Chapter 80: Citi Lin Zhengyang

Although the Taiping army won a great victory in the first battle and captured almost the entire territory of Nanwu, it was only "almost".

At that time, the county seat of Nanwu was not in today's Pingchuan Town, but in Zhongbao Town, Zhongbao Town began to garrison troops from the Song Dynasty, called Wusuo, and the Taiping Army at that time almost knocked down the entire territory of Nanwu, and even the outer city of Wushu has been conquered, but it is the inner city of this Wushu that is firmly guarded.

There is a saying that Hades is better than imps.

The person guarding the inner city of this martial arts station is not the Fujian envoy, nor the Fujian governor, let alone the general of the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan, but a small seven-rank green battalion to supplement the garrison.

This person's name is Zhao Yixiong, a low-level officer who climbed up step by step from the army, and he is a martial artist, but this person knows the way of using soldiers, and has hoarded grain and grass for nearly three years early, plus the inner city of the martial arts is built with reference to the standard of the Jinling city wall, which is extremely strong and abnormal, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Zhao Yixiong is even more fortified and clear, training the green camp garrison and the recruited township soldiers in an orderly manner, concentrating superior forces to defend in the inner city, the throat of the Taiping army was broken when he scolded the formation, and the eighteenth generation of the ancestors scolded all over again, but this Zhao Yixiong just couldn't shrink, so Lin Zhengyang was helpless.

King Kang Wang Haiyang did not plan to defeat the entire territory of Nanwu, in fact, what he planned was the chaotic tactics of attacking the east and attacking the west, intending to disrupt the deployment of the Qing army, and his real purpose was to transfer the main force to join the main force of the servant Li Shixian as soon as possible, in order to form a powerful joint force as soon as possible.

After Lin Zhengyang got the order, he went all the way from Nanwu County to fight, and along the way he fought in Tingzhou, Shanghang, Nanyang and other places, but at this time, Zhang Yunlan's son Zhang Hengxiang had the intention of avenging his father, and he was tightly entangled with the troops led by Lin Zhengyang all the way.

On the eighth day of October, when Yan Shiyi was forced to retreat to the city wall of the inner city of Wushu with Lin Zhengyang's subordinates, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seems that the hard battle of nearly a month has been in vain!

Now I have to face this impregnable inner city of the martial arts again!

But this time is different, the last time it was an attack, this time it is a belly and back enemy.

At this time, Lin Zhengyang's 8,000 people were surrounded by the 20,000 people of the Qing army general Fang Yao, forming a particularly strange situation.

The inner city of Wushu was entrenched by Zhao Yixiong and could not be captured for a long time, and the Taiping army led by Lin Zhengyang occupied the outer city of Wushu and surrounded the inner city, but outside the outer city of Wusuo, all of them were 20,000 Qing troops led by Fang Yao, and Lin Zhengyang's biggest problem came.

What is the biggest problem with the 8,000 people?

The people live on food, and the army is the same.

This biggest problem is the lack of food, especially when Lin Zhengyang lost a large amount of grain and grass when he retreated from Tingzhou, the entire army was numerous, and the surplus grain was almost exhausted, Lin Zhengyang finally decided to take the risk of breaking through.

Yan Shiyi clearly remembered that in the early morning of this day, he was tightly pulling a war horse and was lying low in the bamboo forest on the flank of the outer city of Wushuo.

Hearing the sound of the Qing army's drums, he looked into the distance, at this moment, in the red soil that covered the sky and the sun, he vaguely saw the dense Qing army dragon flag in front of him, and countless Qing army sword players rushed out, advancing towards the second line of defense in the outer city occupied by the Taiping army.

They strode across the first line of defense, this line of defense had been lost two days ago, the corpses of more than 1,000 Taiping soldiers were thrown here, the position was full of traces of red-coated artillery bombardment, feather arrows were messily inserted in every inch of land, from time to time there were scattered jackdaws fluttering their wings and flying, panickedly throwing away the corpses pecked in their mouths, and heavy gunpowder smoke was constantly rising everywhere in front of them, and there were vague painful wails of the wounded who were still alive.

This is not war, this is purgatory in the underworld......

Yan Shiyi frowned and sighed deeply.

At this moment, "Whew! "A rain of arrows suddenly rose from the enemy line and flew towards the second line of defense outside the city!

The Taiping spearmen in yellow uniforms on the second line of defense were caught off guard, and were suddenly disrupted by the rain of arrows, and when the sword players behind them stepped forward, countless soldiers were pierced by sharp arrows in their chests, and let out a terrible howl.

"General Yan Kai, let's ......" Xiao Qi next to him squatted beside Yan Shiyi and asked in a low voice, he seemed to have seen this tragic scene, and his heart was anxious.

Yan Shiyi waved his hand and said, "Wait a little longer......"

He stared closely at the battle situation in front of him, and saw that the two thousand sword players of the Qing army had advanced to thirty zhang away from the second line of defense, and the one thousand archers behind him carried out another round of volleys, at this time, the power of the feather arrows was even more ferocious, and the sword players of the Taiping army were so pressed that they couldn't raise their heads, and suddenly there was a roar like thunder in their ears!

"Kill—"

The musketeers of the Taiping Army squeezed out desperately from behind the sword players, and released the last row of guns without the slightest aim.

This row of guns splashed sparks, and the dense projectiles shattered the Qing soldiers who were charging forward in an instant!

But this only caused the enemy formation to stagnate slightly, and there were still countless Qing soldiers pouring into the defense line of the Taiping army!

The musketeers of the Taiping Army threw away their muskets, drew their short blades without hesitation, and rushed into the battle formation with the knife players.

The Qing army and the Taiping army were all killed, although the Taiping army built a tunnel, but the number was inferior, and the Qing army was gradually forced to retreat under the city wall, and could only fight the trapped beasts.

The Taiping archers on the outer city walls were shooting covering, but the fire of the Hongyi cannons weighed them down.

At this time, the remaining Taiping soldiers under the city had already fought with the Qing soldiers to the point of almost dying.

Suddenly, Yan Shiyi felt a bang on his side!

A war horse rushed past him and rushed out of the bamboo forest, on which a bearded man in a red cloak held a big knife and shouted: "Brothers, success or failure is here!" ”

He swung his sword forward and shouted hoarsely, "Father bless me!" Destroy the Qing Demon—"

This person is none other than that!

It was Lin Zhengyang, the coach of the Taiping Army!

Yan Shiyi saw that the eldest brother was bravely taking the lead, only to feel the blood boiling all over his body, jumped on the horse, pulled out the big knife on his waist with a "swish", and responded loudly: "Brothers, follow Brother Lin!" Destroy the Qing Demon—"

"Heavenly Father bless me—"

"Destroy the Qing Demon—"

Lin Zhengyang took the lead with a war horse flying with a big sword, and the bamboo forest was suddenly dusty, and countless cavalry pierced out of the bamboo forest, closely following the main general and rushing out desperately!

Yan Shiyi clamped the war horse hard, and the war horse suddenly galloped out of pain, he raised the snow bright war knife above his head, pointed forward hard, and shouted hoarsely: "Rush!" ”

Countless cavalry followed him, like a raging and roaring torrent, and instantly rushed into the dust that covered the sky and the sun!

These cavalry are the killer weapons of Lin Zhengyang who has been lurking on the flanks for several days!

They hid in a low position for several days, taking advantage of the Qing saber players advancing to the second line of defense, and the two sides were caught in a scuffle, and then poured out of the bamboo forest on the flank!

War horses are as fast as a gale!

Fast as thunder!

The big sword is bright!

Swear to drink the blood of the enemy!

Ten steps to kill one!

Thousands of miles without staying!
