The sound of the trumpet in the northwest caused a commotion between the Qing army and the Taiping army, and the Qing army erupted in cheers when it was discovered that it was the Eight Banners who blew the trumpet.

"It's the Han Army Flag, the Han Army Flag is coming! He. Grandma's, the gang of uncles from Han Junqi are finally here! ”

"The Han Army Banner is here, and it must be Taipingkou to look good! Mother. of, dogs. The Taiping Kou of the day almost chased Lao Tzu just now, now look at how they run! ”

A group of green battalion soldiers who were still crying wolves and howling for their lives just now danced with their hands, cursing Taiping Kou while hoping that the Han army banner could avenge them.

Although the supervising pacesetters were also excited, they were not as chaotic as the battalion soldiers, and Wu Tai and others, who led the team, pressed their hearts and prepared to lead their troops to cooperate with the attack of the Han army banner.

Hearing the sound of the Han army flag, Hu Qili was also very sure in his heart, the cavalry of the Taiping army under the slope was suppressed by his own personal army and Zheng Guodong's horse team, and there was no need for the artillery team to call the cavalry of the Taiping army, there was no worries, and he looked forward to Tong Erhan's Han army flag soldiers, and he was confident that the situation would be reversed again. But he never thought that something that surprised him even more appeared - as the Han army with blue and red flags rushed towards the Taiping army, hundreds of Manchurian soldiers with pure white flags appeared in his sight.

"It's a Manchurian soldier! My God, it's a Manchurian soldier, a Manchurian soldier with a white flag! ”

A group of artillery officers who were still commanding their men to move artillery were so shocked that they said unfavorably, that is the legendary invincible in the world, with a hundred Manchurian soldiers!

Hu Qili was also ecstatic after being shocked: the real Manchurian soldiers came, and the governor did not visit him. General Hahamu really sent Manchurian soldiers to help him exterminate the Taiping Kou!

"Hurry up and pull the cannon over, quick!"

Hu Qili, who was excited, hurriedly ordered the artillery team to pull the cannon over, and he himself rode straight to the pacesetter's array. There were Manchurian soldiers pressing the formation. There is no reason to lose this battle, and he Hu Qili wants to learn from Tong Erhan to show himself!

The pacesetter brigade and the more than 1,000 green battalion soldiers who had gathered together also clearly saw the appearance of the Manchurian White Flag soldiers, and in an instant, the Qing army was as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Brothers, Manchurian soldiers, Manchurian soldiers are coming!"

"Don't be afraid, there are Manchurian soldiers. We can't lose this battle! ”

Almost all the Qing troops had the same thought in their minds: the Manchurian soldiers are coming, and the Taiping Kou will be unlucky this time!

"Military commander, in front of you is the Han army with a blue flag. What didn't move behind was the Manchurian soldiers with white flags! Look at the posture, the Manchurian soldiers let the Han army take the lead, and the Han army won it, and they came to insert us again, and the Manchurian soldiers were very brave, I had heard people say before. One green battalion soldier can be our ten Ming troops. A Han army can be ten battalions, but ten Han troops can't reach one Manchurian soldier, this Manchurian soldier is too capable of fighting, is it the second battalion of the concession army withdrawn? ”

The Taiping army had no experience in fighting with the Manchurian soldiers, and only heard that the Manchurian soldiers were powerful, and although Shao Jiugong had worked in the Green Battalion, he had also never seen the Manchurian soldiers fight, out of holstery considerations. He suggested to Zhou Shixiang that the left and right battalions of the infantry army should be withdrawn, so as not to be eaten by the Manchurian soldiers.

Zhou Shixiang shook his head: "It's too late." Withdraw now, and the second battalion of the infantry army will be finished. After a pause, he said disdainfully: "There is nothing to fear from the Manchurian soldiers, their prince Nikan did not die at the hands of the King of Jin!" ”

Hearing this, Shao Jiugong was stunned and couldn't refute it.

Xu Yingyuan, the magistrate of Zengcheng County, who had just surrendered a few days ago, said secretly with a bitter face: Are you thief Xiu Li Dingguo's tiger?

Thinking that he had just surrendered to the Taiping Army, and had not returned to Xiangshan Laowo with them, this thief Xiucai was about to lose to the Manchurian soldiers here, and if he was defeated, he was afraid that his life would be over.

The Qing Dynasty gave preferential treatment to the Southern Ming Dynasty, but the problem was that he was a Ming Dynasty and not a Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty hated the Han officials who surrendered repeatedly.

God bless the Taiping Army to block the Qing soldiers, God bless!

Xu Yingyuan silently prayed for his life, he had left his future behind, and it was the most important thing to save his life.

Shao Jiugong saw that Zhou Shixiang did not agree to withdraw his troops, so he said: "Marshal, do you want me to lead my own military battalion across the river to support Ge Yingguan and them?" ”

"Wait, Tie Yi's 2nd Brigade has also been training for some days, and with 1,200 guns, I don't believe that the Han Army Flag can be broken!"

Zhou Shixiang was very calm, his confidence was the newly trained 2 brigades of the right battalion of the infantry army, as well as the pole guns and tiger squat guns sent by the artillery battalion, not to mention that Tie Yi also created a new batch of earth-shaking thunder, it can be said that the best equipment of the Taiping Army is all in the hands of Jiao Yi, if this is still defeated by the Qing army, then Tie Yi and Ge Yi who are in command of the front line are too incompetent.

Shao Jiugong had no choice but to say: "If the cavalry camp doesn't come to the rescue, I'm afraid that the whole army will be wiped out." ”

This time, Zhou Shixiang did not refuse Shao Jiugong's invitation to fight, he nodded and said: "You take 400 people to meet the cavalry camp, just bring Shao Chengguo back to me, don't waste the war." The target of the Qing Demon is our infantry brigade, and the cavalry camp will not hinder the overall situation, and they will not send many troops over. ”

"Yes, don't worry, the commander, I will definitely bring Officer Shao back."

After Shao Jiugong received the order, he hurriedly transferred troops to cross the river with him. Zhou Shixiang also ordered Qi Hao to clean up all the cannon chambers left on this side of the river, in case the second battalion of the front-line infantry army could not support the retreat, the artillery battalion would open artillery in time to bombard the Qing army.

Qi Hao was worried: "What if our people are wrapped up in the Qing Demon?" ”

Zhou Shixiang groaned slightly, and ordered: "Fire the cannon as it is." ”

Qi Hao was stunned for a moment, and then immediately responded: "The last general understands." ”

"Wave the flag and let the green battalion press on the front!"

Tong Erhan on the horse was in high spirits, eager to show himself in front of the Manchurian soldiers, and his subordinates were all cavalry, which was just right for the charge.

"We rushed to the left flank of the Taiping Kou, handed it over to the Green Battalion head-on, and after rushing in, we didn't stop, we kept ramming forward, and cut off the Taiping Kou! Cut off all the heads of the southern barbarians as melons! ”

More than 400 Han army banner soldiers responded violently, and rushed straight towards the Taiping army behind Zuo Ling.

Seeing the banner of the Han army, Hu Qili, who had just arrived at the pacesetter brigade, immediately understood Tong Erhan's intentions, and hurriedly ordered the supervising brigade to press forward immediately, and at the same time sent someone to ask Lin Jinzhong to lead the gathered rout to act with the pacesetter brigade.

"My lord, supervise those dogs. The mother wants us to attack the front of Taiping Kou, do we go up or not? ”

"Of course, there are Manchurian soldiers pressing, and I'm afraid that this battle will be lost!"

Lin Jinzhong was anxious to present himself in front of the Manchurians, and drove his subordinates to lead the rout to charge towards the Taiping army.

"Kill, kill!"

was about to rush in front of the Taiping army array, the Han army banner soldiers shouted, raised their sabers diagonally and slammed forward fearlessly.

The ranks of the Taiping army were surprisingly quiet, and the more silent they were, the more suffocating they became. (To be continued.) )
