Under the decisive impact of Xiang Yong and E Yong, at the cost of 10,000 sacrifices, Cheng Xucai, the governor of Huguang, and others finally broke through the defense line of the Heavenly Army and gained a temporary respite.

Now, all the remnants of the defeated army have come to a small village, with a somewhat poetic name, Mayan.

However, everyone's current mood is very unpoetic, regardless of whether it is an old master who has learned five cars, or a soldier who doesn't know a single word.

This battle, starting from the battle of crossing the river, through the battle of Shuangdui assembly, the defensive battle of Suxian, and the breakthrough just now, has not once gained the upper hand!

Each time it was painstaking, with heavy casualties, and finally ended in a fiasco.

Defensive ground was repeatedly lost, and hundreds of thousands of troops were eaten away, faster than the snow in winter melted in the summer sun.

Not to mention that the strongholds with two prominent wings of the split river and double stacking were occupied by the heavenly army one after another, and Suxian, the central defense area, also fell to the enemy.

The situation was so difficult, Cheng Xucai called several major leaders together to discuss the matter, and everyone worked together to tide over the difficulties.

"Ladies and gentlemen, these battles have completely failed, and I will bear the main responsibility, so let's not say more; the top priority now is what we will do next! Let's talk about what we have left, what will we do next! Time is urgent, and the Heavenly Army doesn't know when, and it will follow up, so the patriarch will make a short story, you must act in ten minutes, otherwise you will wait for death!" Cheng Xucai started succinctly.

"I'll talk about Eyong. Hu Linyi was the first to speak, because after they escaped from the failed double stack, there was basically nothing to do, and their living force was basically wiped out in that strangulation battle.

According to Hu Linyi's statistics, E Yong's 42 army lost 400,000 in this battle, and there are still 20,000.

When he built yì, he did not go to join the emperor's army. Instead, in the middle of the two blockade lines of the Heavenly Army, looking for a gap, sneaked back to Hubei Province.

The reason is that their little bit of talent is tantamount to a drop in the bucket for the entire battle.

And if they can return to their hometown, they can pass on the torch as a seed. Raise up the resistance of the heavenly army there and form a very strong force.

He revealed that the total number of training warriors in Hubei Province has reached one million, and 400,000 were used in this war, and there are 600,000!

But they are all scattered all over the place, and if they don't go back and organize them well, no matter how many of them are, they will disappear and not work.

Therefore. With this here, take that dead end, it's better to try to go back, and it is possible to make a big difference.

"How do I go back?" asked Cheng Yucai.

"I think I have to go it alone, my 20,000 people here are separated from the rest of the people to find the best route, which cannot be determined in advance. Hu Linyi replied.

"I'll also talk about Xiang Yong's situation. Zeng Guofan felt that he had to say that he was alive.

"Xiangyong is slightly better than Eyong, and there are more than 40,000 people. "Of course, the number of Zeng Guofan's troops is very important. But what pleased him the most was that his main brothers and generals were all fine.

There is also a heavy dà message. is the arrival of Taqib, who can secretly answer him, and he has not reported this situation to Cheng Yucai.

Especially after he made up his mind to return to Hunan Province, he wouldn't say anything, that was his life-saving hole card.

"I agree with Germy. I will return to Hunan Province and continue to organize Xiang Yong to deal with the Heavenly Army. Zeng Guofan made his opinion clear.

Seeing that this was already the case, Cheng Zhicai knew that it was useless to say more, so he immediately made a decision: "Okay! Let's go our separate ways, old man, I still have to be loyal to the emperor, so I wish you two a smooth journey!"

Zeng Guofan also said: "If the number of Xiangyong increases, I will allocate 10,000 for the governor to drive!"

Hu Linyi said: "My Eyong has a small number, so let's allocate 5,000!" Seeing that Zeng Guofan took the lead, Hu Linyi also had to endure the pain of cutting his flesh.

Although his 5,000 numbers are small, they are really nerve-wracking.

"Thank you, two Gaoyi!" Cheng Yucai was still quite moved in his heart, at this time, only soldiers can die!

"I'll laugh at the 10,000 for Disheng, and as for the 5,000 for Zhensheng, you still keep it for yourself, you don't have many soldiers in the first place. ”

Cheng Yucai knew in his heart that if he really wanted to let the Heavenly Army target him, the five thousand soldiers would have no effect.

As for helping the emperor, it doesn't make much sense, it's better to leave it to Hu Linyi and bring it back to Hubei Province, which will definitely play a greater role.

Thus, the decision to divide the troops and flee was determined.

Subsequently, the three people immediately took action.

The governor of Huguang continued northward to find the emperor.

Hu Linyi turned his head to the west, looking for a suitable route home.

Zeng Guofan led his 50,000 Xiangyong to turn around and head southeast, to rendezvous with Taqib.

Although the enemy's strategy of splitting up and fleeing did not attract Mai Ke's attention, because his attention was now shifted to the next battle, it did not escape the eyes of the relevant departments of the Celestial Army.

This relevant department is the beggar gang disciple of the world.

Xiangyong, including the entire Hunan Province, has always been the focus of the beggar gang, which was determined when the beggars won the gang together with Mai Ke.

Therefore, after the 40,000 disciples of the beggar gang completed the battle of the Victory Avenue, they followed the remnants of Huguang who fled under the dispatch of the people of the world.

Their soldiers were divided into three ways, thinking that they were doing something unaware, but they did not know that they had been under the surveillance of the beggars.

Seeing that the enemy was divided into three routes, the people of the world, in addition to immediately informing Mai Ke, immediately followed the largest group, which was also the main center of work of the beggar gang, until they joined up with Tazib.

As for Cheng Chucai and Hu Linyi, he doesn't have to worry about it.

Cheng Yucai continued to wander around the encirclement, but in the end, he still couldn't escape the palm of the Heavenly Army, so there was no need to care about him.

Hu Linyi was taken over by Wu Renxiao's forces.

There are now 40,000 beggar gang disciples gathered together in the world, and many more are scattered all over the place.

They usually live at the bottom of society, and are the least noticeable group of people, but since joining the Heavenly Army, although they are still the same on the surface, they have been fundamentally different in substance.

Not only have they all been adapted into Heavenly Army warriors, but their entire quality of life has also changed dramatically.

The biggest thing is that they no longer rely on begging for a living, but have a supply system for the heavenly army, ensuring that they have no shortage of food, food and clothing.

They are already the subjects of the kingdom of heaven, and just to complete the task of overthrowing the Manchus and establishing the kingdom of heaven, they temporarily disguise themselves as disciples of the beggars to deceive the enemy.

Compared with these Xiang Yong who came from afar, the biggest advantage of the beggar gang disciples is that they are familiar with the terrain!

They don't have any other occupations to worry about anyway, they just hang here and there every day, so they are very familiar with the terrain of urban and rural roads.

And where there is wind and grass, you will never escape their eyes!

Therefore, the hiding place of Taqib, who thought it was absolutely secret, was discovered by the beggars and reported to the people of the world after he left.

And the people of the world also know that if these Xiangyong, who have survived a hundred battles, succeed in returning to Hunan, everyone will become the backbone of Xiangyong, and they may intensify their butcher's knife to kill the soldiers of the Heavenly Army.

So he made up his mind that he must leave these remnants on the way home!

As a result, the beggar gang disciples who were hundreds of miles around all gathered and laid layers of nets on the expected return of Xiangyong to his hometown.

When Xiang Yong's intelligence system focused on the regular Heavenly Army, he didn't expect that those waves of peasants were the real killers who killed them!

Now that we know where the enemy is gathering, and we know the enemy's receiving troops, and we know that the two teams must meet, is it still difficult to discover the enemy's way of marching?

Of course, this is difficult for the beggars of professional intelligence organizations whose intelligence ability is second only to Wu Renxiao.

Therefore, they concluded that the remnants of Xiangyong must have passed through a small village named Mei'anzi.

So, the beggars mobilized the army of beggars to set up a pocket where they were waiting for Xiang Yong to drill in.

As a result, Xiang Yong, who didn't notice anything wrong, went straight in.

With the ability to fight alone, the three beggar gang disciples are not a Xiangyong opponent.

Therefore, compared with 50,000 Xiangyong, the 100,000 beggar gang disciples are definitely inferior.

However, will the disciples of the Beggar Gang honestly compete with them in a serious manner?

Don't even think about it!

Each of these beggars shows the incomparable wisdom of the extraordinary grassroots!

A Xiang Yong, with his five big and three thick, and infinite strength, took the sledgehammer and blasted towards a weak beggar disciple, but the hammer was raised high and before it fell, a small bag flew out from the opponent and hit between the eyebrows of the big man!

"Bang!" the packet exploded, and it turned out to be chili powder!

Not only chili powder, but also the world's hottest pepper!

Suddenly, a piercing pain came from his eyes!

What made the big man even more distracted was that his eyes were completely blind!

The raised sledgehammer usually falls to the ground!

A terrible scream resounded in the sky!

Eye pain above, foot pain below!

This scream began, and thousands of screams on the entire battlefield were remembered at the same time, so that the latter rose and fell, becoming more and more lively!

The entire battle of 150,000 people is opening up at the same time, and it is difficult not to be lively.

These beggars and disciples each showed their best skills, and that was the competition for beauty, and there were no surprises!

Think about it, too, although this beggar gang lives at the bottom, they also have to live, right?

Therefore, even a trivial small technology has become their way to make a living, and they have become extremely proficient!

And now these skills, for them, are just a change of application objects, from various items, to these Xiangyong!

Among them, there is a family who passed on the craft of plowing pigs, and at that time he hated skillfully, catching pigs and plowing pigs in one go!

Today, he committed another occupational disease, and he arrested two Xiangyong in a row and also cut them down.

He didn't mean to do this, he only had this skill skilled, so he naturally used it.

Watching him dance the pig knife in his hand and look at himself enthusiastically, more than a dozen Xiang Yong around him shouted like a ghost and fled in all directions!.
