In the afternoon, all the tribes of the Kingdom of Heaven arrived outside Jeonju. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info By land, two miles away from the city wall on both sides of the northwest, thick two-story barracks were stationed, eyeing the tiger; The southeast sent warships to patrol back and forth, and completely besieged the city of Jeonju.

The establishment of the Heavenly Army is still a set of military systems after the reorganization of Chadi, which is divided into the center, front, rear, right, and left armies, like the middle army is divided into the first and second armies, and the others are similar, from the first army to the second left army, which is divided into ten armies.

Each army also has jurisdiction over 5 divisions in the center, front, rear, right, and left, and 5 brigades in the middle, front, rear, right, and left, and the brigade has jurisdiction over 5 pawns, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and 4 "two" and 5 "brigades" for each "two", with a total of 25 people. Originally, according to this establishment, there were a total of 13,156 company commanders in the whole army, but the Kingdom of Heaven was always in the midst of conquest in Guangxi, and the various armies were never fully formed, and even some armies such as the latter two armies actually had only more than 200 people.

After the restructuring of Yong'an, the women's battalion was organized into the third army and the fourth army. These two female armies do not have division commanders and brigade commanders, and are directly commanded by the army commander of 25 soldiers, who leads four or two horses, and two horses are in charge of 25 people, and the first army has a total of 2,500 female soldiers.

Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, and Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, led more than 2,500 soldiers of the Chinese army to be stationed in the north of the city.

The various units of the rear army led by Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, and the latter army led by Qin Rigang, the prime minister of Tianguanzheng, were stationed in the west of the city, of which the combat strength was only more than 500 people of the latter army, more than 200 people of the latter second army led by Liang Litai, more than 100 people in the guard battalion of the southern king, and some female soldiers in the women's battalion of the latter third army. Hu Damei, the commander of the Fourth Army, was injured in the siege of Guilin and did not recover, so the Fourth Army and the boy battalion followed the tail of the rear army to take care of the baggage.

The prince of the West Xiao Dynasty led more than 1,000 soldiers of the former army to station in the northwest corner of the city.

Yiwang Shi Dakai led more than 1,000 soldiers of the Left First Army to be stationed in the southwest corner of the city; Luo Xuan led more than 800 people of the Second Left Army to be responsible for the vigilance and inspection of waterway vessels, and to protect the Heavenly Kingdom soldiers, families, old and young and other banners and baggage troops on the river.

Wei Changhui, the king of the north, led nearly 1,000 soldiers of the right army to garrison the northeast corner outside the city.

In the evening, the king of heaven summoned all the lords of the kingdom of heaven to the camp of the Chinese army to discuss the military situation. Feng Shaoguang had a bloody cloth belt wrapped around his chest and legs, and with a weak face, he sat on a simple sedan chair and rushed to the camp of the Chinese army in the north of the city.

A long-bearded middle-aged man wearing an embroidered golden dragon yellow turban and a dragon yellow robe greeted Feng Shaoguang surrounded by another bearded young man who was also wearing a dragon yellow robe and a yellow scarf.

This middle-aged man with a long beard with a warm smile is the famous Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan!

And the beardless young man who followed behind, with a dark face and sharp and firm eyes, was the same famous actual leader of the Heavenly Kingdom---- Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East!

"Yun Shan has seen Brother Tianwang! I've seen Brother Dongwang! Feng Shaoguang pretended to be in pain all over his body and reluctantly saluted.

The king of the east on the side hurriedly came over to support him, and said: "The mountain robe is injured, and they are all their own brothers, so there is no need to be polite!" ”

The Heavenly King also said, "Qing Pao said well. Mountain robe, you take care of your body, it is important to take care of your injuries. Today, you can discuss the military situation, and you can send someone. ”

"Brother Tianwang and Brother Dongwang carry love, Yunshan is grateful! With the blessing of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother, Yun Shan was only slightly injured, and there was no obstacle in marching to fight and killing demons. Feng Shaoguang thought that if I didn't come, maybe I would even be deprived of the title of the nominal chief general of the rear army with the lowest combat power, but there was a humble look on his lips.

He also saw Xiao Chaogui, the king of the west, and Wei Changhui, the king of the north, in turn.

Xiao Chaogui has a handsome face and a tall and majestic body, and he can't tell that he is from a peasant in the countryside of Guangxi, and his arrogant appearance is completely written on his face. However, his face was obviously sallow, and he coughed a few times, and it was obvious that he had injuries on his body. Everyone knows that in the battle of Yong'an Breakout, he was seriously injured, and he has been dragging his illness to lead the troops to fight, and he has not recovered yet.

Wei Changhui was stout, not tall, with a white face and a short beard, but his eyes were gloomy and his face was treacherous, Feng Shaoguang secretly reminded himself that he should treat this person the same as he did with the East King, and be careful.

After the greetings, the king of the east spoke first: "Brothers, this time we will gather everyone, just for one thing, to break the city of Quanzhou and avenge the king of the south!" Now my heavenly soldiers have besieged Quanzhou, but the city is thick with high walls, although there are only more than 1,000 demons in the city, but I am afraid to resist to the death. If you can't break the city in a short time, I'm afraid that Xunwu, Yong'an, and Guilin Qing Demon chasers will flock to you, what countermeasures can you have? ”

Feng Shaoguang saw that the King of the East was talking eloquently, and analyzed the military situation faced by the Heavenly Kingdom thoroughly in a few words, and he was worthy of being the only person who could be called a military commander in the early stage of the Heavenly Kingdom. Although he repeatedly excluded and murdered Feng Yunshan, this did not affect Feng Shaoguang's admiration for him in the slightest.

You must know that an orphan who has no father or mother and only has been taken care of by his uncle since he was a child, has never studied, is not very literate, lives in poverty, and burns charcoal to help make ends meet. is also ruthless, delicate, and strategic, such a character, even if it is an enemy, he does not dare to despise it.

The king of the west was straightforward, and said at the moment: "Brother the king of the east, the Qing demon is only a thousand people, let's attack the city directly, and after killing all the cities of Quanzhou, it will naturally be breached." ”

King Bei also hurriedly chimed in: "What your brother-in-law said is reasonable. Kill the demons who defend the city and avenge the king of the south. ”

The Wing King also spoke up: "What the two royal brothers said is very reasonable. There are not many Qing demon troops in the city, and I can attack the city tomorrow, but my heavenly siege equipment is still lacking. If the assault is effective, the city will be directly stormed; If it doesn't work, then use other methods. ”

The king of the west was very proud when he saw that the two kings of the north agreed with him, and then said: "Brother the king of the east, it's so decided, just attack the city directly tomorrow, this still needs to be discussed?" After discussing for a long time, maybe the city would have been broken early. ”

The East King looked at Hong Xiuquan and said, "Heavenly King, the opinions of all the brothers are to attack directly. You see, that's the decision, okay? ”

The Heavenly King raised his eyes, glanced at Feng Shaoguang, and said to the East King: "Qing Pao, how to attack the city, just make a total decision." I only ask that the city be broken as soon as possible and that the evil spirit of the mountain robe be be vented. Yamarobe, what do you think? ”

Feng Shaoguang saw everyone looking at him and replied, "Thank you King for your protection." Yunshan thought that the city of Quanzhou was thick and thick, and the siege equipment of our Heavenly Kingdom was insufficient, and the soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom who attacked it lost too much. Today, Yunshan and the Rigang brothers have discussed, and tonight they will dig a crypt from the forest next to the official road outside the Xiangshan Temple in the west of the city, go straight to the nearest city wall, and then lead the red medicine to explode, so that the holy soldiers of the heavenly kingdom can be damaged and the city will be broken. ”

When the East King heard this, he smiled and said: "The mountain robe is sympathetic to the heavenly soldiers, and its heart is commendable. But for my brother's thoughts, the Qing Demon Pursuers will arrive soon, and the time will not wait for me. After saying that, his face was cold, and he said solemnly: "Tonight, the brothers of the Rigang will send some heavenly soldiers of the latter army to dig the crypt according to the agreement of the king of the south, and the rest of the battalions will launch an attack early tomorrow morning. ”

At dawn the next day, horns rose outside the city of Quanzhou, flags were waving and floating, and the front and middle armies of the Taiping Army began to attack from the north, the first and second left armies from the west, and the right and second left armies from the east.

First, there were several rounds of artillery, rumbling, violent iron bullets and stone bullets hit the city wall, the stone bricks at the city head were smashed into debris flying everywhere, a small number of unlucky Qing demons were hit by the blown up stones, and the ghosts and wolves howled and wailed at the head of the city. But more of the bullets were missed, and the solid bullets hit the city wall, not too powerful, and they couldn't cause much damage.

Cao Xiepei, the governor of Quanzhou City, and Yang Yinghe, the general of the Quanzhou Battalion, knew that the defenders were weak, so they hurriedly released the prisoners to help defend them, and forcibly requisitioned and drove the old people and women in the city to cook porridge and boil tung oil in the city.

Feng Shaoguang was guarded by more than 30 swordsmen led by Lu Qi, and stood more than a mile away outside the western city wall. The artillery of the Kingdom of Heaven had stopped, and groups of soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven rushed forward carrying the ladders.

A tall and majestic city tower stands in front of you, the city tower has the three characters of "Guang'anmen" like painting dragons flying, the city wall is about 6 to 7 meters high, all of which are made of bricks and stones, which are extremely firm. There were battlements every three or four meters at the top of the city wall, and the Qing soldiers hid behind the battlements, poking their heads out from time to time to shoot outside the city wall. The heavenly warriors who flocked to the city carried the ladder, rushed through a moat, put the ladder against the city wall, climbed the ladder and rushed up, dodging from time to time, and from time to time screaming and falling off the city wall and rolling into the trench.

Although Feng Shaoguang has the siege of Guilin in Feng Yunshan's memory, he still feels passionate and tragic at this time. It is no wonder that there is a saying that the siege warfare in this era is completely filled with human lives, and it is impossible to appreciate the tragedy of the battlefield without personally experiencing this bloody scene.

Smelling the stench of burnt hair and blood in the air, Feng Shaoguang almost threw up. He endured it, forcing himself to adapt to the scene.

Seeing that the effect of the strong attack was not great, and the soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom suffered huge losses. Qin Rigang ordered the Lu bus borrowed from the Chinese army to rush to the city wall and attack the city together with the cloud ladder. On the city wall, the Qing army poured the boiling tung oil gruel down, and the Taiping army was splashed, all screamed and fell off the city wall, even if they were only injured, but the injured skin and flesh were rotten, there was no medicine to treat, and the casualties were very serious.

Qin Rigang's latter army and the left army of Yiwang suffered heavy casualties. Seeing that no one had climbed the tower, and that nearly 100 soldiers had been killed or wounded, Feng Shaoguang hurriedly ordered the rear army to withdraw its troops and suspend the siege.

The other front armies and the Chinese armies were similar, with heavy casualties but no major results, and they all suspended their sieges. On the contrary, it was the right army headquarters in the east of the city, and a few people climbed the city tower, but Ye Yonglin, the commander of the Qing demon Qian, who was stationed, led people to counterattack, isolated, and was quickly hacked to death and fell under the city wall.

The city was attacked for three consecutive days, but the city was not broken. Five or six hundred soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom were killed and wounded, and more than 300 Qing troops in the city were also killed or wounded.

Zhizhou Cao Xiepei and general Yang Yinghe sent troops to drive all the people in the city to the city wall to defend the city. After three days of fighting, there was a shortage of ammunition and stones in the city, so Cao Xiepei forcibly demolished the houses in the city and moved the bricks and stones to the city tower for defense.

On the morning of 11 April, Liang Litai, the commander of the Second Army, sent spies to report that Yu Wanqing, the governor of Hunan Province and Liu Changqing, the acting governor of Guangxi, who had set out from Guilin to pursue the Taiping Army, had arrived seven miles west of Quanzhou City the day before yesterday, separated by a bay of the Xiangjiang River, and that the Feiluan wooden bridge connecting both sides of the river bay had already been burned down by the last passing of the latter army. This morning, Yu Wanqing led 7,000 troops to be stationed in Taipingpu in the north of the city, and Liu Changqing led 5,000 troops to be stationed in the area of Lubanqiao in the west of the city, all of which were 134 miles away from Quanzhou City.

Feng Shaoguang showed the report to Zeng Guanlan beside him, and said with a worried face: "My Heavenly Kingdom military affairs are just rising, and I am not good at military reconnaissance, so I will have to suffer a big loss in the future." Guanlan, you see, more than 10,000 Qing demon soldiers were only seven miles away from our military camp the day before yesterday, and none of the soldiers of our Heavenly Kingdom knew how dangerous it was. Fortunately, Yu Wanqing and Liu Changqing, the two Qing demon heads, were timid and fearful, and did not dare to attack and sneak attack, otherwise, our army would be in danger. ”

Zeng Guanlan nodded and said, "King Nan, I have selected more than 30 people in the personal guard camp and the women's camp to teach livelihood skills and meticulous methods for future use. ”

Feng Shaoguang learned that the crypt leading to the city wall outside Xiangshan Temple had been excavated more than 300 steps away, and it was less than 200 steps away. Feng Shaoguang knew that the step in this era was to walk with his left and right feet, and if it was about 1.5 meters away in the later generations, it would seem that it would take two to three days to dig under the city wall.

Zeng Guanlan suddenly mentioned that a few days ago, the oleander branches and leaves around the city of Quanzhou, under the organization of Su Sanniang, the commander of the Later Third Army, had been collected, dried in the shade and bundled into piles. Feng Shaoguang patted his head, he almost forgot about this oleander, it seems that it is better to find a paper to write down important things in the future.

Then, Feng Shaoguang found Lu Qi, the commander of the personal guard battalion, and Su Sanniang, the commander of the three armies behind the women's battalion. Su Sanniang looks like she is in her early thirties, dressed in brocade and shirts, and wrapped in a red scarf on her head, which is outstanding and independent, and heroic. Feng Shaoguang couldn't help but be stunned for a while, until Zeng Guanlan next to him coughed twice before he came back to his senses, and suddenly felt his old face blush.

Su Sanniang has a straightforward personality and is jealous and hateful. After the Jintian Incident, the King of Heaven hinted several times that she could be promoted to be a female guard, of course, on the condition that she would accompany the King of Heaven all day long to be a person around her, Su Sanniang pretended to be stupid at first, and later said directly that she did not want to be a canary, and if the King of Heaven forced her, she would rather commit suicide. made the king unable to get off the stage, and in the end, Feng Yunshan came forward and promoted her to the commander of the women's battalion, and later became the commander of the last three armies, and has been until now.

Originally, seeing that Nanwang had been staring at her straight up, Su Sanniang was still a little annoyed, but when she saw that Nanwang was embarrassed and blushing after being broken, she suddenly felt that Nanwang didn't seem to be the person who was on top, and he was also a little interesting.
