All kinds of indications show that the cannon just now must have hit an important figure in the Taiping army, otherwise, the Taiping army would not be as chaotic as a rout. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The Qing army in the city could see it clearly, and the original invincible Taiping Kou was simply a big rout, so that they didn't even want the hundreds of full soldier heads they had just cut off.

Faintly, Shunzhi seemed to hear Taiping Kou's cry. The cry was far away, and it would be difficult to hear it clearly unless you listened carefully.

What makes a thief cry? Could it be that he hit the thief Xiucai!

Shunzhi trembled, trembling with ecstasy: Taizu Taizong blesses, it must be the thief Xiucai who hits, it must be him!

"The thief Xiucai was hit, the thief Xiucai was hit!"

Ao Bai saw the score in the city, whether he hit the thief Xiucai or not, he had to sit down on this matter. He shouted loudly and fired the cannon, and the Han gunners in the city immediately fired a fierce bombardment. In the sound of artillery, the Taiping army has withdrawn far away, and was not hit by the cannon at all, but the sound of artillery fire has greatly boosted the morale of the Qing army.

Cai Shiying was also excited, for some reason, he thought of Yuan Chonghuan's Shangshu to the Ming court more than thirty years ago, and it was mentioned that the Ming army hit Emperor Taizu with a cannon, which led to Ning Yuan's victory...

Phew, how can the thief Xiucai compare with Emperor Taizu, is he worthy!

Cai Shiying looked at the retreating Taiping Kou with disdain, perhaps, he is witnessing history now.

The Han gunners who operated the cannon only knew that they must have hit, because the golden banner in the Taiping army fell, but they didn't really kill the thief leader and thief Xiucai with one shot, so they didn't dare to be sure. But the Manchurian officials were shouting and hitting the thief Xiucai, and they couldn't help but believe it, so they also shouted. The more you shout, the happier and more excited you become, killing the thief is a great achievement, and it is in front of the emperor!

A gunner excitedly held the general's cannon with both hands, not caring about the burning on it at all, he couldn't wait to kiss the general with his mouth, because the general would bring him glory and wealth.

Those Han generals who were frightened by the Taiping army and shaken by what the big banner said before, this will also change their attitude one by one, shouting hoarsely, and almost running to the emperor to dance.

The thief Xiucai was killed, and at the head of Yangzhou City, everyone thought so, even if they didn't think so in their hearts, they would be very excited to tell their colleagues around him what he saw after the shot.

"Your Majesty, God bless the Qing Dynasty!"

Ao Bai and Sonny knelt down first, followed by countless civil and military officers knelt down, and people congratulated the emperor in unison.

"Good, good, good!"

Shunzhi said three "good" words in a row, at this time, he no longer knew what words to use to express his inner excitement, and his tense and almost numb face was finally soothed and loosened, rippling with an incomparable smile.

Dragon's face is happy!

.......

Zhou Shixiang was indeed hit, and he never dreamed that he would be shelled, because his position was three or four miles away from the city wall. According to his understanding of the Qing army's artillery, he never thought that he was within the firing range. The fact happened, a solid big iron bullet roared from Yangzhou City, and landed a few feet in front of him, and the iron bullet jumped from the ground and smashed the big green horse that had been with him for several years, and he was also thrown off the horse, and there was a pain in the right leg bone on the spot. He knew that his leg was broken, and what was worse was that the corpse of the big green horse smashed on his body, staining him with blood, and he looked like a bloody man. The big green horse was very heavy, and the moment he fell on his body, Zhou Shixiang only felt that the whole person was going to be crushed to death, unable to breathe, and about to suffocate to death.

The big green horse had not yet lost its breath, its eyes were still open, and it was full of pain. The horse is spiritual, its body is twitching, but its eyes are looking at its owner, who is being pressed by itself. After several years of companionship, there has been a connection between it and Zhou Shixiang, a kind of emotional channeling. It seems to blame itself because it holds down its owner.

Zhou Shixiang couldn't move from the chest down, he wiped the horse blood on his face, and saw Da Qingma's painful and helpless eyes with a trace of self-blame, at that moment, his heart was very painful, just like returning to Xinhui a few years ago, back to the scene where his parents, wife and children died tragically.

The big green horse couldn't make a sound, the blood kept flowing out of its mouth, it refused to close its eyes, it only looked at its master.

I haven't even given you a name...

Zhou Shixiang struggled to raise his hand to touch the face of the big green horse, feeling the pain before it died, until the temperature of his palm dropped little by little.

The noise around him seemed to disappear, and Zhou Shixiang's eyes only had a big green horse.

Not far away, a broken golden banner fell on a corpse in the wind, covering the soldier entirely.

......

"Dashuai, Dashuai!"

The blind man Li was so shocked by the scene in front of him that his soul was about to fly, he didn't even want a hammer, and rushed forward to find the big handsome. The iron bullet took the lives of more than 20 soldiers of the Taiping Army, and there were corpses on the ground, broken hands and legs, and there was a mess, and it was impossible to see who was who and who was the commander.

The left and near departments also discovered that the commander's banner of the Chinese army had fallen, and some generals immediately rushed on horseback in fear, while others quickly ordered the whole army to retreat.

was in a hurry, the military officer Guo Xiong hurriedly came, he saw the big handsome fall off the horse, he asked the blind man Li Dao with tears on his face: "Where is the big handsome, where is the big handsome?!" ”

"I'm looking for it! ... The handsome man is here! ”

The blind man Li suddenly shouted, and everyone hurriedly looked forward, and sure enough, they saw that the big man was under the horse, and he didn't move. At that moment, Guo Xiong and the others were stunned, they instinctively thought that the handsome man was dead!

The blind man Li didn't believe that Dashuai would die, he cried: "Dashuai! He rushed forward and pushed the corpse of the big green horse to the side.

After the horse's corpse was removed, the blind man Li heard a familiar voice: "I'm fine, help me up!"

Zhou Shixiang gritted his teeth and endured the great pain in his leg bones, and motioned to the blind man Li to help him up. He saw the chaos around him, and the sound of the call to withdraw his troops, and his eyes were full of worry on the faces of the generals and guards.

With the support of the blind man Li, Zhou Shixiang stood on one leg, he looked at the city of Yangzhou with hatred, he couldn't blame the generals for withdrawing their troops without authorization, because they didn't know what happened to him here.

"Withdraw!"

Zhou Shixiang gritted his teeth and ordered Guo Xiong to organize the whole army to retreat, but the huge pain made his forehead full of sweat, and it also made him unable to speak.

"Withdraw... Withdraw to Guazhou, but you can't cross the river, you can't cross the river! ”

After speaking, Zhou Shixiang fainted.
