The cavalry battalion of the Taiping army launched an attack on the Qing army's horses, and they did not have any armor on them, but only held their long knives diagonally and slaughtered the horses in Manchuria.

Shao Chengguo rushed to the front, his eyes wide open, he rushed out of the smoke of gunpowder, and slashed the head of a Manchurian soldier who had been shot in the abdomen with an iron nail.

At the same time, the various squads of the Taiping army also went to those Manchurian horses to kill, and the shouts of killing came from all over the place, which made the Qing army brigade all alarmed, they stood on their horses, looking at the front of the shouting and killing, everyone was solemn.

The Qing army's probe soldiers are all Hahamu's own soldiers, many of them are veterans of about forty, all of them are fierce soldiers, much stronger than the young Manchurian soldiers behind, each of them has a riding bow in their hands, on both sides of the saddle, hanging three or four bags of arrows, in the face of the sudden blow of the Taiping army, they quickly stabilized their position after panicking, so that the Taiping army did not have much upper hand.

……

The dawn was filled with fog on both sides of the Huangsha River, and in the morning fog, groups of Taiping troops stepped ashore from their boats. After coming ashore, the battalions of the Taiping Army haunted the morning fog, opened their voices, and controlled the east bank of the Huangsha River. A few miles away in Shenwan, small detachments of the Taiping Army were cautiously surveying the terrain.

The water of the Huangsha River did not stop there, but continued to flow downward. All the morning mist loomed in the surrounding area, and there was no sound. The people in the villages and towns near Sanxiang had already evacuated, and the sky over Shenwan was even quieter, only a few startled birds suddenly flew out. The empty tidal flats are waiting for the upcoming war, and they are also waiting to swallow up countless lives.

Ge Yi fastened the belt of his trousers fiercely. jumped ashore and shouted to Zhou Shixiang on the boat: "Xiucai, brother, I'm going, brother, I don't have a son." If I die, our brother's share will be all given to Xiucai. ”

"I'm not greedy for your share, after this battle is over, I will give you your share of the two brothers immediately." Zhou Shixiang on the boat shook his head at Ge Yi.

Ge Yi thought for a while and grinned: "It's okay, if I don't die, I won't be in a hurry to redeem it." My brother's share has to be given to me first, and you have sold your life for so long with Xiucai, and there is no credit and hard work. It's time to enjoy it. ”

"Done."

Zhou Shixiang heartily agreed.

Ge Yi laughed, hugged his fist at Zhou Shixiang, waved his hand, and disappeared into the morning mist with Jiang Fan.

Witness Ge Yi disappear into the morning mist. Zhou Shixiang, who thought he was mentally prepared, suddenly felt. His heart is still drumming.

Life and death have been put aside since the day of the tragic death of parents, wives and children.

Life and death, since I know that since I came to this era, it is no longer important.

Life and death, since he decided to be a real son of the Han family, it is not his concern at all, what he cares about is whether he can succeed.

Whether it can be done. It's up to you!

It's the real showdown!

The decisive battle that decided the fate of the Taiping Army and also the fate of Guangdong.

The big war is imminent. The big battle is coming!

Zhou Shixiang's blood was burning, and he felt that his whole body was very hot.

"Let's go, I'll leave it to Ge Yi and Tie Yi here, drive the boat, blind man, let's go to Shenwan!"

"Hey!"

The blind man Li replied heavily, and carried the hammer that he slept without leaving him to the stern of the boat.

………

6,000 soldiers from the left battalion of the infantry army and the right battalion of the infantry army lined up along the east bank of the Huangsha River, and the right battalion of the infantry army had already exchanged hands with the advance of the Qing army.

The fog was too great, coupled with the rainy weather for several days, the guns and arquebuses were affected by moisture, resulting in many guns not being fired, and the terrain on the east bank was narrow, and the fog was so heavy that the guns of the right battalion of the infantry army could not be fully deployed, so they failed to cause much damage to the Qing army. The left battalion of the infantry army also fought with the Qing army, but the exchanges between the two sides were tentative. In the morning mist, both sides of the Ming and Qing dynasties maintained enough caution.

But the morning fog was more favorable to the Qing army, and the Manchurian cavalry that came out of the fog from time to time caught the Taiping army by surprise several times, and the left and right battalions of the infantry were slowly retreating, although they were preparing to retreat, but this feeling of being pressed back by the enemy was not pleasant. Ge Yi jumped like thunder, and several times he wanted to lead his troops to rush up and fight with Tartar, but Jiang Fan hugged him to the death, reminding him to focus on the overall situation.

In the fog, it was impossible to recognize the military flag and order, and the Taiping army could only rely on the sound of suona to command the action, and the sound of suona was urgent and poignant in human ears.

Ha Ha Mu commanded the Qing army to advance step by step, although the situation reported by the Kalai Dao Ka in front showed that his own side had the upper hand, and the Taiping army was being pressed back, but Ha Ha Mu's brows were still wrinkled. He didn't know how many Taiping troops there were on the opposite side, but it was just a small group of soldiers and horses to attack and disturb, or the thieves and thieves came with the main force. If it is the former, Hahamu is not worried at all, and it is driven away; If it was the latter, he would have admired the courage of the thief Xiucai, and at the same time he had to deal with it solemnly.

Intelligence shows that the main force of the Taiping army is no less than 10,000 people, and he only has less than 2,000 Manchurian sons in his hands.

"Go, tell the green battalion behind to follow, there must be no loss in the back road!"

For the sake of prudence, Hahamu sent people to urge the Guangzhou Green Battalion and Li Shutai's supervisors, who were lagging behind, to join the Manchurian soldiers immediately, and not give the Taiping army any opportunity to take advantage of. He was worried that the thief Xiucai's intention was to use a small number of soldiers and horses to contain the most capable Manchurian soldiers here, and to send the main force to attack the green camp behind, cutting off his back road, so that he could not rescue the green camp in time. In other words, he would also adopt this strategy, after all, the Manchurian Eight Banners are not easy to fight.

The contact between the two sides continued, there were casualties on each other, the overall Manchurian cavalry still had the upper hand, and the Taiping army fought and retreated. Kalai Daoga suppressed the rhythm so as not to be dragged too deep by the Taiping army.

After about half an hour, the sun finally rose. The moment the sun shone down, everyone on both sides of the Ming and Qing dynasties felt a burst of warmth coming from their bodies, and they felt in their hearts.

The sun grew stronger and stronger, and a light breeze blew up, blowing away the dense fog that shrouded both sides of the Huangsha River. After the morning fog faded, groups of Qing soldiers appeared all over the east bank of the Huangsha River.

After the morning fog completely dissipated, Ha Ha Mu knew that there were no less than thousands of Taiping troops in front of him, and he judged that the opposite side was the main force of the Taiping army, and their leader Thief Xiucai was definitely among them, putting on such a big formation, obviously wanting to compete with him Ha Ha Mu.

The thief Xiucai is threatening to defeat the Manchurian Eight Banners to scare away Geng Jimao's monk Zhixin, Hahamu laughed, he admired the courage of the thief Xiucai, and also recognized the correctness of his lonely bet, because the truth is very likely to be as he expected, once the Manchurian Eight Banners in the middle are destroyed, Geng Jimao on the left and Shang Zhixin on the right will indeed retreat without a fight.

It's a pity that the thief Xiu thinks highly of himself.

Hahamu calmly ordered, ordered the scouts to disperse and survey the surrounding terrain, so that Kalai Daoga could seize the advantageous terrain, and be sure to annihilate the Taiping army on the east bank of the Huangsha River, and never let them escape to the west bank.

On a high slope, the Manchurian Tanma found a very wide terrain located three miles to the left rear of the Taiping army's array, which was very suitable for cavalry movement.

Hearing the news, Ha Ha Mu also rode his horse to inspect it himself, and then gave the order to attack.

"Get the Taiping Kou over!"

The Manchurian cavalry of the three Niu Lu, under the command of Kalai Daoga, launched an attack on the Taiping army scattered on the east bank, in an attempt to force them into the empty tidal flats.
