The purpose of going into battle is to kill, and the difference between faltering or brisk is that the latter is more effective at reaping the lives of their enemies while keeping their own lives. However, to the observers, this brisk pace seemed to be an attempt to face death earlier. At least Lin Fengxiang, who had never been trained to walk on his own troops, felt this way.

The smoke outside the west of the city did not completely dissipate, and the troops of the 2nd Brigade of the 12th Army added some branches and grass to the pyre, and the troops who climbed the city prepared their own grenades. Grenadier refers to the elite who are physically strong and can throw more than a dozen kilograms of bombs, but this class has become an honorary title, at least there are no units in Weezer's army that are only responsible for throwing bombs.

Not only were the Taiping troops under the city fighting, but the Qing army at the head of the city also fired a burst of guns at the city, and the smoke from the muskets on the city overlapped with the smoke made under the city, making the entire west of the city seem to fall into a thick fog. Lin Fengxiang looked at it from a distance, but he couldn't see anything. Suddenly, there was a series of explosions from the top of the city, which was like an artillery bombardment, and it was like the sound of raising a gun, so that Lin Fengxiang couldn't guess what kind of weapon it was, and all he could be sure of was that the Twelfth Army began to attack the Qing army. Originally, smoke was the best cover for the Taiping army when they attacked the city, but at this time, the smoke made Lin Fengxiang feel very regretful, if there was no smoke, he would be able to see how Wei Ze's troops attacked the city.

The dull sound did not last long, and suddenly there was a burst of gunfire in the city. Soon, a correspondent of the 12th Army arrived in front of Ke Gongyu and Lin Fengxiang, and the messenger raised his hand and saluted, "Report to the commander, the Second Brigade has captured the city wall of Xicheng and is expanding the scope of control." ”

Lin Fengxiang had never seen such a simple, bright and powerful salute posture, and the content of the report surprised him even more. The troops of the Qing army were basically assembled in the west of the city at this time, and even if the 12th Army was quite good at fighting, it would not have controlled the city wall so quickly.

At this time, there was a lot of gunfire on the city wall, and Lin Fengxiang's troops used arquebuses, and the shooting density was heard in Lin Fengxiang's ears, as if three or five hundred people had boarded the city wall and began to shoot in a continuous row. In such a short period of time, how did the Twelfth Army allow three or five hundred men to climb the city wall. At this time, not only did the smoke not disperse, but because of the explosive bean-like gun, Lin Fengxiang could no longer see what was happening in the city.

"Got it!" Ke Gongyu replied calmly. His mind is no longer on the battle, the Qing army can only rely on the city wall, after losing the city wall, they are like grasshoppers after the autumn, there is nothing to jump on. At this time, Ke Gongyu was thinking about two things, one was what kind of Qing army would fight after he occupied Xuyi. The other is what kind of Qing army can allow Wei Ze to personally lead the troops to Anqing to fight.

While he was thinking about it, Ke Gongyu heard someone shouting: "Ke Junshuai! ”

"Huh? What's the matter? Ke Gongyu replied subconsciously. After finishing speaking, he noticed that it was an inspector next to Lin Fengxiang who was coming up to talk. Ke Gongyu once envied the senior officials of other troops, and theoretically their status was much higher than Ke Gongyu. However, in Wei Ze's army, a military commander really commanded 5,000 people. In other units, one inspector commands more than 1,000 people. There are even those who can only command 500 people to be inspectors. Comparing these two sides, Ke Gongyu looked down on people from other units of the Taiping Army. Even if it is Lin Fengxiang's troops, the supreme commander of an army is also a checkpoint, and they are all commanding 5,000 people, and Ke Gongyu, the military commander, is not particularly polite to the inspection point that is five levels higher than the military marshal.

"Marshal Ke, after capturing Xuyi, how to divide the spoils." According to the system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, theoretically, a military commander would not dare to be so "disrespectful" to an inspector. But the "disrespectful" inspectors did not try to suppress Ke Gongyu through their official position at all. Although Ke Gongyu was only a military commander, Wei Ze was the king of Qi, and in the system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the king of Qi belonged to the prince with a fief. If the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had seized the world at this time, then Wei Ze would have to go to Shandong to "seal it". Such a big backer is not something that Lin Fengxiang, the prime minister, can fight against at all.

The power in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was divided into more than a dozen levels, and the real first-class core power layer was marked by the "military advisor". The core of the first-class power is entirely human. The first level is the "Zheng and Zheng Military Division", which refers to Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, and Xiao Chaogui, the king of the west. The second level is the "deputy and deputy military division", which is naturally the southern king Feng Yunshan and the northern king Wei Changhui. The third level is the "main general", which is composed of Wing King Shi Dakai and Tiande King Hong Daquan (real name Jiao Liang).

Up to now, Xiao Chaogui, the king of the west, Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, and Hong Daquan, the king of Tiande, have all "ascended to heaven", and the remaining three kings of the east, the north and the wings of the king form the first class of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Below the first class is the second class, and the second class is composed of the king, the king, the emperor, and the heavenly marquis. Wei Ze was the highest king in the second rank, and he was the king with a fief. According to the system of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, Wei Ze, the king of Qi, is the full name of "King of Tianqi", and Qin Rigang, who has just received the title of King Yan, is the "King of Tianyan" throughout the whole process.

Lin Fengxiang has already been sealed and ranked in the sky. However, it is still two levels lower than Weese. Moreover, Lin Fengxiang's troops have been getting along with Wei Ze's troops for a while, and this inspector also knows that Wei Ze's troops attach great importance to the military system. Wei Ze's nephew, Wei Changrong, is also the commander of Wei Ze's very warlike army. Even if the military commander is five levels lower than the inspection point, Wei Changrong, who is Wei Ze's nephew, is the "national sect", and the national emperor is one level higher than the weather.

Although Lin Fengxiang's subordinates didn't know why Wei Ze did this, they knew very well that when they faced Wei Ze's military commanders, they should definitely not be stupid and pretend to be big cloves of garlic. In fact, the judgments of these inspectors were correct, and Ke Gongyu, as the commander of Wei Ze's subordinates, did not take Lin Fengxiang's inspections seriously.

What Lin Fengxiang's inspector wanted to say was how to divide the things in the city after entering Xuyi City. At this time, theoretically, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom still had a holy treasury. However, the sacred treasury of each region has been taken over by each region. Yang Xiuqing was a very capable leader, and Wei Ze in Anhui did not resist the infiltration of Yang Xiuqing's forces. Even so, Yang Xiuqing only controlled the taxes and grain depots in the Chaohu area. In the vast area to the north, Wei Ze still firmly grasped the power of local tax collection, and also naturally grasped the power of the local "holy treasury".

When the cooperation between the central and local officials of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was very good, the troops that did not belong to each other could only adopt the mode of "settling accounts with brothers". If Xuyi is attacked by Lin Fengxiang or Ke Gongyu alone, or if one party is alone, then it is easy to say that "collecting money" will enter the city. After all, Lin Fengxiang has been fighting in front for a while, and according to the rules, even if Ke Gongyu defeats Xuyi, he can't wipe out the pawnshops, official silver, and money houses in Xuyi City alone. Even if Lin Fengxiang's department only gets a little hard-earned money, he has to give a share.

Of course, Ke Gongyu also understands this, in fact, the order at the beginning was that the Twelfth Army was to attack the city, and Lin Fengxiang was responsible for besieging the city. Unexpectedly, Lin Fengxiang did it himself, and Ke Gongyu guessed that Lin Fengxiang also had plans to make more money. Regarding the question of inspection, Ke Gongyu smiled: "Then how are you going to divide it?" ”

The two looked at each other a few times like profiteers, and made sure that the other party was not ready to swallow it alone, so they lowered their voices and began to discuss. If it weren't for the fact that both of them were southerners, they were afraid that they would just follow the example of the northern mule and horse market to use their fingers in their sleeves to determine the quota.

After reaching an agreement, Lin Fengxiang's inspectors went to report to Lin Fengxiang. These things are still as good as possible, and if they are in the city, things may not change.

The result achieved was 28 points, and Ke Gongyu got 8. Lin Fengxiang didn't say anything after hearing this, he stepped forward and asked, "Marshal Ke, I see that the fire pot and musket you use don't seem to be the same as the muskets elsewhere. ”

Regarding Lin Fengxiang's only raising this question now, Ke Gongyu didn't know whether to praise Lin Fengxiang's quick reaction or slow reaction. However, after all, his question touched on the fundamental problem, and the equipment of Wei Ze's troops was much better than that of the Taiping army and the Qing army. Because of this, Ke Gongyu couldn't reach any agreement with Lin Fengxiang at all. "We made it all up ourselves," he laughs. ”

While perfunctory Lin Fengxiang, Ke Gongyu hoped that Wei Ze could hurry up from Anqing to Xuyi.

The military information that Ke Gongyu got was somewhat inaccurate, and Wei Ze did not go straight to Anqing, but went straight to Tongcheng. The large forces of the Qing army did not dare to directly attack the heavily defended Anqing of the city of Gaochi Shen, but tried to attack Tongcheng. However, the Qing army could not attack Tongcheng, and turned to attack Lu'an. Wei Ze had no choice, so he changed direction and went to Lu'an again. If he knew that the strategic initiative was actually seized by the Qing army and mobilized Wei Ze's troops to run back and forth, Ke Gongyu might have felt very disappointed.

Wei Ze also has some unavoidable hardships to do this, there are not many Qing army leaders who can let Wei Ze personally lead troops to Anqing, and the current Jiangnan Admiral He Chun can definitely be counted as the number one. Among the high-ranking officials of the Qing army who had a deep hatred with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, He Chun was able to rank in the top five. Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, personally said that he hoped that Wei Ze would be able to take down the rank of Hechun. This expectation also really put some pressure on Wei Ze.

The 13th and 14th armies marched into Anqing this time, and due to the turn to Lu'an, Wei Ze ordered Hu Chenghe, commander of the Shouzhou Military Region, to send a corps of troops south to participate in the attack on Hechun. For this battle, Wei Ze has already ordered that even if he runs more and disturbs Hechun less, he will try his best to annihilate Hechun's troops in one fell swoop.

It would undoubtedly be a long battle, and Ke Gongyu's wish for Wei Ze to come was frustrated. r1o58
