"Loyal to the emperor!"

There was only one Qian Zong left in the encirclement, whose eyes were already blood-red, and this Qian Zong brandished his waist knife, roared in despair, and then slashed his throat with a blade with his backhand.

Looking at this Qian Zong, who was lying in a pool of blood and dying, and the guards who were panting, their eyes were vaguely complicated.

"Maniac ......"

Yang Tangcheng sneered, but said in his heart, if he had to kill himself, what should he shout?

The mood was quickly pulled out of this entanglement, and then he turned his head to look at his subordinates, and in this battle, more than 20 people had fallen, and his heart couldn't help but feel a chill.

In the other two parts of the defensive line, An Wei and Tian Tangjian were also soaking cool. An Wei was glad that even if he was bombarded by flowering bombs, there were still a lot of Qing soldiers rushing up, fortunately, his defense line was much straighter, and the reinforcements on the left and right came quickly, and before they entered the white-knuckle battle, the Qing soldiers in front of him were defeated. And Tian Tangjian was sweating, there were actually a lot of shotgunners and archers hidden in the Qing soldiers who rushed up, and there was a sudden attack more than ten steps away, and the guards in the front row who were holding bayonets were put down twenty or thirty people. But as soon as it stopped, the gunner of the flying cannon threw out several flowering shells in one go, blowing up the Qing soldiers to the ground.

On the mountainside, Li Shi wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said in his heart that this wave should be specially selected brave soldiers, if the Qing soldiers of this era were so brave, he would have died a long time ago in this great cause of rebellion.

Gao Qiwei did not give up, and although the third shock was repulsed, he finally bit the defensive line, which made him even more convinced that his tactics were correct. In the afternoon, another 10,000 troops were transferred and continued to take turns in battle.

However, he learned from the experience of the morning, and no longer organized the dense sea of people, and no longer only stared in three directions, three thousand people scattered in seven or eight roads, rushing towards each section of the defensive line.

The commander has changed his strategy, and the thousands of guerrilla garrisons under the command of the front line have also responded, they are no longer stupid and stupid, but a ** leap forward, and even drag small cannons to get closer to a hundred paces, to play against the guards. On the one hand, he tried to reduce his own losses, and on the other hand, he also wanted to kill and injure the guards behind the low wall as much as possible to reduce his resistance to attacking the defensive line.

The Qing soldiers learned from experience, and the guards of each section of the defense line were also adjusting their tactics, the snipers no longer hit the commander, but the gunners, and the flying cannons also echoed each other, covering the key areas.

The two waves of impact in the afternoon were repulsed again, but because they no longer attacked with a sea of people, the losses of the Qing soldiers were also much less, and the spirit of the high position eased up, and he felt that the capital was still enough, and he could continue to fight like this.

Seeing that the Qing soldiers were digging trenches two or three hundred steps away, and there were thousands of people making a detour towards the east of Furong Mountain, as if they wanted to cross Shaozhou City and cut off the communication between Furong Mountain and Beijiang in order to surround themselves, Li Xian nodded, and Gao Qiwei was finally willing to face the reality, knowing that it was not a matter of a day or two to eat himself. Trapping yourself here, waiting for the odd soldiers and even the officers and soldiers of Guangdong and Fujian to make a move, it can be regarded as a victory.

"It's time for us to do it."

Li Shi waved at Wu Ya.

In this battle, he placed seven wings of troops in Furong Mountain, and the small lonely mountain could not be fully extended. There were only four wings on the defensive line, and he had in his hands a reserve of more than 1,000 men on three wings. Although the terrain here does not allow for a large wide horizontal battle line, it is possible to make limited counterattacks by wing or even sentinel units, but there is no problem.

Another wave of Qing soldiers was in position half a mile away, ready to attack again, and they had already figured out the routine on Li Shi's side. Within 200 paces, there will be flowering shells exploding, and within 100 paces, there will be a platoon of guns bombarding, but as long as you rush for a while, and then lie down for a while, the casualties can be reduced a lot. In the first few attacks, there were already several sections of defense line that they rushed into, but there were not enough people to keep up, and there was no way to stand still.

According to this routine, the 3,000 Qing soldiers were divided into seven or eight routes, approaching within 100 steps, and were about to shout in unison, pressing forward with a rapid attack, when the bombardment of the flowering bombs suddenly increased, and the eyes were suddenly filled with smoke and dust.

Dada~Delade~Deladeda~Deladeda~Deladeda...... After the sound of the cannon subsided, the drums sounded, and the sound of neat footsteps gradually approached. Ten people in a row, four or five rows of horizontal formation, or four or five, or two or three unfolded, with the beat of the drum, in the gradually clear vision.

For a time, the emotions of the Qing soldiers split into two extremes, the officers were in ecstasy, and the enemy actually rushed out on their own, from behind that damn low wall! This is a great time to defeat them! But the soldiers were frightened, and rushed out to open up, but looking at this momentum, it seemed to be more impregnable than the low wall.

The Qing soldiers fell into confusion for a short time, not knowing whether to charge or retreat, while the guards had already approached within sixty or seventy paces. Without waiting for the Qing soldiers to continue to adjust, the low horn sounded, and the guards stood still, and the sound of the puffy row of guns filled the hearing.

In front of the seven or eight lines of defense, the guards who came out of the front, each facing only two or three times as many enemies as themselves, fired out four rounds of guns in succession, and the crowd of Qing soldiers was like mowing grass, and they were combed out of empty marks.

"Let's go!"

Stepping on the low wall, An Wei beckoned to his subordinates, always cowering behind the wall, his bones were aching, now it was time to stretch.

The counterattack force composed of three wings and half of the defenders of the front line pressed out 1,500 people, and the Qing troops within 100 paces in front of them suddenly collapsed.

This wave of Qing soldiers was only 3,000 people, but it was not Li Shi's target. The attacking guards continued to advance steadily, and the Qing soldiers of the brigade two miles away were scratched, and they gave the order to charge in an excited position, wanting to eat Li Xian's attacking force, but they were blocked by the rout troops coming down from the front.

While he was pushing, Li Shi's cannon on the mountainside rang out again. The Qing soldiers finally unified their pace, surging forward, but they were as close as two or three hundred paces, and the flying cannons that followed the attack also spoke tom, taking the longest range, and most of the flowering shells exploded at a height of one or two zhang, weaving an incomparably gorgeous scarlet picture.

"Retreat quickly! It's dangerous here! ”

Seeing that the enemy army was approaching, his high-ranking guards hurriedly persuaded him to retreat.

"Nope! The Governor will not retreat! It's a good ...... to fight to the death to destroy the enemy."

Gao Qiwei was in high spirits, and the head of the soldier carrying the military gate flag not far away suddenly exploded, and he didn't snort, and fell down with the big flag, so frightened that the guards fell to the ground with Gao Qiwei, and then Gao Qiwei thought that the other party had a sharpshooter who wore Yang in a hundred steps, and he was in the formation again, and he really had to follow in the footsteps of Wang Wenxiong.

Although he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, Gao Qiqi still retreated. The flag fell, the people also ran away, the previous many attacks were in vain, the morale was already extremely low, the others no longer had the will to fight, and the army of 10,000 people suddenly scattered like birds and beasts.

On the tower of the gate of Shaozhou, the rout of the army of 10,000 people in Gao Qi's position, everyone can see it, and in the farther direction, there is a Qing army of about 1,000 people, who are also fleeing north in a hurry, which is a strange soldier who is trying to detour through Shaozhou City. It's a pity that the regular soldiers are defeated, and if they don't flee early, the strange soldiers will become lonely.

"Defeated ......"

Although Wang Hua, a staff officer of the Guangzhou Military Standard Middle Battalion, was unwilling, he had to sigh with emotion.

"First show weakness to people, break its elite, and then come back, break its backbone, who said that Li Xian does not know soldiers?"

Qu Wansheng snorted coldly, he was sure early in the morning that he would be defeated if he was in a high position, and others always didn't believe it.

"If you still have a little mental strength in your position, take advantage of the fact that this force is too far in front of you, and when you reach the open area by the river, you can attack with a horse team, maybe there is a ...... to win."

Wang Hua was working as a dog-headed military advisor again, but before he finished speaking, he heard a horn from Youyou, and Li Shi withdrew his troops.

"That Li Xian...... Sure enough, the soldiers ......"

After staying for a while, Wang Hua also had to sigh.

If you talk about battlefield experience, Li Xian is far from the level of a famous general, and the battlefield feels like an old fritter like Gao Qi's position. But when it comes to knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, he is far superior to him.

Knowing that the open area by the river was suitable for the Qing cavalry to move, Li Xiancai limited the scope of his counterattack, and after defeating the Qing army's brigade, he did not take advantage of the victory to attack, and his position was more than 10,000 soldiers.

The battle situation in Furong Mountain stabilized, Li Shi's attention turned to Huanggang Mountain, the sound of guns and cannons in the north was much sparse, it was the Jiangxi soldiers lazily "feint", if Gao Qi's position changed his mind and wanted to storm Huanggang Mountain, I don't know if Zhang Hanjin there can withstand it.

"Just this little soldier, it's really not enough to fight."

Huanggang Mountain, looking at the blood and water churning on the surface of the Wushui River, even the steady Zhang Hanjin felt a little dissatisfied.

His position here is a fort, two 20-pound guns, 10 12-pound guns can not only control Wushui Zhenshui, press the Qing troops to the west bank of Wushui, but also contain a part of the troops, as the northern barrier of Li Shi's "Shaozhou Pit", undertaking the important task of closing the door and fighting dogs.

For this reason, he got six wings of troops, and deployed the small Huanggang Mountain, and the density of troops even exceeded that of Furong Mountain. The front of the fort is a steep cliff, which can be defended by a few men, and there are hills on the left and right sides and behind it, six wings, including artillery, there are enough two thousand, and it seems that there are very ample to defend this small area.

Furong Mountain is only seven or eight miles away from Huanggang Mountain, here with a telescope to observe, you can see the battle situation under Furong Mountain, you can see that the battle is in full swing there, and here only the Jiangxi soldiers occasionally come to disturb it, one or two hundred steps away to shoot and set off artillery, so that Gao Qiwei can hear their movements, that's all.

Seeing the counterattack of Furong Mountain before, the Gaoqi brigade was defeated, Zhang Hanjin could no longer suppress the fighting spirit of his subordinates, agreed to send three wings to counterattack, drove the Jiangxi soldiers to the Wushui side, and took the boat and people as a target together, and almost half of the men and horses who should have been the standard of Jiangxi fled back.

The herald who came from Furong Mountain said that on this day, the Qing soldiers lost at least two or three thousand people at the foot of Furong Mountain, and also captured thousands of prisoners, calculating that he only had less than a thousand people in the account, Zhang Hanjin was very helpless.

But then the order brought by the herald made Zhang Hanjin excited, and Li Shi asked him to be ready for battle, and Gao Qiqi might have to attack Huanggang Mountain. The battle enters the second phase of the plan, and as long as he carries through this stage, he will be the protagonist of the third phase.

"Is it our turn?"

Pan Shiyu's Lian Yaoyi was guarding the east side of Huanggang Mountain, and when he heard the news, he barely cheered up, although the terrain here was low, but the Qing soldiers from this direction could have the smallest surname.

"It's not our turn to ......"

To the north of Huanggang Mountain, Liang Qing scratched his nose in boredom, and Cai Fei also sighed. The terrain of this hill they are guarding is the most dangerous, and the direction further north is the continuous mountains, and the Qing soldiers will never attack from here, let them stay here, just in case, even the wing commander Meng Songjiang stays in the west, which is the expected main battlefield.

"Watch the vigil! Don't let up! ”

Meng Songjiang didn't completely let go, and after coming over to inspect the circle, he reminded Cai Fei and the others.

"After changing Panshiyu's gang of Yaomin, it is estimated that there may still be ......"

When Meng Songjiang left, Liang Qing looked at the mountain wall in the north and shook his head again and again.

"If you want to say that the Qing soldiers can not only climb mountains, but also attack at night, I don't believe it."

He asserted.
