Chapter five hundred and seventy-two battle Yuhuatai

In history, when the Hunan Army and the Taiping Army fought in Nanjing, they had the blessing of the strategic differences between Li Xiucheng and Hong Xiuquan. They had gained three months of deep ditch and high bases, and built a nearly indestructible solid camp to win important opportunities for decisive battles. The Wu Army Feng Sanbao Corps was in a hurry, and the tactical concept was completely different from that of the Hunan Army, which liked to build hard villages and fight stupid battles. The camps built on the Yuhuatai were not only far less solid than the Hunan Army camp, but also deliberately left some seemingly flawed traps in the arrangement of the fortifications, deliberately luring the Taiping Army to launch an attack on these positions.

This also destined that the Yuhuatai battle between the Wu army and the Taiping army became more cruel and fierce, and even more bloody and tragic.

The fierce battle entered a white-hot day after the fall of the Wu army's Changgang camp. Taking advantage of the opportunity to achieve an important breakthrough and boost morale, Li Xiucheng saw the weakness of the Wu army's central army camp established in Gaozuo Temple, which was not central enough, and deliberately launched a fierce attack on the other three Wu army camps in the southwest of Yuhuatai, trying to lure and force Feng Sanbao to put the reserve team into the peripheral battlefield. Then he took the opportunity to kill Yuhuatai from the weak defense of the Wu army south of Mumoting and directly attack the Wu army's central army command.

Li Xiucheng's army did have major flaws in close combat, but it had an absolute numerical advantage in terms of military strength and firepower. The three Wu army camps, which were under the focus, also increased their pressure, and were almost always shrouded in the smoke of fire. The Taiping Army's large and small artillery continued to bombard these three camps day and night, and used their advantages to force the troops to harass them, consuming the physical, mental and ammunition of the Wu army soldiers, and patiently looking for fighter jets. When opportunities arise, they will also decisively launch an attack, and fight the feint attack without distinction from the frontal attack. They successfully induce Feng Sanbao and other Wu army generals to misjudge the main attack direction of the Taiping Army, and determine that the Taiping Army planned to take the southwest position of Yuhuatai, offset the condescending advantage of the Wu army camp, and then launch a full-scale attack.

Fortunately, hand-to-hand combat is still a life-saving straw for the Wu army Feng Sanbao Corps. Whenever he can't withstand the firepower suppression of the Taiping Army, the Southwest Wu army, which is good at close combat, always sends suicide squads out of the camp to counterattack like a trick, and rushes to the close to fight with the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Taiping Army. As a result, because the soldiers of the Wu army in the southwest are not afraid of death, the Wu army has repeatedly achieved miraculous results. They have created miracles in close combat many times, and have repeatedly defeated the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Taiping Army, which came out of a prosperous hometown in Jiangnan, and overcomes the difficulties.

In addition, learning from the lessons of the loss of Changgang camp, the Wu army soldiers specially arranged bitter sour weapons to respond to the suicide squad that went out to attack. When the suicide squad was unfavorable, they suppressed the pursuit of the Taiping Army with bitter sour grenades and grenade launchers, covered friendly forces to withdraw back to the camp, and also took the opportunity to eliminate the Taiping Army veterans who were already small in Li Xiucheng's army. The number of Taiping Army veterans accumulated in the small number of small numbers gradually caused heavy damage to Li Xiucheng's elite veterans selected from the various battalions of the Taiping Army.

The road is one foot taller, and the devil is one foot taller! Just as the Wu army gradually stabilized its position with the advantage of hand-to-hand combat and bitter sour weapons, Li Xiucheng's new tricks came out again. Under the cover of superior firepower, a large number of Taiping soldiers each carried a wooden box of a foot square and a half square to take turns to build a wooden box wall opposite the Wu army's camp trench. Wu army soldiers shot at the box wall, but found that the box was filled with mud and the bullet could not penetrate the drill at all. They took the risk to attack and were then hit by the Taiping Army.

The volleyball was repelled, with heavy casualties and little results. Even if the Taiping Army was barely repelled the attack and another Taiping Army team came forward, they continued to build box walls. They did not dare to fight against the Taiping Army, and the soldiers of the Wu army could only watch the Taiping Army build a chest-high box wall similar to the sheep and horse wall opposite the self-defense trench. The attacking Taiping Army was able to persist on the front line for a long time with this, and the pressure of the Third Battalion of the Southwest of the Wu army doubled again.

When the war reached this point, if we wanted to protect Yuhuatai's southwest position, the Wu army had no choice but to increase troops to the southwest position. As a result, Feng Sanbao had just added one battalion to these three camps. Li Xiucheng immediately understood that the Wu army had been deceived, and decisively dispatched troops and began to carry out the comprehensive attack he had planned.

The Taiping Army's general attack was still the first to start in the southwest of Yuhuatai. At around 4 o'clock that afternoon, the Taiping Army suddenly increased its firepower again, covering the third battalion of Wu's southwest of Yuhuatai with fierce artillery fire, and used a large number of black powder and flowering artillery shells, causing great casualties to the Wu army soldiers who were lacking protection on the sky above their heads. They also sent heavy troops to cover relatively light mountain-splitting cannons and bombarded the Wu army defense fortifications at close range, and cooperated with throwing combustion weapons and gunpowder barrels to attack the Wu army soldiers hiding behind the sheep and horse wall. The Wu army soldiers who were at a disadvantage in the fire were seriously injured and had to ask Feng Sanbao for help.

The tactical purpose of the Taiping Army was misjudged and believed that the Taiping Army would take down the southwest position at night. In addition to ordering the Wu army soldiers of the Third Battalion of the Southwest to use bitter sour weapons to defend the enemy, Feng Sanbao arranged an elite reserve team to order the Marquis in the camp early. He only waited for the darkness to increase troops to the Third Battalion of the Southwest to protect the southwest position at any cost, and did not give the Taiping Army a chance to break the camp at night and cause greater casualties to the self-army who did not have the advantage of military strength. If the camp was broken by the Taiping Army at night, the Wu army soldiers guarding the camp were not only difficult to transfer, but also the danger of being expelled by the Taiping Army as a vanguard to invade other Wu army camps.

All plots are performed according to the script directed by Li Xiucheng and Li Da. Just as they saw the Wu army use a large number of bitter and sour weapons, Li Xiucheng understood that the Wu army had been deceived and made decisive arrangements to launch a real attack. After it was dark, Li Xiucheng once again sent more troops to the southwest position of Yuhuatai, using feint as the main attack. While visiting the northeast corner of Yuhuatai, he personally directed the surprise attack against the Wu army's central army camp.

After 11 o'clock in the evening, the southwest battlefield sent accurate news and reported that the Wu army had once again increased its troops in the Third Battalion of the Southwest. Li Xiucheng was overjoyed when he heard the news, but he did not rush to launch an attack. Instead, he waited patiently until midnight. At 12:30 in the evening, Li Xiucheng gave an order and asked more than 500 Guangxi veterans who were drawn from the two Sima and above Taiping Army generals to step forward. He used the night cover to touch the Yuhua platform silently and climbed quietly to the stage, and successfully climbed to the Yuhua platform from the current Yuhuatai People's Air Raid Shelter area.

As Li Xiucheng expected, the dense sound of gunfire and the dark night in the southwest position successfully covered the movements of the Taiping Army. It was the Taiping Army who followed the commando to the Yuhua Platform in large numbers. The Wu army soldiers who were patrolling the patrol noticed that the enemy was attacking and issued an alarm. The Taiping Army commando, who had been prepared, immediately launched a charge at the Wu army camp without hesitation. During the battle, it suddenly used bitter sour grenades and firing needle guns. At the same time, several grenade launchers bombed into the Wu army camp, and once again caught the Wu army soldiers who were hurrying to meet the enemy off guard. They killed the Wu army soldiers at an incredible speed and rushed to the next door of the Wu army camp at an incredible speed. They began to carry out gunpowder explosion, attempting to use gunpowder barrels to open the Wu army camp gate and directly into the Wu army camp!

"Don't throw that mom!"

"Boom!"

Relying on the sacrifice of a veteran in Guangxi, the Taiping Army's powder keg was successfully detonated at the Wu Jun camp gate. While breaking the Guangxi veteran, it also successfully exploded the gate of the Wu Jun camp. The Taiping Army soldiers behind were all cheering like thunder, with red eyes and just charging, strode towards the Wu Jun camp gate that had already opened. The iconic charge slogan also resounded throughout the Yuhuatai battlefield, "Damn that mother!"

Unfortunately, director Li Da's script suddenly changed its direction. I don't know if it was the one who should kill the sky gave an order. Hundreds of grenade launchers suddenly opened fire together, smashing the same number of grenade launchers onto the crowd of Taiping veterans. At the same time, gunfire sounds in the Wu army camp. Wu army soldiers holding strange rifles laughed wildly and fired continuously, shooting bullets that could be fired continuously at the Taiping soldiers who were storms like storms. These Taiping veterans who shouted to throw their mother at the charge were no matter how elite and good at fighting, their flesh and blood could not stop the metal bullets fired from Henry's continuous bead guns and the bitter sour shells bombed from the grenade launchers. In the blink of an eye, they were screamed and screamed in tears, falling to the ground, and were even more injured by the grenade launchers. They were also incomplete in their bodies.

The Guangxi veterans of the Taiping Army were indeed very good at fighting, and their fighting will was the best in the world. However, this tenacious will made the Taiping Army's commando this night. In order to seize this opportunity to break the enemy, the Taiping Army's commando, composed of Guangxi veterans, was obviously well prepared, and still refused to give up and charged towards the Wu army's camp. Unfortunately, the speed of fire of Henry's continuous gun far exceeded the imagination of the Taiping Army's veterans. At the same time, they also had the Dana explosive mine buried by the Wu army before the Wu army exploded. Therefore, the Taiping Army's assault was not only unable to rush into the Wu army's camp, but also paid the price of almost annihilation.

At the same time, the Wu army's fortress, which had been accumulating for a long time, suddenly opened fire. Solid artillery shells and flowering artillery shells crossed to the Taiping Army brigade behind, harvesting the lives of Taiping soldiers in groups in groups. The Taiping Army soldiers who followed the commando were also seriously injured. The team was in chaos, and panic shouts continued, "There was an ambush! I was ambushed by the demon soldiers!"

In fact, it was not an ambush, but a trap carefully designed by the Wu army when laying out defensive positions. Feng Sanbao and others had long known the hidden dangers of the lack of location in Gaozu Temple. However, the Ganlu Well and Yuhuaquan next to Gaozu Temple are important water sources that the Wu army must not give up. Feng Sanbao could only choose the Zhongjun camp in Gaozu Temple. However, after making this choice, if the camp next to the Zhongjun camp, it would cause the problem of too dense troops. Therefore, Feng Sanbao had no other good choice. He could only build many forts, covering the east road to Gaozu Temple without the protection of the camp, and laying a large number of mines at the critical point to prevent it. At the same time, after being forced to increase troops in the southwest position, Feng Sanbao arranged for Wu army ace Wu Chaoyue's personal military camp to take turns to guard against the Taiping Army's sudden attack on his Zhongjun camp from the east, which resulted in this situation tonight.

Without the perspective of God, Li Xiucheng certainly didn't know that Wu's army had not actually seen through his plan to attack the east, but the more this happened, the more puzzled Li Xiucheng was. When receiving the report of his disastrous defeat, he shouted: "How is it possible? The demon soldiers have obviously been deceived and have increased their troops to the southwest position of Yuhuatai, so how could there be ambush?"

"King Zhong Qiansui, we may underestimate Feng Sanbao too much." Li Shuxiang, the think tank, also came to a wrong conclusion and said: "Maybe this demon general has already known our plan to attack the east and west, pretending to be fooled, deliberately leading us to his trap. We accidentally got on his hook, so..., the loss was heavy."

"It's not just heavy losses?" Li Xiucheng whined in pain: "About 400 old Guangxi brothers, there are dozens of Guangjun and Shishou in it. They lost all of them all at once. For my Zhongdian army, it's a trauma!"

The bad idea of ​​drawing middle-level generals into an officer's death squad was made by Li Shuxiang. Of course, Li Shuxiang didn't dare to deal with this, so he could only change the topic quickly and asked: "King Zhong Qiansui, should Changgang continue to fight? Should we withdraw the army and redeploy the attack?"

Li Xiucheng was indeed deceived and did not continue to pursue the heavy losses of the veterans. After looking at the southwest position of Yuhuatai, which was still fighting fiercely, Li Xiucheng thought for a moment, then stomped his feet and said fiercely: "Continue to fight! There is no way to directly capture the central army camp of the demon soldiers, and continue to attack their peripheral camps! Take down the southwest of Yuhuatai at any cost to offset the condescending geographical advantage of the demon soldiers, and then find a way to eliminate the remaining demon soldiers!"

Because of Li Xiucheng's decision, the southwest battlefield of Yuhuatai was destined to be more bloody. In the next two days and two nights, the Taiping Army successively invested more than 150,000 troops to attack the three camps built in the southwest of Yuhuatai day and night. With the absolute advantage of military firepower, it successfully entered the camps of Wu many times. The Wu army was forced to use bitter sour weapons to rescue emergency many times. The soldiers were so tired that they squatted behind the sheep and horse walls and could fall asleep directly. On several battlefields where the two sides were fighting for, the bodies of soldiers on both sides directly filled the Wu army's camp trenches, and the corpses were piled up like mountains and blood flowed into depressions. The thick plasma in some places could directly flood the soldiers' knees.

In view of the fierce offensive of the Taiping Army, the Wu army had to voluntarily give up a battalion east of Changgang and shrink the front line to continue fighting, but the Taiping Army could only do this. Under the heroic resistance of the Wu army soldiers, Li Xiucheng took turns to send troops forward, and how he concentrated his superior artillery fire to bombard the Wu army camp, the Taiping Army could not take a step forward. Most of the Yuhuatai positions were still firmly in the hands of the Wu army soldiers. At the same time, the Taiping Army attempted to establish a fort on the Yuhuatai position occupied by the occupied Yuhuatai position and directly bombarded the Wu army's central army camp. It also quickly went bankrupt under the fierce bombardment of the Wu army's breech artillery. He was killed and injured and unable to bring the long-range cannon to the Yuhuatai position.

On the fourth day of the fourth day, Li Xiucheng, whose eyes were red, struggled to death. He also listened to Li Shuxiang's bad idea and forced Ye Yun, who was seriously injured in the Taiping Civil War, to form a commando. Wu Ruxiao and Zeng Lichang's three armies drew veterans to form a commando, cooperated with their Jiangsu and Zhejiang troops, and once again rushed to Yuhuatai from the east and attacked the Wu army's central army camp in front. Unfortunately, Li Xiucheng's only gain in this move was to find that there was a devilish army in the Wu army camp. Not only was the perfect marksmanship, but long-range shooting and killing people was called, and the rifles in his hand could also be fired continuously, just like a bullet could never be completed! What Li Xiucheng paid was almost all the veterans of Ye, Wu, Zeng, and the three armies, as well as a large number of soldiers in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Taiping Army...

The failure of the head-on attack on the Wu army's central army camp also made Li Xiucheng make the right choice to stop the attack. After giving this order with a gray face, Li Xiucheng murmured even more gray: "You can't fight like this anymore. If you continue to fight like this, the rear army of the demon soldiers who don't need to come to reinforce. The demon soldiers on the Yuhua Platform alone can drag me down alive."
