Chapter 1704: Driving the Sheep

"Quick! Fast! Hurry!"

The soldiers of the cavalry battalion led the horses and marched quickly, in the entire rainbow army, because they could ride on the military horses, they were the most elite battalion people, and the treatment and funds were better than those of other companies, and Danshi was also the hardest battalion.

Usually brush the horse to feed the horse to go into battle in person, and in order to protect the horsepower, usually the march also has to lead the horse, even so, want to join the cavalry battalion veterans is still an endless stream, if not for the limited number of military horses, perhaps the cavalry battalion will become the largest number of companies in the entire rainbow army.

Everyone wanted to be a glorious cavalryman, and the officers and men of the cavalry battalion were even more proud, except for the dragon lance battalion, they thought that their combat effectiveness was stronger than that of every company, so they also carried a little pride in the march.

The two horsemen galloped towards Huilai, and they reported the information they had received from a distance: "Battalion commander, enemy troops have been found ahead!"

"Then we should be the first troops in the whole army to come into contact with the enemy!" Zhou Xiuying has such confidence: "We not only want to drive sheep this time, but also be optimistic about every sheep, and we can't let a sheep run away!"

As he was talking, there were gunshots from Yijing in front, both flintlock guns, and bird guns used by both the Qing army and the Hong army, and I didn't know which battalion had contact with the enemy, so Zhou Xiuying immediately shouted: "The whole battalion is on horse!" Get on board!"

The variegated horse teams of the two companies quickly formed two company phalanxes, and Zhou Xiuying, who was standing in the middle, hung his horse chopping knife to the side, raised his horse team, and shouted: "The horse team is fan-shaped, ready to fight the enemy at any time!"

A hundred horse team, in this era yijing is a horse team that can last half a mile, this posture alone can intimidate a large number of Qing troops, although the training level of this horse team is not very good, most of the time can only act as an infantry on horse, occasionally as a horse charge, but just with their lineup and equipment, they can cut through the defense line of five hundred green battalion soldiers in the first time.

The whole cavalry battalion became busy, the officers and men took the saber in one hand and patted the horse's neck in the other, and the whole horse team began to trot, ready to take part in the battle.

"Go for the guns! Go for the guns!" This was Zhou Xiuying's order, and she rushed to the front of the entire horse team: "Advance to the place where the gunshots rang out!"

The entire cavalry battalion slowly advanced in this rhythm, and soon Zhou Xiuying cut the weeds on the side of the road, and then her eyes became bright.

The battlefield was in front of the entire cavalry battalion, and there were exactly two or three hundred regimental trainers wrapped in green turbans on the opposite side, who were obviously defenseless against the rainbow army having such a horse team, and they were dumbfounded.

Zhou Xiuying didn't give them any chance to react, she patted the war horse lightly, and the first one galloped out, and the entire cavalry battalion was shouting with the same voice: "Kill!"

"Kill!"

The entire horse team suddenly increased its speed, and the regimental training on the opposite side was so frightened that it ran back at the first time, blocking the galloping horse team on the avenue, which was a task that even the dragon gun battalion was not capable of, let alone the hastily formed regimental training in the countryside.

However, there was a Qing legionman who was very clever, and he saw that he could not outrun this horse team with all his might, and how could two legs outrun four legs, so he turned around and knelt on the ground, and magically conjured a red cloth in his hand, wrapped it around his head, and shouted, "I'm waiting to surrender!"

"We've dropped! We're down!"

The whole regiment shouted such a cry, obviously their strength was more than twice as large as the horse team in front of them, Danshi's roaring horse team was too terrible, they didn't have any courage to resist, they just shouted: "We have surrendered!"

The group trainer who was kneeling on the ground with a red turban on his head only felt a chill on the top of his head, Zhou Xiuying's saber gently brushed over him, and then he heard Zhou Xiuying's voice: "You are clever, let them all surrender, otherwise they will all cut off their heads!"

"Brothers, surrender quickly, surrender quickly! Get on your knees, get down on your knees!"

Two or three hundred Tuanyong didn't even shoot a bullet, so they knelt on the ground neatly, waiting for Zhou Xiuying's review, Zhou Xiuying gently wiped the face of the Tuan Ding who surrendered first with a saber: "You are clever, when was this red turban ready?" ”

"The villain is Tai Yong, who fled from Ningguo Mansion, followed Lord Deng Shaoliang, and listened to the veterans in the camp say that he had to prepare this red belt as soon as he went into battle......"

Zhou Xiuying noticed that this Tuan Yong was wrapped around his head with the red belt he tied around his waist: "This is the experience gained from fighting with Changmao in Hubei, if the battle is unfavorable, then use the belt to go down the city at any time, and a bag on the head, you can be confused in front of the long hair, the villain is the first to surrender, please spare the little one one one after another!" ..., Zhou Xiuying was careful, and she immediately noticed the details: "Is there also Tai Yong in Ning Guofu's defense?" ”

"Yes, most of them are soldiers from the three provinces of Sichuan, Chu and Guangzhou, and I only have Tai Yong in Zhejiang, and they are all under the two adults Xia Baoqing and Tao Baodeng!"

"They are also from Taizhou?"

"Yes, Lord Tao Baodeng is from Huangyan, and Lord Xia Baoqing is also from Taizhou, and both adults went to guard Ningguo Mansion after being recruited."

"Xia Baoqing? Tao Boudeng? Zhou Xiuying wrote down these two names: "But no matter who it is, it will be the defeated general of my cavalry battalion." ”

Zhou Xiuying shouted at a cavalryman: "You go to the battlefield to look for it, see if you can find one or two infantry platoons over, we can't take care of so many prisoners!"

The cavalry battalion is still in a fan-shaped search formation, but there is a cavalry company in the rear guarding this group of regimental braves, these regimental exercises are all coerced by Chen Shizhong, and after being taken away the weapons, he breathed a big sigh of relief, the regimental Ding Yijing who bandaged the red belt on his head followed behind Zhou Xiuying's horse, and even patted the horse's ass: "Master Hongjun, this female military gate, we are all Tuan Yong who was coerced by Chen Shizhong, and now that we have descended, we will work hard for Liu Jiehu, can you let us open the way for the military gate in front!"

Zhou Xiuying hesitated for a moment, watching the weapons of Tuan Yong in the rear being gathered together, and several cavalrymen were about to light a fire to burn them clean, and immediately said, "What's your name?" ”

"The villain is called Ye Mengchu!" Ye Mengchu continued to pat Zhou Xiuying's ass: "Female military gate, the villain has always been committed to the Hongjun volunteers, he has never killed a volunteer soldier in Ningguo Mansion, and he doesn't want any name, he is willing to raise righteousness before the battle, yesterday Chen Shizhong killed three people in our village, all of them are my good brothers, forcing us to come to fight against the soldiers, I am willing to drive the king forward and open the way for the soldiers." ”

Zhou Xiuying broke away from the Cattle Knife Company just to lead the horse team, but Danshi's situation made her have to play the idea of horse step coordination: "It's okay, how many people are you trusted?" ”

It's no problem to let Ye Mengchu's team temporarily surrender to the group practice walk in front and act as cannon fodder, the number of danshi can't be too many, so Ye Mengchu is also very clever: "There are thirty people available!"

"Okay, you pick people out!" Zhou Xiuying pulled out the horse chopping knife, and the cold air shocked Ye Mengchu and shivered: "If you dare to be half-hearted, the battalion commander will be the first to kill you!"

With this thirty-step team in front of the road, Zhou Xiuying's horse team lurked behind, and Ye Mengchu and several of his brothers said: "Today I want to avenge yesterday's blood and sea of blood, our village was so mixed with Chen Shizhong's scourge, this revenge can't be avenged, how can you kill six green battalion soldiers!"

They don't care what morality they have, they must know that their village has been plagued by Chen Shizhong, and they can't recover for half a year, so these regimental warriors who are in battle against the water have become full of courage and rushed forward before the horse team pressed the formation.

After a while, the gunfire in front of them stopped, and they only encountered a group of rainbow troops, and Zhou Xiuying shouted towards the red flag opposite: "Which battalion is it, brother!"

"Is it a cavalry battalion? It's our old brother in the Cattle Knife Camp! Old battalion commander, old battalion commander!"

The Ox Knife Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion were both developed from the same company, and the two battalions had no intention of encountering each other on the battlefield, and suddenly became cheered: "Hello brothers of the Cavalry Battalion, the Cattle Knife Battalion is fighting side by side with you!"

"Hello brothers of the Ox Knife Battalion, I want to kill you!"

"Great! It's the Cattle Knife Battalion!"

Zhou Xiuying shouted to the opposite side, "Where is Lu Ziyun?" ”

"The battalion commander is busy picking up the prisoners in the back!"

As soon as it came to the prisoners, Zhou Xiuying immediately pointed to the two or three hundred prisoners at hand: "Old brother of the Oxknife Battalion, this group of prisoners is guarded by you, and our cavalry battalion will take the lead!"

Lu Ziyun's voice sounded in the back: "Old battalion commander, this is not good, we have just captured more than 400 prisoners, this Qing army is really unbeatable, the cavalry battalion is the liliang who watches the sheep when it is critical, so it is better for you to watch these more than 400 prisoners, and our cattle knife battalion will charge the formation, and your cavalry battalion will press the formation!"

If you take care of the prisoners, the cavalry battalion does have a lot of advantages, but Zhou Xiuying said: "No, the cavalry rushes into formation, and the infantry presses the formation!"

Counting up, there are nearly 700 captives here, and although the two battalions are brothers, Danshi wants to go up and charge each other: "The cattle knife battalion catches the sheep, and the cavalry sheep watch the sheep, so that the sheep can't run away!"

"Not only can we catch sheep, but we can also watch them at the same time!"

"Why don't we go up together, your Ox Knife Battalion is infantry, just leave an infantry company to watch these prisoners!"

Both sides regarded this group of Qing troops as a flock of sheep, and there was no way, but the combat effectiveness of the regimental training encountered now was too poor, and it collapsed almost at the same time as the gun fired, so they couldn't wait to lead the Hong army to copy Chen Shizhong's back road.

It's just that the dispute between the two battalions didn't last long, and soon there was gunfire from the front, and then Liu Chang and the second company of Jintang also caught up: "The prisoners here are handed over to me, Yijing has found Chen Shizhong's main force, you hurry up, you can't let go of a sheep!"

He added: "That's the third camp of Taizhou Xiecheng, it's different from ordinary sheep, it's an old goat, you can't let the old goat go down the mountain carelessly!"

Zhou Xiuying Yijing waved her saber: "Brothers, come with me!"

It doesn't matter what kind of sheep it is, whether it's a yellow sheep, a white sheep or an old goat, it's just a knife effort.
