Guangdong is too far away, how did the Manchurian general Hahamu die, and how did Prince Jian Jidu die, most of these Qing troops in Hechi City did not know, so they only regarded the Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers, who had won almost every battle since entering the customs, as a savior and dependence, shouting excitedly and jumping with joy, it seemed that as soon as the Manchurian soldiers arrived, the Taiping Kou would be wiped out. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and knew that the Taiping Army had wiped out the Manchurian soldiers twice, and saw that the soldiers were greatly boosted by the arrival of the Manchurian soldiers, and they were naturally happy to see it, how could they tell them the truth.

At first, the Taiping army outside the city only heard the Qing army shouting and shouting in the city, but what they heard was not very clear, but later they understood it -- the Qing army in the city seemed to have deliberately let the Taiping army hear, and hundreds or thousands of people shouted at the same time that the Manchurian iron cavalry had arrived, which was quite a bit of a loud momentum.

In the Taiping Army, a hundred households who were originally born in the green battalion heard the shouts of the Qing army, but they sneered, and said to the soldiers around them with disdain in their tone: "What Manchurian iron cavalry, Lao Tzu has also cut real Tartars under the knife." ”

This said, some soldiers who had participated in the Chaohui War suddenly became excited, some said that they had cut down Manchurian soldiers, and some said that they had beheaded Mongolian soldiers. In their descriptions, whether it is the Manchurian True Tartar, the Mongolian Second Tartar, or the lackeys of the Han army, they all have a fucking head and two arms, and it is also black and not slippery when they step over that thing, and they do not see three heads and six arms, and they are as big as snakes. The knife slashed up, and the "poof" sound was fixed into the meat, and the scream was like killing a pig, and he didn't look like a hero. If you want to say that there is a difference, that is, the mouth of the Manchurian real Tartar is worse than that of our Han people, the yellow is terrible, and the mouth is a stench, which makes people smell sick.

As soon as the veterans said this, the recruits who were still a little scared and nervous when they heard that Manchurian Zhentar was coming, immediately relaxed. The same scene was played out everywhere in the A and C Brigades, where the officers used various methods to cheer up the recruits under their subordinates who had not fought the Manchurian soldiers, and at the same time sent urgent reports to the corps headquarters.

Li Guoan, the brigade school of the A brigade, saw that there were many reinforcements from the Qing army, so he discussed with Song Zhong, the new brigade school of the C brigade and a descendant of Yu Shizhong, who was also a descendant of the Qi family's army, and retreated three miles from the city to join forces, and waited for the main force of the army to arrive.

Song Zhong is a very stout person, and the beard on his face can be called the first person in the whole army, and his father and brother both died in the Hunhe River. Song Zhong himself has a hereditary position, but he is the hereditary commander of Haizhou, but he has not been to Haizhou since he can remember. The name Song Zhong is not good, colleagues in the army make fun of him all the time, and Song Zhong is very unlucky to send him to the end.

However, for his unlucky name, Song Zhong likes it very much, because he is sent to the end, not to be sent to the end. Li Guoan proposed to withdraw from the Qing army reinforcements one after another, and Song Zhong agreed, because he had no bottom in his heart, and the beard on his face was not fake, but it did not mean that he was a rough man who was unscrupulous, knowing that the Qing army had many soldiers and horses, and there were thousands of cavalry, and his own side only had two brigades and less than 5,000 horses, and it was really difficult to say whether he would win or lose the battle. Moreover, after chasing nearly 100 miles south, the soldiers were also exhausted and needed to rest, otherwise their energy and physical strength would not be able to keep up.

After the Taiping army retreated, more than 4,000 Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry led by Luo Tuo personally rushed to the city of Hechi, and they rushed all the way, and the smoke and dust rolled up looked like a black dragon from afar, and the momentum was not immense.

Luo Tuo had already been sent by Arzin to spread the word, knowing that there were Taiping troops under Hechi City, and originally wanted to lead his troops to rush the other side across with a force, but seeing thousands of Taiping troops waiting for several miles outside the city, and there was no gap between the battle formations, Luo Tuo immediately dispelled the idea of charging the formation. This will not only be the Taiping army, but also the Qing army. In order to arrive as soon as possible, the Roto troops accelerated their march for three days in a row, and the men and horses were all at the limit. If there is a hole drill, it can be successful with one blow, and the Qing army can also cheer up and rush with spirit, but the opponent's formation is tight, and it is impossible to succeed with one blow, and it is naturally impossible for Luo Tuo to force the tired soldiers to rush into battle.

Like the commander of the Qing army, King Doni of Xinjun, Luo Tuo is also a young clan, he is a third-class general of the town state, Gushan Ezhen, but unlike Doni who has never been through the battle formation, Luo Tuo has fought a few battles, and after some weighing, Luo Tuo ordered the whole army to enter the city.

After Luo Tuo entered the city, Arzin, Line Guoan and other generals hurriedly came to see him. After the generals gave a military salute, Luo Tuo was impatient and asked Xian Guoan: "How did you do it, why did Qingyuan lose it in just a few days?" ”

Luo Tuo's questioning made Xian Guoan's face blush slightly, and he stubbornly told the story of the Taiping army's gunpowder collapsing the Qingyuan city wall. After listening, Luo Tuo was speechless, and then asked left and right if he knew how the gunpowder broke the wall. I don't know if I know left and right, Luo Tuo couldn't help but be surprised, and ordered someone to write down this method and send it to Yunnan, no one on their side knew this method of breaking the city, and the staff under the general's account joined the army a lot, and someone always knew it. If you can learn this method, you will have one more way to defeat the enemy in the future, and you can also take more precautions against the enemy's means of breaking the city.

Luo Tuo asked Xian Guoan how many Taiping troops were attacking Qingyuan, and Xian Guoan wanted to exaggerate the number of Taiping troops, but he thought that the Taiping army was in front of him, and he couldn't hide it, so he told the truth that the Taiping army attacking Qingyuan was estimated to be only more than 10,000 people.

"More than ten thousand?"

Luo Tuo was stunned for a moment, if he remembered correctly, when he asked for help, he said that he still had less than 20,000 horses under his command, which means that Line Guoan was defeated by the Taiping Kou, who only had more than 10,000 horses, even if the Taiping Kou had gunpowder to break the wall, this battle was too bad, or the line Guoan was too incompetent.

Xian Guoan couldn't defend himself, so he had to keep his head shut and keep silent. A group of Han army generals and several generals of the Dingnan Domain did not dare to speak out in front of Luo Tuo, the Manchurian clan, and Arzin was not good because of the previous two defeats, and it was not good to say that the line of national security was not in front of Luo Tuo. Otherwise, when Roto asked, his face would be gloomy.

A report came from the city that the infantry brigade had arrived. Luo Tuo hurriedly asked the line Guoan to bring people to pick up Li Benshen and Daniel Zhang. After more than 9,000 green battalion soldiers entered the city, Hechi City, which was already small, suddenly became a little crowded. This crowding is not that the city cannot accommodate so many people, but that many places have been set on fire by the rout, so that there are not so many houses for the Qing soldiers to live in.

Hechi City originally had a Tongzhi appointed by the Qing army, but after the Taiping army called, the Tongzhi ran away with the seal. The Guangxi governor of the Taiping Army, the Yamen, appointed a new Hechi Prefecture official, but after the Qing army came, the governor also ran away with the wooden seal, so there are no officials in the city now, and even those officials have run away. Most of the people in the city also fled to the countryside for refuge, so the Qing army has not found much food in the city until now.

If it weren't for Chen Weixin, the governor of Guangxi, who had retreated to Duyun, who had raised a batch of military rations and sent them, Luo Tuo would have been afraid that he would still not be able to come in Guizhou. However, the batch of military rations provided by Chen Weixin can only support the Luo Tuo Department for five or six days, and there must be no hope on the side of Line Guoan, almost all the baggage was discarded when the troops were withdrawn from Liuzhou, and there was not much military rations themselves, which would be brought over by the Taiping Army all the way from Qingyuan, how could they still carry military rations.

After Li Benshen and Daniel Zhang, Liu Fangming, Gao Di, Bai Guangen and other Han generals entered the city, Luo Tuo called a meeting of the generals to discuss.

Li Benshen turned out to be the nephew of the Ming general Gao Jie, and like Li Chengdong, he was a general under Gao Jie. After Gao Jie's death, Li Benshen took Gao Jie's position as the commander, and later demoted the prince of Qing Yu with Li Chengdong. After Li Chengdong went south to capture Guangdong, his conscience found that he had returned to the Ming Dynasty again, but Li Benshen had been working for the Qing court. In the eighth year of Shunzhi, after Hong Chengchuan became the governor of the five provinces, Li Benshen was sent to the account to serve as the governor of the left standard, and Daniel Zhang, the general soldier of Gansu, was transferred to serve as the commander of the right standard.

After the Battle of Mopanshan, Hong Chengqi suggested to Doni that Li Benshen should be appointed governor of Guizhou and Daniel Zhang should be appointed governor of Yunnan, but due to the great changes in the northern front, these two appointments were temporarily shelved. This time, Hong Chengchou asked the two of them to go north with Luo Tuo, also because he wanted them to make war achievements, so that they could justifiably serve as the governors of Guizhou and Yunnan.

Liu Fangming was originally the general soldier of Liugou in the Ming Dynasty, and was transferred to the general army of Ningxia after the Qing Dynasty in the second year of Shunzhi. In the fourteenth year of Shunzhi, he was transferred to Jiangning, and then entered the southwest with Zhao Butai, the general of Zhengnan. After Zhao Butai was dismissed from his post due to the Battle of Mopan Mountain, Liu Fangming was transferred by Hong Chengchou to the account of Li Benshen, the commander of Zuobiao, and this time went north with Luo Tuo.

Bai Guangen was originally a Ming general, but he made some military exploits during the Battle of Songshan, and later returned to Shaanxi to follow Sun Chuanting to deal with thieves, Tongguan City was broken, defeated in Guyuan, and was besieged and surrendered by Li Zicheng's army, and Li Zicheng was reused. After Li Zicheng's death, he threw himself into the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing court did not use it seriously, but only transferred it to the Han Army Zhenghuang to post as an idle official, until Hong Chengchou served as the governor of the five provinces, he was only used under Hong Chengchou. However, it has not been of great use, this time Bai Guangen invited himself to go north, and his intention was also to get some military merits.

Gao Di is the former Mingshan Customs General Soldier, and Wu Sangui is the Liaodong Regiment Training General Soldier, Gao Di has more than 10,000 Ning soldiers, 30,000 Xiangyong, and Wu Sangui has 40,000 Liao soldiers. Wu Sangui first voted for Li Zicheng and then regretted surrendering to the Qing, but Gao Di was unwilling to surrender to the Qing, and Wu Sangui fought two battles with Wu Sangui at the West Shihe of Shanhaiguan and the nine gates of Funing County, both of which were defeated by Wu Sangui's army, so he could only lead the army to retreat. After Wu Sangui released the Qing army into the customs, Gao Di had no way to go so he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and still ordered the Shanhaiguan General Army, and then returned to the General Army for Henan, and Gao Di asked for leave in the Shunzhi Ten Years, because of the repeated wars in the south, the Qing court did not allow it, so that he could serve under the account of Hong Chengchou. Since entering the southwest, Gao Di has never led the army, first, he is old, and secondly, after coming to Guizhou, his health has not been very good, and it is difficult to get on the horse to kill the enemy. Like Bai Guangen, this time Gao Di also invited himself to go north, but he wanted to ask for a leave of absence after the war, and he had no intention of staying in Yungui for a long time.

After the generals arrived, Luo Tuo asked the line Guoan to briefly talk about the situation of the war in Guangxi, and then asked Arzin to say that the military rations could only last for three or five days, and then asked the generals to make a decision, and the result of the resolution was naturally a quick battle.

Although Luo Tuo has the highest status in the Qing army, and he is an authentic Manchu noble, but in this urgent need for the assistance of the Han army, he will not give those green camp generals any face, but said to the green camp generals with kind words: "The king of Pingxi in the southwest has driven Zhu Youlang to Burma, and the general is determined to let the king of Pingxi enter Burma to capture and kill Zhu Youlang, and as soon as Zhu Youlang dies, the situation in Yunnan can be stabilized." However, now the Ming army of Guangdong suddenly marched westward to occupy Guangxi and Hunan, and the king of Pingjun could not advance an inch for days, so they all pointed to Guangxi. In this battle, in order to completely annihilate Guangxi Taiping Kou and recapture Guangxi, the situation in the southwest will be fully lived, so I hope that the generals will use their lives and win in one fell swoop! ”

"The general just orders is to serve the imperial court, and we are not people who cower!"

Line Guoan, Li Benshen, Daniel Zhang, Bai Guangen and other Han generals will be busy answering the road.

Luo Tuo nodded, he still has a little understanding of Li Benshen and Daniel Zhang, especially that Daniel Zhang is a rare general, and his Shaanxi and Gansu battalions are even more elite, if all the generals are willing to take the lead, this battle will have a full chance of victory.

Bai Guangen suddenly said: "Since Zhu Youlang has abandoned the country and fled to Burma, then Zhu Ming is considered to be no orthodox, and he thinks that he might as well tell this news to the Taiping generals who are leading the army opposite, if the other party knows that their emperor has abandoned the country, I am afraid that he will be shaken." ”

"This is a great good!"

Luo Tuo was overjoyed when he heard this, how could he forget this stubble, that is, he could not let the Taiping army on the opposite side surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but it could also shake their military morale. At that moment, he sent someone to spread the news of Yongli's abandonment to the other side, and he didn't want the generals of the Taiping army on the other side to hear the news, but they were not surprised, and they opposed the Qing army and said calmly: "We know that the emperor has run away."
