Chapter 863: Capture the Flag

"Rush up, rush up!"

Seeing that some soldiers were afraid of the Taiping army's firearms retreating, Tong Guowei supervised the battle again and again, urging them to step forward. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info so many people died, he didn't want to give up halfway.

Among the Han army, there is also a leader of the gun, which will also shoot at the Taiping army with the gun. The white smoke filled in front of the two sides, and the Ming and Qing dynasties in the middle could only estimate the existence of the opponent by feeling, and some people couldn't open their eyes directly.

Guo Zhengxiao, the commander of the Han army, was hit by the big pole of the Taiping army, he fell from his horse and rolled to the ground, and was about to rush forward with a knife, when an explosion was heard in his ear, and an iron nail flew into his left eye, so painful that he covered his eyes and screamed there again and again.

When the Fifth Town was formed, it was the C Brigade transferred from the Second Town, and the Fifth Town was expanded on the basis of the C Brigade. Half of the dozens of descendants of the Zhejiang Army who fled south of Zhejiang to Guangdong with Yu Shizhong served in the C Brigade. The A and B Second Brigades are mostly the Green Battalion and the Chaozhou Young Strong, and the two brigades have also suffered casualties until now, and now the C Brigade has become the last force of the Fifth Town.

The earth-shaking thunders distributed to the fifth town were almost exhausted, and after Li Kuangming ordered the last dozens of earth-shaking thunders to be thrown, thousands of soldiers roared and rushed towards the Han army, and they fought to the death with the Qing army in Zhuangkou, which was less than half a mile.

With the sound of explosions and guns, lead and iron nails flew in all directions, Tong Guowei couldn't stop it at all, and the killed people retreated again and again. The frightened horses also messed up the village into a pot of porridge, those infantry were lucky, the fast runners could pick up a life with their legs, but those cavalry fell into bad luck, many cavalry did not call the Taiping army to death, but were thrown off the back of their horses, and then trampled to death by the infantry who rushed back.

"Onward!"

In the neighing of people and horses, there was a shout from the formation of less than a thousand people of the Taiping army, and then the shouts became more and more, and finally turned into a shout of Qiqi.

"Onward!"

The wounded Yu Youming also held the spear in his hand tightly, and by his side was Wang Guotai, and then a suona hand who lost his suona.

Tong Guowei retreated under the protection of his own soldiers, looking at the Taiping troops who were pressing over, his brows were already wrinkled.

The voice of "forward" is getting louder and louder, looking at less than a thousand people, but listening to it is like ten thousand people shouting together. This sound overshadowed all the sounds on the battlefield, so that the Qing troops who were storming in Daijiazhuang in several other directions were alarmed.

Tong Guowei's war horse was a little restless, and he gathered less than 300 remnants, of which only a few dozen cavalry horses. This casualty is even greater than the Gangatai Department that he looks down on. None of the Han soldiers dared to come forward to meet the battle, they just wanted to run back, and run as far as possible. The momentum of that chorus of "forward" had broken their morale, and they didn't even want to stay where the damn was.

"My lord, retreat!"

The one who asked Tong Guowei to order the retreat was the staff leader Mandahu, who was the same as Gang Atai and others, a general who was obviously a Han but took the name of Manchu. Manda Tiger is nearly forty years old, and he is also a brave general, who fought the Great Western Army in Hunan with Nikan, after Nikan's death, he and those Manchurian soldiers were not afraid to hesitate when facing the Great Western Army several times their own, but now in the face of a Taiping army of less than 1,000 people, he was afraid, and had the idea of fleeing for his life. However, the Qing Dynasty's military law was strict, and before the main general Tong Guowei did not order the evacuation, there was only a dead end for those who fled without authorization, so he had to consult Tong Guowei's opinion.

Tong Guowei, who was sitting on the horse, didn't seem to hear Man Dahu's words, he only stared blankly at the Taiping army that was pressing over. In the sight, from time to time, the Qing army that did not withdraw was rotted by the Taiping army's wolf constitution, and some were injured and had no time to withdraw the Qing army, knowing that they had no reason to live, so they took their bows and arrows, and wanted to shoot one or two southern barbarians on their backs, but as soon as their bows were picked up, they were beaten into a hornet's nest by the Taiping army's firearms. is such a force of less than 1,000 soldiers and horses, all the way to crush, all the way to slaughter.

When they saw the Han army and the green battalion that fell to the ground, when they saw the Han army that had already withdrawn from Lixuyuan, they clearly realized that they would never be able to stop this Taiping army. The speed of the movement is much more agile than that of the Han army.

After another bang, Tong Guowei woke up, it was very cold, but he was sweating profusely.

"Stand down, quick!"

Tong Guowei used a speed that was not weaker than that of the Mongolian soldiers, and simply turned around and fled. There was no need to shout the order to flee, and none of the Han troops under his command who had long wanted to withdraw ran slower than their companions.

More than three miles away, Gang Atai was a little gloating. Earlier, when he saw Tong Guowei leading the Han army up, what he thought in his heart was not that Tong Guowei was a good man and a righteous man, and hoped that Tong Guowei would solve this Taiping army, but that he would die in the hands of the Taiping army. Now, God pays off, and Tong Guowei's defeat makes Gang Atai very satisfied. When you fight, you are not afraid of losing the war, but you are afraid that others will fight better than you. The law does not blame the public, the big guys have been defeated, Chang Adai and the emperor will not be able to clean up everyone. More importantly, if Tong Guowei can't be a hero, his Tong family will never be able to cover the Li family.

Meng Xiongbi, the general soldier of Henan, still supervised his subordinates to storm Daijiazhuang under the coercion of the Manchurian soldiers, and he looked up at the sky and found that the sun was still shining in the sky. This vicious battle that killed an unknown number of people was really surprised and surprised that it had only lasted so long. I think back then, during the Battle of Matsuyama, I am afraid it was not so difficult.

Chang Adai heard the chorus of the north just now, but he didn't think that the Taiping army would turn around, and he didn't know that Tong Guowei and Gang Atai had been defeated by the Taiping army like a dog, he only knew that he was about to attack Daijiazhuang. He pressed all the Manchurian disciples of the Yellow Banner up, and victory was on the last line.

Meng Xiongbi and Esen and others all received strict orders from Chang Adai, and they were only allowed to advance and not retreat. What can Meng Xiongbi say, he can only grit his teeth and rush to the forefront with his own soldiers, no matter what, he can't live up to Dorobelle's high hopes.

The Taiping army in Daijiazhuang was only a few hundred people, and at this moment, under the command of the town general Shizhong, they were constantly fighting with the Qing army that rushed in. The Qing army, which advanced from both east and west directions, finally attacked Daijiazhuang, and the mud walls on the edge of the village were full of corpses and blood. The houses behind the walls were also in shambles, some of the houses were set on fire by the Qing soldiers because they contained the Taiping army's desperate resistance, and from time to time the Taiping soldiers who were on fire ran out of the house, and then rolled on the ground, screaming miserably.

"Cut down that flag!"

After Meng Xiongbi broke into the Zhuangzi, he found that a large flag embroidered with the word "Qi" appeared in the village from time to time. Every time that banner appeared in his sight, dozens to hundreds of Taiping troops would be regrouped under its banner.

Meng Xiongbi was sure that the military flag was the general flag of the Taiping army, and as long as this military flag was cut down, the Taiping army in Daijiazhuang would collapse. What excited him even more was that he found out that there was a high-ranking general of the Taiping Army under that banner. Although I am not sure whether this person is the chief general of this Taiping army, this person has always been under the banner of this army, and most of the officials are not small.

"Give it all to me!"

Meng Xiongbi excitedly waved his knife forward, ready to go to capture the flag in person, but the soldiers beside him heard several "bangs" coming from a room. The room was less than three feet away from the Commander-in-Chief. Meng Xiongbi, who was holding the long knife high, felt that something was wrong with his body, and he wanted to look down, but the neck guard of the leather pocket and pointed helmet made him unable to bend his neck. There was a pain in his chest, and his whole body was like a loss of strength, and the right arm that raised the knife softened suddenly, and with a "bang", the long knife fell to the ground, and then the Henan soldiers saw the body of the chief soldier loading down towards a pile of bricks in front of him.

"Hit!"

Several soldiers of the Taiping Army cheered excitedly in that room.

I fell while driving the battery car, and the oily skin on my left palm and wrist was scratched, and I was covered with medicine and gauze. Reluctantly typing a chapter out, it's not lazy, it's just that it's inconvenient to type, but it's going to get used to it slowly. Today is only one more, tomorrow I will strive for noon code words, more more. (To be continued.) )
