    "Three thousand, but only three thousand. Do we have no one in our Eight Banners?"

    Prince Gong was considered young and vigorous among the Manchu and Mongolian nobles. He shouted loudly: "A mere three thousand thieves and cavalry actually regard my thirty thousand army as nothing, coming and going freely. How can I see the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty?"  ah!"

    When thinking of the outstanding achievements of their ancestors, these Manchu and Mongolian nobles do not know how to deal with themselves. They have been at ease for more than a hundred years. Even when they put down the White Lotus Rebellion in the five provinces, the Eight Banners soldiers could only wave the flag and shout, let alone the recent decades.  Years of battles depended entirely on Yongying.

    Now even the brave camp could not hold up. No matter how vigorous the Eight Banners were, they could not withstand the enemy's offensive. Therefore, some people loudly cried out for the injustice of the soldiers on the front line: "The enemy has three thousand elite cavalry and countless foreign guns and cannons."  , Eight Banners athletes are fighting to the death and never retreat, it is already rare!"

    Speaking of which, this is indeed the last bit of the setting sun for the Eight Banners soldiers. Although the cavalry from the opposite side suddenly roared and the hail of bullets never stopped from the beginning, these Eight Banners soldiers have an unimaginable perseverance. Every time their phalanx  After being rushed, blasted, and beaten, he quickly retreated but regrouped.

    It's just that Prince Gong was very dissatisfied with such a record: "No, absolutely not. Do I, the Eight Banners athletes, only have this ability? I have 30,000 elites!"

    This Qing army can be said to be the essence of the entire Forbidden Eight Banners and Han army. However, they relied on the Marco Polo Bridge to hold on, but they were always in a passive position, watching their phalanx cross over again and again, and then reorganize.

    "Are there no people in our Eight Banners?" Prince Gong roared loudly on his horse: "I am Aisin Gioro. I may die here today, but I hope you generals can stay with me until sunset!"

    "Hold on until sunset!"

    Many Eight Banners generals couldn't help but burst into tears. When did the Eight Banners' powerful army fall to this point? With ten times the number of troops, they resisted 3,000 enemy cavalry, and the battle lasted until sunset as a victory.

    But over the years, they have learned how to eat, play, whore, gamble, listen, read, and sing.  If you still know how to play the role of free son, you won¡¯t know how to lead troops in battle. Now you don¡¯t know what to do when you are in battle!

    But the Mongolians who were very brave and brave galloped out. He shouted loudly in front of the formation: "Your Highness has an order. Fight until sunset, and no one is allowed to take a step back! Kill!"

    He waved a yellow flag vigorously, which inspired the remaining bravery and aggressiveness of the Eight Banners soldiers: "Don't retreat even one step, behind us is our Forbidden City!"

    "No retreat!"

    There were even some cavalry in the formation rushing towards the opposite side, and the two sides passed each other. These sporadic cavalry did not take much advantage in the collision, and the knights who landed were like dumplings.  Prince Gong, who had seen the war for a long time, couldn't help but take out his handkerchief and sob: "The national destiny of the Qing Dynasty is so unbearable!"

    He saw it kindly. In the clash of cavalry just now, he lost at least forty cavalry, but his opponent lost less than fifteen cavalry. However, thanks to this collision, the enemy's cavalry was like a tide of cavalry.  The coordinated offensive was only blocked once.

    "Damn it!"

    Ren Zhu shouted loudly: "Tell the 10th Cavalry Regiment to rush forward, the 10th Cavalry Regiment!"

    His military strength was smaller than Prince Gong imagined.  Only more than 1,300 troops arrived on the battlefield today, with even fewer horses and only four cannons.  Fortunately, several Qing artillery pieces were later captured. The advantage of the entire battle was entirely due to the cavalry's experience, proficiency in combat, and equipment advantages.

    But so far in the attack, two hundred cavalry and infantrymen have been lost, and a lot of horses have been lost. Even the remaining horses have almost used up their horsepower, so he had to pull up the last elite unit: "  Old Liu, I leave everything to you!"

    "The 10th Cavalry Regiment!"

    Liu Cangbin, the deputy commander of the 10th Cavalry Regiment and the supreme commander of the 10th Regiment present, had already led all the troops of the 10th Regiment out.

    There are a total of two hundred and twenty cavalry. When more than two hundred cavalry form a battle formation.  This is a mighty super formation. Liu Cangbin glanced at the opposite position. It was a dense enemy formation. There were yellow square formations one after another. He couldn¡¯t count them. He didn¡¯t know how many enemy troops there were.  .

    There are at least 20,000 people, right?

    I only have two hundred horses.  But Liu Cangbin had no intention of retreating. He shouted loudly: "For the emperor!"

    "For the emperor!"

    Two hundred cavalrymen all drew their sharp sabers, and the sharp light of the sabers formed an endless murderous intent on the battlefield. They loudly shouted the most proud definition of the Hongjun cavalry: "We are the sword of the army, the blade of the army!"

    Liu Cangbin felt that the blood all over his body was boiling, and he swung his saber.?, the whole person pulled the horse's head, and the war horse began to trot: "Stab them through!"

    The cavalry roared like a tide, and the hoofbeats of the war horses shook the earth. They did not use any tricks or charge in waves. The two hundred and twenty cavalry just roared and rushed up, waving their sabers: "Stab over."  !¡±

    "Stab it over!"

    The entire cavalry was like a galloping black mountain, already charging towards the Qing army's formation. When many Eight Banners soldiers saw this scene for the first time, they dropped their weapons and fled towards the rear, and more  The movements of the Qing soldiers were deformed. They did not know how to control their firearms, and their hands and feet were numb as they looked at the mountains of cavalry on the opposite side.

    At this moment, even the Manchu and Mongolian nobles at the rear took a breath of air-conditioning. Prince Gong firmly grasped the reins of the horse and said calmly: "I finally know why Emperor Taizu raised an army with thirteen armors and swept across the country.  The world is over, this"

    He took a long breath and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the white-armored soldier!"

    "kill!"

    Liu Cangbin¡¯s cavalry has already surged up, facing a cloud of white smoke and flying bullets and artillery shells, but he simply ignored these obstacles. He only had one concept: "We are the sword of the army!"

    ¡°Stab them through!¡±

    Under the impact of dozens of Hong Army cavalry, these Eight Banners soldiers could barely maintain their courage. However, the roar of more than two hundred cavalry gave these Eight Banners soldiers a serious psychological shadow. They did not know how to describe themselves.  Psychological feelings.

    Their ancestors were once unstoppable heavy cavalry and heavy infantry, even to the point where they were still moving forward bravely even with dozens of arrows in their bodies. However, at this time, there was infinite terror in their hearts, and more Eight Banners soldiers abandoned them.  Even if the supervising team behind him cuts off a lot of heads one after another, he will not be afraid of his own responsibilities.

    Compared to the supervising team, these dark clouds are truly terrifying. However, the ones running faster than the Eight Banners soldiers are the Han troops on both wings. They have both the Han Army and the Eight Banners, as well as some recruited Han people. Compared with them,  As for the Eight Banners soldiers, they had absolutely no responsibility or obligation to defend their homeland, so at first they fled in dozens and dozens, and later they even marched down in groups by the hundreds.

    "Bang!"

    The black mountains and the yellow tide quickly collided together, followed by an endless tide of blood. The war horses screamed, the steel knife was chopped on the skull, and the white smoke fired by the muskets. Both sides paid a heavy price at this moment, one after another.  The corpses were piled up so much that no one had anywhere to go.

    "Dismount! Attack!"

    Liu Cangbin saw a dense crowd on the opposite side, and his horse was already trying to avoid the crowd uncontrollably. He almost flew down immediately: "The 10th Cavalry Regiment, for the emperor!"

    "Manchuria! Manchuria!"

    The white-handed battle between the two sides lasted for several minutes. At this time, Ren Zhu had already led the last brigade team directly to kill: "Go!"

    It's just that the formation of the Qing army was too thick. When he joined Liu Cangbin's 10th Cavalry Regiment, only half of the 220 cavalry were left, and almost half of the soldiers were defeated, but any  Zhu could still feel a sense of relief: "Fight up, we've arrived at another platoon!"

    For the 1,300 troops participating in the battle, the strength of a platoon is extremely precious. The officers and soldiers of the 10th Regiment, who were already a little tired from the killing, immediately regained their courage: "For the emperor!"

    Prince Gong, who was standing on the Marco Polo Bridge, had already seen an avalanche scene. Eight Banners soldiers were everywhere. The supervising team on the Marco Polo Bridge beheaded dozens of heads at once. However, these defeated soldiers were the prodigal sons of Beijing, but they were not.  The brave soldiers, in desperation, have turned their targets to these supervising teams: "Anyway, they will die, why not go home and die with their wives and children!"

    The supervising team collapsed in an instant. The entire Qing army surged across the Marco Polo Bridge like a tide, and Prince Gong, who was on the bridge to supervise the battle, was swept across the bridge. There were still countless people who wanted to rush across the bridge, and in  Behind them were more and more attacks from the Hong Army.

    In fact, up to now, the Fourth Cavalry Brigade has exhausted all its strength. Although they are still pursuing, the horses can no longer run. The only ones who can run fast are those brave soldiers, who are covered in bloodstains and  The wounds were caused by bayonets, bayonets, or pistols pointed at the Marco Polo Bridge.

    Many Qing soldiers had already ran directly into the river, and more people were trampled to death on the bridge. Then there was a five-minute white-handed battle on the bridge. Ren Zhu, who was stepping on the pile of corpses, patted Liu Cangbin on the shoulder.  Said: "I can't catch up!"

    "I can't catch up anymore!" Liu Cangbin answered him: "We have reached the limit, we must take a night's rest!"

    "But weA miracle has been created!  Ren Zhu replied to him: "I hope the main force of your regiment can arrive soon. There are at least 150 riders left!"  "

    This is already the strongest support that the 10th Cavalry Brigade can receive in a short period of time. After a whole day of fighting, less than half of the 1,400 participating troops are left, and as many as 100,000 wounded have been accommodated.  Four hundred men, almost as many as died in battle.

    But they captured Marco Polo Bridge.  (To be continued)
