The Taiping Army's cavalry launched an attack on the Qing army's probing horses. They did not wear any armor on their bodies, but only held a long sword and rushed to the Manzhou probing horses with long swords.

Shao Chengguo rushed in front, his eyes wide open. He rode his horse out of the smoke and cut off the head of a Manzhou soldier who was shot by an iron nail in his abdomen with a knife.

At the same time, various teams that came forward from the Taiping Army also rushed to the Manzhou probing horses. The shouts of killing came from all parts of the area, which alarmed the Qing army brigade. They stood on the horse, looking at the shouts of killing in front of them, and everyone looked solemn.

The Qing army's horse provocation priests were all Hahamu's personal soldiers. Many of them were veterans in their forties. All of them were strong men, much stronger than the young Manzhou soldiers behind them. Each of them had a bow in their hands and three or four bags of arrows hung on both sides of the saddle. Faced with the sudden attack of the Taiping Army, they quickly stabilized their positions after panic, which made the Taiping Army not have much advantage.

...

At dawn, the fog was everywhere on both sides of the Huangsha River. In the morning fog, teams of Taiping Army stepped on the shore from the boat. After getting ashore, the Taiping Army battalions appeared in the morning fog, spreading their momentum and controlling the east bank of the Huangsha River. A few miles away from Shenwan, a group of Taiping Army teams were carefully exploring the terrain.

The water of the Huangsha River did not stop there, but continued to flow downward. All the morning mists around it were faintly visible and there was no sound. The people of the villages and towns near the Sanxiang had already evacuated, and the sky above Shenwan was even quieter, with only a few startled birds flying out suddenly. The empty mudflats were waiting for the upcoming battle and swallowing countless lives.

Ge Yi tied his belt hard and jumped ashore to shout at Zhou Shixiang on the boat: "Scholar, brother, I'm going, brother, I have no son. If I die, we will give all of our brothers to the scholar."

"I'm not greedy for your share. After this battle, I will give you the share of your brothers immediately." Zhou Shixiang on the boat shook his head at Ge Yi.

Ge Yi thought about it and grinned: "Okay, if I didn't die, I wouldn't be in a hurry to repay that. My brother has to give it to me first. You have sold your life with the scholar for so long, and you have no credit and hard work. You should enjoy it."

"become."

Zhou Shixiang agreed cheerfully.

Ge Yi laughed, clasped his fists at Zhou Shi, waved his hand, and disappeared into the morning mist with Jiang Fan.

Seeing Ge Yi disappear in the morning mist, Zhou Shixiang, who thought he was mentally prepared, suddenly felt that his heart was still irritating.

Life and death have been ignored since the day parents, wife and children die tragically.

Life and death, knowing that it is no longer important to come to this era.

Life and death, it is not something he cares about when he decides to be a real man. What he cares about is whether he can succeed.

Whether it can be successful depends on this battle!

This is the real decisive battle!

The decisive battle that determines the fate of the Taiping Army and also determines the fate of Guangdong.

The war is coming soon!

Zhou Shixiang's blood was burning, and he felt that his whole body was very hot.

"Let's go, let's leave it to Ge Yi and Tieyi. Let's drive the boat, blind man, let's go to Shenwan!"

"Why!"

The blind Li responded heavily and carried the hammer that he never left his body to the stern of the boat.

………

The left camp of the infantry and the right camp of the infantry were 6,000 soldiers lined up along the east bank of the Huangsha River. The right camp of the infantry had already fought with the Qing army's vanguard.

The fog was too strong, and the rainy weather for several days, and the gun barrels and convey ropes were affected by moisture, which caused many muskets to fail to start. In addition, the terrain of the east coast was narrow and the fog was large, so the gun teams in the right battalion of the infantry army could not be fully deployed, so they failed to cause much damage to the Qing army. The left battalion of the infantry army also fought with the Qing army, but the fight between the two sides was tentative. In the morning fog, both Ming and Qing sides maintained enough caution.

But the morning mist was more beneficial to the Qing army. The Manzhou cavalry who came out of the fog from time to time caught the Taiping army off guard several times. The left camp of the infantry and the right camp of the infantry were slowly retreating. Although they were about to retreat, the feeling of being suppressed by the enemy was not good. Ge Yi was furious and wanted to lead his troops to rush forward and fight the Tartars several times, but was hugged by Jiang Fan, reminding him to put the overall situation first.

In the fog, the military flags and orders could not be recognized. The Taiping Army could only rely on the sound of suona, which was rapid and shrill in people's ears.

Hahamu commanded the Qing army to advance step by step. Although the situation reported by Galai Daoga in front showed that his side had the upper hand and the Taiping army was being suppressed and retreated, Hahamu still frowned. He didn't know how many Taiping army was opposite, but it was just a small group of soldiers and horses to attack, or the thief scholar came to the main force. If it were the former, Hahamu was not worried at all, so he would drive away; if it was the latter, he would have to admire the courage of the thief scholar, and at the same time he had to deal with it solemnly.

Information shows that the main force of the Taiping Army is no less than 10,000, and Manzhou Erlang, who has less than 2,000 in his hands, cannot exert his cavalry advantage, and if he wants to defeat the Taiping Army with several times more troops than him, hahamu dare not be entrusted.

"Go and ask the green camps behind to follow you, and you must not lose any way behind!"

On the stakes, Hahamu sent people to urge the Guangzhou Green Camp that fell behind and Li Rutai's governor to meet with the Manzhou soldiers immediately without giving the Taiping Army any opportunity to take advantage of. He was worried that the thief scholar's intention was to use a small number of soldiers to restrain the Manzhou soldiers who could fight the most. In addition, he also sent the main force to attack the Green Camp behind, cut off his retreat, so that he could not rescue the Green Camp in time. If he were him, he would have adopted this strategy, after all, the Eight Banners soldiers in Manzhou were not easy to fight.

The contact between the two sides continued, with each other casualties. Overall, the Manchu cavalry still had the upper hand, and the Taiping Army fought and retreated. Galaidaoga suppressed the rhythm to avoid being dragged too deep by the Taiping Army.

After about half an hour of touching, the sun finally rose. At the moment when the sunlight shone down, everyone on both sides of the Ming and Qing dynasties felt a warm feeling coming from their bodies, and the feeling in their hearts.

The sun was getting stronger and stronger, and the light breeze blew, blowing away the thick fog that enveloped both sides of the Huangsha River. After the morning mist faded, teams of Qing soldiers emerged everywhere on the east bank of the Huangsha River.

After the morning mist completely dissipated, Hahamu knew that there were no less than thousands of Taiping Army blocking him. He judged that the main troops of the Taiping Army were on the other side. Their leader, the thief scholar, was sure to be among them. He set up such a large formation, obviously trying to decide the outcome with him Hahamu.

The thief scholar threatened to defeat the Eight Banners of Manzhou to intimidate the Monk Zhixin of Geng Jimao. Hahamu laughed. He admired the courage of the thief scholar and recognized the correctness of his bet, because the facts were likely to be as he expected. Once the Eight Banners of Manzhou were destroyed in the middle, Geng Jimao on the left and Shang Zhixin on the right would indeed retreat without a fight.

Unfortunately, the thief scholar looked up to him.

Hahamu calmly ordered the horses to scatter and investigate the surrounding terrain, so that Galaidaoga could seize the advantageous terrain, and must annihilate the Taiping Army on the east bank of the Huangsha River and never allow them to escape to the west bank.

On a high slope, the Manzhou horses discovered a very wide terrain located three miles behind the left side of the Taiping Army array, which was very suitable for cavalry movement.

Upon hearing the news, Hahamu also rode his horse over to inspect it himself, and then issued an offensive order.

"Turn the Taiping gang over!"

Under the command of Galaidaoga, three Manzhou cavalrymen of Niulu launched an attack on the Taiping Army scattered on the east coast, hoping to force the other party to the empty mudflat.
