Everything was ready to stop, Yang Xiaoshan arranged everything and assigned the corresponding tasks to each general. This was the last large-scale battle that Tianjing could launch, and the food was almost eaten. After that, it can no longer be supplied in full, and it will return to the time when we ate corn husks and okara.

Yang Xiaoshan led 30,000 people out of the South City Gate. Li Xiucheng and Tang Zhengcai led 50,000 people to wait for his signal in the north of the city, and the remaining 20,000 people let Hong Renji take the defense of Tianjing City.

To be honest, Yang Xiaoshan didn't have the certainty of victory in his heart, but he couldn't show it, he stood up on his horse and checked the situation of the Hunan army on the opposite side.

"Don't be in a hurry, you must stabilize the formation." Yang Xiaoshan instructed the surroundings that this month's training was still fruitful, at least the morale of the Taiping Army had been picked up, and it was no longer the decadent look that it had before.

Yang Xiaoshan's sudden appearance frightened Zeng Guofan on the other side, the Taiping army has not dared to go out of the city for a long time to fight, what kind of trouble is this, there is more food in the city?

Zeng Guofan didn't have a clue for a while, but the banner of the Eastern King of the Taiping Army, which never appeared, made him very stressed, and the legendary Yang Xiaoshan finally appeared, I heard that he had appeared near Suzhou once, and his momentum made the Huai army withdraw without even resisting.

Yang Xiaoshan's name made Zeng Guofan dare not slack off, and immediately let the ace field army Duolonga and Bao Chao in his hand come forward to meet him.

Duolonga led 30,000 infantry cavalry as the main attack, and Bao Chao led 20,000 people as the secondary attack.

Admiral Duolong Agen looked down on the 30,000 Taiping army led by Yang Xiaoshan, and he had the impression that since the success or defeat of King Chen Yu and his departure from Anqing, there was no decent Taiping army that could compete with it. He was very good at using horses, and every time the infantry stuck to the enemy, he led the cavalry to seize the enemy's vital point and kill the enemy with a single blow.

"Admiral Bao, why don't we hunt again this time and see who gets the most heads?" Duolonga felt that this battle would be won, and his mood was extremely relaxed, and he and Bao Chao had never lost the battle together.

Bao Chao's face was a little dignified, although he didn't know a single big word, but he had an extraordinary intuition to fight, in his words, he smelled a different smell. Bao Chao felt that the team in front of him now seemed to be different from the previous one, and as for the difference, he couldn't say, but this was definitely not the kind of Taiping army that would be defeated with one blow.

"Admiral, Long Hair suddenly led his troops to battle, I think there is something strange inside. We'd better line up and hold the line and see what the hell Longhair is up to? Bao Chao is uneducated, but he is definitely not a rough person, and he instinctively feels that the Taiping Army will make some tricks this time.

"These long hairs have managed to crawl out of the shells, and we are all idle birds in the tents. We are different from Zeng Guoquan, he digs trenches all day long, squatting in them to defend Lehehe. We're good at attacking, I can't let him slip away with such a good opportunity, it's enough for you not to go up to me! Duolonga felt that Bao Chao was too careful and was a little angry.

Duolonga slapped the war horse and led the troops forward, Bao Chao couldn't stop him if he wanted to, although both of them were admirals, but Duolong'a was a banner man whose status was more precious, and Zeng Guofan was polite to him, let alone himself.

Duolong's comprehensive pressure was in Yang Xiaoshan's calculations, but he was not too happy, because Bao Chao's Ting Army on the side did not come over, and he was still waiting.

Yang Xiaoshan wanted to stick to these two people, so that the Taiping army in the north of the city could let go and attack Jiang Xinzhou. His own 30,000 people are a target to attract targets, and all the attention of the Hunan army can be placed on himself, so that others can surprise and achieve the effect of a surprise attack.

After a tentative artillery bombardment, Dorona couldn't bear it anymore and commanded the infantry to charge forward to grab the first credit.

Yang Xiaoshan asked Li Chunfa, the king of Shun, to lead his troops to hold the front line, "Don't attack, as long as you hold the front, it will be a great achievement." ”

"Order." Li Chunfa led his troops to press the formation.

Dolonga's team was indeed very elite, and before the Taiping army's arrows could reach the third round, they rushed in front of the Taiping army.

Because the Taiping army was defeated repeatedly, most of the remaining recruits were newly recruited, and many of them were fighting for the first time, but fortunately, after a month of training, they did not immediately lose their armor. The legendary story of Yang Xiaoshan made them have blind confidence in this Dongwang, and the Dongwang Banner behind them was very helpful to the army.

Li Chunfa brought more than 1,000 people to the front line to suppress the battle, which gave these frontline soldiers some confidence. In any case, the defending side of the white-knuckle battle still had an advantage, and Dorona's infantry did not break through at once, and was always blocked from the formation.

Yang Xiaoshan breathed a sigh of relief, what he was most worried about was that he couldn't withstand the first wave, and if he withstood the first wave, it would be impossible for Duolonga to win quickly, because he dug a pit and waited for him.

Seeing that the infantry had not made any progress, Dolonga was a little anxious and a little excited, and he was finally able to dispatch his cavalry brigade.

He shouted, and gave the order to advance in a voice peculiar to the Daur people, and the cavalry behind him waved their sabers as if they had come to hunt, and followed forward.

The elite soldiers of this Daur tribe are extremely combative, and many Manchurians have been corrupted after entering the customs, and the Daur people are still maintaining their traditional life outside the customs. According to legend, the Daur people are descendants of the Khitan, and their lifestyle, religion and language are very similar.

Yang Xiaoshan had been prepared for this rushing torrent, he had been in the Qing court and knew very well how cavalry fought. Its battle order is very rigid, and the cavalry will definitely copy it from the flanks, and Yang Xiaoshan doesn't need to fight to know it.

Yang Xiaoshan deliberately exposed the flaws on the flanks to lure Duolonga to attack, and Duolonga really fell into the plan.

"There's a deep trench!" The Qing cavalry, who rushed to the front, fell.

It turned out that when Li Xiucheng attacked Yuhuatai, he dug a lot of tunnels from outside the city, although it did not work in the end, but Yang Xiaoshan took it for "waste utilization", he laid a layer of wooden planks on the tunnel, and covered it with soil to camouflage. When Dorona's cavalry was about to rush over, he immediately removed the planks. Many of the cavalry rushed too hard to stop, fell into the ditch, and were poked to death by the bamboo tips buried below.

This is not the most terrifying, what is even more terrifying is that Yang Xiaoshan's foreign gun team that has been prepared for a long time has finally shot, and the few ammunition must be hit in the most critical place of the enemy. The rifle is a complete shot at the horse, not to mention that there is a ditch in the middle.

Several rounds of foreign gun salvos defeated Dolonga's cavalry, the morale of the Taiping army was greatly boosted, and the two infantry were still fighting.

"Admiral Bao, Admiral Duo asked us to come forward and help!" An adjutant general came over and reported.

Bao Chao also noticed Duolonga's defeat, "There must be a conspiracy in Longmao, let Admiral Duo resist for a while, in my opinion, Longhair doesn't dare to pursue, Admiral Duo only needs to withdraw for a while and then straighten it out, and there is still a fight." Bao Chao's intuition is very accurate, he always feels that Long Hair is calculating himself, and he doesn't want to go on it before he thinks it through.

Bao Chao is not up, Duolonga is angry, Yang Xiaoshan is also anxious, but the most anxious is Zeng Guofan.

Duolong Ake is the treasure of the official text of the governor of Huguang, the heart of the Manchu nobles, lent to himself, and there can be no mistakes.

So Bao Chao received an order from Zeng Guofan, asking him to cover Duolonga with all his might, otherwise he would be punished for failing to rescue.

Bao Chao received the order, and he looked helpless, so he could only bite the bullet and lead the team to pick up Duolonga.
