Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 567: to survive

The Qing army's artillery fired.

Xian Guoan's direct line soldiers were originally the Han army under the Dingnan domain, and the Han army under the Dingnan domain was the army that was best at firearms in the entire Qing army. Down. When Xian Guoan led his troops into Guizhou, they seized a large number of firearms of Sun Kewang's Ming army along the way, making the Xianbu the most powerful firearm force in the Qing army in the southwest. It is precisely because of the powerful firearms that the Ministry of National Security was able to defeat the Ming army with elephant soldiers in a row, advancing all the way from Guizhou to Kunming.

This time, Xian Guoan was ordered by Duny to lead the army back to Guangxi, and the number of artillery pieces he carried actually exceeded the Taiping Army Cannon Town stationed in Liuzhou. However, in the previous battle, Xian Guoan did not fully display his strength, so that he was face-to-face. The Taiping Army did not know his true background. Just like the battle in Dushan Prefecture, Xian Guoan first used his weakness to confuse the 11th town of the Taiping army, and then when he was slack in the 11th town, he unexpectedly punched out, resulting in the annihilation of the 11th town.

In the same way, Xian Guoan's patience was used in the Liuzhou war. Even if he was eager to break Liuzhou City, he still patiently tested, consumed, and attacked the Taiping Army bit by bit, in order to capture the best fighters and the most powerful ones. Time to win the highland north of Liuzhou City in one fell swoop. And the various embarrassments shown by the Qing army before were, to some extent, just another show of weakness by Xian Guoan. In order to convince the Ming army that he could not conquer Xiaobei Mountain, he wanted to withdraw but could not withdraw, so he was in a dilemma. Xian Guoan even ordered someone to disclose the news to some green battalion soldiers, and the green battalion soldiers who knew the "actual situation" of the Qing army were in the first place. In the next two days, they will be sent to attack the Ming army. As a result, the Ming army will know the difficulties of Xian Guoan from the prisoners' mouths.

In fact, from the very beginning of the fight, Xian Guoan had no intention of attacking Liuzhou at all, because he knew better than anyone that Liuzhou was difficult to conquer, because he personally directed the attack on Liuzhou. Liuzhou City, which is surrounded by rivers on three sides and has navies that can transport troops and food, has never been a target that Lin Guoan wants to take, his target is Guilin. If you want the whole army to attack Guilin north, you must take the highland north of Liuzhou.

The importance of Xiaobei Mountain is not only the northern gate of Liuzhou, but more importantly, the Qing army can completely lock the Ming army of Liuzhou city in the city. Only when the Liuzhou Ming army was trapped could Xian Guoan boldly march north. Although the fifth town where the Taiping Army has been operating on the outside line is not weak, the line Guoan believes that if he is fully aggressive in Guilin, the fifth town with thousands of troops will never be able to resist him.

Since the start of the war, Xian Guoan has continuously driven the surrendering army to attack the Taiping army positions, which made the Taiping army think that the Qing army is desperately trying. Coupled with the false information obtained from the prisoners, Shao Jiugong, the governor of Guangxi, can not help but be a little optimistic, thinking that Xian Guoan is nothing more than that.

The optimism of Shao Jiugong as the commander-in-chief of the governor naturally infected the Taiping soldiers stationed in Xiaobei Mountain. The Jia Brigade and Pao Town in the fourth town were somewhat contemptuous of the Qing army, thinking that these Han troops and the Green Battalion were ultimately inferior to Manchuria. Son, he is just a guy who helps Se Li Nei, and he has no means of defeating the enemy other than driving the people to act as cannon fodder. If they really have the ability, they won't even be able to touch the Liuzhou city wall for more than ten days.

The Taiping Army who had this idea was naturally surprised when they heard the sound of cannons in the Qing army. They were surprised not that the Qing army had so many artillery pieces, but that the opponent had been hiding the artillery pieces before that. Does not show up in the army.

The artillerymen of Xian Guoan's artillery are all veterans of the Han army under Dingnan, and the officers all stayed in the new army established by Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, and participated in almost all large-scale Ming and Qing wars after the surrender fighting. In the Battle of Songshan that year, the Qing army was able to quickly occupy the Beacon Hill where the Ming army's grain road was located, and this artillery played an irreplaceable role in it. During the Battle of One Stone, although the Manchu soldiers and Wu Sangui's Guan Ning Army and the Chuang Army fought head-on, but if the artillery of King Sanshun swept the rear and captured the Chuang Army infantry, the outcome of the battle would be hard to say. .

After the Qing army's artillery sounded, the elite soldiers of the Xian Guoan headquarters who had been on standby for a long time, together with more than 10,000 surrendered troops, rushed towards Xiaobei Mountain. The Qing army archers and gunmen, who were originally mixed in the negative soil, also began to attack the Taiping army after the fortification.

Most of the trenches have been filled, and the rest no longer need to be filled, because people can directly pass through the corpse mounds and mud mounds. The people who survived the sudden advance of the Qing army were all excited. They thought that they would no longer be needed in the next battle and that they could save their lives. However, when they were about to run back with the excitement and excitement of escaping from death, the Qing army cavalry behind them used sabres to force them to continue rushing towards the Taiping defense line on the opposite mountain.

There was no room for negotiation, and there was no time for hesitation, Zhao Xing daringly followed the crowd and rushed towards the Taiping Army's line of defense. Zhao Xing had to rush, because those who were unwilling to rush were beheaded by the Qing soldiers. He didn't want to be a headless corpse himself, he wanted to go back to his hometown alive. He also wanted to bring the little sister back alive. The Qing soldiers had promised that as long as the Ming army was broken, the women could be put back. His father, mother and brother were all dead. Zhao Xing had only one relative in this world, his little sister. Although he was afraid of death, if possible, he would still bring the little sister home.

In order to survive, or to be able to bring their daughters and sisters home, the people, under the repeated coercion of the Qing soldiers, rushed over the trenches and rushed towards the Taiping army's defense line.

The guns and guns were constantly flying around them. Zhao Xing saw with his own eyes that a fellow countryman in front had his head smashed by the guns of the Ming army, and his headless body still ran a dozen steps forward before falling. fall to the ground. It looked so terrifying.

The Ming army obviously discovered the large-scale attack of the Qing army. Their artillery was too fierce, and the guns were fired more densely. As a result, the people who acted as cannon fodder fell one by one, like the wind blowing rice waves.

Despair and panic are spreading, the shouting is louder, and no one is sane anymore. Zhao Xingjia rushed forward numbly in the crowd. He jumped into the ditch with bare feet, and climbed out of the ditch. When he pulled out his feet, he felt that his feet were being pulled down. It was as if a water ghost suddenly pulled his feet from below while swimming in the river.

Even crawling and rolling out of the ditch, Zhao Xing was soaked all over, sweating on the upper body and urine on the lower body. He shouted "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”

The Han people who rushed to the front were all grim-faced, with mud, blood, or sweat on their faces. They seemed to have endless energy and ran very fast. They saw the obstacles set up by the Ming army in front, the circles of iron wire, bamboo guns, and the defense line set up by the fence. There are many iron caltrops emitting a cold light on the wire.

"Ah, my feet!"

Suddenly, the person in front suddenly screamed, and many people jumped around holding their feet. Zhao Xing could see clearly that the ground in front of him was covered with caltrops, which were scattered all over the place, leaving people nowhere to stay. In some places, there are no caltrops, but the ground is densely packed with sharpened bamboo stakes and iron nails. The denseness is shocking to look at.

More and more people have their feet pierced and nailed there~www.NovelMTL.com~ The pain makes them finally sober, they want to turn back, but the crowd behind them pushes them forward like a wall .

The fallen people became the "stepping stones" for their companions in the rear and the Qing army. Zhao Xing also fell, and his body was less than ten paces away from the fence of the Ming army in front. But he could no longer get close, his right hand clenched his fist and stared at the fence, he could clearly see the red military caps behind the fence.

Am I so dead? Am I going to die like my parents and brother?

Zhao Xing looked at the Ming army wearing red hats in despair. His body was constantly being trampled by the people behind him, and every time he was trampled, his body hurt a little. He couldn't move his whole body, because his body was firmly nailed by countless iron nails and bamboo stakes. What was the posture when he fell and what posture is he still in now.

Countless Qing troops shouted and rushed up the hillside along the channel paved with the lives of the people.

"boom!"

The sound of cannons came from the Ming army, and along with the sound of the cannons, the charging Qing troops fell one by one. The iron nails and lead fired from the big guns and tiger squat guns of the Ming army turned the front of the position into a restricted area. (To be continued.)()
