Chapter 248: Fierce Battle

An unknown hill outside Zunyi City, no one has paid attention to this ordinary hill in the past, but now it has become the focus of contention between the Taiping Army and the Hunan Army, the military camps on the mountain are one after another, and tens of thousands of Taiping troops will camp within a radius of ten miles, and the Hunan army camp is five miles away, and eight thousand men and horses are quietly lined up outside the camp.

"Phew! Straight lady thief, I didn't expect to be so useless to rebel, I knew that Lao Tzu would bring more people and horses, and set foot in Zunyi Mansion in one fell swoop! Bao Chao regretted a little, in order to be sure, he scattered the main force, and the army attacked Zunyi Mansion in three ways, but only he arrived on time, and the other two roads were blocked on the road, and the march was very slow.

Li Chendian said with a smile: "This time we brought all the elites, and the rebellion and wantonly recruited displaced people, of the 100,000 horses above, 90,000 are just ordinary people, but because of food, they had to follow the rebellion and rebel." ”

Bao Chao calmed the impatient thoughts in his chest, and said angrily: "Every time, I almost attacked the mountain, and I was killed by the rebellion, which is really annoying!" ”

Jiang Zhongjun suddenly realized, remembered the experience of two defeats, and said solemnly: "This must be a rebellion behind the camp to ambush the elite men, and when our army was exhausted, they suddenly stepped forward, and the brothers were caught off guard, and they were killed!" ”

"Everyone knows this!" This Jiang Zhongjun is really useless, if it weren't for the face of your dead brother, he wouldn't have chosen you to go on the expedition! Bao Chao frowned and asked, "But what else can be done?" The rebellion uses the homeless people as bait to consume the strength of our army, phew! This gang of thieves is really shameless, and this method can also be thought of! ”

Li Chendian touched his chin and said with a wicked smile: "I think this is very good, wait until you defeat this gang of thieves." The women and children in the camp are not the trophies of our army, and they will not be able to do whatever they want! Hey hey ......"

looked at Li Chendian's obscene smile. Bao Chao scolded with a smile: "If you don't change this stinky problem, sooner or later you will die on a woman's belly!" ”

Li Chendian sneered: "It's just a hobby!" Humble duty is not greedy for money. It's just lustful, which makes the general smile, and the lowly will lead the troops to fight again, and the general will press the battle for the lowly position! ”

Bao Chao nodded and ordered: "You take five battalions of men and horses to fight again, remember to just move forward, I will send three battalion leaders to follow up behind!" ”

"Thank you, General!" Li Chendian immediately bowed down and thanked him, and went back to check the soldiers and horses.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Chendian ordered three thousand elites. These battalion officers were all carefully selected by him, and they were all people from Xiangxiang, including Liu Jintang, Liu Songshan, the former battalion officer, Liu Tenghe, the rear battalion officer, Liu Lianjie, the left battalion officer, Liu Yuezhao, the right battalion officer, and Zhu Xinkan, the middle battalion officer.

Liu Jintang came to Li Chendian's side and shouted loudly: "Brothers, listen, the thief is full of looted gold, silver and jewelry, as long as you kill the thief, these gold, silver and jewelry are yours, and the women in the camp are also yours!" ”

Battalion officer Liu Songshan shouted: "Brothers! Grab the silver! Rob a woman! ”

The eyes of the three thousand soldiers who had already been agitated by Liu Jintang were on fire, and their eyes were full of silver and women. They are all poor people who came out of the poor mountains and bad waters, and now they can rob gold, silver, treasures and women openly, and they all excitedly echo: "Grab the silver!" Rob a woman! ”

These six words came out far away, and the rest of the Hunan army all looked at them with envy. Gripping the blade in his hand, he was shy in his pocket, and he wanted to replace him.

"Morale is available!" Liu Jintang nodded with satisfaction. smiled at Li Chendian again: "I forcibly participated this time, Brother Li doesn't mind if I rob you of your credit!" ”

Li Chendian waved his hand indifferently. replied: "Brother Liu said that he laughed, you joined." On the contrary, I am much more relieved, how can I say it! ”

"That's good, it's under the command of Brother Li, and it's better to be a battalion officer for the younger brother!"

Li Chendian nodded, came to the front of the formation, and shouted loudly: "Array!" The front camp comes forward! ”

In an instant, six hundred people walked forward more than 100 meters away from the army with neat steps, and quickly dispersed in an attack formation with the sentry as a unit, each of them straightened their bodies, and only waited for an order to enter the enemy formation!

Li Chendian shouted: "Kill!" ”

"Kill!" Under the leadership of Liu Songshan, the front battalion tried its best and rushed forward with grinning teeth.

The two armies fought, and the morale was final, and the soldiers in the Taiping army camp, seeing that the Hunan army was so brave, were first afraid of three parts, and they took a few steps back one after another.

"Shoot the arrows!" Ji Wenyuan, who was standing on the top of the mountain, gave an order, and there were showers of arrows on the paths on both sides of the mountain road.

Seeing that the Hunan army was rapidly approaching the camp, and the soldiers in the village did not dare to go out of the village to meet the attack, Ji Wenyuan sighed secretly, if the Hunan army dared to do this a few years ago, the Taiping army would definitely attack head-on and kill the Hunan army without leaving a piece of armor.

"Kill" the Hunan army also felt that the Taiping army was timid, only the rain of arrows on both sides was an obstacle, Liu Songshan was surprised and delighted, when the battle just now, there was still a rebellion and a strict formation, and when attacking the camp, half of the soldiers and horses were lost, and now the front was empty, and immediately shouted at the troops to rush forward.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The Hunan army shouted at each other, holding a big knife to kill into the camp, in an instant, the sword light and sword shadow, flesh and blood flying, just as soon as the battle, the Taiping army suffered heavy losses, and the people who were afraid of death retreated one after another.

The more Ji Wenyuan looked at it, the more angry he became, and ordered to his cronies beside him: "Behead all the people who have fled back, and spread the heads all over the camp, warn the three armies, and those who retreat will die!"

Seeing the people in the Taiping military camp turning over on their backs, Li Chendian was full of pride, waved his hand to the people behind him, and ordered loudly: "The whole army attacks!" ”

"Kill!" Liu Jintang held a big sword in his hand, regardless of the formation, and took the lead in rushing forward, followed by two thousand soldiers who were not afraid of death.

"Defeated! Defeated! The former camp was defeated! Is this really a soldier of the Celestial Army? Yang Fuqing sighed, although there were only more than 1,000 people in the front camp, it was still beyond his expectations that it was broken by the Hunan army so quickly.

Ji Wenyuan clenched his fists, looked terrified, and ordered his cronies: "Send 2,000 men and horses to support, and be sure to keep the front camp safe!" ”

Yang Fuqing stepped forward and persuaded: "Let's go back to the city and defend it, the Hunan army is too difficult to deal with, there are only 8,000 people, and there must be enemy ambushes in the rest of the directions, in case Zunyi is lost, we will have a foothold!" ”

Ji Wenyuan said angrily: "Tens of thousands of military horses, can't deal with 8,000 people, Huang Weijiang's guy wants to laugh at us again, this bastard deceived Guiyang and ignored us, what a bastard!" ”

Yang Fuqing shook his head and smiled bitterly, blaming himself, he said that he would take refuge in the Han Dynasty after coming to Guizhou, he was Yang Xiuqing's younger brother, in order to avoid suspicion, he gave up his military power, so as not to be jealous of Li Yunzhong, but he didn't expect Huang Weijiang and Ji Wenyuan to dominate in Guizhou, and even the envoys of the Han army dared to be placed under house arrest!

Yang Fuqing didn't know what to say, looking at the slaughter on the battlefield, he sighed: "When did the Heavenly Army fall to such a point, 3,000 men and horses were pressed and beaten by the 500 Hunan Army, and they retreated step by step, I think it won't take half an hour for the whole army to collapse, Brother Ji should prepare early!" ”

Ji Wenyuan ignored Yang Fuqing, continued to pay attention to the battlefield situation, and saw that his side was still retreating, so he had no choice but to say: "Pass the order, support the front battalion of 2,000 people, and let the old brothers in Guangxi prepare, it seems that this time we have to attack early!" ”

After fighting for half an hour, the Taiping army scattered and fled, Li Chendian grabbed and rushed to kill Liu Jintang, and said loudly: "Call the brothers to form a formation, the nearby terrain is low-lying and not easy to defend, let's stop chasing, quickly call the brothers to form a formation!" ”

Liu Jintang, who was in a state of agitation, almost hacked Li Chendian to death with a knife, and was shaken a few times before he reacted, and jointly commanded several battalion officers with Li Chendian to form a formation, and after the Taiping army retreated, sure enough, there was a Taiping army brigade nearby, and the back road was cut off.

Li Chendian shouted loudly: "Let the brothers not be nervous, with these three melons and two dates, the reinforcements will be able to kill in a while!" Generals above the rank of officer are to guard the front. ”

Liu Jintang agreed with Li Chendian's move, and said to the left and right battalion officers: "The first few times the Hunan army attacked here, seeing that the back road was cut off, and turned back to attack, this was only then that the Taiping army took advantage of the situation to attack, let's hold the position, wait for reinforcements, and we will definitely defeat the rebellion!" ”

"That's right, I'm going to meet the elite of the Taiping army and see how they defeat Jiang Fentong." Liu Songshan wiped the big knife in his hand and wiped all the blood stains on the dead Taiping soldiers.

Li Chendian had been paying attention to the Taiping army formation in front of him, and when he saw that they were scattered for a while, they split a way from the middle, and couldn't help shouting: "All pay attention, the enemy army is coming!" ”

Yang Fuqing looked at the Hunan army arranged in a circle below, and said: "It seems that this group of enemy troops is unusual, let's wait a little longer, and now defeat the reinforcements behind!" ”

"No way!" Ji Wenyuan subconsciously objected, and explained: "The military situation is ever-changing, how can we sit and wait, miss the opportunity, Brother Yang rest assured, the old brothers in Guangxi are not these wine bags and rice bags, you can defeat them one-on-one!"
