"Rush," Lai Yuxin shouted hard.The drums on the battlefield suddenly sounded, and for a while, nearly 20,000 dancers with big swords and spears rushed towards the Huaxing army layer by layer.From a high place, it looks like a swarm of ants have found food, and they gather in the middle."
Ninety rulers, port side firing in unison, not counting ammunition."
In the middle of the river, which was 500 meters apart, the warships of the Huaxing Army were already lined up.Like a steel dragon, lying upright in the Yangtze River.Zheng Dahai stood on the bow of the ship and shouted coldly. ”Ruler ninety. ”"Port side.""
Ammunition is not counted.""
The military order passed the command flag, constantly echoing on the battleship."
Knock, knock, knock, knock."
The thunderous roar pierced the sky again, and the main gun and the thirty-six broadside guns fired in unison, and the five battleships seemed to be about to cut through the sky."
Boom, boom, boom."
In an instant, the Taiping Army's position 500 meters away was full of gunsmoke, enveloping the entire riverside in the sound of artillery fire.The rocks are cracked and the dust is flying.The Taiping army was completely covered by artillery fire, because the formation of the shock was too dense.Every time a shell explodes, three or five people fall straight down.The flesh and blood all over his body were blurred, and he was horrified.The drumming of the offensive continued.The Taiping army seemed to have fallen into a frenzy, braving artillery fire and still charging forward.Military orders are like mountains, and whoever dares to risk turning back at this time will definitely be dealt with by military law."
One hundred meters, there are only one hundred meters left, rush quickly" Lai Yuchang watched the encirclement getting smaller and smaller on the high ground, roared excitedly, and clenched his fists.When the Taiping army attacked within a hundred meters, the ship's cannon fire also stopped.The real slaughter has just begun."
Launching" the Huaxing Army camp, Wu Xuming waved the saber again.The Huaxing Army, which was already ready for battle, pulled the trigger in his hand at this moment."
Bang, bang, bang" There were thousands of kilometers of semi-circular positions, and all of them erupted into firecracker-like gunfire.Like a frightened hedgehog, it suddenly stretched out its spikes.The Taiping army besieged on three sides, but there was no place to start, and no matter what direction it was, it was covered by a rain of bullets."
Brother, don't rush, get down."
A teenager in the Taiping Army, looking at the falling crowd in front of him, pulled the arm of a young man in front of him in horror."
Second small, the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune is right in front of us, and if we win, we will have fifty taels of silver."
The young man was not afraid of life and death at all, and pulled his younger brother with a big knife in his hand to continue to attack."
Brother, just listen to me" The young man named Erxiao didn't finish speaking, and his brother's body suddenly fell to the ground for some reason, pulling Erxiao to the ground.The second little one was frightened and got up in a panic.I saw that a blood hole had appeared in my brother's chest at some point, and blood was constantly gushing outward."
Brother, brother, get up quickly, my mother is still waiting for us at home, brother, hurry up" Erxiao looked at his brother's appearance, and was at a loss for a moment.He hurriedly took off his gown and pressed it against his brother's wound, trying to support his blood.His brother's body twitched, his eyes stared at Er Xiao with a round eye, and after a few glances with his feet, there was no movement."
Brother, hurry up" Erxiao's eyes were blurred with tears, and he let out a long howl.Clung to the ground, dodging bullets flying in front of him.At this time, the Taiping army was peeled off layer by layer like an onion, batches of corpses fell, and batches of men and horses stepped on the corpses and rushed up.Although there have been two or three actual battles, the soldiers of the Huaxing Army on the position still couldn't help but tremble.The muzzle bullets continued to fire, and even the barrel became hot.didn't aim at a Taiping army, pulled the trigger in his hand, and there was a person on the opposite side who was hit by a bullet.Killing people alive and shooting targets on the battlefield are completely different things, and there are already soldiers sick to their stomachs."
Don't rush, don't rush, I beg you."
A soldier howled with his eyes closed, tears welling up from the corners of his eyes.But the right hand still skillfully pulled the bolt, pulled the trigger, and shot in a standard position.Wu Xuming looked around coldly with a telescope, the Taiping army had been impacted for less than half an hour, and thousands of people had fallen.The dense corpses threw themselves on the ground, and it was impossible to distinguish where the ground was and where the corpses were.For Wu Xuming, there is no touch at all, it must be fake.But he had to do it, because on the battlefield, if you relent, you will be the one who lies down.The only thing to pray for is that future generations will never go to war again."
Big brother, why don't you let the brothers stop rushing.Let's withdraw, let's stop fighting. ”Lai Yuchang looked at the increasingly huge casualties on the battlefield, and his heart was already entangled to the extreme."
Shut up, you know everything is now within seventy meters, let the archers attack" Lai Yuxin shouted loudly with a cold face, and gave an order, and the heralds spread it around."
Archer, strike.""
Archer, strike."
Before the expedition, Lai Yuxin pulled the archers out of the various departments, and there were more than 3,000 people.As long as the impact distance is fifty meters, the rain of arrows is enough to cover the Huaxing army.The closer the distance, the greater the casualties of the Taipings, with almost every bullet taking a life.The seventy meters were like an invisible wall, and the Taiping army had already attacked more than a dozen waves.But as soon as he stepped within 70 meters, he was completely pierced by the bullet.Wu Xuming held the binoculars and also noticed the abnormality on the Taiping army's position.The more than 3,000 archers lined up, all loaded with their bows and arrows, and rushed forward with their bows full.It was all up to the soldiers in front of them to block the bullets, and they quickly hit within a hundred meters."
Machine gunner prepare" Wu Xuming quickly waved the order flag in his hand a few times.The heralds on the position quickly observed the flag, and the brigade commander quickly followed suit."
Brush, brush, brush."
On a thousand-meter front, there were two machine gunners in each company, lifting the jet-black iron guy out of his head.There are more than 100 of thousands of meters of occupied line.Since he went to the battlefield, Wu Xuming has not used this big killing weapon.If you use it today, it will definitely be overshadowed."
Fire" The corners of Wu Xuming's mouth twitched, and he shouted, waving the order flag to shoot."
Toot, toot, toot, toot, toot."
In an instant, there was a dull burst, and the bullets spat out like raindrops, spitting out from the mouth of the expeditionary machine gun.The "whooshing" converged into a net of heaven and earth, completely covering the Taiping army in front.The formation of the Taiping Army's impact was like a domino collapse at this time.There was no room for reaction at all, and as soon as the bullet arrived, it rolled down to the ground."
Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw."
The crowd that hit didn't know who shouted, and they didn't dare to take a step forward, and they faded backwards like a tide.The archers who had just stormed the battlefield saw that the situation was not good, so they ran backwards, where could they care about releasing arrows."
What is that" Lai Yuxin looked at the fire dragon that spit out from the muzzle, he almost couldn't close his mouth, and even the telescope in his hand trembled, and he fell heavily to the ground."
Huaxing Army, attack."
Wu Xuming waved the saber in his hand and pointed straight ahead.Half of the more than 20,000 Taiping troops lay in pools of blood, and the blood flowed into a small river that went straight to the Yangtze River.After the rout began, the commanders behind could no longer control the situation and fled backwards.Huaxing troops all jumped out of the trenches, spears in hand, and pulled the trigger while pursuing.Gunfire rang out and gunsmoke filled the air.At this time, apart from escaping, the Taiping army no longer had any thoughts in their heads.The black pressure is like a scattered ant colony, scurrying around in a panic.The battle lasted until noon, and the Huaxing army captured more than 5,000 people, and more than 5,000 people fled along Lai Yuxin's original route.Wu Xuming was also not interested in these captives, so he all requisitioned the weapons in his hands and sent them home.The overall situation was decided, and the army of the Huaxing Army boarded ships in Qingxi Town and took advantage of the situation to head towards Fuling.Lai Yuxin was bound to win this battle, and only left hundreds of soldiers and horses to guard the gates of the city.The total number of Taiping troops in the city did not exceed 1,000, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled.Because of the vertical and horizontal mountain roads on land, the ship that Huaxingjun was riding on actually arrived at the foot of Fuling City with Lai Yuxin first.The Taiping army defending the city gate was completely stunned by the fleet in the middle of the river, and the ship was about the same height as the city wall."
Boom, boom, boom."
The ship's broadside guns and main guns were fired at the same time, and the walls were suddenly covered with shells.For a time, the masonry cracked, the wall collapsed, and the city collapsed.Where did the Taiping army in the city still have the courage to resist, and they all fled through the south gate and fled to the back.Lai Yuxin returned to the vicinity of Fuling City with 5,000 soldiers and horses, and when the spies saw the strange military flags fluttering on the city wall, they hurriedly went back to pay their respects."
Report, military marshal, Fuling City is lost, Fuling City is lost" "What" Lai Yuxin's head was dizzy for a while, and he really regretted not listening to what his cousin said, and retaining his strength and withdrawing to Chongqing.Now stealing chickens and rice is not a recipe for rice, and the army of more than 30,000 has been beaten to only these 5,000 people."
Big brother, what should I do now" Lai Yuchang shouted anxiously."
What else can I do, immediately lead the troops back to Chongqing.The goal of the Huaxing Army is Fuling County, and it will not pursue it desperately. ”Lai Yuxin flashed a trace of despair, even if he returned to Chongqing, he didn't know how to explain to King Yi, so he could only take one step at a time, and it was important to save his life first.After the Huaxing army took Fulingcheng, Wu Xuming quickly sent troops to guard the various city gates.After carrying weapons, ammunition and supplies from the ship, Zheng Dahai also led the fleet down the river overnight and continued to transfer troops and horses to Sichuan.Two days later, Qiao Zhiqing received the good news from Fuling County and finally breathed a sigh of relief.Fuling County is the east gate of Chongqing Municipality and the base for entering Sichuan and Guizhou.After taking Fuling County, Sichuan and Guizhou will not be a problem.But Shi Dakai must organize a counterattack of soldiers and horses, and Fuling's achievements are equivalent to a lonely city outside the pass.Whether you can defend Fuling or not depends on Wu Xuming's ability
