"Heavenly Father has descended to earth! The hairy Heavenly Father has descended to earth, run quickly, if you don't run, you will die! ”

The fire was blazing, the smoke was billowing out, and in the smoke of the flames, a god wearing a conspicuous yellow robe soared into the sky, his sleeves fluttering, like a dream, and at his feet, the Wu soldiers in the Dashengguan camp shouted and ran endlessly, and the roar of fear resounded in the sky, "Heavenly Father has descended to earth!" There really is a Heavenly Father! The hairy Father has sent down a fire from heaven to burn us! Skyfire! The Father has sent down a heavenly fire! ”

Seeing the enemies of his people in mid-air so flustered, the Heavenly Father flying in the sky was of course even more proud, waving his long sleeves faster and more beautifully, and soaring more freely, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, and it didn't take long for someone to run to a few Wu soldiers who were flying kites, and shouted: "Okay! Hurry up and put away the kite, or you'll have to show your stuffing! ”

Hearing the order, the soldiers of the Wu army, who were flying the kite vigorously, were greatly disappointed, and had to quickly twist the string to retract the humanoid silk kite, and at the same time, someone asked the herald curiously: "General Wei, does it work?" Will the long-haired side believe it? ”

"How do I know if it works?" The person who gave the order spread his hands helplessly, and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, quickly put away the kite, and then go back to their posts, whether Longhair will be fooled, see if they will send troops." ”

The Holy Heavenly Father gradually disappeared, but the chaos of the Wu army continued, and at the request of the generals at all levels of the Wu army, the Wu soldiers were still shouting loudly about the nonsense that the Heavenly Father had descended from the earth to send down the heavenly fire, and shouted some rumors that this battle could not be fought. At the same time, Feng Sanbao was also looking worriedly in the direction of Nanjing City, and asked Li Hezhang and Ding Baozhen next to him, "Is it useful or not?" If I am recognized by the useless long hair, then my face will be lost, not only will the long hair have to laugh off my big teeth, but Cao Yanzhong and Wang Fu will also have to laugh crookedly. ”

"Logically speaking, it should work." Li Hezhang said with great confidence: "Changmao founded the country with a cult, and he believes in these ghosts and gods from top to bottom, as long as he sees this false Heavenly Father, he should probably believe it." ”

"Don't think it's possible, say something precise." Feng Sanbao scolded angrily: "The ridiculous idea was made by you, and I also used your method, now that the camp is burning, and the false Heavenly Father has also been put into the sky, you have to give me an accurate word if it has any effect." ”

Glancing at each other with sad faces, Li Hezhang and Ding Baozhen, the two dog-headed military advisors, could only stubbornly say: "It should have an effect, if there is no accident, if it is fast, tonight, at most until tomorrow morning, Changmao will definitely send troops." ”

"Well, I'll see if your words are accurate." Feng Sanbao was very good at shirking responsibility and said: "If you don't see Changmao sending troops at dawn tomorrow, both of you will have to accept military law and carry this black pot for me." ”

Li Hezhang and Ding Baozhen agreed together, and prayed in their hearts together: "God bless, God bless, and the long-haired heavenly father, if you really exist, please be sure to bless the long-haired army as soon as possible, otherwise, our black cauldron will be condemned." ”

Without God's perspective, Li Hezhang and Ding Baozhen certainly didn't know that they were purely worried, because at this moment in the city of Nanjing, Hong Xiuquan and many of the Taiping army civil and military had fallen into a state of madness, surrounding the envoy of the Shangxinhe garrison who came back from outside the city to report the news, and asked vigorously whether they had seen the Heavenly Father descend to earth and send down heavenly fire to burn the camp of the Wu army? The envoy sent by the Shangxinhe garrison replied truthfully, saying that many Taiping scouts had seen Heavenly Father flying into the sky with their own eyes, and that the Wu army camp was full of fire, and the Wu soldiers were panicked and chaotic without a fight.

"Heavenly Father bless!"

"Heavenly Father descends to earth, and the kingdom of heaven will be forever! Long live the king, long live, long live! ”

"Heavenly Father! You've finally appeared! Quickly burn the demon soldiers to the ground, the divine power of the Heavenly Father is boundless! ”

started with a cult similar to the dancing god to demagogue, and successfully established a **** regime, the number of civil and military officials brainwashed by the cult in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom court was actually far more than Wu Jun expected, and the fanaticism for the theory of ghosts and gods was actually far above the imagination of Li Hezhang and others, so the bad idea that Li Hezhang and Ding Baozhen came up with to catch the ducks on the shelves also received the better effect they hoped for in advance, and also made Hong Xiuquan's emergency court meeting held overnight fall into a state of complete madness. A large number of worshippers of God worshippers cheered and smiled, some shouted, some raised their arms and shouted, and some kowtowed in the direction of the Temple of God and Christ, chanting words and thanking Heavenly Father, Heavenly Brother, Heavenly Brother.

Don't exaggerate, the cohesive foundation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is the belief in cults and evil gods, and the power base is also built on it, if you give up this belief and question the existence of the Heavenly Father, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom itself will collapse. Therefore, in order to unite people's hearts, maintain power, and consolidate their rule, the civil and military officials of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had to hypnotize themselves and the superstitious cult founded by Hong Xiuquan, who drove others crazy.

Seeing this fanatical scene, Hong Xiuquan, who has a slight mental illness and absolutely believes in the existence of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother, was of course excited, dancing with his hands, and only wished that Heavenly Father, Heavenly Brother, and Heavenly Brother would descend in front of him together, and give himself, the second son of God, real divine power, and constantly babbling nonsense in his mouth, chanting what oracle mantra he got in his dream, and also made an order on the spot, deciding to designate this day as Heavenly Father's Advent, and the believers who want to worship God Sect hold a shrouded ceremony to commemorate it every year today, in exchange for loud cheers from civil and military officials again, long live the mountain.

In such an atmosphere of self-hypnotic demons dancing wildly, including Meng Deen, who was relatively calm in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was inevitably a little hot-headed and went along with him, only Shi Dakai, who had never believed in worshipping God, always remained sober and vigilant, and kept secretly paying attention to Hong Xiuquan with fear, for fear that Hong Xiuquan would make an irreparable wrong decision in a frenzy. But it's a pity that Shi Dakai is most worried that it finally happened, Hong Xiuquan suddenly shouted and asked: "Meng Deen, I told you to gather your soldiers and horses to kill all the demon soldiers, how are you prepared?" ”

Shi Dakai's face suddenly changed color, and Meng Deen, who was immersed in the superstition of the cult, immediately came back to his senses, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Long live the Heavenly King, the army is gathering and preparing, and it will soon be able to go out of the city to fight." ”

"Hurry, hurry, hurry." Hong Xiuquan anxiously urged: "Take advantage of the arrival of the Heavenly Father, hurry up and send troops, hurry up and send troops to me, you go in person, take the army of heaven to kill all the demon soldiers for me, kill them all!" ”

Meng Deen hurriedly agreed, but Shi Dakai next to him was trembling, and quickly stood up and said, "Wait! ”

"What's the matter?!"

Hong Xiuquan shouted and asked, Shi Dakai wanted to play truthfully, but seeing the fanatical and excited expression on Hong Xiuquan's face, as well as the many colleagues in the Golden Dragon Hall who looked like crazy, Shi Dakai quietly swallowed his saliva again, and changed his words and said: "Long live the Heavenly King, Heavenly Father is sending down Heavenly Fire to kill demon soldiers, we are sending troops to attack the demon soldier camp at this time, I am afraid that Heavenly Father will accidentally hurt the people of Heavenly Kingdom with Tianhuo, which is counterproductive." It's better to wait a little longer, and it's not too late to send troops when the Heavenly Father has finished lowering the Heavenly Fire. ”

"It's the same when you go out of town and wait!" Hong Xiuquan roared impatiently: "Meng Deen, go and lead the army into battle, and when the heavenly fire burns down the demon soldier camp, immediately kill the camp and kill all the demon soldiers for me!" ”

Meng Deen hurriedly kowtowed to receive the order, Shi Dakai had no choice but to kneel and ask: "Long live the king of heaven, the soldiers and horses of the ministers are stationed in Yuhuatai, it is convenient to attack, please long live the king of heaven and his subordinates will also lead the army to help King Zan kill the demon soldiers." ”

At the critical moment of deciding whether there was a sane army on the battlefield of Dashengguan, Hong Xiuquan made a wrong choice and shouted: "Not allowed! In the past few days, there have often been reports that your soldiers and horses are extremely disrespectful to the Heavenly Father, and even the most basic worship of God is perfunctory, and I have not yet settled accounts with you, so I will let you lead the army to help the war, but I am afraid that the Heavenly Father will be angry and the heavenly fire will burn your army, so that your army will stay in Yuhuatai honestly, and you will also stay in the city honestly! ”

Not daring to argue with Hong Xiuquan about the supreme divine power of the Heavenly Father at this time, Shi Dakai could only swallow his anger and honestly promise, and then took the opportunity of passing by himself when he was out of the palace, and reminded in a low voice: "King Zan, be careful with your troops, the situation is not right, retreat quickly when you should retreat, and keep the army first." ”

Meng Deen stopped a little and nodded imperceptibly, but in exchange for Hong Xiuquan's loud reprimand, "Meng Deen, what are you doing?" Don't waste time, send troops to me! ”

In this way, under the repeated persecution of Hong Xiuquan, and also in a fanatical religious atmosphere, Meng Deen finally personally led tens of thousands of Taiping troops out of the city overnight, and hurriedly killed towards Dashengguan under the condition of insufficient preparation. Not to mention the result, although they were so hasty that they did not even prepare sufficient dry food, the morale of the Nanjing Taiping army, which was most seriously brainwashed by the God Worship Sect, was very high, and the speed of the overnight march was extremely fast, and it only took more than three hours to approach the Wu army's Dashengguan camp, where the heavenly fire had not been completely extinguished.

The Taiping army was fanatical, and the Wu army, who had painstakingly performed the absurd farce of the Heavenly Father, was of course even more fanatical, and just found out that the Taiping army was coming out of the city to kill, and the soldiers of the Wu army were immediately ready for battle under the leadership of generals at all levels, and at the same time, in order to further lure the enemy army, Feng Sanbao, who had always been careful in calculation, gritted his teeth and ordered to set fire more camp tents and unnecessary camp fortifications, arranged a special team to continue to shout and fake chaos, and let the soldiers and civilians continue to escape from the camp, creating the illusion that the camp has been completely chaotic and about to collapse. Tempt the Taiping army to hurry up and attack the camp of the self-army.

Wu Jun's performance may not be able to deceive a battlefield veteran like Shi Dakai, but it is more than enough to deceive Meng Deen, who has only fought one village-level battle in his life, from the scout's mouth to learn about the situation of the Wu army's camp, and from a distance to see the Wu army's camp in the sky, the crowd is chaotic, Meng Deen not only did not have the slightest suspicion, on the contrary, he really believed in the Heavenly Father's descent completely, and ordered the front army to attack immediately without any consideration, so that the elite army with a majority of veterans from Liangguang could attack the Wu army's camp.

The massacre did not begin immediately, in order to lure the enemy to launch a larger-scale attack, the Wu army deliberately only sporadically opened artillery and fired grenadier shells, deliberately preserving strength to give the enemy a chance to get closer, and the Taiping army front team was really fooled, and strode forward without being too badly hit, shouting and rushing to the vicinity of the Wu army's camp. Only then did the Wu army gradually increase its firepower, attacking the enemy head-on with grenades and muskets.

Amid the dense gunfire of popping beans and the incessant sound of grenade explosions, the officers and men of the Wu army who were hiding behind the trenches and sheep and horse walls relied on the cover of the fortifications and the lighting of the fire in the camp to constantly shoot and accurately hit the enemy on the opposite side. Although the morale of the Taiping army, which was brainwashed by the cult, was strong, there were deep trenches and fences blocking the road in front of them, and they could not rush to the sheep and horse wall on the opposite side of the trench to fight with the Wu army in close combat.

It cannot be said that the impact of the Taiping army has made no progress, at least the Taiping army that directly attacked the gate of the Wu army's camp has achieved a lot of results, relying on human lives to fill miraculously rushed to the front gate of the Wu army's camp without the protection of the trench, and the soldiers of the Wu army across the camp gate cut and shot, chopping and impacting, and the Taiping army in other positions saw that there was an opportunity here, and they couldn't help but move closer to this position in large numbers, and quickly gathered in front of the Wu army camp in large numbers.

"Mine it!"

"Slow! Don't worry! ”

Feng Sanbao's shouting was interrupted by Li Hezhang who was holding a telescope, and then Li Hezhang pointed to the distance and said quickly: "Uncle, look, Changmao has thrown the army forward again, coming directly towards the gate of our camp!" ”

Some people who couldn't believe it hurriedly raised their binoculars to observe, but what made Feng Sanbao overjoyed was that the Taiping army's brigade really divided into another army, and rushed directly to the gate of the camp where the army had buried a large number of mines, and then Feng Sanbao immediately laughed, "Okay, wait!" ”

The second wave of the Taiping army that rushed quickly entered the preset position of the Wu army, and the greedy Feng Sanbao also ordered the ignition, after the order flag was played, the Wu army sappers who were ambushed near the camp gate immediately ignited the fire, and the fuse sizzled into the ground with a loud cry, and then soon, on the Wu army camp gate where the Taiping soldiers were concentrated, there were naturally bursts of violent explosions, and countless Taiping warriors didn't even know what happened, or they were directly blown to pieces by Dana explosives, or they were lifted into the sky by the shock wave, Or was directly shocked to death and overthrown, almost in the blink of an eye, the front of the Wu army camp was full of corpses and wounded of countless Taiping soldiers.

The sudden explosion of the mine was still the signal of the Wu army's all-out counterattack, and the Wu army's artillery team, which had been building up momentum for a long time, and the grenadier shells hit the heads of the remnants of the enemy outside the camp with their heads and faces, and the large and small shells of different calibers were slamming the Taiping army brigade in the distance, and the explosion was deafening, and it continued continuously for a long time. Correspondingly, more Taiping soldiers also fell into pools of blood in a daze, and they didn't understand what happened until they died.

"Fooled! Evacuate! ”

At this point, even if he had only fought one battle in his life, Meng Deen immediately understood that his army had been deceived, and he shouted the order to retreat without even thinking about it. But it was too late to do so, and before the Taiping army could convey the retreat order to the armies, several camp gates of the Wu army camp had been opened together, and several of the most elite battalions under Feng Sanbao shouted and slaughtered, killing the Taiping army brigade position with great momentum.

Then the situation is simple, the panicked Meng Deen with the defeated soldiers has always been a strong escape, the Wu army is chasing behind the fierce pursuit, constantly slashing and shooting the enemy who has fallen behind, the time is just in the last dark period before dawn, the light is unknown, the ranks are chaotic, the Taiping soldiers you push me, trample each other to death countless times, under the pursuit of the Wu army, continue to throw down a large number of wounded corpses, stepping on blood and corpses crying and fleeing for their lives.

At the critical moment, if the strong Taiping army Shangxinhe garrison can send troops to respond in time and contain the Wu army's pursuit from the flank, many people in the Taiping army's defeated army will definitely have a chance to live, but it is a pity that the Taiping army who led the army to garrison Shangxinhe is Qin Rigang, the abolished Yan king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and is also the most trusted henchman of Hong Xiuquan before Meng Deen, who is jealous of Meng Deen, who is currently red and purple. So after finding out the news of Meng Deen's defeat and escape, Qin Rigang didn't even blink his eyelids, and immediately shouted: "Hold the camp tightly, without my order, not a single soldier is allowed to leave the camp!" To prevent the demon soldiers from taking the opportunity to attack Shangxinhe! ”

Qin Rigang's intentions may be hateful, but the choice is never wrong - after receiving the news, the remnants of Shi Dakai stationed in Yuhuatai were led by Huang Yukun to send troops to respond, but what made Huang Yukun vomit blood was that seeing the friendly troops guarding the side of the road and preparing to block the pursuit of the Wu army, Meng Deen, who was seriously inexperienced on the battlefield, actually rushed directly towards his position with a defeated brigade, and in a blink of an eye, the dense formation of Shi Dakai's remnants rushed to a scattered, also stubbornly swept the remnants of Shi Dakai, who were already in poor condition, into the defeated crowd.

"I knew that King Zan had this ability to fight, and Lao Tzu shouldn't have sent troops to respond!"

When Huang Yukun was so angry that he scolded, something even more unexpected happened, in the fierce battle, a stray bullet that he didn't know where it came from suddenly happened to hit Meng Deen's back on the horse, although it did not directly hit Meng Deen's heart, but it also went deep into the lungs, seriously injuring Meng Deen, the only way in the entire Nanjing city to temporarily pacify Hong Xiuquan Hong Grand Sect Master......
