Gui Liang still couldn't return to Beijing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He was asked by Feng Yunshan to Liu Shengbang to send the palace guards to watch him, and another messenger was sent to take Gui Liang's handwritten letter and send it to Prince Gong.

Another detained general of the monk Grinqin, Bayana, was held alone and interrogated about the strength of the city.

However, Zuo Zongtang found some clues, and asked Gui Liang again, Gui Liang could only explain honestly, saying that Mu Yin, Bayana and others had a task on their bodies, and they took the opportunity to make sure that the Holy King was not in Sanbeizi Garden.

Zuo Zongtang recalled the various circumstances during the negotiation, and couldn't help but boldly guess that the Qing Demon wanted to make sure that the Holy King was not in Sanbeizi Garden, and the purpose was to carry out the beheading operation and send troops to attack and kill. Thinking like this, Zuo Zongtang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and immediately reported his conjecture to Feng Yunshan.

When Feng Yunshan heard this, he also agreed with Zuo Zongtang's judgment. Either way, it's always good to take precautions.

There were not many soldiers in the west of the city, only 10,000 soldiers of the Eighth Division. It is barely enough to besiege the west of the city, but if the Qing soldiers secretly rush out quickly with cavalry, and the captives are not prepared, they are still likely to be broken through the defense line and attack the Sanbeizi Garden.

And once Feng Yunshan is really in Sanbeizi Garden, it is really very likely that he will be attacked and killed by the Qing cavalry.

Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan was also frightened, no matter whether the Manchu Qing had such intentions or not, he had to take precautions. However, if the Qing army really attacked at night, it could be used to wait for them to surrender and arrest.

So, Feng Yunshan immediately asked Zuo Zongtang to summon Chen Tianshi, the commander of the Eighth Division, to arrange it.

In the second half of the night, the Xizhi Gate in the west of Beijing creaked open, and a large number of Mongolian elite cavalry and Eight Banners cavalry swarmed out, led by the elder brother of Seng Lingqin, Lang Bulinqin.

And several of Seng Greenqin's powerful generals, the deputy commander Deleng, the assistant leader Su Kejin and others, closely guarded Monk Greenqin, and fought bravely in the cavalry middle army.

Rambrin rushed to the front. Thinking that when the thieves were not paying attention, they rushed into the camp of the thieves and killed or captured the thief chieftain, then he must be a great achievement, perhaps, the emperor will also reward himself as the prince, not to mention the prince, at least he is also a county king, so in this way, his Borzigit family can restore the glory of the golden family, one family and two princes, what glory should it be?

Thinking of this, Lang Blinqin was excited, and he clamped the war horse fiercely, raising the speed even more.

Soon, the advance of the Qing army led by Lang Bulinqin crossed the moat and rushed out of the city for nearly two miles. At this time, there was still no shadow of the thief in front of him. Lang Blinqin couldn't help but be a little puzzled, as usual, the thieves had already begun to move 2 miles away from the city, how could they not see anyone now? Could it be that the military discipline of the thieves is so poor, they didn't go to the sentry at all, and they all went to sleep?

In the entire west of the city, there seems to be no trace of thieves! It was so weird that a strong uneasiness swelled up in Ramblinqin's heart.

At this time, the Qing army had already rushed to the front of the Sanbeizi Garden.

Lang Blinqin didn't think much about it, he held his saber high, turned his head and shouted at the Mongolian cavalry behind him: "Brothers, follow me to kill the thief!" ”

He led more than 1,000 cavalry to rush to both sides, trying to surround the entire manor.

Suddenly, the war horse neighed in pain, and suddenly crooked, but it was the horse's hooves stepping on something sharp, presumably a sharp weapon such as an iron thistle. However, the rest of the cavalry beside him were not so lucky, and several of them fell.

"Just rush through here!" Rambrinqin turned over and jumped on another war horse and continued to charge forward. At this moment, a burst of fire flashed on the opposite side, a dense burst of gunfire rang out, and dozens of Qing soldiers were shot and fell off their horses.

"It's not good, it's an ambush of thieves!" Rambrinqin screamed, and was about to give the order to stop the attack, but there was a sharp pain in his chest, and he was hit by a musket, and the great force of the impact threw him off his horse, and he felt that the sky was spinning, and he was no longer conscious.

The monk in the back also heard the gunfire in front, but for a while, he couldn't figure out the specific situation, but he had already rushed to the destination, so he had to order the whole army to speed up the attack.

What he thought was that if the thief chieftain was caught or killed, even if all these Qing soldiers were killed, it would be worth it.

I only heard the sound of gunfire continuously, and the Qing army did not know how many men had been lost.

Monk Lingqin finally led the main cavalry force to break open the gate of the manor, tear down the wall, and at the sound of an order, they rushed to the middle of the manor.

As soon as they rushed into the manor, but by the faint light of the torches, the Qing army found thousands of thieves, passing through the wooden bridge over an east-west canal in the manor, and hurriedly retreating to the north of the manor. The deputy commander Deleng just wanted to lead the cavalry to chase and kill, but with a loud bang, the wooden bridge of the canal leading to the north exploded violently, and more than ten cavalrymen were killed and injured, and the wooden bridge was blown to pieces.

The deputy capital commander Deleng could only watch the thieves flee.

At the same time, two wooden bridges and a stone arch bridge over the canal that surrounded the center of the estate exploded.

"Oh no, the thieves have been prepared for a long time, and they actually laid a trap in advance!" Monk Greenqin was shocked, and the secret way was not good, so he hurriedly sent Deleng to investigate.

Then, dozens of cavalry circled around, and only then did they find to their horror that the center of the manor, where their more than 2,000 cavalry were located, was actually a peninsula surrounded by canals, and the bridge had been bombed, and they could only leave through a passage that rushed in.

Monk Lingqin hurriedly gave the order, quickly turned the horse's head, retreated backwards, and joined the cavalry behind.

At this moment, only a few rumbling cannons were heard, and then dozens of cannons rang out, and two large groups of thieves came out from the north and south, breaking the Qing army into two sections, and thousands of people blocked the passage into the peninsula in the east.

The thieves, who had fled to the north, turned around and made a detour to the eastern passage to join the battle.

Monk Greenqin's face is like ashes! He never expected that the thieves seemed to know that he would come to attack at night, and set up a trap in an ambush in advance.

Originally, he wanted to attack and kill the thief chieftain, but now he didn't even see the shadow of the thief chieftain, so he suffered heavy casualties, and even the main cavalry force was besieged. No one could have imagined that the bridge, which was fine just now, could be blown to pieces in one fell swoop and trap itself on an isolated island.

Thinking of this, he waved his saber vigorously and roared angrily to boost his morale: "Brothers, only by rushing out can you survive!" Kill with this king! ”

After speaking, he took the lead, led hundreds of soldiers around him, and fought hard to kill to the east!

And the deputy commander Deleng and the assistant leader Su Kejin and others also hurriedly led the troops to follow, struggling to move the war horses and swarming up.

Boom, dozens of shells attacked, dozens of Qing cavalrymen turned on their backs, and together with the war horses behind, they also tripped over more than ten horsemen. Immediately afterwards, a frenzied burst of gunfire rang out, and it turned out that the north and south sides of the entire peninsula, as well as the east and three directions, opened fire at the same time, shooting frantically.

The Qing army fell two or three hundred horsemen at once.
