Chapter 572: Easy Victory
"Brothers, today's things are difficult to be good, only by fighting to the death, can there be a glimmer of life, the worst, that is, killing one is enough, killing two people to earn one, life in the world, even if it can't be vigorous, at least you need to be worthy of your heart, brothers, don't say more, it's a hero, kill me!" Ruan Tianyi's eyes swelled with determination, and his gaze slowly slid over the faces of the people in the Southern Army, and then raised his arms and shouted.
Ruan Tianyi really plans to fight.
And Ruan Tianyi's encouraging words did have a great effect, and when all the Nanyang troops heard it, they were all in high spirits, and they made peace with the sound of killing.
At first glance, the momentum is not small.
When Zeng Guohua saw this, he smiled, he didn't think that the fish in the net could make many waves, at most it was just a few jumps, and in the end he still couldn't escape the control of the Taiping Army.
However, having said that, some necessary preparations still had to be made, so Zeng Guohua secretly gave the army an order and prepared to kill him.
After the Nanyang Army lifted its spirits, it rushed towards the Taiping Army under the leadership of Ruan Tianyi.
The shouting of killing shook the sky, and the Nanyang people were ready to fight to the death.
I have to say that their courage is commendable, but the Nanyang people should not forget that they are facing the hoplites of the Taiping Army, and these hoplites were originally specially used to deal with the Nanyang Army, even if the Nanyang Army is at its peak, they may not be able to defeat the hoplites of the Taiping Army, not to mention that now, they are a group of remnants, it is even more impossible to be the opponent of the Taiping Army, maybe the Taiping Army only needs a back and forth charge, they will collapse directly.
Despite this, Zeng Guohua was still prepared to be cautious, and he could not be extraordinarily despised just because the enemy was weak, because he understood. Arrogance often comes at a price.
Therefore, when the Nanyang Army rushed over, Zeng Guohua's eyes flashed, and then he saw his right hand slowly raised, and then slowly fell, and finally. A word squeezed out between his teeth: "Dry".
After speaking, he raised the big knife in his hand and pointed directly at Ruan Tianyi.
The hoplites behind him were also spread out in formation, and were in formation, with the archers drawing their bows and the shield-bearers holding up their shields, and all the generals holding up their weapons.
They waited for the prey to come to the door on its own.
And the distance between the two armies is not far, according to the speed of the Nanyang Army's running, it is only a blink of an eye. Without saying hello, the two armies collided violently.
Then, I heard the sound of bang, bang, bang, swish, and puff, and then there was a shout, a scolding, and a howl. And along with this comes blood, bright red blood. Blood splattered, body parts flew sideways, and corpses fell in rows.
The scene was bloody and chaotic, the air was filled with all kinds of smells, and everyone in the battlefield had only two words in their minds at this time. Life and death, either life or death.
And where is this world, this is completely purgatory, there is no human thinking here, only the outbreak of animal nature. Only life and death, either you die or I die, no one hesitates, no one is merciful, all people are cogs on this war machine, a qiē action is no longer under their own control, as long as the machine turns, it has to rotate.
This is war, this is the fight of cold weapons, extraordinarily real, extraordinarily terrifying, and extraordinarily cruel.
When you cut off the head of the person opposite with a knife, you don't even have time to think about it, and your head may fall to the ground.
That's how cruel it is.
But the course of this war did not surprise Zeng Guohua.
Because, this is not an equal war, the Taiping Army has an advantage in equipment and strength, where will the Nanyang Army be the opponent, so it is not so much a war between the Taiping Army and the Nanyang Army, but rather a one-sided massacre of the Taiping Army, a massacre of the Nanyang Army.
And the direct display of strength is tantamount to the hoplites of the Taiping Army directly crushing the poor Nanyang Army, and they are invincible.
In the face of such a powerful force, the Nanyang Army was scared and frightened, and at the beginning, they could still resist a little with that sharp energy, but soon, their will was crushed by this absolute power.
The shape of the war shì showed a one-sided situation, the Nanyang army hugged the head of the rat, and the Taiping army killed at the end.
This killing, the corpses of the Nanyang army were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river, and the Nanyang army kept asking for mercy and surrendering under such a ruthless killing, they are human beings, and they are also afraid of death.
People are afraid of death, especially when death is so close to them.
Perhaps surrender is their only way out.
And they had no choice but to surrender.
Therefore, the battle between the Taiping Army and the Nanyang Army came quickly and ended quickly, the Nanyang Army was originally a remnant army, and in front of the powerful Taiping Army, they were lambs, lambs to be slaughtered.
In the end, in order to avoid becoming a meal for the wolf of the Taiping army, this sheep could only lower its already comatose head and let the Taiping army dispose of it.
And the Taiping army was clearly the final victor.
In this battle, the remnants of the Southern Army totaled about 40,000 people, the Taiping Army killed a total of 21,000 people, and more than 19,000 people chose to surrender, if you count the 60,000 Southern troops who died in the fire before.
The 100,000 troops brought by Ruan Tianyi this time have been completely wiped out, and there is no piece of tiles left.
The Taiping army was full of attacks and won this one.
However, the only regret is that Ruan Tianyi ran away.
Ruan Tianyi took advantage of the chaos and ran away.
Zeng Guohua originally thought that this guy was a frank gentleman, but judging from the later situation, he was just a despicable villain, of course, this is only from the perspective of human nature, if from the way of the general, from the general direction, maybe Ruan Tianyi chose to escape, it seems that he should not be harshly criticized.
Because, a person who has achieved success and has always achieved fame and fame, who has not used countless blood and sacrifices to dye his military medal, and what they value is the final victory.
Moreover, future generations will only remember those who have won, who will remember those who have lost, and who will care about how much blood has been shed and how many people have died in the process.
Perhaps, at most, it is just a sigh of emotion afterwards.
That's the reality.
However, how did this Ruan Tianyi run? Isn't Zeng Guohua already eyeing him?
It turned out that after this guy lost to Zeng Guohua, he had already saved the idea of escaping, but he was not stupid, he knew better than anyone else that with their tens of thousands of remnants, how could he be the opponent of the Taiping Army, so if he wanted to escape smoothly, he had to make good use of this group of remnants.
Yes, Ruan Tien Ngai wanted to use these remnants of the Southern Army to find cover for himself, so as to ensure that he could escape along the way.
In other words, Ruan Tianyi was exchanging the lives of 40,000 southern troops for a life for himself.
This guy is weird.
However, he succeeded.
And Zeng Guohua also had a chance to catch Ruan Tianyi, he had already set his sights on Ruan Tianyi when the two armies had just begun to fight, but when he was about to catch up with Ruan Tianyi, somehow, Ruan Tianyi pierced through the east and avoided in the west, and the result was to avoid it, and then hide in the vast sea of people, thus making Zeng Guohua's efforts in vain.
Although Zeng Guohua was angry, he was helpless in the face of the sea of people.
Originally, he hoped that this guy would die in the chaos.
As everyone knows, in the end, he still let him run away.
However, although Ruan Tianyi's escape made this battle a bit of a fly in the ointment, on the whole, Zeng Guohua's trip can also be regarded as a complete merit, at least, the plan set by Huang Xu and others to besiege the city and send reinforcements has been completed.
Next, they should turn their guns and start dealing with Li Jingguo in Lang Son City.
That's the main thing.
As long as Lang Son City was taken, the Yue Bang would be placed under the control of the Taiping army.
At that time, those who ran away can be caught again.
Ruan Tianyi or something, they will all understand in the end that what they have done is just in vain. (To be continued......)
