalry all launched an attack with the mood of a leisurely stroll. Isn't it just a wire, and I'm afraid of hitting it with a horse? Those Ming troops squatting in the pit didn't even have a formation, how could they stop the cavalry? The ease of this camp.

"This Zhang Laole's courage is not fat, if tens of thousands of horsemen rush up at a time, they may really be able to break the barbed wire." Ren Yijiang, who was standing on the city wall to supervise the battle, said to Luo Zenan beside him, "As far as their current 1,000 horsemen, they don't need to be protected by barbed wire, and they are directly used to re-shoot and shoot out." ”

As soon as his words fell, nearly 2,000 Bese Maiyang guns had already been erected, but they did not fire immediately, and the 6th Army was an old unit. The shooting discipline is excellent. Moreover, there are three barbed wire fences to protect the trench, so that the soldiers have a little more security and can be more determined to shoot.

"Aim, Prepare ......"

The company commander's command sounded in Chen Sanli's ears. He is a veteran who enlisted in Yongli in 201. If it weren't for the illiterate, he would have been promoted to an officer long ago. However, he is still very satisfied with his current life. Because Emperor Zhu didn't let him be a soldier in vain! In the first year of the restoration, he received 20 acres of paddy fields in Guangzhou, which was the best field, and it was originally the flag land of the Eight Banners of the Guangzhou Garrison! And it's talked about above. After the 10-year period of serving as a soldier, you can also get another 20 acres of land.

At that time, he Chen Sanli will be a landlord with 40 acres of land - and he is not a small landlord, he is definitely an intermediate landlord, and he can also have fifty or sixty silver dollars every year while sitting on rent collection, which is a good thing that he never dreamed of before, and this life is worth selling to Emperor Zhu!

The soldiers who squatted in a pit with him were all of the same mind, and for them, it was definitely their father's mother's relatives and no emperor's relatives. The whole 40 acres of land, my father and mother can't take it out! Only the emperor can give it in the whole world, so whoever opposes the emperor is the mortal enemy of them!

Everyone was armed with foreign guns, and while aiming at the cavalry of the Taiping army, they cursed in their hearts these long-haired people who dared to oppose the emperor.

150 steps...... 140 steps...... 130 steps......

At the time of the three-year soldiers, Chen Sanli would have estimated the distance a long time ago, and the Bese wheat gun in his hand could hit those long-haired people on horses from 300 paces away, but the infantry drill of the Ming army still required that the opponent be as close as possible.

Just when the cavalry of the Taiping Army stormed the first barbed wire, the company commander's command knife swung down: "Fire!" ”

Bang Bang ......

More than 2,000 Bessemai rifles were fired almost at the same time, and the bullets fired like raindrops swept over the charging Taiping army horse team, just when they were blocked by barbed wire, and the war horses that rushed to the front were moved by the barbed wire, the blood that turned into a string of red threads also began to fly in the sky, and the corpses fell from their horses one after another, and the screams were endless, and the Taiping cavalry who rushed behind were all stunned by the sudden blow, and no one dared to charge hard, and they turned their horses' heads and retreated back in panic.

"This barbed wire array ......" Zhang Lexing saw clearly in the back, the cavalry was not unable to break through the barbed wire, a few horsemen rushed over, but more were blocked, if the Ming army's shooting was not so accurate and ferocious, a few more rushes should be able to break through.

"Lord Wang, let's rush again!"

"Lord Wang, you can't rush, you lost five or six hundred people in a while, and the artillery of the Ming army hasn't moved yet......"

The generals around Zhang Lexing were discussing, some were unwilling to fail and wanted to rush again, while others were afraid of too much loss and didn't want to charge.

"Don't rush it...... We have to save our strength to deal with Emperor Zhu, this city of Defu has its own soldiers under His Royal Highness the King of the East to fight. Zhang Lexing shook his head and said, "Which of you will go and tell the East King about the situation here...... I'm afraid it's not easy to fight this Guide City! ”

……

"Squatting in the pit, and using a wire array, Zhu Demon really has a lot of tricks......" Yang Xiuqing only got Zhang Lexing's report after entering the territory of Guide Mansion.

"His Royal Highness the East King, the same news as Ning Jin." Li Kaifang said, "The Qing Demon was filled all the way with the corpse of the Eight Banners of North Korea, so we might as well ...... it."

"We can't do that stupid thing!" Yang Xiuqing waved his hand, "I don't want to return to Germany, what I want is the reinforcements of the Zhu Demon Head...... Ordered the Fourth Army of Tuntian to dig trenches and besiege the city, encircle Guide, and we will wait outside the city of Guide. ”

"Wait?" Li Kaifang said, "There are two ways of Zhu Demon's reinforcements, and I am afraid that there are 60,000 people together, right?" After deducting the four Tuntian troops, we will have 150,000 people in our hands, and I am afraid that we will not be sure to fight 60,000 Zhu Demon. ”

"Who said that 150,000 to 60,000?" Yang Xiuqing smiled and said, "I'm going to beat them 30,000 with 150,000!" ”

"Isn't the Fourth Army of Tuntian ......" Li Kaifang already understood that Yang Xiuqing was treating the Fourth Army of Tuntian as an outcast, and threw them to the Ming army, which outnumbered him, to crush them, in exchange for the opportunity to concentrate 5 times the number of troops to break through the Ming army.

"To the east!" Yang Xiuqing ordered, "Give an order to King Yu, and when the Fourth Army of Tuntian arrives, his horse team will move closer to Jining Mansion." ”

"Yes!"

……

Shandong, Jining Province.

The Chuancai sent by Guide has found the guards led by Zhu Jishi.

"The main force of the Taiping Army's horse team has appeared in the territory of Guide Province, and there are tens of thousands of people! The main force of their infantry should be in the same direction. ”

Zhu Jishi quickly made a judgment that the Taiping army had never used a horse team alone, they were all foot and cavalry cooperation, and their horse team was very combat-effective, and they couldn't beat the Ming army in a single battle.

"It's a siege to send reinforcements! Yang Xiuqing should use a section to surround the city of Guide and attract our main force to come back to help. Old Peel also saw through Yang Xiuqing's calculations at a glance, "He may personally lead the main force to search for our army to the east, in order to form a four- to five-fold superiority in troops." ”

"Daerlong, Mercer, Li Qiusheng," Zhu Jishi beckoned, and summoned the commanders of the three Guards Cavalry Brigades under him. "The key to this battle is on horseback, can you defeat 10 times the enemy?"

Jining Mansion is more than 1,000 miles away from Yang Xiuqing's lair in Beijing, and you can't go back without cavalry protection, so the key to this battle is to use 6,000 Western-style cavalry to defeat the Taiping Army's 60,000 bandit horse team!

"Your Majesty, just look at it! Our cavalry and twisted cavalry are not the same thing, from horses to men to equipment, they are much stronger! It was a bearded, black-faced man, dressed in a bright red Flying Fish suit, but staring at a steel helmet that must have been polished. His name is Li Qiusheng, originally a Shandong Xiangma, the team was broken up by the Qing soldiers, fled to Hong Kong alone, joined the Hong Kong Jockey Club as a jockey (in fact, it is Zhu Jishi's earliest cavalry), because of his outstanding skills, he became a small leader. Later, he attended a short course at the Royal Military Academy, and studied the tactics and training methods of modern European-style cavalry with French officers, and became a rare cavalry expert in the Ming army, and is now the commander of the Third Brigade of the Guards Cavalry.
