Just do it, the sky has just darkened, Chen Alin, the third leader of the Liu Jiajun of the Double Knife Society, brought more than 20 henchmen with him, and prepared to go to the south gate with sacks to find the green camp to find the bad luck of the chief Chen Daoyuan, Liu Lichuan had been invited by Yang Wending to drink and have a banquet, and no one in the Liu Jiajun camp could stop Chen Alin from doing this, but unfortunately, when he walked out of the camp gate, Chen Alin happened to meet Lin Afu, the second leader of the Liu Jiajun who came back from patrolling the city wall of the East Gate - Lin Afu, who had helped Wu Chaoyue rescue from Weng Tong's knife, But Liu Jiajun is the only more reliable goods.

After hearing about the conflict between Chen Alin and the Green Battalion soldiers, and seeing that Chen Alin and his party were fully armed and murderous, Lin Afu, who was familiar with Chen Alin's temperament, immediately understood that things were not good, and hurriedly stopped Chen Alin on the spot and asked, "Alin, where are you going?" What are you doing with so many people out of camp so late? ”

"Revenge." Chen Alin didn't hide it, and said directly: "During the day, there was a Lu Ge from the Green Camp who led people to fight with us, and there were too many people at that time to have a chance to play a heavy hand, so I will go and deal with him." ”

"Are you crazy?" Lin Afu's face turned white, and he exclaimed in a low voice: "Did you take the wrong medicine?" Now that Longhair is outside the city, it may come in at any time, and you dare to do this kind of thing, so you are not afraid that Longhair will take the opportunity to come in? ”

"I'm afraid of a ball!" Chen Alin waved his hand and said arrogantly: "There are foreigner weapons that Uncle Shuang bought for us, I am afraid of long hairball eggs!" You don't care about this, I'll do it. ”

After that, Chen Alin pushed Lin Afu away and was about to leave, but Lin Afu hurriedly stopped him again and persuaded in a low voice: "Alin, listen to my advice, forget it, don't make trouble." I heard about it during the day. It's our fault, Yang Futai asked that Lu Ge to kowtow to you to make amends. has already given us a lot of face, why do you need to inch in. Must offend the Green Battalion to death? ”

"It's because I've offended them that I have to do it to the end." Chen Alin taught Lin Afu a lesson in turn, and raised his previous face, and said: "You forgot, last time Uncle Shuang just didn't listen to Young Master Sun's persuasion and didn't kill Yuan Zu, and then Yuan Zu took revenge and almost killed Uncle Shuang, have you forgotten?" I've had such a deep feud with that Luge today, if I don't get rid of him quickly. When Longhair was attacking the city, he suddenly shot a black gun in my back, who will save me? You can? ”

Lin Afu couldn't refute Chen Alin's crooked reasoning, so he could only repeatedly persuade Chen Alin not to provoke infighting at this time, and said that once this matter was discovered, the consequences would definitely be unimaginable. Chen Alin insisted on not listening, and said impatiently: "It's okay, I have already inquired, that Lu Ge is on duty at the south gate tonight." There happened to be the least number of people, and I suspected that Longhair was going to attack the south gate tonight and go up to the city to patrol under the pretext of discovering the enemy's situation. Just kill that Luge if you find an opportunity. ”

After finishing speaking in a hurry, Chen Alin pushed Lin Afu away and went directly to the south gate with his thugs, but Lin Afu couldn't stop him. And because his brother couldn't move in a hurry, he could only quickly find another way to stop Lin Afu from coming. And then soon. Lin Afu thought of asking Liu Lichuan to come forward to stop this method, and Lin Afu did not hesitate at the moment. immediately hurried to the Jiangyin County Ya, looking for Liu Lichuan, who was drinking with Yang Wending and others, to report the matter.

Lin Afu's luck was worse than Chen Alin's, and when he went to the county government to ask to meet Liu Lichuan, Liu Lichuan not only did not come out alone to meet and talk to Lin Afu, but on the contrary, he also called Lin Afu into the banquet venue where the Qing army's civil and military officials gathered, and forced Lin Afu to also enter the table and drink. In front of many civil and military officials, Lin Afu of course didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only politely decline, and said to Liu Lichuan with a wink: "Lian Guan, please go out for a while, I have some military information to report to you alone." ”

"What kind of military situation, you need to go out and talk about it alone?" Liu Lichuan, who had already drunk a lot, didn't see Lin Afu's eyes at all, but just said with a grin: "If you have military information, just say it directly, all of you are officials and generals of our Qing Dynasty, and we don't need to hide our military information from them." ”

Finding that all the civil and military officials, including Yang Wending, had noticed him, Lin Afu had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Etiquette officer, Chen Alin, the sentry officer of our army, found that Changmao had an abnormal movement, and suspected that Changmao might attack the south gate of Jiangyin tonight, and now that Chen Sentinel has gone to the south gate to inspect, I can't rest assured, and I have come to report to you." ”

The banquet venue that was still shouting five and six just now suddenly became much quieter, and Yang Wending jumped up in surprise and exclaimed: "Long Mao is going to attack the south gate tonight, how did you find out?" ”

"Lord Futai, Sentinel Chen, he found that Long Hair was secretly preparing for war, and he also found that Long Hair had repeatedly peeped at the south gate of Jiangyin, so he suspected that Long Hair had the possibility of sneaking up on the south gate of Jiangyin." Lin Afu could only stubbornly talk nonsense, and said: "I don't know much about the specific situation, but Sentinel Chen has already taken some people to the south gate first to prevent any incident." ”

After listening to Lin Afu's nonsense, Yang Wending, Mo Zai, Tai Wenying and other civil and military officials were shocked, but did not dare to be the slightest slack, and even went to the south gate of Jiangyin to understand the situation in person. Lin Afu complained in his heart but didn't dare to stop it, so he could only honestly sing his promise to obey the order, and hurriedly rushed to the south gate with Yang Wending, Liu Lichuan and others to inspect, but when he arrived on the road, Lin Afu finally seized the opportunity to tell Liu Lichuan the truth alone, Liu Lichuan listened to it and complained that Lin Afu was making a big fuss, purely troublesome - how good it would be for Chen Alin to directly kill the green camp boss, why make such a big fuss, and delay the big drinking event that affected Uncle Liu.

After going up to the south gate with their own thoughts, Lin Afu was quietly relieved that Chen Alin was still walking around the city wall with people, obviously not having found a chance to start. Then there was no need to confess, after Yang Wending and others called Chen Alin to the front to understand the situation, Chen Alin, who was on duty at the east gate, in order to explain the reason why he went to the south gate privately, also said that he found that the Taiping army had an abnormal movement, and suspected that the Taiping army was going to attack the south gate of Jiangyin tonight, so he brought someone over to understand the situation. - At the same time, Chen Alin naturally glared at Lin Afu viciously and viciously at Lin Afu, who deliberately ruined his good deeds.

After listening to Chen Alin's explanation, Yang Wending naturally had no choice but to call Chen Daoyuan, the chief of the Qing army guarding the south gate tonight, to the front and ask him if he had noticed any changes in the long hair. However, to Lin Afu's surprise, Chen Daoyuan not only did not take the opportunity to accuse Chen Alin of nonsense. On the contrary, his tone was still a little vague, and he replied, "Lord Futai." The last general ......, and the last general did not go to the city until two o'clock to take over the defense. It's not ......, it's not very clear, but it seems to be ......, it seems to be ....... ”

"Like what? Just say, don't babble. Yang Wending urged impatiently.

"Looks like there's something unusual." Chen Daoyuan replied with some reluctance: "It seems that there are some figures operating outside the city, but the last general does not dare to confirm whether those people have hair. ”

"It's dark and close to the city wall, even if it's not long-haired, it's definitely a bandit!" Yang Wending's arbitrary analysis commanded Liu Lichuan and General Tai Wenying and others: "Liu Lianguan." Bring half of your men to be on duty here. Taiwan staff general, transfer 300 of your green battalion soldiers, 200 people to the city to help defend it, and another 100 people to guard the city gate. ”

Tai Wenying clenched his fists and took the order, and immediately sent someone to send an order to transfer troops, and Liu Lichuan, who knew the truth of the matter, had no choice but to sing a promise, and deliberately retaliated. Ordered Lin Afu to lead the sentry to the city wall to feed the mosquitoes, Lin Afu agreed, and Chen Daoyuan's face over there began to turn pale, and his legs began to tremble slightly. Cold sweat also oozed slightly from his forehead......

The order was conveyed, and the reinforcements were soon in place, but the Green Battalion and the Liu Jiajun quickly strengthened the defenders of the city. Also when Yang Wending and others were about to leave the city wall, an accident happened. A green battalion soldier whose face was as pale as paper suddenly left his post and rushed to Yang Wending, Tai Wenying and others and knelt down on their knees. shouted with a crying voice: "Lord Futai, General Taiwan, the villain wants to tell the truth, there are people here who secretly pass through Long Hair, and I want to dedicate the city gate to Long Hair tonight!" ”

Hearing this, before Yang Wending, Tai Wenying and others could react, Chen Daoyuan over there had already fled to the arrow battlement, and he was about to jump down the city when he jumped on the arrow battlement, but unfortunately, a green battalion soldier in the new city next to him was quick to see him and pulled him back and fell on the city wall. Chen Daoyuan didn't dare to delay, he got up and rushed to the arrow battlement, but unfortunately, more green battalion soldiers and Liu Jiajun Lian Yong had already reacted, Chen Daoyuan had just climbed halfway, and he had already been pointed at his chest by several green battalion soldiers with knives and guns............

…………

At the same time in the Taiping military camp, Chen Daoyuan's younger brother Chen Daotang was finally escorted to Li Kaifang and Ji Wenyuan by the Taiping soldiers. Chen Daotang, who had been bullied by Liu Jiajun's training, once thought that he would be treated well, but when Chen Daotang explained the reason for the surrender of the city, Li Kaifang didn't even read the letter of surrender written by Chen Daoyuan, and immediately shouted angrily: "Come on, escort this Qing demon out and whip it to death!" ”

Li Kaifang's personal soldiers, who had already seen this scene, did not hesitate, and immediately dragged Chen Daotang up and left, poor Chen Daotang was dizzy, struggling and shouting loudly, "Why? Why? General, what did the villain do and why did he do this to me? The villain is here to surrender, he is here to surrender, and he wants to dedicate the Jiangyin City Gate to you! ”

"Shut up!" Li Kaifang yelled angrily, "Transcending the little demon is really a fool to be the prime minister, and will he fall for his evil deeds again and again?" Last time in Jiangning, Prime Minister Ben was deceived by him less? Drag it out and give me a hard beating! ”

If it weren't for the relatively calm Ji Wenyuan next to him, maybe poor Chen Daotang would have been innocently beaten to death by the Taiping soldiers after being bullied by Liu Jiajun. When Chen Daotang was dragged down and beaten, although Ji Wenyuan did not object to drinking, he also picked up the letter of surrender written by Chen Daoyuan and read it carefully, seeing that the reason for the surrender on the letter was reasonable, and he also took the initiative to introduce the garrison of the Qing army and the deployment of troops in Jiangyin Zhumen, Ji Wenyuan was still a little suspicious, and said secretly: "Is it really to ask for surrender?" ”

Suspicious, Ji Wenyuan handed the letter to Li Kaifang and asked Li Kaifang to read the content of the letter, but Li Kaifang was frightened by Wu Chaoyue, so he pushed it away and said angrily: "Don't read it!" Prime Minister Ben won't be fooled again this time! ”

"Prime Minister Li, please calm your anger and listen to me." Ji Wenyuan persuaded: "Last time, the Transcendence Little Demon used a trick on us, it was to trick us into the urn city and annihilate all of them, but there is no urn city at the city gate here in Jiangyin, even if Liu Demon, the uncle of the transcendence little demon, tricks us into sneaking up on the city gate, there is no way to use the urn city to annihilate us all, we find that the situation is not right and immediately retreat, and we need to worry about how dangerous it will be?" ”

Hearing that Ji Wenyuan was reasonable, Li Kaifang picked up the letter of invitation and read it carefully, and then quickly began to waver like Ji Wenyuan. And Chen Daotang's cry outside the tent also kept coming, "General." We really want to surrender, we really want to sacrifice Jiangyin to you! The gang in Shanghai is too brave and bullying. The brothers who beat our green camp shot and killed people, and my brother was so angry that he sent me out of the city to contact you! We're not lying to you, we're really going to surrender, we're really going to surrender! ”

After gritting his teeth and hesitating for a long time, Li Kaifang finally ordered Chen Daotang to be dragged back into the tent, and carefully asked Chen Daotang about the details of the conflict between the Green Battalion soldiers and Liu Jiajun. said that Jiangyin Wenwu had all kinds of protection and connivance with Liu Jiajun Lian Yong, and even cried about Liu Jiajun Lian Yong's various bullying of the friendly army in the green camp. Li Kaifang and Ji Wenyuan repeatedly asked about all kinds of details, and Chen Daotang also knew everything, said everything, and there was no flaw at all—there was no flaw at all.

If it weren't for the huge temptation of capturing Yang Wending in Jiangyin, Li Kaifang would definitely not have made up his mind to take the risk of believing it again, but it was because Yang Wending had no way to run in Jiangyin City, Li Kaifang hesitated for a long time, and finally slapped the table. "Good! This prime minister will believe it one last time! But you listen to Prime Minister Ben, if you dare to cheat, and you are here to deceive Prime Minister Ben for the transcendence demon, Prime Minister Ben will cut you to death with a knife with his own hands! ”

After making up this mind. Li Kaifang immediately dispatched troops and ordered Shi Shaoheng to lead 500 elites as the vanguard commando, and let Ji Wenyuan lead 2,000 troops as backup. He mobilized the whole army for war overnight, waiting for the fighter plane to appear - it was indeed fearful.

As agreed. Just after the third watch, the five hundred commandos led by Shi Shaoheng had already touched the outside of the south gate of Jiangyin, which was facing the Henghe. It was ambushed next to the river beach, but the city wall was silent, there were not even a few torches and lanterns, and there were no signs of abnormality. But the more this is the case, the more worried the soldiers of the Taiping Army, who have already suffered enough losses, and Shi Shaoheng, who was forced to take over this task in desperation, kept praying in his heart, "Heavenly Father bless, don't have an ambush, don't have an ambush!" Huang Yiduan ran away last time because he was lucky, and if there is really an ambush this time, I'm afraid I won't have his luck. ”

According to the agreement, three red lanterns appeared on the city wall, and at the same time, the hanging suspension bridge was slowly lowered and gradually landed, and the city gate was also opened from the inside. Seeing the fighter plane appear, although his heart was still up and down, Shi Shaoheng could only stubbornly urge the army forward, led the assault team to rush across the suspension bridge, strode into the city gate, and killed into the same dark Jiangyin City............

Leading a group of soldiers through the dark and long city gate and the first step into the city, the first thing Shi Shaoheng did was to look up at the city, for fear that there would be some iron gates, but ............

There was a loud bang, and there was really an iron gate that suddenly fell, smashing several Taiping soldiers who couldn't dodge into meat sauce, and also blocked the unlucky General Shi Shaoheng in the city, and then almost at the same time, the war drums were beating, the city walls and the streets were full of murderous gunfire, torches were scattered, and countless Qing soldiers bravely killed out. Seeing this scene, Shi Shaoheng could only wail helplessly, "Sure enough, I still won the plan!" ”

After lamenting, Shi Shaoheng, who had no way to retreat and was outnumbered, had no choice, so he simply threw down his weapon and knelt down to surrender, crying: "Don't shoot, I surrender!" I give up! ”

Also miserable are the Taiping soldiers in the city gate, at the same time as the drum sounds, the city gate suddenly threw countless stones, firewood and torches, poured tung oil firewood and grass in the fire, the fire was raging, in a blink of an eye, it burned off the retreat of the Taiping soldiers. And then what was even more tragic was that because of Shi Shaoheng's shameless surrender, Liu Jiajun Lian Yong, who had not encountered any resistance at all, rushed directly to the jack gate, and shot at the Taiping soldiers in the city gate and corridor with a musket. The road is narrow, and the soldiers of the Taiping Army have no way to hide, and they can only be like rabbits in a cage, allowing Liu Jiajun to be slaughtered wantonly with a firing needle gun.

"Why is it a fraud again? How is it a fraud again? Beyond the little demon, you shameless traitor! Too despicable! It's so shameless! ”

Ji Wenyuan grabbed his head in pain outside the city, hating himself for not learning his lesson, and repeatedly being played and played by the tricks of the overtaking demon army. Liu Lichuan laughed on the city wall, and while leading his own soldiers to continuously throw grenades into the chaotic crowd of Taiping soldiers under the city, he said to himself triumphantly, "It turns out that fighting a war is so simple, and Beyond the virtuous nephew is right, Long Hair is easy to deal with, and it is easy to clean them up!" ”

After receiving the news that the Taiping army had suffered another fiasco, Li Kaifang was so angry that he collapsed directly on the ground, and he was so angry that he slapped himself and blamed himself, so painful that he almost wanted to cry loudly. However, what made Li Kaifang even more unexpected was still to come, the next morning, Yang Xiuqing sent a military order by speedboat, ordering him to immediately lead the army to retreat to Zhenjiang, Li Kaifang and Ji Wenyuan were unwilling, but they could only hold tears in their eyes, with a gritted hatred for Wu Chaoyue, and ordered the troops to retreat, and withdrew from the Jiangyin battlefield with the Taiping army in despair.

Of course, the Taiping Army, which withdrew out of strategic needs, gave Liu Lichuan a great merit in vain, and Yang Wending, who was overjoyed, desperately praised Liu Lichuan, but also exaggerated the victory of Liu Jiajun's less than 300 people to more than 1,300 people, and sent the good news to the capital to report the victory to Emperor Xianfeng with 600 miles. Then soon, another person's little face in the capital was swollen.

"Monk Aiqing, didn't you say that Wu Aiqing didn't do his duty and didn't train more elite soldiers for me? I only gave Wu Aiqing a total of 10,000 taels of silver in the past, and now I also give you 10,000 taels of silver, can you also train two such elite soldiers to kill the long-haired puppet king for me? Protect Jiangyin? ”

In the early dynasty, he was ridiculed by Emperor Xianfeng in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and Monk Greenqin didn't even dare to take a breath, and his forehead was just pleading for guilt again and again, "Slaves are guilty, slaves are guilty, slaves are ......, and crimes deserve death."
