Han’s Son is Not a Slave

In Guangxi, the fifth town of the Taiping Army was ordered to attack Guilin, the capital of Guangxi, by land.

On the 7th, Hu Mingyi, the former Xin'an Qianhu Hu Mingyi, led his troops from Wuzhou Fumen Station, passed through Longjiang and Zhaotan Stations, and occupied Yong'an Prefecture City, where the defenders had abandoned the city and fled. On the ninth day, the town general Zhao Ziqiang led the town guards together with Brigade B and Brigade C to reach Yong'an Prefecture City, and then the whole town went west to Guilin, and successively captured Pingle, Gongcheng, Yangshuo and other cities. Along the way, the Qing army fled, and none of them dared to fight the Taiping army.

On the 14th, Chen Wei, the governor of Guangxi in the Qing Dynasty, listened to a report from a horse and reported that the Taiping army had a lone army of about 2,000 soldiers rushed into Dongjiang Station, which was only four or ten miles away from the Fucheng. The Daoist Wang Yanbin, Cangwu's Daoist Guard Chen Hongye, and Cangwu's Patrol Dao Li Bensheng, who had fled from Wuzhou, and others led their troops to Dongjiang Station to block them, trying to eat the rush into the Taiping army.

Xu Tianyou didn't want to lead the troops, but after hearing from Tanma that the Taiping army was all infantry and had no cavalry, and the most recent Taiping army was still in Yangshuo, which was dozens of miles away, he felt that this was a good opportunity and agreed to lead the expedition. There were only more than 3,000 defenders in the central plains of Guilin City. After asking the line supervisor to return the army to no avail, Chen Weixin knew that the Wuzhou Taiping Army would definitely attack Guilin, so he ordered Pingle and all the battalions of the counties under the jurisdiction of Guilin to withdraw to Guilin. Although the Taiping army was able to capture more than a dozen prefectures and counties effortlessly, it also increased the strength of the Guilin garrison to more than 9,000 people, plus the youth in the city, more than 10,000 available manpower.

With Xu Tianyou out of the city, there were more than 1,000 people in Guiping, Wang Yanbin, and more than 700 people in Cangwu, Chen Hongye. After Li Bensheng, the army patrol road, fled back at the risk of his death, he gathered a group of young soldiers and strong men. The bandits attracted by the reward also managed to gather more than a thousand soldiers, but the main force was the town of Guilin under Xu Tianyou, with more than 300 cavalry and more than 1,400 infantry.

Before Xu Tianyou's ministry left the city, the governor Chen Weixin brought Feng Jin, the prefect of Guilin, and Yao Shitai, the same governor of Guilin, and other officials at the head of the city to hold a banquet to set up expedition wine. After drinking the expedition wine, Xu Tianyou ordered all the divisions to leave the city. At the end of the day, the Qing army met with the Fifth Town Brigade of the Taiping Army who had arrived at Dongjiang Station.

......

The Brigade of the Fifth Town was originally the Brigade of the Second Town. A few months ago, the Fifth Town was transferred from the Second Town. The town general, Shizhong, was a descendant of the Ming Qi family army.

After several battles, the soldiers of Brigade C had long since lost their nervousness when facing the Qing army. In their opinion, the soldiers of the Green Battalion on the opposite side were just here to deliver food. In the team, a few veterans even joked: "Today, young master, don't rush forward too fast, or your **** will be broken by the master again." School Yu Shizhong's only son Yu Youming.

Yu Youming fled south with his father since he was a child. It can be said that he was born in troubled times and grew up in the army. His father, Yu Shizhong, tried his best to teach him that Qi's army would have no successor. Yu Youming lived up to the expectations of his father. He was good at spears, sticks, and halberds. In addition, he was young and vigorous. Last time when Lufeng was besieged by Jidu, Yu Youming beheaded more than a dozen Qing soldiers on the top of the city. When he saw that the enemy troops under the city couldn't bear the casualties and started to flee, he jumped down on the ladder left by the Qing army and chased them down. , After a while, he cut off two more real Tartar heads and ran back.

This is a heroic move, but he went out of the city without a military order, and made his father Yu Shizhong so angry that he had to march in a rage. Fortunately, the then boss, the second town general Tie Yi, came to stop him after hearing about it. Yu Shizhong could not practice military law, so he practiced family law, and beat his son **** the school grounds. I don't want to, such a defeat made Yu Youming famous in the Taiping Army, even Zhou Dashuai knew that Lao Yu's family had a little Wenyang who could pick and chop right away.

When the fifth town was ordered to go west from Chaozhou, Yu Shizhong was just such an only son, and the west expedition was too dangerous to face hundreds of thousands of Qing troops in the southwest, so Yu Youming was not allowed to join the expedition, and Yu Youming knelt on the school ground. The first half of the day. After a conversation between the father and the son, Yu Youming finally got his wish, and followed the army with the rank of the team.

The veterans made fun of themselves in public, but Yu Youming wasn't annoyed. The old man around him didn't show affection to his son, and opened his **** in front of so many people. What's the point of calling others to laugh now. It's not that Lao Yujia's face is lost to the left and right. I don't want this face, and what does my son want. Besides, as long as the Tartars can be killed to avenge their grandfather and uncle, so what if they lose face!

Getting used to hearing the old soldiers tease, Yu Youming simply made fun of them: "Brothers, don't just laugh at me, I'm afraid that the battalion won't be beaten later, it's too smooth for us to start, and you guys run too much. I can't hold back, when the military order comes down, but everyone will suffer. Haha..."

"We were beaten, and the young master couldn't get away. But we are rough-skinned and thick-skinned. If you hit a hundred boards, it's just a scratch. If the young man's thin skin and tender flesh blooms again, he will walk for a while. Twisted, hehe, the little girl frowned when she saw it..."

Everyone was talking and laughing, and they didn't care about the Qing army on the opposite side. Their morale was high, as if the thousands of Qing soldiers on the opposite side were really muddy.

But when they heard the drums in the opposite Qing army, the veterans and the young master Yu Youming all put away their smiles and quickly spread out the knots according to the previous drills. This C brigade is completely the brigade school Yu Shizhong according to the tactics of Qi's army. It is also the only one in the Taiping army that does not practice according to the infantry drill code of the military commander's house. This is because Zhou Dashuai has made a special case to let the blood of Qi's army in the army. continued in the Taiping Army.

With the flag, each forty people from the top and bottom of the C brigade formed a small herringbone formation, staggered back and forth, and separated from left to right. The four people at the front of the small formation were leaning against the ground and propped up a five-zhang bamboo wolves, with ten spears on the side, and the boring handle and the knife player at the end. The sharp bamboo branches at the front of the wolf cockroach were not cut off, allowing the war horse to instinctively avoid it.

Relying on the superiority of troops and the presence of cavalry, the commander-in-chief of Guilin, Xu Tianyou, ordered a charge. He did not underestimate the enemy, nor was he careless, but decided to attack after analyzing the strength of the Taiping army on the opposite side, because he did not believe that the mere 2,000 Ming infantrymen could block his doubled troops~www.NovelMTL.com~ Then the battle situation From the very beginning, it was not as Xu Tianyou expected. When the 300-odd cavalry he marked filed into the gap between the small formations of the Taiping Army, no matter how hard he whipped the whip, he could not make the horses speed up any further. The boring handles and spears on the side of the formation kept sweeping towards the side of the Qing soldiers. The riders blocked with sabres, most of them were forked by the boring handle, and then were stabbed by several spears, and suddenly fell off their horses, screaming incessantly. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Qing army in the back team wanted to avoid the charge, but the bird gunner who hid behind the small formation of herringbone characters ran out to shoot again, and was knocked down again.

The expected marching formation turned into a one-sided massacre by the Ming army, which shocked Xu Tianyou who witnessed all this.

The infantry brigade also rushed up, and the Qing army could not be said to be reluctant to work hard, and even the Cangwu soldier Li Bensheng, who had called the Taiping Army to break his courage in the city of Wuzhou, rushed up with his soldiers, but despite the fact that The Qing army had an advantage in strength, but the Taiping army's front was not moving at all.

Slowly, with the constant orders of the brigade school Yu Shizhong, the banners changed one by one, and the Qing army was stunned to find that they were surrounded by the Taiping army, which was much smaller than itself.

A strangulation battle started **** at Dongjiang Station. (To be continued.)
