Chapter 590: Those who are not dead are elite soldiers

"The first and second battalions rushed up and surrounded the Qing dogs, and the third battalion went to deal with the Qing dogs who were shooting archers!"

Seeing that his array was a little confused by the Qing army, Li Guoan shouted and ordered. Hearing the order, the officers and soldiers of the first and second battalions rushed forward, and surrounded the Qing army that rushed in regardless of the casualties. The soldiers of the third battalion also rushed towards the Qing army that was shooting arrows.

The first battalion soldiers were Li Guoan's old foundation, and the second battalion soldiers were Zhao Ziqiang's old foundation. One of the two battalions was better in military discipline and the other was better in murder. In fact, they were the two most capable battalions in the fifth town except for Brigade C. The soldiers in the battalion and their families also received a lot of war bonuses from the Taiping Army's previous battles, so they were all tenacious in fighting. Some soldiers did not expect to escape after the officer died in the battle, but gritted their teeth and rushed forward with spears.

The benefits they get on weekdays are not enough to make these former green camp soldiers fight to the death, but the cruel family's power in their hearts is greater than the threat of the Qing army, which makes the Ming army at a disadvantage, and the Qing army cannot expand the results in a short period of time, because these Ming army are different from those they had confronted before, and they dare not retreat at all, nor are they willing to retreat.

Not far away, when Zhao Ziqiang saw the A Brigade suffered heavy casualties under the impact of the Qing army, he felt very painful. He knew that many of the soldiers who died in battle were veterans of his many years. If it was possible, he would not let his direct line lose it. But now it is difficult to ride a tiger, and he has to fight without fighting. It is not about whether to take any casualties or not, but to fight to the death.

Zhao Ziqiang could not do it because he looked down on Guoan. If he really wanted to surrender, Zhao Ziqiang would not surrender to Guoan, which was also Han people, but would seek surrender to Manzhou people. Surrender was divided into good or bad. Can surrender to the second Tartars have face and promising to surrender to the Great Tartars?

But now, Zhao Ziqiang is willing to surrender, and the other party is afraid that he will not like him. Xing Guoan came down from Guizhou, but killed many prisoners and civilians. Zhao Ziqiang did not consider anything else, but also had to consider whether Xing Guoan would kill him too. Besides, the fifth town was defeated, and the situation in Guangxi would be as expected by Xing Guoan?

If Zhou Shixiang is not dead for a day, Zhao Ziqiang will not have the idea of ​​turning against each other for a day, because he is not afraid of anyone, but only fears Zhou Shixiang, and he will only obey Zhou Shixiang. If you don’t accept it, you, Zhao Ziqiang, can start from scratch. In two or three years, you will be able to pull out a soldier of more than 100,000 troops and have two provinces, which will make the dog emperor of the Qing court unable to rest?

"Try it, knock it down!"

Zhao Ziqiang has figured it out. Since he can't be good now, he will fight for his mother. It doesn't matter if he is defeated, but if he is defeated, it doesn't matter if he is not. What matters is whether Zhao Ziqiang can go back. He believes that even if he really loses, he will still be important to him, not for anything else, but for this loyalty.

Lu Guangzu had nothing to say. In his opinion, what are elite soldiers? Only a few of them died of one hundred soldiers, and those few were elite soldiers. The fifth town was not considered elite soldiers. At least in his opinion, except for the B Brigade trained by the Qi family army, the other two brigades were not as good as those soldiers he brought to fight Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang back then. The soldiers he brought back then were called elite soldiers by the Manzhou people. Why? It’s not because those soldiers followed him to fight with Zuo Shuai, or continued to escape with Zuo Shuai, and the soldiers who survived in the end were called elite soldiers. How could those who crawled out of the pile of dead people be called elite soldiers?

When others die, the one who survives, no matter how he survives, he is an elite soldier in the eyes of outsiders.

Lu Guangzu's concept of elite soldiers is so simple, so no matter how many people died in front of him, he would not feel sorry for him, and there was not much of his foundation on both sides. His Lu Guangzu's foundation is now under Suna, the Sixth Town. His only worry is that the Qing army's infantry brigade was coming, but the A Brigade was completely dragged down by the Qing cavalry. In the current situation, let alone quickly annihilate these Qing cavalry, even if the A Brigade is not defeated by them, the A Brigade has been exerted.

On the surface, the Qing army had the upper hand. The Ming army's array was torn apart, and the casualties were greater than those of the Qing army. However, after the initial chaos, the Ming army began a targeted counterattack, which made the Qing army unable to sprint with horsepower under the threat of their spears. Some Ming army with guns also mixed in among the Ming army with spears and swords, and fired guns at the Qing army on the horse from time to time. At such a close distance, there was no place for the Qing army to hide, and could only watch themselves be knocked down from the horse.

The longer he was trapped in the Ming army, the greater the casualties. Geng Juxian wanted to order the withdrawal several times, but when he saw his subordinates following him, he suppressed the idea of ​​retreating several times. Not far away, Qing infantrymen with torches arrived, so although the casualties were a bit serious, Geng Juxian felt a sense of accomplishment. Once the infantry came up, the Ming army, which was still in chaos, would definitely be difficult to resist, and this battle would be considered a victory. Geng Juxian is the one who has made a contribution. Not to mention a future, half of the future will definitely be able to get it.

Geng Juxian thought about his coming soon, and gritted his teeth and was fighting with the Ming army. Cao Rong was also planning his half-term future. The successive slashes made his arms a little numb, but when he thought about the half-term future that he could get immediately, Cao Rong was regained.

The Qing army's arrow branches were "swooshing" into the Ming army, and soldiers kept screaming and falling down. Because they were all holding spears and swords. When the soldiers who were caught in the arrow fell down, the soldiers around them had to be careful to avoid their companions' bodies and weapons, otherwise they would easily be injured by accident. In this way, the line, which was not very neat, became even more scattered. Fortunately, there were only three or four hundred Qing troops who rushed in, and Li Guoan had more than two thousand people in three battalions. Therefore, although the situation was chaotic, it was impossible for the Qing army to collapse the Ming army.

With the joint efforts of the two battalions of Taiping Army, the Qing army that rushed in was gradually compressed, and there were spears everywhere. The Qing army rushed left and right and could not tear the Ming army's cracks even larger for a while, but it was difficult for the Ming army to completely eliminate these Qing cavalry.

Li Guoan realized that the Qing army was more dangerous than the Qing army rushing over, so he took the brigade guards and rushed forward with the third battalion. Seeing that the Ming army was divided into several strands, one was rushing towards them. The Qing army was immediately turned over and roaring and urged the horse, pulled out the long sword and sword, and rushed straight towards the Ming army. Although the soldiers of the third battalion were in chaos, they saw the brigade school masters moving forward with them. Although they were already panicked, they still gritted their teeth and followed the yard with big strides.

Li Guoan was already hit by two arrows, but he was wearing iron armor. These two arrows could not cause any harm to him. The Qing army also saw Li Guoan and knew that he was the commander of the Ming army. So several Qing army aimed at Li Guoan. However, their big arrows could not cause any damage to the iron armor on Li Guoan. At most, it would be a dent. As long as Li Guoan raised his arm to cover the arrows in front of the door, there would be no problem with those arrows shot towards the door. Besides, dozens of personal guards guarded him, and the probability of Li Guoan being shot was also very small.

The hundreds of archers on the horse were eager to break through the Ming army's interception, and the Ming army in front was determined to intercept them under the leadership of its chief general. Neither side was willing to retreat and rushed straight up. Seeing the Qing cavalry running, Li Guoan wanted to rush out with his spear, but he kept suppressing his emotions and reminded himself to maintain formation. Only organized infantry can resist the impact of the cavalry, so he resisted the impulse and pressed the speed with the officers around him, so that the soldiers following could maintain formation.

While walking, Li Guoan loudly reminded his subordinates to walk according to the rhythm of the suona and not to be messed up. The soldiers who were responsible for the team's speed and rhythm of the suona insisted on their tasks. The suona sounded rhythmically. A suona soldier was shot and killed, and soon a second suona soldier continued to blow the suona in his hand. The soldiers moved forward according to the sound of the suona. Many spear soldiers and sword soldiers, and shield soldiers stood in the same row. Looking from a distance, the weapons of the third battalion were uneven, but the deterrent power brought by the neat formation still made the Qing army feel a little numb.

When the Qing cavalry fought with the Ming army, more and more Qing army infantry arrived. The first ones were led by the Han army commander Tong Zhengliang and Guilin general Xu Tianyou, who were about 4,000 people. After discovering that Geng Juxian's cavalry had caused chaos in the Ming army, Tong Zhengliang and Xu Tianyou both smiled. They could not deal with the Qi family army holding monster weapons. Could it be that they could not deal with the thousands of ordinary Ming troops opposite?

After the Qing army infantry came up, Zhao Ziqiang immediately ordered Hu Mingyi, who had already adjusted the queue, to lead the B Brigade B to face the blocking. After thousands of Qing army infantry joined the battlefield, the fifth town was immediately in a hurry. If Lu Guangzu had not personally led the town guard cavalry team to catch Tong Zhengliang's troops off guard from the flank, he would have been afraid that the B Brigade B defense line would have been broken.

The arrival of the infantry greatly boosted the morale of the remaining Qing cavalry, but the Arctic Brigade, which was red-eyed, dragged them tightly and prevented them from withdrawing. The commander-in-chief of the Qing army, Quan Jie, also arrived with his troops from his troops and the surrendered army general Lu Sanxiang and others. At this moment, the sky was extremely dark, and it was impossible to say that he could not see five fingers. On the battlefield in the distance, he saw the light of fire, but he could not see clearly what the situation was. Is it the Ming army that had the upper hand or the Qing army that had the upper hand.

In the dark night, if there were still soldiers and horses in the Ming army lurking, Quanjie did not dare to order the entire army to attack easily, and sent orders to let the artillery team behind quickly. Lu Sanxiang, the general of the surrendered army, was concerned about the battle situation, but she couldn't see clearly, so she relied on the horse's skills and stood on two war horses together, like a juggling actor. The skin-pocketed helmet on his head had been taken off, revealing the bald head that had just been picked, and the hair was the size of a piece of hair on the back of his head, and a slender braid hung there.

"Don't worry, Lu Zhen, the Ming army can't hold on for long. When the artillery team comes up, they will definitely be defeated."

"You have to be careful, be careful to sail the ten thousand-year-old ship. During the day, the Ming army has succeeded several times. Now we have been bound by us. We must be more careful and wait for the artillery team to come and be safer."

The whole festival has a hundred times confidence in the development of the war. At this time, the Ming army has other reinforcements, but they did not move either, so they were not worried about any changes in the war. The only thing that could be worrying is that if the Ming army retreated in the dark, they would inevitably let them run away. He thought that the Ming army that defeated Xu Tianyou and the others during the day was also among them, so he was in a good mood.

Lu Sanxiang smiled, sat down from the horse, and then said in a complimentary manner: "With the whole town personally commanded, the Taiping gang will definitely not be able to stop it. Not to mention the Ming army during the day, even if the thief scholar brought people to him, he would be defeated in disgrace."

Quanjie smiled and knew that Lu Sanxiang was just talking nonsense. He was about to instruct the artillery team behind to move faster, but there was a shocking shout of killing from Yumeng Mountain not far from the left.

Where did the Ming army come from behind?

Quanjie and Lu Sanxiang turned around at the same time, but when they saw this, they were shocked to take a breath of air conditioning. In their eyes, they saw countless torches rushing from the forest to the foot of the mountain on Yumeng Mountain, which had already searched for no ambush.

"not good!"
