Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Nine Monthly Pass)
Shi Tuiji even asked: "What are you planning for when checking?"
With the combat effectiveness of the Qing army, one battalion of the Dragon Gun Battalion, with the support of several auxiliary troops, successively crossed the four or five battalions of the Qing army. With the situation where Chuzhou Town invested less than a thousand Qing troops, it was completely enough to invest a main infantry battalion in the direction of Xianju.
If another infantry battalion is added, the victory of the Hong Army will be completely unsurprising. But the problem now is that the Hong Army has invested all three main infantry battalions - although Nanxi Battalion left the most combat-capable infantry company and artillery to Huang (Yan) Tai (Ping)** Battalion, Shi Tuiji only has one feeling, that is, it is too exaggerated.
He even sympathized with the hundreds of Qing troops sent by Chuzhou Town. He didn't know how long they could last under the offensive of the three main infantry battalions. He was like these local brave men, and they fled in all directions when they saw the red flag of the Hongjun.
Huo Qiu agreed and could not understand that Liu Chang was mobilizing hundreds of Qing troops in such a way, but he knew that he had to obey the order first, because he specifically told Shi Tuiji: "As soon as we leave, your ** battalion has a heavy task. On this border, Qing Yao's local bravery, militia and green camp soldiers will launch a counterattack at any time. If you can't support it, you can ask the inspector for support!"
Although the three main infantry battalions were all involved in the counterattack against the Qing army in Chuzhou Town, Liu Chang still retained a large number of troops in Taiping County, including a complete teaching battalion and a large number of auxiliary troops, and could completely withdraw troops to support the battle of the ** battalion.
Shi Tuiji smiled: "I don't think it's better for our two battalions to join forces now and beat Huang Yan Qing army to make him have no courage to invade Taiping. Lao Huo, is time urgent?"
"No hurry!" Huo Qiu told him: "We have two days left to complete this big sweep!"
For the militias, local bravery and green camp guarding the winter on Huangyan, Huangyan, these two days were catastrophic days. The Red Turban Army, which had always been in control of Taiping County, actually dispatched a large number of troops to cross Taiping County, and directly entered Huangyan. They adopted the tactic of splitting and attacking the Qing army in Huangyan many times.
In these two days, at least two hundred Green Camp soldiers, local brave men, and militia were killed, injured or captured by the Red Turban Army crossing the border. This was the result of them immediately fleeing away when they saw something wrong. If they resisted on the spot, no unit would survive.
They specifically asked Huangyan Town in Huangyan County for help, but Huangyan Town's first reaction was to order these local brave men to shrink the militia to Huangyan County to increase the strength of defending the city. The general of Huangyan Town judged that the Red Turban Army would be preparing to attack Huangyan County next, and this northern offensive was the prelude to the siege.
This order caused the entire Huangyan and Taiping border defense line to collapse automatically at the first time, and also prepared for the Red Turban Army to enter Xianju.
Liu Chang gestured the direction of Xianju on the ground and told his officers: "This time, the Qing army who came to the rescue of Taizhou in Chuzhou Town, because Yongjia and Yueqing were all under the control of my Red Turban friendly forces, so they could only detour Jinyun and Xianju came to rescue. Now that they have arrived in Xianju and are about to advance towards Huangyan, our army is determined to concentrate three main infantry battalions, cross Huangyan and attack Xianju in one fell swoop, and completely annihilate them in the movement. The purpose of this battle is to completely annihilate them and never allow an enemy to escape."
The officers of the Hong Army expressed their confusion about Liu Chang's concentrating three main infantry battalions to find hundreds of reinforcements from Chuzhou Town, but they all stood upright and were waiting for Liu Chang's next order: "This raid is not aimed at occupying the town, but trying to annihilate the reinforcements from the enemy Chuzhou Town in the field. Are you confident?"
"Have a mind!" Qu Jie said this. He has always played a role in uploading and sending it: "Absolutely confident! Although we have to fight across counties, the leap forward mileage is less than a hundred miles, and our Dragon Gun Battalion can definitely play a key role."
Everyone has seen this battle clearly. The actual name is to jump from Huangyan County to Xianju County, but the actual leap mileage is not far. It just slightly passes Huangyan and then goes straight into Xianju County. Everyone is concerned about the real purpose of this battle.
The soldiers and brave men in Chuzhou Town had encountered several encounters when they were in Wenzhou. Their combat effectiveness and Wenchu Green Camp were both half a dozen, and they were severely damaged and annihilated by them many times.
Lu Ziyun, known as one of the twin clouds of Nanxi, stood up and asked: "Check, is this battle determined to destroy the enemy Chuzhou Town and provide assistance to Taizhou?"
Liu Chang nodded: "That's right, but it's not just Chuzhou Town, but Chuzhou Town and Jinhua Town!"
Everyone understood what Lu Ziyun and Liu Chang had to do.
After the main force of the Hong Army jumped into Xianju, he could enter the hinterland of Chuzhou Town to the south and the hinterland of Jinhua Town to the north, which was the most direct threat to these two military towns.
Before the threat of the Hong army entering the hinterland of its town was lifted, these two military towns would never dare to use a large number of troops to reinforce Taizhou. In this case, it would be enough for the Hong army to concentrate on dealing with Huangyan Town.
Huo Qiu, who rushed back to attend this pre-front meeting, fought for Shi Tuiji: "Check. If our army's main force attacks Xianju, the task of the ** battalion is very heavy. Shi Tuiji and Feng Sixian both said that no matter how big the task is, they will definitely complete the task and ensure that the enemy will never step into Taiping County. However, their strength is weak, so they proposed to put up the frame of Huangyan ** Company first."
Liu Chang nodded: "No problem, Huang Yan** is the unit that was originally set up. Now I'm going to put on the shelves in advance. Tell them to be more flexible and mobile. The main force will make a short-term attack this time and will return to Taiping soon. Are there any other problems?"
"No problem!"
All officers were confident about the first battle after entering Taiping County. Although it was a cross-border battle, it was just an easy battle to fight with three main infantry battalions in the field to find hundreds of enemy troops.
As for the few local brave men, militia, and green camps who may encounter along the way, they are just to solve them.
...
Wu Hongchuan felt that he was in trouble. He could have stayed at home and made a fortune, but the task of rushing to help Taizhou was spread to him.
He suspected that he had good fortune at the gambling table and accidentally won several games against the General's wife. However, Shen Guerrill was not secretly accused of getting along with the General's wife like himself. Why isn't this damn task his turn!
But no matter what, it was his turn to preside over this dangerous task. The General gave only six hundred soldiers. He and the General's wife blew several times, and barely tried to win one hundred more soldiers to come.
But is the courage of seven hundred soldiers enough? He was full of doubts. Chuzhou Town sent three waves of reinforcements to Wenzhou to 1,300 soldiers, but the 1,300 soldiers who fled back were only a hundred people, and the rest were trapped in the thief.
At that time, Wu Hongchuan thought it was a good thing, so he went to talk to the young wives who had no husbands in person. As soon as the conversation ended late at night, two of the foreign ministers had no children when they went to war. Now Wu Hongchuan has been helping them take care of their pregnant wives for several months, and made an open promise that as long as these two foreign ministers could always come back safely, regardless of whether the children were full-term or not, Wu Hongchuan could take care of their children until they were adults.
But this person was too romantic and inevitably suffered from Tianji. Wu Hongchuan cried and told several women that he was going to lead his troops to the war. The women actually had similar reactions: "General Wushen, you used such a bad excuse to tease others again. Okay, I haven't been here for a long time. Let's go tonight. You can decide the location..."
But Wu Hongchuan couldn't even sleep with women now. Before going to war, he was alone in a single dress and frozen all night.
He was all in his skills, and his ability to lead troops to fight was so loose that it was no longer possible. He usually followed the general and the deputy general to kill some small bandits and earn some small military achievements. But how could he deal with the real thief?
Moreover, he had inquired that the thieves who captured Taizhou were not the ordinary Red Turban Army, but the most brave Liu Juehu in the Red Turban Army. It is said that Liu Juehu led hundreds of Red Turban thieves to kill the corpses in front of Panshi Village, and the losses of as many as 3,000 were as high as 3,000.
What should I do? What should I do? There is an order on the peak, but I can't slow down for a day. He can only rush to Taizhou with the help of his teeth, but he can't eat well every day and can't sleep.
When was the last time I was so worried? Wu Hongchuan finally remembered that it was when Mr. Xu Qian suspected that his son was not his biological son and wanted to recognize his relatives. Wu Hongchuan had to spend all his hardships covering it up, but what should he do this time?
When he arrived at Xianju City, he would enter Huangyan County tomorrow. Wu Hongchuan was even more worried about food and food. The magistrate of Xianju knew his reputation and arranged two women for him, asking him to show his strength to not disturb the place. He rushed forward tomorrow and told everything about peace on the road. Now the Hongjun is still trapped in Taiping County.
But "everything is peaceful on the road", Wu Hongchuan thought about this sentence and felt something was wrong after thinking about it. He couldn't sleep at night, so he got up in a single dress and paced around the tent.
The mission of his reinforcement army was to insert it from behind the red thieves and cut off the connection between Liu Juehu and Wenzhou red thieves in one fell swoop. However, this task was too difficult. Wu Hongchuan suspected that he had dumplings by countless red thieves as soon as he entered Taiping County!
Taiping County, Taiping County? Everything is peaceful on the road?
Wu Hongchuan immediately understood. Fortunately, there was a woman who was a little conscientious and prepared a must-have equipment for him in marching and fighting. He breathed a long sigh of relief, hugged the suit and fell asleep.
But he was sleeping soundly, but suddenly he heard the sound of gunfire coming, and then shouted to kill the earth. A general rushed into his tent: "Master Gang, something is not good, the red thief is here to kill him!"
