Not long after Xiao Chaogui led the front army, Ulantai summoned the general army of the three towns handed over to him by Saishan'a to avenge the death of his younger brother in Liangshan Village.

The Ulantai soldiers, with a total of more than 12,000 people, divided into four routes, took Xinwei, the northeast gate of Jintian Village, as the target of the attack. At this time, the Taiping army in the Jintian area had a total of 15,000 soldiers, 4,000 people in the western Shuangji Mountain and Zhuzi Gorge, and Feng Yunshan led the defense of the Xiangrong Division; There are 4,000 people in Liangshan in the southeast, and Shi Dakai is responsible for transferring the old and young of Jintian Village, ready to transfer to Yong'an at any time; There are also 4,000 people in Xinwei in the northeast, led by Wei Changhui to defend the Ulantai Department, and finally there are 3,000 people in the center, and Yang Xiuqing is in charge of supporting the departments as a reserve at any time.

Xinwei is a plain without danger to defend, can only be built near the river, and bamboo sticks are embedded at the intersection of paddy fields for defense. Ulantai was three times the strength of Wei Changhui, and adopted the method of advancing in unison to break through each one, and pulled out seven Taiping army camps in one day. The last camp to be breached was the brigade commander Huang Yizhen who was in charge of defense, this person was as timid as a mouse, and the Qing army fled before it arrived, giving up the camp to the Qing army.

Yang Xiuqing learned of the military situation and knew that the situation was serious, so he immediately led the reserve team to the Xinwei front line to supervise the battle.

"Where is Huang Yizhen?" As soon as Yang Xiuqing entered Wei Changhui's barracks, he shouted the name of the deserter. He had always been calm, but now he showed a rare rage.

"Don't take that damn guy up yet!" Wei Changhui accompanied him and ordered his subordinates.

It didn't take long for Huang Yizhen, who was tied up by five flowers, to be sent to Wei Changhui's barracks. He fell on his knees, knowing the weight of his sin, trembling all over, and bowing his head to wait for it to fall.

Yang Xiuqing was unusual, strode forward, picked up his arm and gave him a few big ear scrapers. "The camp in the middle of Xinwei is the largest and strongest of your camp, and you kid actually fled without a fight. If you escape, the brothers who broke through the front line on the left and right sides will have to retreat, and half of the land in Xinwei will fall into the hands of the Qing demons. Even if you kid hold on for half a day, the reinforcements behind will arrive, and this will not happen. ”

"Yes, I'm guilty, I'm damned, I saw that the six camps in front of me were all breached by Ulantai. I was scared and wanted to save a few more brothers, so 。。。。。。 Huang Yizhen kowtowed again and again, but his mouth was distinguished.

"Want to save a few more brothers? It's because you're afraid of death. Hu Yihuang, the military commander under Yang Xiuqing, sneered on the side.

"Marshal Hu, what do you think this guy should be guilty of and how to punish him?" Yang Xiuqing glared at Huang Yizhen, and his eyes revealed murderous intent.

"Huang Yizhen disobeyed the military order, fled from the battle, feared the enemy like a tiger, disturbed the morale of the army, and every one of them should be punished with death." Hu Yihuang gritted his teeth and said, he also hated such a bad seed.

"Spare your life, Xiao Junshi, spare your life!" Huang Yizhen was so frightened that his eyes secretly glanced at Wei Changhui.

Wei Changhui coughed dryly, this Huang Yizhen is still his distant cousin, although his ability is not good, he is still relatively loyal to himself. He approached Yang Xiuqing in small steps and pleaded softly: "Huang Yizhen should be killed, but now that the military situation is urgent, I have demoted him by three levels and demoted him to the rank of captain." If Xiao Junshi is still not satisfied, he can give him another fifty military sticks as a warning. For my sake, let's take his life. ”

After Qin Rigang recovered from his injury, he was transferred to Xinwei, and at this time he was also under Wei Changhui's account. When he saw Wei Changhui pleading, he also echoed: "Huang Yizhen deserves to be beheaded for his crimes, but now is the time to employ people, and he is also an old brother in the sect. ”

Yang Xiuqing glanced at the two of them coldly, Huang Yizhen, as a brigade commander, could be regarded as a middle-level officer in the Heavenly Kingdom. If Wei Changhui agreed, this person would be killed, but at this time he did not agree, it stands to reason that it should be handed over to Hong Xiuquan to judge, after all, Huang Yizhen is directly under Wei Changhui, and it is not reasonable for him to rashly cross Wei to kill his subordinates. Wei Changhui, as the deputy military advisor of the Heavenly Kingdom, is not low.

Suddenly, Yang Xiuqing convulsed, foamed at the mouth, and fell down. Everyone was surprised, this is "the Heavenly Father is going down to earth". Everyone fell to their knees and waited for the Father's fate.

Yang Xiuqing stood up suddenly, his expression was solemn, and in the tone of the Heavenly Father, he read in his mouth: "Huang Yizhen rebelled against the order, and the sin under the clouds and snow was intolerable." Dare to hide from the sky and have no faith, and the two grasses in the battle retreat heroes. The true god can create mountains, rivers and seas, and he doesn't believe in what he does. You all obey the commandments of heaven, and go against the same to suppress endless crimes. (Two grasses are half-hearted, unfaithful to the Father; Snow in the clouds refers to a knife that cuts off the head, which means to kill the head. ）

Yang Xiuqing executed Huang Yizhen in the way that his Heavenly Father descended to earth, and everyone was stunned in their hearts, which had a great shocking effect. This shows that Yang Xiuqing has the power of life and death in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, as long as the identity of the Heavenly Father is revealed, no one can stop him, including Hong Xiuquan.

A few days later, under the fierce attack of Ulantai, the battle in Xinwei became even more tragic. Under the desperate defense of Yang Xiuqing and others, the battle line was barely maintained, but most of Xinwei had been captured by Ulantai.

The fierce fighting forced Yang Xiuqing to consider transferring troops from two other places to support. He couldn't adjust Shi Dakai's soldiers, that was the last hope for breaking through. The only thing left is Feng Yunshan, the place he defended is far away from Jintian, and it is difficult to supply grain and grass, and secondly, the defense over there is a natural danger and it is advantageous, and Xiang Rongbu has not taken action recently. After thinking about it, Yang Xiuqing weighed it again and again, and still transferred 2,000 people from Feng Yunshan's department to support Xinwei.

The cunning Xiang Rong smelled the fighter plane, and after the 2,000 people on the Western Front were transferred, he joined forces with Ba Qingde from the capital, and a total of more than 6,000 people surrounded Zhuzi Gorge. Subsequently, the Qing troops were divided into many groups and attacked the key passes in various places. The Taiping army had already set up an ambush in the Piggy Gorge to intercept it. When the Qing army attacked, the Taiping army used wood and stone, guns and cannons, and fought back bravely. Due to the narrow mountain road, the Qing army was in a dilemma and suffered heavy casualties.

And Xiang Rong, the old fox, took advantage of the clouds and mist on the mountain to sneak to the Harrier Po Stone behind the Piggy Gorge, and held an elevated cannon to bombard the Taiping army camp. Due to the enemy on his belly and back, Feng Yuanshan had to command the team to withdraw from Zhuzi Gorge and retreat to the camp of Shuangji Mountain.

Then Xiang Rong attacked Shuangji Mountain non-stop, I don't know if it was the ancestral tomb smoke and shit, the Qing army's artillery fire hit a watchtower and caught fire, resulting in the explosion of the gunpowder barrel, the grain depot was destroyed, and Feng Yunshan could only abandon the camp and retreat.

In one day, the Western Front was lost, and the Taiping army fell into fear and panic.

Hong Xiuquan, who has never asked about military affairs, also realized the danger, and had to issue an edict to comfort and encourage the soldiers: all armies and battalions are soldiers and generals, bold and joyful, and look forward with one heart and one mind. The true god can create mountains, rivers and seas, let the demon come, the heaven and the earth will be surrounded by nets, and the soldiers will open their hearts. Patrol day and night is strictly prepared, planning and planning at night, Yue Fei broke 100,000 by 500, not to mention the demon extermination. (It is a set of spiritual victory methods, inspiring and comforting everyone)

The eastern and western fronts were attacked by the Qing army at the same time, and Yang Xiuqing felt that the situation was grim, so he wrote to Xiao Chaogui and asked him to take Yong'an quickly. Once the defensive line is lost again, the Taiping army will no longer have the initiative, and they will not face a breakthrough, but a flight.
