Although more than half of his men were dead, Chen Wencai was still overjoyed to see the new army dare to charge forward and fight hand to hand.
Fighting with the new army these days is really frustrating.
Often without seeing anyone, they were defeated by the fierce firepower of the new army from a distance.
Chen Wencai was full of frustration and really wanted to speak to the New Army.
[There is a kind of one-on-one challenge! 】
Now, the New Army has given him this opportunity.
The two groups of men and horses quickly collided.
The same creatures with the same skin color and the same language will fight each other more ferociously.
Chen Wencai waved his flail, just wanting to smash the heavenly spirit of every enemy he saw.
In his opinion, the thin, thin bayonets of the New Army were just like chopsticks. In front of his own heavy flail, he couldn't withstand even one move.
Seeing a soldier coming towards him with a spear, Chen Wencai gave a loud shout and threw the flail at him.
He was already imagining in his mind that the young-looking guy in front of him was beaten into a pulp by him with a knife and others.
But seeing the heavy weapon in his hand, the soldier didn't panic and could think of a way to deal with it.
The spear that was supposed to be thrust straight to the side was swung to the side and hit the middle part of the flail.
This timing and cleverness are obviously the result of hard work.
Chen Wencai's eyes were astonished. The flail was taken to one side, and most of its power was removed.
Although the flail still hit the soldier, causing him to dislocate his shoulder, he survived.
Chen Wencai was grinning ferociously.
So what if I escaped this time?
Aren't you going to die in your own hands again?
But just when he waved the flail again and was about to take action again, two bayonets stabbed silently and swiftly from both sides of the injured soldier.
The incident happened suddenly, Chen Wencai reacted hastily and just used his flail to open a bayonet.
The other bayonet still penetrated through the cracks in his hard-forged mountain armor.
Chen Wencai didn't feel any pain at first.
Being stabbed made him very angry, and he wanted to kill the person who stabbed him with a flail.
But just as the soldier pulled out his bayonet and stepped back, the cold wind poured into his body like a tide from the wound, making him shiver. Immediately, all the strength in his body seemed to be sucked away by something, making him dwarf and kneel directly on the ground.
He was not dead for a moment when he saw three New Army soldiers in front of him raising their spears to stab him at the same time.
The combined force of the three bayonets caused his heavy body to fall backwards, and then he was nailed to the ground.
Kong Youde on the mountain did not know that Chen Wencai had died in the battle.
Seeing that his side was mixed up with the new army, he immediately gave the order.
"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow quickly!"
As for his own people on the battlefield below, he couldn't care less.
Even if it costs his own life, he won't even blink.
The rocket exploded again, roaring into the battlefield below the mountain.
Many people, whether they were the New Army or the Dongjiang rebels, had no time to dodge and died on the spot under random arrows.
Seeing that a new soldier was finally killed, Kong Youde laughed wildly.
"Keep shooting!"
But there are no second chances.
The rebel army's hundreds of tigers running together have not finished loading their arrows. The top of the mountain has been destroyed by rocks and fireworks, and there is no pure land.
It turned out that the heavy artillery of the New Army was in place, and they immediately launched a wild bombardment on the three hills occupied by the rebels.
The heavy artillery is on other mountains five or six miles away. After losing the red cannon, the Dongjiang rebels have no counterattack ability at all.
In addition, the small hill area is narrow, so many people are huddled together, and every time a shell explodes, a large number of people will be killed or injured.
The most important thing is that all the last heavy weapons of the Dongjiang rebels were destroyed, and even the gunpowder was ignited, triggering a second big explosion.
Kong Youde was also overturned by the huge waves of the explosion. When he got up again, his ears were buzzing and his eyes were bloodshot. The world in front of him was ups and downs, and he couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south.
Hearing the whistling sound coming from far away, his soldiers immediately picked him up and ran down the mountain from behind, snatching the road away.
On the front, after a hand-to-hand battle, the new army won a complete victory and began to assault on the mountain.
There are still some rebels who resist, but they are no longer strong.
If they are far away, the new army will use flash caps to grab and shoot; if they are close, the new army will throw grenades.
It is useless for the rebels to hide in the fortifications. Instead, they will be blocked inside and completely unable to fight back.
But when they came out to the open area, the cold weapons in their hands were beyond the reach of the new army's muskets.
Even if you have a bow and arrow in your hand, the range cannot be compared with that of a musket.
Unable to fight or run, many people's morale collapsed and they simply knelt down and surrendered.
When they saw that the new army did not massacre the surrendered soldiers at will, more and more people followed suit, and the progress of the battle suddenly accelerated.
More than an hour later, the new army completely captured Xifeng Mountain, Nainai Mountain and Guangshan.
The most important stronghold of the Dongjiang rebels was lost, and the entire battlefield was divided.
Mao Yuanyi climbed to the top of Xifeng Mountain and could already see the troops of the Third Division on the Southern Front.
In front of the Third Division, a large group of Jiang's troops were retreating eastward.
"Commander, do you want to help?"
Mao Yuanyi laughed.
"Are you going now to help or to take credit? That guy Lou Fu is going to be furious."
He said to Ning Weiping: "Our division will search north. Don't let a traitor go. Don't give them a chance to escape either."
According to the battle plan, the second division's area of responsibility is to the west.
Mao Yuanyi did not intend to rush into the core area of the battlefield. After defeating Kong Youde's headquarters, the subsequent operations would be handed over to other brother units so that others could enjoy the soup.
He mobilized the second division to search northward along the canal and toward the shore of Weishan Lake.
Chen Yongfu didn't know where he was.
After he was defeated in Binhu Town, he fled south. Originally, they wanted to catch up with the large army and join up with Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming.
As a result, when they arrived at Hanzhuang Town, they saw the First Division crossing the river.
Chen Yongfu, who was hiding in the grass, was frightened by the countless new troops.
He no longer dared to look for the main force, but ran away aimlessly alone.
But the pursuers never let him go and kept chasing him.
Chen Yongfu was alone, without food or drink. He ran away for days and was exhausted and embarrassed.
That night, he touched a land temple. I was so tired that I just fell asleep.
Just as he was dreaming about attacking the capital, he pulled Chongzhen off the dragon chair and was about to sit on it when he suddenly heard a strange sound in his ears.
Chen Yongfu quickly opened his eyes and saw an old beggar standing at the door of the Tutu Temple.
The old beggar was holding a broken bowl with half a steamed bun in it.
At this time, Chen Yongfu's eyes were full of doubts, and he obviously didn't understand who this person was who broke into his home.
In the past, Chen Yongfu would not even look at such an old beggar, and would even kill him because he had dirty hands.
But at this moment, when he saw the steamed buns in the old beggar's bowl, he swallowed his saliva in dismay.
The acid water in his stomach surged back up, increasing his hunger and making his eyes glow green.
The old beggar instinctively sensed the danger and turned around to leave.
Chen Yongfu pounced on the old beggar like a hungry tiger and grabbed the old beggar's ankle from behind.
The old beggar was frightened, screamed, and kicked him with his other foot.
But he was an old and frail beggar, how could he struggle to move.
Chen Yongfu's hand was bruised and bruised from the kick, and he felt murderous intent. He touched a stone from the side, raised his hand and hit the old beggar on the leg.
Amidst the harsh sound, the old beggar let out a miserable scream and could no longer push Chen Yongfu.
Chen Yongfu refused to let him go. He climbed forward and raised another stone.
This time it hit the old beggar on the thigh.
The old beggar suddenly straightened his upper body like a boiled shrimp, and then his head hit the ground hard.
"Reincarnation Paradise"
Chen Yongfu climbed up twice again. With a sinister expression on his face, he aimed the stone at the back of the old beggar's head.
But all the actions were frozen at this moment.
A cold bayonet penetrated from his back and pierced his heart.
The grin turned into astonishment and then into sluggishness.
The stone fell and hit Chen Yongfu's own feet.
Unfortunately, he couldn't feel the pain.
Behind him, a sweaty New Army soldier finally showed a thankful smile.
He raised his foot, kicked Chen Yongfu down, and ran over to help the old beggar.
"Old man, you are saved!"
