Chapter Eighty-Four: Taiping Enters Sichuan, Liu Rong Makes a Mistake

"Liu Thief is extremely hateful, but we must learn the way of using troops and strengthening the army." Li Keqing, who finally escaped from Xie Gong Town and returned to Yangxian County, said to Xie Huayao and Zhi Tianyan Yu Zhonghou, a heavy general of the Taiping Army stationed in Yangxian County.

"A powder jar and a rattan armor, the two cooperate with each other, and the strength is extremely strong in the city battle. If there is a Western fast gun like the Hunan army, ten times the number of people will not be able to resist Liu Thief. ”

After Yu Zhonghou returned to his residence, he invited the remnants of the Taiping Army in Xie Gongzhen to question him. One of the division commanders said to him.

"How easy is it to learn from Liu Thief, how can our army have so much gunpowder?"

"It's rattan armor...... It's very convenient! ”

Xie Huayao said to his subordinates, his eyes looked at the set of rattan armor placed in front of him, shining.

The breastplate, the left and right shoulder pads, the left and right arm guards, the upper and lower leg harnesses, a total of nine utensils, the weight is less than five catties, but the protection is amazing. With the arm strength of the leader of Xie Huayao's subordinates, he cut it with all his strength, and he almost couldn't penetrate the rattan armor. And such a knife obviously can't kill the opponent, even if it is seriously injured, it is just a bloody hole in the body under the armor.

And the vast majority of volunteers can't cut such a powerful knife, which means that they can't threaten Liu Xian's hand-to-hand soldiers. What a disadvantage this tends to be on the battlefield!

Of course, the rattan armor is not without weaknesses, it is strong against knife slashing defense, and it is a little powerless against spear stabs that attack a little. But as long as people are trained a little, so that they know how not to die with the strength of the tip of the gun after being stabbed by a gun, but to rotate their bodies and unload the strength, the spear is not an absolute killer who kills with one hit.

A rattan armor weighing less than five catties is not a burden at all for an adult young man. It can give people an increase in combat power, but it is geometric.

Yu Zhonghou, Li Keqing, and Xie Huayao's last eyes all took a fancy to the rattan armor. This is the most convenient item for them today, with the least cost and the greatest increase in combat power.

Chen Decai read Yu Zhonghou's report, and raised Liu Xian's threat to another level in his heart. But he didn't worry too much: Liu Xian was not integrated into the Hunan army system, and he was a general soldier deep inland, and it was impossible to get foreign guns as easily as the Hunan army.

The idea of the 'strongest' Liu Xianjun is still just an idea.

……

Chenggu County.

Zhang Fang and his claws revealed his powerful Liu Xian, and continued to assemble his team in the city. The days were busy, the nights were busy, and the first half of February he quickly spent his time in this busyness. It may be that he is too comfortable to be busy at night, and Liu Xian, who has been busy these days, does not show any tiredness, and is so energetic every day.

also made the other two little girls around her pout their mouths higher and higher.

The harmony of yin and yang is really the best way to make a man's mind clear, and Liu Xian sincerely remembered that the giant beast is coming. The world should be harmonious, and life should be harmonious.

The temper is smaller, and the saliva is less squirting. That kind of change that can only be understood and cannot be conveyed makes all the officers in Liu Xian's army want to cry. It turns out that the boss loves this mouth.,People、Wife、Mature、Female。 Although the taste is a little heavier, but you said it earlier, how would we know if you didn't say it? Do you really think that Chenggu is such a big fart place, is it easy to find two unmarried women like Liu Wanshu and Wang Biyun who have good appearances, figures, and personalities, and have innocent [weak] family backgrounds?

I knew that I loved it, but I didn't send people to bed early?

In the past, some of the women who sold themselves in the city may not be as good as Wang Luying, and their background is not as good as Wang Luying's, but their appearance is not much worse. Liu Xianjun's group of senior military attaches have not yet reached the point where women pay attention to temperament, in their eyes, women are as long as they are beautiful!

Chenggu County is in harmony, and the mighty beasts envelop the city. The hearts of the people are stable and the morale is high.

Ningqiang Prefecture, more than 200 miles away.

The atmosphere of the Qing army is also so stable and harmonious, but the Taiping army on the opposite side has already sharpened its sword, and the problem is that the Qing army at this moment is not even half alert.

February 12.

Chen Decai gave an order, and the elite of the 30,000 Taiping troops on the West Road who had gathered swooped down on Huangba. Stationed here is Dai Longjiang, the general of the He Bisheng Department.

Since the two armies of Xiangguo and the right and the middle and right of Xiangguo were wiped out on the side of the Jialing River in the previous war, although He Bisheng and Xiao Qinggao did not die with the army, the strength in their hands was exhausted, and the two who almost became the commanders of the light pole had no choice but to send people back to their hometown to recruit Ding Yong on the one hand, and on the other hand, with Liu Rong's acquiescence, they annexed the local green camp in a big gulp, and temporarily set up the team again.

This is how Dai Longjiang's department came, except for Dai Longjiang himself, and more than a dozen of his own soldiers, the thousands of soldiers under his command are all green battalion soldiers who are not in favor of or use. Under the sudden attack of the Taiping army, although he himself shouted a fierce battle, leading his own soldiers to supervise his subordinates to fight to the death and not retreating, but those soldiers of the green battalion did not mean to fight to the death, and scattered in a hurry, holding their heads and running, Dai Longjiang was like a stone falling into a huge torrent, and disappeared immediately after a spin.

After taking the Yellow Dam, Chen Decai continued to kill Xiang Qipanguan. Garrisoned at Qipanguan was Ding Yong, recruited by Liu Rong from Hunan, and there were more than 1,000 people, but the military strength was far superior to that of Huangba's Dai Longjiang Department, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, although the trouble caused to the Taiping Army was far greater than that of Dai Longjiang, but it was still more than an hour to give up the north gate of Guangyuan to Chen Decai.

The Taiping army from the day of the Yellow Dam, Qipan two passes, the next day and then light the Chaotian Pass, the afternoon of the 13th troops to Guangyuan, stationed here He Bisheng asked for reinforcements when not yet arrived, the county town of Guangyuan was surrounded.

Liu Rong, who was stationed in Zhaohua, ordered Fubiao and Xiao Qinggao to go to the rescue, but was blocked by the Taiping army halfway. At the same time, the Taiping Army and the Blue Second Division, which had already completed the three large assemblies in the Yangxian area, set off from Yangxian County with more than 100,000 horses, and marched towards Baocheng through Chengguyuan Gongzhen.

The Taiping army outside Nanzheng City also moved quickly, except for the Youfang Street garrison that blocked the Qing army on the South Road, the rest of the troops quickly assembled in the west part of the city.

At this point, both Liu Rong and Liu Xian had clearly seen the route of the Taiping army's attack -- that is, entering Sichuan.

Liu Xian was not too surprised, only staring at the battle situation in southern Shaanxi, in his eyes, it was definitely more advantageous for the Taiping army to go southwest to Sichuan than to go north to Guanzhong or east to Huguang. Because there is Shi Dakai in the southwest, this is a huge problem that makes the Qing court more worried. What's more, the two sides got in touch, and even merged, and the southwest of the Qing Dynasty had fun.

When Liu Xian was thinking about the Dadu River, he didn't think so far. Looking at it now, it's really a stroke of genius, and it's wonderful!

It's a pity that no one can come and share it with him. This thing can only rot in the stomach before the wings are full. Even if a relative like Huo Guangcheng knows that it is only a 'revenge'.

Suddenly, he found that in addition to contributing to the Qing Dynasty, he actually dug up on the rotten stinky roots? Head. Liu Xian's heart is very cool!

Liu Rong didn't have a good mood. His most basic plan was shattered, and he was even more ruthlessly tricked by the Taiping army, and more than 300,000 troops attacked like Mount Tai was overwhelming, how could the 20,000 people on the front line of Guangyuan-Zhaohua resist it?

If Guangyuan is lost, the Taiping army can bypass Zhaohua, take the Dajianshan West Road in the southwest, cross Qinglinkou, go straight to Jiangyou, and then go all the way to the official road, Zhangming, Mianzhou, Luojiang, Deyang and other final troops will point to Chengdu.
