"What's going on, what kind of play is this thief Xiucai?"
The Taiping army suddenly advanced in four formations, without temptation, without forwards, and directly pressed up in four formations, this kind of play was unheard of, and the Qing generals were dumbfounded.
Kong Guozhi was also stunned there, he was originally going to lead his troops to rush the left formation of the Taiping Army, but now the Taiping Army came out in four formations, not that he was going to rush the Taiping Army, but that the Taiping Army came to rush him.
Kong Guozhi didn't expect that the Taiping army would fight like this, and as soon as it came up, it was all of it, and he didn't leave any behind, so he couldn't help but mess up.
The Taiping army did not fight according to the rules, and his Nangan soldiers suddenly became the target of the Taiping army's four formations.
"A fucking thief is a real thief" Seeing that the Taiping army was about to rush close to his own ranks, Kong Guozhi immediately made a decision, knowing that he could not retreat, otherwise his Southern Jiangxi soldiers would likely become a rout.
"Kill the thief with me" Kong Guozhi beat his horse and led his personal soldiers to carry his general army banner and rushed towards the Taiping army in front of him.
Seeing that the general soldiers were the first to take the lead, the soldiers of the Nangan Green Battalion also came back to their senses, and hurriedly gathered together and rushed towards the Taiping Army with the banner of the general army.
Kong Guozhi stared at the junction of several formations of the Taiping army in front of him, thinking of breaking through from there, but before he could get closer, he heard the Taiping army generals on the opposite side shouting, and soon, countless firearms were fired in the Taiping army's formation.
In the sound of guns, dozens of Qing soldiers fell to the ground.
"Rush, keep rushing" How could there be immortals in the rushing battle, Kong Guozhi didn't care about the casualties of dozens of people, and raised his arms and shouted for his soldiers to rush into the Taiping army formation desperately.
During the charge, two crossbow arrows hit Kong Guozhi, but they were bounced off by the armor on his body, and they did not hurt Kong Guozhi at all.
The cavalry of the Taiping army also roared and killed, and the Taiping soldiers who rushed to the front did not know where they came from, and they actually shot the cavalry bow on the horse.
Ban Zhifu led more than 200 cavalry also rushed up to fight with the cavalry of the Taiping Army, the two sides slashed together, originally thought that the cavalry of the Taiping Army were some rabble who were not skilled in riding, which wanted to fight, Ban Zhifu's people folded a small half, and then listened to the Manchurian words in the mouth of the other party, the Qing army was like a mouse seeing a cat, and their morale was not high, they were immediately timid, and the Manchurian uncle surrendered the Taiping army, and they also fart Ban Zhifu saw that the Taiping Army's infantry army was about to encircle Kong Guozhi in three formations, and in a hurry, he led the cavalry to rush and kill with him, but only a few dozen people were willing to rush and kill with him, and the others hesitated, showing that the fear of the Manchurian soldiers in their bones overwhelmed their reason.
Among the cavalry of the Taiping Army, there were Han troops under the Pingnan Domain, and when they saw that the people led by Dutong Ban Zhifu had relatives and friends, they shouted in the middle of the battle and asked the other party to rush over.
Although none of his subordinates really listened to the other party's shouts and threw themselves over, the people's hearts fluctuated, and this fighting spirit could not be raised.
Ban Zhifu couldn't stabilize his subordinates, knowing that he couldn't contain the cavalry of the Taiping Army, and he couldn't run away if he delayed any longer, so he had to lead people to retreat.
Shang Zhixin saw that Kong Guozhi's troops were about to fall into the encirclement of the Taiping army, and Ban Zhifu's cavalry could not stop the cavalry of the Taiping army, so he hurriedly waved the flag and ordered Song Rui, the general of Yingde and Germany, Sun Yi, the deputy general of Nanxiong, and Tang Sanshui, the deputy general of Zhaoqing, to immediately step forward to respond, and to block the Taiping army no matter what.
Song Rui and the others knew that they must not let the Taiping army eat the Kong Guozhi Department, otherwise they would die without a place to be buried, so they each blew their trumpets and led their subordinates to rush forward.
There is no formation to pay attention to in this battle so far, and the fight is ruthless, rushing up to kill the people, whoever has more people left can win Tang Sanshui also ordered his soldiers to carry the banner and rushed forward with more than 2,000 Zhaoqing battalion soldiers very bravely.
It's just that the speed of Deputy General Tang's troops and horses is a little slower than that of the Nanxiong soldiers and the British and German soldiers, and Vice General Tang turned around and looked back while moving forward, but he didn't know what to do.
Seeing Tang Sanshui's slow movements, Shang Zhixin was furious, but he could only watch dryly, as long as Tang Sanshui moved forward instead of turning around and running away, His Royal Highness the Prince would burn high incense After Ban Zhifu led the remaining cavalry back, Kong Guozhi's troops on the battlefield had been surrounded by half of the Taiping army's infantry army.
In the shouting of killing, I saw the cavalry of the Taiping Army protruding and advancing from the Confucian State Department from time to time.
In the face of the attack of the Taiping army several times its own strength, coupled with the penetration of cavalry, the southern Jiangxi army was unstable.
Kong Guozhi saw Shang Keyuan in the battle, and the other party also saw him, but it was not as his nephew Shang Zhixin said, and he did not really work hard for the thief Xiucai, but led the Pingnan Han army under his command to continue to advance towards Kong Guozhi's department.
Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao and the Han army under Kong Youde's domain were originally firearms, and most of the officers were trained by Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai in the Ming Dynasty, so they have always attached importance to firearms, and they are also fully firearms-based troops.
Although the current Han army under the domain is a new generation, the importance of firearms under the domain still makes these new Han soldiers more proficient than the right battalion of the Taiping army.
The Taiping army and the Han army under the two feudal domains fought several times, either to occupy more people and bully less, or to rely on the geographical advantage to make it difficult for them to play firearms, so as to win, if the two armies pulled apart to bombard, even ten more Zhou Shixiang could not save the Taiping army, after all, the Taiping army was too short to form an army, the quality of the soldiers was too low, and he had no conditions to improve firearms, resulting in the two sides now holding the same weapons, evenly matched and fighting, naturally more defeats and fewer victories.
Fortunately, the addition of a large number of Han troops improved the Taiping Army's firearms training and tactical drills.
This was proven in practice during the two major wars at the Deer Head River.
However, even so, if it weren't for the Taiping army suddenly attacking Guangzhou and taking the 3 Han Niulu Han army under the Pingnan Domain in the city by surprise, it may not be able to capture Guangzhou in one fell swoop.
Most of the Han army was killed, and the rest of the Han soldiers under the Pingnan Domain were pinched in the hands of the Taiping army, and they were forced by the Taiping army to attack Mancheng, slaughtering a lot of Manchu people, and the Manchurian blood on their hands was enough for them to be beheaded by the Qing court a hundred times, so where is as Shang Zhixin thought, he is unwilling to sincerely work for the Taiping army, just like Suna and other Manchu soldiers, this will only have one thought: the stronger the Taiping army, the longer their lives can live.
The same is true of the Han army under the Jingnan Domain, which is in the middle of the infantry army, and their princes have all surrendered to the Taiping army, not to mention them.
These Han troops, who were skilled in the use of firearms, were slightly trained by the Taiping officers, and the use of segmented shooting was even stronger than that of the Taiping army, and the loading speed of the guns was much faster.
Under the fire of the Han army under the domain and the slashing of the Manchu and Han cavalry, the Southern Jiangxi soldiers could not bear it, and the casualties amounted to hundreds of people.
Kong Guozhi saw that his subordinates suffered heavy casualties, and the Taiping army surrounded him again, and Song Rui and they had not yet come up, worried that they would not be able to wait for Song Rui and them to come up, and they would be eaten by the Taiping army.
He intended to retreat, but before he could give the order to retreat, Song Rui and the others retreated at the same time, and when they looked at it again, the Zhaoqing Green Battalion on the right had already run back, and instead of running away, they were killing in the direction where Shang Zhixin was.
