Han’s Son is Not a Slave

When the back mountain was fighting fiercely, the Qing army and the Taiping army were also fighting in front of the front mountain gate, such as Guifeng Pavilion, Qianshoutang, and Shuiyue Palace.

Compared with the weak guard force in the back mountain, almost all the capable soldiers of the back camp are concentrated in the front mountain, and there are as many as 15,600 people in several dangerous strongholds. Among them, in addition to the more than 100 soldiers left by Zhao Sihai, there are more than 400 security guards and more than 200 Kurdish troops, and the rest are old and weak men recruited from various battalions.

In order to effectively resist and kill the Qing army, Zhao Sihai divided his troops and deployed three lines of defense along the gate of Yutai Temple to Daxiong Hall. The first line of defense consisted mainly of soldiers and security personnel; Mainly; the remaining manpower is concentrated on the third and last line of defense. Once the front square of Daxiong Hall falls, the resistance of the rear camp at Yutai Temple will collapse, and the remaining thousands of old and weak women and children will also fall into the enemy's hands.

For several consecutive days, Zhao Sihai and Song Xianggong mobilized all the active people in the temple to reinforce the three defense lines. After visiting the few dilapidated halls in the temple, the old monk Qilin was so angry that he couldn't swallow for several days. The monks on the left and right could often hear him talk about catastrophe or catastrophe.

Because the first line of defense is built along the steps up and down the mountain in front of Yutai Temple, it is also the only way to enter and exit Yutai Temple. Once this line of defense is lost, the Qing army does not need to attack the mountain, but can directly break through the mountain gate and enter the temple. Therefore, Zhao Sihai has the most troops on the first line of defense, and these troops are also the most elite personnel that the rear battalion can bring out so far.

When the chaos in the back mountain, although the Taiping soldiers deployed in the first line of defense were also flustered, they were obviously much calmer than the fear and panic of the old and weak women and children in the back mountain. After experiencing the life and death of the breakout battle a few days ago, and after several battles to defeat the Qing army's attack, this will be whether it is a soldier, a security team, or those soldiers. The surrounding Qing army is no longer as fearful and nervous as before, nor is it timid in the face of the Qing army swarming up from the mountain.

After nervously ordering Zhao Wu to bring a team to the back mountain to reinforce Song Xianggong, Zhao Sihai was ready for battle, and all the soldiers in the back camp on the first line of defense were also ready for battle. No one needed to remind him at this time. , they also know that the Qing army under the mountain will definitely take advantage of the chaos in the back mountain to attack.

"Exit the fire on the mountain!"

Because the Qing army used archers and even gunmen to shoot at the mountains in the past few times, it caused some losses to the rear. Therefore, after hearing the sound of the Qing army horn at the foot of the mountain, Zhao Sihai immediately ordered people to extinguish it. bonfire on the mountain. In order to prevent the soldiers from being killed by the Qing army with the help of fire and arrows.

Compared with Duke Xiang of Song, Zhao Sihai, who had served in Li Chengdong's army, had much stronger battlefield experience and commanding ability. While lying there to observe the distance of the Qing army up the mountain, he ordered his subordinates: "Put the Qing dog closer and then put the log, Don't rush it down!"

The log was Zhao Sihai's weapon that was second only to the thunder of the sky. On the narrow mountain road, the log dropped from a high place was definitely a weapon to kill the enemy and stop the enemy. In the previous battles, the log was the back camp. Successfully defending Yutai Temple made a great contribution. However, in the previous battles, the soldiers were too nervous. As a result, the consumption of rolling logs is too high, and there are not many buildings that can be demolished in the temple, so the number of rolling logs is not much.

After hearing Baihu's order, the soldier in charge of casting the log quickly adjusted his breathing. Quietly looked at the Qing army from far to near.

As in the previous times, the Qing army was still the Green Battalion in the front, and the Han army flag was behind, but it was different from the previous times. This time, the green battalion soldiers who rushed in front were all wearing cotton armor, and some of the generals were even wearing iron armor.

"Fire arrows!"

When they were less than a hundred paces away from the Taiping army, the archers of the Qing army shot arrows up the mountain. Almost every ten steps forward, there will be a rain of arrows from the Qing army.

In order to completely capture Yutai Temple, Wu Jinzhong transferred 200 archers from Xinhui City, plus the original 150 archers in the army, a total of 350 archers shot arrows on the mountain at the same time, although most of the arrows were shot on the mountain at the same time due to the upward attack and the dark night. The branch did not hit anyone, but the arrows that fell from time to time still pressed the soldiers in the rear battalion above to lift their heads, and more than 20 soldiers screamed when they were hit by the arrows.

"The dog of the dog day!"

Zhao Sihai cursed, but he could only lie there and didn't dare to move. There was no way. His subordinate Hugh said it was iron armor, but he didn't even have a cotton armor. Without the protection of armor, whether it is bows or guns, it will pose a fatal threat to the rear battalion. The only way to deal with it now is to try to keep the body as small as possible and stay still, or hide under a simple bunker made of wooden planks.

Under the cover of bows and arrows, the Qing army was already close to the defense line of the rear camp. If there was no moon tonight, and neither the Taiping camp nor the Qing army fired torches for the sake of guarding against their opponents, I am afraid that the above Taiping army would be able to clear the faces of those Qing soldiers. See clearly.

After silently calculating the pace of the Qing army, Zhao Sihai finally gave the order to the soldiers whose noses had been sweating for a long time: "Throw the log!"

"Throw!"

In an instant, dozens of big trees rolled down from the mountainside.

"Avoid the wood, avoid the wood!"

Rao Shiqing army had long been prepared for the logs of Taiping Camp, but in such a short distance, these logs with countless strengths still made them unavoidable. Rolling logs rolled over the bodies of the Qing soldiers, smashing the Qing soldiers to the point of crying. Being hit by a big wood is not something that can be endured by wearing cotton armor, or even wearing iron armor. More than one Qing soldier was smashed and vomited blood on the spot.

After a round of log~www.wuxiaspot.com~ there were hundreds of Qing soldiers who fell on the mountain road. Most of them did not die, but were unable to move due to various injuries, lying there screaming one slice.

The tragic situation of the Qing army made the soldiers in the rear battalion above cheer, and Zhao Sihai was also very happy. He thought that the Qing army would choose to retreat after paying such a large number of casualties, but unexpectedly, the Qing army not only did not retreat, but sent more troops. troops rushed up.

After the second and third rounds of log-rolling, more and more Qing troops fell on the mountain road. People were piled on top of each other, and people were facing each other. I don't know how many casualties there were. However, the Qing army's attack still did not stop, but continued. Once again, there were many more Han army flag soldiers who appeared in front.

The logs on the mountain have been used up and replaced by rocks. However, under the cover of the wooden planks held above the heads of the Qing army, the stones did not cause many deaths to them. As the Qing army got closer and closer, all the soldiers in the rear camp on the mountain knew that the real **** battle was about to begin.

The news from the front made Wu Jinzhong gnashing his teeth. He suffered hundreds of casualties but failed to break the line of defense of the thieves. This made him very unwilling. The bandit army on the mountain can still hold up under the front and rear attacks! (To be continued..)
