Chapter 868: Strange Things

After discovering that the firearms of the Taiping army began to be sparse and dumb, the Qing soldiers who swarmed in were even more courageous, although the same people continued to fall on the way forward, but the pace of the Qing army was getting faster and faster, and it seemed that there was nothing in the world that could stop them from moving forward.

All units of the Taiping Army have suffered a certain degree of casualties, of which the second town and the new second town on the middle line have suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and the defense line of the two towns has also been broken through by one-third of the Qing troops.

The smooth advance made the morale of the Qing army high, and the previous casualties were nothing, and the living Qing soldiers thought of the great victory and merit that were about to be in hand, where would they care about the dead comrades. They stepped on the corpses of their dead comrades over the fortifications of the Taiping army, over the obstacles, little by little they approached the retreating Taiping army, and little by little drove them towards the Grand Canal.

The smooth advance of the infantry greatly encouraged and stimulated the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, and the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry rode forward, and the battle line was full of Manchu and Mongolian soldiers wielding sabers or shooting arrows with bows and arrows. In the eyes of the Manchurian soldiers, the firearms of the Taiping Kou were no longer of much use, as long as they rushed forward, those Taiping Kou with burning sticks would only be slaughtered. Some of the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry who were eager to grab the merit even crossed the infantry army, so that the Han army and the green battalion infantry who had to fall behind scolded the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers in their hearts, but they had no choice but to watch their desperate results fall into the hands of the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers.

Aobai's Chinese army banner is also advancing with the battle line, and Aobai has never taken the merit of the Manchurian and Mongolian children seriously, and does not think that this is a thing. He was happy to see the battle flags of the Manchu and Mongolian children galloping back and forth on the battlefield, because attaching importance to the Han soldiers did not mean that he regarded the Han people as stronger than the Manchu and Mongolian children. In his bones, Ao Bai still can't look down on it, and he can't trust the Han people.

"You say, where is that thief? Is he ready to run? ”

The battle situation is so good that Ao Bai rarely jokes with the Goshha, Chang Adai on the left flank sent a battle report, he is about to break Daijiazhuang, although the right flank was blocked by the Taiping army, and did not make much progress, but this is no longer important. As long as the Chinese army of the thief Xiucai is defeated, the battle will be won by the Qing Dynasty. He finally has the face to go to see his master, instead of feeling ashamed of his master and having no face to see his master as he did in the previous defeat of Guazhou and Bianjiahekou.

On the Tianzhong Tower, Guo Xiong's expression became more and more nervous, his throat kept moving up and down, and he wanted to say something, but when he saw that the face of the handsome man next to him did not fluctuate in the slightest, he swallowed the words that reached his mouth repeatedly.

Zhou Shi turned a blind eye to the frantic attack of the Qing army, and was a little scary calmly. In his line of sight, a thousand households in Xin'er Town were directing his men to retreat to the rear, trying to disengage from the Qing soldiers. But the Qing soldiers bit them tightly like maggots attached to the bones, so that this thousand households had to stop and organize their subordinates to carry out a counterattack, in order to force the Qing soldiers to retreat and successfully bring their subordinates down.

In Guo Xiong's sight, the soldiers who had withdrawn from the second town were firing a final salvo at the pursuing Qing soldiers under the organization of the officer. In the sound of guns, a large number of dense Qing soldiers fell, and some Qing soldiers were retreating or running to both sides in panic, but they didn't know that the Taiping army on the opposite side could no longer organize such a neat salvo.

Some of the soldiers who could no longer fight had to throw down their guns, pick up the knives and guns of their dead comrades, and fight hand-to-hand with the Qing soldiers who rushed up. Scene after scene of life-and-death battles are staged in every direction and every point of the battlefield.

......

Wu Keshan, the emperor's uncle and the emperor's brother, and his younger brother Zasakbele, the commander of the army, went into battle. The addition of tens of thousands of Mongol soldiers made the offensive of the Qing army more and more fierce.

When the sun was directly overhead, the Taiping army's defense line was deflated for more than three miles, whether it was the middle line or the two wings, the Qing army had the absolute upper hand.

Ozir, the former banner of Horqin's right wing, led 2,000 Inner Mongolian soldiers and more than 3,000 Outer Mongolian soldiers and more than 1,000 Manchurian soldiers with more than 1,000 red flags broke into the defense line of the Taiping Army's new second town, and with the cooperation of the Green Camp Han Army, they captured three Taiping Army positions in succession, and even captured more than 10 Taiping Army artillery.

In sight, the Taiping army was fleeing to the rear in embarrassment. Not far away, the Yizhen River and the Grand Canal are clearly visible. The Ozil was full of pride, and he believed that the battle had reached this point, and the Taiping army had been defeated. It is impossible for them to have a chance to turn the tables again, and what the Qing army has to do is to divide the still stubborn Taiping army into several units, and then annihilate them one by one. In the end, they will be able to report their victory to the emperor of Yangzhou.

The performance of the Outer Mongolian soldiers also made Ao Bai very satisfied, originally thought that these Mongolian troops outside the mouth were very unbearable, only slightly stronger than the horse bandits, I don't want the war to begin, the Outer Mongolian soldiers have a brave momentum, there are several breakthrough points are these Outer Mongolian soldiers are not afraid of death, with extremely high casualties to win.

On the battlefield, it was a complete contest of courage, the two sides were intertwined with each other, and people kept falling every moment. At this moment, the competition is the will of both sides, to see who can hold on to the end and who can hold on until the other side collapses.

It is difficult for the Qing soldiers to understand what the Taiping Kou who fought to the death with them think, they are obviously at a disadvantage, but they do not surrender, they do not collapse, they are only desperate there, I really don't know if they don't know fear.

Belle Tuntai has been supervising the battle on the front line, so he is most impressed by the tenacity of the Taiping Kou. When he rode his horse onto a high ground and saw the corpses scattered all over the ground below, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. The origin of this chill was that he had never met a Ming army that was so resolute and refused to collapse. Think back then, as long as you kill dozens or hundreds of Ming troops, the rest of the Ming army will lose their fighting spirit, scatter their legs and flee, and now, no matter how many people die, even if the other party is obviously retreating, but it will not collapse, this sense of battle is an extremely frightening thing, and it is also a very dangerous thing.

If the Taiping Kou cannot be resolved, the Qing Dynasty may really die in their hands.

Tuntai couldn't help but think so.

"Press them down and kill them all."

Tuntai spurred his horse again, and more than a thousand Manchurian disciples galloped forward with his war horse. They excitedly brandished their swords, just to kill the thieves with pleasure.

"Phew!"

Tuntai suddenly stopped, and looked at the place in front of him with some confusion. There, the Taipingkou didn't know what they were doing, and they actually put some iron buckets on the battlefield. It's really weird stuff. (To be continued.) )
