At noon, Wu Chaocai swaggered to the Tuanshan position, and finally stopped sneakily hiding behind the chickens and dogs, and played his own Wu character handsome banner openly, as well as the chaste archway that has not been abandoned so far - the banner of the Nanwang of Daqing Town.

Liu Mingchuan ran to Wu Chaoyue to plead guilty at the first time, and honestly admitted that he was too light on the enemy in the Wuhewa blockade battle, failed to take advantage of the favorable terrain in the Wuhewa area to effectively attack and weaken the Taiping army, and almost gave the Taiping army a chance to break through.

Wu Chaoyue was not polite, and said to Liu Ming in public: "Provincial three, I already know what happened, although I can't completely blame you for fighting so hard last night, it has a lot to do with the long-haired ones who are too desperate, but you are indeed too careless to the enemy, and you did not make good use of the advantages of our artillery fire and grenade shells, and needlessly increased too many casualties." This must go unpunished, otherwise I will not be able to explain to the soldiers who died in battle. ”

"In this way, I will demote you by one level, punish you for three months, and still keep your original post for meritorious service, I hope you can remember this lesson, next time don't be so careless about the enemy, you must put the lives of soldiers first, and minimize unnecessary sacrifices."

Liu Mingchuan received the order only as promised, and Wu Chaoyue praised Lei Zhenxing, the general of the Wu Army in Hunan who immediately took the opportunity to enter the white-knuckle battle, and Wu Zifa, the general of the Wu Army in Guizhou who successfully prevented the Taiping Army from seizing the head of Maoshan and had a dangerous foothold, and gave encouragement and reward, and then went to the front line to observe the enemy's situation. As a result, he raised the telescope and only took a cursory look at the position of the Taiping Army's regimental mountain, and Wu Chaoyue immediately said: "Changmao wants to break through, just tonight." ”

"King Zhennan, how do you see that?" Feng Sanbao asked beside him.

"Because the longhair didn't build too many fortifications." Wu Chaoyue replied: "If Changmao plans to stay in Tuanshan for a long time, even if the camp tent is basically lost and there is no way to establish a camp, he will definitely dig more shallow holes to avoid artillery and weaken the threat of our sailor's artillery fire to them, but Changmao did not do this, but only used the narrow terrain to the north of Tuanshan to build a simple fortification, which is enough to show that Changmao does not plan to stay in Tuanshan for a long time, and will soon break through and flee for his life." ”

After that, Wu Chaoyue added confidently and said: "It must be to launch a breakthrough tonight, the time has been delayed for a long time, our fortifications are well built, there is no hope for Long Hair, and there is no hope for Long Hair to break through during the day." ”

The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, after listening to Wu Chaoyue's words, of course, the generals of the Wu army next to him are like a tide, and they all praise Wu Chaoyue's clever calculations, and they are like gods. Then Feng Sanbao, who was in charge of presiding over the construction of the blocking fortifications, immediately said: "King Zhennan, rest assured, the last general will urge the soldiers to step up the construction of the fortifications, and never give Changmao any chance to escape." ”

"Prepare more firewood, grass and branches, and spread a layer in the trench." Wu Chaoyue instructed: "Prepare enough sulfur and oil, and if the situation is not right, set fire to the trench to block the long-haired charge and buy us time for contingencies." ”

Feng Sanbao agreed and hurriedly followed the order. Wu Chaoyue sent people to the division of the water division, so that Xu Lai and others could prepare for the artillery bombardment, only waiting for the initial improvement of the Wu army's blocking position, and immediately covered the Tuanshan position with firepower when he saw the signal, forcing the Taiping army to attack the Wu army's defensive position in turn, and also disrupted the established plan of the Taiping army to break through at night, preparing to use positional warfare to weaken the Taiping army first, and then launch an attack the next day to deal a fatal blow to the remaining Taiping army.

Or after Wu Chaoyue's arrangement was over, Dai Wenjie, a staff member of the army who was on the side, said: "King Zhennan, are you thinking about surrendering?" Longhair has no way out, and at this time, sending someone to come forward to surrender will have a much greater chance of success than usual? ”

Wu Chaoyue hesitated a little, and only said after a while: "What's the use of coming over?" The battle has reached this point, and Shi Da's long hair is still unrelenting, most of them are obsessed with cults and stubborn, and there is almost no possibility of transformation. Recruit them over, leaving them is a hidden danger, letting them go is a tiger returning to the mountain, keeping them locked up is a waste of food, and if you kill them, ......, hehe, isn't the infamy on our back? ”

Although it is clear that it is difficult to succeed in recruiting and surrendering, and even if it succeeds, there will be endless disasters, but for the sake of everyone being anti-Qing comrades-in-arms, Wu Chaoyue still slapped himself in the mouth once, and changed his words and said: "Let's give it a try, Mr. Wenjie, write a letter to Shi Dakai for me, and persuade him to put down his arms and surrender with his long hair." Tell him clearly that only if he leads the team to surrender, I will spare him from dying, and I will not kill any of the surrendered soldiers, and sell all of them overseas to work as laborers for foreigners. ”

Wu Chaoyue had done this in Shanghai before, of course Dai Wenjie was not surprised to hear it, and promised to write a letter to Shi Dakai as soon as he wrote a book, Wu Chaoyue glanced at Shi Dakai's banner in the distance, sighed quietly, and said secretly: "This is the opportunity I give you, whether you live or die depends on yourself." ”

The letter of persuasion was quickly sent over by the Taiping captives captured before, and the result was quite surprising to Wu Chaoyue, after a considerable period of time, the Taiping army actually sent a messenger to the front of the Wu army with a white flag, and shouted loudly: "Please report to the king of Zhennan Chitose, our surrender can be discussed, but we are not willing to be sold to foreigners as laborers, please change the conditions of the king of Zhennan." Otherwise, we would rather fight to the last soldier than surrender! ”

The Taiping Army's reply was quickly reported to Wu Chaoyue, and the treacherous Wu Chaoyue was suspicious when he heard the general's letter, but in order to reduce the casualties of the soldiers and clear the rest of Shi Dakai as soon as possible, Wu Chaoyue still gave Shi Dakai another opportunity and ordered: "Go and tell the long-haired envoys and ask them what conditions they want?" Tell them to send a long-haired man of sufficient weight to come and negotiate in person to prove their sincerity in surrender. ”

Wu Chaoyue's reply message was brought back by the Taiping army envoy, but after a long time, Shi Dakai really sent his nephew Huang Guisheng to the front of the Wu army to put forward the surrender conditions on his behalf, asking Wu Chaoyue to promise in public not to kill the Taiping army's soldiers, and to give the Taiping army dry food to let the Taiping army return to their hometowns, and swear in public that they would never break their promises.

Out of the long-term consideration of recruiting other Taiping troops, Wu Chaoyue agreed to the surrender conditions proposed by the Taiping army, and swore in public that he would never break his promise. At the same time, unconsciously, even Wu Chaoyue didn't pay attention to the fact that the time had been delayed by the Taiping army until the evening......

After another period of time, when the sky was slightly dark, a man wearing a yellow royal uniform suddenly walked out of the Taiping army formation, under the banner of Shi Dakai, leading several men wearing the uniform of the Taiping army to slowly walk towards the Wu army's position, and shouted from a distance: "Don't shoot, our Yiwang 8,000 years old has come to surrender, and our Yiwang 8,000 years old has come to surrender." ”

Hearing this, and saw Shi Dakai wearing a royal costume come to surrender in person, of course, there was cheering on the Wu army's position, and Feng Sanbao, who was responsible for the frontal blockade, couldn't wait to send troops out to get people, and took Shi Dakai and others who took the initiative to surrender very smoothly and escorted them back to the Wu army's formation......

At this time, a herald suddenly rushed in front of Feng Sanbao with Wu Chaoyue's token, and said loudly: "Feng Titai, the king of Zhennan has an order, don't trust Changmao to surrender!" Immediately ignite the trench firewood and grass, and the whole army is on alert to prevent the long hair from taking the opportunity to break through! ”
