Chapter 631: Night Attack on the Taiping Army

Soon it was already dark, and Liu Yukun led the Taiping army to rush nearly 100 miles again in two days, and there were less than 100 miles away, and it only took two to three days to complete.

It's just that now it's completely dark, and there are still twelve or thirteen miles away from the county seat of Qixian County, although these distances are not far, but for the current Taiping Army, it is also an insurmountable distance, too tired, too tired.

Liu Yukun was also full of exhaustion, and said in a low voice: "Send an order to all departments, camp on the spot and rest, enter the county seat of Qixian County tomorrow, and let's have a good meal!" ”

The Taiping army camped on the spot, Liu Yukun assigned various departments to guard, and the rest of the departments that had no tasks began to bury pots and cook and prepare to rest.

It didn't take long, it wasn't ten o'clock in the evening, the whole camp had fallen silent, none of the Taiping soldiers were willing to stand up, they were already asleep, that is, several teams of patrolling soldiers, still barely supporting, yes, obviously dozing one after another, if it was the second half of the night, I was afraid that I would also have to sleep!

The situation of the Taiping Army had already been reported to Yan Chunyu by the people of the reconnaissance company.

Yan Chunyu is jumping with excitement now, twenty or thirty thousand people, all of them have slept like dead pigs, there are only two or three patrol teams in the huge camp, this is a godsend, it is time for me Yan Chunyu to make meritorious contributions!

It's just, how to fight this battle?

Yan Chunyu knew very well in his heart that small fish and shrimp were not valuable, and he could let go of a horse, but he couldn't let go of any big fish, and now was the time to test his ability to control the battle.

How to control it?

Naturally, it was first heavily damaged, and then it was forced to land directly with absolute force.

"Zhang Botao, led the second and third battalions of the cavalry training army, attacking from the front; Xu Ruqiang, who led the first cavalry battalion and the second cavalry battalion in Shandong, detoured back to the back of the Taiping army and cut off their rear roads; Xu Dai, led the third battalion of cavalry and the fourth battalion of cavalry in Shandong, surrounded the two wings of the Taiping army, remember, advance lightly, and then launch a surprise attack when you are in front of you, don't alarm the Taiping army too early! ”

Yan Chunyu's face was a little solemn, and he gave the order to attack.

In one breath, Yan Chunyu mobilized seven cavalry battalions and launched an attack on the Taiping army, leaving only one cavalry battalion by his side.

Seven battalions have been ordered to touch in the direction of the Taiping Army, and now the Taiping Army has already been like a dead pig, even the most elite Taiping Army has been tired and vomiting blood after such a long journey, not to mention that this is only the Taiping Army in Henan, it is a partial division, and the combat power is average, and it can't be supported.

On the front, Zhang Botao led two battalions of cavalry to touch the distance less than two miles away from the Taiping army in one breath, hundreds of meters, as long as, for the cavalry, it can be reached in the blink of an eye.

The time is ripe!

Zhang Botao did not rush to attack, paused in place for almost a moment, and waved his big hand instead of the order to attack. Nearly a thousand cavalry rushed forward together, like a raging wind and waves, the sound of hurried horses' hooves shook the four fields, and the horses neighed wildly!

In the blink of an eye, the two battalions of cavalry of the training army have arrived in front of the Taiping army, and the Taiping army at this time woke up from the dream, it is really too tired, it stands to reason that the distance of two miles, so close, even if the war horse is quiet, it can't hide the shaking of the earth, but these people in the Taiping army didn't notice it at all, and they all slept like dead pigs!

Before the Taiping army woke up from their sleep, a group of cavalry had already rushed to the front, and the sabers flashing in the starry sky were flying quickly and slashing towards everyone.

The Taiping army was still confused, and some were even rubbing their eyes vigorously, and their heads had been cut off by the saber, and in an instant, the entire camp began to be filled with an extremely exciting smell of blood, not only that, but the terrible screams shook the universe and stirred the cavalry's belligerent nerves to the limit!

Liu Yukun also came to his senses at this time, descendant? It's still more than a hundred miles away from Kaifeng Mansion, how can it be possible to encounter a descendant?

However, Liu Yukun can't control so much, and the most important thing is to fight!

"Come, fight, fight immediately!"

Liu Yukun roared.

Groups of Taiping soldiers got up from the ground, dressed in a panic, looking for their swords, guns, swords, and halberds.

Liu Yukun had not yet organized a team to respond to the battle, and fierce gunfire was heard on the positions on both wings, and the two cavalry battalions of the three towns of Shandong pierced diagonally from the two wings, and in less than a stick of incense, the camp of the Taiping army was cut into two sections!

The whole camp seemed to be boiling, the Taiping army was a fly without a head, scurrying around, dodging the cavalry's sabers and cold guns, the fatigue of the march for days made these Taiping soldiers sore, where is the strength and spirit to shake the opponent? Even in their heyday, they are definitely not the opponents of the cavalry training army and the three towns of Shandong!

Liu Yukun was so anxious that he stomped his feet and roared angrily, but now that each department was fighting on its own, it was beaten by the cavalry that was rushing around, and it was impossible to organize an orderly attack at all.

Liu Yukun was in a hurry, jumped directly on a war horse, waved the saber in his hand, and began to command the troops around him to fight with the cavalry, although it is now the middle of the night, but Liu Yukun is too conspicuous, the cavalry in the Taiping army is pitiful, only one hundred and eighty cavalry, Liu Yukun is not a cavalry around, he boarded the war horse, naturally it is convenient for him to command, but he abruptly stood in place to command, that is the most conspicuous target, isn't this the old birthday star raised? I'm tired of living!

In the distance, Zhang Botao saw clearly, well, riding a war horse to command the battle, he must be a general, kill him first!

Zhang Botao took off the carbine from his back, quickly loaded the bullet, aimed, and shot!

Bang! Bang! Bang......

For the sake of insurance, Zhang Botao shot out all the bullets in the magazine in one go, none of them missed, and all of them hit Liu Yukun's body.

Liu Yukun looked at his body with difficulty, his face was full of disbelief, only to see that there were four more blood holes in his chest, blood bubbling outward, four shots, two shots hit the heart, one shot hit the lungs, in this era, it is absolutely dead and can no longer die!

Liu Yukun's body shook twice on the war horse, and he was planted off the war horse and died!
