The sound of gunfire and thunder suddenly fell silent, followed by earth-shattering shouts and the sound of horse hooves trampling the ground.
Hundreds of cavalrymen, each holding a spear, poured in like a tide from the breach in the wooden fence outside Xiangkou Town. The one who rushed to the front was Ma Weixing, one of the "Seven Confucian Scholars of Nanchang". He was one of the "Three Horses of the Southern Ming Dynasty" back then. He jumped back and forth six or seven times between the Shun, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Now he has finally found a place as a natural soldier. Feel it!
I saw him leaping on his horse, jumping over the four or five-foot parapet in one go, and like a heavenly soldier descending to earth, he rushed into a large group of chaotic Eight Banners new troops! When the cavalry rushes into battle, they hold the lance in their hands, and then gently clamp it with their arms, letting go as soon as it touches the enemy's body. But with huge momentum, Ma Weixing's lance immediately knocked a new Eight Banners warrior wearing heavy armor away from him, and the spear head of the lance still pierced the armor of the Eight Banners warrior. , stabbed into his chest!
The horse under Ma Weixing's crotch did not stop at all. It still spread its four hooves and galloped among the crowd, carrying Ma Weixing straight into the depths of the Qing army's chaos. None of these Qing troops were on horseback, and most of them still held weapons such as muskets and bows that could not withstand the impact of cavalry. How could they stop Ma Weixing and his battalion of five hundred cavalry from charging? Not to mention being pierced through the chest by a spear, even if it was touched by a galloping horse, he would still fall hard. Ma Weixing and his knights, while galloping on their horses, pulled off the "iron hammer" hanging on their bodies and threw it at the crowd - this was a cable-type grenade hammer!
If you look down from a high altitude, you can see a torrent of steel that can "thunder" pouring into the scattered military formation of the Qing army. Wherever they rushed, fireballs would rise up all around them, causing the soldiers to flip over and become unable to resist. They couldn't even form a foot formation.
The more than two thousand Eight Banners New Army soldiers who were left by Zhao Liangdong in Xiangkou Town, although they all bear the title of Eight Banners, now they have found the feeling of the "Ming Army beggar soldiers" meeting the Manchurian white-armored heavenly soldiers.
Some of them were elderly, old slaves from the Green Camp, who had fought against the Manchurian Heavenly Soldiers on the battlefield! This is really sad... When they were in the Ming army, they encountered the Manchurian heavenly soldiers and were beaten! Now that he has become a Manchu soldier, why did the heavenly soldiers become the Ming army again? The worst person on the battlefield is always themselves!
Behind this unstoppable torrent of steel is a masked knight in white clothes and a white horse surrounded by hundreds of cavalry. Behind this knight is a bright yellow flag!
Although no one can see the words embroidered on the flag clearly, the color speaks for itself!
There is no doubt that the man in white clothes and riding a white horse is Zhu San’s grandson!
"The third grandson of Zhu is here! The one wearing white clothes and riding a white horse is the third grandson of Zhu!"
"No, the third grandson of Zhu is calling! The one in white clothes and white horse is the third grandson of Zhu..."
I don’t know who took the lead in shouting, but after a while, the new officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners in Xiangkou Town all thought Da Bo Ling was Zhu Heji.
Ao Bai's nephew, Wo Hei, had already retreated to the dock of Xiangkou Town. Hundreds of trembling new officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners were holding up spears and shotguns, and relying on some iron shields, carts and rifles, barely supporting a line of defense. .
This is also the last line of defense of the Qing army in Xiangkou Town!
As for Zhao Hongcan, the sons of Wo Hei and Zhao Liangdong, and the commander of the Eight Banners New Army, they were standing on the edge of the pier at this time, looking at the roaring Yangtze River and the few boats moored on the pier. They were hesitating whether to jump into the river and die for their country? Or should we escape to the other side on a wooden boat?
On the other side... But Zhuo Butai is in charge!
If he were to hit me head-on, would he be grabbed and killed?
When the two of them were hesitating, they heard someone shouting, "The one wearing white clothes and riding a white horse is the grandson of Zhu San!"
When the two heard this, what filled their hearts was not despair, but a feeling of finally being saved!
That was the grandson of Zhu San who killed the "Emperor Kangxi" in the midst of thousands of troops on the battlefield of Sanjiangkou Town!
It's normal that the two of them can't beat Zhu San's grandson. And now there is Shi Lang's army in Guichi, there is a Gushan led by Mi Sihan in Anqing, there is a Gushan of Zhuobutai in Huayang Town on the other side of the Yangtze River, and there is Zhao Liangdong's army on the riverside road east of Xiangkou Town. Three thousand people, and there is an army of Wang Fuchen and Fei Yanggu in Jiande County southeast of Xiangkou Town... This is a pocket formation!
"The third grandson of Zhu, where is the third grandson of Zhu?"
"Hurry and point it out to me!"
Zhao Hongcan and Nihei took out their telescopes and asked Geshiha beside them to point out the location of Zhu San's grandson.
The two soon discovered the "Third Grandson in White" on the battlefield in Xiangkou Town. At this time, most of the area in Xiangkou Town had been occupied by the Ming army, leaving only the Pier, which was still occupied by the Qing army. under the control. And the "Third Grandson in White" also arrived at the only long street in Xiangkou Town, surrounded by people, and immediately watched the battle. At the end of the long street is Xiangkou Town Pier.
So at this time, the "Third Grandson in White" was not too far away from Zhao Hongcan and Ni Hei, and the sky was already bright, so he could see clearly with a telescope.
"What a strong man... Look at those chest muscles, they are so bulging, they are even better than my uncle Obai's!"
"Really, he's so strong! It's a pity that he's wearing a visor and can't see his face clearly..."
"It's unmistakable, that big flag is embroidered with the words 'Supervisor of the Ming Dynasty'... That third prince Zhu gave up the position of Supervisor of the Ming Dynasty to his son a while ago!"
"That's right... let's launch the rockets! After launching the thunder rockets, let's get on the boat!"
"Okay! Fire thunder rockets!"
Now that Zhu San's grandson is here, the two of them can naturally run away. Not only is this not a crime, but it also serves as a meritorious decoy for luring the enemy. Since you have meritorious service, you don't have to worry about being killed by Zhuo Butai who doesn't recognize your relatives.
...
"Rumble..."
A huge fireball suddenly exploded in the sky, and a thick black fog appeared at the same time. Because the explosion occurred at high altitude, it could be clearly seen dozens of miles away.
Zhuo Butai, who was watching the battle in Huayang Town on the north bank of the Yangtze River, of course also saw the fireball he had been looking forward to for a long time - this was the signal for Zhu San's grandson to appear on the battlefield!
"Xiangkou Town! Grandson Zhu San has appeared in Xiangkou Town!"
Zhuo Butai almost burst into tears when he said this...Xiangkou Town is a town that is carried in a pocket!
Zhu Heji now dives into his pocket... This is God bless the Qing Dynasty!
Although the original plan was to defend Xiangkou Town and keep Zhu Heji or the Ming Army out of the town. But there are rare times when wishful thinking is completely successful on the battlefield, and now it is still considered a success.
As long as Wang Fuchen and Shi Lang's troops can arrive in time, Zhao Liangdong can hold the riverside road again. With a land and water attack, Zhu Heji, the number one scourge of the Qing Dynasty, was killed in Xiangkou Town.
As long as Zhu Heji dies... the Qing Dynasty will be saved!
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Zhuo Butai shouted, "Hurry up and give the good news to the emperor at Qingliu Pass. Quickly report to Tu Zhongtang and Wang Zhongtang and ask them to send troops quickly!
Quickly ask the brothers of the Fourth Staff Leader to board the ship to reinforce Zhao Junmen... Tell Zhao Junmen that they must hold on no matter what! "
"嗻!"
The soldiers around Zhuo Butai responded with "嗻", and then ran as fast as they could to deliver the order.
In order to ensure that the news that Zhu Heji or the Ming army's brigade entered the "pocket formation" was conveyed, Zhuo Butai put great thought into this time, not only preparing signal rockets, but also beacon towers and flying cavalry horses.
Wang Fuchen and Fei Yanggu, who were ambushing in the Jiande Mountains, had already sent a large number of rangers around Xiangkou Town to report news back to Jiande County at any time. So when the signal rocket exploded over Xiangkou Town, Wang Fuchen and Fei Yanggu had already assembled their troops and were waiting to attack!
