Chapter 115: Liu Liangzuo's Death

The camp of the Qing army was already in chaos, and the Qing soldiers who had been attacked by rockets were scurrying around.

In the darkness ahead, there was a sound of footsteps. Countless Ming troops poured towards the Qing army's camp.

"Minggou is here! Kombat ! Someone shouted.

In the chaos, some Qing army officers waved their knives and cut off the heads of several Qing soldiers, forcing the Qing soldiers to form a formation to meet the Ming army. Bullets and feathered arrows were fired from some of the tents of the Qing army that had not been blown up.

Bullets and arrows came, and several Ming soldiers were shot and fell. However, the sparse firepower of the Qing army could not withstand the fierce attack of the Ming army, and in an instant, the Ming army rushed to the trench outside the Qing army's camp.

The wooden fence of the Qing army camp has long been destroyed by artillery fire, and only the trenches on the periphery of the barracks remain.

"Fire!" Gong Xiaoda roared.

The musketeers picked up their guns and fired a volley at the Qing army camp that was blazing into the sky, and the dense bullets rained into the Qing army camp.

The Qing soldiers in the camp were stunned as they watched rows of muskets with bayonets firing more than ten paces away, the flames flickered, blood red splashed, and I don't know how many people fell in the chaos. Some of the clever ones fell into the rain with a scream before they could hear the gunshots. When the gunshots rang out, these clever soldiers reached out from the corpses next to them, grabbed a handful of blood and smeared it on their faces, and then lay motionless in the pile of corpses.

"Kill!" The musketeers, armed with their bayonets on their armies, shouted and charged at the Qing army.

"Hurry up!" Chen Yongfu shouted.

The auxiliaries carrying the bridge mixed in with the musketeers and rushed to the trench, and the auxiliaries lowered the bridge one after another and erected themselves on the trench. Then a large number of musketeers with bayonets rushed into the Qing army camp with shouts.

"Minggou rushed over! Get up and stop them! The Qing army officer roared hoarsely.

Under the pressure of the Eight Banners, the Huguang New Army, and the backbone officers at the grassroots level, some Qing soldiers took up arms and formed a formation to resist the onslaught of the Ming army.

Who knew that the Ming musketeers did not rush forward head-on, but raised their hands to throw iron bumps one after another.

"Not good! Get out of the way! Some Qing army officers recognized the power of that kind of thing and exclaimed.

Before the words fell, the violent explosion had already interrupted the shouting of the Qing army officer, and the grenades that smashed over the sky exploded in the crowd of the Qing army, and the sharp shrapnel was like a chopping knife, and a knife cut the crowd of the Qing army, like a fat meat filling on the side, each knife splashed countless blood juices, and also brought up pieces of scattered meat.

After the Ming musketeers threw their grenades, the formation dispersed, and a large number of sword players and pikemen rushed out from behind the musketeers, pouring into the chaotic crowd of Qing troops. The musketeers also charged with the hand-to-hand combatants, and their sharp bayonets knocked out many of the Qing soldiers who tried to resist.

The Huguang New Army is quite strong, especially the hand-to-hand combat soldiers of the Huguang New Army. They wielded all kinds of cold weapons and resisted stubbornly in the rainy night.

The sword and shield men slammed into the formation of the Qing soldiers, allowing the spears and broadswords to beckon them, and the iron armor and shields effectively protected the sword and shield hands. The sword and shield hand that attacked the formation of the new army in Huguang swung his knife and slashed, like an arrow, tearing apart the formation of the Qing army. The pikemen behind followed and burst in, and the spears swallowed like poisonous snakes, reaping the lives of the Qing soldiers. The musketeers bent on their waists, interspersed in formation, constantly looking for opportunities to suddenly stab out.

What made the Huguang New Army even more angry was that those Ming musketeers also threw a black iron lump into the most densely populated place of their crowd from time to time, and then there was a flash of fire, and a large number of loyal and brave Huguang New soldiers fell.

Ironclad soldiers, sword and shield men, pikemen, halberd soldiers, and musketeers who were used as bombardiers and spearmen broke through the formation of the Huguang New Army like killing chickens and dogs, and no matter how strong these Huguang New Army were, they could not control the situation, and the formation of the Qing army began to completely collapse.

Liu Liangzuo, the general of the Huguang New Army of the Qing army, was still a fierce general, and when the situation was already completely chaotic, he rode his zebra and led hundreds of his own soldiers to launch a counter-charge against the Ming army.

"Brethren! We eat the court, and now is the time to kill thieves for the court! Liu Liangzuo pointed a spear in his hand, and led his own soldiers to fight back to the Ming army formation.

Under the effect of horsepower, the "Bang Dang" spear slammed into the shield of a Ming army ironclad soldier, and the ironclad soldier was knocked out of the air, although it looked intact on the outside, but its internal organs were broken, and he spat blood from his mouth, and he couldn't survive.

Liu Liangzuo brandished a spear as a stick, and the spear swept over, and the three Ming soldiers were swept over.

The pro-soldiers on both wings rode horses, charging with their main generals, constantly slashing and killing the Ming army.

Under the encouragement of the main general, the already low morale of the Huguang New Army was stimulated at once, and many people also followed their main general to kill the Ming army formation.

Hundreds of spears stretched out from behind the ironclad soldiers and sword and shield men, and several of Liu Liangzuo's personal soldiers and horses were hung on the spears, and the war horses knocked several pikemen away. The pro-soldiers behind were killed and continued to ram the Ming formation. However, the formation of the Ming army was unusually thick, and no matter how Liu Liangzuo pierced it, it could not penetrate it, but continuously damaged his own soldiers.

"Die!" Just when the war horse was about to collide with the spear of the Ming army, Liu Liangzuo showed his superb equestrian skills and pulled up the war horse violently to avoid the spear's thrust. He waved the spear in his hand, successively picked off the spears of several Ming pikemen, and then rode his horse and rushed forward, trampling several pikemen under the hooves of the horses.

However, after Liu Liangzuo's horse slowed down, he could no longer break out of the Ming army's array, and several halberds stabbed over, Liu Liangzuo waved his spear to block, but was hooked by many halberds and pulled off his horse.

Liu Liangzuo was a fierce general, and after falling off the horse, he still slashed and killed five Ming soldiers, but he was finally chopped into meat by the Ming army. This famous retainer who massacred Jiangyin, killed Yan Yingyuan, and later participated in the Nanchang Massacre, died in the chaos of the army.

"General Liu is dead!" Liu Liangzuo's death completely caused the morale of the Huguang New Army to fall to the bottom.

The Huguang New Army, known as the most formidable, finally began to collapse and completely lost its will to resist.

To add insult to injury, the two wings of their camp sounded the sound of horses' hooves.

The "bang" war horse opened the wooden fence on the right flank that had not been collapsed by artillery fire, and then a group of war horses poured into the barracks. Before the cavalry could rush in front of the Qing army, they heard the sound of muskets, and each light cavalryman fired two guns in unison, and four rounds of bullets were fired with a double-barreled short gun.

Horses step on the camp! The Qing army, which was disrupted by the Ming infantry, was unable to form a formation to resist the onslaught of the light cavalry, and countless horses' hooves trampled past, tents fell one after another, and canvases and corpses were trampled by the horses' hooves in the rain like garbage.

The dragoons of the Qiongzhou army were originally composed of Ming cavalry and Mongol prisoners, they were originally light cavalry, and the dragoons on a rainy night gave up muskets and bows and arrows, and became light cavalry equipped with sabers, just to let them change back to their old jobs. The cavalry galloped past the chaotic Qing soldiers, and the sabre followed by the momentum of the war horse slashed slightly, quickly cutting off the human head and splitting the human body in two.

The Qing soldiers who were caught up by the cavalry either fell in a pool of blood with their heads in different places, or were cut off by the waist, or trampled by the hooves of horses.

The Qing army was already in complete chaos, and tens of thousands of troops were crushed.

The light cavalry of the Ming army drove the Qing soldiers on both flanks, driving them to the middle, allowing the Qing soldiers to trample on each other, making the crowded formation even more chaotic.

The infantry of the Ming army in the middle formed a formation to kill, squeezing the deformed formation of the Qing army from the front, and the weapons in their hands were like mowing grass to harvest the lives of the Qing army.

In the confusion, the Qing soldiers completely lost their fighting spirit, and the Qing soldiers who were attacked by the Ming infantry only symbolically blocked with their weapons a few times, and then squeezed into the middle of the crowd, trying to squeeze themselves to the back and expose their companions to the Ming army. Anyway, at this time, everyone only thinks that they can live, and it doesn't matter if their companions die. In short, it is the best choice for friends of the dead to not die and the poor to die.

"Defeated!" Zhuo Butai knew that the situation was completely out of control.

The shape of the Qing army, which was crowded and chaotic and severely deformed, turned into a dough that seemed to be kneaded by someone, and the person who kneaded the dough squeezed it hard, and a thin line of noodles appeared at the end of the dough, which slowly flowed out of the dough.

The formation of the Qing army is now like this, and people are constantly running out from the tail of the formation, and the trickle converges into a routed crowd. The oval formation is also getting narrower and narrower, everyone is fighting for their lives, trampling on each other in the chaos, I don't know how many people have been trampled to death. At this time, as long as someone falls to the ground, they can no longer get up, and thousands of feet trample over them.

The Qing soldiers who had managed to escape from the chaotic formation were all taking off their armor, and everything that hindered their escape, such as armor, muskets, swords, spears, shields, hats, ammunition, bows and arrows, was discarded like garbage, and many of them even ran away with their shoes and ran barefoot in the rain.

The chaotic Qing army poured towards Jinhua City, which was several miles away, and several Goshha protected Zhuo Butai and fled in the direction of Jinhua City. There were many crowded rebels who wanted to compete with Zhuo Butai, but they were all cut down by Goshha.

When Zhuo Butai and his party fled to the city of Jinhua, they saw that many defeated soldiers had gathered under the city, and they were scolding and shouting for the defenders of the city to open the door.

"Open the door! It's General Zhengnan who is here! Djobtai's Goshha raised his head and shouted.

At the head of the city, the prefect of the Qing court poked his head out, and with the help of the lighting of the torches, he saw clearly that it was indeed Zhuo Butai who came back with the defeated soldiers, and then he ordered to open the city gate and let Zhuo Butai and others enter the city.

There was chaos outside the city, and the Qing soldiers and generals who had been defeated and retreated fled back one after another. The sky was slightly bright, and a large number of Qing soldiers did not have time to flee back to the city, and at this time, the shadow of the heavy cavalry of the Ming army appeared outside the city.

"Close the door!" Zhuo Butai shouted anxiously.

The defeated rebels still poured into the city gates, the drawbridge was crowded with people, and people kept falling into the water and screaming and falling into the moat.

"Hurry up and release the arrows! Pull up the drawbridge! Zhuo Butai roared. (To be continued.) )
