Soon after the arrival of Hubei reinforcements, reinforcements from Guizhou and Guangxi stepped into Hunan one after another. Hong Tiangui still divided his troops to block the attack, made a posture of blocking reinforcements, and seized all the time to eliminate the Hunan army in Changsha.

From time to time, the Wehrmacht attacked with all their might, and at each time fierce battles were staged at the gaps in the walls.

Of course, there will be no shortage of propaganda to cooperate with the operation, and the means in Pingjiang City are only a pediatric for the Wehrmacht, and they even sent back some wounded soldiers of the Hunan Army in order to expand their influence.

Every day, various channels were used to send leaflets of the Wehrmacht to Changsha, but Zeng Guofan tried all kinds of methods but could not completely ban them, so he could only strengthen his vigilance and patrols, and once he found signs of hiding leaflets and collaborating with the enemy, he would severely punish them. In the past few days of the siege of the Taiping army, Zeng Guofan opened a killing ring in Changsha City, and no less than 3,000 people died under the butcher's knife of his own people, including Hunan soldiers, ordinary people, rich squires, and all walks of life. Under this bloody suppression, Changsha City temporarily stabilized, but the people of Changsha, who originally supported the Hunan army to defend their home and country, looked at the Hunan army with indifference and hatred.

The ugliness of human nature is undoubtedly leaked at this moment, when there is a conflict between the righteousness of the country and the life of an individual, the vast majority of people will not hesitate to choose their own lives, and the purpose of Hong Tiangui's propaganda war is to infinitely amplify this selfish human nature, so that the monolithic enemy will disintegrate from within. In particular, this kind of sabotage, combined with the relatively fierce siege operations of the Wehrmacht and the brilliant victory in the early stage, made the effect much better than Hong Tiangui expected.

The main force of the national defense army is trying its best every day to throw surrender leaflets and all kinds of rumors that are unfavorable to the Hunan army, especially the fact that Zeng Guofan left hundreds of thousands of Hunan army children to flee on the bank of the Ganjiang River and left the general Hu Linyi in Pingjiang City to lead his descendants to flee for his life in Changsha City, and the reputation of Zeng Dashuai, who was originally wise and martial, was completely stinted. The common people of the Hunan army have changed from being suspicious at the beginning to being convinced at the end, and their attitude towards the Hunan army has become even more indifferent.

Zeng Guofan didn't think about refuting the rumors, but the 30,000 Hunan troops in Pingjiang City surrendered, and their influence in Hunan was extremely wide, not to mention that the three of them became tigers, and under the spread of the news, the news was countless times worse than the original, and in their mouths, Zeng Dashuai, who was originally a Buddha of 10,000 people, became a sinister villain who achieved his official position with the blood of the people of Hunan Province.

This made Zeng Guofan furious, and he came forward to explain several times, but it was difficult to cure the message, and even because of his actions, it would cause new unbearable rumors. Although everyone understands that rumors stop at the wise, for ordinary people, the wise are too far away, they only care about their own family and friends, and only care about their own interests.

This situation lasted for seven days, and the entire Hunan region became a large battlefield, and the 200,000 troops of the Taiping army were scattered in all directions, blocking wave after wave of Manchu reinforcements, and at the same time, the siege of Changsha City also entered a new stage.

Seeing that the situation was almost over, Hong Tiangui finally decided to kill him. He used the newly formed First Army to replace the main force of the Wehrmacht, and then the main force of the Wehrmacht took advantage of the night to march north, and after a night of rapid march, he rushed to the northern battlefield, and under the guidance of Ye Tianlong's organization, launched a full-scale attack at the moment when the sky was about to dawn.

The Manchu reinforcements in the north were mainly 15,000 people of the Hubei New Army, which was formed in less than half a year. Unfortunately, after the formation of this army, it did not experience actual combat, because their enemy Yiwang had already led his troops west into Sichuan, and at that time, Zeng Guofan of Hunan had already led his army to Anqing, and his new army in Hubei had lost its usefulness.

In addition to the new army of the governor of Hubei, Guanwen, there are also the Eight Banners Green Battalion from various prefectures and cities in Hubei, with a total number of forty or fifty thousand, many of whom are descendants of the Manchus, but more are after the Eight Banners of the Han people. More than 200 years after the founding of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Green Camp has long been decayed, but the number of people has not decreased, but has increased a lot, under the corrupt rule of the Manchu Dynasty, many Han people have tried their best to join the Eight Banners of the Han people, hoping to change their fate by relying on the change of identity, and entering the Green Camp is undoubtedly a shortcut choice.

It can be said that all the green battalions in Hubei have been assembled here, but their combat effectiveness is really weak.

The Wehrmacht wiped out the camp of the vanguard of the New Army with a single charge, and then used this as a breakthrough to quickly collapse the New Army and capture alive the governor of Hubei, Guan Wen. Under the blow of the Wehrmacht artillery fire, those green battalions collapsed more quickly, the battlefield was chaotic, and the attacking Wehrmacht was a little dumbfounded, looking at the black pressure on a group of green battalion soldiers who knelt on the ground and surrendered, the Wehrmacht soldiers were really speechless about the combat effectiveness and fighting will of the green battalion.

Compared with the Hunan army, these green battalions are simply scum!

This battle started very suddenly, and ended extremely quickly, the new army was arrested because of the governor's official documents, the generals of the green battalion also surrendered one after another, and the Wehrmacht solved tens of thousands of Qing reinforcements with almost no injuries.

I knew that the Hubei New Army and the Hubei Green Camp Army were both paper tigers, so where could I use the National Defense Army to spend so much effort to go north in person. With his new Sixth Army, it can be done. Now his unit has become the logistics support team of the Wehrmacht, responsible for guarding a super prisoner camp of nearly 60,000 people.

The Wehrmacht marched westward, and their next target was the Hunan Army's Zeng Guoquan Division, which was dragged to death in the northwest of Hunan by the Wing King Shi Dakai.

The action of the national defense force is not unpleasant, but the movement to eliminate the new army in Hubei is a bit big, and the battle of tens of thousands of people, and when the sky is not completely bright, it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net, and some of them will go to Zeng Guoquan, which also makes Zeng Guoquan get the news that the Hubei reinforcements have been wiped out.

Zeng Guoquan was shocked, and from the mouths of the Hubei officials who fled, he preliminarily judged that the main force of the National Defense Force should be the one who attacked the Hubei reinforcements. At this time, the siege of Changsha City is probably a fake Wehrmacht.

Zeng Guoquan immediately sent scouts to deliver news to Changsha City at all costs, hoping that Zeng Guofan could seize the fighter plane and go out of the city to fight, so as to break through from Changsha City.

As for Zeng Guoquan himself, he would not be stupid enough to wait for the Wing King to merge with the powerful Wehrmacht.

On the one hand, he ordered the army to launch a crazy battle against the winged king Shi Dakai, and put on a move to rush to the aid of Changsha at all costs, and on the other hand, he also ordered people to go north to contact the Hunan army's naval division, trying to cross the river north with the help of the water division.
