Chapter Ninety-Five: The Crossing of the Guijiang River

After a white flag was erected on the southern earthen city, a cavalry team of more than 200 people came out of nowhere and walked towards the southern earthen city of the ferry.

Jiang Zhongyuan was a little puzzled, where did this cavalry team come from? They wore yellow turbans and yellow Taiping flags, and they looked no different from the Taiping Army, but Jiang Zhongyuan felt that they were definitely not long-haired, and the riding boots on their feet revealed their identities.

Seeing the identity of this cavalry team clearly, Jiang Zhongyuan became even more depressed, he was the real team that wanted to blend into the ferry fortress. What the hell is this Qing cavalry? To compete with yourself?

Jiang Zhongyuan looked at the leader of the cavalry team carefully, how could he look so familiar? But he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

"My lord, the leader seems to be the guard officer next to the Ulan Tai Commander." A sharp-eyed soldier reminded.

Jiang Zhongyuan finally remembered that when Sai Shoufu was in a meeting, Ulantai was standing behind this guard officer, and the beard on his face was the most obvious feature.

"I can't imagine that Lord Ulantai still cares about this credit with me。。。。。。。" Jiang Zhongyuan said with a wry smile, he had heard a legend in the army that Ulantai was narrow-minded and rejoiced in his achievements, and he finally saw it today.

"My lord, what shall we do now?" The pro-soldier asked.

"What else can we do if people don't take us to play? Stand by now. Jiang Zhongyuan said helplessly, he is a second-grade member of the imperial court, and he is only a seventh-grade small county, what else can he do? I can only pinch my nose and admit it.

Ulanfu was Ulantai's bodyguard, and he was ordered by Lord Tutong to lead a team of cavalry to compete for the first victory in taking the ferry. It turned out that after the meeting at Saishana that day, Ulantai pulled Li Taizhou aside, threatened with one hand and wooed him with the other, and forced him to agree to meet his cavalry team in Tucheng in the south. If he does so, he promises to give him a six-rank Beijing official to do, and if he doesn't cooperate, he will clean up his whole family after the battle.

Li Taizhou is a local tyrant in Tongpan Village, but he is just a little ant in front of Ulantai, and he doesn't dare to offend a high-ranking official like Ulantai if he gives Li Taizhou ten dares. After weighing the pros and cons, this decision was very easy to choose, that is, to sell Jiang Zhongyuan.

When Ulanfu saw that the gate of Tucheng was open, he was overjoyed, and impatiently urged the cavalry behind him to hurry up and immediately enter Tucheng.

But he could only be happy for so long, when the last Qing cavalry entered Tucheng, the city gate was slammed shut by someone, and Ulanfu and other cavalry immediately fell into a panic.

"Li Taizhou! You come out for me! What's going on? Ulanfu shouted, and the city was empty, only the heavy gates blocked their way. Now the fool knows that he has been tricked.

"Qing Demon, are you looking for him?" Yang Xiaoshan grabbed Li Taizhou, who was tied up by five flowers, and stood up from the top of the city wall. Immediately after that, archers with strong bows sprung up, and rows of shiny arrows aimed straight at the Qing cavalry below.

How did Yang Xiaoshan end up here? It's a bit of a coincidence here. At that time, when Yang Xiaoshan was inspecting Mojia Village, the village elder Mo told him something. The night before yesterday, Lao Mo came out to relieve himself, and when he heard some movement outside, he thought it was a thief and ran out to see. I didn't find the thief, but I found a familiar figure, who looked like Li Taizhou from the next village. He was a little suspicious at that time, because he heard that Li Taizhou had run away before the Taiping army came, and it was too strange to appear here at this time. (Actually, Li Taizhou slipped out to report his brother's situation to Yao Ying.) οΌ‰

These days, the Taiping Army has released the wind to strictly investigate the traitors in various villages and villages, and Lao Mo wanted to report this matter at that time, but he was suffering from the fact that the whole thing was just his own speculation and there was no evidence, and he was afraid of causing trouble to himself by reporting it out of thin air. Fortunately, when I saw Yang Xiaoshan, Lao Mo still had a very good impression of Xiaoshan, and Xiaoshan persuaded them to go home and divide the fields, so he told Xiaoshan about the situation.

Yang Xiaoshan did not dare to slack off when he got the news, and immediately led people to Tongpan Village to investigate the situation in Li Taizhou. When he arrived in Tongpan Village, he didn't see Li Taizhou, but he learned from other villagers that his younger brother Li Taiyou was working as a couple at the Guijiang Ferry. Xiaoshan guessed that Li Taizhou was probably with his younger brother, and hurried to the ferry.

When they arrived at the ferry, Yang Xiaoshan immediately arrested Li Taizhou, Li Taiyou and their subordinates. At first, Li Taizhou and Li Taiyou did not admit that they were the spies of the Qing Demon, until they found Dalin's body from their barracks. Faced with ironclad facts, the Li brothers knew that they could not deny it, so they confessed the plan of the Qing army.

After Yang Xiaoshan listened, he felt a chill in his back, and he was in a cold sweat at that time. I was secretly glad that I was fortunate to arrive in time, if it was a little later, once the ferry fell into the hands of the Qing army, the entire Taiping army would collapse, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Now that he knew the plan of the Qing army, Yang Xiaoshan first immediately reported to the king of the east what happened at the ferry, and then sent a letter to the king of the west and the king of the wings to ask them to pay attention to defending the road leading to the direction of the ferry on the north and south sides, and finally calculated the plan and deceived the cavalry of the Qing army who came to the joint, and made a plan to close the door and beat the dogs.

This is why Yang Xiaoshan is here, and what happened.

Things came to this point, Ulanfu looked at the black pressure and the bow and arrow aimed at him, knowing that it was pointless to resist at this time, and in the end he just gave his life in vain, he ordered his men to dismount, lay down their weapons, and take them in hand.

And Jiang Zhongyuan outside Tucheng also witnessed all this, there was no movement after Ulanfu's team entered, if Tucheng was captured, it stands to reason that it should be replaced with the banner of the Qing army, but none of this happened, there was only one possibility, Ulanfu and they were arrested.

"Providence, I didn't expect that I would be blessed by misfortune, but Ulanfu fought for merit but fell into the tiger's mouth, God really has eyes." Jiang Zhongyuan said with emotion, feeling that he would live for the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

"My lord, you see, a large number of long-haired reinforcements are coming from the direction of Mojia Village." The soldiers around him reported.

After Yang Xiaoshan's news was sent, Yang Xiuqing was also surprised, he didn't expect that the main direction of attack of the Qing army was actually Guilin Ferry, their courage was really fat, and they wanted to insert nails in Yong'an, this trick was too poisonous. If the Qing army really took the ferry, the fortifications on the periphery of the Taiping army would be really difficult to support, and they would inevitably collapse if they dragged it to the back.

Yang Xiuqing was shocked by Xiaoshan's report, he realized the seriousness of the matter, and urgently ordered Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, to lead his troops to the ferry to assist in the defense, and Xiao Chaogui, the king of the west, and Shi Dakai, the king of wings, intercepted the Qing army's procession to the Guijiang ferry in the north and south respectively.

Looking at the large number of troops of Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, who came to support, Jiang Zhongyuan's mind suddenly became lively, "The inner line of Yong'an is supported by Yong'an City, Mojia Village and Guilin Ferry, and a large number of Feng Yunshan's men and horses are coming from the direction of Mojia Village, Mojia Village must be empty at this moment, and the Taiping Army has not yet discovered its small army." If you go to Mojia Village now, you will definitely be able to kill Changmao, and you can't prevent it. ”

"Let's go! Let's go to Mojia Village! Jiang Zhongyuan figured out the relationship here, and no matter how he thought about it, he felt that he had a great chance of succeeding in a sneak attack now, so he excitedly gave the order to march into Mojia Village.
