The armor soldiers beside Yu Guowang listened to the words of the rich businessman, and their faces changed."
There is a clear dog!"
The armorers immediately became nervous.Yu Guowang's face sank, and he hurriedly whispered an order, "Don't panic, it's just a few wild dogs that have protruded forward." ”Yu Guowang whispered to stop the soldiers and told them not to act rashly, and then said to the rich businessman: "What do you call it?"
”"Contemptible Zhou Rong is from Changzhou!"
The fat merchant turned his back to the congested people and said in some panic."
How did Zhou Yuanwai find out that there were Qing army scouts?"
Yu Guowang looked at the pontoon bridge and asked in a low voice.Zhou Rong licked his lips, "Contemptible people are in business, good at observing words and feelings, ordinary people can guess what career they are engaged in and their family conditions as long as they look at it."
These people are wrapped in cloth scarves, their bodies are strong, and they don't have their families around them, so they are clearly people in the army, so they arouse the suspicion of contemptible people. ”Yu Guowang looked up and found that there were at least hundreds of scouts mixed in the crowd, and there may be some people who didn't find it, and his face became gloomy.After hearing this, the officials of the thousands of households next to him saw many refugees wrapped in headscarves on the bridge, and couldn't help but say anxiously: "Commander, Qinggou is going to take the opportunity to snatch the pontoon bridge at this time!"
”Yu Guowang whispered a few words to the thousand households, and Qianli immediately turned around, and then Yu Guowang swept to the bridge and found that there were several people wrapped in turbans, who were watching nervously.Yu Guowang said in a low voice: "Outside Zhou Yuan, you will be compensated for this carload of goods!"
”After speaking, Yu Guowang shouted loudly, cut the rope on the horse with a knife, "Lift the car off for me!"
”The soldiers immediately moved the horses, worked together, even the car with the goods, and lifted off the pontoon bridge together, Zhou Rong was also clever, and cried on the spot, Yu Guowang carried the war knife and scolded: "Howl again, cut you with a knife!"
”As soon as he waved his hand, a soldier stepped forward and dragged Zhou Rong aside.Yu Guowang did not return to the bridge, but stood on the edge of the pontoon bridge, put his knife into the sheath, commanded the people, and shouted loudly: "Everyone go forward, don't block the pontoon bridge!"
”The crowd began to move forward, Wang Jiaping let out a long breath, gave the people around him a look, then picked up the flat shoulder and followed the flow of people.The pontoon bridge is very long, Wang Jiaping lowered his head, walked past Yu Guowang and others, his face showed a fierce look, if the pontoon bridge is captured, the Eight Banners Army will follow up and cross the river, and the defense line operated by tens of thousands of people in Zhao Zamao will be broken immediately.At this time, when Wang Jiaping was secretly happy, he saw that he was approaching the bridge, but behind him, Yu Guowang suddenly took a flintlock pistol from the hand of the armor soldier, and aimed it at a man wrapped in a turban not far in front of him, and raised the musket to shoot.With a sound of "bang", a cloud of blood mist rose behind the man and threw himself forward.The sudden change stunned everyone on the bridge.Yu Guowang suddenly shouted: "Give me all the lie down and kill the dog!"
”The sound of gunfire alarmed the Qing army scouts hiding in the ranks of refugees, Wang Jiaping was shocked, he didn't expect that he was exposed, he tore off his disguise with a hideous face, took out a war knife from under the flat shoulder, took out the weapon from the car, and slashed at the refugees in front of him with a knife, and launched an impact on the bridgehead with a roar."
Brothers, kill!"
Wang Jiaping slashed the refugee in front of him to death, wielding a knife and roaring.Seeing this, the Qing army scouts in the crowd picked up their weapons and charged forward, but there were too many refugees on the bridge, blocking their way, so the Qing army scouts, frantically wielding knives, screaming and slaughtering refugees, killing a bloody road.The crowded people on the bridge were frightened and screamed again and again by the sudden change, some listened to the roar of the Ming soldiers, lying on the bridge, some threw down their burdens and ran forward without their lives, and some people jumped into the water to escape, and the pontoon bridge instantly became a mess.At this time, the flintlock musketeers of the Ming army at the bridgehead were already lined up, and their muskets were raised and fired in unison.Rounds of guns passed, and the scouts of the Qing army who rushed forward, as well as the blood mist rising from the chests of the people, and their bodies trembled and fell to the ground.The Ming musketeers and archers at the bridgehead shot one after another, the Ming army equipped with flintlock muskets was very fierce, the guns were round after round, the Qing army on the bridge could not rush at all, they squatted or lay on the pontoon bridge, shooting with arquebuses and bows and arrows, and at this time, Yu Guowang in the rear led dozens of armor soldiers to kill from behind.At this time, the Qing scouts were attacked from both sides, and they were immediately killed and wounded.Wang Jiaping's face was full of hideousness, he looked back and forth, and saw that the whole army was about to be wiped out, and the Qing soldiers were shot to death one after another, and he couldn't help but curse secretly, "It's bad luck!"
”Then, taking advantage of the musket fire, the smoke was filled, and everyone did not pay attention, he rolled his body and got into the water.The battle ended quickly, and nearly 200 Qing scouts were attacked from both sides, and all of them were annihilated on the pontoon bridge, and many of the people caught in the middle were also unlucky and died unjustly.Yu Guowang was holding a bloody war knife in his hand, and he couldn't help but be moved when he saw the bodies of refugees and Qing army scouts covered on the bridge.Businessman Zhou Rong trembled even more, seeing the cruelty of war, his legs couldn't help but shake like chaff.At this time, Yu Guowang looked at the corpses on the bridge, but the ground behind him trembled, and thousands of cavalry saw the beacon fire warning at the bridgehead, and rushed to Gaoqiao Town.The Xicheng defense line is about 100 miles long, and the troops are set up along the line to defend it, and a beacon tower is erected, and behind the defense line, there are guerrilla battalion cavalry to respond, and they immediately rush to the warning to ensure that the defense line is not lost.At this time, Zhao Ming, surrounded by nearly a thousand cavalry, galloped to the bridgehead and reined in the reins of the horse.Zhao Ming saw the corpses all over the ground, frowned slightly, Yu Guowang saw Zhao Ming coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Qi Yu is handsome, the Qinggou striker wanted to seize the pontoon bridge, and was sparsely killed by the last general." ”Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "Let the people cross the river first!"
”There was a fierce battle at the bridge, and the refugees were already frightened and scattered, leaving only a few people still lying on the bridge.At this time, under the greeting of the Ming army, the remaining people rushed across the suspension bridge in panic, and at this moment, on the other side of the canal, the smoke and dust were billowing, and Geng Jimao led fifteen Niulu Eight Banner cavalry, which had already arrived with great momentum.Seeing this, Yu Guowang hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Marshal, the Qing army brigade has arrived, do you want to burn the pontoon bridge immediately." ”Zhao Ming stood proudly on the horse's back, grabbed the reins of the horse with one hand, saw the smoke and dust on the other side, the momentum was quite loud, and he groaned slightly, so he shook his head and said: "After burning the pontoon bridge, the Qing army will inevitably find other places to cross the river and attack from many places, so that the commander is unable to defend himself, it is better to leave the pontoon bridge and let them attack from now on."
Ben Shuai's thousands of elite soldiers, can't he still hold a pontoon bridge?
”"Handsome and wise!"
Yu Guowang couldn't help but clench his fists.Zhao Ming immediately waved his horsewhip, "Arrange!"
”The officers and men of the Jiazi Battalion of the Shence Zhongjun Army, who were stationed on the pontoon bridge, immediately entered the position, moved to resist the horses, and pushed the artillery, preparing to defend against the attack of the Qing army.
