In Daliang Town, hundreds of Taiping troops carrying firearms and spears confronted the Qing troops in the town.
The Taiping army arrived in Daliang Town in the morning, and found that there were many Qing troops and regimental training garrisons in the town, and there were forts that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Huang Si, a hundred households of the second brigade and three guards of the right battalion of the infantry army, who led the army, ordered not to attack, and sent people to report to the brigade commander, asking the brigade commander to ask the artillery team to support, so as to avoid excessive casualties among his subordinates when attacking the fortress.
Waiting for the time of the artillery team, Huang Si was not idle, sent people to go around the town, determined two breakthrough entrances, and launched an attack as soon as the artillery team came, and must have lunch in the town.
There are about 300 Qing troops in the town, and more than 500 people in Daliang Town, who were mobilized by the Qing army.
The leader is Hu Mingyi, the foreign affairs committee of the Guangdong Green Battalion stationed in Daliang Town, this person is the cousin of Hu Qili, the general of the supervision standard, and the day before yesterday he just sent back to Guangzhou an urgent report that the Taiping army was forcing into Daliang, and today the Taiping army came.
After discovering that the Taiping army appeared outside the town, Hu Mingyi has been frowning on the fortress, his uncle led so many battalions of soldiers to defeat the Taiping army, where did he dare to fight with the Taiping army.
It's not that he didn't want to run, but the Taiping army moved too fast, and as soon as he entered Panyu, he divided his troops to plunder and blocked several key roads, so that he couldn't run if he wanted to, so he could only stay in Daliang Town to wait for help.
Most of the more than 300 battalions under Hu Mingyi were new recruits who had just entered the camp.
If it weren't for the Qing army and the gentry telling them that once the Taiping army broke through the town, they would have the courage to confront the Taiping army with hoes here.
Hu Mingyi was too busy to take care of himself, and he didn't care about cheering up these useless subordinates, so he led two of his own soldiers to climb the fort tower and look around, and found that the Taiping army had blocked the two ways out of the town, and he completely lost the idea of breaking through, so he just lay on the upper floor and looked north, looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements from Guangzhou.
"Mr.
Hu Qian, Mr.
Hu Qian" A hurried call sounded downstairs, and then someone went up the stairs with a "bang".
Hu Mingyi glanced at the visitor, then turned his head and ignored him.
The person who came was the only one in Daliang Town who was an official outside Wan Quan'an, and his lord Wan Li was in Hubei Province to make a political envoy to participate in politics, specializing in military affairs and people's affairs, and was a big official from the three products, so Wan Jia's status in Daliang Town was quite high, and the influence was also great.
Before the Taiping army came, Wan Li's younger brother Wan Guo came forward to organize the young and strong people in the town to form a regiment to assist the Qing army in defending the village.
However, Hu Mingyi is not very polite to the Wan family, the county officials are not as good as the current management, can a leftist politician who is far away in Hubei still be able to manage him, plus the Wan Guo usually relies on his brother to be a third-grade official in the imperial court, so he looks down on Hu Mingyi, who was born in Qiu Ba, and the relationship between the two has not been so harmonious.
After Wanli organized the town's youth regiment to practice and assist in the defense, he always pointed out the defense of Daliang Town, and longed to replace Hu Mingyi to personally command the defenders of Daliang Town, so that if he could repel the Taiping army, he would be able to get an official to do.
In this way, Hu Mingyi is even more incompatible with Wanli.
Wan Quanan knew the contradiction between his second master and the foreign commissioner, although he had the heart to persuade peace, after all, the enemy was at present, and the internal work had to be made together, but the second master did not listen to his persuasion, and Hu Mingyi ignored him, which made him very unhappy to be caught in the middle.
It's not good to be sad, the second master asked him to question, Wan Quanan could only step forward and say to Hu Mingyi with a smile: "Lord Hu, the second master of my family asked me to ask you, should we take advantage of the fact that there are not many Taiping Kou soldiers and horses to rush out first to kill them, and kill their arrogance, so that these thieves know that our Daliang Town is not so easy to provoke."
Hearing this, Hu Mingyi sneered and said to Wan Guoan: "You go and tell the second master of your family, if he sees that Taiping Kou is easy to fight, he will lead people to fight by himself, and this official will not accompany him to mess around." ” "This" Wan Quanan laughed, Hu Mingyi's battalion soldiers don't go out to fight, what can these young men do.
"The second master of my family doesn't have to defeat the thieves, but I just think that letting the thieves set up camp outside the town will inevitably reduce the morale of our army a little, so I want to" Before Wan Quanan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Hu Mingyi, "It's still the same sentence, if he wants to go out, he will go by himself, don't drag Lao Tzu to die."
Hmph, he's a thief and a thief, but a thief is a bullying for us, a rotten man who doesn't know anything knows what, fooling around" After speaking, he patted his ass and led his soldiers down to the castle tower, threw a Wanquan'an there and sighed, not knowing how to talk back to the second master.
"Brother Huang, the Qing Demon in Lingshan Town seems to be scared by us, hey, these dog Qing Demons know how to bully the soft and fear the hard, what kind of bird is his mother's nest in the town, if you have the ability to come out and fight with us, my brothers are itching hands, I can't wait to rush out now and drag those dog Qing demons out I said Brother Huang, when do we have to wait?"
Fan Tongqing, the general banner of the left battalion, who was ordered to lead his own team of spearmen to cooperate with the right battalion of the infantry army, walked to Huang Si's side humming a small song, he was in a particularly good mood these days, because with the military merits of the first battle of Lutouhe, he was promoted from the small flag to the general banner, and the soldiers under his command also changed from the original 10 people to 50 people.
Huang Si glanced at Fan Tongqing and laughed, he originally knew Fan Si, a guy who ran from the countryside to Xinhui City to live in a house for nothing, and later the Taiping Army occupied Xinhui City, and he and Fan Si were requisitioned by the Taiping Army to repair the city wall.
The fate is big, the two of them are not tired to death, and then the Taiping Army is short of people to make up for them into the army, but also the fate is big, a few months down, not only did he not die, but also one became the guard officer of the right battalion of the infantry army, and the other became the general flag of the left battalion of the infantry army, which is really embarrassing.
"What are you anxious about, don't think that you underestimate this Daliang Town, although the Qing Demon in it is not beaten, but it is not so easy for us to take down the fortress, I am afraid that we will not be able to take it without losing dozens of lives."
Huang Si said and looked up at the town, but there was no movement at all in the sight of the Qing army in the town, except for the occasional person on the fortress who came out to take a look, he could no longer see a living person.
There was not even a single bird to be seen above the town, and it was so quiet that not a single sound could be heard.
"Wait for the artillery team to come, fire a few shots, and see if they dare to hide."
Huang Si looked down on the Qing army in the town, if he didn't want to suffer too many casualties, he would have ordered a strong attack earlier.
Fan Tongqing reminded him: "Brother Huang, the task we received is to quickly occupy Daliang Town, if this is delayed for a long time, will there be any changes, but Ge Yingshuai said, the Qing Demon of Guangzhou City is coming soon, if we can't empty Daliang Town before them, aren't we here in vain?"
Huang Si smiled: "How can you rest assured that the Qing Demon in Guangzhou can't reach us, the military marshal has already led the brigade forward, and this is left for us to start, the military marshal said, we came here this time to grab food, so we not only want to take Daliang Town, but also empty this town, and not leave a grain of grain to the Qing Demon" oshow7 t1706231537:
