Chapter 879: The Great Fire of Sanwan

The Huai'an soldiers will grit their teeth to support, and the Manmeng soldiers are not. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lu Rulong and the others were anxious, and Fu Lehe was even more anxious.

Holding on for so long, but not seeing the retreating Aobai, Fourlech realized that the camp was likely to be abandoned. Now, he is also difficult to ride a tiger, if he withdraws, he has just assembled, and the Manchurian and Mongolian soldiers who have fought well will collapse in an instant, and I don't know how many will be able to escape by then. If they don't retreat, when the Taiping army comes over, none of them will be able to escape.

"Fellech, what to do?!"

The blue flag and the collar of the button Yaha stomped his foot and asked Fu Lehe. Flelch's face was flushed, and he didn't know whether he was red by the firelight around him or burned red.

"Hold on!"

Fu Lehe spat out these words, he is the son of Azig, and he can't disgrace Amma.

Now, Niu Na Yaha and they are also out of the way, since the people who love the Xinjueluo family do not escape, they will also die here. Several Manchu and Mongolian officers gathered all the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers in the camp who could carry knives and slash, and held the camp at all costs.

Fu Lehe noticed that the Huai'an rebels seemed to be a little demoralized, and he couldn't help but think that the rebellion of Lu Rulong and others might not have been brewing for a long time, and it was likely to be a sudden uprising, so their preparations were a little insufficient, so after occupying the advantage of surprise, they were unable to defeat their own side in one fell swoop.

Fu Lehe thought to himself that the camp of the Manchurian soldiers was quite strong, and the big arrows of the Manchurian soldiers under him were extremely strong, so it was not difficult to deal with those green battalion soldiers who lacked armor. Now that the Huai'an rebels have lost their morale, as long as they stalemate with them for a while, he will lead the troops out and kill all these damn Han dogs, even if the Taiping army arrives, he will still be sure to hold the camp.

Aobai was defeated so badly, but if the Sanwan camp was guarded by him Fu Lehe, then in the eyes of his cousin, he Fu Lehe would be a great hero.

Seeing that the Taiping army was not arriving, and the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers in the camp were gradually regrouped, Chen Erlang, the general manager of Qian, was afraid that the uprising would fail, so he rushed forward with his own soldiers with more than 200 soldiers. They collided with a group of Manchurian soldiers organized by Nunyaha.

"Shoot them with arrows!"

Niu Yaha shouted loudly, in fact, without his order, those Manchu soldiers had already begun to release arrows. The Huai'an soldiers, who lacked armor, were shot dead dozens of people on the spot, and Chen Erlang was also hit by an arrow, and retreated with the support of his own soldiers. Seeing that the rebellious soldiers were in chaos, the Manchurian soldiers immediately rushed up and slashed. Seeing this, Fu Lehe hurriedly mobilized more Manmeng soldiers to rush out along the breakthrough made by Niu Ni Yaha. The Manchu and Mongolian soldiers became more and more courageous, while the Huai'an soldiers became more and more frightened the more they fought, and some Huai'an soldiers couldn't help but drop their weapons and wanted to flee outside the camp.

"A group of cowards, mom forced one by one to have no eggs!"

Wu Ming drew his sword in the Yancheng dialect to meet him, Lu Rulong and others also hurriedly led their troops over, and the two sides fought in the open space outside the Manmeng barracks. The arrows could not stop falling in the air, and the Huai'an soldiers paid a lot of price compared to the Manchurian soldiers who were protected by armor.

Fu Lehe thought that the best time for a counterattack had come, and led hundreds of Manchurian soldiers to rush out of the camp, ready to drive the Huai'an soldiers out of the camp in one go.

Seeing so many Manmeng soldiers rushing out of the camp, Lu Rulong's face turned green. Fortunately, at this time, a group of Taiping troops dressed in red red uniforms appeared outside the camp. Seeing the arrival of the Taiping army, Wu Ming and the others immediately shouted loudly, reminding their subordinates that the reinforcements had arrived, and they had to hold on no matter what.

After discovering that the Taiping army really rushed to arrive, Fu Lehe was also in a hurry, and it was the foot soldiers of the Taiping army who came, which showed that there was no Manchu and Mongolian cavalry near the left of the camp, and there might even be no Han army and green battalion.

Liu Bangdong of 100 households was out of breath, although he was chased like rabbits all the way, he ran out of breath, and the pursuing Taiping army was also uncomfortable. Fortunately, the hard work finally paid off, and he was the first to lead his troops to the Qing army camp.

"Release!"

Liu Bangdong shouted, and a soldier behind him picked up the firearm in his hand, lit the fire rope, and fired it at the Qing army's location from a distance, only to hear the sound of "boom", and the flying projectile passed through the head of a Manchurian soldier, leaving a big blood hole in his forehead. Immediately afterwards, more guns rang out, forming a rain of lead bullets in the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers, and dozens of Manchu and Mongolian soldiers were knocked to the ground. At the same time, there were more than a dozen Huai'an soldiers who fell to the ground. The Taiping army can't aim, and there will naturally be accidental injuries under the gun.

A very young soldier looked at his fallen companion and wailed in the blood hole on his body, and let out a cry of fright, and ran frantically behind without knowing what to shout. In the sound of guns, Fu Lehe saw more Taiping troops pouring into the camp, some with guns and some with swords and spears. When he found out that a group of cavalry of the Taiping Army had also rushed into the camp, Fu Lehe's heart trembled terribly.

The Taiping army, which rushed into the camp, under the leadership of those Huai'an soldiers who were anyway, attacked the camp of the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers from several directions at the same time. The Manchurian soldiers could not resist it, so they had to retreat towards the camp in a panic, but they collapsed before that. The Manchu and Mongolian soldiers who retreated into the camp continued to fight with the Taiping army with the help of fences and other fortifications.

Time does not pass, and the sun in the sky shifts from the center to the south. Fu Lehe was completely desperate, he personally set fire to the grain and grass hoarded in the camp of the full army, and then threw himself into the bloody battle with the Taiping army with his unwillingness. The remnants of the thousands of Manchu soldiers knew that there was no way out, and they all screamed and slashed together with the Taiping troops who rushed up. The battle between the two sides in the Ming and Qing dynasties was even more tragic than before, which made Lu Rulong and other Huai'an generals dumbfounded.

The young Manmeng children, the newcomers who were not valued by the high-level in the banner, were completely desperate for their lives at this moment. They fought bravely, even if it was to build a wall of blood with their own corpses, to keep the Taiping army out. They fought first under the leadership of the officers, and then on their own. The camp was full of fighting crowds, shouts of killing and desperate cursing were endless.

Around the Yuanmen Building of the Manchurian battalion, hundreds of Taiping troops and the same number of Manchu and Mongolian soldiers fought to the death. The Taiping army rushed forward, and was soon pushed out again. Fu Lehe was always with the soldiers, he was dressed in iron armor, and he shouted for a fierce battle, inspiring the Manchurian and Mongolian children to resist desperately.

The army has been defeated, so many Manchu and Mongolian soldiers have been defeated, now let these young children work hard for the Qing Dynasty.

The Manchurian soldiers fought less and less, but their eyes became redder and redder. In front of these red-eyed Manchu soldiers, several offensives of the Taiping army were crushed, although they rushed into the camp of the Qing army and broke through the camp of the Manchu army, but they could not solve the battle for a long time. Many soldiers just fell to the moment of light before dawn. These Taiping soldiers who pursued all the way from Gaomin Temple for more than ten miles to the Sanwan camp threw themselves into the bloody battle without a moment of respite. People are not steel, since crossing the river, they have been spinning, and their bodies and minds have long been tired, and they are all gritting their teeth to support them at this time.

The infantry cavalry of the Taiping army who rushed to Sanwan were all engaged in the battle, and even the senior officers of the Qianhu level rushed forward in armor.

Liu Bangdong of the hundred households had to lead people to rush to Fu Lehe, who commanded the stubborn resistance of the Qing army, twice, but he was beaten back by the full army. There are not many Huai'an soldiers who are still fighting, Lu Rulong and others are cooperating with the Taiping army with three or four hundred Huai'an soldiers, and the others are either killed in battle or scattered, and the rest are exhausted, they all sit on the ground and gasp for breath, no matter how the officers kick and beat, they refuse to get up, and even a few soldiers are lying on their stomachs in the pile of corpses and falling asleep.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, affecting the Taiping army's attack, but the Qing army was even more painful. Many Manchu soldiers who were at the downwind were directly choked to death by the smoke.

Ge Yi was also very anxious when he arrived at the Sanwan camp, he was not worried that he would not be able to clean up the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers who were still resisting, but he felt sorry for the grain, grass and ordnance that was being burned by the fire. That's more than 100,000 stone grains and grass!

It was getting dark, but the fire in the camp had not been reduced by half, and the heat was emitted from the fires everywhere, making the cold night in the depths of winter extremely warm. In the flames, half of the savings obtained by the Qing army from the scourge of the people in Jiangbei turned into ashes. Countless bags of rice were burning, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt rice.

Above the south gate of Yangzhou, Shunzhi stared blankly at the fire in the south. (To be continued.) )
