"The waterways they walked?"

Zhang Hexiang frowned, people are on the Huai River, they are all cavalry, and they can't compete with others at all, can you let the war horses float on the water to block and even defeat the Taiping army? It's impossible. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Huai River is wide, almost three or four miles long, which is definitely not covered by the range of a rifle!

The distance of fifteen miles, although it is a boat against the current, but the speed of the merchant ship is still not slow, and it will not take long to rush over, and it is only less than a day's distance from here to Huainan City!

Zhang Hexiang was anxious, and on the side, Xiao Jianli, the commander of the cavalry battalion, suddenly said: "Commander, six or seven miles to the west is the Tianzhen Bridge, we can block it on the bridge, as long as the fleet can be stopped, they have no choice but to take the land!" ”

Zhang Hexiang's heart lit up, and he shouted: "Jian Li, lead two cavalry battalions, immediately break into the bridge, and go all out to block the Taiping army, and definitely can't let them cross the Tianzhen Bridge!" Guo Ting, led two cavalry battalions to bypass the Tianzhen Bridge and block the south bank of the Huai River, and the remaining two battalions followed me to block on the north bank, go all out! ”

Six cavalry battalions moved quickly.

Huo Qingteng is now satisfied, and robbed the Qing Demon's baggage, that is a great achievement, it can completely make up for the mistake of losing Yingzhou, I believe that the Yiwang will definitely not blame himself, now it is less than a hundred miles away from Huainan City, a hundred miles, along the Huai River, it only takes a day's distance to arrive!

The entire fleet slowly approached the Tianzhen Bridge, Huo Qingteng didn't notice it, on the bridge, two battalions of cavalry had gathered waiting for their arrival.

The fleet slowly approached the bridge, and it was only a hundred zhang away from the Tianzhen Bridge, and at this time, there was a dense sound of gunfire on the bridge!

One by one, heads emerged from the railing of the bridge, holding horse pistols, and shooting intensively at the Taiping soldiers on the fleet.

Huo Qingteng was shocked, and hurriedly shouted his soldiers to fight back, and the bullets between the two sides exchanged bullets, and a fierce battle started under the bridge!

Although the cavalry on the river could not help the Taiping army in a short time, the Taiping army was also completely blocked under the bridge and could not move forward. Huo Qingteng was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and kept commanding the soldiers to fight back!

Huo Qingteng was anxious, and Zhang Hexiang on the shore was even more anxious, the bullets carried by his cavalry were not very many, and each person was only allocated fifty bullets, but on the fleet, people had inexhaustible bullets, and the bullets escorted this time were enough for the army to use for half a month, how long could they block it?

With artillery? At this time, where can you go to find artillery? The cavalry, in order to advance quickly, did not carry artillery at all! Swimming across the water, directly attacking the warship? But almost all of his cavalry are landlubbers, and it is possible to have two dog planings in the small river, but here is the Qinhuai River, which is deep and wide, and the front of the water surface must be two zhang deep.

The two sides were completely deadlocked, however, Huo Qingteng was even more anxious, he knew that Shi Dakai was now waiting for this batch of munitions, without the supply of arms, they would definitely not be able to defeat the Qing Demon, people could not snatch it back, and there was nothing, just need to stop you from advancing, but if you can't rush over, then the Taiping Army will be unlucky!

"Qingfei, do you have any good ideas?"

Huo Qingteng began to ask Qiu Qingfei, Qiu Qingfei gritted his teeth, what is the best way? Now there is nothing good for either side! Ashore? To go ashore is to seek death! With the thousand people under his command, he is definitely not the opponent of the cavalry battalion of the Qing Demon, and it is not enough for others to drink! Just consume it like that? Who knows how long it will take for the Qing demons on the shore to retreat?

Suddenly, Qiu Qingfei's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "General, we can rush over, let all the brothers find a place to hide, rush over, now it is only a few dozen zhang away from the bridge, as long as we can cross the bridge, we will be considered victorious, anyway, they don't have artillery, just relying on foreign guns, they will definitely not be able to do anything to the merchant ships!" Even if we are killed by some brothers, as long as we can get the baggage back, it will be a victory! ”

Huo Qingteng shouted: "Okay, the order, all the fleets are marching towards the bridge with all their might, grab it!" ”

Dozens of big ships are approaching the Tianzhen Bridge, unstoppable, even if the fire of the two cavalry battalions is fierce, it is useless, can the bullets leak the big ship? It's simply impossible!

On the bridge, Xiao Jianli had to jump straight to his feet, the big boat was already less than ten zhang away from the bridge, once they were allowed to rush across the bridge, then this blockade would be a complete failure! Once the baggage here falls into the hands of the Taiping army, it can completely arm thousands of people, plus an artillery battalion, and it has sufficient combat power with plenty of ammunition!

Looking at the approaching fleet of more and more powerful ships, Xiao Jianli shouted: "Order, ******, prepare to jump into the river, even if you fall to your death, we have to stop them from advancing!" ”

Jumping into the river, just jumping into the river nakedly?

From the bridge to the deck of the ship, how can it be four or five meters? No one can guarantee that there will be no damage at all when jumping on a moving merchant ship, but the Taiping army is aiming at them with guns one by one, who knows how many people will die?

However, if you don't jump, then it is really irretrievable, dozens of big ships are lined up, and it doesn't take a stick of incense to cross the Tianzhen Bridge!

When it comes to this, there is no better way!

Jump!

One by one, the cavalrymen jumped down towards the big boat under the bridge with a horse pistol in one hand and a saber in the other!

The Taiping army on the ship was stunned when they boarded, the courage of these demons is really not ordinary, they dare to jump into the big ship with musket shooting!

"Shoot, shoot now!"

Huo Qingteng's face changed greatly, he knew the combat power of the Qing Demon, once he was close to the Qing Demon, these brave and combative cavalry could definitely fight one against two! Even one against three!

It's just that at this time, the big ship definitely can't stop, it depends on whose luck is good!

Bang bang bang!

The guns kept ringing out, the cavalry were hanging in the air, it was impossible to even dodge, and the cavalry was constantly shot, falling into the water or on the deck, in the distance, Zhang Hexiang's head buzzed, almost fainted, this is to hit the enemy's muzzle, so close to the distance, hit the immortal and have to be seriously injured, plus the high altitude falls, half a life is definitely gone!

Yes......

Zhang Hexiang roared and said angrily: "The first battalion, attack immediately, occupy the bridge, continue to block the attack, even if they all fall to death, they must be left behind for Lao Tzu, and they will not die today!" ”
