Chapter 46: Tossing and Turning (I)
PS: Ask for collection, ask for support! In the first week, good grades are especially important. Otherwise, ** will have to hang the trouser pole and run naked!
Liufengguan.
If it is the Qingshi Pass in Nanzheng, the Jitou Pass in Baocheng, and the Daba Pass in Xixiang, it may be very brilliant at a certain moment in history, and the strategic military position is very important, but until now, it is a large post station.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty set up a patrol inspection department here, as well as a team of flood soldiers, and post post horses 66 horses, 33 grooms. It is a very important node on the official road in Hanzhong. After the Taiping army captured this place, of course, there were no more post stations, but there were still many garrisons.
A whole division!
Although this division is a little more old and weak, and there are more vacancies, there are still two or three hundred soldiers who can fight. In the past, the upper and lower official roads were firmly controlled, and the Taiping army's baggage exchanges were unhindered.
But today, the yellow Taiping Army banner on Liufeng was pulled down from the gate, and the green camp banner that had been lost for many days was raised from Guancheng. Although this green camp banner was still rummaged through the seizures of the Taiping army.
Liu Xian stood on the pass dressed as a Taiping army, and the sound of fighting was gone, but the bloody air was blown far away with the spring breeze.
After he took down the pursuers in Shizuigou, he left 100 people to survey the wounded soldiers, women and children and prisoners, and the team continued to stay in Shizuigou, while he led 300 people to change into the clothes of the Taiping army and rushed forward, day and night, and went straight to Liufeng Pass.
The Taiping Army, which accounts for most of the soldiers, is naturally not strong, but its will to resist is not weak, and it can be said that it is more than ten times better than the fighting spirit of the green battalion soldiers under the same circumstances. At least 200 people fell in Liufeng Pass, and Liu Xian's men and horses only accounted for a small part of them.
After laying down the Liufeng Pass, Liu Xian took Nanxing and Songlinyi non-stop, using the same method, and all the prisoners left behind were released after stabbing them in the thigh.
He didn't want to do too much of a sin killing. What happens on the battlefield is what happens on the battlefield, and when he gets off the battlefield, he kills prisoners like Zeng shaved his head and Li Hongzhang, Liu Xian can't do it, and he can't step through that hurdle in his heart.
They are all Chinese, and they are not Japanese ghosts!
But it will definitely not work to let these people go for nothing, so stabbing the thigh, this method that is not a way appeared.
Liu Xian was also helpless and had no choice but to do so.
After taking the Songlin Station, Liu Xian took advantage of the night to enter the Chaiguan Ridge, but this time the deception ended in failure. was almost cheated by the Taiping Army, if it weren't for the alertness of the head of the jute.
The defeated Taiping army in Shizui Ditch finally fled to Chaiguan Ridge, and the Taiping army guards on the ridge naturally increased their vigilance.
Almost, just a little, Liu Xian stepped into the encirclement.
But even if he was recognized by Huang Mazi at the last moment, Liu Xian also left dozens of people in Chaiguanling, and he really did not die and retreated.
……
The sky had darkened, like a bloody sun, and the red light shrouded the entire land, leaving only a bright red sunset on the horizon.
Immediately on the top of the hill, Peng Chun's gloomy gaze was fixed on the groups of Taiping soldiers hurrying by at his feet, and the grim enemy situation made his whole face frosty like a statue standing there, as if he would not be affected by the slightest thing around him.
The cool evening breeze swept past him, and a chill soaked in.
"Da-da-" There was a sound of galloping horses' hooves, and a small group of horses was seen galloping in front of him in the direction of the hill. The man at the head was dressed in a set of elaborate Taiping army robes, the yellow robes were trimmed with crimson, and they seemed to be covered with a layer of blood under the fiery red light of the setting sun.
"Peng checkpoint, Peng checkpoint-" Guan Hongjie, the commander of the pro-army next to the main general, had already shouted urgently before he arrived, and after he rode his horse up the hill, he hurriedly asked Peng Chun, "Why did you turn north again?" Isn't the thief in the east? Originally, the brigade of men and horses was well slaughtered to the east of Shizui Ditch, but this was only thirty miles into the mountain, Peng Chun ordered to change the direction, and the soldiers and horses turned north, which made Guan Hongjie anxious.
The survival of Liu Xian's team has threatened the majesty of Ma Ronghe's department, and in order not to damage the 'military prestige' that he has accumulated all the way, the Taiping army must do his best to exterminate Liu Xian. Otherwise, those local tyrants and gentry in the local towns and towns of Feng County would be encouraged, and if Chen Bo took the lead in setting up a line among them, Liu Xian would really be able to make a team of several thousand people in Feng County for nothing.
Ma Ronghe's army was only a partial division of the westward part of the Western Expeditionary Army, with a number of 20,000 or 30,000 people, but only 4,000 or 5,000 soldiers could fight.
Although many Hanzhong people also joined in the siege of cities and land, the Taiping army had to leave a group of men and horses to garrison each place they conquered. Ma Ronghe's new troops can only make up for the vacancies of the diversion, and the actual combat power is still greatly reduced.
Now that Liu Xian has annihilated his two divisions and conquered many nodes of the official road, it has caused a lot of losses to Ma Ronghe's strength.
Ma Ronghe didn't think too highly of Liu Xian, but he would never allow him to harass him again. He wants to conquer Fengxian as much as possible, as long as the county seat is in hand, and he doesn't touch the power interests of the local squires too much, the Taiping Army's stable rule in the short term can still be achieved.
This is his experience of many years of fighting and fighting!
Those local squires and tyrants, compared with the loyalty of the Qing court and the reverence of Kong Laoer, cared more about their own interests. [The Taiping Army is anti-Confucius. Therefore, the conflict between him and the Han scholars was irreconcilable. As long as they don't take their cake completely, under the threat of knives, the Taiping army can temporarily rule Hanzhong.
Ma Ronghe didn't make long-term plans, he knew the ultimate purpose of his military horses. He was invincible all the way, and his invincible momentum with sharp long knives was the greatest capital of the Taiping army's short rule in Hanzhong. If this military power is broken, those local tyrants and gentry will inevitably turn their current intentions into practical actions.
That's not going to be good. Even if it can be bounced and pressed again, there are flaws.
"Just now, I came to report that Liu Xian gathered thousands of people and killed Sanchayi!"
Peng Chun's face was as stiff as a stone, and Guan Hongjie's face quickly changed to Shi Qing.
Sancha Station, which is only more than ten miles away from the county seat, is a heavy hoarding place for grain and grass for Ma Rong and the large army. If there is a loss there, Ma Ronghe will no longer have to fight the county seat of Fengxian County.
Guan Hongjie was in a heavy mood. As one of the main generals of Ma Ronghe's pro-army, he knew the reality of Sanchayi's defense. Although it seems that there are a lot of Taiping troops, and the dense camp tents are many eye-catching, there are tens of thousands of old and weak women and children, and it is the old camp of Ma Ronghe's army.
"Aren't Yuetai Mountain, Wangjia Mountain, and Fangmatan all of our people? There are also camp posts in Zhanwo, Longwan Cave, and Wangjiaping, how did Liu Thief pass through these places safely? ”
Guan Hongjie felt incredible. In the report, Liu Xian is thousands of people, and he is not alone, how can he pass through those sentinels and checkpoints safely? Are there places where people are dead, and thousands of people can't see them?
But in any case, Peng Chun could no longer lead his troops to Shizuigou, and he had to rush to Sanchayi immediately. It wasn't for the rescue of Sancha Station, the emergency report had already been delivered to him, and it must have been delivered to the master Ma Ronghe earlier. Sending troops from the county seat to Sanchayi is much more convenient and faster than Peng Chun. He went north, more to cut off Liu Xian's back road!
