The clash of light infantry soon ended.

The hunters on both sides didn't have time to reload in the next step, and the large arrays on both sides had already pressed up.

"Flatten the muzzle! Get ready to shoot! ”

The generals of the Green Banner Soldiers roared loudly.

The dense muzzles of the guns were pointed forward.

Whoever it is, the scalp is tingling in the face of so many muskets.

If it was the Ming Army, it would definitely summon a light mortar bombardment that would advance with the army formation at this time.

But Liu Zhixie's guards didn't seem to see it, they didn't blink their eyes, and they just lifted their feet forward.

According to the drill code (the old version of the Ming Army drill code).

The best distance to shoot is within twenty paces.

Therefore, according to the military order, those who shoot at this time will be killed, and the land will be confiscated, the whole family will be driven out of the manor, and the family will become slaves.

At such a serious cost.

These loyal heavenly warriors will strictly obey orders, and will not fear death, and go straight forward, even if people around them keep falling, and people will continue to fill the vacant seats.

This indomitable courage caused a lot of commotion among the Green Flag soldiers who had fired rounds of guns.

Many people's scalps are numb, and they subconsciously turn around and leave.

But at this time, there were crowded dense military formations all around, and the bayonets of the people behind were in front, how could they retreat.

You can only bite the bullet.

Rush to load.

About a dozen seconds later.

Another salvo!

This time, the Celestial Army that was hit was much more dense.

But they still didn't shoot.

Instead, he gritted his teeth and moved on.

until

Fifteen steps away from the enemy!

Fifteen steps, musket salvo!

"Stop! Align with the right! ”

"Muzzle flat, aim"

Fifteen steps!

This is closer than the Ming army's discipline regulations.

Moreover, the line infantry of the Ming army moved forward under the cover of various curved firepower.

Even so.

Twenty steps is almost the limit.

However, these soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven can walk fifteen steps away from the enemy!

Historically.

The lobster soldiers of the British Empire relied on this trick to eat all over the world.

Put the enemy as close as possible before gathering fire.

This is the greatest merit of the British Army.

But it's not easy to do that.

Soldiers are asked to stare at the enemy's bullets, endure death and fear, raise their guns almost close to the enemy's nose, aim, fire, and charge.

It's a tingling scalp just thinking about it.

Historically, the British Army relied on this trick and was often able to win battles.

And right now.

The soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom are even more ruthless than the lobster soldiers, and their courage is unmatched by any army in this world.

They were all landlords with families and estates.

They know.

They must be brave in the midst of such a war so that their families can continue to survive in this chaotic world.

Better to live.

"Volley!"

Accompanied by a roar.

Rumble!

Thunder thundered.

A neat white smoke appeared in front of the Heavenly King's guard.

Fifteen steps away.

A neat line of blood appeared in front of the Green Flag soldiers.

Suddenly, in the dense queue, there were staggered figures.

"Brother, brother!"

"Crazy, crazy, they're crazy!"

"They're a bunch of crazy people."

"I can't fight, let's run!"

"When I go back to my hometown, I will go to my hometown in Shandong"

The soldiers and officers of the Green Banner were all stunned at this moment.

Some of them were not hit, but they were also discouraged, threw away their guns, and held their heads and shouted for cannons.

Right now.

The second platoon of guns rang out again.

Two platoons of guns.

The Green Flag Chinese Army, the Ming-style musketeers who were pinned on by Fukangan, collapsed on all fronts!

Meanwhile.

The left and right flanks of the Celestial Army.

Under the lead of the elite soldiers, it is also like two heavy hammers.

smashed into the formation of the Green Bannermen.

The astonishing Heavenly Army broke through the blocking net composed of miscellaneous long-range weapons such as guns, bird guns, cannons, bows and arrows, etc.

After enduring a wave of huge casualties.

Meet at close quarters!

It's time for white-knuckle combat.

The key to victory in the war can only be the courage of the soldiers on the front line.

And in this regard.

The army of the Celestial Kingdom has almost a crushing advantage.

It's only ten minutes.

The left, center, and right armies of the Green Banner Army's infantry were all fiercely attacked.

The battle array is shaky!

Only the 30,000 reserves in the rear remained unfazed.

Fukangan stared at the front line.

How can you be so brave?

How can you be so brave?!

Fukangan is unbelievable.

Is this still Han Chinese?

When the Han people can be so brave?

Isn't this cult really having some brainwashing tricks that have turned these cultists into madmen who are not afraid of death?

Fifteen steps.

It's almost the distance between the face and the face.

With bullets in his bearing, he walked fifteen steps and shot.

How can such soldiers be raised?

The children of the Eight Banners are treated enough, right?

Let them stare at the guns?

Don't even think about it.

In fact, Fukangan's thinking is a little complicated.

The first generation of Eight Banners can also do this.

None of them.

The first generation of feudal soldiers was more able to endure hardships.

This is a soldier to fight.

can endure hardships and is not afraid of death.

You can send strong troops!

"Handsome! If you can't stand it, let the cavalry go up for reinforcements! ”

"Marshal, the left flank has collapsed, quickly send reinforcements!"

All of a sudden.

The military attaches around Fukangan were so anxious that their mouths were bubbling.

Fukangan took a deep breath.

is ready to send 10,000 foot soldiers to the top, no matter how you have to withstand the opponent's attack.

Then let the cavalry detour to the flank to harass and force the opponent to retreat.

But his order had just been given.

Seeing that the other party's three armies were in chaos, Liu Zhixie immediately made a decision and pressed out the most elite 8,000 cavalry troops at hand!

Stomp, stomp!

Shaking the heavens and the earth, the horses stepped on the joint venture.

Meanwhile.

The artillery corps of the Kingdom of Heaven moved to the side.

The roar of artillery resounded through the battlefield again.

The front was crushed.

The flanks rushed in, shells whizzing through the dense crowd and sweeping through all flesh and blood.

The first to completely collapse was the right flank of the Green Banner Army.

Organized resistance was lost under the blows of artillery and cavalry.

Began to flee eastward.

It's ten o'clock in dusk.

The entire battlefield was deprived of the green flag of organized resistance.

Under the protection of more than 10,000 cavalry, the commander of the Qing army, Fukangan, fled from the battlefield in a hurry, and fled all the way south to the Luohe River, which was only more than 20 miles away from Yiyang City.

The Taiping army took advantage of the victory to pursue.

Killed all the way to the city of Luoyang.

At the same time as the siege of Luoyang.

also sent a large army to bypass Luoyang, to Huaiqing Mansion, Ruzhou Mansion to sweep and coerce, break the county seat, coerce the people, suddenly, Henan beacons everywhere!

The Qing court's defense of the Central Plains was torn open a big gap in an instant.

Once Luoyang City down.

The army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom marched all the way east, broke Kaifeng, went north to Zhili, and Bingfeng could point directly to Beijing City!

"Dashuai, come on!"

"yes, yes, don't catch a cold."

"We still have more than 10,000 cavalry, and the rout can be quickly gathered, how can we have 20,000 or 30,000, and there is still a chance to turn the tables!"

"Dashuai, Luoyang needs you!"

"Yes, if you don't go to Henan, when the bandits break Luoyang, then everything will really be out of control."

In the middle of the Luo River.

Fukangan, who is 1.8 meters tall, stood in the river with his hands on his chest and closed his eyes.

Say anything and commit suicide by throwing yourself into the river.

It is useless to persuade anyone.

He looks like he has an iron heart.

And in order to show the sincerity of his suicide.

On the one hand, he wrote an excerpt to Emperor Qianlong.

The above first talked about his merits in Pingtai and Jinchuan, and then talked about his hard work in the war with the Ming Dynasty, and finally explained why he committed suicide.

It's not because of the emotional breakdown with my wife, it's not that I'm depressed, and it's not that I have to jump off the building at a loss in business.

But this defeat in Henan, burying more than 30,000 green flags, sorry for the Qing Dynasty, sorry for the emperor, sorry for the ancestors.

I had to die and pull to.

But he's dead and dead.

The sin is only in his well-being, and has nothing to do with the officers below.

Seeing this excerpt, the Green Flag military attachés beat their chests one by one, crying and grabbing the ground, and they didn't know how this excerpt written to the emperor could be seen by them?

Except for the excerpt to the emperor.

Fukudai also arranged his own afterlife.

To whom will he inherit this title?

How to arrange a few wives.

Strive for several sons to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, love the emperor, and love the Qing Dynasty.

In addition, he asked his younger brother Fu Chang'an to come forward and collect the body for himself.

This fold has been written, and the suicide note has also been written.

Also showed it to the big guys.

As a result, Eledeng Bao came up and snatched Fu Ankang's knife.

At this time, Master Fu's plan to wipe his neck with the back of a knife fell through.

And the officers around him don't carry knives anymore, only a scabbard, so Fuku-sama won't beat himself to death with a scabbard, right?

There are no knives.

This Fu-sama's plan to commit suicide can't be realized, right?

Who would have thought.

Fuku-sama can't wipe his neck with the back of a knife.

There is also the trick of jumping into the river.

Just when the army was preparing to cross the Luo River and go to Yiyang City to repair.

Master Fu jumped into the river with a thud.

It's all of a sudden.

So that the first Manchurian Batulu Erle Dengbao failed to react.

The only problem is that the Luo River is too shallow.

Now is not the time for rising water.

The river water that has not yet reached his waist does not know how to make Fudaren commit suicide smoothly.

Do you want to freeze yourself to death?

That's hard, too.

It's noon.

The sun was overhead.

It's not easy to freeze to death.

I'm afraid I won't freeze to death at that time.

These Green Banner officers who came to persuade Marshal Fu to give up the idea of suicide are afraid that they will starve to death.

Just when Fu Dashuai held his hands on his chest and was about to freeze himself to death in the Luo River at noon.

Fucha from Kaifeng. Bright Lying Water came over and yelled.

"Third child, don't pretend to be dead, hurry! Go to Kaifeng, the big clans here in Henan are afraid of the bandits, and they have to contribute money and efforts to protect me! ”

"Look at it, I'm still very popular in the Qing Dynasty!"

"Yes, yes, the world of those who win the hearts of the people, hurry up, Henan needs you."

The crowd persuaded again.

Of course, the landlords in Henan should love the Qing Dynasty.

for the king of heaven is coming, but he will divide their land!

Fukangan opened his eyes and asked: "The Henan clan has this patriotic heart, the love of loyalty to the king, and the life of the handsome, so it will be recorded in the account for the time being, and when the rebels are defeated, another cup of loess, this will be the remnant." ”

"Handsome and wise."

"Dashuai has worked hard."

"This courage still has to be borne by the handsome."
