Before the war, Yuzhu once analyzed that the Hutus Pass was a tough nut to crack.
The difficulty is that the terrain is narrow, difficult to deploy, and the attack is from the top.
Whether throwing rocks on the mountain, firing cannons, or counterattacking, the ultimate goal is to undermine the morale of the attacking side.
Therefore, Yuzhu sent Niu Tai to lead troops to attack the mountain.
Niu Tai, this kid, once he goes to the battlefield, he has to either lie down or complete the mission. There is no third possibility.
The advantage of the new army created by Yuzhu is strict military discipline.
However, without Niu Tai charging forward, even with military discipline, it would be hard to say.
On the attacking side, there are actually not many tactics available.
On the way, Yuzhu had already developed several strategies for dealing with the defenders.
If a big stone is thrown at the mountain, you can only cling to the cliff and carry it with force.
When artillery is fired on the mountain, even with shotgun shells, the number of New Army soldiers killed at once is very limited.
Moreover, the artillery guns of this era were all retractable. Once a gun was fired, it would take at least five minutes to drag it back to its original position, reload, etc.
Counterattack down the mountain, this is the focus of Yuzhu's research.
If the two armies are fighting together, who will benefit more?
Of course it is more beneficial to the new army.
Because the advantages of long-term training and strict military discipline can be fully utilized.
Niu Tai had already seen the quasi-military troops rushing down with great force. According to Yuzhu's prior instructions, he asked the soldiers behind him to pass on the orders one by one.
"You are not allowed to shoot. Just try to get as close as possible. Wait for me to shoot, and then shoot in sequence."
The mountain path is extremely narrow, but it can still allow five to six people to walk abreast.
A shed (squad) of soldiers is divided into two rows, squatting forward and standing back, which can also create a dense rain of bullets.
The quasi-military counterattack was so aggressive that it looked really scary.
However, no matter how scared he was, Niu Tai was at the front and never retreated. Who dared to take even half a step back?
Raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a moment is the right time!
Closer, closer, closer!
Niu Tai gave the order calmly, six people in a row, two rows in a group, squatting forward and standing back. After firing the gun, he pressed against the cliff to reload.
In the mountain road, people from the quasi-military army rushed down in a mighty manner. Niu Tai was no longer afraid of the enemies throwing stones, so he simply formed an attack formation with volleys of guns.
Soon enough, the first paramilitary soldier appeared in front of Niu Tai, waving a long knife in his hand and shouting a bird song that the Qing army could not understand.
The distance was roughly more than ninety feet, and Niu Tai ordered without hesitation, "First row, aim and release."
"Pah, pah, pah..." The crisp gunshots sounded like popping beans.
The first row of soldiers who had passed their guns hunched over, pressed against the wall, and nervously began to reload their weapons.
"Aim and release."
"put."
"put.
On the narrow mountain road, the New Army soldiers did not need to aim very hard. They would reap rewards if they fired their volleys of guns.
"Ah..." In the dense rain of bullets, several quasi-military soldiers suffered lead bullets and fell.
The mountain road is extremely narrow, and the volley of six people is already the limit.
If there is one more person, there will be no room to move around.
Tuobuqi, who was rushing behind, originally thought that he could easily defeat the Qing army.
Who would have thought that the soldiers rushing ahead would actually stop.
The people behind were still rushing forward, and in the chaos, several people were actually pushed off the cliff.
"Listen to my order, fix your bayonet and charge upward!" Niu Tai seized the enemy's panicked fighter, pulled out the sword from his waist, and charged forward first.
"Kill..."
"Rush..."
Niu Tai took the lead in charging, who would dare not to?
This Niu Tai is also very interesting. He can't say any sweet words, but he uses his actions to tell his subordinates that if you rush together with me, if you advance, you will live, if you retreat, you will die.
The morale of the new army was greatly boosted, and they charged forward with shouts.
Good guy, the quasi-military army is still in chaos.
The mountain road is too narrow, and Tobqi's orders cannot be transmitted to the front at all.
Seeing the Qing army shouting and charging forward, the soldiers of the Quasi Army became more and more panicked and turned around and ran back.
However, the soldiers behind the Quasi Army were still rushing down, and the scene became increasingly chaotic.
The distance between the two armies was only a few dozen meters. Niu Tai saw the big flaw in the chaos of the quasi-military army, and stopped without hesitation and ordered his subordinates to fire again.
With such a large group of people gathered on the narrow mountain road, even if the musket was not very accurate, the damage would be considerable.
"Bah, bang, bang..." After several rounds of firing, except for the people who were shot down, all the quasi-troops turned around and ran up.
Niu Tai couldn't help but feel overjoyed. The miraculous scene his master mentioned actually happened.
"Fight with me!" Niu Tai simply threw away the obstructive rifle in his hand, picked up the sword, and chased the quasi-junior behind.
There is only one word difference between fighting against Lao Tzu and fighting against Lao Tzu, but they are vastly different.
Niu Tai's example inspired the already tired New Army soldiers. Everyone gritted their teeth, gripped the barrels of their guns, and bravely followed behind Niu Tai.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Dugar quickly ordered the gunners at the mountain pass, "Fire, fire quickly!"
The gunners looked at each other and stood there stupidly, not immediately obeying the order.
All fools know that if you fire now, you will only hit your own people!
When Dugar saw that the gunners had not moved, his mind suddenly came to his senses. There were still some of his own people who had retreated in defeat at the foot of the mountain.
Forget it, it's not too late to fire again after your own people have withdrawn first.
Tobqi took the lead and fled back to the mountain. He gasped and said: "General, this time the Qing Tatars are really evil. None of them are afraid of death!"
Dugar smiled coldly. The mountain road was extremely rugged. Although he did not see the specific fighting conditions on the mountain road, he dared to conclude that Tobuqi was lying.
He rushed down from a high position and was defeated. Instead, he was bitten by the enemy and chased to death. Tobuqi was a loser.
It's just that the military situation is urgent, and Dugar has no time to deal with Tobqi for the time being.
After all his own people fled into the camp, Dugar shouted sharply: "Why don't you fire the artillery?"
"Boom..." This time, the gunners of the paramilitary army had no scruples and fired.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Boom." A solid iron bullet, mixed with deadly wind and thunder, viciously smashed into the ranks of the New Army soldiers.
"Ah..." Wherever the iron bullets hit, they were either killed or injured, which was terrible to see.
Niu Tai always remembered Yuzhu's advice. The most dangerous moment was when the quasi-military troops aimed at the mountain road and fired artillery, causing huge losses.
At this time, if you can't hold on and retreat, everything you do in the front will be in vain, and the blood of the soldiers will be in vain!
It takes time to reload the artillery. Niu Tai endured the great grief, wiped the tears from his eyes, waved the steel knife in his hand vigorously, and shouted sternly: "Come with me!"
At the critical moment, Niu Tai stepped forward again and set an example for everyone. Naturally, it was a huge boost to the morale of the military.
"Come on!"
"Kill!"
At such a critical moment, how could one have time to clean up the corpses of comrades piled up on the mountain road?
The officers and soldiers of the new army were forced to step on the bodies of their comrades, shouting and roaring with tears in their eyes, and rushed towards the mountain.
The loading of artillery takes time.
The loading of artillery takes time.
Niu Tai, who was at the front of the big team, kept silently repeating Yuzhu's instructions.
As he was rushing upward, Niu Tai's eyes suddenly opened up.
At this time, Niu Tai's eyelids twitched. Oh no, the enemy will definitely open fire.
"Lie down, lie down!" Niu Tai cleverly got down on the ground and gave the order at the same time.
Not long after Niu Tai lay down, the quasi-army opened fire. Several flaming red solid iron projectiles roared over Niu Tai's head and smashed viciously into the ranks of the New Army soldiers.
The mountain road was too narrow, and the soldiers of the New Army faced the solid iron projectiles coming out of the barrel with their bodies. For a while, they suffered heavy casualties.
The loading of artillery takes time.
As soon as the sound of gunfire stopped, Niu Tai jumped up from the ground and once again shouted the classic command of a simple and honest man: "Come with me! Charge with me!"
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!
If you don't rush now, all the sacrifices you have made will be worthless.
To be honest, this round of paramilitary bombardment caused extremely heavy losses to the New Army soldiers.
In just one encounter, more than forty soldiers died.
Morale is inevitably a little low!
However, Niu Tai survived and stepped forward again, charging upwards with his sword.
"Come on..." The formation was broken up and the organization was in complete chaos. However, the leaders, team officers, and sentry officers, as long as they were still alive, all rushed up with their guns drawn.
The shed leaders also rushed up.
All the officers were dead. Is it possible for the soldiers who escaped back to survive without losing their heads?
"I'm going to risk it all, go ahead!" Encouraged by the officers' bravery and fearlessness, a soldier rushed up with a rifle in hand.
"Eighteen years later, he is a good man again."
"Bah, I will become an official if I don't die."
Whether an army has combat effectiveness depends first on its commander, and second on its backbone officer corps at the company and platoon level.
At the front of the team is Yuzhu's haha beads, which are marked by Niutai.
Those who rushed up were the officers who were lucky enough to survive. What reason did the soldiers have not to rush up?
The officers of Principal Chang's army were all hiding behind their backs, shouting at the top of their lungs: "Come on me, anyone who dares not to charge will be shot."
In Yuzhu's army, the officers set an example and took the lead in charging.
If you don't follow the charging soldiers, even if you escape back, you still can't escape the ghost-headed sword!
"Rush..."
"Kill..."
"I'm willing to risk everything..."
"I'm afraid of eggs..."
The New Army soldiers held their rifles straight and followed Niu Tai, followed closely by the officers, and rushed upward bravely to kill him.

The main force leading the mountain attack behind Niu Tai was Lu Wu's first choice.
When Lu Wu saw this posture, he issued the order for a general attack without hesitation.
"Blow the trumpet and charge. Anyone who dares to take even half a step back will be killed without mercy. It will bring harm to our descendants and parents. Don't blame me for my poisonous hands!"
