At three o'clock in the morning, five miles away from the east gate of Xi'an County, the fire in the Shanghai army camp was soaring, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering.

Just ten minutes ago, Qin Rilie led more than 2,000 elite iron cavalry to attack the Shanghai army camp again, and succeeded in one fell swoop.

"Haha, it is said that the Shanghai army is invincible, and today it is not folded in the hands of my Qin Rilie!"

Qin Rilie laughed, he had never been so happy and excited, you must know that the combat effectiveness of the Shanghai army is dozens of times that of other Qing armies, and now the Shanghai army is defeated in the hands of his Qin Rilie, everyone in the world will remember Qin Rilie, he will be famous all over the world, and the king and the marquis are just around the corner.

"Brothers, kill me! Kill them all! From today on, the Shanghai army is bullshit, and our Iron Bear Battalion is invincible in the world! ”

"The Iron Bear Camp is invincible!"

"The Iron Bear Camp is invincible!"

Qin Rilie's subordinates also screamed excitedly, they frantically slashed and killed the officers and soldiers of the "Shanghai Army" who cried for their fathers and mothers, they were avenging Meiling's companions, and they were also announcing to the world that they were the strongest.

It's just that their excitement was quickly poured cold water.

"Have you found Li Weiguo?"

"Report to General Qin, I didn't find Li Weiguo, but I found a senior general of the Shanghai Army, who is a commander of ten thousand people!"

Qin Rilie was a little unhappy when he heard that he didn't find Li Weiguo, but his subordinates arrested a captain of the Shanghai army, which was also a big gain, because Qin Rilie knew the military system of the Shanghai army, the commander of the army, the commander of the army, the commander of the hundred, the commander of the thousand, the commander of the ten thousand, and then the supreme commander Li Weiguo. The capture of a commander of the Shanghai army, which is equivalent to the commander of the Taiping Army, is also a great achievement.

Not long after, the commander of the Shanghai army was escorted to Qin Rilie by the soldiers of the Taiping Army.

Qin Rilie asked, "What's your name?" What is his position in the Shanghai Army? Where is Li Weiguo? ”

The captain was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he said with a crying voice: "Villain Wang Liang, I've seen Lord Qin!" ”

Qin Rilie was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Do you recognize General Ben?" ”

Wang Liang hurriedly said: "The villain doesn't dare to hide it, the villain's confirmation is Lord Qin." Because the villain served as the supervisor of the Minfu battalion under General Qi Huan's account before, after the first battle of Meiling, the villain was captured by the Shanghai army, and in order to control the Minfu battalion, they did not kill the villain, and appointed the villain to the official position of a 10,000-strong commander. General Qin Mingjian, the villain was also forced to be helpless, in Cao Ying's heart was in Han, and the villain was thinking about returning to the Taiping Army all the time. Now that General Qin has led his army to break through the Shanghai army camp, the villain has finally been saved! ”

Qin Rilie's face sank suddenly. He thought that it would be a great achievement for Li Weiguo to catch a captain of the Shanghai Army, but he didn't expect that the commander he arrested turned out to be the supervisor of the Taiping Army's own civilian battalion, which was really annoying.

"Ben will ask you, where is Li Weiguo? Who is the supreme commander in this Shanghai army camp? Where are you now? As long as you answer truthfully, you will be able to open the net, even if you have been guilty! ”

At this moment, Qin Rilie had not forgotten to arrest Li Weiguo, which showed that he had been carried away by the victory in front of him.

Wang Liang hurriedly said: "The villain has never seen Li Weiguo, the highest commander in the Shanghai army camp is surnamed Zhang. I heard that it is Li Weiguo's cronies! ”

"The surname is Zhang, and he is Li Weiguo's cronies, so it must be Zhang Xiaoliu's house!" A Taiping Army general beside Qin Rilie suddenly interjected.

Another general agreed: "That Zhang Xiaoliu is Li Weiguo's most trusted person, where is Li Weiguo." Zhang Xiaoliu will definitely accompany him, and if he finds Zhang Xiaoliu's position, he will definitely be able to find Li Weiguo's position! ”

Qin Rilie nodded suddenly, and hurriedly asked, "Where is that Zhang Xiaoliu?" ”

Wang Liang replied truthfully: "General Qin." When General Qin came to rob the camp for the first time, after Zhang Xiaoliu won a small victory, he told the villain not to be rude. He led all the main forces of the Shanghai army of 5,000 men and horses to quietly leave the camp and disappeared. ”

Qin Rilie suddenly said angrily: "What? Zhang Xiaoliu also doesn't know where to go? What are you doing as a captain, you don't even know where people are going? ”

"General Qin spares his life, the villain really doesn't know!" Wang Liang was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Wait!" Qin Rilie was about to draw his sword to kill Wang Liang, when he suddenly stopped and asked, "Wang Liang, what did you just say?" You said that Zhang Xiaoliu left the camp with all the main forces of the Shanghai army of 5,000 men? ”

Wang Liangmu was stunned, and only nodded.

Qin Rilie continued to ask: "As far as I know, the main force of the Shanghai army that came to attack Xi'an County today has 20,000 horses, except for the 5,000 men and horses taken by Zhang Xiaoliu, the rest of the 15,000 horses are in the camp?" ”

Wang Liang nodded and said, "That's right, it's all in the camp, but—"

"Just what?" Qin Rilie asked.

"It's just that of the 20,000 Shanghai troops attacking Xi'an County today, only the 5,000 people led by Zhang Xiaoliu are the original main force of the Shanghai army, and the other 15,000 people are all from our people's battalion!"

Qin Rilie's face suddenly changed greatly, and the generals on the side did the same, and some people couldn't help but shout: "Bold, do you know that lying about the military situation is a capital crime!" ”

Wang Liang was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed, and defended himself: "The villain's words are true, if there is half a lie, he is willing to die!" ”

A general suddenly said: "No wonder today 20,000 Shanghai soldiers are coming to the city, but only 5,000 Shanghai troops outside the east gate have attacked, and the other Shanghai troops have not moved, it turns out that they are just laborers in the Minfu battalion, not really the main force of the Shanghai army!" ”

The other generals suddenly realized, especially Vice General Liu, hurriedly said: "The last general is also wondering, when the last general stole the camp before, the Shanghai army was extremely combative, but when he came to steal the camp for the second time, the Shanghai army was vulnerable, they didn't even know how to shoot, they were all ordinary people." Now it seems that what Wang Liang said is true, there is no Shanghai army in this camp at all, but a man pretending to be a man! ”

Everyone was silent for a moment, the question is, the Shanghai army here is all fake, so where are the real 20,000 Shanghai troops.

Qin Rilie is the younger brother of Qin Rigang, the king of Yan, who has been on the battlefield for a long time and suddenly realized.

"Not good! We've been tricked! Evacuate! ”

Just when Qin Rilie realized that he had been tricked, on a hill two miles away from the camp, Li Weiguo stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the Shanghai army camp in the distance, which had burned half of the sky.

"It's time to order the commanders of the various units to start collecting the nets!"

"Yes! My lord! ”

The herald took a salute from his bosom, lit it with a fire breaker, and pointed it at the dark sky.

Knock-click!

The fireworks burst out in the dark, and they could be seen clearly within a radius of more than ten miles. The 20,000 main forces of the Shanghai army, which had already secretly moved to the vicinity, began to act one after another, and they surrounded the large battalion of the Shanghai army, built tens of thousands of sandbags that had been prepared long ago into a protective wall, and deployed artillery in the middle to surround them with horses.

As soon as the 20,000 Shanghai troops completed the encirclement, Qin Rilie led more than 2,000 iron cavalry to break through.

"Fire!"

At the sound of an order, dozens of artillery pieces of the Shanghai army fired a salvo. The muzzle of the cannon shone brightly, like a fire spirit in the dark, revealing incomparable terror.

Knock knock!

The cannon roared like thunder.

Shells shot into the sky, drawing bright parabolas in the dark night sky, screaming and smashing at the Taiping army.

Boom!

The shell exploded the moment it landed, and the ground shook in an instant, flames rose into the air, and fragments of the explosion shot in all directions. The cavalry of the Iron Bear Battalion, which was breaking through, was suddenly hit violently, and one person was blown up.

The neighing of the horses and the uncontrolled rampage under artillery fire threw the already regular cavalry shock formation into a mess.

"Don't mess around! Don't panic! Rush me! ”

Qin Rilie gritted his teeth and roared. He was already panicked in his heart, he knew that he had been tricked tonight, and the two thousand iron cavalry were surrounded by 20,000 Shanghai troops, and there was very little hope of breaking through.

Qin Rilie was unwilling. He couldn't figure it out, and with Mr. Liao's resourcefulness, he set up a series of schemes. was even able to be seen through by Li Weiguo, not only did he not succeed, but he fell into Li Weiguo's plan.

It is said that there are people outside the world, and Qin Rilie can be regarded as a leader at this moment, but there is no regret medicine in this world, and the tuition fee this time is too much, I am afraid that even my own life will have to be taken.

"Vice General Liu, you take a thousand cavalry to break through to the left flank!"

At the critical moment, Qin Rilie was still very military-minded, he knew that he was going to break his wrist for a strong man, so he ordered Vice General Liu to lead people to break through to the left flank, which was actually to let Vice General Liu go to death, attract the firepower of the Shanghai army, and cover Qin Rilie to break through from the other side.

Vice General Liu did not hesitate, and immediately led a thousand iron cavalry to the left flank, while Qin Rilie led the remaining more than 1,000 cavalry to the right flank.

It's just that the theory is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. Qin Rilie thought that he would be able to break through in this way, but he didn't know that Li Weiguo had gone to such great lengths to lay out such a big game, how could he easily let Qin Rilie escape.

Whether it was Vice General Liu or Qin Rilie, when they led the cavalry to forcibly break through the range of the Shanghai army's artillery attack, they were all dumbfounded when they saw the temporary protective wall composed of sandbags and horse rejection of the Shanghai army in front.

"Horse next door! How to rush through! ”

Qin Rilie scolded and immediately slowed down his horse's speed.

It's just that the other cavalrymen of the Iron Bear Battalion did not receive any orders, so they could only rush forward.

Bang bang bang!

At this moment, the Shanghai soldiers behind the protective wall opened fire.

But seeing rows of fires shining and countless projectiles shooting, in an instant, a large number of cavalry of the Iron Bear Battalion were shot and fell off their horses.

In the dark, the Hu, wearing sunglasses, opened fire, and the muzzle flame had no effect on their eyes. But the Taiping army on the opposite side was different, their men and horses could not adapt to the sudden flash of fire in the dark, which made their eyes blur in an instant, especially the war horses, panicked and collided, causing the entire cavalry formation to be chaotic.

In just a few tens of meters, for the battle-hardened cavalry of the Iron Bear Battalion, it turned out to be an insurmountable moat, and it was also a blockade line of death.

Countless rays of light came, Qin Rilie's eyes were dazzled, and his chest was suddenly hit by a lead bullet, his heart and lungs were instantly shattered, and his body was planted on the horse.

In the end, more than 1,000 elite iron cavalry, most of them died on the way to charge, and only a few lucky cavalry rushed to the protective wall, but unfortunately they were either stopped by the rejected horses, or they were stabbed to death with bayonets by the soldiers of the Shanghai army.

At the same time, on the other side, Vice General Liu's 1,000 iron cavalry also ended up in the same way, how could only 2,000 iron cavalry break through the iron wall of 20,000 Shanghai troops, and the final result could only be the annihilation of the entire army. (To be continued......)
