Han’s Son is Not a Slave

The trench that Zeng Shicheng cursed was not dug by the Taiping army, but dug by the Qing army to surround Xinhui City.

The trenches dug by the Qing army were more than five feet deep and more than three feet wide. Due to yesterday's rain, some places in the ditch accumulated rainwater due to unevenness. Looking at one pond after another, the pond was turbid, and only the pickets were vaguely seen sticking out. corpse.

In order to fill up these trenches, the Taiping Army drove the defeated Qing army back and forth to fill the trenches several times, and then filled the trenches with human lives at any cost, but they only filled two or three gaps less than three feet wide. Not all of them were occupied by the Taiping army, but only two of them were barely controlled by repeated competition with the Qing army. For this reason, nearly one-third of the troops of the Xiongwei Camp were buried here.

After Shang's cavalry appeared, Zhou Shiquan immediately ordered the entire army to retreat to the second line of defense. In order to prevent the Qing cavalry from rushing out along the passages opened by the Taiping Army, he asked Shao Jiugong to lead people to block the two passages. . In a hurry, Shao Jiugong went to find the blocked thing again. He could only collect materials on the spot and move the nearby corpses to block it. The corpses belonged to Qing soldiers and Taiping soldiers.

Originally, there were gaps between each line of defense of the Qing army for the passage of troops, horses and materials, but after the Taiping army suddenly burst out and broke through the first two lines of defense, the Han army flag soldiers stationed in the third line of defense blocked the passage with carts. This also forced the Taiping army to take lives to fill the deep ditch full of pickets. This move has to be said to be correct. At least at the time, it slowed the attack speed of the Taiping army, and bought time for the Qing army behind the defense line to stand firm and wait for help, but now it has caused great trouble for the soldiers of the Shang family, who are all cavalry.

When Zeng Shicheng found that there was no road in front of him and there were only ditches, the speed of the mount was already high, but he was brave and reined in the mount with all his might. Avoid falling into the ditch with people and horses. But the other soldiers of the family who rushed up did not have the ability to lead Zeng Zuo, and the children of Liaodong, who were drawn into the soldiers of the family after more than a dozen horsemen, all stumbled and fell into the ditch in an instant. The pickets in the ditch pierce into the horse's belly and into the human body. The mournful screams of the war horses came one after another, causing the Qing soldiers behind them to change color. Some unlucky guys were also brought into the ditch by their mounts, and dozens of soldiers were killed or injured.

"Okay, fall to death you bastards. Mother-in-law's pure demon!"

Seeing the Qing army fall into the ditch, the Taiping army on the opposite side burst into cheers. Taking advantage of the chaos of the Qing army, the guard battalion quickly dispatched a manpower to respond to the companions who were pushed into the ditch by the Qing army, but unfortunately the Qing army fell into the ditch and was stabbed by the pickets. The people of the Taiping Army also could not avoid being stabbed by the pickets. More than 30 gunmen fled here with a hundred households Jiang He, but only less than half of them climbed out of the ditch unscathed.

The bald Jiang He was also injured, and his left foot was pierced by a bamboo stick. When he was pulled up, the left foot was completely pulled out from the bamboo stick. The pain caused the man to scream, and the blood was even worse. dragged to the ground. But seeing the Qing Yao who was chasing and killing also fell into the ditch, Jiang He was in great pain and couldn't stop laughing. Every time he laughed, the soles of his feet hurt. After a few laughs, he couldn't laugh anymore, and he helped him to the back with his hands.

Zhou Shixiang saw the injured bald man. Without any words, just nodded slightly. Jiang He was not hypocritical, grinning pretending to be happy. He went back with a pale face.

After discovering that their companions in front fell off their horses and fell into the ditch, the soldiers who followed behind hurriedly stopped their horses. After a moment of confusion, the Qing army reorganized the queue reads;. During the brief pause in the Qing army, the Taiping army gained a little respite, and its morale recovered a little, no longer the sense of despair it had just before.

Qin Guocheng, the military capital of the family, frowned slightly after inspecting the terrain on horseback, and immediately spread it out. He ordered someone to call Wang Baoguo, the former leader of the Anti-Flag Soldiers Association, and after a few inquiries, ordered him to immediately organize people to clear the passage.

Take advantage of your own cavalry. Although the opposite Taiping army had the advantage of occupying the terrain and resisted it, Qin Guocheng firmly believed that the Taiping army would never be able to strike as his own cavalry, no matter how cunning he was. The previous blow had defeated them. Now is the best time to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. As long as the main force of the Taiping army can be broken in person, and the opponent is terrified, the army can retreat in peace. Think that the thief show can no longer have the courage to attack. As for the dozens of hands that fell into the ditch, although Qin Dutong was distressed, he would not withdraw his troops because of it.

Qin Guocheng was the general of the prince's seat and the military commander of his family. He sent a message, how dare Wang Baoguo refuse to obey, he immediately found Zuo Lian to Guo Kui and others, and ordered them to organize personnel to clear the road, and then follow The cavalry rushed out together, reporting the shame of being crushed and beaten by the Taiping army earlier.

With the support of cavalry, the flag soldiers were all morale, and no matter how tired they were, everyone worked hard. After a while, the carts that were blocking the passage were moved away.

After the last cart was moved away, Zeng Shicheng shouted "kill" first, and then hundreds of cavalry rushed out to kill the Taiping army.

..........

"Qing Yao is here again!"

In several defense circles of the Taiping Army, officers shouted loudly. The soldiers nervously held the weapons in their hands, staring intently at the roaring Qing cavalry.

The remnants of the guard battalion, Hujie battalion, and Xiongwei battalion each occupy one side, and the Qing army camps and the remaining fences within the defense line form a circular defensive belt. In the middle is the guard battalion with the least loss of troops. They made use of the terrain as much as possible and surrounded the dozens of carts left by the Qing army in a circle. The soldiers hid behind the carts to avoid being caught by the Qing army. The cavalry broke down.

Although Hujie Camp and Xiongwei Camp didn't have so many big racks to use, they used everything that could be used. Although it seemed that it was still difficult to block the charge of the cavalry, it was better than standing in the open space. It is much better to wait for the cavalry to charge.

Zhou Shixiang was standing in the second row holding a long sword, and in front of him was a circle of soldiers holding long poles. These long poles are all hardwood removed from the Qing army's fence~www.readwn.com~ They are taller than ordinary spears, about six feet long, and the ends are sharpened with knives.

Zhou Shixiang's order to these soldiers with long poles was not to wait for him to give orders, and these poles could not be lifted, so as not to be discovered by the Qing army who rushed over and lost their unexpected miraculous effect.

Except for these soldiers holding long poles, the rest of the soldiers all held spears and large swords. As long as they found that a Qing soldier fell, they would go forward or stab or chop. In short, the Qing army must not be allowed to rush in.

This big car ring is a small fortification, Zhou Shixiang has used all the methods he can think of, and the next thing is not up to him to decide. God really wants him to die, but it's nothing more than a bird's-eye after death.

The Taiping army watched quietly as the Qing army cleared the road, and then groups of Qing army cavalry rushed towards them from this road.

The sound of the horse's hooves was getting closer and closer, and the faces of the Qing army cavalry became clearer and clearer. The Taiping army took a deep breath consciously, and there was anxiety and tension in the air. When it was obvious that the charging Qing cavalrymen were waving their swords, suddenly, everyone heard a roar:

"Brothers, we fought against Gou Ri's Qing Yao!" To be continued.
