After the defeat of the musket shooting, the morale of the Eight Banners soldiers also suffered a heavy blow, and now almost everyone knows that this battle will be lost, and the chance of escape is very small.

On the positions of the Chu army, the morale of the musketeers became more and more vigorous.

As the Qing army's counterattack continued to weaken, the overseers became idle, and every soldier could consciously enter the battle, especially those Portuguese soldiers were the most active, and the officers' voices were also calm and powerful, and the timing of the order was always just right, and the perfect salvo smashed the rain of bullets on the Tianyou soldiers, and the other side had almost given up resistance.

At this time, the Eight Banners cavalry rushed up.

They made a small circle at the foot of the dirt mountain, bypassed the barricades in front of them and immediately launched a charge, this was a decisive charge, the Eight Banners were ready to die in battle, and whipped their mounts fiercely with their horsewhips, and the spurs kicked the horse's belly, leaving no stone unturned, and the two hundred cavalry ran out of the momentum of thousands of horses, and swept towards the Chu army musketeers like a gust of wind.

The musketeers of the Chu army had already discovered them, and with the orders of the officers, they adjusted their formations, raised their muskets and prepared to meet the cavalry units of the Qing army, although there were no roadblocks at this angle, but the soldiers had no fear on their faces, and everyone knew that the Qing army was bound to be defeated, and this was just the last near-death blow.

The speed of the charge of the war horse was very fast, whether it was a bird gun or a flintlock pistol, there was only a chance to fire a shot, and the officer calmly watched the Eight Banners get closer and closer, and did not give a loud order until he was twenty paces away.

"Fire!"

As a series of gunshots rang out, there was another mournful neighing of the war horse. The cavalrymen of the Eight Banners turned on their backs, and their numbers quickly decreased. At the same time, the infantry of the Gongyi battalion also rushed over from the flank and rear. They trotted all the way, trying to pick up as fast as possible while maintaining their basic formation, to support allies who were not good at hand-to-hand combat.

Seeing the infantry arrive, the musketeers put away the bayonets they had just taken out, reloaded their ammunition, and when the Eight Banners finally rushed out of the entanglement of the Chu infantry, the second round of guns fired. Hutab, who was wearing dazzling armor, became the target of everyone's fire, and his strong body was instantly beaten into a sieve, and he planted his war horse......

At the foot of the dirt mountain. There were only more than 300 people left around Zhang Yingxiang, half of whom were loyal soldiers, and the rest of the Green Battalion soldiers had either fled or had already surrendered on their knees.

Seeing that Khuttab only led two hundred cavalry straight into the enemy position. Zhang Yingxiang knew that he must have gone and never returned. Even if Hutabu was the reincarnation of Lu Bu Xiang Yu, he would not be able to defeat the enemy under such a dense fire of muskets, and at most cause some casualties to the Chu army, and when the three thousand infantry of the Gongyi battalion surrounded him, there was only one way to die.

"Let's go!" The eldest husband should be decided, and if he escapes now, he may be able to leave a life, and if he delays for a while, the Chu army will free up his hands, and Zhang Yingxiang himself will die in battle.

As a good and defeated general. Zhang Yingxiang has a lot of experience in defeating battles and escaping for his life, so he took a brief look at the shape of the battlefield. Immediately gave up the plan to flee to the Zhaojiawan pontoon bridge, which was an obvious strategic point, and the Chu army would inevitably swarm and run to Zhangjiawan himself, which was simply throwing himself into a net to send him to death.

The cavalry of the Chu army had just crossed through the formation of the green camp in Henan and rushed behind them, and the Yuezhou battalion had blocked the front again, seeing that it was already in a desperate situation, Zhang Yingxiang was calm and calm, and ordered one of his generals to step forward to stop the cavalry of the Chu army, and he took more than 100 personal soldiers to run towards a dense forest on the side.

The so-called every time you don't enter, it will be safe to escape into the woods for the time being, how to get out of trouble next, don't think about it now, take a step at a time, Zhang Yingxiang knows that since he has lost the battle, he should not pursue the most perfect result, as long as he saves his life, it is a great luck in misfortune.

Hutab's side was still charging, Jiang Dingyuan on the mountain was also struggling to insist, Tan Xiao didn't expect Zhang Yingxiang to run away suddenly, the escape route was so tricky, and when he sent a team of men and horses to chase after him, Zhang Yingxiang was getting closer and closer to the woods, and he was about to escape.

At this time, the oncoming branches swayed, and a red flag flashed out of the woods, and the word "cow" on the flag was big, and Niu Zhongxiao was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, blocking Zhang Yingxiang's face......

"This flag is very chic."

Wang Kefan stared at Niu Zhongxiao's flag for a long time, and gave a pertinent evaluation, the flagpole has been changed a few times, and now it is supported by a crooked bamboo pole, and the flag is broken in several places, not like it was damaged in the battle, but like it was hung by a tree branch.

"Let the military gate smile, the last general came in a hurry, it is indeed a bit of a wolf, but fortunately he did not disgrace his life and captured Zhang Yingxiang's guy." Niu Zhongxiao smiled from ear to ear, although he lost his troops in this battle, but he caught Zhang Yingxiang, the Henan general soldier of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was enough to explain to He Tengjiao, the so-called one handsome covers a hundred ugliness, this is the truth.

"Niu Shuai kills the enemy and fights hard, so that he can make this miraculous feat, and the younger generation admires it!"

Although Niu Zhongxiao is suspected of picking up cheap, but in the face of his old superiors, of course Wang Kefan will not rob him of his credit, and joked with a smile: "I still have the courage to watch Niu Shuai, may he fight again?" ”

"Huh? Okay! Niu Zhongxiao has always been empathetic, obedient and obedient, nodding and knowing, the battle is to this point, the rest is a good thing to pick fruits, Wang Kefan is going to give him credit: "Please command the military gate, the last general is willing to serve the forerunner." ”

There was something wrong with the words, as if he wanted to take refuge in the Chu army, Wang Kefan couldn't help but smile slightly, pointed to the direction of the steaming river and said: "I estimate that Geng Zhongming's reinforcements are also about to arrive, please Niu Shuai make a hard trip to destroy the pontoon bridge in Zhaojiawan, cut off Geng Zhongming's way of coming, and then build a village according to the danger, make long-term plans, and trap Luck Dehun to death by the steaming river." ”

Jiang Dingyuan's remnants should be left to the musketeers, and it was easy to defeat the Tianyou soldiers, which was the honor that the musketeers deserved, and the credit for recovering Zhaojiawan was not small, and it was enough to give it to Niu Zhongxiao and Zhang Kuang.

On the dirt mountain, Jiang Dingyuan's general flag was lost at some point, and he should have cut it off and taken it away, seeing that after the collapse of Hutab, the remnants of the Qing soldiers were scattered, and they were all scrambling to flee for their lives, it stands to reason that the direction of Zhaojiawan is the only way to retreat, but the defeated soldiers who lost their command have no goal, and they are running in all directions.

These Qing troops have lost the threat, there is no need to waste too much time on them, after the musket team attacked Tushan, Wang Kefan sent an order to collect troops, leaving only Wang Meng's cavalry to pursue the remnants of the enemy, and the main force regrouped to support Wang Sheng.
