Luo Zenan came back in a daze and reported the whole story to Li Hongzhang, and Li Hongzhang couldn't help but be slightly stunned after listening to it. He obviously didn't expect this to happen, he expected the ending, but he didn't expect the plot of the story to be so dramatic.

In any case, in the final analysis, their plan to make the Hunan army lay down its arms and return to the field can only be frustrated in the end, and now, there is only one way left for the Hunan army, and it is a road of no return

Thinking of the bloody battle to the end, Li Hongzhang and Luo Zenan's hearts gave birth to a sense of tragedy, according to the comparison of the strength of the Qing army and the Hunan army, the Qing army has an advantage, and it is only a matter of time before they turn this advantage into victory, and the final outcome of the Hunan army seems to be doomed and irreversible. Is this the fate of the Hunan army?

The Hunan army in the past, what a majestic face, just ask, who in the world dares to beat its edge? But who would have thought that in retrospect, the Hunan army had fallen to the point where it was about to be destroyed. The vicissitudes of the sea have changed into mulberry fields, and the things of the world, if the contrast between the front and back is great, it is nothing more than this.

Li Hongzhang felt very uncomfortable in his heart, not only because of the grim situation that the Hunan army is facing now, but also because of his promise to Zeng Guofan, those words are still in his ears, but in an instant, the Hunan army has reached such an unbearable point, let me ask, even if he kills himself, in the underworld after a few years, how can he meet his mentor Zeng Guofan, he has a heavy trust!

Heroes are in the twilight, there will always be a lot of emotion, not to mention that now the Hunan army is at a critical moment, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as the end of the road, Li Hongzhang and others' feelings are complicated, it is needless to say.

In addition to worrying, Li Hongzhang has more things to remember, that is, the several groups of Hunan and Chu brothers in front of him, although his group is full of dangers, but with him, at least he can barely support it, but what happened to the Chu army led by Luo Bingzhang, Jiang Zhongyuan, and Liu Kunyi? What happened to Hu Linyi and Peng Yulin? Li Hongzhang is more worried.

Hearing the sound of the qin and knowing the elegance, Li Hongzhang himself is barely maintaining, not to mention other people, Li Hongzhang is a little afraid to think about it, but now that everyone is divided and surrounded by the Qing army, the news cannot communicate with each other, and Li Hongzhang can only do it in a hurry.

However, Li Hongzhang's worries are not superfluous, and the situation of the Chu army under the leadership of Luo Bingzhang is indeed not bad, in the face of the endless attack of the powerful forbidden army, they are in a similar situation to Li Hongzhang, in a state that can be supported at this time, but it is not far away to be destroyed.

Hu Linyi and Peng Yulin are even more unbearable.

Hu Linyi and Peng Yulin as the main breakthrough of the Qing army, received special care from the Qing army, at the beginning of the battle, under the surprise attack of the Qing army, their men and horses have fallen behind, although with the strength of the Hunan army, to find some ground, but the general trend has been all suppressed by the Qing army.

And under the repeated orders of Seng Lingqin, the Shence army launched an attack on Hu and Peng desperately. Although the Hunan army is doing its best, the defense line is already in turmoil.

Hu and Peng have done their best to lead all the Hunan army brothers, but unfortunately, they have no way to go to heaven and no way to go to the ground, and it is impossible to ask for help, even if they want to surrender, it is difficult, not to mention that the Hunan army is impossible, and they will never do this kind of surrender.

In the almost desperate and unyielding battle, the first line of defense to be broken through by the Qing army was the second group of Hunan troops led by Hu Linyi, and the Qing army poured in from all sides to besiege and kill the remaining Hunan soldiers with murderous means.

After the overall defense line was breached, the Hunan army was immediately divided into small teams, and several or dozens of people formed a small team to fight against the Qing army. The Qing army used the same strategy to deal with it, but in terms of personnel arrangement, the Qing army often overwhelmed every combat squad of the Hunan army with double or even several times the number of people.

If it is said that the offensive and defensive battles in the previous stage relied on everyone's teamwork, then from this moment on, the two sides competed in the ability of individual soldiers, who was stronger and more ruthless.

The brutal fight has entered a new phase.

In one-on-one, or one-to-several battles, the Hunan army often bursts out with strong combat effectiveness, and they often single-handedly pick out many people in the Qing army, staging the myth of breaking the enemy alone, but the myth is not reality after all, and the strength of the combat power cannot cover up the gap in comprehensive strength between the Hunan army and the Qing army.

No matter how strong a person's strength is, he is just one person, and people's energy is limited, and there must be a time when the energy is exhausted.

The powerful Hunan army could not escape this law.

In the battle, the Hunan army was stabbed to death one after another, cut their throats, beheaded, pierced through their chests, and even cut off by their waists.

As long as you take a look at the surroundings of every Hunan army that died in battle, those who have seen it may have realized what kind of soldier the Hunan army is.

Around every Hunan army that died in battle, there will be pieces of fallen Qing troops, and the Hunan army was of course finally beheaded and killed... But the Qing army's death was not much better, even better than the Hunan army, the Qing army also had beheaded, was inserted to death, but a large part of it was ground to death by the Hunan army.

Maybe it was the exhaustion of a trace of strength, or maybe it was the exhaustion of a drop of blood, the unyielding of the Hunan army adopted the most primitive way, which can be found in the corpses of some dead Qing soldiers.

Among these dead Qing soldiers, there are some people whose noses are gone, as if they have been bitten off by something, there are some people whose ears are missing, as if they have been gnawed by dogs, and there are still some people whose fingers are missing, but they are not as neat as they were cut by a knife, but have traces of being patronized by teeth, and even more, the goods in the crotch are broken, and the sticky hara flows all over the ground, which makes people feel disgusting when they look at it.

If you look closely at the faces of these Qing soldiers, their faces are distorted, and they must be very painful when they die, and from some of the eyes that are not blind, you can see a trace of fear from the depths of the heart.

Perhaps, it was these unyielding Hunan troops who frightened the Qing army.

In this battle, even if the last winner was the Qing army, the Hunan army was destined to be a nightmare that would never linger in their minds, because the Hunan army brought them an unforgettable impression and even fear.

In this battle, from beginning to end, not a single Hunan army surrendered, and they truly fulfilled their promise to fight to the end.

This battle also makes the cruelty of war truly interpreted here. But this battle is far from over, it is still going on, and both sides simply cannot stop.

Just when Hu Linyi led the army in a bloody battle, the defense line supported by Peng Yulin was also broken.

After breaking through the defensive line, the fighting between the two sides continued in an even more brutal manner.

In the confrontation with the Qing army, the Hunan army led by Peng Yulin was more tenacious, more fearless of death, and more fearful of the Qing army.

Monk Greenqin looked at the situation on the battlefield, his fists couldn't help but clench, he never thought that the war would go on to such a point, the powerful small universe that the Hunan army broke out before he died made his heart a little frightened. He had to admit that the Hunan army was the most combat-ready army he had ever seen.

Although there is some truth in what Monk Greenqin said, it is not entirely correct, at least, if the Taiping Army joins in, Monk Greenqin will not think like this, he will suddenly feel that the Taiping Army is the most effective army.

"Wenbing, we can't delay any longer, let the reserves go up and solve these two Hunan troops as soon as possible." Monk Greenqin took a deep breath and seemed to have made a lot of determination.

"Lord Wang, it's a bit inappropriate to go to the reserve team so soon." Guo Wenbing, who was standing beside Monk Greenqin, was a little worried.

"No, the Hunan army is already at the end of its strength, don't wait for a while at this time, don't hesitate, listen to the king's order, and go now." Monk Greenqin's tone was unmistakable.

"Yes, Lord Wang." Although Guo Wenbing had different opinions, he could only carry out the order of Seng Greenqin.

If according to Guo Wenbing's thoughts, he does not want to dispatch the reserve at this time, in his mind, the reserve is not only the reserve of the Shence Army, but also the reserve of the whole army, if he rushes up at this time, he will definitely not be able to get out for a while, once the battle situation changes, then they will have no soldiers to send, it is quite dangerous, but since Seng Lingqin has already given the order, Guo Wenbing is inconvenient to insist, so he can only go up.

A moment later, the reserve team personally led by Guo Wenbing appeared behind Hu Linyi. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (biquge.info) to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation ......)
