Chapter 1033 A gift to the mountain chief
"Brothers, follow me and kill!"
At Pingchang Pass, the Han defenders were brave and good at fighting and tried their best to stop them.
Finally, reinforcements arrived!
As soon as the reinforcements arrived, they immediately abandoned their horses and carriages and rushed up to support them.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"
The small Pingchang Pass was full of sounds of fighting.
It's a pity that the Han reinforcements arrived a little late after all. The Taiping Taoist Kingdom had already broken through the city wall and invaded the city.
The battle between the two sides in the city will be carried out street by street.
"Everyone takes turns to cover and retreat quickly!"
Upon seeing this, the battalion commander who came to support immediately changed his tactics, abandoned Pingchang Pass, and then rescued the survivors.
"Chase, don't let the Han army escape!"
The Taiping Taoist army was determined to pursue them, but if the number of pursuers who came out was small, they would be quickly strangled by the Han army.
There is no doubt about the strength of the Han army.
The Taiping Taoist Kingdom also used its elites to break through barriers. Now these elites are dead, injured, and even exhausted.
Without these people, the remaining Taiping Tao Kingdom heavenly soldiers cannot be said to be a mob, but they cannot stop the Han army from retreating.
"Uuuuuuu, Commander of the third battalion, our first battalion is in so much misery."
The supporting third battalion immediately built a simple bunker using horse-drawn carriages after retreating to a certain distance.
"Stop crying, we must take revenge!"
"But before taking revenge, we must first complete the construction of a simple city defense camp."
The first battalion suffered heavy losses, but the task of the third battalion was not light. Moreover, with this simple fortress, it could not stop the enemy's fierce attack.
By then, the casualties of the third battalion will not be less than those of the first battalion.
"I just hope the reinforcements will arrive quickly!"
All the messengers from the third battalion were dispatched. After all, Pingchang Pass was broken, which meant that the villages and towns in this two hundred-mile area were all under the threat of the Taiping Tao Kingdom.
Therefore, all villages and towns must prepare for war.
Move people, move food and fodder.
Anyway, everything needs to be moved.
Keeping the wall strong and clearing the field is an old trick of the Han army. Those who have already mastered it can no longer master it.
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't fall behind!"
As the messengers conveyed the news, organized reinforcements had begun to move towards their designated destinations.
These reinforcements are all militiamen, but they belong to the reserves of the Han army.
They will be the first batch to be replenished into the second-level combat troops.
As the sky gradually lights up, more than half of the county towns in Pinglu County and Changxi County have completed their assembly.
As for the remaining half, although the specific information has not yet been delivered, they have completed the security work.
.........
The heavenly soldiers of the Taiping Tao Kingdom and the vanguard general had breakfast in Pingchang Pass as they wished.
But his meal was not very pleasant.
We conducted a surprise attack yesterday and organized officers to attack in heavy armor. The results seemed to be quite fruitful.
But looking at the results, we saw that our side suffered more than 7,000 casualties.
Be good!
His vanguard army only numbered more than 10,000 people, but the battle losses exceeded half of them!
As for the Han army, according to the intelligence, there were only more than a thousand people. Including the sudden but rapid retreat, there would not be more than 3,000 people killed.
After cleaning the scene, only one thousand and forty-seven bodies of the Han army could be counted.
In other words, they played an amazing exchange ratio.
It didn't matter in the dark night, but as day broke, the huge casualties suddenly shocked everyone.
Morale cannot be said to be low, after all, they won the battle.
But morale cannot be said to be high. After all, their losses were too great.
Depressed!
Nowadays, all the Taiping Dao Kingdom's heavenly soldiers in Pingchang Pass feel depressed.
In the dilapidated Pingchang Pass, the wounded could not be accommodated, so that the wailing of the wounded affected many, many people.
Cleaning the battlefield and looking at the corpses of their comrades, many people became numb due to depression.
It seems that they have felt this scene since they became a soldier.
In other words, from the very beginning, they had predicted that one day they would fall on the battlefield.
But the sadness and depression in my heart cannot be avoided.
"Inform the Chinese army camp that our vanguard army has captured Pingchang Pass, but more than half of the troops have been lost. Please support us."
The vanguard general sighed, "How's my commando doing?"
The deputy general beside him lowered his head and said nothing, which gave the vanguard general a bad feeling in his heart.
"Did they suffer heavy losses?"
The deputy general said solemnly: "The commando team was at war with the Han army. Basically the entire army was wiped out. Only nine people survived, and all of them were seriously injured."
"I'm afraid, they may not be able to survive it!"
"Bang!"
The chopsticks in the vanguard general's hand fell to the ground and he asked in surprise: "Why are the losses so heavy?"
Then he hugged his head and cried, "How can I be worthy of the mountain leader?"
The vanguard general was really not just pretending, he was really flustered and crying!
Good guy, we defeated Chiang Fenghua's direct officer corps in the first battle, and suffered most of his own casualties.
In other words, he is also a direct descendant, otherwise the only thing waiting for him would be death.
But even so, he estimated that he was not far away from being demoted.
The deputy general also felt sad for the pioneer general's cry.
If for no other reason, General Pioneer is having a hard time, will his life in the future be easy?
There is no way, who made them fight like this.
They knew how elite the Han army was, but this was too elite!
As the deputy general, he saw the battle of the Legion Commando with his own eyes. The Han troops who counterattacked were also wearing heavy armor and were not afraid of death.
He knew very well that those Han soldiers were also officers of the Han army.
and many more......
officer......
The deputy general suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but slap his thigh fiercely.
"General, we have killed many Han army officers!"
"what?"
The vanguard general stopped crying when he heard this. He suddenly stood up and grabbed the deputy general and asked.
"Will you say what you just said again?"
The adjutant said cautiously: "General, we have killed many Han army officers."
At this moment, the vanguard general burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay, take me there quickly!"
Then the group of people came to the place where the corpses of the Han army were disposed of, but when the vanguard general looked at the naked corpse of the Han army officer, he looked puzzled.
"Is this an officer of the Han army?"
The lieutenant general quickly explained: "Yes, general, these officers' armors are all very good. Although they are damaged a lot, they still have protective power, so they were stripped by the soldiers!"
The general nodded when he heard this. The Han army's armor was notoriously good, especially the officers'.
So, "Where is the armor? Take me to see it quickly!"
The adjutant hesitated for a moment, "General, what about these officers of the Han army...?"
The vanguard general waved his hand casually: "As long as it is confirmed to be an officer of the Han army, then all of them will have their heads chopped off as a gift to the mountain chief."
"promise!"
