The darkness before dawn dissipated quickly, and when the east spit out the white of the fish's belly, in the Qing army camp in Shimapu, several fireheads yawned and carried buckets to the well to fetch water, ready to fetch water for breakfast.

There are only a dozen houses in Shimapu, and after the Qing troops from Shaanxi entered Shimapu at dusk yesterday, they honestly and unceremoniously requisitioned the houses, and the original people living in the house were driven out by the Qing army like wolves and tigers, so they had to drag their children and daughters to cry and leave.

Compared with the Qing army from Chaozhou, these Shaanxi Qing troops are polite, since the Qing army of Chaozhou crossed the border to suppress thieves, poisoned the locality, killed people and set fires to all kinds of evil, and even fought with the local regimental training in Hunan, and the grudge was getting deeper and deeper.

Around more than a dozen houses, the Qing army created a camp last night, did not dig a trench to build a base, even the surrounding camp fence is not completely arranged, to the south sent to the horse report did not see the shadow of the long-haired thief, so the Qing army's chief general Shaanxi Xi'an Town, the general Fu Cheng, deputy general Yin Peili after discussion, planned to reorganize the camp in the morning, dig the trench to defend.

"We've been far away, and we don't know when we'll be able to go home." A Qing soldier muttered and cursed in a Shanxi accent: "Hunan fights but our Shaanxi soldiers are burdened, and it's really not worth it." ”

Another guy pulled his loose coat and sneered: "Why didn't you scold when you received the silver yesterday? We are collecting money from others and eliminating disasters for others. ”

The first guy grinned, his mouth full of big yellow teeth was uneven, and Haha smiled and said, "That's right, if you have a little money, you will be sure." ”

While they were talking, several people suddenly saw the water in the bucket next to the well swaying gently, and then they only felt the ground under their feet tremble slightly. Several of the men are Shaanxi soldiers, who have been fighting with horse thieves and bandits in the northwest all the year round, and this dull tremor is clearly the movement of the cavalry attack.

Several people looked up at each other and looked into the distance, only to see that on the avenue next to a dense forest in the south of the stone horse shop, dust and smoke were billowing in, and several people shouted, dropped the bucket and ran back, shouting: "There is a large group of cavalry coming!" ”

At this moment, most of the green battalion soldiers in the camp were still sleeping soundly, and when the patrolman rubbed his eyes and looked up, he saw that there were always hundreds of cavalrymen wearing red turbans and yellow uniforms on the official road and rushing over with big swords, followed by an endless sea of flags, densely packed with men and horses.

"The long-haired thief brigade has been killed!" The terrible warning sounded, and the green battalion soldiers who were not in good clothes and hats walked out of the camp tents and houses in twos and threes, and were stunned by the scene in front of them.

There are always five or six hundred long-haired red turban cavalry, they wield thick-backed broadswords in their hands, roaring in unison and rushing straight to the Qing army camp, the momentum of thousands of horses galloping together, the shock of iron hooves stepping on the ground, for a while the Qing soldiers only felt that the ground under their feet was constantly trembling.

Fu Cheng, the chief soldier of the Qing army, heard that he couldn't put on his armor, so he only pulled out the sword at his waist and ran out of the camp tent. Shotgunners prepare firearms! ”

The spear army formation that the Qing army had barely organized, Leng Sen's spears were erected, but many of the spearmen of the Qing army in the first row, in the face of the unstoppable Taiping cavalry charge, began to tremble, their hands and feet weakened, and their hearts began to waver.

More than 200 musketeers in the back row held shotguns and loaded their guns, and Fucheng ordered to step forward and release the guns. The musketeers squeezed forward, pushing the spearmen out of formation. At this time, the charging Taiping cavalry was still a hundred steps away, but the commander who commanded the musketeers was inexperienced, and when he saw the neat charging line of the Taiping cavalry, he hurriedly ordered to shoot.

For a time, the Qing infantry line was full of smoke and fire, and the crisp gunshots rang out, but most of the shotguns had a range of only 70 or 80 steps, and the range of more than a dozen guns was more than 200 steps, but in a hurry, only a few Taiping cavalry were shot and fell off their horses, and there was no substantial damage to the Taiping cavalry. On the contrary, the thick smoke on the infantry front brought trouble to the Qing infantry. …,

Fucheng saw the results of the firearms battalion in the clairvoyant mirror, scolded loudly, and ordered the musketeers to withdraw and reload, and the spearmen to advance the formation. By the time the smoke was gone, the spearmen had not yet been arranged in a mess, which showed that the usual training was very scattered.

But the charging line of the cavalry of the Taiping Army was less than ten paces, and in the cavalry formation, under a huge apricot yellow battle flag, a big man wrapped in a yellow scarf waved his knife and shouted loudly: "The heavenly soldiers have arrived, surrender can avoid death!" On the battle flag, there was a big book, "Tianping Heavenly Kingdom Right Bi and Zhengjun Division West Wang Xiao" This person is Xiao Chaogui, the West King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, his thunderous and arrogant voice sounded, and all the Taiping cavalry shouted together to speed up the charge.

Seeing this momentum, the spearmen of the Qing army retreated in fright, and the already incomplete front was even more messy. The red charging front of the Taiping army collided with the infantry front of the Qing army, and for a time the screams and pleasant weapons collided, and the Taiping army's momentum was like a rainbow of shouts and killings, and the Qing army's infantry front collapsed instantly.

Xiao Chaogui followed the fourth row of cavalry to rush into the Qing army formation, he was originally very panicked, but he had to go into battle in person in this battle, after the new army of the Pao Brothers' Association joined, the veterans of the Taiping Army boasted about how the King of the West was brave and the first to charge, he couldn't let the people of the Pao Brothers' Association down, so he had to follow the cavalry to charge. In this regard, Xiao Yungui secretly cursed those talkative Taiping veterans in his heart, would he die if he didn't brag about it?

When he galloped up on his horse and flew with the big knife in his hand, Xiao Yungui was pleasantly surprised to find that he was actually self-taught, and he could play with a big knife on a horse, and his knife skills were very skilled. In fact, as early as the day he set off from Chaling, Xiao Yungui found that he could ride a horse, and he didn't have to think about how to move, his body would react naturally, as if he couldn't forget it for the rest of his life after learning to ride a bicycle.

Since he has inherited Xiao Chaogui's brave skills, what else is there to be afraid of? Xiao Yungui was in high spirits, hiding in the fourth row of cavalry lines and rushing into the enemy formation, the big ring knife in his hand pushed away the two spears that stabbed directly, and the mount under his crotch did not stop, and he rushed to hit the two spearmen, and the unlucky two were trampled by the cavalry who followed behind, where would there be a way to live?

Xiao Yungui led more than 20 of his subordinates, all of whom carried heavy swords, and rushed straight to the flag of the Qing army, wanting to take the flag with one blow. Along the way, these more than 20 horsemen were unstoppable, and they came straight towards Fucheng and Yin Peili.

Fucheng was shocked, drew his long sword, turned over his horse, and shouted to the surrounding guards: "Get on the horse, get on the horse, let us tell these long-haired people, Lao Tzu is full of people, and the Eight Banners cavalry is the cavalry of the cavalry." All the guards got on their horses together and rushed up with Fucheng, but there were more than 30 riders.

Xiao Yungui and others killed and dispersed the infantry of the Qing army, and saw Fucheng wielding a long sword and coming with more than 30 horsemen to counterattack, looking at his official uniform, he knew that he was a big official, daxiao said: "I can't imagine that there are still people who dare to counterattack in the Qing Demon, everyone, the Qing Demon Eight Banners cavalry was very powerful back then, but now it is vulnerable, let's go." At that moment, he urged the war horse and rushed straight up with a wild shout.

The two cavalry were not many in number, but they collided together, which also stirred up a blood mist, and many heads and stumps flew into the sky. This time, Xiao Yungui didn't feel disgusting, but felt that cutting off the other party's head, the crisp feeling of the blade tearing the human body really made people's blood boil, he found that he didn't feel any discomfort when he killed someone for the first time, but the more he killed, the more comfortable he became, and an indescribable feeling of pleasure came from his heart. Perhaps the hearts of people are sinful, and in the most primitive bloody hand-to-hand combat, the most ancient beast temperament is urged, and at this moment there is no difference between man and beast.

When more than 20 horsemen and more than 30 horsemen of the Qing army staggered head-on, there were still 18 horsemen sitting on horses on the Taiping army's side, but there were only 11 horsemen on the Qing army's side. …,

Fucheng's right hand was scratched, and he watched Xiao Yungui and the others turn their horses' heads and rush straight over, gritting his teeth and shouting: "The time has come to be loyal to the emperor, everyone, we Shaanxi soldiers have no bad seeds!" After that, he urged the horse to rush straight away, rushed halfway, and found that there were only seven or eight people following behind him, and a few guards actually fled with Yin Peili, Fucheng was furious, scolded in his mouth, and couldn't care about so much, and took Xiao Yungui, who was wrapped in a yellow scarf on his head, he knew that this fierce long-haired suit was different from other long-haired, and his head was wrapped in a yellow scarf, and his identity must be noble, hoping to kill this person, or he could redeem the defeat.

Xiao Yungui saw the Fu Chang Sword stabbing at him, smiled coldly, he didn't want to think about it, the big knife in his hand unconsciously slashed, the strength was surprising, Fu Chang Sword was knocked away, followed by Xiao Yungui with a backhand knife, Fu Cheng's head was cut off by him with a knife. These two knives, regardless of speed, angle, and liliang are all done in one go, Xiao Yungui gasped, and looked at the big ring knife in his hand blankly, at this time his hand began to tremble, and he laughed at the sky, his body is what a murderous weapon he inherits martial arts and riding skills.

The remaining seven and eight cavalry cavalry of the Qing army were all killed by the Taiping army, Xiao Yungui shouted Lin Fengxiang put forward the order of Fucheng's first-class gallop battlefield, and led people to continue to pursue Yin Peili.

As soon as Fucheng's head appeared, the remaining resisting infantry of the Qing army immediately collapsed, and the Taiping cavalry chased after him, killing the Qing army all the way.

Yin Peili fled in a panic with a few people, and met a group of Taiping cavalry led by Li Kaifang, who was killed in the chaos.

Followed by the Taiping army infantry and the new army of the robe brother will follow the road opened by the cavalry to intercept and kill the Qing army rout, half a day after the battle, two thousand Shaanxi Xi'an town green battalion soldiers killed more than 1,000 people, more than 500 people were captured, the rest fled to Jinpenling, but they did not know that Jinpenling had been lost, after arriving at Jinpenling, was bombarded by a burst of guns and cannons by the Taiping New Army on the mountain, followed down the mountain, the remaining Qing army or died or surrendered, and the Qing army that went out of the city to defend did not escape one.

When the soldiers and horses were gathered to clean up the battlefield, Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, Zeng Shuiyuan, Ji Wenyuan, He Bin, Zhou Zhaoyao and others all gathered around Xiao Yungui, and they were happy to share their respective results.

Li Kaifang's subordinate two Sima of the Taiping Army presented Yin Peili's head, this person's face was thin and sallow, but a rebellious and unyielding color was faintly revealed, only to hear him report loudly: "Your Highness, the former army's left battalion division and right battalion brigade soldier under the command of the southern two Sima Lin Qirong array beheaded the Qing army's deputy general, Turner Xian's head is here!" ”

Xiao Yungui secretly exclaimed with surprise and joy: "This person is Lin Qirong?!" ”
