Xiliang Mountain, the camp of the Qing army, Li Dengzhou lost Yuxikou and was anxious, and Lai was counting on him to send troops to recover it at Song'an's residence. Song'an was also depressed, and Pan Xien, who was defeated in Taiping Mansion with him, excused himself to recuperate and went to Hezhou. But also, Pan Xien is now nearly seventy years old, a few years ago as the governor of the river to Shi, has long lost his official addiction, this time to handle the donation group training is also the emperor personally issued an edict to invite out, now that he has lost the battle, the court does not count him as a septuagenarian man.

Yuxikou has been lost, Xiliang Mountain can no longer be missed, and Song'an, who has been a deserter once, will never dare to escape this time. On the one hand, I had to build a camp, and on the other hand, I asked for help from all directions, but in fact, I was most worried about the Taiping army that entered the Yuxi River, and I didn't know what they were going to do. None of the sentinels sent came back, so did they want to enter Chaohu Lake and besiege the temporary provincial capital of Luzhou......

"Report!" A long howl followed the people who came rushing in from outside the tent.

"What's going on again!"

"Report ...... Report! Yuncao Town has ...... There was a large force of long-haired raids, and Lord Huang sent a lowly position to break through and ask for help! The person who came breathlessly prayed.

"Huh!" When Song'an heard that the Taiping army was heading towards Yuncao Town, his brows immediately eased slightly. Rescue? It's impossible, it's too late to hide, how dare you fight, I wish the long hair was going farther and farther.

"Huang Yuanji didn't bring a group practice from Fengyang, even if he can't repel the long hair, there should always be more than enough self-protection!" Song An hesitated for a moment and said very seriously.

"My lord, Lord Huang's subordinates are all village warriors, how can they fight! Ask your lord to send troops! Lord Huang said that there are 160,000 stone grains in the town......"

"What!? 160,000 stones? "If so much grain falls into the hands of the Taiping army, he will not be able to escape the involvement. He didn't defend the estuary, and he was punished for several crimes, maybe the court would be the first to cut him. On the contrary, if it is saved, it can be regarded as a meritorious service...... "Quick, quickly notify all battalions to assemble!" Go to the rescue! ”

At this time, Song'an couldn't manage much, and returned the empty Xiliangshan camp to Li Dengzhou, the governor of Hezhou.

After the sun sets, the villagers, accustomed to sunset, return to their nests. On the north bank of the Sanchai River, on a group of rolling hills, wild boars wander leisurely in the forest, pheasants shake their beautiful tails, and call to their companions from time to time, quiet and peaceful.

"My lord, do you think this old demon of Song'an is coming? If we don't come, we have to hurry up and rush to grab food! Yuan Hongmo's broken voice shouted out out of place.

"Shut up!" Wang Jingyuan severely reprimanded Aijiang. In fact, he wasn't sure if Song'an dared to take this risk, but the records of the Taiping Army's westward expedition did have a record of winning 160,000 stone of rice in Yuncao, but the time was September, and now he came four months in advance, so I don't know if there is food. If there is food, the Qing army will come!

"Here, Marshal, look!" Yuan Hongmo pointed to the dark shadow under the hills.

The black shadow flickered up and down, and it was extremely agile, and it rushed to Wang Jingyuan in less than half a moment.

"My lord, the Qing Demon has arrived at the housekeeper village six miles away, and it is estimated that he will cross the river at the Hu family upstream of us!" At this time, it became clear that the black shadow was the army commander Xie Zhenke, who was reconnoitring the enemy on the south bank of the river.

"How many people came?"

"Less than two thousand."

Hujiadu is a small village by the Niutun River, and it is also a small ferry, with a few ferries. The village is located on the south bank, but there is no smoke on the north bank.

After the hour, a team of about 50 people secretly drove into Hujiadu, and Hujiadu, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened in a moment. The screams and cries broke the silence of the night for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, it stopped ringing. The group quickly mastered the few small boats in the village, crossed the Niutun River in turn, climbed ashore with great alertness, and then quickly dispersed in groups of ten people in all directions, and soon disappeared into the rape fields.

Yes, these people were the outposts of the Qing army, and after them, several Qing troops of more than 100 people came. The new Qing army demolished the houses in the village and scavenged as much wood as they could so that they could build rafts. Soon after, a Qing army of 1,000 men appeared on the south bank. It was the Song'an Department of the Qing Army who came, and after Song'an decisively gave up Xiliang Mountain, he went straight to Yuncao Town in the starry night. Song'an was afraid of being ambushed by the Taiping army at night, so he sent a dense sentry very carefully, and when he arrived at the river, he was even more frightened.

Soon, the Qing army began to cross the river, and more than a dozen hastily set up rafts kept coming and going between the two banks, and some Qing troops who were familiar with the water nature swam directly over, and gradually half of the number of people gathered on the north bank. After a while, Songan also boarded the ferry with the support of the generals. After crossing the river, the first thing that catches his eye is the rape field under the moonlight, and as far as the eye can see, there are all such crops that are less than three feet high, and there is not even a small hillside that is easy to hide, and Songan is relieved.

Suddenly, there was a strange sound in the sky, and the soldiers of the Qing army couldn't help but look up, it was an arrow! In an instant, arrows rained down, and the Qing army was busy dodging everywhere, and the surrounding area was empty, where could there be any place to hide, so they had to flee with their heads in their hands.

In an instant, deep in the rape field in the east, a big man suddenly rose up, holding a big flower axe and shouting: "Brothers, kill! Immediately after, countless Taiping troops jumped up behind the big man and rushed over like fierce beasts.

Half-crossed! Songan collapsed! He shouted almost frantically: "Formation! Defense! ”

But the Qing soldiers, who were already in chaos, could still listen to him, and they all rushed to flee west.

Unexpectedly, another Taiping army rushed out from the west, and the leader was Wang Jingyuan, the commander of the Right Eighth Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!

"Kill!" Wang Jingyuan rushed straight with his sword, and after experiencing the six-in-one battle, he was no longer a rookie on the battlefield, but a real general. Hearing the chant of the main general, the holy soldiers of the heavenly kingdom all descended from the mountain and rushed towards the Qing demon with a roar.

The weapons collided and resonated on the earth, and the holy soldiers of the heavenly kingdom wantonly brandished their swords and spears, slashing and killing at will, and scattered their hatred for the Manchu officials and the landlords and lords on the Qing soldiers who aided in the abuse. Blood splattered everywhere and stumps rolled everywhere.

The timing of the half-crossing attack, the strategy of outflanking the two wings, and the momentum of the heavenly soldiers like a rainbow, all these doomed the Qing army to defeat! At the end of the day, the cold moon hung high, and the earth was filled with the smell of blood. The Battle of Hujiadu ended, and the Taiping army was victorious. The Qing general Song'an led his army to resist, and fled in the direction of Hanshan with only a few followers.

Wang Jingyuan sat on the riverbank exhausted, and in this battle he killed three with his own hands, and with the assistance of the commanders and lieutenants of the army, he killed five people. At a glance, there are corpses of Qing soldiers everywhere, but there are also many corpses of holy soldiers. "Are they all still there?" Wang Jingyuan asked hurriedly.

"Here, military commander, my old Yuan is not so easy to die!" Yuan Hongmo licked the bloodshot at the corner of his mouth and strode from not far away.

"Yuan Heizi won't die, Lord Yama won't accept us blind!"

"Haha, okay!" Seeing that the two capable subordinates were safe and sound, Wang Jingyuan was really happy.

"What a victory! Marshal! What a victory! Zhong Liangxiang, who was in charge of the inventory, shouted excitedly: "Marshal, great victory, more than 800 Qing demons were beheaded, 300 people were captured, and only 500 people who did not cross the river escaped." ”

"Is Songan dead?" Wang Jingyuan hurriedly asked, do you know that since the Western Expedition, the Taiping Army has not killed a Qing army member.

"Let this demon run away again!"

"Let's let him stay for a few days, will our army suffer a big loss?" Wang Jingyuan was a little worried about this battle of winning more with less.

"Marshal, we have lost one hundred and sixty-seven people, two brigade commanders, three pawn commanders, and two Sima twelve." Lu Yaoling replied in a low voice, for fear that Wang Jingyuan would be angry.

Hearing this number, Wang Jingyuan frowned unconsciously: "There are many, there are still so many casualties in the ambush battle, and there is still a lot of training......

Wang Jingyuan did not delay much in Hujiadu, and after burying the dead holy soldiers in a hurry, he led more than 800 people from the front and rear battalions of the Right Eighth Army to rush to Yuncao with the prisoners.

This time, Wang Jingyuanbu did not make any cover-up, everyone held torches in their hands, and appeared outside Yuncao Town, and the boundless fields were full of a sea of torches, which really scared Huang Yuanji a lot, and the Taiping army on the river could not drive away, but now it has increased so much.

When the news of the annihilation of the Qing Demon Song'an Department reached the other battalions of the Right Eighth Army, cheers of victory broke out in an instant, and then the front and rear battalions of the Right Eighth Army and the Right Sixth Army all shouted, and the morale of the Taiping Army soared. The situation also became more and more unfavorable for the Qing army, and the morale completely collapsed.

Zuo Chongji ordered the red-coated cannon to be unloaded from the ship and attacked Yuncao Town with all his might, the Qing army, which was already a frightened bird, made them feel how powerful the Taiping army was, and the Qing army on the position began to commotion, and some regimental exercises were also moving in the direction of no torches.

"Kill!" Suddenly, the Taiping army launched a general attack, and one by one the vigorous holy soldiers calmly crossed the trench set up by the Qing army, and with the reduction of the sound of artillery, the holy soldiers and the stubborn Qing soldiers launched a short-handed confrontation, and the sound of fighting and crying once again resounded throughout the earth.

"This is war!" Wang Jingyuan, who was standing on a high slope and watching the battle, sighed.

"The Qing court has no way, and it is not broken! These holy soldiers fought for the kingdom of heaven and died for the king of the east! Die well deserved! Jing Yuan doesn't have to mind. I don't know when, Hou Yutian appeared next to him.

Wang Jingyuan looked coldly at the guy who only knew the king of the east, to be honest, this person is good, at least much better than Zuo Chongji, but unfortunately he is too loyal to the king of the east. In fact, he can't be blamed entirely, after all, the Kingdom of Heaven was fought under the leadership of the King of the East, and without the King of the East, there would be no Kingdom of Heaven, which is the consensus of the vast majority of soldiers.
