This is the right path!

The same exclamation is not only issued by Shi Dakai alone, the same words also came from the group wind gathering, facing the wooden boats in the distance, looking at the boats on the river, at this time Zhu Yifeng's already nervous back broke out in a cold sweat, this may be the legendary dark under the lamp!

The reason why he chose to pretend to be the Taiping Army to occupy Tuanfengji, his intention is very simple, it is nothing more than gambling, betting that the information of this era is not working, located on the bank of the river Tuanfengji in front of a fairly large area of reeds in front of a newborn sandbar, and it is far away from the official road, in the name of the Taiping Army stationed here, when encountering the land Taiping Army, you can pretend that it is sent by the sailor to sweep along the coast, if it touches the land and water, it will be transformed into a land cover force across the river.

Although the deployment of the Taiping army along the Yangtze River is not even clear, at least one thing can be assured, that is, those Taiping troops will never look at more than 200 people, let alone "their own people".

"Well, host, this, there must be at least a few thousand ships! These people will have to wait a few days! ”

With a red scarf tied on his head, Li Ziyuan looked at the thousands of ships that almost occupied the river, and said a little nervously.

"It's almost over......"

As soon as these words fell, I saw a small boat coming on the river, and there were almost a dozen people on the boat shaking and steering, and when the boat approached the wooden bridge by the river, I heard someone on the boat shouting loudly in a Hunan accent.

"Who are you, and by whom are you here?"

Staring at the Taiping Army on the ship, Zhu Yifeng immediately shouted loudly in Cantonese, even he didn't know what he was talking about, but he knew that in the Taiping Army, the special identity of the tens of thousands of "old brothers" who could speak Cantonese was in front of outsiders, even if he was a brigade commander, he might not dare to bully an "old brother", after all, these Hakka people who have been caught in the "Turk dispute" every year for thousands of years are far from being understood by outsiders. There is a feeling of being unhappy and wanting to clean up people.

"Our brigade commander said, Lao Tzu is ****** tired like a dog, running on this road, protecting you, ****** haven't had time to catch his breath yet, you ****** also ask who Lao Tzu is, if you have the ability, come up and ask the master who you are ******......"

Yu Xiaobao, who was bowing his waist, also scolded after scolding at the owner, of course, his scolding was more repeating the "meaning" of the owner, he scolded so badly, the faces of the people on the boat changed instantly, and it seemed that one of the leaders listened to this person speaking Cantonese, and hurriedly laughed,

"Brother, don't blame me, blame me, disturb your ......"

As he spoke, he motioned with his hand to the subordinate to rock the oar and leave, and he dared to go ashore to check the identities of these people, for fear that if he accidentally offended the brother and brother of the prince and prime minister, he would not know how to die when the time came.

"Gone......"

Seeing that the other party fled in a hurry, Zhu Yifeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Gone, East, East, this, has this been over?"

"For the time being, it's over, and the next thing is that, that is, it's the officers and soldiers......"

Officers and soldiers!

On the fourth day of December, when the Taiping army conquered Wuchang, the reinforcements led by Xiang Rong still had tens of thousands of troops outside the city, among which Zhang Guoliang's department had extremely strong combat effectiveness. After the city of Wuchang was broken, the Taiping army was busy with the construction of political power in the city, recruiting people to join the army, and did not attack Xiangrong, so he had just been dismissed, and because of military emergency, there was a lack of commanders on the front line in Wuhan. Xiang Rong took on this important responsibility after receiving heavy blame repeatedly, so he was naturally grateful to the emperor.

The powerlessness of Hong Yang and the others gave Xiang Rong a chance to breathe, so that he could re-energize the morale of the army that had been lost due to the destruction of the city, build a position, cut off the Taiping army's food route, and seek an opportunity to challenge. Soon, because the soldiers of the Taiping army supervised the firearms carelessly, detonated the gunpowder, the camp fire, Xiang Rong took the opportunity to attack, at that time the cold wind was cold, the fire was fierce, Zhang Guoliang used fire pots, spray cans to help the fire, the Taiping army was defeated and retreated, many camps were destroyed, Qin Dingsan, Ma Long all the troops have made great gains, until Wei Changhui led the troops to help, and the Qing army retreated.

Hong Yang because of the ferocity of Xiang Rong, immediately sent the winged king Shi Dakai out of the city to station, in the Taiping army Shi Dakai is even more famous for the use of artillery, plus his department has two thousand foreign guns, after arriving outside the city, immediately outside the city to build an earthen wall, build a fort, and elsewhere ingenuity to place the cannon according to the angle of high and low cross shooting, in order to multi-angle three-dimensional artillery bombardment of the Qing army. On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Xiang Rong led his troops to attack in several ways, but he was first blocked by the earthen wall, and then intercepted by the fire net woven by artillery fire, and failed to move forward until his subordinate Zhang Guoliang bypassed Shi Dakai's fire net from behind, and condescendingly killed the Taiping army after a thousand people before turning the tide of the war. In the face of this danger, Shi Dakai immediately led his troops to rush out of the city and attack Zhang Guoliang's bravery, and the two armies fought in a snowstorm for half a day, and finally the two armies retreated separately.

It was precisely because of the fierce battle on the 27th of the lunar month that Hong Yang made up his mind to go down the river, seize Jiangning and then control the prosperous area in the south of the Yangtze River. And for Xiang Rong, after many tears outside Wuchang City, the tens of thousands of elite Qing troops led by him have been lost more than half, and the remaining soldiers are already exhausted and have no ability to attack again.

"Sure it's an empty city!"

Again, after getting the news of Zhang Guoliang, Xiang Rong asked impatiently.

"Are you sure the thieves have fled?"

Although Xiang Rong, who has been an official for half his life, is a military attache and is out of school as a teenager, he has also studied, and the reason why he uses the word "escape" is precisely to make this matter beneficial to himself.

As a subordinate Zhang Guoliang, how could he not know, he hurriedly said.

"Back to the adult's words, this Wuchang Hongyang two rebellions, must not dare to hug the adult's tiger might, just fled out of the city, and please take advantage of the fact that Hong Yang has not escaped out of the city, immediately order troops to Wuchang ......"

Shangguan can speak, and Xiaguan will naturally be able to speak, whether it is Xiang Rong or Zhang Guoliang, neither of them mentioned anything to "go against the tide of ten thousand ships" and leave Wuchang, as if Wuchang City is still based on "rebellion", the lower officials asked to send troops, and Shangguan naturally did not go against his will.

However, the next step made Zhang Guoliang extremely disappointed.

"Hechun, you immediately order all the troops and capture Wuchang, if you can't take Wuchang today, you come to see this official!"

When giving orders to Xiang Rong, he didn't even glance at Zhang Guoliang, in his opinion, this Zhang Guoliang was born as a bandit after all, even if he was recruited to surrender according to the name of Lao Chongguang, and he was very brave when attacking the bandits, but his person was still not credible, not to mention that this was entering the city, in case he caused any trouble in Wuchang, wouldn't he Xiang Rong fall into a charge of "the emperor is not strict", when the time comes, who can still keep himself?

However, Zhang Guoliang's disappointment did not last long, and then Xiang Rong ordered again.

"Qin Dingsan, you immediately ordered the soldiers and horses as the vanguard of our army and pursued along the river, and then the official immediately ordered the elite and followed you ......"

"My lord, our army has no ships for the time being, this place south of the Yangtze River is full of rivers, please ...... your lordship"

Qin Dingsan told the truth, from Yuezhou to Wuchang, almost all the ships were plundered along the way, and now he is pursuing like this, relying on two legs to pursue, how can he catch up with the rebellion.

"Just chase it......"

Surprisingly, Xiang Rong did not reprimand Qin Dingsan's rebuttal, but casually gave an order in a rather flat voice, as if this was not a big deal, and when he said this, he glanced at Zhao Cunlan, a staff member beside him, and saw that he nodded, before continuing to order.

"If you encounter a river, you should collect boats, thinking that you will cross the river, although the soldiers are noble and fast, but these days the brothers are really tired, so account for five, today everyone will rest for the night, and tomorrow we will set off early......
