Chapter 503: Differential Treatment

Without God's perspective, and without direct access to the Taiping Army's decision-making level, Zhou Tenghu and Jin Anqing certainly couldn't know what role the self-army's discord plan could play and what effect it received, but after receiving the report that the Taiping Army's Tan Shaoguang Department attacked the Zijun's Sijing and Xinzhuang strongholds at the same time for two consecutive days, Zhou Tenghu and Jin Anqing knew that the self-army's discord plan was successful.

"Meisheng really has a clever plan, Tan Shaoguang, the long-haired man, can only grit his teeth and suffer a loss in order to prove his innocence."

Since the Wu Army Arsenal was unfortunately destroyed by the Taiping Army's sneak attack, Zhou Tenghu rarely showed some relaxed smiles, and was very satisfied with Yu Jin Anqing's clever plan, and there was a suspicion and estrangement between the various units of the Taiping Army that were not under each other's control. However, it was easy to be relaxed, and while relieved, Zhou Tenghu couldn't help but praise the enemy, and said: "But I also admire Tan Shaoguang, a big long-haired person, for the sake of long-haired internal unity, even such a big loss is willing to suffer, and I may not be able to do it." ”

"No matter how willing Tan Shaoguang is, it's useless, he can't prove anything." Jin Anqing smiled and said: "If Lu Shunde and Huang Zilong are willing, it can still be considered that this is a manifestation of Tan Shaoguang's lack of guilt as a thief, and it is even possible to think that Tan Shaoguang is sharpening his knife and not cutting wood, while deceiving them to take it lightly, while not delaying the capture of Shanghai." ”

"So how can we make Huang Zilong and Lu Shunde so convinced? Forcing Tan Shaoguang to a dead end? It also makes the inside of the long hair more fragmented? Zhou Tenghu asked quietly: "Is it okay to use another foreigner's letter?" ”

"Of course, you can't use foreign letters anymore." Jin Anqing replied: "Once it can be said to be a coincidence, one after another, letters from foreigners and Tan Shaoguang in collusion fell into the hands of outsiders, which is inevitably too fake. ”

After vetoing the method of using fake letters again, Jin Anqing said: "The best way to divide the line now is to treat them differently." Tan Shaoguang attacked Sijing and Xinzhuang yesterday and today, the purpose is to prove his innocence, this point must not let him succeed, even if it costs more, we must try our best to defend Sijing and Xinzhuang, and do not give Tan Shaoguang a chance to prove his innocence. ”

"And no matter the stronghold under Tan Shaoguang's long-haired attack on us, we must resolutely defend it! If you want Tan Shaoguang to suffer enough, you have to continue to carry the black pot of hard work! Let the long-haired army under his command resent the allies, and also see how long he Tan Shaoguang can be a decent gentleman! ”

After viciously talking about the strategy against Tan Shaoguang, Jin Anqing changed his tone again, and said with a smile: "On the contrary, we have to be as gentle as possible with Huang Zilong and Lu Shunde, as long as they don't push us too hard, we don't rush to poison and make heavy moves, if it doesn't have too much impact, we can even deliberately let them take down one or two strongholds." Let them have more to say in front of Tan Shaoguang, and also make Tan Shaoguang jump into the Yellow River even more and can't wash it away. ”

Zhou Tenghu laughed loudly and said with a smile: "Meisheng, you are a persimmon picking soft pinch, picking honest people to bully." ”

"It's despicable, and it's really bullying honest people." Jin Anqing also frankly admitted that he was not a good thing, and then quibbled: "But I can't help it, if I don't do it, if I really let Tan Shaoguang, an honest man, let go of his hand and fight, and let him drive the long hair to unite into an iron plate to fight with us, it will only be us and our soldiers who are unlucky." ”

"That's right, a kind-hearted long-haired man like Tan Shaoguang, it's best to make him as miserable as possible." Zhou Tenghu nodded with a smile, and said with a smile: "Just do it, treat it differently, and pick Tan Shaoguang to bully." ”

…………

The decision of the unscrupulous partners Zhou Tenghu and Jin Anqing can be regarded as a pit for the Taiping Army soldiers under Tan Shaoguang's department, and the battle is already difficult to fight, and the two places they are currently attacking are the defensive support points of the Wu army in Shanghai on the western front, and the fortifications are strong and tightly guarded, which is extremely difficult to break, which will Zhou Tenghu on the one hand to Sijing and Xinzhuang on the one hand, and on the other hand, he sent fresh reinforcements to these two camps, and Tan Shaoguang's department wants to take these two strongholds again, of course, it is not so easy.

Not only was it not easy, but the two battlefields of Sijing and Xinzhuang also directly became the nightmare and meat grinder of Tan Shaoguang's Taiping army, with strong fortifications, even if they did not dare to use picric acid weapons and firing guns, the Wu army in Shanghai still used mini guns, carbines, flintlock pistols and primitive arquebuses to beat the Taiping army to heavy casualties and struggle. In four days, Tan Shaoguang's troops attacked Sijing and Xinzhuang more than 40 times, paid nearly 1,000 casualties, and basically razed the trenches and walls on the periphery of these two Wu army strongholds, but still failed to take these two strongholds guarded by the Wu army.

"Jian Tianyi, we can't fight like this anymore, the demon soldiers are so resolute, even if we can take Sijing and Xinzhuang, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties, we have to find another way, or fight in another place."

Many subordinate generals persuaded Tan Shaoguang so hard, but in order to unite the overall situation with concerted efforts, Tan Shaoguang did not listen at all, and still tried his best to comfort and encourage his subordinate generals who had followed him for many years from birth to death, while insisting on storming the stronghold of the Wu army.

Diametrically opposed to Tan Shaoguang's subordinates, the Taiping army under Huang Zilong and Lu Shunde can only be described as playing soy sauce, basically dangling in front of other Wu army strongholds every day, symbolically firing a few shots to lure Wu Jun to shoot back, and then immediately and justifiably collect troops and return to the camp.

As a result, with the increasing number of casualties and the repeated difficulties in attacking fortifications, the grievances of the Taiping Army officers and soldiers under Tan Shaoguang's department naturally became bigger and bigger, and the calls for friendly troops to help and share the pressure were endless, and even began to question Tan Shaoguang in person why the friendly troops did not fight a tough battle.

Forced to be helpless, and unwilling to let his subordinates know the real reason why the self-army was solely responsible for storming Sijing and other places - that was the real possibility of causing chaos in the world, Tan Shaoguang could only make a request to Huang Zilong and Lu Shunde, hoping that the friendly army could exert a little force on other battlefields, encircle Wei and save Zhao to share some pressure for the self-army, and reduce some resistance to his army.

No matter how warlordization becomes more and more obvious, they are comrades-in-arms after all, and they have seen with their own eyes the sacrificial efforts made by Tan Shaoguang's troops on the battlefields of Sijing and Xinzhuang, Huang Zilong and Lu Shunde still agreed to strengthen the offensive and try their best to bear the pressure on Tan Shaoguang's department. Tan Shaoguang was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately agreed to work together the next day, and each of them attacked the target for which their own army was responsible.

Early the next morning, Tan Shaoguang personally led the army to the Sijing battlefield, where the Taiping army and the Wu army in Shanghai had fought for the most tragic battle, although the Taiping army scouts found accurate information that the Wu army sent a battalion of reinforcements to Sijing yesterday, and also buried some mines overnight outside the last trench wall, but Tan Shaoguang still did not hesitate to issue an order at the appointed time, and the elite of the command post department launched an attack on the Sijing battlefield, which was already full of corpses.

After the reinforcement of the troops, the Sijing Wu army resisted more tenaciously than usual, and also used a small number of picric acid weapons in the fierce battle, using grenadiers and picric acid grenades to blow up the Taiping army that charged in clusters with great casualties, and repelled the attacks of Tan Shaoguang's elite twice. also beat Tan Shaoguang's most trusted general, Wu Xijiu, to the heart like a knife, and couldn't help but run to Tan Shaoguang to make a suggestion: "Jian Tianyi, the demon soldiers are too tenacious, should we change the way?" Otherwise, if this continues, the casualties of your descendants will be too great. ”

Seeing the tragic casualties of the elite of his descendants who had followed him for many years, Tan Shaoguang was even more heartbroken, and he also had the idea of wanting to properly retain some strength. However, at this moment, a herald rushed to the west, kneeling down on one knee and playing to Tan Shaoguang: "Yujian Tianyi, the Heavenly Army of the Kyauktian Weather Department has successfully taken the demon soldiers' Beiganshan camp!" ”

"What? Kyauktian has already taken Beigan Mountain? ”

Tan Shaoguang's surprise was not trivial, and Wu Xijiu next to him exclaimed even more, "How is it possible?" How could the demon soldiers of Beigan Mountain be so unbeaten? ”

Although it was incredible, it was an ironclad fact that Huang Zilong's troops successfully took the Beiganshan stronghold next to Sijing, and what made Tan Shaoguang, Wu Xijiu and others feel unbelievable was that in the afternoon, good news also came from the Pudong battlefield, saying that Lu Shunde's department had successfully taken the Zhoupu stronghold of the Wu army in Shanghai.

I'd rather have a bed in Puxi than a room in Pudong – this was the case in the twentieth century, let alone Shanghai in the nineteenth century. Although the victory in the Pudong battlefield is not important at all, and the Wu army's Beiganshan position is far less important than the Sijing battlefield, but the two friendly armies have both made breakthroughs, but the self-army has always fought so aggrieved, in contrast, Tan Shaoguang inevitably has a fever on his face, and he also has a feeling that he can't wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River. Therefore, Tan Shaoguang had no choice but to force his descendants to continue to attack, and use the crowd tactics to exchange for a small peripheral camp of the Wu army.

Late that night, after paying more than 800 elite casualties, Tan Shaoguang's army finally forced the Shanghai Wu army, which also suffered heavy casualties, to take the initiative to abandon Sijing and withdraw Qibao. However, what made Tan Shaoguang extremely helpless was that most of the elites he spent on the battlefield were the second-line troops of the Wu Army in Shanghai, and Huang Zilong and Lu Shunde had more to say......

"Jian Tianyi, didn't you keep saying that you had done your best? Why did your army barely take Sijing after we first took Beiganshan and Zhoupu? ”

Of course, Huang Zilong and Lu Shunde, who are barely big shots, speak politely, at the grassroots level, the Taiping soldiers under Huang Lu and Lu speak ugly, and they are ridiculed and insulted for their thankless efforts, and none of the Taiping soldiers under Tan Shaoguang will naturally be happy, and the estrangement between the three Taiping armies that are not subordinate to each other is naturally getting deeper and deeper.
