Anti-Qing: Starting from the Jintian Uprising

Chapter 58 Sniper and Breakout

After all, no one can complain about having too much credit!

Seeing that the opportunity to make meritorious service was right in front of him, how could Ulan Tai give it up?

Suddenly, Ulantai gritted his teeth and said to his deputy general.

"Pass the order down, let our troops press forward on all fronts, and then pass the order to the supervisory team, let them kill ruthlessly."

"Anyone who is afraid of fighting and hesitates to move forward will be killed!"

Having said that, Ulan Tai's expression changed, and then he said.

"Also, this commander-in-chief wants to go to the front line in person to boost the morale of the army. You go and make the arrangements!"

Ulan Tai was ready to make one last effort and go to the front line in person to secure victory in this battle.

Upon hearing this, the deputy general beside Ulan Tai immediately bowed in agreement.

"Yes! I obey your command!"

Soon the sound of horse hooves was heard, and Ulan Tai led a team of his personal soldiers, Goshaha, and rushed forward, ready to personally supervise the battle at the front line.

Ulan Tai personally went to the front line, and the supervision team began to supervise the battle with ruthless measures, and the Qing army's offensive was obviously intensified.

The Qing soldiers on the front line changed their previous state of hesitation and fear of fighting, and shouted and rushed forward, trying to break up the formation of Li Yi's troops and completely wipe out Li Yi's troops who were isolated and deep in the territory.

Ulan Tai rode on horseback, looking at the scene on the battlefield in front of him with a look of satisfaction on his face.

However, at this moment, Ulan Tai only felt a whooshing sound in his ears.

He subconsciously turned his head and saw that a personal soldier behind him seemed to have been hit by a cannonball. His body was torn into several pieces, and blood and flesh were flying all over the sky.

The warm blood sprayed all over Ulan Tai.

But before he could figure out what was going on, a 12.7-caliber anti-material sniper bullet came and hit Ulan Tai in the chest.

At this moment, Ulan Tai felt as if he was hit head-on by a battering ram weighing thousands of pounds, and he flew backwards from the horse's back.

He immediately lost consciousness!

Before he even landed, Wulantai's entire body was torn into pieces in mid-air...

The surroundings seemed to be washed with blood!
Seeing this scene, Ulan Tai's personal soldiers couldn't help but keep silent, and then they started swearing.

Where is the Dutong?
How can I be a governor when I am so old?

How come it became a mess in the blink of an eye?
Damn it! !
Although Ulan Tai said that he would personally lead his soldiers to the front line to supervise the battle, in reality he did not go that far.

He was at least three or four hundred meters away from the front line where the two sides were fighting!

Logically speaking, this distance should be absolutely safe.

But what no one expected was that Ulan Tai disappeared in the blink of an eye.

What the hell is going on with this horse?!

However, soon these personal soldiers of Ulan Tai no longer bothered to find out how Ulan Tai died.

Because the battlefield soon became a mess.

When Ulan Tai was sniped from a distance, many Qing soldiers noticed this scene.

In an instant, the Qing army fell into panic.

Especially the Qing troops who were fighting against Li Yi's troops on the front line. They had finally regained their strength, but after discovering that Wulan Tai was dead, they instantly became weak again...

Li Yi saw the scene of Ulan Tai being shot through the scope, immediately put away the sniper rifle, and then cheered.

"Soldiers, the Qingyao commander is dead!"

"Follow me to break through and kill!"

Li Yi took advantage of the opportunity when the Qing army's main general was sniped and killed, leaving all the troops in disarray and personally led his troops to break out to the north.

After losing unified command, these Qing troops were like tender tofu just out of the pot, and they were easily pierced.

Even without Li Yi's troops taking action, they began to disintegrate on a large scale.

"Kill!"

"Kill the clear demon!"

“Break through, break through!” “…”

……

At the same time, the situation on the main battlefield also changed drastically.

As the main force of the Taiping Army broke out westward, they prepared to return to Jintian.

The Qing army began to hunt down and intercept his troops.

Xiang Rong led his army from south to north, Li Nengchen led his army from west to east, and Zhou Tianjue led his army from north to south. The Qing army was approaching, preparing to encircle the Taiping Army on three sides.

The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly.

As soon as the two sides engaged in battle, Li Nengchen's troops, who were responsible for blocking the enemy, were defeated by a wave of troops led by Xiao Chaogui, and the Taiping Army successfully opened up a channel to retreat westward.

Of course, the reason why Li Nengchen was defeated so quickly was not because his troops were weaker than Ulantai's troops.

It was because Li Nengchen's troops came on a sudden attack and had no time to set up a camp at all.

As a result, they were defeated by a wave of troops led by Xiao Chaogui.

But Ulantai had a camp to rely on. Even if they were defeated in the field battle, they could retreat into the camp and hold out until reinforcements arrived.

Otherwise, the passage to the east might have been opened by the Taiping Army!

Seeing that Li Nengchen's troops were defeated, Xiang Rong and Zhou Tianjue could only order to speed up the pursuit and were not prepared to let the Taiping Army go easily.

Even if we cannot completely wipe out the main force of the Taiping Rebellion in this battle, we will at least inflict a heavy blow on them.

But it was precisely because Zhou Tianjue's troops were going westward to pursue the main force of the Taiping Army that a passage to escape to the north was opened up for Li Yi.

……

After Ulan Tai was sniped and killed, his Qing army fell into chaos.

The morale of Li Yi's troops was instantly boosted, and under the charge led by Li Yi himself, they successfully broke out of the Qing army's camp.

Afterwards, Li Yi led his men directly northward and fled to Zijing Mountain.

The defeat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in this battle was a foregone conclusion. Next, the Qing army would certainly launch an all-out attack to suppress the main force of the Taiping Army that fled westward. If Li Yiru did not want to run into the guns of the Qing army, going into the mountains to avoid the limelight was his best option now.

Li Yi led the team all the way north and escaped into the Zijing Mountain area.

In order to get rid of possible pursuers, Li Yi and his group just focused on running without any rest.

Not knowing how long he had been running, Li Yi reached out to hold onto a tree that was so big that one person could hug it to rest. He looked up subconsciously, only to see that the sky had completely darkened.

Look at the crescent moon hanging high in the night sky and the stars all over the sky.

Li Yi said while panting.

"Stop, stop, don't run!"

"It's time to shake off the pursuers!"

"Everyone stop, everyone stop and rest!"

After taking a breath, Li Yi turned around and gave instructions.

"Officers at all levels should immediately start counting the number of people and calculating the casualties of each unit of our army, and then report to me as soon as possible without any mistakes."

Since the successful breakout, Li Yi's troops have been running northward in a panic.

During this process, many people fled.

Plus the casualties on the battlefield.

Li Yi didn't know how many people he had left under his command.

It would definitely not work if you don’t take a clear look.

Wang An, Li Sheng, Chen Yucheng and others nodded, and then went down to count the war damage.

Li Yi sat on the trunk of a big tree to rest, looked up at the sky, and thought absentmindedly about what to do next.
