After being shocked, Tong Guoqi quickly locked on to the location of the artillery position.

He looked at the gunpowder smoke on the mountain that had not yet dissipated, and shouted loudly: "Order Wu Jian and Chen Shitai, order them to quickly climb the mountain and seize the thief's cannon. ”

The herald took the order, Tong Guoqi turned to look at the generals behind him, and ordered: "Guerrilla horses, I order you to order another 800 soldiers and horses to attack the mountain, it is necessary to take the mountain within an hour and capture the thief cannon!" ”

"Minions command!" The guerrilla horse knelt down in agreement, then turned and left.

Tong Guoqi looked at his departing back, and his heart relaxed a lot, and at the same time, he also calculated in his heart that if he could capture all the thieves' cannons, his title might be increased by one level.

On the other hand, after the first round of calibration test firing, the artillerymen began to adjust the angle according to the landing point of the shells just now, and loaded the shells in preparation for the second round of shelling.

"Fire!"

The second round of shelling came as scheduled, this time more accurately, more than half of the shells accurately hit the Qing army's military formation, setting off a bloody storm in the military formation.

The Qing army's military formation was also disrupted because of this, and Wang Yaobang, the general who commanded the attack, saw this, his eyes were split, and he immediately drew his waist knife, pointed in the direction of the enemy, and roared: "Charge!" Charge with the general, and those who retreat will be decided! ”

When the words fell, Wang Yaobang personally led his own soldiers to ride horses and run, and the chaotic Qing soldiers saw this, so they had to follow him, shouting and killing while rushing towards the chest wall.

Soon, they rushed within two hundred meters, and the riflemen, who were hiding behind the breastwork, immediately raised their guns and fired, causing as many casualties as possible in the way of the enemy's charge.

While the main attacking Qing army broke into the range of the smoothbore guns, the Qing troops who tried to climb the mountains and forests on both sides of the valley road were also attacked from a high position.

The archers and 100 riflemen of the Zhongwu battalion who accompanied them also occupied the favorable terrain and shot at the Qing troops who were climbing the mountain in Kuhaha, and the Qing troops who climbed the mountain were immediately shot and killed dozens of people without warning, but they reacted quickly, raised their shields to defend, or hid behind trees, and shot back at the thieves on the mountain.

"Push the stone down and smash those dogs to death!"

Lin Xingzhu took the lead, ignoring the long-range threat of the Qing army, pushed a heavy boulder up, and pushed it down the mountain, the boulder rolled quickly on the slope, smashed head-on into the Qing army's column, and knocked down several Qing soldiers.

Although their troops were much smaller than those of the Qing army after the division of troops, Lin Xingzhu and they were still able to block the Qing army at the foot of the mountain by virtue of their geographical advantages.

"Rush, rush for me!"

Wu Jian, the commander of Anxi Qian, kicked over the green battalion soldiers who retreated in front of him, raised his knife and roared, around him, the green battalion bird gunners relied on the cover of the trees and shot hard towards the mountain, but basically did not hit the enemy.

On the contrary, arrowheads and projectiles flying from the mountains were always able to hit the soldiers of the Green Battalion who were trying to move forward, and even if they were holding their shields, the projectiles could still penetrate the shields and shoot the soldiers hiding behind.

Lin Xingzhu saw the fear of the Qing army, he grinned, pulled out his saber, pointed at the Qing army under the mountain, and shouted: "Attack me!" ”

"Kill!"

The rattan soldiers with rattan cards and waist knives immediately roared and rushed down the mountain, they protected the rattan cards in front of them, blocking the flying projectiles and arrows, like a tiger descending from the mountain, and killed the Qing army head-on.

Lin Xingzhu took the lead, and a flying kick knocked the oncoming green battalion soldiers to the ground, and with a turn of the saber, he cut a hideous mouth on the neck of another enemy, and then stepped forward, raised his saber, and stabbed into the body of the Qing army who was kicked over by him.

Bang –

A rattan soldier was knocked to the ground by a charge of the Qing army, the Qing soldier raised a knife fish ball to slash, but another rattan soldier happened to raise a shield to block his blade, and the third soldier swung his waist knife and slashed into the abdomen of the Qing soldier, and together he killed one person.

"Kill!"

Lin Xingzhu shouted loudly, motivating his subordinates, at this moment, a Qing soldier slashed at him from the side, Lin Xingzhu dodged, the knife was cut into the air, and it was cut on the trunk of the tree on the side, Lin Xingzhu took the opportunity to raise the knife, roared angrily, and cut off the right hand of the Qing army holding the knife.

"Retreat! Fall back! ”

The Qing army was defeated and retreated by Lin Xingzhu's army, and Wu Jian, who was supervising the battle in the back, had to order the withdrawal of the army, and withdrew with his subordinates Queen Cang, and they were chased and killed by the righteous army for a while, and Lin Xingzhu finally stopped the pursuit and gathered the soldiers.

The battle of Shangliao was also carried out at the same time, and although the rebel army divided here did not defeat the Qing army like Lin Xingzhu, it was also like a nail nailed to the mountainside, repelling the repeated attacks of the Qing army.

Although they managed to cross the trench and destroy the breastwork wall with a few projectiles on the surface, they were still blocked by the Chinese army camp and the Zhongwu camp waiting behind the breastwork.

Whether it is the Chinese military battalion or the Zhongwu battalion, they are not inferior in hand-to-hand combat, especially the fact that their casualty bearing capacity is higher than that of the Qing army, which makes the Qing army panic.

The battle lasted for more than an hour, and the casualties of the Qing army gradually increased, and they were also exhausted and retreated, but the thieves in front of them did not show the slightest sign of defeat, but became more and more courageous, forcing them to retreat slowly, and even the general Wang Yaobang personally went into battle to save the situation.

Seeing that no progress was made in the three battlefields, the Qing army had no choice but to blow the horn of retreat and withdraw its troops.

As the horn of retreat sounded, the Qing soldiers in the battle suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and they faded like a tide, and they didn't even take away the corpses of their comrades - the number of corpses was too large for one reason, and another reason was that they didn't dare to stay longer, for fear that the thieves would chase after them.

Su Yan did not order the pursuit, the Qing army still maintained a relatively complete formation and order when retreating, and there were Qing army light cavalry wandering in the distance.

In fact, Tong Guoqi was also prepared that Su Yan might lead the army to chase and kill, and wanted to wait for Su Yan to chase and kill before giving him a return shotgun, but seeing that Su Yan's army formation was unmoved, he couldn't help but sigh regretfully.

"Su Wei should not be underestimated, if he can't be captured here and let it develop, it will definitely become a problem for my Qing Dynasty." Again, he gave a great evaluation.

The surrounding Qing army generals were silent when they heard this, and they had to say that Su Yan was indeed not as easy to deal with as they imagined.

In the past, although there were anti-Qing rebels in all parts of southern Fujian, they were all suppressed by them without much effort, except for Lin Zhong in Tianping City, only Su Yan would give them a tricky feeling.

Even, Su Yan's trickiness was even more serious than Lin Zhong, who could only be in the Dehua mountains.
