Chapter 939 Murderous Ling Qiongcang (Part 2)

At the top of the Tianpan Lun in Xingshi Daokou, Li Cunzhang was the only remaining one of the last dozen scarred Taiping soldiers who had been killed by a general amnesty, but they sat on the hard rocky ground, but they were so tilted that they could no longer support themselves.

As a member of Yanmen and Yunzhong Shouzhang, Li Cunzhang, who was under his command of the army, never thought that one day he would raise his sword to fight for the thief, and he fought so hard until the last moment. This was obviously the fault of those officials who wanted to kill people indiscriminately. Who told them to block all their ways and fight to the death at the cost of the time they came up.

What's even more stupid is that they have many self-control and have many powers, and they don't even want to stay in captivity. Therefore, during the attack, they were too lazy to persuade them to surrender, so they directly killed the injured Taiping who were caught on the spot. The result was that more than a hundred guards in Tianpanlei were aroused, and they were determined to fight for their destiny and resolute, and Li Cunzhang had to fight for his destiny.

When the medicine and arrows in the barriers were shot out, they threw stones down from the mountain, and the bodies of these officials were still able to be beaten covered with the winding mountain path. Then they fought and fought back and forth one by one. Fortunately, this winding mountain path was still too narrow and rugged. As long as two or three people held a spear in their hands, they could poke the officers and soldiers who were rolling up and over and over again.

However, under the seemingly endless attacks of the official army, casualties inevitably appeared. Among the more than a hundred soldiers, the brigade commander, brigade deputy, flag head, team chief, and team deputy were all killed or seriously injured one after another, Li Cunzhang, who had some courage and skills, by chance, became the leader of the remaining people.

Under the guidance of the swaying green flag in the sky, a blue iron stream that broke through the cold wind rolled in, and suddenly dispersed and destroyed the official army lineup gathered on the sky pan. Then, it drove them into the more spacious valley like driving pigs and sheep.

Compared with the feelings of Li Cunzhang and others who survived the disaster in Tianpanlei, the first army general who had a huge army that rushed out of the valley road, Ge Congzhou, who described his strong eyebrows and broad face, was also full of gratitude. During the continuous clearing of roads and rushing to work day and night, after two landslides and one avalanche, their support finally caught up.

As the Grand Commander/His Highness of the King of Chu, he had been one of the few generals added by Qingyan in his early years. His situation and career in recent years were very smooth and diligent. However, in private, he was inevitably under pressure and a knot in his heart. Because the first army he belonged to was the main force who was the guard of the Grand Commander.

Therefore, the opportunity to participate in the battle is basically a critical moment when it needs to be finalized, or the overall situation is determined to pursue the Northern style of enlargement; this makes his record and opportunity to perform in front of the battle basically achieved in the face-wind battle; this is a bit embarrassing.

Although others may not say much, he always felt that his performance was not worthy of the great governor's gift to many military books from the beginning, and personally gave him some painstaking efforts to cultivate the generals. Therefore, this time he had a rare opportunity to go out to the south of the mountain road; he was also very excited and wanted to do something.

Fortunately, he finally did not miss the last chance, otherwise he would have no face to give instructions to the soldiers in the army and the Grand Governor's Office. Thinking of this, Ge Congzhou tried harder to ride a horse and hold a gun, and rushed to the outside of the valley entrance, and had already rushed to meet an official army. With the steel guns in his hand, he trembled several times, and the generals in front and several officers and soldiers behind him flew one after another like skewers of flesh.

After several breaths, in front of the Taiping cavalry that was attacking, the array of officials who were fighting had been killed several times, and all turned into a fragile figure on the edge of the Han River. However, with such a short buffer, another official army crossed the low bridge above the Han River and rushed to them fiercely.

However, the drummers around Ge Congzhou also blew the loud suona. The next moment, these cavalrymen who were chasing quickly turned their horses and gathered again into slender and long lines spread out at the foot of the mountains and in the narrow fields. Then, thirty steps away, they raised their muskets and ignited them at the official troops who were constantly crossing the Han River.

For a moment, on the river bank and on the bridge, the officers and soldiers rushed over, as if they had fallen unevenly, suddenly fell like rain or fell on the river bank. Then, between the messy and chaotic scene, the Taiping cavalry who had raised their swords and spears again rushed in and scattered again.

This is also the result of Yang Shihou's improvement of the Taiping cavalry. After removing the traditional conspicuous crossbow Hu Lu (quiver) of thick benzene, two double-shot cavalry guns were inserted into the saddle, and a cavalry spear with a carburized steel tip and a standard hardened saber with a thick back and narrow blade. This is the most basic three-piece set that the cavalrymen who are coming from afar can get close (fight) and strike from afar.

After losing the two attacking forces in the west direction of the city, the official army on the east coast still did not recover from the chaos. They could only watch these Taiping cavalrymen who were the vanguards easily collided under the guidance of Ge Congzhou, kicked over and trampled. The defeated soldiers who could not dodge, and calmly crossed the bridge on the Han River.

As a follow-up echo, the Taipingqing Banner, which was continuously unfolding from the mountain pass, was a large group of infantrymen with licensed spears and guns and bullets. In almost one short period of time, it spread across the narrow fields on the east bank of the Han River and began to cross the river in an orderly manner.

Then, Ge Congzhou, who was full of blood in the rushing campaign, also took a few guards and retreated slightly to cooperate with the team of troops, and then took over the command of the formation from the third general Xu Yi, who was the deputy. However, Xu Yi, who was the deputy general, said with some surprise:

"The chief general, but you, Meng Lang, can you take risks easily as the chief army?"

"Because a certain family has lost a long battle formation, I am really happy to see the hunt; this is not the case, thanks to Mr. Xu, who is responsible for it! Next, please continue to work together..."

Ge Congzhou admitted his mistake without hesitation:

Just as they were speaking, the artillery groups that had successively loaded the trucks and arrived at the Han River shore, which had the residual ice, completed the preliminary calibration and began to line up the official army that had barely reorganized and recovered from the distance, launching the first round of test firing. In the midst of the thunder and thunder of fireworks, the thunder gathered near the official army array under the city on the other side, and also exploded and stirred up a bunch of broken soil and gravel.

There was also an enemy formation hit by the ground's bouncing iron ball, which was instantly broken by swords and guns, and the human shield collapsed into a bloody gap. The array, which was originally very easy to reorganize and gather from the chaos, became chaotic again. Suddenly, the sound team that gathered behind the drinks was exposed with a pair of bows waiting to be shot.

The Taiping cavalry who crossed the other side first saw this opportunity after a brief reorganization and immediately followed the edge of the battlefield to kill them. The cavalrymen who were slanting and storming in front of them like waves of whirlwinds, shot over and knocked over the uneven pieces, and then turned without hesitation and dripped across a very small semicircle, and pulled the sword and spear into it.

A few moments later, as more and more Taiping infantry were shooting towards the official army array as more and more passed through the Han River. The collapse that spread from the southeast of the city inevitably hit the main formation of the official army located in the camps in the south of the city. However, at this critical moment, the "Yang" flag held high in the air and the red and yellow flag representing the supreme command were shaking visible to the naked eye, and then slowly moved backwards.

For a moment, the various government troops who were still in their own camps and defense formations, and were fighting hard, seemed to be greatly stimulated, and suddenly, amid the roars and shouts of roaring and shouting, they became amidst many momentums of leaving the battlefield.

In the original central military position, the Wuhou carriage that Yang Fuguang was riding in was abandoned in place; it turned into a pair of strong men who were rushing away with the eaves (the lifting pole with a shed) surrounded by many god-like soldiers. Yang Fuguang among the eaves had suddenly lost consciousness and consciousness.

——I am the dividing line—

Two days later

"Good news, the restraining strategy of Shannan West Road has been achieved..."

Cao Shixiong took a frontier and turned back to the military newspaper and walked in and shouted:

"Ge Congzhou's support army not only lifted the siege of Chenggu, but also destroyed tens of thousands of officials outside the city, killing 5,000 people in front and behind...they captured the flags, drums, armor and wars piled up like mountains."

"Okay, this journey can finally make people feel at ease."

Zhou Huaian couldn't help but sighed:

After carefully looking at the list of revelations, I suddenly found a somewhat incredible detail. At some point, one of the thirteen Grandmasters under Li Ya'er actually appeared in the accompanying battle report of the Shanxi Guide.

As for Li Cunzhang, he was not the most famous person in the so-called "Thirteen Taibaos of the Later Tang Dynasty" performances; but he was the first to follow the black crow and assisted in killing Duan Wenchu, the commander of Yunzhong Shou. It was also an exception among the few Daibei Group, which had the core of the three surnames of Shatuo, and was generally strong in force but not good at civil and political governance.

Although there are not many records in history, they are relatively positive. For example, after defeating Liang, taking advantage of the emptiness of Jinyang, he sent the general Wang Tan to attack the 50,000 army from Yindiguan. For example, when he was the Datong defensive envoy, he killed the envoy of Yelu Abaoji, the Khitan master who came to the border to blackmail wealth and children, and repelled him;

For example, when he was the Marquis of the Hedong Mass and Budu, he was also the commander of the military city, he assisted Emperor Zhuang of Later Tang Li Cunxu to rectify military discipline. He was mostly border residents in the past, and was arrogant and difficult to restrain him. In addition, Li Yaer always tolerated and tolerated the morale of the army, causing a situation of "interference in the market and plundering them". He suppressed the strong and supported the weak and strictly enforced the laws and regulations, and "the one who held the most violent and arrogant people killed him for ten months."
