Chapter 55: The Thief Shows His Talent
Before Boss Hu died, he was not talking about the Tartar, but the old lady, the old lady who gave birth to him and raised him.
Slowly, the figure of the old lady became more and more blurred in Boss Hu's mind, until he was gone, and there was no light in his sight.
An armored soldier excitedly carried the head of Boss Hu in his hands, and then raised the demonstrative face of the Ming army, shouting with the greatest strength in his life: "The thief will be dead, wait for the rapid descent!" The thief will be dead, wait for the rappel! ”
"Big brother!"
Ge Wu shouted, fell to his knees, and kept hitting his head on the ground while crying.
"Big brother!"
The bald man burst into tears and kept beating his chest with his fist. Peng Dazhu and several Wu Commanders looked at Boss Hu as if they were stunned, their eyes full of despair.
The general is dead?
A group of Luo Ding recruits looked at the head of Boss Hu who was held in the air by the Qing soldiers, and looked at each other, and then everyone trembled, the hand holding the knife couldn't help shaking, and the legs and feet trembled involuntarily.
The Jiangxi soldiers in the back also panicked when they heard the movement in front of them: Okay, why did the master ask people to kill them!
"My lord, what are we going to do! The main general will call people to kill, those recruits are afraid, they can't be defeated, let's run! A Jiangxi soldier ran to Shao Jiugong without a master, because he was too scared, his voice was crying.
"My lord, let's run!"
The rest of the Jiangxi soldiers also retreated, the main generals were slaughtered, this battle was still a ball, while the Qing army did not pounce, it is better to run quickly!
"Run?!"
Shao Jiugong looked at Hu Quan's head in front of him, who was held in the air by the Qing soldiers, with a sad smile on his face, and said, "Run?" Where to run? ”
The soldier who was the first to shout to run hurriedly said: "You can run anywhere, you can't wait here to die anyway!" Before the words fell, Shao Jiugong slapped him over, and the sound of "horn" made his eyes glow.
"Your Excellency?"
The soldier covered half of his face and looked at Shao Jiugong with a frightened expression, not knowing why he wanted to beat himself.
Shao Jiugong's face turned pale, he glanced at all the Jiangxi soldiers, gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone else can run, but we can't run!" Don't forget, those words on our backs have cut off our path, and with those words, it's useless for us to run anywhere! If you want to live, you can only fight with the Qing army, even if you die, you have to pull these Deqing's turtle sons on their backs! ”
"We are not working hard for the Ming army, we are working hard for ourselves! If you want to run, you run, Lao Tzu won't run anyway! Zhang Mazi is such a person, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that he turned the sky upside down! If you have eggs, follow me! ”
After Shao Jiugong finished speaking, he almost roared and rushed forward. Seeing this, those Jiangxi soldiers hesitated for a while, and they all followed hard. Shao Jiugong is right, except for defeating the Qing army, they have no other way to live!
"The thief is going to die, the thief is going to die!"
The group of green battalion soldiers kneeling on the ground jumped up from the ground one by one with cheers, and went to pick up the discarded weapons.
Once these green battalion soldiers who had surrendered got their weapons, it would undoubtedly be even worse for the Taiping battalion that the Lord would kill.
At the last moment, Zhou Shixiang rushed down the hillside, cut down a green battalion soldier who raised a knife to resist, and then cut off the arm of a green battalion soldier who had just picked up a spear, and in his scream, he yelled at the green battalion soldiers who were about to move: "Death to those who dare to move!" ”
"Death to those who dare to move!"
Several army commanders who reacted also rushed down with people, holding knives and guns to force the green battalions who got up to kneel. Faced with the long knife that would be cut at any time, the green battalion soldiers in front of them were unwilling to kneel down again. The green battalion soldiers behind saw that there were not many of them, but they were eager to get up and resist, but before they could get up, there was a shout of killing from the Ming army, but it was Shao Jiugong who rushed up with the Jiangxi soldiers.
The green battalion soldiers fled, and many people didn't know where their weapons were thrown, and few people could pick up their weapons, and they knelt on the ground for half a mile, so they couldn't form an organized resistance at all.
After Shao Jiugong brought the Jiangxi soldiers over, he killed more than a dozen green battalion soldiers who picked up knives and guns, so that the green battalion soldiers were bare-handed, and the most important thing was that they did not have a leader, and they all hoped that others could take the lead, and the result was that they had no choice but to kneel down under the threat of the Ming army. When they knelt down, a pair of eyes stared at the front, hoping that the garrison would come back with troops to save them.
After shocking those surrendered green battalion soldiers not to act rashly, Zhou Shixiang left half of his men to let them watch the green battalion soldiers, and collected all the weapons on the ground, so as not to counterattack the green battalion soldiers, and then rushed to the front with the remaining more than 20 people, but it was dozens of Luoding recruits who were fleeing.
"The one who retreats is slashed!"
Seeing that the recruits didn't obey the order and ran back, without saying a word, he slashed to death the nearest recruit, and then yelled viciously at the frightened recruits: "It's all with the system!" If you want your wives and children to die, run away, and if you don't want to, fight with the Tartars! ”
"Retreat to the latter!"
Shao Jiugong, who caught up, also roared when he saw this, and under the pressure of the people and the Jiangxi soldiers, Luo Ding's recruits had no choice but to turn around and follow Zhou Shixiang to rush back.
Some of the Luo Dingbing soldiers have realized that if they lose this battle, the relatives who stay in Luoding will definitely not end well, and for the sake of their relatives, they have no way to escape, so they can only fight with the Qing army.
Song Erniu is one of them, he is also afraid, but he can only bite the bullet if he is afraid, otherwise, the Qing army will definitely kill his mother-in-law, his mother-in-law and children, and the only remaining blood of the eldest brother will also be killed. If that's the case, how can he be worthy of his mother-in-law, and how can he meet the eldest brother under Jiuquan.
"Kill the Tartars!"
Song Erniu's heart was "fluttering" and beating, his whole face couldn't be pumped as if he was numb, and his hands holding the banner were like holding a thousand catties of boulders, holding them firmly, for fear that he would be crushed to death by the boulder as soon as he let go.
"Brothers, avenge Brother Hu and kill all the dog Tartars!"
Seeing Zhou Shixiang appear, Ge Wu and Bald Man suddenly had a backbone, and they all stopped, waved their knives and shouted and rushed towards the Qing soldiers.
Although the death of Boss Hu greatly boosted the morale of the Qing army and lowered the morale of the Ming army, the Qing army was actually at the end of its strength, and there was not much strength under the blow, and if the Ming army collapsed at this time, they would not even chase after it, because they were too tired.
The appearance of Zhou Shixiang gave the demoralized Ming army a backbone, although the morale was not aroused by this, but as long as the originally defeated Ming army turned back again, it was a huge pressure on those armored soldiers.
Both sides are on the edge of the cliff, and it depends on what is the last straw that crushes, or rather, who can survive to the end.
"What a thief!"
Seeing that Zhou Shixiang actually led his troops to rush up, and killed several of his own soldiers, Zhang Dade opened his eyes angrily, ignoring Tang Sanshui's dissuasion, and carried his big knife to meet him.
Tang Sanshui hesitated for a while, but still stomped on his feet and rushed forward with Zhang Dade. In his opinion, although his own side is almost out of strength, the Ming army on the opposite side is also the end of the crossbow, as long as he kills the leading thief Xiucai, this battle will be won. The risk is a little dangerous, but it is worth fighting!
I knew that the Ming army was so many, and I should have brought all the soldiers out just now!
When the battle came to this, Zhang Dade had already seen that the Taiping Battalion under the banner of the Ming Army was not an elite division, and the number of people was not much more than himself, not even a few pieces of cotton armor, and the gang of soldiers was a new chick who couldn't even use knives and guns, and it was obvious that it was a rabble that had been put together temporarily, and it would not take much, as long as dozens of new troops joined in, these recruits would definitely collapse completely.
But it's useless to regret it, the thief Xiucai has already led the defeated Ming army to rush up, if you don't kill this person, the Ming army won't retreat!
Thief Xiucai, kill you, Lao Tzu is a guerrilla adult!
Zhang Dade's eyes were red, and he didn't even bother to pay attention to where his old enemy Shao Jiugong was, he only had Zhou Shixiang in his eyes, and he had already rushed to the front when he wanted to capture and kill Zhou Shixiang.
"Kill!"
With the roar, the big knife in his hand was already raised.
"Kill!"
Zhou Shixiang also shouted, the long knife was also slammed down, and Zhang Dade slashed with the big knife, "Bang", sparks flashed, and both of them took a step back, and the tiger's mouth was painful, and they were all frightened.
Zhou Shixiang was moved: What a lot of strength!
Zhang Dade's face also changed greatly: How can this thief show his skills be so good?
When the two of them were stunned for a moment, the soldiers on both sides were already killed together, shouting and scolding, and from time to time severed arms and stumps fell beside them.
There are no less than 100 soldiers on both sides of the Ming and Qing dynasties who collided together, and the strength is still superior to the Taiping camp, in the previous battle, Zhang Dade's personal soldiers have killed 123 people, and the remaining 20 people will not even have the strength to run.
From time to time, soldiers on both sides were stabbed and shot, screams came and went, and no less than a few people rolled together in each other's arms.
"Stoned you dog, stoned you dog!"
A Luo Dingbing went crazy and smashed a stone in the face of a Qing soldier who had already swallowed his breath, only to be blurred with flesh and blood, and Bai Gu Sen still refused to let go, but he was frightened by the scene of this dead man and went crazy.
"Die!"
Song Erniu waved a long banner and swept an armored soldier to the ground, the other party did not have the strength to get up, so he sat there panting while waving the long knife in his hand and slashed the back ankle of a Ming soldier who was overlooked, cutting off the hamstrings of the Ming army, and the pain was so painful that the scream of "ahhhhh
Song Erniu, who was covered in blood on his body, mouth, and face, didn't know where his ruthlessness came from, and when he saw this, he actually took the banner and plunged it directly into the Qing soldier.
The Qing soldier was wearing a layer of cotton armor, and when he saw that the other party actually inserted a flagpole into himself, he couldn't help grinning and wanted to laugh sarcastically, but his chest hurt, and the flagpole actually penetrated the cotton armor and entered his heart.
"Ugh!"
The soldier couldn't believe it, grabbed the flagpole fiercely and wanted to pull it out, but he couldn't pull it out, and in his sight, the Ming army looked at him blankly like a fool.
After two of his companions were killed by the Qing soldiers, a Luo Dingbing stabbed the Qing soldier in the back with a spear in his hand, and he was too excited to drop the pikeman and dance: "I killed the Tartar, I killed the Tartar!" ”
He had only time to scream twice before he could make another sound, for the back of his neck was cold, and a column of blood was spurting.
After cutting off this fool-like screaming Ming army, the Qing soldiers glanced at the guy's face contemptuously, and scolded secretly: Recruit baby!
Carrying the knife, he staggered and tried to turn around, but his neck hurt as well, and he staggered forward.
Shao Jiugong's Jiangxi soldiers stabilized the Ming army in this hand-to-hand battle, and with the advantage of numbers, the Qing army was wiped out little by little, and the ground was full of corpses.
The Ming army gradually surrounded a Qing soldier with two or three people, and the Qing army, which had no backup and no strength, could only resist in vain, some people wanted to run, but their legs and feet could no longer run.
Tang Sanshui saw that the situation was not good, and he was so anxious that he wanted to pull back the garrison lord, but in his sight, the garrison lord was still fighting with the thief Xiucai.
Zhou Shi is better than his body, but Zhang Dade is better than his strength, and after a few rounds, the two are not superior. But the mentality of the two at this time is very different, Zhang Dade is anxious, Zhou Shixiang is calm, only use his eyes to see, he also knows that the balance of victory has turned to the Taiping camp, as long as he, the backbone of the backbone, does not die, the Qing army will not want to turn the situation back!
At this time, a Qing army archer shot an arrow at Zhou Shixiang, the arrow grazed Zhou Shixiang's cheek, Zhou Shixiang was startled and turned sideways to avoid, where Zhang Dade's knife had been cut to the left waist, Zhou Shixiang raised the knife to block, but his feet slipped but fell to the ground.
"Lord Domination!"
Seeing Zhou Shixiang fall to the ground, Shao Jiugong jumped "popped", Zhou Shixiang can't have any more accidents at this juncture, otherwise the gods won't be able to save the Taiping Camp!
Shao Jiugong, who was anxious to save people, rushed forward with a shout, Zhang Dade had to open his hair, and he didn't look at Shao Jiugong, he only slashed at Zhou Shixiang with a knife, but there was something in front of him, and after a huge pain, his vision suddenly blurred. But it was a Luo Dingbing who saw that the ruler was in danger, so he touched a handful of stones and smashed them at Zhang Dade. One of the stones hit Zhang Dade's brow, and a big hole was smashed out, and blood and sweat beads flowed down, so pickled that Zhang Dade couldn't open his eyes.
Seeing this, Zhou Shixiang turned over and jumped up with a harrier, and with a wave of his right hand with a knife, he slashed at Zhang Dade's right cheek, cutting out a large piece of belt meat.
"Thief Xiucai!"
Zhang Dade was in pain, rolling on the ground with his face in his arms, Shao Jiugong stepped forward and made up for it, and instantly broke off this old enemy.
Just as the death of Boss Hu made the Taiping Camp lose its fighting spirit, Zhang Dade's death also made the Qing soldiers who were fighting with the Ming army chaotic, several armored soldiers were slightly distracted, and several knives were cut at the same time, and the corpses were divided in the blink of an eye.
"No fight, no fight"
An armored Qing soldier who really didn't have the strength to fight anymore sat down on the ground, didn't care about anything, didn't care about anything, just gasped for breath.
After Zhang Dade's death, Tang Sanshui wanted to run, but was caught by Ge Wu, and brought him to Zhou Shixiang like a rabbit, without waiting for the other party to say anything, he lay on the ground and hit his head on the ground and begged: "Don't kill me, don't kill me!" ”
Zhou Shixiang was also so tired that he couldn't stand still, so he waved his hand at Tang Sanshui and said to him: "I won't kill you, you tell them to surrender." ”
"Good, good!"
Tang Sanshui stood up from the ground without saying a word, and then shouted at the Qing soldiers who were still resisting, asking them to lay down their weapons and surrender.
There are more than 40 remaining Qing soldiers, there are 17 or 8 armored soldiers, many of them are wounded, and they don't want to fight anymore, after listening to the shouts of Qianzong, and seeing that the garrison is dead, they know that there is no point in fighting any longer, so they have dropped their knives and guns, and then sat down on the ground, and let the Ming army pick up their own knives and guns, and take off their cotton armor
