On the second day, Tokugawa Qingsheng straddled the high-headed horse and took Qiao Shan Xingba to the dock.Qiao Shanxing's red phoenix crown and xia veil were cut by Pan Qiaoyu herself, and with Qiao Shanxing's concave and convex delicate body, it was amazingly beautiful.After the people of Nanjing City learned that Qiao Zhiqing's sister was going to get married, they all spontaneously sent farewell along the way.Along the way, dragon and lion dances, gongs and drums were beaten, and the scene was very lively.Qiao Shanxing's identity was put aside in the past, and she was the princess of this new court.In the eyes of the people, Qiao Zhiqing is another Hong Xiuquan.It's just that instead of calling the emperor, it was changed to president.The Nanjing government also sent a large number of police officers to maintain order on the streets, firmly blocking curious people on both sides of the official road.Most of the common people received Qiao Zhiqing's favor, and they all regarded him as a generation of Ming monarchs who were gifted by God, and they just took this opportunity to repay their monarchs.Even if I didn't see the "princess" side, I was dancing happily and cheering loudly.Qiao Zhiqing really didn't see him off, Qiao Shanxing got off the sedan chair at the dock with a smile.After looking for a long time, Qiao Zhiqing was nowhere to be seen, and finally got on the boat in disappointment.The accompanying soldiers and maids carried fifty boxes of dowry, but they were all sealed on them, and after they were properly placed on the ship, they were specially guarded by the soldiers, and no one was allowed to approach."
The lonely sail is far away and the blue sky is endless, and only the Yangtze River skyline can be seen."
After the fleet sailed, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.Only a handsome boy stood on the bank of the river and spat out sadly.Watching the sails gradually disappear on the river, he took his subordinates and straddled his horses and left.Wei Ziyou of the Nanjing Presidential Mansion had just finished sorting out the information sent back from various places, so he couldn't wait to go to Qiao Zhiqing's courtyard and handed him a military report."
President, the New First Army has sent back a message."
Wei Ziyou reported a little excitedly, but Qiao Zhiqing specifically told her to pay attention to the news of the new First Army."
Don't call me president in the future, just follow your sister Yan and call me Brother Qiao."
Qiao Zhiqing chuckled at Wei Ziyou and took the military report from her hand."
Yes, Big Brother Joe."
Wei Ziyou was stunned in surprise, and then laughed happily.There are also two small dimples on her pretty face, and there is a bit of sweetness in her shyness."
Okay, you go down and get busy, I'll call you again if you have something."
Qiao Zhiqing lightly instructed Wei Ziyou, opened the military newspaper and pointed to draw on the map.Wei Ziyou looked at Qiao Zhiqing's focused appearance, and couldn't help but be confused, and then his face turned red for some reason, and he quickly turned around and slipped out of the house.The New First Army had now been besieged by the Huai army for four days, and the rations carried by the soldiers were almost exhausted, and some sentinels had already dug up wild vegetables in the mountains.The military report in Qiao Zhiqing's hand was sent yesterday, and the Huai Army had already launched a fierce attack on the New First Army yesterday.Pan Dingxin spent three days asking the soldiers to collect tens of thousands of door panels and sacks, and finally launched an attack on the Huaxing army.The citizens of Hangzhou bore the brunt of the attack, and the door panels of each house were difficult to survive, and all of them were requisitioned by the Huai army.The people mourned, but they all dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.was first looted by Zuo Zongtang's Zhejiang army, and then Li Hongzhang's Huai army came, and was looted up and down again.Some people were robbed of their winter rations, and finally starved to death on the streets.Now, even the door panels have been removed, and every house has a wide open door.Facing the cold wind all day, I couldn't cover things with quilts indiscriminately.The number of thefts and rapes in the city has increased dramatically, and the common people have reached the point where they can no longer bear it.After the offensive on the Anxi battlefield began, Pan Dingxin asked the three armies to replace them with broadswords and spears, and did not fight with the Huaxing army.coincided with the heavy rain, and the morale of the Huai army was greatly boosted, thinking that the firearms of the Huaxing army would immediately become burning sticks.At the forefront of the Huai army was a row of wheelbarrows, equipped with all wheelbarrows, which were piled up with sacks filled with mud and sand.Behind the wheelbarrow were soldiers holding door panels, slamming side by side, like a wall pushing forward.After hitting a range of 200 meters from the Huaxing Army, the Huaxing Army on the hill finally opened fire."
Bang, bang, bang" There was a lot of gunfire on the front within a radius of nearly ten miles, but it looked very dull in the heavy rain.Zhang Zongyu looked at Huaijun's strange behavior with a telescope, and couldn't help but feel happy.The expeditionary rifle currently equipped by the Huaxing Army can penetrate a palm-thick pine board within a range of 100 meters, not to mention the ordinary door panel used by ordinary people.However, the battle at the bottom of the mountain was not optimistic at all, because of the heavy rain.After the door panel on Huaijun's hand was wet, there was another layer of protection.Within a radius of 200 meters, only a few people were pierced by bullets because their bodies were exposed.The wheelbarrow at the front played a lot of roles, and the mud bags on the car kept being hit by bullets, but almost nothing helped.Luo Sanyuan, the commander of the left division, hurriedly rushed to the command post at this time, and his face was full of anxiety when he saw Zhang Zongyu."
Commander, it's not a way to fight like this, even if we run out of bullets, we won't be able to hurt a few people."
Luo Sanyuan took off his hat and wiped the rain on his face indiscriminately."
You calm down, because the Huai army is too far away, the bullet can't penetrate the door panel.When they hit within a hundred meters, they knew the power of the expeditionary rifle. ”Zhang Zongyu looked at his panicked appearance, scolded with an elongated face, and handed the telescope in his hand to Luo Sanyuan.In the command post of the Huai Army under the mountain, Pan Dingxin looked at his masterpiece with a telescope full of pride."
Brother Pan, your trick is really powerful.The foreign guns of the Qing Zi Army are nothing more than that, no different from bows and arrows. ”Zhang Yuchun praised a few words on the side with a telescope, and his eyes were extremely contemptuous of Hua Xingjun."
Brother Zhang, you don't know yet.Qiao Zhiqing had already ascended the throne in Nanjing City, and the Qing Zi Army was also changed to the Huaxing Army by him. ”Pan Dingxin didn't know much about Qiao Zhiqing's political system, only knew that Qiao Zhiqing had established the imperial court.In his heart, Qiao Zhiqing has already sat on the throne."
It doesn't matter if he is the Qingzi Army or the Huaxing Army, he is not the opponent of our Huai Army."
Zhang Yuchun laughed arrogantly, and Zhang Shusheng beside him frowned and was silent."
Two brothers, now you can send archers to attack.As long as you rush within a hundred meters, the bow and arrow are much better than foreign guns. ”Pan Dingxin reminded him, and after speaking, he let the archers in his Dingzi army rush forward.The Dingzi Army was still responsible for the breakthrough of the middle line this time, and the Shuzi Army and Chunzijun continued to besiege the two wings.At this time, the Huai army was already a hundred meters away from the Huaxing army, because the road was slippery because of the rain, so the wheelbarrow was also moving unusually slowly.The battalion posts of the Huaxing Army also found out their experience at this time, and no longer shot at the empty room on the sack.Instead, the sharpshooters from each team were assembled to shoot the wooden wheels of the wheelbarrow.This trick really worked, and as the bullets flew down on the wheels.The wheel, which was already bearing the weight of the sand, exploded and lay on the hillside.Bing Yong, who was hiding behind the wheelbarrow, instantly lost his cover and was exposed to the guns of the Huaxing army."
Bang, bang, bang" bullets passed through the rain curtain, "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" pierced through the corpses of the Huai army, and for a time the sound of wailing and screaming spread all over the wilderness.Without the cover of the wheelbarrow, the Huai army holding the door panel also ushered in the end.The Huaxing army in the trench shot after shot, and the bullets smashed through densely like raindrops.Bing Yong, who was hiding behind the door panel, was not killed by the bullets that penetrated him, and some of them were lucky not to be pierced by the bullets, but because of the huge impact, Bing Yong's hands were torn apart, and he threw the door panel on the ground as soon as he was numb.The hillside was now full of corpses, and after reaching a range of seventy meters, the archers of the Huai army finally filled the bows and arrows behind the door soldiers.In an instant, a rain of arrows rose from the hillside.Luo Sanyuan, who was watching the military situation in the command post, was extremely nervous, but under the heavy rain, the bow and arrows could not reach the expected range at all, and one by one fell down not far from the trench.After the door guards hit a radius of fifty meters, they almost hit a transparent wall.was firmly blocked outside by the rain of bullets from the Huaxing Army, and he couldn't take a step forward.The corpses of the Huai army were lined up with knives, and the soldiers behind them roared and replenished them, but they still rushed two or three steps to no avail, and then fell weakly on top of the corpses of their companions.The rain on the hillside mixed with blood and water rushed down, staining the whole mountain red."
Brother Pan, the situation seems to be very bad, why don't you let the brothers tear it off and make plans" Zhang Shusheng held the binoculars, looked at the rows of fallen soldiers on the hillside, and shouted in distress.At this time, Huai Jun saw that he was in close contact with Huaxing Army, and Pan Dingxin gritted his teeth and insisted.Secretly praying that the ammunition of the Qingzi army is exhausted, that is, it is worth sacrificing half of the Huai army."
Brother Pan, withdraw it, the firepower of the Qingzi Army is too strong, and our door panel will not work at all."
Zhang Yuchun also made a hurried suggestion, and the tens of thousands of door soldiers who rushed in front of his mouth were all gone."
No, we have already paid such a big price, and we must not back down easily.I don't believe that the Qing Zijun still has much ammunition to consume" Pan Dingxin shouted coldly, like a gambler with a red eye, gritting his teeth and trying to win back a game.The Dingzi Army, the Shuzi Army and the Chunzi Army are the most elite forces of the Huai Army, and most of the soldiers are veterans of regimental training from Anhui, and their fighting consciousness is very tenacious.The order to retreat was not heard, even though the hillside was already full of corpses.The Huai army was able to stubbornly maintain the charge, and no one retreated."
The troops are still strong, if they also have our weapons, today's battle will not be easy."
Zhang Zongyu inspected the military situation in the rain outside the military tent, and secretly cheered for his opponent in his heart."
Commander, we are running out of ammunition, and if they don't retreat, we must be ready for a white-knuckle battle."
Luo Sanyuan reminded Zhang Zongyu behind him, and secretly prayed in his heart that reinforcements would arrive soon."
Oh no, Commander, the brothers are running out of ammunition."
At this time, Tan Guanglin, the commander of the Chinese army, and Luo Changfeng, the commander of the right army, came across the horse with a panicked face
