In Baoji City, the moat was filled with corpses and sandbags outside the city, and the corpses and sandbags under the city were piled up into a hill, and the height was already equal to the city wall. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The homeless cannon fodder in front had already climbed up to the city, and Zhao Xiaowu, who had survived many disasters, held a simple wooden spear in his hand and followed the surging crowd to climb up to the city. A Qing soldier swung his knife and slashed at him, killing three homeless people around Zhao Xiaowu in a row. Just as the Qing soldier drew his sword, Zhao Xiaowu stabbed a wooden spear and pierced the throat of the Qing soldier.

The soldiers of the loyal battalion behind had also reached the top of the city, and fierce hand-to-hand combat began on the city.

"Kill!" Hao Shaoqi pulled out his sword and pointed in the direction of the city wall.

"Kill the Tartars!" More than 1,000 cavalry of the loyal battalion shouted in unison, the sound of killing shook the sky, the sound of horses' hooves roared, and the cavalry rushed directly towards the hill of corpses and sacks.

The cavalry stepped directly on the head of the city and trampled through the Qing army's soldiers, auxiliaries and people, leaving a bloody path at the head of the city. The formation of the Qing army was like an avalanche, quickly crumbling, some people desperately ran in the direction of the steps, and many more panicked and jumped directly from the city wall.

In the direction of the south gate, Liu Tichun blew up the city wall, and the loyal battalion poured into the city.

"Wang Jinbao has already run away!" The shouting and scolding in the yamen of the Zhizhou in the city continued, and the city was about to be broken, but Wang Jinbao could not be found, and he did not hear the news of his death, so the Qing court magistrates and generals who stayed in the city understood that Wang Jinbao must have run away.

Some chose to surrender, while others chose to flee for their lives through the east gate. Facts have proved that surrender is the wisest choice, and those who surrender survived, while those Qing soldiers and officials who chose to flee from the east gate were pursued and killed by a thousand cavalry of the loyal battalion, and their corpses were strewn all over the field and rivers of blood flowed.

……

Hundreds of miles away by the Yellow River, after a day and a night of intense construction by the Wu army, six pontoon bridges appeared on the river.

The artillery positions of the Qing army on the north bank were attacked by both the artillery and the surface artillery of the Wu army on the opposite bank, and the Qing army's artillery was suppressed, and the Wu army opened the road to the north bank.

The commander of the Qing army, Ba Hai, took the method of attacking half-crossing, ordered the cavalry to line up a hundred steps away from the Wu army's pontoon bridge, and only waited for the Wu army's infantry to go ashore, and then launched an attack in the direction of the pontoon bridge, and used the cavalry to quickly rush to deal with the Wu army's infantry who had just crossed the river and had not yet formed a formation on the bank.

"The Tartar cavalry is assembled on the opposite bank! Hum! They want to use a half-cross attack against us! Then let the Tartars see how good we are! Wu Sangui, who was standing on a high platform on the south bank, pointed to the other side and said.

After Wu Sangui finished speaking, he turned his head and gave an order to Lin Xingzhu: "Move a swarm of bee cars onto your fast boat!" Remember not to be exposed! Approaching the shore, when our men begin to cross the pontoon bridge, the Qinggou cavalry will definitely come and kill! When the time comes, you will suddenly lift the canvas and use a swarm of bee fire vans to beat Lao Tzu's cavalry to clear the dogs! ”

Sergeant Wu carried 26 swarming bee vans onto Lin Xingzhu's thirteen improvised warships, and if this kind of rocket was used on a sailboat, the tail flame could easily ignite the sails, and it was very dangerous to use. However, Lin Xingzhu's improvised warship has neither sails nor masts, as long as the rocket is flattened, the tail flame will not hurt his ship, and of course, if the rocket is flattened, the range will be shortened a lot.

Lin Xingzhu ordered that the Franc machine guns on the ship be removed, a swarm of bee vans was loaded onto the ship, and canvas was covered on the fire vans. In addition to two swarms of bee vans on each ship, there were ten rifled gunners. Thirteen warships then slowly approached the opposite shore.

At the same time, Lin Xingzhu also asked a group of Wu army's sharpshooters, flintlock musketeers, and bird gunners to board the big raft and move closer to the shore.

"Kill the dog!" Crowds of Wu officers and soldiers stepped onto the pontoon bridge and rushed towards the opposite bank.

"Wu Dog is going to cross the river! Prepare to wait for Wu Gou to cross the pontoon bridge, and before he can gain a firm foothold, he will launch a charge! Bahai turned his head and gave an order to Gurmahun of the Eight Banners New Army Horse Team.

"Wow!" Gurmahun turned his head and yelled at the Eight Banners New Army Horse Team: "Sons! All on board! Just wait for Wu Dog to cross the river, and then give Lao Tzu a rush! ”

The five thousand and eight banner cavalrymen got on their horses in unison, drew their sabers, and prepared for the attack.

"My lord, there are Wu dog's boats approaching on the river!" A personal soldier reported to Bahai.

Ba Hai sneered disapprelicly: "Wu Gou wants to use the ship's artillery and bows and arrows against our cavalry? Hum! The bow is too powerful, and the cannon is too slow to reload. I, the Manchurian sons, fought to lose hundreds of people, and we could level the Wu dog infantry and destroy the pontoon bridge! Wu Gou thought that a few cannons would be able to stop my Eight Banners Iron Horse? ”

In the blink of an eye, the large group of infantry of Wu Sangui's army had already rushed halfway across the pontoon bridge, shouting and rushing towards the north bank.

"Sons, charge!" Gurmahun roared.

The 5,000-8 Banner cavalry whipped their horses violently, and the horses fell apart and pressed towards the pontoon bridge on the bank of the river, and the speed of the horses gradually increased. At this time, the vanguard of the Wu army had already set foot on the riverbank, and it was too late to form a formation. If the cavalry of the Qing army rushed into the infantry of the Wu army at this time, they could cut melons and vegetables, trample on the horses, disrupt the Wu army, and drive the Wu army back from the river bank.

At the same time, Lin Xingzhu gave an order: "Ready!" ”

On the Wu army's warship, the operators of the swarm of bee cars on board lifted the canvas and lit the torches. With an order, a piercing whistling sound suddenly sounded on the surface of the river, and the overwhelming rockets were like a rain of meteors in the sky, pressing down in the direction of the Qing cavalry's impact.

After the last battle between the Wu army and the Qing army, Wu Sangui almost exhausted all the swarm of rockets. Later, Wu Sangui asked people to buy a batch of them, and these rockets bought this time were filled with added gunpowder, and the explosion power was seven times stronger than ordinary black gunpowder. The explosive power of each rocket is equivalent to an 80-millimeter mortar shell in later generations, which is already very amazing in this era.

The rocket landed in the Qing army's horse team, blooming one after another, and in the explosion, the Qing cavalry around the flames were swept into the air one after another by the air waves, and were shattered in the splashing iron beads and fragments, turning into a canopy of scattered blood mist. Some rockets fell on the ground and exploded, and the cavalry of the Qing army flew into the sky with men and horses.

The corpse of the fallen war horse tripped over the war horse behind it. Standing in the distance and looking at it, I saw that the rockets that landed exploded, forming a wall of fire, and the Qing soldiers who hit the wall of fire fell one after another.

"Damn! Wu Gou actually carried a swarm of bee fire vans on the ship! Bahai gasped.

Just after a swarm of rockets was launched, the rifled gunners on the Wu army's warships also opened fire at the same time, and the guns on several large rafts also spewed fire. When the Qing army approached, the archers and musketeers on the rafts of the Wu army fired fiercely.

There were very few Qing cavalry that could rush through, and the Wu infantry who crossed the river met with spears, although the formation was very weak and imperfect, but it was enough to deal with the few remaining Qing soldiers.
