Lost in the east corner, harvested Sangyu, the naval raid team led by Huang Hejin failed to ambush the Wu army fleet, but the main force of the Taiping naval division led by Wu Ruxiao made an unexpected gain on the same night - actually took Wuxi City.

In order to withdraw and return to the Jiangyin battlefield at any time, Wu Ruxiao actually did not make any preparations for attacking the city at all, but just sent the army to Wuxi City to show off his might a little, but Wu Ruxiao never dreamed that the next night after the intimidation, the frightened Wuxi County Commander actually took the initiative to abandon the city and fled, and the Qing soldiers and villagers in the city also dispersed with a bang, and the Taiping army entered the city without much effort, and the people in the city also burned incense to welcome the Taiping army into the city.

However, for the current Taiping Army, in addition to being able to provide them with some help in terms of money and food, Wuxi is purely a chicken rib general existence, and there are no extra troops in their hands to guard and control, and it is a pity to lose it - controlling Wuxi is equivalent to cutting off the main artery of the waterway between Changzhou and Suzhou Mansions, and affecting the supply of grain and grass to the main battlefield of Ningzhenyang in southern Jiangsu of the Manchu Dynasty. Therefore, after receiving the news of the failure of Huang Hejin's ambush of Wu's fleet, Wu Ruxiao could only take a compromise, let the general Xie Changsha lead a second-line army of about 1,000 people to stay in Wuxi City, and lead the main force back to Jiangyin to help Lin Fengxiang deal with Wu Chaoyue, looking for if he could defeat Wu Chaoyue, and then divide heavy troops to completely control Wuxi and open up a base area in southern Jiangsu.

Of course, the area south of the Yangtze River is the fastest moving speed of the water division, when Wu Ruxiao returned to Jiangyin City with the Taiping Army Water Division, Wu Jun Lian Yong didn't even know where the shadow was, and as a result, this naturally gave the Taiping Army time to prepare calmly, and at the same time, Lin Fengxiang and Wu Ruxiao were also people who could afford to let go. So after meeting, Lin Fengxiang and Wu Ruxiao did not regret that they could not defeat Wu Jun Lian Yong in the water battle, but immediately discussed the battle plan.

Since Wu Jun Lian Yong came on foot, Bai gave the Taiping Army a chance to work at ease, of course Lin and Wu would not consider moving the camp, but only focused on the choice of the battlefield. There are only two ways for Wu Jun Lianyong to settle in Jiangyin, the first is to cross the river at Yangshe (Shazhou). Go through Xiangshan and enter the city through the east gate; The second is to go directly to the west through Huashu, to cross the river outside the south gate of Jiangyin and pass through the city.

Taking the second road is undoubtedly the most dangerous for Wu Chaojun's army, not to mention that the Henghe River is also suitable for the Taiping Army's sailors' small pulling boats, which can maneuver and flexibly attack the task position of the Wu army's troops, and it is even more dangerous to cross the Henghe River north under the nose of the main force of the Taiping Army - crossing the river is the most vulnerable time for an army's psychology. Considering Wu Chaoyue's treacherous and cunning, Lin Fengxiang and Wu Ruxiao immediately decided that Wu Chaoyue would never take this road, and they also concentrated all their energy on the first route, racking their brains to lay a trap on this road and let Wu Chaoyue drill into it.

OK. After repeated discussions, Lin Fengxiang and Wu Ruxiao decided to divide the water division into two, Wu Ruxiao led the main force out of the Jiangyin Canal to fight on the Yangtze River, and Huang Hejin led fifty small boats to form a naval raid team in the canal; Lin Fengxiang sent his generals to lead 3,000 troops to Xiangshan to ambush, and left the main battalion as the general reserve, and at the same time sent people to destroy all the bridges on the Henghe River and seize all the ships. Forced Wu Chaoyue to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river!

In this way, Wu Chaoyue would either have to take the more dangerous second road to enter the city from the south gate of Jiangyin. Either they can only build bridges over the Henghe River to cross the river, regardless of whether Wu Jun Lianyong builds a pontoon bridge or a relatively strong wooden bridge, as long as Wu Jun Lianyong starts to cross the river, the sailor raid team led by Huang Hejin can launch an assault, set fire to the bridge, and divide Wu Jun Lianyong into two; Then Wang Yizhong led the ambush soldiers to kill from Xiangshan. Wu Ruxiao led the main force of the naval division down the river from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and cooperated with Wang Yizhong's Wu army, who could not respond to the front and rear of the two-way attack, to practice bravery, but it was difficult not to win the battle!

After discussing this ambush plan and quickly arranging the ambush in place under the cover of night, Lin Fengxiang and Wu Ruxiao's hearts also began to look forward to it. Together he secretly said in his heart: "Beyond the little demon, come on, we can't wait." ”

Wu Chaoyue did not disappoint Lin Fengxiang and Wu Ruxiao, the next morning, the two thousand Wu army Lian Yong, who traveled forty miles a day, finally came to the vicinity of Yangshe Town unhurriedly, the war was raging, most of the people in the town had fled, and the rest of the people were almost hiding at home and did not dare to come out, only Yang She's land guard brought a few villagers to meet Wu Chaoyue's army with trepidation, and cried to Wu Chaoyue as soon as they met: "Master, you are finally here, now we are finally saved." Master, we are suffering from the long hair pit! ”

"What? Long Hair killed people and set fire to Yang She? Wu Chaoyue looked at the situation in Yangshe Town with some doubts, but did not see any traces of destruction.

"Long Mao didn't kill those mud legs, he just killed us local gentry." Di Bao cried: "The richer you are, the more you extort from Changmao, and if you don't give it, you will kill and rob it, and the small one is that the family has more than 30 acres ......of land, and he was forced to pay more than 600 catties of grain and more than 30 taels of silver by Changmao, and he almost didn't let the small one go bankrupt." ”

Yang She Xiangyong quietly pulled so that the local security could not finish speaking, and then the local security also immediately woke up, and quickly changed his words and said: "The small one has been bankrupt, and the small one has been ruined by the long hair, and the family can't even open the pot." ”

Wu Chaoyue noticed Xiang Yong's small movements, and also understood the reason for the change of words, so he said: "Don't be afraid, this official is here to eradicate the long hair, and he will not ask you for food and silver, nor will he force your local government to donate money and grain, and tell the local people for the official, so that they can rest assured that they will come out to farm and work, and don't delay the major agricultural affairs." In addition, if our soldiers harass and bully the people, they should not be afraid, they can directly go to the officer to complain, and the officer will definitely make the decision for them. ”

Yang She Dibao and several townsmen all suspected that their ears had heard it wrong, and the Dibao also asked cautiously: "Dare to ask this master, are you really the military master under the command of Master Wu of Ning Zhenshou Patrol Road?" ”

"I am Wu Chaoyue."

Wu Chaoyue replied casually, but as soon as the words fell, the local security and several villagers were already so frightened that they all fell to their knees, and the local security also shouted with a crying voice: "Master Wu, Master Wu." The little one didn't lie to you, the small one's home was really robbed by the long hair, and the little daughter-in-law was also ruined by the long hair and jumped into the river and drowned, if you don't believe it, Master Wu, you can ask a few of them, and a few of them can testify for me! ”

Several villagers all kowtowed desperately. Echoing the words of the land protector, Wu Chaoyue was confused, not understanding why these people were so afraid of themselves - as if they were afraid that they would rob their home and daughter-in-law. In the end, it was Zhao Liewen who woke up and whispered to Wu Chaoyue: "Weiting, I heard that during the period when your uncle Liu Lichuan led the army to garrison Jiangyin, the military discipline was very bad, and it seems that the rumors are true. ”

finally woke up and secretly cursed Liu Lichuan, whose whereabouts are still unknown, that it is best to die tragically in the Yangtze River to feed the fish. Then Wu Chaoyue didn't have the face to explain to the Dibao, but only asked about the situation of the Taiping Army. The local protector replied tremblingly: "Back to Master Wu, I heard that Changmao is camped on the west bank of the canal, and there is no Changmao on the east bank. However, yesterday afternoon, Changmao didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, so he suddenly sent some boats to Yang She's side and burned down the two wooden bridges on the Henghe River, and Jiangyin City didn't dare to send troops to kill them. There are only a few small subordinates, and they don't dare to care. ”

"Burned the bridge?" Wu Chaoyue's eyebrows raised slightly. Then he immediately instructed Wu Dadao and other soldiers next to him: "Pass the order to go down, but Henghe, continue to move west, and then cross the Henghe River and enter the city outside the south gate of Jiangyin." Also, tell our brothers that they are not allowed to trample on farmland. Violators of orders will be engaged in military law! ”

Wu Dadao and other pro-soldiers agreed, and immediately rushed down to give the order, but Zhao Liewen next to him was taken aback, and hurriedly said to Wu Chaoyue: "Comfort Pavilion." Longhair burned the bridge, although there must be strange things, but to cross the river at the south gate of Jiangyin, in any case, it is more dangerous than crossing the river here, do you think about how to enter the army? ”

"Huifu, the last thing you can do on the battlefield is what the enemy wants you to do." Wu Chaoyue replied: "Long hair destroys the bridge, if we want to cross the river, we must build a temporary bridge, this must be expected by Long Hair, and Long Hair will definitely set a trap for this, if we don't want to be ambushed, the only way is not to enter the trap that Long Hair has arranged in advance." It is indeed more dangerous to enter the city through the south gate of Jiangyin, but this is definitely beyond Changmao's expectations, and it is more beneficial for us to disrupt Changmao's deployment. ”

After that, Wu Chaoyue also smiled toothily, and said: "Besides, the people here have already run away, and if we want to build a bridge here, we can only do it ourselves, build a bridge outside the south gate of Jiangyin, and with Yang Wending to help us, we can save our strength to deal with Changmao." ”

felt that Wu Chaoyue's words were reasonable, and knew that Wu Chaoyue's battlefield experience was richer than his own, Zhao Liewen didn't say much, just honestly followed Wu Chaoyue to lead the army. Leaving the local security and a few villagers kneeling on the ground and looking at each other, and then seeing that Wu Jun Lianyong really deliberately paid attention to not trampling on the farmland, the local security officer also said to himself: "Is he really Master Wu?" Really? His soldiers are completely different from Master Wu's previous soldiers? ”

Wu Chaoyue deliberately chose the most dangerous road to march into the army, and of course this hand caught the Taiping army by surprise, so that Lin Fengxiang and Wu Ruxiao's carefully arranged land and water ambushes completely lost their effect. So after receiving the scout report, Lin Fengxiang also scolded his mother again, and then Lin Fengxiang did not dare to delay, so he could only quickly send someone to recall the ambush soldiers of Wu Ruxiao and Wang Yizhong, and at the same time immediately personally led the army out of the camp, preparing to meet the old enemy Wu Chaoyue who came from afar, and ordered Huang Hejin to build a pontoon bridge on the Jiangyin Canal with a boat to facilitate the Taiping army to cross the river.

At the beginning of the afternoon, 2,000 Wu troops carrying eight artillery pieces slowly marched to the south gate of Jiangyin, while the Taiping army had already lined up on the west bank of the canal, and another 1,000 Taiping soldiers had already crossed the canal and lined up about six miles outside the south gate of Jiangyin, ready to surprise Wu Chaoyue's army at any time.

The Qing army on the city wall of Jiangyin was very happy - because they had already been frightened by the strict formation of the Taiping army, Yang Wending also stomped on the city wall again and again, constantly complaining, "This Wu Chaoyue, Long Mao has already lined up, why is he still going here, isn't this a chance for Long Mao to break him?" ”

In addition to complaining, Yang Wending also had this idea again, "Wu surpasses that little horseman, don't use a group of rabble to shake off some officials, right?" The last time he sent that Liu Lichuan, he also looked glamorous on the surface, but when he really arrived on the battlefield, he actually didn't dare to fight hard than those green battalions under Hechun. ”

If Lin Fengxiang arranged all the main forces on the east bank of the canal, then Wu Chaoyue would have to be afraid of it, but since Lin Fengxiang only arranged a thousand troops on the east bank of the canal. Self-revealing timidity. Wu Chaoyue naturally didn't need to worry, he just regarded the Taiping Army as nothing, and took Wu Jun Lian Yong directly to meet the Taiping Army who were waiting for him, and Wu Jun Lian Yong, who had participated in the Jiangning War with Wu Chaoyue, also spoke one after another, encouraging the morale of the recruits, "Brothers. Don't be afraid, in the last Jiangning battle, there were forty or fifty thousand people in the long hair that surrounded us, and we only had about 400 people, so there was nothing long hair could do with us! Now we have 2,000 people, and there are only a few thousand of them, as long as you do what you did when you trained, this little bit of long hair will not be enough to stuff us between our teeth! ”

found a place in the canal where the water flowed slowly and was suitable for crossing the river, and let the two thousand Lian Yong discharge four hollow phalanxes. He also aimed the eight artillery pieces he brought with the army at the main force of the Taiping army on the west bank of the canal. Wu Chaoyue sent a personal soldier who knew how to cross the river first, and asked him to go down to Jiangyin City to shout, and asked the defenders in Jiangyin City to send people out to help build a pontoon bridge, but the reply given by the Jiangyin defenders made Wu Chaoyue smile bitterly, "Who is your main general?" Is Wu Daotai here?? ”

There was no choice, Wu Chaoyue could only send Wu Dadao to cross the river with his own seal letter to prove that he had personally led the army here, and Yang Wending trembled and sent hundreds of soldiers out of the city with tools. helped Wu Chaoyue build a pontoon bridge to cross the river, and at the same time asked Bing Yong to carry out a few sampans hidden in the city in advance. Help Wu Jun train bravely to carry artillery across the river. - Then as soon as Bing Yong left the city, Yang Wending immediately closed the city gate and pulled the drawbridge into the air.

When the Jiangyin defenders were in a panic and built the bridge, Lin Fengxiang's side always stood still, waiting patiently until the fighter plane appeared, and the Taiping Army Naval Division raid team led by Huang Hejin was stationed at the mouth of the river. Ready to enter the Henghe River at any time to destroy the pontoon bridge of the Qing army, in addition, the Taiping army ambush led by Wang Yizhong also moved to the lower reaches of the Henghe River, lining up and waiting for the opportunity to launch a surprise attack. As a result, Wu Chaoyue had to divide the artillery into four and arrange it to the east, aiming at Wang Yizhong's army from afar.

The utensils are sufficient, and the Yokogawa is not very wide. It didn't take much time to cross the pontoon bridge to be easily built, and after sending someone to check the strength of the bridge, Wu Chaoyue still did not order to cross the river, but asked Yang Wending to take out some iron chains from the city and nail them to the banks of the river to intercept the Taiping army's sailor raiders. In order to protect the integrity of the charging path of the sailor raid team, Lin Fengxiang decisively ordered a hundred elite soldiers to swim across the canal and go to the north bank of the Henghe River to stop the Qing soldiers from nailing piles.

The battle finally began, seeing the Taiping soldiers crossing the river to kill, the Qing soldiers immediately threw down their weapons and ran away, Wu Chaoyue ordered repeatedly, with a wave of his thin hand, the Wu army of two sentry Lian Yong immediately crossed the formation, one sentry stepped on the bridge to cross the river to protect the ferry, and the other sentry rushed to the shore to suppress the Taiping army's charge with a firing pin gun, and Wu Da also rushed up with twenty snipers to help. Then the gunfire was loud, and the Taiping soldiers who crossed the river and charged fell to the ground one after another, and twenty or thirty people lay down in the blink of an eye, and the long-suppressed cheers finally sounded on the Jiangyin city wall.

I still have to praise the heroic and good fighting of the Taiping soldiers, in the case of absolute disadvantage in weapons and equipment, there are still many Taiping warriors who rushed to the ferry, but it was still useless, first by the Wu Jun Lian Yong who fought in a queue as a live target, and then paid a heavy price to finally rush to the close place, and must be able to fight less and more with Wu Jun Lian Yong to fight bayonets, always beware of Wu Jun Lian Yong's sudden cold shot with a revolver. In the end, before more than fifteen minutes of fighting, most of the 100 Taiping soldiers were already scattered, and only more than 30 people fled in disarray.

More than 1,000 Taiping soldiers launched a charge under the personal leadership of Wang Yizhong, and also killed directly at the ferry, while Wu Chaoyue increased the troops on the north bank of the Henghe River to a battalion and ordered artillery to fire.

Finally, it was Wu Chaoyue's turn to use the heavy money to buy the breezed rifled guns from the British, under the personal correction of the Wu Army artillery battalion officer Meng Qi, the two rear loading guns in the east fired the first round, and the two flowering shells filled with bitter acid accurately entered the Taiping army charging crowd, and then, the sudden explosion of the shells of course surprised the Taiping soldiers who had been accustomed to solid shells, and suffered heavy casualties under surprise, and several particularly unlucky Taiping soldiers were ignited by the bitter acid flame on their clothes and hair, and were burned to the ground crying wolf and rolling all over the ground, but the flames on his body are still not extinguished, and he died a miserable death.

Although he had known for a long time that Wu Chaoyue was not easy to deal with, when it came time to really fight, Lin Fengxiang realized that he still underestimated Wu Chaoyue - this time Wu Chaoyue was even more difficult to deal with than the last time! Frightened, Lin Fengxiang did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the sailor raid team to attack, deciding to smash the pontoon bridge first to cut off the front and back contact of Wu Jun Lianyong, and first eat a battalion of Wu Jun who had already crossed and drank.

Lin Fengxiang still thought too simply, his sailor raid team had just entered the firing range, and was also immediately hit head-on by the Wu army's rear-loading cannons, high-precision shells accurately smashed into the Taiping army's fleet, a cannonball directly smashed a small pull-out boat, and then two shells exploded under the water, and the waves set off overturned two small pull-out boats, which completely disrupted the charge formation of the Taiping army's sailors, and the overly light ships collided and crowded each other in the waves, completely losing the charge advantage. And taking advantage of this opportunity, the increasingly courageous Qing soldiers finally nailed the first chain to stop the ship.

Downstream, the Taiping soldiers led by Wang Yizhong mustered up the courage to rush to the vicinity of the ferry, although they had not had time to rush into the range of Wu Jun's musket practice, a new unexpected blow suddenly came - the two Wu army mortar guns in the east suddenly opened fire together, and the two flowering shells were thrown into the Taiping army crowd in a parabola. Then, like in a textbook, they barely rushed a little further, and were met with another head-on attack from Minnie, followed by the hospitality of the firing pin and carbine, and then the revolver and the shiny bayonet............

By the way, there are also grenade bullets, although the grenade bullets in Wu Jun Lian Yong's hand are pitiful, but a group of Taiping soldiers of about twenty or thirty people rushed to Wu Jun Lian Yong in a group, and a Wu army commander opposite them still threw the first grenade bullet containing bitter acid to them without hesitation. And then ......

"How many demon guns and demon cannons are there beyond the little demon? Run, brethren! ”

It was really impossible to parry Wu Junlian's three-dimensional firepower from far to near, and the Taiping soldiers on Wang Yizhong's side finally couldn't bear to pull their legs and fled back, throwing down corpses and wounded soldiers all over the ground. The surface battlefield of the Henghe River is similar, the Taiping Army Navy Raid Team that lost the advantage of charging paid a heavy price to rush to the vicinity of the ferry, first blocked the road by iron chains, and then bullets and shells and grenades beckoned to their heads, more than a dozen small pulling boats soon ignited a skyrocketing fire, the sailors on the boat were forced to jump into the river to flee for their lives, and the fireboats that lost control were vertical in the east and west, blocking the road of the rear army, so that the Taiping sailors behind could only lie on the boat to avoid guns, and if they raised their heads slightly, they might be hit by the snipers of Wu Jun Lianyong.

By the way, there are also the sailors of the Taiping Army who are at the helm, they are even more unlucky, they have been overturned by the Wu army snipers almost as soon as they reach the firing range, and the small pull-out boat of the dead helmsman lost control, and the dead lay on the deck and did not dare to raise their heads, allowing the ships to be pushed by the current and drifting, crowded into a ball, and there was no threat to the Wu army pontoon.

Seeing this scene, the civil and military officials and soldiers of the Qing army on the Jiangyin city wall Lian Yong were of course cheering, and those who hugged each other excitedly abounded, and Yang Wending, who had been sad for many days, was even more dazzled, lamenting that his future grandson-in-law was finally filial piety - and finally sent him real reinforcements. And Lin Fengxiang, Wu Ruxiao and other Taiping Army generals were pale in the distance on the west bank of the canal, and they all said in their hearts: "How to fight this battle?" How come it is that no matter how we fight, we are pressed and hung by the transcendent demons? Can't even find a chance to fight back? ”

"Heavenly Father bless, quickly collect the troops and return to the camp, don't let us rush to the hedgehog array that surpasses the little demon! rushed beyond the formation of the little demon, and we didn't even have a chance to have dinner. ”

The soldiers of the Taiping Army, who were lining up six miles south of the Hengjiang River, prayed like this. - After all, the soldiers of the Taiping Army are also human beings, and they are also afraid of death.
