Chapter 247: The Great War Is Over! Shi Dakai captured!

However, if the ammunition depots of the Taiping army were more dispersed, or hidden deeper, this would not have led to such a result.

This explosion.

It's really earth-shattering, earth-shattering.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

Su Yu was far away, and he could feel a huge sense of vibration.

The airship in the sky above has already risen desperately into the air, desperately escaping.

But it was still devastated by a strong shock wave.

It's like being pushed hard by a giant hand.

The entire airship shook violently in the air, as if it was about to disintegrate.

Su Yu was shocked to see it.

In fact, there have been meetings to discuss this point, and relevant experiments have also been done.

However, there has really never been such a large-scale explosion.

I also thought about using a long-delay fuse, but considering that the fuse was too long, the dropped bomb was carried away.

But fortunately.

Although these ammunition depots of the Taiping army were very, very large, they were also very extensive, and they were basically ordinary gunpowder.

So, this explosion is a series of explosions, not very dense instantaneous explosions.

The airships, despite their injuries, fled.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

The explosions continued for several minutes.

Flames in the sky.

Smoke fills the sky.

Shi Dakai and Chen Yucheng tried to save it at first, but soon stood motionless.

How else can it be saved?

And the defenders on the city wall of Hangzhou also straightened their necks one by one, as if they were watching a huge fireworks show.

I don't know how long I waited, but the explosions finally ended.

Shi Dakai and Chen Yuchengcai closed their eyes in pain.

Actually, someone mentioned that the ammunition depot was not placed in the cave of Phoenix Mountain.

But Shi Dakai has seen it himself, first of all, the cave is very narrow and can't be put down at all.

Secondly, there is natural spring water dripping inside, which is easy to wet the gunpowder.

And most importantly, the devil knows that there will be air strikes?

He felt that the direction he had chosen for the ammunition depot was completely secure.

Outcome......

Moreover, the Taiping Army is a group of the most superstitious troops, and seeing Su Yu flying from the air to attack, the blow to morale is even greater.

More than a quarter of an hour later.

One bad news after another came.

The first is casualties.

The explosion was so large that the bones of the soldiers guarding the ammunition depot were basically gone.

And at the moment of the explosion, he also saw that the soldiers around him were blown down like a strong wind blowing through a wheat field.

According to preliminary estimates, the explosions in these three places killed and injured several thousand people.

"Wing King, look, look at ......" Someone suddenly pointed to the east and said, "The flying monster of the Qing Demon seems to be about to fall." ”

Shi Dakai looked up and found that there was an airship that was indeed crumbling, and it was very badly injured, as if it had lost control, and was blown eastward by the wind, and it was constantly descending.

Immediately after that, another piece of news came.

"Wing King, our most important tunnel has also collapsed."

Shi Dakai's face twitched slightly.

The geological environment here is too poor, there is too much groundwater, and the tunnels will collapse if they dig one and collapse the other. So you can only use the most stupid method, digging and draining the water, and supporting it with planks and shelves.

In this way, I don't know how much manpower and material resources were used to dig a tunnel, which is only a few hundred meters away from the city wall.

As a result, the big explosion just now directly collapsed the tunnel, and all the sappers inside were buried inside.

Hearing this bad news, Shi Dakai's face was cold, and he kept looking at the airship, staggering and falling.

"Send two thousand cavalry to get the flying monsters of the Qing Demon for me, and catch the people above for me, I will cut them with a thousand knives!" Shi Dakai roared and ordered.

A quarter of an hour later, a cavalry of 2,000 men rushed towards the fields a dozen miles to the east.

Rush towards the crash of the airship.

On Su Yao's side, it was earlier.

"Teacher, I'll go ......" Wang Zhengyi, the commander of the cavalry battalion, immediately came to kneel and ask.

Seven years ago, this Wang Wu had already followed Su Yu and became his disciple.

Now, at the age of nineteen, he has become a cavalry battalion commander.

The last time he fought in Jiaxing, he made great contributions, beheaded the most, and was promoted to deputy commander.

Su Yu nodded and said, "First battalion, change to a fast gun." ”

"Yes!"

Wang Zhengyi shouted loudly: "First battalion, second battalion, follow me!" ”

Six hundred horsemen got on their horses and sped away towards the site where the airship crashed.

In fact, the rebel cavalry was much closer, if not closer, to the crash site.

However, they are slower to respond, and their horses are slower.

View from the air.

Two cavalrymen, one in front of the other, rushed towards the crash site.

The 2,000 cavalry of the rebel were in front, and Wang Zhengyi's 600 cavalry was behind.

The speed of the two sides is getting closer and closer.

The general of the rebel cavalry gave the order, leaving half of the broken back.

Suddenly, the cavalry of the 1,000 Taiping Army stopped, turned around, and fiercely rushed towards Wang Zhengyi's cavalry.

1,000 cavalry, 600 cavalry.

That familiar feeling is here again, that feeling of blood boiling.

"Rush Rush ......"

The two cavalry battalions led by Wang Zhengyi immediately instinctively took on the best battle formation in the shortest possible time.

The two sides are getting closer and closer.

There are still 200 meters to go.

Wang Zhengyi's two cavalry battalions opened heavy fire.

The cavalry battalion, in particular, loosened the reins with both hands and raised a long rifle.

The long spear was not suitable for cavalry combat, and the short spear did not fire continuously.

But the most elite cavalry battalion used Lianzhu spears at this time.

Fired wildly.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang......

Although the number was smaller, the density of fire was several times higher than that of the Taiping cavalry.

This group of Taiping cavalry had rifles, but they were only traditional rifles, but they were only equipped with a small number.

The rest are bows and arrows, swords.

This is an intensive shoot-off.

Wang Zhengyi's cavalry suddenly had an overwhelming advantage.

The cavalry of the Taiping army fell directly in a large area, and their formation was too dense.

After firing a round from the carbine of the 2nd Cavalry Battalion, he immediately inserted the holster and drew his combat knife.

And the 1st battalion of cavalry has been firing fiercely.

Directly drained all the bullets in the breech, and then also inserted the gun horizontally into the holster, and raised the knife violently.

"Rush, rush, rush......"

I'm invincible!

In this way, six hundred cavalry rushed forward with such ferocity.

Two cavalry teams collided in horror.

Like a knife cutting through butter, Wang Zhengyi's cavalry directly tore a huge incision in the rebellious cavalry array.

Short impacts.

A short dash.

After tearing it open, continue to rush forward, not fighting.

The remnants of the hundreds of cavalry rebelled in horror and searched for their generals.

However, the general of this thousand cavalry was already dead, and his head was directly cut off by Wang Zhengyi.

Led by several other generals, they regrouped with great difficulty and bravely pursued them.

Suddenly, the more than 1,000 cavalry who rebelled were divided into two groups.

A thousand people in front of them, continuing to rush towards the crash site.

Wang Zhengyi's more than 500 cavalry were in the middle, desperately chasing after him.

Six or seven hundred rebel cavalry pursued Wang Zhengyi from behind.

The advantage of Su Tuo's cavalry on war horses was too great.

Soon, the more than 500 cavalry led by Wang Zhengyi were getting closer and closer to the 1,000 rebel cavalry in front.

"Kill!"

A loud roar.

The more than 500 cavalrymen sped up sharply, brandishing their swords.

The entire cavalry procession, like sharp knives, rushed forward with a thousand rounds of counter-cavalry.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

There was a terrible crashing sound.

I don't know how many counter-cavalry shots, but they were directly knocked out.

I don't know how many war horses, directly broken bones and bones.

Screaming and falling to the ground.

Still not in love with the war, just tear open the array, and then continue to rush forward.

In this way, the two battalions of cavalry led by Wang Zhengyi rushed to the front.

Chen Yucheng, who was in a high place, saw this scene with a telescope and closed his eyes slightly painfully.

This is the real cavalry.

In comparison, the horses of their Taiping army were too short and too small.

Soon.

More than 500 cavalrymen led by Wang Zhengyi came to the crash site and directly rescued their comrades.

Next, oil is poured on the airship and explosives are planted.

Detonate violently!

Suddenly, the falling airship was directly blown to pieces and burned.

At this time, more than 1,000 cavalry who rebelled were about to catch up.

Just when everyone thought that a cavalry hedge battle was going to happen.

Because Wang Zhengyi's tactics of leading the cavalry just now were extremely brave and indomitable.

But......

The next scene is going to make people angry.

Gone are the brave and invincible style of play.

On the side, there is a lewd way of playing.

Kite flying.

Always about 100 meters away from the more than 1,000 cavalry who rebelled, and then kept firing.

A cavalry team of more than 500 people, several cavalry in a team, was well organized, and the formation changed with the terrain, but always maintained strong firepower.

After the front cavalry finished fighting, the rear cavalry immediately stepped up, allowing the front cavalry to retreat to the rear and finish loading the bullets on horseback.

Forever and the rebel cavalry more than 100 meters away.

In this way, the rebel cavalry fought less and less, and fought less and less.

I almost vomited blood.

Chase and can't catch up.

I can't beat it.

In this despicable style of fighting, less than half of the 2,000 cavalry who rebelled remained.

Finally, they could not bear it anymore, and the remaining seven or eight hundred cavalry began to retreat to return to the camp.

At this time, Wang Zhengyi led more than 500 cavalry to chase and kill.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang......"

When they chased a few tens of meters, there was another burst of gunfire, killing a large number of the rebel cavalry.

I...... !

The general of the rebel cavalry was furious, turned around again, and pursued Wang Zhengyi's cavalry.

And then......

Wang Zhengyi also reversed direction and distanced himself from the other party.

If you chase me, I will run, and if you run, I will chase.

Anyway, within a distance of more than 100 meters, I can only hit you, and you can't hit me.

In this repeated tug-of-war, there were fewer and fewer rebel cavalry.

In the end, all their cavalry was going to collapse.

The formation was scattered, and it was no longer possible to command.

Ignoring nothing, he just buried his head and rushed forward, looking in the direction of the army and fleeing.

At this time, Wang Zhengyi's cavalry returned to the fierce fighting style at the beginning.

A frenzied chase began.

A small team of several people, chasing and killing one or two targets.

Within the scope of local small battlefields, always maintain the superiority in numbers to fight more and less.

It's a pity that it's too far away and many people can't see it.

Otherwise, probably all the high-ranking generals will be fascinated.

It was a classic, flashy cavalry hunt.

Especially in the back, the play is too advanced.

Even only Wang Zhengyi's first cavalry battalion can fight, and the second cavalry battalion can no longer play such a high-level cooperation.

Because this cavalry battalion has been established for more than six years, it was Wang Shiqing's new army horse team at the earliest.

The second cavalry battalion has been formed for about four years.

It is really difficult for the new cavalry division, which has been practicing for more than half a year, to play such a match.

Chen Yucheng and Shi Dakai stood on the high platform and used binoculars to capture the battle situation here.

I don't know how long.

The battle is over.

One or two hundred rebel cavalrymen rushed into their camp.

Of the two thousand cavalry, one or two hundred were returned, and the rest either died, fled without a trace, or surrendered.

How tragic?

And Wang Zhengyi's cavalry troops, except for the first two charges, cut through the enemy array, there were dozens of casualties.

The kite tactics in the back, the casualties were minimal.

Seeing this scene of battle, Shi Dakai and Chen Yucheng's hearts were almost desperate.

Originally, it was just to fight for the crashed airship, just to kill people and vent their anger.

But he didn't expect to encounter a small battle, which caused a critical blow to the hearts of the two.

Wang Zhengyi led the remaining cavalry, bypassing the enemy camp and returning to the Su Yu camp.

The whole person is still in the excitement.

It's like being drunk.

Damn,,.

How did I type it?

It's awesome.

He joined the army at the age of sixteen and entered the horse corps.

It's been almost three years now, and I've participated in countless battles big and small.

Originally, I thought that the last battle of Jiaxing was the pinnacle, and with General Wang Shiqing, 5,000 cavalry broke down against 27,000 infantry.

I didn't expect that today, I played a more peak battle.

If nothing else, today's battle will make a huge breakthrough for the two battalions of cavalry.

I didn't expect that the tactics in the books would really reappear on the battlefield.

Even, better than in books.

……………………

Then, the battlefield fell silent.

Su Yu still did not take the initiative to attack.

And the 140,000 rebel army did not attack.

At this point, the data obtained is very complete.

Ammunition stocks, which were directly blown up eighty and a half.

The remaining ammunition, when fully counted, is enough for an army of 140,000 to fight for two days.

Chen Yucheng and Shi Dakai fell silent.

"It's better to use the sword before." Shi Dakai said suddenly: "At that time, our Taiping Army was invincible in the field, and there was no opponent at all. ”

Chen Yucheng didn't have much feeling about this sentence.

By the time he rose to prominence, the Taiping army had already used firearms on a large scale, and most of his victories were fought with firearms.

And this time, it was hit hard.

Firearms are good, but they require high ammunition.

How can you fight without ammunition?

It was the first time that an ammunition depot was blown up by an air raid.

Even, this is the first time in the whole world.

But why, it happened to us.

Even, Shi Dakai thought further. In the future battlefield, will it be the world of people like Su Yu? Is his understanding of the new type of warfare more profound and thorough?

And at this moment, there were bursts of sirens and noises outside.

The two of them were shocked, could it be that Su Yu launched a general attack?

Soon, a general rushed in and shouted, "The Winged King, the British King, the air monster of the Qing Demon, here again......"

Shi Dakai and Chen Yucheng rushed out of the camp tent and looked towards the sky.

Five airships crashed one.

The remaining four ships were injured, but they have been repaired in the past few days, after all, it is relatively easy to repair the airbags.

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

Dense bombs, falling from the sky.

And this time the bomb is smaller.

A dozen pounds of a bomb, dozens of them were dropped at one time.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

There were violent explosions.

Moreover, the bombs are all high-explosive, which is much more lethal.

But...... Even so.

In the face of an army of more than 100,000 troops, such casualties were minimal.

However, the blow to morale is indeed amazing.

And then, wave after wave.

A steady stream of air raids, a steady stream of bombing.

On the contrary side, I tried everything I could.

But to no avail.

Flying so high, you can't hit at all.

For days and nights, non-stop air raids, non-stop harassment.

Shi Dakai and Chen Yucheng almost wanted to ask Su Yu angrily, aren't you in a hurry?

Monk Greenqin and Shengbao's side, maybe they have already recovered Jinan Mansion, aren't you in a hurry at all?

After they recover Jinan Mansion, they may have to lead their army back to Beijing.

Time is on our side, not on your side, don't you take the initiative to attack?

……………………

The effect of this kind of air raid harassment will become smaller and smaller.

After all, there are too few airships, and they are slow. Moreover, during the air raid, most of the Taiping troops basically did not suffer any casualties as long as they jumped into the trenches.

It is still difficult to drop a bomb into a narrow trench from a height of several hundred meters.

But Su Yu didn't put hope in this area either.

He was also waiting.

and other artillery, and so on the fourth batch of new repeating rifles.

This day!

The last batch of munitions has finally arrived.

1,700 new repeating rifles.

Eighty-seven guns.

So far, there are more than 300 artillery pieces in the Su Tuo army.

With the addition of artillery in the city of Hangzhou, the total number reached 468 artillery pieces.

The last night of the military meeting.

"Tomorrow morning, at half past seven, launch a general attack!"

……………………

Tonight, Su To's airship did not come to harass him from the air raid.

Shi Dakai and Chen Yucheng already smelled the breath.

"Probably tomorrow, Su Yu will launch a general attack." Shi Dakai said: "And it's in the north. ”

Chen Yucheng said: "Yes, Hangzhou City has moved all the artillery that can be moved to the northern position. ”

The rebel army is also mobilizing.

Originally, there were only 40,000 troops in the northern position, but now 40,000 troops have been transferred, for a total of 80,000 troops.

It can't be continued, but the northern battlefield is so big that there can't be more troops.

The entire northern position is 3,900 meters long and 2,200 meters wide.

On an area of eight square kilometers, there are 80,000 troops on display, which is already very high.

The fortifications of the entire position, densely packed and intertwined, could not have been denser.

The command headquarters over there had rested early.

And the senior generals on Shi Dakai and Chen Yucheng's side couldn't sleep at night.

The remaining ammunition is enough to fight for two days.

If the intensity of the battle is extremely high, it may be enough to fight for a day.

So, tomorrow this battle.

Decide the winner and divide life and death.

And at the same time.

The seventy or eighty thousand troops of Seng Lingqin surrounded the city of Jinan.

The defenders of the Twist Army are also about 70,000.

For him, it was also a battle of fate.

On the monk's side, there are not as many artillery pieces as Su Liu, and there are more than 200 guns.

The moon stars are scarce.

Monk Lingqin continued to smoke and sighed: "I don't know how Su Yu is playing in Hangzhou?" ”

Du Xing'a had a cigarette in his mouth, kept burning, and didn't smoke it, just in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Monk Greenqin said.

Du Xing'a finally took a breath, then flicked off the cigarette ash, and said slowly: "I don't know what the battlefield in Hangzhou is different from us?" ”

Monk Grinqin did not speak.

Du Xing said: "It's probably a little different. ”

"Monk King, Su Yu often said that with great changes unseen in a century, we are not stepping on the junction line between the old and the new."

Monk Lingqin said: "I don't want to think about this, I just know that we must win this battle." Otherwise, the Eight Banners will be finished, and the foundation of the Qing Dynasty will be finished. ”

"Tomorrow's battle will decide the fate of all of us."

Then he shrunk and went into the tent to sleep.

Winter in Shandong is still very cold.

Early the next morning!

Sunny!

The morning sun has just risen into the sky, and there is a trace of warmth between heaven and earth.

There was no pre-war mobilization.

The 70,000 or 80,000 people under the command of Seng Lingqin all know that today's battle has decided the fate of countless people (some casualties, and some have been supplemented in Shandong Baqi and Green Battalion)

Monk Lingqin shouted: "Siege!" ”

With an order, more than 200 artillery pieces bombarded Jinan City.

The Armageddon of the Northern Battlefield has officially broken out!

……………………………………

Suzhou battlefield!

"Fire!" With Li Hongzhang's order.

Countless artillery pieces also began to bombard the city of Suzhou.

Li Hongzhang's side, 60,000 Hunan troops, 5,000 foreign guns.

On the defending side, Lin Qirong had 26,000 people and Li Shixian had 10,000 people.

"Fire!"

With an order, the artillery on the city of Suzhou also bombarded the position of the Hunan army.

The young Li Shixian, with a scruffy beard and smoking a cigarette, looked at the Hunan army under the city, revealing bitter hatred.

No, it would be wrong to describe his mood at this time with hatred.

It's the will to fight.

When facing Su Yu's army, Li Shixian's heart was not resolute.

But no matter what, in the Jiaxing battlefield, he Li Shixian was defeated.

So you need to prove yourself on another battlefield.

Li Hongzhang, do you want to recover Fuzhou City?

Unless you step over my corpse.

………………………………

Hangzhou battlefield!

Su Yu took out his pocket watch, and several senior commanders took out his pocket watch.

There are still more than ten minutes left before the general attack time.

However, today is not very lucky, the fog is relatively large.

There is no fog on the Jinan battlefield, and the fog on the Suzhou battlefield is very thin.

But on the battlefield of Hangzhou, the fog is relatively thick.

Ma Xinyi, who was next to him, looked at the pocket watch and said, "Enxiang, when will our Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau be put into production?" ”

Su Yu said: "It will probably take another year and a half. ”

Ma Xinyi said: "Can Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau produce such pocket watches?" ”

Su Yu shook his head and said, "It will probably take several years." ”

Whether it is a table clock or a pocket watch, Su Yu has extremely advanced drawings here, and if it is completely manual, it may not be impossible to make it.

However, nowadays, precious labor will not be used in clocks.

First make guns and bullets, then steam engines, and internal combustion engines.

At half past seven, the time was up.

The fog still hasn't lifted.

However, the artillery fired according to the coordinates.

Invisible, visible, all the same.

Eight square kilometers of ground, carpet bombing.

"Fire!"

On the artillery position outside the city, an order was given.

In the city of Hangzhou, an order was given.

Suddenly, more than 400 pieces of artillery bombarded fiercely.

The cannonballs rained down on the positions of the Taiping army.

And then......

The whole ground began to tremble.

The water of West Lake began to shake.

The birds of the surrounding mountains began to flee.

In a dense fog.

Bursts of fire erupted.

This should be the first time that an artillery bombardment of this scale has been carried out on the Chinese battlefield.

It even surpassed the Battle of Dagukou at that time.

All in silver.

Astronomical amounts of silver.

And so it kept bombing, bombing all the time.

Countless shells almost completely plowed through the eight square kilometers of the enemy's position.

Fa Wei hid in the trenches, shivering.

Isn't it over yet?

How long is it going to be fried?

The ears will be deaf, and the souls will be scattered.

The Taiping army also had a lot of artillery.

However, their ammunition depots were blown up, and even a large-scale artillery counterattack could not be done.

An artillery bombardment of this scale was a complete nightmare for the Taiping army.

Time hangs heavy on one's hands.

Round after round of shelling.

A baptism of steel rain.

In this terrible bombardment, the sun is getting higher and the temperature is getting hotter.

The fog lifted.

Finally......

I don't know how long it has been.

The shelling ended.

In the sky above the entire northern position, four airships were observing the entire battlefield, constantly using flags and reporting to the command.

The square kilometer of the northern position is already in shambles.

There were flames everywhere.

How many were killed?

I don't know, but not as much as I thought.

Because at the time of the bombing, the Taiping army was in the bunker.

But I don't know how many trenches were directly blown down, flattened, and buried by the earth.

"Is it over?"

"Is it over?"

One of the Taipings asked crying, and then came out of the mound.

An old soldier next to him, motionless.

He stepped forward to pick it up, and found that the other man had no scars on his body at all, but he was no longer breathing.

Bleeding from the mouth and nose, which was shocked to death alive.

"Rush!"

"Rush!"

With an order, the charging horns inside and outside the city sounded at the same time.

On the battlefield outside the city, more than 10,000 infantry of Su Wei began to charge.

Inside the city, more than 10,000 infantry divisions began to charge.

Fierce infantry battles, erupt!

…………………………………………

Thirty thousand, eighty thousand.

The Taiping army was very brave.

Even the deformed bravery, the courage to take the initiative to die.

Ammunition depots have been bombed, harassed by air strikes, and especially have just experienced an unprecedented bombardment.

So even though they have more troops, they are desperate and terrified in their hearts.

But in this kind of dark despair, there is a big death, taking the initiative to die, and a masochistic battle.

However, this bravery is scattered.

There isn't much command, there's not much organization.

Although the bombardment just now did not cause very astonishing casualties, it blew up the command structure of the Taiping Army.

The battlefield is evolving, but the evolution of the Hangzhou battlefield is the largest.

These 80,000 Taiping troops could not meet this change.

Airship observers observing the battlefield from the air meticulously issued flags to report on the battle situation.

But their hearts were shocked like never before.

It was the first time they had seen a war from this God's point of view, but it was also the first time they had seen such a war.

The fight was extremely violent.

The Taiping Army, in particular, fought almost frantically, dumping ammunition like crazy, even forgetting the fact that their ammunition could only last for a day or two.

But, the fight was so scattered.

Almost all of them are fighting on their own.

The huge superiority in forces cannot be brought into play at all.

Looking down from the air, I saw that Su Yu's two new armies, like countless sharp knives, were constantly cutting the battlefield.

Obviously, the Taiping army had a lot of troops and had the advantage of fortifications.

But I don't know why, every local battlefield is a situation where the Su army fights more and fights less.

Cut, surround, exterminate.

And so it goes on and on.

Most of the Taiping troops either stayed where they were and fired indiscriminately. Or bravely run around, looking for enemies to shoot.

and the battlefield of Jiaxing, exactly like two armies.

It's not because Shi Dakai and Chen Yucheng's troops are not as good as Li Shixian's troops.

The reasons for this are too complex.

Because one is a field battle, and the other is a street battle.

There is also a big reason, probably ...... There were too many Taiping troops.

When the number of people is large, the battlefield is chaotic, and the command system is lost.

In the street battle between the Jiaxing battlefield and Li Shixian, although there was a beautiful casualty ratio, Su Yu's army still paid huge casualties.

However, on the battlefield north of Hangzhou.

There were still a lot of casualties, because the Taiping army was too fierce to die.

However, the battle went too well.

It is smoother than the previous deduction again and again.

Shi Dakai watched as his position was cut into several large parts, and he lost command and contact with each other.

At this time, Ma Xinyi and the others, who were watching the battle with Su Yu on the mountain, really wanted to board the airship.

A battle that has never been seen before.

Will this battle go down in history?

However, admission to the Imperial Army Academy textbook is a certainty.

"Won!" Ma Xinyi couldn't help but say.

Although the war had just started for a short time, he could make this judgment.

Even Su Yu was excited.

So inadvertently, a textbook battle was fought?

This kind of campaign can best enhance the army's self-confidence and combat effectiveness.

Theory is theory, practice is practice.

When military theories are proven in actual combat, the self-confidence brought to the military is also incomparable.

"Win!"

Next, don't even look at it.

However, the army still has to devote 12 points of energy.

Although the outcome has been decided, the opponent of Su Yao's army today is himself.

Be in control.

Try to fight this battle as best as possible.

Make the least mistakes.

The results are the highest.

……………………………………

And just like that, the battle continued.

It's still very intense.

From morning to noon, and then into the afternoon.

Hit until dusk.

Beat corpses all over the field, and beat it to hell.

The Taiping army was still fearless of death, still firing indiscriminately and charging indiscriminately.

But halfway through the fight, Shi Dakai already knew that he was going to lose.

Because by this time, his command system had completely collapsed.

He couldn't even command any large force anymore.

On the battlefield of just a dozen miles, many troops are in a state of losing contact and fighting on their own.

"Me, is it outdated?"

"Shi Dakai, the invincible wing king before, why has he never won a decent battle since the Tianjing Opera Change?"

The henchman next to him said: "Wing King, run, run......"

Run?!

The battle isn't over yet, and at least half of the 80,000 troops over there are left?

Run now?

Just leave them alone?

"Wing King, it's a loss, it's a loss......"

"If you don't run, it's too late."

Shi Dakai, of course, was unwilling to give up his army.

In history, Shi Dakai faced a desperate situation after the Battle of the Dadu River.

The Qing generals proposed that as long as Shi Dakai was willing to surrender, he could spare his army from dying.

Then Shi Dakai died generously.

But now, it seems that there is no desperate situation.

He even wanted to ask, did Su Yu come to persuade him to surrender?

But this sentence can't be asked after all.

Finally, at dusk.

Shi Dakai and Chen Yucheng completely gave up hope and began to escape.

The remaining 60,000 troops began to retreat to the west.

And these 60,000 troops did not participate in the battle almost from beginning to end.

The retreat of the 60,000-strong army was still terrifying.

Not a rout, but a systematic retreat.

Su Yu is faced with a choice, should he pursue or not?

He still had more than 4,000 cavalry at hand, the most elite cavalry, which was never put into battle.

More than 4,000 cavalry, to chase and kill 60,000 enemies, this is very dangerous.

After only hesitating for a moment, Su Yu ordered: "Wang Shiqing, you lead four thousand cavalry to chase down the Taiping army. ”

"Remember, always be mobile."

"Only cut, not grappling!"

Wang Shiqing said: "Yes! ”

Then, he led more than 4,000 cavalry, fiercely rushed out, chasing and killing the retreating 60,000 troops of the Taiping army.

Seeing Wang Shiqing's cavalry chasing after him, Shi Dakai immediately ordered that more than 10,000 cavalry of the Taiping Army were cut off.

Moments later!

The main cavalry of the two armies, met in the wilderness.

Collide, fight!

But this time, it's lackluster.

The last time Wang Zhengyi fought such a beautiful cavalry annihilation battle, he had already lost all the courage and self-confidence of the Taiping cavalry.

In the face of such a tall horse, in the face of such a gorgeous cavalry, they will have a deep inferiority.

Just a few charges, a few fights.

The more than 10,000 cavalry of the Taiping army has already collapsed.

All over the mountains and fields, they were all the cavalry of the Taiping Army.

Wang Shiqing led the main force of cavalry and pursued again.

Always carry out Su Wei's orders, maintain high mobility, only cut, not grappling.

In this way, this powerful cavalry, again and again, cut the Taiping army's 50,000 troops into pieces.

Cut the whole team into one cut after another.

The array could no longer be maintained, and it was a complete mess.

The large forces of the Taiping army went from an orderly retreat to a complete rout.

………………………………

It's getting dark!

The battle in the northern part of Hangzhou is also coming to an end.

The remaining 30,000 or 40,000 Taiping troops had been cut into several parts and surrounded.

The remaining troops on Su Lu's side all poured out.

60,000 people, surrounded by 35,000 people.

Originally, there was still a fierce battle.

The rest of the Taiping army, even if they lost their command, even if Shi Dakai and Chen Yucheng had all run away.

But they are still fighting like flies without their heads.

But......

Suddenly, for a moment, all of Su Yu's troops ceased fire.

Then, thousands of people chanted in unison.

"Surrender and don't kill, surrender and don't kill."

The sound resounded throughout the battlefield.

Then, the remaining more than 30,000 Taiping troops, many of whom were in a daze.

The inexplicable will to fight before is gone.

One by one, they raised their guns.

Thousands of people on Su Yu's side shouted again: "Brothers of the Taiping army, you throw out your weapons, and then line up and walk out of the trenches one by one. ”

The Taiping soldiers in the trenches looked at each other and threw their rifles out.

One by one, they raised their hands and walked out of the trenches.

Looking at this scene, Ma Xinyi asked, "Enxiang, can this group of people still be soldiers?" ”

Su Yu said: "I'm afraid it's not good." ”

It's completely dark!

More than 30,000 Taiping troops surrendered.

It's just that it will take a long time to collect the weapons.

And within a radius of dozens of miles, there are still mountains and fields full of routs of the Taiping army.

Wang Shiqing led the cavalry and searched for the senior generals of the Taiping Army everywhere.

During the day, there are airships in the sky to guide you.

It's dark, and the airship can't be seen, it's all up to luck, so who can be caught is basically full-screen luck.

…………………………………………

Wing King Shi Dakai and the main force ran away.

There were only a few hundred people around him, and they were fleeing to a mountain.

There was only one thought in his mind, to run west!

Flee to Anhui and flee to the base of the Taiping Army.

Running frantically, exhausted.

I found a temple where the monks had already run away and decided to take a break because I couldn't run anymore.

Eat something and rest for half an hour.

In the dark night, eating dry food, drinking spirits, and blowing the north wind.

In the direction of Hangzhou City in the distance, the fire is still bright.

Shi Dakai suddenly felt sad in his heart, and tears welled up.

I have failed again and again before, and I have gotten up again and again, so will I still get up this time?

"Don't be discouraged by the Wing King, when we arrive in Tianjing, we can still make a comeback."

Shi Dakai didn't speak, stood quietly outside for a while, and then entered the temple.

Rest for half an hour, the time has come, and it is time to continue on the road. But more than 200 people lay on the ground and slept on the ground.

They are so tired, they have been bombed and harassed every day for the past few days, they have not slept well, and today they have been desperately trying to escape.

At this time, Emperor Lao Tzu did not want to let them get up and hurry.

With a soft sigh, Shi Dakai also found a wall and sat down, closing his eyes.

His subordinates stepped forward and took the thin quilt and gently covered his body.

It is to sleep and not to sleep, and to wake up and not to wake up.

It was just like that the dawn was in a daze.

Shi Dakai opened his eyes.

"Winged King, it's time to hurry."

A quarter of an hour later, the team of more than 200 people regained their strength a little and began to flee again.

Today is cloudy and there is no sun.

It's densely packed and full of jungle.

Soon Shi Dakai's team lost their sense of direction and began to run in the direction of Anhui with instinct.

Keep running, keep running.

It's endless forests, it's all hills.

There is no vision when you look up.

It's just desperate.

I don't know how long I ran, but it seems to be getting dark again.

It's finally time to escape from this mountain forest.

It's finally time for the pioneers.

Shi Dakai's more than 200 people were exhausted and rushed out of the dense forest directly.

Suddenly it dawned.

Where is this? Have you arrived in Anhui?

But why is there blood all over the ground?

Besides, isn't this scene a little familiar?

After a long while, Shi Dakai came over in a trance, this ...... Is this winding back?

Is this a return to the battlefield in Hangzhou?

I, how could I, Shi Dakai, make such a low-level mistake?

Did this defeat confuse my mind? Have the minds of the people around me been lost?

After running for a day and a night, he ran back again?

A moment later, several cavalry galloped in, just patrolling normally.

Seeing Shi Dakai from afar, Su Yu's cavalry team was stunned.

This...... This seems to be Shi Dakai?

You, didn't you flee to Anhui?

Immediately, the leader of the cavalry squad took out his whistle and blew it.

Shi Dakai and the others hurriedly fled desperately.

From the air, groups of cavalry arrived and began to surround them from all sides.

In the end, a few hundred cavalry formed an encirclement.

Shi Dakai led more than 100 people to the east and west.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

Su Yu's cavalry kept firing, and there were fewer and fewer people around him.

In the end, there were only a dozen people left.

Wang Zhengyi led 400 cavalry and surrounded Shi Dakai and a dozen people in the middle.

Wang Wu suppressed his excitement and pretended to be calm: "Shi Dakai, you have been captured." ”

…………………………

Note: Earlier today, the grace who has a monthly pass, continue to give it to me, okay? I want to try to keep my current position.
