Chapter 375: Failed River Crossing

From the clairvoyant mirror, Shi Dakai saw the arrival of reinforcements from the Qing army in the dawn of dawn, and even the flag of the governor Luo Bingzhang could be seen clearly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After seeing this scene, Shi Dakai let out a long breath, laughed miserably, and said to the soldiers around him: "It doesn't work here...... Find another place to continue to rush to the ......", the voice seemed ordinary, but anyone could hear the deep tiredness.

The losses of the Taiping army last night can only be described as heavy. At first, there were more than 2,000 people, but during the round trip, nearly 3,000 people crossed the opposite shore, of which nearly 1,000 were swept away by the huge waves, and some of the ships were pierced by artillery fire, and only half of them actually landed. In the end, the people who came ashore were wiped out in the guns and military formations of the Qing army.

Overnight, losing five thousand of the most elite soldiers, no matter how strong Shi Dakai's heart was, he couldn't support it.

"Palace, the military division ......" A general looked at Li You on the other side of the riverbank, and his voice was a little hesitant.

Shi Dakai smiled miserably: "If our army withdraws, and our army is sluggish, he will be determined to fight." Let's go...... I know him too well......"

Li You didn't realize that he had entered a state of madness. Obviously, the strength has begun to exhaust, but the combat effectiveness has increased significantly. Slashing has also become more skillful. From the beginning, in order to create a momentum to intimidate the Qing army, the fight was open and closed, and it became a careful fight, every knife, every step, as if it had been carefully calculated, the step span was very small, it could avoid the slashing and piercing of the Qing army, and the gestures were also simple and neat, and every movement of the steel knife in the hand looked very light, but like a poisonous snake, it opened a hole in the vital place of the person, which may not be fatal, but it was enough to make the opponent unable to fight again.

The wounded Qing army had no chance to withdraw to treat its injuries. They were often trampled to death by their companions who came from behind, adding a dead soul to Li Youjiao's mountain of corpses and blood.

"Dashuai...... Humble and incompetent......" Seeing Luo Bingzhang, Tang Yougeng knelt in the muddy water with a plop, and tore his throat and screamed: "Last night, the long-haired thieves raided our army's defense line, and the lowly sniped at the risk of death, and finally repelled the thieves, but killed and injured countless ......."

Last night's fighting was fierce. But in fact, most of the Qing army did not die at the hands of the Taiping army, but at the hands of Li You. Tang Yougeng is not so much complaining about grievances as he is asking for credit. And when Li You was finally mentioned, Tang Yougeng's face still showed fear after all: "This demon has demon methods, invulnerable, although he is surrounded by ten thousand armies, he has nothing to fear......"

Tang Yougeng hated Li You, but it did not prevent him from admiring Li You's strength in the slightest. If there are dozens of such fierce men in the Taiping army, I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty will really be finished.

The battle on the defensive line was still not over, and Li You's appearance of standing on the pile of corpses caught Luo Bingzhang's eyes. Li You was covered in blood, looking like a devil from hell, blood gushing down his hair, and his hair was scattered, hideous and terrifying. And the clothes around him, under the siege of the Qing army and the sweep of guns and bullets, were tattered, turned into broken strips of cloth, and were sticky with blood and water on his body.

Luo Bingzhang's hand holding the clairvoyant mirror couldn't help but tremble. Although Li You's face was not very clear, he could recognize it from his figure, and this person was Li You who had plotted to assassinate him.

"Zeng Guohuang misunderstood me!" Luo Bingzhang's silver-white beard trembled uncontrollably, and he said something that Tang Yougeng couldn't understand: "The words of the long-haired thief, I really can......'t believe it" Speaking of this, Luo Bingzhang exclaimed again: "What about the other spear thief?" ”

The person Luo Bingzhang asked was naturally Chi You. Tang Yougeng didn't know about Chi You's existence at all. Naturally, I can't answer. After careful questioning, Luo Bingzhang knew that the other thief did not appear. But Luo Bingzhang didn't feel how safe he was. If you can't figure it out, you're hiding nearby, waiting for him to show up.

Luo Bingzhang was decisive in killing, and seeing that Li You had fallen into a heavy siege, he naturally had the intention of killing in his heart. If this person is not removed for a day, he will not be able to sleep and eat. It was not easy to trap people, even if there were many casualties, it was worth it. Immediately, the elite of the army was ordered to slowly surround and replace the defenders who had been fighting for a night.

"Luo Bingzhang ......" Li You also saw Luo Bingzhang's actions from afar. His heart suddenly moved.

Maybe there's a chance! Luo Bingzhang was in charge of exterminating the Taiping Army's military horses, once they were killed in battle, it would inevitably have a huge impact on the Qing army, and if it was not done well, it might even turn the tables!

"Luo Bingzhang!" Li You roared in the direction of Luo Bingzhang, turned his heart sideways, and slammed his body into the Qing army that ushered in him. Immediately knocked several people into the air. Taking advantage of this gap, he was not fighting, but rushed into the chaotic Qing army, and rushed towards Luo Bingzhang through the gap!

Li You's voice echoed around the river valley. Although the shouting and killing around kept coming, Luo Bingzhang heard this roar clearly.

"Arrogant!" Luo Bingzhang clenched his fists tightly, and anger appeared on his face. The guards around him were like facing a great enemy, and the array of platoon guns was immediately launched, and hundreds of heavy cavalry behind him also stood out, blocking Li You's path. The last layer is the guard who draws his sword and is vigilant. And the guards were still uneasy. tried to protect Luo Bingzhang and retreated to the back.

"Ben Du won't leave!" The green tendons on Luo Bingzhang's forehead burst out. As the governor of a province, he wants dignity. was assassinated before, but it was a sudden, and I had to run backwards. But at this time, the guard is tight, and the thief is a mile away from him, but he flees from the wind, and it will become a laughing stock when it is passed out. "I don't believe he can come to me!" Luo Bingzhang almost shouted: "Kill this fang, reward a thousand taels of silver!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the Hunan army brought by Luo Bingzhang was in high spirits. Tang Yougeng's face beside him was bitter. He shouted a sky-high price of 50,000 taels, and Lu Jian'er couldn't get it if he forgot about his life and death, and it wouldn't be very good to come to the governor's 1,000 taels of silver.

knocked over many people in a row, and Luo Bingzhang's gun formation finally appeared in front of Li You. Seeing Li You, without saying a word, a burst of bullets and ping-pong came out.

"What fucking bad luck!" The bullet hit his body, and the already numb body felt sharp pain. This time the pain was severe, and Li You really felt the pain. He understood that his body had reached its limit, and he couldn't hold it for long. That's why he cries out bad luck. If Luo Bingzhang arrived an hour earlier, the remaining strength to kill him would still be more than enough.

After the "boom ......" platoon shots, the soldiers in the formation quickly leaned to the side and made way for a way. Hundreds of heavy horsemen brandished their sabers and began to rush towards Li You's position, and the distance of one hundred and ten meters reached the front almost instantly!

Li You's pupils shrank slightly. When he approached Luo Bingzhang's side in the crowd just now, he really didn't notice that there were such cavalry beside Luo Bingzhang. And when he got a little closer, before he could pay attention, the platoon guns rang out, and the gunsmoke also blocked part of his vision, so that Li You didn't realize the existence of this cavalry at all.

"Kill!" The heavy horsemen all exhaled a solemn cry, and arrived in front of Li You in an instant.
