Although it is easy to suffer losses in many cases, the biggest advantage is that it can usually reassure people, and it is not easy to refuse when there is a request, so when it was completely dark, Huang Zilong and Lu Shunde successively sent people to Tan Shaoguang to send news, saying that the reinforcements they sent to Tan Shaoguang had set off on time and rushed to the predetermined location to ambush and wait, ready to help Tan Shaoguang after seeing the signal.

In addition, Huang Zilong and Lu Shunde also directly told Tan Shaoguang the specific situation of the army they sent, so that Tan Shaoguang knew that they sent elite soldiers to help, not old and weak soldiers.

In this regard, Tan Shaoguang was of course very pleased, and he was more and more confident in tonight's victory, and despite the kindness of Wu Xijiu and other generals, he insisted on personally leading the army out of the camp and going to the front line to command this night battle.

Because through various signs, it was found that the Hongqiao Wu army's initiative to surrender was likely to be fraudulent, Tan Shaoguang's tactics formulated by himself were arranged in this way, first of all, to send an army to rush to the Hongqiao camp to ambush according to the agreement, and after seeing the signal sent by the Li brothers, they also launched an attack as agreed, and if Tan Shaoguang just misunderstood the Li brothers, then the Taiping army would go all out to take the Wu army's Hongqiao stronghold. And if the Li brothers really surrendered, the front team of the Taiping army would retreat decisively, and the defeat would in turn lead the Wu army into the ambush circle set up by Tan Shaoguang in the east of Qibao.

Then the real key is the real key, taking advantage of the numerical advantage of the Taiping army, Tan Shaoguang decided to expand the scale of the battle indefinitely, and immediately sent a signal after introducing the Wu army's pursuers into the encirclement, mobilizing the Taiping army on the Qibao battlefield to immediately attack to cut off the return route of the Zhongfu Wu army, forcing the Wu army in Qibao and Hongqiao to send troops to rescue the Zhongfu friendly army, which not only forced the Wu army to fight a high-intensity field decisive battle, but also further lured the snake out of the hole and hollowed out the Wu army's stronghold guards.

At the same time, the Huang Zilong army, who ambushed the Hou in advance, took advantage of the void to take Hongqiao, the follow-up brigade led by Wu Xijiu attacked Qibao, the Taiping army on the Xinzhuang battlefield also immediately launched an attack, and Lu Shunde's department crossed the Huangpu River west to serve as the general reserve.

With this rather complete tactical plan, Tan Shaoguang smoothly led the army into the preset position, and almost unknowingly arranged a pocket formation more than three miles west of Qibao. At the same time, the general Tan Fu led the 500 former army to also take advantage of the cover of night, and also smoothly touched the periphery of Hongqiao and lurked in the darkness.

The moonlight is dim, which is very conducive to night fighting and ambushing, but it is a pity that it is already summer, and there are many mosquitoes at night, and the Taiping soldiers lurking in the grass and thorns will inevitably suffer from it, and even Tan Shaoguang's face and body have been stared at by mosquitoes one after another. However, Tan Shaoguang ignored it, just waited for Wu Jun to arrive with a relaxed expression, and said confidently in his heart for a while: "Come on, even if I guess your ambush tactics wrong, it doesn't matter, as long as you come out to fight in the field tonight." ”

The agreed three corrections have finally arrived, and the reason why the Li brothers agreed on this time is because they introduced that Bao Wu, the Hongqiao guard general of the Wu army, had the habit of personally checking the sentry during the third watch, so they planned to make trouble during this time period. In this regard, although Tan Shaoguang is not very hopeful, he still has a little bit of hope, hoping that a miracle will appear, and the help army can take Hongqiao at a slight cost - so that the Taiping army can still launch an ambush, or take advantage of the false attack to take other strongholds of the Wu army, or take advantage of the opportunity of the Wu army to send troops to rescue to start a field battle, and will never waste troops.

"Bang bang bang! Bang! ”

The sudden sound of gunfire lifted the Taiping army's spirits, and Tan Shaoguang jumped up from his hiding place, quickly raised his binoculars to observe the direction of Hongqiao, and what made Tan Shaoguang both happy and nervous was that there was indeed a trailing gunfire on the side of the Wu army's Hongqiao stronghold, but it was relatively far away, and it was not clear to see the specific situation.

"I hope Tan Fu will grasp the time and don't withdraw too quickly or too slowly."

Originally, Tan Shaoguang was still a little worried that his generals would not be able to grasp the timing of luring the enemy, but what made Tan Shaoguang puzzled was that after about 20 minutes of fierce fighting, there was still only a continuous sound of gunfire on the Hongqiao side, and there was no sign of army movement. Tan Shaoguang was puzzled, but fortunately, after another period of time, a herald sent by Tan Fu rushed over and said to Tan Shaoguang: "Yu Jian Tianyi, after the chaos in the demon camp, our army launched an attack on the demon camp, and successively broke through the two ditch defense lines of the demon soldiers, but encountered the demon soldiers in front of the fence and failed to attack the demon soldiers' camp in one fell swoop!" ”

"Is the civil strife of the demon soldiers true or false? Can you see it? Tan Shaoguang hurriedly asked.

"Hui Jian Tianyi, I can't see it yet." The herald replied truthfully: "We only heard the gunfire in the demon barracks first, and some demon soldiers shouted that there were traitors, and then we attacked. ”

"Really? False? ”

These two words flashed quickly in Tan Shaoguang's mind again, and there was no way to distinguish the enemy situation in front of him. Fortunately, Tan Shaoguang also had some preparation for this, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he said: "Go back and tell Tan Fu to attack with all your might!" Regardless of whether the demon soldiers are ambushed or not, enter the demon soldiers' camp first! ”

The herald agreed, and immediately rushed back to give the order, Tan Shaoguang gritted his teeth extremely tightly, and said secretly: "No matter what tricks you demon soldiers play, I just don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, you don't expose the purpose, and I don't expose the main force!" ”

At this time, several nearby Wu army strongholds were already in flames, and it was obvious that the Wu army soldiers in the stronghold heard that the gunfire was wrong, and hurriedly got up to strengthen night precautions, but none of the Wu troops in any stronghold dared to take the initiative to go out of the camp to reinforce Hongqiao. As a result, this also made Tan Shaoguang shake again, and he couldn't help but secretly say: "Could it be that the Li family brothers are really descending?" It's just that you didn't have the luck to succeed? The movement of the main force of the demon soldiers during the day today is also a misunderstanding that we have made carefully? ”

Vacillation is vacillation, but this vacillation is not enough to make Tan Shaoguang change his position and take the initiative to expose his main force position and combat intentions, Tan Shaoguang still made up his mind to respond to all changes with the same and continued to wait patiently, and he has not sent a general offensive signal, beckoning the reinforcements sent by Huang Zilong and Lu Shunde to participate in the battle.

In the end, on the contrary, Wu Xijiu, the right-hand man who was waiting in the rear with the brigade, couldn't hold his breath and sent someone to contact Tan Shaoguang and ask when to launch a general attack? Tan Shaoguang replied: "Tell Oh Tianyan to wait patiently, and without an order, he is never allowed to act without authorization." ”

"Jian Tianyi, there seems to be something wrong in the east."

The careful reminder of the soldiers made Tan Shaoguang subconsciously turn his head to look east, and saw that there was indeed some strange light in the night sky directly east, it seemed that the clouds were reflecting the fire on the ground, Tan Shaoguang's heart also jumped suddenly, and he said secretly: "What's wrong?" It's like there's a war over there, huh? ”

"Boom! Bang! ”

The two muffled thunders and the sudden two fires that came relatively close to the east made Tan Shaoguang's heart jump again, and he subconsciously asked, "What is the location?" ”

"There, it looks like a ......, it looks like a pontoon."

The answer given by the pro-soldier hesitate made Tan Shaoguang almost faint directly, and when Tan Shaoguang hurriedly sent someone to understand the situation, the Xinzhuang battlefield sent the news through Wu Xijiu first, and said: "Jian Tianyi, the pontoon bridge we built on the Huangpu River was blown up by the demon sailors!" ”

"What do the pontoon guards eat? Why didn't you stop it? Tan Shaoguang was rarely angry, and yelled and asked, "Also, didn't Lu Shunde send Lu Rifa to guard there with more than a thousand troops?" All dead? Why didn't you do your best to keep the pontoon? ”

"Hui Jian Tianyi, the demon soldiers and sailors have come too much, and they have used fast-firing foreign cannons and palm mines, so our heavenly brothers guarding the pontoon bridge can't stop it."

The messenger of Xinzhuang explained, and said: "Before the demon soldier sailor started, Prime Minister Lu Cheng's camp first found that there was a sneak attack by demon soldiers, and General Lu was afraid that Prime Minister Lu was in danger, so he hurriedly took the army back to rescue, but General Lu just left on the front foot, and the demon soldier and sailor came to blow up the bridge on the back foot." ”

Hearing this, Tan Shaoguang's head was dizzy at first, and he almost fainted on the spot, but after fortunately holding the soldiers next to him to stand firm, Tan Shaoguang quickly flashed such a thought in his mind, "Lu Shunde is in danger and is going to suffer a big loss." ”

This is also the only analysis and speculation that Tan Shaoguang dares to fully confirm tonight.
