"What?!" Zheng Chenggong was frightened by Chen Yonghua's words, "Now that the form of our army is not very good, how can it be dangerous?"

Chen Yonghua sighed and said, "General, it is this kind of thinking that brings us into danger!" ”

Zheng Chenggong said a little unkindly: "What do you say? ”

Chen Yonghua stared at Zheng Chenggong and said: "General, since our army entered Anhui, it has almost been bloodless, and it has recovered the twenty-seven cities of Sanfu in half a month. But how many Qing soldiers did we kill and how many Qing soldiers did we capture? ”

Zheng Chenggong heard and took a breath of cold air.

Yes, since the city is conquered, whether it is beheaded or captured, there should be Qing soldiers, why is it not mentioned at all in Liu Guoxuan's letter?

Zheng Chenggong began to worry at this time, he arched his hand and said: "Fufu, it is clear but there are negligence, please tell me bluntly!" ”

Chen Yonghua's face softened, "Not only the general, but also the Tao." At first, I thought it was the Qing soldiers in those cities who saw that the situation was not good and ran away. It wasn't until we captured Anqing that we still didn't see many Qing soldiers that I understood that we had been tricked. There were capable people in the Qing army, knowing that the city could not be defended, so they simply gave up automatically and gathered the defenders. On the contrary, our army, in order to defend those cities, has less than 2,000 and more than 5,000. Now our army has grown from 120,000 troops to only 60,000 strong. “

Zheng Chenggong listened to Chen Yonghua's explanation, and sweated profusely down his forehead drop by drop, sweating profusely.

Zheng Chenggong said anxiously: "What should our army do now? ”

Chen Yonghua said worriedly: "I'm still too young, if Mr. Yao Xizhi is here, I will definitely be able to see the enemy's plan in advance." What our army can do now is to rush back to Baoqing as soon as possible, defend the city, and at the same time send people to gather soldiers before they can fight! ”

When Zheng Chenggong heard that he didn't care about anything else, he hurriedly drank: "The three armies stop advancing!" The former army changed to the rear army, the rear army became the front army, and the whole army marched to change the goal and return to Baoqing City! ”

Hearing the order, Zheng Jiajun stopped advancing, turned around and walked back slowly.

Before he could take a few steps, Zheng Chenggong felt a slight tremor in the earth.

Zheng Chenggong, who has been fighting for a long time, will not think that the earthquake is coming, this is the ground shaking that can only be achieved by large-scale cavalry running.

At this time, the spies wandering in the rear also hurried back and shouted: "General, there is a Manchu army in the rear that is killing our army, and the enemy's speed is very fast, I am afraid that we will be able to catch up with our army in only a quarter of an hour." ”

Damn, woe doesn't go alone.

At this time, it was too late to run, Zheng Chenggong gritted his teeth and shouted: "Stop retreating, stop retreating, the three armies are in formation, array!" ”

The heralds ran back and forth on their horses, shouting loudly: "The general has an order, and the three armies are in formation!" The three armies are in formation! The three armies are in formation! ”

Although the soldiers of the Zheng family army are not clear, why the military order changed so quickly.

But since the military order is given, the soldiers follow the order.

Zheng Jiajun quickly lined up in formation and waited for the enemy army in accordance with the drill code.

The sound of horses' hooves grew louder and louder, and the ground shook more and more violently.

Zheng Chenggong held up his glasses in the Chinese army and saw that the Qing army was starting with more than 10,000 cavalry and was killing this side.

The sand and dust rolled up by the army rolled in like an earth dragon.

Strangely, these Manchu cavalrymen did not know what to wield in their hands?

The war horses soared, and soon they were more than 1,000 meters away from the Zheng family's army.

Zheng Chenggong hurriedly waved his hand and shouted: "Open the cannon!" ”

Hundreds of cannons fired in unison, boom boom......

Every shell that fell on the Qing cavalry brought a large number of casualties to the Qing soldiers, and the war horses were frightened and went on a rampage.

Many cavalry of the Qing army were directly blown apart by men and horses.

The cavalry of the Qing army was not intimidated by the artillery fire of the Zheng family, and was not afraid in the face of the hundreds of artillery pieces of the Zheng army.

Seeing that the Qing army would not retreat, Zheng Chenggong rode on horseback and brandished a big knife, shouting: "Don't stop, kill Lao Tzu, kill those Qing dogs!" ”

The gunners skillfully cleared, loaded, and fired.

The muzzle of the cannon roared, and thick smoke came out.

Today it was a southwest wind, and a light breeze was blowing. The black smoke was not blown away, but instead let it rewind and permeate the Zheng army's position.

Most of the Zheng Jiajun were shrouded in this puff of black smoke, and many of them were choked by the black smoke and only coughed......

To make matters worse, visibility was so low in the smoke that the artillery could not see clearly, and the artillery ceased fire for a while.

Seeing that the damned artillery stopped, Aobai, who was at the forefront, shouted loudly: "Sons, kill with me!" ”

In order to survive, the Manchu cavalry was desperately whipping their horses.

The wounded horses rushed forward desperately.

Listening to the shouts of the Qing army close at hand, Zheng Chenggong couldn't care about coughing anymore, and hurriedly shouted: "The ironclad army stepped forward, the musketeers opened fire, and the Qing army must not be allowed to rush in!" ”

Hearing the order, the ironclad army, who had been waiting in formation early in the morning, dropped their iron masks, clenched their swords in both hands, and stepped forward step by step.

The raised blade is like a mountain of knives, tearing the enemy in front of it to pieces.

The ironclads have not yet fought, and the musketeers have already opened fire.

There was a popping sound, and the Qing cavalry who were shot fell down like dumplings and were trampled to death by the war horse.

Ao Bai was shot three times in his body, and his body was stained with blood, and he didn't care about the wounds on his body, and shouted: "Die! ”

As he spoke, he threw the thing that he had been waving in his hand at Zheng Jiajun vigorously.

Something smashed on the head of an ironclad soldier, smashing him dizzy.

The thing fell to the ground and rolled around a few times, and there was a fire at one end.

The ironclad army couldn't help but look down at the item, a round bullet body was tied with a thick hemp rope, a bit of ancient Chinese meteor hammer.

It's just that one end is still smoking, much like the grenade used by our army!

Hand grenade?!

Before the ironclads could react, the flaming horsetail grenade exploded with a bang.

Under the action of the huge shock wave, hundreds of fragmented steel balls flew in all directions.

Even the soldiers in iron armor fell to the ground with several steel balls in their bodies under the impact of this explosion.

Many of them even bleed from their facial features and were directly shocked to death.

The ironclad army was unprepared for a moment, and the dense formation was loosened in an explosion.

The cavalry of the Qing army took advantage of the situation to rush in, and the front army of the Zheng family army suddenly fell into a burst of chaos.

Warm blood sprayed on Aobai's body, and his murderous face was even more vicious like a ghost.

"Kill!"

Ao Bai roared, and the saber in his hand slashed down.

People borrow horses, and swords borrow manpower.

With a soft click, one of the current Ironclad soldiers had his head cut off.

"Kill!"

The cavalry of the Qing army who followed and rushed in was also fierce, the swords were fatal, and the men and horses rushed over, leaving only a corpse in one place, and not a single living person was missing.

Seeing the Qing cavalry wantonly slaughtering their own soldiers, Zheng Chenggong's eyes shattered, and he shouted desperately: "Give me the Iron Cavalry Town, you must block the Qing army for me." Above! (To be continued.) )
