Chapter 193: The two armies face each other

Jiang Zhongyuan's army defeated Qin Rigang and drove the Taiping army's forces out of Huibei, and morale reached its peak. In order to reward Jiang Zhongyuan, the imperial court gave him the Huolongwu Batu Luyong and gave Jiang Zhongyuan a shot of chicken blood.

Xianfeng also transferred Shu Xing'a, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, to change his guard, and ordered him to set out to Tianjing of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to completely destroy the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

So Jiang Zhongyuan and Yang Xiaoshan's team came to block them and met them in the area of Bengbu, northern Huibei. This is a needle-to-needle, both sides are the most combat-effective armies of each other's camps, this is a narrow road to meet the brave to win. The two armies had a very tacit understanding, did not play false, and chose an open place to set up a position, preparing for a hard-fought bloody battle, that is, to divide the victory and defeat in a short time.

"Big brother, why haven't you gone back to the camp to sleep?" Jiang Zhongjun, who was patrolling late at night, saw that his brother was still sitting outside the camp, looking at the moon and pondering, so he hurriedly came over to ask.

"Zhongjun, what do you think of the Taiping army in front of us?" Jiang Zhongyuan stood up, pulled his younger brother to his side and asked.

"Big brother, this Taiping army is not to be feared, although they are about the same number as us, about 20,000 people, but most of them are new soldiers. It can be seen that many of them are half-grown children who have just become adults, and the childishness on their faces has not disappeared. Our team has been on the battlefield for a long time, and has been fighting since Lingyidu, and we have not yet been defeated, and we will definitely win tomorrow. Jiang Zhongjun was full of confidence and said nonchalantly.

"Zhongjun, you're right, most of them are new recruits, and they don't have the murderous aura of veterans. But the person who led the troops was the puppet king Yang Xiaoshan, who was resourceful and unfathomable. To tell you the truth, big brother, I don't have a bottom in my heart about tomorrow's battle, so I can't sleep. Jiang Zhongyuan looked a little worried, and changed his previous confident demeanor. Now it's not as good as in the past, now that he is a member of the second rank of the imperial court, how many pairs of jealous eyes are staring at him, and the emperor favors him again, and now he can't afford to lose. He knew that no matter how many he had won in the past, a single defeat would wipe out his past exploits and bring him back to his original form.

"Big brother, what's the matter with you? We have defeated the two puppet kings of the bandits one after another, what are we afraid of them? Big brother, you're too careful, what's so great about the guy surnamed Yang? Jiang Zhongjun couldn't believe that Lian Zhan's invincible brother actually had a time when he was afraid of the enemy.

"Zhongjun, you don't know, your brother planted in his hands when he first went to Guangxi Yong'an to help suppress, this person is brave and strategic, since the death of their pseudo-king of the West, he as the former army commander will be killed from Changsha to Nanjing, the blade is pointed, overcoming thorns and thorns, invincible. Among the bandits, your brother is not afraid of anyone, but this Yang Xiaoshan, your brother really doesn't know how to deal with him. Jiang Zhongyuan said with emotion.

"Big brother! Aren't we already in a position, let's just fight with him, not afraid of any conspiracy and tricks from him, just be upright, soldier to soldier and general to fight with him, I don't believe that our hundred battles can still beat his recruit Gua Wazi, that Yang Xiaoshan Even if Zhuge Liang is reincarnated, he is just a person, is it possible that he can become a god, and he can also sprinkle beans into soldiers, and make a heavenly soldier in the future? After all, Jiang Zhongjun is young, and no one is convinced by his arrogance.

"Loyal 。。。。。。" Jiang Zhongyuan wanted to say something more.

Jiang Zhongjun interrupted impatiently: "Big brother, where are your former heroes?" Look at my little brother tomorrow, I will lead the troops to charge their Chinese army tomorrow, I don't believe that this Yang Xiaoshan has three heads and six arms, and a charge will defeat him. ”

Jiang Zhongyuan knows his younger brother's character too well, he is brave and brave, leading the soldiers to take the lead. Every time he charges forward, he never frowns, he has never suffered a loss in the war with him, no matter how hard the formation is, he dares to rush up, most battles are won in this way, I hope this time is no exception.

The big war is coming, it is impossible for the Taiping army not to be nervous, this is a fateful battle, behind it is Tianjing, the Taiping army has no way to retreat, this battle must be won.

"Xiucheng, you're here too?" Chen Yucheng saw that Li Xiucheng was also walking towards Yang Xiaoshan's tent, and walked forward quickly.

"Yucheng, you're here too! You also came to find the son? Li Xiucheng was surprised, as the main generals of the left and right armies of the front army, they all came to Yang Xiaoshan at the same time.

"What are you looking for?" Chen Yucheng couldn't help but say.

"It's not for tomorrow's battle, the prince just made the usual arrangements, and we didn't hold a military meeting in advance for such a critical battle, we don't have a bottom in our hearts." Li Xiucheng was a little uncertain.

"I'm also for this, if we were all old brothers from Guangxi now, I wouldn't come, but now it's different. We are all new soldiers, and although we have been training for more than a month, these people can only fight with the wind when they are in battle for the first time. A tough battle is estimated to be dangerous, and it may not be able to withstand the collapse at a critical moment. Chen Yucheng was also worried.

"Even you say so, I think the same as you think in my heart, you have also seen the soldiers on the other side, at first glance, they are veterans, murderous, so I came to the prince and said, so I can settle down." Everyone has inexplicable confidence in the prince, as long as the prince thinks it is feasible, everyone dares to rush to the sea of swords.

"The old brothers were all taken away by Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang, and I don't know if their Northern Expedition will go well." Chen Yucheng really hoped that Lin and Li would succeed in the Northern Expedition and wipe out the kennel of the Qing court in one fell swoop.

"I heard that it went quite well, the two of them have already entered Henan, and the next step is Hebei, not far from Beijing." Li Xiucheng replied.

Lin and Li followed Yang Xiaoshan's advice, and did not directly fight with the Qishan Heavy Army Group in northern Jiangsu, but bypassed him and entered Henan through Anhui, taking a diagonal line.

"That's great, as long as we can kill the Tartar Emperor, we can make it harder here." Chen Yucheng was relieved, it seems that the combat effectiveness of the old brothers is really powerful.

While the two were talking, they came to Yang Xiaoshan's camp, the lights in the tent had been extinguished, and only their own soldiers were patrolling outside.

"Two inspectors, the prince has already fallen asleep, so you better not bother him. If there is no urgent military situation, let's talk about it tomorrow. The soldiers outside the camp stopped the two of them and said politely.

"Didn't the prince order us both? There is not a word of explanation? Li Xiucheng still didn't give up, hoping that the prince could explain something to them.

"No, the prince went to bed earlier than usual today, and there is nothing else to explain." The soldier replied.

After Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng listened, the two looked at each other and smiled, their confidence swelled unfoundedly, the son of the world can sleep so peacefully, there must be a trick, it seems that the overall situation of tomorrow has been decided.
