The number of 5,000 ironclad troops is too small to cover such a large defensive area.

"Dashan, take the tiger guard camp, you must not let the Qing army rush over!" Zheng Chenggong's eyes flashed sharply, and he ordered Zhang Dashan, who had been holding on in front of him, without looking back.

"General, the Tiger Guard Battalion has gone, who will protect your safety." Zhang Dashan said anxiously.

"As long as you can hold off the enemy, I'm not in danger!" Zheng Chenggong said lightly, and then waved his hand slightly, "Dashan, go!" ”

"No!" Zhang Dashan responded angrily to the order, bowed and saluted, and strode away.

The soldiers of the Tiger Guard Battalion are all carefully selected from the Zheng family's army, and in addition to swearing allegiance to the death, the force is also first-class.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were still many ironclad troops in front, the Tiger Guards rushed over and stabbed the horses from the side.

Swords, guns, swords, and halberds roared in the cold wind, and stumps and severed arms flew in the light of blood, and the blood added another layer of red and red carpet to the already red-stained earth. The furious shouts shook the heavens and the earth.

Nearly 10,000 Tiger Guard battalions were killed, and the ragged defense line was immediately reorganized.

The defense line was stabilized, and the archers in the Zheng family's army were under Wan Li's order.

"Woo...... Instigate...... Instigate......! "The arrows were like locusts, endlessly, covering the Qing cavalry flying towards the flying one after another.

As the distance approached, the arrow became stronger and stronger.

When the two armies were about 200 paces apart, they could even directly nail the Qing cavalry off their horses, and after many horses were hit by two or three arrows at the same time, the huge horse body was also shot upright, and then fell down heavily.

Looking at the Zheng family's army swearing to fight to the death, there were signs of beating the Qing army back.

Hong Chengchou also knows that the current competition between the two armies is perseverance, and whoever can't support it first will lose the war, and even lose the southern belonging.

Hong Chengchou also ignored his old age and decrepitude, and rode on horseback and shouted desperately: "Kill the past, kill the past, as long as we kill Zheng Chenggong, we will win!" ”

"Who can kill Zheng Chenggong, the official will be promoted to the third level, and the reward will be ten thousand taels of gold!"

"Kill! Zheng Jiajun didn't have many soldiers and horses left, so he killed them all. ”

……

With the excitement of rewards, coupled with the numerical advantage of the Qing army, the Zheng family's dense defense of the periphery of the town was thinned layer by layer.

Seeing the Qing army approaching step by step, Wang Zhongxiao and the others were anxious.

"Now the situation is tense, general, once you have something, the whole battle situation will definitely be bad......" Wang Zhongxiao excitedly pulled Zheng Chenggong's war horse, wanting to pull him to retreat, and advised as he walked, "Please also ask the general to focus on the overall situation!" ”

"General, what Wang Shangshu said is exact!" Gu Chaojian stood up and said angrily, "The general has the important task of saving the people from fire and water, and he can't be dragged here. Please retreat with the cavalry as soon as possible, and the lower officials are willing to lead the foot soldiers behind the palace. ”

"Please take the overall situation first!" After a while, other civil officials also tried hard to persuade Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong shouted angrily, "Whoever dares to retreat again, behead!" The Zheng family's army is fighting here to the death, and I hope that the generals will move forward bravely and fight to the death! ”

Zheng Chenggong jumped off the war horse, kicked the drum to order the soldiers, and beat the war drum vigorously in a crazy way.

Zhou Quanbin, who has always been in the rear army, is young and vigorous, and he is the most unprovoked, he threw his helmet on the ground, "Fight to the death and not retreat!" ”

After speaking, he led his subordinates and killed the Qing army all over the mountain.

I saw the general beating the drum himself.

"Kill!" The soldiers of the Zheng family army roared angrily, and a roar with a strong fighting intent rose into the sky.

Countless knives and spears were raised high, and then slashed and stabbed forward. In an instant, hot blood splattered, staining the earth and the bodies of the soldiers on both sides......

The soldiers of the Zheng Jiajun and the Qing army were red-eyed, and they fought desperately to death. On the battlefield where flesh and blood are blurred, swords are flying, spears are roaring, and horses are neighing.

The piercing sound of gold and iron from thousands of weapons striking each other with maximum strength, the roar of tens of thousands of soldiers in battle, the sound of thick and fierce war drums, the roar of bull's horns, and the wails of wounded and painful ...... A wide variety of sounds mingle in the north wind. Miles, if not decades, of miles away can be heard these powerful sounds.

After beating the drum desperately for an hour, Zheng Chenggong's hands were so sore that he couldn't hold the drum hammer anymore.

His hands trembled, Zheng Chenggong didn't dare to stop, he was afraid that once he stopped, the momentum of the Zheng family's army would be gone.

Every time he was tired and about to fall, Zheng Chenggong bit the tip of his tongue and used a fierce sting to prevent himself from fainting.

The drums continued, and with the encouragement of the drums, the soldiers of the Zheng family knew that the general had not given up yet, and they were also persevering.

At this time, the artillery had already blown up because of the continuous firing.

There was no artillery, and the artillerymen didn't say a word, picked up the broadsword and killed the Qing soldiers.

Inspired by the courage of many generals, the soldiers of the Zheng family fought bravely to the death, and slowly reversed the tide of the battle.

The ironclad army that rushed to the forefront fought fiercely for an hour, and the five thousand ironclad soldiers used their broadswords to kill all the way, corpses, stumps, bloody ground, broken flags, and dead horses, turning this place into a slaughterhouse.

The blood of more than 30,000 Qing soldiers stained the land, and the dizzying bloody aura did not dissipate for two months.

Until the last soldier of the Ironclad Army was stabbed to death by three or four soldiers of the Qing Army, not a single soldier of the Ironclad Army took a step back, not a single step!

They defend their glory with their blood!

They carried out their promise with their lives - to fight to the death!

The Iron Army's army was completely wiped out, and the musketeers, who had been hiding behind the strongest shields, had no time to reload and shoot calmly at this time.

The musketeers drew bayonets that had been trained for a long time, but had never been used on the battlefield, and mounted them on the muzzle.

Under the leadership of He Wenxing, he fearlessly killed the Qing army.

Crazy fighting, flying knives and guns, whistling arrows, manic roars, miserable wails......

The thick bloody aura rose to the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and the two armies suffered more than 60,000 casualties for three hours.

The Qing army was like the angry waves of the vast ocean beating over again and again, and the Zheng Jiajun was like a solid stone that always held on.

Several times, the Qing army was killed in front of Zheng Chenggong, but they were all in vain under the desperate struggle of the Zheng family's army.

The fighting continues, both armies are struggling to support, and neither is willing to give up. Giving up means failure, it means death!

The sun has sunk in the west, and the remnant sun is like blood!

As the twilight grew, the fight continued. At the most critical moment of the battle, it is not only the outnumbering of troops and the tenacity of combat power that are tested, but also the willpower of people......

The two armies were anxious, and the number of deaths on both sides was increasing, but the Zheng army was small in number, and the balance of the situation was slowly tilting towards the side of the Qing army.

Zheng Chenggong was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

The soldiers who could fight all went into battle, and in the end, even the civil officials Chen Yonghua, Wang Zhongxiao and others had to come forward with swords to fight the Qing soldiers.

Zheng Jiajun, everyone was gritting their teeth and holding on to the last breath.

The only thing Zheng Chenggong can do now is gritted his teeth and continues to beat the drum desperately to motivate the soldiers to persevere.

"Kill! Fight the enemy! ......"Hong Chengchou is an old man in his 60s, and he has been fighting for many years, and his health has long been inferior to before.

Now under tremendous pressure, tensing his nerves continuously, and shouting loudly for more than three hours, Hong Chengchou could no longer hold on, his voice was hoarse, his eyes were spinning, and he fainted and fell to the ground from the horse.

A group of guards hurriedly surrounded him, this one pinched people, and the other one held his sleeve and fanned it vigorously......

Seeing Hong Chengchou fall from his horse, no matter what the reason, Chen Yonghua, who realized that this was an opportunity, shouted desperately, "Hong Chengchou is dead!" The Qing army lord will be killed, the Qing army is defeated, the Qing army is defeated......"

Hearing Chen Yonghua's shout, the other soldiers of the Zheng family army shouted regardless of it, "The Qing army is defeated, Hong Chengchou is dead!" ”

Hearing the shouts of the Zheng family's army, many Qing soldiers couldn't help but look back, and sure enough, they didn't see the figure of Hong Chengchou, the commander of the Qing army, and his personal guards were surrounding the commander's horse at this time.

The Qing army panicked, the scene that happened in front of them was so shocking that in their minds, in addition to panic, they were still panicked, and some people even began to shout loudly.

The chaos on the battlefield has attracted the attention of the surrounding soldiers, and the news of the death of the commander Hong Chengchou spread throughout the army like a prairie fire.

The morale of the Zheng family's army, which was desperate, was furious, and they launched a crazy counterattack, outnumbering the crowd and repelling the Qing army.

The soldiers of the Qing army, who lost their souls, reduced their combat effectiveness from full value to zero almost instantly.

Run, flee, flee back to your own home; Hide away from this fierce guy and hide as far away as possible!

The Qing soldiers who fled from the city soon caused a complete rout of the Qing army!

"Don't run, don't retreat!" Aobai, who was leading the Qing cavalry to kill, brandished a broadsword.

slashed and killed one after another rout, and roared hoarsely, "Old man Hong is not dead, it is all the tricks of the enemy army, it is the trick of the enemy army, and you are not allowed to escape!" ”

Ao Bai cut down again, but unfortunately not many Han soldiers in the defeated Qing army were not willing to obey his orders at all, and they all took care of fleeing for their lives. (To be continued.) )
