Chapter 445: The Forward Battalion Plays

Wu Liuqi fell to the ground by being shot, but he was not dead. Zhou Shixiang's gun was not on his chest, but hitting under his neck. He could not stop blood and breathe. The personal soldiers hurriedly untied the armor on his body, trying to block the Admiral's wound with cloth, but they could not block it. They could only see the blood bubbles in the Admiral's mouth, blood on his neck, and thrust his body.

Shameless person!

Wu Liuqi knew that his life was not long, so he couldn't breathe. He struggled to look up at Zhou Shixiang who was holding a gun and staring at him. He really wished he could kill this thief stick, but his body was disobedient and gradually became powerless. He couldn't lift it up in one breath, and his hands on the arms of his own soldiers slowly hang down.

His eyes were still open when he died, and he really died with his eyes open. I thought that Wu Liuqi had mastered a good skill when he was young. People in the martial arts world called him a "strange beggar" and called him a "powerful general" in the army. Now he is the governor of the Qing Dynasty, the prince Shaobao, and he killed many Ming generals under the stick. He didn't know how many troublemakers he killed in Chaozhou. He dyed countless people red from his head. He really died like this when he was so proud that he was so cowardly that he could not be cowardly!

"The Admiral is dead, the Admiral is dead!"

Wu Liuqi's personal soldiers wailed, and the Chaozhou soldiers screamed as miserably as if they had lost their father and mother. However, the Taiping Army was greatly motivated by Wu Liuqi's death, and everyone was brave and rushed to kill the Qing army.

Zhou Shixiang ordered his personal guards to steal Wu Liuqi's body, but Wu Liuqi's personal soldiers carried his body and ran down the mountain, obviously not wanting the Admiral's body to fall into the hands of the Taiping Bang. The personal guards had to give up because they were inconvenient to chase after him in iron armor.

The morale of the Chaozhou soldiers was sluggish and the army had no fighting spirit. They barely blocked it for a while before retreating to the mountain. This retreat suddenly seemed to be defeated and fell, and no longer had the previous offensive. As soon as the Chaozhou soldiers retreated, the Zhending soldiers and Tongzhou soldiers in Zhili were exposed on the flanks. Zhou Shixiang led his personal guards to gather hundreds of soldiers in the first town to kill the Tongzhou soldiers from the hillside.

The general of Tongzhou was bold enough to withstand it, and he retreated to the mountain despite the fact that Zhending troops were still on the way. Jiang Fan, who was originally surrounded, immediately escaped and concentrated his troops to attack Zhending troops. During the chaos, although the general of Zhending, Yang Zhenwei, was brave, he was still old and weak. He actually asked an unknown soldier in the Taiping Army to stab his left leg with a spear. This spear made Yang Zhenwei heart-wrenching, and waved his knife to cut off the spear body, asking his subordinates to hold him.

There was the Taiping Army above, and there were also the Taiping Army on the left and right directions. The Tongzhou soldiers who were originally responding below retreated and found a big gap. The Taiping Army commander Zhou Shiying personally led people to fill the gap and surrounded the Zhending Army in an area less than a hundred feet long.

The three Qing army retreated two units, and the general led his troops to kill them. The morale of the Arctic Brigade was greatly boosted. The fleeing Green Camp soldiers now became different and were very dedicated. Deputy General Wang Guoquan was killed in battle, guerrilla Li Shizhong was killed in battle, and general Yang Zhenwei was injured again. Although there were more than a thousand people, they were in an instant and had no leader and could only fight on their own. Under the step-by-step oppression of the Taiping Army, the space for Zhending troops was getting smaller and smaller.

Knowing that the battle was defeated, Yang Zhenwei struggled to support Mr. Qian and told him with difficulty: "Take the person down quickly, don't fight anymore, retreat..." After saying this, he fainted.

Mr. Qian had the intention to retreat, but after receiving the command of the general, he would not dare to fight again. He yelled and led his troops to retreat, but the retreat was blocked by the Taiping Army. In order to survive, Zhending Army also tried his best and forced himself to kill the exit from the Taiping Army encirclement and rushed to the bottom of the mountain.

Jiang Fan was unwilling to let the Zhending soldiers run away like this, and led his troops to chase them from behind, but he bit the Zhending soldiers dozens of meters away from the foot of the mountain. One side chased them from top to bottom. The other side was only concerned about escaping, and the result was that the Taiping Army was slaughtering Zhending soldiers like cutting melons and vegetables. The chopped Zhending soldiers kept rolling down from the hillside, and the foot of the mountain was full of wounded soldiers rolling and screaming. If the two Niulu Mongolian soldiers had not arrived urgently and shot arrows on the mountain immediately to curb the Taiping Army's offensive, the Taiping Army might have taken advantage of the situation to scatter the Zhending soldiers, Chaozhou soldiers and Tongzhou soldiers were scattered.

Jiang Fan did not dare to lead his troops to fight with the Mongolian cavalry. He had to take his men back to the mountain. In this battle, half of his more than 2,200 soldiers were killed or injured, and one battalion fought only one small flag officer and a dozen soldiers, almost completely wiped out. This battle also caused the Taiping Army to re-understand the combat effectiveness of the Green Camp soldiers. These Green Camp soldiers from the north were indeed more capable of fighting than those in the south. However, Zhou Shixiang judged the combat effectiveness of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp who followed Wu Sangui into Yunnan from these Zhili soldiers.

The soldiers of Zhili camp retreated to the foot of the mountain looked at each other, wanting to cry without tears. There were only six or seven hundred soldiers left for more than 1,700 Zhending soldiers, and the Tongzhou soldiers were better, but less than a thousand. In this short period of time, the soldiers of Zhili camp were killed by 1,560, one general was injured, one deputy general, two guerrillas, and several below the Thousand Generals. The Chaozhou soldiers also suffered nearly a thousand casualties. The most deadly was that the death of the chief general Wu Liuqi had lost the Chaozhou soldiers' backbone. At this time, a group of officers surrounded the body of the admiral.

There were more than a hundred wounded soldiers who escaped, most of whom were slightly injured. Those seriously injured were either because of relatives and friends robbed them from the army, or they were officers, otherwise no one would risk their lives to lift them down. If the minor injuries were bandaged, they would probably survive as long as the wound was not inflamed. Those who were seriously injured could only leave fate. Most of the injuries were broken arms and legs, and even if they survived fortune-telling, they would be useless people.

Looking at the blood gushing in the wound, the wounded soldiers who were so painful that they could only watch it blankly, or close their eyes and sit on the ground weakly, slowly waiting for the god of death to take him away.

A 16 or 17-year-old Tongzhou soldier suddenly burst into tears, but his uncle was stabbed by the Taiping Army for him in order to save him, and asked the Taiping Army to cut off his head in front of him. The soldier was so scared that he was dragged to the bottom of the mountain by his companions. He didn't even rob his uncle's head. When he came to his senses, he naturally cried out loudly and scolded himself for being unfilial.

The young soldier's cry spread like a plague. The Chaozhou soldiers were already choking because of the death of the Admiral Wu Liuqi. After hearing the crying, they still started to howl. Yang Zhenwei, the general of Zhending Soldier, was unknown, and the death and injuries were the most serious. He also cried after the love. The Tongzhou soldiers knew that they would never cry at this time, but he could control the soldiers under his command, but he could not control the Zhending Soldier and the Chaozhou soldiers. He was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

Maybe he was really fighting hard just now, and he left his hometown and worked hard in this foreign land. No one knew when he would lose his life. The soldiers of Tongzhou also started crying, and at first they choked up and cried. The officers could still hold on to the squirting at first, but after a moment, they couldn't hold on to the pressure. Looking at the red eyes of their soldiers, the officers were panicked.

The Han army and Mongolian soldiers who were still attacking the mountain pass with all their might heard the crying from the left wing. The crying was obviously not from the Taiping Army on the mountain, so the Han army and Mongolian soldiers were both stunned and subconsciously retreated to break away from contact with the Taiping Army. As soon as they retreated, the Henan soldiers who were already a little unworking were like fishing for straw and retreated in a hurry.

There was a silence on the central army's formation, and the passionate drum beats had already stopped. It was obvious that the Qing army had admitted that the attack had failed.

Jiang Fan rectified the remnants and transported the injured and undead Taiping soldiers to the rear, collecting weapons to prepare for the Qing army to attack again. He organized a battalion of the remaining soldiers, and took the rest as his own direct troops. In order to prevent the previous defeat of the army from happening again, Jiang Fan ordered some deserters and ordered them to be executed regardless of their wail. Before his death, the two Han soldiers were told not only that their heads were cut, but their families in Guangzhou were also killed, which made the two Han soldiers regret it so much that their intestines were blushed.

Looking at the corpses all over the mountains and smelling the bloody smell from his nose, Zhou Shi looked at the movements of the Qing army opposite, wondering if Ji Du would organize an attack again. The A-British Brigade suffered more than half of the casualties. If the Qing army's next attack was even more fierce than this time, it would be difficult to ensure that the Qing army would not attack. He had no mobile force except the Iron Man Guard stuck on the official road. If Ji Du really came out in full, even if he could hold on, the first town would probably be ruined.

Looking around, I found that in addition to the excited expressions of the rest of my life, the surviving soldiers also had a look of pride on their faces. I couldn't help but feel relieved. As before, the soldiers who survived one after another would truly become members of the Taiping Army and become the backbone of the Taiping Army. Zhou Shixiang deeply agreed with Jiang Fan's behavior of implicating his family. It would be better than this, and it would be difficult for these Han troops to fight to the death.

When the Zhili camp soldiers and Chaozhou soldiers retreated, Ji Du knew that the attack had failed, but he could not give up and he had no choice, because his food route was stuck by the Taiping Army. If he did not break through Xuanwu Mountain, tens of thousands of Manchu and Mongolian troops would be out of food in ten days.

The leader Yiertu saw that the morale of the Green Camp was low, and the attack today would not work. He might as well take a rest for a day and wait for tomorrow to regroup and then attack. However, Jidu gritted his teeth and ordered the forward battalion to prepare for attack.

Yiertu couldn't help but breathe air conditioning after hearing this order. The Qing Dynasty's military use practice was in the front, the Han army followed, and Mongolian again. The Manzhou soldiers ended. Only the Green Camp, Han army, and Mongolian soldiers could not defeat them. Otherwise, the Manzhou children would be used as military supervisors to kill the deserters and would never go into battle easily. Now, the Green Camp's attack failed and the Mongolian soldiers had not even joined the army. Why did Prince Jian ask the Manzhou children to work hard? Besides, before leaving the capital, the emperor had a clear instruction to the vanguard camp not to fight. This time he went south to Guangdong just to strengthen the army's power. Isn't Prince Jian's actions violated the sage?
