Chapter 56
Chapter 55: Thief Scholar
Before his death, Mr. Hu was not talking about Tartars, but his mother, the mother who gave birth to him and raised him.
Slowly, the old lady’s figure became more and more blurred in Boss Hu’s mind, until it disappeared, and there was no light in his sight.
An armored soldier excitedly held Boss Hu’s head in his hand, then raised it demonstratively at the Ming army in front of him, and shouted with the greatest strength in his life: “The thief general is dead, wait for a quick descent! The thief general is dead , wait for the downhill!”
“Big brother!”
Ge Wu shouted, fell to his knees, and banged his head on the ground while crying.
“Big brother!”
The bald man burst into tears and kept beating his chest with his fists. Peng Dazhu and several corps leaders looked at Boss Hu’s head dumbfounded, their eyes full of despair.
General dead?
The group of Luo Ding recruits looked at the head of Boss Hu, who was held in the air by the Qing soldiers, and looked at each other in dismay. Then everyone trembled.
The Jiangxi soldiers at the back panicked when they heard the movement at the front: “Okay, why did the commander kill them!”
“Sir, what should we do! The commander will kill him. Those recruits are scared and can’t beat him, so let’s run!” A Jiangxi soldier ran to Shao Jiugong, his voice full of tears because he was too scared.
“Sir, let’s run!”
The rest of the Jiangxi soldiers also had the intention of retreating. The main generals were all killed, and they still scored a good goal in this battle. Before the Qing army rushed over, let’s hurry up and run!
“run?!”
Shao Jiugong looked at Hu Quan’s head, who was held in mid-air by the Qing soldiers, with a mournful smile on his face, and said, “Run? Where are you going?”
The soldier who was the first to shout about running hurriedly said: “You can run anywhere, anyway, you can’t wait to die here!” Before he finished speaking, Shao Jiugong slapped him with a slap, and the sound of “Bah” made gold stars in his eyes.
“grown ups?”
The soldier covered half of his face and looked at Shao Jiugong in horror, not knowing why he hit him.
Shao Jiugong’s face was ashen, he glanced at the Jiangxi soldiers fiercely, and gritted his teeth: “Others can run, but we can’t! Don’t forget, those words on our back have already broken our way, there are those words Now, it’s useless for us to go anywhere! If we want to survive, we have to fight against the Qing army, and even if we die, we have to pull the backs of this bunch of Deqing’s tortoise sons!”
“We are not working hard for the Ming army, we are working hard for ourselves! If you want to run, you will run, but I won’t run anyway! Zhang Mazi only has so many people, I don’t believe that he has turned the sky! Anyone who has eggs, come with me!”
After Shao Jiugong finished speaking, he almost roared and rushed forward. Seeing this, those Jiangxi soldiers hesitated for a while, but they all followed suit. Shao Jiugong is right, except to defeat the Qing army, they have no other way to survive!
……
“The thief will die, the thief will die!”
The group of Green Battalion soldiers who were kneeling on the ground jumped up from the ground one by one cheering, and went to pick up the thrown weapons.
Once the soldiers of the Green Battalion who had surrendered got their weapons, it would undoubtedly make things worse for the Taiping Battalion whose main general was killed.
At the critical moment, Zhou Shixiang rushed down the hillside and chopped down a Green Battalion soldier who was raising his sword to resist, and then chopped off the arm of a Green Battalion soldier who had just picked up the spear. He shouted at the green camp soldiers who were about to move: “Whoever dares to move will die!”
“Dare to die!”
The few corps leaders who reacted also rushed down, holding guns and knives to force the green camp who got up to kneel. In the face of the long knife that would be cut at any time, the Green Battalion soldiers in front of them were unwilling to kneel down again. Seeing that there were not many of Zhou Shixiang and the others, the Green Battalion soldiers at the back were eager to resist, but before they got up, the Ming army shouted and killed, but Shao Jiugong rushed up with Jiangxi soldiers.
The green battalion soldiers just fled with patronage. Many people didn’t know where their weapons were thrown. Few people would be able to retrieve their weapons, and they would kneel sparsely for half a mile, so it was impossible to form an organized resistance.
Shao Jiugong brought Jiangxi soldiers over and killed more than a dozen Green Battalion soldiers who picked up knives and guns. As a result, the Green Battalion soldiers were bare-handed. The most important thing was that they did not have a leader. Under the threat, he could only kneel down helplessly. When kneeling down, a pair of eyes stared at the front invariably, hoping that the guards would lead the soldiers to come back to save them.
After shocking the surrendered Green Battalion soldiers not to act rashly, Zhou Shixiang left half of his hands to let them watch the Green Battalion soldiers, and collected all the weapons on the ground, lest the Green Battalion soldiers counterattack, and then rushed forward with the remaining twenty people. In the past, on the face, dozens of Luo Ding recruits were escaping.
“Retreat Slash!”
This time, Zhou Shixiang didn’t have the heart to talk nonsense. Seeing that the recruits didn’t obey the order, he ran back. Without saying a word, he hacked to death a recruit who was closest to him, and then fiercely shouted at the fearful recruits: “You can follow suit. This control is on! If you want your wives and children to die, run away, and if you don’t want to, fight with the Tartars!”
“Go back and die!”
Shao Jiugong, who had caught up, also roared when he saw this. Under the shock of the head and the gaze of Jiangxi soldiers, Luo Ding’s recruit had to turn around and follow Zhou Shixiang to rush back.
Some Luo Dingbing had realized that if they lost this battle, their relatives who stayed in Luo Ding would definitely not end well. For the sake of their relatives, they had no way to escape and could only fight against the Qing army.
Song Erniu is one of them. He is also afraid, but no matter how afraid he is, he can only bite the bullet. Otherwise, the Qing army will definitely kill his wife, his wife and children, and the only blood of the elder brother will be killed. kill. If he really wants to do that, how can he be worthy of his mother, how can he meet the elder brother under Jiuquan.
“Kill the Tartars!”
Song Erniu’s heart was beating “thumping”, his whole face seemed numb and he couldn’t twitch. The hands holding the banner were like holding a huge boulder, and he held it firmly, for fear that if he let go, he would be crushed to death by the boulder.
“Brothers, take revenge for Brother Hu and kill all the dog tartars!”
Seeing the appearance of Zhou Shixiang, Ge Wu and Bald immediately had the backbone, and they all stopped, waving their swords and shouting, and rushed towards the Qing soldiers.
Although the death of Boss Hu has boosted the morale of the Qing army and lowered the morale of the Ming army, the Qing army is actually at the end of the force. Because they are so tired.
The appearance of Zhou Shixiang gave the low morale of the Ming army the backbone. Although the morale did not increase because of this, as long as the defeated Ming army turned back again, it would be a huge pressure for those armored soldiers.
Both sides are on the edge of the cliff, it depends on what the last straw is, or who can hold on to the end.
“What a thief showman!”
Zhang Dade saw that Zhou Shixiang actually led his troops to rush up and killed several of his own soldiers.
Tang Sanshui hesitated for a while, but stomped his feet and rushed forward with Zhang Dade. In his opinion, although his own side is running out of strength, the Ming army on the opposite side is also at the end of the line. As long as the leading thief scholar is killed again, the battle will be won. The risk is a little risky, but it is worth fighting for!
If I had known that the Ming army had only so few people, I should have brought all the soldiers out just now!
At this point in the battle, Zhang Dade has already seen that the Taiping Battalion under the banner of the Ming army is not an elite division, and its number is not much larger than his own, not even a few cotton armors, and the soldiers are even more armed with knives and guns. The new chicks, who can’t make it no matter what, are obviously a group of rabble who have assembled temporarily. It doesn’t take much. As long as dozens of new troops join in, this group of new eggs will definitely collapse completely.
But regret is useless, that thief scholar has already led the retreating Ming army to rush up, if you don’t kill this person, the Ming army will not retreat!
Thief Xiucai, if I kill you, I will be a guerrilla master!
Zhang Dade’s eyes were red, and he didn’t even care where his old friend Shao Jiugong was. At this meeting, there was only Zhou Shixiang in his eyes, and he already rushed to the front who wanted to kill Zhou Shixiang.
“kill!”
In the roar, the sword in his hand was already raised.
“kill!”
Zhou Shixiang also shouted loudly, and the long sword also slammed down heavily, and he slashed with Zhang Dade’s big sword abruptly. With a “bang”, a spark flashed, and both of them took a step back, and the tiger’s mouth was painful. All startled.
Zhou Shixiang stunned and moved: What a lot of strength!
Zhang Dade’s expression also changed greatly: How can this thief show such good skills?
When the two of them were stunned for a moment, the soldiers on both sides were already killed together, shouting and screaming incessantly.
There were no less than 100 soldiers from the Ming and Qing Dynasties who collided, and the Taiping camp was still the best in terms of strength. In the previous battle, Zhang Dade’s personal soldiers had already killed 12 or 3 people, and the remaining 20 people would not even have the strength to run. No, relying on many years of murder experience to suppress the Ming army who can’t know anything, only knows how to shout and rush up.
From time to time, soldiers on both sides were hit with knives and guns, screaming one after another, and there were no less than a few people who were hugging each other and rolling together.
“Smash you slut, smash you slut!”
A Luo Dingbing went crazy and smashed a stone at the face of a Qing soldier who had long since swallowed his breath, but the smashed blood was blurred. The bones were still reluctant to let go, but he was so frightened by the scene of this dead man that he lost his mind and went crazy. .
“go to hell!”
Song Erniu waved a long flag and swept an armored soldier to the ground. The other party didn’t have the strength to get up, so he sat there panting heavily while waving his long knife and slashing at an oversighted Ming soldier. Ankle, cut off Ming Jun’s hamstring in one fell swoop, and fell to the ground screaming “Aah” in pain.
Song Erniu, who had blood all over his body, mouth, and face, didn’t know where the cruelty came from. Seeing this, he even took the flag and stabbed it directly at the Qing soldier.
The Qing soldier was covered with a layer of cotton armor, and when he saw that the other party was sticking a flagpole into him, he couldn’t help but grinned and wanted to let out a mocking laugh, but when he felt a pain in his chest, the flagpole actually penetrated the cotton armor and stabbed into his heart.
“Uh!”
The soldier couldn’t believe it. He grabbed the flagpole and tried to pull it out, but he couldn’t pull it out. In his sight, the Ming army stared at him like a fool.
A Luo Ding soldier stabbed his spear into the back of the Qing soldier after his two companions were beheaded by the Qing soldiers. He was so excited that he dropped the spearman and danced: “I killed the Tartars, I Kill the Tartar!”
He only had time to call out twice before he could no longer make a sound, because the back of his neck was cold and a column of blood was spraying.
After cutting off the Ming army who shouted like a fool, the Qing soldiers glanced at the guy’s face contemptuously, and cursed inwardly: “New soldier baby boy!”
Holding the knife, he staggered and wanted to turn around, but his neck also hurt, and he staggered and planted his front.
Shao Jiugong’s Jiangxi soldiers stabilized the Ming army in this hand-to-hand fight. With the advantage of numbers, the Qing army was wiped out little by little, and there were corpses everywhere on the ground.
The Ming army gradually surrounded a Qing soldier with two or three people. The Qing army without backup and strength could only resist in vain. Some people wanted to run, but their legs could no longer run.
Tang Sanshui saw that the situation was not good, so he was so anxious to pull back the guard. In his sight, the guard was still fighting with the thief scholar.
Zhou Shixiang was superior in physical flexibility, but Zhang Dade was superior in strength. After a few rounds, the two were indistinguishable. But the mentality of the two at this time is very different. Zhang Dade is anxious, Zhou Shixiang is calm, and only with his eyes, he also knows that the scale of victory has turned to the Taiping Camp. As long as his backbone is not dead, the Qing army will never try to regain situation!
At this time, a Qing army archer took an arrow and shot at Zhou Shixiang, the arrow rubbed Zhou Shixiang’s cheek, Zhou Shixiang was startled and avoided, Zhang Dade’s knife had already slashed to the left waist, Zhou Shixiang raised the knife to block, and under his feet It slipped and fell to the ground.
“Master Domination!”
Seeing Zhou Shixiang fall to the ground, Shao Jiugong jumped with a ‘squeak”. At this critical moment, Zhou Shixiang can’t have another accident, or the gods can’t save the Taiping Camp!
Shao Jiugong, who was eager to save people, shouted and rushed up. Zhang Dade’s beard was full of hair, and he didn’t even look at Shao Jiugong. He slashed at Zhou Shixiang with a knife, but there was something in front of him. After a great pain, his vision suddenly blurred. . But it was a Luo Dingbing who saw that the commander was in danger, he touched a handful of stones and smashed it at Zhang Dade. One of the stones hit Zhang Dade’s brow, and it smashed into a big hole. The blood and sweat dripped down, and Zhang Dade couldn’t open his eyes.
Seeing this, Zhou Shixiang jumped up with a scorpion, and with a strong wave of his right hand, he slashed at Zhang Dade’s right face, and even cut out a large piece of meat from the belt.
“Thief show talent!”
Zhang Dade was in excruciating pain, rolled on the ground with his face in his arms, and Shao Jiugong stepped forward to make another knife, and he broke the old enemy in an instant.
Just as the death of Boss Hu made the Taiping Battalion lose its fighting spirit~www.readwn.com~ Zhang Dade’s death also made the Qing soldiers who were fighting fiercely with the Ming army in chaos. Came here, and was dismembered in the blink of an eye.
“No more, no more…”
An armored Qing soldier who really had no strength to fight any more fell to the ground, didn’t care about anything, just gasped for breath.
After Zhang Dade’s death, Tang Sanshui wanted to run away, but was caught by Ge Wu, and raised it to Zhou Shixiang like a rabbit. Without waiting for the other party to say anything, he lay on the ground and kept hitting his head on the ground begging for mercy: “Don’t kill me, hero. Do not kill me!”
Zhou Shixiang was also too tired to stand up, so he waved his hand towards Tang Sanshui and said to him, “I won’t kill you, you should ask them to surrender.”
“well!”
Tang Sanshui stood up from the ground without a word, and then shouted to the Qing soldiers who were still resisting, asking them to put down their weapons and surrender.
There are still more than 40 people left, and there are 17 or 8 armored soldiers. Many of them were injured, and they didn’t want to fight anymore. After hearing the call of General Qian, I saw that the guard was dead. It was useless to fight, so they threw down their swords and guns, and then slumped on the ground, Ren Mingjun went to pick up his swords and guns, and took off his cotton armor.
