In Henan Province, the Taiping army was mainly concentrated in the southern area, the Twist army was mainly concentrated in the north, and as for the central part, it was the area where the two forces were jointly responsible.

The Taiping army, which was jointly ordered by Zhang Zongyu and Lai Wenguang, and a small number of twisted troops were quickly assembled, and the capitals of Xinyang, Nanyang, Runing, and Chenzhou gathered a total of nearly 30,000 troops, and began to march rapidly along the official road towards the direction of Kaifeng provincial capital.

The general of the Taiping Army in charge of various places in southern Henan is Liu Yukun, Marquis of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and this can be regarded as a member of the Taiping Army.

In order to be able to rush to Kaifeng as soon as possible, Liu Yukun ordered all the garrisons of the state capitals to march north, meet in Huaiyang, south of Kaifeng, and then gallop together to aid Kaifeng, and the army marched day and night towards Kaifeng Mansion.

More than half a month, the various departments have rushed to Huaiyang, and then less than two hundred miles to the north, it will arrive at Kaifeng Mansion, however, the current Taiping army and the twist army are also tired and almost unable to walk, half a month to march more than 800 miles, an average of 60 miles a day, even the iron man is tired.

In particular, the Taiping army in Nanyang is the farthest away, and this way has been nearly a thousand miles away, Duan Dehai, the general of the Taiping army in Nanyang, said bitterly: "Chen Hou, do you see if we are resting in Taikang for two days, and then move forward, the brothers are really tired and can't stand it......"

Liu Yukun glanced at Duan Dehai coldly, and replied: "Old Duan, of course I know how tired the brothers are, but saving an emergency is like fighting a fire, and now the Twist Army and the Taiping Army have been defeated one after another, and several important state capitals in Anyang, Hebi, and Xinxiang have been lost one after another, and Kaifeng has been besieged, how much time do you think God has left us?" If we can't get to Kaifeng in time, then we can only collect the bodies of King Zun and King Liang! ”

"But!"

Duan Dehai's face turned bitter, and he said in a low voice: "Chen Hou, our brothers have traveled a thousand miles in sixteen days!" It's too hard, running like this, we have to die, we don't wait for people to beat us, but we are tired and a group of people are tired! ”

Liu Yukun's heart also trembled, but after all, he was ruthless, and replied: "Old Duan, no matter what, we must also try our best to march, now there are only more than two hundred miles away, we can slow down the pace of progress a little, while resting, while marching, in four days, to the city of Kaifeng Mansion!" After entering the city, everyone can rest to their heart's content! ”

Liu Yukun had made up his mind, the military order was like a mountain, and Duan Dehai did not have the slightest way, and several armed forces of the Taiping Army and the Twist Army rushed from Taikang to Kaifeng.

Qi County is the last county seat between Taikang and Kaifeng, and it is less than 80 miles away from Kaifeng Mansion.

To the south of Qi County, Liu Yukun's army had begun to approach the county seat of Qi County, and because of fatigue, the army marched very slowly.

To the east of Qixian County, there are still thirty miles away from the county seat of Qixian County, and there is still a large army advancing rapidly, but this is a cavalry, and it is an extremely powerful cavalry!

It was also nearly a thousand miles away from Suqian all the way to Qixian, but this cavalry traveled a long distance and ran big in Qixian, and it didn't show any fatigue and was still vibrant!

Yan Chunyu sat on a jujube red war horse, extremely depressed, and thought that he was going to fight a big war in Jiangsu, at least he had to make a move with Shi Da, who even admired his eldest brother, but he didn't expect that the two sides only fought a small battle, and then they died down.

Yan Chunyu held back his anger, this time he entered Henan, just to find a fight, whatever, sweep all the way, see who kills whom, whether it is a twist bandit or a long hair, never let the opponent run away!

When Yan Chunyu was sulking, Dong Yue, the company commander of the reconnaissance company, ran over and shouted, "Boss, boss! ”

Yan Chunyu said angrily: "What is it called, mourning, didn't you see Lao Tzu upset?" ”

Dong Yue smiled and shouted, "Boss, our brothers may be going to get rich this time!" ”

In Yan Chunyu's head, getting rich means that there is a war to fight!

As soon as he heard that there was a battle to be fought, Deng Shi became energetic and shouted: "What, Dong Yue of the dog, you make it clear to Lao Tzu, where is the war?" ”

Dong Yue said with a smile: "We just got the information, about twenty or thirty miles south of Qixian County, a large number of Taiping troops appeared, and the strength was almost 30,000 people!" Apparently reinforcements from the south, what's the matter, boss, why don't we catch up with the vote? ”

Yan Chunyu gasped, I'm a mother, 30,000 soldiers, but I only have more than 3,000 people! Even if he led all the cavalry, this battle was not so easy to fight, at most he was just having a good time, and it was almost impossible to take two bites and run, and if he wanted to kill others.

Yan Chunyu scolded: "Bastard! You've been following Lao Tzu for so long, why haven't you grown at all? There are 30,000 people in the family, and we only have 3,000! Ten to one! Do we still want to get rich? If you don't know it, you're going to lose your life! ”

Dong Yue didn't care either, and said with a smile: "Boss, since I told you, I naturally have the certainty to hit it hard!" It is true that this force has a small 30,000 people, but at first glance, it is a long journey, maybe they are all from Nanyang and Xinyang Gang, you think, thousands of miles away, long journey, according to our intelligence, they got the order to gallop to help, and it did not exceed 20 days, 20 days to travel thousands of miles, this is the rhythm of exhaustion, I am afraid that as soon as our cavalry appears, not to mention beating them, just fright, can kill them! ”

Yan Chunyu's eyes lit up and asked, "Is what you kid said true?" This is a matter of life and death, and it is not a child's play! ”

Dong Yue smiled and replied: "Boss, this reconnaissance, but the second reconnaissance I personally led people to carry out, absolutely can't be wrong, it's almost dusk today, they will definitely not be able to enter the county seat of Qixian today, they can only rest in a place almost ten miles away from Qixian, we will sneak attack all night, and we will definitely be able to win a big victory!" ”

Yan Chunyu slapped Dong Yue on the shoulder fiercely, and shouted: "Okay, not bad, well done, it's so decided, order the reconnaissance company, closely monitor the movements of the Taiping army, report back at any time, order the cavalry to advance to the east, stop and rest about ten miles away from Qixian County, after the hour, the army will start to move, this time, you have to make a good fortune in Fali City!" ”
