Chapter 446 I'm going to be blind
"The general has an order, and the vanguard battalion will come out! The general has an order, and the vanguard battalion will come out!"
After hearing the order to send troops, more than 1,100 vanguard soldiers from the vanguard camp under the Manzhou Inlaid Yellow Banner, they were commanded by the commander Ji Dali to run out of the central army formation.
Du Eryou was worried and rushed to the front of the vanguard camp. He said to Ji Dali, who was wearing armor: "I hope the magistrate of the Qing vanguard camp can show the power of our Qing vanguard camp and defeat the Taiping bandit in one fell swoop!" After a pause, he lowered his voice and said: "The army's food and grass are only enough for ten days. The prince is eager to regain the food route. The green camp has suffered too much loss. The morale of the army is unavailable at this time, and he can't trust those Mongolian soldiers. He wants our children in Manzhou to join. If the magistrate cannot defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, we may be in danger in this battle."
"Don't worry, Mr. Beile!"
Ji Dali returned the favor, tightened his armor with the help of Goshha, then slapped his heart-protecting mirror on his chest and said confidently: "My vanguard can kill the enemy on the horse, and dismount can rush to the battlefield. The emperor has raised his troops for a thousand days. Now is the time for my vanguard to try his skills. Please tell Prince Jane that I, Ji Dali, will guarantee that this battle will be advanced but not retreated, and I will definitely win! If I lose, I, Ji Dali, don't need Prince Jane to take action, and I, will wipe my neck by myself!"
Du Eryou naturally stopped talking after hearing Ji Dali's words, and immediately said in a calm voice: "Okay, then I'll wait for the good news of the Dutong!"
Ji Dali nodded heavily, rushed to the front of the forward camp, and shouted to the forward vests who had been put on armor: "My sons, you dare to follow the commander to rush forward!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
More than one thousand,100 vanguards and vest soldiers yelled heroically at the iron armor on their chests.
"Go and kill all the southern barbarians!"
Ji Dali took a breath, raised his hand and waved his hand. The forward vests immediately divided into two teams and rushed towards Xuanwu Mountain Pass. The horse's hooves tread the ground and trembled.
On the other hand, three Niulu Mongolian cavalry rushed out of the formation and followed the vanguard camp toward the mountain pass. This time, Jidu wanted to smash his fist directly on the Taiping Army's defense line at the mountain pass, and fought for the major casualties of the children of Manzhou to tear the Taiping Army's defense line and seize Xuanwu Mountain in one fell swoop.
The 1,100 vanguards had iron armor in their vests, each with a bronze mirror of heart protection, holding a knife in their hands, and carrying a bow on their backs. Their faces were full of vicious expressions. They showed arrogance and arrogance in their eyes. They looked at the retreating Green Camp and Han Army with great disdain. They also made the defeated soldiers feel ashamed, and they all thought that it was the Eight Banners forbidden brigade, and they were very powerful. If they were against them, they would be afraid that they would collapse without a single round.
Looking at the forward camp that was charging forward, Ji Du's heart was in his throat and stood on his horse restless. The mount beneath him seemed to feel the owner's uneasy. He kept thrusting his hooves and making low sounds.
With the innate pride of the vanguard camp, the vests gritted their teeth. Although the armor on their bodies was heavy, it was the best proof of the strength of a warrior. As the appearance of the Taiping soldiers on the opposite side was clearly visible, they began to shout loudly, and finally formed a roar of howling: "Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"
Amid the shocking shouts, Ji Dali waved his long sword forward, and the vests behind him rushed towards the mountain pass like a tide.
"preparation!"
Seeing the Taurus cavalry rushing towards the opposite side, the Taiping Army gunmen on the front line instinctively raised the muskets in their hands. In the previous battle with the Green Camp and the Han Army, Brigade Brexit severely damaged the Green Camp and the Han Army with minimal casualties. In addition, the Battle of Shenwan fought the Tartar cavalry, so the upper and lower parts were not afraid of the Manzhou cavalry. With the order of the officers, the gunmen lay on the mud wall, held the fire snatch in his right hand, and stared at the whistling cavalry.
"put!"
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of vanes of the vanity battalion had rushed over a hundred steps. With the officer's order, the flag bearer suddenly raised. The gunmen who had been waiting for the order to open the fire immediately lit the rope. The thick smoke from the mountain pass rose, and amid the dense sound of the guns, sharp flames shot out from the muskets and shot deadly guns at the vest soldiers of the vanity battalion.
During this round of shooting, at least thirty or forty soldiers who rushed to the front fell from the horse. The heavy armor on their bodies could not stop the Taiping Army's guns, and the iron armor on many people was hit with dense and uneven iron pits. However, the vests of the forward camp were indeed extremely brave, and the bloody appearance of the companions in front could not shake their fighting spirit at all. Under the order of Zuoleng, they kept stepping on their companions' corpses and rushed towards the opposite position.
Xuanwu Mountain Pass is a narrow fan-shaped mountain pass with a wide outer mouth, and the smaller it goes in. Jidu ordered the cavalry to directly attack the Taiping Army at the foot of the mountain, but rushed over the firepower of the Taiping Army at the speed of the cavalry, and then rushed straight forward. Although this terrain is of course conducive to the defense of the Taiping Army, the Qing army really wanted to be willing to suffer casualties. After rushing in, the Taiping Army had no room for maneuver and could only allow the Qing cavalry to drive away the massacre. If the infantry army was sent to rush forward, this effect could not be achieved. Even if the Taiping Army in front was beaten back, the Taiping Army in the rear could still organize a line of defense.
The Qing army fought for this speed, even if they fought for the major casualties of the children of Manzhou, the vanguard camp, they had to seize this speed.
One round, two rounds, three rounds, and as the Qing army entered a distance of fifty steps, Taiping had already fired three rounds of volleys. The results that could be observed with the naked eye alone were about 200 iron-armored soldiers who were shot and dropped.
After two or three hundred casualties, the vests of the vanguard battalion finally rushed to within fifty steps. They took out a large bow and sharp arrow from behind at a speed that ordinary people could not imagine. Unfortunately, many vests fell under the roar of the musket before they were ready to set up their poses. However, many vests were still slacking off the bow and arrows, and suddenly, a rain of arrows shot towards the Taiping Army position opposite. Dozens of gunmen could not dodge the arrows and fell backwards screamed. Dozens of other gunmen were shot into their bodies, either on their shoulders or on their backs. Although they did not hit the vital points, they could no longer fire muskets. As the vanguard's vest soldiers continued to approach, the Taiping Army on the front line began to suffer large-scale casualties.
"Open fire! Kill these dogs and the Tartars raised by my mother!"
Guan Tianshui of the voyage school roared loudly, and with his roar, the muskets kept ringing one after another. This intensive shooting method made the charging forward battalion complain, and also made Ji Dali very angry: Why did these Taiping Army that should be killed fight so urgently!
The first horse of the gods guards jumped over the trench that had been filled with most of the corpses. When he jumped over the mud wall, he waved his knife and cut off the two Taiping troops. The gods guards rushed around the Taiping gun team, chasing the Taiping army into chaos. As the gods guards opened the gap, more and more vanity soldiers rushed in.
"Roar up, rush up!"
Ji Dali was overjoyed by the successful breakthrough of the Gods and shouted loudly. The vest soldiers also saw the successful breakthrough ahead, as if victory was in sight, and they all roared and rushed towards the trench.
On the way to charge, one after another of the vests fell down. However, in the eyes of these stubborn vanguard soldiers, the death of their companions will only stimulate their bloodiness even more.
Kill! Kill all these Taiping bandits! Kill, for the Qing Dynasty, for the emperor, and for the unbeaten record of the vanguard camp! Fight!
After nearly 400 people were killed or injured, the horses of the vanguard camp finally broke through the Taiping Army defense line in the outer circle of the mountain pass. At that moment, the Qing army's formation was in full swing. The retreating Zhili Green Camp, Henan Green Camp, and Chaozhou Green Camp were organized again to attack the Taiping Army under the pressure of the Mongolian soldiers.
"It's indeed the forward camp! This king decided to be Ji Dali and ask the emperor to confer the Batulu warriors!"
The reversal of the battle situation made Ji Du breathe a sigh of relief and felt relieved by his decision. If he sent Mongolian soldiers to fight, this would probably not be effective. After all, in terms of courage, the children of Manzhou are more trustworthy.
Because of excitement, Jidu's voice trembled a little. Du Eryou, who was standing beside him, also smiled from ear to ear and flattered him at the right time: "If you win this battle, it is certainly due to the courage of the forward soldiers, but it is all due to the prince's command!"
Jidu laughed and ordered Keke to take people to urge the slow Green Camp soldiers. The mountain pass had already broken through. It was the time when these green camp soldiers were required to provide their efforts. Even if they were unable to use it, they could hold the Taiping Army on the mountains on both sides of the mountain pass, making it impossible for them to rescue the Taiping Army on the official road of the mountain pass.
Guan Tianshui did not expect that the defense line would actually ask the Qing cavalry to break through, nor did he expect that the Qing army would be so desperate. The entire mountain pass was already in chaos. The front of the Jiazi battalion was completely dispersed by the Qing army, and it was impossible to stop the Qing soldiers from continuing to go deeper. Guan Tianshui knew that the defense line outside the mouth was over, so he had to retreat the troops before the Qing army rushed into the inner mouth.
After the Shenbao led his troops to break through the Taiping Army's defense line, he slashed and slashed, forcing the Taiping Army gunman in front of him to retreat. Seeing that the follow-up personnel had followed, the Taiping Army had retreated, and he couldn't help but shout and lifted his knife and followed him.
The gods guaranteed the killing of Xing Zhengnong, trying to take advantage of the momentum to drive away the retreating Taiping Army to attack the defense line behind them. In this way, the general situation will be determined. The defeated troops attack the enemy's formation is a method of suppressing the bottom of the wing that has been passed down from Manzhou for decades, and it is just for use today.
After driving the horse to drive away the defeated soldiers for dozens of steps, the Gods Guards found that the defeated soldiers of the Taiping Army no longer continued to retreat along the official road, but climbed up the mountain from both sides of the official road. Some Taiping Army who had already climbed up were squatting on the slope to load gunpowder and fired guns at the Qing army.
The Southern Barbarians were so cunning that the gods were so angry that they gritted their teeth, but they had no choice but to take the Taiping Army running up the hillside, so they could only continue to rush forward. As long as the Taiping Army on this official road could be dispersed, as long as the Qing army could rush across Xuanwu Mountain, this battle would be considered a victory. The Taiping Army who fled to the mountain had its own Green Camp and Han Army to deal with them.
