Chapter 873 Finally rescued
The entire formation of Jin Chengyi's Taihu Gang's elite troops was completely broken up. After some soldiers fell into the gunfire, they were hit by several bullets at the same time and fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.
The cavalry was even worse. They were forced into a small area and found it difficult to even turn around, let alone speed up the charge.
"Kill out, fight out for me!" Jin Chengyi shouted loudly, brandishing his sword.
In just one hour, the three thousand elite Taihu Gang Jin Tianlong were completely defeated in front of Feilai's three artillery arrays, with more than half of them dead or injured.
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Felei's mouth. Seeing the Jin family gangsters who were breaking out of the encirclement, he turned to the combat adjutant beside him and said: "Give Ma Desan the order, it's his turn to appear."
Seeing the flag, Ma Desan still had a bitter look on his face. He drew his saber from his waist and shouted angrily to his subordinates:
"Brothers, let's go beat up the drowned dog and rush!"
With that said, he took the lead and rushed out.
Behind them are the cavalry who are waiting impatiently, shouting and rushing to attack, all thinking of competing for military glory.
At the foot of Gusu City, Jin Tianlong and his siege troops were already fighting with Song Xiaoniu's follow-up troops who were charging over.
After enduring fierce artillery fire for several hours, the Taihu Allied Forces were in chaos. Often the soldiers could not find their own companies, and the team officers could not find their own soldiers, and they had no fighting will or order at all.
"Warriors, hold on." Jin Tianlong raised his sword high and howled hysterically. When he was about to lead his personal guards to fight back against the enemy on the opposite side, he stopped suddenly and looked at him with straight eyes.
Not far away.
I saw Jin Chengyi returning in embarrassment with injuries all over his body. When he went out, he took three thousand men and horses with him. At this time, there were only more than fifty horsemen and men who could follow him, and behind him, there were countless people coming in the billowing smoke.
enemy.
"Cheng Yi!" Jin Tianlong exclaimed.
There was an uproar both above and below the city.
The city was in ecstasy. Xiao Xuan, her hair disheveled, looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Brothers, reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements have arrived, kill the enemy, kill the enemy!"
The exhausted soldiers generated strength from nowhere and pounced on the enemy in front of them like tigers descending the mountain.
The leaders of the various gangs in the city were horrified. They saw Jin Chengyi leading the elite gang out, only to see the whole army destroyed and return. They didn't know how many reinforcements came to beat him so badly.
The thunderous sound of horse hooves in the distance and the shouts of killing were getting closer and closer. The Niutou Gang, who were still riding and shooting in the lower reaches of the city, took the lead in beating their horses and fleeing.
Immediately afterwards, came the Feiyu Gang...one after another, the small gangs gathered their own troops and began to flee the battlefield in panic.
Ma Desan was so angry that he came after Jin Chengyi and killed Jin Chengyi's troops along the way.
When his cavalry regiment of more than 1,500 cavalry chased them to the city, the tribal coalition forces below the city were in chaos. Some wanted to come forward to resist, but others had turned back. The entire army had completely lost control, and I couldn't help but feel happy.
He secretly thought: He was taking advantage of someone's serious illness to kill him, so he immediately ordered the entire army to attack.
Ma Desan, a force of more than 1,500 tigers and wolves, was like a sharp knife cutting into tofu, squeaking deeply and piercing through the enemy's formation with ease.
After the cavalry broke out of the enemy's formation, they struck out from the other end with a brilliant side attack.
At this time, Jin Tianlong has completely lost control of the Taihu Allied Forces. Although many gangs are in a large area, they are like headless flies. Before they can form a formation, Ma Desan has already led his team to rush over.
, after a while of chopping melons and vegetables, they killed the coalition forces in pieces.
Jin Tianlong was completely devastated. There was really only one step away from heaven to hell. One day ago, he was very high-spirited and had almost grasped the victory. But in a blink of an eye, his hands were empty and he was beaten to the point where he lost all his money.
"Kill the enemy, kill me!" He shouted subconsciously, his voice was hoarse and his eyes were red like a madman.
Jin Tiancheng realized that his father was a little crazy. He made a prompt decision and said to the guard captain Yuan Tuoqi: "Immediately lead the guards to protect the chief helmsman and retreat to the island. I will take the rear."
"Yes!" Yuan Tuoqi said nothing, mounted Jin Tianlong's horse and retreated.
At this time, there were more than 500 elite cavalrymen beside Jin Chengyi. They were all close servants who had been supported by the Jin family and his son for a long time, and they were all willing to sacrifice their lives for the Jin family.
When Ma Desan charged for the sixth time, he finally met his opponent. Jin Chengyi led his last 500 or so elite cavalry and collided with him head-on.
This was the first time Ma Desan encountered a real cavalry battle.
Fifteen hundred cavalry versus five hundred cavalry, but Ma Desan didn't necessarily have much of an advantage. Thousands of cavalry were huddled together. No matter who you were, you only had time to make a slash and you would be gone by your opponent.
It just flies by and there is no time to look at your results.
Regardless of whether you want it or not, if you are not hacked to death, then congratulations to you and prepare for the second chop immediately. If you are hacked or knocked off your horse, then I can only mourn for you.
Jin Chengyi's brave counterattack bought time for the tribal coalition to retreat. Yuan Tuoqi protected the chief helmsman Jin Tianlong and ran away in panic.
The commander-in-chief's flag raised high is like a lamp in the dark night, guiding the fleeing troops to converge under that flag.
They arrived at Taihu Lake, boarded a docked boat, and fled to their island lair.
Seeing that his father Jin Tianlong and others were out of danger, Jin Chengyi still had the will to fight. The Republican Army's cavalry was three times as many as his. Moreover, when the fighting spirit was high, the troops and horses were strong.
On the other hand, if you look at your own cavalry, the men and horses are all hungry, but they still have the strength to fight.
"Fight out, fight out with me..." Jin Chengyi shouted, taking the lead and charging outward forcefully.
Jin Chengyi's personal martial prowess is really nothing to say. Very few people here can stop him, unless Chen Tianhua is here.
Using him as an arrow, the coalition cavalry counterattacked and managed to break out of Ma Desan's heavy siege and escape.
However, those who followed him, only about a hundred cavalry and more than four hundred men and horses, died under the sabers of Ma De's Third Cavalry.
In the distance, horns sounded and drums rumbled, and the infantry led by Felai lined up neatly. Amidst the shrill whistles of the battalion and company commanders, they appeared one by one in the sight of everyone in Gusu City.
The five-color flag of the Republican Army and the handsome flag with Song characters were flapping in the wind.
The Butcher, who was frightened and starved outside the city, and his remnants finally entered Gusu City. They sat down on the dirt ground, leaning against the city wall, their muscles and bones all weak, and they no longer had any strength.
After three days and three nights of bloody fighting, they did not get a good rest. They were plagued by pain and hunger. At this time, the enemy was gone, Suzhou's capital city was safe, and the bloody courage disappeared completely.
The wounded were carried by the public to various field hospitals. Many of the wounded had bullets that had not been removed and their wounds were suppurating, red and swollen.
