Chapter 20: Two Deadly Guns

The cavalry of the Taiping army rushed into the front camp of the new army with swords, slashing and slashing indiscriminately.

The soldiers of the New Army, who had not been trained for a long time, were in a hurry at first, and their formation was twisted and twisted. But when he saw the brothers who were still laughing and chatting together yesterday fell in a pool of blood forever, the eyes of the people behind were red, and their minds also recalled the moves they practiced on weekdays, shouting and hugging forward to face death. Most of the spear-wielding soldiers in the first phalanx were killed and wounded, but they also effectively stopped the attack momentum of the Taiping cavalry.

General Yan sat quietly on his horse, holding a gun in one hand and his heavy silver-white beard in the other, observing the changes in the battle situation at all times. Seeing that the momentum of the thief army had decreased slightly, he raised the golden gun in his hand, and the herald immediately waved the small flag, and the left and right cavalry phalanxes of the new army roared, and the split formation was killed from the left and right flanks.

Lang Zhendong rushed to the front first, shouting while shaking the silver spear in his hand, and successively picked up several enemy cavalry in the air.

In the midst of the chaotic army, Shi Daliang, who was wielding a long knife to kill left and right, caught a glimpse of his own cavalry formation in chaos, turned his face, and saw the yellow-faced man who was rushing over with a spear, shouted, and slapped his horse to meet him.

Thunder God Gao Jinbao looked at his cavalry from a distance as if they were surrounded on three sides, and the speed of the forward rush slowed down significantly, he couldn't help frowning, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered his follow-up infantry to all press up.

Old General Yan once again raised his big gun and shouted: "Sons, we are the last line of defense to protect the capital of the capital, and we must not let the bandits take a step forward!" Rush with me and kill them all! Kill! ”。

Accompanied by the earth-shattering sound of war drums, a large number of foot soldiers of the New Army for the Protector also attacked on all fronts and quickly joined the battle group, and the two sides started a real melee.

Lang Zhendong had just picked off an enemy general and dismounted, when he suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from the back of his head, and hurriedly lowered his head and shrank his neck, dodging the blade that Shi Daliang slashed by. The horse turned around and stabbed straight out. Shi Daliang didn't dare to be careless, and with a horizontal blade, he knocked out the tip of the stabbed gun, and the knife and gun collided, and the two were entangled in one place.

General Yan's majesty remained undiminished, and he rushed into the enemy line in high spirits. A big gun in his hand sometimes descended like a tiger, sweeping across the mountain; Sometimes like a strange python turning over, invincible. The left and right lieutenants and guards followed, each waving their weapons and clearing the enemy forces on the periphery. Seeing the old general's domineering, the strong man Song Tieniu screamed and shook the hammer in his hand and rushed head-on.

The weapons intersected, and General Yan immediately felt the power of the opponent's sledgehammer, and no longer hit it hard, and used a trick of four or two thousand catties. Ren Song Tieniu danced with a sledgehammer in his hand, and the golden gun only looked for a gap to enter and exit quickly, but did not collide with its weapon.

Song Tieniu was so annoyed by the white-bearded old man in front of him, and every move of the sledgehammer in his hand was powerful, and he wanted to take his life. And General Yan only wandered around the outer circle, giving full play to the advantage of being one inch long and one inch strong, and Song Tieniu had to be busy for a long time with a sneak attack. After a while, Song Tieniu was tired and panting, sweating profusely.

Shi Daliang, who was fighting desperately over there, was also showing fatigue and gradually losing the wind. Every time he made a move, the opponent's spear blocked the way of the long knife in his hand in advance as if it had a spirit, and he counterattacked first, which made him very depressed.

Lang Zhendong burst out suddenly, and the spear stabbed at his door like lightning, and the helpless Shi Daliang had no choice but to collect his knife and push it sideways. Unexpectedly, the spear suddenly retreated, changed direction and rushed out. Shi Daliang only felt a sharp hard object coming out of his body, and his body flew up from his horse and was thrown into the air.

Almost at the same time, Song Tieniu let out a miserable scream, threw the sledgehammer in his hand and planted his horse with his right eye.

Seeing the deadly two guns of their own commander and vanguard officer challenging the two generals of the opposing side in a row, the morale of the brothers of the new army was immediately high, and they rushed towards each other one after another with a shout in unison.

Gao Jinbao, who was watching the battle from afar, became more and more pale, and he saw a white-bearded old man and a yellow-faced man in the chaotic army knocking off his two generals respectively, and the possibility of the two of them surviving was very small, and he couldn't help but tremble. Seeing that a large number of people and horses of the Taiping Army were like a huge mulberry leaf spread out, being eaten away by the opponent little by little, I was even more anxious.

He couldn't figure it out, how could the Great Qi army, which was obviously weak and about to collapse at the slightest touch, suddenly become so good at fighting? I can already see the blue-gray city wall of the capital from a distance, but this has become the end? He was not reconciled!

Yang Mingyi's eyes squeezed out sincere tears, and he bent down to open the wooden box, revealing Liu Ganting's bloody head. Then he gave a deep salute and cried to Nie Yunniang, who was sitting still: "Yun Niang, my father was confused for a while, I listened to the villain's slander, and almost hurt you, my father is guilty!" Now that my father has repented, he has beheaded this traitorous villain, and I have come to make amends to you personally! I hope that the deputy leader will not care about the past suspicions, you and I must work together to eliminate the red turban bandits and avenge the hatred of Brother Shilong! ”。

Nie Yunniang sneered twice motionlessly, and didn't look at the wooden box on the ground. asked: "Jiang Shoufu said that the murderer of Shilong has been besieged by the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Battalion, but is it true?" ”。

Yang Mingyi said with a smile: "It's true, General Feng Yong recognized at a glance that the thief leader was the general who killed Shilong's brother, just wait for the deputy leader to personally come out and take him down and behead him!" In any case, it is necessary to pay for the blood debt of the bandits for Shilong. ”

Nie Yunniang stood up and said, "I must avenge Shilong's revenge!" It's just that Ming people don't do dark things, and after this battle, I will still lead my troops to leave, and you and I will go our separate ways. If it's too late for you to regret it right away, you can send someone to kill me right now. ”

Hearing this, Yang Mingyi clenched his teeth, and almost couldn't control his face immediately. But when he thought of Jiang Shoufu's thousands of instructions, he reluctantly put on a smiling face and said, "Is the deputy leader still angry with his father?" And it's no wonder. My father's only thought at the moment is to fulfill Yun Niang's wish to take revenge, and also talk about the sincerity of my father's sincere repentance! The future is negotiable."

At this time, a personal soldier hurriedly entered, and after giving the salute, he nervously lay on Yang Mingyi's ear and muttered a few words, Yang Mingyi's face changed, and he was about to turn around and leave, when he heard Nie Yunniang say: "Hey, take out that broken wooden box, it's really fishy and pungent." ”

Yang Mingyi made a look, and the soldiers lifted the wooden box, and hurriedly walked out of the military tent with the grandfather of the country.

Poor Liu Ganting would definitely feel quite aggrieved if his soul was knowledgeable, Nie Yunniang didn't look at him much before his death, and he was not welcomed after his death, so he didn't have the effect he should have. It truly achieves the insignificance of life and the grievance of death.

General Guan Yu's style has always been to focus on me and not leave enough time for the opponent to react.

When he saw the enemy's company camp, he reined in his horse and shouted, "Brothers, I know that everyone is a little tired from the long journey!" Drum up a little more energy, General Zhang has prepared good wine and meat waiting for us! After killing and retreating the enemy army, after the division, we ate and drank enough and slept beautifully, who dared to disturb our Lao Tzu and cut off his head! Rush with me! ”。

The soldiers laughed and drew their swords one after another, shaking their spirits and screaming to urge their horses to kill the enemy.

The soldiers of the Tiger Battalion, who were caught off guard, did not expect to meet ghosts in broad daylight, and these fierce executioners on horses met and said, "Hello, have you eaten?" I didn't say hello like that, I just came up and harvested my head, and I didn't even bother to hit the white stripes. What's worse is the large number of people!

The soldiers of the Tiger Camp ran away crying and shouting, but the mathematical foundation was really poor, and they didn't count that they couldn't run on four legs on two legs, and countless people were caught up and killed and fell to the ground. General Guan's desire for destruction was super strong, and he ordered his subordinates to set fire to all the tents that had been trampled on, and for a time thick smoke billowed and flames soared into the sky.

Zhang Baiqian saw from a distance that one side of the encirclement was in a mess, and he was overjoyed, and immediately led his troops to kill him. The two armies met, and before they had time to say hello, they threw themselves into the battle to drive and kill the enemy. The encirclement that Yang Mingyi had painstakingly managed was knocked to the ground in less than an hour, and the door was wide open.

Seeing that the other groups of men and horses in the Tiger Camp were fully prepared and lined up to meet each other, it was estimated that there was nothing to take advantage of. General Guan issued an order, and when he saw it, he would accept it, and Mingjin would withdraw his troops.

Zhang Baiqian rode his horse and rushed over, smiled and hugged his fists and said, "General Guan is coming so fast!" ”。

Guan Yu took a serious look at the people in his headquarters, fortunately, he was in good spirits after being surrounded for a few days, and he didn't lose too many people. Only then did he nod his head and hugged his fists with satisfaction and said, "Brother Bai Qian has worked hard!" Find a place to camp quickly, these brothers I have brought with me are probably as hungry as I am, and we will sleep well when we are full! Brother Zhongnian will lead the follow-up people to arrive later, and you can arrange to pick them up."

Zhang Baiqian couldn't help laughing, bowed down and saluted: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Gao Jinbao, who was thousands of miles away, also gave the order for Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and he was worried that his old capital would be lost.

General Yan drank in time to stop Lang Zhendong, who rushed up and was ready to continue the pursuit. led the scarred soldiers of the New Army to slowly retreat. Both sides suffered heavy losses, but he knew that this was the price that the new army would have to pay for its maturity.

Among the piles of dead bodies all over the ground, the uncle with a broken leg and a bloody face crawled a few steps with difficulty, and the childish-looking little soldier had his eyes wide open, and half of a broken gun was stuck between his chest and abdomen. His face was still pale, and the corners of his mouth were covered with sticky black blood, but he was no longer breathing.

With tears in his eyes, the uncle stretched out a big trembling hand and helped him close his eyes. As far as the eye could see, the ground was covered with blood and the corpses of the enemy could not be distinguished. The uncle suddenly sat up with his palms propped up, and shouted to the sky with tears: "Heavenly soldiers and generals, invulnerable!" ”。

His shout caused a cavalryman of the New Army to gallop towards him, and without hesitation, he raised his sword and fell, and the uncle's head flew up and fell into the pile of corpses, and there was no more sound.
