A military boot stepped on the blood-stained, soaked snow at the mouth of the gourd, and it had already turned purple and black, and it was impossible to tell whether it was dirt or snow. The pen and the pavilion www.biquge.info military boots stretched out and turned over a corpse lying prone on the ground, which was the corpse of a Chu army.

Looking around, the corpses were stacked on top of each other, and I don't know how many people had died here, most of them refugees in ragged clothes. Shaking his head gently, the kitten looked up to the sky and sighed, Mo Luo's usual means are to open the door to victory at the cost of the lives of countless innocent people, this person is not removed, but I am afraid that countless people will die because of him in the future.

Behind him, groups of Taiping soldiers were pouring into the mouth of the gourd, and the tragic scene inside the mouth of the gourd shocked everyone.

"Mo Luo didn't send someone to guard the gourd mouth, I originally thought that I would fight a tough battle here, but now it's good, he actually gave us such a dangerous place for nothing, does he think that we will watch him eat the Chu army in one go?" Chen Jialuo shook the blood and mud on his feet, not without irony.

The kitten smiled coldly: "This person is above the military command, he is an idiot. He wanted to eat the Chu army in one go, but he was afraid that he would break his teeth, did you see it, there are not many corpses of the Chu army here, and the city wall has not been damaged too much, what does this mean? It shows that the Chu army took the initiative to give up here, and he did not hit the Chu army hard at all, if Jiang Tao shrank the main force back to the port area, with Mo Luo, I am afraid that he will not be able to defeat it. ”

Chen Jialuo nodded, looked at the corpses all over the ground, and said with some heartache: "What a good strong labor, if you live, how much wealth can you create, just like that, die here in vain." Look at them, they don't even have a decent weapon. At his feet, there was a refugee who had died on his back, holding in his hand what was nothing more than a sharpened stick.

"Changyang County has been ravaged by Mo Luo for almost two years, and the essence has been lost, even if we take over, we are afraid that in a short period of time, we will not be able to recover at all, and it will become a long-term burden to us." The kitten shook his head.

"The boss will figure it out." Chen Jialuo smiled: "How to fight this battle? After killing Mo Luo, Changyang County can be considered truly safe. ”

"How? Simply put, the Suncheon Army is still just a rabble after all. The kitten smiled disdainfully, "Let's attack the whole army!" ”

This time to march into Baoqing, not only the kitten's rock camp, Chen Jialuo's tiger camp, but also the big pillar that had just arrived in Baoqing, he took over more than 10,000 subordinates of Lu Yifan, and even his generals had not yet recognized all of them, so he led the army to follow.

"After leaving the Hulu Valley, I will attack from the left flank, General Chen's tiger battalion will attack from the right flank, Dazhu, you will respond from the back and intercept and kill the scattered Shuntian army." Kitten arranged.

Everyone has nothing to say about this arrangement, Kitten's Rock Battalion has the fewest people, only 2,500 people, but it is the strongest in combat effectiveness, Chen Jialuo's Tiger Battalion has 5,000 people, although the combat effectiveness is slightly weaker than Kitten's Rock Battalion, but the number is more than double. Dazhu's army has the most people, but it is basically the Shuntian army, and the combat effectiveness is worrying, especially if they will miss the old feelings and let the enemy go, let them drag them to the end, also just in case.

Looking up at the sky, the kitten said, "The brothers are in a hurry all the way, and they are all tired, so let's rest for a while and eat something." Wait until it's completely dark before attacking! Set off at the second watch and arrive at Baoqing Port, almost the third watch, which is the best time for a raid. ”

The soldiers of the two units that were about to take the lead in the attack sat down one after another, took out the frozen cakes from the small leather bags they carried, opened them, crumpled them, stuffed them into their mouths, and then took off the gourd with water in their waists and drank a sip of water, washed down the dough cakes, and ate a little in a hurry.

Dazhu did not rest, and began to carry the corpses piled up in the mouth of the gourd with his troops, although he was a general, but Dazhu did not command, but after giving the order, he started with his officers and soldiers. When he first arrived here, he wanted to integrate with the soldiers faster, and wanted to let the soldiers accept him as a superior earlier, and the best way was to mingle with them as soon as possible.

Sharing weal and woe is undoubtedly the best way.

The combat effectiveness of this army is worrying, in this march, it has been undoubtedly exposed, the speed of the march alone, by the front two battalions stretched a large part, up to now, there is still a small half of the people have not caught up, Dazhu had to send officers along the way to take in those soldiers who have fallen behind.

Dazhu visually observed that when this war is over, when he is reorganizing the troops, he must at least eliminate half of the men and horses, and then conduct at least several months of devil training in order to improve substantially. As for combat experience, this unit is not lacking, but it lacks the experience of fighting against the wind, since joining the Taiping Army, they seem to have been smooth sailing, but this is also a helpless thing, a troop's tenacity, willpower, it is impossible to cultivate in a short period of time, or when the reorganization is carried out, find some of the most basic sentry commanders and captains in the brother troops, and there will be substantial improvements.

Da Zhu used to be Qin Feng's personal guard commander, so he naturally knew a lot of secrets that the generals outside did not know, next year, it will be a crucial year for the Taiping Army, and there will definitely be countless battles to be fought, Da Zhu doesn't want his troops to fall off the chain at that time, and it is not only his own face that will be lost, but also Qin Feng's face. I have served as the commander of General Qin's personal troops.

This time, the new battalion is not only his own, Lu Feng's miner battalion has also officially entered the ranks of the field army, Dazhu has seen this army, Lu Feng has an innate advantage when he is training, among the tens of thousands of miners, he picked out all of them are burly men, after more than half a year of brutal training, this 3,000-person miner battalion has extremely strong combat effectiveness.

Lu Feng's training methods are extremely cruel, the elimination rate is extremely high, in the Taiping Iron Mine, those prisoners serving prison sentences, in order to get rid of the identity of prisoners, become a soldier, the competition is also extremely strong, you must know that as long as you become a formal soldier, not only can you get rid of the identity of a criminal immediately, but also can get a good salary from now on, which is extremely attractive to those miners.

Dazhu didn't want his troops to be inferior to Lu Feng's miners' battalion at that time. When he carried a dead corpse to the side, his eyes swept around the snoring soldiers like a shuttle, and the big war was imminent, and those who could sleep so soundly were good soldiers!

Kitten and Chen Jialuo were squatting together at this time and whispering about the upcoming attack, but they didn't know that a guy next to them was beating the two of them.

In Baoqing Port, the fierce offensive and defensive battle of the day came to an end for the time being, the Shuntian army advanced a large section, and the area controlled by the Chu people shrank a lot, and the attacking Shuntian army had already seen the big boats floating on the water on the dock clearly, which made them more confident.

For them, or tomorrow, they can completely drive these damned Chu troops out into the sea. The confidence of the Shuntian army burst for a while, not to mention that the generals were all full of confidence, they were ordinary soldiers, and they were also elated, and their singing could be heard everywhere in the entire port area.

In the area controlled by the Chu army, on the tower where Jiang Tao was located, the generals of the Chu army gathered here, and it seemed that they were not too worried, and their faces were more puzzled. And Jiang Tao was even more relaxed.

"General, I can't figure it out, why do you let us retreat again, this retreat, our space for activity is even smaller. The point is, this will boost the morale of the enemy, and it will also deal a blow to our military morale, and everyone is thinking that we are going to go to sea and abandon Baoqing Port? Jiang Shangyan looked at Jiang Tao with a puzzled face. They gave up some areas during the day, not because they couldn't hold it, but because they took the initiative to retreat because of Jiang Tao's order.

Jiang Tao smiled and said: "I want to lead them deeper, the further inside, the more complicated the combat situation will be, with the quality of the soldiers of the Shuntian Army, it is easy to lose effective command, and more importantly, I am waiting for someone." Luring the Suncheon army into it will be more beneficial for our subsequent counterattack. ”

"Wait for someone?" All the generals in the room widened their eyes, they were in a foreign country, and there would be someone there to rescue them, and after a while, Jiang Shangyan said astringently: "General, you can't say that it is the Taiping Army of Baoxing, right?" ”

"Why not them?" Jiang Tao smiled and said authentically. "What a good opportunity to encircle and annihilate Moro, as long as they still have a little vision, they will not let go of such an opportunity."

"I think it's more likely that they're going to watch us fight the Suncheons and then they're going to pick up the bargain." Jiang Shangyan spread his hands.

"What's in it for them?" Jiang Tao laughed: "If we are destroyed, it will not benefit the Taiping army at all, and now, we are the bargaining chips in their hands, and they will point to us to bargain with the Qi people." ”

The sound of the third watch sounded outside, Jiang Tao stood up, pushed open the window, and the biting cold wind blew in, which lifted the spirits of everyone in the room, "Tomorrow, I will retreat a little inward, Mo Luo and his subordinates lack the necessary military common sense, and they can't even tell whether we take the initiative to give up or they force us to retreat, without Wu Xin, he doesn't have much of a threat above the military at all......" He suddenly stopped and looked at the night sky in the distance.

"General, what's wrong?"

"Come and see!" Jiang Tao pointed out the window, his voice trembling a little.

The generals rushed to the window and looked in the direction of Jiang Tao's finger, in the dark night sky, three fires were flying slowly towards the sea in the air.

It was a shell made of very thin paper, and a candle was lit inside, which allowed the lantern to fly into the sky, and three flames rotated regularly in the air. Turning forward for a while, then reversing for a while, as the wind slowly flew towards the sea.

This is the means of communication often used by the Chu army in night battles, and it is not difficult to make this kind of lantern, but it is even more difficult to make this kind of lantern that is connected together and rotates regularly.

"Zhang Xiaozheng is here!" Jiang Tao turned his head with a smile on his face, the kitten was once the commander of the wind-chasing battalion of the western border army of Chu State, with 3,000 soldiers under his command, and he naturally understood this means of communication.

"Pass my order, prepare immediately, and launch a counterattack!" (To be continued.) )
