Chapter 221, Heavenly Collapse, Go North!

Shout!!!!!

The shrill whistling of rockets rang out again.

In front of the Guards Cuirassier Brigade, the Taiping cavalry, which was also heading towards the Cuirassier Brigade, encountered a continuous rocket attack.

Meanwhile.

Rumble!

A huge grenade explodes in the air in a volley!

This is a shrapnel specially designed against infantry!

The huge explosion blasted countless steel balls downward.

Within the explosion range, many soldiers in front of the Taiping army, which formed a dense infantry charge formation, were shot into a sieve.

"Grenade ready! Get ready for a white-knuckle battle!! ”

Wang Dayong saw that the cuirassiers had already been dispatched, and immediately released all the reserves at hand.

At this very moment.

Both sides have already been cleared.

On the Great Plains west of Nanguantao Town, the two sides formed a white-knuckle battle line that was hundreds of paces long.

Countless grenades were thrown forward.

The violent explosion suddenly stalled the momentum of the charging of the musketeers of the old battalion of the Taiping Army.

But they were not defeated.

These old battalion soldiers of the Taiping Army, who had already suffered huge casualties, were red-eyed, holding muskets with bayonets, and only rushed forward in a scattered line of stragglers.

Melee! Melee!

As long as you can enter hand-to-hand combat, the kingdom of heaven will win!

They thought.

"Bayonet! Charge! ”

The officers of the Ming army on the front line also shouted.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have never been afraid of white-knuckle combat!

Rumble!

At least three or four thousand people were killed and wounded by artillery, muskets, and grenades, and the Taiping army, which had only more than 4,000 people left in front of the Ming army, and the infantry of the 4,000 Ming Army Guards Regiment, who had also formed a dense horizontal formation and were ready for bayonet hand-to-hand combat, suddenly collided together.

Poof!

Poof!

The bayonet stabbed the enemy in the chest.

Blood soon stained the line of hand-to-hand combat red.

However.

Even if it's so tragic.

It was not the infantry of both sides that decided the outcome of the battle.

It's the cavalry that is coming in the opposite direction!

The cavalry of the Taiping Army, which had been harassed by the rockets, was now divided into three strands, which were split in front and rear.

But they are still numerous.

And at this time.

The cuirassiers of the Ming army have also begun to accelerate to the fastest.

There was almost no space between the tall horses under the crotch, and a wall of cavalry suddenly pressed over.

It made Ran Tianyuan, who was in charge of commanding the cavalry battle, tingle.

His cavalry was no longer well disturbed by rocket attacks.

"How can this be resisted?"

Ran Tianyuan gritted his teeth.

"Rush! Keep rushing forward!! ”

At this time, the other party is in front of him, and he is about to rush in an instant.

If the cavalry has no speed, it will basically be slaughtered.

Therefore, Ran Tianyuan didn't have time to form a team at all, so he could only barely gather together and continue to rush forward!

However, at this time, the form of the battlefield began to be chaotic again.

The reason turned out to be under the crotch of the Taiping army, some timid horses were afraid when they saw the momentum coming from the road wall in front of them, and they did not dare to rush forward and collide with the opponent, but some horses braked suddenly, which suddenly made the already chaotic military formation even more chaotic, and the horses collided with each other and trampled.

The whole horse team is in chaos!

And right now.

In the first wave, two thousand Ming cuirassiers launched the final charge.

Destroying.

In the first wave, the cavalry of the Taiping Army, which numbered as many as 10,000 horsemen, was crushed at the touch of a button.

The cuirassiers of the Ming army, which were generally pressed by the city wall, crushed over the cavalry of the Taiping army.

They didn't fight hand-to-hand, they just kept running and charging!

The carbines in their hands were made of ash rods, and they would shatter after a collision, so many Ming cavalrymen threw away the broken carbines in their hands, drew out six rounds of revolvers, and fired at the area where the enemy gathered.

The first wave of cavalry ran over.

The next two waves of cuirassiers quickly ran over Gu Bolai again.

The Taiping army horse team was completely dispersed.

Their cavalry was completely scattered, scurrying around the battlefield, and was no longer organized.

And the Ming cuirassiers, who had been crushed over them, adjusted slightly, and began to launch a stormy assault on the second wave of enemies in front.

Five thousand cuirassiers.

The non-stop movement is almost like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

The 30,000 Taiping Army horse team was completely defeated!!

Such a scene stunned Ran Tianyuan and the Taiping generals in the rear.

It's really devastating.

In just half an hour, the elite horse team of the Taiping Army was dashed.

"Isn't this a heavenly soldier?"

Someone exclaimed.

Zhang Hanchao also has a numb scalp.

The muskets of the Ming army were powerful, the artillery was powerful, and the barbed wire array was powerful.

But these are all methods of foot combat, and it is not surprising that the Ming army fought on foot combat.

But now the Ming Army Guards Corps, which is mainly composed of Guangdong and Fujian soldiers, why is even the cavalry so powerful?

Are Guangdong and Fujian places where cavalry is produced?

They don't even have many horses there!!

If the cavalry in Guangdong was really so powerful, how could the Song Dynasty in history be flattened by the Mongolian iron cavalry.

If only the Song Dynasty had five thousand such iron horsemen at that time.

What Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan, what Eight Banners,

Fuck off.

Such a cavalry.

How can it be raised in a place like Guangdong?

So where did Emperor Zhu come from such an elite cavalry?

Everyone was stunned.

Stomp and tread.

After the horse team of the Taiping army was scattered.

The officers and men of the Guards Cuirassier Brigade were on the move, and Colonel Li Sheng was armed with a spear and took the lead.

The roar of artillery has stopped.

The rear of the Taiping army had been scattered by shrapnel bombardments.

Sharp suona suddenly sounded on all fronts.

This is the charge of the Ming army.

"Recovering the Central Plains, in one fell swoop! Charge! ”

Wang Dayong, the chief soldier of the Guards Regiment, suddenly pulled out his sword and pointed diagonally forward.

"Long live !!"

The infantry of the Ming army fought forward with bayonets.

"Kill!!"

The light cavalry of the Ming army also drew their sabers at this time, cut in from another direction, and killed the enemy.

In front of them.

The 100,000-strong place in front of it has begun to collapse like an avalanche of flowers.

Bayonets, sabers, grenades.

The Ming army in fiery red uniforms was like scarlet lava spewing out of a volcanic crater, and everything in its path turned to dust.

And the Taiping army's military formation was completely shattered.

It was five thousand cuirassiers who slammed in from the flanks, like a giant hammer, knocking the already crumbling edifice to the ground.

Liu Zhixie closed his eyes in despair.

He lost.

After the cavalry under the command of the high hopes was so easily dispersed by the five thousand iron cavalry of the Ming army, the outcome of this battle was already doomed.

The cuirassiers, who rode tall and strong, as if every horse were the legendary sweaty horses, were constantly charging, forming a team, crushing, charging.

It's like a pair of iron fists, constantly retracting and swinging.

In front of them.

The old battalion of the Taiping Army was elite and vulnerable.

An idea popped up in Liu Zhixie's mind: Maybe Zhu Daohua can sweep the world with these 5,000 cavalry.

"Heavenly King, let's go! Otherwise, it will be too late!! ”

Liu Zhixie opened his eyes when he heard this.

In front of him.

It was a situation of defeat and defeat.

A large number of routs scattered and fled, and the battle formation of the Ming army was crushing towards them.

The last group of Heavenly Kingdom soldiers under his command who did not go out formed a military formation in front of him, but each Heavenly Kingdom soldier had apprehension and fear on their faces.

Ran Tianyuan, who fought bloodily, was carried down from the front line by several personal soldiers.

is crying and asking Liu Zhixie to leave quickly.

Seeing Liu Zhixie stunned in place, there was no reaction.

He simply struggled to get up, dragged Liu Zhixie's mount and headed west.

Now there are thousands of horses that can be controlled, which is enough to protect the Heavenly King and escape back to Tongguan.

And Liu Zhixie left.

The battlefield is even more one-sided.

The old brothers of the old camp of the Kingdom of Heaven who were still struggling to resist also lost the courage to resist all of a sudden.

Flee with your head in your hands.

"The edict of the Son of Heaven said: Surrender and avoid death!"

Right now.

Some of the loud Ming soldiers began to roar.

Less than 10,000 Taiping soldiers were actually killed, 20,000 or 30,000 were wounded, and more than 100,000 Taiping soldiers were alive.

How could Zhu Daohua be so ruthless as to kill all these hundreds of thousands of Han strong men.

Soon.

The slogan of the shouting has changed.

"The Taiping Army Sihou Luo Siju surrendered to the Ming Dynasty!"

"Yao Zhifu, the martial king of the Taiping Army, has surrendered to the Ming Dynasty!"

With these shouts rang out.

These old brothers of the Taiping Army did not even have the will to escape.

A marquis and a prince both voted.

What else are they resisting?

Soon.

Some of the old soldiers of the Taiping Army threw away their weapons and sat in the snow waiting for the Ming army to come and catch them.

Liu Laoba squatted in the snow and cried.

His Zhuangzi.

His two-roomed wife.

It's all gone.

It's all gone.

The kingdom of heaven is gone.

Zhuangzi is also gone.

Future. Not to mention it.

"What are you crying about, we won't kill!"

The official dialect with a Cantonese accent sounded.

Liu Laoba looked up, but saw the Ming soldier pointing his finger.

"Where to meet?"

Liu Laoba sighed.

That's it, that's it.

In troubled times, human life is not as good as a dog.

It's good to be able to save a life.

other

I can't force it.

"Win!"

Zhu Daohua, who was in the command post behind, breathed a sigh of relief.

A moment later.

He instructed: "Gather all the defeated troops, temporarily gather the troops of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to Xuzhou, and order Xue Siyuan, the prefect of Xuzhou, to properly manage them first." ”

"Your Majesty, these Heavenly Kingdom troops, are you planning to let them go to Liaodong?"

"Liaodong?" Zhu Daohua shook his head and looked to the east.

"Organize into a military camp and go to the Americas!"

At least 100,000 heavenly soldiers were captured in this battle,

In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of coerced people in the Zhaozhou camp who stayed in Liu Zhixie, and they can also draw out strong men and buy hundreds of thousands of girls from Japan, and they can form more than 100,000 colonists.

Warriors of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Go for the Chinese colonization of the Americas!

"Drive Liu Zhixie to Guanzhong, don't let him appear in the Central Plains again!"

Zhu Daohua said.

"The infantry battalion of the Guards Regiment is responsible for collecting the Taiping army routs from all over Henan, and the cuirassier brigade will go north with me!"

"Goal: Defeat the Qing Tartar army!"
