Guo Xing'a, who had torn up the letter for help, sat down in his chair and did not say a word for a long time, but his body had stopped trembling, and the desperate situation even made him forget that he was afraid. After sitting for a long time, Guo Xing'a raised his head and looked at the officers around him in some confusion.

"Bo Ritu, what can you do?" In the end, Goxinga's gaze stopped at Bo Ritu, who raised objections.

"The armies are fighting for merit like flies seeing blood, but no one wants to fight this tough battle, and the general is incompetent!" Bo Ritu shook his head helplessly and lowered his head heavily.

Xiande, Feng Sheng'a and others finally understood, and Bo Ritu's concerns were indeed the truth. It is estimated that everyone is willing to come, but if they really know the news that Guoxinga is under siege, I am afraid that Guoxinga will not be able to wait for a reinforcement even if he is blind. The Qing army has this virtue from top to bottom, and no one can do anything about the current situation.

"Don't worry, my lord, the whole battle situation is still beneficial to the imperial court, it is impossible for Long Hair to besiege our army with a large army for a long time, as long as our army holds on for a period of time, Long Hair will retreat." Feng Sheng'a felt a little sorry for Guo Xing'a, who had already begun to pick his hair, and comforted him.

"It is not a problem for our army to hold on to ammunition for half a month, but what about the morale of the army? How many recruits have been thrown over by Changmao, and now the situation is unfavorable, I am afraid that the army will be unstable! There are handymen watching, Guo Xinga is not afraid that someone will use his head to ask Li Xiucheng for credit, but once the mood is negative, the battle will not be easy to fight.

"Your Excellency, you have done an excellent job of mobilizing before the war, and the soldiers are all hoping to be rewarded for their meritorious service! I can't change for a while. And Longhair hates the people who surrender the most, those who voted for our army will not be spared if they fall into the hands of Longhair, where will there be the thought of throwing Longhair again. Guiwu also stood up to comfort Guoxing.

"What did you say the soldiers were thinking?" The decadent Goxinga seemed to have heard some very enlightening words.

"Meritorious service is rewarded...... Guiwu was startled by Guo Xing's sudden bloody voice.

Guo Xing'a stopped talking, knocked on the table and thought for a long time, and gradually had a smile on his face.

"Show your old age, write a battle report to the Jiangnan battalion! Send it out in a moment! "Goxinga seems to have suddenly recovered.

"My lord, do you still write a letter asking for help?" Xiande felt that Guo Xing'a might have given up on treatment, and was ready to gamble on whether the people in the Jiangnan camp would come to the rescue for the sake of filial piety.

"What kind of help! Our army has achieved its strategic goal, and we ask the Jiangnan battalion to immediately cooperate with the operation. Guo Xing'a was in high spirits again.

"My lord, you ......" Xiande had the impression that Guo Xing'a did not seem to have the right to control the Jiangnan camp.

"Oops! I said that you remember, and the general meaning is as follows: "In accordance with the instructions of Hechun Junmen, our unit has successfully achieved its strategic goal in this river-crossing operation, attracting all the main elites such as long-haired Li Xiucheng, Chen Yucheng, and Zhang Lexing to the southeast of Liuhe in the vicinity of Nanjing, Jiangbei, and western Anhui. Now the defense of Long-haired Nanjing and above is extremely empty, and our army can enter and recover Nanjing, and retreat can annihilate the main force of Long-haired in Liuhe. Please He Chunjunmen, together with the western part of Anhui, have supervised the transfer of friendly troops from all parts of the land to recover the lost territory, and wait for the friendly troops from all walks of life to surround them, and the final general should use the central flowering battle method to attack the friendly army inside and outside, and destroy the main force of Changmao in Liuhe. Guo Xing said all his thoughts.

“…… ...... "Xian Deleng reacted after a while, and everyone understood that Guo Xing'a wanted to turn defeat into victory, and lure other Qing troops to rescue him with merit.

"Don't just write a war report, write a memo!" Guo Xing'a felt that Hechun was not as wasteful as written in the history books, and if his little tricks were seen through to him, he was afraid that it would be bad. Pull Xianfeng in, even if He Chun sees through it, he has to follow himself.

"My lord, the twist is going to be played through the Jiangnan camp, and I met with the Chunjun Gate, I'm afraid that I will have a mustard in the future." Xiande is old and sophisticated, and the meaning of Guoxing Ala Xianfeng coming out to press and spring is too obvious.

"Li Xiucheng is going to take Lao Tzu to chop stuffed dumplings for the New Year, where can he manage so much! Even if you are guilty of pleading in the future, you have to deal with the present and talk about the past! "It's only a few months before Hechun dies, and Guoxing'a, who is on fire, is still free to think about him.

"Huh!" Although Xiande still feels that it is inappropriate, what Guo Xing'a said is indeed reasonable, saving life is the right way, and if you don't offend people, you should discuss it later.

"Don't say it dryly, I also wrote my limerick poem, and gave me the battle flag to stand on the top of the mountain!" Goxinga must use all available resources.

Even if Hechun wants to resist the pressure and not save Guoxing, he can't afford to lose the sin of the imperial battle flag. If Changmao captures the battle flag personally mentioned by Xianfeng's royal pen, it will be to open the bow left and right to draw Xianfeng's face. At that time, Guoxing Adu was martyred, and the blame could only be borne by Hechun, and Hechun would not fail to understand this.

The two battle flags given to Guo Xing'a by Xianfeng Yu, Guo Xing'a has never played them, not cherishing them but feeling ashamed. The two battle flags have a total of eight words, "Yongguan Three Armies, Xiaogan Eight Banners", all of which are good words, but Guo Xing'a knows that a person has also received similar praise, that is, the number one traitor Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui rode alone to save his father, and he won the reputation of "the three armies of the brave crown, the nine sides of filial piety", but the ending was tragic to death. Guo Xing'a didn't know how Xianfeng remembered these two sentences, anyway, he felt unlucky when he saw it for the first time, so he had been hiding it all the time. But this time the fire is in the house, and he can't care about the auspiciousness or unluck, and it is a little pressure to be able to give Hechun a little more pressure.

When the carrier pigeon flew away with the ardent hope of Guoxing'a, the Taiping army launched an attack, which was really a surprise. It was already completely dark, and the Qing army never thought that the Taiping army would launch a night battle. However, the Taiping army has no sense of concealment at all, let alone a sneak attack, not even a surprise attack.

When Xiande was making a sentence, thousands of Taiping soldiers began to assemble in front of the camp gate with torches. Not to mention the Qing army scouts lying on their stomachs in the hiding place between the two armies, even the guards who stood guard for Guoxing'a at the gate of the mountaintop temple saw it. When the neatly arranged Taiping army slowly advanced towards the defense line of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion, the Qing army had already loaded its ammunition and had been aiming for a long time.

Originally, night battles were not good for firearms troops, and it was difficult for soldiers to find targets for shooting at dark nights, but unfortunately the Taiping army helped the Qing army solve this problem very well. Standing on the top of the mountain, Guo Xing'a could clearly see that the Taiping army was a platoon for each pawn and a phalanx for each brigade, and a total of ten phalanxes and two divisions were dispatched. Because the Taiping army lit a torch for every five people, it was just enough to illuminate the people around them, and a simple count of the torches could be counted clearly. As long as the Qing army aimed at the torches, one hit at a time, and even the artillery on the hillside could easily lock on to the target.

The Taiping Army's night offensive lasted about half an hour before it ended hastily. The Qing army's strong firepower is only one of them, and the Taiping army's persistence is the key to victory. After a few rounds of shooting, the Qing army solved all the live targets with torches, and the rest of the people had the cover of night, which was not easy to solve. But for some reason, the Taiping army was very obsessed with torches, which can be said to be one after the other, and people kept picking up the torches that fell on the ground. Even if the torch is extinguished, it will be quickly lit again, and in the end, even the Qing army is a little stunned, these people are simply self-killing. There were still more than 200 meters away from the first line of defense of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion, and more than 1,500 Taiping troops had already been put down, and the Taiping army, which could not bear the casualties, withdrew to the camp in disgrace.

In the Chinese military tent of the Taiping Army, Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng stared at each other and didn't speak, and this time the people were too big. This preemptive plan was drawn up by the two of them, and the torches were also lit by them. Originally, he wanted to intimidate the Qing army and completely break the morale of the Qing army, but he ended up making himself disgraced. The two never expected that the Qing army could be so calm when they were surrounded by forty times the enemy, let alone that the firepower of the Qing army would be so strong. I thought that a thousand torches could scare the Qing army to death, but I was taken aback.

"Daping, tell me about it!" Huang Daping is the person who knows Guoxinga best, and Chen Yucheng thinks it is better to listen to his opinions more.

"Back to the two highnesses, this little demon is extremely cautious in his use of soldiers, and he is also very good at demagoguery, so that it is of little significance to him to use dangerous tricks. This little demon has relied on hard work in all previous battles, and the end ...... The villain thinks that a frontal attack is the right way. Huang Daping has been swept to the end, and as a small soldier, he has no qualifications to call himself the "last general".

"Your Royal Highnesses don't have to be anxious, tomorrow I will lead the cavalry to attack, and the two will send a general with foot soldiers to respond in the rear!" Zhang Lexing, who had just arrived, didn't care too much, and asked for tomorrow's main attack position. He had just observed the battle situation, and felt that the Qing army was just relying on muskets, and he had also faced the green battalion musket team of the Qing army before, as long as the war horses rushed fast, the muskets and other things were just decorations.

"There's Brother Lao Zhang!" Chen Yucheng politely bowed his hand to Zhang Lexing. Zhang Lexing was named Tianyi and the chief general of the Northern Army in the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, but people listened to the title and did not listen to the tune, and Chen Yucheng was not polite. This time, Zhang Lexing also sold Chen Yucheng a lot of face, so he came to join in this fun.

Because the artillery of the Taiping army had not yet arrived, the next morning, Zhang Lexing's army led 2,000 cavalry by the general Zhang Zongyu personally led 2,000 cavalry to the Qing army position of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion, and Chen Yuchengai brought Wu Ruxiao with 10,000 foot soldiers to press the formation behind. Monk Greenqin also has some artillery, and the impact is still the field phalanx, Zhang Zongyu in the absence of artillery fire, straight to the Qing army fortifications, the result is naturally worse than Monk Greenqin. More than 1,000 horses without owners rushed into the village of Longhuying, more than 200 horses became reserve military rations lying in front of the Qing army's position, and Zhang Zongyu withdrew to the Taiping army camp with more than 500 horsemen.

No one blames Zhang Zongyu for being unfavorable in the first battle and dampening the morale of the army, Zhang Zongyu is really desperate. The 2,000 cavalry only came back with more than 500 people, and Zhang Zongyu himself was shot in the arm, and only a piece of flesh was knocked off.

In the morning, Wu Dingcai and Lu Shunde also attacked twice with their infantry, but apart from leaving a rather spectacular corpse on the battlefield, there was still no gain. Wu Ruxiao also took advantage of the strong attack on Shunde to try to climb the mountain and sneak attack in several other directions, but was almost smashed into an idiot by the Qing army.

Huang Daping was promoted to brigade commander again, Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng are now looking at Guoxing's defense line, and they both have a feeling that a dog bites a hedgehog and has no way to speak, and Huang Daping has become understandable for losing his teacher and humiliating the country.

"When the artillery arrives, let's attack again!" Chen Yucheng is no longer awkward, and his attitude towards Li Xiucheng has eased a lot.

"The artillery will arrive in the afternoon, and there is no hurry." Li Xiucheng sighed helplessly.

When Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng had a headache because of biting a hedgehog, He Chun felt a headache even more, and the carrier pigeon had already sent the shameless war report of Guoxing to his desk.
