After only two days in Quanzhou, the Taiping army secretly buried the remains of Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, blew up the Luban Bridge, and marched to Hunan with all their might.

In order to catch up with the speed, Yang Xiuqing asked Wei Changhui to set off from the waterway with a lot of baggage, Xiao Chaogui and Yang Xiaoshan led the troops to protect by land on the left and right sides, and Shi Dakai was broken at the tail.

The waterway was moving relatively fast, and at first it went hand in hand with the land route. A few days later, Wei Changhui's fleet came to the front of the team, and this place was the dangerous place of Lingyidu in Yang Xiaoshan Pass. At this time, Jiang Zhongyuan was waiting for the Taiping Army to get into the cage he had designed.

In just a few days, Lingyidu has changed dramatically, and the water is densely covered with wooden piles, making the river impassable. He also skillfully used a piece of land that burst into the water on the west bank, turned him into a camp in the water, and set up dozens of artillery pieces on it. Like a big floodgate, it stuck on the entire riverway.

"Big brother, will this long hair come? We've been busy for so long, but don't work in vain. Jiang Zhongyuan's younger brother Jiang Zhongjun was still a little suspicious, this time Jiang Zhongyuan had invested in almost all the group exercises that he could bring from his hometown, a total of 2,000 people.

"This is the only way for Changmao, it only takes four or five days to go to Changsha from here, they will definitely come, you can rest assured. I also informed Admiral Yu that as long as we block the way of Longhair here and let him launch an offensive from behind, if we succeed, Lingyidu will be the death of Longhair. Jiang Zhongyuan is very confident and regards this place as a place where he has made contributions.

Since there was no advance force on land to explore, the Taiping army's fleet sailed smoothly all the way, and unknowingly got into Jiang Zhongyuan's pocket.

"What? There is a camp of the Qing army stuck in front of the river? Wei Changhui was like a slap in the face when he heard the news. Without the protection of the shore team, the ships of the Taiping Army are all transport ships, and they have no ability to protect themselves at all, which is tantamount to a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger.

"Hurry back, don't be dumplings made by the Qing demon." Wei Changhui still has this adaptability, and he immediately ordered.

But not long after, the flotilla came with bad news, and the back road was cut off by the boulders on the mountain of the Qing army, except for a small number of ships retreating, all the others were intercepted by the Qing army.

More than 300 rafts of the Taiping army were stuck in Lingyidu, and the cannons on the camps in the water of the Qing army roared, and hundreds of shells poured into the fleet of the Taiping army. The Taiping troops on the boat were really miserable, they were killed by the bombing, many people fell into the water and drowned, and the cries and screams rang out.

"King Bei, think of a way, think of a way." The entourage was also anxious, but they had no power to fight back, and they were completely passively beaten. The ships of the Taiping Army sank one after another, and a large number of baggage fell into the water, which were all belongings that the Taiping Army had managed to accumulate.

Fortunately, the artillery of the Qing army could not be fired all the time, and the red-hot barrel needed to be cooled down, at this interval. Yang Xiaoshan rushed over from the west bank with three hundred light horsemen, and Lingyidu was the place he had been thinking about. He didn't expect Wei Changhui's boat to drive so fast that the team on the shore couldn't keep up, so he led three hundred cavalry to catch up.

But it was still too late, although it was only a few days, the arrangement of the Qing army here had already played a huge role. More than 300 ships could not advance or retreat, like lambs waiting for the slaughter of the Qing army.

Yang Xiaoshan led people to board a small boat near the shore, "Everyone quickly put the boats together, huddle together, and connect them." The big boat is on the outside and the small boat is on the inside. Yang Xiaoshan commanded loudly.

Under Xiaoshan's order, everyone did according to his method, and hundreds of boats leaned together into a huge water barracks, and the cannonballs of the Qing army smashed on the big boats, which would not sink if they were not critical, and the small boats on the inside were protected. And the boats formed a pontoon bridge over the river. The wounded and supplies can be transferred to the shore first.

At the last moment, Yang Xiaoshan saved the Taiping Army in chaos, and the military spirit that was about to collapse just now gradually stabilized.

Jiang Zhongyuan jumped to his feet when he saw it, he could sink all these ships, why did the Taiping Army suddenly think of such an ingenious arrangement, which instantly reversed the situation.

"Big brother, there are masters in this long hair. I'm afraid our plans are going to fall through. The younger brother Jiang Zhongjun was a little discouraged.

"I'm afraid it's him again!" Jiang Zhongyuan still remembers Yang Xiaoshan vividly, he could have done something in Yong'an, but he was planted in Yang Xiaoshan's hands and missed the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. "Don't worry, as long as we're stuck here, it's a big deal. Admiral Yu's men and horses will arrive in a few days, surround the bandits here, and if they drag on for a few more days, they will be finished here. Jiang Zhongyuan is still very confident, and it is only a matter of time before the Taiping army is eliminated.

In less than a day, the follow-up brigade of the Taiping Army basically arrived at Lingyidu. Yang Xiuqing looked at the situation in front of her, her brows furrowed deeper than before.

"No wonder Xiaoshan will disobey my orders, this Lingyidu is really a fierce place, I am wrong to blame Xiaoshan, and I will not give up here no matter what." Yang Xiuqing said silently in her heart. It is better to see than to hear, and only by seeing it with your own eyes can you understand the mood of others.

"Let the king of the west and the prince immediately build positions on both sides of the strait, place artillery, and prevent the Qing army from coming to attack." Yang Xiuqing immediately ordered. He was very calm, knowing that the Qing army's camp in the river would definitely not be able to defeat for a while, and it was the right thing to defend in time.

Sure enough, as Yang Xiuqing expected, Jiang Zhongyuan came to attack with men and horses that night, in a vain attempt to burn the boats in the river in one fell swoop. As a result, the Taiping army had already prepared, and the two sides suffered casualties on both sides, and the Taiping army repelled Jiang Zhongyuan, who came to sneak attack, and temporarily stabilized the position in Lingyidu.

Yang Xiuqing looked at the map on the table, and a cold sweat was already breaking out behind her back. From the mouth of the spies, it was learned that there was Hunan Admiral Yu Wanqing on the east bank with 5,000 men and horses, and there were still about two days to go. On the west bank, there is Hechun and Liu Changqing with 6,000 people, and the distance is about four or five days. (After Saishana came to Guilin, at his urging, Xiang Rong sent Hechun out again, about 4,000 people.) ）

There were interceptions in front of them, and there were chasing soldiers after that, and the Taiping army was in the field, and the situation was extremely dangerous. "We must evacuate this place now, not by water. If you take the rugged mountain roads on the east and west banks, the speed of the march will be much slower, and if you want to go to Changsha, it will be much farther. Yang Xiuqing was very conflicted.

"Let Wei Changhui take over Xiaoshan's position, Xiaoshan will go to the east bank to defend, and you must not let Yu Wanqing's team enter Lingyidu. The west bank asked Shi Da to drive to stop Hechun's team. "Yang Xiuqing has temporarily made a contingency method, and the most important thing now is that no matter what method is used, the enemy cannot be allowed to converge at Lingyidu.
