Bao Chao, as the first fierce general of the Hunan Army after Li Xubin, he and most of the major generals in the later period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have fought against each other, and the record is quite brilliant, and excellent generals like Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng have no way to take him.

Although he led his troops to save Dorona, he did not immediately go into battle.

"Don't panic, wait for my order!" Bao Chao has always been very calm when he goes into battle.

When the guns on Yang Xiaoshan's side were thinned, Bao Chao immediately judged that the Taiping army should be in a break period, and it was estimated that he was tired. So he immediately ordered an attack and pounced on Yang Xiaoshan.

Bao Chao saw it very accurately and repelled Dolon Abe, and the soldiers in front just wanted to take a rest, and some of them went to drag the dead horses in front of the trench without the order, and wanted to pull them back to eat meat.

At this time, Bao Chao's guns rang out in unison, and he stabbed out in an oblique stab.

Although the Hunan army did not have the Huai army wearing foreign guns and cannons, half of them were equipped with foreign guns, and Bao Chao was especially numerous. They advanced very fast, and before Yang Xiaoshan could react here, several brothers who climbed over the trench to drag the horse's corpse were shot and killed.

"Kill the long hair!" Bao Chao shook his arm and waved his knife and shouted loudly.

The fire of the platoon guns immediately suppressed the Taiping army, and the situation on the battlefield was immediately reversed.

Yang Xiaoshan originally wanted to command Li Chunfa to come to the rescue, but he immediately realized that this new force was extremely powerful, and Li Chunfa was probably not an opponent. So he took his own soldiers and personally came to meet Bao Chao, the bitter hand of the Taiping Army.

Bao Chao's speed exceeded Yang Xiaoshan's imagination, when he rushed to the edge of the trench, Bao Chao had already led his troops to break through the trench and rush straight towards the center of the Taiping army, this is Bao Chao's specialty, once the Taiping army is divided, the Taiping army will have no possibility of turning the tables, and will only be eaten in one bite.

"Ignition! Raleigh! Yang Xiaoshan was also shocked into a cold sweat, fortunately it was not too late, there were not only bamboo tips in this trench, but also bomb mines, and a lot of various flammable straws.

If it was any longer, it would be too late for Bao Chao's Thunder Army to cross the trench.

With the loud sound of the explosion, the explosion shook the ground, and a large number of Thunder Army fell in a pool of blood. Bao Chao suffered the biggest loss in history, and it was precisely because his movements were too fast and neat that this loss was particularly miserable.

The morale of the Taiping army was greatly boosted. Yang Xiaoshan immediately shouted generously: "Brothers, kill the demons!" ”

The counterattack of the Taiping army was very resolute, and although Bao Chao was taken by surprise, he was not chaotic in the face of danger, and still commanded his Ting army to retreat in an orderly manner, not as badly as Dolonga was defeated.

Yang Xiaoshan attracted the team of Duo Bao and the two, and immediately sent out the signal to attack Jiang Xinzhou.

In fact, if he blocks one more thing, he is betting that Zeng Guoquan of Yuhuatai will never rush out. If Zeng Guoquan led his 30,000 defenders to leave the incomparably sturdy "turtle shell", Yang Xiaoshan's entire plan would be in vain.

Li Xiucheng and Tang Zhengcai received Yang Xiaoshan's signal, and immediately led their troops out of the north gate and went straight to Peng Yulin's army in Jiangxinzhou.

Since the siege of Tianjing, Peng Yulin's navy was basically useless, but the Taiping army's warships were destroyed, and they were in a stage where there was no war to fight, except for transporting grain from the Yangtze River port, there was no other role. Therefore, for the sake of Dora food, all the guns and shells on the ship were unloaded, and only some fortifications were arranged in Jiangxinzhou.

Tang Zhengcai's sailors moved very quickly, dragging thousands of small sail boards and rushing towards the river. Some water ghost teams even went directly down the river, swam under Peng Yulin's boat, and scuttled the bottom of their boat.

Yang Xiaoshan's move went very smoothly. Zeng Guofan never expected that the main direction of attack of the Taiping Army was actually Jiang Xinzhou.

Peng Yulin panicked, dozens of his main warships all stopped at the ferry port of Jiangxinzhou, and saw the Taiping army of Wuyang and Wuyang swimming over with small windsurfing boards, they used hook nets to catch their boats and climbed up, trying to fight their own sailors hand-to-hand. Although Jiang Xinzhou's several artillery pieces were constantly firing, there were too many people rushing over by the Taiping army, and there were tens of thousands, which was not something that a few cannons could stop.

Zeng Guofan didn't expect that the Taiping army's target was Jiang Xinzhou, because according to his judgment, as long as the Taiping army took this place, they would not dare to attack strongly, because they would fall into a state of flanking on both sides.

But he doesn't have a mobile team in his hands now, and Duolonga and Bao Chao are both entangled with Yang Xiaoshan's team in the south of the city. The only team that can rescue is the 30,000 people of Zeng Guoquan in Yuhuatai.

Zeng Guofan wrote an order to his younger brother, asking him to come over for reinforcements, even if he didn't go to Jiangxinzhou, at least he would come to the south of the city to reinforce Duobao and the two. Of course, he knew that this younger brother was a bit of a shaft, and he treated Yuhuatai as his home, and refused to leave, so he wrote one more sentence, "Advance and retreat, change unexpectedly, and live soldiers; Shrink in one place, the old man is stubborn, and the soldier is also stupid. "It means that he should come over quickly, and don't be a dumb soldier.

But Zeng Guoquan is really "stupid", since he set up a camp in Yuhuatai and dug a deep trench, he has been lying here, and he is dedicated to putting an "iron bucket array" here. Previously, the loyal king Li Xiucheng's 200,000 troops did not break through here, so he made up his mind to live or die in Yuhuatai. After that, the Taiping army led the snake out of the hole in various ways, and he completely ignored it. Zeng Guoquan was even more stupid than his brother Zeng Guofan, so he recognized one, dug ditches and built camps until the entire Tianjing was besieged to death, and he did not leave even when the plague occurred in Yuhuatai.

Zeng Guoquan's stupid fighting style did make the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom suffer enough, but under Yang Xiaoshan's current tactics, the Hunan army suffered from it. Zeng Guoquan really refused to come out, he was very stubborn, thinking that the Taiping Army might be trying to lure him out of Yuhuatai, that is, to be a "dumb soldier", and completely ignored Zeng Guofan's call.

Yang Xiaoshan won the bet, as long as Zeng Guoquan came out to support, there was no way to go north and south, the Taiping army would not be able to bear it, and it would collapse immediately.

Don't look at Yang Xiaoshan who just repelled Bao Chao, he just took advantage of the geographical advantage of the deep trench, otherwise without this, the Taiping army is likely to suffer a big loss.

"King Dong, the chief soldier who caught a Qing demon, look!" Li Chunfa, the king of Shun, had just finished cleaning the battlefield and found a seriously wounded general soldier, probably in his forties, so he tied him up and asked the king of the east to send him down. Li Chunfa kicked him behind his knees, making him kneel in front of Yang Xiaoshan.

Yang Xiaoshan looked at the captured general soldier, although his body was dripping with blood and his arms and thighs were painted, but his spirit seemed to be very stubborn, his head was high, and he refused to say a soft word. Yang Xiaoshan was a little surprised, there were few generals with such a kind in the Qing army, so he became curious.

"What's your name?" Yang Xiaoshan asked.

"Don't talk nonsense, kill me, I will never surrender." The captured general soldier's eyes were closed, and he only wanted to die quickly.

"When he dies, he is still hard-mouthed, King Dong, I will kill him!" Li Chunfa was a little angry, and he pulled out his waist knife and was about to cut off his head.

"Wait." Yang Xiaoshan motioned for Li Chunfa to withdraw, and then stared at the captured general soldier and said: "I respect you as a man, leave a name before you die, at least one name on your grave is for your descendants to worship." ”

"This general military line does not change its name, sits or changes its surname, and its surname is Feng Mingzicai. Feng Zicai is me. Feng Zicai glanced at Yang Xiaoshan and reported his name. Feng Zicai was originally just a businessman, but when he was doing business, he was robbed by the Heaven and Earth Society, so he made a grudge against the anti-Qing team. So in his thirties, he gave up his business and joined the Qing army, and became a general soldier step by step by relying on his military exploits. He was in the camp in Jiangbei and fought with Yang Xiaoshan, but he was defeated that time, and he escaped by luck, saving his life. This time, Feng Zicai made a comeback, taking advantage of Wu Ruxiao's departure from Zhenjiang and the lack of defense, he led his troops to capture Zhenjiang from Jiangbei, and then brought more than 2,000 people to support Zeng Guofan. Zeng Guofan sent him to Bao Chao as a deputy general.

Yang Xiaoshan was stunned, isn't this the national hero Feng Zicai who fought against the French army in Zhennan Pass? This person's deeds are written in textbooks, but you can't kill them.

"Take him back, treat his wounds first, take care of his life, and don't abuse him." Yang Xiaoshan commanded.

"King Dong, this guy can kill a lot of our brothers。。。。。。" Li Chunfa's head hadn't turned for a while.

"Don't say it, do what I want." Yang Xiaoshan interrupted him and said immediately.

Feng Zicai was helped up by the two Taiping Army brothers, and when he walked past Yang Xiaoshan, he couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you kill me?" Give me back treatment? I will never go to you to grow hair. ”

"There's no reason for that, just because of your name." Yang Xiaoshan told the truth.

But Feng Zicai didn't believe this reason at all.
