I have never really seen the Yi Xin of the Celestial Empire Red Army face to face, but I underestimate the huge power of the Celestial Empire Red Army today.

Zhang Shusheng and Pan Dingxin, who occupied the two bridgeheads on the north bank of the Yellow River in Yuanwu and Yangwu, faced the fierce attacks of Zhang Lexing and Zhang Zongyu's troops day and night, and once stubbornly persisted for as many as five days in this great battle with mutual casualties, but never made greater progress in the Red 31st Army, and invisibly delayed the subsequent development of Tan Tiyuan's Red 25th Army. Zhang Shusheng, who accepted Li Hongzhang's entrustment and was loyal to save the commander of Zhangde Town, although he personally arrived at the front line, and there was no lack of impromptu deployment in it, but he was also frightened by the resolute fighting spirit of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire.

Therefore, Zhang Shusheng, who had been counting on the friendly forces in Huaiqing Town to help him hold back some of the enemy in order to alleviate the pressure from the flanks that he was likely to suffer, immediately had a premonition that something was wrong when he received the news that the guards stationed at Kang Village Post on his flank had discovered the presence of the Taiping Red Army.

This is the guilt of being a thief. Zhang Shusheng, who followed Li Hongzhang all day long to discuss when and when to rectify Mianxun, Wendele Kexi and others, of course, would not have imagined that others would also borrow knives to kill people in times of crisis.

Zhang Shusheng knew very well that if Mianxun and Wendelekexi insisted on playing a game of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, then the Taiping Red Army in the west would immediately free up their hands and come to clean up themselves. And the hostility that appeared at Kang Cunyi at this time just proves this. It seems that the appetite of these "red bandits" is really too great, and they want to forcibly seize the county and Xinxiang and completely cut off their own retreat. From the beginning of the war, Zhang Shusheng's biggest fear was that this kind of thing would happen. On his left flank, Yanjin, who was in charge of guarding the town of Tang Diankui, had already fought to the death with the Taiping Red Army, and at this time, once the back road was cut off again, there would be only one dead end.

The cunning Zhang Shusheng is not a person who likes to be a hero, when he was in danger, he shook a shot at Zhang Lexing and Zhang Zongyu in front of him, and immediately withdrew from Yuanwu and Yangwu with Pan Dingxin, and even didn't care about Yanjin, which was jointly defended by the three places, and shrank directly to Xinxiang.

In order to fully confuse the Taiping Red Army on the opposite side, avoid being chased by a tail that may lead to death, and try as much as possible to keep more soldiers out of the battlefield, as his own housekeeping capital, a large number of grain, grass and baggage that had been hoarded with great difficulty in Yuanwu and Yangwu were not dared to burn openly, nor could he take them with him, so he had to endure the pain and cut his love, and walked lightly.

Zhang Shusheng ran too fast, a guy who used to fight so resolutely and fearlessly, said that he suddenly turned around and ran faster than a frightened rabbit, which was bigger than Shi Xiangzhen and Bai Huihuai's expectations in advance, and it was also more unexpected than Zhang Lexing, Tan Tiyuan and Zhang Zongyu in the counties of Yuan and Yang.

On the opposite side of Yuan Wu, Zhang Shusheng didn't know that his opponent had been changed. In order to take Yuanwu and Yangwu as much as possible, Zhang Lexing adjusted his deployment and concentrated all the Red 31st Army of Zhang Zongyu, who had been fighting hard for several days and was obviously exhausted, to Yangwu, and Yuanwu was handed over to Tan Tiyuan's Red 25th Army. And Tan Tiyuan, who has been behind the Red 31st Army and has nowhere to go, has been "nesting" for a long time, as soon as he got out of the horse, the first "meeting gift" he received was Zhang Shusheng's false shot.

"As the second echelon, I have long learned from Zhang Zongyu in front that this Zhang Shusheng is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he is arrogant. If you want to say that Zhang Zongyu is horizontal enough, he used a surprise attack method at the beginning of the battle, but he was still stuck in Yuan and Yang counties and couldn't open the situation, which shows that Zhang Shusheng is not in vain. Of course, there is another reason why Yuan Wu and Yang Wu have been fighting for so long and not falling, and they cannot be ignored. Since large-scale offensive operations were being launched in various theaters of the Celestial Empire, the new weapons and equipment seemed to be more monks than porridge. In our front army, with the exception of the Red Third Army and the Red 23rd Army, which have fully equipped special service regiments and divisional special service battalions, there is only one special service regiment in each army that claims to be fully equipped with new equipment. In fact, if you really count it, a special agent group is just a long and short gun with four or five hundred. And like those newly built armies, let's say our army at that time, there were only three people in the whole army who were loved by everyone with six-wheeled short guns, haha, it was me and my two guards, and the others were all fighting with broadswords and spears, and the only thing to rely on in the big war was grenades and explosives......"

Speaking of the battle back then, Tan Tiyuan's words still have a lot of recognition for his enemy Zhang Shusheng.

"Everything is afraid of comparison, from the very beginning of Zhang Shusheng's attempt to stick to the outside of the city and rely on each other in the city, to the end of all the people who had to retreat into the city, this guy has never stopped counterattacking. Don't say that if you seize the opportunity at night, you will dare to come out and attack the camp in small groups, even in broad daylight, you will dare to carry out a counter-assault. In contrast, in any case, the Red 31st Army made mistakes in the early stage of its tactics, and although the Zhang Zongyu brothers fought fiercely enough, they were not meticulous enough, and they were mainly opposed by Zhang Shusheng. At that time, almost everyone without exception was proud to be able to compare with the ghosts of Tsarist Russia, needless to say why, at that time, everyone had a tacit idea in their hearts, that is, the ghosts of Tsarist Russia had strong combat effectiveness. Soldiers, naturally, are willing to fight against strong opponents. But in hindsight, in fact, in the Manchu Qing Dynasty's loyalty and righteousness, there were several armies with combat effectiveness and tenacity, which were still far above the ghosts of Tsarist Russia, especially Zhang Shusheng and others. This Zhang Shusheng ...... Hehe...... That's a *** ghost home......"

Tan Tiyuan, who was born in the "Old Red Army", must have been very excited to face such a tough opponent as soon as he came up. He first repelled the opponent's "counterattack", and then carefully deployed all departments, and if he didn't make a sound, he would be a blockbuster, and he would smash the head of this roadblock tiger with a more ruthless iron fist, and treat the Manchu dragon flags planted all over the head of the original Wucheng as pieces of rags, tear them all off, and throw them away in the garbage heap.

The military horn that pierced the sky blew vigorously, "For the sake of the Celestial Empire, forward!" The shouts were overwhelming, and the surging offensive began. Tan Tiyuan, who had not seen such an exciting grand scene for several months, had already quickly and successfully broken through the original martial city defense, which was once called a copper wall and iron barrier, when he saw the first wave of attacks from the vanguard troops, and his face radiated incomparable brilliance. However, it didn't take long for his face to turn gray, and the main force of Zhang Shusheng in the city had already quietly retreated.

The big iron fist, which had gathered enough strength, smashed into the soft cotton pile at once, and Tan Tiyuan was nested. And under Yangwu City in the east, Zhang Zongyu is even more extraordinary. In order to win greater honor, even if he had made huge sacrifices in Yuanwu and Yangwu at the beginning, he refused to retreat, and he had to attack the city himself, carrying Zhang Shusheng and Pan Dingxin's braids, and taking a good look at who they were? Who knows, the two cities have been fighting for a long time, and their faces have been dull, and now, they are forced to follow Zhang Lexing's order to let Yuan Wu out, and the whole army is concentrated under a small Yangwu City.

Zhang Zongyu, whose eyes were red, once again personally supervised the formation, divided the divisions and regiments into several groups in turn, and at the same time demanded that all division commanders must go down to the regiments and battalions on each line without exception to command, and the oath of "not taking Yangwu in this battle, and never withdrawing troops" resounded in the whole army.

Yangwu really won it, but Zhang Zongyu, who took down Yangwu, was not only not happy, but in the face of Yangwu, which was almost an "empty city", a feeling of being tricked arose. He was so angry that he almost went crazy.

"Damn, chase me, don't come back to see me if you can't catch up!" When the soldiers who rushed into the city were rejoicing at the barn full of grain and the mountains of gunpowder piled up in the arsenal, Zhang Zongyu even dropped the hat on his head. Naturally, at this moment, he inevitably scolded Tan Shaoguang several times in his heart. Chasing, how easy it is to say, they all run on two feet, Pan Dingxin has already run out an hour or two before him, how to chase? If it weren't for the eccentricity of the northern camp, if it weren't for the fact that the war horses in the army were all transferred to Tan Shaoguang, an insatiable guy in the Red First Army, he was confident, and with the kung fu he had cultivated in the past, even if Pan Dingxin ran to the edge of the sky, he would be able to pull him back.

Knowing that he had to do it, Zhang Zongyu personally led a pursuit on the one hand, and launched troops on the right flank on the other. Angry is angry, he is not confused, in this way, on the one hand, he can guard against the flank attack of the enemy of Yanjin, and at the same time, he can also assist Ren Huabang to contain Yanjin's men and horses, and capture Yanjin at the right time.

Zhang Zongyu's hand really worked. As soon as the troops of Yanjin appeared in the flank and rear detours, Yanjin was suddenly in chaos, and the defending enemy realized that there had been an accident in Yuanwu and Yangwu, and the whole line collapsed. However, Zhang Zongyu didn't see Pan Dingxin's shadow, and when he was out of breath, he had almost chased to Xinxiang City, and all he saw was the battlefield cleaned up by the Red 22nd Army.

It only took one pounce to quickly take down the 22nd Army of Bai Hui Huaihong in Kangcunyi, and in the end, it was only the part of the people in charge of the palace that Zhang Shusheng arranged in the back outside Xinxiang City.

The four associations of Weihui Town have now shrunk relatively completely in the four cities of Xinxiang, Weihui Fuchengji County, Hui County and Qi County. Zhang Shusheng breathed a sigh of relief.

In a few days, Shi Xiangzhen, who transferred the general headquarters to Yangwu, was a little angry.
