"Descending the dragon and subduing the tiger and swallowing the mountains and rivers and swallowing the mountains and rivers in a hundred battles and winning the general" Lai Qingsheng was really a little puzzled, obviously the banner in his own camp was not reduced, and the Heavenly Father Holy Venerable led the main force to withdraw quietly, how did the Great Qi thief army on the other side get the news and launched a fierce attack on his own side in the early morning two days later.

At first, it was just hundreds of thieves who took advantage of the darkness before dawn to smuggle to the shore on a small raft and launched a surprise attack on the Taiping army. Lai Qingsheng was not flustered, and organized forces to fight back in time. Although these outlaw thieves are extremely brave, after all, their number is limited, so they do not pose too much of a threat to their own side.

As the sky grew brighter, General Lai realized that behind these outlaws, the people were desperately going back and forth to lay pontoon bridges on the river.

General Lai immediately ordered to surround and kill the thieves who rushed ashore, and on the other hand, mobilize a large number of crossbowmen to line up on the shore, wrap the arrows in linen, wrap them in tung oil and set them on fire, and shoot them at the pontoon bridge. From time to time, some people screamed and fell into the water, but strangely, the rockets fired at the pontoon logs went out one after another, failing to ignite the pontoon. Lai Qingsheng's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't believe his eyes. How did he know that the log that laid the pontoon bridge had already ordered people to soak in water for many days, and if he wanted to ignite it, he had to bake it for three or five days to evaporate the water.

On the opposite bank, a team of soldiers holding large shields and wearing dazzling black iron armor quickly rushed onto the pontoon bridge, and walked to the end of the pontoon bridge near this side, and raised the big shield in formation. The crossbowmen hiding behind the shield unleashed a burst of hard crossbows at the Taiping army on the opposite bank. "Whoosh", with the rapid firing of the continuous hard crossbow, the soldiers of the Taiping Army's bow and crossbow battalion on the bank of the river fell in response. Almost at the same time, smoke rose from the muzzles of a row of artillery guns placed by the Forces nouvelles on the other side of the river, and a deafening roar erupted. All of a sudden, the waves splashed, the cannons rumbled, and the arrows roared back and forth, mixed with the loud "plopping" and miserable howls of the men and horses on both sides falling into the water.

"Descending the dragon and subduing the tiger and swallowing the mountains and rivers in a hundred battles and a hundred victorious generals" Lai Qingsheng gradually became annoyed, the hundreds of dead soldiers who took the lead in killing the river bank were like a piece of dog skin plaster, no matter how they were shaken off, it was difficult to wipe them all out for a while. Even though they were missing arms and legs, and were covered in blood, they refused to lay down their weapons, and they all screamed and threw themselves at the enemy to fight for their lives, so that the Taiping defenders could not focus all their energy on destroying the soldiers and people on the pontoon bridge.

The blood-soaked pontoon bridge was still stubbornly stretching inch by inch towards the opposite bank, and as the distance between the two sides closed, the number of people on the pontoon bridge wailing and falling into the water to their deaths grew. Under the banner of the Chinese army on the other side of the river, the old general Yan, who was riding on a horse with a fluttering silver beard, had a solemn face and was unmoved, staring at every move of the Taiping army, and ordering the gunners on the bank to turn the direction of the muzzle from time to time.

The last section of the pontoon bridge leading to the other side was paved with the corpses of the soldiers and men of the new army to protect the country.

Seeing that the cavalry of the new army on the opposite bank had jumped onto the pontoon bridge, and the hundreds of dead soldiers on this side had also been killed, Lai Qingsheng, the general of "subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger and swallowing the mountains and rivers in a hundred battles and a hundred victories", gave an order decisively, and the bow and crossbow battalions of the Taiping army retreated, and the spearmen rushed forward to the river to block the enemy cavalry.

When the first knight of the New Army of the Protector jumped over the head of his shield soldier and rushed to the opposite bank, dozens of spears were inserted into the body of the centaur almost at the same time, and the knight of the New Army of the Protector on the horse danced twice in the air, screaming and spurting blood, and fell down with the mount under his crotch.

The second knight who rushed ashore slashed several enemy soldiers with his sword, and then fell from his horse covered in blood.

The third cavalryman who came ashore was much luckier, rushed out more than ten meters, and the long knife passed everywhere, and the heads of four or five enemy soldiers flew into the air, and he fell into the dust with his war horse with hatred. This was followed by the fourth, fifth...... Every soldier of the New Army who rushed ashore was like a stone thrown into the lake, causing ripples on the originally calm lake, and the area of this ripple was gradually expanding.

The shield-wielding infantry of the New Army also rushed to the opposite bank with red eyes, and the cannons of the New Army Protector lined up on the shore were no longer silent at this time, replaced by a shout from General Yan and a surging flow of people rushing onto the pontoon bridge. Behind them, rumbling war drums and loud horns.

Lai Qingsheng gritted his teeth and raised the long knife in his hand high, the enemy army was too crazy, and it was completely in a state of rushing to die one after another! His subordinates were obviously also shocked by the momentum of their opponents, and involuntarily retreated, and the originally tight defense line was gradually torn apart. As more and more new soldiers rushed ashore, these samurai, dressed in dazzling black iron armor, gradually showed a numerical advantage from the initial complete passivity.

"Brothers, the Holy Father is as gracious to us as a mountain, and has the virtue of regeneration! As men who stand up to the sky, we must not take half a step back! Kill with Ben Shuai, and drive all the great Qi thieves who invaded my Taiping Heavenly Kingdom into the river to feed Wang Ba! Defend your home and country, and swear to repay the Father's grace! Rush with me! ”。 Lai Qingsheng shouted hoarsely, and took the lead in wielding his long knife to kill the surging new army to protect the country.

Encouraged and inspired by him, those subordinates who had already retreated burst into amazing courage again, shouting and turning around and killing one after another.

From time to time, the turbulent river slapped violently on the riverbank, unceremoniously rolling the corpses on the bank into his arms, and at the same time smeared his cheeks with bright red, and he was happy.

Lai Qingsheng, who was covered in blood, gritted his teeth and killed left and right, but he never failed to drive the surging new army thieves into the river, but he and those loyal subordinates were like a small boat facing the stormy waves and going upstream. They were scattered and gathered again, gathered together and scattered. In the process of going back and forth, there were fewer and fewer people alive behind General Lai.

With a loud shout, Lai Qingsheng swung his knife and cut an enemy general off his horse. Unfortunately, before he died, the enemy general also pierced the spear in his hand into General Lai's lower abdomen, and the heavy armor on his body was penetrated, and a slimy intestine also slipped out of the hole with gushing blood. Lai Qingsheng paused on his horse, and the new soldiers of the Protector Army who were eyeing him immediately rushed up with a shout.

The two riders behind him stepped forward without hesitation, blocking the stabs and spears that stabbed him around him. One of the lieutenants galloped to his side, and reached out to hand him a long strip of cloth that had not been ripped from somewhere. Lai Qingsheng took it without saying a word, lowered his head and reached out to stuff the intestine that fell out of the body back into the wound, gritted his teeth and tied the wound tightly from his waist with a strip of cloth.

When he looked up again, he suddenly found that his surroundings had become very quiet, and there was no shouting of horses and horses, and there was no crisp sound of weapons clashing.

Looking around, his eyes were full of thieves who invaded the Great Qi in dazzling black iron armor. They all stared at him silently, like a beast that had fallen into a trap and was still struggling desperately.

The enemy troops directly opposite each other suddenly parted from the middle, making way for a passage, and an old general with a fluttering silver beard and a resolute gaze appeared in front of him.

The old general said slowly: "The old man saw that you were a rare loyal and brave general among the Taiping bandits, and he had a heart of love for talent, so he ordered our army to stop attacking. As long as you can get lost, be willing to get off the horse and surrender, and no longer do the stupid thing of using your mantis arm as a car, the old man will not only let you live, but also reuse you! I advise Your Excellency not to resist in vain anymore, and you might as well look back and see how many men and horses are left of your men? ”。

"Descending the dragon and subduing the tiger, swallowing mountains and rivers, a hundred battles and a hundred victorious generals" Lai Qingsheng couldn't help but glance back, there were less than a thousand of his subordinate knights covered in blood behind him, and they were surrounded by layers of dazzling black ironclad thieves. He couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness in his heart, but he turned his face and laughed, as if he had heard an unbearable joke, and even laughed out of tears.

After a while, he restrained his smile and said, "Old horseman, you don't have to be delusional!" Your Daqi court is in turmoil, and the emperor only knows how to search for people's fat and ointment everywhere every day, causing the people of the world to be in dire straits. And I, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, walk the road of the world, the Holy Father loves the people like a son, and cares about the people of the world! The people of Li under the rule live and work in peace and contentment, singing and dancing. It's only a matter of time before my Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rules the world! General Ben wants to advise you to get lost as soon as possible, and don't throw your old bones to Daqi as a funeral offering! ”。

The silver-bearded old general on the opposite horse was stunned when he heard this, shook his head slightly, closed his eyes slightly, bowed his head and was silent.

Lai Qingsheng's face suddenly turned red, and he shouted excitedly: "Old horseman, since you refuse to dismount and kneel to surrender, then don't blame this for being ruthless under the saber!" ”。 As he spoke, he suddenly crossed the long knife in his hand, urged his mount under his crotch, gritted his teeth and ran towards the silver-bearded old general.

Before he could rush closer, two horses crossed out from behind the old general, one left and one right. One was carrying a sledgehammer, the other was holding a double knife, and unceremoniously blocked his way.

Lai Qingsheng didn't stop, shouting in his mouth and rushing to chop with a knife, and in the shadow of the knife and hammer, the three of them fought quickly.

After walking for dozens of rounds, Lai Qingsheng gradually felt that his abdominal pain was getting worse, and he couldn't handle it, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it with sweat. He slashed at the double sword general, but was crossed in the air by the opponent with two swords, and the general who made the hammer took the opportunity to smash it down. Lai Qingsheng suddenly lowered his head and flashed, then burst into a shout, withdrew his long knife, and swung his knife horizontally to cut at the general who made the hammer.

The other party screamed, threw a sledgehammer with both hands, and was instantly split in half by the waist and fell off the horse. When Lai Qingsheng turned around, he saw a flash of silver light in front of him, the armor on his chest was cut open, and the deadly short knife opened his chest with a big gap. Lai Qingsheng could clearly hear the sound of flesh and bone tearing in his own ears, and he let out a desperate howl and fell down on his back.

Lai Qingsheng, who fell off the horse, soon lost his breath, and from his split chest placket, two dice rolled out, and these two gadgets rolled on the spot, one quickly stopped, and the other rolled out far away, and finally stopped rolling in a very messy grass that was trampled.

From a distance, the two dice facing the sky are the same color, both are two eye-catching small red dots, and they are: two big ones.
