For a while, everyone's eyes were focused on the direction of the cavalry impact, more than two hundred cavalry were galloping in the snow, and the snow raised by the horses' hooves was like a light snow in the air, and the blizzard rushed to the side where Zheng Zhihu was.

The land is not cool, and the ball is sealed by Yang Sun

Zheng Zhihu roared, snatched a spear from a chaotic soldier beside him, poked the spear shaft to the ground, the tip of the spear pointed to the direction of the cavalry rushing, squatted down, and the cavalry who took the lead saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly pulled the horse's head back, but now there was no way to pull it at such a speed, so he could only watch the horse's chest slam against the tip of the spear. I only heard a pop, and the horse's blood splashed all over Zheng Zhihu's body, and the horse immediately stopped, rolled to the ground, and kicked all four hooves. Due to inertia, the cavalry flew directly from the horse's head and fell on the corpse, and it took a while to recover his strength.

"Bang bang bang" As a dense burst of gunfire came from the side, the cavalry were horrified to find a large group of riflemen on their right, firing rifles at the fast-moving cavalry company in a standard double-row round fire. The riflemen didn't have to worry too much about injuring their own people, their target was the cavalry, the cavalry on horseback was much higher than the infantry at a distance, and even if there was no cavalry, the bullets would fall on the heads of the incoming enemies who were rushing in the vicinity, and there would be little waste of bullets anyway.

The distant hatred complex is observed by Gujigangke

The distance between the two sides was only a hundred meters at this moment, and the accuracy of the rifles in the Senate was exposed at this moment, and the number of riflemen was not large, but this salvo caused at least forty casualties to the cavalry, who were originally only in their early two hundreds, and after such a violent beating, there were only more than one hundred and fifty people left. Zheng Jiajun saw that his own shooting had caused such a huge damage to the cavalry, and they were so excited that their hands that were originally shaking because of the cold no longer trembled, and rushed towards the enemy on the opposite side with a shout.

And the soldiers of the rebellious army in front of them, originally saw the cavalry detour from the flank and rushed towards the official army, one by one morale was high, and they were about to kill the Quartet, but when they saw the cavalry suddenly fall by one-fifth, they couldn't help but be surprised. Most of them are veterans, and as long as the cavalry rushes to the flank of the official army or the village warriors in the battle on weekdays, it can be said that the victory of the battle is decided, but what is going on now? In particular, the flagpoles of the several cavalrymen who took the lead also fell directly to the ground with the people on their backs, and they were suddenly trampled under the feet of the officers and soldiers, and they suddenly lost their sharpness.

"Where's the firebolt?" He Yilong couldn't help but roar, aren't the firecrackers of the official army all on the front line? Didn't you just fight with your own infantry? Where did these firecrackers come from? Is there still an ambush?

Those musketeers are actually not ambushes at all, these riflemen are actually those riflemen of the Zheng family's army, and the reason why Zheng Zhihu rushed to fight with the infantry just now was to buy time for the riflemen to retreat to the two wings. According to Xu Wei's instructions, Zheng Zhihu ordered a small team of about fifty riflemen to ambush in the snow first, in order to prevent the cavalry from smoothly driving straight into the left flank of Zheng's army.

Sure enough, after these riflemen quickly withdrew from a distance of about 100 meters, they were in the middle of the whole team, and saw that the cavalry had already attacked, and the vanguard was even very close to the left flank of the Zheng family's army, so they didn't care about not getting the order, and they took the initiative to ask for battle, and the rifles aimed at the cavalry who were running and opened fire directly.

The effect of this fire was very good, unlike the previous infantry, which fired at the oncoming rebels, who charged at full speed from the flanks, and their attention was focused on the positive direction of the attack, and they were not observant of the battlefield situation on both sides. Therefore, the riflemen shot as easily as a target, and the cavalry did not even dodge a large area.

At the same time, the right flank of Zheng Jiajun also began to burst with rifle fire. The riflemen who had retreated from the front did not retreat, they simply split into two groups, turned to the left and right flanks, retreated about a hundred meters, and then regrouped. Due to the location of the infantry melee in the center of the battlefield, and the small number of infantry of the Zheng family's army, the left and right sides of the battle line were now covered by the soldiers of the rebel army, who tried to surround and annihilate the Zheng family's infantry. But now the riflemen on the right flank followed closely by the riflemen on the left flank and also opened fire, if the Zheng Jiajun and the rebel army were evenly matched, the two sides would be in a group in front, and the riflemen behind would not dare to shoot indiscriminately. But now it's different, the right flank of the infantry of the Zheng family army has been completely wrapped in the infantry of the chaotic army, and the two sides are so busy that no one can see a large group of riflemen behind them I don't know when a large group of riflemen appeared, and with this wave of bullets over, the originally dense rebel soldiers suddenly fell down. The soldiers of the rebellious army who were not beaten suddenly panicked, and they turned to look at the direction of the bullets, but they were put to the ground by the soldiers of the Zheng family army behind them as if they were chopping melons and vegetables.

Although the cavalry on the left flank was seriously damaged, they still rushed into the battle group head-on, and also caused some casualties to the Zheng army, but the second wave of salvo was quickly launched, and the cavalry were riding on horseback, and the infantry above the ground was a long section, and they had to keep their eyes on the enemy on the ground, so one by one they were like targets, and they were suddenly overturned about fifty people.

The cavalry were really panicked at this time, they originally only had about 200 people, and after these two volleys, almost 100 people were killed by guns alone, and more than 10 people fell off their horses in the battle with the local officers and soldiers, and now there are only a few dozen people still on horseback, and no one has the courage to continue fighting, so a few people immediately turned their horses and fled. They knew that if they fled back to their own formation, they would probably be beheaded as deserters, so they fled directly to the distance on the left side of the battlefield, anyway, they were the only ones in the entire camp who had horses, and no one could chase them except themselves.

When He Yilong saw this situation, he couldn't help but curse again and again, but it didn't help, his subordinates really didn't have the units that could pursue these defeated cavalry, so they could only let it go. He looked around for a moment, as if there were no more reserves to be sent, and he couldn't help but roar viciously, and took an infantry of about three hundred men, and personally led them to begin a detour towards the right flank.

Xu Wei squinted his eyes at the horse and looked at the other side, the cold wind at this time was cold, he was blown by the cold wind and tears flowed in his eyes, and quickly wiped it with his cuffs, and then took a closer look, although the battlefield was still inseparable, but it was obvious that his side was no longer inferior, and the soldiers holding high the "Zheng" and "Wu" flags were still standing on the front line, and the riflemen on both wings were still firing dense bullets at the enemy, causing the chaotic army to retreat again and again.

At this moment, the smoke of gunpowder was blown away by the cold wind, Xu Wei saw a large group of chaotic troops running in the snow three hundred meters away, this group of people were dressed in a completely different way from the people who fought with the Zheng family army on the front line, these people were wearing armor, and the weapons in their hands reflected bursts of cold light in the snow, and at a glance they knew that these were elite elites. The direction of these people's movements was the same as the direction of the cavalry's detour just now, and they didn't need to think that they were definitely preparing to make a detour back to the left flank of the Zheng family's army.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Xu Wei shouted loudly, pointing to the left wing, and the small flags of the riflemen hurriedly looked into the distance, but because Xu Wei on horseback was lower where they were, and the snow on the ground was swept up by the wind, so that they could not see the situation in the distance clearly, and they looked at Xu Wei in amazement.

"The rebels are on the left flank, ready to shoot!" Xu Wei's shouting still didn't make the group of small flags figure out what was going on, and at this moment it was already uncontrollable, Xu Wei scolded angrily, drove his horse to the left side of the rifleman, pointed his horse whip at the left flank, and yelled at the soldiers, "In this direction!" Shoot! ”

Although the soldiers were full of suspicion, they knew that the person in front of them was the highest-ranking commander on the scene except for Zheng Zhihu, so they could only raise their guns and pull the trigger aimlessly in the direction that Xu Wei was pointing.

He Yilong didn't know that the gunners of the official army were shooting in this direction, he just lowered his head and rushed towards the flank of the official army, and at this moment, he suddenly felt the horse under his crotch sinking downward, and he flew out from the horse's head. Many of the soldiers who followed him suddenly turned around and lay straight down in the snow, and many more of them bounced their legs, feet, or arms and chests, rolling and wailing in the snow. This shot was much more effective than the previous shooting of the cavalry, and even when the target could not be seen clearly, the riflemen managed to kill more than a hundred or so rebels.

"General He is injured!" Several pro-soldiers rushed forward while shouting, and the soldiers with shields hurriedly rushed forward to cover the direction of the rifle shot, but soon another round of projectiles flew in, directly penetrating the shield and killing several shield players to the ground. The people next to him didn't dare to run around, and they lowered their bodies one by one and didn't dare to move. Since no one is running, there is no artificial snow on the ground, and the wind will no longer raise snow fog to obscure the view. Only then did the riflemen see the situation at the scene clearly, everyone gasped, this group of enemy soldiers was obviously clearly dressed and armored, and they were definitely elite, if Xu Wei did not indicate the direction of shooting just now to block the shooting, this group of enemy soldiers would definitely bring huge casualties to the infantry of the Zheng family's army.

"Retreat! Cover General He's quick retreat! Several soldiers around He Yilong hurriedly put He Yilong up and fled back, not caring about the situation around him at all, more soldiers saw this situation, and they didn't care about killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, they just jumped up and ran towards the rear. The rebel army and the official army have fought so far, and they have paid nearly 2,000 casualties, and at this time, even their own commanders have been carried back and fled, who knows if they are dead, seeing more people fleeing, who cares about fighting? No matter how good the meritorious deeds are, you must have a life to suffer, if you leave your life here, what if it is a bounty? Isn't it a lifeless flower? Thinking of this, this group of chaotic troops who were still barely fighting with the officers and soldiers all fled backwards, running slowly and panickingly, and even lost the weapons in their hands.

"Congratulations to the second master for his great work!" Xu Wei hurriedly drove his horse away, Zheng Zhihu was sitting among a pile of corpses, the cavalry knife in his hand had been broken because of the battle, and the battle robe on his body had already been soaked in blood, and at this moment it had turned into an uncomfortable dark red, his armor was damaged in many places, and his face was cut by something, and he was still bleeding drop by drop. Zheng Zhihu stood up and breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, we have won this battle, what should we do next?" ”

Xu Wei hurriedly nodded and said, "Second Master, just rest assured, this Taiping City matter will naturally be solved by Xu!" Please also ask the second master to rest first. Several soldiers next to him hurriedly came to help Zheng Zhihu's horse, and more soldiers began to clean up the battlefield.

After about an hour, they finally cleaned up the battlefield, and the Zheng army lost more than 300 infantry troops, more than 500 wounded, almost all of them were wounded, and more than 100 were seriously wounded. More than 30 people were killed in the rifle battalion, which was the main combat unit, and more than 90 were wounded. More than 1,000 of the rebels died from gunshot wounds, more than 100 cavalrymen, 30 horses were captured, more than 600 were killed in battles with infantry, and almost a mountain of corpses was piled up on the battlefield. After all the collection was completed, the soldiers of the Zheng family army pulled the severed heads and captured weapons in horses and carts, and drove towards the gate of Taiping County.

The city wall suddenly became a sensation, and these people thought at first that they were going to see an official army being defeated by a rebellious army several times their size, but they did not expect to see a wonderful battle, and the rebellious army suffered heavy casualties under the brave battle of the official army, and finally had to flee in defeat. At this moment, the officers and soldiers cleaned up the battlefield and drove towards Taiping County, making it clear that they were going to enter the city.

At the foot of the city, the city wall was full of people and defenders, and a martial flag fluttered in the city tower. Xu Wei saw that the city gate was still closed, so he shouted to the head of the city, "The Zheng family of Fujian has received the emperor's grace, and has come here to serve the imperial court, and has fought a bloody battle with the chaotic army. ”

"General, this Taiping City is not big, I'm afraid it can't accommodate many heavenly troops!" Someone on the wall replied, looking like he had no intention of opening the door. Xu Wei didn't get angry, he just arched his hand and said, "I don't know who is in the city?" ”

After the hatred of Fang Zhu, Mo Yue hated me early

"Under the Taiping County Order, the petty officials are not enough to worry about, and I ask the general to move elsewhere." The man didn't leave his hand and didn't even want to say his name. Xu Wei laughed out loud, looking at the people in the city tower inexplicably, and was about to ask, but heard Xu Wei say again, "We have just defeated several times the rebel army here and killed several generals of the rebel army, and I am now worried that the rebel army will come back one day to besiege Taiping City, so I want to enter Taiping City to assist in defense, since you don't want us to enter the city, then I will leave." As he spoke, he waved his hand at the soldiers behind him, "Let's go!" Let's go to Shanxi Daying to receive the reward! ”

The soldiers comprehended, sang happily one by one, and began to follow Xu Wei's horses to turn around and walk towards the south.
