After the sound of the guns, hundreds of Taiping troops rushed out on both sides of the road, but only more than a hundred people held guns, while the rest were holding swords and spears.
Shao Chengguo, the cavalry camp, led more than 100 cavalrymen, also ran out of the forest, lined up on the left side of the infantry, with three cavalry and one row.
"Mr. Shenling, the Taiping gang has really set up an ambush!"
Seeing that there were really Taiping gangs setting up an ambush here, Suna was shocked and breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder she always felt something was wrong before. It turned out that the Taiping Army had really set up an ambush in front. After closer inspection, there were only about six or seven hundred Taiping Army setting up an ambush, and the troops were fully equipped, including gun soldiers, sword soldiers, spear soldiers, and hundreds of cavalrymen.
The Taiping Army is just an ambush?
Suna was a little strange.
Gangtaa ran back from the front, shook his head at Tayinbu, and said, "No guards came back."
"Go back and ask the flag to increase the pension of their women and children."
Ta Yinbu waved his hand with a calm face and asked Gangtaa to rectify his flag soldiers to prepare for the battle.
After the Taiping Army appeared, they slowly pressed towards the Qing army more than a mile away. Their speed was neither fast nor slow, and the cavalry had no intention of attacking the Qing army at all. They just slowly controlled the speed of the horse and advanced forward.
The three Niulu Han troops heard from the people who were defeated from Xinhui in the same flag and talked about the power of the Taiping Army. In addition, they also knew that the Niulu cavalry of Tong Erhan in the Inlaid Blue Banner was completely wiped out by the Taiping Army. Therefore, although Manzhou soldiers were overthrowing the formation, there were still some riots in the Han army.
"If you pass the order, those who dare to make noise will be killed!"
Seeing the riots of the Han army in front, Tayinbu ordered his personal soldiers to pass the strict order. Under the suppression of the Han army officers, the Han army calmed down and raised their own muskets, opened the fire slash to prepare to fight against the Taiping Army.
After suffering the great loss of the Taiping Army in National Day, I was afraid that there would be more than these Taiping Army who set up an ambush. I immediately stood up and looked around and then. After confirming that the Taiping Army who set up an ambush was the hundreds of people on the opposite side, I suddenly felt afraid. The desire to make contributions was hot, and my brows were raised with joy, and I secretly thought that it was a blessing for the Second Highness to bring this job for him. Otherwise, where would the credit be made? When my family made a contribution, the Second Highness would definitely have a heavy reward. The prince would not treat him badly. This assistant leader might be able to become a collaborator.
Well, after going back, I have to give my sister a good advice. Let her serve the second prince very well. A woman is just a man who can poke her. Only when the second prince is happy can he like her brother-in-law, and then he will think about his own family if he has good things in the future.
Xiang Guoqing was so excited about the Taiping Army, but Du Shude did not have as many dirty thoughts as he did. He kept asking his subordinates to gather a good team and cheer up his subordinates, and then cut off all the Taiping Army one by one. With the cowardly she had been exposed for more than half a year, he restored the majesty of the Prince of Pingnan.
Xiang Guoqing's sister just served Shang Zhi's filial piety room and didn't even have a name. He dared to regard himself as the brother-in-law of the Second Prince. Wang Shude there was the brother-in-law of the Jingnan King. His sister was the concubine of the King of Jingnan, and was also the favorite concubine of the King of Jingnan. The so-called love for the house and the nun, and naturally he was particularly eye-catching with his younger brother.
This time, with Tayinbu, it was not the turn of Wang Shude to lead the army. There were many generals in Jingnan's vassal, and no matter how good it was, Wang Shude, a newcomer who had been a subordinate for less than two years, was not the turn of Wang Shude to be the new leader who had been a subordinate for less than two years. But who made King Jingnan like this brother-in-law? He knew that this time, the Manzhou soldiers had 2 Niulu, and Shang Kexi also had 2 Niulu, and Han army. It was not to fight the fierce battles like Xinhui, but to detour the Taiping Army behind blocking the other side's retreat. There was basically no danger. As long as you arrive at the Rolling Stone Slope on time, you will get this great achievement. If you don't give such easy military achievements, who else can King Jingnan give to his brother-in-law?
However, although Wang Shude flattered the Manzhou people, he was not an incompetent person. Judging from the performance of his flag soldiers lined up, he was not inferior to that of Xiang Guoqing and Du Shutai.
Wang Shude had no idea of fearing the Taiping Army. He was in a sensible deployment and assignment, and he kept using whips to whip the two slow flag soldiers, shouting a few times, and calling Tayinbu from afar and even more admired him.
Seeing that the Taiping Army was about to come, Tayinbu had not ordered an attack, so he rode his horse over and asked, "Sir, how to fight this battle?"
Ta Yinbu raised his whip and said to him: "The Taiping Counterattacks are not very powerful. I think they are not the main force of the thief scholars. After they leaned forward to catch up with the Han army, you and Gangtaa will take people to attack them." After that, he added, "This road is too narrow, please let Gangtaa go first, so as not to block the road."
"I will understand!"
Although Suna had shown unbearable signs of fleeing without fighting, she was not really afraid of the Taiping Army, nor was she a fool. This official road was indeed narrow. More than a thousand Qing troops were two or three miles long, and there were Han infantry soldiers in front of her. If she fought with Gangtaa and rushed forward at the same time, she would definitely not be able to pass. If one was not careful, she would disrupt the Han army. It would be best for two people to go forward one in front and one in the back.
However, the Taiping Counterattacks were just a few people, and the Han army was worthy of firearms. I am afraid that there was no need for their own Manzhou soldiers to go to the Taiping Counterattacks, and the Taiping Counterattacks could be destroyed by the Han army.
The situation is basically clear at the moment. The Taiping Army is really just these hundreds of ambushers, so Suna was worried, so he went back to fight and started preparing for the battle.
"After I go and kill those Taiping bandits later, don't ask Suna's people to take the lead."
"Don't worry, Lord Zuo Ling. Suna himself is a coward. He was so scared that the Nanman ran away without fighting. Who among the various banners knows about this? One soldier is a nest of generals. Lord, wait and see. The third guy Zuo Ling must be very timid."
"They have no eggs. Our first assistant leader!"
Gangta'a was furious in fighting. With his order, his men of Manchu soldiers skillfully controlled the horses to form a formation, took the arrows and pulled the swords, and took out a bean and stuffed it into the mouth of the war horse so that the war horse could maintain enough physical strength.
This Taiping Counterattack leader is not stupid. He knows to set up ambush using the terrain, but unfortunately we discovered it. Humph. A few hundred people dare to have the courage to attack the brigade led by our gang. It is really a leopard courage!
Tayinbu, a Taiping Army with hundreds of people, didn't take Tayinbu seriously at all, even if there were no Han troops from Niulu, he was 100% sure to annihilate them in one fell swoop. He believed that the Manzhou Erlang, who was under his command, was because the Eight Banners were the most elite soldiers in the world. The Han people could not fight. If they really wanted to fight hard, the Ming Dynasty would not be driven out of Liaodong, and would not have fallen to such a small territory left in the southwest provinces. The only trouble that Tayinbu felt was that this official road was not spacious, restricting the activities of the Manzhou soldiers and making the cavalry's maneuver advantage unable to be fully utilized. Otherwise, the Manzhou soldiers would be able to rush over now, and the Taiping gangs would have to be completed without a single incense stick.
"Blow the trumpet. Han army attack!"
After observing the deployment of the Taiping Army on the opposite side, Tayinbu ordered the Han army to attack and defeat the thieves with firearms. Then Ganta and Suna took Manzhouerlang to drive the sheep. It would be best to drive them all into the Lutou River to feed the fish.
Tayinbu's personal soldiers blew the trumpet of attack. After hearing the trumpet, Du Lutai was excited. His flag soldiers were at the forefront of the team, so he was naturally the one who took the lead.
"Everyone will be rewarded when fighting the cross-ping enemy!"
"Brothers, come with me!"
Under Du Shutai's command, more than 300 Han army flag soldiers holding muskets faced the Taiping Army in front. Xiang Guoqing and Wang Shude's flags and horses were forward dozens of feet to support him.
"Speed the gun!"
When both sides were 100 steps away, Du Shude couldn't wait to order the gun to fire. After the Han flag soldiers fired, the Taiping Army on the opposite side did not fire the gun.
The distance was too far, and in the white smoke, the Taiping Army had only more than forty infantry soldiers who were shot, and more than ten people fell down on the cavalry camp on the left side of the road. The Taiping Army, which did not get shot, did not stop, but continued to move forward with the sound of the suona.
"Recharge, hurry!"
Only fifty or sixty Taiping gangs were killed in one round of volleys, and the other party did not stop moving forward due to the casualties of these people. This made Du Shutai very angry. He was very dissatisfied with the flag soldiers under his command, and shouted loudly to ask the flag soldiers to load the medicine quickly. However, before the flag soldiers had loaded the medicine, the Taiping army, which had advanced to ninety steps on the opposite side, fired the gun.
The Taiping Army had only more than 60 gun soldiers. They did not take turns shooting in Lutou River as before, and they also fired the muskets in their hands together. There were more than a dozen three-eyed guns in their hands in their hands.
This time, the Han army flag soldiers were shot to more than fifty.
Du Shude thought that the Taiping Army would also need to charge medicine after the gun was shot, but he did not expect that the Taiping Army's gunmen would suddenly run to both sides after the gun was shot. Then the Taiping Army with swords and spears followed behind them and rushed forward. Dozens of cavalry on the left also began to accelerate towards the Qing army.
"Brothers, follow me to kill the Qing Demon!"
Shao Chengguo took the lead and rushed towards the Qing army with a sword.
As the cavalry camp charged, hundreds of soldiers from the left camp of the infantry also roared and rushed forward.
"Det the gun, fire the gun, hurry!"
Du Ruide shouted in a hurry, "The distance between the two armies is too close and the road is too narrow. If the Taiping Army rushes up, the consequences will be unimaginable."
After the Han flag gun soldiers were loaded with medicine, a sound of guns rang out. The Taiping Army rushing in front fell down dozens of people and more than a dozen cavalrymen fell down, but the remaining people rushed into the Qing army.
At the beginning of the melee, the musket without medicine was like a fire stick. Faced with the impact of the Taiping Army and the cavalry with swords and spears, Du Rude's flag soldiers could not stop them at all, and instantly they were killed or injured, and the rest of them kept retreating.
Xiang Guoqing and Wang Shude found that Du Shude's flag soldiers in front were swept away by the Taiping Army and ran backwards, and hurriedly ordered the preparations to fire the chasing Taiping Army.
However, the Taiping Army did not rush over, but stopped chasing hundreds of Qing troops after killing them, and turned around and ran backwards.
"The Taiping gang withdrew, the Taiping gang withdrew!"
Xiang Guoqing and Wang Shude's flag soldiers discovered that the Taiping Army was retreating, and cheers immediately broke out.
"How did Taiping Kou retreat?"
Du Lude didn't understand what was going on at first, but when he found out that the Taiping Army had really retreated, he didn't realize why they ran away.
He shouted to Guoqing: "Du Zuoling, there are few people from Taiping Kou. They can't eat us. They know that our firearms are powerful, and there are Manzhou soldiers who run away behind them!"
After calling Guoqing, Du Shude immediately understood that the Taiping Army had a small number of people, and he had killed hundreds of people just now. Although he also disrupted the flag soldiers under his command, the number of people was too small. This official road was not good for the Qing army and the Taiping Army. Faced with the two Niulu gun soldiers gathered in the rear and the Manzhou cavalry that had not yet taken action on the two Niulu, the Taiping Army generals would rush in without any effort. He stopped when he saw the opportunity!
"He, mom, run faster, brothers chase me!"
Du Ruide cursed, looking down on the soldiers leading the Taiping Army from the heart, and shouting with his sword to shout his running subordinates who were running quickly to chase and kill the Taiping Army.
"All those who want to make contributions follow me!"
Xiang Guoqing and Wang Shude also ordered his subordinates to chase him forward. If the Taiping Army continued to fight here, they would still have to be cautious, but the other party is turning back now, so there is no need to be a dish anymore. It is really a matter of trying to make contributions as soon as possible. If you don’t beat the dog in the water, why are you waiting for?
"Sir Zuo Ling, why do you think that something is wrong with Taiping Kou? Should we wait?"
A more mature officer under Wang Shude saw that the Taiping Army came suddenly and went quickly. Although there were many casualties, there were still hundreds of people, and they beat the people with the blue flag backwards. There was no reason not to take advantage of the victory to pursue the enemy and instead turned around and ran away. He felt that the Taiping Army was playing tricks, so he wanted to dissuade Wang Shude from sending troops to pursue him.
When Wang Shude heard this, he was right. The Taiping Army made this happen so strange. He was about to send an order and then, but he saw that the people who were looking for the National Day had already chasing the Taiping Army. In order to run faster, the Taiping Army also threw away a lot of weapons. Some of them ran to the Lutou River, and some of them ran directly into the forests on both sides. It seemed that the people running wildly did not seem to be fake.
"No matter whether it is right or not, if you don't chase me, you will be asked to eat all the meat from the Pingnan Fan family. We can't even drink the soup!"
Wang Shude didn't want this great success in the battle to get to Guoqing and others, but he couldn't get anything. Seeing that Tayinbu behind him did not stop the Han army from chasing, he immediately went to chase the Taiping Army despite the dissuasion of his subordinates.
As soon as the Han army flag was chased, a lively scene of chasing each other immediately formed on the official road. Thousands of Han soldiers chased hundreds of Taiping troops, either running towards the Lutou River or running towards the forests on both sides.
"Mr. Shenling, the Taiping Bandits are in chaos, and the Han army has all taken over. Let our Manzhou men join us! The men have been waiting for so long, and they have been itchy!"
When Gangta A saw that the Han army was going to hunt down the Taiping army, but Tayinbu did not order the Manzhou soldiers to be dispatched, he couldn't help but feel anxious. It was too late, and the Taiping gangs were all killed by the Han army.
