Chapter 1066 The wind rushes up (continued 2)

(Thank you for your reminder from the "crazy man". Wang Jian in the previous picture should be the coach.)

However, when Wang Jian's team arrived at Taiping County, he found that the battle had basically come to an end; only the scattered corpses of people and horses on the battlefield and the busy figures of the auxiliary soldiers who cleaned the battlefield on the spot. On the head of Taiping County, which was obviously bombarded with several gaps, the Kunpeng Green Flag representing control was also planted on the head of Taiping County.

When these support teams gathered and the whole team were all gathered under the city, large buckets of hot soup and steamed cakes purchased locally from the city, as well as half a can of beans roasted beans that each person had been baked, were also distributed to the hands of these soldiers.

Just after stewing meat with pancake rolls and eating them with mixed soup, they received a new order. Then they turned to the west and marched 11 miles away to Taiping Pass (now northwest of Xiangfen County, Shanxi, set up for the seventh year of Zhenguan) to investigate, waiting for an opportunity to decide whether to attack and seize the battle.

Here they also replaced them with a group of mules, horses and animals. They continued to move forward in a hurry. A turret built on the hillside formed three walls, guarded the cracked belt of a branch derived from the southern foot of the Luliang Mountains, and blocked a valley to the northwest to Cizhou (now Ji County, Shanxi).

However, on the inside of this half-mile-circumference, the flag of the Hezhong Army is still planted, and the Jin army holding the Hedong Yanri Banner high; but several gaps have been broken under the continuous attack of the Jin army, and the fireworks fighting in the pass are particularly visible several miles away.

Therefore, when the infantry who had transferred to the regiment where Wang Jian arrived near Taiping Pass half an hour in advance, they were greeted by the Daibei Cavalry who were waiting outside the pass and turned around and rushed towards him;

Feeling the shining sword spears in the rolling smoke and dust and the earthy smell sent from the wind, the next moment, the Taiping soldiers stopped and turned into wide and long horizontal lines in a sharp whistle; and they also undulated along the somewhat uneven ground, walked up the protruding part of a ditch, and slightly tilted towards the direction of the enemy.

The new whistle sounded again, and groups of white soldiers holding hands and short spears, narrow swords crossed the queue and scattered down in the shallow ditches that were only half of their body, leaning down; and the gunmen who were shoulder to shoulder to form four rows of front and back also began to load in an orderly manner.

Seeing him began to stuff pieces of candied ginger into the mouths of the vanguards one by one to divert the corresponding anxiety and tension, as well as comfort in the attack of the enemy cavalry later. Then "The Song of Knights" began to ring in unevenly in their queue.

The enemy cavalry, who was in the smoke inside and outside, seemed close, and almost entered the maximum range after more than a dozen breaths; and these Taiping soldiers also thrust up the raised muzzle without hesitation in the whistle. In an instant, a brisk and dense sound of fried beans and blue smoke bloomed, forming a wave of lead rain that was throwing lines.

In the smoke and dust that were approaching quickly, the scattered figures of people paused and fell to the ground, and were trampled and crossed by subsequent cavalry. Then, amid the rustling of mechanical movements, the vanguards, mainly old soldiers, were quickly loaded again, and the muzzle radiated slightly diagonally towards the enemy's head.

The enemy cavalry that had already reached fifty steps was stagnant again, and several other figures fell down immediately. Then, the soldiers behind them quickly handed out the muskets loaded in the back row with their hands and hands, and took away the empty muskets with their left hand and passed them to the two rows of soldiers who were loading back and forth behind them.

So in these short fifty or sixty steps, the old soldiers standing in the ranks had already released four rounds of volleys according to the rhythm of their breathing. The result in an instant was that the oncoming enemy cavalry were like rice ears slapped by the wind, and the people and horses were neighing and falling from clusters one after another.

However, the remaining enemy cavalry that were scattered and rushed to more than ten steps away, but they regrouped like a midstream gathering water and became a relatively tight rushing force. At this time, they were handed to the vanguard again, and were no longer long guns that were fired alternately, but bead guns with obvious bullet wheels.

In an instant, a whistle and a small flag flipped down. Nearly a hundred consecutive bead guns that were banging in the front row almost emptied the six medicines filled with bullet wheels in one go, and suddenly burst out several times the density of bullets in front of them like a curtain;

The enemy cavalry that had cleansed their faces seemed to have collided one after another, and there were invisible obstacles and obstacles in the air. The people and horses all over their bodies were covered with blood and fell to the ground again. The outward extension of the array ditch was spread out quickly, and a messy blood-colored obstacle with the overlapping of corpses of people and horses.

However, the next moment, these vanguards who fired the air bullet wheel had no time to consider the results of the battle and threw down the bead gun without hesitation. They took over the long gun with a sharp spike again; the wooden support pressed against the toes and squatted forward in an instant, revealing the two rows of long guns that were held by the back of their bodies, holding the shoulders and waist.

As the fireworks radiated, the enemy cavalry that followed the obstacles of the corpse and rushed forward, and then staggered and stopped. Then more enemy cavalry rushed forward flawlessly, and were about to fly across the ditch.

However, the short spear that was suddenly lifted by the white soldiers crouching in the ditch before stabbed the chest, abdomen, neck, and waist of the mount; or it also slashed the horse's hooves, and blood suddenly splashed and fell into pieces.

However, there were also some enemy cavalry that rushed in one after another, wielding weapons from left to right and left to knock them away, stomping over, and stabbing them all over the place, but they were stabbed on their chests and shoulders by guns erected like forests by the ditch. For a moment, inside and outside the shallow ditch, people and horses neighed, and flesh and blood flew into a melee.

After a long battle, only a few dozen cavalry of Jin army cavalry were left, rushing to retreat in the gradually fading smoke and dust; and in the direction where they escaped, a large group of Jin army troops arrived lately;

However, in just a moment of breathing, the Taiping Army's horizontal team, which had become incomplete, was once again completed by the latter, and the long and short muskets arranged in rows were re-directed at the oncoming Jin army.

In the following battle, no matter how brave these Jin infantrymen fought for the first time, they could never pass the ditch that was filled by the corpses of men and horses, and piled up above half of the ground.

Someone tried to bypass the ditch from both sides of the Taiping Army formation, but was hit by the lead fired from the side and behind and retreated. Finally, even the shield hand that was approaching with a big card was blown up by the explosive bombs thrown in the air.

When the sky finally darkened and the group of Taiping soldiers who were injured by half were about to run out of their medicine; another group of Taiping Cavalry and infantry cavalry holding the Kunpeng Green Banner also rushed to the edge of the battlefield one after another with the faint sound of drums and trumpets;

As a result, the last remaining Jin army in the battlefield retreated in the night, and the rush of pursuit filled with the flames and guns, turned into an uncontrollable defeat.

When the night completely enveloped the earth, a small group of scarred defenders came out of Taiping Pass, and handed over the gateway to the hinterland of Cizhou.

After walking along this mountain pass overnight and quickly until dawn, he easily arrived at the unprepared Changning County in Cizhou. After easily taking Changning County to repair and supplement, the side troops took advantage of the victory to conquer Xiazhou City Jichang, Wencheng and other places, and finally arrived at the east bank of the upper reaches of the Yellow River.
