Chapter 42: Breaking through and descending the ridge

After a violent convulsion in the stomach, Hong Xuanjiao vomited a lot, until the sour water in her abdomen vomited, and the boredom in her heart dissipated slightly. She straightened up, brushed her hair under Chen Picheng's surprised gaze, gently wiped the dirt on the corners of her mouth with her sleeves with her bare hands, and smiled slightly bitterly: "I'm fine, hurry up and see how the big guy is damaged?" You go first with your wounded sister and brother! Me and the rest of the Queen! ”

Chen Picheng said in a hurry: "West Wang Niang, I ......"

Hong Xuanjiao frowned and said angrily: "A man, don't be a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, you must protect your injured brothers and sisters to go down the mountain safely!" After a while, the Qing Demon is coming up again! Chen Picheng blushed, slapped his chest hard, turned his head and left.

After a hand-to-hand combat, more than 20 Taiping female soldiers and boy soldiers were killed on the spot, and more than 30 were wounded.

"Sisters, cheer, put the guns up again, so that the demons can't figure out our reality!" Hong Xuanjiao walked behind the soil with two knives, shouting loudly, and a moment later, the Taiping Army's forward army was filled with gunfire again, mixed with the sassy cheers of the female soldiers.

In the formation of the Qing army at the foot of the mountain, Deng Shaoliang's face was extremely ugly, and the Qing army suffered more than 150 casualties after the first battle, counting the casualties of more than 50 people in the daytime, and his Qing army lost more than 200 people on this swallow ridge. If it was against the elite Long Hair, he could accept these losses, but he was defeated by a group of big-footed brutes and boy soldiers, and he couldn't swallow this breath.

"Lord Xietai, the barbarian women on the ridge don't seem to have broken through, and under the temptation of Shicai, it can be seen that the barbarian women on the ridge still haven't slipped away." A thousand always said uninterestingly.

Before the words fell, only to hear a snap, Deng Shaoliang fanned over with a big-eared scraper, knocking out two of the thousand total teeth. It turned out that Deng Shaoliang peeked at the bottom of the mountain for a long time, and he always felt suspicious in his heart, for fear that the Taiping army on the mountain would find some secret roads and trails to stay, and the front line was just to leave some bluffing soldiers and horses, so he sent 300 people to attack the mountain to try, but the result was not only sharp firearms on the mountain, but also a lot of people, and only half of the people who attacked the mountain came back.

That Qian Zong was slapped to the ground by Deng Shaoliang, Deng Shaoliang was born in the army, and his hand strength was not small, and he knocked out two of his teeth, but that Qian Zong didn't dare to be angry at all, just got up and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and begged for mercy with a mouth full of blood.

Deng Shaoliang said coldly: "If you take another 200 people to attack the mountain, I will spare you for the crime of colliding!" ”

That Mr. Qian's heart was half cold, and he still had to attack the mountain at this time, wouldn't it be clear that he wanted his own life? Crying and begging loudly, the Qing generals on the side were silent, and they didn't dare to say anything to help, for fear of touching the mold.

Deng Shaoliang shouted angrily: "The military order is like a mountain, if you don't go, you will be pulled down and beheaded immediately!" Several Goshkha beside Deng Shaoliang immediately shouted the order, and they were about to come up and put people down.

That Qian always knew that he couldn't help but go, and there might be a way to live if he led people to attack the mountain, and if he didn't go, he would die immediately, so he hurriedly broke free from the drag of several Goshkha, and hurriedly responded: "Lord Xietai, mark your wish to go, mark your wish to go!" ”

At that moment, under the coercion of Deng Shaoliang, the thousand general had to take 200 Qing soldiers to go up the mountain again.

"The demon is coming up again!" A female soldier who saw it pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said loudly, Hong Xuanjiao frowned, lay on the earthen ram and looked down, and sure enough, hundreds of Qing soldiers under the mountain came up with open fire.

"Deng Shaoliang is really an old fox!" Seeing that his strategy failed to confuse the other party, Hong Xuanjiao bit his silver teeth and shouted: "Everyone is quick with hands and feet, prepare two muskets for one person, put them closer and then fight, and the spray gun is also ready!" After the two rows of guns were released, the spray was connected, and as soon as I saw the pennant come out, everyone would go out, and after killing this batch of demons, everyone would go up! ”…,

The thousand generals trembled and bravely approached the earthen fortress, which was worthy of entering a distance of fifty paces, and behind the earthen fortress was a dense volley of guns released, and more than ten Qing soldiers fell down on the spot. Mr. Qian was so frightened that he wanted to turn around and run back, but thinking that he was retreating like this, he would definitely die if he went back, so he had to pull out his waist knife and shout loudly to urge Bingyong to continue up the mountain.

After only a few steps, another row of guns shot out, and more than 20 Qing soldiers fell again, and a lead knocked off the cool hat of the thousand general, so frightened that he lay on the ground and never dared to get up again.

"Kill the demons!" Between the banners, the female soldiers behind the earthen fortress came out with a silver shield long knife, and after a fight, the Qing army fled down the mountain without their lives.

Seeing the Qing army fleeing down the mountain, Hong Xuanjiao no longer hesitated, and shouted loudly: "Sisters, there is no need to take away the pennants and torches, gather the remaining red medicine, place it under the copper cannon and spray gun, leave a long lead, take the musket and let's go!" "The copper cannons and spray guns are cumbersome and can no longer be taken away, so Hong Xuanjiao had to order these firearms to be blown up with gunpowder.

The thousand general was embarrassed with more than 130 Qing troops defeated and retreated, and lost more than 60 people in a fight, originally thought that he would be beheaded by Deng Shaoliang if he was defeated, but he didn't expect to return to the front of the army, Deng Shaoliang hahadaxiao, touched the goatee and said: "The barbarian woman on the mountain really died and found the path and prepared to slip away, this time the firearms were much weaker, and the armies were reorganized, and they went up the mountain in one go!" ”

After the Qing army was reorganized, Deng Shaoliang personally led 500 men and horses to attack the mountain, and before arriving at the earthen fortress, he saw only one corpse of the Qing army and Taiping female soldiers left before and after the earthen fortress, and the pennant and torches were still densely inserted on the earthen fortress, but there was no shadow of a big-footed barbarian woman.

Deng Shaoliang was furious, and ordered his soldiers to bravely chase over the earthen fortress, dozens of Qing soldiers grabbed the earthen fortress, and were about to catch up, but they heard a Qing soldier shouting miserably: "There is a primer with a fire......" The words fell, and several loud noises on the earthen fortress, the gunpowder in the copper cannon and the gun pipe exploded one after another, and the excess gunpowder blew up the barrel of the copper cannon and the gun gun, and injured dozens of Qing soldiers around.

Goshha, who was beside Deng Shaoliang, hurriedly pressed him to the ground, so that he was not injured by the flying fragments, and after the explosion stopped, Deng Shaoliang struggled, his face was flushed, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "What a group of cunning big-footed brutes!" Give me chase! Catch up, capture the barbarian woman and the general, and reward 1,000 taels of silver! ”

One thousand taels is not a small amount, and a group of frightened Qing soldiers bravely chased up the mountain with a roar under the heavy reward.

At this time, it was already past the time, Hong Xuanjiao rushed to the secret path with the remaining fifty or so female soldiers, and saw Chen Picheng waiting there with a few boy soldiers.

Seeing Hong Xuanjiao, Chen Picheng stepped forward and said with great joy: "Queen Xi, it's time to wait for you." ”

Hong Xuanjiao swung his sword, put it behind his arm, and frowned: "Didn't I let you go first?" ”

Chen Picheng said: "Aunt Hu has already picked up the injured people, the path is difficult to walk, Aunt Hu asked me to take a few people to wait for you here and guide you." ”

Hong Xuanjiao didn't want to waste time, nodded and said, "Let's go quickly, the leader of the Qing Demon is powerful, and he will chase after him soon." ”

Before the words fell, several loud noises behind him started, and a group of female soldiers cheered: "Explosion, explosion!" "Yes, I don't know if there are a few Qing demons who have cheated to death!"

"Don't talk nonsense, let's go!" Hong Xuanjiao's face was like frost and shouted, she knew that Deng Shaoliang would see their reality and would definitely bring someone to chase after her, and she didn't know if she could break through safely, so the female soldiers followed Chen Picheng down the hill on the path.
