When Taqib came to support in every possible way, the Celestial Army was attacking Xiang Yong, who was stationed in Li Yuan in Suxian, and the commander of the army here was Zeng Guohua, the sixth brother of Zeng Guofan.

Zeng Guohua's main assistant was Wang Ju in Wen and Li Xubin in Wu.

Because Zeng Guofan knew that there was no problem with the loyalty of the sixth brother, but the civil and martial arts were only at an average level.

What's even more worrying is that although he is mediocre, he still has the common problems of ordinary people: no one in his eyes, arrogance.

Therefore, Zeng Guofan pinned his hopes on Wang Zhu, the tall foot of Luo Zenan.

Wang Ju is indeed full of wits and scheming, and can help Zeng Guohua in this regard.

It's a pity that he is sometimes too smart, so he lacks a sense of the overall situation, and sometimes he will even be wise enough to protect himself, resulting in the delay of the fighter.

Li Xubin fought very bravely and was one of the best generals in the Hunan army.

However, such talents can only play a role when there are no mistakes in strategic decision-making and campaign arrangement.

When fighting for the road to victory just now, if he followed his idea, he advocated going all out, the whole army going up, charging with all his strength, and cutting off the connection with the heavenly army in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that Zeng Guohua and Wang Ju have no one to support him.

The responsibility for making this decision not to support is mainly on Wang Zhu, and if he insists, Zeng Guohua will definitely listen to him.

At the age of fourteen, he brushed words on the wall of his home: "Standing on the surface of all things, looking down on a qiē, it is rational to be self-evident and self-sufficient." ”

Wang Ju has no one in his eyes, and he can know a thing or two from his own initiative to recruit Xiang Yong.

He went against Zeng Guofan's request when recruiting Xiang Yong in his hometown.

Zeng Guofan ordered him to recruit "no more than three battalions" and wrote to him what his concerns were, saying that "I am afraid that in two months there will be no pay to pay."

Wang Zhu didn't listen, and recruited more than 3,000 recruits from the six battalions, but fortunately, Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Hunan, gave 10,000 taels of silver as a salary for the training of recruits. to get through the difficulties.

However, this has already caused great dissatisfaction with Zeng Guofan.

Zeng Guofan thought that Wang Zhu was "a person who was too interested in fame and fortune".

Although Zeng Guohua was arrogant, he still respected and obeyed Zeng Guofan, and once asked him for advice on how to lead the army.

Tsang also passed on his knowledge and experience to him.

Generally speaking, it is the method of bringing courage and taking the observation of talents as the first. Rectifying the camp rules and stressing war defense is still secondary. The way to win, some people boil down to the use of strong ships and cannons, in fact, in the people and not in the weapon.

The lesson he summed up was that it was not about adding more swords, guns and horses, but about carefully selecting the sentry officers and commanders.

That is, with the right people, and good horses and guns, you can gradually add them.

Instead, choose the sentry officer and the sentry chief. Mainly in the solid work, there is loyalty and blood.

Secondly, he can endure hardships, give strict orders, and be resourceful.

In particular, solid work is the most important.

Solid, that is, sincere, simple and steady, this is the first meaning.

As for calculating the distance and the surplus of grain and grass. Regardless of one's own strength or weakness, it is the second righteousness.

This is the relationship between virtue and talent.

It is best to have both ability and political integrity!

If you can't have both. It is better to use people who are low and virtuous, than to use people who are high and virtuous.

But virtuous people are rare, and they can't be unavailable.

Therefore, at this time, the selection of people should not be too ambitious.

Talent comes out on reward.

All medium talents are encouraged. It can be expected to become a great tool.

If you blindly denigrate and use it, you will slowly fall into decay.

There are two key points to dealing with subordinates: Yang is good at the public court, and the rules are more than the private room.

But these are good methods, but they work well. The key to being single-minded lies in the flexible grasp in practice, and these things are helpful to Zeng Guohua, but if you really want to use them perfectly, it will not be a day's work.

Maybe over time, Zeng Guohua will improve greatly in these aspects, but today, both he and the Xiangyong he led have reached the critical point of life and death.

In the Li Yuan camp, there were 40,000 Xiangyong, including 10,000 recruited by Wang Ju before and after.

At present, the specific division of troops is that Li Xubin led 20,000 men to defend the north and take care of the east.

Wang Zhu led 10,000 men and another 10,000 men to defend the south and take care of the west.

Zeng Guohua was in the middle of the dispatch, and he had two thousand troops as his subordinates, which were also equipped by Zeng Guofan.

Attacking this large camp were two armies of the Celestial Army, totaling 60,000 troops.

It was Commander Wang Tianqi who attacked from the south, and Commander Li Chunlin who attacked from the north.

In addition to these two armies, at least one corps of the Celestial Army that had already captured Xili Garden was also there ready to support at any time.

With Mai Ke's order, the two armies of the north and south attacked at the same time!

Now the Celestial Army has a lot of experience in fighting this kind of barracks with almost no walls!

They have summed up one of the most effective ways, which is to press the realm with a large army!

Therefore, two divisions were sent from each of the two armies and a group charge was launched!

Suddenly, the four directions of Li Yuan's barracks were full of black and oppressive crowds, like a big water, spreading towards Li Yuan!

The strange thing is that none of the 40,000 people made a sound, only the majestic sound of 80,000 feet on the ground!

Li Xubin was upset when he heard the footsteps, and led his old battalion men and horses to rush out, who is afraid of whom!

The foundation of this old battalion is the first battalion of Luo Zenan when Changsha built a large regiment, which is the elite division of Xiangyong, and all of them immediately gushed out, and good steel is used on the blade!

He saw the posture of the Heavenly Army, and he went up to the Heavenly Army's mind, and he wanted to attack and promise in one fell swoop!

At this time, if you fight steadily and are attacked by the heavenly army into the camp, you will be restrained and beaten passively, and your strengths will not be displayed, and you will end in a fiasco!

It was Army Commander Li Chunlin who attacked from the north, and he was the best at fighting hard battles and vicious battles, which is why he was placed here, just to deal with Li Xubin!

At the moment, the two Li meet, each for its own master, two guns at the same time!

The 10,000 soldiers led by Li Chunlin were all pikemen, with black iron spears in their hands raised horizontally, and when they saw that the main general was about to fight, they said at the same time: "Kill!"

The black iron spear is like a forest, piercing Xiangyong with the sound of the wind!

These Xiangyong are all veterans and have a lot of combat experience. Until this time, he couldn't retreat, knowing that he might be poked to death by the spear of the Heavenly Army, he was also resolute, took a step forward, and shouted in his mouth: "Kill!"

The said iron spear stabbed out at the same time towards the heavenly army!

Immediately after, there was the sound of guns cutting into the flesh!

"Snort!"

Xiangyong fell in pieces!

The heavenly army is sparsely underground!

This contest. The Hunan army suffered a big loss!

There are two reasons for such a disparity in the proportion of casualties.

Ten of Xiangyong fell, and only one of the Heavenly Army fell!

The black iron spears of the Heavenly Army are all specially made, and they are one foot longer than Xiang Yong's!

The soldiers of the Heavenly Army are all wearing light armor, and they are not superior in martial arts, so they can't penetrate at all!

Li Xubin and Li Chunlin were fighting inseparably, and suddenly found that the strength of the shouts and killings on both sides had changed drastically!

The heavenly army is like a rainbow!

Xiang Yong has simply disappeared!

Li Xubin was able to take a break in his busy time, his eyes glanced at him, and his heart was shocked. What's going on?

Xiang Yong is at least half down!

The Celestial Army has hardly changed!

Xiangyong is losing and retreating!

The heavenly army is advancing step by step!

At this moment, the Heavenly Army shouted again: "Kill!"

Xiang Yong simply didn't make a sound, and Xiang was gritting his teeth and desperately stabbing the spear out of his hand!

Xiangyong has fallen more than a thousand people again!

The Celestial Army still only a few fell!

The monster had to shout to kill, it turned out that every confrontation was killed!

I'm embarrassed to shout kill, but it's not appropriate to shout "killed" either!

The actual situation is to be killed, and since it is embarrassing to shout out, being speechless is the best choice.

These Xiang Yong had originally practiced formation cooperation. From ten to a hundred, but in front of the monolithic stupid method of the Heavenly Army. It can't be used at all!

No matter how many people there are in front of you, the heavenly army is a team of 10,000 people, walking forward step by step, stabbing forward with one shot!

I don't care if you call, you can't stop me if I pierce it!

This Li Xubin and Li Chunlin were originally evenly matched, on par. Where is there room for distraction?

Just when his heart was shaking, Li Chunlin shot him in the throat!

At the last moment, his guard captain raised his spear, grabbed Li Chunlin's black iron gun, and shouted loudly: "The lord is leaving." It's not a problem!"

Li Xubin immediately decided: "Go!"

The remaining about 3,000 Xiangyong were immediately divided into two, 1,000 people continued to entangle with the soldiers of the Heavenly Army, and the other 2,000 people followed Li Xubin!

Li Chunlin stood up bravely, shouted, and shot the chief guard who was blocking him under the horse!

He shouted at those black iron spearmen again: "Fight quickly!"

So they hurried out of the wall and killed all the 1,000 Xiangyong who blocked them!

At the same time, Wang Tianqi's army was much more obedient.

Wang Tianqi's style of play is basically the same as Li Chunlin's army!

But the opponent Wang Zhu is much smarter than Li Xubin.

He didn't go all out, but let his strongest power flow at the end!

As a result, he was clever but was mistaken by cleverness!

Wang Tianqi's strength is infinite, and he killed the leader of Xiangyong who went to block it with one stick, which is Wang Xin's younger brother Wang Xin!

The soldiers also showed their might, divided by two by three, leveled the Xiangyong front team, which was not strong, and strode forward!

As a result, Wang Zhu's lightest backhand, who had not yet come to Qi, crushed the 10,000-strong black iron spear team of the Heavenly Army!

It was only when dealing with Wang Zhu that he ran into trouble, and his personal guards desperately protected him, so he ran into Zeng Guohua's team.

Wang Tianqi didn't stop and began to attack Zeng Guohua's guards, but he didn't expect a young general to jump out and withstand Wang Tianqi's attack!

It turns out that this is Zhao Liewen, a rising star of Xiangyong! Strong martial arts, skilled in strategy!

And Zeng Guohua's guards are also the elite of the elite, and they also withstood the attack of the heavenly army.

It wasn't until Li Xubin failed that they got together and retreated to the best big battalion!

After Li Xubin and Zhao Liewen broke off, they actually let the Heavenly Army not move forward!

finally retreated to the camp of Zeng Guofan, and it happened that Luo Zenan couldn't stand it!

So, the remnants of the two families merged into one and continued to escape!.
