Chapter 331: Battle of Honor (please vote for monthly votes)

This is the first time that Zhu Dun has taken on such an important position. In the past, Qu Jie has always been considered a mean person, but under his leadership, the Dragon Spear Brigade has always been smooth sailing and has never had a big leak.

But he had only acted as a brigade commander for a few days, and two of them had already been released, but in fact they were three! This time, this raid on the periphery, hundreds of Qing troops successfully broke through under the combined attack of the Dragon Gun Brigade, and almost no loss of troops. It was just that Zhu Dun did not report this matter.

Not only was Zhu Dun dissatisfied, but even the officers of the Dragon Gun Brigade whispered to the command of the acting brigade commander. Some people even said strange words: "Both times were the problems of the Second Battalion. Yanzhou is the Second Battalion of the Teaching Regiment, and Quzhou is the Second Battalion of the First Battalion. Brigade Commander, you have to keep the Second Battalion as a reserve team!"

But the next moment, Zhu Dun had made up his mind and said, "I will be responsible for all command responsibilities. Now we have no room for retreat! Yanzhou is under the Nanxi Brigade, and we will annihilate all Deng Shaoliang's troops. If we can't take them down, we can only let the King of Wings come down to attack Quzhou City!"

"Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? This is not possible!" An officer shouted: "When did our Dragon Gun Brigade lose people?"

"Yes! The Dragon Gun Brigade cannot lose such a big person. Our Hong Army, besides the Dragon Gun Brigade, only tens of thousands of new recruits!"

"When it's critical, we must see our Dragon Gun Brigade!"

"Okay! Zhu Dun, you come to our regiment to fight the formation, and I go to the camp to fight the formation! If we don't take down Quzhou City, our Dragon Spear Brigade will not retreat!"

Zhu Dun also said: "No matter how many troops Deng Shaoliang has in the city or how tightly deployed it, this Quzhou belongs to our Dragon Gun Brigade!"

"I can't take the city of Quzhou. I'll ask for a test to kill my head, but I'll also kill your regiment commander. The regiment commander must raise the battalion commander's head..."

This was definitely a decision. All the officers stood up and shouted with passion: "My Dragon Spear Brigade is invincible in the battle. It's no problem for me to be a Deng Shaoliang!"

Frustration makes them more and more courageous!

...

On the side of Nanxi brigade, there was a different scene. Zhou Xiuying rushed over with several riders and riders. The entire Nanxi brigade had already welcomed her with military salutes and applause.

"Xiao Mei?" Zhou Xiuying saw Bao Meiying at the first time: "How was the fight?"

Huo Qiu had already urged him to come immediately: "On behalf of the entire Nanxi Brigade, I want to ask Commander Zhou and the Procuratorate for the reunion of Deputy Company Commander Bao. In this battle, the cavalry regiment was the first in combat, and made the first contribution to our army's total annihilation of 6,000 Li Yuandu Anyue Army!"

One of them is "first in military achievements" and the other "made the first contribution", which made Zhou Xiuying's face look happy. She patted Bao Meiying on the shoulder: "I'm not the right person, it's very good!"

Bao Meiying had tears in her eyes, but she didn't know how to say it. Zhou Xiuying had already said over there: "Do not worry about the punishment camp, Bao was wrapped in me. This time he performed very well. Brigade Commander Huo really annihilated Li Yuandu's An Yue army?"

Huo Qiu said happily: "That's right, this is absolutely true news!"

"During the reconnaissance, Deputy Company Commander Zhou discovered that the enemy Li Yuandu Anyue army was in a hurry to go, with no fortifications, and the alert was extremely relaxed. After obtaining this information, I seized the opportunity to launch an attack. After an hour and a half of fighting, all 6,000 enemy Li Yuandu Anyue army were wiped out. Except for dozens of people including Li Yuandu and escaped, the rest of the enemy were annihilated!"

In fact, Li Yuandu's An Yue army still fled a lot. Even though the Hong army joined the cavalry company and joined the pursuit, the fleeing of thousands of people was not so easy to intercept. But even so, Huo Qiu and the officers of Nanxi Brigade were extremely satisfied.

This is the most glorious battle in the history of Nanxi Travel Battle!

In the entire battle, there were less than 80 casualties in Nanxi Brigade, and the captive Qing army reached more than 4,000, with countless weapons and baggage. Zhou Xiuying immediately asked a key question: "How is the morale of the troops? Can we still fight?"

Yun Tianzong answered first: "If the Dragon Gun Brigade needs our support, our entire brigade can immediately enter the battle!"

Strictly speaking, there are many people guarding prisoners now, with 4,000 Qing troops captured, exceeding the number of the Dragon Gun Brigade's participating troops. The Nanxi Brigade has at most invested in a strengthening regiment, but the officers raised their heads to respond to Yun Tianzong: "The entire brigade can be put into battle immediately!"

"Where is the Dragon Gun Brigade that needs support, we can go there immediately!"

"Don't worry, Captain Zhou! We have less than 50 casualties in this battle, and the soldiers still think this battle is too easy!"

Zhou Xiuying nodded: "There has been a major change in Yanzhou. The second battalion of the Second Regiment of the Dragon Gun Brigade was seriously frustrated. He has withdrawn from Fucheng Jiande and retreated to Shouchang County. There are less than 300 people who have maintained combat effectiveness. The situation is very critical. In view of this, the inspection center asked me to come and announce the order!"

"Nanxi Brigade immediately attacks towards Yanzhou!" Zhou Xiuying said: "If the second brigade has insufficient strength, the Yanqu battle will be immediately interrupted. Are you confident?"

"Yes!" The officers of Nanxi Brigade shouted loudly, and some officers shouted: "Go to Yanzhou, we will go to Yanzhou immediately. You can do not have captives and supplies, but we must catch up with this Yanzhou battle!"

Some officers simply cried out, and the people next to them advised: "Why are you crying? This is a good thing!"

But the tears on his face couldn't stop flowing out, everyone hugged and made a fuss, and the whole scene was chaotic and full of passion.

Although it is also the fist force of the Hongjun, the Nanxi Brigade has been different from the Dragon Gun Brigade since its establishment. However, the Dragon Gun Brigade, as the No. 1 main force of the Hongjun, always walks in front of the Nanxi Brigade.

That’s right! In any aspect, the Dragon Gun Brigade is the best and most perfect, and when it comes to Nanxi Brigade, they often have only the impression of being a thousand-year-old second.

The cadres of Nanxi Travel have long been angry in their hearts. This is not a gloating, but rather they want to conquer everyone with a perfect performance!

Now is a god-given opportunity. Huo Qiu has already said: "Okay! Commander Zhou, our brigade will set off soon. Please rest assured. Nanxi brigade is reliable at any time. We have taken over the battle in Yanzhou!"

"We have it! We will definitely wipe out the enemies over there!"

"Zhang Yuliang, right? He is an old opponent, and his defeated general is not worth mentioning!"

Zhou Xiuying said, "The purpose of checking is to let you stop it on the front line of Shouchang!"

"No!" Yun Tianzong had already said: "The mission of this brigade is to cleanly and completely annihilate the enemy troops invading Yanzhou Prefecture, and restore the entire Yanzhou area in the shortest time!"

"But you only have one Nanxi regiment, and the Niudao regiment is still in Chuzhou!" Zhou Xiuying immediately said, "You don't have enough troops!"

"The Third Infantry Regiment is enough!" Yun Tianzong promised his infantry regiment: "We are Nanxi Regiment!"

The cadres of Nanxi Brigade were also eager to fight: "No matter how many Qing Yao came, whether it was Hu Xingren or Zhang Yuliang, they would be our defeated generals!"

Zhou Xiuying discovered for the first time that these cadres of Nanxi brigade had the same pride as those of the Dragon Gun brigade, but in the past, their pride was well concealed.

"Okay!" Zhou Xiuying had already said: "The aftermath of the battlefield here, and the prisoners were all taken over to me. Our regiment just had an infantry battalion, so we were responsible for it. You should dispatch the most troops as much as possible and let me see your honor and victory!"

"I will hand over the captives, weapons and supplies to you intact!" Zhou Xiuying continued: "Let's embark on the journey, the warriors of Nanxi brigade."

The entire battle has become a battle of honor between the Dragon Gun Brigade and the Nanxi Brigade.

...

"It's indeed a red thief, it's indeed a red thief!"

Although Jiande, the Yanzhou Prefecture, Hu Xingren was already shocked by the combat effectiveness of the Hong Army. There were only a few hundred people in the Hong Army participating in the battle, but they fought so tenaciously throughout the battle. Whether it was their weapons, combat effectiveness or other aspects, they left a deep impression on the new Zhejiang governor.

Other troops did not know about the casualties. His Renzi Fifth Battalion alone suffered more than 400 casualties, and Zhang Yuliang's losses would never be small. Even so, the Hong Army finally successfully withdrew from Jiande County with most of the wounded and heavy weapons.

No wonder this red thief has risen for less than a year but has won most of Zhejiang Province. Such combat power is definitely impressive.

He even lost a lot of confidence in the two sworn brothers Deng Shaoliang and Li Yuandu who were rescued in Quzhou Prefecture. He was so capable of fighting just one infantry battalion. There were at least seven or eight infantry battalions of the Hong Army in Quzhou Prefecture. Will his Ren-word Fourth Battalion become a meat bun to beat a dog?

Zhang Yuliang had already walked in with a covered in Zhengchen: "Fanshi, when will he go south?"

"Go south?" Hu Xingren hesitated for a moment: "Go south..."

Originally, when the Jiande County was captured, we should have made a concerted effort to take Shouchang County directly, and then we could enter Quzhou Prefecture. However, the Qing army was the Qing army after all, especially the fifth battalion of Renzi, which suffered more than 400 casualties. Normally, we had to go on to reorganize the troops. Fortunately, this time Hu Xingren took them to rescue Deng Shaoliang and Li Yuandu and other fellow villagers in Hunan, so their morale was pretty good.

As for the Green Camp soldiers who came with him, Tu Yong was even more scared by such fierce battles. They only played the role of shaking flags and shouting on the battlefield. Several times, hundreds of Qing soldiers were beaten by one or two squads of rainbow troops.

In this case, Hu Xingren really didn't have the courage to go south, while Zhang Yuliang continued: "The thieves who retreated to Shouchang had only two or three hundred troops, and they were defeated. If we go south with the momentum, we can wipe out all the defeated generals under our command. Moreover, we also seized two foreign cannons of the Red thief and could take them to attack the city together."

Should I go south? Hu Xingren hesitated about this question very much. When he set off, he kept rescuing the two sworn brothers Deng Shaoliang and Li Yuandu. At that time, he was also in a conflict of heroism!

But now that he has understood the true combat power of the Red Thief, he cannot make up his mind to go south!
