The 400 fighters of the Jingyuan Brigade used only one salvo to defeat the menacing onslaught of 700 enemy cavalry.

Their thin red line, which seemed to be thin, was actually so strong that the Tartar cavalry lost 150 men in an instant, more than half of the total strength.

For a feudal army, this was a loss that was too much.

The rest of the Tartars were in confusion, their mounts more panicked than the panicked Tartar cavalry, their horses neighing and spinning in place, and some simply stood up and lifted some of the unprepared Tartars off their horses.

Although they were only less than ten paces away from the soldiers of the Jingyuan Brigade, both men and horses lost the confidence to continue the charge.

For an army, the loss of confidence is the deadliest.

What's more, faith is a thing that always comes and goes.

"All of them, bayonets!"

Li Xiushen's order was slightly vibrased—because he was so excited that he couldn't suppress his emotions.

"Follow me! Kill the Tartars! ”

After shouting a word, Li Xiushen took the lead in rushing towards the Tartar who was still spinning back and forth a few steps away.

"Kill the Tartar !!"

400 warriors shouted in unison, bayonets and stabs at the enemy, and in an instant they crossed a few paces and stabbed the Tartars on their horses.

Stopped in place, the cavalry that had lost its impact could not fight against the high-morale infantry at all, the cold light of bayonets flashed in mid-air, and the Tartars who fought separately tried their best to block with broadswords and heavy axes, but this was just a dying struggle, and they were quickly picked off the horse by the cavalry of the Jingyuan Brigade one by one.

Xu Shizhen followed behind Li Xiu, charging forward with a bayonet, and a Tartar cavalryman howled and waved his weapon indiscriminately, but his eyes were full of panic, feeling like a monkey on a horse.

Xu Shizhen took an arrow step, the rifle stabbed diagonally upward, and the sharp triangular bayonet pierced the scale armor of the tartar and pierced deeply into the lower abdomen from the edge of the heart guard.

The Tartar threw away his weapon like an electric shock, grabbed the barrel of Xu Shizhen's gun tightly with both hands, and stared at Xu Shizhen with desperate eyes, with a pleading look on his face.

Xu Shizhen pulled back his rifle vigorously, and a stream of bloody arrows erupted from the lower abdomen of the Tartar cavalry, and the Tartar slid silently off the horse.

"Wan Sheng!"

There were bursts of cheers from the front, and the shock formation of 700 Tartars was actually pierced by the recoil of 400 infantry!

The Tartar cavalry in the back was full of fear, turned the horse's head, and ran for his life to the north without looking back, and as he ran, these cavalrymen also threw away all their weapons, armor and other superfluous burdens, and the shining iron armor and blades fell to the ground, faintly pointing out the direction of the Tartars' escape.

……

By the time reinforcements from the Guards cavalry and the scout cavalry of three infantry brigades arrived on the battlefield, Li Xiushen had even mended all the enemy's wounded.

At the cost of one dead and five wounded, the Jingyuan Brigade killed 190 cavalry of the Jin Army, captured more than 20 people, captured 200 war horses, and fought countless armored battles.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many trophies, and the quality of his mount was too far from the enemy, Li Xiushen even wanted to ride on his horse and chase for a while.

Of course, the results are already quite impressive.

Xu Shiyang, who personally commanded the cavalry to rush to reinforcements, saw this messy battlefield, laughed and patted Li Xiushen on the shoulder:

"Well done Seven! But why didn't you set up a hollow phalanx at that time? It's also too dangerous. ”

When he was in Xu Shiyang's guards, Li Xiushen was called Xu Qi, and he did not revert to his original name until Xu Shiyang disbanded the earliest guards.

Li Xiu smiled triumphantly:

"I know my soldiers, and against hundreds of Tartar cavalry, there is no need to bother to set up any hollow phalanx."

"Hahaha, you kid, arrogant enough, but I like it!"

The situation just now does look quite critical on the surface: with 400 half-hung cavalry facing 700 famous Tartar iron cavalry, anyone will sweat.

If it was the 400 Great Zhou officers who were blocked, Xu Shiyang had no doubt that the Tartars would be able to break through the obstacle at an extremely small cost, and then directly attack the artillery position at the south gate.

But when it really started, the performance of Li Xiushen and the soldiers of the Jingyuan Brigade was really amazing.

Destroying more than 200 enemies at the cost of 6 casualties, Xu Shiyang even felt that if all the units of the New Army had this kind of combat effectiveness, he didn't have to think about anything at all, and he could go straight to Liaoyang now.

Of course, it's just a matter of thinking about it.

The Jurchen Tartars still have nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses, including 6 or 70,000 armor soldiers, which is still a formidable opponent that cannot be taken lightly.

However, at least for now, the outcome of the Battle of Golden State has been determined.

Just when the Tartar cavalry rushed towards Li Xiushen, the south gate of Jinzhou was opened, and Tartar Meng'an led more than 500 armor soldiers out of the city to attack the Qi artillery.

For this obvious target, the Qi artillery was naturally unceremonious, and the 36 cannons turned their muzzles and covered all the Tartars out of the city with two rounds of shotguns that split their heads and covered their faces.

Then the Dingyuan brigade seized the opportunity to charge, the Tartars were almost powerless, the city gate changed hands instantly, and the soldiers of the Qi army rushed into the city of Jinzhou in one fell swoop with the dead bodies of the Tartars all over the ground.

In the entire Jinzhou Campaign, only the remnants of the Tartars on the South Gate Tower resisted effectively, they entrenched on the city tower, using bows and arrows to block the narrow city ladder, and they actually held out until the entire Golden State changed hands, and they were not taken.

At night, Xu Shiyang's patience ran out, and the soldiers of the Qi army directly placed a large amount of gunpowder under the city gate, and then there was an earth-shattering loud noise, and the south gate tower of Jinzhou and the last dozens of Tartar defenders on the city were all blown into the sky.

……

In the entire Jinzhou Campaign, the total casualties of the Qi army were less than 100, but they achieved the major results of destroying more than 1,000 enemies and recovering the city of Jinzhou at the same time.

Although Jinzhou is a big city, because the Tartars have been stationed for a long time, there are only more than 5,000 women and children in the city, and most of them are local families and slaves stationed in Meng'an.

Xu Shiyang was naturally unceremonious to these people, all Tartar men over the age of 14 were selected to kill one of the five according to the old rules, and the rest were escorted back to Qi Province as slaves.

The vast majority of them would be consumed in the heavy, arduous, and dangerous mines for a short time, and only a few young women would be assigned to the meritorious soldiers to survive as concubines or slaves.

Of course, the Tartar women may not think there is anything wrong with this, after all, they are also Tartars, and the women of the Tartars are just a kind of property, and being oppressed by the Jurchen people is not much different from being oppressed by the Han people, and they are used to it.

What's more, the Han people attach far more importance to the family than the Tartars, and if they can give the new owner a son and a half daughter, their status will also rise.

And this kind of thinking is exactly what Xu Shiyang wants.

In the future, I will make a big deal about "Female Virtue" among the captured Tartar mothers-in-law! ’

Xu Shiyang thought proudly:

'Tartar women should work hard, desperately give birth to Han people, strictly abide by Confucian women's virtues, and always listen to their masters or husbands, this is the best Tartar woman, and other things have nothing to do with them! ’

Well, you have to be careful when educating these Tartar women, so that we Han women are also poisoned. ’
