Chapter 399 Tang Sanshui defected?

"What's going on? What's the way the thief scholar plays?"

The Taiping Army suddenly advanced with four formations, without temptation or vanguard, and directly pressed up with the four formations together. This kind of fighting style was unheard of, which shocked the Qing generals all stunned.

Kong Guozhi was also stunned. He originally wanted to lead his troops to attack the Taiping Army's left formation, but now the four Taiping Army formations are coming out together. It is not that he is going to attack the Taiping Army, but that the Taiping Army is coming to attack him.

Kong Guozhi did not expect the Taiping Army to fight like this, and as soon as he came up, he had everything, without leaving any backhand, and he couldn't help but lose his position. If the Taiping Army did not fight according to the rules, his Nangan soldiers immediately became the target of the four Taiping Army's joint attack.

"Damn it's such a thief scholar!"

Seeing that the Taiping Army was about to approach its own team, Kong Guozhi immediately made a decision and knew that he could not retreat, otherwise his Nangan soldiers would likely become defeated soldiers.

"Calendar with me!"

Kong Guozhi rushed up to the Taiping Army in front of him with his personal soldiers carrying his general flag.

Seeing the general leading the army, the soldiers of the Nangan Green Camp also came to their senses, quickly gathered together, and rushed towards the Taiping Army with the general's banner.

Kong Guozhi stared at the junction of the Taiping Army formations in front of him, thinking about rushing in from there, but before he could get closer, he heard the Taiping Army generals shouting. Soon, countless muskets were fired in the Taiping Army formation. With the sound of guns, dozens of Qing soldiers fell to the ground.

"Run, keep rushing!"

There was no one who could not die when rushing to the battlefield. Kong Guozhi didn't care about the casualties of dozens of people. He raised his arms and shouted that his personal soldiers would rush into the Taiping Army formation regardless of everything.

During the charge, two crossbow arrows shot on Kong Guozhi, but were bounced off by the armor on his body, not hurting Kong Guozhi at all.

The Taiping Army cavalry also roared and killed them. The Taiping Army who rushed in the front had no idea where they got their skills, but they immediately shot their cavalry bows.

Ban Zhifu led more than 200 cavalry to fight with the Taiping cavalry. The two sides killed each other. They thought that the Taiping cavalry were all mobs with poor cavalry skills. However, when they fought, Ban Zhifu's men lost half. When they heard the Manzhou dialect that the other party shouted, the Qing army was like a mouse seeing a cat. The morale was not high and they immediately became timid and the man in Manzhou surrendered the Taiping army, and they even fucked!

Ban Zhifu saw that the three formations of the Taiping Army were about to encircle Kong Guozhi. In a hurry, he led the cavalry to follow him, but only a few dozen people were willing to follow him, and the others were hesitant, which showed that their fear of the Manzhou soldiers was overwhelming their rationality.

Among the Taiping cavalry, there were Han troops under the Pingnan vassal state. When they saw the people led by the commander Ban Zhifu, they were still there. They shouted in the formation that the other party wanted to join him quickly. Although they were not really listening to the other party's shouting, the people's hearts were fluctuating, and they could not raise their fighting spirit. Ban Zhifu could not hold back his subordinates, and knew that they could not restrain the Taiping cavalry. If they delayed, they could not escape. They had to lead the people to retreat.

Seeing that Kong Guozhi's troops were about to fall into the encirclement of the Taiping Army, Ban Zhifu's cavalry could not stop the Taiping Army's cavalry. In desperation, he hurriedly ordered Yingde General Song Rui, Nanxiong Deputy General Sun Yi, Zhaoqing Deputy General Tang Sanshui and other troops to immediately come forward to support and block the Taiping Army no matter what.

Song Rui and others knew that the Taiping Army must not be allowed to eat Kong Guozhi's troops, otherwise they would die without a place to die. At that moment, they each yelled their horns and led their subordinates to rush up. There is no formation to pay attention to in this battle. They fight hard and rush up and kill all the time. Whoever has the most life left will win!

Tang Sanshui also ordered his personal soldiers to carry the banner and rushed forward bravely with more than 2,000 Zhaoqing camp soldiers. However, Deputy General Tang's troops were slower than Nanxiong and Yingde soldiers. Deputy General Tang turned around and looked back while moving forward, but he didn't know what to do.

Seeing that Tang Sanshui was slow, Shang Zhixin was furious, but he could only watch. As long as Tang Sanshui moved forward instead of turning around and running away, the prince would burn the incense!

After Ban Zhifu led the remaining cavalry back, the Kong Guozhi army was half surrounded by the Taiping infantry on the battlefield. Amid the shouts of killing, the Taiping cavalry protruded from the Kong Guozhi army and advanced from time to time.

Faced with the attack of the Taiping Army several times its own troops, coupled with the piercing of the cavalry, the southern Gan Army was unstable. Kong Guozhi saw Shang Keyuan during the war, and the other party also saw him, but it was not as good as his nephew Shang Zhixin said. He did not really work for the thief scholar, but instead led his Pingnan Han army to continuously advance towards Kong Guozhi's headquarters.

Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao and the Han army under Kong Youde's vassal were originally soldiers who used firearms. Most of the officers were trained by Sun Yuanhua, the governor of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, they have always attached importance to firearms and are also fully firearmed troops. Although the Han army under the vassal are now a new generation, the emphasis on firearms by the vassal still makes these new Han army more proficient in firearms than the right battalion of the Taiping Army's infantry army.

The Taiping Army fought several times with the Han army under the two vassals, either occupying more people and bullying few people, or relying on the geographical advantage to make their firearms difficult to use, so they won. If the two armies were tied up to fight, even if there were ten Zhou Shixiang, they would not be able to save the Taiping Army. After all, the Taiping Army was formed for too short, the quality of the soldiers was too low, and he did not have the conditions to improve the firearms, which led to the two sides now taking the same weapons and fighting evenly, so they naturally had more defeats and fewer defeats.

Fortunately, the addition of a large number of surrendered Han troops has improved the Taiping Army's firearm training and tactical exercises. This has performed very well in the two great victories of Lutouhe. However, even so, if the Taiping Army had not suddenly attacked Guangzhou and caught the Han Niulu Han army off guard by the Pingnan Fan in the city, it might not have been possible to capture Guangzhou in one fell swoop.

Most of the Han army was killed, and the remaining Han army under the Pingnan vassals were held in the hands of the Taiping Army, and they were forced to attack the city by the Taiping Army, slaughtering a lot of Manchu people. The blood of Manchu people on their hands was enough to make them beaten by the Qing court a hundred times. Therefore, it was not as unwilling to work hard for the Taiping Army as Shang Zhixin thought, just like Su Na and other Manchu soldiers. At this time, there was only one thought that the stronger the Taiping Army, the longer their lives could be.

The same was true for the Han army in the Jingnan vassal states. Their princes surrendered to the Taiping Army, let alone them. With the slight training of the Taiping Army officers, these Han army, who were skilled in using firearms, used segmented shooting even stronger than the Taiping Army, and the reloading speed of guns was much faster.

Under the shooting of Han munitions under the vassal state and the slaughter of Manchu and Han cavalry, the soldiers in the South Gan area could not bear it, and hundreds of casualties were killed or killed.

Seeing that his subordinates suffered heavy casualties, the Taiping Army surrounded him and fought again. Song Rui and the others had not yet supported him, and were worried that they would be eaten by the Taiping Army if Song Rui and the others could not wait for him to come up. He intended to retreat, but before he could order to retreat, Song Rui and the others retreated at the same time. After seeing again, the Zhaoqing Green Camp on the right had already run back, not running away, but was killed in the direction where Shang Zhixin was.
