Chapter 223: The Enemy Attacks

This scout was sent by Li Guoran to reconnoiter the movements of the Qing army. When this scout came back in a hurry, Li Guoran realized that it was estimated that the Qing army was coming.

Sure enough, the scout took a breath and said, "Return to the battalion commander, return to the battalion commander, the enemy army is coming." Liu Dazhuang frowned, and his heart was paid: Fortunately, I arrived one step earlier, otherwise this Qingmu River would have to suffer, even if the Qing army could not break through the Qingmu River City, but the cattle, sheep and horses that were captured outside were all destroyed.

"How many enemy troops are coming." Li Guoran asked nervously, pricking up his ears to sound.

When the scout came back just now, he found that the entire Aoki River was already full of people, so he naturally guessed that reinforcements had arrived, so he was not too nervous, and said, "There are not many people, but they are all cavalry, there are about 3,000 people." ”

"Three thousand cavalry?" Liu Dazhuang frowned when he heard this, after all, there were not many cavalry at this time, and now there are only a thousand people, although a thousand people are elite, but if they resist forcibly, the casualties will be very heavy. Although there are thousands of horses outside, they are not saddled and cannot be used immediately. If you don't come out of the city, it will naturally be resisted, but the cattle, sheep and horses outside will be taken away by the enemy.

Li Guoran was relieved when he heard about the 3,000 people, and was about to tell Liu Dazhuang happily, but found that Liu Dazhuang was frowning, and he knew that Liu Dazhuang was thinking about the war horse problem with a turn of his head. After all, the enemy army is cavalry.

"It would be good if Mingjun's Eagle Yangwei was here, and only 3,000 people would definitely not be valued by Ying Yangwei." Liu Dazhuang kept urging Ying Yangwei to come quickly, come quickly. Now the two most elite troops in all the armies, one is the Eagle Yang Guard, and the other is the Guards subordinate to the Guards Brigade, these two are definitely the elite of the elite, and the future of the Guards is greater, after all, they often follow Liu Xia's side, if there is any benefit, it is generally the first, and it is easy to transfer other troops to become middle-level officers.

"Report! The Qing army is still about fifteen miles away. ”

Another scout sped into the room and reported.

Liu Dazhuang immediately issued an order: "All the people of the Xiongshi Brigade obey the order, all gather outside the city, and we must ensure that the cattle, sheep and war horses outside the city cannot be lost!" Then he turned to Li Guoran and said, "You are guarding these seven thousand women in the city. ”

Li Guoran wanted to say something, but looking at Liu Dazhuang's eyes that could not be refused, he didn't say a word in the end, just nodded, and before he could react, Liu Dazhuang gathered outside the city under the leadership of his personal guards.

When the soldiers and horses of the two regiments of the Xiongshi Brigade all left the city of the Qingmu River, the gate of the city of the Qingmu River was closed tightly, and Li Guoran personally boarded the city to watch the Xiongshi Brigade fight against the Qing army. Now that he couldn't help them, Li Guoran let all the captured Tatar war drums be taken out, and then asked the soldiers to beat the drums for the soldiers of the Xiongshi Brigade.

Boom! Boom! Boom! A low sound of war drums suddenly sounded from the top of the city tower, and then the soldiers of the Xiongshi Brigade all lined up neatly, blocking the periphery of cattle, sheep and war horses outside the city.

Liu Dazhuang held a telescope and looked into the distance, only to see that the Qing army was coming towards this side quickly, and now he was looking at it without a telescope, like a thick black line in the sky.

"These are not the Eight Banners, it is estimated that they are the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and their combat effectiveness is much worse than that of the Eight Banners." Liu Dazhuang put down the telescope and said. Then Li Ke also picked up the binoculars and looked at it, and said, "The commander is this the Xianglan Flag or the Zhenglan Flag?" Liu Dazhuang observed again, and finally glanced at Li Ke helplessly, and said, "The general really doesn't know." ”

"Whether it is the Manchurian Eight Banners or the Han Eight Banners, or the Xianglan Banner or the Zhenglan Banner, they have no return, the purpose of our coming to the Qingmu River this time is not just to defend the Qingmu River, but to try to break through the various guards in Datong Town and approach the city of Beijing."

"My subordinates understand, but we have 5,000 men ......"

Liu Dazhuang frowned when he heard this: "You don't need to think about this, the general will equip us with a large number of men as soon as possible." ”

"Subordinates understand ......"

Dada-da

"Commander, the enemy is coming." At this time, the enemy army in the distance could already see the general outline, Liu Dazhuang stared at those Qing troops deadly, and he was going to destroy them all.

At this time, at the forefront of the Xiongshi Brigade were the musketeers of the 2nd Regiment of the Xiongshi Brigade, all of them were waiting for the enemy to approach, and then round after round of muskets were fired at them, although the effect was not estimated to be too great, but it had a deterrent effect on both the war horse and the enemy. Then the cavalry charged.

Seeing the men and horses of the Xiongshi Brigade, the Qing army on the opposite side was also full of speed, they didn't expect that there were so many soldiers and horses in the Aoki River.

One of the generals in the cavalry yelled at one of the men beside him, "Didn't you say that the enemy has less than a thousand? How did it become so many people, it seems that the number of people should be no less than five thousand. ”

The person who was scolded next to him hurriedly nodded and smiled: "The general is angry, the general is angry." The enemy may have been newly reinforced by the enemy. However, general, you see that they do not have many cavalry, only 1,000 people, and our cavalry has 3,000 men and horses, as for those musketeers, they are not of much use at all, and everyone knows that muskets not only can't kill the enemy, but also always injure themselves, I really don't know why the enemy is so stupid and still uses muskets. ”

The general listened to this, nodded and said, "It makes sense, we must charge quickly and not give the enemy musketeers too much time to shoot at us." If their cavalry is eliminated, it will naturally be defeated. ”

"Rush!" With an order, the three thousand Qing troops rushed forward with a scream.

At the same time, in the brigade of the Heroic Division, the commander of the musket regiment held a command flag and shouted: "First row|Shoot!" ”

Bang bang......

I didn't kill a single enemy in one round, because it was too far away to shoot.

"Second row ready! Shoot! ”

Bang bang...... At this time, the bullets began to hit some Qing troops, but the strength was too small, and it did not cause too many casualties, but the gunfire was too loud to cause the enemy's war horses to be a little timid, and some even wanted to retreat, but under the whip of the soldiers, those war horses still ran forward obediently.

"Third row|Shoot! First row ready! ”

Bang bang...... Before they could get up, the cavalry behind them stepped too on, and trampled the wounded Qing soldiers into minced flesh, and the flesh and blood were blurred, even if they were unrecognizable.

"First row|Shoot! Second row ready! ”

In one round, dozens more Qing troops fell under the horse. Then, after the second row of shooting, the Qing army lost more than 200 people, most of whom were not shot by muskets, but trampled to death by their own people. Now that the cavalry of the Qing army was very close, the musketeers took out their bayonets from their bodies and loaded them on top of their guns, ready to charge up for a while.

Then the cavalry behind them began to move, and the musketeers gathered together to make way for the cavalry behind them.

Driving

Rush!!

Woo woo woo ~ ~~ The low horn sound resounded through the heavens and the earth, like the roar of the tiger and wolf, leading thousands of warriors to rush forward.

"Kill! Kill these dog traitors! Liu Dazhuang took the lead, and the war horse under him was like lightning, and soon galloped into the enemy's army. He was surrounded by several enemies, but soon the Qing troops who surrounded him were slaughtered under his horse. When the two sides fought, they both suffered heavy casualties.

"Die!"

"Bang!" Liu Dazhuang blocked the big knife that came from behind, and then his body twisted, and the blade of the big knife in his hand rotated to the back, and the enemy who attacked him from behind suddenly fell to the ground.

The cavalry of the two sides soon got mixed up, and it was impossible to distinguish each other. There were more and more corpses on the ground, horses neighed, soldiers screamed, and war drums beat incessantly.

After all, the soldiers of the Lion Regiment are still a little less, and they are obviously not superior to the enemy's 3,000 people, the enemy has now killed more than 500 people, and the Lion Regiment has almost 300 dead, and it is about to be wiped out. However, the more than 2,000 musketeers behind him did not participate in the battle, because they did not get Liu Dazhuang's military orders.

"Commander, the brothers can't hold it anymore, even if we desperately defeat all these enemy troops, we will suffer heavy losses!" Li Ke shouted at Liu Dazhuang.

Liu Dazhuang said: "I know, brothers hold on a little longer!" ”

"It only takes a while, and maybe there will be a turnaround!"

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly appeared from the sky, galloping towards the battlefield......
