At this time, tens of thousands of soldiers in this city are all nervously holding red tassel guns and waist knives, and the fire ropes such as bird guns have been taken away, the reason why this is so is that they are afraid of triggering the fire and exposing the traces of the army, which in turn leads to the army being unable to leave this lonely city safely.

"God bless, Guanyin blesses ......"

Almost every Xiang Yong is praying for the gods and Buddhas in the sky, as for whether the gods and Buddhas can bless them, it is not for them to know, everything now is just psychological comfort.

"Brothers, listen well, when you leave the city, if you and I say a word loudly, maybe our lives will be lost in this Yuezhou City!"

In fact, no one dared to speak loudly without the orders of the sentinels, and no one dared to speak loudly in order to survive, and the most important thing at this time was to save his life.

However, even if the big guy was careful, before leaving the city, there was still a military order, requiring the big guy to put a copper coin in his mouth so as not to speak. This is the "human title and horse hooves" in the history books.

After the hour, the gates of Yuezhou, which had been closed for several days, opened, and a team of Xiangyong quietly left the city under the cover of night.

Everything went smoothly beyond Zeng Guofan's imagination, not only tens of thousands of soldiers bravely went out of the city smoothly, but also were not intercepted by thieves along the way, in his opinion, this confirmed his previous speculation - the thieves under Yuezhou City had limited troops, and they were really suspicious soldiers.

But even if it is a suspicious soldier, this will Zeng Guofan will not bump into it by himself, now the most important thing is to get out of here quickly, after rushing dozens of miles in succession, in the town by the Xinqiang River, they have requisitioned hundreds of fishing boats and sampans, so Zeng Guofan and others sat on the boat, water and land together, and sailed southward, he was ready to reach the Miluo River first, and then from there went up the river, entered Jiangxi, and left Hunan.

At noon the next day, almost half of the soldiers were on board the boats, and the rest of the soldiers marched south along the lake. And the cavalry who was exploring the road in front turned back and reported: Pigs and cattle were being slaughtered in the town in front, and the table of eight immortals was full of a street. Under the great joy, Zeng Guofan immediately ordered to advance by land and water, and rested in the town at the mouth of the Miluo River.

At noon, the two branches of Xiangyong water and land gathered in this small town at the confluence of lakes and rivers. The gentry in the town had already been ordered by Zeng Guoquan to kill pigs and cattle to prepare meals, and the tables were all over the drying field in front of the town.

Just when they were eating and drinking, suddenly a burst of artillery came from the lake, the cannonballs landed accurately on the drying field, a grenade exploded in the crowd, for a time the entire drying field was completely shrouded in gunsmoke, cast iron fragments flew sideways in the gunsmoke, harvesting people's lives, those Xiangyong who had been eating meat before, this would not even dodge, just stood there and let the cannonballs fall on them.

The grenade exploded through the crowd, the solid bullet shattered several people and then bounced off the ground again, smashing people's limbs to pieces again, and heart-rending cries echoed in the sunyard and the nearby fields.

At this moment, in the field more than 100 zhang away, a blue line appeared, and the next moment, the blue line was shrouded in white smoke clouds, and those who were running around to avoid the shelling of Xiang Yong immediately heard the "whoosh, whoosh" sound in his ears, with a rain of bullets, more people fell, and the flying bullets continued to penetrate their bodies, breaking their arms and thighs.

For the Hunan army, which was still immersed in eating and drinking a few minutes ago, the sudden blow was fatal, and in the sound of gunfire, with the beating of drums, the soldiers of a regiment ambushed near the town lined up in a neat line and rushed towards the town, pressing down on the Hunan army struggling under artillery fire like an unstoppable flood.

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

Thousands of people were heard from the lake at the moment when the sound of cannons came, and such a thought appeared in Zeng Guofan's heart,

Looking at the mountains rushing all over the wilderness, Fang knew that he had single-handedly led the Hunan army to embark on a desperate road, and the thieves did not find them, but waited for them to run out of energy.

Those Xiang Yong, who had been on the road for five or six hours, were already tired and anxious, originally thought that they were only eating something here, but they were suddenly bombarded with artillery fire, and they immediately became confused, and they were all frightened and frightened.

And Wang Zhu and Li Xubin had to hold down the position and command Xiang Yong to meet the enemy, and Xiang Yong, who could use a big sword and a gun, could not stop the rebels using rifled guns at all, but they were immediately defeated with just a face-to-face effort. At this time, the heaven and earth were full of cannons, gunshots, drums and footsteps, like thunder and lightning, only to shock those Xiangyong as if they had fallen into a trap, and they did not know where to run, so they had to retreat to the river.

The angry and anxious Zeng Guofan had nothing to do. Seeing a group of Xiangyong holding their heads and running straight towards the river, he hurriedly drew his sword, left the boat and went ashore, and asked someone to plant a military flag on the riverside, and stood under the banner with his sword, puffed up his eyes and shouted:

"Those who have had this flag will not be forgiven!"

Defeated Yong was suppressed, standing by the river, not daring to move forward, and a few wanted to make up for it, but turned back hard. At this time, another wave of courage came to the riverside without a head, like a fallen leaf swept up by a strong wind. One of the little men from Xiangxiang was in a panic, just running for his life, and didn't see Zeng Guofan standing there, running over the flagpole in a daze. Zeng Guofan gritted his teeth with hatred and stabbed it with a sword. The little man screamed and rolled on the ground in pain, blood staining the river beach. Taking advantage of the moment when Zeng Guofan drew his sword, a group of brave escapees hurriedly bypassed the military flag, hurriedly rushed to the boat parked by the river, and did not wait for the general's order, then rocked the oars and drove the boat, and more Xiangyong took advantage of the chaos to take off their coats, throw away their swords and guns, and hide behind the grass and trees.

Although Zeng Guofan still stood under the military flag with his sword, it had no effect at all, and a team of troops bravely bypassed the military flag, jumped on the fishing boats and sampans that were plundered from the fishermen, and fled for his life in a hurry, at this time Li Xubin ran to Zeng Guofan and pleaded in a wail:

"Master Di, I really can't hold it here, you should hurry up and get on the boat, and this revenge will be avenged in the future."

Zeng Guofan looked at the thieves who were pressing like waves, and Xiang Yong, who was all messed up and rushed to escape for his life, and on that Dongting Lake, the sailors of the thieves had already arrived, not only did the soldiers on the boat shoot at Xiang Yong on the sampan fishing boat with foreign guns, but even directly sank those sampans with the strength of the boat.

The scene in front of him only made Zeng Guofan shake his head helplessly, but he was still reluctant to get on the boat. Li Xubin immediately pulled him onto the boat and immediately let people row.

At this time, a southeast wind blew on the Miluo River, and the boat went against the wind and upstream, and it was very difficult to walk. Li Xubin forced Yongding to get off the boat and go to the shore to pull the fiber, perhaps because there were many Yongding boats on the lake, and the thieves over there didn't take care of it at all. As for the brave men on the shore, most of them searched for their way in all directions, crossed mountains and mountains, and fled in all directions with their armor thrown off their armor. From the start of the battle to the collapse of the whole front, it was only a meal.

Zeng Guofan sat on the mop, listening to the faint sound of guns behind him, thinking of his embarrassed appearance of rushing for his life, he couldn't help but be annoyed and ashamed. Xiang Yong, who has trained hard for a year and hopes to build an immortal achievement, is so vulnerable. Zeng Guofan was extremely discouraged. The emperor's trust, the trust of King Gong and Master Su, and their ambitions will all come to naught. Those big words in "Asking for Cantonese Bandits" will forever become the laughing stock of future generations.

Thinking of this, Zeng Guofan was ashamed of himself. He closed his eyes, and Hu Linyi suddenly appeared in front of him, and the conversation between the two on the lakeside appeared again.

"Disheng, the destiny of heaven is in Han, please don't make mistakes!"

Mandate of Heaven!

Mandate of Heaven!

Zeng Guofan was so frightened that he opened his eyes, could this destiny really be in Han?

If you surrender to the Han army now, then ...... If he had been obedient at the beginning, how could he have the fiasco he has now? In an instant, the blood in his whole body froze, and the shame in his heart made his brain hot.

"No! I am a second-class member of the court, how can I be insulted by this, it is better to die cleanly. ”

Zeng Guofan's eyes drooped, his face turned pale, and he stared blankly at the turbulent Miluo River outside the cabin. Looking at the Miluo River, he thought of Qu Yuan, and in the future, he thought that he would be able to throw himself into this Miluo River like the sages!

"Time, life!"

Zeng Guofan sighed desperately in his heart, at this time, he was disheartened and had already accepted his fate.

Kang Fu entered the cabin, and saw Zeng Guofan sitting on a stool like a dead man, his eyes were already wooden, and he suddenly realized that the situation was not good, but he didn't say anything, but quietly withdrew, sat outside the cabin, and didn't leave a single step.

As the ship continued to move forward, Zeng Guofan saw that there was a whirlpool on the side of the cabin, he pushed open the hatch, closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and then jumped towards the whirlpool.

Kangfu, who heard the sound of water, saw the hatch wide open, and knew that the adult had thrown into the water, and he shouted "save the adult" while jumping into the whirlpool. The people on the boat were frightened and rushed to the side of the ship. Kangfu, who grew up by the lake, had good water qualities, and soon pushed Zeng Guofan out of the water, and the people on the boat caught him and carried him into the cabin.

Kang Fu put his hand on Zeng Guofan's nostrils, and felt a trace of qi coming in and out, so he was relieved. Everyone changed his clothes. It took a long time for Zeng Guofan to open his eyes and see Kang Fu standing next to him wet, knowing that he had gone into the water to save himself. He glared at Kangfu and said coldly:

"Do you want the old man to live in the world and let the thief be humiliated?"

Although Zeng Guofan's face was full of anger, Kang Fu still said to him calmly:

"My lord, you can rest assured! Let's talk about everything after we get to Jiangxi. ”

Zeng Guofan, who was tired and angry, and after some life and death, was unable to speak anymore at this time, and lay flat on the bed, letting the boat drag him across the river and escape...... (To be continued.) )
