The hot air balloon gondola was broken, and then the balloon was burned, which was not as big a blow to the 14th Army as Jiangnan Admiral and Chun imagined.

No one used any ghosts and gods to explain this, there were all hot air balloons manned into the air, and there were no people in the 14th Army who believed in ghosts and gods, just believe in Weze. Not to mention that the cause of this accident is really clear, in fact, some people were worried that the strength of the gondola was not enough, but the hot air balloon had just been manufactured, and many technical points had not been solved, and the weight that could be carried was very limited, so everyone had to reduce the weight of the gondola.

Luckily, the two balloon operators were quick enough to climb onto the airbag rope net and escape. At that time, the hanging basket was ten meters above the ground, and anyone who fell from this height would be turned into a meatloaf. The wind blew the balloon and floated towards the position of the Qing army with two observers, which startled everyone. The balloon has no protection, and if there are two more people lying on it, it will definitely be a dead end if it floats to the side of the Qing army.

The balloon burned, and the balloon operator slowly landed with the balloon, although the two were frightened, they were not injured. This made the senior generals breathe a sigh of relief, and with the presence of personnel who had personally experienced this time, the General Staff would be able to better study the matter and formulate a better plan.

And the next table of the Qing army is even more interesting, a Qing army of more than 2,000 people came directly to the Taiping army. This made Deputy Army Marshal Cai Yubin and Deputy Chief of Staff Ju Junfeng of the Operations Department feel that the balloon burning up may not be a completely bad thing.

The Qing army had about 7,000 people, and the Taiping army had 2,000 people. 2,000 annihilating 7,000 people is too difficult. Wei Ze led the 3,000 troops of the 14th Army to attack the Qing army in an attempt to detour back to the 3,000 Qing army behind the Taiping army, with the purpose of annihilating these 3,000 people and constantly weakening the Qing army's superiority in strength.

The 2,000 troops who stayed to contain the Qing army did not expect that the Qing army would send 2,000 people to fight first. Especially after the Qing army was defeated in the artillery battle, the Qing army dared to take the initiative to attack. This could not but surprise the Taiping Army. At this time, there was only one choice left for the 14th Army to make, and that was to completely annihilate this Qing army on the battlefield.

"This can be regarded as an explanation to the chief of the general staff." Cai Yubin smiled bitterly and said self-deprecatingly.

Deputy Chief of Staff Ju Junfeng smiled bitterly: "Explain what? Do you think the Chief of the General Staff would think that it would be a big deal to burn a balloon? However, we must make a note in the military history records. The first one burned the balloon on the battlefield, but there is no reason not to write it down. ”

"We're really famous now! Ha ha! Cai Yubin simply laughed.

Ju Junfeng was stunned, he thought that Cai Yubin was thinking of talking to someone from the military history department to see if he could cover up this matter. Unexpectedly, Cai Yubin had no intention of covering it up at all, so he admitted it. Cai Yubin admitted it, and Ju Junfeng was also relieved. Wei Ze repeatedly said at the General Staff Headquarters that military history must record the truth, and if all that is recorded is nonsense, then simply don't call it military history, but call it a military storytelling department.

wants to cover up the failure in the military history department, at least Ju Junfeng hasn't figured out what to do yet. Yiju Junfeng himself has accepted his fate, and now Cai Yubin has also accepted his fate, at least everyone doesn't have to have any conflicts on such matters.

The Qing army's military formation was about two miles away from the position of the 14th Army, and the 2,000 troops of the Qing army were all infantry, they first stopped at a distance of one mile from the Taiping army, reorganized the formation, and the Qing army began to continue to advance towards the position of the Taiping army.

Admiral Jiangnan and Lord Chun watched the battle from afar, and he knew that this was the last attack of the Qing army today. First they walked more than ten miles in the morning, and then retreated back after the artillery battle. It took a lot of energy to go back and forth. The Shu Yue bandits had originally camped near this place of engagement, and they had not exercised vigorously until now, and their bodies should have been much better than those maintained by the Qing army. If it weren't for the fact that after the Shu Yue bandits burned a thing that could float in the air, the morale of the Qing army was greatly boosted. Admiral Hechun is preparing to let the Qing army rest and eat something now.

But once the army is released, it is impossible to take it back. This is not yesterday to lure the enemy troops, you can see Shu Yue bandits and then turn around and run. If you fight like this in front of the battle, the whole front will collapse. The bandits chased and killed, and the Qing army immediately had the possibility of annihilation.

At this time, the pro-soldiers brought one person to see Hechun. It was now May, and the weather was just beginning to get hot, and the army was fighting in the mountainous area, which was not too hot, and I saw that the man was covered in sweat, as if he had been fished out of the water. Without waiting for He Chun to ask, the man knelt down for He Chun, and said with a crying voice: "Admiral, I am the personal soldier of the general soldier of Yindebu. We were ambushed and annihilated! ”

"What?" He Chun was stunned.

"We were ambushed by Cantonese bandits and annihilated. I sent a letter to the Admiral in my family's name, and the villain finally ran out. After speaking, the soldier took out a bamboo tube from his arms and handed it to Hechun.

The soldier took the bamboo tube, opened it, and pulled out a piece of paper. After opening it, there was a writing on it, and then he handed the paper to Kazuharu. He Chun frowned, he was born in the army, and writing was not his forte. But the general soldier Yin Debu is a Mongolian Zhenglan Banner person. But he is good at cursive, and likes to use grass to make peace and happiness.

Let He Chun read what is written in Kai, and He Chun can still read it, but cursive is really out of his ability. And according to the soldier who escaped, the chief soldier Yin Debunai wrote this thing at a critical moment, and under the excitement, he was even more full of emotion, or he could write freely. So He Chun looked at the hearty text, but he didn't understand what was written.

The master hurriedly took the "suicide note" of the chief soldier Yin Debu, and after identifying it, the master said: "This is indeed the word of the chief soldier Yin Debu." ”

"Oh!" He Chun responded. He suddenly understood a little bit of the reason why the last suicide note of the chief soldier Yin Debu was written in cursive. This guy couldn't use a seal at that time, so in order not to make people think that this thing was forged by someone else, he used the best cursive script to write, which is equivalent to a special seal.

Although the font is different, the content is quite traditional. The commander-in-chief, Yin Debu, confessed to his defeat, saying that by the time he appeared with the enemy, the enemy army had already been killed in front of him, and the Qing army was suddenly attacked, and he could not resist, so he was immediately surrounded. In such a situation, the chief soldier Yin Debu is ready to be martyred. It is hoped that Admiral Hechun will give his suicide note to Emperor Xianfeng.

As soon as he figured out what was written in the suicide note, He Chun heard a fierce gunfire in the direction of the Taiping Army opposite his department!
