When the two white flags of the Han army went south to Beijing, they transferred 14 Niu Lu 5,800 soldiers, but the Wuzhen Chaoha artillery accounted for 8 Niu Lu nearly 4,000 soldiers, and as a result, the Xitang River official road in Chaozhou was dumped by the Taiping army, and more than 400 soldiers were folded when attacking Lufeng City, and now there are only 4 Niu Lu more than 1,000 soldiers left, of which only 2 Niu Lu are armed with firearms.
The one who was ordered to lead these two Niu Lu to attack the Taiping army was Cai Yuanfeng, the co-leader who almost killed the Taiping army under Lufeng City.
In order to strengthen the momentum, the Mongolian Gushan Ezhen Surile ordered two Mongolian Niulu cavalry to dismount and follow the Han army to attack.
After the Han army attacked the mountain pass, the Zhili battalion soldiers on the left flank and Wu Liuqi's Chaozhou soldiers began to climb Xuanwu Mountain, and the Henan battalion soldiers on the right flank were also climbing.
Zhou Shixiang on the mountain found the Qing army climbing on both sides, immediately understood the intention of the Qing army, and hurriedly waved the flag and ordered the first town to transfer troops to intercept it, so that the Qing army would not rush up the mountain.
In the mountain pass, the firecrackers of the Taiping army and the Han soldiers of the Qing army shot at each other, and the smell of gunsmoke choked people on both sides couldn't help coughing loudly.
A full brigade of guns was deployed in the mountain pass to block the Qing army, and the Qing army's guns were less than half of them, although there were Mongolian soldiers to help in the battle, but the Qing army was still unable to break through the Taiping army's guns, but it restrained the Taiping army's guns, so that they did not dare to divide their troops and transfer out to intercept the green battalions climbing on both sides.
The trench in front of the Taiping army was already covered with corpses, and the sound of "bang" shook people's ears deafeningly, and under the smoke of gunpowder, people were faintly seen moving in the trench, but it was the injured Qing soldiers who covered their ears to avoid the people or corpses falling from above.
Jiang Fan, the brigade school of the first town A brigade, led his subordinates to stop the green battalion soldiers who were climbing, and after finding that the Qing army was below, he immediately ordered the soldiers to look for stones, and then smashed them down.
The Qing army was constantly hit by stones, and the sound of wailing resounded throughout the hillside.
Those Qing soldiers who were stoned to death immediately said that they would die if they died, and there was no pain in dying a hundred times, but those Qing soldiers who were just smashed and injured were unlucky, and their companions who were scurrying around like rabbits and dodging stones became their biggest enemies, because these companions didn't care about their lives or deaths, and they were crazy to block them in front of them, allowing them to be hit by stones, even if they died, they were treated as human shields.
There were not many stones on the slope, and soon the Taiping army, led by the officer, rushed towards the Qing army below.
The hillside was already narrow, and although the Qing army was numerous, they were panicked in the face of the Taiping army rushing down from above.
The Qing soldiers who rushed to the front were the target of the Taiping army's key attack, and soon the two sides exchanged hands, and a corpse immediately fell on the ground, some of the Qing army, some of the Taiping army, lying there, the dead gurgling with blood bubbles, and the miserable screams of the dead.
Broken arms and legs from big knives were everywhere, like slaughterhouses.
There are not a few people whose stomachs are called spears, and some of them are still running when their stomachs are broken, but their intestines fall to the ground and are dragged out.
There was a green battalion soldier who seemed to be a fierce god, and after finding that his stomach was pierced by the Taiping army, he actually stuffed the leaking intestines directly back into his stomach with the soil, and then tore his sleeves and strangled them on his stomach, and then he carried a knife to cut them down.
It's a pity that he didn't cut a few times, and finally couldn't stand the "plop" and fell to the ground, seeing that he was a good man, the Taiping army in front of him didn't let him torture him to death, and he cut off his neck very quickly, giving him a good time.
A guerrilla in the Green Battalion of Guide also doesn't know whether it was fate or good luck, the personal soldier behind him was hit by a stone of the Taiping Army and fell to the front door, and he was lucky to avoid a big stone falling from the sky, when he was secretly rejoicing, it was a pain in the back It turned out that the personal soldier who was hit by the stone hit the face door was instinctively carried forward when he fell, and as a result, the sharp knife in his hand inadvertently stabbed the guerrilla adult's back After all, the number of the Qing army exceeded that of the Taiping army, and after the initial panic, they quickly organized a counterattack, one of the two sides was in a high place, and the other was a large number, and they did not give in to each other, shouting to kill the heavens.
Yang Zhenwei, the commander of Zhending, knew that if he could not defeat the Taiping army in one fell swoop, the army's grain route would be cut off by the other party, and no one would want to live at that time, so he personally rushed forward with a knife to kill.
The general soldier's recklessness naturally encouraged his subordinates, and they followed Yang Zhenwei to climb up desperately, even if they stepped on the corpses of their companions.
"Kill" Yang Delin is Yang Zhenwei's nephew, because of his burly figure and good skills, he is liked by Yang Zhenwei, so he is the captain of his own soldiers, and he is also thinking about a future for him in the future, and treats this nephew as if he were his own child, which makes Yang Delin very grateful to his uncle for taking care of him.
I was very afraid that my uncle would be shot by a cold arrow, so I was so anxious that I called a few times in the back, and wanted my uncle to retreat and let them go up, but my uncle didn't pay attention to it at all, in a hurry, Yang Delin climbed up with a knife to protect his uncle's safety, but he just jumped two steps with a tree, and his neck was really pierced by an arrow shot from nowhere, and the feathers at the end of the arrow kept shaking because of the vibration.
Yang Zhenwei, who had cut down several Taiping soldiers in a row, was covered in blood at this time, and his beard was also stained with flesh and blood, and he was killing happily, when he saw his nephew being hit by an arrow, he was really in pain, and he rushed to the Taiping army in front of him with a fierce knife, and cut off the opponent's arm with a knife, screaming to avenge his nephew.
Under the leadership of Yang Zhenwei, the Qing army cut down hundreds of Taiping soldiers one after another, which made some Taiping soldiers from the original green battalion frightened, and retreated one after another despite the strict orders of the officers.
This group of Taiping troops from Ziluying is not like the Han army under the Pingnan and Jingnan domains, which have family members in the hands of the Taiping army, and many people do not have the blood of the Manzhou uncle on their hands, and most of them are directly used as Taiping soldiers by prisoners, such as the British and German soldiers and Nanxiong soldiers in the Battle of Sanjiangkou.
These people fought a good battle, but when they really encountered a tough battle, their inward-looking nature was revealed, just like their performance in the battle of Sanjiangkou, as soon as they saw that the Qing army fought hard and swore not to retreat, they were all afraid, and subconsciously did not want to throw their lives here.
At first, only a few people ran back, but it didn't take long for more than 100 people to run back together, most of them were soldiers from the green battalion, and a few were Han soldiers who ran together in a daze.
Those who insisted on not retreating were the soldiers who joined the Taiping Army before the Battle of Xinhui and some anti-Qing volunteers recruited by the Taiping Army in Xiangshan.
Seeing that his subordinates turned around and ran, Jiang Fan was naturally furious, but under the oppression of the Qing army, he couldn't separate himself to suppress the rout, so he could only gather the people around him and fight and retreat, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Qing army to break through in one fell swoop.
After discovering that the Taiping army was defeated and retreated, Yang Zhenwei was overjoyed, and Zhang Dan was also pleasantly surprised, and the two of them led their subordinates to rush forward desperately and seize a flat terrain on the mountainside.
From here, you can either attack the top of the mountain directly, or you can rush to the Taiping army at the bottom of the mountain, and the situation is suddenly unfavorable to the Taiping army.
If Yang Zhenwei and Zhang Dan choose to lead their troops to kill the guns under the mountain, it is likely that the guns will lose their position and be broken through by the Qing army outside the mountain pass.
After the battle began, Zhou Shixiang's attention was all on the Manchurian cavalry outside the valley, and he wanted to know when these Jidu would press all the strength at hand.
At this time, except for the Iron Man Guard who supervised the battle and the more than 300 cavalry of Suna, Zhou Shixiang had no mobile troops in his hands.
Only by blocking the crazy attack of the green battalion can Jidu be shocked, so that he does not dare to press all his forces up.
After discovering that the Qing army on the left slope had broken through Jiang Fan's department, Zhou Shixiang immediately knew that it was not good, and if the Qing army was asked to rush into the team under the mountain, the consequences would be unimaginable. didn't have time to think about it, Zhou Shixiang rushed down the slope with dozens of personal guards, Suna not far away was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the Qing army rushing up at the bottom of the slope on the left, he immediately understood what was happening, his face twitched fiercely, and he shouted at the cavalry under his command with a calm face, abandoned the war horse and ran down the slope.
Before fighting with the Qing army, he saw more than 100 routs of the A Brigade rushing over, Zhou Shixiang didn't say a word to them, he slashed at them with a knife, and the guards moved together, and suddenly dozens of rout soldiers were cut to the ground, and the rest of the rout soldiers were frightened, stunned and didn't dare to move.
