In fact, Li Xiucheng's son-in-law Cai Yuanlong can not be so unlucky and embarrassed, let the Wu army mix in the crowd of defeated soldiers and directly kill into his camp, as long as Cai Yuanlong can make a decision on the spot, ruthlessly order the artillery and muskets on both sides of the camp gate to fire together to block the road, then there will be chaos in front of his big camp, and the soldiers of the Wu army will not want to steal chickens and easily kill into his camp.

But there is no way, at the critical moment, Cai Yuanlong softened his heart a little, looking at the crowd of defeated soldiers crowded in front of the camp gate, Cai Yuanlong once wanted to order the artillery, but he really couldn't bear to use his own artillery fire to slaughter his own soldiers, plus the main attack point of the Wu army today has always been Fengtaimen, Cai Yuanlong did not believe that the Wu army would open a new main attack battlefield and take advantage of the situation to capture his own camp, so Cai Yuanlong swallowed back the order that had been said to his lips at that time, and he couldn't be wrong anymore and gave Wu Jun a chance.

Qian Wei, who had received Wu Chaoyue's order in advance, firmly grasped this opportunity, as early as when fighting on two roads, Qian Wei had already found that Cai Yuanlong's army was easier to deal with than the Taiping army under Wang Haiyang's department, and decided early on that if there was a chance, he would resolutely attack Cai Yuanlong's camp, which would make Cai Yuanlong soft hearted and did not fire at the defeated soldiers of the Taiping army, Qian Wei of course unceremoniously forced the front army to expel the enemy's defeated soldiers as the vanguard, and attacked the camp gate of Cai Yuanlong's army with all his might, and the result was also an opportunity for those who were prepared, Dozens of Wu soldiers who temporarily took off their conspicuous white hats took the lead in rushing into the Taiping military camp, and suddenly threw grenades at the Taiping army reserves guarding both sides one after another.

It was still at this time that Cai Yuanlong panicked and ordered to open artillery to close the road, but it was too late to do so, and the soldiers of the Wu army who seized the opportunity followed one after another, regardless of the casualties, and rushed into the camp regardless of the casualties, and opened the way with melee weapon grenades, and quickly dispersed the Taiping army who hurriedly came up to block it, just like a white torrent that continued to rush into the Taiping military camp, killing people when they saw them, burning the tents when they saw them, destroying the fortifications, lighting the forts, Cai Yuanlong's military camp was completely chaotic, and he was forced to start his most hand-to-hand hand-to-hand white-handedness battle with the Wu army.

It is useless to jump over the wall and fight hand-to-hand combat with Wu Jun, Wu Jun's bayonet white-knuckle combat training is originally stricter and more scientific than that of the Taiping Army, this will be another adventure to kill the enemy camp on all sides, and a slight retreat is the end of no bones, so the Wu Army soldiers naturally kill more fiercely and ruthlessly in the white-knuckle battle of the sword, usually three or five Wu soldiers can stab a group of Taiping soldiers back and kill them, coupled with the grenade bombs constantly thrown by the Wu soldiers to cover, several counterattacks of the Taiping Army were quickly repelled by the Wu Army, The rear army of the Wu army entered Cai Yuanlong's camp in an endless stream, completely shattering the hope of the Taiping army to expel the Wu army from the camp.

Of course, Cai Yuanlong was well aware of the dangerous consequences of the loss of his camp, and in order to save the defeat, Cai Yuanlong not only held on to his Chinese camp to buy time, but also desperately asked for help from nearby friendly forces. But it's a pity that the Taiping army closest to Cai Yuanlong has all been ordered to put into the battlefield, either fighting with Huang Yuanbao or fighting with Feng Sanbao, and they can't spare their hands to reinforce Cai Yuanlong, the Taiping garrisons at Jiangdongmen and Shangxinhe were invited to help, but unfortunately these two Taiping armies are relatively weak and far away, and it is difficult to rush to the scene to share the pressure for Cai Yuanlong at the first time, so no matter how desperate Cai Yuanlong is, he still can't stop the Wu army from entering his Chinese camp. Quickly approaching his central command.

"I'm not leaving! I'm not going! I'm going to live and die with the camp! My camp is lost, and the whole battlefield is going to collapse! Let go of me and let me fight with the demon soldiers! I don't have the face to go back to see my father-in-law, I don't have the face to go back to see my father-in-law! ”

Seeing that the Wu army was getting closer and closer, the pro-soldiers could only forcibly set up Cai Yuanlong to flee to the back camp, Cai Yuanlong struggled and cried, but he was still carried out of the big tent by the pro-soldiers, as a result, Cai Yuanlong and others just left on the front foot, and the soldiers of the Wu army killed his big tent with the back foot, and cut down his main general banner with a knife, and the apricot-yellow Cai character banner fell to the ground in response, Cai Yuanlong's army also completely lost its command, and then completely collapsed, and the Taiping soldiers in the camp rushed out of the camp to flee for their lives, overturned the vehicle and tore down the camp tent, and abandoned the ordnance and carried countless weights. The officers and men of the Wu army under Qian Wei entered the camp in an all-round way, victoriously captured Cai Yuanlong's camp located in the west of Yuhuatai, and fired from behind, quickly seizing the trench sheep and horse wall position used by Cai Yuanlong's army to prevent Feng Sanbao's army from breaking through.

A little broken, the whole line collapsed, seeing Cai Yuanlong's camp lost, next to the Taiping army Zhong Wanqing, who was being attacked by the Wu army's Huang Yuanbao department, the morale of the Qing army was suddenly affected, the soldiers were afraid of the generals panicked, the Wu army had not yet hit the front of the front and had begun to look around to escape the road, the Wu army took the opportunity to storm and fight, first relying on the cover of fierce firepower, with Dana explosives to blow down a section of the Taiping army's camp wall, and then swarmed into the camp, the demoralized Taiping soldiers had no intention of fighting, and abandoned the camp and fled after a little resistance. Zhong Wanqing, who had Cai Yuanlong to carry the black cauldron, did not have the courage to fight with the Wu army to the end, and fled to Shuangqiaomen with the army that could still be commanded, leaving He Mingliang to fight alone in Fengtaimen, and dealing with the full impact of Huang Yuanbao of the Wu army alone.

At this time, the sky was already slightly dark, but the battle was still fierce, the red-eyed Wu army Huang Yuanbao was still attacking the Taiping army's last stronghold in Fengtai Gate, He Mingming's department, and the Wu army's Feng Sanbao department, who had made contact with the outside world, knew the intentions of the friendly army, and the tactics were no longer conservative and cautious, in addition to continuing to cooperate with Huang Yuanbao to attack He Mingliang, he also took out all his strength to meet the five Taiping armies attacking Yuhuatai from the northern front, and all kinds of picric acid weapons were no longer stingy to use, The hail and rain generally only greeted the Taiping army that was attacking from the back, blowing up the Taiping army that had worked hard to cry wolf, and the corpses were all over the field, waiting for the enemy who was forced to attack by Li Xiucheng.

After taking Cai Yuanlong's camp, Qian Wei, who was very brainy, did not rush to join the melee of Fengtai Gate, and chose to let Feng Sanbao's soldiers lead the way, and made a detour to fight the flanks of Ye Yunlai and Wu Ruxiao of the Taiping Army who were storming Yuhuatai. After being attacked by the Wu army from the flank, it still didn't last much time, and was quickly defeated, and Ye Yunlai and Wu Ruxiao, the two diehards, had already retreated, and the remaining three Jiangsu and Zhejiang Taiping armies subordinate to Li Xiucheng were naturally even more warless.

The matter is not over, seeing that the fighter plane is too rare, the Qian Wei Department of the Wu Army decisively launched an attack on the nearest Ye Yunlai and Wu Ruxiao's two army camps, Feng Sanbao divided his troops to go down the mountain to help the battle, and the two armies joined hands to break through the camp of Ye Wu's second army, which was already seriously injured, not to mention, and killed Ye Yunlai, a heavy general of the Taiping Army, in the melee. At the same time, Huang Yuanbao finally entered He Mingming's camp at the second watch, He Mingming's army was defeated and fled eastward, trampling on each other in the night, countless dead, and the corpses paved the east of the camp trench, and the Taiping Army Deng Guangming, who was not far away, did not dare to send troops to respond, so he could only close the camp and protect himself, and watched the fiasco of Fengtaimen.

In just one day, six Taiping army camps, including Fangshan, were captured by the Wu army, and seven Taiping armies such as Cai Yuanlong, He Mingliang and Wang Haiyang were severely damaged, and the remaining four Taiping armies that participated in the war also suffered heavy losses, and the loss of soldiers directly exceeded 40,000, and the losses in heavy grain, grass, weapons and ammunition were even more incalculable. What's worse is that because the main force of the Wu army has opened up a direct connection with Feng Sanbao's army, and the Wu army's Feng Sanbao department has been firmly controlling the highest point of Yuhuatai outside Nanjing's Jubaomen, and has a condescending advantage in hand, so the camps that the Taiping army established around Yuhuatai have actually been directly exposed to the Wu army's sword, and the Wu army can send troops to attack back and forth at any time as long as they are willing, kill Wang Haiyang and Deng Guangming's army stationed at Jiagangmen, and then pull out the other camps of the Taiping army one by one.

Therefore, before he had time to count the specific losses of the army, and he did not have time to punish and punish the ineffective generals headed by Cai Yuanlong, Li Xiucheng could only raise the account overnight to discuss how to adjust the army's defense. As a result, it was also at this time that Li Xiucheng was extremely troubled to find that there was not much way to go, and there were basically only three choices left.

"Chung Wang Chitose, we only have three choices left now, one is to remove the encirclement of Yuhuatai, withdraw the troops from all walks of life to other key positions, hold other dangerous points outside the city, and continue to rely on the geographical advantages to maneuver with the demon soldiers, and drag the demon soldiers into a war of attrition."

"The second option is to gather our troops, concentrate our troops on the Qiqiao urn, the upper bridge and the Tushan line, use the Qinhuai River as the defense line to confront the demon soldiers, and pull the demon soldiers into a war of attrition."

"The third option ......." Speaking of this, Li Shuxiang's voice was a little weak, and he hesitated for a moment before saying: "I just ask the Heavenly King to give us permission to let our main force enter the Tianjing City and resist the attack of the demon soldiers with the city wall fortifications." This is also our best choice, Tianjing City is large, it can accommodate so many of our troops, the city walls are strong, and the city fortifications are also very perfect, which is enough to offset the gun advantage of the demon soldiers. ”

Li Xiucheng was silent, and after a long time, he turned to Mo Shixuan, the prison army that Hong Xiuquan forcibly sent to him, and asked, "Mo Qiuguan, do you say that Long Live the Heavenly King will agree to let my main force enter the city?" ”

"This ......." Mo Shixuan hesitated and did not answer immediately, and then asked rhetorically: "King Chung Chitose, is it the best choice for your army to enter the city in the current situation?" ”

"Not bad." Li Xiucheng nodded and said in a deep voice: "The Tianjing battlefield is too big, and letting my army continue to defend each of them will only give the demon soldiers a chance to break my army." It is not very useful to fully retreat to the east bank of the Qinhuai River, the Qinhuai River is not wide, it is not difficult to cross, and the demon soldier Cao Yanzhong has already captured the Fangshan position on the east bank of the Qinhuai River, and can go north at any time to meet the demon soldiers to cross the river. Only by retreating into the city to defend the city can I be sure that I can block the demon soldiers for a long time and wait for a turning point. ”

"It's ......." Mo Shixuan was still very embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "Loyal King Chitose, can the King of Heaven promise to let you enter the city, Your Majesty really doesn't dare to speculate on the mind of the King of Heaven." But His Majesty thinks that this may be very small, even if it is Meng Shiyong's palm rate and Yan Wang Chitose (Qin Rigang) deputy head rate, it is impossible to agree, and if the two of them don't nod their heads, it is even more unlikely that the king of heaven will agree. ”

"Why?" Li Xiucheng asked: "Meng Shiyong and Qin Rigang, why won't they agree?" ”

Mo Shixuan hesitated even more, and secretly looked left and right, Li Xiucheng understood, and said: "If Mo Qiuguan is inconvenient, you can come to my ear and say, I promise that no third person will know." ”

Trusting Li Xiucheng's character, Mo Shixuan really came to Li Xiucheng's ear, and said in a low voice: "Zhongwang Chitose, you still have so many soldiers and horses, and your prestige is so high, after entering Tianjing City, the Palm Wrapper Rate and Yan Wang Chitose will be completely trampled under your feet immediately." His subordinates live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, worried that they will have this consideration. ”

Li Xiucheng sighed, knowing that what Mo Shixuan said was digging out his heart, and after he led the army into the city, he would seriously threaten the status of Meng Shiyong and Qin Rigang, but Li Xiucheng refused to give up, thinking that Qin Rigang, who had many criminal records, must be so sinister, but Meng Shiyong, who was young and old, may not be such a person. So after thinking about it for a while, Li Xiucheng still ordered: "Shuxiang, you take my token and go to Tianjing City overnight to see Meng Shiyong, and ask him to help you see Long Live the Heavenly King tonight no matter what, and ask for the permission of the Heavenly King for me, so that I can lead the army into Tianjing City." ”

"King Chung Chitose, your subordinates are not sure of this?" Li Shuxiang said with a trembling voice.

"Whether you're sure or not, give it a try for me." Li Xiucheng said coldly: "If you don't agree, you can't kneel for me, and kneel until the King of Heaven agrees." Don't worry, for my sake, long live the king of heaven will not kill you. ”

Forced to be helpless, Li Shuxiang could only take Li Xiucheng's token and entrustment into the city, but waited until dawn, Li Xiucheng never waited for Li Shuxiang's news, on the contrary, he waited for Wu Chaoyue to send the general Bi Jinke to lead the new army out of the battle to attack the camp of Deng Guangming and Wang Haiyang of the Taiping Army, which had suffered heavy losses yesterday. Li Xiucheng sighed when he heard the report and scolded: "The son of a bitch raised a transcendent little demon, she really doesn't even want me to breathe!" ”

"Chunwang Chitose, what should we do now?" Li Rongfa, the second hall of Zhong, who helped Li Xiucheng lead the Chinese army, opened his mouth and reminded: "Deng Guangming and Wang Haiyang suffered a lot of losses yesterday, I'm afraid it will be difficult to block the attack of the demon soldiers, is it to send reinforcements to them?" Or let them transfer? You have to make a decision early. ”

"Wait a little longer." Li Xiucheng said expressionlessly: "It's morning, there should be news from Li Shuxiang's side." ”

It's a pity that it was still in the afternoon, after the Wu army took the lead in breaking through Wang Haiyang's camp, Li Xiucheng waited for Li Shuxiang, who was tied up by five flowers, and Hong Xiuquan scolded his will, "Li Xiucheng, why did you send the courtiers of the loyal palace to my Golden Dragon Hall to cry and make trouble?" I told you to kill the demon soldiers, but you have to lead the army into the city, how to fight the demon soldiers when you enter the city? This time spare you, next time you dare to lead the army into Tianjing City, the law of heaven will not allow it! Chin this! ”

After listening to Hong Xiuquan's holy decree, he looked at Li Shuxiang, who was bloodstained on his forehead and had been crying, Li Xiucheng did not have any expression, and said to Li Shuxiang very calmly: "You did your best, I don't blame you, and fully retreated to the east bank of the Qinhuai River......." ”

Speaking of this calmly, Li Xiucheng added three words in his heart with great dejection, "Wait for death." ”
