"Retreat to the latter!"

Under the forced gaze of Zhou Shixiang and his personal guards, the rout did not dare to resist, so they had to turn around and go back. After discovering that the marshal led his personal guards to reinforce Jiang Fan, the blind man Li under the mountain was so anxious that he couldn't do it, but his duty was to lead the iron guard to be firmly nailed to the official road.

Although the blind Li Hun also knows the importance of the Iron Man Guard stuck in the official road, as long as the Iron Man Guard is there, the front will be defeated, and the Iron Man Guard can also stabilize the situation. If the Iron Man Guard leaves the official road, the rout will definitely run directly to the back without supervising the formation, and the Qing army will be able to take advantage of the situation to rush out of the official road in one fell swoop, then the battle will be lost. After all, the Iron Man Guard is the last line of defense of the Taiping Army, the Iron Man Guard is there, the Taiping Army is there; The Iron Man Guard died, and the Taiping Army died.

"Sit down, don't waste your physical strength, and then there will be a fight between us!"

The blind man Li hated to look at the Qing army that rushed to the mountain, and the hand holding the sledgehammer was extremely itchy

After Zhou Shixiang led people to rush up, more than 100 Chaozhou soldiers happened to come up from the bottom of the slope, and found that a group of Taiping soldiers were protecting Zhou Shixiang, and immediately shouted loudly.

Zhou Shixiang's personal guards were selected from the iron guards, and everyone was a good player during the big competition, even if they were Chaozhou soldiers. After a slash, dozens of Chaozhou soldiers were immediately cut to the ground, and the Chaozhou soldiers were always kicked and rolled down the hillside, and the rest of the Chaozhou soldiers were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated.

Zhou Shi couldn't breathe, and commanded the routed soldiers and the soldiers who gathered to pursue the fleeing Chaozhou soldiers. He led the guards to reinforce Jiang Fan, who was surrounded by several Qing soldiers. Suna led his cavalry to also rush over, and this group of cavalry was good at killing the enemy immediately, let alone killing people under horses. The reinforcements of the Suna Department relieved the threat of the Taipings under the mountain. As a result, a Qing army that wanted to rush to the official road was forced to retreat.

When Zhou Shixiang led his guards to rush to a hundred and ten meters away from Jiang Fan's department, a team of Tongzhou archers spotted them, and dozens of bows immediately turned around and shot at them.

Zhou Shixiang's personal guards were tall and big, although they were wearing iron armor and had difficulty moving on this hillside, but the arrows of the Qing army did not want to break through the iron armor on their bodies unless they hit the door directly. Seeing that those Qing soldiers were about to shoot arrows, the guards were busy surrounding Zhou Shixiang. Swinging the knife and slashing the arrows, the arrows landed on the iron armor and made a "clang" sound.

"Kill!"

Zhou Shixiang swept away an arrow and roared at the group of Qing army archers. More than a dozen guards jumped down from the left front and rushed over against the arrows of the Qing army. The Qing army archers had no armor on them, and when they saw more than a dozen ironclad soldiers rushing towards them, the arrows could not penetrate them. I was so scared that I turned around and ran. The guards only caught up with a few and cut down. But the rest of them were not fast enough to let them run down the mountain.

Yang Zhenwei, the general soldier of Zhending, who was leading his own soldiers to urge Zhenbiao to besiege the Taiping Army, found that the Taiping Army had reinforcements coming, although the number was not large, but his own soldiers were scattered, and he couldn't help but be furious, and he took a knife and led people to go up to block it.

A group of southern barbarians also dare to block the Qing soldiers, let you see how powerful the northern land is erlang!

Two or three hundred Zhending soldiers followed Yang Zhenwei to kill Zhou Shixiang, and after Fan Si, the captain of the C battalion of the A brigade, pressed the Qing soldiers in front of him down the mountain, he found that the marshal was in danger here. Hurriedly led the team to protect the handsome, just to block Yang Zhenwei. Hundreds of soldiers on both sides slashed around more than 100 trees

On the other side, hundreds of Tongzhou soldiers surrounded a group of more than 100 Taiping troops. Under the shooting of the Qing army archers below, the Taiping army fell dozens of people, and the remaining regiment resisted desperately around Li Sanjiang of the hundred households.

"Hold on, you can't retreat, the big man has brought someone to reinforce us, and the brothers can't retreat anything, and his mother. The Qing demon is fighting! ”

Li Sanjiang was born as a miner in the Laofengzhuang copper mine, and he was also a fanatical Luojiao, and the most talked about in the army on weekdays was that Zhou Dashuai was Grandpa Yue, who wanted to lead them into Beijing, eat Tartar meat raw, drink Tartar blood, and finish making a Manchurian Gege by himself.

Li Sanjiang, a fanatical Luo disciple, roared at the Qing army with red eyes like a beast and killed him, but when he was more than ten meters away from the Qing army, he was shot into a honeycomb by several oncoming arrows. After being hit by the arrow, Li Sanjiang looked at those Qing soldiers unwillingly, and took two steps forward before his knees weakened and fell to the ground. What I thought before I died was that this time I could finally enter the Martyrs' Shrine as the apologist of Luojiao, become the patron saint of the Han people for generations, and enjoy the incense offerings of the children of the Han family for generations!

"Lord Baihu has become a god! Avenge the Lord of the Hundred Households! ”

Several Luo disciples let out angry roars and rushed towards the Qing army.

"Avenge the Lord of the Hundred Households!"

"See you at the Martyrs' Shrine!"

Seeing this, the remaining Taiping army roared to avenge Li Sanjiang and rushed towards the Qing army

"There are too many Qing soldiers, we can't stand it!"

Zhang Rong, a small banner from the Han army under the Jingnan Domain, saw that the Qing army rushed up the mountain too much, and he couldn't kill it all, so he couldn't help but feel afraid.

Liang Jiayou, who was also from the Han army under the Jingnan Domain, scolded: "If you can't stand it, you have to top it!" ”

"Brother Liang, let's run!" Zhang Rong was really scared, he didn't want to fight anymore.

"Run?"

Liang Jiayou, whose face was covered with blood, looked at Zhang Rong and said angrily: "Where to run!" ”

"You can run anywhere, if you don't run, you'll all die here!" Because of fear, Zhang Rong's voice trembled.

Liang Jiayou grabbed him violently and shouted, "Do you want to kill your wife and children!" ”

Zhang Rong was stunned there, if he ran away, the Taiping army in Guangzhou would definitely kill all his wife and children, but he was really afraid, he didn't want to die here.

"Don't fucking think about running, we haven't lost yet, hold on, the casualties of the Qing army are greater than ours, hold on, we can win this battle!"

Zhang Rong pointed to the corpses that were lying all over the ground, and said tremblingly: "Everyone is almost dead, I can't hold it anymore!" ”

"If you can't hold it, you have to hold on, we have no other way to go, the braids have been cut, if we don't defeat these Qing troops, they will kill our wives and children after killing us, we have to fight with them." Even if you die, you have to die here! ”

Liang Jiayou almost roared and yelled at Zhang Rong, Zhang Rong hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't bear the tragic death of his wife and children. Gritting his teeth and carrying a knife, he rushed forward again towards the Qing army in front

Jiang Fan led the A Brigade to intercept the Zhili soldiers and Chaozhou soldiers who were climbing on the left, and Zhu Qinglai led the B Brigade to block the Henan soldiers who were climbing on the right. Compared with the progress of the Zhili soldiers and the Chaozhou soldiers on the left, the Henan soldiers were driven down by the Taiping army of the B Brigade without even climbing up the slope.

Liu Zhong, the commander-in-chief of Guide, and Zhang Chao, the commander-in-chief of Nanyang, were unwilling to fail, and once again organized manpower to climb, and the two sides fought together on a slope only fifty or sixty meters away from the bottom of the mountain. Zhu Qinglai took the lead, and 70 percent of his troops were veterans who joined the Taiping Army before the bloody battle of Xinhui, and they were led by these loyal officers and veterans. The B Brigade once again inflicted heavy losses on the Henan battalion, and the Henan soldiers suffered seven or eight hundred casualties, and had to retreat to the bottom of the mountain to regroup.

The Manchurian capital of Nahai fought over after Liu Zhong and Zhang Chao withdrew. The second general was not allowed to argue a few words for himself, it was a whip, and the two general soldiers were whipped to the flesh, but they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

"Organize your soldiers to charge me again. If you lose again. The whole city told you to know what the military law of the Qing Dynasty was! ”

Nahai didn't care how many people died in the green camp, and he didn't care that Liu Zhong and Zhang Chao were the chief military officers, he only needed Xuanwu Mountain.

Under the coercion of Nahai, Liu Zhong and Zhang Chao had to organize people to go up the mountain again, but the failure of the two attacks before and after had made the Henan soldiers lose their sharpness, and the corpses of their companions everywhere on the mountain also made them frightened

The battle situation on the mountain on the left was becoming more and more unfavorable for the Taiping army. After Wu Liuqi attacked the upper half of the hill in the town mark, he led his own soldiers up the mountain in person, wanting to do his best.

Wu Liuqi is superb in martial arts. When he was a teenager, he was living in a monastery in Phoenix Mountain to do chores. The monks in the temple taught the apprentices the stick method at night, and Wu Liuqi learned it while watching. At dawn, the monk went down the mountain, Wu Liuqi competed with his disciples, and did not want to beat him to death, so he tied himself up and waited for the monk to fall. The monks admired his stick method and still kept him in the temple. Another day, Wu Liuqi encountered a tiger on patrol at night, so he was killed with a stick; When he encountered another tiger, he was also killed.

Wu Liuqi is not only superb in martial arts, but also has a very peculiar appearance, and his eyebrows are biased to the left to make a horizontal flying momentum, looking like a god. Although the appearance is rough, he can be a thoughtful person, and he is often conceited by his strategy. A scholar once ridiculed Wu Liuqi as a martial artist with "There is no study at home, where does the official come from", but he responded to the lower link and said: "There is no kind of phase, and men should be self-reliant." ”

Wu Liuqi has a nickname "General Dali", but when he wandered in Zhejiang in his early years, he hid the leftover rice in a broken temple bell, and as a result, when he raised the bell with one hand to take the meal, he called Zhejiang Juren Zha Jizuo to see it, and was surprised and called General Dali. After Wu Liuqi joined the army, the nickname of "General Vigorous" spread.

Although Wu Liuqi, who killed the second tiger when he was young, passed his fiftieth birthday last year, his body is still strong, his hair is not white, and he looks like a person in his forties. He held the big iron rod he used when he was a teenager, and led his soldiers to climb the mountain and was invincible all the way, and no less than a dozen Taiping soldiers died under his stick, forcing no one in the Taiping army to dare to fight and retreat.

The Chaozhou soldiers witnessed the majesty of the Admiral, and suddenly burst into cheers, everyone shouted the name of General Wu Liuqi, and Zhou Shixiang, who was fighting with the Zhili soldiers, was also attracted by the sound.

"What a strange beggar, what a strong general!"

Zhou Shixiang's eyes were slight, and he knew that the person must be Wu Liuqi, the chief soldier of Chaozhou, and he was probably not Wu Liuqi's opponent in his martial arts, but when he saw Wu Liuqi's morale in the Qing army, he still pulled his legs and went to Wu Liuqi.

"Dashuai can't go!"

The guards saw Wu Liuqi's stick method, and knew that this person was powerful, and their own handsome was afraid that he was not an opponent, so they stepped forward to dissuade him in worry.

"If you don't kill Wu Liuqi, the morale of our army will not be boosted!"

Zhou Shixiang pushed away the guards who hugged him, bent on killing Wu Liuqi. The guards couldn't dissuade them, so they had to carry knives and surround Zhou Shixiang, even if they were desperate to die, they had to protect the safety of the handsome.

"My lord, the thief is handsome, it's the thief!"

Wu Liuqi's personal soldiers found Zhou Shixiang and his party running from the mountain, Wu Liuqi also saw Zhou Shixiang, the thief's young face impressed him when Lu Feng was there, how could he not recognize it.

"What a thief and talent, do you want to compete with this official!"

Wu Liuqi is arrogant, he is confident enough to kill the thief Xiucai in front of the battle with a stick, and he doesn't dare to say that the whole world, but in Guangdong, if he Wu Liuqi says that martial arts are second, who dares to be the first!

"Let me kill that thief Xiucai!"

Wu Liuqi rushed forward with a stick, he knew that Prince Jian under the mountain was watching, if he Wu Liuqi could kill the thief with a stick, what a glory Prince Jian would be in his eyes!

Before Zhou Shixiang could get closer, he shouted loudly: "Wu Liuqi, I heard that you are a strong general, but I don't know how strong you are!" ”

"Thief Xiucai, how strong the official is, you will know if you try it!"

Wu Liuqi rushed forward with a cruel smile, raised the iron rod high, and wanted to kill Zhou Shixiang on the spot with a stick, but when he heard a "bang", the thief Xiucai had a light smoke in front of him, and he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and then he stood unsteadily, and the whole person flew backwards like a kite.

"What can you do if you have great strength and good martial arts, you are always not as powerful as my handcuff!"

Looking at the handcuff in his hand, which was given by the governor of Macao, Bu Gallo, Zhou Shixiang showed a very satisfied expression, and secretly said that after this battle, this handcuff must be equipped with one for each officer, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with a Qing general with superb martial arts.
