readx;?? ……
It's dawn. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
From the beginning of the three quarters of an hour to the beginning of the hour, it was already the beginning of the hour, except for half an hour to cross the river, the rest of the time was in a state of battle.
During this period, Li You's worth, in Tang Yougeng's mouth, has soared from five hundred taels of silver to fifty thousand taels, a hundredfold increase. And the third level of official promotion also mentioned the deputy chief soldier - this is already the highest price that Tang Yougeng can give.
The Taiping army that crossed the river was not able to fulfill their strategic intentions. Before the end of the time, the whole army was annihilated under the repeated attacks of artillery, firecrackers and bayonets.
In fact, the number of Taiping troops who crossed the river safely was not large. Not even half of them. Most of them were swept away by the surging river, or the ships were bombarded by artillery fire and perished halfway. The boats that hit the shore were also destroyed by the guns of the Qing army, and the Taiping army on the other side could not support it, and finally rushed to the shore for a period of time, and was overwhelmed by the Qing army with superior forces, and finally divided and wiped out. It's just that although the Qing army won this battle, it can only be described as a tragic victory.
No, the war is not over.
Tang Yougeng's face was blue, and with the support of two personal soldiers, he barely stood firm. Fifty meters in front of him, a mountain of corpses of about five meters rose from the ground. At the top of the corpse mountain, Li You's hair was scattered, his eyes were red, like a demon god, his mouth let out an angry roar, and he held a machete that had already been curled in his hand. Although he had prepared a few knives before leaving, after a few hours of bloody fighting, the knives he used had worn out and were discarded.
"Die...... Why the hell aren't you dead......" Tang Yougeng scolded angrily from afar. The heart is like a knife. In order to kill the demon god-like man in front of him, he commanded several battalions of soldiers and horses, and lost more than 600 people. In the Taiping Army's shock formation, the Qing army's total attrition was only more than 300 soldiers killed, and more than 500 were seriously injured. This is a team pulled up by his hand, and it is also the foundation based on the troubled times, once lost, then his official career will be in jeopardy.
At first, Tang Yougeng saw that Li You was fierce, and although he was terrified in his heart, he didn't care about it after all. In the military array, there will always be one or two enemies of 100 people. But times are no longer the same. No matter how powerful the force is, under the guns of the foreigners, it will only be broken to pieces.
But after the organized platoon of guns hit the other party round by round and couldn't hurt the other party at all, Tang Yougeng really panicked. I have heard for a long time that the long-haired demon worships God, and there is the help of the gods. He didn't believe it. But at this moment, I saw Li You so brave. Tang Yougeng was also surprised in his heart: Could it be that this god of God's religion, seeing that the situation of the long-haired demon was in danger, he sent a god and man to help?
In my heart though shocked. Tang Yougeng knew that he must not show any panic. Otherwise, the good end of the defense line will fester, and it will not be repaired. So he continued to raise the price and encouraged the Qing army, which was killed by Li You, to come and strangle.
Wealth touches people's hearts, and in this troubled world, human life is a worthless thing. In addition to his strong ability to resist blows, Li You did not show the immortal ability of calling the wind and rain and scattering beans into soldiers.
The soldiers inevitably had luck in their hearts. After Tang Yougeng deliberately preached that the long-haired thief had only practiced hard qigong such as iron cloth shirts and golden bell jars, so he was invulnerable. But as long as the wheel tactics let him loosen up in one breath, it will become a ball, and he can kick it as he wants.
For the sake of 50,000 taels of silver and the position of deputy commander-in-chief, everyone put their lives and deaths on the line.
Li You is not at ease with his life or death. After listening to Shi Dakai's words, Li You already regretted a lot in his heart. It is true that at the very beginning, Li You felt that it was the most accurate thing for him not to interfere with the direction of history. However, Li You knows better that if the trajectory of history continues to operate normally, there will be people who will revive China in the future. But should the people who have been devastated during this period of a hundred years of humiliation endure in silence until the arrival of the Savior?
As Shi Dakai said. He believes in all those good things, but what he sees at the moment is only the people of Li who are hungry and cold, and they are easy to eat.
People, you can't expect the future.
"Regret not killing Luo Bingzhang!" Li You sighed in his heart. At this time, the Taiping army had already embarked on a definite path to destruction. Li You tried his best to save the sky, but he couldn't do anything. The courage of the horseman actually plays a very small role in the military formation, just like he is at the moment. Although he killed and injured countless opponents by himself, none of the soldiers who came with him were gone.
"Mentor ......"
Shi Dakai waited on the other side for the night. When the assault fleet did not return to continue transporting troops, Shi Dakai knew that the defeat of this last battle was decided. It's just that he still doesn't believe that the final outcome is like this.
At dawn, the rain cleared. Through the clairvoyant mirror, Shi Dakai had already seen the tragic situation of the Taiping army on the other side. It's just that the fighting on the other side of the strait has not stopped. A familiar figure, majestic, standing on a hill, not a mountain of corpses, roared angrily in his mouth, and the steel knife in his hand waved like the wind, constantly cutting down the Qing army that rushed up, and the hill where the corpses were piled up under his feet became higher and higher......
"Teacher......" Shi Dakai whispered in a trembling voice. Li You's voice before he left lingered in his ears: "Yada, I promised you...... As long as I'm alive, I can still move...... I will definitely be able to help you kill all these Qing troops, not only kill them, but also help you build a ...... The kingdom of heaven you want......"
It's just that Li You gradually found that he was already a little difficult to move. The power provided by Kun Fu has been almost squandered by him, and the true qi in his body is almost exhausted. If it weren't for the fact that he had to pull out the Qi before, and his skills in using True Qi had been greatly improved, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to support it for so long.
Li You originally thought that as long as he killed enough people, the Qing army would collapse. Still fighting for a little chance for the Taiping Army. But at this moment, it seems that although the Qing army is unbearable, but under the encouragement of money, there are many people who are not afraid of death. He didn't even understand? The Qing army, which was so brave in front of him, why did it collapse at the touch of a foreigner?
"Lord Commander, the reinforcements have arrived...... A personal soldier ran to Tang Yougeng's side from afar, knelt down with a plop, and couldn't help but be ecstatic on his face: "The Governor personally led 10,000 Hunan troops to help, and there are still three miles to the river...... Our army is saved! ”
Saying the words "our army is saved" made the soldiers themselves feel ridiculous. Tang Yougeng had five thousand military horses in his hands, but at this moment, there was only one enemy left in front of them. But Tang Yougeng, who had not participated in the battle from beginning to end, and his own soldiers had a feeling that the thousands of Qing troops in the entire camp were likely to be killed by the demonic, tireless long-haired thief in front of them.
And Tang Yougeng had no doubt that as long as the other party had enough time, there would be no problem in killing his thousands of people. If the reinforcements don't come again, I'm afraid the soldiers under his command will really collapse.
