Historically, when the Hunan army and the Taiping army fought a decisive battle in Nanjing, Li Xiucheng and Hong Xiuquan had a strategic disagreement, and they had three months to build a deep ditch and high fortress, build an almost impregnable fortified camp, and win an important decisive battle opportunity. The camp built on Yuhuatai was not only far less solid than the Hunan army's camp, but also deliberately left some seemingly flawed traps in the layout of the camp fortifications, deliberately luring the Taiping army to attack these positions.

This also doomed the battle of Yuhuatai between the Wu army and the Taiping army to be more cruel and fierce, more bloody and tragic.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of an important breakthrough and a great boost in morale, Li Xiucheng saw the weakness of the Wu army's camp in Gaozuo Temple, and deliberately launched a fierce attack on the other three Wu army camps in the southwest and two directions of Yuhuatai, in a vain attempt to induce and force Feng Sanbao to throw the reserves into the peripheral battlefield, and then take the opportunity to kill Yuhuatai from the weak defense of the Wu army south of Mumoting, and directly attack the Chinese army headquarters of the Wu army.

Li Xiucheng's army did have major shortcomings in hand-to-hand combat, but it had an absolute numerical superiority in terms of strength and firepower, and the pressure on the three Wu army camps that had been taken care of by the key care also increased sharply, and they were shrouded in the smoke of fire and gunpowder almost all the time, and the large and small artillery of the Taiping army continued to bombard these three camps day and night, and constantly sent troops to harass them by taking advantage of their strength, consuming the physical strength, spirit and ammunition of Wu's soldiers, patiently looking for fighters, and decisively launching an attack when an opportunity arises, the feint attack was no different from the frontal assault, and successfully induced Feng Sanbao and other Wu generals to misjudge the direction of the Taiping army's main attack, believing that the Taiping army was planning to take the southwest position of Yuhuatai, offset the condescending advantage of the Wu army's camp, and then launch a full-scale attack.

Fortunately, hand-to-hand combat is still the life-saving straw of the Wu Army's Feng Sanbao Corps, whenever it can't withstand the suppression of the Taiping Army's firepower, the Southwest Wu Army, which is good at close combat, always sends a death squad out of the camp to counter-charge like a trick, rushing to the close side and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Taiping Army fighting hand-to-hand combat, as a result, because the soldiers of the Southwest Wu Army are not afraid of death, the Wu Army's hand has also repeatedly received miraculous results, and has repeatedly created miracles in hand-to-hand combat, and has repeatedly repelled the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Taiping Army from the rich hometown of Jiangnan with less victories and more victories, and has survived many difficulties.

In addition, learning the lesson of the loss of the Changgang camp, the officers and men of the Wu army specially arranged picric acid weapons to meet the death squad that came out of the camp to assault, and suppressed the pursuit of the Taiping army with picric acid grenades and grenadier shells when the death squad was unfavorable, covering the friendly army's withdrawal to the camp, and also took the opportunity to eliminate the Taiping army veterans in Li Xiucheng's army, which was already small in number.

The road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high! Just when the Wu army gradually stabilized its position by relying on the advantage of hand-to-hand combat and the cover of bitter acid weapons, Li Xiucheng's new tricks came out again, and under the cover of superior firepower, a large number of Taiping soldiers each carried a wooden box and a half square to take turns to step forward, and built a wooden box wall opposite the Wu army's guard camp trench. Wu soldiers shot at the box wall, but found that the box was full of dirt, and the bullets could not penetrate at all, and they ventured out and were repelled by the Taiping army's platoon guns, with heavy casualties and little effect, even if they reluctantly repelled the Taiping army's attack, and replaced another Taiping army team to step forward, they still continued to build the box wall, and did not dare to confront the Taiping army under the consumption of troops, and the Wu army soldiers could only watch the Taiping army build a chest-high box wall similar to a sheep and horse wall opposite the camp trench of the self-army. The attacking Taiping army relied on this sheep and horse wall to hold out on to the front line for a long time, and the pressure on the three battalions in the southwest of the Wu army was also doubled again.

At this point in the battle, if the Wu army wanted to keep the southwest position of Yuhuatai, the Wu army had no choice but to increase troops to the southwest position, and as a result, Feng Sanbao had just increased the number of troops to each of the three camps, and Li Xiucheng immediately understood that the Wu army had been deceived, and he also decisively dispatched troops and began to carry out the all-out attack he was brewing.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the Taiping army suddenly increased its firepower again, covering the three battalions of the Wu army in the southwest of Yuhuatai with heavy artillery fire, and also used a large number of black powder flowering shells, causing great casualties to the Wu soldiers who lacked protection in the sky overhead. The officers and men of the Wu army, who were inferior in firepower, suffered heavy casualties and had to ask Feng Sanbao for help.

Misjudging the tactical purpose of the Taiping Army, believing that the Taiping Army would make efforts to take the southwest position at night, Feng Sanbao not only ordered the officers and men of the Wu Army of the Third Battalion in the Southwest to use picric acid weapons to resist the enemy, but also arranged for the elite reserve to wait in the camp as early as possible, and only waited for the dark to increase the troops of the Third Southwest Battalion again, and kept the southwest position at any cost, so as not to give the Taiping Army the opportunity to break the camp at night and cause greater casualties to the self-army that did not have the advantage of troops. - If the camp is breached by the Taiping army at night, the Wu soldiers guarding the camp will not only be difficult to transfer, but also the danger of being expelled by the Taiping army and the defeated soldiers will be the vanguard and enter other Wu army camps.

All the plots are being staged in accordance with the script of director Li Xiucheng and Li Da, just after seeing the Wu army using a large number of picric acid weapons, Li Xiucheng understood that the Wu army had been fooled, and he also decisively made arrangements for launching a real attack, and after it was dark, Li Xiucheng once again sent additional troops to the southwest position of Yuhuatai, and took the feint attack as the main attack, and at the same time went to the northeast corner of Yuhuatai to personally command the surprise attack on the camp of the Wu army.

After 11 o'clock in the evening, the southwest battlefield sent accurate news, reporting that the Wu army had once again increased the number of troops in the southwest three battalions, Li Xiucheng was overjoyed when he heard the report, but did not rush to attack, but waited patiently until half past twelve in the middle of the night, Li Xiucheng gave an order, let more than 500 Guangxi veterans drawn from the Taiping army generals above the level of two Sima and above come forward, and under the cover of the night, they silently touched the Yuhuatai, quietly climbed to the stage, and successfully climbed the Yuhuatai from the area of the current Yuhuatai people's air-raid shelter.

As Li Xiucheng expected, the dense gunfire and dark night in the southwest position successfully covered the movements of the Taiping army, or after the Taiping army followed the commandos on the Yuhuatai in large numbers, the soldiers of the Wu army on patrol found that the enemy was attacking and issued an alarm, and the Taiping army commandos, who had been prepared, did not hesitate to immediately charge the camp of the Wu army, and suddenly used bitter acid grenades and firing needle guns in the battle, and at the same time several grenadier shells bombarded the Wu army camp, and once again killed the Wu army soldiers who were rushing to meet the enemy by surprise. At an incredible speed, he killed next to the camp gate of the Wu army's camp and began to carry out gunpowder blasting, in a vain attempt to blow open the door of the Wu army camp with a powder keg and directly enter the Wu army camp!

"Lose that mother!"

"Boom!"

Relying on the sacrifice of a Guangxi veteran who was shot, the powder keg of the Taiping Army was successfully detonated at the gate of the Wu military camp, and while the Guangxi veteran was smashed, it also successfully blew up the gate of the Wu army's Chinese army camp. ”

It's a pity that Director Li Da's script suddenly changed direction at this point, and I don't know if it was the god killer who gave an order, hundreds of grenadiers suddenly fired together, smashing the same number of grenadier shells on the heads of the Taiping veterans, and at the same time, the gunfire in the Wu army camp was loud, and the Wu soldiers with strange rifles laughed wildly and shot again and again, shooting the bullets that could be fired in bursts at the Taiping soldiers who stormed the camp gate. And these veterans of the Taiping Army who shouted to throw their mothers to charge, no matter how elite they were, their flesh and blood could not stop the metal bullets from Henry's continuous bullet and the picric acid shells blasted by the grenadiers.

The Guangxi veterans of the Taiping Army are indeed very capable of fighting, and the will to fight is even more unbeatable in the world, but this tenacious will has suffered the commandos of the Taiping Army in this night, in order to seize this opportunity to break the enemy that has been created with great difficulty, in the case that the enemy is obviously fully prepared, the Taiping Army commando composed of all Guangxi veterans still refuses to give up, and still charges towards the door of the Wu military camp, but unfortunately, the rate of fire of Henry's serial gun far exceeds the imagination of the Taiping veterans, At the same time, there was also the sound of Dana explosives mines buried in front of the Wu army under their feet, so the Taiping army commando not only did not rush into the Wu army camp this time, but also paid the price of almost the entire army.

At the same time, the Wu Army Battery, which had been building up for a long time, also suddenly opened fire, and the solid shells and flowering shells were cross-fired at the Taiping Army Brigade in the rear, harvesting the lives of the Taiping Army soldiers in patches and rows, and the Taiping Army soldiers who followed the commando team also suffered heavy casualties, the team was in chaos, and the panicked shouts continued one after another, "There is an ambush!" Fallen into an ambush by the demon soldiers! ”

In fact, it is not an ambush, but a trap carefully designed by the Wu army when arranging the defensive position, the hidden danger that the position of the Gaozao Temple is not enough to be in the center Feng Sanbao and others have long been aware of it, but the manna well and Yuhua Spring next to the Gaozao Temple are important water sources that the Wu army must not give up, and Feng Sanbao can only choose the camp of the Chinese army in the Gaoza Temple. However, after making this choice, if a camp is built next to the camp of the Chinese army, it will cause the problem of too dense troops, so Feng Sanbao has no other good choice, so he can only build many batteries, cover the road east of the Gaoza Temple without the protection of the barracks, and lay a large number of mines at the key places to prevent accidents, and at the same time, after being forced to increase the southwest position, Feng Sanbao arranged for the pro-military battalion of Wu Chaoyue, the ace of the Wu army, to take turns on guard, beware of the Taiping army suddenly attacking his Chinese camp from the east. The result is the situation we have tonight.

Without God's perspective, of course Li Xiucheng didn't know that Wu Jun didn't actually see through his plan to attack the west, but the more this happened, the more incomprehensible Li Xiucheng became, and shouted when he received the report of the fiasco: "How is it possible? The demon soldiers have obviously been fooled into increasing troops to the southwest position of Yuhuatai, how can there be an ambush? ”

"Zhongwang Chitose, we may be underestimating this Feng Sanbao." The thinker Li Shuxiang also came to the wrong conclusion and said: "Maybe this demon general has already seen through our plan to attack the west, pretending to be fooled, and deliberately leading us into his trap, we accidentally fell for him for a while, so we ...... and suffered heavy losses." ”

"Isn't it just a huge loss?!" Li Xiucheng wailed painfully: "There are almost four hundred old brothers in Guangxi, and there are dozens of them in the army marshals and division marshals, and they are all lost all at once, which is simply a break for the king's loyal palace army!" ”

The bad idea of transferring middle-level generals to form an officer death squad was Li Shuxiang, of course Li Shuxiang didn't dare to take this stubble, so he could only quickly change the topic and asked: "Zhongwang Chitose, do you want to continue to fight in Changgang?" Do you want to withdraw the army and redeploy the attack? ”

Li Xiucheng was fooled and did not continue to pursue the heavy losses of the veterans, and looked at the southwest position of Yuhuatai, which was still in full swing, Li Xiucheng thought for a moment, suddenly stomped his feet, and said fiercely: "Continue to fight!" There is no way to directly take down the Chinese camp of the demon soldiers, so continue to fight their peripheral camps! At any cost, take down the southwest of Yuhuatai first, offset the condescending geographical advantage of the demon soldiers, and then find a way to eliminate the remaining demon soldiers! ”

Because of Li Xiucheng's decision, the southwest battlefield of Yuhuatai is destined to be more bloody and bloody, in the next two days and two nights, the Taiping army has invested more than 150,000 troops, day and night to storm the Wu army in the southwest of the three camps, and relying on the absolute advantage of troops and firepower, many times successfully entered the Wu army camp, the Wu army was also forced to use picric acid weapons many times to save the emergency, the soldiers were so tired that they could squat behind the sheep and horse wall can fall asleep directly, the two sides focused on the battle for several battlefields, The corpses of the soldiers on both sides directly filled the trenches of the Wu army, and the corpses piled up like mountains, and the blood flowed into puddles, and the thick blood plasma in some places could directly flood the soldiers' knees.

In view of the fierce offensive of the Taiping army, the Wu army also had to take the initiative to abandon a camp east of Changgang, shrink the strength of the front and continue to fight, but the Taiping army could only do this step, under the heroic resistance of the Wu army soldiers, Li Xiucheng no matter how many turns to send the army forward, no matter how concentrated superior artillery bombardment of the Wu army's camp, the Taiping army could not sit one step forward, and the vast majority of the Yuhuatai position was still firmly in the hands of the Wu army. At the same time, the Taiping Army's vain attempt to establish a battery on the captured Yuhuatai position and directly bombard the camp of the Wu army's central army was also quickly bankrupt under the fierce bombardment of the Wu army's breech artillery, and the long-range artillery could not be moved onto the Yuhuatai position with heavy casualties.

On the fourth day, Li Xiucheng, who was red-eyed, was dying and struggling, and listened to Li Shuxiang's bad idea, forcing Ye Yunlai, Wu Ruxiao and Zeng Lichang, who were greatly injured in the civil war of the Taiping Army, to draw veterans to form a commando team, cooperate with their Jiangsu and Zhejiang troops, and once again rush to Yuhuatai from the east and attack the Chinese army camp of the Wu army head-on. However, it is a pity that Li Xiucheng's only gain from this move is to find that there is a devil-like army in the camp of the Wu Army, not only is the marksmanship extremely accurate, but the long-range shooting and killing is like a roll call, and the rifle in his hand can be fired continuously, as if the bullets can never be finished! However, what Li Xiucheng paid was almost all the veterans of a hundred battles in the Ye, Wu, and Zeng armies, as well as a large number of soldiers of the Taiping Army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and ......

The failure of the frontal assault on the camp of the Wu army also made Li Xiucheng make the right choice to stop the attack, and after giving this order with a pale face, Li Xiucheng also muttered with a more pale face: "You can't fight like this anymore, if you continue to fight like this, you don't need the rear army of the demon soldiers to rush to reinforcements, just these demon soldiers on Yuhuatai can drag my king down alive." ”

After muttering, Li Xiucheng involuntarily turned his head to look in the direction of Huguang, his eyes were complicated, and he didn't dare to imagine what kind of huge pressure he would have to bear after the Wu army's reinforcements arrived at the Nanjing battlefield, and how should this big battle be fought?
