"Soldiers, warriors of the Qing Dynasty,...... Kill! Rebellion—"

The veteran roared, the torch shone in the middle of the martial arts in the lead, brandishing the waist knife, and led a team of eight banners behind him to let go of the horse's hooves and rush forward, his black and red face was full of indomitable perseverance and firmness. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, generals are needed to take the lead in charging to inspire people and strengthen morale. He had to rush to the forefront.

The four thousand cavalry that followed Wu Ge were not elite, and their composition was very complicated. There are the green battalion horse team of Zhili, the Beijing banner disciples in Beijing who are 'loyal to the country and protect the Qing Dynasty', the Mongolian cavalry transferred from the steppe, and the horse armor soldiers who are transferred from outside the Northeast Pass.

Compared with the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry a hundred years ago, these people are a group of complete rabble, and the proficiency of bows and horses is all nonsense, except for the superb riding skills, few people can skillfully play horse pistols and spears on horseback. It's just that the galloping horses of 4,000 cavalry, the majestic momentum, the excitement of soaring, are still as unshakable as a mountain.

However, the momentum is not suitable for rice. Their opponents were the 3rd Division, which was in high gear, and artillery positions at various locations. One by one, they stared firmly at the rushing Manchu cavalry, and there was not the slightest cowardice in them.

And the night, the pitch black night.

Of course, large fireworks can light up the battlefield, and the team of more than four thousand horses is divided into four units.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......" A bunch of flowering bombs shot out. The shells landed, and the smoke of the explosion immediately swallowed the figures of dozens of cavalry who swept in.

The fighters of the 3rd Division raised their muskets in their hands.

...... the first, second, and third rows, more and more Qing cavalry appeared in people's sight. Cannonballs rained down.

The roaring explosions rang out again and again, and the bullets and iron bullets wantonly plundered lives. But more than 10,000 horses' hooves trampled the earth, and the roaring sound was really a shocking excitement. Even the cannonballs can't seem to stop the iron cavalry from sweeping, as if you are in the middle of the sea rapids, and the next moment the whole person will be swept away by this 'torrent'.

The distance got closer and closer, gunshots rang out, and the Qing cavalry began to fall like dumplings.

Duan Yonggui was shot in his right arm, his arm bones were shattered, and the pain was unbearable, but he still lay down under the horse's neck and still led the team to charge. Because at this moment, it is impossible for him to get out of it. Wu Ge arranged a team of warlords in the back, and at the same time, in the midst of the galloping army, he could at most slow down his speed, and it was impossible to directly rush out of the team, which would be directly knocked over by the cavalry behind.

Unlike the Zhili [including Shandong] Green Battalion Horse Team, which has a relatively weak will to fight, the Eight Banners Horse Team composed of Manmeng as the main force still has a strong will to fight. For them, the Fu Han army was a life-and-death enemy who took away their rights and glory. The Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners have enjoyed the glory and wealth of the Central Plains in this flowery world for more than 100 years, and now their fundamental interests have been impacted, of course, they are congenitally hostile to the Han army. In addition, the Fu Han army has always been very strict with the prisoners of the Eight Banners, and all the best ones have become coolies, which further aroused the hatred of the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry.

The Fu Han army was more often hostile to the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners; And the Eight Banners for the Fu Han Army is already an out-and-out struggle between the people and clans!

Therefore, the fighting spirit of the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry in the face of the Fu Han army must not be underestimated.

"Rush—" Wu Ge had already withdrawn from the front of the team, but he was still shouting in the team. The Qing army had already penetrated to the first layer of garrison positions.

The soldiers of the Fu Han Army did not panic at all, and wore the first layer, and there was also the second layer, which was closer to the artillery position, but it was also in the coverage area of the shotguns. The soldiers of the Third Division only became hot with the cold light in their eyes. "Bang bang bang-" The gunshots were really as loud and dense as a torrential rain, sweeping from the left and right. Various artillery positions also opened fire one after another, and one shell after another kept falling on the Qing army's horse team.

Some of the Eight Banners horsemen took out their muskets to return fire, but they were far more courageous than effective.

"Rush! Kill the past...... Kill it! Seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, Wu Ge shouted excitedly, and the cavalry behind him who were constantly dwindling also raised their hearts and rushed forward more quickly. The first layer of defense they have passed through!

Below is the second layer, and below the second layer is the artillery of the Fu Han army......

Every cavalryman took it for granted that if he got close, the musket would become waste. You can wield a sword and kill any enemy at will.

However, the four Qing horse teams that passed through the first layer of the defensive position of the Fu Han Army turned everyone into moths to the flames, and they fell into a desperate situation together between the second layer of the garrison position and the position of the third division. Unlike the first layer of defense that they passed through, the second layer of defense was even further inside, and it had already touched the edge of the No. 1 artillery position, and the big killing weapon of the shotgun position became the main force of the No. 1 artillery position to attack the Qing army's horse team.

That one shotgun is hundreds of projectiles, compared with the shotgun with a huge coverage, what kind of flowering bullets, iron bullets, those are all little brothers. The lethality between the two is simply incomparable.

The shotguns of the No. 1 artillery position + the shells of the remaining artillery positions + guns + grenades + a small part of the mortars form an insurmountable wall of death. Countless corpses of men and horses lay here on top of each other. But the Qing army was still attacking the position like a wild sea.

Wu Ge's heart was really hard and hard, and until he died, he did not give a single order to retreat to the remaining Qing army horses.

Unfortunately, his blow was only sent to death in the end.

The 4,000 Qing army horses are really moths that put out fires, and they are just moths that put out fires.

Until the remnants surrendered, the whole army was annihilated, and there was no hope of breaking through the front line of the Fu Han army. At most, sporadic Qing cavalry entered the ranks of the guards of the artillery position, stirring up a ripple.

This ripple swirled and disappeared, and it couldn't even give hope to the Manchu cavalry behind him. I don't know how long they held out in the formation, but the group of cavalry abandoned their pride and surrendered!

Duan Yonggui was not dead yet, but he felt that his whole person was like flying into the sky, fluttering. His eyes went straight to the dark sky, looking at the stars in the sky, until the soldiers of the Fu Han Army who were searching the battlefield saw him who was seriously injured, and stabbed him, the blade sank into Duan Yonggui's chest, and there was a touch of unwillingness in those eyes - Daqing, is it really about to end?

Defeat after defeat in battle, ...... again and again

……

"Drive, drive......"

A new day arrives, and the bright red sun rises over the eastern horizon. The morning sun sprinkled on the surface of the river, as if it were a little bit of broken gold. The surface of the river fluctuated, and "broken gold" shimmered in the microwave.

A fast horse took advantage of the clear light of the morning light and galloped to the sailor camp outside Jiangyin City.

"Quick, I want to see Huang Junmen, I want to see Huang Junmen."

The Qing soldiers guarding the gate stopped the men and horses, and the rider planted himself directly from the horse. The gatekeeper didn't recognize the man's face, but he recognized the sign in the man's arms and was startled. Even asked people to bring water, poured a few mouthfuls of the rider, and let the rider set up a big tent to send Huang Zhenggang directly.

Huang Zhenggang had already gotten up at this hour, and when he saw the person coming, he was as startled as the gatekeeper, because he knew this person, this person was the palace guard who served in front of Feng Sheng's forehead and in front of the army.

"Changzhou was besieged, and the positions on all sides outside the city changed hands overnight, and the army was already wrapped in it."

Feng Sheng's forehead let this skilled guard sneak out to report the news in the midst of the crisis, because this Jiangyin has the last remaining combat strength of the Qing army in Jiangnan - a large number of sailors and warships, as well as five or six thousand army battalion soldiers.

Changzhou was already surrounded by the Fu Han army, Chen Ming only needed to divide his troops to attack Jiangyin City from the land, and Huang Zhenggang would face a dilemma.

On the water, they are facing the frequent challenges of the naval division of the Fu Han army, and the infantry team of the Fu Han army on the land will insert a horizontal pole again, and the powerful artillery fire of the Fu Han army, how can the Qing army hold Jiangyin City? If Huang Zhenggang hadn't planned earlier, he would have suffered a big loss if he was caught by land and water by the Fu Han army.

And the news urgently needs to be delivered to Beijing quickly.

Huang Zhenggang's face changed greatly, he had seen the layout of the position outside Changzhou with his own eyes, such a huge trench area, there were still plenty of troops in the city, and it would be completely lost overnight, how could this be?

Huang Zhenggang asked the recruits to be sent to the military tent to rest, and he went around and around in the big tent. He wasn't thinking about the matter of Changzhou, as soon as the Fengsheng army was surrounded like this, the previous plan of the Qing army in Jiangnan was completely frustrated.

Jiangyin waterway and Changzhou land road, these are two gates, firmly blocking the Fu Han army in the area west of Taihu Lake. But now the decisive battle on the water has not yet begun, and the behavior on the land route has changed dramatically overnight.

Huang Zhenggang pressed his worries about the Qing army in Changzhou, and the problem he himself had to face was that it was meaningless for his troops and army to defend Jiangyin again.

"Drumming, Ju General."

His brain was throbbing, Huang Zhenggang made up his mind in his heart, and shouted loudly to the soldiers outside.

"Jiangyin must be withdrawn!"

……

Just when the Qing army in Jiangyin was busy retreating, Wuxi, which was only seventy or eighty miles away from Changzhou, Chen Ziling and Qin Youzi also received the news that 'Changzhou is not good'.

Chen Ziling had the hat of Wuxi County Order on his head at this time, and Qin Youzi was the general manager of Wuxi Yingqian.

The official positions and fame of the two cannot be compared with Wu Xiongguang, who wears the top of the four products, but the struggle of the two has also paid off, especially Qin Youzi. Before, he was just a poor little transparent in the Qin clan, but now he has also become a character in the Qin clan, a giant clan in the south of the Yangtze River.

Hearing the news from Changzhou, the two looked at each other, just like Huang Zhenggang's first reaction, their expressions were full of disbelief! There are 70,000 or 80,000 people in Changzhou.

"Brother Xinwei [Chen Ziling], this matter is very important, I ...... junior brother" Qin Youzi wants to go back to Xiaolou Lane, and this matter must be reported to the Qin family's parents.

Chen Ziling's face was full of panic, and he slowly regained his composure after the initial confusion in his mind, "Brother Xiyan go and return quickly, brother is waiting for you." "The Qin clan is a Wuxi wang clan. Chen Ziling was also looking forward to Qin's decision as a reference at this time.

The Qing army was surrounded by the Fu Han army overnight in Changzhou with 780,000 troops, and the red flags of the Fu Han army were floating on the positions outside the city on all sides. (To be continued.) )
