Xi Chunhua, who got the news, was shocked, the gate of the North City was occupied by the Qing army? So how the hell do you play?

"Order, mobilize all the troops, assemble towards Beicheng, and order the infantry battalion in Beicheng, at any cost, to snatch Beicheng back for me, and if you lose Beicheng, Lao Tzu will take their heads to sacrifice the flag!"

Xi Chunhua jumped up, rushed out of the general yamen, mobilized the army in a hurry, and began to assemble towards the northern city.

Beicheng itself has a battalion of troops stationed, because the Qing army came from the north, naturally Beicheng is the focus of defense, not only has a battalion of Taiping troops, but also more than 30 foreign gunners!

The soldiers of the Lu army killed more than a dozen foreign gunners under the city, and there were more than a dozen people on top.

Zhang Hexiang and Tian Dabiao led more than 30 people, against the gate of the city, constantly shooting, unguarded, but by the Taiping army in the city to shoot a few cold shots, several brothers were wounded, Zhang Hexiang was also almost wounded.

Zhang Hexiang was so angry that he jumped like thunder, what is special, Lao Tzu was not injured when he charged again, but was injured a few people here, what a hell!

"Pillar, bring a few people, and kill those long-haired devils on top for me!"

Zhang Hexiang roared.

Wan Zhu agreed, and with a wave of his hand, seven or eight people began to shoot towards the city, while the others were desperately resisting the charge of other Taiping troops, but after all, they were only about thirty people, and the ammunition they brought was not particularly large, where could they withstand the dense impact of hundreds of people?

At the time when it was in danger, the sound of dense horse hooves behind it, like the roar of a dragon, from far and near, a cavalry rushed in! The horse pistol in his hand continued to shoot fiercely, suppressing the Taiping army at the head of the city and the city in an instant!

Gao He rushed forward first, shouting: "Hexiang, get on the horse!" ”

The brothers in front dodged the road one by one, and the cavalry of the Lu army rushed straight into the north city gate without even a pause, and the powerful firepower and assault power, even if it was just intimidation, were enough for the Taiping army of this battalion to drink a pot!

"The cavalry is coming, the cavalry is coming!"

The Taiping army panicked one by one, facing the crazy assault of the war horses, one by one fled to both sides of the street, standing in the middle, it would only be a dead end, if they didn't want to be trampled into flesh, they had only one way to escape!

It's just that the panicked Taiping soldiers forgot that the cavalry all had horse pistols in their hands, and when they were close, they were cut with sabers, far away, and the horse pistols were not vegetarian, and at the moment when the cavalry rushed into Yingzhou City, the guns rang out, and the unlucky Taiping army was beaten and fled, and they couldn't resist effectively at all!

In a quarter of an hour, in just a quarter of an hour, two battalions of cavalry occupied the entire Beicheng and began to advance the battle line towards Dongcheng.

Dozens of foreign spearmen began to shoot incessantly, trying to organize the advance of the cavalry, while two infantry battalions of the Taiping army began to line up and prepare for desperate resistance.

Gao He shouted: "First company, kill the opponent's foreign gunners for me, and the rest, draw your sword and charge!" ”

On the main road, when there were still more than a hundred steps between the two sides, the cavalry of the Lu army began a crazy charge, four or five war horses lined up in a row, and hundreds of cavalry began to crush towards the Taiping army, and the momentum was terrifying!

Don't talk about ordinary Taiping soldiers, even Xi Chunhua is so frightened that his heart is beating!

But at this time, now he can only rush forward, what makes Xi Chunhua most uncomfortable is, where did this cavalry come from? I didn't even hear the wind beforehand, I really saw the hell! What did General Huo of Huishan do? was touched by nearly a thousand cavalrymen, and he didn't even notice it!

In the blink of an eye, the cavalry and the Taiping army were in short contact, with the strong impact, the cavalry sabers flew one by one, constantly beckoning to the Taiping army, even if the Taiping army had more troops, it was difficult to resist in the face of the cavalry that had rushed up, the Taiping army was frightened to the pale, frightened, and could not resist the cavalry's attack at all, and the killed were defeated and retreated!

As for those dozens of foreign gunners, what can they do with just a few dozen people? The cavalry of the first company suppressed the opponent's firepower in an instant, their rifles were just old rifles eliminated by the United States, with slow rate of fire, low accuracy, and lack of training, how could they be the opponents of the elite cavalry?

Defeated, unstoppable defeated!

Before noon, the Taiping army had already lost the north city, the east city and the south city, and only one west city was left in the hand, but now Xi Chunhua only had less than one battalion of troops, and all the rest had been solved.

Xi Chunhua is full of despair, it's over, Yingzhou City will definitely not be able to be saved, it will not be saved!

"Retreat, retreat! Immediately withdraw from Yingzhou City and retreat in the direction of Huishan! ”

Xi Chunhua gave the order to retreat unwillingly, rushed out of Yingzhou City with the remnants of the defeated generals, and retreated in the northwest direction.

It's just that their infantry wanted to escape the pursuit of the cavalry, it was too difficult, and the cavalry rested for a night, recuperating and recuperating, and the speed rushed up, as fast as lightning, and killed directly from the city.

Zhang Hexiang carried two revolvers in his hands and continued to shoot, harvesting the lives of the Taiping army, and only ran out less than ten miles away, the Taiping army was surrounded by cavalry again, and launched a new round of slaughter!

Facing the momentum of the Lu cavalry, the current Taiping army is all frightened, where is there still the spirit to continue to resist, throw away the swords in their hands one by one, lie on the ground, surrender, surrender!

Only by surrendering can you save your life!

Xi Chunhua couldn't care much now, slapped his war horse, threw everyone away, and walked away, escaping from his life.

Yingzhou City, lost, the Taiping army did not insist on the next day, before dusk, it was completely dispersed, the fall of Yingzhou City, but also the Taiping army of Huishan no longer had a way to escape, two cavalry battalions blocked the Yingzhou line, the Taiping army only had one way to go!

Where did Xi Chunhua dare to stay, and ran to the foot of Huishan in one breath, and when he arrived at the foot of Huishan, there was still the rumbling of artillery on Huishan, and Gao Qi's Lu army was still fighting fiercely with Huo Qingteng.
