May 17, the fourth year of Tongzhi, was a sad day for the Manchu Dynasty, which was greatly injured. Its military pillar, the last of the Manchurian iron cavalry, led by the humeral minister Horqin County King Monk Greenqin, went to the battlefield of total annihilation.

……

The whole world is drunk, and I feel good from the perspective of God. Liu Xian is enjoying this pleasure now. Even his closest subordinates thought that the situation of the army was worrying, and he alone knew how the battle report two days later would shake the whole country.

Because of the Battle of Bali Bridge, the monk who was remembered by Liu Xian in his previous life, is about to come to the end of his life.

On 17 May, he led his army to chase to the Xie Yuanji area south of Gaolouzhai, and Zhang Zongyu sent a small number of troops to meet the battle, and ordered the Japanese and Zhang Zhuo to attack and induce the monk army to go deep into the Gaolouzhai area.

At noon on the 18th, the monk army entered the high-rise village, and the twisted army ambushed in the village, river weir and willow forest north of the high-rise village attacked together. Seng Lingqin divided his troops into three routes: the deputy commander Tolumbu, the wing commander Norlin Pile and others led the left wing horse team, and Chen Guorui, who was almost about to become the general soldier of the pure infantry army after the loss of the elite horsemen, and He Jianao, the red flag man of the Han army, each led the headquarters of the infantry and cavalry for the west road; The deputy capital commander Chengbao and Urtu Naxun led the right-wing horse team, and the general soldier Guo Baochang led the headquarters infantry team for the east road; Chang Xing'a, Wendele Kexi and other leaders of the horse team are in the middle.

The Twist Army also met in three ways. The west road fierce battle for an hour or so, twist the army slightly, Chen Guorui, He Jianao and others are about to take advantage of the victory to chase the attack, but the middle road of Chang Xing'a and other troops were defeated and retreated, the middle road twist and the west road twist crowd to attack Tolumbu, Chen Ruiguo and other west roads, from noon to the time (20 o'clock in the evening), the main horse infantry of the monk Lingqin West Road was defeated and surrounded. At the same time, the Twist Army on the East Road has also defeated Chengbao. In the rear supervision team, the monk Lingqin had to lead the remnants to retreat into a deserted polder south of the high-rise village, and the twist army pursued the victory, surrounded the polder, and drove the people to dig a long trench outside the polder to prevent the enemy from breaking through.

The next day, 10,000 horsemen dismounted and became infantry, and stabbed into the Inner Qing Army. Seven thousand Qing troops suffered casualties. Cabinet scholar Quan Shun, chief soldier He Jianao, Erer Jing'e and others were all killed in the same battle, and the rest of Chen Ruiguo and others fled in chaos.

Seng Greenqin led a small number of followers to break through the siege at the risk of death, and when he fled to Wujiadian more than ten miles northwest of Heze, he fell from his horse and hid in the forest of Wujiadian. But he was found and pulled out by Zhang Pi of the twisted army into the forest, cut off in the wheat field, cut off the head with a knife, and took its three eyes to dazzle, and went away.

In this battle, more than 11,000 people under the monk Greenqin were annihilated by the Twist Army, and the Qing court was full of Meng's strong horse team, which was a great victory.

Also on this night, Wangtun Town, which is less than forty miles away from Wujiadian. Liu Xian's army is launching a fierce attack on the Twist army in the town to save the besieged Seng Lingqin army.

In the dark night, the army is strongheld.

"Bang Bang ......"

The sound of muskets was incessant. Niu Hongsheng knows the strength of Liu Xian's army, in the previous two battles of Taoyuanji and Rhubarb, his Black Flag Army was obviously two or three times more numerous than Liu Xian, and there was a considerable part of the horse team, but in the head-to-head battle, they were often beaten by Liu Xian and fled. And Liu Xian's army is different from the Hunan and Huai armies, and it is also because of the continuous month of pursuit, and the object of pursuit is the Twist Army with a large number of horses, most of the artillery of Liu Xian's army is left in Tongbai, and only some mortar cannons and mountain splitting cannons are used with the army.

In terms of firepower and range intensity, it is far weaker than the Hunan and Huai armies.

Wangtun Town is less than fifty miles away from the high-rise village, but the war to besiege and kill the monks and thieves has not ended, and the spoils of war have not all been collected. Niu Hongsheng must block Liu Xian, otherwise Zhang Zongyu's plan may really fall short.

He gathered all the muskets in his hand, and half of the thousands of muskets were concentrated in the front defense of the fortification. However, the continuous gunfire could not stop the Qing army from approaching. Outside the camp, heavy black shadows are still approaching......

Gao Qiong's brows furrowed deeply, the visibility was very low in the dark night, and the bonfires outside the camp were also extinguished by the Qing army one after another, so he couldn't see the specific situation in front of the village clearly, but he could feel that the other party's losses were very small, and there were still so many black shadows, and it seemed that a few did not fall in the gunshot.

"Big brother, no, why don't you think you missed the ......" Gao Qiong whispered to Niu Hongsheng.

"Fireworks!" Niu Hongsheng's face also stiffened, and he could feel the things that Gao Qiong could feel even more. It's not that you can't hit, it's that you can't kill or you can't hit through......

Three dazzling flames rose from the camp in an instant, piercing the night sky and illuminating a large open space in front of the town. Large-sized fireworks can be used as flares.

The strange tricks that Liu Xianjun used first were quickly learned by the Qing army and the Twist army.

Under the illumination of the fireworks, Liu Xian, who was forced to come, clearly appeared one by one. They were in groups of three or five, seven or eight people, each carrying a large rectangular shield, and they hid behind the shield tightly. Judging from the fact that the bright light of the fireworks is clearly reflected on the surface of the shield, the shield should be an iron shield. (The outer surface is sealed with a thick layer of iron)

No wonder I don't feel like I've died, so that's the case!

Niu Hongsheng, Gao Qiong and others woke up instantly, but then a thought arose in everyone's hearts, "They are so well prepared." "Such a shield is not something that can be made in a moment and a half.

"Push the earthen cannon out and get ready to shoot."

The use of muskets is not much, although grenades are certainly useful, but the gunpowder of the Twist Army is limited, and the grenades should be used more intensively in the attack on the monk army. Niu Hongsheng really didn't have the confidence to rely on grenades to repel the Qing army outside.

In this case, it is still the most suitable earthen cannon!

A mile away on a mound.

Seeing the three brilliant lights that suddenly rose into the air in front of Wangtun Town, Liu Xian raised his eyebrows helplessly. The Chinese seem to really have a 'cottage' bloodline, and the new things they have made, as long as they show three or two sides, both armies will be made public.

So much so that he can't hide Team Rocket more tightly now.

But Liu Xian is not worried. What if these 500 elite soldiers in the attack were illuminated? Can the Twist Army still eat them?

Without musket killing, it is completely nonsense in Liu Xianam's opinion to rely on artillery alone to bombard these 500 scattered warriors!

In particular, the Twist Army did not yet have a few decent artillery.

Although the heavy shield slowed down the advance of the soldiers, Liu Xian believed that in a quarter of an hour at most, five hundred elites would be able to enter within thirty meters of the town, and then the grenades would be thrown on the heads of the townsmen.

The daredevils killed in front of the town base, blew open the town gate and fence of the Twist Army with a gunpowder bag, threw away their shields and swarmed up, which was enough to completely disrupt the defense of the entire Wangtun Town Twist Army. After that, the main force on his side was put into the battlefield again, and it was intolerable to flee without defeating the Twist Army.
