Chapter 241: The Decisive Battle (11)
"Rush up, cut off the heads of the thieves and barbarians, and let them know how powerful our banner soldiers are!"
"Rush up, hack them, hack them!"
“……”
The galloping war horse looked very excited, and the knight on the horse was even more sickly excited. In the eyes of Zeng Shicheng, who took the lead, the Taiping troops on the opposite side who were so frightened that they were silent were no different from dead people. Although they bravely did not turn around and flee, although they bravely stood there to meet the enemy, they were very vulnerable!
The experience of following the king of Pingnan to fight in the customs told Zeng Shicheng, a native of Gaizhou, Liaodong, that the army of the Ming people in the south had never dared to fight, no matter how good their equipment was, no matter how neat their array was, everything was useless. As soon as the hooves of the first war horse of the Great Qing warriors stepped into the opponent's formation, the southern barbarians would quickly retreat, and they would collapse in fear without even approaching them. Therefore, there is no need to be afraid, there is no need to hesitate, as long as you boldly rush forward, as long as the courage approaches them, the victory will belong to me Zeng Shicheng, to my King Pingnan, to my Qing Dynasty, and to every warrior I fought for the Qing Dynasty!
"Ahh …… Kill! ”
Zeng Shicheng roared excitedly.
"Kill!"
More than 400 cavalry of the Shang clan also let out an earth-shattering roar, and they roared and waved the long knives in their hands, desperately rushing towards the Taiping troops who seemed to them to be too frightened to move.
The Southern Barbarians relied on firearms to strengthen their courage when they fought, but the Southern Barbarians' firearms were not used at all, as long as they were fired, they became no different from burning sticks, not to mention that the Southern Barbarians on the opposite side had no firearms at all! They're waiting to die!
Almost every Qing soldier who charged was thinking the same thing, that is, as long as they rushed in front of those Taiping soldiers, after that, they could happily harvest the heads of the people on the opposite side.
No one thought they would fail, because that couldn't be!
The demons are coming, the demons are coming, their horses are so tall and big. The horses trembled the ground...
The Taiping sergeants who had never fought with cavalry were all nervous, and it was impossible for them not to be afraid, from Zhou Shixiang to ordinary soldiers, everyone's nerves were tense, and there was no trace of blood on their almost rigid faces, and the instinct to survive made him hold the weapons in his hands tightly.
But they have no way out, and behind them are their parents, wives and children!
"Fight with the clear demon of the dog day, fight with the clear demon of the dog day..."
Xinhui messenger Huang Si's teeth shook up and down so much that he didn't dare to close his mouth. You can only open it wide, so that your tongue will not be bitten.
Huang Si was a tribesman brought by Huang Zhizheng from his hometown after the Taiping army broke through Xinhui, Huang Zhizheng committed suicide by setting fire to the county ya, Huang Si did not escape and became a prisoner of the Taiping army, and then was escorted to build the city wall. When the Qing army attacked the city, the Taiping army supplemented their group of errands with the captured Qing soldiers because of the lack of manpower. Stuck for a few months. At the beginning, three of the dozen errands of the Xinhui County Ya survived, and Huang Si was one of them, and now he was also promoted to the flag head because of the death of the previous small flag head, and he can be regarded as an officer of the Taiping Army.
Huang Si is a new meeting with Huang Zhizheng alone. In the past two years, he has earned money and only eaten, drank, prostituted and gambled, and he has not saved a penny, let alone married a wife and had children, so there is no one he cares about in Xinhui City behind him. But perhaps the Qing army did too much evil in the city last year. So much so that the bachelor Huang Si couldn't see the new meeting break again, so although he was very scared, he still stood there firmly holding the long pole. I kept thinking about fighting with the Qing Demon.
In the ranks of the Taiping Army, there are too few lonely people like Huang Si, after all, the Taiping Army came all the way to coerce them, men went to the front camp to serve as soldiers, and women and children went to the back camp to live, so too many Taiping soldiers had to fight.
The older and the younger think about the same thing - when I die, who will send my father and mother to death; I died, who fed my wife and children.
I can't die, I absolutely can't die, I want to live, I can't let my parents, wives and children call the demon scourge!
Come on, the Qing demon of the dog day, Lao Tzu will pull a cushion even if he dies!
No one wants to die!
In this era, national righteousness is bullshit, the country's theory is even more ethereal, and the only reality is home!
The home is greater than everything, and the interests of the family are greater than everything!
What is Home? Where parents, wives and children are, home is home! The Taiping Army is home!
Zhou Shixiang never told his subordinates any big truths, any nation-state, when the incident started, he told the gang in Daqiao Mountain that he took them to make a fortune and to be a big official! Now, he tells his subordinates to live, not for others, but for himself, for his parents, for his wife and children!
Only when there is a home can there be a country, and if there is no home, there is no country. People live for the sake of the family first, and the country second. If you can't fight for your loved ones, then why fight for your country!
Soldiers are also human beings, if they are people, they will have a home, if they are people, they will miss home, and they will have fathers and mothers, wives and children at home! So for their sake, it is necessary to live! If you want to survive, you must fight to the death!
Coward, you deserve to be ruined!
And only by living can you get rich, become an official, eat a full meal, and let your wife and children live a peaceful life!
………
The charge of hundreds of cavalry was like thunder on the flat ground, and the sound of hooves made the Taiping army in front of them feel depressed. This is the innate fear of the infantry in the face of the cavalry, and there is no way to defuse it!
The Qing army is getting closer and clearer.
The cavalry from above, rushing towards him with a hideous gaze.
Two hundred steps, one hundred steps, sixty steps, thirty steps...
The Qing army is getting closer and closer, and the hearts of the people are about to jump out of their throats.
"Don't be afraid, don't move, listen to me!"
Zhou Shixiang shouted again, his right hand holding the long knife tightly, but his left hand pressed a pale and trembling soldier.
"The demon is here!"
The Qing army on the opposite side finally rushed over, and they divided into three groups, one of which went straight to the guard camp. They turned a blind eye to the defensive circle formed by the large frame of the Guards Battalion, and rushed straight forward without frowning.
Finally, Zhou Shixiang shouted at the top of his voice: "Take the long pole, give it to me!" ”
After a tormented wait, the soldiers waited for the order of Senhe-sama.
In an instant, the soldiers in the outer circle who held the long poles in their hands raised their long poles, and the sharpened heads of the sticks pointed directly at the swarming cavalry.
"Something!"
The sudden appearance of the sharp wood made the Qing soldiers who rushed to the front look stunned, but the stunned quickly disappeared, looking at the sharpened wood, they seemed to understand something, and their faces turned white instantly.
But it was too late.
"Phew!"
The Qing soldiers, who knew how powerful they were, fought their horses one after another, and they wanted to avoid the sharp logs. However, just like the arrow on the bow, I have to make a truth, at this moment, they have no room for detours, let alone time.
Zeng Shicheng's face was ugly dark, he was not a fool, he knew what kind of damage those suddenly erected long pointed logs would cause to his war horse.
Damn Nanban, what a cunning!
"Retreat, retreat!"
No matter how brave Zeng Shicheng is, he will not be so stupid that he wants to die, he shouted in fright, desperately holding the reins of the horse, but everything he did was in vain. All he could do was watch as his mount landed headlong on the glowing log and fell parabolically behind the frame.
War horses are spiritual animals and have survival instincts.
Like a sudden brake, several horses stopped moving forward, but their whole bodies continued to rush forward, crashing into the tip of death impartially.
There was a war horse that broke its front leg directly because it stopped too quickly, and fell to the ground with its head. The Qing soldiers on the horse were thrown into the defense line of the Taiping army, slammed into the ground, and bled to death.
In the burst of "pop" sound, soon more than a dozen war horses were directly pierced by the Taiping army's sharp wood, and the horse's blood spurted out like a ruptured human artery, splashing on the faces of the Taiping soldiers, fishy and hot.
The mournful roar of the horses resounded over the battlefield, and the knights on the horses were thrown to the ground by inertia, and before they could get up, they were trampled into mud by the hooves of their companions behind them.
There was a mess in front of the guard battalion's large car circle defense line, and dozens of Shang family soldiers were directly reimbursed for the war horses that were directly stabbed through in front and the Qing soldiers who collided with their companions in the back. Their carcasses, along with their horses, blocked the path of their companions behind.
Can't advance, can't retreat, chaos. (To be continued.) )
