After Jiangxin Island in Northern Xinzhou was captured by the Taiping army, the Qingguazhou water camp was forced to shrink in the port, and was no longer able to compete with the Taiping army for control of the Yangtze River.

After the looming worries of Jiangbei Qing army crossing the river, Zhou Shixiang decided to solve the Jiangnan Qing army and completely recover Jiangnan. He made a plan to fight Liang Huafeng first, then allegiance.

Zhou Shixiang personally led the Iron Man Guard, commanding a brigade of the sixth town, the third town and more than 3,000 troops from Nanjing to attack Changzhou from the direction of Danyang in Zhenjiang. The direction launched an offensive, after capturing Yixing and Wujin, and then joined the main force under the city of Changzhou.

After receiving the news of the Taiping army's massive invasion, Liang Huafeng did not choose to stick to Changzhou, because he knew that Guan Zhongzhong in Suzhou would not be able to save him. After negotiating with Ese Hei, he led his troops to the Benniu River, the main road from Zhenjiang to Changzhou, to take the initiative to fight, while Ese Hei insisted on Changzhou.

Liang Huafeng couldn't take care of the Taiping army attacking from Liyang. His only chance now was to defeat the Taiping army from Zhenjiang. In this way, he might lead the army back to help when the Liyang Taiping army came to Changzhou.

In addition to the 4,000 main force of the Han army that Liang Huafeng brought to Benniu River, there were more than 3,000 young men from Changzhou who were forcibly recruited. The Qing army went all the way to Latin, and when they arrived at the Running Bull River, there were more than 10,000 horses.

Liang Huafeng took the first step. He ordered his subordinates to demolish the stone bridge on the Benniu River, and divided his troops to guard the two ferry crossings upstream and downstream, trying to block the Taiping army in the west of the river.

After the sixth town of the Taiping Army arrived, the town general, Suna, observed the Qing army camp on the opposite bank, and ordered to immediately cut wood and weave it into a raft to force the crossing. Because there are not many trees nearby, in order not to affect the army crossing the river, the Taiping Army demolished hundreds of houses of common people living by the river just to get the wood on the beams of common people. This move made thousands of people homeless. voiced.

After Zhou Shixiang arrived, he immediately ordered people to place these homeless people in Lucheng Town. Later, Zhenjiang Prefecture allocated special funds to rebuild the houses for these people. Frozen and starving in the cold wind.

The Sixth Town was organized into hundreds of rafts, each of which could carry eight to ten people. Suna ordered a forced crossing, and the deputy general Eduo, a Manchurian, personally led the troops across the river.

After discovering that the Taiping army was forced to cross, Liang Huafeng immediately commanded the Qing army to stop it. The Taiping troops on the raft were all wearing double armor and large shields. The Qing army lacked long-range artillery, and it was difficult to prevent the Taiping army from crossing. In the end, after paying dozens of casualties, the Eduo tribe crossed the Benniu River, and then fought with the Qing army who came up. Relying on a large number of thunderbolts, the Eduo Department dispersed the Qing army and occupied an open space on the east bank of the Benniu River.

At the same time, the second batch of Taiping troops crossing the river had reached the middle of the river. Liang Huafeng knew that the Taiping army could not pass more people, so he personally led the 800 Han cavalry under his command to charge the Taiping army on the river beach. Eduo led his troops to fight back desperately. The sound of gunshots and explosions was incessant, and they blocked the two attacks of the Qing army's cavalry, which surprised Liang Huafeng, because the elite iron armored soldiers of the Zheng army could not survive his attack. After a while, it collapsed. Not only did the Taiping army not collapse, but instead, he repelled him twice, which made him frown, realizing that he might not have the possibility of defeating the Taiping army at all.

The sixth town is composed of the Qing army of the original Chaozhou Wu Liuqi and the captured militia young men, and it is not one of the four old Taiping towns. Initially, the town's combat effectiveness was relatively low, but no matter how weak the soldiers and horses, after traveling thousands of miles to fight, they also became strong soldiers. When it was in Hunan, the sixth town was even more famous for its brutality. When the town was stationed in Jingzhou, there were countless murders. Under the guidance of the slogan of "kill all, grab all and burn all", the town produced countless tragedies. Its town general Wang Tai ( Sunahan name) can make children stop crying. Afterwards, they traveled from Guangdong all the way north to Jiangxi, and went thousands of miles to Nanjing. The weaker soldiers would not appear in front of the Qing army at this moment. The first batch of people who crossed the river were even more elite soldiers, and it was only natural for Liang Huafeng to hit a nail.

The two storms lost hundreds of cavalry, and Liang Huafeng did not dare to push harder. He ordered his cavalry to try to harass the Taiping army. When approaching the range of Taiping guns and bows and arrows, he suddenly hit the horse and turned around, trying to deplete the Taiping army. medicine seeds and arrow branches.

I never thought that the Taiping Army was not only brave, but also had strict military discipline. Without an order from an officer, the soldiers did not fire a single shot, did not shoot an arrow, and would not throw the powerful thunderbolt at will. After two times, not only Liang Huafeng was discouraged, but the Qing cavalry was even more discouraged, because no matter how fierce they were, the Taiping army just ignored them. If they dared to advance a little, they would immediately be called by guns.

"Sir, you can't fight like this. If you do this again, your horsepower will be exhausted!"

Liang Huafeng shook his head, knowing that he couldn't go on like this. In sight, the second batch of Taiping troops who crossed the river had already landed, which made the number of Taiping troops crossing the river more than a thousand people, and it was impossible for the Qing army to destroy them.

Liang Huafeng shook his head, and the Qing army even shook his head.

On the West Bank, the Taiping Army is still organizing to cross the river with great fanfare. As soon as the raft came back from the other side, Taiping soldiers who were lined up immediately rushed onto the raft and behaved in an orderly manner without any confusion. The red military flag waving in the wind in the middle of the river and on both sides of the river.

I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the former Northern Xinzhou Qing troops who rocked the rafts showed their diligence one by one.

Today, I'm afraid I can't stop them!

The morale of the Qing army had already been wiped out, and even Liang Huafeng himself did not have the will to fight the Taiping army, and he had already given up his intention to retreat.

Liang Huafeng wanted to go, but Zhou Shixiang would not let him go. The banner of attack was launched, and the sixth town on the opposite bank immediately turned from the defensive to the offensive~www.NovelMTL.com~ The Taiping army roared and rushed straight to the Qing army, and the two armies fought **** together. The Taiping army crossing the river jumped off the raft before it reached the shore, and waded knee-high in the river water and rushed to the shore. The Taiping Army's offensive was like a tidal wave, slapping forward one after another, without giving the opponent a chance to breathe!

Liang Huafeng couldn't withdraw. If he withdraws at this moment, he would be defeated, and the tens of thousands of people he brought with him would probably be the same as the few hundred cavalry that would return to Changzhou with him.

"kill!"

Liang Huafeng gritted his teeth to meet him, took out the courage to attack Zheng Jun that day out of the city, and charged forward on his horse. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the two sides fought and fought, and the lives of the people disappeared.

After more than an hour, the battlefield fell silent.

The Qing army was defeated, and Liang Huafeng ran away.

On the beach, the **** smell was so thick that even the wind could not blow it away. The corpses were piled up one after another, and the Qing troops kneeling on the ground were one after another.
