Chapter 514: Night Attack on Xinxiang City (3)

Today's Xinxiang City gate is wide open, and the cavalry of Baoding Town are rushing in, not to mention anything else, but fast horses and spears are by no means the Hastily Twisted Army and the Taiping Army can live in a low grade.

Chen Sidao, the brigade commander of the Taiping Army, and Dong Hanlou, the owner of the Twist Army Banner, mobilized almost all the troops in the city to counterattack the cavalry of Baoding Town, and the Twist Army and the Taiping Army continued to charge, but in Xinxiang City, even the fastest main street was only a few meters wide, and no matter how many troops were in the street, they could not be deployed at all.

The Twist Army and the Taiping Army could not rush to the front of the cavalry of Baoding Town at all, one by one fell on the way to charge, from late at night to the eve of dawn, the two sides were on the street, the whole fierce battle lasted for three hours, the Twist Army and the Taiping Army were defeated and retreated, the casualties were heavy, and finally they could not stand it, the entire North City and the East City were all captured, and even the prefect's yamen as the command center of the Twist Army and the Taiping Army was conquered by He Tengjiao in one fell swoop.

The cavalry of Baoding Town is more and more excited, even if it is a long-distance attack, one by one, the physical strength is worried, it is still constantly rushing to kill, at the beginning, or with the help of the rifle to suppress the firepower, to later, the Taiping army can not support, when they have retreated, the cavalry began a crazy slaughter, the sabre in the hand, the cold light is shining, breathtaking, like chopping melons and vegetables, harvesting the lives of the Twist Army and the Taiping Army!

I can't stand it, I can't stand it!

Chen Sidao and Dong Hanlou sat on an army of 5,000 in Xinxiang City, never thought that it would fall in Xinxiang City overnight, this is something that can not even be dreamed of, 5,000 twist army and Taiping army, in front of 3,000 Baoding town cavalry, no chance, no chance, at dawn, Chen Sidao and Dong Hanlou only have more than 1,000 troops left, the rest of the twist army and the Taiping army, either killed in battle, or seriously injured, or just slipped away, Baoding cavalry God blocked and killed God, Buddha blocked and killed Buddha, Unstoppable!

"Run, General Chen, we can't go down on the top, and if we go down again, I'm afraid that the brothers will all die here......"

Dong Hanlou was full of bitterness, his Twist Army was as strong as 3,500 people, and now there were less than 700 people guarding his side, the sudden sneak attack caught the Twist Army off guard, and it completely suffered a big loss, and now the Twist Army was panicked, and it was impossible to continue the battle at all.

As a bandit-born general of the Twist Army, no matter from all aspects, Dong Hanlou and Chen Sidao are a big difference, the military discipline of the Taiping Army is very strict, and the tactical literacy of these generals is also stronger than that of the Twist Army, and now Dong Hanlou is fleeing, but Chen Sidao doesn't want to, overnight, he lost Xinxiang City, and he also led the crowd to escape, that is definitely going to be unloaded by King Zun, even if he doesn't clean himself up, he will lose face, just escape from the city, how is it possible?

"Brother Dong, we must hold on for a while, the messengers who asked King Zun and King Liang for help have already been dispatched, as long as we hold out until noon, before noon, I think, our Twist Army cavalry will definitely be killed! We still have a chance to drive the demons away, but if you just run away, then it's all over! ”

Dong Hanlou hurriedly said: "General Chen, now we only have more than 1,000 people, with such a small number of troops, how can we withstand the attack of the Qing Demon?" How to resist? Their foreign guns are so powerful! ”

Dong Hanlou was already in a state of turmoil, and he didn't know what to do, but when he saw that Chen Sidao refused to leave, he was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

Chen Sidao replied: "Brother Dong, don't panic, we have 5,000 people, even if there are heavy casualties, it is impossible for them to die overnight, there must be other tribes that have been forced to disperse in other places, and we can't gather, in Xinxiang City, we still have at least more than 2,000 troops!" Persistence, we must hold ......"

Before Chen Sidao's words were finished, a stray bullet flew from a distance, hitting Chen Sidao's forehead and eye socket!

"Ahh

Chen Sidao let out a miserable scream, covered his eyes with both hands, rolled off the war horse, and his eyes were directly hit, where was this kind of pain that Chen Sidao could bear? Chen Sidao rolled on the spot, screaming uncontrollably.

Dong Hanlou was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Chen Sidao up, at this time, Chen Sidao was already bleeding and in a state of madness.

"Protect well, General Chen, retreat, retreat immediately! Evacuate! ”

Dong Hanlou lost Chen Sidao as the backbone, and he couldn't stand it anymore, roaring wildly, and began to retreat towards the west city with the remnants of the defeated army, very unlucky, now the east city has been captured, originally the east is the best place to retreat, can meet the reinforcements, now the city gate is occupied, it is absolutely impossible.

Dong Hanlou and Chen Sidao withdrew from Xinxiang City, and the Twist Army and the Taiping Army left in Xinxiang City were even more unable to withstand the leaderlessness, and in the face of the sharp attack of the soldiers of Baoding Town, they scattered in a hurry, and escaped from Xinxiang with fast legs.

In the morning, He Tengjiao occupied the entire Xinxiang City in one go, sitting on the chair of the prefect's yamen, He Tengjiao was full of spirit, too happy, one night, he took a mansion city, such a battle was too cool!

"Hexiang, immediately send a cavalry battalion to maintain order in the city, let people post notices to calm the people, appease the people, and strictly enforce military discipline!"

Zhang Hexiang hurriedly agreed, and then asked: "Boss, we have been fighting all night, for such a long time, I think it is impossible for the Twist Army and the Taiping Army not to get the news, I am afraid that now the reinforcements of the Twist Army are already on the way......"

He Tengjiao nodded and replied: "You are right, Xinxiang is lost, then Lai Wenguang and Zhang Zongyu will definitely rush to Xinxiang desperately, such a close distance, I am afraid that by noon, the cavalry of the Twist Army may have to go to Xinxiang City, it is precisely because of this that we must stabilize the order in the city as soon as possible, and send the second and third battalions to the head of Xinxiang City, constantly patrol and guard, and the reconnaissance company immediately released scouts to detect the news ahead, maybe, we still have a big war to fight!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Hexiang hurriedly went down to prepare.

He Tengjiao thought about it for a while, felt that there were still some problems, and shouted: "Deng Debiao! ”

Deng Debiao, the battalion commander of the fourth cavalry battalion, hurriedly took a few steps closer and asked, "Boss, what's the matter!" ”

"Don't worry about other things, immediately order the brothers of the fourth battalion to seize the treasury of Xinxiang as soon as possible, whether it is real money or food, all of them will show me, and no one can get close, this is our lifeline!"
