Outside Shanyang City, it was used as the Guankou Post where the temporary Chinese army of the North Road Righteous Army was located.

In a complex of buildings, the once well-framed Fuhua inner room has been smashed into a mess by someone's blazing; Let a few disgraced concubines curl up and tremble.

"How can this be reasonable, the false monk deceives people too much; Liu Hanhong, this dog is not shallow; The military government can't help for a while. I'm so tired that I can only suffer from such a sandwich gas? ”

Shang Rang, the deputy chief manager in a fancy suit, also stood in this mess and scolded.

"Let's not talk about Liu Goutou, if this thief monk is aggressive and doesn't want to give face, why not fight with him."

There was a general present, but he couldn't help but persuade him.

"Fight, what to fight. Just rely on the local collection and agglomeration of those goods? Thousands of people on the shores of Lake White Horse were defeated in a battle, which was already humiliating enough; There is a big basket here in Shanyang that escapes without a fight, do you have to be here again and again, and continue to be embarrassed again and again. My face is not so permissible. ”

Shang Rang was so full of color.

"When the time comes, even you will not be able to get rid of it, who told you to take whatever goods you do not refuse in order to make up for the head. If this is not the case, how can it give people the opportunity and room to go up and play in the middle? Why don't they make up for it quickly, clean up and clean up the belonging and origin of their subordinates, are you waiting for others to add knives to your neck again? ”

"I can't fight it, I can't drag it out, how can I care about it now."

Another old-looking subordinate looked at his face carefully and said slowly

"Let's talk about it, talk to him again, let the General's Mansion slow down for us, and I still want to teach you the truth of asking for money on the spot; Everything else is negotiable, except for direct handover. ”

Shang Rang waved his hand a little tiredly.

“。。 After all, you are all unscrupulous, and the guy who stole my warrant in the first place has not been recovered; The abandoned team hasn't been chased back yet. As long as this generation can be free for a day, my face will never be recovered; But is it still missing a little more from the monk's side? ”

。。。。。。

At the same time, in Xuyi City, it was the time when the lights were on and the night was quiet.

It was only with the arrival of the number of messengers at dusk that the subtle changes and chain reactions brought about were finally brewed into a group of men and horses galloping out of the night and galloping along the Huaishui towards the east.

"I'm really hurt by you."

On the back of the galloping horse, Wang Langzuo, the deputy commander of the Guangsheng Army and the general of the left chamber, was also hating and missing his brother-in-law who had just been wiped out and sunk in the pond. Obviously, he just used him to settle his personal favor on Liu Hanhong's side in Huaishang, but he didn't expect such a big battle and right and wrong.

According to the report of the visitor, the military horses of the North Road managed by Mr. Shang and the Taiping Department of the monk Naxu have been in a full-scale conflict, and they have been killed on the line of Gaoyou Lake to the shore of Baima Lake, killing the corpse mountain and the sea of blood flowing into a river; Even the envoys of the General's Mansion who came and went to mediate could not make him stop and stop.

How could such a huge stake be something that he, the deputy military master, could bear? So as soon as he found out, he sent someone to catch his powerful brother-in-law, who he relied on as a confidant, and after torture and interrogation, he tied a stone and planted a lotus.

For today's plan, only before the Zhou someone, who likes to bite randomly, leads most of the Taiping army to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt; Hurry to the camp of the head of Shang to identify the traces of the heart and know the benefits, so that it is possible to obtain the corresponding thoroughness and protection.

If you wait until the few guys in the Guangsheng army who are not on the right path with you also get the news and start to make trouble, then don't think about it anymore. He wasn't even sure whether the military master, who had benefited a lot from his dealings with the Taiping army, would take the opportunity to join his own men.

It's not that he doesn't want to take all the men under his command with him; It's a pity that such a thing as a night march is quite a difficult thing for most of the rebels. Under his men is no exception, if all of them are brought out, I am afraid that most of them will be scattered before they have gone far on the road.

Therefore, under the severe obstacles of his personal body, he could only reluctantly leave these old parts behind temporarily. With the most sturdy and nocturnal vision, more than 100 horsemen accompanied him, and the right to be the escort of the temporary road.

Fortunately, although the night was dark, I could still see the road clearly, and I didn't need everyone to walk at night with a cane, which somewhat increased the concealment of the escape. Seeing that the road that had been rushing for most of the night had already galloped out of the boundary of Xuyi, and after entering the territory of Baoying County, this group of people slowed down slightly.

At this time, a little gray-white sky light was already cast in the deep night; The outpost, which was also a bait at the outpost with a lantern in front of him, also turned back again and whispered:

"Jiangtou, in front of the Langfang Bridge on the Xicao Water, not far from the bridge is the fortress of Xindu Town, the local warlord is with the head of the old Cheng Kuang, can you."

"No, no one can be trusted or counted on at this juncture. Don't say what the old origin is. It is because I believe in the old that I have fallen to this point, and I have already taken it off, so I don't want to miss my deeds here. ”

Wang Langzuo categorically vetoed it, and he waved his hand and ordered.

"Divide the front and back five horses, spread up and down along the river, and explore the road. The rest of the men and horses leaned against the bridge to find a place to rest and eat for a while; Then walk around carefully; As long as everyone persists for a while, they can be liberated when they arrive in Shanyang. ”

When they had almost rested, and regained their spirits, they rode across the bridge one after another; He continued along the riverside road. At this time, the people who went to search upstream and downstream have not yet returned, and the team that has just been dispersed has suddenly changed.

"Be careful. There are trips. ”

With the terrible and sudden shout, in an instant, the followers who were in the lead followed the fallen mount, and scrambled to roll on the ground for more than ten horses. The rest of the men hurriedly reined in their horses and stopped there, and the follow-up riders crowded on the road one after another.

Then there were arrows as dense as flying locusts, and the figures who were standing up in the grass on the side of the road rushed like rain into the obvious targets of the people and horses on the main road. It was like the wind blowing the leaves that pierced them from their horses, shot them down, flipped them over or fell diagonally into the dust.

"Be careful, there are a lot of repeaters."

"Go back."

"No, step over and rush up."

"Hurry up and save people..."

"Hold them off."

In the midst of these chaotic shouts with mixed reactions. Wang Langzuo, who stayed at the back of the team and changed his outfit to be out of the crowd, couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Who doesn't know that among the rebel armies, in addition to the straightforwardness of the Yellow King of the Great General's Mansion, the one who can take out so many crossbows as an ambush means at once is the Taiping Army, which is known to be able to produce a large number of self-produced ordnance and is not stingy with arrows at all.

He did not hesitate to leave most of the people who were caught in the melee, and immediately took a small number of people around him to turn around and leave; Like an ordinary soldier who had broken up, it seemed to be chaotic and headed towards the ridge on the side of the road. This is also the experience and means by which he once escaped with his life under the outflanking and encirclement of the official army.

But before they had gone far, they were in the midst of the screams of the startled men and the neighing of their mounts, and saw that several riders who had rushed to the front of the road had already fallen head-on to the dirt with the broken forefeet of their horses; But he stepped into the hoof pit that was specially trapped in the horse.

"It's so good to wait left and right, and it's finally been waiting for me all the way."

At this moment a clear voice resounded among the reeds on the bank of the river, along with many ambush soldiers with shining swords and spears.

Until this moment, Wang Langzuo did not hesitate to ride his horse and turn his head, fiercely whip his mount, raise his front hooves, jump hard, jump into the shallow river and swim towards the opposite bank.

However, before he swam across the middle of the river with his men and horses, he saw several flat-bed riverboats not far away, which were also soldiers with bows, crossbows, forks, and hooks. At this moment, he couldn't help but completely despair, letting go of his exhausted mount and letting himself slowly sink into the icy river.

At the very least, he could choose how to end his life.

Only a moment later, he was awakened by the stinging pain and was about to die, but he had been caught in a large net, and he was slowly dragged towards the shore by a few hooks hooking his fleshy body.

After most of the day, the town of Shangdu, which formed a distant confrontation with the Shanyang side. Several horsemen galloped in, and it turned into a report presented in a makeshift military tent.

"Report, the dust has settled on the side of Xuyi City. The corresponding capture has been loaded onto the ship and is being escorted over quickly. ”

"What is this reason and reasoning?"

Adjutant General Zhu Cun first glanced at the contents of the emergency report, and couldn't help but stand up and exclaim.

。。。。。。

In the rear grain station of Yangtze County and the garrison of the sailor, several women with special identities in the Taiping Army were also listening to all kinds of news coming to the front with different faces and expressions.

Among them, Cui Wanting, a tall, fair-skinned and beautiful female official of Sizan, suddenly got a notice and sued on the spot and walked out; Then, outside the gate of a courtyard, without a good face or voice, he said to a visitor who looked to be dressed as a servant:

"Tell me, what are the plans and thoughts of the etiquette envoy? But I remembered that there was a daughter like me. If you want to find out from here, then don't say. The little lady hasn't officially married yet. ”

"As a subordinate of the king, it is normal for people to greet the little lady on their behalf, but the etiquette makes it natural to care about the situation of the six mothers today. This time, it is to send a proper utensils by the way.,There are also a number of financial silks.,I hope to be able to use it well.。。 ”

But the servant woman did not care.

"What kind of idea is this fight, my lord, is it possible that even I am in his calculations?"

Cui Wanting sneered more and more unapologetically.
