Chapter 0126 Fighting Wisdom and Bravery

On the night of the storm of the wind and dark moon, the Taiping Army, hiding in the mountains and forests near Xi'an County, crawled out of their respective hideout pits, then found the hidden horse pit, took out the war horses, and gathered at the designated location.

This is an elite cavalry of the Taiping Army with a scale of 3,000 people. Under the tent of the Northern King Wei Changhui, it is the Prince's Guard. He rarely participates in battles, but the members are selected from the combat troops and are among the elite of the Taiping Army.

In order to avenge, Wei Changhui finally used his private guard team, which was planned by Mr. Liao, and wanted to severely damage Li Weiguo's main force of the Shanghai army.

"Report to General Qin, all the soldiers of the Iron Bear Camp have been prepared. Please order the general if they launch an attack."

In the event of the deputy general, Qin Rilie nodded and said, "Tonight, we will avenge the 15,000 Taiping brothers who were killed in Meiling. We will definitely kill the guy Li Weiguo and the 20,000 Shanghai troops around him to comfort the brothers' spirit in heaven."

The deputy general immediately said: "Please order the last general to take the lead."

Qin Rilie said: "Before the operation, His Highness of the Northern King and Mr. Liao repeatedly reminded General Yu that Li Weiguo was insidious and cunning. He always went to steal other people's camps and would definitely take strict precautions against his own camps. Therefore, Deputy General Liu, you will take a thousand troops from the south to launch an attack on the Shanghai Army's camp. Once you encounter the main force of the Shanghai Army's counterattack, remember not to fight and retreat quickly. I will take you back."

Deputy General Liu took the order, but he still wanted to ask clearly.

Qin Rilie then explained to him that although the Northern King Wei Changhui had made a plan to attack the Shanghai Army camp at night, Mr. Liao had far-sighted and expected that Li Weiguo would definitely be prepared, so he formulated a second night attack plan.

The so-called second night attack plan is to let Qin Rilie send people to rob the Shanghai army camp first. If the Shanghai army is not prepared, it is better to directly break the Shanghai army camp to win. If the Shanghai army is prepared, it will quickly evacuate. The Shanghai army will repel the Taiping Army and rob the camp once, and will relax its vigilance and think that the Taiping Army will not dare to come to rob the camp again. Therefore, Qin Rilie will catch the Shanghai army off guard and will definitely win.

Mr. Liao was well versed in military tactics, and Qin Rilie admired him very much. Therefore, he firmly implemented Mr. Liao's plan.

Deputy General Liu understood and felt at ease. He immediately led a thousand elite cavalry to sneak into the Shanghai Army camp.

The Taiping Army traveled lightly and simply, wearing the armor inside, using its outer clothes to block the sound of the armor. The war horse bit the chewing head and wrapped the horse's hooves with grey cloth to minimize the sound.

It was pitch dark, there was no moon, and the stars were hidden in the dark clouds, which was the perfect weather for sneak attacks.

Soon, Deputy General Liu led a thousand iron cavalry to the vicinity of the Shanghai Army's East Gate Camp. Seeing that the Shanghai Army's guard was loose, Deputy General Liu was immediately overjoyed.

"Brothers, the time for revenge is here, rush for me."

"kill"

"kill"

The war horses neighed and ran forward.

There were shouts of killing everywhere, venting hatred.

The earthquake trembled, and the sentries of the Shanghai Army were panicked and shouted in a hurry.

"Enemy attack"

"Enemy attack"

The loud police buzzed, and the entire Shanghai army camp suddenly became chaotic. The officers and soldiers ran back and forth and shouted, looking like they could not find the generals or the generals.

Bang bang bang

When approaching the Shanghai Army camp, the Shanghai soldiers on the village wall raised their guns and opened fire.

A Taiping Army who was rushing to the front was shot and dropped. Then another Taiping Army horse was frightened and knocked down the Taiping Army soldiers on the horse.

However, this cannot stop the Taiping Army's rapid offensive.

This is an elite cavalry of the Taiping Army. They launched a night attack and were already very close to the camp of the Shanghai Army. Now the horses accelerated. In the blink of an eye, they rushed to the bottom of the Shanghai Army camp.

Although the Shanghai soldiers in the camp fired timely to stop it, unfortunately the weakness of the borehole musket was exposed at this moment, and only one shot was fired. Before the second shot was loaded, the Taiping Army's cavalry came closer.

"Shooting the Arrow"

Deputy General Liu gave the order. The Taiping cavalry quickly bent their bows and arrows, and with the help of the horse speed in the galloping, they easily shot the arrows into the camp.

Whoosh swosh swosh

Countless arrows broke through the air and shot into the giant trees in the camp, making a sound of douduo. The unexpected Shanghai soldiers were all caught in arrows and fell from above the camp.

After two rounds of bows and arrows were fired volleys, the Taiping cavalry quickly suppressed the firepower of the Shanghai army above the camp.

"Iron Hook Preparation"

"throw"

Deputy General Liu gave the order, and saw three hundred Taiping cavalry quickly swung their arms, threw the huge iron hook onto the Shanghai army camp, and hooked the wooden stakes on it.

"pull"

Everyone shouted in unison, and the three hundred Taiping cavalry quickly plucked the horses and forced the Shanghai army camp with horsepower.

Crack and bang

The Shanghai Army camp was originally a temporary establishment. It was relatively simple and could not be buried deep. In the blink of an eye, it was broken by an iron hook. The large wall of the camp collapsed, revealing a defensive gap.

"Run for me"

Deputy General Liu shouted loudly and rushed in from the gap in the Shanghai army camp. A thousand Taiping cavalry followed closely behind and rushed in with a scream.

"kill"

Deputy General Liu led a thousand Taiping cavalry into the Shanghai Army camp, slashing left and right, killing people when they see them, and throwing torches when they see them, burning them when they see them, which looks very satisfying.

However, when Deputy General Liu led his army to break through the outer camp and penetrated into the Shanghai Army camp, he suddenly found that fewer and fewer Shanghai soldiers were running around, and the last one disappeared, leaving a large area for him.

Deputy General Liu suddenly felt something was wrong. At this moment, he heard the unique military trumpet of the Shanghai Army sounded, and then the drums and music were named. A dense wall of human beings suddenly appeared around him, and guns stabbed like a forest.

"Not good, I've been trapped"

"General Qin is indeed as expected. We are ambushed among us, retreat quickly."

Vice General Liu experienced many battles and realized that he was ambushed and immediately ordered to retreat.

At this moment, a commander of the Shanghai Army in the Shanghai Army sneered and said, "Our Shanghai Army camp is not something you can leave whenever you want to come. Since you are here, stay all of them."

"Open Fire"

With a command, the Shanghai soldiers immediately raised their guns and opened fire.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang

In an instant, the muzzle fire spurted, and a projectile shot towards the enemy, densely filled with rain.

Dingdang puff

The projectile hit the armor of the enemy soldiers at high speed, and suddenly made a jingle of metal hit. Some directly hit the enemy's flesh and blood, which immediately caused the enemy to feel extremely painful and screamed. The mild ones lay down on their horses, and the severe ones fell off their horses.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people were knocked down by Deputy General Liu. If it weren't for their horses running, and the accuracy of the Shanghai Army's muskets was insufficient and the visibility at night was less than ten meters, I'm afraid that this round of guns would have fallen down at least seven or eight hundred people.

Despite this, Deputy General Liu could not bear such huge casualties. Seeing the hundreds of brothers falling down, his heart was astrayed, regretting not to listen to Qin Rilie's words and was ambushed by the Shanghai Army.

Of course, the ambush among Deputy General Liu was not deep. He led the remaining five or six hundred cavalry to rush out before the Shanghai army surrounded. The Shanghai army did not pursue, which made Deputy General Liu finally reunited with Qin Rilie who came to meet him.

"General Qin, the last general is incompetent and was ambushed by the Shanghai Army. Please punish General Qin severely."

Seeing Deputy General Liu apologizing, Qin Rilie frowned immediately. He was angry that Deputy General Liu did not listen to the order, so he asked: "What's the situation inside? How many people have been broken?"

Deputy General Liu explained: "It was indeed not as expected by General Qin. The Shanghai army was indeed prepared. The camp was loose on the outside and tight on the inside. The last general was trapped and rushed into the Shanghai army camp. As a result, he encountered thousands of main forces of the Shanghai army who had been waiting for the battle, and nearly four hundred brothers were defeated."

Four hundred Iron Bear Cavalry, these are the elite among the elite

Qin Rilie gritted his teeth and really wanted to punish Deputy General Liu severely immediately. However, it was the time to use people. Deputy General Liu has always been brave. The next stolen camp depends on him. So Qin Rilie suppressed his anger and said, "You don't listen to this general's order, resulting in such great casualties. I will remember it for you first, and then liquidate in the future. We will continue to steal the camp next. I hope you can make the merits and commit crimes."

"Thank you, General. I beg you to be the pioneer again." Deputy General Liu hurriedly thanked and asked Qin Rilie again to be the pioneer.

Qin Rilie had no vanguard general who replaced Deputy General Liu, so he nodded in agreement.

At this time, the Shanghai army did not pursue the enemy.

Qin Rilie was a little disappointed. He wanted to take advantage of the Shanghai army's pursuit and the Shanghai army was nearby, but the Shanghai army was cunning and did not pursue, which made Qin Rilie's plan fail.

However, Qin Rilie was still full of confidence. He believed that after the Shanghai army repelled the Taiping Army and robbed the camp once, he would be relaxed. He would definitely not have expected that the Taiping Army would rob the camp again.

"The whole army rests for two hours and then sets off"

Just as Qin Rilie was preparing to rob the camp again, Zhang Xiaoliu called an officer in the uniform of the Shanghai Army's ten thousand men.

When the man in the uniform of the ten thousand-man commander of the Shanghai Army saw Zhang Xiaoliu, he immediately fell to the ground and bowed: "The little man sees General Zhang."

Zhang Xiaoliu smiled and said, "Okay, Wang Liang, get up quickly. Our Shanghai army only performs the bowing ceremony stipulated by the court in front of outsiders. Within the Shanghai army, there is no need to kneel down, just a military salute."

The man named Wang Liang immediately stood up and asked weakly: "Do you dare to ask General Zhang what military salute?"

Zhang Xiaoliudao: "You have just joined the Shanghai Army for a few days. You need to learn a lot of things. In the future, I will naturally teach you a task. If you can complete it, you will be the real commander of the Shanghai Army."

Wang Liang hurriedly said: "Please tell me, the villain will do his best to complete it."

Zhang Xiaoliu then said: "The rebels raided our camp just now. Although we were prepared to repel them, it was impolite to come and not go. I am going to lead the army to sneak attack the rebel camp. Therefore, after I leave, all the affairs in this camp will be handed over to you. Maybe you can do it well?"

Wang Liang was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly said, "General, don't worry, the villain must take care of the camp, kill pigs and sheep, and prepare to reward the general's army for returning triumphantly."

Zhang Xiaoliu immediately smiled and said, "This is the best. You are a talented person. If you do it well, I will definitely give you a few good words in front of our adults."

"Thank you General Zhang" Wang Liang hurriedly thanked.

Zhang Xiaoliu nodded and thought to himself: I hope you can live until that time.

It turned out that Wang Liang was a laborer captured in the Battle of Meiling. He was originally transporting supplies to the Taiping Army. However, after discussing with Li Weiguo and Wu Yong and Chen Jingnan, they decided to temporarily recruit the Shanghai army, put them in the uniforms of the Shanghai army, and head to Xi'an County. In fact, only 5,000 Shanghai troops outside Xi'an County were the real elites of the Shanghai army, and the remaining 15,000 Shanghai troops were all the "new recruits" of these temporary recruits.

Another 15,000 real elite Shanghai troops were lurking outside, waiting for Wei Changhui's three thousand iron cavalry to appear, and then surrounded and annihilate them.

For Li Weiguo, he either doesn't do it, and does it as a matter of doing it. He doesn't beat Wei Changhui to death and be disabled. It is definitely not Li Weiguo's character. It will not be continued.
