At the same time, Zeng Guofan's Tanma crossed the defense line of the Taiping Army and entered Changsha City, bringing the bad news that the Hubei reinforcements were all wiped out, and Zeng Guoquan led the main force to cross the Yangtze River north.

For a time, the leadership of the Hunan army was completely shocked.

"Bastard, we haven't lost yet, how dare he...... How dare you ......" Zeng Guofan was depressed and wanted to vomit blood. If Zeng Guoquan was in front of him, he would definitely push it out and behead it with absolute ruthlessness.

"My lord, what shall we do? The Hubei reinforcements were all wiped out, the 50,000 main forces of our army also left Hunan, and the reinforcements from all other parties were sniped by the Taiping army, and Changsha City has completely become an isolated city. The general of the Hunan army said in a deep voice. The situation is developing too fast, and as long as Changsha is held on and waiting for reinforcements, there is great hope that the situation of the war will be reversed. But now Zeng Guoquan, who is relying on hope, led the army to Hubei on his back and completely gave up the rescue. What's more, everyone can see in the offensive and defensive battles in the past few days that the national defense army is only relying on its firepower superiority to constantly put pressure on Changsha City, and at the same time instigating the people of Changsha City to oppose the Hunan army and oppose the former national domain. All of this was like a thousand catties of pressure that made Zeng Guofan breathless, and constantly forced him to consider it in the direction of evacuating Changsha.

"My lord, the long-haired Wehrmacht is heading north, and it should be the main force in disguise besieging us, this is our opportunity, I suggest going out of the city and fighting the enemy, not sitting still in the city."

Zeng Guofan hesitated again, unlike before, he had Hunan as a foundation before, retreating can be called a strategic transfer, and he can also try to make a comeback, but now he has lost everything, leaving Hunan, his Hunan army will become a rootless Ping, and I don't know if it is possible to fight back.

"My lord! Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood! ”

Zeng Guofan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "The whole army is ready to fight, whether to evacuate or not, wait for the Taiping army to defeat the besieging city!" ”

The generals of the Hunan army were overjoyed, they understood that Zeng Guofan was already moved, but they were still a little reluctant.

The Hunan army moved extremely quickly, and the main force of the Hunan army was exhausted to deal with the Taiping army. Although Zeng Guoquan swore in the news that it was the main force of the National Defense Force that went north, Zeng Guofan still did not dare to underestimate it. After all, they did not know the deployment of the Taiping army, and they did not know whether it was the enemy's plan to lure the enemy.

The Hunan army moved extremely quickly, and the 60,000-strong army left the city from two directions and launched an attack on the Taiping army besieging them.

The Wehrmacht artillery opened fire and suppressed the Hunan army. The main forces of the two brigades left by the Wehrmacht were at the forefront and engaged in an all-out confrontation with the Hunan army.

The Hunan army's attack was thwarted, but soon, the Hunan army discovered the hole in the Wehrmacht. Although the two brigades of the Wehrmacht numbered more than 7,000 men, they were bound to be overwhelmed in the face of tens of thousands of enemies. What's more, the main artillery of the Wehrmacht was withdrawn, and the remaining artillery was simply unable to suppress the simultaneous attack of tens of thousands of Hunan troops.

In the face of the sudden attack of the Hunan army, Hong Tiangui decisively gave the order to retreat. The Wehrmacht's 100,000 new troops retreated 30 miles without firing a single shot.

The two brigades of the National Defense Army desperately blocked the Hunan army, buying time for the retreat of the 100,000-strong army led by Hong Tiangui.

On the other hand, seeing the main force of the Taiping Army retreating, Zeng Guofan was overjoyed, and immediately urged the Hunan Army to break through the defense line of the two brigades of the National Defense Army at all costs, and he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the National Defense Army to go north to break the 100,000 army in front of him. As long as he can succeed, although he can't turn the tide of the battle, it will greatly deal a blow to the offensive momentum of the Taiping army, and it will also be a big victory in a big defeat for him, and he can also rely on it to get out in the future.

The two brigades of the National Defense Army supported at most 20,000 Hunan troops, but they could not stop the 60,000 or 70,000 Hunan troops, and tens of thousands of Hunan troops crossed the defensive positions of the two brigades of the National Defense Army and rushed towards the 100,000 new army led by Hong Tiangui.

Their movements were fast, and in order to catch up with Hong Tiangui's main force as soon as possible, they gradually dispersed from the Hunan army, which was entangled with the two brigades of the Wehrmacht.

The Hunan army advanced twenty miles, and saw some Taiping soldiers fleeing in embarrassment in front, which made their fatigue from pursuing twenty miles disappear in an instant, and under the encouragement of the officers, the soldiers rushed forward with a roar.

The Taiping army was obviously frightened, they threw away their burdens, even shotguns and guns, and some baggage trucks transporting grain and grass were even stopped on the road in an attempt to stop the pursuit of the Hunan army.

The movement of the Hunan army was indeed blocked, but it did not last long. The fast-moving Hunan army was already about to bite them.

At this moment, the Taiping army no longer fled, they turned around, brandished a big sword and long hair, and fought with the Hunan army.

The Hunan army was taken aback, but seeing that the other party was only about a thousand people, they didn't pay attention to it at all, and a large number of Hunan troops gathered over and forced this Taiping army into a valley.

At the same time, the Hunan army divided its forces and tried to find the main force of the Taiping army.

At this moment, a dull roar sounded on the top of the mountain on both sides, and the figures of the Taiping army appeared on the originally empty mountaintop. There were not many of them, no more than a few thousand, but they were in groups of several people, and behind them were the mouths of oil drums as thick as two people.

The Taiping Army's self-produced sharp weapon - flying thunder cannon!

Boom Boom!

A large number of explosive packets were thrown down from the top of the hill and exploded in the crowd of Hunan troops. The huge explosive force of the explosive package and the large number of iron nails and iron pieces doped inside, the lethality formed was extremely terrifying, and no one could survive the explosion point of each explosive package within a radius of 30 meters.

The violent explosion aroused the fear in the hearts of the Hunan troops, and they ran back in wailing, not even caring about the wounded robes that fell to the ground and wailed.

Soon, shouts of killing sounded in all directions, and the main force of the Taiping Army came back, and the banners of the Taiping Army were all over the mountains.

The Hunan army was completely frightened, and only hated his father and mother for having two legs, crying for his father and mother's escape.

Wherever the banner of the Taiping Army went, the Hunan Army saw the banner collapse.

The defeat was like a mountain, Zeng Guofan's eyes were dark, and the whole person was planted from the war horse, but fortunately, although the soldiers around him were shocked, they had not forgotten their duties, and before Zeng Guofan fell to the ground, he grabbed his arm so that he did not fall to the feet of the war horse. But Zeng Guo's official hat fell to the ground and was trampled by the war horse.

Zeng Guofan's eyes were blank, and the whole person seemed to be drained of energy.

"Withdraw!" The generals of the Hunan army shouted, and the fools knew that if they didn't run, they might be wiped out again.

The Hunan army fled and headed all the way to Changsha City.

The rout army soon rushed into the Hunan army that was entangled with the two brigades of the Wehrmacht, and even the Hunan army with this army was unstable, and the Hunan army generals who commanded the troops had to immediately order the withdrawal of the army. And by their relatively stable army.
