In the broken and mottled shadows of the tree, Geshudiqi, who was running wildly on the horse's back, was silently chanting thanking his parents for the eyes that could see farther away in the dark than ordinary people. In addition, the family had been trained to distinguish from night vision incense since childhood, which allowed him to inherit the family business of the former leader of the Shence Crossbows.

But now it was his second time to fight against the imperial army that he had belonged to before. He also looked forward to returning to the forgotten sad place within the pass, but there was no way to do so. After the Battle of Huainan, most of the temporary recruitment of auxiliary soldiers had been dismissed and returned home. Only a few of them had outstanding performance or skill were left to stay and stationed more.

After using his usual crossbows and using muskets, Geshudiqi, who still has a clear head beyond most people, is undoubtedly part of the continued use. During this period, he did not disappoint the expectations. During the many riots and changes among civilians, or the encirclement and suppression of local troops in Huainan, he quickly killed and injured many big and small leaders, and received a reward of richer than expected.

The biggest result he achieved was that during the sweeping battle in the reed marsh deep in Gaoyou Lake in winter, an unexpected musket injured the encircled secret stronghold, who had finally come out of the encircled secret stronghold and tried to escape from the frozen lake, the mount of Zhu Yanshou, who remembered half of the third-class battlefield merit. However, it was this half of the third-class merit that brought his life to a turning point again.

For a time, everyone seemed to know such a well-known master of firearms. Therefore, including the Lianghuai Post-Defense Office, which he currently belongs to, the Huainan Army Grain Terminal Court, the camp training team of the deputy general of the East Army, the newly formed Taiping 12th Army and the preparatory Chuzhou Guard Defense Zone, all expressed some intention to accept or recruit him.

After all, after years of war tests, the Taiping Army had already deeply felt the great convenience and new changes in the times brought by using firearms. A good player who can grasp the tricks and firearms at a long distance is undoubtedly the sign of the song following the times. Therefore, the past experiences of Geshudiqi were dug up at a glance.

However, in the end, he was able to impress him, and to recruit him into the army as a teaching officer, but Yang Shihou, the coach of the Ma Jun who was also a descendant from the official army. Not only was the other party who had never been a stranger to him and was willing to guarantee him with his position and future, but also because Yang Shihou was very considerate and gave him enough sincere treatment and resettlement conditions.

For example, he was placed in a weak wife who had just given birth to a short time and was placed in a Rongyang Farm outside Xiangyang City, which was in better conditions. Even if he had a good job on the battlefield in the future, he could still enjoy the pension and subsequent resettlement conditions of the first-level family members of the team. This was more irresistible than any increase in salary, allowances and benefits, and Geshudiqi could not resist and reject it.

Because he later learned that at the moment his wife gave birth to a child, he was in a daze and almost relapsed, and wanted to strangle the child that was accidentally killed on the spot. Geshu Diqi took the initiative to apply for the auxiliary soldiers to conquer Huainan. In addition to finding ways to make money to subsidize the family income, he was also escaping the birth of this child.

However, when he finally made up his mind to return home, he saw the pink and tender little meat dumpling in his cradle that had not been born for the first time, and inevitably felt soft and soft. After all, he had thought about many things along the way and found that at this moment, he still had no way to resent and hate such an innocent and ignorant baby in his cradle, even if his existence was a tragedy and wrong result.

But this child is the blood of his wife after all, and he may still be able to inherit the family name of his Shence General, Brother Shu and his family. In a trance, Geshu Diqi even fantasized about raising this child in the future, then marrying and having children with his entire wealth, and then playing with his grandchildren and surrounding him. Tears were about to flow all over his clothes for a while.

Therefore, when Geshudiqi used his rough hand covered with calluses to take the initiative to pick up this light and almost weightless little man, but he seemed to be a heavy pound; he tried hard to relax his tight face and squeeze out a smile that was even worse than crying, and wanted to tease and soothe the moment when he cried. Many things that had always made him feel confused seemed to be suddenly enlightened and slowly figured it out.

The root of all the tragedies at the forefront of him and the similar experiences of thousands of people in the world, who should we blame? I blame myself for my own will not care about the safety of my relatives? I blame those thieves who are raising troops everywhere to rebel? Or the old court that made many people in the world unable to survive? I blame those royal troops who let foreign vassals harm their subjects in order to use their troops to help suppress them?

Comparing what I saw and heard under the Taiping Army, perhaps this is the general trend of people in the world who are in chaos and longing for peace? Therefore, when the Taiping Governor's Office once again gathered people to rush to help the inner city, the natives like Geshudiqi who grew up in the capital of the inner city of the inner city resolutely gave up the relatively peaceful daily life of the firearm teaching in the horse team and joined as a front-drive cavalry officer of the flying/caught team.

Geshu Diqi still remembers some common sense and experience taught by Juanju when he was placed under the cavalry camp led by Yang Shihou.

"The southern horse is not as good as the northern horse. The sprint is all inferior, but the only thing that is steady...

"There is a special emphasis on riding and shooting skills! Rather than a fierce attack, a way to break through the camp..."

"Of course, this (muss gun) cavalry is not a (bow and crossbow) cavalry is a scattered fire after approaching the enemy, or a scattered fire that is in place."

"So when encountering an enemy's infantry, first use a firearm to disrupt the enemy's momentum, and then approach the bombardment bombing formation; if the enemy is in chaos, you can hold a sword and hold a spear to kill during the period."

"Otherwise, I would rather avoid the war steadily and only care about harassment and restraint, so that the battle cannot be fought, and the morale is weak. In the end, it is best to drag fatigue and collapse..."

"If you encounter a cavalry war, you must first learn to escape and try to lure the enemy to chase you?"

"This makes it easier to control the distance and facilitates the alternating backward radiation after the team is formed."

"And in the pursuit and counterattack, they are more likely to get excited and fail to notice that their losses are gradually becoming more and more serious."

"When they can notice something wrong, the corresponding casualties will accumulate to a large number of injuries."

"Then they had to turn around and run away; because they turned around and ran away, instead of just rushing like now, it was much slower, and it was our turn to chase him."

"Of course, this is just the most ideal situation; in the real battle formation, it is more necessary to cooperate with the infantry and cavalry teams... to play the greatest role of our generation."

After all, Geshudiqi is a former son of the former Shence general who was born in the rural area near the Gyeonggi. He has been with Zuo Shence camp for many times. Therefore, among the twenty-two counties in the Gyeonggi area, the traffic must be reached in the Kinki area where it runs through; he is much more familiar with the foreign Western Army.

Therefore, from the day he arrived at Dachang Pass, he had already started leading the team to the surrounding area of ​​Chang'an for reconnaissance and investigation tasks. He even relied on his master's courage to fight and prepare well, and changed his clothes and light cavalry traveled behind the enemy many times, and brought back a lot of news and experiences without any danger. However, this time he was obviously a little arrogant.

As a result, he tried to make a big difference with a small fortune. He wanted to snipe the enemy general on the pile platform with a hundred steps away from the fire, but instead shocked the enemy cavalry hidden in the darkness, unknown how many enemy cavalry were, and chased them with great fanfare. Seeing that the large number of fires on the official road behind him were getting closer and closer, Geshu Diqi's thoughts and emotions slowly calmed down.

He even had room and free time to draw out the two short guns on his saddle, and radiated to the firelight chasing behind him, so that they would not ignore and chase him in the darkness of the forest under the moon. However, his mount, whose mane was still soaked in sweat under his crotch, slowly slowed down, and it was obviously at the limit of horsepower.

However, the flames of the pursuers were closer. The next moment, Geshudiqi suddenly jumped up on the horse's back, grabbed a thick tree branch and climbed up in three or five times, and let the mount with an empty saddle run down the road. Then, a large group of voyeurs in hooded leather stepped past the fire, but no one noticed a shadow curled up in the tree branch.

He waited patiently on the tree for a while, and after several vassal cavalry thought of speeding past, he slowly stretched out his body in the shadow, loaded up the last musket on his body, and continued to wait for something as he crawled on the branches. Not long after, a flash of fire lights flashed from afar, and a raucous blast of fire and chaotic muskets, as well as the neighing of the horses and the wailing of wounded death.

And this is the biggest reliance he dared to advance so close to the enemy's hinterland. Now the Taiping Army in Lantian City and Dachang Pass have been launched. As the pioneer unit, he has two cavalry and infantry regiments, two thrust cavalry and one chariot regiment, and the mixed camp organized by a chariot regiment, followed and advanced more than ten miles away.

Now it seems that it is not in vain that he deliberately fought and left to attract the pursuers, and let another lighter-weight soldier ride on the faster horse and run back to report the news and warn. So after a while, Geshudiqi on the tree saw the vassal cavalry who fled back in sporadically, and the continuous flames galloping across the wilderness in the northwest.
