"Qianhu, it seems to be the cavalry of the Qing Demon, the heavenly helper of the Shang family!"

Shao Jiugong's eyes were sharp, and he was the first to see hundreds of armored cavalry coming out from behind the Qing army's defense line, and recognized those cavalry at a glance as Shang Kexi's own heavenly assistants.

When Shao Jiugong participated in the Battle of Chaozhou with Kong Guozhi and Kong Guoliang brothers the year before last, he had seen the cavalry under Shang Kexi's command from the north, Liaodong, and the powerful. On that day, Hao Shangjiu knew that it was not a good strategy to rely on Chaozhou City to defend the city, so he adopted the proposal of his son Hao Yao, and personally led 5,000 elites out of the city to fight against the Qing army that arrived in advance, hoping to inflict heavy losses on the Qing army and force the Qing army to retreat to reduce the pressure of defending the city, and strive to hold on for a period of time to wait for the Zheng clan in Fujian to send troops to help, or to renegotiate peace with the Qing army. Who would have thought that before the battle really began, the Hao army was broken through by Shang Kexi's own cavalry in one fell swoop, and Hao Shangjiu, who was under the rout, had to flee into the city with a few remnants of the army, and never dared to send a soldier out of the city again, until the people of the city were martyred with his father and son.

Thinking of the terrible thing about the cavalry of the Shang family charging into battle that day, Shao Jiugong couldn't help but be a spirit, he knew that these cavalry of the Shang family were used by Shang Kexi as the most descendant force, and they were also the backbone of the Han army in the south with the blue flag, so both people and horses were the best supplied by the Pingnan Domain, and the armor on those cavalry was even harder and abnormal, and ordinary arrows could not be shot through at all, and the war horses they rode were all Mongolian horses in the north, and the short Yunnan horses in the south could not be compared with them in terms of weight and speed. Once the charge is launched, no matter how numerous the opponents in front of them are, they will be crushed at the touch of a button.

Rao is June when the Qing army attacked the city, there were soldiers of his own family to climb the city, and he was also killed and injured by the Taiping army, it stands to reason that Shao Jiugong should be much less afraid of his own soldiers, but at this moment he is still extremely afraid, after all, they have no strong city to rely on at the moment, but the opponent is a cavalry who is good at field warfare! What's even worse is that the Taiping army has never had a head-to-head confrontation with the Qing army since it became an army, especially with the cavalry!

Fight on flat ground. How can the infantry win?

Can we beat them, can we win?

……….

Cavalry? Shang's Heavenly Help?

Zhou Shixiang also changed color, and so far in the battle, the second battalion of Zhenyu and Xiongwei, which was used as the main force of the forward, had suffered more than half of the casualties, and the guards battalion that served as the reserve also suffered more than forty percent of the casualties, and the third battalion now had only six or seven hundred troops left. However, under the premise that there were no reinforcements from the Qing army in front of them, although the Taiping army was at a disadvantage, it had favorable conditions for great victories and low morale of the Qing army, and there were reinforcements from the Yangtze River to echo, so even if it could not break through the last line of defense of the Qing army. Nor will it collapse on that occasion. But now that the Qing army has reinforcements, and it is still cavalry, this makes the Taiping army fall into the danger of annihilation, and the previous advantage is as fragile as the moon in the water.

Zhou Shixiang's face was pale, his eyelids couldn't stop beating before, as if it had been confirmed, and there was only one thought in his mind: the last battle, the last battle! Win or live, lose or die!

Turning his head, he saw Shao Jiugong's pale face, and the Jiangxi soldiers behind him were all discolored. Looking at the soldiers who had just reorganized their teams and were ready to attack again, Zhou Shixiang couldn't help but clench his fists, gritted his teeth and took a breath of cold air, he still overestimated the will to fight of the soldiers under his command. In the face of the cavalry they have never touched, in the face of those Qing soldiers who are sitting on horses, they will still be afraid!

I'm not afraid, what can I do if it's terrible. Will you survive if you're afraid?

Zhou Shixiang sneered bitterly and secretly: My own family has come to this era, and it seems that everything is so unsmooth, not to mention the family feud and blood hatred that I bear!

Heaviness. History is too heavy, in my previous life, I never had too many feelings about the few sentences in the history books, but in this life, I feel it vividly, and I feel the unforgettable pain and unforgettable hatred!

This hatred is by no means diluted by time; This hatred is by no means forgiving and can be forgotten; This hatred must be relieved with blood!

I have no way out, if I don't advance, I will die!

"Brothers, follow me to kill the demons!"

……

More than 500 cavalrymen of the Shang family wore one-color horse armor, all of them protected their hearts with bronze mirrors, held knives in their hands, and the pointed helmets on their heads were topped with long red tassels, and the rat-tail whip behind their heads floated straight with the wind in the run. Their faces were full of vicious expressions, their eyes revealed arrogance and arrogance, and they looked at the flag soldiers who looked at them with great disdain in front of them, and also made these hard-working flag soldiers look ashamed, all thinking that they were the strongest army under the prince's domain, and they were powerful, and they couldn't see anything when they didn't wear armor.

Looking at the Qing cavalry that rushed up, Zhou Shixiang's heart rose to his throat, and he fidgeted on the big green horse, and the big green horse under him seemed to feel the restlessness of the master, and he kept pouting his hooves and making a low sound.

As the first soldier stepped over the collapsed fence, and as the faces of the Taiping army on the opposite side were clearly visible, the cavalry of the Shang family began to shout loudly, and finally merged into a wild shout and howl:

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

In this earth-shattering shout, Qin Guocheng swung his long knife forward, and suddenly the soldiers of his own family behind him rushed towards the Taiping army like a tide.

"Prepare ......"

Looking at the Qing Demon cavalry on the opposite side frantically rushing towards him, the bald Jiang He kept swallowing and spitting, and beside him were the 140 men of his guard battalion. These guns were lined up in three rows according to their previous training, and each of them trembled violently with their hands holding them, but none of them threw down their guns and turned around, they had no way to retreat, and they must not retreat - in the fortified city behind them, there were their parents, wives and children!

"Put!"

In the blink of an eye, the cavalry of the Qing army had rushed through a hundred steps, the bald Jiang He could no longer hold it back, he shouted an order, the standard-bearer beside him raised suddenly, and the gunners who had been waiting for the order to fire immediately lit the fire rope on the fire gun, and the fire rope burned to the end, and suddenly the thick smoke rose from the position, and in the dense sound of guns, a fierce fire shot out from the fire guns of each door, shooting deadly guns at those Qing soldiers.

"Uhh

In this round of shooting, more than a dozen soldiers from the front of the family fell down, and the heavy vests on their bodies could not stop the guns, and many of the Qing soldiers who were hit and fell off their horses were beaten out of dense and uneven blood pits.

However, those Qing soldiers ignored the fall of their comrades in front of them, and the blurred appearance of their companions could not shake their fighting spirit in the slightest, they quickly pulled their horses' heads around those fallen comrades, and then rushed towards the Taiping army on the opposite side without stopping.

"Put! Put! Put! ”

The bald Jiang He shouted over and over again, but the sound of guns became more and more thin, and when the Qing cavalry rushed within thirty paces, the sound of guns stopped. The gunslingers, who did not have enough training and not enough medicine, made their last efforts, but they still could not bear the burden of delaying the Qing army.

The Qing army rushed to the front and swung down the butcher's knife. (To be continued.) )
