Chapter 249: Restarting the War
Zeng Guofan led the main force of the Qing army to finish the village not far from the Taiping army camp, and immediately ordered the vanguard Zeng Guohua to go to battle, in order to strive for a quick victory.
Zeng Guohua received the order, so he led the army to the Taiping military camp to call for battle.
The Taiping Army received the news, and immediately sent Yu Yilong, Duan Yihu and the two to face Zeng Guohua, originally, if the order of the battle, the enemy vanguard is not the turn of the Yu, Duan two, but Huang Xu and Guo Potian are still arranged like this, there must be their reason, besides, the strength of the two Duan is not bad, they are talented, and they also have a set of unparalleled combined attack skills, so as long as they do not encounter a super strong opponent, they will be able to deal with it easily.
Yu and Duan came to the front of the battle, and without saying a word, they slapped the horse and danced directly to fight Zeng Guohua.
Zeng Guohua originally thought that he would have to spend a lot of time arguing with these two enemy generals before he would engage them, but he didn't expect that as soon as the other party came up, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he would start to move directly, which really made him a little uncomfortable.
Of course, when this fight just began, neither of them would go all out, they were all trying to attack, so Zeng Guohua had spare strength at this time, and Duan and the two nagged.
"Hey, I said two, you guys are too much, you don't say anything, you don't say anything, you just do it when you come up, and it's two to one, it's too unreasonable." Zeng Guohua said while fighting.
"On the battlefield, you live and die, what is the reason to say, it is better to be more happy directly, and besides, our brothers have always fought together against the enemy, there is nothing to say." Yu, I don't know who said such a sentence among the two of them.
"Then I have to exchange names, so that Ben will know who the person he killed before this battle is, but I don't know, Ben will never kill a nameless person under the gun." Zeng Guohua Road.
"War is war, what are you doing with so much nonsense, and you don't know your name and do your." Listen to the voice, this should be Duan Yihu.
Zeng Guohua is short-tempered, Yu and Duan are even more unreasonable, this short-tempered person meets an unreasonable person, and the result is conceivable.
"Since the two of you don't know what to do, grandpa won't talk to you anymore, grandpa broke the ring once today and killed you two unnamed goods, grandpa just wants you to know that offending your grandpa is not such a fun thing." Zeng Guohua was choked by Yu and Duan, and the anger in his heart began to burn.
"As long as you have that ability, my brothers don't care, I'm afraid that you don't have the ability." Yu Yilong Road.
"You give it a try, won't you?" Zeng Guohua said proudly.
"So what are you waiting for, come on." Yu Yilong waved the long stick in his hand.
"Okay, it's refreshing." Zeng Guohua shouted, and the movements in his hands obviously began to speed up.
After that, the three of them didn't say anything more and concentrated on fighting each other.
From the scene point of view, Zeng Guohua is slightly down, after all, Yu and Duan are two forces together, Zeng Guohua is no matter how brave he is, and he still suffers a little with one enemy and two enemies. And Yu, although Duan and the two have the upper hand, it is not so easy to take down Zeng Guohua in a short time, after all, Zeng Guohua's strength is there.
The two sides fought for almost an hour, and the victory was still scored. Zeng Guohua knew in his heart that if he continued to fight like this, Zuihou would definitely lose himself, not because his ability was not as good as the other party, but because he suffered more in terms of physical strength, so he had to think of a way to lead the other party to be fooled.
After some observation, Zeng Guohua found that Duan Yihu was slightly inferior to Yu Yilong compared to Yu Yilong, Duan Yihu was slightly inferior in either aspect, in this case, Zeng Guohua still understood the truth of picking soft persimmons and pinching, so after playing this, Zeng Guohua basically used his liliang separately, three points were used to defend Yu Yilong, and seven points were used to attack Duan Yihu. In this way, Duan Yihu's pressure increased suddenly, and there were several times if it wasn't for Yu Yilong sacrificing his life to help, he would have died under Zeng Guohua's gun.
Under the greeting of Zeng Guohua's targeted offensive strategy, Duan Yihu couldn't say that he was bitter, no, seeing that Zeng Guohua was stabbed again, Duan Yihu used his strength to barely raise the long stick in his hand to cover it, when the gun touched the stick, he only heard a click, and the long stick in Duan Yihu's hand was broken into two, he was stunned for a moment, Zeng Guohua's second shot had been stabbed, seeing that Duan Yihu was no longer spared, he would definitely die under Zeng Guohua's gun, but he didn't expect that at this critical moment, a long stick was stretched out next to him, swept away Zeng Guohua's fatal shot at Duan Yihu. saved Duan Yihu's life.
Zeng Guohua looked at it, and it turned out that it was Yu Yilong who saved Duan Yihu.
Duan Yihu held two truncated sticks, glanced at Zeng Guohua with complicated eyes, turned his horse's head, and ran towards his phalanx, it seemed that he had shown his timidity.
Duan Yihu left, Yu Yilong didn't have the heart to fight Zeng Guohua again, and also followed Duan Yihu to the front of the battle.
In this way, this battle can be regarded as Zeng Guohua's victory.
Zeng Guohua couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Yu Duan and the two of them defeated, just seeing the spear in his hand unfurled, the army behind him rushed like a tide to the army led by Yu Duan and the two who were retreating to the camp.
This place is not far from the Taiping army camp, under the death battle of the two of Yu Duan, most of the Taiping army returned to the camp safely, but suffered a small loss, which can be described as a great luck.
Zeng Guohua led the army to the front of the Taiping army camp, and directly ordered to attack the camp, who knew that the camp tower suddenly shot a simple rain, the Qing army was not prepared, and was shot down a large piece at once, Zeng Guohua saw this scene, and urgently ordered the army to retreat.
Zeng Guohua, as a pioneer officer, brought some light cavalry this time, and did not carry a large number of siege equipment, so he ordered the army to suspend the attack and closely monitor the every move of the Taiping army, and on the other hand, he reported the battle situation here to Zeng Guofan, waiting for Zeng Guofan's army to come and storm the Taiping army camp.
Zeng Guofan received an urgent report from Zeng Guohua, that is, the governor led the army to rush to the Taiping military camp.
"Guohua, what's the situation?" The first thing Zeng Guofan did after settling down the army was to summon Zeng Guohua and ask him about the situation.
"Dashuai, after the last general defeated the enemy general, the Taiping thieves couldn't shrink out, and they didn't know what they were thinking." Zeng Guohua Road.
"Strategist, what do you think?" Zeng Guofan closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and then said.
"Marshal, the strategy we formulated on this trip is to attack, with the overwhelming superiority of our army, presumably they can't toss any tricks?" Li Hongzhang is very clear and authentic.
"That's right, Marshal Zeng, the words of the military advisor are very true, if we don't take this opportunity to defeat the thieves in one fell swoop, they are very likely to do something unexpected." Luo Bingzhang also agrees with Li Hongzhang's view.
"That's good, pass on the order, surround the enemy camp and force the attack." Zeng Guofandao.
After receiving the order, the herald hurried to convey the order of Zeng Guofan to the battalions to attack.
"Guohua, you can go too, and report the latest situation to Ben Shuai at any time." Zeng Guofan to Zeng Guohua Dao.
"Dashuai, my subordinates have also gone back." Luo Bingzhang also had to go back to assist Zuo Zongtang in his attack.
"Okay, you tell Zong Tang to let him fight hard and fight for shame." Zeng Guofandao.
The previous defeat, Zuo Zongtang was angry, and Zeng Guofan's words can be said to be right to Zuo Zongtang's heartache, he asked Luo Bingzhang to pass the word, so that Zuo Zongtang would not forget the previous shame and kill the enemy bravely. Of course, Zeng Guofan just didn't mention it, and Zuo Zongtang would do the same.
After Luo Bingzhang left, only Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang were left in the big tent.
"Strategist, do you think we have a chance of winning this time?" Zeng Guofan has no bottom in his heart.
"Dashuai, don't think about it so much, it won't take long for you to see the difference." That's all Li Hongzhang can say.
"Okay, then let's wait quietly together..."Zeng Guofan said.
Just as the two of them were about to wait for the news, a sentry came to report.
"Come in." Li Hongzhang said.
"The marshal, the military advisor, and the villain were ordered to sentry into the Taiping army camp, and found that the camp was empty, so please make a decision." The sentinel knelt on one knee and said.
"What? What do you say, you're not mistaken?" When Zeng Guofan heard this, he immediately jumped up and shouted.
"Dashuai, this matter is seen by the villain with his own eyes, and it will not be wrong." Sentinel is sure to be authentic.
"Strategist, how can this be?" Zeng Guofan is a bit lost and downcast.
"You go to the sentry again, and if there's an update, report quickly." Li Hongzhang waved his hand and let the sentry go down first.
Li Hongzhang waved off the sentry, and then replied: "Marshal, don't worry, if this is the case, then General Guohua should have detected the details, and the student will go to General Guohua to understand the situation, and the marshal should not be impatient."
"Strategist, Ben Shuai was a little out of shape just now." Zeng Guofan has regained his calm.
"Dashuai, you are too nervous, you better be relieved, everything will fall into place." Li Hongzhang persuaded.
"Yes, military advisor, you are very right, it seems that Ben Shuai needs to relax and relax, in this way, you go to this matter in person, and find out the details of the process, we will talk about it later, now, Ben Shuai needs to take a break." Zeng Guofan took a deep breath and said.
"Yes, the student obeys." Li Hongzhang said. (To be continued......)
