277. The cavalry was defeated

Although Tan Shaoguang was in the rear, the telescope in his hand was never put down, and one order after another was sent on time.

"Order the 3rd and 4th regiments of the New First Army to outflank left and right."

"Order the artillery to lock and shoot at Zhu Yuan, ready to open fire."

"Pass the order, give me the commander of the Qing army alive, I want to see what he looks like! Cavalry can be so fierce. ”

The guard next to him understood the chief's mood, at first the chief's expression was solemn and serious, and gradually turned calm, and then the corners of his mouth were skimmed, as if he had seen something interesting, and now he is getting bigger and bigger, as if he can open his mouth and smile at any time.

"Fire!"

Tan Shaoguang put down the binoculars and said loudly.

The herald did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly waved the command flag, and after a while, the cannon made a 'boom, boom, boom' explosion.

"Boom, boom!"

Huang Zaixing heard the sound of cannonballs, and knew that this was a signal given to him by Tan Shaoguang, and immediately shouted to Luo Ming: "Pass the order, let me go, machine guns and artillery all fire at me!" ”

Luo Ming was so big that the person had already run ten meters away, and he couldn't wait to give the order in person.

"Hit!"

"Da Da Da!" The unique sound of the machine gun sounded in the ears of the Han sergeants, accompanied by the Qing soldiers falling to the ground one by one, and the horses used up their most powerful strength and closed their eyes.

Ten machine guns are like ten tongues of fire, constantly devouring the lives of the Qing army.

Mu Erfu was dizzy for a while, only to feel that the firepower of the Han army had suddenly increased a lot, and the minions under his command could no longer rush up, and at a distance of several hundred meters, the corpses were piled up.

The commander of the standard guard, Brush Jingha, had a panicked look on his face. reported loudly to Mu Erfu: "Lord Dutong, we are surrounded!" ”

Mu Erfu only cared about directing his soldiers to charge forward. Anxious lips bubbled, and at this time calmed down. Listening to the rumbling cannons around and the dense sound of muskets, the soldiers around him became fewer and fewer, and he suddenly realized that he was at the end of his rope.

"Get out of the way!" Mu Erfu hoarsely voiced and said loudly: "Let's go back to the city!" ”

The commander of the standard guard looked around, and all he saw was his own people running around in a panic, shouting: "I can't rush out!" The servant had just ordered two groups of people to tempt, but all of them died, and none of them returned. ”

Mu Erfu said in despair: "I didn't expect to fight for less than half an hour." There is no establishment, no matter what, we have to rush out of the city, and we still have the strength to fight with Lamendo. ”

It is said that the power of the first battle is just to appease the hearts of the army, and after this battle, Mu Erfu understands that after the Qing Dynasty is over, no one can save it. The cavalry is useless, what else is there in the Qing Dynasty?

"The cannons are all sounding in the back, let's rush out of the cannon from the left!"

The spirit of brushing Jingha was shocked, and the surrounding routs were gathered. In a short time, more than 600 people gathered.

"Kill!" Mu Erfu took the lead in turning the horse's head, and the cavalry of the brigade followed him, and many more routs joined along the way, waiting for the third regiment of the Han army to come into contact. There were already eight or nine hundred people.

Huang Zaixing saw with his own eyes that the main force of the Qing army broke through, and the cavalry left behind were all divided by bullets in several places, relying on the surrounding corpses to cover. to survive the disaster.

Luo Ming ran over and asked, "Commander, it's not a way to go on like this. There is always a time when the cannon listens to it, and there is no threat from the rear. This group of Qing soldiers must escape, let's go up and arrest people! ”

"Well, that's right!" Huang Zaixing ordered: "You take two battalions up, bring more grenades, seal the two roads of the troops, and gradually clean up, you must not let go of a single person, those who dare to resist will be killed!" ”

"Yes!" Luo Ming immediately took the second battalion and the third battalion and quickly touched it.

Huang Zaixing ordered loudly: "Machine gun cover!" ”

The Qing army lying around the corpse was unlucky, not only endured the shells falling from the sky, but also had to pay attention to the bullets shuttling around, and if they were not careful, they would be hit by bullets.

"Lord Zuo Ling, the Han army is rushing up, what should we do?"

The left leader cautiously glanced out, and sure enough, three or five hundred Han troops surrounded him, and there were Han troops fighting with his own people five hundred meters away.

"How many more warhorses are still alive?"

Seventy or eighty Qing soldiers each looked at the mounts lying beside them, and replied sparsely.

"My mount is dead!"

"Mine is dead, too!"

"Dead"

"Mine is alive!"

"My mount has been shot, I'm afraid I won't be able to charge."

……

Zuo Ling counted it, and his heart was cold, including himself, there were only thirteen riders, and when he thought of thirteen, he thought of the story of Taizu who he had heard about when he was a child and started with thirteen pairs of armor...... Shaking his head fiercely, the left leader drove out the unrealistic thoughts, and said loudly: "Brothers, there is no time, if you want to survive, you can only rush once......

A bearded adjutant at the bottom said, "Rush? How to rush, as soon as you show your head, you will die, I'm afraid that before you ride the war horse, there will be a few eye-catching on our bodies, I think there is a different way. ”

The left leader was stunned, and also felt that his method was unreliable, if there were fifty or sixty horsemen who could still try it, these thirteen horses were too few, and the remaining soldiers had no war horses and could only wait for death, those with war horses did not dare to rush, and those who did not have war horses were unwilling to wait for death, which was really a dilemma.

"What do you say, you can't wait here to die!" Zuo Ling asked distraughtly.

The bearded man hesitated, saw that everyone was looking at him, and said boldly: "There are only two ways to plan for today, the first is to wait here, the Han army of Zhilu Dao rushed up, let's face to face with them, and do it with real swords and guns, but this method is also very risky, I don't know how many brothers can rush up, this second ...... The second is ......"

Zuo Ling shook his head, this first method is not as good as what he proposed, seeing that the other party was spitting, he urged impatiently: "Say it quickly!" When the Han army comes up, it's too late for you to say it! ”

As soon as the bearded man gritted his teeth, he said, "The second way is to surrender!" ”

The left leader subconsciously clenched the saber in his hand, and asked with a sneer: "You want to surrender?" ”

The bearded man froze, and hurriedly argued: "It's not a real surrender, let's keep a useful body, and when the time comes, we will continue to work hard for the Qing Dynasty, it's a fake surrender!" Fake Surrender! ”

The left leader hesitated, not knowing whether to kill the seemingly loyal adjutant in front of him.

His hesitation, the subordinates' minds became lively, after all, who wants to die if they can live, the Manchurians living outside the gate are quite straightforward, and many people express their intentions in a hurry.

"Lord Zuoling, I think what this adult said makes sense, I still have an old mother at home, I have a few taels of silver on me, I want to give it to my grandma, I can't die here."

"Yes, Lord Zuoling, we did our best, the Han army is really powerful."

"I also think it's better to keep it useful."

……

The left leader looked at them one by one, except for the more than 20 people who were speechless, none of them advocated fighting to the death, thinking of the delicate wife at home, Xinna's concubine, and the lovely son, he put down his saber in frustration and sighed: "Just do as you say, I will go out first, and you will follow me." ”

Luo Ming saw that the Qing soldiers in front of him were holding swords in both hands, and he couldn't figure out what the other party's idea was, so he waved to the herald beside him, and the herald immediately trotted forward and asked, "Is it surrendered!" ”

The left leader nodded expressionlessly, looked back, and saw that all his subordinates showed a happy look, and sighed again: The Qing Dynasty is over!

The herald shouted, "All lay down their swords and come with me." ”

Luo Ming ordered a few people to escort this group of Qing soldiers down, and led his subordinates to continue to move forward, and when they met those who surrendered, they were escorted down, and the slightest hesitation was to shoot them to death, killing three or four hundred people in less than half an hour, and capturing more than six hundred people alive.

"Down! It's really not a seed! Luo Ming was very disappointed when he saw that the last enemy soldier also surrendered.

A company commander who came up with new reinforcements asked beside him, "Why is our regiment commander unhappy?" The surrender of the Qing soldiers is a happy event! ”

The soldier next to him saluted first, and then whispered back, "Can you be happy?" This big brother, you don't know what to do, just now I met a few groups who wanted to resist the Tartars, but they were all blocked in our nests, shot and killed, and the Qing soldiers who wanted to rush out were also beaten into a hornet's nest, how happy it is, just like shooting a target, one shot at a time, this Manchu is really retribution, when we first entered the customs, we killed so many of our Han people, we should also kill back, and kill all the Manchurians......"

The company commander smiled bitterly, knowing that these soldiers were all influenced by folk teahouses and operas to become soldiers, and most of the teahouses and theater performances were stories of people entering the customs and slaughtering the people...... Therefore, the recruits are very hostile to the Manchurians, and they are eager to kill the Manchurians cleanly.

Luo Ming saw that many people were standing in place and doing nothing, so he laughed loudly and scolded: "If you don't clean up the battlefield quickly, you will delay the attack on Gaizhou City, and Lao Tzu will kill you!" ”

A majestic voice sounded: "Who do you want to smoke to death?" ”

Luo Ming turned around, shuddered, trotted over, and flattered: "My lord, why are you here!" ”

It turned out that this person was Li Chunfa, he was worried about the war in Gaizhou, so he deliberately rode a horse first, arrived at Tan Shaoguang's army, and heard that there was a big victory here, and rushed over non-stop, just to see Luo Ming's arrogant appearance.

Li Chunfa ignored Luo Ming and praised Huang Zaixing, who was trotting over: "I heard that you won a big battle, not bad!" Looking at this battlefield, there are at least four or five thousand war horses, yes, after this battle, our soldiers no longer have any fear of cavalry! ”

Huang Zaixing is humble and loves: "It's still better commanded by Commander Tan, and he is just acting on orders." ”

Li Chunfa smiled and shook his head, maybe he learned the lesson of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this Huang Zaixing is always cautious in his words and actions, and if he has merit, he will give it to others, and he is always the first to come out on top, and he has a bit of Changshan Zhao Zilong's flavor in dealing with people.

Tan Shaoguang didn't have a horse to ride, so he lagged behind a lot, and as soon as he arrived here, he heard Huang Zaixing give credit to himself, although he was happy in his heart, he didn't speak.

Li Chunfa was in a good mood when he saw that the commanders were basically all there, and pointed to Gaizhou City and said: "Aim all the cannons at Gaizhou City, bombard three rounds, and then send people into the city to persuade them to surrender." (To be continued......)
