Speaking from the heart, Admiral Yu's army is already a good team in the green battalion, at least it is still normal and knows the drill formation. Compared to other green battalions who only know how to plunder the people, the team that smokes big cigarettes is already much stronger. However, the lack of actual combat experience, the soldiers were generally afraid of death, and the shortcomings of low fighting spirit were unobstructed under the attack of Yang Xiaoshan and Jiao Er.

Admiral Yu's command banner constantly commanded the battle, but the Qing soldiers under his command could not understand or even misunderstand his meaning.

"That's not how I practiced before."

"Does that mean front or back."

。。。。。。。

Grass-roots officers did not understand the meaning of the Lingqi, and in the face of the impact of the Taiping Army, they could not accommodate the tactics according to local conditions. When the Taiping army rushed into the battle, everything was in chaos. Without the archers, the Taiping army easily rushed to the front of the Qing army, and at this time, some of the Qing soldiers were still defending, some went to save the archers, and some even broke up on their own. They were unable to organize an effective defense against the Taipings.

Yu Wanqing's "turtle shell" has now become a broken armor with holes everywhere, and the Taiping army can stir up the formation with a single charge.

Admiral Yu knew at a glance that the general trend had gone, and finally exposed the true nature of the rabbit, and he was shocked when he didn't move. He fled faster than his own soldiers, and before the other Qing soldiers could react, this Admiral Yu had already disappeared from their sight.

The headless Qing army even broke and fled, and Yang Xiaoshan led the team to chase and kill for a while, until he couldn't see the groups of Qing soldiers before closing the team. Then he joined forces with Jiao Er and returned to the base camp of Lingyidu to report to the king of the east.

Jiao Er's return to the team also brought an unexpected surprise, he knew the mountain roads in this area very well. can be used as a guide to lead the Taiping army out of Lingyidu.

Yang Xiuqing received the news of Xiaoshan's victory and immediately convened a military meeting. Discuss the next course of action for the Taiping Army.

"So much baggage, so many boats are gone? That's more than 300 boats. Hearing Yang Xiuqing's plan to transfer the Taiping army from the mountain road, Wei Changhui felt a little heartbroken.

"Yes, the heavy baggage is destroyed, and the ship is burned. Changhui, don't feel sorry for these belongings, as long as there are people, we will be able to earn them back sooner or later. Yang Xiuqing saw very far, he and Yang Xiaoshan had the same idea, he had to leave this place as soon as possible, and the most important thing was to enter Hunan as soon as possible.

Then Yang Xiuqing looked at Jiao Er, who was standing on the side, "I heard Xiaoshan say that you know a mountain road, can you directly cross these mountains and enter Hunan?" ”

"Yes, the villain is familiar with this area, and this road is a combination of several mountain roads. It can be nearly 20 miles closer than other trails. Jiao Er said immediately.

"Well, the mountain road is not easy to walk, and if you can get closer, you will suffer a little less. Out of these mountains is the boundary of Hunan? Yang Xiuqing then asked.

"Yes, after getting out of this road, to the north is Yongzhou in Hunan, and to the south is Daozhou in Hunan." Jiao Er replied.

"Do you have a map?" Yang Xiuqing was interested.

"Yes, the villain is carrying it." Jiao Er hurriedly took out the map and spread it on the table for everyone to see.

Yang Xiuqing looked at the map carefully, his mind was spinning rapidly, considering whether to choose Yongzhou or Daozhou as the next foothold.

"Jiao Er, you are familiar with the area, do you think you should go to Yongzhou or Daozhou?" Yang Xiuqing likes to listen to other people's opinions when she can't make up her mind.

"The villain thinks that Yongzhou may be easier to attack. On the way to Daozhou, there is a double-brand town. The terrain here is very treacherous, with cliffs and abysses below, and there is only a single path in between. If there is a Qing army guarding here, it is almost impossible to pass, and when chasing and killing the Qing army just now, the villain observed that the direction of the Qing army's escape is south, and he should have fled to Daozhou. Jiao Er spoke in detail and made sense.

"And Yongzhou is close to Changsha, if we want to go from Changsha to Nanjing, it is best to take Yongzhou." Yang Xiuqing also compared Yongzhou's advantages from the map.

"Then let's go to Yongzhou!" Xiao Chaogui slapped his thigh and said happily.

"Nope! We have discarded so many supplies, which must be replenished as soon as possible, and siege is not the strong point of our Taiping army now. We can't put our eggs in one basket, we are mainly attacking Yongzhou, and Daozhou will also send people to take a look. Yang Xiuqing thought very thoroughly, Lingyidu was because he only walked from one road. As a result, it was cut off like this, and the whole army was passive. To learn this lesson, walk on two legs, and there is another alternative to one that doesn't work.

"Chaogui, Xiaoshan, which of the two of you will go to Yongzhou and Daozhou?" Yang Xiuqing looked at the two of them, the former army is now dominated by the two of them, and the candidates are only the two of them.

"The king of the west chooses first, it doesn't matter if the hill is small, you can do both." Yang Xiaoshan humbly said that since he served as a pioneer, Xiao Chaogui's meritorious service opportunities were almost taken away by himself. For the sake of internal unity, it is necessary to be humble when it is time to be humble.

Xiao Chaogui looked at Yang Xiaoshan gratefully, knowing that he was letting himself, and after giving Xiaoshan a grateful look, he said loudly: "Then the king is not welcome, Yongzhou will be attacked by me." Xiaoshan, if you are wronged to go to Daozhou, if you can't beat it, it doesn't matter. "After listening to the previous conversation, fools know that Yongzhou is the best candidate.

After deciding on their next move, the Taiping army immediately went into action. Overnight, he burned the boats left in Lingyidu, destroyed the heavy baggage, and followed Jiao Er's team into the mountains with only light items, and stepped into the rugged mountain roads in the dark night, crossed the mountains, left Guangxi, and marched to Hunan.

"What? Did the bandit run away? Jiang Zhongyuan got the news that the Taiping army had left Lingyidu.

"Yes, they burned the boats, and the flames soared into the sky, my lord." The spy reported.

Jiang Zhongyuan came out of the camp tent, and in the night, it was indeed a firelight camp on the river surface of Lingyidu.

"Big brother, hurry up and chase after it. If we don't chase it anymore, the long hair will run out. The younger brother Jiang Zhongjun on the side said anxiously.

"Nope! Poor Kou Mo chases, we must learn the lesson of Ulantai. Long-haired is scheming, we can't take this risk! Let the brethren rest until tomorrow dawn and find out what is going on. Jiang Zhongyuan was really thoughtful, and in Yong'an, he learned the power of the Taiping Army, and his 2,000 people relied on the geographical advantage to withstand the attack of the Taiping Army. Leaving Lingyidu, there was no geographical advantage, and his 2,000 people really encountered the main force of the Taiping army, but the whole army was wiped out.

"Inform the brothers, close the team, the Qing demon didn't come to chase!" Shi Dakai sighed, feeling pity in his heart. Sure enough, as Jiang Zhongyuan expected, Yang Xiuqing sent Shi Dakai to set up an ambush behind, if the Qing soldiers really came to chase, the result waiting for them was to be surrounded and annihilated.

The Taiping army successfully left Lingyidu, left their hometown in Guangxi, and set off towards Hunan.
