Chapter 191: Useless Work (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Watching the cavalry battalion start to trot, Liu Chang has already paid attention to the main force of the Rainbow Army, although it is said to be the main force, but because of leaving the most critical dragon spear battalion of the Rainbow Army, there are only more than 800 people around Liu Chang now, which is almost the strength of two infantry battalions, but these troops belong to four different infantry battalions.

After a day of fierce fighting, their mental state was not bad, but they were withdrawn on the verge of victory, and they were a little puzzled, Liu Chang rode on the horse and told them: "My comrades-in-arms, Linhai City will be taken down sooner or later, and now it is just stored in the Qing Demon, it doesn't matter!" ”

"Now our five or six hundred comrades-in-arms who are staying in Huangyan County, our brothers and sisters, are being besieged by Su Jingrong's four or five thousand regiments, we must give up the victory in our hands and save these brothers and sisters, these closest comrades-in-arms from the clutches of the enemy!"

"Let me tell you, every one of your comrades-in-arms, even the new comrades-in-arms who have just joined our Rainbow Army, is a priceless treasure in our hearts! We can give up Coastal City, and we can give up everything in the future, my dear siblings! ”

"Kill to Scarborough Shoal!"

The thoughts of the whole army were unified at once, and everyone cheered and quickened their pace, although it had been a day and a night and half a day, but the whole army was in a very high mood, and the fatigue was forgotten: "Kill back to Huangyan City and save our brothers and sisters!" ”

Liu Chang shouted on the war horse: "The ancients said that those who offend me as a strong man will be punished even if they are far away, and now, I tell you that those who offend my rainbow army will be punished even if they are far away!" ”

"Fill your bayonets with blood today!"

Liu Chang's words have already set the tone for today's battle.

It's just that on the war horse, Liu Chang misses the long-haired Shi Tinglan a little, wearing a gold-colored robe, whether she is looking forward to her return on the wall of Huangyan.

It's like a lookout stone.

……

"The Red Thief has finally retreated!"

Zhang Yuzao, the prefect of Taizhou, seemed to have been fished out of the water, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally retreated, this Taizhou capital was saved!" ”

He knew that there was still the main force of the red thieves entrenched in the city, and they retreated in an orderly manner, so he sent a team of brave men to kill them, but none of the dozens of brave men fled back within half an hour, and only now did he know that this army was the dragon spear battalion!

That's right, this is the most elite dragon spear battalion in the entire red thief, known as the invincible dragon spear battalion, and there are many, many legends about this unit.

But when he confronted this army, he tasted the power of this dragon lance battalion, this army seemed to be an invincible division, a force that can only be found in ancient legends, he tried everything he could, he still found a flaw, and as long as he showed a flaw, the dragon spear battalion would decisively launch a counterattack.

In this situation, he could only hold on to the spot, waiting for the dragon lance battalion to search one city after another, and then retreat in an orderly manner.

But Governor Zhang still feels that he is very lucky, although he doesn't understand why the red thief retreated, but it is an indisputable fact that Taizhou Mansion has been saved.

He sat on the ground and laughed, laughing very proudly, and laughed for a while, before he turned around and asked General Lin who was guarding the city with him: "Shenrong, this time the city has been preserved, half of it is the merit of Shenrong, and the defeat of the red thief must start from this battle!" ”

That's right, legend has it that Liu Juehu attacked all the battles and was invincible, but today he retreated under the Taizhou city he defended, he continued: "Outside of the Zhi, my Taizhou army has a steady stream of reinforcements, and the red thieves are only based on two places, and the soldiers are short of ......."

It's just that General Lin finally decided to tell Governor Zhang a cold truth: "Futai, to tell the truth, this Taizhou capital city is estimated to be unable to hold it!" ”

"How is it possible, although the damage this time is large, and the casualties of the brave are small, but the main force still exists, as long as there is a steady stream of soldiers' salaries, then Linhai can be solid!" ..., but as soon as he said this, General Lin sat on the ground with Governor Zhang's mansion and told him: "There will be no food and salary in the future, and there will be no reinforcements, presumably I am the last batch!" At least not for a short time! ”

"What's going on?" Governor Zhang's mansion seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water, and he worked hard to make the red thief retreat from Liu's household, but General Lin told him that all this was in vain, and Taizhou City would still fall into the hands of the red thief.

General Lin Shen let out a long sigh: "Don't spread this news for the time being, has the long hair entered Zhejiang?" ”

"Long hair?" Governor Zhang knew why there was no food reinforcement to help: "When did Changmao enter Zhejiang?" Why don't I have any news, isn't there a heavy army of Deng Shaoliang stationed in Ning Guofu? ”

"It's not from Ning Guofu." General Lin told him: "I came from Changshan County, and when I entered Changshan on April 29, the soldiers of Luying Town were defeated......

The so-called Changshan County is what was called "strict defense" at that time, because it was subordinate to Yanzhou Mansion in Zhejiang at that time, also known as Changfang, this line of defense has always been the most unappreciated way of Zhejiang's three defenses, and Niu Deshun's team was withdrawn from Changfang.

But Governor Zhang remembered one thing: "Isn't Changshan garrisoned by hundreds of Taiyong from Taizhou?" They're pretty brave. ”

"They are brave, brave enough to rob the county seat before Changmao enters the county seat of Changshan!" General Lin told him: "Now this Taiyong is rampant everywhere, causing a commotion in western Zhejiang, and the whole of Zhejiang is paying attention to what this long-haired army is going to do!" ”

Historically, the Taiping army entered Zhejiang at the end of March, and this was only a defeated army, and they were defeated in Jiangxi by Luo Zenan, a famous general of the Hunan army, and could only return to the Anhui base area by a detour through Zhejiang, and the transit was only eight days.

However, this entry into Zhejiang made He Guiqing discover that it was wrong to deploy the main force in Ningguo Mansion on the Anhui side in the past, and the Taiping Army may have really entered Zhejiang through Changshan County or Quzhou Mansion on the Jiangxi side, because the original most insignificant strict defense was raised to the most critical position.

But in this time and space, because Liu Chang and the Red Turban Army rose in southern Zhejiang, Zhejiang and Fujian provinces were shaken, so Zhejiang and Fujian gave much less support to Jiangxi, and this Taiping army held out under Luo Zenan's attack for a whole month for this reason, and only began to transfer at the end of April and entered Zhejiang Province.

What's even worse is that in another time and space, the defeated army of this Taiping army just made a detour to Zhejiang to return to the base area, but the deployment of Changshan in this time and space was greatly weakened by the rise of Liu Chang, which made the Taiping army find that they may have found a new paradise.

The resources of this paradise were enough to feed tens of thousands of Taiping troops, so he no longer crossed the border, but tried to occupy the entire Yanzhou Prefecture, and then tried to take the whole of Zhejiang, and in this way, He Guiqing had to face three battles.

In the territory of Chuzhou, there are troops of the Red Turban Army trying to seize the entire Chuzhou capital, Liu Chang rose in Taizhou, has captured the Taiping and Huangyan counties, plus a large number of Taiping troops from the Changshan side, he can only give priority to solving the threat of the Taiping army.

After all, the Red Turban Army was just a local thief, and the Taiping Army was the enemy country of the entire Qing Dynasty, in this case, not only did He Guiqing turn the troops, food, and ordnance that could be raised in Zhejiang Province to western Zhejiang, but even Fujian could not care about the Red Turban Army entering northern Fujian, and was ready to send a heavy army to reinforce Zhejiang.

As for the Hunan army, Zeng Guofan was trying to actively aid Zhejiang, but this aid to Zhejiang also represented the capture of another province by the Hunan forces, so He Guiqing was reluctant to do so, and would rather ask his nominal boss the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian for help, and at the same time ask for a reinforcement from the Jiangnan battalion.

Zhejiang not only paid 60,000 taels to the Jiangnan battalion every month, but also the 17,000 soldiers of the Jiangnan battalion in Ningguofu were also supported by Zhejiang, and it was natural for the Jiangnan battalion to send a strong general to help Zhejiang. ..., in this case, the whole situation has changed, Taizhou Mansion has become an outcast, Lin Shen General simply told Zhang Zhifu: "No matter what, our Taizhou Mansion will not be able to wait for reinforcements and food in the short term, unless our Duan Daotai can conjure up hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!" ”

Although Governor Zhang believed in Duan Daotai's methods very much, but in this situation, his whole person was immersed in ice water, and he only felt that his heart was cold, and he said with a wry smile: "I knew that I would give the city to Liu Juhu yesterday, so that I could die early and be reborn!" ”

What a cruel scene this is, now the green battalion soldiers of Taizhou Mansion are equivalent to the whole army is gone, half of the guest soldiers and brave soldiers are lost, and more importantly, in order to repel the attack of the red thief, Governor Zhang promised a reward of 60,000 taels of silver.

Now the silver in his hand is less than half of this amount, and if there is no military salary from the province, then how can he deal with the brave and guest soldiers who are making trouble? What's more, the dead and wounded, the brave and the guest soldiers all need to pay for soup medicine and pensions, where does this money come from? The next time the red thief comes to attack, where will he get the money?

I thought it was a death escape, but I didn't expect that the next thing was just waiting for death, as soon as I thought of this, Governor Zhang's whole person fell directly to the ground and didn't say anything.

What else can be done but to pretend to be dead!

……

And at this moment, in Huangyan County, the battle is getting more and more intense.

Bai Shanye's reinforcements and the two squads that came from the east combined, did not suppress the brave warriors south of Mu from the city gate, and now more brave men are constantly climbing the city wall.

It's just that Mu Yinan suddenly discovered that there is a famous hall among them, and now he is still from Huangyan who is going to work hard, and then take a closer look, Su Jingrong and Huang Xiude's team training is still the supervision team under the city.

They were now happily invited by Su Jingrong to rush to the city, and suddenly started a life-and-death struggle with the brave red thieves on the city again and again.

"Damn it!" Now Mu Yinan directly grabbed Su Jingrong's collar and asked, "Damn, Su Jingrong, why hasn't your group Yong moved yet?" ”

"The red thief has a dragon spear camp, and he doesn't need it when he is critical, and the same is true for my group practice with Brother Xiude, not to mention that I tell you that Yinan has opened a gap here, and whoever can go up first is Jinshan Yinshan plus the little daughter-in-law and the eldest lady to choose, and as a result, everyone praised Brother Yinan's bravery, and they rushed to support Brother Yinan!"

Mu Yinan finally understood, the dead were all Huangyan people!
