Chapter 404: Darkness Outside the Houfeng River (continued.)

And the temporary Chinese army of the Taiping Army, which was deployed on Gouli Mountain, could already see the battlefield under the mountain with the sound of fighting.

"Is this Dong Chang's backhand killer? It seems that the victory or defeat of the other five people is where the outcast and smoke are.,Just to cover this desperate middle way blow.。。 ”

Zhou Huai'an focused on those banners with interest, and couldn't help but sigh.

On behalf of the three centaurs that have never appeared in the Hangzhou Army - Shijingdu, Fuyangdu, and Longquandu; In this way, it passed through the cordon network of the rebels in the outer cities from the west, and approached the vicinity of the Dantu.

"Qi Yu led the army, and it has been ascertained that it is Fan Zhensheng and Rao Ping, who are the two divisions of the peripheral rebel army, and they have successively turned against the water and led the enemy to the front,"

At the same time, Xiao Qi, the detective captain who was crouching on the ground and covered with dust and blood, also said hurriedly.

Therefore, he deceived and broke through the camp of several leaders such as Yao Zining, Li Xiong, and Zhang Xun; It was long and went straight into my defense, and it was only at the mouth of the porcelain kiln that it was recognized by the guerrilla team to which the formation belonged, and it was temporarily stopped by Liu Duwei who led the cavalry to pounce. Now I'm going down the mountain with all my might,"

And it was like a house leak that happened to rain overnight, half a day ago. The three sides and four gates of Dantu City were opened at the same time, and several officers and soldiers came to kill them. Therefore, with the attack of Dong Chang's headquarters from the west, with Gouli Mountain as the center for a while, it turned out to be a scene of attacking the Taiping army inside and outside one after another.

At the same time, in the wilderness of the west direction of Gouli Mountain. The Hangzhou military athletes, who are mainly Shijingdu, Fuyangdu, and Longquandu, also broke through and covered up checkpoints, fortifications and sentry posts without stopping, and like bursts of gathered torrents, rushing towards the direction of Dantu City between the smoke and dust.

"Fame and fortune, wealth and wealth are just around the corner."

Dong Chang, who was riding a high-headed horse, personally led the crowd to rush to the front, and the generals who followed him on the left shouted and encouraged one after another.

"The brothers are following the banner, don't be left behind."

"Dong Dutuan, I will pay you all the lives and future of the whole division."

And Fan Zhensheng, who was closely following the generals of the Chinese Army's Shijingdu and Lin'an regimental training, Fan Zhensheng, the general of the other division of the South Road Volunteer Army, who was draped all over his body, also said loudly to Dong Chang again

"Even if you put 10,000 hearts and defeat these Taiping thieves in front of you, everyone has a lot of merit and official positions;"

And Dong Chang also responded calmly.

"Don't say that it is the name of the righteous battalion soldiers, even if it is the title of unity soldiers, guard soldiers, and even marching soldiers. And the officials worship the history of a state, the regimental training, the defense, and the right to capture are as much as possible. ”

"Then I'll give you this life."

Fan Zhensheng, the general of the volunteer army, couldn't help but shout hard against his chest

Then, as the Taiping thieves who met and defended them in front of them retreated, the lines and the disarrays that they kept retreating from; The low Gouli Mountain outside Dantu City seems to have been clearly presented in front of you for a long time.

"Go all out to take Gouli Mountain, capture the Void Demon Monk alive, relieve the siege of Dantu City, and sacrifice the imperial court."

At this time, Dong Chang, who was full of determination and resoluteness, couldn't help but raise his arms again and shouted left and right.

As the head of the eight capitals of Hangzhou, he was only the leader who occupied the most financial resources in the ancient city of Lin'an, and was elected by the public; In private, there is indeed no less intimidation and pullback.

Therefore, it took him several years to gradually turn the other neighboring Liangdu and Five Towns into his own de facto subordinate and vassal armaments under the means of power and calculation, co-optation and division. Only then did he have the initial capital before and after the order to overwhelm the other five capitals.

Now, according to Dantu Chengzhong's statement, it is clear that he has another chance to go further in power; From the real name of the head of Hangzhou, he has become a vassal and military commander across several states and even feudal towns;

In that case, if you have followed half of this so-called secret covenant, it is no harm to make it false; It can be said that "if you don't take it, you will be blamed for it; If you don't do it, you will suffer from it".

And when the gaze returned to the top of Gouli Mountain, which was guarded layer by layer, it was still a tense and busy atmosphere that was not too chaotic and panicked.

"Do you have anything else to say now?"

Zhou Huai'an, who was watching the battle from afar, suddenly turned around and said to Qian Gumei, who had already been caught.

"The matter has come to this, and a certain committee really has nothing to say."

Qian Gumei, who has a stocky and disheveled body, and a face full of bitterness and lamentation, is also a dejected Tao.

"I deserve this catastrophe, and please remember the sake of a short acquaintance, just give it a neat and happy one.。。

"In that case, come on. . . Give him a good time. ”

Zhou Huaian waved his hand resolutely.

Subsequently, in the ashes of all thoughts, he closed his eyes and waited for death, and he couldn't help flashing all kinds of life, full of grief and indignation, and only waited for Qian Gumei to fall from the knife; But with a stunned and unbelievable face, he was loosened by the cut rope, and was brought back to Zhou Huai'an; I heard him mutter:

"This... This.. And why? ”

Looking at his terrifying expression of escaping death, Zhou Huai'an not only felt a burst of malicious and interesting happiness in his heart; Because it's just a temporary test. It seems that the sons of luck and Fengyun on the stage of history in the future are not able to casually turn evil into good fortune or escape opportunities;

"Since Dong Chang obviously wants to use me to kill people with a knife, how can I easily make him fulfill his wish."

However, as a statement on the surface, Zhou Huaian sneered at him disapprovingly.

"However, as the envoy of Hangzhou Badu, you are also to blame for the corresponding involvement."

Hearing this, Qian Gumei's face suddenly changed and fell. Zhou Shendian continued with a blind eye.

"It's just that these days, I think you are also a self-motivated person, a man who has something to do and do, wouldn't it be a pity to die in vain, it's better to stay in my place and do something to redeem and repay; Maybe there's a chance to get your revenge right now."

"Isn't it?"

Qian Gumei, who escaped death and went through such ups and downs, and had complex and repeated psychology, couldn't help but speak again.

"Isn't the leader worried about the current situation and situation at all?"

"Worried, of course I'll be worried."

Zhou Huai'an became more and more calm and composed.

"It's just that what's the use of my worries, since I have put my trust into these soldiers who are fighting with all their might, then I will do my best to believe and support them."

"As the lord of an army, he should have the city and bearing of Mount Tai, no matter how critical and urgent the situation is, if he is happy and happy, he will not be holding back and messing with himself."

"What's more, what you see right now is not necessarily the whole truth and truth."

Speaking of this, Zhou Huai'an once again emphasized with some point

"That... Isn't the leader worried about leaking the news from me? ”

"Can you go there and send it back for Dong Chang to kill again?"

Zhou Huai'an looked at him with a clear look.

"Of course, if Hangzhou Badu can casually take out a character like you as a dead room, then I also think that I am short-sighted and will not complain about losing."

Hearing this, Qian Gumei's face became very wonderful again, but after a long period of speechlessness; It was only a little difficult to bend his arm and bow down, and said in a dumb voice:

"Since he has been appreciated and forgiven by the leader, he is willing to give his modest strength. I also hope that the leader will not blame the past and give a chance to serve before the battle. ”

"And after watching the effect, it will be good,"

Zhou Huai'an, who was secretly happy in his heart, also nodded reservedly and calmly and drew a cake for him.

"Maybe there will be more opportunities to use you in the future, and even recapture the old department is unknown."

Of course, compared to the gains and losses of offense and defense on the battlefield, what happened here is just a small episode and an addition. But Zhou Huai'an still has to thank the other party for the divine assistance invisibly;

What kind of reason for betrayal and betrayal can make this character of the future potential child of luck template have to have a home and not be able to return to lose his power and territory; And the more sustenance and obedience under one's own wings, there is hope for the possibility of regaining everything.

Zhou Huai'an turned to the accompanying Yu Hou Chang Mi Bao Dao.

"Pass my order and launch the 'stunning' plan of the Cingzi."

。。。。。。。。。

On the other side of Gouli Mountain, in the huge siege joint camp, the number of officers and troops who had already counterattacked had captured and occupied most of them. Although many officers and soldiers have taken advantage of the situation and began to loot and loot everywhere; However, on top of more than a dozen large earthen platforms, hundreds of Taiping soldiers were still free, fighting to the death and not retreating.

Although most of them were scarred and physically and mentally exhausted, they relied on their condescending and well-established geographical advantages to take turns to repel wave after wave of besieging officers and troops; Even if the string is worn out and the blood soaks the sleeve, and the arrows are desperately released, the shoulders and arms are sore; But he plucked up Yu Yong to pick up the broken spear and fork handle, and continued to stab and stab the heads of those who climbed up;

It's like forgetting life and death for a while, not knowing what to do with fear and withdrawal. And under a high platform where the battle continued, Liu Hao, the right general of the Zhenhai Xing Battalion, was a little puzzled and secretly hesitant for a while.

As a veteran of many years of experience and intuition, after easily attacking this Taiping thief's camp with relative momentum, the vigilance and doubts in his heart gradually accumulated with the process of attacking and fighting; And slowly climbing the road, there is a feeling of some danger, like a thorn in the back.

Not only because most of the grass thieves faced the resistance and fighting spirit of the two of them in the face of the official army and the previous one; They fled as fast as they could after only a few rounds of arrows, destroying even the lost ordnance, leaving little chance for the officers and soldiers to capture and disarm.

And it's not just because these Taiping thieves who are besieged are too tenacious and tenacious. Although many peripheral fortifications have been demolished and filled in after several attacks, they can still continue to cover in an orderly and alternating manner, and continue to shrink and stubbornly resist to the end.

Do you expect the Taiping thieves who retreated and entrenched in Gouli Mountain? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stop a subordinate lieutenant who escorted the captured ones:

"How many siege engines have you stolen, have you counted them?"

"It's not counted, but it's mostly small and medium-sized objects."

Liu Hao suddenly remembered that most of the siege equipment and large equipment that had been designated to be destroyed in these camps were gone. The approximate amount of grain, grass, and heavy materials that can be seen along the way is really a bit shabby and simple, and it can be called a false appearance.

Suddenly, the uneasiness in my heart became heavier, and it became an almost omnipresent warning sign.
