Faced with the cavalry onslaught of the Qing army, Tan Zetian had no choice but to let the army immediately release arrows. The other officers and soldiers of the Restoration Army formed formations one after another to prepare to deal with the impact of the Qing army. But they faced the Eight Banners, and they were cavalry. These Eight Banners soldiers have all experienced the defense of Nanjing, and their combat effectiveness is very impressive. In the face of the bows and arrows of the Restoration Army, they were not afraid and directly took out the bows and arrows on their horses to fight back.

Immediately, the soldiers on both sides suffered casualties, but the Eight Banners were indeed proficient in mounted archery. The Restoration Army shot and killed a dozen Eight Banner soldiers, while the Restoration Army itself was shot to death by the Qing Army. It turned out that these Manchurians fired three arrows in a row, and they shot a lot more arrows than the Restoration Army. Moreover, their arrows were shot accurately and quickly, and for a while, the Restoration Army had the upper hand in the bow and arrow exchange.

But after three arrows, people on both sides didn't have time to shoot arrows. The two armies were already about to collide, and everyone abandoned their bows and arrows and fought directly with their knives. The Manchurians borrowed the impact of horses. Suddenly, more than a dozen soldiers of the Restoration Army were knocked into the air and soared, and then fell to the ground fiercely.

And the other soldiers of the Restoration Army, because they are all short and tall, they can't reach the Eight Banners soldiers on horses. Suddenly, the soldiers of the Restoration Army were beaten and confused by the Manchurian cavalry, and many people were hacked to death by the condescending cavalry.

As soon as Tan Zetian escaped the slashing of a Qing soldier, he saw that his subordinates were killed and injured by the Qing soldiers. Although the officers and men of the Restoration Army rushed to the Qing soldiers without hesitation, the infantry was against the cavalry, which was a natural disadvantage. Tan Zetian was furious and saw a Qing soldier who was cutting down a soldier of the Restoration Army to the ground with a knife. Suddenly roared angrily and rushed straight over. Then he jumped up and threw the soldier off his horse.

When the other soldiers of the Restoration Army around him saw it, they hurriedly came over and two of them helped, and hacked this Qing soldier to death in a few clicks. Tan Zetian saw that it was useful, and immediately understood. As long as these Qing soldiers are pulled off the horse, the Restoration Army will definitely not lose to these Qing soldiers, and they will definitely be able to annihilate them.

Immediately, Tan Zetian yelled: "Chop off the horse's legs and get them all down for me." "Just now, the Qing soldiers saw that the Restoration Army was under the attack of cavalry, and they had no power to resist at all. Immediately, they were careless, they didn't rush out at all, gathered the formation and charged again. Now he is being entangled in the crowd by the Restoration Army, and he has lost his speed advantage for a while.

When the soldiers of the Restoration Army heard Tan Zetian's shout, they immediately formed a team of several people and cooperated with each other. Some people blocked the offensive of the Eight Banners, and some leaned over to cut off the horse's legs, and for a while, the horses were cut off one after another. Suddenly, the Eight Banners soldiers kept falling off their horses, and then before these Qing soldiers got up, they were instantly surrounded and hacked to death by the Restoration Army on the ground.

Some of the Eight Banners soldiers who discovered the situation still wanted to rush out and gather their teams to charge again. But in this way, the Restoration Army entangled the Eight Banners, where would they let them go. The Restoration Army in front of the Eight Banners was desperately trying to block it, and the Eight Banners also rushed out desperately.

Seeing that the Eight Banners Qing soldiers were about to rush out, Qi Baoping of the Yangtze River Office also rushed over with people. The Eight Banners were completely blocked, and it didn't take long for the 100 Qing soldiers who rushed out of Jiangning Town to be completely annihilated by the Restoration Army. But the Restoration Army also paid the price of more than 200 people.

Tan Zetian and Qi Baoping didn't have time to be sad, and directly led the army to rush into Jiangning Town, which was still fighting. The situation in Jiangning Town is much better than outside, the roads in the town are already narrow, and Liu Guoyu's army is running around the town. The Eight Banners who rushed out of the room had no place for the cavalry to charge.

The Eight Banners soldiers who did not rush out in the town fought with the Restoration Army in the town. And the green battalion soldiers, who had already been frightened and fled in all directions, did not dare to return at all, let alone resist the Restoration Army with the Eight Banners. Even Liu Guoyu saw that on the way back to Nanjing, he was blocked by the Fuming army, and immediately ran in the direction of Dangtu with people.

The Eight Banners soldiers in the town, hearing Wu Xiaoli's order, hurriedly broke through outside the town. However, the Restoration Army that invaded Jiangning Town had more than 2,000 people. A hundred people ran out of the Eight Banners before, and then the Fuming Army found out and blocked the way for the Eight Banners to break through. For a while, the Eight Banners felt that the entire Jiangning Town was full of Restoration Army, and there was no road to break through.

Wu Xiaoli went through several charges, although he also lost a lot of Eight Banners. But by his own side, there were also more than 200 people, and for a time a large force was formed. The surrounding Fuming army wanted to break up this group of Qing soldiers, but they were all dispersed by Wu Xiaoli, and they were about to highlight the town.

At this time, Liu Zhen also discovered Wu Xiaoli and others, and immediately rushed over with people, blocking the way out of Wu Xiaoli and others. Wu Xiaoli saw that someone was coming to stop him, and immediately shouted: "Who are you? Dare to attack our Eight Banners army, you are really bold. ”

Liu Zhen sneered: "Don't blow the atmosphere, what a bullshit Eight Banners army, Lao Tzu killed more Eight Banner soldiers." Lao Tzu is the army of the Ming Dynasty, what kind of thing are you, you actually rushed in front of me and spoke wildly. Kill them, annihilate them all, and avenge the people of the town with their heads. ”

Wu Xiaoli said: "What bullshit is that the Ming army is just a group of rabble. You occupy the mountains as bandits on weekdays, and if you don't go to encircle and suppress you, it's just fine. actually said wildly, and said that what kind of Ming army, now the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has been killed, where are you from the Ming Dynasty. ”

Liu Zhen was taken aback and said secretly: "The emperor was killed in Burma, and there is no news about it." How did these Qing soldiers know that the emperor had been killed? But he roared, "Then let you see who the rabble is." Everyone listened to the order and rushed to kill with all their might, so that these Eight Banners miscellaneous people knew what the Iron Army was. Give them a long insight, kill. ”

Roaring, Liu Zhen took the lead in rushing towards the Qing soldiers, and the other soldiers of the Restoration Army also followed. Seeing this, Wu Xiaoli also discovered that these Ming troops were different from the usual Ming army. Immediately, the army was also encouraged and rushed towards the Restoration Army.

There were people fighting all over the town, but overall it was the Restoration Army that had the upper hand. And with the passage of time, the Restoration Army has many people after all, and the advantages on the battlefield have become more and more obvious. At this time, Tan Zetian and Qi Baoping, who were outside the town, also led their teams into the town, and suddenly the situation of the Qing soldiers became more and more unfavorable.

Wu Xiaoli, who was at war with Liu Zhen, obviously hadn't noticed this yet, and was still fighting with Liu Zhen and me. One of the two is young and has great strength, while Wu Xiaoli is experienced and ruthless. The two fought a draw for a while, and no one could help anyone.

The two raised their knives again, and the knife in Liu Zhen's hand suddenly "ding", and Liu Zhen found that the knife in his hand was unbearable and broke into two. Seeing this, Liu Zhen hurriedly retreated from the army to restore the Ming Dynasty. When Wu Xiaoli saw it, he was immediately overjoyed, and was about to take the opportunity to take Liu Zhen's life. The pro-soldiers next to him ran over, grabbed Wu Xiaoli and said, "General, we can't fight anymore, we have to leave quickly." ”

Wu Xiaoli roared: "Don't pull me, I'm going to kill this leader of the Ming army." The soldier hurriedly said: "General, now is not the time, let's talk about this later." Now that we are surrounded, hurry up and retreat. Wu Xiaoli roared: "Retreat what? Our Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty have never lost a battle, and when I kill the leader of the Ming army, we will be able to turn defeat into victory, and you go and let the soldiers hold on. ”

At this time, Liu Zhen took another knife, was killing it, and yelled: "Don't run, let's fight for dozens of rounds, and we will definitely take your head today." Wu Xiaoli was not afraid of Liu Zhen, and immediately pushed his own soldiers to the side and said: "Go and gather the army, and when I kill the leader of the Ming army, I will immediately counterattack." As long as the Ming army does not have this leader, it is just a rabble, and we can defeat them with a single charge. ”

As he spoke, he stopped caring about the pro-soldier, turned to Liu Zhen and said, "Run?" Lao Tzu has never run, and if he wants to run, he will chase and kill you bandits. As he spoke, he raised his knife to meet Liu Zhen, and suddenly the two fought together again. The pro-soldier saw that Wu Xiaoli did not listen to his words, and saw that the Eight Banners were struggling to resist under the offensive of the Restoration Army.

Although the Eight Banners are also the strongest soldiers in the world, the Restoration Army that is attacking now is also an elite soldier in a hundred battles. In addition, the current terrain has great restrictions on the Eight Banners, but it is conducive to the squad formation of the Restoration Army. Suddenly, under the attack of the Restoration Army, the Eight Banners continued to fall.

Wu Xiaoli and Liu Zhen attacked each other for more than a dozen rounds, and when the two separated again. The situation of the Eight Banners is already precarious, and a large number of Restoration Army has been surrounded by the periphery. The shouting and killing in the entire Jiangning town has also become much smaller. Only then did Wu Xiaoli notice that the surrounding Eight Banners had been forced by the Restoration Army to gather here.

The total number of people is only about 300 people, and they are still falling under the attack of the Restoration Army. Wu Xiaoli was shocked and said to his soldiers: "What's the matter?" Didn't they all break through and go outside the town? How did you get surrounded here? ”

The pro-soldier said bitterly: "My lord, it's not that we don't want to attack, but this Ming army is different from the previous Ming army, they are very elite and well-coordinated. If we don't break through in formation, we won't be able to break out at all. But by the time we found out, it was too late. The Ming army killed more than 300 of us at the very beginning. ”

Wu Xiaoli said: "That's not right, even if more than 300 people are killed, it won't be just that." The soldier said, "When we fought and retreated with them just now, there were more than 200 casualties. There were more than two hundred other people, scattered everywhere and rushed out. But it is estimated that there will be more luck and less luck, otherwise there will be no news. ”

Wu Xiaoli became anxious and said, "Then why didn't you tell me just now?" The pro-soldier suddenly shouted: "My lord, I said it just now, and let the adult leave immediately." But at that time, the general wanted to kill the leader of the Ming army, and he didn't care at all. Wu Xiaoli then remembered that the pro-soldier did let him leave in a hurry just now.

Immediately, Wu Xiaoli said: "Regardless of this, hurry up and let people break through." We must rush out and report to Nanjing. Otherwise, when these Ming troops go to Nanjing, our sins will be great. The pro-soldier looked at the Ming army surrounding him, and suddenly lost confidence, but now that Wu Xiaoli had given the order, he had no choice but to carry it out.

Immediately, Wu Xiaoli took the remaining more than 200 Eight Banner soldiers and began to break through to the outside of the town. Liu Zhen also saw that Wu Xiaoli wanted to break through, and immediately shouted: "The Qing soldiers are defeated, they want to run." Everyone blocked them, and the archers in the back shot those who were going to break through. ”

The Restoration Army, which was behind the crowd, immediately opened their bows one after another, looking for an opportunity to shoot arrows at the Qing army that was preparing to break through. Immediately, more than a dozen Qing soldiers fell with arrows, and even Wu Xiaoli was shot by an arrow. Seeing this, Wu Xiaoli also knew that he couldn't get out today.

Wu Xiaoli immediately shouted at the remaining Eight Banners: "Now we are surrounded by the Ming army, and there is no hope of breaking through, so we can only die for the country." The children of the Eight Banners, take out your bloody nature, follow me to kill the Ming army, and let them see the power of our Eight Banners. ”
