Chapter 511: Burning the Taiping Army


"Qi army, that turned out to be a large number of Qi soldiers" "Brothers, go to the city to resist and prevent the Qi army from entering the city.

For a while, the people in Huaide City were panicked, but the sergeants were also anxiously busy.

As the Taiping soldiers were in chaos, their commander Li Quan rushed to the city with a gun and looked up at the Qi soldiers who came from the city.

"It seems that the Qi army is still here after all, and the general should have thought of it a long time ago."

At this moment, while Li Quan was stepping up his defense, his thoughts were also far away.

In fact, he had long known that from the second county in the east, he could bypass the river and end the water defense line and come directly to Huaide.

It's just that Li Quan is also very aware of the situation in the two counties, not only the terrain is complex and full of miasma, but the key is the distribution of the Baiyue ethnic groups.

Not to mention that the Qi army belonged to outsiders, the Taiping army had been entrenched in Lingnan for several years, and Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, wanted to conquer all the ethnic groups in Baiyue, but they all returned It can be seen that although the strength of the Baiyue clan is limited, it is not difficult for the Qi army to pass.

However, now the fact is in front of us, the Qi army not only successfully passed through the second county, but also completely conquered Baiyue.

From the looming Yue sergeants in the Qi army, it can be known that this scene almost made Li Quan puzzled Not to mention how the Qi army conquered Baiyue, even if it was the power of nature, the miasma swamp that stretched for hundreds of miles could make people daunting This is also the fundamental reason why almost all the dynasties returned home when they marched south.

The factor is not how strong the local army is, but the forces of nature that cannot be resisted by man.

It's just that Li Quan may not have imagined until he dies that Gao Qi, the king of Qi, is a modern person who can greatly reduce the power of nature with modern inventions.

Outside the city, the Qi army was also assembled and ready to go, and then after some persuasion failed, they launched attacks in turn.

It's just that Huaide is deep in the hinterland of Lingnan, and its city has long been built indestructible.

How can the Qi army, which lacks a heavy attack, break through the city with manpower Therefore, the final result was only in vain, and the battle continued until night, and the Qi army retreated like a tide under the sound of gold.

Hurriedly set up the camp, the Qi soldiers who were tired for a day went away to rest, as for the main tent at this time, the generals gathered together to discuss today's battle situation.

In the tent, Yang Yanzhao stood up with his fists and said: "General, Huaide City is the hinterland of the Taiping Army, and its city defenses are impregnable."

"Because our army is from the second county, its complex terrain means that our army has no equipment to attack fortifications."

"Now, the cost of attacking the city alone is too great" "Therefore, the last general suggested that the siege equipment should be built first, and then the assault should be carried out."

To tell the truth, what Yang Yanzhao said was right, and Zhang Xian was also about to agree to the case, but Jia Xu on the side came out to stop him.

"General, now our army is not discussing the problem of attacking the city, but also discussing the issue of arranging defenses."

"As expected, the enemy will come to rob the camp today."

Hearing this, without waiting for Zhang Xian to react, Xue Dingshan put forward a different opinion, saying: "Military advisor, not so much."

"Our army now has a large number of generals, and its strength is far from being comparable to that of the Taiping Army."

"Where does the enemy have the courage to go out of the city and rob the camp in person" Faced with Jia Xu's words, Xue Dingshan first put forward different opinions and objected.

According to the art of war, the strength of the Taiping army is weak now, and it is the best policy to stick to the defending side, and it is true that they go out of the city and rob the camp Hearing this, the rest of the generals unanimously agreed with Xue Dingshan's words, but they isolated Jia Xu.

Seeing this, Jia Xu remained silent, not in a hurry, and slowly explained: "According to common sense, of course this is impossible. ” "But now the situation is different, our army galloped in the starry night, and launched a strong attack, attacking the city, but it ended in failure, and its military spirit must be affected."

"Now even you generals think that it is impossible for the enemy army to come and rob the camp, let alone ordinary sergeants."

"At this time, if the enemy army comes, then our army will not be limited to a passive situation?"

For a while, Jia Xu analyzed the pros and cons of the situation in every word, almost like a heavy blow swept into the faces of the generals, waking them up.

Immediately, Zhang Xian immediately came to his senses, because of the leading army along the way, Jia Xu's plans were all accurate and serious, and they did not fail.

At this time, Zhang Xian also chose to trust, and then ordered Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua to lead the army to inspect and pay attention to prevention.

As for the rest of the generals, they led their own troops and hid in the camp, waiting for the arrival of the enemy army.

As the saying goes: be careful to sail a ship for ten thousand years, no matter whether the enemy army comes or not, it is not a big mistake to be careful.

The time of the night is gradually passing, and soon the night will also pass the third watch, and the dawn of the people will come.

It's just that outside the camp, it's still empty, and there is no movement.

The Qi soldiers who were squatting in the middle of the night were already tired, and at this time, seeing that the enemy army had not yet come, they couldn't help but start to complain.

Even some of the generals began to complain.

Endless waiting is undoubtedly the most terrible "Stomp Pedal Pedal Just as the Qi army began to riot, there was a faint sound of noise in the dark night outside the camp.

Suddenly, the Qi soldiers who had been in turmoil just now calmed down and waited for the battle The soldiers who licked the blood at the edge of the knife all the year round have long been extremely familiar with this sound, which is the sound of a combination of foot and horse.

Obviously, the Taiping army really came to attack the camp at night as Jia Xu expected.

At this moment, the generals who were still complaining just now admired Jia Xu, and Jia Xu was indeed at a loss.

"Kuoda, Kuoda" As the movement of the enemy army became bigger and bigger, it suddenly broke through the camp of the Qi army, but when its war horse galloped, it raised a puff of smoke and dust behind it.

Immediately after, the foot soldiers of the Taiping Army followed closely behind, killing into the camp of the Qi army, rushing all the way and setting fire to it.

"Soldiers, march to Qi Ko's baggage camp and set fire to all the local grain and grass."

"In this way, as long as the Qi army loses its rations, the Qi army will be defeated" I have to say that Li Quan is indeed good at commanding the army, and knowing the gap between the two armies, he can't help but come up with the idea of burning the enemy's grain and grass.

Cause chaos first, and after a fight, the momentum of the Qi army will inevitably be unloaded.

It is conceivable that the Qi army, which has lost its grain and grass, will be defeated after a long time Under the impact, the Taiping army finally ran to the location of the Qi army's grain and grass, and immediately surrounded it.

Seeing the full military rations, Li Quan was overjoyed, slapped his horse and raised his gun, and shouted: "Hahaha, it seems that God made me achieve such a great achievement."

At this moment, Li Quan regained his fighting spirit, and what he secretly thought about at this time was the defeat of the Qi army, so that Yang Miaozhen could see himself clearly and change his mind.

"Men of the Kingdom of Heaven, Listen to the Order, Set Fire" For a moment, Li Quan was about to give the order to burn grain, but was interrupted by the voice of a cavalry sergeant.

"Tell the general, the situation is not right, there is no grain and grass in the sack."

Suddenly, this news was like a thunderbolt, which shocked Li Quan.

Immediately, Li Quan did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly beckoned the sergeant to open all the sacks to watch.

Unfortunately, the result is not optimistic, because this is not grain and grass, but the most familiar sulfur nitrate stone.

At this moment, Li Quanxin's heart sank half, and in the next second, he waved his gun and shouted: "Heavenly soldiers, retreat quickly" Things have developed to this point, Li Quan didn't know that he had been tricked, and he couldn't help but roar heartbreakingly.

However, it was too late, and suddenly, I saw a flood of feather arrows falling from the sky and straight into the baggage camp.

Not only that, but above the arrow was a bright spark, which shot into a sack full of saltpeter.

Suddenly, the fire was ignited in an instant, but at this time, countless Taiping soldiers were engulfed in the sea of fire.

At this time, Li Quan's heart was dripping blood, and it was his impulse that buried the whole army.

In turn, Li Quan was like a madly roaring lion, leading the crowd to gallop outside the camp to kill.

At this time, the rain of arrows continued, and countless Taiping soldiers fell in the sea of fire and fell under the rain of arrows.

After a rain of arrows, the generals of the Qi army, Xue Dingshan, Fan Lihua, Yang Yanzhao, Yang Zaixing, He Yuanqing and other fierce generals all led the army and slaughtered.

The soldiers of the Qi army, under the leadership of the generals, brandished butcher knives at the hurried Taiping army and slashed away.

Under a forced breakthrough, the Taiping army finally lost most of it, and Li Quan finally led the crowd to fight their way out of the encirclement.

This battle can be described as a hard-working victory, and when this battle is won, tomorrow's siege will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort Immediately, Zhang Xian walked out slowly, and ordered to extinguish the majestic fire that had ignited in the baggage camp.

Then he said softly: "The victory in this battle, our army will take Huaide City, and it will definitely be just around the corner."

"Wenhe, you have made great contributions to this battle."

At this moment, Zhang Xian completely admired Jia Xu, and his words were full of admiration.

After all, since the beginning of the campaign, without Jia Xu's staff, Zhang Xian would not have been able to achieve such great results.

Hearing this, Jia Xu said slowly: "General, in fact, there is no need for our army to attack the city at all. ” "At this time, the enemy army is defeated, and the morale of the army must be lost, and there is no need for our army to spend casualties and go to attack."

"With the use of procrastination, our army can successfully drag down the enemy."

Immediately, Zhang Xian learned of Jia Xu's words, and couldn't help asking: "Wenhe, why did you say this?"

"General, at this time, the enemy army has been defeated, and it is no longer able to fight our army out of the city, why don't our army block all the passages around Huaide?"

"As long as the main force of the Taiping Army and Yang Xiuqing is cut off, then the situation will be together, and its army will definitely collapse, and then Wang Dudu's fighter will come."

"However, the defenders of the city will definitely not see this plan take shape, and they will definitely force themselves out of the city to fight our army in a decisive battle."

"In this way, won't our army be able to easily capture Wyde?"

For a while, with Jia Xu's general plan, Zhang Xian was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground Jia Xu is indeed a last resort, and his strategy is linked one by one, which is impossible to prevent.

Obviously, as long as the enemy encounters Jia Xu's trap, then it will inevitably not be able to break free.

With the defeat of Li Quanjun, the victory of this battle began to become clear.

The great chaos of the end of the Sui Dynasty called :
