The Taiping army behind fell in pieces, and the blood stained the earth red.

"Damn foreign devils, Qing demons colluded with foreigners to kill my brother. Brothers, rush with me. Tan Shaoguang's rear team changed to the front team, and turned around to attack the winning army.

But when the battle came to this, the morale of the Taiping army was no longer high. No matter how Tan Shaoguang rushed, the firepower of the Chang Sheng's army was too strong, and the Taiping army was defeated, but the victory turned into defeat, and they retreated.

The fewer people around Tan Shaoguang fought, the more he fought, and he had to be surrounded and eaten by the victorious army.

Li Shixian saw that Tan Shaoguang's condition was not good, so he led the gun team to rescue him, and bombarded the Changsheng army's serial guns.

The two armies fired at each other, and it was obvious that the guns of the Changsheng army were more dense, and Li Shixian's guns could not shoot at each other, and they were forced to retreat again and again.

Li Shixian finally rescued Tan Shaoguang, who was injured by a shell, and the army of the two had been compressed to a radius of less than ten miles, and every shell of the Qing army was killed and wounded. Xitang River, the Huai army is still crossing the river in a steady stream, Liu Mingchuan took this opportunity to command the Huai army to counterattack the Taiping army, slaughtering countless Taiping brothers with guns, Xitang River, the corpses are like mountains, and the water is dyed red.

"The king, you break through first, I'll cover!" Tan Shaoguang saw that the defeat was irretrievable, and anxiously beckoned Li Shixian to go first.

"Brother, I'll cover up, you go first." Li Shixian naturally refused, he asked himself if he had fought a lifetime and never escaped first.

Liu Mingchuan of the Huai Army and Hua Er of the Chang Shengjun surrounded one after another, and the Taiping Army fell down one by one, seeing that the main force of the Taiping Army in Sufu Province was about to be wiped out here.

Suddenly, a contingent of Taiping troops rushed out from the north, and the sound of dense guns exploded behind the Qing army.

Chang Shengjun's Wall was dumbfounded, Liu Mingchuan of the Huai Army was dumbfounded, and Li Shixian and Tan Shaoguang of the Taiping Army were dumbfounded. On the land of Sufu Province, it has been a long time since the Taiping army has such dense firepower, so why is the Taiping army sacred?

A golden banner of "Yang of the East of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" was erected in front of everyone, and everyone present knew that there was a new King Yang Xiaoshan of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but since the Tianjing Incident, his team has never appeared, which is very mysterious to the Qing army, and the same is true for the Taiping army.

Yang Xiaoshan is extremely famous, and he once beat the Hunan army to the head, but he didn't expect this appearance to appear at this critical moment. Wall's victorious army was first blinded by Yang Xiaoshan's firepower. Wall hurriedly commanded the team to disperse and move closer to the direction of the Huai army.

"How is that possible? Listening to the sound, I am afraid that there is the firepower of 20,000 foreign guns! Liu Mingchuan was shocked, and listening to this gunshot, it was obvious that the commander was very good at commanding, the platoon guns were fired very neatly, and the infantry guns were assembled very carefully.

Li Shixian and Tan Shaoguang's spirits suddenly lifted, and they mobilized their teams to quickly move closer to this reinforcement army from the north.

Liu Mingchuan still wanted to step forward to fight with this mysterious Taiping army, but Li Hongzhang ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops in the rear, so he had no choice but to shrink back with Huaer.

The leader of the 20,000 Taiping army that suddenly came to reinforce was indeed Yang Xiaoshan, the soldiers were from the defenders of Wu Ruxiao in Zhenjiang, and the guns were given by Zuo Zongtang.

Some readers asked, how could this gun be Zuo Zongtang's? This involved the deal reached between Yang Xiaoshan and Zuo Zongtang, Zuo Zongtang borrowed more than 20,000 yuan from Yang Xiaoshan's Shengbao's original team, and Yang Xiaoshan also wrote to Hu Xueyan and asked him to lend Zuo Zongtang 100,000 taels of silver for military expenses. And Zuo Zongtang agreed that Yang Xiaoshan would use his team's quota to buy weapons with foreigners.

Because the foreigners imposed an arms embargo on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, all weapons imported from Shanghai to China had to be accepted by the corresponding troops of the Hunan army, the Huai army, and the Chu army, otherwise they were not allowed to enter the customs. The customs of the Qing court are now handed over to the foreigners, and they are very carefully and strictly, and there is no way to pay bribes, and it is impossible for the Taiping army to obtain large-scale firearms.

Yang Xiaoshan belonged to the independent brigade and did not have many teams, and he was not among the three armies, which was very embarrassing, so Yang Xiaoshan had to use Zuo Zongtang's quota to let Lao Wu buy more than 20,000 foreign guns and more than 100 artillery pieces to arm the defenders of Zhenjiang.

After reaching a deal with Zuo Zongtang, Yang Xiaoshan disappeared, in order to hide his identity, Wei Jun asked his cronies and brothers to take 3,000 people to Henan, Shanxi and other places to find Lai Wenguang, Lan Chengchun and others sent by the British king, so that they could return to Tianjing to rescue after recruiting soldiers.

And Yang Xiaoshan restored his original appearance, came to Zhenjiang to find Lao Wu, returned to the camp of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, raised the banner of his Eastern King, and went south in time to support Li Shixian and Tan Shaoguang and others.

Putting on this familiar robe and wearing a familiar turban, Yang Xiaoshan was full of emotion, before making this decision, he received a letter from the lord of Wulan County, she was pregnant with her own child, because of her physical condition, the imperial doctor has not confirmed the safety of the fetus, so it was not until the eighth month, after the fetus was very stable, he gave him this letter and asked him to go back and wait for the child to be born.

And Yang Xiaoshan can't go back anymore, because he wants to go back to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and do his last effort, Tianjing's wife Su Qiaomei is still waiting for him, Xuanjiao's child Jiye is also waiting for him, the lord of Wulan can only be sorry, this is a bad fate, and he can only silently wish her mother and son the safety in his heart.

Yang Xiaoshan's appearance disrupted the Huai army's original plan, and after thinking about it, Li Hongzhang, who saw that the situation was not good, was still afraid of Yang Xiaoshan's prestige and the powerful firepower he displayed, and ordered the whole army to retreat, wanting to find out the details of Yang Xiaoshan and then exchange fire with the Taiping army.

Li Shixian and Tan Shaoguang, who escaped death, welcomed him back in surprise at Yang Xiaoshan's camp.

"King Dong, you are back, you are not in us, you can be bitter by the Qing Demon Pit." Li Shixian had tears in his eyes, and as soon as Yang Xiaoshan left for a while, the situation on the battlefield took a sharp turn for the worse, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was in turmoil and was in danger.

"King Dong, when you come back, our brothers will have hope." Tan Shaoguang was also very excited, and as soon as he bandaged his wound, he hurriedly came to see Yang Xiaoshan.

"Shixian, Shaoguang, our kingdom of heaven is the most difficult time now, you two are my most trusted brothers, and the future of heaven is also on you." Yang Xiaoshan hugged the shoulders of the two of them tightly, Li Shixian was the old brother he personally recruited into the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Guangxi, although Tan Shaoguang had a relatively short time with him, he was also the last seed of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and he saved himself when he was in trouble in Henan. At the head of the national crisis, there are not many people who can be trusted, but Yang Xiaoshan is the most assured of these two people.

"Shixian, you go to Jinhua, Zhejiang first, and bring the team over there to Tianjing to rescue." Yang Xiaoshan explained to Li Shixian.

"Shaoguang, when you go back to Suzhou, you must guard Suzhou well, and Suzhou must not be lost." Yang Xiaoshan emphasized to Tan Shaoguang.

"East King, what about you? Don't fight with us? The two said in unison.

Yang Xiaoshan patted them on the shoulder, "Tianjing is in danger, I have to go back." ”
