Chapter 639: Ironclad Hoplites


When Daniel Zhang was full of pride, in the Taiping army formation opposite, Yu Shizhong's eyes also fell on his Shaanxi-Gansu green camp.

"Daniel Zhang, Zhao Liangdong" Yu Shizhong was a little puzzled, these two people were unknown in the Qing army, why did the marshal deliberately write the names of these two people on paper and hand them to himself, and said that if they could be captured alive, they would be captured, and if they could not be captured alive, they would be killed, and they must not be allowed to escape.

Zhou Shixiang's solemn explanation made Yu Shizhong particularly concerned, and before the war, he summoned the general to inquire about the details of Daniel Zhang and Zhao Liangdong, but the result was very little known, which made Yu Shizhong more and more puzzled, how the two nobodies valued the marshal more than Luo Tuo and Line Guoan.

In fact, Zhou Shi valued Daniel Zhang and Zhao Liangdong a little too much, and when the two of them were really useful to the Qing court, it was the "Three Fan Rebellion" more than ten years later.

Now, the second general is insignificant in the Qing army, and as for the other two Wang Jinbao and Sun Sike of the four Han generals in Hexi, they can be commensurate with nobodies.

In other words, the stage for Daniel Zhang, Zhao Liangdong, Sun Sike, and Wang Jinbao to shine has not yet arrived.

Zhao Liangdong is a bearded, Daniel Zhang can lead soldiers, is Zhou Shixiang from a later generation of novelists in the book of the book, at that time only felt that these two people were big heroes, but now it is not the same thing at all, from the perspective of the Manchurians, Daniel Zhang and Zhao Liangdong are indeed Qing court heroes, but from the perspective of the Han people, these people are authentic numbers and forgotten ancestors, authentic traitor executioners As for the novelist, Shixiang also thinks that his heart can be cursed.

However, even so, Zhou Shixiang was still ready to recruit Daniel Zhang and others, hoping that these Han generals who worked for the Qing court could work for themselves.

Don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people, as long as you come back anyway, ignoring all past actions is Zhou Shi's usual attitude towards demotion.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, forced by current events, some people's actions really can't be blamed too much.

For example, Li Chengdong and Wang Deren worked for the Qing army before the incident, and their hands were stained with the blood of the Han people, but they did not lose the heroes of the Han family after the incident.

Daniel Zhang was in the Roto army, but Zhao Liangdong was not there.

Yu Shizhong carefully observed Daniel Zhang's Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp with a clairvoyant mirror, and gradually, his expression was a little solemn.

After Luo Tuo readjusted his deployment, the Qing cavalry, which was responsible for outflanking the two flanks of the Taiping army, made a sharp U-turn, gathered in one place, and began to attack the Taiping army's defense line at a rapid pace.

Ma Harrier, who was in the rear of the Taiping army, was a little impatient, he couldn't wait for the order of the commander of the legion, and could only watch the Qing cavalry roar and kill his own infantry array.

Thousands of cavalry rushed into battle, like ten thousand horses galloping, causing an earth-shattering momentum, and the earth trembled with the sound of horses' hooves.

The left and right flanks of the Taiping Army were Wang Youxi's fourth town and Shang Keyuan's thirteenth town, the former was the old fourth town, but in the first battle of Liuzhou, the two brigades were heavily damaged by the line Guoan, and the latter was a newly built Guangxi wolf soldier town, which had never been on the battlefield.

The large-scale rush of thousands of Qing cavalry was undoubtedly a huge test for the soldiers of these two towns.

Sure enough, under the fierce onslaught of the Qing cavalry, the fourth and thirteenth towns were somewhat unable to support them, and quickly retreated and fled to both sides.

The battlefield was full of fighting enemy and enemy armies, and tens of thousands of people gathered together to fight, so that Luo Tuo, who had to watch the battle, could not see what was happening on the battlefield for a while, but he saw that the banners on the left and right wings of the Taiping army were retreating to the rear, and his heart was immediately overjoyed, knowing that the cavalry had succeeded.

Luo Tuo moved the clairvoyant mirror from the flanks of the Taiping Army to the Chinese General Flag, which he was looking forward to falling.

But he soon discovered that the success of the cavalry did not seem to be a good thing.

After breaking through the thin defense line of the Taiping army on the left and right flanks in one fell swoop, they were about to take advantage of the situation to break through and widen the gap, but the Qing cavalry, which had obtained more results, found that the Taiping army that was broken by them did not collapse and retreat, but retreated to both sides in an organized manner.

As the Taiping army retreated, the Qing cavalry saw that the Taiping army in front of them had launched a piece of artillery.

Nearly 70 artillery pieces were launched on the left and right flanks at the same time, half of which were tiger squat cannons that could be used to fire scattered bullets, and many of them were abandoned on Xiaobei Mountain by Line Guoan.

The artillery had already been loaded with ammunition, and after the Qing cavalry rushed through the Taiping army's defensive line, Yu Shizhong's command flag waved.

"Open the gun" The artillerymen lit the arquebus at the officer's command, and dozens of guns roared.

In the roaring cannon, hundreds of Qing cavalry fell off their horses at the same time, which made the Qing cavalry array behind it stagnate.

This was followed by several rounds of shelling, and more and more Qing cavalry fell in front of the battle.

The Qing army array was also in chaos, and the people in front of the Taiping army turned on their backs and neighed.

The red pennant in Yu Shizhong's hand waved out again, and the blind man Li, who had been sitting on the ground with his subordinates, saw the big banner waved by the herald under his banner.

"Armor" The blind man Li roared excitedly, and the eight hundred iron guards jumped up from the ground in an instant, and with the help of the auxiliaries, they quickly put on iron armor.

"Kill" The blind man Li shouted, stepped first, and rushed towards the Qing army with his sledgehammer.

According to Yu Shizhong's orders before the war, the blind Li led the iron man guard to attack the Qing cavalry on the right flank, because the right flank was a newly formed wolf soldier town, which lacked firearms and could not effectively restrain the Qing cavalry.

The Fourth Town on the left flank, on the other hand, faced far fewer firearms than the Thirteenth Town.

Shang Keyuan, who commanded the Thirteen Towns against the enemy, saw the blind Li's Iron Man Guard dispatch, and his heart suddenly moved.

It wasn't those heavily armored elite soldiers who reassured him, but the blind man Li.

The cavalry of the Qing army, which was blocked by artillery, spotted the Taiping army on the opposite side, and drove a soldier and horse dressed in iron armor to kill them.

The generals and colonels called out in unison, quickly adjusted the queue, and rushed towards the ironclad soldier with the corpses of their companions in front of them.

The Manchurian Eight Banners who rushed to the front brandished their long knives and rushed straight towards the ironclad soldiers with their spears straight.

The war horses were running faster and faster, and from time to time Qing soldiers fell from their horses by guns, arrows, and cannons, but more Qing soldiers rushed to the front of the Iron Man Guard, and in an instant, the Qing army's cavalry spears stabbed at those iron armor soldiers.

The moment the cavalry came into contact with the iron armor, there was a crackling sound on the battlefield, and the Qing soldiers on the horse were stunned to find that the sharp spear heads in their hands not only failed to pierce the iron armor of the Taiping army, but broke the barrels of the guns on it one after another.

And the Iron Man Guard was hit by the Qing army's horsepower riding spear, and many people fell backwards, and even many people were knocked into the air, and then flew off the ground with the heavy armor on their bodies, and fell heavily to the ground, making a muffled sound one after another.

Some of the iron guards could no longer get up from the ground, and some of them suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, but their internal organs were stabbed by the Qing army's cavalry guns.

The blind Li was not knocked into the air, but smashed a hammer on the chest of the war horse of a Qing soldier in front of him.

The hammer fell, and the blood of the war horse was already spurting out, and immediately the knight was even more down, and before he could get up, he was smashed and dented by the blind man Li with a hammer and even the armor on his body.

Dozens of Iron Man Guards were knocked away by the Qing army, but the formation did not loosen.

The vacated position of the fallen Iron Man Guard was filled by the companions behind, and it was firmly blocked in front of the Qing cavalry.

Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while.

The Iron Man Guard raised by Zhou Shixiang with meat did not disappoint him, nor did he disappoint the blind man Li, like the Chaohui War, the Iron Man Wei once again proved his worth.

They use practical actions to tell their allies that they are not wine bags and rice bags The charging speed of the Qing army was completely delayed, and the Iron Man Guards were originally ironclad hoplites, their presence, their sacrifices, and their bravery made it impossible for the Qing cavalry to move forward.

Yu Shizhong's face didn't have any emotion, but he subconsciously waved the flag in his hand again.

So the wolf soldiers of the Thirteen Towns roared and rushed towards the stagnant Qing cavalry.

"Withdraw, withdraw" Arzin shouted and ordered to retreat, except for the one hundred and ten Qing soldiers in front who had not had time to withdraw and were killed on the spot by the Iron Man Guard, the rest of the cavalry quickly turned their horses and retreated, and quickly retreated along the spear jungle of the wolf soldiers of the thirteenth town.

There were constantly Qing soldiers who were stabbed down by spears and knocked over by guns.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and the Eight Banners Cavalry, which was still crashing on the shore like a stormy wave just now, quickly broke away from the white contact with the Taiping Army like a low tide.

"Damn, it's running fast" The blind man Li glanced at the subordinates who fell to the ground around him, feeling a little distressed and a little regretful. oshow7 t1706231537:
