Chapter 1028: The Captive Array is Refined and Strong (2)
Compared with the war in Guanzhong, a battle is about to break out on the southeast coast of the five directions of Tianzhu, thousands of miles away from the sea of Guangzhou. The root of this war is one of the chain reactions caused by the Taiping Army in order to penetrate and grasp the origin of Tianzhu nucleus soil.
However, the two sides of the confrontation this time were the restoration army, which was the remnants of the Polo dynasty, and the traitor coalition from the homeland of the Polo dynasty; among them, the main force and leader of the traitor coalition was the Anchinash clan, who was once the largest noble and the relative of the gentry, who was also a relative of the lineage.
Most of the soldiers on the left and right wings of the traitor coalition did not have uniform clothing and weapons. Many of them were barefoot and exposed with dirty cloth, holding rust knives, fork handles, wooden spears and other objects, guiding and distinguishing the camps with chaotic flag colors.
The Anchen Nash clan in the center is much brighter and neat. Not only does it have a unified three-color cloth shirt and leather armor on the chest, but it also uses colorful cloth belts to wrap around the spearhead as a guide; the most elite of them are wearing bright-colored chain mail and helmets, holding curved sharp knives and foreskin rattan cards.
In addition, after the array of crowds, there were even a dozen elephants vaguely; and it was not the ordinary elephant used for daily riding and transportation, but the body was covered with rattan armor and felt, the nose was wrapped in thick cloth covers, and the saddle was standing with a standard battle elephant with a spearhead and a short archer.
In the ground formation, there are many ox carts with different sizes and gold and silver treasures, colorful silk and crank covers hanging down, as well as multi-person chariots with strange shapes around them with wheel cones and blade edges. A golden flame-shaped banner and colorful flag represent a prominent identity second only to the former royal family.
At this time, as the last Buddhist country of the five directions, the sea-running trade, and the prosperous agricultural output of the ancestral land of the Goweri Valley, the Polo dynasty, which was once prosperous, was encountered a bad luck that the capital was captured by the enemy's country, and most of the royal families died. Therefore, now it is the chaos of a large number of land falling and the chaotic situation of separating all over the land.
In the end, there was only a humble prince named Zhedina who was born to a dowry daughter. He was lucky enough to escape and fled to Annan by sea to settle down. He wanted to become a monk who had realized his enlightenment on the spot, but by chance he was brought out by local monks and received help and support from the Taiping Army Grand Governor's Office from the East.
Therefore, a year ago, the Polo prince Zedina also completed the throne ceremony in the port city of Tamruk (now Tamruk, Bangladesh) and was renamed Pamodi III. The first thing he did when he ascended the throne and began to restore the country was to gradually attack several small kings and vassals near the port city, and won consecutive victories in the first battle.
Therefore, under the name of this new king, it has become a force with nine cities, more than 40 towns and communities/territorial territories; it is accompanied by 5,000 local soldiers; but this has also attracted the counterattack and hostility of the princes in the country. Therefore, this time, the Anqinash family took the lead and gathered nearly 20,000 coalition forces to attack.
Therefore, opposite are several square arrays of different sizes, but they all hold Bayeous flags representing the Polo royal family. The sources are also different, but the only common point is that they are all armed with the arms provided by the Grand Governor's Office and transported from all over the place.
Among them, the most neat and ingenious one was the Guangfu Yicong led by Guoyi Duwei Andun. There were about a thousand strong soldiers with complete military equipment in three regiments. The Tuyi recruited in Annan and Lingxi and the children of mountain people were the source of troops; among them, there were senior soldiers who retreated from the Taiping Army and soldiers trained by the offshore inspection department.
Anton was originally a "Hu Zi" left by foreign vassals and merchants in the Cantonese philosophers. He was the most humble bastard who lived on the streets shortly after he was born. After experiencing hardships, he finally survived the middle-aged man, so the foreign Huang Chao army was willing to accept them and organized them into a camp to drive them to the front.
After many casualties, a small number of people survived and became members of the Cantonese patrol team. It happened that the Guangzhou incident occurred and became a prisoner of the Taiping Army overnight. In the end, the Grand Governor pardoned and retained the poor people, allowing them to use them to live in the world with dignity.
Andon was undoubtedly the representative of gratitude during the period and was the most loyal and dedicated representative of serving the Grand Governor. Therefore, after the former leader of the foreign trade group's escort armed forces, "Fei Kong", led a group of troops north to become the chief clerk of Wenzhou; as the deputy, he was also promoted and succeeded as the exclusive armed person in charge of foreign trade and development careers, and escort.
Standing in front of the left formation was Nan Qiyun, the former leader of the rebel army, who was also called "Nanshan Bandit".
As the leaders of the leaders who were willing to join forces and strongholds during the rise of the Taiping Army, and took their wealth to the south to become the chiefs of the Imperial Palace. Afterwards, the Grand Governor's Office did not deliberately target and exploit them, but instead pointed out a way to make a living for overseas trade and expansion.
Therefore, after dealing with a group of restless people in the initial mutiny in the Cantonese, Nan Qiyun received a disguised reward because of his proper performance in this incident - the qualification to lead his subordinates to participate in this round of overseas expansion activities.
However, he felt that his capital was limited and he wanted more, so he simply took this share as a reason to allow those former leaders of the rebel army who were rich and wealthy families to contribute corresponding money, manpower and materials, and use this as a joint stock to share the benefits.
Therefore, now, these wealthy apartment owners can take advantage of their own profits or enjoy a stable share of their own shares; therefore, anyone who wants to disrupt Canton and ruin the maritime trade business is undoubtedly their despised enemy.
Their children, tribesmen and troops also used their spare energy and enjoyed the share of the spoils in this large-scale external expansion activity. Therefore, the initial expansion army that tens of thousands of people crossed the sea accounted for more than one-third; and the leader of the Southern Qi Yunma, who was personally leading the battle, was followed.
Of course, because the financial and material resources they have are uneven, the corresponding equipment is also messy, but at least it can ensure that everyone has a leather sheath or a stacked paper armor, and at the least it is also a steel machete or a standard iron cone gun.
Moreover, because most of them are from the rebels who are poorly equipped and fight with officials, they are more adept at fighting in complex and narrow environments, and even rely on these messy equipment to tacitly engage in battles and fights.
Living on the right side of the Guangzhou Yi is the private escort force sponsored and supported by those maritime aristocratic families with great families. After the Taiping Army gradually showed control over the sea route, these forces that were not allowed to be on the surface became a burden and trouble in a sense; therefore, participating in the recruitment was also a more suitable way out.
In addition, there are salt owls, private dealers and Xu people who were active between the nearshore and inland but had to go ashore to seek survival and redeem themselves under the suppression and purge of the Taiping Navy. They participated in this recruitment with their families and their families, which was their way to whitewash them.
Among them, some monks wearing dark clothes such as black and brown were mixed with products and sequelae of the Taiping Army rectified the jungle of the two ridges. After the number of temples and proportion of monks was limited; naturally, a large number of monks and nuns who did not meet the requirements of the Qing Dynasty were forced to return to secular life and the place was confiscated.
Among them, as one of the ways out for the extra monks outside the normal organization, they followed the overseas recruitment and merchant ships to spread and spread the essence of Buddhism after the land reform in Dongdao. In a sense, reviving such a fruitful and remaining Buddhist country has great significance and achievements for them.
Therefore, it is divided into two types and development routes: Dharma protector (martial) monks and scholars (teacher) monks. But no matter what, as long as they can develop and build a temple, they will naturally have the establishment and recognition of their origins.
Therefore, surrounded by these guardian monks and scholars, they were sitting in a specially transformed lacquer treasure car, and they were the nominal leader of this decisive battle - Pamodi III.
In addition, in the last period, the Indian Zhuangwang (cannon fodder) selected by the local soldiers recruited and recruited by the local soldiers, "selecting the tallest among the dwarfs"; the only purpose of appearing here is to shake flags and shout to boost momentum, and at the same time feel the atmosphere of the battlefield to prepare for the formation. However, the total number in front and behind is only half of the opponent's.
Therefore, the current situation of the match will inevitably present a certain sense of Tian Ji horse racing mode; this is also the battle mode of most state rulers in most of the lands. Because they basically don’t know what power and opportunity have changed, they mostly set up a dignified match in the open space to think of the decisive victory, otherwise they would retreat to the city and defend it blindly at a disadvantage.
Therefore, Nan Qiyun and his brothers were always able to take different countermeasures and means in various battles; they were able to easily adopt different countermeasures and means to cooperate with the various combat needs of Guangfu Yicong, and this time was obviously no exception.
Then, in front of the smoke and dust that was slowly advancing the enemy formation, a group of Yicong crossbowmen standing in front of the formation began to take the lead in the call of orders to raise their powerful crossbows and shoot arrows; hundreds of arrow rains flying all over the sky instantly baptized the coalition of traitors.
It was like mowed grass, carrying countless splashes of blood, which penetrated through the front row of coalition soldiers' bodies lacking protection. Suddenly, among the enemy formations that were slowly advancing, there were a lot of crying and screaming, and the bloody gap of the corpse was crossing the pillow.
So in a moment, the wings of the traitor coalition, which had become much more sparse, began to shake and confuse, and the Anqinash soldiers in the middle stopped independently; the archers who caught up from behind shot out a scattered arrow, but most of them fell on the mud in front of the Fuguo Army.
Seeing this for a moment, the Restoration Army couldn't help but shout with great morale. The next moment, the formation of people on the left and right wings, amid the sound of the golden plates urging to promote the attack, rushed forward in turn and into the gaps of the enemy formations that were scattered hundreds of steps away, amid the sound of the attacking of the golden plates.
However, when they took advantage of the situation and slashed and killed each other in the dust of melee, they suddenly had a blank look in front of them again, and a dozen giants with claws and claws appearing in the smoke and dust in front of them.
These fully-dressed war elephants, under the stimulation and drive of the iron hand with the hook, trampled on the infantry that had fled everywhere without hesitation, and rushed towards the vanguard of the Restoration Army who were slashing and killing.
Amid the violent hissings and screams in an instant, the soldiers of the Refuguo who rushed too fast, along with the enemies being chased, were like to be torn and ragged and flew into the dust.
Following behind more than a dozen battle elephants, dozens of chariots with wheels rumbling from their wings, like razors shattering across the battlefield; and the human body wherever they pass is broken, regardless of the enemy, and is torn into two pieces.
Seeing that the enemy was like a rolling bead curtain, the Fuguo army was repulsed with the collapse and declining force. The central Yicheng of the Guangfu changed the formation again, but the crossbowmen who fired arrows in front of the formation retreated to the back row like flowing water, revealing rows of small cannons that had been arranged in a row.
As the small flags that were shaking successively flew, the scorching cannons squirmed out of the storm of fireworks, crossed the thin lines of smoke and ashes to bombard the war elephants and rolling chariots that were rushing towards them; in an instant, a louder noise aroused.
The battle elephant that was hit on the side face and splashed red and white before even the whine sound was made, and the war elephant was swelling forward in inertia; the wheels were brittle and ripped into a chariot in the splashing earth waves; the human body was thrown into the air and fell to the ground without interruption.
But more were those uninjured war elephants, as well as those horses dragging chariots, frightened and turned left and right in the loud noise; they turned sideways and trampled the following coalition infantry.
And this short and fierce shelling was like some kind of order and sign. For a moment, the trees along the side edge of the battlefield suddenly trembled one after another, revealing the heads and helmets of horses and helmets;
The more than a hundred ponies and mule cavalry lying in the forest also became the final decisive force in the chaos of the battlefield.
In a blink of an eye, they ran across the shallow river and penetrated unstoppably into the rear of the enemy formation. The lords of the noble vassals almost cut down the flags representing their prominent identities to the ground one after another.
