Chapter 60: Shi Dakai's Decision - Taiping Elite Soldiers

PS: Keep asking for collections! Don't bother, everyone, if the number jΓΉ is good, **I don't want to write ps. It's really bleak......

Liu Xian's army, which had been prepared in the mountains and forests, used swords and guns together, and gunpowder canisters exploded, where could the Taiping army that fled in chaos be able to resist. They also launched many automatic attacks, but they couldn't get close to Liu Xianjun's army at all, and they were blown up by rows of muskets and gunpowder canisters. Occasionally, a few lucky Taiping soldiers who rushed forward to the front couldn't set off the slightest wave in front of Liu Xian's saber and spearmen wearing rattan armor!

……

In the evening of the same day, Shi Dakai, who was in the rear army, received the news that the front army had been ambushed and defeated. The horse team of five or six hundred people was almost wiped out, and no horses came back, only people came back, so is the horse team still a horse team?

Half of the infantry of more than 1,000 people is missing, and there is also a broken inspection of Ma Zhenguo!

Shi Dakai was not furious, but his face was extremely gloomy. Cao Crouching, Zeng Shihe, Huang Zaizhong, Wei Pucheng and other important ministers of the wing hall on the side also changed drastically one by one, and the originally relaxed atmosphere in the tent instantly became more depressing than the funeral hall.

The reason why Shi Dakai was willing to take the small road was that the road ahead of Tuqian was not blocked by the Qing army, and his troops could quickly reach Zidadi and cross the Dadu River.

But now the Qing army suddenly arrived on the road ahead, and they ate half of the vanguard in one bite. The people in the tent were not heavy for the loss of the Taiping soldiers, but for the Qing army that suddenly appeared on the road ahead.

If the march on the front road is not smooth, and the Qing army on the left and right or even the back road outflanks it, the Taiping army is simply a turtle in an urn in terms of the topography and geography of the trail.

Shi Dakai lowered his head and was silent for a long time. This is a very important decision, a big decision related to the survival of the essence of the entire wing hall. All the civil and military forces did not say a word, even the military advisor Cao Crouching Tiger did not dare to open his mouth, and he was only decided by Shi Dakai's hands.

"Continue to march, the original plan remains the same!"

Shi Dakai's voice sounded, Cao Crouchinghu's face changed again, he was not happy at the moment for Shi Dakai to continue to firm the original strategy, that is, his decision-making, although in this way, the responsibility of his 'no demon' in his speech was much smaller. is also not just worried about Shi Dakai's original strategy.

The decision to choose one of the two, Shi Dakai has a reasonable reason for choosing whichever one.

Like all the other civil and military forces in the account, Zeng Shihe, Huang Zaizhong, Wei Pucheng and others also changed their faces again, and the reason why their faces changed again was only because Shi Dakai's time for contemplation was too short. Jumping to a conclusion, giving everyone a sense of indiscretion.

"This Qing demon is not a Hunan army, they didn't pick the banner of Hunan characters. It is not the army of Sichuan Province, and the Sichuan army has not approved rattan armor. "Shi Dakai's mind is clear and abnormal, and only a few pieces of information returned by the defeated army constitute a complete intelligence in his mind." A month ago, the Qing demon made Zhang Shoudai enter Sichuan, accompanied by an army, the number of people was only 1,000 at the beginning, and then expanded to more than 2,000 ding, and he was sent to Rongjing just after arriving in Chengdu.

The team that ambushed the whole army should be this Qing Demon. ”

"A mere 2,000 people, instead of defending the river, crossed the river to attack and kill, and brought their own death." Shi Dakai's bright gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the tent, and a wave of confidence instantly burned from everyone's hearts. "This king should point up the elite, sweep this Qing demon with the power of thunder, the road ahead is unhindered, the army flies across the river, what strength does Chengdu have to stop our army?"

"Your Highness is wise."

Cao Crouching Tiger and the others were convinced, and Shi Dakai's explanation made them sweep away the haze.

Zai Fu Zeng Shihe immediately got up and asked for his life, "Your Highness, a certain general is willing to lead the elite soldiers to capture the leader of the Qing demon and hold it under the tent." ”

"The Last Wish."

"The last general also wishes to ......"

The atmosphere in the big tent instantly boiled, and everyone's voices were full of infinite confidence.

Outside the tent, Shi Dakai's personal sword players, although they didn't know what was going on in the tent, they also felt that the apprehension and uneasiness in their hearts were swept away in an instant.

Su Ri, Zeng Shihe led 3,000 elite soldiers to be the vanguard first, and behind him, Shi Da Kaiqin led the knife players to follow, and then the large army.

The Taiping army was on guard, and Liu Xian wanted to set up an ambush again, which immediately became unrealistic.

The Taiping Army, which had fought for several years in the southwest, had so much experience in mountain warfare that Liu Xian's army's methods were useless.

As soon as Liu Xian confronted the Taiping army, he immediately felt a huge pressure. He knew that the Taiping Army who came again would definitely be the elite of the army, but in such a fight, the pressure brought to him by the Taiping Army was far greater than he had imagined before.

The Western Expeditionary Corps of the Taiping Army in Hanzhong is really not the elite of the Taiping Army, and compared with Shi Dakai's elite troops, its combat effectiveness is not at the same level at all.

The 3,000 Taiping Army, there was no artillery, only a lot of muskets, and more of them were cold weapon troops.

The mountains and forests on both sides of Mianning Road have become the home of the Taiping Army at this moment. Zeng Shihe commanded a part of the Taiping army to maintain contact with Liu Xian's army, and sent troops to make a detour, and the dense mountains and forests on both sides of the mountain road became the last protection of the Taiping army.

Yes, Liu Xian could use the shotgunner Kato armor to withstand the Taiping army's offensive on both flanks, but he only had so many people under his command, and as soon as the battlefield on both flanks was strengthened, the Chinese army and reserves were immediately weakened.

Besides, the Taiping army can't gnaw Liu Xian's two wing troops, and they don't gnaw at all, as long as they continue to intersperse behind, Liu Xian has to take the initiative to retreat! Otherwise he would be surrounded.

In the case of such a huge disparity between the enemy and us, if Liu Xian's army is surrounded by the Taiping army, then Liu Xian is not far from death.

engagement, retreat; Engagement, retreat.

Not to mention the strong cold weapon fighting ability of the elite of the Taiping Army, but this frequent engagement and retreat, in one day, Liu Xian's team shouted that they couldn't bear it, the sergeants were exhausted, and their combat strength dropped sharply.

The pursuing Taiping army was still high-spirited and full of fighting spirit.

In the last battle, Liu Xian asked Cao Huailiang to shoot all the rockets in his hand, and all the four mountain-splitting guns carried by the army were abandoned at the cost of getting rid of the entanglement of the Taiping army.

The following day, at the cost of being tired like a dog, he ran back to the crow whirlpool. And the sun has set, and the time has just passed May 12.

Thirteen, fourteen, this is two days before the rain.

Liu Xian's original plan was disrupted.

In his plan, the camp on the south bank of the Dadu River was originally just a kind of storage, but now it is indeed necessary.

In the original plan, Liu Xian firmly stuck Shi Dakai on the road away from Zidadi, so when it rained, Shi Da was happy to know that he could not cross the river, and he would immediately lead the army back. But now, there are still two days left before the rainstorm, and Shi Dakai is already approaching the old crow whirlpool......

"Oh my God!" In an open space outside the camp, Liu Xian looked up at the brilliant starry sky, what a good night, no matter how you look at it, you don't want it to rain. "Do you really want to take Shi Da Kai?" Such a help to the Manchus!

"Raise your gun."

"Aim."

May 13, early in the morning.

The three shotgun squadron leaders of the first squadron all stared nervously at Hu Zhongyuan, the leader of the first squadron standing in the upper right hand seat of the queue, and stared at his waist knife raised high with one hand.

"Huh." When the musketeers of the Taiping Army approached a distance of twenty zhang, the waist knife in Hu Zhongyuan's hand slashed down.

"Put-"

With the slashing of Hu Zhongyuan's sword light. In the first column, a shout from the first squad leader of the first squadron resounded across the battlefield.
