Dongling is not a very high mountain range, and the mountain terrain is not steep. But as the only barrier in the northwest of the kingdom of heaven. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also spent a lot of effort here, setting up ten camps on a mountain two or three hundred meters high. Echoing back and forth, each other is horns, which can be said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack. Qin Rigang was ordered to lead 2,000 heavenly soldiers to garrison here, and Yang Xiuqing took into account the strong combat effectiveness of Xiang Rongbu, and sent Hong Xuanjiao here to lead 1,000 female soldiers to defend together.

In the highest and largest camp in Dongling, Qin Rigang and Hong Xuanjiao had a fierce dispute at the combat meeting.

"I don't agree with you leading the team to take the initiative." Hong Xuanjiao's eyes were firm and clear.

"Why can't you attack? Tanma has reported, Xiang Rong divided half of the team to save their Lord Qincha, now there are only 2,000 Qing soldiers under the mountain, we are the majority, and we can take the initiative to attack. "Qin Rigang is now a meritorious person, and the last time he let Qin Zongbing go, he regretted it and wanted to take this opportunity to get the field back.

"The strategy of the Yang division is to set up ambushes to defeat the enemy's reinforcements on the road, and we are not allowed to engage the enemy if they are prepared." Hong Xuanjiao remembered what Yang Xiuqing had repeatedly told her.

It turned out that Yang Xiuqing's tactic this time was to use 6,000 people to create a momentum of 10,000 people to pretend to besiege Ulantai, and the actual killing move was Xiao Chaogui's 4,000 people who were ambushed in the roadside woods to ambush the Qing reinforcements.

"This time and that time, the situation is different now." Qin Rigang still insisted on his own ideas.

"Defending Dongling is our most important task, Marshal Qin, don't forget this combat mission." Hong Xuanjiao's face turned red, and Qin Rigang obviously forgot Yang Xiuqing's entrustment.

"Okay, I'll lead 2,000 men to attack, and your troops will hold on to the East Ridge, so it's all right. Dry waiting in Dongling to be beaten, I can't stand it, the brothers say yes? Qin Rigang turned around and looked at the division and brigade commanders present.

"Marshal Qin is right, beat him up as a son of a bitch."

"We want to take revenge, last time my brothers died at the hands of Xiang Rong's team."

"That's right, take the initiative to attack and annihilate others while they are few."

。。。。。。

Most of the people at the meeting were Qin Rigang's subordinates, and the opinions that were obviously going to be fought accounted for the vast majority.

"Marshal Hong, what do you say? Everyone agreed to fight. Qin Rigang saw that he had received the support of everyone, and looked at Hong Xuanjiao proudly.

Hong Xuanjiao didn't speak at first, and when the generals quieted down, she looked at the faces of the generals calmly, and then gritted her teeth, "I still insist on my point of view, but everyone insists on fighting, and I can't stop it." Marshal Qin, what I want to say is that if you get to the bottom of the mountain, don't rush in, if something goes wrong, immediately retreat, and I will answer you. ”

"No, you just wait for our good news. Rest assured, you won't be missing from the credit book. Qin Rigang waved his arms excitedly, as if everything was in sight.

"Brothers, rest early tonight, and go down the mountain early tomorrow morning to meet this old man!" Qin Rigang ordered.

===============================

Admiral Xiang rode a horse to observe the Taiping army coming down from the East Ridge, his eyes were calm, and he seemed to have everything in his chest.

Qin Rigang led two thousand heavenly soldiers, like a fierce tiger, down the mountain, and rushed straight to the Rong position. As soon as it was dark, a bloody battle began.

Qin Rigang took the lead, and took the lead in the Qing army with a big sword. A member of the Qing army garrison raised a gun and rode a horse to sneak attack from behind, according to Qin Rigang's back is a shot, Qin Rigang heard a movement behind, and hurriedly dodged sideways, and another Qing army garrison came up and stabbed Qin Rigang's horse head with a gun. The two Qing garrisons formed a flanking attack on Qin Rigang one after the other.

Qin Rigang was not afraid, and he was able to defeat two generals with a big sword. The three of them fought in one place, the horse chased the horse, the person was connected to the person, the horse's hooves raised the dust on the ground and couldn't see who was who, and the Qing soldiers next to him didn't dare to step forward for a while. After fighting for more than a dozen rounds, only to hear Qin Rigang shout, his big knife cut off a spear erected by the garrison, and the garrison's head was split in half, and he fell straight off the horse. The other guard was frightened, turned around and ran.

Qin Rigang rose up to kill, "Happy, brothers, rush, kill the demons!" "Urge the war horse under the crotch to chase after him.

Xiang Rong's troops seemed to be afraid of the sharp spirit of the heavenly soldiers, and began to retreat.

"Marshal Qin, take it when you see it, Marshal Hong has instructed us not to rush in." A division commander caught up with Qin Rigang and reminded.

"Don't talk nonsense, Lao Tzu is killing hard, don't get in the way, go aside." Qin Rigang's eyes were red, he seemed to have seen Xiang Rong's figure in front of him, and he couldn't care about it at all.

The Qing soldiers retreated quickly, and Qin Rigang chased faster, and he was about to catch up.

Suddenly, a cannonball exploded in the Heavenly Soldier Array, and then one cannonball after another fell from the sky, shaking the mountains for a while, giving Qin Rigang a blow to the head. The heavenly soldiers were unable to dodge, and immediately the blood flowed like a river, and a large number of heavenly soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and pieces of people fell after being hit by shell fragments.

"Boom!" A cannonball exploded near Qin Rigang, and the powerful impact shook the horse and Qin Rigang was thrown off. He fainted, unconscious. Two guards immediately rushed over and defended Qin Rigang with all their might.

"Retreat!" Seeing that the commander was wounded, a division commander hurriedly called for the brothers to retreat.

Turning around, there was a rain of arrows, and a large number of brothers were killed by arrows. It turned out that General Qin just pretended to leave Xiang Rong and did not go to save Li Qincha, but took advantage of the night and they quietly turned back, like a hungry wolf ambushing nearby, waiting for the Taiping army to chase after him, he detoured to the past and dealt a fatal blow to the Taiping army in the back.

In fact, after Xiang Rong received Li Qincha's distress letter, he discovered the Taiping army's strategy, of course he would not stupidly send reinforcements to drill traps, but used his own way to govern others, and set Qin Rigang in a trap. This ginger is still old and spicy, and Xiang Rong is not a loser who is an old fox who has been on the battlefield for a long time.

The 2,000 people led by Qin Rigang were flanked by Xiang Rong's 4,000 people, and they couldn't take care of each other, and the situation was quite critical.

Hong Xuanjiao on the mountain saw all this, and her eyes almost burst into flames, she couldn't imagine that this Xiang Rong was so cunning, and Qin Rigang suffered a big loss.

Hong Xuanjiao immediately brought five hundred female soldiers to reinforcements. General Qin immediately sent a team of people to block Hong Xuanjiao, and one of them participated in raising a gun to greet him, "Female bandit, leave, look at the gun."

Hong Xuanjiao didn't answer, and the two knives were against the general, and he slashed with his right hand. The general used a gun to fight, and there was a loud sound, which made the general's mouth numb, and he said secretly: "This woman has such brute strength, it is really powerful." ”

Hong Xuanjiao didn't have time to waste too much time on him, she came out with Qin Rigang's troops in the first aid. Quickly picked up the double knife, and only the shadow of the knife was seen at that speed, and the virtual and the real could not be seen clearly. The general panicked, not knowing that one move was real and that one was false.

"Take your life!" Hong Xuanjiao screamed, red light flashed, a human head rolled off the horse, and the body of the general fell straight down.

Under the impact of Hong Xuanjiao, the heavenly soldiers finally opened a bloody road, Qin Rigang's team suffered heavy losses, and only half of them escaped back. The situation in Dongling began to be unbalanced, and the situation was favorable to the Qing troops.

"Attack, take Dongling!" Xiang Rong commanded the whole army with a handsome banner, and the Qing army began to turn from defense to offense.
