The 3,000 soldiers and horses of Chen Shengyuan's troops who rushed out of the camp were basically infantry, and only Chen Shengyuan and his own soldiers rode more than 100 horses. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

From a distance, I saw the cannons of the Cantonese thieves, set up on sports cars one by one, a total of more than ten guns. Chen Shengyuan saw that the Cantonese thieves dared to put the cannon in front of the battle, and thought that the thieves must be on guard, and it was impossible for him to destroy them. Therefore, he was very careful, and ordered a thousand generals to lead two hundred men to rush to four of the gun emplacements, and the rest to wait and see.

I saw that the thousand commanders were getting closer and closer to the cannon of the thief army, and just when Chen Shengyuan was strange that the thief soldiers really had no defense, a row of black and oppressive figures suddenly appeared on the ground in front of the fort, and a burst of intense and dense gunfire followed.

That Qian Zong bore the brunt of the blow, and he didn't know how many bullets he had hit, two hundred Qing soldiers, who were shot at as targets, and more than 100 people died tragically on the spot, leaving only the Qing soldiers in the back row, seeing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly turned around and wanted to flee back, but where was it too late?

Of the 200 people, only a dozen escaped, and several of them were seriously injured and estimated to not live long.

Chen Shengyuan's face turned pale, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart: How many ambushes are there in this thief army, and how can this be fought? It's almost like sending you to death! You can't rush over again, and you will die in the past. So, he ordered to shoot in the direction of the thieves, and then he left it for a while, and then went back to make a mission.

At this time, another general soldier, Liu Ji, led 4,000 Qing soldiers to rush out of the camp.

Liu Ji commanded 3,000 infantry and more than 1,000 cavalry. As soon as he saw Chen Shengyuan's department in the distance hesitating, he sneered and shouted: "No wonder you have to be reprimanded by Lord Qincha, Chen Shengyuan is so timid and afraid of war!" Sons, let's let that coward see the bravery of our Shanxi sons! ”

After shouting, Liu Ji rode first, as if rushing out quickly and slowly, and then, three hundred personal soldiers guarded the left and right, followed by more than 1,000 cavalry and 3,000 foot soldiers under the leadership of the deputy general, rushing to kill the artillery of the Yue thief.

On the side, Chen Shengyuan, who was relieved, looked at Liu Jiyi who was rushing to the side with some schadenfreude. A guerrilla hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but speak: "Lord General Soldier, do you want to send someone to inform General Liu that the Cantonese thieves have set up an ambush in front of the artillery, and they rush over so recklessly, I am afraid that they will suffer heavy losses." ”

Chen Shengyuan glared angrily, staring at the guerrilla and lowering his head, and then sneered: "General Liu is a popular person in front of Lord Qincha, how can he stop him if he wants to make great contributions?" You don't want to mess around? ”

The guerrilla hurriedly admitted his mistake.

After more than ten breaths, Liu Ji's more than 1,000 cavalry had already rushed to a distance of 100 paces from the artillery, and they were able to chop at will, and these cavalrymen all shouted excitedly, fantasizing that they could harvest the heads of a few thieves and exchange some silver taels to go to the wine shops and flower boats outside the city of Yangzhou.

Suddenly, under the cannon in front, two rows of dense thieves suddenly drilled out, and the gray uniforms were connected into two gray lines, followed by the sound of gunfire, rapid and dense gunfire rang out, Liu Ji suddenly found that first the cavalry in front of him fell in a row, and then the soldiers around him were constantly shot and fell off their horses.

The dense lead bullets were shot like raindrops, and Liu Ji only felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and he couldn't help but fall off the horse and hit the ground. Before he landed, he seemed to hear the screams and frightened screams of the soldiers around him, which seemed to be for a moment, and then seemed to stay in the air for a long time, and then, he felt that he fell heavily to the ground and lost consciousness.

And just now with clairvoyance, he came to a lookout platform, his eyes widened, and he was about to scold Chen Shengyuan's soft eggs and praise Liu Ji's bravery that he valued, when he suddenly screamed, and clairvoyance also fell from the lookout, and he himself almost didn't hold on to the wooden fence of the high platform and was about to fall from it.

Tomin Awan never expected that it would be this result:

Liu Ji's more than 1,000 cavalry, divided into three columns, rushed towards the thief soldiers, but were crushed by two gray lines that suddenly drilled out of the ground.

Tomina only saw puffs of gunpowder smoke rising into the air, and when the smoke cleared, he found that the battlefield was already full of corpses and struggling and neighing horses, thousands of cavalry, only more than 300 horsemen turned their horses and fled back, and the infantry that were still charging together, people turned their horses and turned their horses.

Tuo Ming'a took a deep breath, and he suddenly felt that the bravery of Liu Ji and his men was a joke in the face of the crazy firepower of the thieves. And Liu Jiyi, who he had high hopes for, was like a plate of loose sand, and after a few rounds of shooting by thieves, he was already scattered. I still think that even if I fight 500 troops, I will destroy all the artillery of the thief soldiers, now think about it, how ridiculous!

Faced with the blurred gray line in the distance, Tomina only felt that his legs were weak, and a strong sense of powerlessness swelled in his heart.

And Chen Shengyuan, who had retreated to the edge of the wall, wiped the sweat on his forehead. He knew that the Cantonese thieves on the opposite side had many firearms and were very powerful, but the amazing scene in front of him still made him grow his mouth: thousands of cavalrymen fell in groups, fell dozens of steps away from the signature of the gray death line, and piled up into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

And the guerrilla next to him was already so frightened that he couldn't speak. Many of the Qing soldiers around felt that their mouths were dry and their legs were weak, however, after this, there was a strong sense of happiness in their hearts: fortunately, it was not themselves who rushed towards the Yue thief, otherwise, they would now be the corpses of those corpses.

…….

Time rewinds back half an hour ago, three miles south of the long wall, where the captives were.

Shi Zhenji, the commander of the 1st Yi Division, and Shi Fengkui, the deputy commander of the 1st Division, and Shi Zhengao, each led the brothers of the 1st Yi Division, and like the soldiers of the 6th Division, they lay in a trench in front of the artillery.

Shi Fengkui's face was impatient.

He couldn't figure it out, so he pushed the artillery here overnight, more than three miles away from the long wall, and was asked to dig two earthen trenches in succession ten steps in front of the artillery as fortifications.

He couldn't hold it back, so he walked from the trench to his cousin Shi Zhengao, who was more than fifty steps next to him, and complained: "Zhengao, you say, will this division commander and that bearded bullshit chief of staff fight in the end?" Set up the artillery at a distance of three miles, it is impossible to reach the Qing Demon enemy camp in the distance, and also, dig two trenches in front of the artillery, what to do? He thought that this war was a hidden cat? ”

Shi Zhengao comforted: "Fourth brother, you just wait patiently, now run to my side, and when Zhenji finds out, he will talk about you again." ”

He then persuaded: "Fourth brother, don't say it, the chief of staff of the 6th Division of the B, speaking one by one, Division Commander He and Zhenji are willing to listen to him." He said that this artillery is a heavy artillery bought by foreigners, with a long range, and it has the highest accuracy when placed here. Farther away, it's inaccurate, and if it's closer, it will be blasted up again by the demon's cannon. These two trenches were two lines of defense, which were used to shoot at the shotgunners and protect the artillery. ”

"I also know that these cannons were placed four at a distance of dozens of steps, and they were also aimed at the camp of the Qing Demon, which must have been used to bombard the camp. But I still think it's a bit outrageous! At the beginning, the largest heavy artillery among the Qing demons captured by our Heavenly Kingdom was difficult to hit at such a long distance. Shi Fengkui was unconvinced.

"This ...... The brother is also not clear. However, since Master He and Zhenji both agree to this, there should always be his reasons. ”

Shi Fengkui said impatiently: "Okay, count him reasonable." Why don't you fire the cannon yet, I want to see how powerful the cannons are that nonsense! ”

"It's almost time! Now that all the soldiers are in place, they are about to open artillery bombardment. Before Shi Jingao finished speaking, he heard a passionate drum beating.

"It's coming!" Shi Fengkui looked intently at the camp of the Qing Demon on the opposite side.

Hearing the deafening sound of cannons behind him, Shi Fengkui only felt that the whole earth was trembling, and four huge cannons roared out from the heavy artillery behind him, and smashed quickly towards the Qing Demon camp directly opposite, only to hear the sound of the violent impact, Shi Fengkui saw very clearly, the Qing Demon camp obviously collapsed in one place, the stones and wood were splashed on the ground, and several Qing Demon soldiers were hit to the stump and broken arms.

Shi Fengkui suddenly changed color!

This man-made heavy artillery is terrifying, and it is simply bold. Even a brave person like Shi Fengkui couldn't help but be timid in the face of this terrifying heavy artillery, and a feeling of powerlessness arose in his heart.

With the next few rounds of cannons, Shi Fengkui couldn't help but scold: "Which fucking bastard created such a terrifying murder weapon, not to mention the huge power, it is still so accurate, and the speed of firing the cannon is so fast." ”

He felt that when he was in the Taiping Army before, the cannons he used were completely miscellaneous clay guns.
