Shu Xing'a looked at the fog very dejectedly, and muttered, "Does God have to help grow hair?" ”

On the side, Rong Lu smiled faintly and said: "My lord, God helps who his subordinates don't know, his subordinates only know that the muskets and cannons with long hairs in this fog are also out of sight. ”

Shu Xing'a immediately came to his senses: "Yes, there are less than 20,000 horses in the Four-Eyed Dog Department, and we have gathered 40,000 horses to attack in turn this time, and the Four-Eyed Dog has no advantage of firearms, so we can still break through!" Come! The herald drum is ready! The herald turned and went.

Half an hour later, I only heard three loud noises next to the Jinxian Gate in the distance. After the loud bang, the Qing army thundered with joy, the war drums sounded, and the Qing army rushed to the Shuixi Gate in the fog. On the side of the Taiping army, there was a commotion when they heard the loud noise, and many soldiers guarding the wooden city were bombarded into the air, killing and wounding hundreds of people.

The Taiping army entered the camp at the front of Xianmen, Chen Yucheng heard a loud noise, and his heart was secretly not good, and sure enough, after a while, the wooden city guard sent someone to report, saying that the three wooden cities were dug by the Qing demons, placed gunpowder, and all of them were blown up, and the defenders in the city were killed and wounded hundreds.

Chen Yucheng snorted, stood up with a sigh and shouted: "Order the defenders of Mucheng to fight until Zuihou is not allowed to retreat!" The Taiping army who came to give the order did not hesitate to turn around and pass the order, Chen Yucheng said with a gloomy face: "Could it be the Ronglu demon head again?" You are so ruthless in this hand, firing cannons during the day to cover up the sound of your digging into the pit, attracting the idea of our army, and quietly digging under the wooden city, which is really a good strategy. Now it's up to who's moving fast. ”

At this time, the sky was already cloudy and bright, but between the fog, there was no scene more than ten steps away, and the Qing troops under Shu Xing'a rushed to the front of Mucheng. I saw that the three wooden cities were gone, leaving only three big pits, and the wooden city ruins were impassable, and the Qing troops could only rush the Taiping army barracks between the wooden cities.

Chen Yucheng's Taiping army commander Chen Yangxing personally led his troops and horses to defend the remaining camps, desperately blocking the impact of tens of thousands of Qing troops behind the camps. Although the Taiping army lost the wooden city, but the camp is still there, with the help of the camp location, the Taiping army does not care whether they see people or not, as long as they hear the movement, they are lined up with guns to shoot over, and they actually blocked the Qing army in the periphery of Jinxianmen.

Rong Lu learned at the forward camp that Chen Yangxing's troops were desperately guarding the camp. After the huge pit of the Mucheng ruins was sunk and impassable, he and Zeng Guoquan immediately pressed up with hundreds of their own Miao soldiers and Xiangyong.

When Rong Lu led the soldiers and horses to overwhelm the Taiping army, he saw the fire coming out from time to time in front of the Taiping army barracks, and knew that the Taiping army's firearms were being used indiscriminately. At that moment, let Miao Bing and Xiang Yong come forward to clash. Miao Bing and Xiang Yong have always been brave, and they are also equipped with simple earthen grenades invented by Rong Lu. More than 100 Miao soldiers were not afraid of death, and the grenades in earthen jars were blown out of a gap. Then Miao soldiers and Xiang Yong swarmed in. The two armies fought in close quarters, and the various units of the Qing army followed behind and advanced one after another. When they arrived at the barracks, they saw many Taiping soldiers and Qing troops dying in front of the battle, and the corpses with broken limbs and broken arms and rotten intestines were everywhere.

Although Rong Lu is no longer a chick on the battlefield. But seeing this scene, he couldn't help but vomit a few times, and Zeng Guoquan, who followed him, secretly wondered if this Ronglu was an embroidered pillow? He frowned and said, "Are you okay?" ”

Rong Lu took a deep breath and forced a smile: "It's okay." Ninth Master, immediately order someone to erect a bridge on the trench, remove the wooden fence, let's rush over! ”

The Qing army sent a wooden plank behind it, erected a bridge board on the trench, and the follow-up Qing soldiers were about to pass, a large number of Taiping army red turban brand knife hands rushed over behind the wooden fence, and only showed a figure within more than ten steps, the Qing army immediately cast muskets, bows and arrows, and the Taiping army that rushed in front was immediately shot and fell to the ground.

And the Taiping army's rear formation was also like flying locusts of feather arrows and spears shot over, obviously the swordsmen were followed by the Taiping army's archers and musketeers. In the fog, the musketeers and archers didn't care whether they would hurt their own people, but just fired indiscriminately at the noisy place on the opposite side, although they would hurt their own people, but they would also hurt the Qing army.

After Chen Yangxing learned that a frontier had been broken through by the Qing army, he mobilized a large number of musketeers to shoot projectiles at the gap, and at the same time, the Taiping army's card swordsmen also rushed over, intending to plug the gap.

The follow-up of the Qing army was caught off guard, and more than 100 people were shot down, Rong Lu suddenly regretted why he came up in person at this time, and immediately pulled out his long sword to block the feather arrows, while shouting hoarsely: "Defend against arrows!" Rush over! Here you can only wait for death! Although the plank can prevent arrows, it can't protect against lead bullets, but in this kind of purgatory-like battlefield, it seems that having a wooden board to cover it can give people great psychological comfort.

Soon the Qing army that rushed over dispersed, and more and more Qing troops rushed to the archers and musketeers of the Taiping army, and the two sides each drew their short blades to fight, and the entire front of the Taiping army began to waver. Later, the Qing army followed, demolished the wooden fence, and launched an attack on the remnants of the Taiping army.

Outside the Jinxian Gate in Nanchang, the Taiping Army and the Qing Army fought together, the Ronglu Department opened a gap in the Taiping Army barracks, Jiang Zhongjun and Liu Changyou's Jiangxi Regiment Training Soldiers and Horses poured into the gap like a tide, and rushed to the two wings, and the remnants of the Taiping Army of Chen Yangxing were in danger of being completely annihilated.

After getting the battle report from the front, Chen Yucheng calmly asked: "Lai Wenguang!" Are the cavalry ready? After receiving Lai Wenguang's affirmative reply, Chen Yucheng stepped on his horse, pulled out his war knife and shouted: "Lai Wenguang, you lead the cavalry to break through and take Chen Yangxing out, and the others will come with me!" In the chorus of shouts, Chen Yucheng's 4,000 men and horses were divided into two, and the Taiping army was all cavalry, and the horses roared in two directions.

The Qing army Jiang Zhongjun, Liu Changyou and other troops rushed to the two wings, and when they saw it, they wanted to surround the remnants of Chen Yangxing's more than 300 people, and at the same time killed the camps on both sides, wanting to demolish the wooden fence of the camp, so that the Qing troops of other departments could advance. But in the dense fog, a large number of Taiping cavalry with red scarves rushed out like ghosts, and the Qing army's foot soldiers were in chaos, and they were torn open by Lai Wenguang's cavalry. The Qing army was all foot soldiers, and they couldn't stop it, and in the thick fog, I don't know how many cavalry the Taiping army came, and they retreated like a tide at the moment. Chen Yangxing's remnants took advantage of the situation to join Lai Wenguang's troops and broke out of the siege together.

Shu Xing'a's handsome banner was also suppressed to a dirt slope a hundred steps away from the remains of Mucheng to personally supervise the battle, at this time the fog began to disperse, Shu Xing'a saw the impact of the Qing army from the clairhandly mirror rushed up, and applauded again and again under great joy, but it didn't take long for the Qing army to retreat like a tide.

Shu Xing'a didn't know what was happening in front of him, but he was far away, and he couldn't see clearly between the fogs, and the shouting and killing in front of him still didn't stop, which made Shu Xing'a feel a little relieved, indicating that the Qing army in front of the city was still fighting.

Since the start of the war, the artillery on Tushan has been carried by Shu Xing's people to press the formation, and he always feels that he will feel at ease when there are cannons in the Chinese army. At this moment, the Chinese army in Shuxing'a was the remaining ten Western artillery, and the rest of the artillery was destroyed in the artillery battle.

Shu Xing'a ordered the remaining ten six-pounder guns to gather in front of the trench and set up an artillery position, and continued to fire indiscriminately at the Taiping army headquarters hidden in the thick fog. There were also 6,000 men and horses around him, and 6,000 men and horses were arranged in a circle around the artillery emplacement, in case the Taiping army took advantage of the fog to approach and sneak attack.

Shu Xing'a's artillery array was not clear in the fog, so he had to use it indiscriminately, and the ghost knows where these shells flew. The artillery continued to fire artillery, and the 6,000 foot soldiers arranged a simple circular defense line to protect Shu Xing'a's handsome flag and artillery array. The artillery had only been fired for three rounds, and a trembling sound sounded on the ground, faintly like thunder, Shu Xing'a's face changed, and he shouted: "The long-haired cavalry is coming, and the pikemen are ready!" ”

Dozens of steps away, sure enough, thousands of Taiping cavalry pressed by the red pressure from the left flank, the sprint speed was extremely fast, and the banner of the Taiping Army in front of him was written on the banner of Chen Yucheng, Chen Yucheng brought cavalry from the left flank to attack the Qing army, wanting to end the Qing army's Chinese position.

Seeing the cavalry of the Taiping army, the few musketeers on the left flank of the Qing army began to cast muskets, and the musketeers of the Qing army were small, and they used old-fashioned bird guns and carrying guns, which did not cause too many casualties to the Taiping army except for stirring up a piece of gunpowder smoke in front of the battle.

When the cavalry of the Taiping Army rushed to the front of the Qing army formation with more than ten steps in front of the wind, the Qing army began to panic, and the commanders and thousands of generals desperately suppressed the rioting subordinates, and kept shouting loudly: "Reject the horse formation!" ”

The riots of the Qing army began to expand after the cavalry of the Taiping army rushed into the formation, and for a time the Qing army was shrouded in a bloody mist in front of the formation, and screams were everywhere. The 6,000 infantry of the Qing army did not resist Chen Yucheng's cavalry raid, and Shu Xing'a's handsome banner and artillery team disappeared in the dense fog and blood mist.

After getting the news that the Chinese army was raided by the cavalry of the Taiping Army, Rong Lu and Zeng Guoquan glanced at each other, and Zeng Guoquan sighed lightly: "I can't imagine that the Chinese army may not be safe." Rong Lu smiled faintly and said: "We are safe, I can't imagine that the four-eyed dog would dare to use cavalry in the fog, it's really unthinkable." ”

Zeng Guoquan said in a low voice: "What should we do now?" ”

Rong Lu smiled slightly and said: "We don't care about Shu Xing'a's life or death, Jiang Zhongjun's Jiangxi regimental training has been opened into the Xianmen, I believe that Chen Yucheng will also retire soon, although they are mostly cavalry, we can still pursue for a while and get more credit." ”

Zeng Guoquan stroked his palms and smiled: "Yes, hit it at dusk." (To be continued......)
