Chapter 343: The Big Knife Show Girl
"Follow me!"
"Cavalry regiment, charge!"
The first to respond to Zhou Xiuying's call were several cavalrymen from the cavalry regiment, who waved their sabers and rushed towards the Qing army in front of them with a shout, and then some officers and soldiers of the county independent battalion also rushed up: "Rush! Rush!"
With their exemplary role, many township soldiers and key militia members in Lanxi County also rushed up, but the total number was only two or three hundred, and most of them were still stunned by the sudden appearance of the Qing army in front of them.
You can't blame their reactions, they are just ordinary militia and militiamen who put down farm tools, and it is already a very remarkable thing to be able to follow Zhou Xiuying out of the county border, and most of them have never even touched the real battlefield.
Although many peasants did not dare to rush forward, they did not retreat, but just stood in place and hesitated -- after all, the entire infantry platoon and the entire infantry company were all villagers who knew their roots.
And Zhou Xiuying's impact, although not many people participated, but after all, they launched an attack before the Qing army, and when Zhou Xiuying's saber crossed the sky, the Qing army had a preliminary reaction: "It's a girl!" Destroy him!"
"There's nothing wrong with this!"
"Brothers, it's a bunch of mud legs!"
Zhou Xiuying's forward of two or three hundred people also achieved a small result at first, taking advantage of the Qing army's lack of reaction, he captured more than a dozen prisoners and seized a few foreign guns, but soon the Qing army organized a counterattack.
One green flag after another was waved again, and then Zhou Xiuying's front was almost all Qing troops wearing uniforms, and they tried to besiege Zhou Xiuying with short and rattan cards. Zhou Xiuying already had a feeling that she couldn't move an inch on the horse, and the soldiers of the independent battalion hurriedly protected Zhou Xiuying.
"Damn it!" Zhou Xiuying saw that she couldn't bargain immediately. Immediately jumped off the horse. Lifting the horse chopping knife, he rushed forward: "Kill!"
I saw that the knife in his hand fell, and after the silver light flashed, a Qing soldier had his head cut off, and blood stained the silver knife. But Zhou Xiuying has already led the crowd into the enemy formation, and she is really good at martial arts. With the swing of the sword, the Qing army was immediately defeated.
It's just that these Qing soldiers are also the team that survived a hundred battles, and when they saw Zhou Xiuying's martial arts, they immediately shouted: "I killed the head of the female thief with a bird gun and a gun." Use a shotgun!"
The battle lines are already in disarray. Both sides were huddled together in a scuffle, blood stained the land, all weapons were pulled out, hand-to-hand combat, chaos was extreme, and under the leadership of the vanguard. More than 100 soldiers of the independent battalion, key militia, and township soldiers rushed up to support Zhou Xiuying, but the brigade still stayed behind. Someone shouted: "Head Zhou, what should we do!"
As he was talking, rows and rows of gunfire came from the west side, and Zhou Xiuying shouted: "The main force is in the west, the brothers follow me and join the main force!"
"Forward to the gunfire!"
The entire large team of Lanxi people finally moved down, and three or five hundred people poured down at once, although more than half of them were still staying behind, but Zhou Xiuying only felt that his pressure was greatly reduced, and the gunfire on the west side became more and more urgent.
It's just that Zhou Xiuying was anxious in her heart, and she shouted loudly: "Go to the gunshot, go to the gun!" Where is the main force!"
She didn't dare to tell the truth, it was not the main force, but Liu Chang's headquarters, because she heard it very clearly, the more and more dense gunfire in this row and row was the gunfire of revolvers, and only Liu Chang's headquarters had so many revolvers.
Liu Chang can't have any accidents!
She guessed not right at all, it was indeed Liu Chang's headquarters personnel, these more than 30 horsemen only rested for one or two hours at night, during which the infantry team that set off afterwards relied on two legs to catch up with the speed of the horse team, and the horse team got on the horse again and rushed towards Yanzhou Mansion, but soon they heard the sound of fighting in front of them, and they were nervous loudly. ..., here there are only Deng Shaoliang's remnants defeated, but this is not an ordinary remnant defeat, but Deng Shaoliang's two or three thousand elite divisions, the Rainbow Army has fought with them many times, and knows that these teams are quite combative.
Shi Tinglan had already hesitated to stop the horse, but Liu Chang said without hesitation: "Sabre, bayonet, revolver!" Follow me!"
Liu Chang's equestrian skills were terrible, but he had already jumped off the horse, holding the saber in one hand and the revolver in the other, and rushed forward, some of the cavalry still stayed on the horse, just patted the horse's neck, and then pulled out the saber, and some cavalry simply dismounted to protect Liu Chang.
The entire horse team transformed into a coordinated formation of the horse team in an instant, and Liu Chang did not hesitate, and directly ordered: "Kill the past, and never let the Nanxi Brigade make any mistakes!"
Shi Tinglan was a little distracted at this moment, or she usually thought too much, but at this time, she realized what a heroic man her husband was, she also tied up her military horse, and said loudly: "Kill it!"
There were only more than thirty people in this small force of horse team, but when they came out from the flank, Deng Shaoliang's team was suddenly confused, and the rain of bullets bombarded them.
The revolver is considered the fastest weapon in this era, and the Qing army was knocked down by five or six people at once, and then Liu Chang finished the bullet of one revolver, and then pulled out another one, and the revolver in his hand has been picked up by Shi Tinglan: "Ah Chang, I'll load the bullet for you!"
Shi Tinglan even handed over a revolver in his hand to Liu Chang, Liu Chang was really high-spirited, and his inferior marksmanship suddenly became accurate, and he actually injured another Qing soldier, and the horse team took advantage of the moment when the pistol team assaulted, and at the same time used the saber and pistol to drive Deng Shaoliang's team out.
But Deng Shaoliang's team was really the team that survived a hundred battles, they reacted quickly, and immediately divided two or three hundred infantry to counterattack this side, Liu Chang guarded a breastwork, personally picked up the revolver and shot, and the pistol team and the cavalry team also protected Liu Chang, Liu Chang shouted loudly: "Don't worry, the troops of the dragon spear brigade are fighting Deng Shaoliang over there, and the victory belongs to us!"
He didn't know that it was not the pursuit detachment of the Dragon Lance Brigade that was fighting with this Qing army, but only the Lanxi reinforcements in Zhou Xiuying's hands that had not been in a big battle, and now both directions were very chaotic.
The whole battle was still going on, Zhou Xiuying felt a lot of pressure, if it wasn't for Liu Chang's headquarters to enter the battle just right, maybe the Lanxi recruits she led would have stepped on, but even so, the entire front still made no progress.
She saw that there were at least a thousand militia and enlisted recruits in Lanxi County who had not moved, and she hurriedly took two or three steps back, but she had an idea: "Lanxi people, do you still have blood, you said that you are looking for Zhang Yuliang to take revenge, how did you see the Qing demon, and you are afraid again!" Do you have a little blood! Still not a man!"
"What?" Lanxi people and Zhang Yuliang definitely have a deep blood feud, as soon as they heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then dozens of people walked up, and the entire newly recruited team was also talking to each other, Zhou Xiuying said to the battle flag of the Qing army: "See it, see it!"
The bean-sized word "good" is the symbol of Deng Shaoliang, but the bloody nature of the Lanxi people exploded at this moment, and a man in his thirties shouted loudly: "Child, mother, I'm here!"
As soon as the three words Zhang Yuliang were spoken, and then the battle flag of the word "Liangliang" was seen, these newly recruited officers and soldiers suddenly had red eyes, and they rushed forward one after another, although the situation was extremely chaotic, but the Qing army in front of them suddenly felt that the pressure was doubled..., "Kill Zhang Yuliang!"
"Zhang Yuliang, you are a dog's day, Lao Tzu and you don't share the sky!"
"I'll fuck Zhang Yuliang's ancestors for eighteen generations!"
The Qing army just wanted to explain that their team was under the command of Deng Shaoliang and did not belong to Zhang Yuliang's department, but the frontal offensive was already like a tide, and all these Lanxi officers and soldiers were red-eyed and rushed up desperately.
This is a team of 3,000 people, some of them hit with bird guns, some with spears, some with long spears and short swords, and some without weapons, so they simply hugged the Qing army and bit it, allowing these Qing soldiers to be well-informed, but in front of this group of crazy Lanxi people, they can't show any ability.
Zhou Xiuying breathed a sigh of relief at first, this Zhang Yuliang's name was really useful, but she also knew that she had to be angry and must not let the team relax, so she personally carried a horse chopping knife and entered the Qing army.
At this moment, there was really no one under the knife, the Qing army was killed by her, and the Lanxi recruits took advantage of this momentum to rush and rush hard, and they broke through the Qing army's defense line in front of them.
After all, this Qing army escaped from Quzhou City, and it was okay to fight a good battle, as soon as it encountered this kind of dangerous scene, it immediately retreated like an avalanche, and now some Lanxi people also found that although this team is playing the banner of "Liang", it is not Zhang Yuliang's team, but a team led by Deng Shaoliang, the governor of Zhejiang, but it is already on the back of a tiger and can not retreat, so he can only shout loudly: "Whether Zhang Yuliang or Deng Shaoliang are killed!"
There is no way, they have killed so many people under Deng Shaoliang, can it be said that they are wrong, since the two sides have formed a deep feud in the sea of blood, they can only repay it with blood, not to mention that Deng Shaoliang may not be a good person!
Zhou Xiuying led the team to kill in the direction of the dense revolver gunfire, and soon she found the target, Liu Chang was holding two revolvers on the chest wall to shoot at the Qing army, and Shi Niangniang and Yang Niangniang were at his side to load Liu Chang with pistol bullets.
Seeing that Liu Chang was still safe, Zhou Xiuying breathed a big sigh of relief, and the two mothers had never been so pleasing to the eye in her eyes for a moment!
But now is not the time to think about these things, Zhou Xiuying waved his big knife and shouted: "In one go, kill all these demons!"
