Xiang Rong took the general soldiers of Qin and the brigade to Dongling again, ready to accept Hong Xuanjiao's surrender, he even prepared the honor guard, and planned to make a formal surrender ceremony, showing that he had finally made his first contribution in the confrontation between Guangxi and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Xiang Rong was immersed in the beautiful dream he had weaved, but unfortunately the reality was not as he wished, and Hong Xuanjiao didn't even open the walled door.

"Go and ask what's going on? Why not surrender? Xiang Rong's face became gloomy, and he commanded the soldiers on the side.

The soldiers hurriedly went up to ask questions, and then immediately returned.

"Back to the Admiral, the female bandit said that the general surnamed Qin is still unconscious, and we want us to give them another day." The pro-soldier reported.

Xiang Rong's face was cloudy, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, he came over for a long time, he gritted his teeth, seemed to have made up his mind, and finally spoke: "Go, go back, give them another day." ”

"My lord, I'm afraid this is a delaying tactic for the bandits." General Qin was puzzled.

"Dingsan, you have followed me to fight for many years, and when those thieves are at an absolute disadvantage, can they resist to the end?" Xiang Rong didn't answer, but asked Qin Dingsandao.

Qin Dingsan thought for a while and replied, "Indeed not." ”

"The heads of these thieves are actually the most afraid of death, and they are willing to surrender at the slightest temptation. If they are allowed to hold official positions, they are even willing to accept Zhao'an and beat their own people with their guns. Do you think so? Xiang Rong said slowly, and one after another anti-thieves appeared in his mind to accept Zhao'an.

"Yes, the leaders of these rebels are here for glory and wealth. They will only pretend to be gods and deceive and incite some stupid people to rebel. Once the big thing doesn't work, he will sell all these subordinates and become a stepping stone for him to accept Zhao'an. Qin Dingsan showed a sarcastic expression.

"Well, so I'll give them another day to be a little patient when doing big things." Xiang Rong's words carried a profound mystery and unpredictability.

But another day passed, and the performance of these bandits slapped him in the face again.

"What, they want us to give us another day? The surname Qin hasn't woken up yet? Xiang Rong was furious, this Hong Xuanjiao was playing herself as a monkey, if she believed her again, she would really be a fool.

"The whole army will attack, no prisoners will be accepted, not a single one will be left!" Xiang Rong gritted his teeth and said, no anti-thief had ever dared to insult his IQ like this.

After a day of fighting, the two sides fought fiercely and repeatedly. The Taiping army lost another half of its troops, as did the three camps on the mountainside, and in the end less than 1,000 men retreated to the four camps on the top of the mountain.

After another day of fighting, although the Taiping army resisted stubbornly, they were finally outnumbered, and finally only 400 people were left to retreat to the highest and last camp on the top of the mountain.

After two days of fierce fighting, there were countless Qing demons who died under Hong Xuanjiao's knife, and her body reached the limit, not only was her body tired, but her spirit was about to collapse. She took off her bloodstained robe and put on a pale blue robe that she usually liked to wear, with white plum blossoms embroidered on the neckline, cuffs, and edges of the robe, and then she very carefully arranged her long fluffy hair and combed it neatly. The final battle is coming, and she hopes that she can die a better death.

Of the 400-strong team, less than 200 people could still hold their weapons, and the rest were all seriously wounded who had no combat effectiveness. The arrows were all gone, the shells of the earthen cannons were gone, and everyone was left with their last breath.

A guard came to report, "Marshal, the Qing soldiers have come to persuade them to surrender again." ”

"Let's go, see what else he can say?" Hong Xuanjiao finished tidying up her outfit and walked out.

"General Hong, you have been surrounded by us, and there is no way you can escape back. You have less than 200 soldiers to fight, so why bother to resist stubbornly? Qin Dingsan saw Hong Xuanjiao appear on the wall, and immediately shouted to her.

Hong Xuanjiao didn't reply, just looked at him coldly and didn't say anything. She is regaining her strength, and after a little longer, her strength can be returned a little more, so that she can kill a few more demons before she dies.

"Now that you have not escaped death, why hang yourself on a tree? Admiral Xiang is still willing to recruit you, as long as you accept the recruitment, you will not be responsible for the previous events. There are also rewards in the imperial court, how much silver you want, how big an official you want to be, you can say. Admiral will try to satisfy you. Qin Dingsan continued to persuade him to surrender.

The reason why Xiang Rong was still willing to recruit Hong Xuanjiao was because he was shocked by the Taiping Army's stubborn will to resist. He wanted to recruit a high-ranking general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to see what was going on in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? Why is the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the team so strong.

"I want a peaceful heavenly kingdom where everyone has food, clothes for everyone, warmth everywhere, and unevenness everywhere. Can you give it? Hong Xuanjiao said calmly, "We want to kill all the Tartars and return my Han family to the world, can you give it?" ”

Xiang Rong and Qin Ding didn't expect this female bandit to answer like this, and they were all speechless for a while. Her words hit their cognition like a stormy wave, there are people in this world who will sacrifice their lives for these empty ideals, will pay for this, are these bandits crazy?

"We, the Taiping Army, will shed the last drop of blood for this." Hong Xuanjiao looked at them contemptuously and said loudly.

"So, you don't want to surrender?" Qin Dingsan froze and was silent for a while and continued to ask.

"Our Taiping army only has life and death, and there is absolutely no surrender." Hong Xuanjiao cut through the railway, the breeze blew her long hair, and the sun shone on her resolute face, which was so holy.

"Dingsan has never seen such an ordinary, heroic and fearless strange woman under her feet. Today, after the war, I will bury you thickly. Qin Dingsan admired in his heart, this female hair bandit is really a woman who does not let her eyebrows, a real hero, a real hero.

"Thank you." Hong Xuanjiao didn't think that Qin Dingsan was talking big, and it was indeed impossible to escape death today.

"Fire!" Qin Dingsan commanded the artillery, and the final decisive battle finally began.

"Boom, boom." With the roar of the Qing cannons, a large hole was also smashed into the wall of the last camp on the East Ridge of the Taiping Army.

"Rush!" A large number of Qing troops poured in from the gap.

Hong Xuanjiao divided the last 200 people into three rows, everyone side by side, looking at death as home, holding weapons, "Kill the demons!" Killing one is enough, killing two earns one. ”

Just when the soldiers of the Taiping army thought they were going to die, the Qing soldiers began to retreat inexplicably.

When everyone was still stunned, a voice came from the wall, "Marshal, look! Reinforcements are coming! ”

Hong Xuanjiao couldn't believe it, climbed the wall, and looked around, there was really a group of Taiping troops from the rear of the Qing soldiers, and they were killing the Qing army's artillery and archery teams.

"What kind of people are this?" Hong Xuanjiao really couldn't see it for a while, because there was no handsome flag she was familiar with.

"Yang Xiaoshan? How did he get here? Hong Xuanjiao looked around and found that the only person she knew was Yang Xiaoshan, the former soldier by Yang Xiuqing's side.
