In just a moment, Li Weiguo gave several orders in a row. He had made the worst plan, prepared to sacrifice the rear team of the Shanghai army, protect the artillery of the front team, and ensure that most of the Shanghai soldiers in the middle could safely withdraw back to the Jiangnan camp as much as possible, and minimize the loss of troops as much as possible.▲∴▲∴,

The Taiping Army's large cavalry arrived in an instant, and the mountains and fields were densely packed.

Ten thousand horses galloped, and the earth shook with the rumbling and trembling. The Taiping cavalry rushed towards the Shanghai army with a huge murderous aura.

Although the Shanghai Army was well-trained, the time was too hasty. As soon as the Shanghai soldiers who had cut off the rear formed a defensive formation, the enemy cavalry rushed in front of them.

The Shanghai army was a squadron of 500 people closest to the enemy. It had just completed the assembly. Facing the whistling enemy cavalry, the commander pulled out his command knife and shouted: "The first three rows obey orders! Push the guns! Get ready to prevent shock!"

Anti-shock is a training subject for Shanghai soldiers. Since the Battle of Baoshan, it has been specially established to deal with the raided enemy cavalry impacts.

The order was issued, and the three hundred Shanghai soldiers on the outermost periphery quickly made a defensive cavalry attack formation.

"Call me!"

The soldiers in the first row shouted loudly, quickly half-kneeled on the ground, holding the musket with a butt, holding the musket in both hands, at a forty-five degrees, with the bayonet facing outward, facing the belly of the oncoming enemy horse.

"Call me!"

The soldiers in the second row shouted in unison, stepped forward, pressed the stock with their thighs, and placed the musket on the shoulders of the front row soldiers at about 75 degrees. The bayonet was raised and the height was facing the chest of the enemy's war horses.

"Call me!"

The soldiers in the third row shouted in unison, turned backwards, and took back to back with the soldiers in the second row, leveraging each other with the guns in their arms, and rushed forward with bayonets.

After three shouts, the horse-resisting formation was completed.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves roared and the enemy cavalry had rushed in front of him.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

At the critical moment of life and death. The soldiers on both sides had blood red eyes instantly, and they burst into a murderous aura, fighting to the death.

In order to seize the credit, a Taiping army soldier rushed to the Shanghai Army's horse-resisting formation as fast as possible. The war horse instantly bumped into it.

A Shanghai soldier in the first row shouted loudly, and the bayonet instantly pierced into the abdomen of the war horse. The horse jumped up in pain. The bayonet of the second row of soldiers instantly pierced into the front chest of the war horse. The bayonet of the third soldier could pierce between the neck and jaw of the war horse. The horse was killed instantly.

The war horses rushed towards them, and their speed did not decrease. These three Shanghai soldiers took advantage of their strength to provoke the war horses, and at the same time used force. With the huge inertia of the war horses, they provoked the war horses and threw them behind them.

With a rumbling sound, the war horse fell to the ground. The Taiping soldier was instantly knocked dizzy and was about to get up. The Shanghai soldiers in the back row surrounded him with bayonets.

Puff puff puff!

Three bayonets pierced into the Taiping Army's chest at the same time, and blood splattered, killing instantly.

This is an elite Taiping cavalry who rushed to the front countless times. This time he rushed over with great confidence, but unexpectedly lost his life.

The body fell in a pool of blood, but it kept staring at me and died with my eyes open.

This is just a small part, a small moment.

It was soon after that, and the Taiping cavalry rushing in front of the Shanghai Army lost their stern and died in the sand and died in the Huangquan. But there were too many Taiping cavalry, and wave after wave of roaring. The Shanghai soldiers fought against horse power with manpower, and their physical strength was consumed. The horse-rejecting formation was quickly broken.

In a blink of an eye, the four 500-man phalanxes of Shanghai troops responsible for the cut off were broken one after another, and the enemy cavalry raging, causing chaos in the formation of the Shanghai troops, and the two sides were immediately in a melee.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The shouts of killing were everywhere, and blood and blood were flying everywhere. Screams were rising one after another.

Cavalry should have the advantage over infantry. The Taiping Army used cavalry to raid the Qing army's infantry in recent times, and almost all slaughtered one-sidedly.

However, it is very different at this moment.

The Shanghai Army's muskets and bayonets can be used as spears at this time, which is restraining the cavalry. In addition, the Shanghai Army is well-trained and has excellent bayonet skills, which immediately caused heavy casualties and casualties to the Taiping Army's cavalry.

Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng, one on the left and one on the right, each leading an elite cavalry to attack. Almost no one can take charge of the two, which shows how brave they are. Especially Chen Yucheng, who can rank among the top ten in Chinese history, was an enemy of ten thousand people in ancient times.

However, despite the two of them leading the team to fight, they could no longer quickly defeat the fighting will of the Shanghai army, but were dragged down by the Shanghai army and their impact speed.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

A series of violent explosions came from the front, the earth was shaking, and the explosion was deafening, and instantly, a cluster of fiery red mushroom clouds rose and rushed straight into the sky.

This is the artillery of the front corps of the Shanghai Army destroying artillery, ammunition, firearms and parts, as well as food and grass, and will never be left to the Taiping Army.

Li Xiucheng was very jealous of the Shanghai Army's muskets and cannons. He wanted to make a big profit in this raid, but he never thought that the Shanghai Army was too cruel and was destroyed.

Seeing the artillery soldiers in the front of the Shanghai Army traveling lightly and quickly retreating, Li Xiucheng was so anxious that he led his cavalry to pursue him, but was constantly intercepted by the Shanghai Army squadron and rear team, and it was difficult to move forward.

Seeing the Shanghai Army running far away and unable to catch up, Li Xiucheng was furious.

At this time, a Taiping cavalry shouted: "That's Li Weiguo!"

Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng heard it almost at the same time, and immediately looked over. Sure enough, they saw about 500 Shanghai soldiers protecting a young man in the Qing Dynasty uniform in the central government.

You should know that the soldiers and officers of the Shanghai Army had their heads shaved and claimed that the lay disciples of Longhua Temple were wearing modern green military uniforms. Because Li Weiguo was the commander and was concerned about the Qing court accountability, he could only wear the court robes of Qing officials, so it was very easy to identify among the Shanghai Army.

Li Xiucheng suddenly turned angry and thought that as long as he captured Li Weiguo, even if he failed to wipe out the main force of the Shanghai army, it would be enough to be the king.

"Kill me! Those who capture Li Weiguo alive will be granted a marquis and will be rewarded with tens of thousands of taels of gold!"

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng first killed Li Weiguo in the direction where he was. Many Taiping cavalry around him heard the reward order and screamed and followed him to kill him.

At this moment, Li Weiguo was not panicked at all. He did not know that he had fought with Interpol and special forces from various countries hundreds of times in his later generations, and he was no longer afraid of such a life-and-death battle.

At this time, the retreating Shanghai troops in front of the army needed the most time to escape from the Taiping Army's pursuit, and were responsible for cutting off the rear and fighting with the Shanghai troops trapped in the Taiping Army's encirclement. They needed a spiritual leader to command, and Li Weiguo was calm at this time. This immediately gave the nearly two thousand Shanghai soldiers who were trapped in the melee to have a backbone.

"Brothers, the brave ones who meet on a narrow road will win! I, Li Weiguo, are with you, kill me!"

Li Weiguo has an unparalleled prestige in the army on weekdays and is supported by the officers and soldiers. At this moment, Li Weiguo did not escape immediately, but continued to take charge of the command. This performance is admirable.

Especially for the bloody soldiers, Li Weiguo's performance greatly boosted the morale of these Shanghai soldiers. His words were like a ball of fire, instantly igniting the passion in the hearts of the Shanghai soldiers, making them excited, and their combat power exploded instantly, and they fought wildly with the enemy.

At this time, Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng, one on the left and one on the right, led a team of cavalry to fight towards Li Weiguo.

If it were normal, Li Weiguo might be so excited to see these two great figures in the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but at this moment, Li Weiguo was only angry.

He shouted immediately: "Brothers, capture the king first, if you want to survive, kill Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng!"

The Taiping Army came to capture Li Weiguo alive in order to be crowned kings and offer rewards, while the Shanghai Army killed Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng in order to survive. The former did not have the determination to die, while the latter was desperate to fight back to death. They were also crazy, while the Shanghai Army was even more crazy.

"Protect the adults and kill them for me!"

Suddenly, a Shanghai army officer shouted and rushed forward to intercept him with more than a hundred people.

Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng have very high military strength. Although these more than 100 Shanghai soldiers were well-trained, it was difficult to stop these two fierce men, but they delayed for a short period of time.

During this short period of time, Li Weiguo had an additional rifle. It was the Weiguo-style rifle he developed and manufactured by himself.

"Click!Click!"

Li Weiguo skillfully pulled the bolt and loaded the bullet. Then he raised the gun and aimed at Chen Yucheng, and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

When the gunshot was fired, a personal soldier beside Chen Yucheng kept paying attention to Li Weiguo. Seeing that Li Weiguo aimed at Chen Yucheng, he immediately rushed up as a bullet regardless of everything.

The Taiping soldier was shot in the head, and a ball of blood suddenly exploded, spitting Chen Yucheng's face.

Li Weiguo frowned immediately, missed a shot, quickly pulled the bolt, pushed the bullet into the load, aimed at Chen Yucheng again, and quickly pulled the trigger.

At the same time, Chen Yucheng also noticed Li Weiguo's actions, but he was stunned for a moment. For the first time, he saw a musket that could be fired again without installing gunpowder.

There is no need to be stunned or dazed on the battlefield. Chen Yucheng obviously made a big mistake that he shouldn't have made.

Bang!

The gunshot sounded again, and a nine-mm bullet instantly penetrated Chen Yucheng's left chest armor and shot into his body.

Ah puff!

Chen Yucheng instantly bleeded blood and fell down.

A smart Shanghai army officer shouted immediately.

"Chen Yucheng is dead!"

"Chen Yucheng was killed by Lord Li Weiguo!"

When the Shanghai soldiers heard this, their morale was greatly boosted. The originally exhausted strength seemed to be reborn and immediately fought back.

The general was the soul of the soldier. When he heard the news of Chen Yucheng's death, the soldiers of the Taiping Army were immediately panicked.

"Li Xiucheng is dead too!"

At this time, someone shouted that Li Xiucheng was dead, and Li Xiucheng was so angry that he screamed. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, he hurriedly clarified.

"Fuck me, Li Xiucheng is still alive!"

Bang!

when!

As soon as Li Xiucheng finished calling, a bullet hit his head. It was the gun fired by Li Weiguo.

However, the shot hit Li Xiucheng's helmet, and sparks were drawn. The violent impact of the bullet caused Li Xiucheng to instantly concussion and blood flowed down his forehead.

"Li Weiguo, I want to kill you!"
