Chapter 39 Splendid Women's Camp
The Taiping Boy Scout named Chen Picheng looked at the age of only fifteen or sixteen, but was very heroic. What's even more special is that there were moles under his eyes. He looked like four eyes. Although his face was still childish, his clear eyes were filled with a rebellious heroic spirit.
He was wearing a red trouser clothes from the children's camp, and the trouser clothes were similar to those of the Taiping Army's adult military horse trouser clothes, but the big words "Taiping Sheng Tong" were written on the front of the trouser clothes, and the clothes inside were ordinary short jackets like those of the adult Taiping Army.
Originally, the boy soldiers in the Taiping Army were not divided into separate systems, but were classified as the tail cards of each two Sima Tong, and each two Sima had several old and weak tail cards. Chen Picheng's male soldiers were under the jurisdiction of Xiao Chaogui, the chief general of the former army. However, before rushing to Changsha, all the old and weak tail cards in the camp were left behind, and only the adult soldiers and generals were mentioned to fight, so Chen Picheng and other boy soldiers stayed in Chenzhou.
These boy soldiers were very fighting spirit and had always regarded death as supreme glory. This time they attacked Changsha, they were kept, which made the boy soldiers extremely depressed. Before Xiao Chaogui went to war, Chen Picheng and several boy soldiers leaders wanted to ask the Western King Xiao Chaogui to ask the reason for their love, but they could not see Xiao Chaogui. Only Li Kaifang, the former army, told them that the former army's boy soldiers suffered a great loss in the battle of attacking Guilin this spring, and asked them to stay and leave some good seedlings for the Western King's front army.
Chen Picheng and others remembered the fierce battle in Guilin. The boy soldiers led the way, and the casualties were indeed heavy, but the losses were not great compared to the front army. Chen Pi wanted to break the bastard and asked the truth, but was grabbed by his uncle Chen Chengying. His uncle Chen Chengying was a guard of the Yulin and one of the old long-haired men. Since the capture of Yong'an, he has been with the King of Dong. Chen Chengying scolded Chen Picheng and left. He was scolded by his uncle for not fighting. He kept making Chen Picheng depressed.
Fortunately, more than ten days later, the King of Heaven and King of the East ordered the Queen of the West to command the Queen Hong Xuanjiao to lead the female soldiers Jinxiu Camp and the boy soldiers of the front army to go north to support the King of the West, Xiao Chaogui, and Chen Picheng was happy again.
On Yanziling, a row of guns drove the Qing demon back. Chen Picheng cheered and heard the beautiful woman in front of him loudly giving instructions. Chen Picheng immediately accepted the order loudly and said, "I will follow the order of the Western Princess!" After that, he clasped his fists and bowed, and then turned around.
The female general under this banner is the girl of the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing, the sister recognized by the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, the daughter of the Heavenly Father Emperor God in the mortal world, the wife of the Western King Xiao Chaogui, and the Western King’s Lady Hong Xuanjiao!
Seeing Chen Picheng happily heading back, Hong Xuanjiao smiled and said in his heart: "This future King of England would not have thought that this would be like this now. Perhaps he would have experienced more wars in the future, so that he could become a famous general in the heavenly kingdom."
Thinking of this, I heard the female soldiers and boy soldiers holding muskets beside me laughing at the Qing army at the foot of the mountain with loud voices: "A group of men just ran away like this, aren't you ashamed?" "The Qing demon is vulnerable, and even women and children have fought, hahaha."
The screams of the female soldiers on Yanziling and the childish laughter of the boy soldiers on Yanziling changed color, and many Qing soldiers could not hold back and wanted to rush up the mountain, but were suppressed by Qing army generals at all levels.
Hong Xuanjiao looked at the female soldiers chattering loudly at the Qing army at the foot of the mountain, and her smile became even more beautiful. During the Jintian Uprising, the whole family of worshipped the God Church participated in the regiment camp, and the women also organized the female army like men. These women were all women who were used to rough work in the farmland. They usually carried loads and plowed fields and were very strong. The outfits of the female army were similar to those of the male army. They were long swords on their waists, narrow sleeves and short clothes, and they could rag and rag on horseback. The yellow turban was red in their feet. They were brave and healthy than men.
During the Yong'an Battle to break the siege, the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan ordered the entire army to "all the men and women hold swords, and dare to kill monsters together." In this battle to break the siege, the female army also made great contributions. They fought side by side with the male army, swept away many Qing soldiers, broke many copper gates, and fought all the way to Chenzhou. Hong Xuanjiao was the daughter of the Heavenly Father, the sister of the Heavenly King, the sister of the East King, and the wife of the West King. Several identities made her extremely noble and beautiful. The Taiping Army called her "Flowers of Taiping". All the female soldiers under her were silver banners and shields, so she was known as the Jinxiu Camp of Female Soldiers.
Although Hong Xuanjiao brought few people to this expedition, the firearms had to be allocated, including more than 200 muskets, bird guns, and muskets, two 100 kilograms of copper cannons, eight kilograms of spray guns, and more than 1,000 kilograms of red medicine. Wherever this partial division passed, the Taiping Army and the Qing army had a staggering tooth. The King of Heaven and the King of East were worried about the lack of combat power of female soldiers and boy soldiers, and they were also worried about Hong Xuanjiao's safety, so they allocated more firearms to apply.
Most of Hong Xuanjiao's female guards in Jinxiu Camp had used firearms. The boy soldiers of the former army had also experienced many fierce battles, and many people could use guns and cannons. When they went to war, Hong Xuanjiao gathered people who could use firearms under her command, and only then could she protect herself once she met the Qing army.
After Hong Xuanjiao's troops left Chenzhou, they did not follow Xiao Chaogui's advance route. Hong Xuanjiao calculated that there would be a large group of Qing troops following Xiao Chaogui's butt, so they went to Hengdong and Zhuzhou to Changsha. Along the way, they found local poor people as guides, tried to avoid the official roads of the main roads, took a small road and advanced quickly. After sneaking through Xiangtan to Dongjingpu, they received news that Changsha had been captured by the Western King Xiao Chaogui. The whole army was very happy.
Before they could be happy, the people came to report that a large number of Qing troops came from Xiangtan, and the terrain of Dongjingpu was flat and not conducive to defense. After several female soldiers and the leaders of the boy soldiers discussed, Hong Xuanjiao ordered the entire army to retreat to Yanziling beside Dongjingpu.
The Qing army in Xiangtan was Deng Shaoliang's army. Deng Shaoliang had many years of suppressing bandits and was experienced. Whenever he sent troops, he would release horses from all directions, so he was very careful. Soon he learned that a Taiping army was retreating to Yanziling. Deng Shaoliang did not dare to neglect, so he immediately led his troops to follow him, and the battle just broke out.
Hearing the sneer of the woman and the boy on the mountain, the Qing military officers beside Deng Shaoliang were furious, but Deng Shaoliang remained silent and asked lightly: "Have you saved me?"
A Qing army general reported: "Mr. Zhu suffered a gunshot wound on his left shoulder, and his wound was very serious. Fortunately, he had no worries about his life."
Deng Shaoliang said with a nod, "I sent someone to send my son back to Xiangtan for medical treatment. The trauma of lead in the body is difficult to heal, so I need to take good care of him."
Mr. Qian took the order loudly, and the Qing generals on the side came forward to ask for the battle. They felt that they could not hold back their anger by being ridiculed by a group of women and young men on the mountain.
Deng Shaoliang was scheming and asked indifferently: "You have been dealing with the bandits for a long time, but don't you know the nature of the thief? A group of big-footed mana are just stingy. There is no water source on this Yanzi Ridge. We only need to keep a close eye on the road. We will break this ridge in three days. Let them shout, why do you have to spend more effort to attack the mountain?" The Qing generals suddenly realized and praised Deng Shaoliang's brilliant plan.
On Yanziling, the female soldiers of the Taiping Army and the Boys Army shouted for a long time that the Qing army came to attack the mountain again. Hong Xuanjiao was puzzled and had to let everyone stop and prepare for the war.
At this moment, Hu Damei, the brigade commander among the female soldiers in Jinxiu Camp, hurriedly came to report: "Xiwangniang, there is no water source on this mountain. We have searched all the hills but we have not seen any water source."
This Hu Damei is the mother of Liang Litai, the commander of the second army of the men's camp. She is already a woman in her fifties. After participating in the Jintian Uprising, she played a backbone role in the female army and was a general in the Jinxiu camp.
After hearing Hu Damei's words, Hong Xuanjiao woke up like a dream and said in secret that it was not good. No wonder the Qing army just surrounded the mountains but did not attack the mountains, because they knew that there was no water source on the mountain and only guarded the mountain road, and their own troops would collapse like Ma Su guarding Jieting without fighting.
I still suffered a loss and never fought a war. Although I had some memories in my mind, I couldn't help but miss it when I used it in actual combat. A small mistake actually put everyone in danger. What should I do now, sister? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but panic.
