Xiang Rong planted it in Cao Village, and Ulantai then restored his military power, and at this moment, he proudly led the team to Yong'an. Happy, he involuntarily touched the new wrench in his hand. This is an ivory wrench, the workmanship is very exquisite, and a red sandalwood liner is added to it, which is lightly fragrant and can absorb water and ivory to achieve the role of guarding and maintaining. In your spare time, you can use the meat of your fingers to play with your fingers, and your mood is more comfortable.

"Lord Dutong, I heard that the old man Xiang was dismissed by the emperor, and now he is a white one." The attendant beside him saw Ulantai's expression and knew that he was in a good mood, so he lost no time in stepping on Xiang Rong to ask his master to change his heart.

"It's just a dismissal, and there is no guilt, it's a cheap old boy. But finally kicked him out, let those who don't know each other know know how good we are, and see who dares to embarrass Bendu in the future. Ulantai let out a bad breath, he has been smooth sailing since he was a child, and he has been prosperous all the way, and he has not suffered twists and turns. Only here in Guangxi, Xiang Rong's sullen losses were suffered, so that the military power was seized, but fortunately, this evil breath is finally out now.

"Lord Dutong, the big thing is not good, the forward heavy general army was defeated by bandits in Fozi Village, and now he is pleading in front." A guard came to report.

Ulan Tairu, who was on the rise, was drunk as a stick, and the joy just now was gone. He lowered his face and shouted angrily, "Bring that useless thing here!" ”

"Lord Totong, I will plead on you in the future." Chonglun knows that Ulantai is small-minded, so it's best to admit it honestly and not let him get angry again.

"Chonglun, I asked you to go to the front to set up camp, can you do this errand?" Ulantai looked at Chonglun with vicious eyes, gritted his teeth, and said.

"Lord Dutong, the last general has already laid the foundation of the camp in Fozi Village, but the long hair came suddenly, and the last general did not resist it for a while, resulting in the destruction of the newly built camp, and I am here to ask for guilt." Chonglun didn't dare to look at Ulantai, and replied with his head bowed.

"How many of them are there?" Ulantai asked again.

"There are probably a few thousand people, but I don't know how many." Chonglun didn't dare to say more, and didn't dare to say less, saying too much was too false, and saying less seemed incompetent, so he had to say vaguely.

"What, look at your bear-like look, this is what you do?" The more Ulantai thought about it, the more angry he became, he had just restored his military power, and he was defeated on his first expedition, which was really unlucky. He raised his hand to the heavy lun that knelt in front of the horse, which was a whip.

The whip was really bad, and although Chonglun was wearing armor, blood marks were still drawn from the exposed part of his arm. Speaking of which, Chonglun is the chief soldier of the Green Battalion, and although he is now under the control of Ulantai, he is not his direct subordinate. Ulantai was a little affectionate at this time, if he was replaced by someone else, he would definitely smoke half to death before he could relieve his anger.

"How many men have been lost?" Ulantai breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

"About a hundred." Chonglun hurriedly replied.

Ulatai didn't ask again, more than a hundred people could still hide it, and he thought in his heart that there was no need to report it to Lord Shoufu.

"You lead the way in front, I want to see what kind of ambitious leopard gall the bandits have eaten, and dare to come to sneak attack?" Ulantai led the cavalry team to follow Chonglun in the direction of Luanling.

At the bottom of Luanling, Wulatai narrowed his triangular eyes and carefully observed the camp of the Taiping army on Luanling.

"How many thousand people can there be on this ridge?" Ulatai glared fiercely at Chonglun next to him. He is not a person without combat experience, and the size of such a camp is estimated to be more than 1,000 people.

"Heavy general soldier, give you a chance to atone for your sins, and take your soldiers to take this long-haired camp for me." Uratai snapped.

"Lord Dutong, this camp is not easy to fight." Chonglun hesitated, people with a discerning eye know that this camp is very clever, and it is built according to the mountain by using the mountain, and if it is attacked, it will definitely lose a lot.

"Nonsense, I still need you to fight! Give you a chance, will you be able to get on? "Ulantai thought that if it was easy to fight, I would take the credit myself, and I would let you go up and try the firepower.

Chonglun stiffened his head and had to take this hot "potato". Looking at Uratai's expression, if he doesn't agree, he will have to engage in his own military law. He divided the team into three teams, one thousand people each. Let a lieutenant lead the front team to rush forward first.

When the adjutant general of the Qing army received the task, he scolded Chonglun for an eight-generation ancestor in his heart, but the official was crushed to death at the first level, and he knew that it was a pit and he had to jump.

The Qing soldiers walked cautiously on the Luan Ridge, which was originally a barren mountain and there was no serious road, it was a path stepped out by hunters, and the team could not disperse and could only gather together to climb the mountain.

"Pull!" A celestial soldier saw the Qing soldiers walking into their minefield and immediately signaled.

Landmines were widely used in the Ming Dynasty in China, and the early rulers of the Qing Dynasty did not attach importance to such explosive devices until after the Opium War, after suffering the loss of foreigners' firearms, landmines were re-emphasized. The Taiping army used this kind of improved mine, called Lafa mine.

"Boom." The mines on the soles of the Qing soldiers' feet exploded, and the bodies of the people who were blown up suddenly turned into a pool of blood, and the corpses were blown to pieces.

The impact of such a scene on people's hearts is huge, and many people panicked even if they were not bombed, and desperately ran to places with fewer people on the side of the road.

It's a pity that these people can hide from the mines, but not the traps. Li Xiucheng is well aware of people's hearts, and has already laid a dark ditch around the minefield, and those panicked Qing soldiers only want to escape for their lives, and they don't care to carefully observe the movement under their feet. The most tragic thing is that those who fell and did not die, the wailing is very sad, and life is worse than death.

With this series of blows, the front army was disheartened and no longer had combat effectiveness. Chonglun had no choice, so he withdrew the team that was disabled in front of him and ordered the team in the middle to go up.

Along the way, the Qing soldiers lost their troops, and finally arrived at the bottom of the long-haired camp. They were greeted by a deep ditch outside the three villages.

"Aren't you going to fire?" Yang Xiaoshan was with Li Shixian at the moment, and the Qing soldiers were building a frame with wood and crossing the deep ditch.

"My brother took care of it, the Qing soldiers didn't know how powerful the first attack was, let them come over first and then fight." Li Shixian replied.

Sure enough, the Qing soldiers crossed three deep ditches in a row, and when they saw that the Taiping army did not move, they immediately pressed over with all the men and horses, trying to take the camp in one fell swoop.

"Put!" Li Shixian gave an order.

More than a dozen pine cannons on the turret fired at the same time, and although this pine cannon was the most earthy wooden cannon, using iron sand as ammunition, its power should not be underestimated. These dozen or so cannons blasted towards the dense crowd of the Qing army, spraying iron sand like scattered flowers of the Heavenly Maiden. The Qing army was caught off guard, and the iron sand penetrated into the bodies of those people so densely that their bodies were all numb. The heart-piercing pain made the man who was hit by the cannon go crazy, and the weapon in his hand was waved wildly, and after the last force was exhausted, the man collapsed to the ground, unable to get up again.

The Qing army that came to attack generally retreated, but when they came, the temporary wooden planks were only so narrow, and many people were squeezed into the deep ditch by others, and the sharpened bamboo tubes under the deep ditch ushered in the corpses of those unlucky people.

"Your brother's method is good, use the cannons together, this lethality is greatly improved." Yang Xiaoshan saw this terrifying lethality, and immediately exclaimed, "I'll go to the East King when I go back, and suggest that all the brother teams do the same." "Although the pine cannon is not easy to make, it is really convenient to take materials if it can't stand it, and there are materials that can be used everywhere on this mountain, although it will be scrapped after a few shots, but the enemy can't help but attack a few rounds." It's just a bit of gunpowder. Yang Xiaoshan pondered silently.

In half a day, before the official attack on the village, Chonglun's team was reduced by one-third. "Withdraw!" Chonglun knew that this battle could not be fought again, and if he fought again, his team would be completely exhausted.

Ulantai looked at Chonglun who had retreated from defeat, although he was angry in his heart, but he also saw the strength of the Taiping Army's defense, and he was afraid that it would be the same if he went up by himself.

"My lord, how do you write this battle report?" The attendant beside him was worried, this was a big defeat, but it was true that Ulantai would not tear him apart.

"Our army and Luanling encountered bandits. Small victory, kill 300 enemies. Ulantai blushed and said coldly.
