Among the five kings in the southeast, northwest and northwest wings in the early days of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Wu Chaoyue was the most unhappy with this northern king Wei Changhui, and always thought that if he hadn't been willing to be a lackey for Hong Xiuquan, the perverted old god stick, and killed Yang Xiuqing, the real military leader of the Taiping Army, even if the Taiping Army could not succeed in the end, at least it could eliminate more harm for the people and kill more parasites that brought disaster to the country and the people, so he was so resentful of Wei Changhui.

However, this will finally meet Wei Changhui, Wu Chaoyue not only has no way to eliminate the harm for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in advance, and avenge the anti-Qing righteous people who were killed in the Tianjing Incident in advance, on the contrary, he is also in crisis, and if he is not careful, he is likely to be killed by Wei Changhui in turn, regret and helplessness.

No matter how regretful and helpless it is, it is useless, there is Wei Changhui guarding the Guanyin Gate in front to block the way, and Ji Wenyuan leading the army to chase after him, Wu Chaoyue has only two choices left, one is to break through the siege, and the other is to break through head-on and kill a bloody road!

The diversion and breakthrough is obviously more dangerous, without God's perspective, no one dares to guarantee that the other gates of Jiangning Waiguo are not guarded by the Taiping army, and although it is not difficult to climb over the city wall of Jiangning Waiguo, which is dominated by soil and hills, it is not difficult to climb on foot, but the formation will definitely be disrupted, which will give the Taiping army a God-given opportunity to attack, and at the same time, the safety of Lu Jianying and his party and Hui Zheng's father and daughter cannot be guaranteed. Forced to be helpless, Wu Chaoyue had no choice but to grit his teeth and stomp his feet, and ordered the army to re-form a hollow phalanx to protect Lu Jianying and others to continue to advance!

When they were about 100 meters away from the Taiping army's position, the Taiping soldiers who had seized the hilly heights of the city wall in advance had already shot first, and at the same time, the Taiping soldiers hiding behind the vehicles blocking the road also pulled the trigger one after another, and the gunshots rang out chaotically. Several Wu Jun Lian Yong were also shot one after another, but fortunately, the distance was too far. The power of the Taiping army's arquebuses had been greatly reduced, and Wu Jun Lian Yong did not suffer huge losses.

Meanwhile. In order to save ammunition, Wu Chaoyue asked the firing gunners not to shoot without an order, and ordered the snipers to accurately shoot at the enemy on the hills and city walls with Mini guns, and the result was really good, and the high-precision Minnie guns killed and wounded many Taiping soldiers one after another, and beat the Taiping soldiers who seized the high ground so that they did not dare to raise their heads, either hiding behind the trees and rocks, or simply lying on the city wall and unable to shoot -- the front-loading gun could not climb and load.

Suppressing the enemy on the high ground, Wu Chaoyue tried to use the Minny gun to accurately snipe the Taiping shooters hiding behind the earth-rock trucks. However, to Wu Chaoyue's great disappointment, most of the Taiping soldiers' bodies were hidden behind the car, and the mini gun was difficult to aim, and the penetration of the lead mini bullet was too poor, not to mention penetrating the vehicle full of earth and rock, even if it hit the wooden part of the vehicle, it was difficult to penetrate and hurt the enemy, so the sniper effect was extremely poor, and it was impossible to suppress the enemy at all.

At this time, Ji Wenyuan also chased the Taiping army to a close place. Drawing on the lesson just now, Ji Wenyuan, who had suffered a big loss, did not dare to rush directly to seek death in a stupid manner, and ordered the army to stop nearly 200 meters away, and commanded the army to make an orderly detour to the left and right. It quickly surrounded Wu Junlian's hedgehog array in an arc, and would rather temporarily stalemate with Wu Chaoyue than rush to charge.

Of course, such a stalemate is extremely unfavorable to Wu Jun's training and bravery, and the Taiping Army's manpower and material resources are endless. Wu Jun's training and bravery's bullets were one less than one, and the longer the delay was, the more unfavorable it would be for Wu Chaoyue. We understand this. Wu Chaoyue had no choice but to bite the bullet and order Lian Yong to move forward slowly, in a vain attempt to close the distance and give full play to the advantage of fierce firepower.

Nothing works. Wei Changhui's cunning is far beyond Wu Chao's imagination, he doesn't show up, and he also ordered all the soldiers who were not covered by the earth-cart to kneel down on one knee, and beware of Wu's cold gun, at the same time, the Taiping army behind the earth-cart also continued to shoot, taking turns to load and recharge to increase the rate of fire, and as the distance slowly narrowed, the Taiping army's arquebus gradually exerted its own power, killing and wounding several Wu soldiers Lianyong one after another.

Cold sweat appeared on Wu Chaoyue's forehead, and he wanted to charge desperately, but he suffered from too few troops in his hands, and the Taiping army's melee combat was quite good. In desperation, Wu Chaoyue had no choice but to pay attention to the impact of gunpowder trucks on the enemy's defense line, but there was not much gunpowder left, and the Taiping army rushed to block the road with vehicles full of earth and stones, and the gunpowder trucks rushed up to blow up a small part of the Taiping army's earth-wheel defense line at most, and there was little hope of success.

When he was in a dilemma, Lu Jianying got out of the carriage again to make trouble for Wu Chaoyue, and urged with a crying voice: "Master Wu, rush!" Why don't you call your Lian Yongchong? If we don't rush through the Guanyin Gate, we won't survive! Rush quickly, rush over, this official must be rewarded, must be rewarded! ”

was very irritable in his heart, and when he heard Lu Jianying's words again, Wu Chaoyue was of course even more angry, but when he looked at Lu Jianying's thin old face angrily, Wu Chaoyue suddenly had an idea, and a bad idea of capturing the thief and capturing the king first suddenly came to mind. Then Wu Chaoyue did not hesitate any longer, while asking Lian Yong to tie the gunpowder used in the hundred-pound mini gun to a war horse, blindfold the war horse as before, and at the same time attached to Lu Jianying's ear and muttered quickly............

Then, regardless of whether Lu Jianying agreed to his adventurous idea or not, Wu Chaoyue immediately asked people to bring a white flag - Wu Xiaocomprador fought the same as the army of the Noodle Country, he would rather not bring a military flag, but also take the white flag with him at any time just in case! Then, under Wu Chaoyue's order, a loud Wu Jun Lian Yong raised a white flag and shook it, shouting loudly: "Stop fighting!" Stop it! Brothers of the kingdom of heaven, stop fighting, we surrender! We surrendered! ”

"Surrender? Beyond the little demon to surrender? ”

The soldiers of the Taiping Army were in an uproar, and Wei Changhui, who was hidden in the crowd of soldiers, was also happy, and subconsciously rejoiced, but remembering the lesson of Ji Wenyuan yesterday, Wei Changhui did not dare to take it lightly, but quickly sent an order for the soldiers of the Taiping Army to continue to remain vigilant, and no rash actions were allowed. And that Wu Jun Lian Yong continued to shout according to Wu Chaoyue's request, "Brothers of the Heavenly Kingdom, we really want to surrender, Lord Lu Jianying, the governor of Liangjiang, is here, and his old man said, if you promise to let us surrender and promise to spare us from dying, he will take us to surrender to you!" And give you all the sharpshooters we bought from foreigners! ”

In the roar, it didn't matter whether Lu Jianying agreed or not. The two pro-soldiers had already forcibly put Lu Jianying in front of the formation, shouting loudly to indicate Lu Jianying's identity. Wu Chaoyue quietly climbed into the carriage where Lu Jianying and Hui Zheng were riding. Hide in the curtains and trunks, and only leave the muzzle of the gun exposed. With a slight height advantage, he nervously searched for Wei Changhui's location. Over there, Wu Dada, who had the best marksmanship in the Wu army's Yong practice, also ran to the carriage where Fu Shanxiang and Wanzhen were sitting, and like Wu Chaoyue, he only exposed the muzzle of the gun outside the curtain, waiting for the opportunity to snipe the enemy's main general.

There was no choice, Lu Jianying could only follow Wu Chaoyue's instructions, and shouted with a crying voice: "His Royal Highness the Northern King, His Royal Highness the Northern King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the old man is Lu Jianying, and the old man is Lu Jianying, the governor of Liangjiang!" The old man assured. As long as you promise to accept our surrender and promise not to kill us after we surrender, the old man will surrender to you with his subordinates and hand over all our weapons to you! ”

Not to mention, Wei Changhui was really a little tempted -- the forced landing of a Manchu Qing official at the level of a governor was a miraculous feat that the officers and men of the Taiping Army had achieved so far, and after he succeeded, it would naturally greatly increase the weight of Wei Changhui's speech within the Taiping Army, coupled with the huge temptation of advanced weapons, Wei Changhui, who had already won the battle, was naturally even more tempted. So after a little calculation. Wei Changhui really made the soldiers in front shout: "Okay, our Northern King 6,000 years old has agreed, as long as you lay down your arms, we will let you surrender!" We, the 6,000-year-old king of the North, still guarantee that you will not die! ”

"Please swear first, the king of the North is 6,000 years old. In the name of the Heavenly Father, I swear that as long as the old man leads the people to surrender, he will also surrender his weapons to you. You promise not to kill us! Otherwise, the old man would not dare to take this risk! ”

According to Wu Chaoyue's prior instructions. Lu Jianying shouted again with a crying voice: "The king of the North is six thousand years old, and the old man knows that you are true to your word." So as long as you swear in public in the honor of the Heavenly Father, the old man will immediately let the soldiers under his command surrender with their guns! ”

The ball was kicked back in front of Wei Changhui, and Wei Changhui, who had been hiding in the crowd of soldiers, didn't think much about it, stood up on impulse, and said loudly: "Okay! This king swears in the name of his heavenly father, as long as you Lu Jianying ............. ”

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two gunshots rang out, Wu Chaoyue and Wu Dadao pulled the trigger almost at the same time, and the result was that Wu Chaoyue and Wu Dadao were overjoyed that their already quite good marksmanship played normally at the same time at this moment, Wei Changhui's chest and neck spurted out two bloody arrows at the same time, and the person fell directly on his back, and the crowd of Taiping soldiers immediately let out a crazy roar, "Six thousand years old!" Beyond the little demon, shameless dog thief! ”

The trick succeeded, Wu Chaoyue almost collapsed directly in the carriage, after a little relaxation, Wu Chaoyue immediately jumped out of the carriage to prepare for the battle, the result was not as Wu Chaoyue expected, the grief and indignation of the Taiping Army soldiers after the loss of the commander, really launched a charge to the phalanx of Wu Jun Lianyong, and rushed up with red eyes to fight with Wu Chaoyue. And Wu Chaoyue was least afraid of this, and did not hesitate to order to shoot, and when the firing pin gun and Minny gun were fired one after another, the Taiping soldiers who were killed on the opposite side fell to the ground one after another, and suffered heavy casualties in front of the high speed of the firing pin gun.

At the same time, seeing that the friendly troops in front of him were in chaos, Ji Wenyuan, who was shocked, could only order a charge, but the result was still the same as before, the Taiping soldiers who shouted and charged had only just entered the firing range, and they were immediately beaten by Wu Junlianyong's firing pin gun, and the casualties continued, and there were very few soldiers who could rush into a distance of thirty meters.

Don't dare to calculate what ammunition consumption, Wu Chaoyue just ordered the soldiers to shoot one after another, gritting his teeth to block the already crazy Taiping Army Wei Changhui Department, and a man desperate, ten thousand people are unstoppable, regardless of the casualties of the charge, Wei Changhui's subordinates really rushed to Wu Jun Lian Yong's vicinity, crazy knife stabbing and stabbing, Wu Jun Lian Yong was forced to raise a bayonet to defend himself and fight back, even smashed and stabbed and the Taiping Army desperately, Wu Chaoyue also held a revolver in both hands to find an opportunity to shoot, while constantly shouting loudly, "Resist!" Resist! Resist this time, and we'll be safe! ”

The crazy Taiping soldiers naturally caused huge losses to Wu Jun Lian Yong, many Taiping soldiers in grief and indignation, and even resorted to the tragic trick of holding Wu Jun Lian Yong to the end, Wu Jun Lian Yong continued to retreat, was pressed back again and again, the hollow phalanx gradually became a solid circle formation, Wu Chaoyue and his own soldiers were all put into battle, holding revolvers and constantly shooting at the enemy in front of them, the battlefield gun shouts and the sound of swords and guns colliding into one piece, the sound of the sky.

Finally, after paying a very heavy price, Wu Jun Lian Yong finally survived this wave of crazy impact of the Taiping Army. It took a lot of effort to force the Taiping soldiers to retreat. And after finally winning a little space, Wu Chaoyue didn't dare to hesitate. Immediately, the war horse carrying the gunpowder bag was released, and the war horse bomb was used to impact the front defense line of Guanyin Gate. Then, with an earth-shattering loud noise, many Taiping soldiers and the war horse turned into powder, and Wu Chaoyue immediately shouted, "Brothers, rush! Kill out of the Guanyin Gate and take my life! ”

"Kill!"

Amidst the shouts, Wu Junlian, who had launched a charge on the battlefield of Jiangning for the first time, strode forward, charging while shooting. Struggled to attack the already chaotic Guanyin Gate defense line, and Wei Changhui's subordinates were not only disturbed by horse meat bombs at the moment, but also the dragons lost their command without a leader, some people turned around to resist, some people fled up the mountain to escape, and some people escaped directly from Guanyin Gate, which could not form a strong resistance at all. Ji Wenyuan, who was in the back, was so anxious that he stomped his feet, desperately urging the soldiers to come forward and pursue, but he couldn't kill the rear team of Wu Jun's training bravery. The Taiping soldiers on the mountain and on the city wall also shot frantically to block the attack, but they suffered because the rate of fire was too slow, and they could not stop Wu Jun Lian Yong's escape footsteps, so they could only watch Wu Jun Lian Yong rush into the Yongdao of Guanyin Gate. Then he crossed the Guanyin Gate and rushed out of Jiangning Waiguo.

It was still until Wu Jun practiced Yong and crossed the Guanyin Gate and rushed out of the outer Guo, and the Wu Jun Lian Yong army broke out into a long-suppressed thunderous cheer. Cheers are heard. Lu Jianying, who had already fled back to the carriage and was trembling, had the courage to poke his head out of the carriage, and when he saw that his carriage had already crossed the Guanyin Gate. Lu Jianying also shouted excitedly: "Rush out!" Finally rushed out! The old man thought that he was going to die this time, but he didn't expect to really rush out! ”

"Land Table. Don't get too happy. Wu Chaoyue, who was walking forward next to him, turned around and reminded, "Long Mao is still chasing, and my bullets are almost finished, whether I can successfully kill a way out, I don't dare to save ......." ”

Having said this, Wu Chaoyue couldn't go on, because right in front of Wu Chaoyue's eyes, a bloody arrow suddenly rushed out on the back of Lu Jianying's head, and a bullet that I didn't know where it came from happened to hit Lu Jianying's head impartially, and the bullet pierced through the bone and brain, and Lu Jianying's life was killed on the spot!

"It's fate, you're destined to die in Jiangning!"

While sighing, Wu Chaoyue also quietly wiped a cold sweat - the stray bullet just now was a little more off, but it was about to hit Wu Chaoyue. Hui Zheng, who was in the same carriage with Lu Jianying, was already so frightened that he cried loudly, and Wu Chaoyue didn't have time to comfort him, so after a little calculation, he personally pushed Lu Jianying's body back into the carriage and instructed Hui Zheng: "Take Lu Zhitai's body and try to preserve it, if you can really bring it back smoothly, it will also be a credit." ”

The marathon of several thousand people began, and there were only about 200 people left, Wu Jun Lian Yong ran to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the results of Wu Junlianyong's long-term weight-bearing training were also fully displayed at this moment. And what made Wu Chaoyue quite strange was that Lu Jianying didn't know what the dozen or twenty war horses he was carrying, and the speed of the galloping was not slow at all, and it didn't seem to look like it was loaded with heavy objects, and it was also the same thing that left the Taiping Army behind and ate ashes, but Wu Chaoyue inevitably had some worries after reading it, "Don't it really be a book, right?" Isn't that a big loss? ”

Seeing that Wu Jun Lianyong was fleeing farther and farther, and the distance was getting bigger and bigger, Ji Wenyuan, who led the army to pursue, was so angry that he had no choice but to order to stop the pursuit, and set aside the only small number of cavalry as scouts, follow and monitor the escape of Wu Jun Lianyong, keep in touch with the main force at any time, and at the same time send someone to report to Yang Xiuqing and ask for instructions on the next move.

…………

Now it's time to take a look at the situation on Jiang Ning's side, because Wu Chaoyue's churning of the demon moth's wings is slightly different from history, after the Taiping army blew up the city wall of Yifengmen, it did not rush into the city as in history, but strictly implemented Yang Xiuqing's cautious order, first concentrated heavy troops to guard the road into the city, and only entered the city after the follow-up army arrived. However, not only did this not delay for half a time, on the contrary, it took the outer city of Jiangning faster than in history, and basically occupied the major key points and blocks of the outer city of Jiangning in the afternoon, so when Ji Wenyuan's report was sent to Xiaguan Water Village, Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing were already preparing to enter the city to enjoy the delicious food and wine and the harem of three thousand.

"Brother Beiwang! Brother Beiwang! ”

Joy was very sad, after hearing the news of Wei Changhui's unfortunate death, Hong Xiuquan, who handed over the safety of his family to Wei Changhui, almost didn't cry on the spot, Yang Xiuqing also cried loudly, "Brother Beiwang, I have repeatedly told you to beware of the cold gun that surpasses the little demon, and tell you to beware of his cold gun, why don't you listen?" You just don't listen?! ”

While crying loudly, Yang Xiuqing was of course laughing loudly in her heart, "Beyond the little demon, what a little demon, thank you, thank you for helping me kill Wei Changhui, now there is no one in the heavenly army who can compete with me except Shi Dakai!" Good little demon, good brother, you have done me a great favor this time! ”

"King Dong, send troops to chase! Pursue! Revenge, you must avenge my brothers in the North King! Capture the transcendent demon back, I will cut him with a thousand knives with my own hands, and execute him Ling Chi with my own hands! ”

"Obey."

With tears on his face to take over Hong Xiuquan's will, Yang Xiuqing immediately issued a loud order, ordering the general Chen Chengrong to lead 5,000 sailors down the river, and ordered the general Xiao Youfu to lead an army of 5,000 to chase and kill by land. Then, Yang Xiuqing ordered loudly: "Order the entire army in the city to immediately surround the city, and not a single banner man is allowed to escape!" After the city is broken, the chickens and dogs are not left! ”

This is also Wu Chaoyue's favorite point of Yang Xiuqing.

…………

It was determined that Wu Chaoyue would take Wu Jun Lianyong to flee to Zhenjiang on the Dongyang Town Road, and he would definitely get on the boat and flee downstream for his life whenever he had the opportunity, so Yang Xiuqing sent a sailor to participate in the pursuit. But Yang Xiuqing soon found that he underestimated Wu Chaoyue's cunning, and as soon as he got rid of the pursuit of the Taiping army, Wu Chaoyue immediately took Wu Junlian Yong to turn to the southeast, and fled directly to Jurong County, which was far away from the Yangtze River.

The geography up and down is so bad, Xiao Youfu, who is not a famous general, naturally doesn't know that after finding out the whereabouts of Wu's army, he should immediately send troops to seize Baitu Town, which is directly east of Jurong County, and completely block Wu Chaoyue's eastward escape road, just stupidly follow Wu Chaoyue's ass to Jurong. Therefore, after Xiao Youfu chased Jurong with his pursuers, not only did he need to face the threat of the Qing army's Jurong defenders, but Wu Chaoyue, who had not even entered the city, had already fled to White Rabbit Town with Lian Yong after taking a short rest. And when Xiao Youfu chased the pursuers to Baitu Town, Wu Jun Lian Yong had already crossed the town, crossed the Maoshan Mountains, and rushed directly to the Danyang County next to the canal.

The keen sixth sense told Yang Xiuqing that if he didn't seize this opportunity to kill Wu Chaoyue, surpassing the little demon would become a big disaster in the future for the heavenly kingdom! Therefore, Yang Xiuqing still refused to give up, and immediately asked someone to bring a map of Jiangsu to study and analyze Wu Chaoyue's possible escape path. However, it's okay not to look at it, carefully look at the map of Jiangsu left by Lu Jianying, Yang Xiuqing was also completely desperate - after Wu Chaoyue got on the boat in Danyang, he didn't need to take the Yangtze River waterway at all, he only needed to go south along the canal to reach Suzhou, and then he didn't even need to get off the boat, he could directly transfer to the Wusong River waterway, and escape back to his hometown Shanghai smoothly!

"Beyond the little demon, it's really treacherous! This escape path must have been carefully studied by him a long time ago! ”

Angrily slammed the map, Yang Xiuqing could only vent his anger on the seemingly pitiful Mancheng banner people, urging the Taiping soldiers to storm the city with all their might, and at the same time, on the city of Mancheng, even the women and children of the banner people had already gone up to the city wall to fight the trapped beasts, dying and struggling............

I have to explain by the way, when I was resting outside Jurong County for the night, I couldn't help but be curious, Wu Chaoyue quietly opened a package brought by Lu Jianying - Lu Jianying is dead, and his entourage also escaped in the process of breaking through, and ran cleanly, and these packages naturally changed their surname to Wu. However, to Wu Chaoyue's surprise, the package was actually filled with books! But Wu Chaoyue still refused to give up, and flipped through the book again, and the truth was revealed, and the yellow and clear leaves were indeed sandwiched in the book. Then, a smug smile suddenly climbed up Wu Chaoyue's thin cheeks.

"It's been fished back, and this time it's finally all back with interest." (To be continued.) )
