Chapter 173
The confrontation of light infantry was soon over.

The hunters on both sides didn't have time to reload the next step, and the large formations on both sides had already pressed up.

"Low the muzzle! Ready to shoot!"

The generals of the Green Banner Soldiers roared loudly.

The densely packed muzzles pointed forward.

No matter who it is, facing so many muskets will make the scalp numb.

If it was the Ming Army, it would definitely call in the light mortars that moved forward with the army to bombard them at this time.

But Liu Zhixie's old guards didn't seem to see it, they just raised their feet forward without blinking their eyes.

According to the drill code (the old version of the Ming Army drill code).

The best distance to shoot is within twenty paces.

Therefore, according to the military order, those who shoot at this time will be killed without mercy, and the land will be confiscated. The whole family will be driven out of the manor, and the family members will be reduced to slaves.

at such a severe cost.

These loyal soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven will strictly obey orders, without fear of death, and go straight forward.

This indomitable courage caused a lot of commotion among the Green Banner soldiers who fired a round of guns.

Many people's scalps are numb, and they subconsciously turn around and leave.

But at this time, there are dense army formations crowded with people around, and the bayonets of the people behind are against the front, so how can they retreat.

Just bite the bullet.

Filling in a hurry.

After about ten seconds.

Another salvo!
This time, the Heavenly Kingdom Army that was hit was much denser.

But they still didn't shoot.

Instead, he gritted his teeth and continued forward.

until
Fifteen steps away from the enemy!
Fifteen steps, musket salvo!

"Stop! Look to the right!"

"Muzzle level, aim"

Fifteen steps!
This is even closer than the regulations of the Ming army's drill code.

Moreover, the line infantry of the Ming army moved forward under the cover of various curved firepower.

even so.

Twenty steps is almost the limit.

However, these heavenly soldiers can walk fifteen steps away from the enemy!

in history.

The lobster soldiers of the British Empire relied on this trick to eat them all over the world.

Put the enemy as close as possible before focusing fire.

This is the greatest strength of the British Army.

But to do this, it is not easy.

Soldiers are required to advance with their eyes on the enemy's bullets, to endure death and fear, to raise their guns at almost nose-to-nose distance, to aim, to fire, and to charge.

Just thinking about it makes one's scalp tingle.

In history, the British Army relied on this trick to often win battles.

And now.

The soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven are more ruthless than the lobster soldiers. Their courage is unmatched by any army in this world.

They are all landowners with families, mouths and manors.

they know.

They must show courage in such a war, so that their family can continue to live in this chaotic world.

Live better.

"volley!"

Accompanied by a roar.

boom!
There was a sudden thunder.

A neat stream of white smoke appeared in front of the Heavenly King Suwei's formation.

Fifteen paces away.

A neat line of blood appeared in front of the Green Banner soldiers.

All of a sudden, figures stumbling around appeared in the dense queue.

"Brother, brother!"

"Crazy, crazy, they're crazy!"

"They're a bunch of lunatics."

"I can't fight anymore, let's run!"

"Go back to my hometown, I will go back to my hometown in Shandong"

The soldiers and officers of the Green Banner soldiers were stunned at this moment.

Some people were not hit, but they lost their courage and dropped the guns in their hands, holding their heads and yelling to shoot.

Just now.

The second volley of guns rang out again.

Two platoons of guns.

The Green Banner Chinese Army, the Ming-style musketeers that Fukang'an placed high hopes on, collapsed across the board!

at the same time.

The left and right wings of the Celestial Army.

Under the charge led by elite government soldiers, it was also like two heavy hammers.

It smashed into the formation of the Green Banner Soldiers.

The astonishingly imposing army of the kingdom of heaven broke through the blocking net composed of miscellaneous long-range weapons such as guns, blunderbusses, cannons, bows and arrows.

After enduring a wave of huge casualties.

Hand in hand!

It's time for hand-to-hand combat.

Depending on the key to victory in the war, it can only be the courage of the frontline soldiers.

And in this regard.

The army of the kingdom of heaven almost has the advantage of crushing.

But ten minutes.

The left, middle and right armies of the Green Banner Army's infantry were all attacked violently.

The battlefield is crumbling!

Only the [-] reserve troops in the rear were not attacked.

Fukang'an fixed his eyes on the front line.

How could he be so brave?
How could he be so brave? !

Fukang'an couldn't believe it.

Is this still Han Chinese?

When the Han people can be so brave?
Could it be that this cultist really has some kind of brainwashing magic to wash these cultists into lunatics who are not afraid of death?
Fifteen steps.

Almost face to face.

Hold the bullet, walk fifteen steps and shoot.

How can such soldiers be raised?
Are the playboys of the Eight Banners treated well enough?
Make them keep their eyes on the guns?
Don't even think about it.

In fact, Fukang'an's thinking is a bit complicated.

The first generation of Eight Banners soldiers can also do this.

Without him.

The first generation of feudal strong soldiers can only endure hardships.

This is when soldiers fight.

Can bear hardships, not afraid of death.

Strong soldiers will be able to be sent out!
"Marshal! I can't stand it anymore, let the cavalry go up for reinforcements!"

"Marshal, the left wing has collapsed, send troops to reinforce it!"

for a while.

The military officers around Fukang'an were so anxious that their mouths were bubbling.

Fukang'an took a deep breath.

They are going to send [-] pawns to go up, and they must overcome the opponent's attack no matter what.

Then let the cavalry detour to the side to harass, forcing the opponent to retreat.

But his order had just been given.

Liu Zhixie, who saw the chaos in the opponent's three armies, made a decisive decision and pushed out the most elite [-] soldiers and cavalry in his hand!
Tatata!
Earth-shattering, the horse stepped on the joint venture.

at the same time.

The heavenly artillery moved to the side.

The roar of artillery resounded across the battlefield again.

The front was defeated.

The flanking cavalry rushed forward, and the shells swished through the dense crowd, sweeping away all flesh and blood.

The first to completely collapse was the right wing of the Green Banner Army.

Organized resistance was lost under artillery and cavalry attacks.

Start fleeing east.

It was ten o'clock in the evening.

The entire battlefield lost the green flag of organized resistance.

Under the protection of more than 1 cavalry, Fu Kang'an, the commander of the Qing army, fled the battlefield in a hurry, and fled all the way south to the Luohe River, which is only more than 20 miles away from Yiyang City.

The Taiping Army took advantage of the victory to pursue.

Killed all the way to the city of Luoyang.

While soldiers surrounded Luoyang.

Also sent a large army to bypass Luoyang, to Huaiqing Mansion and Ruzhou Mansion to sweep and coerce, break the county town, and coerce the people. Suddenly, Henan was full of flames!

A big gap was torn open in the Qing court's defense of the Central Plains in an instant.

Once under the city of Luoyang.

The army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom marched eastward all the way, broke through Kaifeng, and went north to Zhili, and Bingfeng could directly point to Beijing city!

"Master, come up quickly!"

"Yes, yes, don't catch a cold."

"We still have more than 1 cavalry, and the rout can be gathered quickly. How can we have [-] to [-] cavalry, and there is still a chance to come back!"

"Marshal, Luoyang needs you!"

"That's right, if you don't go to Henan and wait for the bandits to break through Luoyang, everything will really be out of hand."

Central Luo River.

Fukang'an, who is 1.8 meters tall, folded his arms and closed his eyes, standing in the half-meter-deep river.

Say anything and throw yourself into the river.

It is useless to persuade anyone.

A determined look.

And in order to show the sincerity of his suicide.

On the one hand, he wrote an apology to Emperor Qianlong.

The above first talked about his contribution to Ping Taiwan and Ping Da Jinchuan, then he talked about his hard work in the war with Ni Ming, and finally explained why he committed suicide.

It's not because of a broken relationship with his wife, or depression, and it's not because of losing money in business and jumping off a building.

But in this defeat in Henan, more than 3 green flags were buried. I am sorry for the Qing Dynasty, I am sorry for the emperor, and I am sorry for the ancestors.

Had to die and pull.

But Fukang'an is dead.

The crime lies only in his well-being, and has nothing to do with the military commander below.

The green flag military officers who saw this excerpt were beating their chests and feet one by one, crying and crying. They didn't know how this excerpt written for the emperor could be seen by them?

Except for the booklet for the emperor.

Master Fu has also arranged for his own offspring.

Who will inherit this title of his own.

How to arrange for several wives.

Try to make your sons loyal to the emperor, love the country, love the emperor, and love the Qing Dynasty.

In addition, he must ask his younger brother Fu Chang'an to come forward to collect the corpse for him.

The notebook is finished, and the suicide note is also written.

Show it to everyone too.

As a result, Eredengbao snatched Fu Ankang's knife when he came up.

Now Mr. Fu's plan to wipe his neck with the back of the knife came to nothing.

Moreover, the surrounding officers didn't bring knives anymore, but only a scabbard. Mr. Fu wouldn't beat himself to death with the scabbard, right?
No knife.

This master Fu's plan to commit suicide and become benevolent will not come true, right?

Who would have thought.

Master Fu can no longer wipe his neck with the back of the knife.

There is also the trick of jumping into the river.

Just when the army was about to cross the Luohe River and go to Yiyang City for repairs.

Master Fu jumped into the river with a splash.

It was very sudden.

Manchuria's No. [-] Batulu Eledengbao couldn't react.

But the only problem is that the Luo River is too shallow.

Now is not the time for rising water.

The river water hadn't even reached his waist, and he didn't know how to make Mr. Fu commit suicide smoothly.

Are you going to freeze yourself to death?

That was also quite difficult.

It's noon now.

The big sun is right overhead.

It's not easy to freeze to death.

I'm afraid I won't be frozen to death by then.

These green flag officers who came to persuade Marshal Fu to give up the idea of ​​suicide are afraid that they will starve to death.

Just when Marshal Fu crossed his arms and was about to freeze himself to death in the Luo River at noon.

Fucha Mingliang, who came from Kaifeng, came over lying in the water and shouted.

"Third brother, don't pretend to be dead, hurry up! Go to Kaifeng, the big families here in Henan are afraid of the bandits, and they have to contribute money and efforts to help me protect my Qing!"

"Look, my Qing Dynasty is still very popular!"

"Yes, yes, the world of those who win the hearts of the people, the commander-in-chief, hurry up, Henan needs you."

Everyone persuaded again.

Of course the landlords in Henan must love the Qing Dynasty.

Because the king of heaven is here to divide their land!
Fukang'an opened his eyes, and asked: "Since the big clan in Henan has such a heart of patriotism and long-term loyalty to the emperor, this commander's order will be recorded in the account for the time being. When the rebels are defeated, another cup of loess will be served." This remaining life."

"You are handsome and wise."

"Your Majesty has worked hard."

"This courage still needs to be carried by the commander-in-chief."
