Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Zhou Shixiang didn't ridicule Xu Yingyuan, but he really felt that he was very wise and bold, and dared to ambush here at Lutouhe again.

After learning that Guangzhou had sent Ta Yinbu, a ginseng general of the Eight Banners, to lead 5 Niulu and more than 1,500 Qing troops to detour to the rolling stone **** behind Lingshan, Zhou Shixiang was surprised, but he was not so scared that he immediately led his troops to retreat in a hurry. Touhe, the only way the Qing army must pass, was the decision to set up an ambush again.

This is a very bold decision, and it is also an extremely fatal decision. If the ambush is successful again, it will be able to annihilate the 2 Niu Lu of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the 3 annual records of the Han Army Banner, which may seriously damage the vitality of the Qing army in Guangzhou!

They must be wiped out!

Zhou Shixiang was cruel. He didn't dare to fight in Guangzhou City, and he didn't have the ability to fight, but he was able to fight the Qing army who eliminated these 5 Niu Lu. Cutting down is like cutting down a tree, the branches of the green camp have to be cut down, and the roots of the tree that come to the door are also cut down!

Because they had to rush to the Lutou River to set up an ambush before the Qing army, the artillery team that was inconvenient to move stayed in Lingshan Town, and together with the first army camp and two brigades of the infantry right camp reinforced from Liangzi Township, they acted as Taiping. The main force of the army stayed in the town and continued to confuse the Qing army in person.

Zhou Shixiang led the 2 brigade of infantry from the left battalion of the infantry, plus the 2 brigade of gunmen from the right battalion of the infantry army, 2 guards of the personal battalion, and the rest of the cavalry battalion Xingye rushed to Lutouhe, and gathered some new soldiers on the way. Most of the horses were battalions and regiments scattered in various places to raise food for the Taiping army to conquer, and there were even hundreds of bandits. Of course, these bandits themselves would not call themselves bandits, they only said they were anti-Qing righteous divisions.

No matter whether you are a bandit or a righteous teacher, Zhou Shixiang will bring them all with him. He is in urgent need of troops. Even if these people are unbearable, he should wave the flag with the guy and shout to the assembly.

Without the artillery team, they could not use the previous shelling circle to kill the Qing army. In addition, it rained for several days in the upper reaches of the Lutou River, which caused the river to swell. The Taiping army could no longer stack the dam upstream to lower the water level as last time. In this way, the soldiers and horses set up in an ambush on the south bank can wade through the river to kill the Qing army.

Furthermore, the north bank of the Lutou River is too wide, which is conducive to the movement of the Qing army's cavalry. There is even a possibility of inflicting heavy losses on the Taiping Army in turn.

In the end, Zhou Shixiang chose to set up a series of ambushes on both sides of the three-mile-long official road in the Lutou River. Shao Jiugong led the new soldiers, plus gunmen and a guard to act as bait in the woods on the north bank of the Lutou River. Their task was to let the Qing army. Discover their existence, thereby attracting the Qing army to the past. It made the front and rear queues elongated, and then the left and right battalions of the infantry who were hiding in the north of Shao Jiugong's department rushed out from both sides of the official road.

Shao Jiugong was very embarrassed to receive this task. He asked Zhou Shixiang what if the Qing army did not find them. Zhou Shixiang's answer was: "Then you can go out by yourself."

Zhou Shixiang asked the infantry left camp to dig up hundreds of sacks of soil and hide them in the forest. After the Qing army passed, they piled the sacks on the official road, so that the Qing army's retreat would be blocked, and the encirclement would completely become a Dead circle, unless the Qing army can fly, they can only be passively beaten in this small space.

In order to make Shao Jiugong's department behave more like an ambush, Zhou Shixiang even let the cavalry battalion act as a lure for the enemy, and he also made a lot of money. Prepare for the annihilation of the entire battalion.

As for the hundreds of new enlisted soldiers, Zhou Shixiang did not talk nonsense with them, and directly made people move the dozen boxes of silver that had been seized recently to them, and told them clearly what role they played, and if they were willing to take the silver, If you don't want to, get out of here immediately. As long as they can survive after the war, they will be the real Taiping army in the future, and they will not be held accountable for what happened in the past.

Qin Zhisheng and the others were puzzled by Zhou Shixiang's practice, and thought that they should not tell these new soldiers that they were acting as bait. Otherwise, after the exchange of fire with the Qing army, 80% of these people will not give their lives, and will only want to run back.

In this regard, Zhou Shixiang's answer is that these new soldiers are not fools. They know how to do it, and they have no other choice. When the money is laid out, the outcome of willingness and unwillingness is already predetermined. It's definitely fine if you want, but if you don't, you'll be let go!

It doesn't matter if they run backwards, all Zhou Shixiang wants is for them to run backwards. The more panicked they ran, the better, anyway, they couldn't swim across the Lutou River, and when the Taiping army actually set up an ambush, these people would know what they were going to do.

Those who know current affairs are Junjie, and those who are smart are also Junjie. When they saw that the Qing army had been successfully introduced into the ambush circle, the new enlisted soldiers would definitely have made meritorious deeds instead of continuing to flee.

The truth of beating down the drowning dog is understood by the individual.

Besides, it is not just bragging by the ancients that if you sacrifice your life for the righteousness of the world, there will be a brave man under the heavy reward.

As a result, hundreds of new enlisted soldiers came forward to get the money one after another, and then each proudly shouted that they wanted to serve the Ming Dynasty and the Taiping Army.

Not bad, at least after Shao Jiugong and the others fought against the Han army, the performance of those new soldiers did not disappoint Zhou Shixiang.

The real battle started soon. Gangta'a led the Manchu soldiers to chase them forward for less than a mile. There were thunderous shouts of killing on both sides of the official road. Countless Taiping troops rushed out of the forest on both sides, as dense as The sound of fried beans made people's ears go numb.

The gunmen of the Taiping Army did not shoot at the gunmen from Shangguandao and the Han army flags at all, but formed a team to hide in the forest in different areas and shoot those Han troops who were like living targets.

The sudden attack made the Han troops who were chasing and fleeing the Taiping army bewildered. Because they were eager to kill the enemy and get the first-level meritorious service, more than a thousand Han troops took the lead.

As soon as the gun sounded, the Han army was shot down at least 200 on the spot. The rest held the fire gun or stared at the sides in a daze, or lay on the ground, or randomly placed a gun against the forest, It seemed that the roar would bring him safety.

"It's hit, it's hit!"

Wang Shude was so frightened that he lay on the ground among the bodies of the two flag soldiers, crying and mourning.

"Go back, go back!"

Du Lide chased and killed at the front, and his performance was much better than Wang Shude. When he didn't see it well, he ordered his subordinates to quickly retreat with him.

The guns and arrows in the forest on both sides were shot from time to time, although the hit rate of the guns was not high, but they were everywhere, and not many who were still standing on the official road were spared.

The Han army, who had recovered, immediately fired back, but the gunmen of the Taiping army hid in the woods.

Xiang Guoqing is the most embarrassed right now. He regrets not listening to the advice of his subordinates. Now he can only lie on the ground to avoid the guns of the Taiping Army. Looking around, at least one third of the more than 400 Han troops under his command were lost, and none of the rest dared to stand there, all holding guns and burying their faces on the ground.

it's over

The flag soldiers under his command behaved like this, and Xiang Guoqing knew that the battle was lost.

After the sound of the guns suddenly sounded from the front, Tayinbu knew the plan. Seeing that the Han army was pressed on the official road by the fire guns of the Taiping Army, he could not move. In a hurry, he turned his horse and retreated.

But as soon as the horse's head turned around, there were gunshots in the woods on both sides, and there was a "bang, bang" sound, and a dozen Manchu soldiers on the roadside fell off their horses before they understood what was going on.

Tayinbu instinctively lowered his body to avoid the guns, but he saw hundreds of Taiping troops appearing in front of him. These Taiping soldiers were all carrying sacks. What are they doing, I saw those Taiping troops piled the sacks on their backs on the official road. After ten breaths, a wall as high as one person appeared in front of Tayinbu.

South barbarians are so nasty!

Tayinbu twitched, and he didn't even need to look at him to know that the Taiping Army was building a wall. The official road is narrow, and once the mud wall is completed, the retreat will be cut off, unless the Qing army can rush through the woods on both sides, but that is impossible, which means that the Manchu soldiers must leave their horses alone. Run back, otherwise it is impossible to pass the horse in the woods.

After the Taiping troops piled up the mud wall, they hid behind the wall one by one and stretched out their spears, apparently to prevent the Qing army from coming to push the wall.

The three-mile-long official road was full of gunshots, and white smoke filled the air. The Han army was suppressed on the official road and still could not move. It was already incapacitated, and no one could stand up and command the Han army.

Du Lide tried to lead his subordinates to rush down the official road and into the forest, but in the forest, in addition to the Taiping troops who were shooting guns, there were also some Taiping troops who were armed with knives and spears, and they couldn't rush in at all. After two failed attempts in a row, Du Sedde reluctantly returned to the official road, lying on his stomach and waiting for the Manchu soldiers to come and rescue him~www.NovelMTL.com~ However, lying on his stomach is not safe, and the gun can be avoided. , but the defeated Taiping soldiers who had been chased and killed by them turned around and killed them again, forcing Du Ledde to ignore the danger of guns and run all the way to the north to the National Day.

Seeing Du Sedde leading people to run towards him, his face turned green towards the National Day. The eldest brother will not care about the second brother, each family will protect their own lives. It doesn't matter if Du Singtai runs away, but don't lead the Taiping bandits. come to me!

Shao Chenggong is now full of revenge. When he attacked the Han army flag earlier, nearly half of his men were killed or injured. How could he be worthy of these dead brothers by cutting down a few more demons.

Nanbanzi is too cunning!

The Manchu soldiers, who see themselves as invincible, are also feeling aggrieved by the uselessness of heroes. They want to beat the horses to kill the Taiping army, but the Taiping army only hides in the woods on both sides and does not come out at all, so that they do not know what it is now To run or to fight.

Gangta'a's flag soldiers were shot and killed by the Taiping Army, and the rest of them rushed forward under his leadership, found that the Han army in front had blocked the road, and then ran back, only to find the road behind He was also blocked, so he had no choice but to run back and forth like this, so tired that the horse was panting. They have no other way, otherwise they can only be shot by the Taiping Army as a living target. To be continued. Mobile users please visit
