~《》~    Chapter 349 The Most Glorious Day

The black clouds were already pressing over, and the horse team was getting faster and faster. Some soldiers nervously fired the rifle in their hands, but at this distance, even if they fired the gun, they could not accurately hit an enemy standing still, let alone the speeding horse team.

Chen Ningping was so nervous for the first time. Even when Shengbao invested 12 stairs camps and 6,000 people to attack the two and a half companies, he had never been so nervous.

He pulled out the company flag inserted on the ground, waved the flag vigorously, and ordered loudly: "Don't be anxious, listen to my orders! Listen to my orders, prepare, prepare for shooting postures, listen to my orders and open fire!"

His hands were trembling. This was the first time he saw such a gorgeous horse team. Although there were only eight hundred horses, in Chen Ningping's eyes, this was simply no different from a thousand troops.

He found his heartbeat very hard, but he still maintained a superficial calm, while the soldiers seemed a little panicked, and from time to time, soldiers pulled the board machine.

But it is a difficult task to hit the speeding war horse. Moreover, the monk's horse team looks dense, but in fact it has spread out, and there is a considerable gap between horses.

The black clouds were getting closer and closer and were about to rush to about a hundred meters. Now the officers and soldiers could only hear the sound of horse hooves of war horses, and even the sound of gunfire on both sides was covered up.

"boom……"

The artillery on the top of the small hills that opened fire first concentrated all their firepower and began to bombard them. Various artillery shells, whether they were shotguns, solid shells, grenades, or grape shells, all carried out rapid fire in the shortest time. However, unlike the formation of bombardment infantry, the results achieved by the artillery this time were quite limited.

The entire horse team was still roaring forward, not affected by the artillery at all. The officers and soldiers let out a long sigh of disappointment. Only a few horses were knocked to the ground, but they were soon submerged by the brigade that followed.

Compared with the eight hundred horses, this scene of people rushing down on horseback is not funny at all. Then, Chen Ningping shouted loudly: "Call!"

"shoot!"

At this moment, the officers and soldiers concentrated nearly three hundred rifles and began to fire volleys. Unlike the usual shooting from right to left, this time the entire army opened fire almost at the same time, and the entire sniper position was submerged in a piece of white smoke, so it was unclear how many results they had achieved.

Zhen Changyu stood on the top of the small hill. Seeing the results of this shooting, he took off his military cap and shouted nervously: "Shoot soon!"

In this round of shooting, many cavalrymen were knocked off the horse as if they were dumplings. Some of the horses rolled on the ground in pain, but the overall results were not satisfactory. They just defeated twenty or thirty cavalry.

"Shoot quickly! Load quickly!" Chen Ningping ordered loudly: "Listen to my order, the company commander Chen Ningping is here!"

With his voice, the emotions of the entire company finally calmed down, and no deserters appeared, but everyone was still unsure.

There was a piece of white smoke in front of me, and the sound of horse hooves roaring. The horse team was getting closer and closer, and some even suspected that they could hear the sound of war horses.

They don’t have much trust in the chest wall they built, and they don’t think that such a low chest wall can block the roar of the Iron Cavalry. At most, they have a chance to shoot one or two rounds.

Although this chest wall was carefully constructed by them, Zhen Changyu had already explained in advance that whoever dug out the chest wall would be guarding there, so no officer or soldier dared to cut corners, but such a chest wall obviously could not resist the impact of the horse team.

In this case, there were no deserters in the second battalion of Nanxi regiment, but some personnel were excited and didn't know how to load ammunition, which could be said to be an extremely excellent performance.

The white smoke roughly dissipated, the black clouds were approaching, Chen Ningping waved the company flag and shouted: "Recharge, shoot!"

Now the cavalry has crossed the fence that once caused the Qing army's infantry to suffer. They shouted and howled. This time, only forty or fifty rifles were loaded, and even fewer results were obtained. Only more than ten cavalry were knocked to the ground and then flooded by the brigade of horses.

The artillery also concentrated all its firepower to bombard the monk's horse team again. The results of this battle were still unsatisfactory. Only one grenade knocked down three or four horses, causing the impact of the Qing army to be not small and small.

On the other side, Sheng Bao saw the monk's horse team being covered with dust. Seeing that it was only a dozen feet away from the Hongjun, he shouted loudly: "Okay!"

The monk said, "The red thief can fire another round of guns at most!"

In fact, some officers and soldiers were already panicked. Facing such black clouds to overwhelm the city, it would be a false alarm. Even Chen Ningping himself had the idea of ​​putting down the banner and retreating, but he still shouted: "Hold on! Reloading and shooting, it's that simple, victory belongs to us!"

The black clouds pressed over, and the casualties became smaller and smaller. Their speed was getting faster and faster, and they were almost sprinting towards the chest wall. Some Qing troops had already grabbed their long weapons in their hands. When they were about to rush to the chest wall, they turned their horse's head and stabbed the weapons in their hands out!

They could see clearly that there were less than 300 red thieves guarding the chest wall in front of them, and everything was clear at a glance with their uniforms, military caps, and even the white armed belts of the officers.

Just when Shengbao and the Sengwang both thought they were sure to win, the cavalry who was rushing in front suddenly fell off their feet and flipped forward. Then the entire forward disappeared on the road - no, he was flooded with soil.

"Stuck the horse pit!"

The monk king saw through the tactics of the Red Thieves at the first time. In addition to that fence, the Red Thieves also set up a long trench only a few meters away from the chest wall, or a horse trap.

The forward of the entire horse team rushed into the long ditch and made earth-shaking screams inside. I don’t know what mechanism was set up, but standing on the side of the monk, you can see the people and horses inside rolling in pain.

The entire horse team was stunned by the drastic changes. Soon some cavalry stopped the horse in panic, but were hit by the brigade behind. Some cavalry relied on their good riding skills and forced a horse jump before the trench, but became the protagonist of the tragedy. They fell directly into the big trench, and they didn't know how to live or die.

At this moment, the long ditch several feet wide finally revealed its hideous true face. The black clouds that were overthrowing the city suddenly stopped in front of the Changgou, and saw at least 10 or 20 riders rolling there in the Changgou.

Chen Ningping now rushed to the chest wall with the company flag. He had already seen the Qing cavalry at a loss and ordered loudly: "Listen to my orders, recharge! Shoot!"

The officers and soldiers of the Hong Army who had just lost their fighting spirit have now regained their courage. They looked proudly at the hundreds of war horses opposite and couldn't move forward and retreat, and tried their best to control the war horses not to fall into the ditch.

"put!"

Nearly three hundred rifles fired volleys, and fired from right to left. At the same time, at least dozens of rifles were leaping with fireworks. The Qing cavalry, who had been fighting, fell off their horses before Changgou, and some of them fell into a pool of blood.

Zhen Changyu also shouted loudly: "Architecture, artillery, volley!"

Just like the initial infantry was pressed before the fence, the entire Qing army was now crowded in front of Changgou. From time to time, unfortunate guys fell head-on before Changgou. The horse team behind didn't know what was going on, and they were still trying hard to squeeze forward. Where can I find such a good target?

"put!"

Twelve pounds of mountain gratas were the first to fire, and the narrow area was filled with war horses and cavalry. Countless shrapnel baptized this area, and people and war horses fell to the ground at any time.

The cross firepower crossed on three sides, countless gun bullets, shotguns, solid bullets, and grape bullets baptized this area again and again. Now the infantry of the Hongjun was loading happily while firing, and there was a blood waterfall in front of him.

"What a vicious red thief!" Senggelinqin almost fell off his horse when he saw it. He shouted loudly: "Get back quickly, retreat quickly!"

But Sheng Bao was a cruel man. He shouted loudly: "Prince, success and gains and losses are at this moment. Fill this trench and press it over, press it over!"

In Shengbao's eyes, he only saw victory, and there were no casualties. Even if the team was seriously injured in the artillery fire of the Hongjun, he still shouted: "The Monk King, you can't retreat! You can fill the trench with your lives!"

But Shengbao did not take human life seriously. He estimated that the trench was only three or five feet wide. If one or two hundred people were filled in, the horse team that followed could be as if it were on the flat ground. However, the monk king was different. He shouted loudly: "Ming Jin, Ming Jin, come back quickly!"

The golden drum sounded. When the Qing army, who was at a loss before Changgou, heard the round of golden drum sounding, he quickly turned and retreated desperately.

They came in a majestic way and retreated in a very embarrassing manner. The Hongjun's guns and cannons would not let them go, leaving them with thirty or forty corpses behind them.

Now the entire horse team has retreated from the sea of ​​blood, and the monk's tears have almost fallen: "I'm sorry for you. Since the military success, the horse team has never lost like this!"

"There are always things that happen!" Shengbao was very worried, and he said, "I almost won this time!"

On the Hong Army, there was a lot of joy, and even the Qing army's troops, which were restrained on the flank, retreated in shock because of such cheers.

Now, the long ditch, which is two and six feet long and about ten feet deep, has been truly exposed. It has been filled with half of the bodies of the Qing army. If the Shengbao method is followed, the entire horse team may be filled in, and maybe it can really fill out a way.

However, the cavalry of the Qing army was a living person, not a marionette of Shengbao. Even if the monks did not allow the horses to retreat, their defeat was only a matter of time.

Chen Ningping waved the military flag and shouted: "Brothers, this is the most glorious day in our company!"
