Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 105 The first battle of the new army! Big win!

Tuoming'a was a first-grade official more than ten years ago, and his rank was much higher than Su Yi's.

But he was still very polite to Su Yi, because he knew that the emperor would be extremely angry with this defeat, and Su Yi was the emperor's favorite, and if they got along well, he might be able to say a few words of help.

After hearing Su Yi's words, the coach Tuoming'a thought for a while and said: "Su Yi, your new army is too far away from here, and the rebel army is about to come over. It's too late for your new army to come to the camp now." It’s too late, if we encounter a rebellious army on the way, the consequences will be disastrous.”

"How about this? There is a camp eight miles south of us, called the Fairy Temple. The fortifications are ready. It originally formed a corner with our Shao Bo Town camp, but later we were defeated and had to shrink our troops. That camp It's free, how about you go and guard that camp?"

The relevant battlefield map immediately appeared in Su Yi's mind.

About a few days ago, the Fairy Temple camp was still defended by the New Army, but the Taiping Army attacked repeatedly. The Qing army lost again and again. More than a dozen camps near Shaobo Town were all wiped out by the Taiping Army.

After several days of fighting, the Qing troops in the Fairy Temple camp suffered heavy casualties and were frightened. They refused to defend the small camp outside.

At this time, people feel safe when there are many people, so the army gathered in Shao Bo Town to stay warm.

Su Yi cupped his hands and said, "I accept my order from my humble position."

Then, without saying a word, Su Yi got on his horse and returned to command the army.

Tuo Ming'a was stunned. This emperor's favorite man actually knew etiquette, but according to legend, he was very slippery and exaggerated.

Weng Tongshu, who was standing next to him, suddenly said: "I'll give General Su Yi a ride."

After hearing this, Tomin'a couldn't help but frown.

Then, Weng Tongshu got on his horse and chased Su Yi.

"Brother Jiang Ye, that magnificent article about the palace examination is really breathtaking." Weng Tong wrote: "After my brother read this article, he praised you continuously and made you a close friend. What you said, It’s all what’s on his mind.”

Well? !

That's really embarrassing. That policy question book was written by your brother Weng Tonghe. I just borrowed it for use.

Su Yi said: "I haven't congratulated my brother yet for getting the second place in this subject in high school."

Historically, Weng Tonghe was the number one scholar and Sun Yuwen was the second.

However, Emperor Xianfeng used this palace examination strategy in advance, so the questions of the palace examination were changed this time, and Weng Tonghe became the second place.

But he himself was still very happy. After all, he didn't know that he was originally the first in history.

"There is a saying that is both superficial and profound, but Weng has to say it." Weng Tong wrote.

Su Yi said: "Master Weng, please speak."

As a civil servant, Weng Tongshu was able to become one of the few adults in the Jiangbei camp because in a sense, he was an imperial envoy and the emperor's eyes and ears.

Although Su Yi and Boyannamohu also carried the emperor's imperial edict, they were not imperial envoys. The imperial edict was only for Tominga to see and tell him such a thing.

And let the commander of Jiangbei Camp control the two armies of Boyan and Su Yi.

As for seizing command power?

Su Yi had never thought about it, and it was absolutely impossible.

No matter how incompetent the Jiangbei camp was, it was still a friendly force, with a total of more than 20,000 people. How could a mere fourth-grade official seize the command?

If it were the Wuchang battlefield or the Jiujiang battlefield, Su Yi would never dare to go there now.

There were tens of thousands of Taiping troops and tens of thousands of Hunan troops there, all of them enemies.

Su Yi's less than 2,000 people were gone, and they might be killed by the Hunan army.

Weng Tong wrote: "The morale of the remnants of the Jiangbei camp is low. They only dare to hug each other for warmth every day. They can no longer improve the possibility. It is absolutely impossible to recover Yangzhou. It is already impossible to break up."

Su Yi said: "I would like to hear the details!"

Weng Tong wrote: "Tuoming'a is incompetent and Lei Yicheng is shameless. They are no longer worthy of being the commander-in-chief and deputy commander of Jiangbei Camp. I am the imperial envoy appointed by the emperor to Jiangbei Camp. I have already reported to the emperor to impeach Tuoming'a and ask the emperor to change the commander. Capture Tuoming'a and hold him accountable. Brother Su Yi belongs to the clan, and you and I are both scholars. For the sake of the country and the country, please bring brother Ye and me to jointly submit the memorial."

It is truly a characteristic of the Qing court that as soon as they arrive at a place, they start fighting among themselves.

Weng Tongshu thought that Su Yi was a close official of the emperor. Although his official position was low, he had a strong voice in front of the emperor.

So he immediately wanted to win over Su Yi and overthrow Toming'a.

However, Su Yi did not want Jiangbei Camp to change generals.

As the coach, Tominga was in Su Yi's best interests.

This person is not very capable, but isn't that a good thing?

Moreover, at the critical moment, Su Yi gave him help in the nick of time, which made it easier for him to cooperate in future matters.

Even if his future is in jeopardy, as long as he is the head coach, he has the power to give orders.

On the other hand, Weng Tongshu kept saying that Weng Tonghe was Su Yi's close friend, but in reality?

Weng Tonghe was completely on Zhang Yuzhao's side and criticized Su Yi several times.

It's not that Su Yi holds a grudge, but that once a stance is established, it's actually very difficult to change.

Su Yi said: "Master Weng, let me weigh it."

Weng Tongshu's smile suddenly faded, and then he asked with concern: "Brother Su Yi, your new army has only been training for eight months?"

Su Yi said: "Yes."

Weng Tong wrote: "Those who should follow Master Guiliang to suppress the rebellion in Henan should not come to this Shura field."

Then, he cupped his hands towards Su Yi and said, "Brother Su Yi, take care."

Then Weng Tongshu turned around and left, returning to the Shao Bo Town camp.

In fact, what he said after that was a bit unpleasant, and anyone else would have held a grudge.

Why should you follow Mr. Guiliang to suppress the enemy?

That means that if you want to gain credit, go to Henan to suppress bandits.

There you can kill good people and take credit for them, and you can get as much credit as you want, and now there are many Nian bandits who are all different, some are tough and brave Da Da Da Da Da Da bandits, and there are also many small craftsmen and bankrupt farmers.

If you come to the Yangzhou battlefield, you won't get any credit here, but you will lose your life.

............................................................

After Weng Tongshu returned to the camp.

Deputy Commander Dexing'a stepped forward and whispered: "How about it, is he willing to join Tuo Ming'a?"

Weng Tongshu shook his head and said: "This young man doesn't know how high the sky is and how high he is. He still wants to come to Yangzhou to make meritorious service, fight in a battle, and get bloody. You will know that the battlefield here is not something he, a lucky minister, can play around with. He is a frog in the well."

Dexing Adao said: "What kind of new army? They were still farmers eight months ago and have never been on the battlefield. If they suddenly attack us in reverse, I'm afraid they will pee."

Weng Tong wrote: "Isn't that what Tuoming'a arranged for him to camp at the Fairy Temple? He was afraid that they would be frightened on the battlefield for the first time and retreat, causing a collapse of the whole camp, so they were told to stay away from the main camp."

Dexing'a said: "The target of this rebellion is probably not the Fairy Temple camp, so I'm afraid there won't be a fight there. Tuoming'a wants to sell Su Yi."

Weng Tong wrote: "What's the use? He's been defeated after repeated battles. He won't be in this position for a long time. Maybe the imperial edict is on the way."

............................................................

Su Yi galloped south quickly.

As soon as he arrived at the battlefield, he immediately saw an internal fight.

No, it's involvement.

But this kind of internal fighting is quite fun.

He directly sided with Tominga, and the other party didn't know it yet, or he didn't care if he knew it.

But...as long as you win.

This is a timely help for Tomin'a. If he wins bigger and wins a few more battles, then Tomin'a's position will be saved directly.

By then, how grateful will this coach be?

And by that time, Su Yi would be very convenient no matter what she did.

How is it possible for him, a fourth-grade official, to seize the power of an army of tens of thousands?

However, it is still possible to achieve a series of victories and make the coach start to obey his words.

Hello, hello, hello everyone, this is the officialdom upgrade mode.

Now Su Yi and Toming'a have a completely complementary relationship.

Therefore, the top priority now is to fight the first battle well.

This is the first battle since the establishment of the new army.

The parade was not a real appearance, it is now.

If you have the ability, everyone will look up to you.

Only when you win will others value you.

At this time, Su Yi saw the dust and smoke in the west.

The Taiping Army is coming!

This place is already quite far away from Shaobo Town Camp.

Could it be that their target is the Fairy Temple Camp?

Su Yi guessed correctly, the target of this Taiping Army was the Fairy Temple.

The main force went to attack the Shaobo Town Camp. They came to occupy the Fairy Temple Camp and surrounded the Shaobo Town Camp.

Depend on!

Military sentiment is on fire!

It suddenly became tense.

In the current situation, Su Yi's new army is still halfway there.

The partial division of the Taiping Army is quickly rushing to the Fairy Temple Camp, and they should be closer.

It would be bad if the Taiping Army arrived at the Fairy Temple Camp first.

It went directly from a defensive battle to an offensive battle.

The difficulty coefficient rises directly by several levels.

Therefore, it must be fast, fast!

Hurry up and capture the Fairy Temple camp before the Taiping Army.

So, Su Yi accelerated like crazy and galloped.

......................................................

Su Yi went south and the new army went north.

Soon after, the two sides met.

"All troops, advance at full speed!"

"Abandon all supplies and baggage that are not needed for the time being."

"March urgently to defend the Fairy Temple's defense line!"

Following Su Yi's order, more than a thousand new troops immediately threw away all their excess belongings.

Only bring necessary supplies for the battlefield.

Then, led by officers from each team, they ran wildly.

These baggage are very valuable, but the military situation is like a fire, and if it is lost, it is lost.

run!

run!

run!

Three hundred heavy troops were stationed on the spot.

They are not real soldiers, but temporarily recruited auxiliary soldiers.

One thousand infantry, three hundred artillery, and three hundred cavalry.

But now, because no defense line has been built, the artillery is still on the British armed merchant ships, which is the safest place.

Therefore, these three hundred artillerymen can only be used as infantry for the time being.

"Shiqing, lead the cavalry at full speed and enter the camp first."

"After the infantry takes over the camp, you immediately withdraw and lie in ambush in the rear. As a battlefield reserve, you can rush out at the critical moment."

Wang Shiqing shouted: "I humbly accept my order!"

Then, he led three hundred cavalry and galloped northward crazily without skimping on horsepower.

............................................................

The new army once again conducted an extreme march.

This time the distance was not far, only a dozen miles.

But the Taiping Army was closer, only seven or eight miles away.

Therefore, the new army must be fast, race against time, and race against the Taiping Army!

Thirteen hundred infantrymen, led by Su Yi, almost ran to death.

at last!

Once again a small miracle was created.

The distance of sixteen miles took less than an hour.

After 1,300 infantrymen took over the Fairy Temple camp, Wang Shiqing immediately led 300 cavalry to withdraw from the camp and ambush to the edge.

At the critical moment, this cavalry team came out again.

Without Su Yi's orders, the battalion commanders of the new army and the leaders of each company immediately began to set up defense lines.

Start organizing the battle formation.

It's a pity that there are no artillery in this battle, otherwise it would be easier to fight.

Just ten minutes later!

Enemies appear.

It was almost ten minutes.

The military is on fire.

What a blessing, now Su Yi's new army has taken the initiative.

If Su Yi had been ten minutes late, I don't know how many more people would have died.

The opponent's Taiping Army was covered in darkness.

It had been running like this all the time, so the general used a telescope to take a look.

Surprised to find that there are people in the Fairy Temple camp?

Isn't this an abandoned camp? Why is there someone on defense?

Why is this army so weird?

The clothes he wears are completely different.

However, they all have braids.

That was undoubtedly Qing Yao's army.

The leader of the Taiping Army immediately ordered the entire army to stop advancing!

Immediately afterwards, the Taiping Army also began to form a formation.

Fortunately, they had no artillery either.

"Commander Yi, look at the opponent's formation. There are about 3,000 to 4,000 rebel troops."

The opponent has three to four thousand, our own infantry has thirteen hundred, and there is an ambush of three hundred cavalry.

This first battle is important enough!

The leader of the Taiping Army was both cautious and bold.

Caution is a normal attitude in using troops.

Bold because of contempt for the Qing army.

It is normal to be contemptuous. During this period, the Taiping Army won too thoroughly and too easily.

Repeated battles and victories.

The large group of clear monsters is okay, because there are many people, they feel safe enough, and they can still fight.

The small group of Qingyao almost collapsed in one blow.

At this time, the chief general of the Taiping Army also believed that Su Yi's small army of clear demons would definitely be defeated in one blow.

So, after setting up the formation.

This Taiping Army began to charge directly.

"Kill all the demons!"

"Kill all the demons!"

Following waves of chanting, these three to four thousand Taiping troops rushed over like a tide.

Su Yi could feel that the atmosphere of the new army suddenly changed.

The breath of fear emerged.

This is not surprising.

After all, he had only been training for eight months and it was his first time on the battlefield.

They also faced truly ferocious enemies.

"Hold on!"

"Hold on!"

"Don't panic!"

Chief officials at all levels kept shouting.

Lin Li and others also held a gun and patrolled various places within the defense line.

"Brothers, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

"This is our first battle, we can't embarrass Commander Yi."

"You can't embarrass your parents."

"If you are not afraid, you will not die. If you are afraid, you will die!"

Wang Danian, a soldier, squatted in the trench, his whole body trembling.

He could feel that the whole ground was shaking.

Countless rebellions rushed towards him like crazy, seemingly not afraid of death at all.

He told himself over and over again, don't be afraid, don't be afraid.

But... I'm still scared.

The gun in his hand began to tremble.

Moreover, it looked like he couldn't breathe.

Li Liang, who was next to him, said: "I'm trembling like this. I'm scared. Don't make me pee because I'm scared. I'll give you a sip."

He handed over a pipe.

Wang Danian took it, took a deep breath, then choked and coughed violently.

"I haven't slept with a girl yet, and I don't want to die." Wang Danian said.

Li Liang said: "This thing is really interesting. I keep arguing and arguing, and then I suddenly tremble. That feeling..."

"It's like ascending to heaven."

Before the battle, tell dirty jokes?

Uh, that's also a way.    At least the whips of Lin Li and others were not removed.

But in fact, Li Liang himself was scared to death.

He brags every day, as if he has dated countless women, but in fact he has only had one in total.

And the process goes without saying.

What do you keep arguing with?

Just seven or eight times.

The widow also coaxed him and said, "It's like this, don't be discouraged, it will get better in the future."

The more scared he felt in his heart, the more Li Liang couldn't stop talking and making noises.

The Taiping Army rushed closer and closer.

Getting closer and closer.

Several officers held their breath and stared at the distance of the enemy.

The enemy at the front has already rushed within three to four hundred meters.

You can even see their ferocious and ferocious faces.

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

With an order.

The new army within the Fairy Temple's defense line pulled the trigger.

"Clap clap clap..."

Intensive gunfire rang out!

Caught off guard!

The person at the front of the Taiping Army fell down.

Shocking casualties!

Su Yi was stunned.

Do you all... fight like this?

And the other party was also confused.

This Qingyao army has such good weapons? Are there so many foreign guns? Hitting so accurately?

In terms of weapons and equipment, Jiangbei Camp is still far behind the Hunan Army. Although they also have firearms, their number is not very large and they are relatively backward.

The equipment of Su Yi's new army was mostly Migne 1851 rifles and a small amount of Enfield 1853.

But no matter which one, they were absolutely advanced on the battlefield of the Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, in the past few months, the New Army has developed excellent marksmanship by relying on countless bullets and the wear and tear of countless guns.

In this regard, the New Army is very good, but they don't know it.

As a result, neither party was mentally prepared.

This first time we opened fire, we actually killed so many people?

The opponent is also confused. Is the Qingyao army so accurate? So many people died at once?

"Get down, get down!"

After a brief moment of panic, the Taiping troops stopped their charge.

Start looking for natural bunkers on the ground and advance slowly.

And spread out two wings to attack from the left and right.

Then, both sides opened fire on each other!

The Taiping Army also had muskets and some bows and arrows.

The two sides fought back and forth.

Suddenly, the entire battlefield entered the most comfortable moment for the new army.

The opponent did not charge, and directly lost the pressure of Mount Tai.

Although this kind of scattered shooting is not as exciting as cutting wheat at the beginning.

However, the New Army rifles were more accurate and could hit farther.

So ever.

The Taiping Army was completely passive and was being beaten.

Casualties continued to mount.

As for Su Yi's new army, because of its fortifications, its casualties were almost minimal.

Suddenly, the new army was not afraid.

This...this is the battlefield.

It's nothing great.

Quite relaxing.

This reversal is not as scary as the legend says.

Every soldier started a game of precise aiming.

Reload without haste, shoot without haste.

Taking away the lives of one Taiping soldier after another.

The opponent's Taiping Army was once again defeated.

Enter the motherfucker.

Which pure demon is this?

It's so powerful, this gun is so tricky.

"Commander, we can't continue the fight like this. These clear monsters are too accurate."

"We have never fought such a battle. If this continues, the morale of the brothers will be destroyed, and they will be completely passive."

"We still have to charge. There are many of us. We will try our best to kill a group of them. We will rush over and chop them to death with a knife."

"But charge in a scattered manner, cover from three sides and charge!"

....................................

The Taiping Army began to retreat!

The brothers of the New Army were shocked. Are you going to retreat now?

Is this going to win?

Then this battle would be too easy.

A large number of enemies were defeated with almost no casualties.

But Su Yi knew that it was not that simple.

In the telescope, this Taiping army had a ferocious face, eyes like fire, and high morale.

There was no intention of retreating at all.

This is about regrouping the array.

Probably still need to prepare to charge.

"Dong dong dong dong!"

Immediately afterwards, the sound of war drums suddenly sounded.

Then, the Taiping army divided into three directions and began to charge crazily.

With crazy momentum.

The first time they charged, they charged with arrogance.

And this second charge was completely full of determination without fear of death.

Very scary! The courage to move forward is amazing.

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

Thirteen hundred new troops opened fire with all their might.

His marksmanship is still accurate.

But now that the Taiping Army has dispersed, the results are not as great as before.

However, the Taiping Army continued to fall.

Keep falling.

The closer the distance, the higher the casualty rate.

The more people fall.

but……

Facing the fallen companions around them, this group of Taiping soldiers didn't even look at them.

Just keep rushing, keep rushing.

They chanted slogans with hatred and shocking murderous intent.

"Kill the clear demon!"

"Kill the clear demon!"

Getting closer, getting closer.

Su Yi crazily bent his bow and arrows, and shot wildly.

Rely on, on, on!

No!

This...this...this posture looks like it might collapse?

These Taiping troops are too reckless.

Simple and direct, just charging like crazy.

However, Su Yi's new army artillery was not delivered, so it was almost impossible to solve the problem.

The Migne gun fires three times a minute, which is already the limit for ordinary soldiers.

But this firepower density is far from enough.

Once this group of Taiping troops rush in? That's hand-to-hand combat.

This aspect is the weakness of the New Army.

No matter in terms of momentum or combat experience, Cold Weapons is not as good as the Taiping Army.

Is this first battle going to be so ups and downs?

At first, it was a one-sided killing.

Now... the situation may be reversed?

Su Yi absolutely did not want to fight hand-to-hand, as that would cause too many casualties.

The New Army only has a total of more than a thousand people. If there were hundreds of casualties in the first battle, it would be a big deal.

Taiping casualties were increasing.

More and more people fell to the ground suddenly.

But rushing closer and closer.

The soldiers of the New Army began to tremble with fear once again.

They all felt the threat of death.

Because they could clearly feel the ferocity and fierceness of the Taiping Army.

In terms of momentum in this aspect, the new army was suppressed. After all, the opponent was a veteran of hundreds of battles and had no idea how much he could survive.

"Don't panic, shoot!"

"shooting!"

"Prepare team tactics."

"Five-man tactics!"

Officers of all ranks shouted loudly.

If it were other Qing troops, perhaps they would have begun to flee at this time.

But the new army didn't, even though they were scared, even though their faces were earthy.

But they still followed the order and began to change their formations, preparing for close combat.

Bang, bang, bang!

After a crazy charge, the front troops of the Taiping Army rushed into the New Army's defense line.

The hand-to-hand combat begins!

The fierce fighting began.

The New Army began to suffer casualties.

Can't wait!

at the same time!

Su Yi gave the order suddenly, and fired an arrow into the sky.

Then, Wang Shiqing's cavalry, who was ambushing not far away, rushed out frantically.

From a distance, kill them first with a horse rifle.

After getting close, start charging at a crazy speed.

With an indomitable momentum, he crushed it crazily.

The saber in his hand was slashing wildly.

Fighting like crazy!

Plow right across the entire battlefield.

And this time!

The entire battlefield was a mass of crazy fighting.

The Taiping Army was directly intercepted by Wang Shiqing's cavalry and divided into two parts.

Suddenly, the pressure within the New Army's defense line was greatly relieved.

A team of three and a team of five were organized.

They began to attack the Taiping troops who rushed in, killing them one by one.

But the Taiping army that rushed in was too ferocious. Although there were fewer people, they still fought crazily and showed no fear of death.

But fortunately, Su Yi's new army has advanced tactics, so at this close range, it can also take advantage of the foreign guns to kill the enemy.

However, casualties are definitely inevitable.

at the same time.

Su Yi discovered the commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army. Was he a division commander or a military commander?

He held a telescope and overlooked the entire battlefield from a small high ground more than 400 meters away.

More than four hundred meters? !

The bow and arrow are definitely out of reach.

Even for an Enfield rifle, it was beyond the effective range.

But... you can give it a try!

Su Yi took an Enfield 1853 rifle and began to take aim at the leader of the Taiping Army.

Very surprised!

The other party's telescope is also looking here.

Seeing Su Yi raising his gun and taking aim, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Are you the Qingyao Commander? Are you going to shoot me?

Do you know how far apart we are?

Almost a mile away.

It's impossible to hit this distance, don't you know?

Even less likely to hit accurately?

at the same time!

Several soldiers from the Taiping Army who had already rushed in also discovered Su Yi, the general, and were immediately overjoyed.

"Kill this Qingyao General!"

"Kill this Qingyao General and avenge our brothers!"

As a result, these Taiping soldiers suddenly no longer had any defense and abandoned all the opponents around them.

They directly raised their muskets and began to aim at Su Yi, who was less than a hundred meters away.

"boom!"

Su Yi finished aiming and opened fire!

Several Taiping soldiers also took aim and opened fire fiercely.

Just a moment!

The Taiping Army general was in great shock and was shot directly and fell down.

The people nearby rushed up desperately, shouting loudly: "Military Commander, Military Commander!"

Before the Taiping Army general fell, he was still filled with absolute incredulity.

So far, so far!

Can this all hit?

This clear demon general, who are you?

And at the same time!

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

The five Taiping soldiers aiming at Su Yi all opened fire.

Then a few seconds later.

"Bang bang bang bang..." They were all hit by the new army and fell to the ground dead.

And these five bullets, carrying fierce flames, shot towards Su Yi fiercely.

"Shuai Yi!" the guard next to him shouted and pounced on him almost instinctively.

Take the bullet for Su Yi!

He was shot in the back and blood spilled out.

But Su Yi only felt a burst of heat and a burst of wind in front of her eyes.

His instinct was to dodge quickly.

Two projectiles flew directly from less than one meter in front of his eyes.

After a few minutes!

The battle is over!

The remaining Taiping troops began to flee.

Su Yi's new army began to count the results of the battle.
