Hu Qili's direct lineage model was the elite green camp formed by Guangdong Governor Li Shutai. His personal soldiers were carefully selected from Guangdong Green Camp. These people usually eat silenced rice and were fed by Hu Qili with silver. Now the coach asked them to come. 160 of them were carrying guns on their backs and the swords in their hands did not frown and put their arms around Li.

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a moment! Brothers eat well and drink well on weekdays, and the women can be happy. Today, the general is using us. Who can't shrink their eggs? I will go with me!"

His personal soldiers were wearing leather armor, but Blind Li rushed down the hillside with his shirtlessness. He didn't know how to ride a horse, and he didn't use a sword in his hand. Instead, he used a big hammer weighing dozens of pounds like the tiger cynic in the Three Kingdoms. The hammer was covered with sharp, sharp iron stings. One hammer could kill the tiger!

With Blind Li as an example, the personal soldiers were also screaming, and their morale was not affected at all by the retreating Qing army.

Hu Qili was also very pleased to see his personal soldiers so bravely, but seeing that his own troops on Lutou River had retreated on all sides, the governor and the governor were also wrapped in a retreating camp, but his heart could not be relaxed. He secretly complained that if the Han Army Banner had not come, how could he have been the plan of the thief scholar?

What Hu Qili can do now is to send people to gather the defeated troops, strictly order the model soldiers to stabilize their position, and prevent the Xinhui great defeat from happening again. At the same time, he sent two groups of envoys to Tong Erhan, the Han army flag behind, asking them to rush to Lutou River immediately.

...........

Although Li Jianzi looked like a muddy man, he was actually very smart. After taking his subordinates downhill, he did not rush to stop the Taiping cavalry like this, but instead ordered his soldiers to take off the muskets on their backs and lit the fire to wait for the Taiping cavalry to come. He knew that the cavalry was born to restrain the infantry, so he led people down rashly, let alone blocking these Taiping gangs, I am afraid that they would not even drag them for a while. The only way was to use the terrain of the hillside to delay the Taiping gangs, so that they could not rush up the hillside. As long as the Taiping gangs' horses descended quickly, they would become live targets on the horse and let them hunt them.

After discovering that Li Xiaozi was leading people to block the slope in front, Zheng Guodong would come over and hurriedly lead the cavalry around the side, exposing the Taiping cavalry chasing behind him to Li Xiaozi's personal soldiers.

The Taiping cavalry did not notice the movement ahead in time. When they found that there were Qing soldiers holding muskets in front, they had no time to change direction and could only bite the bullet and continue to rush forward.

"Speed ​​the gun!"

In the smoke of gunpowder, more than forty Taiping soldiers rushing in front fell from the horse. But more Taiping soldiers rushed closer, but the horse speed was significantly slower. With the influence of the corpse of the fallen companion, only dozens of people could rush directly over.

The sources of weapons from the Taiping Army's cavalry camp were very complicated, and they were not as sabers as the Qing army's cavalry. They had long swords, spears, and long-handled axes. Seeing dozens of Taiping cavalry rushed up, Li Jianzi didn't wait for his subordinates to reload them. With a loud roar, he picked up a big hammer and rushed forward.

"The Taiping Bo can't run away, brothers, please search the guys for me!"

Hearing the shouts of blind Li, the personal soldiers threw the muskets in their hands towards the Taiping Army. Then they picked up long swords from the ground and used the terrain of the hillside to kill the Taiping Army.

The Qing army and horses who were walking around to the left saw the Taiping Army being dragged by their personal soldiers. Zheng Guodong also saw the fighter planes. After hesitation, he pulled his horse's head and turned around and rushed down the slope.

In front of the Qing army, the Qing army intercepted desperately, and the flank was hit by the Qing cavalry team that was killed and re-sucked. For a moment, the Taiping cavalry, which could only be called a horse infantry rather than a real cavalry, was caught in a heavy siege.

The battalion official Shao Guocheng's eyes were almost bleeding. Since the establishment of the cavalry camp, he has never suffered such a big loss. He was originally chasing the Qing demon, but now he is surrounded by the Qing demon and cannot rush to the death at all!

He no longer cared about his own blame and could only lead his troops to retreat to the slope. Under the attack of the Qing army and personal soldiers, more than 100 casualties of the cavalry camp retreated to the slope, but the surroundings were surrounded by the Qing army and could not retreat any longer.

The cavalry camp was like bloody people, and the fierce battle was far beyond any war they had experienced before. Looking at the corpses who had just been alive and energetic as they chased the Qing demons, the next one became cold and lying on the slope, Shao Chengguo's heart was as if he was stabbed by a needle.

"Kill, kill me!"

"The infantry brothers have already defeated the Qing Yao. The Qing Yao here will run away sooner or later. Brothers, don't be afraid, hold on, hold on!"

Shao Chengguo kept cheering his subordinates loudly, but more and more subordinates fell down, and the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller. Only half of the Taiping Army was still alive.

The battlefield situation showed two completely different situations. The thousands of Qing troops on the front were beaten by the right battalion of the infantry and the left battalion of the infantry that crossed the river and the remnants of the left battalion of the infantry, but the cavalry of the Taiping Army was surrounded by the Qing army.

The sound of cannons was still rumbling, but it was getting less and less. After the Qing army completely retreated from the preset artillery circle, Zhou Shixiang ordered the artillery battalion to stop the artillery bombardment and ordered Qi Hao to mobilize all tiger squat cannons and pole guns to cross the river.

The tiger squat cannon is extremely light in weight, and three soldiers can carry it across the river, and the pole gun is even lighter. Two soldiers can successfully wade through the water by holding it one in front and one behind.

None of these two cannons had been fired in previous cannon strikes, because their range was very short, and the tiger squat cannons could reach four or five hundred meters, but the pole cannons could only hit more than one hundred meters. This distance was obviously impossible to hit the gun on the Qing army.

Now the Taiping Army has stabilized its defense line and successfully repelled the Qing army. The retreating Qing army cannot organize effective attacks again for a short time, and even reorganize the team. If the Taiping Army wants to expand the results of the battle, it must press the entire line and cause heavy damage to the Qing army when it loses command. At this time, the tiger squat cannons and pole guns can play a huge role - both of them fire not solid iron bullets, but dense lead. As long as these cannon guns with extremely powerful short-range lethality are transported, Zhou Shi believes that it will definitely allow the Taiping Army to achieve a major victory.

On the other side of the river, accompanied by the sound of suona, the gun soldiers of the second brigade of the infantry's right battalion lined up in a square formation under the command of the officers, and the remaining more than a thousand soldiers of the infantry's left battalion chased and killed the retreating Qing army in a formation led by the battalion official Ge Yi.

During this period, the Qing army's artillery fired several times, but it could no longer shake the Taiping Army array. After several consecutive shots were shot on his retreating troops and the Taiping Army at the same time, Hu Qili ordered the artillery to stop the artillery and the artillery team immediately transported the artillery to the rear, so as not to be captured by the Taiping Army when retreating.

Zhou Shixiang saw from the Qianli Miles that Shao Chengguo's cavalry was suppressed by the Qing army, but he had no way to send troops to rescue him.

Before the war, the task assigned by Zhou Shi to Shao Chengguo was to expel the Qing army and horses from the battlefield. If it didn't work, drag them down and prevent the Qing army and horses from attacking the right battalion of the infantry crossing the river. However, Shao Chengguo was eager to kill the enemy. After expelling the Qing army and horses, he ignored the reality that his own strength was not enough to annihilate the Qing army and horses. He went deep into the army to try to remove the Qing army and artillery teams on the slope. As a result, he lost his power and was surrounded by the Qing army, with heavy casualties.

The Taiping Army still had a soldier and horse that had not moved, that was Shao Jiugong's personal military camp. However, even though he saw soldiers falling down in the cavalry camp, Zhou Shixiang still had no idea to send his personal military camp to cross the river to rescue, because he was worried that in addition to the troops that had appeared on the battlefield, the Qing army had a backup plan, just like he laid an ambush on the other side of the Lutou River.

When the Qing army attacked Zengcheng, the left camp of the infantry army discovered the Han army flag with a blue flag outside the city. Now, this Han army flag has never appeared on the battlefield. This has to make Zhou Shixiang cautious. If he sent his personal military camp to cross the river now, once the Han army flag joins the battlefield, the Taiping Army will have no mobile power to deal with them.
