Genius one second to remember the address of this site: (vertex Chinese)., the fastest update! No ads!

The topography of the south of the Yangtze River is very different from Jingxiang, and at a glance, except for the large and small copper mountains, it cannot cover the army of 150,000 at all.

Li Shutai looked at the black crowd at the bottom of the mountain at the top of the mountain, and he couldn't see the edge at all, tiled on the land of Yangzhou, the flag covered the sky and the sun, and the armor and weapons were distinct.

Zhang Yingxiang ambushed Li Haoxian yesterday, and was hit in the eye by a stone blown up by a cannonball.

He blinked, endured the pain, and said, "Dutong, looking at them like this, it looks like they are going to fight a decisive battle with us." ”

Li Shutai rolled his eyes and said, "Zhu Dadian's subordinates are defeated, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Li Haoxian is also here, just to avenge the 200,000 brothers of Jingxiang. Let's stay on the mountain first, and when they surround us, let's go down in one fell swoop, and the impact of the horses coming down the mountain, I'm afraid these people haven't seen it yet, haha. ”

Zhang Yingxiang laughed with him, touched the eye wound, and grinned in pain.

In the Chinese military tent, Hou Xuanyan stood on the lookout car with his sword, and when he looked left and right, Li Haoxian and Zhu Dadian all nodded at him.

Hou Xuanyan raised his voice and said: "As soon as the war drums sounded, the artillery of the Shuizi battalion fired a salvo and drove the Qing soldiers down the mountain. The fire battalion was in front and lined up in a phalanx to withstand the onslaught of the cavalry. I have given orders to the sailors to block their way to Yizheng. After destroying the enemy, cut off Li Shutai's head to me, and I have promised to spread his head all over the south of the Yangtze River. After speaking, he stretched out his hand and waved, and the drum beat loudly.

Li Shutai licked his lips and pulled out his waist knife, but he didn't see the Ming army charge.

At this moment, a fire suddenly flickered on the gentle slope of the Little Copper Mountain! You can see the many flashes of light through the smoke.

A moment later, the roar of "boom, boom, boom ......" was heard.

On the small copper mountain, the mountain rock is extremely hard, so it is called the copper mountain. Two hundred artillery pieces fired a salvo, blasting the rocks on the mountain, and 150,000 people crowded on the mountain, and the mountain was covered with blood mist and fishy smell.

At this time, the scene was like a legendary purgatory, and the terrifying aura spread out in the mountains.

The ground on the hillside was shaken, and the loose soil quickly slid down with the Qing soldiers, and was blown into pieces in an instant. The stones were splashed on the Qing soldiers, and the blood holes that came out were shocking, and there were even larger stones, which could smash people's heads open, and the brains of the white flowers were mixed with black and red blood, and soaked into the soil.

In winter, the grass and trees on the dry mountain are flammable, and the fire on the mountain soon grows.

Li Shutai scolded, turned on his horse, and commanded the army to rush down.

150,000 horses are absolutely impossible to be defeated by artillery fire, even if it is 200 guns. After a volley, the Qing soldiers gave up the idea of hiding in the mountains and taking advantage of the terrain.

The Qing soldiers rushed down the hill with a howl, and everyone knew that after the melee was in one place, the function of artillery would be gone.

Li Haoxian laughed wildly, stepped forward with his horse and spear, and commanded the fire battalion to meet the cavalry in the lead.

Tens of thousands of Qing cavalry rushed down the mountain together, and the whole earth seemed to tremble. The Agni Battalion was unmoved, and they had faced hundreds of charges like this in Jingxiang. Skillfully switching formations, using swords, shields, spears, firearms, bows and arrows, to protect allies as much as possible and kill and wound Qing soldiers.

The momentum of the cavalry was frustrated, and the thousands of leading soldiers were suddenly reduced to the ghosts of the spears, and the front army saw this and pulled away. The Agni Battalion and the Water Battalion also drew their melee blades, spears and swords, and fought with the Qing soldiers who turned around.

The cold land in the middle of winter instantly turned into a boiling Shura field. The host and guest fought, the mountains and rivers shook, the dull crashing sound, the clanging sound of armor, and the deafening shouts came and went.

Li Haoxian's figure is too burly, riding on a horse is one position higher than others, and there is no shortage of skilled archers and horses among the Qing soldiers. Seeing that he had a spear slamming left and right, no one could stop him, so he drew his arrows and shot them. Fortunately, the soldiers around him were alert, raised the iron shield in their hands to block the rain of arrows, and one of the soldiers was hit by an arrow in his arm, gritted his teeth and pulled it out and said: "General, the front is too dangerous, retreat." ”

Li Haoxian threw the spear in his hand upward, held it diagonally in his hand, and threw it hard, penetrating a Qing soldier. Then he tugged on the reins of the horse, took advantage of the horse's hoof, held the barrel of the gun and pulled out the head of the gun. This move is Li Haoxian's specialty, and it all depends on his amazing arm strength, and ordinary people can't do it even if they are high in martial arts.

"Behind are all the brothers who charged, how can you retreat? Kill me to the enemy line! ”

In an instant, the rapidly sprinting war horse had already been killed in front of his eyes, Li Haoxian looked at a one-eyed Qing general and asked, "What is your name, Lao Tzu doesn't kill unknown juniors." ”

Zhang Yingxiang snorted coldly and said, "Grandpa's name is "

Before he finished speaking, he was secretly gathered by Li Haoxian, and suddenly threw a gun through his heart. The sword and shield soldiers of the fire battalion who caught up with him raised their knives and cut off the head of Zhang Yingxiang, who was staring at one eyeball.

The phalanx of the Flame Battalion dispersed, seven people formed a squad, and while the sword and shield soldiers in front of them charged forward, they did not forget to cover the "crackling" explosion of the fire guns behind them.

The battle lasted for an hour, and Li Shutai saw heavy losses, especially the Han army's Zhenglan Banner, and his elite casualties had exceeded his bottom line. Behind him, the green battalion and the newly recruited Han soldiers had already run back to the mountain.

On the lookout car, Hou Xuanyan saw it clearly, and ordered another round of salvo fire from the artillery battalion position. However, this time, the fleeing Qing soldiers were too sparse and did not kill much.

After a salvo, the artillery was out of ammunition, and Hou Xuanyan ordered: "Urge the infantry army in front and attack with all your might." ”

The situation on the battlefield in front has become clear, and it is often the soldiers of several fire battalions besieging a Qing soldier. The strength and weakness have appeared and the victory or defeat has not been decided, Hou Xuanyan stepped out of the lookout car, took his personal soldiers, raised the flag of the Chinese army, and went forward to supervise the battle.

The morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and Li Haoxian was like a sharp cone, piercing the Qing army's formation. Zhu Dadian commanded the Shuizi battalion and outflanked it from both wings. The depth of the Qing soldiers gradually became chaotic, and they were cut into pieces by the fire camp and surrounded in the array.

Li Shutai was at the end of his rope, knowing that he had been defeated today, he raised his waist knife and hacked to death a fleeing rout. Covered in blood, Li Shutai looked up to the sky and roared, and a feathered arrow shot his helmet down. The huge pain made him tilt his head backwards and fall to the ground with a bang, and the Ming army who caught up with him stuck a gun in the soil, pinning him to the ground and unable to move.

Li Haoxian shouted: "Li Shutai was captured alive." ”

The huge cheers shook the heavens and the earth, and the Qing soldiers no longer had the will to fight, and they were scurrying around.

Hou Xuanyan followed the voice, came to the front of the formation, and saw Li Shutai on the ground. I saw that although he was trapped, he was still roaring, and the blood on his face was very terrifying.

Hou Xuanyan took a simple knife from the hands of his own soldiers and stepped forward: "Dog traitor, you are a slave and a slave, and you are cruel to your compatriots, have you ever thought that there will be today?" ”

Li Shutai couldn't move all over, gathered a mouthful of blood and wanted to spit on Hou Xuanyan, but after Hou Xuanyan dodged, he stepped on his head and waved the Pu knife and cut it down.
