Under Qin Guocheng's strict orders, the soldiers of his own family and the banner soldiers who poured into the battlefield also rushed to the Taiping army regardless of casualties.
Wave after wave of attacks only shook the Taiping army's circular defensive circle in jeopardy, and the Xiongwei battalion that was encircled was even more unbearable, and it was in danger of collapsing at any time.
The Taiping Army, which was in the midst of life and death, gritted its teeth in the face of the Qing army that was surging like a tide, and everyone sacrificed their lives to fight, no one said a step back, let alone thought about this step.
Fight, fight with the Qing Demon, and die to die The Taiping Army, which was bent on protecting their relatives from being slaughtered by the Qing army, burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, and the fierceness of the battle shocked the invincible Shang soldiers who had been invincible since they went south.
The flag soldiers really couldn't stand this bloody battle and quietly retreated, but they were mercilessly killed by the soldiers who supervised the battle.
"Don't retreat, whoever dares to take a step back, Bendu will take his head" Qin Guocheng immediately took a big sword, he had decided to eat this surrounded Taiping army at all costs, no matter how big the loss was, he must eat this Taiping army He couldn't help but make such a decision, because the Taiping army was the first strong force he had encountered since he went south, and it was not weaker than Li Dingguo's Daxi soldiers, and if such soldiers and horses could not defeat them in one fell swoop and make them afraid of the Qing army, the threat to Guangzhou would be too great.
Unconsciously, Qin Guocheng no longer regarded Zhou Shixiang, the commander of the Taiping Army, as a thief and talent, nor did he regard the Taiping Army as a rabble that he once thought.
It's a strong team, a team that can change the situation.
The head cut off by the soldiers shocked the Qing soldiers who wanted to retreat, Qin Guocheng personally led Goshha to join the battle circle, under the fierce attack of the Qing soldiers again, the Xiongwei battalion that had long been out of support was the first to collapse, and Shao Jiugong of the hundred households desperately led dozens of remnants to break through the encirclement of the Qing army and join the guard battalion.
"Qianhu, the Tartars rushed too hard, they were incompetent, the majestic camp collapsed, the majestic camp collapsed" Shao Jiugong was crying and reporting to Zhou Shixiang about the defeat of the majestic camp, but Zhou Shixiang didn't say a word after hearing it, only his cheeks couldn't stop shaking up and down, and his eyes were red like fierce beasts.
Zhou Shixiang's appearance made Shao Jiugong feel frightened, but he still persuaded bitterly: "Qianhu, let's withdraw, Brother Qin's side is almost unbearable, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave, there are our sailors on the river, we can't go to the city, let's go to the riverside, no matter how ruthless the Tartars are, they won't dare to chase us to the riverside, and we can live when we get to the riverside."
Shao Jiugong was not frightened by the Qing army, he clearly judged the current situation, although the Qing army in front of him was fierce, but in addition to this Qing army, the Qing army in the rest of the direction has been defeated and retreated, and the current battlefield situation as a whole is still favorable to the Taiping army, after all, the Qing army's encirclement of Xinhui has been broken, and the overall defeat is retreating, while the Taiping army has broken through several defense lines of the Qing army, and there are Jiangshang water divisions to help, even if the east is defeated, it does not matter.
The most important thing at the moment is obviously not to fight a bloody battle with the Qing army on the Eastern Front with cavalry, but to retreat to the river and get in touch with the naval division.
Shao Jiugong's persuasion made Zhou Shixiang a little moved, but he didn't squeak.
Seeing this, Shao Jiugong thought that Zhou Shixiang was adopting his opinion and retreating by default, so he waved his knife and shouted: "Come on, follow me to protect the retreat of thousands of households" Several of Zhou Shixiang's personal soldiers rushed over when they heard Shao Jiugong's voice, and were about to protect the retreat of Qianhu, but they saw Zhou Shixiang violently push away Shao Jiugong, who was about to hold him, and shouted with a black face: "If I don't go anywhere, I will die here, and you will retreat."
Shao Jiugong was stunned for a moment, and he opened his mouth to persuade again, but he saw that a group of soldiers and horses in the south was approaching the guard camp under the interception of the Qing army, and when he looked at it, it was not who Qin Zhisheng was leading the Hujie Battalion Qin Zhisheng has done his best to hold on until now, but the difference between the strength of the enemy and us is too great, the Qing army has cavalry, and the collapse of the Xiongwei battalion has opened the door of his right flank, Qin Zhisheng, who has lost the cover of the flank, can only lead the remnants to move closer to the guard battalion, otherwise, once the Qing army blocks the retreat, the Hujie battalion will be surrounded by the Qing army as before the Xiongwei battalion.
Finding that Qin Zhisheng's troops were moving towards the big car circle, the Qing army immediately divided troops to intercept it, and after paying hundreds of lives, Qin Zhisheng finally led more than 100 remnants of soldiers to retreat into the defensive circle of the guard battalion.
"Where are the thousand households, where are the thousand households" Qin Zhisheng, who was covered in blood, was afraid of hearing Zhou Shixiang's unexpected news, and when he saw Zhou Shixiang still standing firmly in the crowd, his heart suddenly let go.
It will be the courage of the soldiers, and the head of the soldiers, if anything happens to Zhou Shixiang, the rest of the Taiping army will be leaderless, and this situation will be really irreparable.
"A thousand households, the end will be ashamed" Because he failed to stop the Qing army, Qin Zhisheng felt guilty, and his voice was a little choked.
Zhou Shixiang only waved his hand at him: "You are ashamed, I am even more ashamed, don't say anything now, take your person to block the left side" "Compliance" Qin Zhisheng nodded violently, and without saying a word, he joined the left front with more than 100 subordinates who had just escaped death.
Zhou Shixiang didn't say a word to Shao Jiugong from beginning to end, Shao Jiugong was silent for a moment, stomped his feet violently, and also led his men to join the battle circle of the guard battalion.
With the replenishment of the remnants of the Hujie and Xiongwei Second Battalions, the pressure on the strength of the Guards Battalion was slightly relieved, and the defense line was suddenly much stronger.
The Qing army, which pounced on three sides, was still unable to break through the large car circle after paying hundreds of lives.
Qin Guocheng was also red-eyed, and when the battle came to this, there was no idea of preserving his strength, only a contest of who would die.
He had already forgotten Ban Zhifu's pre-war advice, and only wanted to eat the hundreds of Taiping troops who were surrounded.
In the melee, Zhou Shixiang saw Qin Guocheng surrounded by a group of Goshha, and he couldn't wait to ride a big green horse to take the miracle of taking the head of the general among the ten thousand troops, but he knew that it was impossible, so he could only press down the hatred for the enemy general and calm down to command.
In order to motivate his subordinates, he waved his sword again and shouted: "Brothers, the sailor brothers will definitely come to save us, the sailor will definitely come to save us, hold on, hold on, victory will definitely belong to us" Hearing Qianhu say that the sailor would come to rescue them immediately, the Taiping army, which was fighting hard, suddenly boosted their morale, and the strength at hand was even stronger, and they stubbornly blocked the Qing army's wave of attacks.
Unable to solve these hundreds of remnants of the Taiping Army, and finding that the thief Xiucai was in the encirclement, Qin Guocheng mobilized from all sides and threw all the troops that could be mobilized.
Nearly 1,500 Qing troops surrounded the Taiping army.
After once again beheading a Qing soldier who had climbed over the big carriage, Zhou Shixiang shouted: "Taiping Army, fight to the end for his wife and children."
"Fight to the end for your wife and children" The Taiping army in the bloody battle shouted in unison. oshow7 t1706231537:
