For security precautions, the south side of Mojia Village is an armory, where weapons such as knives and guns, armor and other armor are stored, as well as iron sand and gunpowder for wooden cannons, while the north is a grain storehouse, where the army rations needed for various camps such as rice and sweet potatoes are stored.

Jiang Zhongyuan came from the direction of the ferry, they only knew that Mojia Village was an important stronghold of the Taiping Army, and they did not know the defense arrangement inside, nor did they know where the specific warehouses were. Jiang Zhongyuan and his men did not dare to rush in and out of Mojia Village, although a large number of people and horses here were transferred to the ferry, but there were still more than a thousand defenders scattered here, and it was not possible for them to break through by themselves.

Jiang Zhongyuan disguised himself as a patrol of the Taiping Army, wandered around the outskirts of Mojia Village, and finally discovered the armory set up by the Taiping Army in the south of Mojia Village.

"That's it." Jiang Zhongyuan was determined to do it here, and he didn't have much time left for himself, so he had to evacuate Yong'an in the afternoon and return to Sai Shoufu's camp before dark. Without the protection of the camp at night, he didn't dare to stay here, after all, this was the territory of the Taiping army, and once they found out, it would bring ruin. What's more, the Qing army that had originally agreed to support the ferry never appeared, and Jiang Zhongyuan guessed that they were likely to be intercepted by the Taiping army, which also meant that the battle plan had failed.

"Although I didn't take the ferry, if my small team of more than 400 people can destroy this warehouse of Long Hair, it will be a great achievement." Jiang Zhongyuan secretly pondered that he had already gone deep into the hinterland of the Taiping Army, so he had to bring something with him, so he didn't come in vain.

The armory here was built like their camp on the hill, surrounded on all sides by high walls of earthen ramparts, through which people could only pass through one of the hanging gates, but not as many ditches were dug around it.

For Jiang Zhongyuan, the most important thing now is how to deceive the hanging door of this armory, he knows that the Taiping Army is not a fool, although he wears the clothes of the Taiping Army, but he does not have a waist card warrant, in the face of such a strange face, people will not let him in so easily. Jiang Zhongyuan thought for a while, and finally came to his heart, he ordered to his dozen or so subordinates: "You take off all your long-haired clothes and restore your original costumes." ”

In this way, Jiang Zhongyuan disguised himself as the Taiping Army and escorted more than a dozen Qing army "prisoners" to the Taiping Army's armory drawbridge, and shouted loudly below: "Hey, quickly release the drawbridge and let us go in to rest, Nanwang has just won a battle in front." Let's stop by and grab some gear to replenish. ”

"Do you have a warrant from the King of the South?" The doorman of the Taiping Army looked at them, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly asked loudly.

"We are holding prisoners, and we are in a hurry, and the people behind us will make up the warrants later." Jiang Zhongyuan immediately shirked.

The doorman seemed a little uneasy, and took a closer look at the Qing army "captives" in front of them, especially those big braids, which looked really genuine. He hesitated for a moment, "Wait a minute, when your warrant comes, I'll open the door again." ”

"What are you waiting for? Now that the war is in danger, if the demons come and rescue our captives, can you afford to take this responsibility? Jiang Zhongyuan changed his serious face and shouted.

The young doorman knew that Nanwang was in a hurry and the team was also in a hurry, so it was estimated that there was some danger. Subconsciously didn't doubt Jiang Zhongyuan's words, and was so frightened by him, he didn't think too much, and replied: "Wait a minute, I'll let the drawbridge come down." ”

The suspension bridge was finally put down, and Jiang Zhongyuan's heart also fell. If this guard insists on not letting him go, he will not be able to do it, his more than 400 people want to storm this armory in a short time, I am afraid that if I will lose a large number of people, I may not be able to take it.

When everyone crossed the drawbridge and entered the armory. Jiang Zhongyuan suddenly pulled out his knife, slashed the young doorman to death, and shouted, "Brothers, rush, kill me." ”

There were only about fifty defenders in the armory, and the Qing army came so suddenly that they had no time to react, and they were either hacked to death or disarmed and tied up.

Jiang Zhongyuan was overjoyed, this victory came too suddenly, and he easily defrauded Changmao's defense and seized Changmao's armory. The means of transportation in the armory were ready-made, and more than a dozen two-horse carts were stored in the east stables of the warehouse, and Jiang Zhongyuan urged his subordinates to load all the weapons, armor, gunpowder, etc., of the Taiping army, and he also wanted to get rid of all these things.

"My lord, it's not good, there seems to be a long-haired cavalry team coming to our side from the south." One of his men standing on the wall of the vault shouted.

Jiang Zhongyuan immediately climbed the high wall and looked up, his subordinates were right, it was indeed as he said, a 300-strong Taiping cavalry appeared hundreds of meters away from him, and was advancing towards him.

"It's too late, it's impossible to transport the things from the armory in such a short period of time, it's the cavalry who came, and it's so urgent, it's likely that it's coming for me, presumably Li Taizhou has given himself out." Jiang Zhongyuan guessed in his heart, he felt a little distressed in his heart, so much equipment, it seemed that he couldn't take it away.

Jiang Zhongyuan was right, the person who came was Yang Xiaoshan and his three hundred men. After arresting Ulanfu, Li Taizhou knew that his life was difficult to protect, and in order to survive, he made a deal with Yang Xiaoshan. Yang Xiaoshan promised to spare him not to die, and Li Taizhou also said that Jiang Zhongyuan should have come to answer the matter. Yang Xiaoshan was taken aback when he heard this, there was still a Qing army of more than 400 people in the inner perimeter of Yong'an, and he didn't know where he went.

Fortunately, Yang Xiaoshan did not panic, he analyzed the current situation very calmly in his heart, no matter where this Qing army went, only Mojia Village is now the only weakness of the Taiping Army, especially the two warehouses in Mojia Village are the top priority. The ferry port is to the south of Mojia Village, and if the Qing army goes to Mojia Village, there is a great possibility that they will first go to the armory in the south. If the Qing army is not in Mojia Village, it is the best, as long as they go over to protect the two warehouses, the Taiping army will not have any big losses.

Fortunately, Ulanfu, who had thrown himself into the net, sent so many military horses, and Yang Xiaoshan and his subordinates just used these horses to quickly chase after Mojia Village.

"My lord, what do we do now?" Jiang Zhongyuan's personal soldiers asked anxiously.

"Longhair's luck is so good, we don't have time. Forget it, light all this gunpowder. Let's get out of here. Jiang Zhongyuan secretly regretted that if there was no long-haired cavalry, he would have been able to transport all the equipment and prisoners back to the camp, which would be too great.

"What about these people?" The pro-soldier refers to the Taiping army captured in the armory.

"Count them unlucky, we can't take them away and kill them all." Jiang Zhongyuan turned his heart sideways and said hatefully.

His men carried out dozens of loads of gunpowder, and then unloaded the lamp on the wall, and the oil in it was poured on the ground, about seven or eight meters to the gunpowder.

Jiang Zhongyuan quickly withdrew from the armory with his team, and the Qing soldiers who left last threw a lit torch on the lamp oil and ignited it. The blue flames quickly burned to the gunpowder in the direction of the lamp oil, "Boom! With a loud bang, a huge mushroom cloud rose from the ground, and in this way, dozens of loads of gunpowder of the Taiping army were all reimbursed.

With such a loud noise, it was difficult for Yang Xiaoshan not to pay attention to it from a distance. Looking at the mushroom cloud, Xiao Shan's heart was half cold, and he knew that the Qing army had succeeded. He whipped his horse angrily and urged loudly: "Brothers, rush over with me, and you must not let those demons run away again." ”
