"Newspaper—"

"Report to the three prime ministers and the two military marshals that Fengyang East found that the cavalry troops of the Qing army have been marching towards Fengyang quickly!"

In the temporary residence of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Taiping Army in Fengyang City, Lin Fengxiang, deputy prime minister of the Heavenly Palace, Li Kaifang, prime minister of the underground palace, Ji Wenyuan, deputy prime minister of the Spring Palace, Hong Xuanjiao, the military commander, Su Sanniang, and others were discussing the military, and they became nervous after hearing the report.

Ji Wenyuan took the lead and said: "I didn't expect the officers and soldiers to chase after me so quickly!" ”

"Don't rush to conclusions yet, ask clearly!" Lin Fengxiang comforted everyone and asked the sentry, "Do you know who is in command of the Qing cavalry team and how many people there are?" What kind of weapons are you holding? ”

The sentry recalled: "The speed of the opponent's cavalry is too fast, the villain does not dare to approach to reconnoitre, they did not play the flag, but the opponent's military uniform seems to be the uniform of the Shanghai army, all carrying foreign guns, about more than 1,000 people." ”

"How can it be the Shanghai Army?"

"What are they doing here?"

"What does Li Weiguo want to do?"

Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, Ji Wenyuan, Hong Xuanjiao, and Su Sanniang, who were all present here, knew the secret agreement between the Taiping Army and the Shanghai Army, and were very sensitive and puzzled by the sudden appearance of Li Weiguo's Shanghai Army in Jiangbei.

"Do you need to ask?" Hong Xuanjiao snorted coldly: "It must be Li Weiguo's treachery and tearing up the secret agreement with us, and now our army is on the Northern Expedition, and Li Weiguo has taken the opportunity to copy our back road!" ”

"If that's the case, his heart can be punished!" Ji Wenyuan immediately chimed in.

Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang glanced at each other, both frowning tightly and their expressions solemn.

Only Su Sanniang was thoughtful, she and Li Weiguo often exchanged letters secretly, knowing that Li Weiguo was ambitious, and it was impossible for him to turn his face with the Taiping Army at this time, so he said: "Maybe Brother Weiguo happened to pass through Fengyang on an important matter!" ”

"Brother Wei Guoxian?" Hong Xuanjiao sneered and said angrily: "I forgot." Our Su Junshuai and this Li Weiguo and Master Li are sisters and brothers who have worshiped the master. ”

"I'm just talking about things!" Su Sanniang suddenly frowned and said, she has always been very disgusted with Hong Xuanjiao, because Hong Xuanjiao often troubles her with nothing, it used to be because Xiao Chaogui was jealous, and then Xiao Chaogui died, and Hong Xuanjiao was wronged by Li Weiguo, so she has been angry with Su Sanniang and has always been her enemy.

Lin Fengxiang saw that the second daughter was about to fight again, and hurriedly said: "What the two of you said makes sense, let's send someone to ask clearly." ”

Li Kaifang also nodded in agreement. So he sent for an inquiry.

Soon, the news came back that Li Weiguo was just borrowing the road to pass through Fengyang, and he had to go to Buyang, the capital of Yingzhou, in order to avoid misunderstandings, hoping that the Taiping army would get out of the checkpoints along the way.

"How does this work?" Hong Xuanjiao suddenly objected: "Let go of the checkpoint, what if it is occupied by Li Weiguo?" ”

Ji Wenyuan immediately echoed: "That's right! Once you lose the checkpoints along the way, it is equivalent to cutting off the back road of our army. Our army is on the Northern Expedition, and it won't be long before the King of Heaven will send a second army to support. If the checkpoint is lost, and the Second Route Army cannot support us, then we will be alone in the depths, and there will be no place to bury. ”

Li Kaifang also said: "It is indeed very risky! You must know that the Qing army in the Jiangbei camp has been successfully lured out of the lair by us. is rushing to Fengyang, and the Qing troops from all over the surrounding areas are also gathering, intending to encircle and annihilate our Northern Expeditionary Army. We're alone. ”

Lin Fengxiang turned to Su Sanniang and asked, "What do you mean, Su Junshuai?" ”

Su Sanniang looked at everyone's expressions, and then said, "I believe in the words of Brother Wei Guoxian." After all, he only brought a thousand cavalry, and he didn't bring artillery or heavy supplies, and it would be an exaggeration to say that he was here to attack us. ”

Lin Fengxiang nodded, Su Sanniang's words were not unreasonable, he was about to order the Taiping Army to let them go along the way, when Xi Zuo suddenly came to report.

"Newspaper—"

"News has just come from the Jiangbei camp that Li Weiguo personally led a thousand cavalry to cross the river to support the Jiangbei camp, and will join forces with Jiang Zhongyuan and other troops to encircle our Northern Expeditionary Army!"

Su Sanniang sighed suddenly, and secretly said that this news came at an inopportune time, and Lin Fengxiang, who had already been shaken, suddenly became cautious.

I only heard Lin Fengxiang shout the order: "Order, go tell Li Weiguo, let him take a detour!" If you want to speak, let's just say that we have no choice, the Qing army is about to encircle Fengyang, and we don't dare to give way to him! ”

The herald left, and Su Sanniang suddenly got up and said, "I'd better go!" ”

Lin Fengxiang didn't want to offend Li Weiguo, so he asked Su Sanniang to say that it might be more appropriate, so he nodded in agreement.

"Wait!" Hong Xuanjiao suddenly stopped: "If Li Weiguo is a little jealous of us, it is also because Su Sanniang is in our army, if Su Sanniang goes to see Li Weiguo, maybe you will be detained by Li Weiguo, and then Li Weiguo will have no scruples." Do you remember the detention of me and Liu Shaoting? There are lessons from the past, so it's better not to go to the Soviet commander! ”

Hong Xuanjiao is the prison army, and what she said is not unreasonable, after all, Li Weiguo did detain Hong Xuanjiao and Liu Shaoting as hostages, and they have a bad record, no matter how Su Sanniang explained, Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang no longer believed it, and immediately sent a small soldier to inform Li Weiguo.

Outside Luohe Town, more than 1,000 cavalry of Li Weiguo rested in place.

The Taiping army sent someone to inform Li Weiguo and ask him to take a detour.

In this regard, Li Weiguo just sneered, he had expected that with Hong Xuanjiao here, it would be difficult for the Taiping Army to lend him money.

But Li Weiguo is not afraid, to this point, he has nothing to fear, the Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha, the god blocks the gods, and no one can stop him from going to Buyang to save his woman.

Half an hour later, Li Jiajun finished resting.

Li Weiguo turned over and got on his horse, and in the face of more than 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Li family, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, you must already know that we are going to Buyang, but the Taiping army has set up a card in front to prevent us from passing. Let me tell you, my Li Weiguo's woman, Shen Ziyan Shen, was forced by her father to marry someone else, and I had to rush to rescue her before the third year of junior high school. You come and tell me, what are we going to do? ”

"Kill it! Save Madame! ”

"Kill it! Save Madame! ”

"Kill it! Save Madame! ”

……

More than 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Li family shouted in unison, and the momentum was magnificent.

Li Weiguo nodded with satisfaction and shouted, "Okay, I, Li Weiguo, thank you!" I owe you a favor this time, and there will be a good reward in the future! ”

"All of them! Target Luohe Town! Charge the whole army! ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!!"

"Kill !!"

With a thunderous roar, morale suddenly soared to the extreme.

Li Weiguo gave an order, and more than 1,000 cavalrymen of the Li family army suddenly screamed and slaughtered at the Taiping Army checkpoint in Luohe Town.

War horses neighed, and iron hooves shook the earth.

Facing the cavalry of the Li family's army, they rushed forward. Although the Taiping soldiers guarding the checkpoint of Luohe Town had been prepared, they were still taken aback by the invincible momentum of the Li family's army.

"Enemy attack!"

"Prepare for the rejection of the horse gun!"

"Archer prepare!"

……

Zhang Jun, the commander of Luohe Town, was a brigade commander of the Taiping Army, leading 500 men and horses to garrison Luohe Town and control the Luohe crossing.

In Zhang Jun's opinion, the opponent was only a thousand cavalry, and although he was equipped with foreign guns, he could not exert the power of muskets on horses, and at most he could only shoot once on horses, so he was not afraid at all. Just order your men to be careful and wait for the opposing cavalry to come within range of the archers before returning fire.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Whoosh, more than 200 feather arrows instantly threw at the galloping cavalry of the Li family, and several cavalry of the Li family army fell from their horses with arrows.

However, this could not stop the iron hooves of the Li Jiajun's charge, the cavalry was too fast, Zhang Jun's archers had just shot the first round, and the cavalry of the Li Jiajun rushed into the effective range of thirty meters.

"Shoot!"

Li Weiguo took the lead, pointed the saber in his hand at the enemy in front of him, and shouted orders.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

on horseback. The more than 200 cavalrymen of the Li family's army who rushed to the front opened fire angrily.

I saw the flickering firelight, the smoke of gunpowder spewed out, and rows of projectiles shot out, killing and injuring dozens of people on the other side in an instant.

Zhang Jun was taken aback. He fought with the Qing army's musket team, knowing that the Qing army's musket accuracy was too poor and the hit rate was too low, and a musket battle of thousands of people came down. Not many people died.

But now the opponent can kill and injure dozens of his subordinates with only the first round of shooting, and the opponent is still shooting at high speed on horseback, such marksmanship. He was shocked.

If it weren't for the fact that the combat area was too narrow, which was not conducive to the deployment of all the cavalry of the Li family's army, if the opponent's 1,000 cavalry fired a salvo of fire at the same time, then Zhang Jun's 500 men would have suffered more than half of the casualties in an instant and lost their combat effectiveness.

The shock was only for a moment, the cavalry vanguard of the Li family army had already reached more than ten meters away, Zhang Jun didn't have time to think about it, and immediately shouted: "Refuse the horse gun to meet the enemy!" ”

At the sound of an order, 200 Taiping soldiers raised their long anti-horse pistols and poked the ground in the back, the head of which stabbed outward.

They worked in pairs, carrying a thick and long repulsive rifle, and if the horses were loaded, they would have been pierced.

This is a formation specifically to deal with cavalry, Zhang Jun tried many times, and broke the cavalry charge of the Qing army several times, full of confidence.

However, the next moment, Zhang Jun was dumbfounded.

I saw Li Weiguo take the lead in taking out a Colt-style revolver from the holster on his waist and shooting continuously at the Taiping soldiers more than ten meters in front of him.

A series of six shots, without missing bullets, killed six Taiping soldiers, causing four of the groups of horse rejection guns to immediately fail (too heavy and only one person could not be lifted), and the complete defense line of the horse rejection array was instantly torn through a gap.

At the same time, the two hundred cavalrymen of the Li family army who rushed to the forefront also quickly turned their muskets backwards, took out a Colt revolver from the holster on their waists, and opened fire on the Taiping army in front of them.

Bang! Bang bang!

After a burst of gunfire, Zhang Jun's 200 soldiers were killed and wounded, and the entire horse-repulsion array was destroyed before it could play its role.

"How is this-this-how is it possible?"

Zhang Jun was dumbfounded, he had seen a firecracker, and he had seen a double-eyed firearm that could fire two shots in a row, but he had never seen a revolver that could fire six shots in a row, and his mind was blank for a while.

At this time, a cavalryman of the Li family army rushed towards Zhang Jun, and when the revolver in his hand ran out of bullets, he drew his saber and slashed down at Zhang Jun's head.

Zhang Junnai is a fierce general of the Taiping Army, although he is distracted, he is strong in martial arts, immediately shrinks his head, and at the same time swings his knife to block, and then stabs backhand.

But what made him sad was that the cavalry of the Li family army saw that Zhang Jun was not killed with a knife, and he did not love to fight, and the horse did not reduce his speed and flashed away, causing Zhang Jun to slash the air with a backhand.

At this time, a cavalryman of the Li family army rushed from behind, and also slashed at Zhang Jun with a knife. Zhang Jun had no choice but to draw his knife again and come back to block, and then wanted to kill the other party with a backhand knife, but the other party didn't love to fight and went to kill others.

Zhang Jun was very depressed, he didn't expect the cavalry of the Li family army to be so cunning.

At this time, another cavalryman rushed towards Zhang Jun, also wielding a knife to cut him.

Zhang Jun was about to block, but suddenly felt a cold in his chest, looked down, and saw that there was a bowl-sized blood hole in his chest at some point.

"Paralyzed! Who sneaked up on Lao Tzu! ”

With unwillingness, Zhang Jun stared at the ground and fell to the ground, not blinking.

It was too late to say that it was too fast, and the cavalry vanguard of the Li family army broke through the horse rejection formation and rushed directly into the enemy.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The shouts of killing came and went, and the screams were endless.

More than 1,000 cavalry rushed into the Taiping army, which only had two or three hundred people left, slashing left and right, like chopping watermelons and vegetables, and killed all these hundreds of people in the blink of an eye.

After the battle, Er Kui entered Luohe Town from the rear, looking at the corpses all over the ground, he felt creepy, the smell of blood mixed with the smell of feces and urine, which made his stomach churn violently, and he almost vomited.

After Li Weiguo comforted a few wounded and sick soldiers, he came to Erkui and saw that Erkui didn't have too much fear (too dark to see), so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Very good, it's a soldier, follow me in the future!" ”

"Thank you-thank you-great--sir-"

Erkui was slapped by Li Weiguo like this, and he couldn't help but vomit all the things in his stomach.

"Poof-" (To be continued......)
