The Qing Dynasty is about to end

Chapter 49: What a Su Sanniang! (Brothers, I want to read it again. Don’t wait, start reading it!)
As an old rival of the Qing army, Su Sanniang knew the "smoke power" of the Qing army's Green Camp soldiers very well!

The key to this battle in Etang today is twofold. First, use yourself as bait to lure out those Qing Yao Green Camp soldiers who only know how to bully the weak! Second, block their "smoke power" - if these double-gun soldiers really get enough of it, they can still hold out for a while.

That's why Su Sanniang took advantage of the moment when the Qing demon double-gun soldiers were enjoying themselves and organized her sharpshooters to use brown bass foreign rifles and "hundred-step bullets" to attack the militia that was "covering the heavenly soldiers smoking foreign cigarettes", in order to force Yu Wanqing to send out the double-gun soldiers who were halfway through their addiction.

If the addiction is not satisfied, it will naturally not last long.

As long as Su Sanniang can command the female soldiers to hold out for a while, and then retreat back to Etang Town, she can trick these guys who haven't satisfied their addiction into fighting, and then think of a way to satisfy their addiction.
But at this moment, the double-gun soldier, who has already gotten halfway through his addiction, is still quite powerful and should not be underestimated.

"Cuihua!" Su Sanniang shouted to Li Cuihua beside her, "Hurry up and ride back to Etang Town to report to the angel. Tell him that the Qing demon has come. Tell him to be ready!"

"Yes!"

Li Cuihua agreed, immediately threw the musket in her hand to a female soldier, jumped off the donkey cart, and ran towards her warhorse.

Su Sanniang also threw the musket in her hand to a female musketeer, and also got off the cart and mounted her horse. However, she did not retreat. Instead, she rode her horse to the back of the female soldier who had set up her musket behind the fortifications made of donkey carts, wooden boxes, and bags, and shouted loudly: "Sisters, don't shoot. Listen to my command and let the Qing monsters come closer and shoot!

Sisters, don’t be afraid. We have the Heavenly Father, the Heavenly King, and the angels. Are you afraid that we can’t defeat the Qing demons? God is with us! "

Following Su Sanniang's shout, more than a hundred female musketeers on the battlefield had already taken their positions. Each of them showed a fearless look, tightly gripping the musket in their hands, and pointing the black muzzle at the crazy Qing demon.

Beside each female musketeer, there is a female soldier holding a spear. They all have a determined look on their faces and exude the power of faith from head to toe!
Dozens of female cavalrymen formed two rows behind Su Sanniang, each holding a spear, ready to launch a charge!
This time it’s about faith and foreign cigarettes!

It happened so quickly that in the blink of an eye, more than a thousand Qing demon sword and spear soldiers who were half full of foreign cigarettes had pushed more than a hundred Huang family militiamen to within fifty steps of the Heavenly Kingdom female soldiers' formation!

At this distance, a shotgun using ordinary bullets is already quite accurate, and the more than one hundred female musketeers arranged by Su Sanniang are equipped with "hundred-step bullets". Can they be used to shoot heads at a hundred steps? What about fifty steps?
In addition, some of the best female musketeers were holding brown bass rifles that they had stolen from the Huang family mansion. These were fine industrial products made in India! When loaded with "hundred-step bullets", they could really kill people at a hundred steps!

"Beat him! Beat him! Beat him hard!" Su Sanniang screamed at the top of her lungs.

Before her shouting faded away, the female musketeers had already pulled the triggers and shouted "May God bless us, Father God!"

After firing a shot, the female soldiers stood up collectively and began to reload their bullets very skillfully while standing.

From Yu Wanqing's position, he could see a few spots of muzzle flash on the Taiping Army's position. There were not many of them, only about a hundred or so.

“That’s all.” Yu Wanqing had only said half of his words when an angry expression appeared on his old face. “He’s just playing dead!”

It turned out that when these more than one hundred "Hundred-Step Bullets" swept across the Qing army's charging team, the militia and Qing soldiers rushing in the front were actually cut down in large numbers like rice being mowed down!

Someone must be pretending to be dead!
When Yu Wanqing saw this scene, he was so angry that his nose was crooked.

How could he shoot accurately from 50 or 60 steps away? How could a musket be so accurate? The foreign muskets of the Englishmen he encountered in Guangdong were not that powerful!

This person must have fallen to the ground out of fear of death. These soldiers are so unreasonable!
"Beat the drums! Advance!" Yu Wanqing was so angry that he immediately ordered the drummer beside him to beat the drums to urge the troops to advance. He also personally led Goshaha to push towards the front line again.

The Qing troops on the front line probably thought that their knocked-down comrades were pretending to be dead, so their momentum of advancement was only slightly slowed. After hearing the drumbeats, they shouted slogans such as "Rob the money! Robbing the women!" and rushed forward in large numbers - after all, the smoke from these Qing demons had not yet worn off!

At the same time, the musketeers on the Qing demon side also began to fire from a distance - Yu Wanqing only sent out about 1,500 "foreign tobacco soldiers" this time, under the command of the Central Army Lieutenant General Wu Shibin, there were still a few hundred musketeers left scattered on both sides firing, and he himself led dozens of mounted Goshaha to supervise the battle.

"Hit us! Hit us hard! God bless us."

Su Sanniang's shout rang out again behind the more than one hundred female musketeers who had already stood up!

These female soldiers were obviously the most determined fighters of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. They truly believed in the existence of Heavenly Father, Heavenly Brother, Heaven, and angels.

So when faced with the influx of demons and the occasional bullets, they were able to calmly complete the reloading, raise their muskets and flintlock rifles, aim at the enemy, and fire a fatal bullet.

By the time they launched the third wave of volleys, the enemy had already rushed to within less than twenty steps of them!
The power of this attack is almost doubled compared to the previous one!
The previous two rounds of volleys together knocked down fifty or sixty people, and this wave of volleys knocked down more than seventy people! In front of the Qingyao team, there were dead and wounded soldiers lying all over the place!

If it weren't for the smoke, if it weren't for the boost in enemy morale brought by the Heavenly Kingdom female soldiers, the Qing army, which had suffered more than a hundred casualties, would have been routed.

But now happened to be the time when the Qing army's smoke was the strongest, and the female soldiers were about to be caught.

Therefore, this group of Qing troops, which suffered heavy losses, did not retreat, but rushed towards the female soldiers' positions with greater momentum.

"The musketeers, please retreat back to Etang Town first!
Infantry, go first! Kill the demons and go to heaven! "

Su Sanniang had naturally anticipated the Qing army's "smoke power", and she had already prepared a corresponding plan.

Just as the musketeers were firing, the seven or eight hundred strong female soldiers led by He Damei had already formed a charge formation together with the female spearmen who had covered the musketeers.

After giving the order, Su Sanniang turned her horse around to meet up with the female cavalrymen lined up behind her, and prepared to lead them in a horse charge!
"Kill the Qing monsters and go to heaven!"

Following a shout from a female voice with a Guangxi accent, nearly a thousand Guangxi Hakka big-footed female soldiers launched a hand-to-hand charge shoulder to shoulder!
The Qing army across from them paused when they saw this scene, and everyone unconsciously slowed down their pace - after all, hand-to-hand combat required a lot of courage.
Fortunately, their smoke was still strong and their opponents were all women, so more than half of the Qingyao Green Camp soldiers and militiamen mustered up the courage to meet the enemy. With a series of "puff puff" sounds of sharp weapons piercing into human bodies and a series of shrill screams, the two teams charging face to face collided with each other.

The Taiping Army's female sisters were certainly at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength, especially explosive power, but they had firm beliefs and were well-trained. Even after a round of clashes with the enemy, they could still maintain a shoulder-to-shoulder formation - if a sister in the front row fell, the sister behind could immediately fill in without any hesitation.

The Qing soldiers were in chaos. Some of them were still heavy smokers, and when they saw that the other side was full of young female soldiers, they rushed over with a roar. Some of them were less smokers, and when they smelled the blood and heard the screams of their comrades, they became a little scared and began to charge forward "marking on the spot".

As a result, their team was in chaos.

And what Su Sanniang has been waiting for is now!

Su Sanniang pointed the spear in her hand forward and shouted, "Kill the Qing monsters and charge to heaven!"

After shouting this, Su Sanniang raised her spear and drove her horse, leading the cavalry team to quickly bypass the two armies fighting in front, and go around the left wing of the Qing army. She first dispersed the Green Camp musketeers who were firing indiscriminately, and then launched a round of cavalry assault on the flank and rear of the Qing army's hand-to-hand combat soldiers who were already in chaos!
"Good for you, Su Sanniang."

Seeing Su Sanniang leading the female cavalry to charge towards the left wing of his own Green Camp soldiers, his old face turned black with anger. He was an old soldier who had fought in battles all his life. If he was defeated by Su Sanniang, a female bandit, and two or three female soldiers, how could he face people in the future?

Thinking of this, the old man finally mustered up his courage, drew out his saber and pointed it forward, "My men, follow me and capture Su Sanniang alive!"

"twitter!"

Dozens of Goshaha cavalrymen under Yu Wanqing shouted together, raised their carbines, and followed Old Man Yu to charge towards Su Sanniang's female cavalry!
In fact, Su Sanniang had been carefully keeping an eye on Yu Wanqing's Gosha. She certainly knew that her female cavalry was no match for them. In fact, if Yu Wanqing had sent out these dozens of elite cavalry earlier to attack together with those infantrymen who were full of foreign cigarettes, Su Sanniang's battle to lure the enemy would have been in a mess.

However, based on her understanding of the Qing army generals, the evil leader who dared to charge with Goshaha at the very beginning probably only existed in the legends of the older generation of the Tiandihui.

Although she knew she couldn't beat Yu Wanqing's Geshaha, Su Sanniang didn't run away with her sisters immediately. Instead, she put away her saber, pulled out a loaded flintlock pistol, and rushed towards Yu Wanqing and his men. Dozens of cavalry sisters under her command were also equipped with pistols. At this time, they also pulled out their pistols and followed Su Sanniang to rush towards Yu Wanqing's Geshaha.

"bang bang bang"

As a burst of gunfire rang out, three or four of Yu Wanqing's men, Goshaha, were arrested!

Although the loss was not large, it gave Mr. Yu a fright!
This Su Sanniang is too cruel, playing with horse-riding musketeers, we can't let her off. If we can subdue her, she will be very useful, both inside and outside the house! In the future, "rebellion" will be more certain.

Thinking of this, the old man's scalp hardened, and he pointed the saber in his hand at Su Sanniang: "Children, follow me to capture Su Sanniang alive!"

"twitter!"

As for Su Sanniang, when she saw the old man Yu Wanqing and his cavalry coming towards her, she did not dare to fight. She turned her horse around and fled westward with her men - not to the north to Etang Town, but to the west, fleeing around Etang.

Yu Wanqing led his men to closely follow Su Sanniang and her female cavalrymen, chasing them all the way.
