"Help...... Help me......"

On the battlefield, the corpses of the Qing soldiers who died in battle began at a distance of two hundred meters from the breastwork, and spread piecemeal to the trench that collapsed in front of the breastwork.

In the trench, there were a few Qing soldiers who were screaming for help like mosquitoes and flies, several bamboo with sharpened tips penetrated their bodies, directly from the back to the chest, and the blood kept flowing down, although they knew that they would die, but the instinct to survive still drove them to ask for help.

At this moment, a tall body suddenly appeared in the narrow sky in front of them, and the soldier in front of him who was getting darker and darker subconsciously wanted to stretch out his hand to him, but in the next second, that person stabbed out the spear and plunged it into the soldier's chest, and then stirred, his heart was shattered, and a large amount of blood spurted out along the spear.

"Bah, dog tartar." The spearman pulled out his spear and spat out a mouthful of fishy yellow phlegm on the corpse of the Qing army, which was not completely dead, and said disdainfully.

He doesn't care whether the other party is full of people or not, in his opinion, as long as he has a money rattail pigtail, he is an abominable tartar.

Retracting his spear, he looked at the Qing army array that was hunting with military flags in the distance, and said to his fellow villagers who were cleaning the battlefield not far away: "Golden Pig, I killed a Tartar who is not dead yet, how are you there?" ”

"Don't call Lao Tzu the Golden Pig, Lao Tzu has a big name, called Li Sanfa." The fellow villagers not far away scolded and said.

"Okay Golden Pig, so how did you get it?"

"Cylinwood." The spearman who called Li Sanfa scolded in dialect, and then said: "These dog tartars are really rich, I just found ten taels of silver from a person who seems to be the boss, Gan Lin Niang." ”

After speaking, he touched the ten taels of silver greedily, thinking that it would be good if it all belonged to him, but unfortunately there were regulations in the army that everything captured should be confiscated and distributed uniformly after the war.

He did not dare to challenge military discipline, or in other words, as long as the soldiers were trained from the barracks of the army, they would not disobey military discipline, so military discipline was basically for those newly attached Qing troops to surrender.

On the other side, in the Qing army's formation, Tong Guoqi looked at the thieves who were wantonly looting on the corpses of his fallen soldiers with a gloomy face, and then retracted his gaze, looked around at the generals around him, and said:

"The thieves have sharp firearms and hold thunderstorms, but hand-to-hand combat is still the strength of our army, can someone take the initiative to invite Ying, serve as a vanguard, and make military achievements for the king?"

Everyone looked at each other, and after a while, the general Wang Yaobang came out of the ranks, knelt down and said: "Lord Governor, the slave is willing to serve as a pioneer and kill thieves for the Qing Dynasty!" ”

"Good!" Seeing that someone took the initiative to ask for help, Tong Guoqi's mood improved a little, and said, "I ordered you to order 2,000 soldiers to attack the thieves." ”

"The minions obey." Wang Yaobang said humbly, just as he wanted to get up and leave, Tong Guoqi stopped him again, looked at the rest of the people, and said: "The mountains and forests on both sides of my Guangu Road are high, but they are not impossible to climb.

Where are Wu Jian, the general of Anxi Qian, and Chen Shitai, the general of the staff? ”

"The minions are here." The two men who were named were ordered to come out of the ranks.

"I order the two of you to lead Anxi and Nan'an soldiers and horses to attack Shanshan and Shangliao, and then fight the Gudao thief army with Wang Yaobang." Tong Guoqi ordered.

Wu Jian and Chen Shitai glanced at each other, and then clasped their fists and responded: "The slave obeys." ”

After the second minute, the Qing army's three-way soldiers and horses were assembled, and they started with the dull and distant sound of the horn.

At the moment when the horn sounded, the rebel soldiers who were still cleaning the battlefield hurriedly retreated and withdrew behind the breastwork, and the riflemen also stepped forward and lined up behind the breastwork again to reload their rifles.

It didn't take long for Su Yan to discover the problem.

"The Qing army actually tried to climb the mountain." He looked at the Qing troops running towards the mountains and forests on both sides of the other two roads, frowned slightly, and said: "This is not good, the artillery position is on the mountain, if they are ended, won't it blow up on my head?" ”

Lin Xingzhu also found out about this, and he immediately asked for help, and said, "General, my subordinates are willing to lead the rattan battalion to intercept the Qing army!" ”

Su Yan only thought for a moment, then nodded, and said, "Yes, just in case, I'll give you another hundred riflemen and Zhongwu battalion archers,"

"Yes!"

Lin Xingzhu responded excitedly, he was impatient waiting to be able to lead the newly trained rattan players to kill the enemy, and now Su Yan finally agreed to his request.

"Rattan battalion, come with me!"

Immediately, Lin Xingzhu divided the rattan battalion into two routes, going to Shanshan and Shangliao respectively, preparing to block the Qing army on the mountainside.

The soldiers of the Tengpai battalion were basically recruited from the local mountain people, and they could also walk like a fly in the mountains, so they could move much faster than the Qing army.

After Lin Xingzhu left, Su Yan looked at the Qing army formation that was pressed again, and knew that it was time to use artillery, so he ordered the standard-bearer to wave the colorful flag and send a signal to the artillery position on the top of the mountain.

Shangliao artillery position.

"The bunting is moving, the bunting is moving, ready for shelling!"

As soon as the artillerymen who had been paying attention to their own formation saw the colorful flags waving, they excitedly shouted to the surrounding comrades, and the other artillerymen hurriedly ran, entered the gun position, put the gunpowder and shells into the gun barrel in turn, and then compacted it with a pounding pipe, aiming at the Qing army formation moving in the valley road.

"First round of calibration, fire!"

"Fire—"

Boom Boom Boom –

Twelve cannons roared almost at the same time, and in a shell that almost made the mountains tremble, twelve dark cannonballs flew at high speed, and in less than a few seconds, they crashed into the moving Qing army.

Although it was only a test fire for calibration, three of the twelve shells accurately fell into the crowd, plowing a bloody path directly into the Qing army's formation.

All the Qing soldiers who were hit by shells, or even just brushed by, were all missing arms and legs, and died miserably.

After a cannonball hit the ground, it bounced up under the drive of inertia, and directly cut off the head of a Qing soldier facing it, and the blood suddenly sprayed more than two meters high like a fountain, and the shell did not stop being satisfied after cutting off a person's head, but continued to roll forward, killing and wounding dozens of people, before finally stopping on the ground with blood.

The sudden shelling suddenly made the Qing soldiers feel very confused, and they looked at the bloody road that was plowed out in amazement, and they couldn't help but weaken their legs - this is a cannon! Even these officers and soldiers are not there, where did the thief army get so many cannons?

"Artillery! It's artillery! ”

Tong Guoqi's face was shocked, he grabbed the reins tightly, and said in a lost voice: "This is impossible, this must not be an ordinary thief, this is a false army, it must be like this!" ”
