Behind the large cavalry force of the Qing army, the same dense sound of horse hooves came, and it was Gu Ping who led the cavalry troops of the personal guard battalion to kill. In the direction of their east gate, they appeared behind the ass of the Qing army. In this way, the pressure on the Qing army is even heavier. But at this time, Le Erjin had not yet received the news, and his attention was attracted by the horsetail army in the woods in front of him. As he was running, he heard the sound of horsetail rifle shooting in front of him, and at the same time he sensed that something was wrong, his eyes kept flickering, and his face was faintly distorted.

Due to the relatively scattered ranks of the cavalry units of the Guards Battalion, it would be impossible for Gu Ping to lead all the more than 400 cavalry to chase to the front. However, on the east side of the gate, according to Gu Ping's previous deployment, in the east direction, that is, in the woods to the east, there is still a battalion of army soldiers in ambush. Moreover, they were the main force that killed and injured the Qing army. Although there were only more than 400 cavalry troops in the Guards Battalion, they were not afraid. Because, more than 400 of them, they are the elite of the elite, and they are still chasing the defeated soldiers who have lost their courage.

During the pursuit, Gu Ping looked at the surrounding situation and ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately give the order, the first and second squadrons are still rushing head-on, and the third and fourth squadrons are copied from the left and right respectively, what about the prepared grenades?" Throw them all out for me, but be careful. Be careful not to injure yourself by mistake! ”

Hear the command. Several other squadron leaders shouted yes. At the same time, the leader of the first squadron also shouted fiercely: "My team is on the front." The power of the frontal attack grenade must be a little greater, hahaha, Tartars, grandpa is here! ”

The second squadron leader not far away also responded loudly: "Zha his son of a bitch!" ”

Gu Ping also nodded when he heard it and said, "Do it well!" ”

The two squadron leaders on the other side also immediately shouted: "! ”

After that, the cavalry teams of each department once again clamped the belly of the horse, and the leader of the thinking squadron shouted loudly to his subordinates again, ready to start a battle. In their opposite direction, in front of the Qing army. The soldiers of the first battalion of the second division were still shooting, and in this short period of time, more than 400 Qing cavalry had fallen on this not very wide road, and the inevitable speed of the Qing army also slowed down. However, in the process of blocking, most of the Qing cavalry still ran out of this area, and only forty percent of them fell.

The speed of the cavalry of the Qing army was not very fast, and the cavalry of the Mawei Army began to accelerate and chased after a while, but when they caught up in the near area, they restrained their horses and began to approach slowly. This slow approach was only relative to the Qing army. In order not to open the distance for the time being, it is better to shoot a few rounds with a short fire gun first. The effective range of the short fire gun was only a hundred meters. But at a distance of eighty meters, the most lethal is killed. The Qing army's bows and arrows could shoot so far, but at this time, the Qing army's troops were all facing away from the Mawei soldiers, and they didn't have the heart to turn around and fight the Mawei army. In this way, they were on the target of the Mawei soldiers, and one after another bullets hit the back of the Qing army, and one by one the Qing cavalry fell from the horses.

This is not a new tactic newly invented by the cavalry of the Guards Battalion, and it is impossible to use three-stage or five-stage shooting in horse combat like the army, but when dealing with the enemy's dense formation, the musket salvo is more powerful and very useful. One of the biggest drawbacks for horse riders is that they can't reload on horseback if they are too fast. Therefore, the speed must be slowed down. At this time, the slow speed of the Qing army also gave them the opportunity, and on the back of the war horses that were not running fast, the soldiers could reload their short firearms with ammunition relatively smoothly. After loading, it was immediately raised to give a shot, giving the Qing army in front the maximum damage.

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

The firing of the horsetail cavalry was staggered, and it sounded like the gunfire was continuous. And in front of them, the Qing army kept falling. At a distance of nearly 100 meters, the Qing troops were thrown to the ground one by one.

"General, the cavalry units of the Mawei Army are catching up, do you want to send someone to cut off the rear?"

"Go, let the last Eagle Cavalry battalion turn around immediately, hold the enemy for at least a quarter of an hour, and after a quarter of an hour, they will break through on their own!"

"Wow!"

It's just that this incense stick, the Qing army that fell to the Mawei Army has more than 200 people, and at this time, the rear carving cavalry battalion of the Qing army also received the order of Le Erjin, there is no way, if they are not ready to surrender to the Mawei Army at this time, then they can only turn around and intercept. They also all know that their own full people have surrendered, but they are afraid that the end will be very miserable, and this is already the case at this time, so it is better to obey the military order.

"Warriors, kill, go and kill the rebels, as long as we can hold back the pursuing troops of the rebels, the general promises to be promoted by two levels each, and a reward of five hundred taels of silver. Even if we die in battle, the family will be taken care of by the general. Brothers, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, kill me! The cavalry of the Eagle Cavalry Battalion quickly turned their horses, and with the encouragement of the superiors, they drew their sabers and prepared for a big battle.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

These Qing soldiers are not stupid, and they all know that only by desperately blocking can there be a way out, so they roared hard. Under the commander's order, those Qing troops began to rush forward with all their might. Those in front were knocked down, and those behind continued to rush forward. The horsetail cavalry did not stop advancing at this time, but hurried to shoot the last bullet.

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

In fact, the Qing army did not have much morale, and in a moment's effort, the Qing army fell again. The more Qing troops fell, the more the morale of the Qing army was depleted. Although many of the Qing troops in this part of the Eagle Cavalry Battalion have the intention of dying, in terms of will and perseverance. They all have something special. But. They encountered. It was the cavalry unit of the Horsetail Army's personal guard battalion. The combat effectiveness of the two sides is not at all on the same level. Therefore, they are basically only the share of being slaughtered.

Seeing the Qing soldiers and soldiers falling continuously, the generals of the Eagle Cavalry Battalion were angry and panicked. He could feel that he was definitely unlucky today. For a time, anger, despair, unwillingness, and all kinds of feelings. It all came to his mind. For a short time, he felt that his eyes were pitch black, and he couldn't see anything, as if he was blind.

"Withdraw!"

"Withdraw!"

"All withdrawn!"

His carving cavalry battalion was five hundred horsemen, and hundreds of people fell just after they saw it, and he immediately retreated, having easily mustered up the courage and some confidence. I really can't beat it, so let's run away. As long as they can escape, they will at least have a chance to make a comeback.

On the side of the Mawei army, Gu Ping found that the momentum of the Qing army had been defeated. Then he ordered loudly: "It's time, the whole army obeys the order." Assault, grenade ready! ”

And at this time, the Qing generals of the Eagle Cavalry Battalion also issued the latest order, "Retreat!" ”

Less than a minute between his latest order and his previous order, the clash was dramatic. However, the Qing army, which received the order, suddenly turned around as if they had been amnestied, and even a few Qing soldiers who fell off their horses and were lucky not to be seriously injured began to spread their feet and flee. The Qing army on the war horses were all desperately urging the war horses to run in the direction of the previous eastward flight.

Of course, the horsetail cavalry would not let go of such a good opportunity for actual combat, and all of them began to pursue as quickly as possible. Gu Ping also asked the squadrons not to treat the enemy in front of them as people, and to kill them all, and they were too lazy to take prisoners. Even if someone raises their hand and surrenders, they don't have to pay attention.

"The squadrons are storming as planned! Kill all the Tartars! Gu Ping coldly gave an order.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

All the squadron leaders and the soldiers below answered excitedly. More than 400 horsetail cavalry immediately swarmed towards the Qing army. Soon, the squadron leaders took the horsetail cavalry under their command and directly entered the Qing army. Previously, each cavalry battalion of the Mawei Army carried four short firearms, and the lethality at close range was still very impressive. The first one is only used three, and the last one is to be used when it is closest to the fight, so that the killing effect is the best, and basically you will not miss. At this time, as long as they raised their hands, a Qing army fell in front of them. In a scuffle, the reaction of a short fire is much faster than that of a rifle.

Another huge advantage of a short gun is that it is much easier to reload on horseback than a rifle. Sometimes, after all four short guns were empty, the horsetail cavalry could stop and fill all four short guns before going into battle. After emptying, reloading, re-entering the battle, and so on. At this time, the pursuit battle, especially the pursuit of such a rout, is especially useful.

The Qing army, from the generals to the soldiers, just wanted to escape, and completely ignored the movements of the horsetail cavalry. He felt that the Qing army should have killed a lot of people. But how many people died, it is not clear. When fleeing, it was easy for the Qing army to gather together in search of psychological comfort. This is especially true for those Qing troops who fell off their horses and lost their horses and became foot soldiers.

Suddenly, more than a dozen horsetail cavalry rushed into the Qing army, but they did not immediately slash and kill the Qing army, and continued to rush ahead quickly, and at the same time, when they rushed forward, they also casually threw down a few swarthy iron eggs. The Qing army that fled in a hurry didn't care about these iron eggs, they passed by the iron eggs one after another, and then continued to flee for their lives.

"Boom"

"Boom"

"Boom"

Moments later, the iron eggs exploded. The surrounding Qing army was suddenly overturned, and the screams continued, and the scene was a mess. Needless to say, these iron eggs are the secret weapons used by the horsetail cavalry to deal with the enemy's crowd tactics. Bombed by a grenade, the Qing army became even more confused. The denser their ranks, the more vulnerable they are to grenade attacks. If they disperse, they will be shot by the muskets of the guard battalion.

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

Soon after, more horsetail cavalry followed from behind. The already messy Qing army. Combat effectiveness has long been lost. Although many knew that the end would be miserable, they still raised their hands and surrendered. They have no other choice, no matter what, it's better to die than to live!

"Disarm and don't kill, all drop your weapons and raise your hands!"

"Hands up!"

"Hands up!"

The horsetail cavalry kept shouting, and the muzzle of the black hole hole was pointed at them. If they don't raise their hands quickly, they will be knocked down by a single shot. In desperation, many Qing troops had no choice but to raise their hands. They don't want to die yet. Really, under the horror, they were even quietly complaining, why did Le Erjin bring them to provoke a Hades army like the Mawei Army, this is completely sending them to death! ……

When the troops from the Mawei Navy warships had just rushed into the city at the south gate of Tuxian County, they did not expect that the Qing army here would still resist stubbornly. They didn't know that Le Erjin had fled, and nearly 3,000 archers with bows and arrows surrounded the small enemy at the south gate, and the figures of Qing soldiers around the houses and on the roofs seemed to be about to deal a severe blow to the Mawei army that rushed in.

I have to say. Their strategy succeeded, and in less than a minute, there were more than 300 soldiers in front of the Mawei Army. Only a few shots were fired, killing part of the Qing army, and the generals on the Qing army's side issued an order: "Release the arrows!" ”

"Whoosh"

"Whoosh"

"Whoosh"

Thousands of arrows fell like dark clouds in these small two areas, and more than half of the more than 300 Mawei soldiers in front of them fell in an instant, which was also the heaviest casualty of the Mawei Army so far.

"Retreat! There is an ambush! ”

Immediately, the Mawei Army made a quick U-turn and retreated outside the gap. When a scream sounded, the soldiers behind noticed that something was wrong, so they immediately stopped, heard the word ambush, and subconsciously began to retreat. This is also a naval unit, after all, it has not undergone special training in this area like the army, just like the army unit of the second division in the north would not rush into the city so recklessly, it must first send a small force to reconnoiter with thousands of troops, and then the large army will march en masse.

After losing nearly 300 soldiers, the large army was still pulled out of the city, and the naval soldiers did not stop, and began to retreat under the leadership of the commander. At this time, the Qing army did not dare to catch up, after all, there were already two thousand comrades lying in the open space outside. The cannons of the Mawei Army are really powerful.

"Commander, the last general has come to plead guilty!" Captain Bian Weihang of the Fuyuan lowered his head in shame and muttered.

"Let's wait for now, and then I will see the Metropolitan Governor again, how many Qing troops are there at the city gate now?" Wang Zhenbang asked.

"No less than three thousand warriors have seen! But the last general estimates that there is still some to come! ”

"Well, a lot, just now I took into account the people in the city, the artillery fire did not extend, and now it seems that there should be no people living near the city gate, order, the guns of each ship are adjusted, the guns are extended for fifty meters, and they are aimed at the south gate to bombard me!"

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

The order was immediately conveyed, and in a few moments, that is, a minute, rows of shells fell again on the city walls, making a dense noise. In this wave of shells, there were flowering shells, and many of them were solid shells, and the two shells fell at the south gate at the same time.

Suddenly, when the city and the city of Tu County were boiling, there were chaotic shouts everywhere. Some people screamed, some people screamed, some people screamed, some people moaned, some people roared, all kinds of voices mixed with each other, so that everyone who heard it felt heartbroken.

Speaking of solid bullets, these black iron bumps bigger than fists, as long as they are beating, it is definitely a tragedy. The remnants of the Qing army at the head of the city, no one did not know the power of this iron lump, and they hurriedly looked for a place to hide. Behind the battlements is the easiest to hide, and many people are desperately leaning on the battlements, not daring to move half a minute.

The city wall of Dangtu County is far inferior to the head of Jinling City. Under the bombardment of huge iron balls, part of the city wall was cracked by the bombardment again. Some battlements were smashed by iron balls and were smashed to pieces. The people who hid behind the battlements naturally followed the tragedy. Flying rubble bricks. Hit on the body. It's as powerful as an arrowhead. Directly beat people to death or injury. However, more Qing troops and Qing soldiers died in their own horror at this moment. When they saw others being shattered by the battlements, they felt that the battlements behind them were not safe, so they jumped up in spite of the situation, trying to find a better place to hide. As a result, it is often easy for them to be beaten after they stand up.

Lots of iron bumps. It also flew over the city with a roar, and landed in the county town of Dangtu, and the buildings near the city wall were all in a mess. The streets were full of panicked Qing troops. They found that none of the buildings in the city seemed to be able to stop the cannonballs of the Mawei Army, and only the back of the city wall was the safest. So, they all rushed frantically towards the base of the wall.

"Bang!"

A loud bang came, attracting the attention of many people. Huge lumps of iron. Whistling on a three-story house on the side of the street, the three-story house was suddenly moved. The whole piece fell down with a bang. The three-story house was smashed by a huge solid bullet, and the bricks, rubble, and tiles all fell down. The Qing army passing by below was naturally screaming and blood.

The rest of the Qing army was so frightened that they no longer dared to pass by the three-story house, so they had to take a detour. As a result, the shells of the Mawei Army had no accuracy at all, and they completely arbitrarily chose the landing point. Therefore, no one knows where the next shell will fall. As soon as it happens, it depends on God's blessing.

It was in this kind of running process that the Qing army general Akta was beaten by the flying debris. While crossing the street, a brick fell from the sky and knocked him directly to the ground. With his head broken, he struggled on the ground, and as a result, there was a burst of bricks and stones falling on it, burying him. No one from the Qing army passing by behind showed up, and the person buried under the rubble was the general Akta. They hurried past him, desperately dodging the rain of bullets that fell haphazardly. However, the general Akta is not too lonely. Soon, beside him, there were several Qing soldiers, also with broken heads and blood flowing all over the ground. It is conceivable that on Huangquan Road, they will definitely not be lonely. Akta was not killed by a bullet while commanding the cavalry, but was killed by a brick at this time, so he must have been very aggrieved in his heart!

Wang Zhenbang was really angry at this moment, and he also invested a lot of money for a while, and all the 500 naval guns were shooting desperately, and the rain of bullets that fell was absolutely amazing. Eighteen-pound shells weigh almost twenty pounds. Such a heavy guy, no matter where it is smashed, will attract a series of wind and rain.

Don't forget, the cannon fired not only solid bullets, but also a considerable number of flowering shells, and the repeated explosions of flowering shells caused more damage to the Qing army than solid bullets! It was under such firepower that the Qing army in the city, let alone counterattacking, burned high incense if it could protect itself.

The shelling of the Mawei Army lasted for a full quarter of an hour before it was temporarily stopped. The Qing army at the south gate was relieved. When they stood up cautiously, they were shocked to see that they didn't seem to recognize any of the qiē around them, as if they were completely unfamiliar, and they couldn't see their original appearance at all. At the head of the city, there were Qing troops who had been killed or wounded. For the most part, the bodies were incomplete. Stumps and broken arms or something, everywhere. There were also many bloody eyeballs, caught in the cracks of the city walls. Blood flowed down the cracks in the walls. Broken weapons, scattered all over the place. Actually, such a scene has already existed in the morning, but now that some corpses have been added again, the scene looks even more bloody.

Around the streets of the city, the scene is also unsightly, and stumps and broken arms are also everywhere. At this moment, there was a wailing in the city. The shelling of the Mawei Army, which extended this time, killed and wounded at least 1,500 Qing troops, and the morale of the Qing army was further depressed. The general Akta was killed, and the Qing army here at the south gate didn't know what to do, not only the general Akta, but even the Qianhu officials couldn't find it.

Less than three minutes later, the horsetail battleships continued to shell. It seems that in order to give my Qing army a chance to breathe, I actually want them to come out of hiding first. Sure enough, one minute before the Mawei Army's shelling stopped, some Qing troops stood up first, and in three minutes, some Qing troops had already gone to rescue those injured robes.

The current shelling of the Mawei Army is somewhat different from the beginning. Now the targets of the shelling have mainly become buildings in the city. Judging from the landing point of the cannonballs, the cannons of the Mawei Army are, of course, the buildings near the south gate, but if Wang Zhenbang wants to, his battleship guns can completely envelop the entire Dangtu County within its range.

The borrowed shelling was scattered and messy, but the shelling was extended. Under the shelling of the Mawei army, the Qing army, hiding at the base of the city wall, did not dare to move at all. If they get out, they're probably doomed. It's better to hide here to be safe. The continuous shelling destroyed all the main defensive forces at the south gate of Dangtu County. The rest of the Qing army was no longer a threat to the naval soldiers of the Mawei Army. At this moment, the naval soldiers of the Mawei Army pounced again under the leadership of Bian Weihang, the captain of the Fuyuan.

To say that after two quarters of an hour, the soldiers who rushed into the city from the north gate should have run to the south gate, but when they heard that the cannon sound on the south gate was still so fierce, they dispelled this idea, forget it, the artillery fire on the navy side is more than ten times stronger than that of the army, and they still need to worry about it, and they can completely bomb the south gate to pieces.

The continuous and heavy shelling greatly damaged the morale of the Qing army. The morale of all the Qing troops in the city, referring to those green battalion soldiers, has dropped to a negative number. The morale of the Tartars in the city is also very low. Many Qing troops, at this time, their minds were no longer about defending the city, but how to escape for their lives. Even those Tartars have people who want to retreat. After all, when morale drops to such a point, people's minds will change. Knowing that he was going to die, not everyone can accept it calmly. Tartars are also ordinary people, and at this time, they will also think about their relatives and want to survive.

In fact, when the news of Le Erjin's escape reached the north gate, a large number of Qing troops had already begun to surrender. And now, the cannon sound at the south gate stopped, and the remaining Qing troops came out and learned about Le Erjin's escape, and suddenly, they began to collapse. The boss abandoned them and fled, so who still has the heart to resist?

This time, Bian Weihang slowly entered the south gate with 2,000 naval officers, and along the way, almost all the Qing troops gave up resistance, and the few stubborn ones were also sent to the west by the soldiers with rifles. However, it's okay not to enter the city, but after entering the city, Bian Weihang and other soldiers have vomited, and they vomited a lot. The scene is really miserable, it's hell on earth!

(To be continued......)
