Han’s Son is Not a Slave

In Daliang Town, hundreds of Taiping troops carrying fire guns and spears confronted the Qing troops in the town.

The Taiping Army arrived in Daliang Town in the morning, and found that there were many Qing troops and regiments stationed in the town, and after building a fortress that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, Huang Si of the Baihu, the second brigade of the Right Battalion, the third guard of the leading infantry army, ordered not to. When attacking, send someone to the brigade commander to report the news, and ask the brigade commander to ask the artillery team to support, so that the subordinates can be prevented from being too heavy casualties when they attack the fortress.

While waiting for the artillery team, Huang Si was not idle. He sent people to circle around the town and identified two entrances. As soon as the artillery team came, they would launch an attack. They must have lunch in the town.

There are more than 300 Qing troops in the town, and there are more than 500 young and strong people from the Daliang Town Regiment mobilized by the Qing army. The leader was Hu Mingyi, General Manager of the Foreign Affairs Committee of Guangdong Green Camp in Daliang Town. This person is the cousin of Hu Qili, the superintendent and counselor. The day before yesterday, he sent an urgent report to Guangzhou that the Taiping Army was pressing into Daliang. Today, the Taiping Army is here.

After discovering that the Taiping Army had appeared outside the town, Hu Mingyi had been frowning on the fortress. His uncle led so many battalions that the Taiping Army had been defeated. How could he dare to fight the Taiping Army with such a small amount of manpower. It's not that he didn't think about running, but the Taiping army moved too fast. As soon as they entered Panyu, they divided their troops to loot and blocked several important roads, making him unable to run even if he wanted to, so he could only be trapped in Daliang Town for help .

The more than 300 battalion soldiers under Hu Mingyi are mostly new recruits who have just entered the battalion. The battalion and soldiers are like this, and the young and strong regiments who have just been pulled up are even more afraid. If the Qing army and the gentry told them that once the Taiping army broke through the town, they would not be left behind, how would they have the courage to carry it here. Confronting the Taiping with a hoe.

Hu Mingyi was too busy to take care of himself or to cheer for these useless subordinates. He led two personal soldiers up the fort and looked around. After finding that the Taiping Army had blocked both ways out of the town, he was completely determined to break out of the encirclement. , just lying on the floor upstairs looking north, looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements from Guangzhou.

"President Hu Qian, President Hu Qian!"

There was a screeching cry from downstairs. Then someone "dengdengdeng" went up the stairs. Hu Mingyi glanced at the person who came, then turned around and ignored him.

The visitor is the only Wanjia steward in Daliang Town who is an official outside the office. Wan Li, his master, is a left-sufficiency political officer in Hubei's political envoy, specializing in military affairs and people's affairs. He is a senior official from the third rank, so the Wanjia has a high status in Daliang Town and has a great influence. Before the Taiping army came, it was Wan Li's younger brother, Wan Guo, who came forward to organize the young men in the town to form a regiment to assist the Qing army in defending the village.

However, Hu Mingyi was not very polite to the Wan family. Can Zuo Shenzheng, who is far away in Hubei, still manage his head, plus that Wanguo usually relies on his elder brother to be a high-ranking official from the court, so he really despises Hu Mingyi, who was born in Qiu Ba, and the relationship between the two has always been inseparable. So harmonious.

After Wan Li organized the youth team in the town to train and defend the defense, he always pointed at the defense of Daliang Town. He wished he could replace Hu Mingyi and personally command the Daliang garrison. If he could repel the Taiping Army, he would be able to get an official even if Wan Li said nothing. do do. As a result, Hu Mingyi became even more incompatible with Wan Li.

Wang Guoan knew of the conflict between his second master and this foreign commissioner, although he had the heart to persuade him to make peace. After all, at the moment the enemy needs to work together internally, but the second master does not listen to his advice, and Hu Mingyi ignores him, which makes it very difficult for him to be caught in the middle.

It's not a good deal, but it's not a good deal. The second master asked him to ask him a question, and Wang Guoan could only step forward and smiled at Hu Mingyi: "Master Hu, my second master asked me to ask you, should we take advantage of the Taiping bandit? The soldiers and horses don’t have to rush out to kill them first, and kill their arrogance fiercely. Let these thieves know that our Daliang Town is not so easy to mess with?”

Hearing this, Hu Mingyi sneered and said to Wang Guoan, "Go and tell your second master, if he thinks Taiping bandits are easy to fight, then he will lead someone to fight, this official will not accompany him."

"This"

Wang Guoan sneered, Hu Mingyi's battalion did not go out to fight, what use could these young men do.

"My second master doesn't necessarily want to defeat the thieves. I just feel that letting the thieves set up camp outside the town is a bit detrimental to the morale of our army. That's what I want."

Before Wang Guoan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Hu Mingyi, "It's the same sentence, if Wanguo wants to go out, he will go by himself, don't drag Lao Tzu to death. Hmph, it's easy for him to be bullied when he is a thief, but a thief treats us as easy to bully. A scumbag who doesn't know anything about **** knows what to do, nonsense!"

After he finished speaking, he patted his **** and led his personal soldiers down the fort. He threw Wang Guoan there and sighed, not knowing how to answer the second master.

"Brother Huang, the Qing Yao in Lingshan Town seems to have been frightened by us. Hey, these dog Qing Yao know how to bully the soft and be afraid of the hard. It's not a big deal to have a mother's nest in the town, come out and fight us if you have the ability. My brothers all have itchy hands, I can't wait to rush out now and drag out those gouqing demons. I said, Brother Huang, how long do we have to wait?"

Fan Tongqing, the general banner of the left battalion, who was ordered to lead his own team of spearmen to cooperate with the infantry's right battalion gunmen, walked to Huang Si humming a ditty. , He was promoted from the small banner to the general banner, and the soldiers under his control also changed from the original 10 to 50.

Huang Si glanced at Fan Tongqing and laughed. When he was a clerk in Xinhui County, he knew Fan Si, a guy who ran from the countryside to Xinhui City to get a house for nothing. Later, the Taiping Army occupied Xinhui. In Huicheng, he and Fan Si were conscripted by the Taiping Army as servants to repair the city wall. The fate was great, and neither of them died of exhaustion. Later, the Taiping army was short of men and they were recruited into the army, but it was still fatal. After a few months, not only did the two of them die, but one of them became a member of the right battalion of the infantry army. There are hundreds of guards, and one of them became the general banner of the left or the infantry army, which is really embarrassing.

"What are you in a hurry for~www.NovelMTL.com~ Don't think that you underestimate this Daliang Town, although the Qing Yao in it is not a hit, but it is not so easy for us to seize the fortress, we don't lose dozens of them. I'm afraid I won't be able to take a life."

Huang Si said and looked up at the town. The Qing army in the town was not moving at all. Except for the occasional person in the fort who looked out to take a look, there was no one alive. Above the town, not even a single bird could be seen, and it was so quiet that not a single sound could be heard.

"Wait for the artillery team to come, fire a few shots, and see if they dare to hide." Huang Sida couldn't look down on the Qing army in the town. If he didn't want to suffer too many casualties, he had ordered a storm .

Fan Tongqing reminded him: "Brother Huang, the task we received is to quickly occupy Daliang Town. If this is delayed for a long time, will there be a change? Ge Yingshuai said, the Qing Yao in Guangzhou City is coming soon. Now, if we don't vacate Daliang Town before them, aren't we in vain?"

Huang Si chuckled: "How can it come in vain? Don't worry, the Qing Yao in Guangzhou can't reach us, the military commander has already led the brigade forward, and this is left for us to start with, the military commander said, We came here this time to grab food, so not only do we have to take Daliang Town, but we also have to evacuate this town, and not leave a grain of food for Qing Yao!" To be continued.
