Chapter 235: The Real Dragon Lance Battalion

"Shotgun, shotgun!"

The battle between the two sides smelled of blood from the beginning of the first battle, and neither side expected that the other side was actually equipped with so many foreign guns.

Lu Ziyun originally thought that his entire infantry battalion was put into battle, and to deal with the nearly 1,000 Qing troops with the tunnel rifles and firing rifles at hand, he still came by hand, but he didn't expect that the Qing army reinforcements that came were actually equipped with foreign guns, and the guns were raining down, and they had experienced a lot of battles, and they actually pressed the infantry company in front of them to retreat a little back by more than ten steps.

He immediately rushed forward and shouted loudly through the artillery fire: "Cattle Knife Battalion, now is only the time to kill chickens, are you going to retreat?" ”

Although the history of the Cattle Knife Battalion is relatively new, under the leadership of Lu Ziyun, the combat effectiveness and traditions of the entire unit have been maintained very well, and Lu Ziyun's words reached the ears of the officers and soldiers in the rain of bullets, and immediately some bold soldiers rushed out with battle flags: "Cattle Knife Battalion, forward!" ”

And behind them, the cavalry battalion was also eager to try, many officers came from the old Ox Knife Battalion, and when they saw Lu Ziyun in a bitter battle, they immediately took the initiative to ask for battle: "Battalion commander, let's go up to support Ziyun, we can't let the Ox Knife Battalion suffer!" ”

Zhou Xiuying was holding a horse chopping knife in her hand, and her body was already covered with blood, but she was not in a hurry, and said loudly: "What are you going up to do now, Ziyun can still support it, and the time for our horse team to play has not yet arrived!" ”

She commanded again: "Always ready to mount and pursue!" ”

On the opposite front, Bi Dingbang was also taken aback.

He once heard the captured Red Turban Army say that among the Red Turban teams, only the dragon spear sentry led by Liu Jiehu was the strongest, according to the prisoner's statement: "The tactics we use are just a little bit of what Liu Jiehu has learned, if you go south this time and follow Liu Jiehu together, you will definitely have no chance of winning." ”

At that time, Bi Dingbang thought that this was just an exaggeration, but now that he really participated in the battle with Liu Jiehu, he realized that the prisoner was not nonsense, yes, this Liu Jiehu's team was really difficult to deal with.

The red thieves in front of him were only more than 400 people, but the nearly 1,000 soldiers under his command, including 400 brave soldiers who had been turned into foreign guns and foreign artillery, could not occupy the slightest advantage, and between the rain of bullets and bullets, the damage of the side was getting bigger and bigger.

Presumably this is the strongest dragon spear battalion under Liu Jiehu, right? Bi Dingbang shouted loudly: "We can even defeat the dragon spear battalion of Liu Jiehu, what other team can stop us!" ”

It's just that the battle between the two sides on both sides of this avenue can be described as cruel, although Lu Ziyun's Ox Knife Battalion was squeezed back, but the entire infantry battalion has always been a good hand at building fortifications, and their improvised defense line made the Min army on the opposite side pay a greater and greater price.

On the other hand, although the Min Yong commanded by Bi Dingbang had an advantage in terms of troops, they never camped and built fortifications, and they didn't know what the fortifications were.

It's just that in the rain of bullets, more and more casualties, Bi Dingbang saw another old friend injured under the muzzle of the red thief, and shouted: "Quickly call the town to come up to support, quickly call the town to come up and support, if we continue to fight like this, my 400 soldiers will be filled in like this!" ”

He knew very well that although the dragon spear battalion of the red thieves was brave, after all, the strength was limited, only four or five hundred, but General Rao brought four thousand people from Fujian Province this time, and all four thousand people were transferred, presumably with the tactics of the sea of people can overwhelm this dragon spear battalion.

As long as the dragon spear battalion is crossed, what capital does Liu Jiehu still have?

And now that he had thought of a brilliant way to stir up the morale of the army, he stood up and shouted: "Brothers, do you want foreign guns? The red thief on the opposite side is holding foreign guns in his hands, everyone go up and grab it, and the ones who grab it are all their own! ..., but Rao Tingxuan, who was in the back, got a news that frightened him: "The main town, the main town, there are a lot of red thieves, a lot of red thieves, all of them are dragon spear battalions, dragon spear battalions!" Lord Bi Dingbang can't resist the enemy, please go up to support the town quickly! ”

As soon as he heard this, Rao Tingxuan originally just came up to suppress Bi Dingbang, but now he gritted his teeth, and when the momentum of this big smoke was still at its strongest, he shouted loudly: "Lao Lai, Lao Lai, the time has come to fight hard, we can't pit Lao Bi, let's go together!" ”

Lai Gaoxiang is a general with Bi Dingbang under Rao Ting's players, although it is not as good as Bi Dingbang's 400 soldiers are all foreign guns and cannons, but they are also equipped with a lot of Western firearms, as soon as he heard that Bi Dingbang was in danger, he immediately responded: "Zhentai rest assured, even if you fight for your life, you have to snatch Lao Bi back!" Brothers, follow me! ”

With Rao Tingxuan's order, the remaining nearly 3,000 people of the entire Fujian army accelerated their pace.

But the first to rush to the battlefield for reinforcements was the Nanxi battalion, now Huo Qiu is riding on a war horse, holding a saber in one hand and a revolver in the other, and said to Yun Tianzong beside him: "Tianzong, we Nanxi Shuangyun must not be missing, Ziyun is fighting hard, it's up to you!" ”

"Nanxi Shuangyun, no one is missing!" Yun Tianzong shouted loudly: "Put the twelve-pounder mountain howitzer out of the line, let it go!" ”

And on the battlefield, Bi Dingbang and Lu Ziyun are fighting inseparably, originally in Bi Dingbang's heart, no matter how brave this dragon spear battalion is, there is a limit, who would have thought that his side would talk about fighting for foreign guns, but it aroused the blood of the red thieves on the other side, and they shouted loudly: "There are hundreds of foreign guns, all of them are returned and dedicated to the inspection point!" ”

"That's right, these hundreds of foreign guns, our Cattle Knife Battalion is going to be decided!"

"This time it depends on the skills of our Cattle Knife Battalion!"

Until now, Bi Dingbang has determined that the enemy he faces is not the imaginary dragon spear battalion, but an unknown cattle knife battalion, the cattle knife battalion is already strong to this extent, and what will happen to the stronger dragon spear battalion?

It's just that before he could think clearly, the entire team had already retreated and shouted: "The reinforcements of the red thieves are up, the reinforcements of the red thieves are up!" ”

At the same time, it was accompanied by solid bullets and grenades fired by the twelve mountain howitzers, and the grenades caused a lot of damage and chaos in the dense crowd, and then Yun Tianzong took the lead and killed him: "Nanxi camp come with me!" ”

"Nanxi Camp!"

Looking at this blood-like battle flag, Bi Dingbang quickly made it clear that the enemy army on the opposite side was the "Nanxi Battalion" in the mouth of the prisoners, according to the prisoners of the Red Turban Army, this Nanxi Battalion was also not simple, it was the second unit that could fight under Liu Jiehu, only inferior to the Dragon Lance Battalion.

What kind of way can this play be?

Before Bi Dingbang could think clearly, the Nanxi battalion on the opposite side had already given him a fatal blow, and the entire defense line collapsed like an avalanche in a dense rain of bullets, and the combat effectiveness and firepower of the Nanxi battalion were much more fierce than those of the Niudao battalion.

Not to mention that this Qing army fought a lot with the Oxknife Battalion, and now after the Nanxi Battalion joined the front, it brought six twelve-pounder mountain howitzers, and the result was that people fell from time to time on the Qing army's side.

In addition to the soldiers led by Bi Dingbang himself, the Qing soldiers who were contained and counterattacked after the collapse collapsed again, and they desperately ran backwards, throwing everything they could, and this action once again made the situation on Bi Dingbang's side seem more and more dangerous.

There were only two or three hundred people left around him, and the two battalions of the Rainbow Army belonged to the same infantry regiment, which had always cooperated very well in peacetime, and they did not hesitate to attack.

"Ziyun, the left wing is handed over to you!"

"Yunzong, the right wing will solve it for you!"

From time to time, the bullets of Sifei caused a massacre effect around Bi Dingbang, watching them kill with bayonets, many soldiers could not parry, and took the lead in retreating, Bi Dingbang shouted: "I believe in Lord Zhentai, Lord Zhentai will not leave us, reinforcements will arrive soon!" As soon as he finished saying this, the soldiers had already fought with the Hong Army, and Bi Dingbang was also surrounded by the Hong Army, and he personally held a handful of Changyu and wanted to meet the white soldiers of the Hong Army.

And at this time, the reinforcements of the Qing army finally rushed over, Rao Tingxuan took a look at the battlefield, and found that the situation was very wrong, the opposite side was all defeated soldiers who fled back, and there were only one hundred and eighty people scattered on the front line to support them, and his soldiers and horses were just gone?

He clearly remembered that the troops he had sent to the front line were at least 13,400 men, accounting for one-third of his total strength, but in just a moment, he had already lost everything.

But after all, he has been a military general for many years, and he has just smoked a burst of opium smoke, and his spirit is surprisingly excited, and he immediately lifted the war knife in his hand and urged the military horse to rush forward: "Lao Bi, I'm here!" ”

The faster is Lai Gaoxiang, he and Bi Dingbang have been together for many years, although there are some small frictions, but how can they be good friends for many years, they took the lead and rushed over, and the two sides started a long fight.

Rifles, bayonets, shotguns, guns, artillery, bayonets, fists, all the weapons were used on both sides, but Lai Gaoxiang soon felt that something was wrong, and the casualties on his side were too great?

After a while, his soldiers lost at least thirty or forty people, but he finally snatched Bi Dingbang back from the hands of the red thief, and he shouted loudly at Bi Dingbang: "The dragon spear battalion of the red thief is so brave, it is really beyond my expectations!" ”

"This is not a dragon lance battalion!" Bi Dingbang on the other side was in a very poor mental state, but he still answered his question: "It's not the Dragon Lance Battalion!" ”

"It's not Liu Jiehu's dragon spear battalion, what kind of team is that?" Lai Gaoxiang found that there were so many reinforcements coming up from behind, and they were not the opponents of the red thief, and the red thief's artillery was too powerful, and all the flowering shells, shotguns, and solid bullets were used, causing casualties again and again in the formation of the side.

Bi Dingbang told Lai Gaoxiang the answer: "It's the Niudao Camp and the Nanxi Battalion!" ”

Lai Gaoxiang immediately asked, "Where is the dragon spear battalion?" ”

"Dragon Lance Battalion?" Bi Dingbang pondered this question solemnly.

But the next moment, a sudden burst of gunfire from the rear answered him: "The dragon lance battalion is there!" ”
