Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 505: Follow my horse to kill the enemy

When Ma Xiong ordered the cavalry to rush into the formation, he also ordered Li Ruchun, the deputy general of Fubiao, Li Bensheng, the Cangwu army patrol road, and other troops to also initiate the war against the Ming army. Looking up from the top of Wuzhou City, the crowd was as dense as a tide, pushing towards the Taiping army wave after wave. The Taiping army on the other side found that the Qing army had also shrunk the front after the general attack, ready to meet the full blow of the Qing army.

When the central army of the Qing army stepped into the distance of two miles in front of the formation of the Ming army, the command flag on the hillside moved, and dozens of artillery pieces on both sides of the Ming army roared and smashed the cannonballs into the Qing army's formation. . This round of artillery bombardment was even more violent than before, all the large and small artillery fired, only turning the front of the formation into a slender corridor of flesh and blood.

Some timid Green Battalion soldiers were frightened when they saw the stumps all over the ground. They turned around and wanted to run away, but they were immediately dragged aside by Ma Xiong's pacesetter who was supervising the battle and beheaded. When the other Qing soldiers saw it, they could only bite the bullet and speed up to move on. After a while, the front line of the Qing army approached a hundred paces in front of the Ming army. The foot archers in the team trotted out under the urging and scolding of their respective officers. In one round, thick smoke rose from the front of the Ming army gun formation on the opposite hillside, and then lead pellets fell into the Qing army column from both sides like hail. The sound of bullets slamming into the flesh and the screams of unfortunate ghosts were all around. Some cowards who had just become soldiers of the Qing Dynasty from the common people for a few days actually became mad and sat on the ground crying and laughing, rolling as usual. He was slashed and killed by the soldiers.

Seeing that the Ming army's firearms were powerful, the cavalry over there was already rushing towards the left flank of the Ming army. Ma Xiong hurriedly ordered the Qing army to charge ahead of time and fight with the Ming army infantry as soon as possible. Give them another punch, and the Ming army will definitely collapse. Accompanied by the sudden and rapid sound of cowhide drums after the battle, a roar of anger sounded in the Qing army's formation, and it was like a black mist, rapidly approaching the Ming army's formation.

On the opposite hillside, the gunners and gunnery teams on both sides of the Taiping army's great formation were still taking the lives of the Qing army's formation unhurriedly. Just after the sound of the cannon, there was a volley of bird guns like fried beans, and then there was a burst of cannon roaring, the rhythm was like the alternation of the orchestra.

Although the Taiping Army was well-fed and treated well, and officers were prohibited from beating soldiers at will, their daily drills were extremely harsh. Those who did not complete the action according to the regulations of the exercise code were all beaten by military sticks to the point of crying and screaming, and some of the dumb ones were beaten alive. With these chickens as role models, how dare the monkeys be lazy and slippery? After two months of training, all of them were obedient and did not dare to complete their movements without obeying orders.

The results of this training should be on the Qing army at this time, and they fell one by one according to the rhythm, causing heavy casualties. When the Qing army rushed into the front thirty steps of the Ming army, the Taiping army's artillery suddenly burst into a rain of bullets, and the scattered lead bullets flew into the Qing army's front like a flower, and immediately fell down again.

As the last cannon fired the cannonballs, the armored elites in the first two rows of the Qing army were almost swept away. Some Qing soldiers who fell to the ground with minor injuries were trampled to the ground by their fellow troopers in the rear just as they tried to get up, and they were trampled to death. Seeing that the Qing army continued to approach, the officers of the artillery battalion of the Ming army blew their whistle and told the gunners to drop their cannons and run back to the infantry line. The infantrymen, who had been waiting for a long time, leveled their spears as soon as the gunners ran past, and stabilized their center of gravity with one bow and one foot, forming a long wall of thorns. After a few breaths of time, arrows, darts and throwing axes flew from the smoke from the cannons. Dozens of soldiers who were hit fell to the ground, and more were hit by the armored infantry at the front of the Taiping Army. On top of the various colored iron armors, there is no lethal damage.

The arrow bounced off by the iron armor has not yet fallen to the ground, and the Qing soldiers in the front row have howled and rushed forward to join the Ming army infantry again. The front line of the two armies suddenly resounded with the sound of shouting and killing and the puff sound of the spear tip penetrating the human body. To the surprise of the Qing army, most of the soldiers who fell in hand-to-hand combat were Qing soldiers with braids.

The Taiping army commander Zhou Shixiang's previous life served in the iron army for many years, and several sets of assassination routines were brought into the Taiping army by him. Although bayonets and rifles have become spear tips and twelve-foot white rods, their skills and power generation characteristics are not without the same. The commander himself often gave guidance to the troops in training, and organized various assassination competitions. The winner of a trip will be rewarded with five shi of food stamps and ten catties of pork.

Such material stimuli naturally attracted soldiers to flock to them, and there were even more trainings after daily practice. The training intensity of Laosi Town is far more intense than that of Houjian Town. The Taiping infantry that has been trained in this way will naturally have an advantage over the Qing troops who have exercised every few days. The Taiping army was either in groups of two or three. One person stabbed the enemy in the head and the other hit his chest and abdomen. Even the highly skilled warriors were just scrambling to resist, let alone ordinary Qing soldiers, who were killed. Howling and howling. In just a moment, the front of the Taiping army was already covered with the dead bodies of the Qing army, but he did not lose much, and most of the wounded were dragged back to the battle for treatment.

Seeing that the attack of the front line of the Qing army was stagnant, Tie Yi, the second general of the town, hurriedly ordered the infantry in the middle to advance. A long sound of suona sounded, and the sound of dense military drums immediately sounded in the Taiping infantry formation. The Ming officers and soldiers stepped on the drum beat of the Taixi snare drum imported from the Portuguese in Macau by the Taiping Army, and walked in unison to the retreating Qing army. Some daring Qing army officers brought their own soldiers and tried to rush to disrupt the formation of the Ming army, and were immediately pierced by dozens of spears.

The few who held on to their anger were also pierced by the throats of the gunners and cooks who were advancing behind the formation with spears or daggers. The Qing army couldn't stand the front line and retreated step by step. However, at this time, the two Qing army formations at the back also pressed over, and the Qing soldiers in the front formation had no way to retreat, so they could only bite the bullet and fight forward with the Ming army, and then they were overturned by thorns. Before the front lines of the two sides, the corpses piled higher and higher, and the blood and floating dust that flowed to the low-lying places became muddy and slippery after a while, but they could not stop the advance of the Taiping Army's central infantry formation.

This tragic scene made Li Ruchun, the deputy general of Fubiao, see his scalp numb. The soldiers he had raised for several years, or the elite soldiers who fought with the old thief Li Dingguo, were slaughtered by the Taiping army like pigs and sheep!

Is this a dream?

Li Ruchun tried to wipe his eyes, but he couldn't wake up from the nightmare at all. The Cangwu Soldier Patrol Road Li Bensheng also turned pale. The Taiping bandits were so fierce and frightened that his feet were weak before the Guilin soldiers approached. The supervising team stepped forward and killed several cowards in the back team, but did not let the right team of the central army take a few more steps. The morale of the Chinese army is so high, how can we fight this battle? !

............

The Qing army's infantry battle was stubbornly resisted by the Taiping army's infantry formation and was killed in large numbers. At the same time, more than 2,000 Qing army cavalry wearing brimless, cone-shaped and trumpet hats made of rattan and bamboo madly rushed towards the Taiping army infantry. On the right flank of the great formation, there were even more brave Qing soldiers in the middle, bare-chested, wearing only a white back hat, waving sabres and shouting to charge at the forefront. However, before rushing into the great formation of the Ming army, the warhorse under the crotch did not obey the instructions of the reins and turned. The rider on the horse looked closely, and the battle formation of the Ming army in front of him turned out to be lush, like a jungle! To be precise, a bamboo forest woven with spears.

The bamboo forest with the spear tips erected was densely packed with no less than a thousand spears, and the tips of the spears shone with cold light. In addition, the infantry had never been able to disrupt the formation of the Taiping army. Naturally, the Qing army cavalry did not dare to take their lives to touch this "bamboo forest". The leading deputy general Ma Mingyuan saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to bypass the charge, but the gunmen of the Ming army on both sides began to put up their platoons. Heiga, who fell from the horse, was shocked. The heavy fall just now broke his shin. He could only endure the severe pain and rely on a dead horse as a spectator, hoping that his comrades would avenge him. Unexpectedly, the comrades failed to break through the formation of the Ming army, but instead threw their horses around.

The Ming army's footsteps sounded snarling suonas, and then a group of gunmen pressed forward to the front according to the drums beaten by the drummers on both sides of the team. The gunmen of the Ming army stepped on the wounded Qing cavalry. Those wounded Qing soldiers thought that the other party would not kill them, and they all said Hu Da's blessing. Swordsmen, they searched the Qing soldiers who were not dead one by one, and then used long swords to kill them.

Heiga held the long knife and tried to resist, but was picked up by a stick, and then held down and cut his neck with the knife. Blood splashed out from the arteries, and Heiga's heart was full of fear. He wanted to call Hu Da, but in front of him he saw his old mother who had been dead for many years beckoning to him, and the sky was getting dark.

In the distance, the sound of cannons rumbled, and the screams of killing still shook the sky.

"What is the Qing Yao called?"

On the hillside~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Tie Yi put down the telescopic mirror, and he was relieved that the infantry array successfully withstood the Qing army cavalry. Gushan Ezhen, who was originally from the Eight Banners, is now a deputy general of the second town, Su Rile, who knows a little more about the Qing army. Hearing Tie Yi's question, he stepped forward and said, "They are called Hu Dabaoyou."

"Da Hu bless?" Tie Yi was startled, "Who is Hu Da who can bless them?"

"The general did not know that Ma Xiong, the defender of Wuzhou, was Huihui from Ningxia, and his soldiers were all Huihui soldiers from Guyuan. They were originally commanded by his adoptive father, Ma Jiaolin. After Ma Jiaolin died, these Huihui soldiers all returned. Ma Xiong, because his father and son are both surnamed Ma, and there are many generals surnamed Ma in the Huihui soldiers, so outsiders call this Huihui soldiers the Majia Army." Having said this, Su Rile smiled and added: " That Hu Da is the **** of Huihui, and Huihui soldiers believe in him, just like the Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Jade Emperor that the Han people believe in, they are all gods in the sky."

"Oh?"

Tie Yi suddenly became happy, pointed at Ma Jiajun and said, "They are going back to Jiao Xin Hu, and we are Luo Jiao Xin's commander. I want to see if their Hu is more powerful, or ours is more powerful!" After he finished speaking , waving the red flag.

Seeing Ling Qi waving and sitting lazily on the ground, King Harrier. Auxiliary minister quickly got on his horse, holding a long spear in his hand and wearing a red robe on his body. The Qing army cavalry first shook his head, then smiled contemptuously, yanked the reins violently, the horse under his crotch neighed immediately, raised his front hooves high, and when it fell again, it was already rushing forward.

"Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy!" (To be continued.)
