Chapter 320: A Deeper Battle
"Mr. Luo, according to you, the Xiang army's experience may be worse than that of the Chu army, right?" Zeng Guofan sighed for a while and suddenly asked.
"This is exactly what the subordinates are worried about, at the beginning, the subordinates discussed with the military division, and the army was divided into four to go out of the city, although after being besieged, the information was not smooth, and most of the situation was unknown, but with reference to the Qing army's combat deployment of the Chu army, the group of men and horses led by the military division and General Luo may be better, but the two groups of men and horses led by General Hu and General Peng are a little difficult to say, according to the estimates of the subordinates, Hu Peng's second army is the focus of the Qing army's breakthrough, I am afraid that it is now in a bitter battle." Luo Bingzhang nodded, and a touch of worry appeared on his face.
"If that's the case, the Hunan army is really in danger." Zeng Guofan frowned, and a look of anxiety crept up his face.
"Marshal, my subordinates think that without further ado, the army should go to the rescue of the brothers of the Hunan army as soon as possible." Luo Bingzhang said anxiously.
"Well, it's urgent. The commander redeployed, and General Yu Yilong led an army of 40,000 to assist the Chu army to clean up the mess here, while the commander personally led the army to rescue the Hunan army. "As the saying goes, saving people is like fighting a fire, and it's always good to be early a moment, Zeng Guofan is well aware of the truth.
"Yes, but by arrangement." Luo Bingzhang obeyed the general's order.
After a while, everything was ready, and Zeng Guofan, with Duan Yihu as the vanguard, ordered the army to continue to march forward.
At this time, the Qing Forbidden Army, which was originally holding the Chu army in this battlefield, had basically been completely suppressed by the Taiping Army and the Chu Army, and there was no way to stop Zeng Guofan's army from advancing forward. I could only watch as the Taiping army swept all the way, breaking through the defense line that they had so hard to build, and marching away.
Duan Yihu held a wooden stick in his hand, all the way forward, all the blockers were invincible, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to the place where the Qingshen army and the Hunan army under Hu Linyi were fighting.
Duan Yihu looked forward, and what imprinted into his eyes were one tragedy after another, one by one after the Hunan army was exhausted, and was slaughtered by the Shence army several times his own. See this scenario. Duan Yihu's heart was on fire. Enraged, he let out a loud shout, waved the wooden stick in his hand, and smashed it head-on to a Shence army. The smashed Divine Army was like a cannonball from a trebuchet. Fly out of the distance at once. The blood in his mouth spurted wildly in the direction he flew out until it smashed over a row of people. He fell to the ground and didn't move.
Seeing that Duan Yihu was so powerful, the surrounding Shence army was agitated for a while, and after a while, they all hurriedly dodged, as if they were hiding from the plague god.
Duan Yihu didn't stop after this quick blow, he danced the stick in his hand more urgently, he smashed and poked, and the stick would see blood, only a moment of effort, there were already many Shence soldiers killed under his stick.
And with Duan Yihu's recklessness, the Taiping army behind him had also fought with the Shence army, and the two sides immediately fell into a scuffle.
The Hunan army, which was surrounded, saw that it was the Taiping army coming, and let out a shout, no matter whether they were in danger or not, their spirit immediately skyrocketed a hundredfold, and they fought back against the Shence army even more desperately
After Hu Linyi's Hunan army broke through the defense line by the Shence army, it has been insisted on for a long time by turning it into a small team, although they made the Shence army pay several times more casualties than themselves, but after all, the Shence army has an absolute advantage in numbers, so the battle has reached seven or eight out of ten casualties in the battle, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as heavy casualties.
Soon after, Zeng Guofan also arrived, when he saw this scene in front of him, he was even more heartbroken, he ordered the army, do their best to rescue the Hunan soldiers who were still surrounded, as long as there is a Hunan army soldier alive, then it must be rescued at any cost.
The combat effectiveness of the Shence Army was very average, compared with the wolf-like Taiping Army, it was not at the same level at all, and in addition, they had been fighting with the Hunan Army for so long, and they were already very tired, so as soon as the Taiping Army rushed, the Shence Army was a little chaotic.
The next rescue work went very smoothly, not long after, four or five thousand Hunan troops have been rescued, all the Hunan army escaped death, are crying with joy, Zeng Guofan saw this scene, his nose was sore, and tears almost fell.
While comforting these rescued Hunan soldiers, he asked them if they had seen General Hu Linyi, many people shook their heads, only a few people who had seen Hu Linyi and Guo Wenbing fight, saying that General Hu had disappeared after a previous battle with a member of the Qing army.
After Zeng Guofan heard this, he was shocked, and he hurriedly sent an order to Duan Yihu, no matter what method was used, Hu Linyi's whereabouts must be found. As the old saying goes, a thousand armies are easy to obtain, and a general is hard to find, such as Hu Linyi, if it is so unexplained and gone, it is really a pity, and more importantly, Hu Linyi has followed Zeng Guofan for many years, Zeng Guofan has treated him as a brother, and the relationship is not ordinary.
Duan Yihu got the order, and immediately led people to kill them deeper.
After killing some time ago, Duan Yihu suddenly saw that on a dirt slope, a bloody man who had been stained red with blood was surrounded by a large group of Shence troops, and a large number of corpses of Shence troops had fallen around him, and there were thousands of Shence troops besieging him.
Duan Yihu was secretly frightened, he didn't know where this bloody man was, and he could attract such "preferential treatment" from the Shence Army.
"Ha, ha, turtle son, you cowards, come on, see how the master cleans you up." The bloody man's laughter drifted in the wind from afar, and although Duan Yihu was far away, it was also clearly audible.
It seems that this guy is still optimistic and surrounded by so many people, he can still say such cool things, Duan Yihu thought to himself.
"What's wrong, scared? Aren't you very powerful, and you're still afraid of me? It seems that you are just a silver spear wax head, and you are useless. "The bloody man is the ultimate mockery.
Although the Shence army surrounding him could hear the mockery in the tone of the bloody man, they didn't know if Lu Dao was afraid of killing this person in front of him, everyone was you look at me, I look at you, and none of them were willing to come forward to fight with him.
The bloody man looked at the crowd cowering and laughed louder than before.
"There are so many of us, why are we afraid that he will do it alone, no matter how powerful he is, isn't he just alone? There are so many of us together, you shoot, I stab, if you don't believe it, you can't stab him to death. I don't know who is in the Shence army, and muttered.
"Yes, yes, let's go together." Someone chimed in.
As more and more people agreed, everyone seemed to be much bolder, and they grabbed the weapons in their hands with both hands, and slowly approached the bloody man in four directions.
"Huh... Ha...... Finally figured it out? Very good, this is decent, come on, let General Ben kill happily. The bloody man laughed again, then waved the spear in his hand and shouted loudly.
Everyone in the Shence Army was a little frightened by his laughter, and involuntarily took a few steps back, and the little courage they had just raised seemed to be starting to leak down again.
"Hey, are you going to fight or not?" The man seemed a little impatient.
"Don't be afraid of him, let's kill him." I don't know if Lu Dao was angered by the bloody man, or if there were really people in the Shence army who were not afraid of death, but after hearing a shout, someone took the lead and rushed towards the bloody man.
When people get together, there is a common problem, that is, they like to follow the trend, A sees that B does not move, then A does not move, and B sees that C does not move, then he will not move, and at the end of the day, everyone does not move. However, once one person moves, the others will move one after another, like a dog seeing a bone, as if they are afraid of being a beat slower than others.
This man is really funny sometimes.
So, when one of the Divine Commanders began to move, the others rushed towards the bloody man like a hornet that had been plucked off.
"Good time!" After the Bloody Man screamed, he waved the spear in his hand and began to harvest life at will.
One stubble after another, the Divine Ce Army fell, and more Divine Ce Army rushed over again, and so on, endlessly.
The battle continued, and more and more people fell beside the bloody man, and his strength slowly passed away with the dead.
When the bloody man held his breath and overturned a group of Shence troops who rushed up the dirt slope, he suddenly felt uneven breathing, and then panted.
He took the time to put the spear on his hand, looked at the Shence army that was still surrounding, shook his head and smiled bitterly, he knew that his strength was about to run out, and it was impossible to kill it anymore, let alone break through the siege, but it was enough to kill so many Qing troops, and the only thing he couldn't rest assured about was that the soldiers under his command who were still fighting bravely could highlight the last few soldiers.
It would be nice if the big handsome could come in time, the big man has already entered the city, and he must not be far from here, but he may not be able to see the big handsome again. didn't bring these soldiers under his command out of the city alive, I hope the marshal doesn't blame, because he has really done his best, and the blood man thinks of this, and his heart is very uncomfortable.
Seeing that Rulin's knives and guns were in front of him again, he used his last breath to push these knives and guns away, and he no longer had the strength to sit on the ground.
He simply closed his eyes and waited for that moment to come, and at this time, he thought of a word, seeing death as home.
Just as the bloody man closed his eyes and waited to die, a sudden sound of breaking the air sounded around him, and then a chaotic shout sounded around him.
Hearing that the situation had changed, he hurriedly opened his eyes, and he found that the Shence army that surrounded him was fleeing in all directions, and some of them were falling to the ground with injuries, and he was frightened in his heart, and was about to find out, when suddenly a rough voice sounded in his ears.
"May I ask the general's surname?" (To be continued......)
