Anti-Qing: Starting from the Jintian Uprising

Chapter 34: Feng Shui takes turns (seeking for further reading)
But also because it was dark, the light was dim and the visibility was unclear, so although the Qing army was firing, their hit rate was pitifully low.

The followers of the God Worshipping Society shouted loudly and charged towards the Qing army despite the Qing army's gunfire.

Soon, the two sides began to engage in close combat.

The fighting instantly became intense!

……

On the right bank of the Caicun River, Zhou Fengqi was discussing matters of returning to support Xunzhou with other generals in his tent.

He was startled by a sudden loud bang outside.

Zhou Fengqi led his men out of the tent to investigate and looked in the direction where the explosion came from.

I saw that the bridge on the Caicun River had been reduced to powder in the explosion, and burning wood chips were floating on the surface of the river.

On the other side of the river, there was a large area of ​​flickering lights from densely packed torches.

Countless members of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were holding torches and surrounding and killing the vanguard of the Qing army that was crossing the river!
These Qing army vanguards, trapped in a tight encirclement and cut off from their retreat, were like a lone boat in the raging waves in front of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom camp.

In a precarious situation!

It is possible to be completely swallowed up at any time!

Zhou Fengqi's face was full of shock and helplessness.

Originally, he sent Iktambu to cross the river to serve as a vanguard for the army, so that he could support the main force of the army to cross the river and then attack Jintian.

But what he didn't expect was that the bandits actually raided Xunzhou City.

In order to recover Xunzhou as soon as possible, Zhou Fengqi had to temporarily abandon the plan to attack Jintian, let Iktanbu withdraw to the right bank of Caicun River, and then return to support Xunzhou.

But what he did not expect was that just after he gave the order to withdraw troops to Iktambu, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom bandits, who had been frightened by the defeat, actually took the initiative to attack Iktambu.

They even blew up the Caicun River Bridge, cutting off Iktanbu's troops' retreat route in an attempt to annihilate them on the left bank of the Caicun River.

Zhou Fengqi took a deep breath and then said.

"Order the entire army to advance to the bank of the Caicun River and prepare to reinforce Iktambu and help his troops cross the river."

Although we know that the situation in Xunzhou City is urgent, we must return to provide assistance as soon as possible.

However, Zhou Fengqi still decided to first pick up Iktanbu and return to the right bank of Caicun River to join the main force of the army, and then talk about returning to support Xunzhou.

The reason is simple, because most of the vanguards led by Iktanbu are Zhou Fengqi's elite troops.

Once these elite troops of the town flag are eaten up, Guizhou Town will suffer serious damage.

The consequences of this are much more serious than Xunzhou being temporarily occupied by bandits!

However, before Zhou Fengqi had time to make any move, Hu Yihuang led his troops to launch a feint attack on Xinwei.

Trying to prevent Zhou Fengqi's troops from reinforcing and supporting Iktanbu!
The two sides were engaged in a fierce fight!

……

On the left bank of Caicun River.

After the two sides engaged in battle, Iktambu only led his troops to support for a short while before he began to retreat under the siege of the God Worshipping Society's superior forces.

Iktanbu fell off his horse and, guarded by several Goshahas, retreated towards Caicunjiang.

The defeated Qing army retreated all the way to the banks of Caicun River.

At night, the river was pitch black and the cold winter wind made people shiver.

But as the crowd became more and more, Qing soldiers kept slipping and falling into the freezing cold river water, struggling in the water.

"Help...help!"

"Save me, save me quickly..."

During the day today, the Qing army was still chasing and killing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's regiment, forcing them to jump into the river to save their lives.

Unexpectedly, the situation changed and within less than a day, it was the Qing army's turn to jump into the river to save their lives.

Seeing that some Qing soldiers fell into the water, the navy led by Luo Dagang rowed their boats up and attacked the Qing soldiers floating on the river from a high position.

Soon, the river was filled with corpses again.

However, this time the corpses were all from the Qing army.

In the chaos, Iktambu was also pushed into the water.

The cotton armor on his body became wet and instantly became heavy, pressing him to the bottom of the river. Iktambu frantically tried to untie the cotton armor on his body, but he couldn't do it in his panic.

Soon, the river water flooded over his neck and covered his mouth and nose.

The freezing cold river water rushed into my mouth, nose and lungs, and I felt suffocated instantly.

Iktambu didn't bother to take off his cotton armor. He stretched out his hand to float in the water, trying to get his head out of the water.

But after being soaked in water, the cotton armor on his body became as heavy as a piece of iron, and his struggle was completely in vain.

Iktambu continued to sink to the bottom of the river.

Just when he was about to despair, suddenly, a pair of big hands grabbed his arms that were stretched out on the river surface, and pulled him up by his arms.

Soon, Iktambu was pulled out of the water.

Just as he emerged from the water and before he had time to open his eyes, Iktambu felt a chill on his neck, followed by a dizzying sensation.

Luo Dagang shouted loudly, holding up a head with despair still lingering on its face.

"The Qing Demon leader is dead. Surrender and you won't be killed!"

Beside him, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom soldiers shouted in unison.

"The Qing Demon leader is dead. Surrender and you won't be killed!"

"The Qing Demon leader is dead. Surrender and you won't be killed!"

"..."

Soon, shouts echoed throughout the battlefield.

Seeing this, the Qing troops crossing the river on the left bank of Caicun River fell into complete despair.

They were trapped in a tight encirclement, their way back was cut off, and now even their main general had been killed!

A feeling of despair spread in everyone's heart.

As the first person dropped his weapon and knelt down to surrender, the trend of surrender spread rapidly among the Qing army like a plague...

Seeing this, the followers of the God Worshipping Society could not help but cheer.

"Long live! Long live!"

"Long live the Father, long live the Master!"

"Kill the Qing monsters and we will have peace. Kill the Qing monsters and we will have peace!"

"..."

……

After fighting for a long time, Zhou Fengqi finally led his troops to successfully break through Hu Yihuang's blockade and arrived at the bank of Caicun River, ready to help Iktanbu cross the river.

As a result, when he looked up, he saw Iktambu killed in the battle and his troops surrendering in droves.

At this moment, Zhou Fengqi felt as if his eyes were about to burst.

The pain in his heart almost made him unable to breathe!

He was not only saddened by the death of Iktambu, but more importantly, by the elite troops of the town who were left behind on the other side of the river.

Zhou Fengqi really wanted to curse after hundreds of the town's elite soldiers were killed by the bandits in one go!

But what has happened cannot be undone.

Zhou Fengqi could only give orders.

"Pass the order down, the army will withdraw, don't worry about Iktambu, and immediately return to Xunzhou to provide assistance!"

Iktanbu was dead, and the Qing troops on the other side of the river began to surrender in droves. There was no point in Zhou Fengqi persisting.

Therefore, he immediately decided to bring people back to Xunzhou to provide assistance!
As Zhou Fengqi's order was issued, the Qing army began to retreat gradually.

Looking at the situation on the battlefield, the only thing that made Zhou Fengqi feel fortunate was that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom bandits did not pursue him when his side retreated.

Otherwise, it would not be easy for them to withdraw from the battlefield!

The reason for this is not that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom does not want to expand the results of the war as much as possible, but that the situation does not allow it.
