Chapter six hundred and forty second come and go without indecent manner
In the mirror of the Thousand Mile, Roto saw the Taiping Army moving dozens of artillery from both wings to the Central Army. At the same time, an iron-armored soldier broke out from the Taiping Army's rear formation and headed straight for Li Benshen's central infantry. Nearly 10,000 Qing troops in the encirclement were half of armor-free soldiers. If the Taiping Army's iron-armored soldiers approached, let alone those armor-free soldiers, they would be afraid that they would not be able to stop them even with armor-free soldiers.
"Let Alzin rush forward and stop the armored soldier and take down the southern cannon!"
Roto was shocked and hurriedly sent out the general order. The banner was too low, so a few Goshhas went to pass the order.
Roto's order was a little late. The Qing army, who was fighting with the Taiping Army, was shocked to find that the Taiping Army was suddenly retreating to both sides like a tide. Then a group of Taiping Army covered in iron armor stepped towards them with big swords and spears.
Gao Di, who was sitting on the horse in the Qing army formation, witnessed the iron armored warrior formation, his face changed drastically, and subconsciously shouted: "It's an iron armored warrior, retreat quickly, you can't stop it!"
Bai Guangen had long seen the murderous iron-armored soldier. Seeing that the other party was coming to his direction, he retreated without thinking about pulling the reins.
Li Benshen was in the center of the battle formation and could not detect the abnormal movements coming from the front. By the time of discovery, the Taiping Army's Iron Man Guard was about to approach the Qing army, which made the Qing cavalry in the distance unable to stop the extreme. If he wanted to pounce directly on, he would inevitably rush together with his own infantry.
Arjin had suffered the loss of the Iron Man Guard before, and knew that even if Li Benshen could not withstand it, he gritted his teeth and ordered his subordinates to follow him to rush to the Taiping Army to the flag and the moving artillery soldiers. Capture the thief and capture the king first. Arjin's judgment was correct. He was beaten one side in front. As long as the flag was taken down, the winner would become the loser.
Aljin was Ezhen, Gushan, Manzhou Province. He had prestige on weekdays. After hearing his orders, more than 2,000 Manchu and Mongolian cavalry immediately turned around and rushed towards the Taiping Army General Banner. Seeing this, the infantry of the Guoan Command Headquarters did not flock to the central army, but followed Aljin to rush to the Taiping Army General Banner.
Yu Shizhong, on the high platform, stared at the Qing cavalry returning from the right wing. Seeing that the other party did not go to reinforce Li Benshen, he came to him. The flag in his hand waved again, and the drum sounded. The Ma Yaozi King, who had led his troops to withdraw from the land, was stunned for a moment when he saw the banner order, and then burst into laughter and galloped, but he was killing the Qing army in the distance.
It is impolite to come but not come!
At the same time, Shang Keyuan also moved his remaining soldiers to the direction of the flag. On the other side, the Taiping cavalry, who had been cooperating with the Fourth Town to drive Zhang Yong's troops, abandoned Zhang Yong's troops and turned around to kill him in the direction of the flag. After the Taiping cavalry, Zhang Yong did not feel relaxed, because he could gather less than 2,000 remaining soldiers, but there were three or four thousand Taiping soldiers in front of him. So even without the threat of that cavalry, it would be difficult for Zhang Yong to repel the Taiping army in front of him, because his morale was gone.
The Manchu and Mongolian cavalry of the Alzin tribe rushed towards the direction where Yu Shizhong was. Just as they gathered from the scattered line, the Taiping Army's cannons fired. The shells pierced the sky with a terrifying whistling sound, and fell among them while the Qing cavalry was waiting for them. The solid iron ball instantly swept out a long line. In this long line area, there were no living creatures.
The Qing army was not frightened by the shells, but rushed forward even more madly. They thought the Taiping Army would fire the solid cannon again, but this time they fired the tiger squat cannon. The lead was smashed towards the Qing army in a fan shape, overturning it. The panicked war horses ran around randomly, and the owner of the horse had been lifted off the horse, and even dragged it on the horse. The horses that had lost their masters collided on the battlefield, causing such chaos in the charge of the Qing army.
No less than two hundred Manchu and Mongolian cavalry were shot down by artillery fire, but more Manchu and Mongolian cavalry rushed to the Taiping Army's artillery. Zoring Galai could even clearly see the Taiping Army soldiers who were only twenty or thirty steps away on the opposite side. He thought that the Taiping Army gunners would turn around and run wildly, but the gunners in their eyes were still standing there and staring at them with wide eyes. What appeared on their faces was not a look of fear, but excited, with expectations in their excitement.
What are the Han barbarians waiting for?
Galai's heart was covered with a shadow, and his intuition told him that there was hell ahead. He wanted to pull the horse, but the high-speed war horse could not stop at all. Even if he could stop, he would be knocked over by his companions behind him in an instant.
Unable to stop, Galai could only grit his teeth and continue to rush forward. The saber in his hand was tightly held, his breathing became more and more rapid, and he could even hear his heartbeat.
Suddenly, he felt a lighter under his body, to be precise, a sharp lighter under his feet, and then he noticed that his mount fell down.
Below is a thick earth, how can it fall?
Gala subconsciously looked under his feet and cursed in his heart. The damn man actually dug a trench around the flag!
The surroundings of the General Banner were indeed hollowed out by the Taiping Army, and a trench surrounding the General Banner was dug out about two miles long. It was just a blank wooden board, then covered with mud, and then moved the grass from the place to cover it. From a distance, you would not find anything wrong here.
If the Qing army had carefully paid attention to the Taiping Army's mobilization from the beginning, they would find that the Taiping Army did not come out directly from the surrounding flags, but came out from some fixed areas in groups. There was the only passage.
Hundreds of Manchu and Mongolian cavalry rushing at high speed rushed into the trench at the same time. With the sound of "thump", one war horse and their owners fell into the trench several feet deep, with sharp trenches covered with sharp trenches. People called horses neighed and wailed.
The unlucky Qing soldiers were killed by Jianla. Fortunately, they asked their mounts to save their lives, because the sharp mounts in the ditch were not enough to directly penetrate the body of the war horses to nail the Qing soldiers above. But the Qing soldiers who had been saved by their mounts had no time to be glad that they were lucky because when they stood up from the mounts and were about to climb out of the ditch, they found black bamboo tubes falling above their heads. The bamboo tubes were covered with sparks, some just landed in the ditch so casually, while others were thrown at them accurately.
"What the hell!"
The Qing soldiers shouted, "The instinct for danger made them just want to stay away from these bamboo tubes that would spark, but before they could climb out, the black bamboo tubes exploded with a loud noise. In the explosion, the lead pieces flew into pieces, regardless of the flying shooting of the people, and the howling of the ghosts and bitter wolves in the Qing soldiers.
Thousands of Manchu and Mongolian cavalry witnessed the sudden disappearance of the companion in front of them, and then they heard loud explosions and screams of their companions.
The trench in front of us, covered with corpses of people and horses, should not be taken lightly like a pool of thunder.
Arjin's hand holding the horse's reins was already trembling. He participated in dozens of battles. Although most of them followed the Han army and the Green Camp to compete for merit, as Gushan Ezhen, he was also well-known among the Manzhou royal family. He was a general with great experience in the battle formation. However, this was the first time he had seen such a tragic scene.
The Manchu and Mongolian cavalry all stopped opposite the ditch. For tens of seconds, they were motionless and staring at the front of the cannons falling from their heads.
Many of the men of Manzhou have never been to the battlefield before, nor even pulled bows and arrows. The reason why they followed the army south was just to make military achievements and make a future. They had never seen such a tragic scene.
Another cannon landed on the ground in front of Alzin's left, bounced up again from the ground, smashing the two Goshhas and their men and horses beside him.
Shang Keyuan's 14th Town rushed over and shot the Qing soldiers who seemed to be stupid with a few muskets and bows.
"withdraw!"
The tragic death of Goshha beside him made Alzin come to his senses and issued the order he thought he should give the most, which was to retreat immediately.
Galai avoided the Taiping Army's cannons, the sharp trench in the trench, and the black bamboo tube of the Taiping Army, but he lost his mount. He crawled out of the ditch, and looked around in a daze, with a buzzing sound in his ears. The loud explosion made his eardrums bleeding, and he could not hear anything. The blood on his forehead also blurred his vision. He turned around with difficulty and found that the companions behind him were all open, and many people were pulling the horse's head.
Although Gala couldn't hear it, he was not fooled by the bomb. He knew that the people behind him must be retreating. As soon as they retreated, he had no chance to survive. The corner of his mouth opened slightly, trying to say something, but he couldn't say it. He shook his head and turned around again. A shell about the size of his head fell from the sky and smashed directly from his head. In an instant, his brain was overflowing.
After Alzin's retreat order, the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry became in chaos. The young Manchu children fled in scattered in order to survive. Panic spread rapidly, and the Manchu and Mongolian veterans were also infected. Everyone thought that the battle had been defeated. At this time, anyone who could not escape would have to die.
The Qing cavalry wanted to run away, but the Taiping army refused.
Yu Shizhong waved the flag again, and the fourteenth town, which was still in the distance, immediately rushed to the chaotic Qing cavalry. The wolf soldiers kept stabbing the Qing soldiers with their spears, and teams of people surrounded and strangled the already unorganized Qing soldiers.
