Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Great Victory

In mid-September, a full month has passed since the Ning family's uprising, and in this month, there have been many changes in the Ning family, and there have been great changes in the world.

Ning Yu was stationed in Xiaoshi Village with two battalions of the 2nd Regiment, and although this decision was opposed by everyone, under Ning Yu's tough attitude, he had to let it go.

Cheng Zhien didn't understand it very much, and wanted to change with Ning Yu, so he took two battalions to guard Xiaoshi Village, and let Ning Yu continue to lead troops to suppress Daye City until the result came out here.

But in Ning Yu's thoughts, the focus of this battle was not on Daye at all, but on Xiaoshi Village and Qizhou. Therefore, in order to control the situation on the battlefield at the first time, Ning Yu once again put himself in danger, facing the impact of the 3,000 Huangzhou Association with 1,200 people.

According to the news of the spies, the two large battalions of the Huangzhou Association have converged, passed the Taoist Priest Xun, and began to set off towards Daye City, and the scouts of the two sides have already exchanged hands, so the Huangzhou Association will soon know about the strangeness here in Xiaoshi Village, which is simply impossible to hide.

After getting this news, Ning Yu ordered Deng Fang to take two battalions to set off around Daye Lake, march towards Qizhou, fight Qizhou and Qichun all the way, and then return to Weiyuankou to intercept the return of Huangzhou Association.

The terrain of Xiaoshi Village is dangerously narrow, facing the direction of the intersection, so there is no need to worry about Huangzhou Association choosing to take a detour. At this time, Xiaoshi Village has been very firmly arranged by Ningyu, there are a total of 20 artillery pieces on the rear position, almost half of the artillery strength of the division has been concentrated, and these 20 guns are all six-pound thunder guns, so it is also very convenient to move, not as heavy as twelve-pound guns.

It wasn't until Shenzheng in the afternoon that Huangzhou Xiecai hurriedly appeared four miles in front of Xiaoshi Village, and at this distance, people could already see a large number of black dots wriggling in the distance, rushing towards Xiaoshi Village.

Zheng Rong also learned about Xiaoshi Village's movements from the spies at this time, and couldn't help but smile coldly, "This rebel really takes himself seriously, and more than a thousand people dare to stop me?" "When he ordered the army to stop three miles away, ready to engage in battle.

However, just when the Huangzhou Association was pressing within three miles, Ning Yu had already ordered the artillery to be fired, and the twenty thunder cannons roared, and one shot smashed into the Huangzhou Association.

At this distance, the hit rate of the thunder cannon was actually not high, but it could not withstand the more than 3,000 people of the Huangzhou Association, so among the 20 flowering shells, five or six of them smashed into the crowd, bringing up a ball of flames and life.

Zheng Rong's face was a little ugly, he had the heart to order his own sub-mother cannon to counterattack, but the Qing army's sub-mother cannon was actually difficult to hit even two miles away, let alone fight against the opponent's artillery, so he had no choice but to order the Qing army to continue to advance, after all, stopping at this time was simply a living target.

With the continuous roar of artillery, there were constantly flowering shells smashed into the crowd, although the casualties were not very large, but the damage to morale was difficult to make up, and many Qing troops began to pretend to be dead and lay down on the ground and did not move.

When the Qing army suffered casualties all the way and reached a distance of nearly two miles, they finally couldn't bear it, and the sub-mother cannon they carried also began to fire, but no matter the distance or the hit rate of the cannon was so low that it was frightening to death, there was no way to smash a few soldiers of the Fu Han Army.

Zheng Rong had no choice but to order the shotgunners and sword players to continue, but as the distance got closer and closer, the artillery strength of the Fu Han army became stronger and stronger, and the hit rate gradually increased, and there were constantly flowering shells that accurately hit the Qing army's formation.

At this time, the soldiers of the Qing army wore the tattered and dirty gowns, and walked forward weakly, they had been frightened by the strong firepower of the Fu Han army, and they had no more thoughts about this rebel army that did not even know where it came from, fatigue and fear made them miserable, and they could only walk aimlessly forward under the coercion of the rear Qianhe general, and from time to time someone fell down.

Ning Yu saw this scene and felt that he seemed to have overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Qing army today, and it seemed that there was no need for Deng Fang to volley from the rear at all. When even the soldiers were ordered to get ready, and waited until the Qing army entered the distance of a hundred paces, they began to launch rounds of roaring.

Qing soldiers continued to fall, but others continued to attack, hundreds of sword players held long knives and small wooden escapes, and howled in front of the formation. For them, this kind of long-range bombardment is really unbearable, and it is better to have a chance in hand-to-hand combat.

Ning Yu snorted coldly, and when he ordered to prepare for hand-to-hand combat, with a loud sound, Xueliang's bayonet was fixed on the muzzle position of the flintlock pistol, reflecting a cold glow in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Hundreds of soldiers of the Fu Han Army in red clothes swept towards the Qing army camp like a red wave, and from time to time the soldiers of the Qing army fell down, and the bloody corpses were thrown all the way.

The battalion commander of the fifth battalion is a side disciple of the Ning family, called Ning Chengzu, he usually doesn't like to use bayonets, so he equipped himself with a machete, at this time, like a killing god, he slashed left and right, and cut the Qing army directly opposite to the ground, but unexpectedly two Qing soldiers appeared on his side, both holding knives and rushing over, stabbing at Ning Chengzu. Ning Chengzu held a big knife, sideways dodged the blade on the opposite side, and slashed down, cutting down one of the Qing soldiers, as for the remaining Qing army, he had already fallen under the hand of a Fu Han army next to him.

The form on the battlefield was overwhelming from the beginning, there were constantly Qing troops who laid down their arms and surrendered, and many Qing troops turned around and ran, and the soldiers of the Fu Han Army were originally new recruits, and they were still a little jealous in their hearts, but now they have left all their worries behind and only want to build greater credit.

In the afterglow of the sunset, Ning Yu looked at this cruel picture scroll in front of him, on which there were flintlock pipers and Qing army shotgunners constantly firing at each other, from time to time someone fell, and hundreds of people fought together, until they could no longer distinguish each other, the artillery fire in the rear continued to roar, in this scene, Ning Yu had taken the lead.

The fighting did not stop until the evening, and the remnants of hundreds of Qing troops, under the leadership of Zheng Rong, fled in a hurry towards the way home, and the soldiers of the Fu Han Army continued to attack, tearing at the remaining flesh and blood of the Qing army.

Ning Yu couldn't help but sigh, if the Fu Han army had a cavalry at this time, the Qing army present would not be able to escape, but it didn't matter, this remnant army was no longer a climate, and sooner or later it would fall into the hands of Deng Fang, who was guarding the rear.

Ning Yu looked at Daye City, which was besieged in the dark at this time, and secretly said in his heart, it was time to go to a showdown.
