Chapter 1219: The Passing River (4)



The air was full of scorching buckshots, and after rushing into the water, the horses were stopped by the corpses that had filled the entire river, and their speed suddenly slowed down, and then they were knocked down one by one. [To see the latest chapters of this book, please go to the hot spots]

The wounded horses were neighing and struggling, the horses' hooves were splashing red waves, and the dying soldiers were screaming and cursing loudly

There were people everywhere, and the infantry under the horses held their shields alof, trying to block the fire of muskets. But it turned out that there was no problem with the muskets of the Ningxiang army shooting through the shields in the hands of the Qing army, and perhaps, the infantry was just seeking some psychological comfort.

Although the muskets of this year did not have any accuracy, the enemy's musket array was so dense. Moreover, the river is narrow, and the two armies are too close to each other, as long as they raise their hands and shoot, they can easily hit the target.

When the rainstorm came, the muskets of the Ningxiang army were dumb. But as soon as the rain stopped, it began to bang again. The rolls of paper in which their ammunition was wrapped were in waterproof cowhide fanny packs, a luxury in the era. But in such a critical battlefield, it played a huge role, otherwise, the musketeers would really have to withdraw from today's battle.

In contrast, the bowstrings of the Qing army were loose due to sticky water, and the tail feathers of the feathered arrows were also unglued and unusable. Therefore, after losing the long-range attack capability, the Jianzhou army could only measure the width of this small river step by step by carrying weapons and relying on human lives.

The riverbank of the Ningxiang Army on the opposite side had been completely shrouded in billowing white smoke from the musket fire, and only the rows of black figures could be seen in shadows, and rows of sparks that suddenly burst out one after another. Read the full text of the latest chapter

With just one face, Xia Chengde's dozens of horsemen were all lost here forever.

He Man's war horse was hit on the head by a solid cannonball from an unknown source, and the huge horse's head instantly exploded into a pile of minced meat, and he thought that he would be torn to pieces by the iron bullet that came from the situation. I don't know if God blesses it, but at this moment, the cannonball bounced violently, went over his head, and fell behind.

And He Man also followed the fallen war horse corpse into the river, and poured two mouthfuls of water, so fishy. So the stink.

The body is already cold, and it feels like returning to Changbai Mountain in winter.

Qiang took a breath, dragged the cotton armor that became as heavy as a grinding disc after the water was dragged, and stood up, and saw Xia Chengde standing in the knee-deep red water with a blank face, his lips trembling: "Can't rush over, can't rush over......" His war horse died under a volley of guns just now, but under such a dense salvo

。 But the man was not hurt in the slightest, but the helmet did not know where it had been lost. The hair also fell apart, dripping with water.

He Man moved to his side with difficulty, and the river was full of corpses wriggling along the current, and the blood was torn into wisps before it could solidify. In this wave of attacks just now, Duoduo invested 500 people at once, and Xia Chengde's cavalry opened the way in front, but the final result was that they were all killed here before they could touch the hair of others.

He grabbed Xia Chengde. shook vigorously: "Xia Chengde, wake up, wake up, the line between life and death, you can only move forward at this time, and to stop here is to wait for death." ”

Beside him, there are lead bullets flying sideways. You don't know which projectile you'll be killed in the next moment, and you can't care so much.

A cannonball fell into the water and exploded in the dense mass of corpses, filling the sky with human limbs and internal organs. The air was filled with the smell of blood, dirt, and feces and urine.

Xia Chengde was still dreaming: "I can't rush over, I can't rush over, let's retreat." Take a break. ”

"Go back...... He Man laughed sadly: "Can you still go back, you look back, is it possible?" ”

The entire Qing army was already crazy, and after the first wave of 500 people was almost wiped out, Duoduo sent another 500 people without stopping, and it was still the cavalry that opened the way.

These cavalrymen were all Duoduo's personal guards, and they were also Homan's elder brothers. But under this frantic charge. If He Man and Xia Chengde dared to block the way, they would also be stepped into the water mercilessly.

Hearing the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, Xia Chengde screamed like a frightened rabbit, and ran forward frantically, and He Man was also running.

Another rain of bullets came, and the cavalry was shot down in a large area because of the large target, and the whole river was also thrown into chaos by the crazy wounded war horses.

Overhead, there were scorching projectiles flying, and the muskets of the Ningxiang Army were shooting so fast that there was almost no gap. He Man was already running dizzy, and he couldn't help shouting in his heart: Why is it so fast, why is it so fast, doesn't the Han dog need to be filled with medicine?

When the day dawned, a bright white light shone down, and the sun came out of the clouds, but there was only black and white around it. The black is blood and the corpses of men and horses, and the white is the smoke and running water from the muzzles of the enemy's guns.

His feet suddenly hardened, and he actually touched the ground

It turned out that He Man had unknowingly rushed to the other side.

"Rush out, rush out!" He Man shouted excitedly, encouraging his teammates behind him.

Because of He Man's encouragement, the infantry behind also jumped ashore from the water. However, because of the large number of people and the fact that the soil on the shore was too wet, many people slipped and fell to the ground, and were directly stepped into the water by the people behind them, and could no longer stand up.

When the Qing army was leaning against the river bank, the speed slowed down, hundreds of people crowded together, you pushed me and surging, and it became a mess.

He Man was in a hurry: "Rush up, don't stop!" ”

At this time, a Ningxiang musketeer suddenly poked his head out of the thick smoke, as if he was checking the enemy's situation. In order to see clearly, the iron mask was lifted, revealing a young, white face.

He Man did not hesitate, and slashed at his head.

This enemy should have a low-ranking officer in his armor, and he held a musket in his hand, and a long dagger on the muzzle, according to the Ningxiang army, was a bayonet.

Seeing He Man slashing at him, the musket in the hand of the officer of the Naning Township Army swung with a "bang", and the big knife was swept away diagonally.

He Man only felt that his right hand was numb, he almost lost consciousness, and the big knife in his hand was almost picked off.

"Drink!" His tongue burst with thunder, and his broadsword drew a circle in the air, slashing at the enemy's face.

This knife is exactly the formula in Qi Jiguang's knife method, although the Han dog is cowardly, Qi Jiguang is still very good at fighting. The set of knife techniques he invented was very clever and spread widely among the Han military banners. When He Man entered the barracks, he was quite disdainful of the martial arts of the Han people, and later after suffering several losses during the fight, he saw the power of the Qi family's knife, and pondered it patiently.

He is very hungry these days, and less than fifty percent of the strength on his body remains. If you want to defeat the enemy, you can only use skill.

The officer of the Ningxiang Army did not expect that He Man's knife would be able to use such an ingenious method after being picked open by himself with a bayonet method, this knife was swung by surprise, and it was immediately scratched on the front door, and his two eyes were also blinded, and black liquid flowed out of the blood.
