Han’s Son is Not a Slave

"fire!"

Following the officer's order, hundreds of green battalion gunners swiftly swung down the torches in their hands, and the arquebus suddenly made a burning sound of "chirp". Smashed the Taiping army column in front. More than 20 guns fired in salvo, and the power was amazing. In the black smoke, many Taiping guns were vaguely seen falling to the ground.

"This cannon was good, and the Taiping bandits were scattered!"

Putting down the telescopic mirror, Hu Qili, the commander of the Qing army, was very satisfied with the effect of this round of artillery bombardment, and also swept away the haze in his heart. If the Taiping army still only focused on fleeing to Xiangshan as the previous days, I am afraid that he would really catch up with them. Fortunately, the leader of the Taiping Bandits, Xiucai, finally made a big mistake. He even assembled a queue to counter the Green Battalion. As a result, in a round of shelling, the Taiping Bandits not only lost their troops, but also the newly formed queue was broken up, creating a mess.

Without the support of such a strong city as the Xinhui, the thief Xiucai really thinks that he is an invincible player on the battlefield!

A scholar is a scholar after all, how can you really know the soldiers, you Taiping bandits have fled under my pursuit for a few days, and the morale of the army has been greatly reduced, how can you regroup and fight me head-on at this moment!

Hu Qili snorted coldly, and gave Zhou Shixiang, the leader of the Taiping Army, an ignorant evaluation.

"Brother Hu, these cannons were purchased by the Governor at a high cost from the Folang machine. Each cannon is worth several hundred taels of silver. This time, in order to encircle and suppress the Taiping bandits, the Governor has paid a lot of money. It doesn't work, but it really doesn't make sense."

Zheng Guodong has been depressed since he fled back to Guangzhou from Xinhui. Although the Governor-General did not criticize him for the fall of Xinhui, there were no shortage of people in the green camp who pointed him at the back, and even more generals under the two vassals. Blame him in every possible way, saying that if you hadn't lost the new club, would everyone have lost so much in the new club!

This really makes Zheng Guodong have nowhere to say, God knows what kind of magic the Taiping bandits used to blow up the impregnable Xinhui city wall!

Besides, if Wu Jinzhong rashly brought the main force of the Xinhui defenders to Guifeng Mountain, and the entire army was annihilated there, would the Taiping bandits easily dig tunnels outside the city?

In Xinhui, he Zheng Guodong did his best to be worthy of the Qing Dynasty. If there is any deficiency, he did not learn Su Xianting and jumped into the city to commit suicide! But at that time, didn't I want to quickly spread the news of Xinhui's fall back to Guangzhou!

Zheng Guodong's unfortunate days in Guangzhou did not come to an end until Shang Zhixin's army was defeated in Xinhui.

After the war, Li Suotai analyzed the failure of the Xinhui Battle. The first was that the Taiping army's artillery fire was too strong, and the siege troops often had to lose half of the city wall before they reached the city wall. The second is that Xinhui City was built too strong, and I can't blame anyone for this. That city was built by the Qing army itself.

Li Suotai insisted that if he wanted to retake Xinhui, he must have an artillery battalion capable of suppressing the opponent's artillery fire, otherwise it would be impossible to send more troops and horses. Fran Robot buys artillery.

After the book was approved, Li Suotai immediately sent people to get on the line with the Folang machine in Guangzhou, and sent an envoy to Macau to make a special trip, and finally ordered 120 artillery pieces from the Folang machine businessman in Macau, among which Hongyi. 25 guns.

To Li Suotai's surprise, the Flang robot could not provide so many artillery pieces at one time, but delivered 48 guns first, and the rest would have to wait for next year to arrive from their hometown in Europe. Half of the 48 guns were ordered by the Yongli court in Zhaoqing to Macau. At that time, the **** Pang Tianshou in the Yongli Palace went to Macau. As a result, the Yongli court fled to Guizhou without waiting for the delivery of the Folang machine.

The Fulang machine couldn't transport these cannons from overland to Guizhou, plus the money for the purchase of the cannons was the first payment, and the Ming army in the coastal areas of Guangdong was unable to pay the final payment for their court. So these guns were left in Macau. Li Shuitai sent people to buy cannons, and all they took was cash. The Flang machine, who was greedy for profit, naturally sold the cannons of the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty without saying a word.

After the artillery was transported from the Pearl River to Guangzhou, Li Shuitai dispatched artillerymen to form the Green Battalion's artillery team. For this reason, Shang Kexi was very unhappy, thinking that these artillery should be handed over to the soldiers under his banner, and the allocation to the Green Battalion was a waste. Li Suotai purchased the guns to strengthen the strength of the Guangdong Green Camp. If he was willing to help his surveillance target, he would naturally refuse to give it.

In addition to setting up the artillery team of the Green Battalion, Li Suotai also purchased more than 400 war horses from the north, and dispatched elite soldiers and horse bandits in Guangdong to form a horse team directly under the governor's pacesetter. The horse team is led by Zheng Guodong, who has been unlucky in Guangzhou. .

The Governor-General not only did not punish himself, but also entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, which made Zheng Guodong naturally grateful and vowed to work for the Governor-General and at the same time to be ashamed.

The news that Zengcheng had been captured by the Taiping Army reached Guangzhou, and Li Ruotai immediately went to see Shang Kexi and asked him to immediately send troops to attack the Taiping Army to retake Zengcheng, but Shang Kexi refused, believing that Guangzhou's biggest enemy now was the new Xin with 20,000 to 30,000 troops. It will meet the Ming army, not the Taiping army who rushed to Xiangshan. His troops and horses now not only have to support the Sanjiangkou line of defense, but also guard Guangzhou City. At the same time, they also have to send heavy troops in the direction of Zhaoqing. It is impossible to deploy troops to attack Zengcheng.

Shang Kexi refused so quickly. Of course Li Suotai did not agree. After repeatedly stating his interests and interests, Shang Kexi reluctantly agreed to transfer the flag soldiers of Yiniulu to assist the Green Battalion soldiers in attacking the Taiping Army.

After he came out of the Pingnan palace, Li Suotai did not go to the Jingnan palace to ask for troops. He knew that Geng Jimao couldn't send troops to him. He went to Haha Mu and persuaded the other party that he could transfer one or two real Manchu soldiers from Niu Lu to cooperate with the Green Battalion.

Hahamu didn't reject Li Suotai, but also said that Manzhou Erlang had just arrived in Guangzhou and needed to rest urgently. In addition, the Erlangs were worried about their family members who were still on the way, and it would be inappropriate to ask them to send troops before the family members were settled. However, since the Eight Banners came to Guangzhou, they wanted to guard Guangdong for the imperial court and wipe out the remnants of the Nanming Army. Therefore, he could not sit back and watch the Ming army occupy Zengcheng, so he could send a cattle record of the Eight Banners soldiers for the governor's office to dispatch.

As long as there are real Manchu soldiers participating in the war, let alone a cow, even dozens of people can be of great use.

Li Suotai thanked Haha Mu, and after returning to the Governor's Mansion, he immediately ordered the governor's pacesetter and the Guangzhou Green Battalion to send troops to Zengcheng, so as to completely wipe out the Taiping bandits who had fled to Zengcheng.

Because of Lin Jinzhong's incompetence in the battle of Xinhui, the commander of the Guangzhou Green Battalion, Li Suotai was really worried about letting him command the Green Battalion to fight, so he ordered Hu Qili to command the Qing army out of the city, and at the same time sent the newly built artillery and horse teams.

Lord Governor, this is the evil of not believing in the Taiping Army, and it has really paid for it!

Hu Qili and Zheng Guodong did their best to attack the Taiping army as soon as they arrived in Zengcheng. After two days of fighting, the Taiping army was forced to abandon Zengcheng and retreat to Xiangshan.

Hu Qili commanded the Qing army to bite hard, which led to the slow progress of the Taiping army's retreat. The two sides fought more than 30 times in four days, until the Taiping army finally gave up the retreat in Lutouhe, and formed an array to prepare for a decisive battle with the Qing army.

........

Zheng Guodong was also very happy when he saw that the Taiping army was hit hard by his own artillery, and he was even more proud to see that there were soldiers in the opposite Taiping army who were holding their heads and running away.

Hu Qili observed for a while, and said to Zheng Guodong: "The Taiping bandits have reached their limit, Guodong, you lead the horse team to force them up and drive them into the Lutou River. After this battle, I and the Governor will keep you in Guangzhou. Commander."

The current Guangzhou commander-in-chief, Lin Jinzhong, led his troops to fight against the Taiping army. He didn't want Hu Qili to give Zheng Guodong his position as commander. I don't know how Hu Qili felt when he knew.

Zheng Guodong knew that Hu Qili had a higher status than himself in Governor Li Suitaina, and his goal was not only to satisfy the current position of inspector general, but to go to Guangdong Admiral. The Guangdong Admiral is the highest military attache of the Guangdong Green Battalion. This Zheng Guodong can't imagine it, but the Guangzhou Green Battalion's general soldier is within his imagination. Although this position is not as good as the Guangdong Admiral, it is also a high weight and a lot of oil.

"Brother Hu, just wait and see!"

Inspired by his official position, Zheng Guodong unequivocally drew his sword and took the 400-horse team that Governor Li Suotai had worked so hard to put together.

"kill!"

The 400-odd Green Camp cavalry roared along with Zheng Guodong and rushed towards the Taiping troops who were fleeing in all directions.

The Taiping Army was indeed collapsing. Hundreds of people were running wildly on the ground. There were more than a hundred corpses lying on the ground, with severed limbs and arms everywhere, all of which were killed by the Qing army's Western artillery.

Zheng Guodong was determined to make great contributions to be promoted to the general soldier, and his subordinates were also encouraged by his great rewards. It was true that everyone worked hard, the saber in his hand was swung high, and his eyes were full of hideousness.

"go to hell!"

Zheng Guodong took the lead in rushing towards the Taiping Army and slashed at the back of a fleeing Taiping soldier, pulling out a long **** opening. The soldier ran forward for a dozen steps before he felt a huge pain in his back, and then the whole People lean forward. The flesh on the back has been completely opened, revealing the ribs, and it has been chopped from top to bottom.

The Taiping Army, which had been chaotic because of the shelling, could not resist the green cavalry cavalry that rushed over. Officers at all levels were shouting loudly to gather up the team and retreat.

Upon seeing this, Hu Qili ordered more than 1,000 governors and more than 2,000 green battalion soldiers on standby to press them.

Lin Jinzhong, who was fighting with the Taiping Army, saw the horse team showing their might, and the support from the rear was pressed up again. His morale was boosted, and he led more than 3,000 Green Battalion soldiers to force all the Taiping Army to retreat to the Lutou River.

Realizing that the Taiping Army had retreated to the Lutou River, Hu Qili was completely relieved. The last battle can only be used by storytellers for romance. Being in such a situation on the real battlefield is definitely the end of the entire army.

The Taiping bandits are over, but I don't know if the thief show is among these Taiping bandits, if not, there will be trouble in the future.

Hu Qili frowned, worried that the big fish was not in the net.

"General, we will definitely win this battle without the Han army flag coming up. Hey, the brothers are proud of themselves this time. When we get back to Guangzhou City, the grandsons of the Han army flag dare to ride on our heads and show their prestige!"

The person who spoke was Li Xiazi, the captain of Hu Qili's personal soldiers. The reason why he was called Li Xiazi was because his left eye was shot blind by the Ming army a few years ago, so he got this nickname.

Li Blind's skills are very hard, and he is not dead when he fights.

"When we get back to Guangzhou City, I will lead someone to wrap up the Yihong Courtyard, and invite our supervising brothers to have a good time, but let the **** from Han Junqi not enter, let's see if they dare to bully us this time!"

Everyone in the Green Camp is afraid of the people of the Han army flag, but Li Blind is not afraid. In his opinion, everyone is a head and a chicken. Why should the Green Camp treat the people of the Han army flag as ancestors. This time, our Green Camp has defeated the Taiping Army. Let's see how the Han army flags still have their prestige and prestige in front of them.

Li Blind was laughing and unintentionally glanced at the battlefield, but found that something was wrong. After a closer look, he opened his mouth and said in surprise: "Why did the horse team retreat?"

"Returned?"

Hu Qili was stunned for a moment~www.NovelMTL.com~ hurriedly picked up the telescopic mirror and looked at it, and sure enough, he saw that the horse team was really running back.

"What is Zheng Can going back to? The Taiping bandits are all cleaned up?"

Li Blind thought that Zheng Guodong had cleaned up all the Taiping Army, but he didn't want to see it, and the sound of killing by the Lutou River was still loud. 》≠miào》≠bi》≠gé》≠,

Turning his head to find that his general was staring straight at the telescopic mirror, the expression on his face was very wrong, Li Blind couldn't help but suddenly: Could it be that something has changed?

Before he could open his mouth to ask, he saw Hu Qili put down the telescopic mirror, and hurriedly shouted at the artillery team behind him: "Fire, fire!"

The gunners were all sitting on the ground to rest, and the officers of the artillery team also gathered around and said some dirty words. Suddenly, when they heard the commander-in-chief call to fire the gun, they were all startled, and looked at Hu Qili inexplicably, their eyes full of Confused: The Taiping Army has been defeated, what cannons are still fired?

Seeing that the artillery team was still stunned, Hu Qili scolded angrily: "Your mother's ears are deaf? This official told you to fire the cannon, quickly!"

"Ah...ah?...ah!"

Seeing that the general's face was wrong, the artillery officers reacted, knowing that something must have happened ahead, and shouted that their subordinates rushed to the artillery position to prepare to fire.

Before they could fire, the cannons rumbled on the battlefield over the Lutou River.
