Well, it’s the last three days, Ronaldo decided to break out and make a last try! Today’s six updates are now the first update, so let’s make monthly tickets more violent!

October 6, 1847, early morning.

Chenzhou, Hunan, Chengqianling.

Although Chengqianling has a word "阿", it is actually quite open terrain, with only a few low hills dotted among them. The flat land here is all farmland and large rice fields. Now it is approaching the harvest season, and at first glance they are full of yellow rice ears. However, the one who appears in this rice field today is not a farmer holding a sickle, but a 100,000 army preparing to fight!

At the time of Si, the 49,000 troops of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom arrived at the designated location. The fields in the northern half of the city's foreground were covered by warriors wrapped in red turbans. Neat square formations were carried out in the sound of trumpets and drums. The neat steps were heard, and even the ground was slightly shaken by them.

The Taiping Army's large formation was relatively long. The front of the center was the 3,000 foreign gun team commanded by veteran Zeng Tianyang. It was divided into 6 battalions, all three horizontal formations, lined up in one line, and each battalion was separated by only twenty steps. All brown basins were inserted with sharp bayonets, and the muzzles pointed to the sky, and the bayonets were shining with dazzling light.

Behind the foreign gun team and on the left and right wings are spear formations. The bamboo pole spears in Yishui are more than 1 meter long (about 3 meters). They are inserted with polished iron spear tips, which are also shining with cold light in the rising sun. These soldiers holding bamboo pole spears and the soldiers of the foreign gun team are all "old brothers" from Zijing Mountain in Guangxi. They are the elite main forces of the Taiping Army. They all believe in Master Hong. They are even more fearless when fighting.

On both sides of the foreign gun team and the spear formation are the flanks of the Taiping Army. There are twenty thousand-man square formations. Most of the soldiers of these thousand-man square formations are poor people who were taken over or come to surrender after the Taiping Army attacked Hunan. They are not as firm as the "old brothers" in Guangxi in terms of faith, so they cannot be used as the main force.

The 20,000 Taiping Army led by Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing are "a mixture of old and new". Among them, the imperial guards of the Heavenly King and the personal guards of the East King are both "old brothers" of Zijing Mountain, with a total of about 6,000 people, which is the last reserve team for this battle. The other 14,000 people are also new brothers in Hunan.

Senggelinqin's original formation was placed on a hill at the southern end of the city's front ridge. Under the banner of the Monkey King, the Mongolian prince was holding a monocular telescope. He scanned the Taiping Army's front. On the front of the mile-long line, the Taiping Army soldiers wrapped in red cloth covered the entire front. The Taiping Army in the camera was in a strict and powerful formation, and the movement was orderly, like moving spears and bayonets, and roared from time to time, "Kill the Qing demons! Go to heaven!", completely overwhelming the Qing army in terms of momentum.

"The Guangdong bandits are so elite!"

Senggelinqin has led troops for many years. At a glance, he knew that the Taiping Army was not a mob. He underestimated the enemy too much before! But what if he did not underestimate the enemy? The Qing army he commanded was sandwiched between the Taiping Army and the Ming Army. Could it be that he still formed a camp to defend the enemy to wait for the Taiping Army and the Ming Army to join forces to attack?

Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart. Senggelinqin glanced at Fu Fang next to him. Most of the Eight Banners' children were soldiers, but not many people could really be soldiers. Fu Fang was both literary and military, and he performed well in the battle formation. He was a seed of a famous general. The Qing Dynasty might have to be defended by him in the future.

"Chunhong, you have also fought with the Ni Ming army. Look at how the Guangdong bandits' military formation is compared with Ni Ming?"

After Senggelinqin said that, she handed the telescope to Fu Fang. Fu Fang bowed to Senggelinqin, and then stood on the saddle to observe the enemy situation. Seeing this skill, Senggelinqin couldn't help but nodded. Fu Fang not only understood Western tactics, but also did not lose his ability to his ancestors.

After watching for a while, Fu Fang sat back on his saddle and said to Senggelinqin, "Prince, the military formation of the Guangdong bandits is not as strict as that of Ming Ni, but not worse than our Green Camp soldiers. Moreover, they don't have many foreign guns and cannons. Bei Yi only saw a team of foreign guns of about 3,000 people. The rest were swords and spears, and there were no bows and arrows, and there were not many large shields to defend bows and arrows. According to Bei Yi, these Guangdong bandits are not difficult to fight. As long as they use bird guns, lift guns, earth cannons and bows and arrows to shoot far, disturb their military formation, and then attack with a cavalry, the bandits can break."

Senggelinqin nodded slightly. What Fu Fang said was similar to what he thought. The Guangdong bandits had a lot of hand-to-hand combat soldiers, while the long-range shooting soldiers were only 3,000 foreign gun teams, and there were almost no horse teams. And his own side had more than half of the birds, archers, archers and horse teams. Of course, we must make full use of this advantage.

Thinking of this, Senggelinqin shouted: "Tell Xianglin, tell the Hunan soldiers to explore the Guangdong bandits first!"

...

"God bless us! Go forward! Kill the demons! Go to heaven..."

Zeng Tianyang, a veteran general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, drew out his sword and pointed it forward suddenly. 3,000 foreign spearmen wrapped in red cloth also roared in unison.

"Kill the Qing Demon! Go to heaven!"

The 3,000 Taiping Army carrying foreign guns stepped forward in amid the fanatical slogans and headed straight towards the Qing army opposite. Although there were only 3,000 people, they had a wide front that was more than 2 miles long because they were lined up in three thin rows.

The center of the Qing army was placed in the center of the Qing army. The morale was extremely low and weak because of the battle at Furong Mountain, and it should not be used to take the lead. However, because the battlefield was in Hunan this time, the Hunan soldiers were the main soldiers, and the remaining troops from other provinces were considered the foreign army. The rules of the Qing army never allowed the foreign army to take the lead unless the foreign army took the initiative to ask for the battle. Senggelinqin and Sai Shanga hinted that they led the most troops to the Hubei censor Chang Dachun several times, but the master who made up his mind to resign was not spoken - he didn't plan to become an official, so why should he be this evil person again? So Senggelinqin had to let the depressed Hunan soldiers take the lead, and let Chang Dachun line up with 20,000 Hubei soldiers close to the Hunan soldiers so that they could reinforce in time.

"Xiangjun Gate, the Guangdong bandits attacked first, why don't we take the defensive position?"

There were more than a dozen deputy generals and generals from the Hunan Green Camp gathered around Xianglin. They came to wait for Xianglin to arrange the attack. Now that they saw the Taiping Army fighting first, they all proposed to give up the offense and take the defensive.

"It's good, but I'm sorry to say that in front of me, who will have a wrong head in the battle today, I'm going to have a ruthless face!"

After frightening, Xianglin waved a hand and asked a number of deputy generals and the generals to go down to supervise the army. These generals of the Hunan Green Camp in Hunan must be in trouble. Xianglin did not think that the Hunan soldiers with low morale could resist the offensive of the Guangdong bandits, but they could use them to consume the strength of the Guangdong bandits to create opportunities for the green camps in Hubei and Jiangxi. Of course, the final decision was to launch the first attack by the Eight Banners soldiers.

Boom...

A few roars of artillery interrupted Xianglin's thoughts. The Taiping Army had no artillery now. This was the cannons of the Hunan Green Camp fired. Several solid bullets flew out, one of which hit the front of the Taiping Army's foreign gun team and swept down several soldiers. However, the Taiping Army still moved forward steadily, as if nothing had happened. Then more than a dozen cannons sounded, and more iron bullets swept across the Taiping Army's front. Xianglin even saw the scene of flesh and blood flying across the body. How could the power of this shell be withstood by flesh and blood?

But the problem is that the Taiping Army still shouted the slogan "Kill the Qing Demons and go to heaven" and approached in one step!

"This is the case with these Han people!" Xianglin frowned. He seemed to notice that the Taiping Army opposite was different from the other Han people he saw, and even was very different from the Ming Army he saw in Guangdong - they didn't seem to know what fear was!

The crackling sound of gunfire started, not the Taiping Army was firing, but the bird gun from the Hunan Green Camp, and the gun was fired.

"This distance..." Xianglin gritted his teeth and did not scold him. It was expected that if the Green Camp soldiers dared to put their opponents closer and fired, the Qing army would not have been driven out of Guangdong by Ming Ni! Although the distance was far, someone was still shot and fell down on the Taiping Army's front. This was not the credit of the bird gun, but the gun was lifted to show off. This large musket had much more charge than ordinary bird guns and had a long range, which could pose a certain threat to long-distance opponents.

However, the Taiping Army's foreign gun team still ignored the Qing army's shooting, shouting slogans while stepping forward, and the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
