&nbThe Qing army's artillery fired.

&nb The direct troops of Guoan of the Line were originally the Han army under the Dingnan vassal, and the Han army under the Dingnan vassal was the best unit in the entire Qing army, and the number of cannons and muskets equipped far exceeded that of the Jingnan vassal, Pingnan vassal. When Guoan led his troops into Guizhou, he seized a large number of firearms from the Ming army of Sun Kewang, making the Line became the most powerful unit among the Qing army in the southwest. It was precisely because of the strong firearms that the Ministry of Guoan of the Line had defeated the Ming army with elephant soldiers and advanced from Guizhou to Kunming.

&nb This time, Guoan, led his army back to Guangxi under the order of Duni, and the number of artillery carried actually exceeded that of the Taiping Army's artillery town stationed in Liuzhou. However, in the previous battle, Guoan, did not fully demonstrate his strength, so that the Taiping Army was not clear about his true foundation in front of him. Just like in Dushanzhou, Guoan, first confusing the 11th town of the Taiping Army to show weakness, and then when he was slacking off the 11th town, he accidentally punched it out, resulting in almost the entire 11th town being wiped out.

&nb Similarly, the patience of the Line Guoan was used in the Liuzhou war. Even though he was eager to break Liuzhou City, he still tried to test, consume and attacked the Taiping Army little by little in order to capture the best fighter and seize the high ground in the north of Liuzhou City at the most powerful time. The various disastrous manifestations of the Qing army before were just the second time of the Line Guoan's weakness. In order to make the Ming army believe that it could not conquer Xiaobeishan, he wanted to withdraw his troops but could not withdraw. He was in a dilemma, and the Line Guoan even ordered people to reveal the news to some Green Camp soldiers. The Green Camp soldiers who knew the "actual situation" of the Qing army would be sent to attack the Ming army the next day, and the Ming army knew the difficulties of the Line Guoan from the captives.

&nbIn fact, from the beginning, the straight Guoan had no intention of attacking Liuzhou, because he knew better than anyone else that Liuzhou was difficult to conquer, because he had personally directed the attack on Liuzhou. Liuzhou City, surrounded by rivers on three sides and a navy can mobile troops and grain transport, has never been the target that the straight Guoan wanted to win, but his goal was Guilin. If the whole army went north to attack Guilin, he had to take down the highland north of Liuzhou City.

&nbThe importance of Xiaobei Mountain is not only the northern gateway of Liuzhou, but more importantly, it is that it has occupied this place. The Qing army can completely lock the Ming army in Liuzhou City in the city. Only when the Ming army in Liuzhou is trapped can the straight Guoan advance north without worry. Although the fifth town where the Taiping Army has been operating on the outside is not weak, the straight Guoan believes that if he strives to advance to Guilin with all his might, the fifth town with thousands of troops will never be able to withstand it.

&nb Since the war started, the straight Guoan army has been continuously driven by surrendered troops to attack the Taiping Army's positions, which made the Taiping Army think that the Qing army was fighting desperately. In addition, the false information obtained from the prisoners, the Guangxi Governor Shao Jiugong couldn't help but be optimistic, believing that the straight Guoan was just like this.

&nb As the commander-in-chief of the governor, Shao Jiugong's optimistic attitude naturally infected the Taiping Army soldiers stationed in Xiaobeishan. The fourth town A Brigade and Cannon Town were somewhat contemptuous of the Qing army, believing that these Han troops and the Green Camp were ultimately inferior to the Manzhou Tartars. They were just guys who were harsh and weak on the outside. They had no means to defeat the enemy except to drive the people to act as cannon fodder. If they really had the ability, they would not be able to touch the walls of Liuzhou for more than ten days.

&nb The Taiping Army, who had this idea, was naturally surprised when they heard the sudden sound of cannons in the Qing army. What was surprised was not that the Qing army had so many cannons, but before that, the other party had been hiding the cannons in the army without showing up.

&nb Line Guoan's artillery manipulators were all veterans of the Han army under Dingnan Fan. The officers were all stayed in the new army established by Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai. After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, they participated in almost all the large-scale wars of the Ming and Qing wars. In the Battle of Songshan, the Qing army was able to quickly occupy Bijiashan, where the Ming army's food route was located, and this artillery played an irreplaceable role. During the Yipianshi War, although the Manzhou soldiers and Wu Sangui's Guanning and the Break Army fought head-on, if the Sanshun King's artillery did not plunder the formation in the rear and seized the infantry of the rebel army, the result of the battle was difficult to say.

&nbAfter the Qing army's artillery fired, the elite troops of the line Guoan headquarters, who had been on standby, rushed towards Xiaobeishan together with more than 10,000 surrendered troops. The Qing army archers and gunners, who were originally mixed with the hundreds of streams of land, also began to attack the Taiping Army after the fortifications.

&nb The trenches have been filled with most of them, and the rest no longer need to be filled, because people can go directly through the pile of corpses and mud. The Qing army advanced across the army to make the surviving people excited. They thought that the next battle would no longer require them and that they could save their lives. However, when they were about to run back with the excitement and excitement of escaping from death, the Qing cavalry behind forced them to continue rushing towards the Taiping Army defense line on the opposite mountain with their sabers.

&nb There was no room for negotiation and no time for hesitation. Zhao Xing gritted the bullet and rushed towards the Taiping Army's defense line with the crowd. Zhao Xing had to rush, because those who were unwilling to rush were cut off by the Qing soldiers. He didn't want to become a headless corpse himself. He wanted to return to his hometown alive. He also wanted to bring his younger sister back alive. The Qing soldiers promised that as long as the Ming army was broken, women could be put back. Both parents and brothers were dead. Zhao Xing had only one relative in this world. Although he was afraid of death, if possible, he would still take his younger sister home.

&nb In order to survive, or to be able to take his daughter, the people who returned home, rushed across the trench and rushed towards the Taiping Army's defense line under the re-force of the Qing soldiers.

&nb电子, the guns kept flying beside them. Zhao Xing saw with his own eyes a fellow villager in front of him smashed his head off by the Ming army's cannon, and his headless body still ran forward for more than ten steps before he fell to the ground. That look was really terrifying.

&nbThe Ming army obviously discovered the Qing army's large-scale attack. Their cannons were too fierce and their guns were hit even more densely. The result was naturally that the people who acted as cannon fodder fell down one by one, like the wind blowing rice waves.

&nb Despair and panic spread, the shouting louder, and no one was more rational. Zhao Xing rushed forward numbly in the crowd. He jumped into the trench barefoot and crawled out of the trench. When he pulled his feet out, he felt his feet being pulled down, and it felt like a water ghost suddenly pulled his feet from under while swimming in the river.

&nb crawled and rolled out of the trench. Zhao Xing was soaked all over, his upper body was sweating and his lower body was urine. He screamed "ahhh", not knowing what he called, but he picked up a wooden stick in his hand from somewhere and rushed forward.

&nbThe Han people who rushed to the front all had hideous faces, with mud, blood, or sweat on their faces. They seemed to have endless strength and ran very quickly. They saw the obstacles set by the Ming army in front, saw the circles of iron wires and bamboo guns, and the defense lines set up by the fence. There were many cold caltrops hanging on the wires.

&nb "Ah, my feet!"

&nb Suddenly, the people in front suddenly screamed, and many people were jumping around with their feet in their arms. Zhao Xing could see clearly that the ground ahead was full of caltrops, and it was sprinkled everywhere, making people have nowhere to stay. In some areas, there were no caltrops, but the ground was densely packed with sharpened bamboo stakes and iron nails. It was so dense that it made people frightened to see it.

&nbMore and more people were stabbed and nailed there. The pain finally made them wake up a little. They wanted to look back, but the crowd behind pushed them forward like a wall.

&nbThe fallen people became the "stepstones" of their companions behind and the Qing army. Zhao Xing also fell down. His body was less than ten steps away from the Ming army fence in front. But he could no longer get close. His right hand clenched his fist and looked at the fence tightly. He clearly saw a red military cap behind the fence.

&nbAre I dead like this? Am I going to die like my parents, brothers and others?

&nb Zhao Xing looked at the Ming Jun in despair in despair. His body was constantly being trampled by the people behind him. Every time he stepped on it, his body would hurt a little. He couldn't move anymore because his body was nailed tightly by countless iron nails and bamboo stakes. What was the posture when he fell down, and what was the posture now.

&nb Countless Qing soldiers shouted and rushed up the hillside with the passage paved with the lives of the people.

&nb "Boom!"
