Chapter Twenty-Five—Defeat

After Li Xiucheng successfully broke through, he recalled the days in the capital these days. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was almost like a dream, and he actually broke through the city of Beijing.

and forced away the emperor and the queen mother, as well as the princes and ministers of the city.

Thinking of this, I just got excited, but I saw the remnants walking in front of me.

In an instant, all the good mood is gone!

The soldiers of the Taiping Army, when they escaped from the city of Beijing, everyone had more or less on their bodies.

brought a large amount of treasure, so even if the army is defeated and on the way to flee now, everyone is excited.

The whole team of deserters was full of chatter.

At this time, Li Xiucheng arranged the troops behind the break.

They all ran to the front, and Li Xiucheng chuckled in his heart.

Immediately stopped the two deserters who fled, and the two Taiping deserters were about to draw their knives.

Seeing that it was the new Heavenly King Li Xiucheng, he hurriedly knelt down and said that the Heavenly King, and the Qing army chased after him, and the mountains and fields were full of people, and the lowly people had to run as a last resort.

In fact, there was no need for them to pass on the news at this time, because Li Xiucheng had already heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, which was coming from behind.

It turned out that as soon as Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang saw the Taiping Army breaking through, they immediately gave up the capital and did not enter, and immediately organized cavalry to chase after them.

Although the cavalry troops chased too fast and were burned to death, there were still tens of thousands of cavalry left.

It can definitely teach the fleeing Taiping army a good lesson.

As for Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang organized the infantry behind, and those who hurried over also chased after him.

Li Xiucheng knew that the tens of thousands of cavalry behind him were pursuing, and if he didn't organize people to cut off the rear, I was afraid that this trip to the capital would be in vain.

It's just that now the army is in chaos, just when he himself made up his mind to lead the troops to break off.

Finally, there were still a few bloody people in the Taiping Army, and they immediately asked Li Xiucheng to take him first.

Yang Desheng, originally a small leader of the Shandong Twist Army, when Li Xiucheng came to Shandong to take over the Twist Army, he took the lead to take refuge in Li Xiucheng.

Relying on the advantage of being the leading party, he was quickly promoted,

After that, Li Xiucheng led him into the capital again, in the siege battle of those days.

Yang Desheng fought bravely to be the first, and even was the first to rush to the city wall next to Yongding Gate in Beijing.

was quite appreciated by Li Xiucheng, and this time seeing that Li Xiucheng was in trouble, he couldn't help but take the initiative to stand up immediately.

recruited about 8,000 people from his headquarters, and after Li Xiucheng broke off,

Although Li Xiucheng was dragged away by his subordinates, this time he wisely put a lot of scouts behind.

Yang Desheng said to the rebels, what is for the king, for the peace or something.

Almost all of them were transmitted to Li Xiucheng word for word, and Lao Li couldn't help but sigh.

There is still loyalty in this world, and I was almost moved to tears.

Of course, this is all a performance, and he also knows that Yang Desheng's 8,000 people can't stop the Qing army for long.

Therefore, he immediately ordered the generals at all levels to restrain the soldiers into six routes.

Fleeing outward, it is all the way to escape, as for the road that was caught up by the cavalry units of the Qing army.

Then you can only blame your ancestors for not blessing them, and Yang Desheng, who took the initiative to lead the troops into battle, of course also knew it.

As soon as this battle began, his 8,000 men and horses were gone.

But he also calculated that as long as Li Xiucheng could break through.

Then his name as a loyal minister of Yang Desheng will definitely be remembered by Li Xiucheng.

Even if he only runs to Li Xiucheng's side, will his future be small?

Not to mention that he and Li Xiucheng had their own little calculations, chasing the Qing cavalry troops behind.

I found that there was a small army of less than 10,000 people in front of me, and I dared to block in the middle of the main road.

Immediately brandished his saber and rushed forward, trying to call these southern barbarians.

Knowing that the Jurchen is not ten thousand, and the ten thousand are invincible, the true meaning of this sentence.

It's a pity that they are no longer their ancestors, and the Mini guns of 10,000 people on the other side.

Although it is not comparable to the infantry units behind the Qing army, the rear loading gun.

However, against the cavalry that rushed over, as long as the mood was stable, there was still at least a chance to fire five or six shots.

So these dreams are still in the era of wild boar skins, Manchurian cavalry,

was cut off by the Taiping army on the opposite side, thousands of Mini guns were taught a lesson.

The cavalry of the Qing army waved their sabers one by one, and only wanted to put the front, standing on the avenue and the slopes on both sides.

The heads of the Taiping traitors were cut off, but they suddenly saw a puff of green smoke floating in front of them.

Immediately after that, the sound of fried beans came, and at the same time, the thousands of people who rushed in front suddenly had a stomachache.

En masse fell from their horses, in front of tens of thousands of cavalry running at high speed.

Suddenly falling off the horse, this consequence, you don't have to think about it.

Even if there are many children of Eight Banners who were not killed by Minnie's gun, they were only injured.

The cavalry, who were also closely following and charged, trampled to death.

And the cavalry in the back did not know what happened to the cavalry in front.

Still rushing forward frantically, until the second row, the gunshots rang out.

The Manchurian cavalry reacted that there was an abnormal situation in front, after all, the sound of thousands of horses galloping at the beginning had already suppressed the sound of gunfire in the front row.

It's a pity that at this time, he and they reflected it, and it was too late.

Two rounds of gunfire rang out, and nearly 10,000 people were killed and wounded by the Taiping army.

Even if they didn't die, the Manchu cavalry were trampled to death by their own brothers.

I saw that the originally large-scale Manchu cavalry was in front, and suddenly a piece was missing from the front.

At this time, Yang Desheng immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare to shoot for the third time.

At this time, the Qing soldiers had already rushed to a distance of only one or two hundred meters away from Yang Desheng.

And some Taiping soldiers were so nervous that they didn't even know how to load ammunition.

Some of the Taiping soldiers were already frightened by the sound of thousands of horses galloping.

He stood there stunned, not even knowing the charge of the Minnie rifle in his hand.

Originally, if this continued, the Taiping soldiers would soon have to pay the price of blood.

As a result, the Manchu cavalry on the opposite side was fired by two rounds of gunfire in front.

frightened the courage, originally the cavalry had to rely on the charge to win.

As long as they hold on for another minute or two, they can rush into the Taiping army.

Kill and kill, and victory will be theirs.

However, they stopped and pulled the reins of their horses, and they all hesitated.

The generals who let the leader of the team keep shouting and shouting, asking people to rush with them.

Helplessly, these are gone, their ancestors are bloody Manchurian cavalry.

For the general to say that the musket on the opposite side is not allowed to open the third round.

The collective that will be skeptical is there, you look at me, I hope you just refuse to take the lead in the charge.

And when the cavalry generals finally put the cavalry in order and prepared to charge again.

The Taiping army on the opposite side had also been sorted out by Yang Desheng and loaded the third bullet.

In order to give the cavalry behind him the confidence to charge the opposite side.

The general who led the team, dressed in three layers of armor, stood at the front of the cavalry ranks.

He thought well in his heart, as long as he was beaten again, this round of gunfire of the Taiping Army,

With only a distance of more than 100 paces in front of them, the cavalry could immediately rush into their formation.

Then it will be time for the Iron Rider to be behind me.

It's a pity that he underestimated the power of the Mini rifle at close range, when he had just blown the horn.

The Taiping army fired again, this round of guns, because the clothes he was wearing were the most conspicuous.

Standing in the front row, there were at least a few hundred, rifles aimed at him.

Wearing three layers of armor, he was very complacent, but he was trampled under the feet of the Manchu cavalry who ran.

And because he was wearing three layers of iron armor, it was impossible for him to stand up after being knocked off his horse.

This time, the Manchu cavalry once again dropped thousands of corpses.

But because it was too close to the Taiping army, the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry had already rushed into the Taiping army's position before they could even wait for them.

Naturally, everything went without saying, although the Taiping soldiers still put bayonets on the Minnie rifles, they were still one-sided by the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry.

It was wiped out like chopping melons and vegetables.

As for Yang Desheng, it was long after the Taiping army had just fired the third shot.

The old boy immediately climbed on his horse and ran, being a veteran oilman, he knew what he was in and what he was 100 paces away from the cavalry.

This meant that the cavalryman's saber was almost on his neck.

How could a general like him, who started out as a speculator, put himself in danger?

Even if you have to be in danger, you have to get back enough benefits.

And this time, he managed to run away again, and waited until he went back to find Li Xiucheng

Needless to say, at least the thousands of people he fought out.

Li Xiucheng will definitely return it to him three times or five times, and he can also leave the impression of a loyal minister in Lingxiucheng's heart, which is called Jian Zaidi's heart.

In the future, the advantage will be great, and the Manchurian cavalry will break through Yang Desheng's soldiers and horses.

continued to pursue Li Xiucheng's troops, but because of Yang Desheng, this sniper kung fu.

Li Xiucheng had already divided the troops into six groups and fled for his life, and the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry chased them to the location where the Taiping army was divided.

The collective was dumbfounded, not knowing that it was time to chase all the way, so they fought for a long time in the place where the Taiping Army divided its troops.

In fact, since the hereditary replacement, the ******** monk Grinqin died.

The cavalry of Manchu Mongolia seemed to have lost their backbone, just as in history.

Gradually, it is declining, and the sequelae are now manifested.

Neither of them obeys anyone, and they have been in this small place where the Taiping army divides its troops,

quarreled with each other, and even almost drew a knife against each other, until Zuo Zongtang heard the abnormal situation in front of him,

The horses hurried up to stop the internal fighting of the Manchurian cavalry.

For the infighting of the Manchurian cavalry, Zuo Zongtang actually had no choice.

had to rely on the names of the governors of Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces to forcibly suppress them.

Then let the cavalry chase down from the main road as much as possible to recover the treasures transported by the Taiping army.

For this task, the Manchu cavalry was very interested, and they rushed to the main road one by one.

When Zuo Zongtang saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head, this is still my Qing Dynasty!

An undefeated Iron Rider?

Zuo Zongtang expelled these thoughts of disloyalty and filial piety from his mind,

Reinvigorated his spirits, he left a messenger to deliver a message to Li Hongzhang, and he himself led a relatively small number of infantry,

chased the Taiping army thieves who took the small road, and as for the other roads, they were handed over to Li Hongzhang, who had a heavy army.

And when the so-called Manchurian and Mongolian iron horsemen, they quickly caught up with the vehicles of the Taiping army in front of them.

The soldiers of the Taiping Army escorted by the car dispersed in a hurry, and the Manchurian and Mongolian iron horsemen did not chase after them.

Instead, they all rushed up, but they almost fought for the carriage left by the Taiping army.

As a result, in the middle of the fight, someone inadvertently lifted the cloth on it,

Nima, with stones and sand underneath, the Manchu cavalry did not believe that this was the result.

and lifted all the cars, and now their hearts were half cold,

Of course, Li Xiucheng would not be so stupid and put grain and jewelry on the carriage,

After all, he did not have cavalry, while the Manchus had cavalry,

He had already had all the food distributed to every fleeing soldier.

Can you escape one is one, as for the treasure? Of course, they were scattered to his cronies' troops and taken away for him!
