The gunfire on the hillside continued, accompanied by bows and arrows and short arrows to shoot at the Qing army under the mountain, but the casualties brought were unbearable, on the one hand, the distance was long, the accuracy was insufficient, and on the other hand, the Qing army could cover the body with trees.

Hong Xuanjiao shook her head again and again, if she continued like this, she was afraid that if the bullets were wiped out, the Qing army would not be able to kill a few people, so she decisively stopped and looked at Wang Feng's side.

After Wang Feng led his subordinates into the valley, he ran to the other end as fast as he could, where there was a trench earthen wall that Hong Xuanjiao led people to dig temporarily, which could be barely used as a blocking position, and more than 2,000 people in the whole army had just rushed into the position, and there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind him, and it was the Qing cavalry who took the lead in the charge, Wang Feng suddenly waved his hand: "Release!" ”

"Bang Bang!" After a round of mixed shooting, about dozens of cavalry of the Qing army fell to the ground, but the others still rushed their horses like deaths, rushing over, and they would have a chance to live.

Generally speaking, in the face of cavalry impact, if the firepower is not dense enough, the gun can only fire one shot, and there are only two or three rounds of archery, but the cavalry archery of the Qing army is also strictly degraded, and no one can shoot a bow and arrow on a horse, all of them are brandishing spears and swords and screaming!

Seeing that he could no longer stop the cavalry, Wang Feng gestured to Li Erhu: "Erhu, it's up to you!" ”

"Master Shuai, please rest assured!" Li Erhu grinned and shouted, "Brothers, take out the grenade!" ”

Forty throwers pulled out their grenades, slammed the strings, and threw them.

"Boom! Bang! "The grenades bloomed everywhere, the cavalry array was full of firelight, and I saw that with the landing point of the grenade as the center, the Qing soldiers screamed and flew out in all directions, and although the horses were larger and could not move, they also screamed and fell down, and in the blink of an eye, a large area in front of them was ploughed flat, and the corpses were stacked layer by layer, and those who were not dead were covered in blood and even missing arms and legs were still struggling to climb back, and the scene was miserable!

The forty throwers and the fighters in the position were all stunned, the power of the grenade in one throw was beyond their imagination!

Hong Xuanjiao, who was standing on the hillside, and the soldiers who participated in the ambush were also shocked by the violent explosion, and Hong Xuanjiao shouted repeatedly: "Bring the telescope!" ”

A female soldier handed the binoculars over.

Hong Xuanjiao looked at it, couldn't help but gasp, and muttered: "Wang Feng, you are still an all-round talent, I am a little worried that I will not be able to control you in the future, what do you say I should do?" ”

Hong Xuanjiao's expression was quite complicated, but the Qing army under the mountain was like ashes, and the surviving cavalry turned their horses and fled back, they had never seen a grenade, and they didn't know what the Taiping Army thrown, but this power was obviously more powerful than a cannonball, and it was almost hopeless to break through, and for a while, especially among the Manchurians, a breath of despair began to spread.

"My lord, how should this be? We can't get out! One of the generals shouted anxiously.

Fuxing was also trembling and his eyes were glazed.

If you want to rely on the Franco machine cannon that was stopped outside the valley to bombard the boulder, it is a dream, because the artillery moves slowly, it is possible to be turned around by the Taiping army to make dumplings, and now the only thing that can be counted on is the 500 cavalry in ambush.

Fu Xingqiang cheered up and waved his hand: "What are you panicking about?" There are still 500 horsemen outside, and they will definitely come back to rescue when the situation is not good, the most important thing for us now is to protect ourselves, and we will be hit by the cold guns of the bandits in a hurry! ”

The Qing soldiers had more hope in their hearts, and they successively concealed their bodies and waited anxiously.

And Hong Xuanjiao came to Wang Feng's side after paying attention to the Qing army's escape from climbing the mountain, and couldn't help asking: "Wang Feng, the artillery team of the Qing army was stopped behind the valley, and the simple artillery is not to worry about, but there is a cavalry of about 500 people around the rear of Zutang Mountain, it should be an abacus of setting up an ambush to encircle and annihilate it, you said that they can't wait for us to enter the encirclement, will they send someone to check?" After finding out the situation, will they come to the rescue? ”

Wang Feng pondered for a while, and then said: "Xiang Rongzhi's army is strictly organized, and the commander is in trouble and does not save him, so he must be dealt with by military law, so he will definitely come, but I estimate that it is likely to come at night." ”

Lu Dayou followed and said: "I'm afraid that he won't come, so I came and greeted him with a grenade, and blew him up on his back!" ”

The surrounding soldiers showed deep sympathy, including Hong Xuanjiao, who also nodded again and again, after all, the power of grenades is obvious to all, especially against the cavalry that charges intensively, it is even more effective.

Wang Feng waved his hand: "The grenade throwing distance is short, the limitations are large, and it can only be used in a specific environment, you must not have a dependence mentality, not to mention that our grenades are limited, use one less one, and the situation in Shanghai will be more complicated, and the battle will be more dense, so if you can save it, try to save it, in fact, to deal with the cavalry, there is an easiest way to deal with the cavalry, is to dig a pit and set up a tripping horse, Sister Xuanjiao, do you want to start now?" ”

Although Hong Xuanjiao felt that what Wang Feng said was very reasonable, the tone of the lesson made her feel very uncomfortable to listen to, but fortunately, Wang Feng finally asked for her opinion, which made her regain some sense of savings, so she nodded and said, "Okay, you can arrange it." ”

Wang Feng stretched out his hand and pointed solemnly: "Ding Daquan, the task has been handed over to you, you must pay attention to vigilance, and let the Qing army spies approach in a hurry!" ”

"Please rest assured that the prison army and the division commander will not worry!" Ding Daquan's mind was still quite delicate, Xiang Hong Xuanjiao and Wang Feng both hugged their fists and led their subordinates away.

In this way, Hong Xuanjiao's heart was more comfortable, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, Wang Feng resisted the urge to laugh, and said: "Sister Xuanjiao, the Qing army in the valley was shocked, between the arrival of reinforcements, it should not take the initiative to attack, while the sky is still bright, it is better to capture the Qing army's artillery team, how about it?" ”

"You arrange it." Hong Xuanjiao looked into the distance and said expressionlessly.

Wang Feng waved his hand: "Lu Dayou, bring people and equipment, if there are any resistors, kill them in a hurry, bury the artillery on the spot, go and return quickly." ”

"Buried?" Lu Dayou was puzzled.

"Why bury? Our army has more than 3,000 people, but we do not carry artillery, and now that the Qing army has sent it to us, wouldn't it be like a tiger to attack Shanghai? Hong Xuanjiao also looked at Wang Feng.

Wang Feng shook his head and said: "Sister Xuanjiao, we are going to rescue Liu Lichuan, not to attack Shanghai, the so-called soldiers are fast and pay attention to flexibility and change, and the artillery is slow and slow, taking him is equivalent to tying his hands and feet, not to mention that there are only fifty cannons, and it can only shoot a shot in a minute or two, and how many people can be killed when it comes to combat?" What's the use of coming? I buried the cannon first, and then took it out later when I needed it, melted it down and rebuilt it. ”

"You have a point!" Hong Xuanjiao rolled her eyes.

"Lu Dayou, go quickly!" Wang Feng urged impatiently.

"Yes!" Lu Dayou bowed his hand heavily and led his subordinates to go around the back of the mountain.
