"Nine Handsome ......"

Bao Chao smiled bitterly, "Now we Tianjing will definitely not be able to go back, our only way out is to go to Hefei, here is exactly a three-way intersection, to the east to Tongling, Tianjing, to the north is Hefei, to the west is Anqing, Anqing must not go, that is the sheep into the wolf's den, the Yangtze River in the south, we can't fly over, only to the north to Hefei a road......"

Zeng Guoquan's heart was shocked and he went to Hefei......

Hefei is almost four or five hundred miles away from Wusong Mountain......

However, now that the Hunan army has been surrounded under this Wusong Mountain, where else can it go except to Hefei? What an unfortunate place!

"Good!"

Zeng Guoquan gritted his teeth and shouted: "Immediately order the whole army, go all out to break through to the north, once you break through, go straight to Hefei, after arriving in Hefei, let's regroup, Lao Tzu and Shi Dakai are not finished!" ”

Once the goal is determined, the next thing is much simpler, tens of thousands of Hunan troops with cavalry as arrows, launched a fierce attack to the north, constantly impacting the encirclement of the Taiping army!

The Taiping army is almost all infantry, compared to the impact power, compared to the cavalry, but it is not the same!

After all, the encirclement of the Taiping army still made the Hunan army tear a big hole, and a large number of cavalry covered the Hunan army behind to break through and flee to the north with all their might!

Behind, the Taiping army launched a pursuit towards the Hunan army like a whirlwind and clouds!

Zhang Suimou on the side said urgently: "Yiwang, the current Hunan army has fled north, are we ......?"

Shi Dakai said lightly: "Escape? Then let them escape, the current Zeng Guoquan is already a lost dog, there are only more than 10,000 people left in the 40,000 troops, and he has completely lost the threat, and his army must have fled to Hefei. More than 10,000 people, when they arrive in Hefei and defend desperately, we may not be able to easily capture it, and there is no need to take that risk again......"

Zhang Suimou was unwilling to say: "Wing King, are we just letting Zeng Tie Bucket and King Bao Yan go?" The subordinates are really a little unwilling! ”

Shi Dakai said: "Okay. If you let it go, let's let it go, why should we kill it quickly, and now we have more important things to do! ”

More important things?

Zhang Suimou was stunned for a moment, and looked at Shi Dakai in confusion.

Shi Dakai said in a deep voice: "Zhang Suimou! ”

"In!"

Zhang Suimou's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly replied.

"Ordered you to lead eight thousand elites, carry artillery battalions, rush to the east, and directly attack Tongling, and now Zeng Guoquan's main force has been defeated by us. The entire southern Anhui is no longer powerful, it is the time for us to expand the base area, give you six days, be sure to take Tongling Mansion! ”

Shi Dakai said categorically.

Zhang Suimou's eyes lit up, the Wing King was really tall, and when the Hunan army was the weakest, he directly grabbed Tongling Mansion, plus Jiujiang, Anqing and Chizhou. It's four prefectures!

"Huh!"

Zhang Suimou agreed, turned around and ran down to start mobilizing the army.

"Wang Haiyang. Immediately give the herald and order Ji Qingyuan to lead 8,000 troops from Anqing, carry the artillery battalion, and go straight down the Yangtze River to Wuhu, and I will give him six days. I have to take Wuhu down for me! ”

Shi Dakai then conveyed another order.

The surrounding generals were all excited, yes, now due to the defeat of Zeng Guoquan, the entire Hunan army in southern Anhui can not be seen, and only the local green battalion is left. These green battalions don't even know how to put muskets, and when they encounter a battle, they will only run away, how can they resist the attack of the Taiping army?

Looking at this posture, Yiwang Chitose is thinking that from Jiujiang to Wuhu, these ports on the Yangtze River have all been captured, and the important towns on the Yangtze River have been captured, and then the army will go south, quickly sweeping the Anhui region south of the Yangtze River, and the entire southern Anhui will completely fall into the hands of the Taiping Army.

Yes, these generals guessed a little bit, if they attack Hefei with all their might, although the Hefei city wall is tall and impregnable, the 40,000 Taiping army is not impossible to attack, but, after the capture, it is still necessary to face the full encirclement and suppression of the Qing demons, on land, the Taiping army lacks cavalry, under the siege of the Qing army, it is difficult to hold Hefei, it is certain to lose one or the other.

However, if you only occupy the Yangtze River along the Yangtze River, as well as the southern Anhui area, the pressure will be much less, with the support of the golden waterway of the Yangtze River, with Jiujiang Anqing as the base camp, and then expand the power to the east, this is the most appropriate!

"Order, Fu Zhongxin led five thousand elites to rush in the direction of Huizhou, and in the shortest possible time, take Huizhou for me!"

Shi Dakai once again conveyed the last order, once Wuhu and Huizhou fell into the hands of the Taiping army, it means that the vast area from Wuhu in the east, Jiujiang in the west, Huizhou in the south, and Anqing in the north will be completely connected to the city.

"The rest of the generals will reorganize their troops and return to Anqing immediately with this king, hehe, this king will wait in Anqing for the rest of the Taiping army from all over the country to come and meet!"

Shi Dakai stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked to the side.

But it is said that Zeng Guoquan and Bao Chao led the remnants of the defeated generals, and ran from the vicinity of Wusong Mountain to the city of Lujiang in one breath, and fled fifty or sixty miles away, and the defeated army gradually stopped the pace of defeat, this battle was lost too badly, and in less than four days, it was defeated by the Taiping army in one fell swoop in a small Wusong Mountain!

The main force of the Hunan army of more than 40,000 people, under the blow of the 30,000 Taiping Army, killed more than 15,000 people, and seriously injured more than 6,700 people.

The entire Hunan army, Zeng Guoquan and Bao Chao, is only more than 13,000 people now, a rare defeat, an absolutely rare defeat!

Lujiang City is just a slightly large-scale county seat, and it is absolutely impossible to accommodate tens of thousands of Taiping troops, and now it is only necessary to continue to advance north and rush to Hefei.

Zeng Guoquan sighed and said: "Chunting, order the army to temporarily rest outside Lujiang City for half a day, and then enter Lujiang City and immediately borrow food, the army has been fighting to the death for days, and it is already exhausted to the extreme, and it still needs to rest." ”

Bao Chao nodded, Zeng Guoquan said well, continue to run like this, the Hunan army has no military food, I am afraid that it will not be long, there will be a large number of people fleeing, the people take food as God, no one will sell their lives if they don't eat!

"Also, immediately send people to report to my brother, asking my brother to mobilize other forces of the Hunan army to encircle and suppress Shi Dakai as soon as possible, if Shi Dakai is not removed, it will become a trouble!" (To be continued.) )
