"What do you eat? Such an important grain storage point was destroyed by the Qing Demon! Yang Xiuqing scolded Wei Changhui in front of all the soldiers and gave him any affection.

"As soon as your army left, Xiang Rong's old thing came to call for battle. I ignored him, and I didn't expect that he would send a small army to burn our grain and grass, and it would be too late for me to send someone to rescue him. Wei Changhui was scolded so red-faced, but he didn't dare to contradict Yang Xiuqing, so he had to whisper.

"You still say! Now it's not the same as before, there are so many people in our Taiping Army, tens of thousands of mouths waiting to eat, what do you say? Where do I go to get food? Yang Xiuqing was furious, what he was most afraid of when leading troops to fight was the lack of food, and no matter how powerful the team was without food, it would collapse.

"Fortunately, Xiaoshan has set up camp on Shuiluzhou, and I have asked him to collect grain on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River. Collect the grain from the west bank before the Qing demon finds out, and you are lucky this time. Without a hill, this king really wants to cut off your head. Yang Xiuqing also had palpitations, it happened that it was the season of grain harvest in the golden autumn, and Xiaoshan had made arrangements on both sides of the Xiangjiang River in advance. Without these, the Taiping army would really have to worry about food and grass now.

In fact, the Qing army was not unaware of the west of the Xiangjiang River, Jiang Zhongyuan had suggested that Bao Qibao send a team to garrison, but Bao Qibao was busy defending Changsha City, and did not pay enough attention to this suggestion.

Xiang Rong also found that the west side of the Xiangjiang River was a blank spot for the Qing army, and when he led the team to investigate a few days later, he found that the Taiping army had used the water and land continent to connect the two banks, and also camped on both sides of the Xiangjiang River for defense.

Yang Xiaoshan set up supply bases in Yanghu, Longhuitan and other rice areas on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River, from which the newly produced rice was continuously transported back to the base camp of the Taiping army, and the food problem of the Taiping army was temporarily alleviated.

Looking at the camps on both sides of the Xiangjiang River of the Taiping Army, Xiang Rong suddenly felt that the success of his sneak attack on the Taiping Army's grain point was no longer worth mentioning.

He squinted his eyes and took his own soldiers to scout around, and the more he looked, the more he felt that this water and land continent was too crucial. It connected the large camps on both sides of the Xiangjiang River of the Taiping Army, blocked the river, cut off its own connection with the city of Changsha, and also peeped into the movements of the defenders of Changsha.

"Gotta take it here!" The more Xiang Rong looked at it, the more he regretted why he didn't garrison here before, and easily let the Taiping Army get such a critical place.

Back in the camp, Xiang Rong organized a group of 3,000 elite soldiers, took advantage of the night to set off, drove a big ship, and secretly boarded the water and land continent. This land and water island is a relatively large island, it is thin and long, no more than 200 meters wide, but more than 5,000 meters long. There are a lot of orange trees here, also known as Orange Island.

"Lord Admiral, Longhair seems to be defenseless." Liu Changqing, the general soldier on the side, was a little happy.

"Don't be too happy, we have to occupy this place firmly, and we can't let go of a long hair." Xiang Rong is calculating.

The Qing soldiers logged in from the head of the continent and were not resisted, and Xiang Rong led the team to the end of the continent.

"Lord Admiral, I found a few bandit rangers ahead, do you want to follow?" A spy came to report.

"Chase! Follow them to the bandits' camp and destroy them! Xiang Rong immediately ordered.

There are too many paths on this water and land continent, and I can't tell where to go, so I just follow the long hair and follow the vines to touch the melons, but it is easier to find them.

As soon as the sky was dawning, several cavalry of the Taiping Army seemed to have spotted the Qing army and ran towards Zhouwei.

Xiang Rong led the team to chase after him.

"Fire!" Suddenly, there was a flash of fire ahead. A rain of arrows fell from the sky, shooting the Qing army on their backs.

"Lord Admiral, are we in ambush?" Liu Changqing was a little nervous and made the team stop.

"Don't panic." Xiang Rong glanced at him, and when he looked around, the Taiping army in front of him was only about a thousand people. Only then did he put his mind at ease, "There are a lot of us, don't run, rush forward!" ”

This group of Taiping troops really did not dare to fight, and after releasing arrows for a while, they began to turn around and flee.

Xiang Rong recognized that there were not many Taiping troops on this land and water continent, and he wanted to try to annihilate them all, and taking this place would cut off the connection between the Taiping troops on both sides of the strait and block their grain routes, which was too great.

Chased to the end of the continent, where the woods were relatively dense, the Taiping army fled here and hid in the woods.

Xiang Rong was unwilling to give up and let the soldiers rush into the woods to look for him.

A cannon shot broke the silence of this land and water continent, and countless Taiping soldiers rushed out of the woods, surging towards the Qing army like a tide.

"Impossible, how can there be so many Taiping troops?" Xiang Rong couldn't believe his eyes.

It turned out that Yang Xiaoshan had long prevented the Qing army from coming to attack here, and he hid the camp in the woods and defended it heavily. Because there were no ships to engage the Qing army, the Qing army did not stop it when it landed, and specially introduced them into the water and land continent, set up an ambush here, and waited for Xiang Rong to drill in.

For a time, the shouts of killing, gunfire, and horse screams were loud, and a contingent of the Taiping army began to bypass the back of the Qing army, preparing to cut off the retreat of the Qing army.

Xiang Rong knew that something was wrong, so he made a quick decision, turned the horse's head and withdrew to the place where he was coming. This water and land continent is too small, there is almost no room for maneuver, once it is surrounded, it will be completely wiped out, Xiang Rong, the old fox, saw it very accurately, and escaped from the encirclement of the Taiping army as soon as possible.

Yang Xiaoshan stood on a high place and commanded the team to divide and encircle the Qing army, and he held the command flag in his right hand. Through the faint light of the early morning, the entire battle situation was observed. The banner behind him was whistling in the wind, and it was almost late autumn and the weather was starting to turn cold.

Xiang Rong ran away, but Liu Zongbing couldn't run away, they were divided and surrounded, more than 1,000 people were killed on the spot by the Taiping army, seven or eight hundred people fled to the edge of the continent, there was no way out, so they had to jump into the water, and drowned another six or seven hundred people.

In this battle, Xiang Rong was almost completely wiped out, and only a few dozen of his own soldiers fled, and more than 40 officers and officers were killed.

After the battle, the sky was already bright, and dozens of red tops were strung together by Chen Yucheng and others, and put in the camp to show off. The head of Changsha City also noticed the battle here, and the defenders were shocked by the Taiping Army's strong combat effectiveness, and their morale fell a lot, and many people did not dare to look at the Taiping Army, and they looked depressed one by one.

Yang Xiaoshan stood on a high ground in this orange island, full of spirits, and couldn't help but read out a favorite poem in the textbook of his previous life, Chairman Mao's "Qinyuan Spring? Changsha.

In the cold autumn of independence, the Xiangjiang River went north, and the orange island was headed.

Look at the mountains red all over, the forests are dyed; The river is clear and transparent, and hundreds of boats compete for the stream.

The eagle strikes the sky, the fish soars to the shallow bottom, and all kinds of frost compete freely.

Confused, ask the vast earth, who is the master of ups and downs?

Bring hundreds of couples to travel, reminiscing about the past eventful years.

Just a young classmate, in his prime; The scholar was angry and scolded Fang Xuan.

Pointing to the country, inspiring words, the dung was ten thousand households.

Have you ever remembered that when you hit the water in the middle of the stream, the waves curb the flying boat?

"Big brother, what does this mean? I don't understand it, but I feel that this poem is so imposing. Chen Yucheng scratched his head, he thought it was a good poem for anyone who had no culture.

And the literate Li Xiucheng stayed directly on the spot, and his heart was extremely shocked. "The son of the world is proud and ambitious, a good one who is the lord of ups and downs, and a good dung man who was a marquis of ten thousand households." He used to be proud of being a cultural person in the Taiping Army, but now as soon as Yang Xiaoshan's poem came out, his pride was shattered, and he was still 108,000 miles away from Xiaoshan.
