Chapter 831: The Sword Wants to See Blood
After suppressing the Qing army's naval division with absolute strength, Gan Hui, Guo Faguang and other generals commanded the naval division to break into the harbor, and several against one to encircle and annihilate the remaining Qing warships. The Qing army was defeated www.biquge.info the Qing army, and there was no way to fight back.
Black smoke filled the sky over the water camp in Guazhou, explosions sounded from time to time on the water, and the warships of the Qing army were sunk, crashed, and burned one by one.
On the shore, the Qing troops on the fort desperately fired their artillery, trying to defeat the Taiping naval division that was slamming their own warships, but with little success. Seeing his own warships sinking one by one, Jiangdu General Ma Xiong was terrified.
With a "boom", a "fire dragon tribute" hit a medicine on a Qing warship, causing a huge explosion, accompanied by the sky-high fire, one by one the burning people jumped from the boat into the river. On the water, there were fluttering Qing soldiers everywhere.
"Defeated!"
The general trend has gone, Duobi sat on the deck in pain, looking at the Taiping warship that was rushing rapidly in front of him, and there was a earth-shattering shout of killing in his ears, and from time to time there were cannons falling around, and from time to time there were soldiers who were shot by guns and arrows, and they wailed miserably on the ground.
There was a "bang", and a soldier on a Taiping warship approaching hit Duobi, and the gun flew to the back against Duobi's head, knocking his hat to the ground, revealing his bare head.
Duobi was in despair, the sound of guns, cannons, and arrows in his ears became louder and louder, and his eyes could clearly see a group of thieves brandishing long knives and smiling at him. He knew that he would definitely die today, he was a Manchurian, and once he was caught, he would definitely be tortured to death by the Taipingkou. After the Taiping army occupied Nanjing, what happened to those banner people in the city, Duobi knew it clearly, and he also knew that Prince An Yue Le, Liangjiang Governor Lang Tingzuo, and University Scholar Sehei were all chopped alive by the Taiping army, and it is said that the generals cut people to only a bloody white bone. What a terrible punishment it was, how much his heart was pounding, Rao was that he had killed too many Han people, and had cut off the heads of countless Han people, but it really made him face a corpse that had been cut off without any flesh and blood, only bones, and he would be afraid, he would be afraid. If this kind of thing happened to him, and he was the one who was chopped to death, then he would never be able to accept it.
No, I must not be caught by thieves!
Duobi stood up suddenly, he was the commander of Manchuria, and he was a big official in the eyes of the thieves, if he fell into the hands of the thieves, his fate would definitely not be good.
Peel? Five horses split? Halved? Put someone’s head on a spike?
No matter how he died, Duobi didn't dare to bear it, and the thought of that terrible death made the blood in his whole body coagulate.
"I am a dignified Manchurian man, how can I be insulted by thieves, it is better to die clean!"
Duobi looked at the turbulent river with a pale face, and his heart was beating wildly.
"Toto!"
The multi-strong Goshkha Erfu stumbled from behind the boat, the general trend has gone, the water camp is over, the gods can't save it, and now he can only quickly protect Lord Dutong to withdraw ashore, and he is afraid that he will not be able to go ashore when it is late. But when he ran to the front deck, he found Lord Totong standing there as blank as a dead man, his eyes seemed to be wooden, and he looked motionless at the river below the boat.
"Dutong, you can't!"
Erfu's consciousness was not good, he pounced and tried to hold Dutong, but he was a step too late, he couldn't hold Dutong.
Duobi closed his eyes tightly and jumped off the boat. He would rather commit suicide than fall into the hands of the Taipings. He was terrified by the cruelty of the Taiping army to the Manchurian bannermen.
"Hurry up and save Lord Totong, save Lord Totong!"
Erfu was so anxious that he screamed, and two Qing soldiers with good water skills jumped down, and soon pushed Duobi out of the water, and the Qing soldiers on the boat braved the guns of the Taiping army to catch people, and then carried Duobi into the cabin. Erfu urged the helmsman to turn ashore, and then rushed to the cabin, and saw that everyone was looking at Lord Dutong with pale faces, thinking that people could not be saved, and he was frightened. If Duobi had three long and two short, he and the boatload of soldiers would have died.
The other Goshha put his hand to Duobi's nostrils, feeling that Lord Dutong was still breathing in and out, and screamed in surprise. Erfu was busy exploring again, and sure enough, Lord Dutong was still saved, and he immediately put his mind at ease. He couldn't care about what it would look like outside. As soon as the ship docked, he ran to the shore with Lord Tutong on his back.
After landing on the shore, the Qing soldiers felt as if they had escaped, and the hard soil under their feet made them feel like they were separated from the world. Duobi woke up slowly, but found that he was not dead, and when he looked at Erfu and them, he suddenly knew that he was saved by his subordinates. He wanted to roar, he wanted to lash out, but in the end he didn't say anything. It's strange to say, just now I was so desperate that I just wanted to die, but now I don't want to die, but I suddenly have countless courage.
"Hold the fort, don't let the Taiping Kou go ashore!"
Duobi relieved himself and immediately organized the Qing army on the shore to form a defensive line to forcibly suppress the army's morale that was almost shaken by the rout of the naval division. He personally waved his sword in front and commanded the Qing army to meet the enemy. The person who reported the news had been gone for a long time, believing that reinforcements were on the way, and as long as they held on, the Taiping Kou would not be able to set foot on the shore.
In the port, after the naval division eliminated the remnants of the Qing army's warships, it immediately organized artillery fire to suppress the Qing army's east battery and the west battery on the beach to cover the infantry landing.
Zhou Shixiang put down the clairvoyant mirror and gave an order to the guards around him, and immediately the flag-bearer on the ship played the flag of landing, and the horn of attack sounded again.
When the landing order finally came, he walked to the bow of the ship and shouted at the more than 300 soldiers behind him: "The knife wants to see blood, and the gun wants to kill people!" ”
"The knife wants to see blood, and the gun wants to kill people!"
Thousands of soldiers from the Second Town who participated in the landing shouted the slogan of earth-shattering and descended down the side of the boat one by one, and then rushed to the shore one by one.
Tie Yi chose the landing site on the beach in front of the Qing army's West Fort, and after paying more than 100 casualties, the second town waded ashore and quickly launched an attack on the Qing army in the West Fort.
The second town was the all-firearms unit of the Taiping Army, and the whole town was equipped with the most "thunderstorms" among all towns, so as soon as they landed, the Qing army in the West Fort was killed and injured by powerful firearms that they had never encountered. The general Ma Xiong couldn't resist it, so he had to lead the remnants of the army to abandon the fort and retreat.
The sound of cannons, drums, and footsteps was like thunder and lightning.
Seeing that the defenders of the West Fort were defeated and retreated, Duobi was angry and anxious, and when he saw that the rout of the West Fort was rushing straight to the canal with his head in his hands, he was furious, and hurriedly took out his long knife and planted his flag on the ground, and then stood under the flag with a knife, shouting: "Those who have had this flag will not be forgiven!" ”
The rout was suppressed, standing there and not daring to advance, Ma Xiong saw that Manchuria was in front, so he wanted to make up for it, and turned back to recapture the fort. At this time, another rout rushed over like a defeated leaf swept up by a strong wind. One of the soldiers panicked and ran for his life, not seeing Duobi standing there, and running over the flagpole in a daze.
Duobi gritted his teeth with hatred and slashed it off, and the soldier screamed miserably, rolling on the ground in pain, and blood stained the river beach red. However, the rest of the Qing soldiers were not frightened at all, and they actually bypassed the Manchurian military flag and hurriedly ran towards the pontoon bridge on the canal. Some of the routs took off their coats while running, and they only hated their fathers and mothers for having two legs. Duobi scolded angrily, but there were only dozens of Manchurian soldiers around him, how could he stop so many routs.
The Taiping army, which had captured the West Fort, had already advanced in the direction of Duobi under the leadership of the officer. Although Duobi still held his sword under the military flag, it no longer worked at all, and a group of routed soldiers bypassed his military flag, rushed to the pontoon bridge, and fled for their lives. Even Ma Xiong, he doesn't know where he was wrapped up in the defeated soldiers.
"Erfu, quick, quickly dismantle the pontoon!"
Duobi gritted his teeth and ordered Erfu to take people to demolish the bridge, but Erfu begged him bitterly: "Lord Dutong, don't tear down the bridge, let the brothers find a way to live!" Otherwise, the whole army will be wiped out. ”
Duobi looked at the Taiping army that was pressing like a wave, and the routed soldiers who were all in chaos and scrambling to escape on the bridge, and shook his head helplessly, but he was still unwilling to escape. He still wants to wait, the reinforcements of the big battalion will arrive soon!
Seeing that Lord Dutong refused to leave, Erfu and other Manchurian soldiers had nothing to do. At this time, an arrow flew over Duobi's left ear, and he was so frightened that his soul fell, and Erfu and other Manchurian soldiers saw this, stepped forward and forcibly hugged Duobi, and dragged him to the pontoon bridge.
