Across the Songlin River, Shi Dakai and others led the main force to reconnoiter the scene on the north bank of the river, because the river suddenly subsided a lot, and the river was much narrower.

The Taiping soldiers cheered. The news of the victory lifted everyone's spirits.

"Good, good! Good! Shi Dakai burst into tears, he really didn't know what to say. His subordinate generals Zeng Shi and Huang Zaizhong and others were also so excited that they hugged their heads and cried!

"The demons have been defeated!"

"We won!"

In order to cross the river, Shi Dakai troops of the Taiping Army rushed to cross seven times before and after, and were directly drowned by more than 10,000 elite troops! At such a heavy price, he still did not cross the river, the back road was cut off, malaria was rampant, and the Qing army attacked from behind, causing the whole army to fall into a desperate situation! Now, however, it is all gone! The enemy's extremely well-defended river defense position, the door is open!

The purple land on the south bank of the river, gongs and drums are noisy, firecrackers are ringing, and the entire Taiping army troops are crazy and crazy, singing and dancing!

In the afternoon, seeing that the water of the Songlin River had dropped again, Luo Yang carefully pushed down the captured Tusi's boats and quickly crossed the river.

When Luo Yang and others stepped on the south bank of the land, the Taiping soldiers let out deafening cheers, and Shi Dakai even suddenly ordered everyone to kneel to greet them.

Nearly 8,000 soldiers of the Taiping Army knelt down together, convinced and happy.

"Get up, get up, get up!" Luo Yang and the others also cried with excitement.

Shi Dakai rushed over, hugged Luo Yang frantically, and cried nonstop!

More soldiers flocked to the city, crying with joy.

It is indeed a day worth celebrating, because it marks the complete victory of the Taiping army in the purple land, completely smashing the blockade and encirclement of the Qing army, and achieving a grand military and strategic success.

The wine and meat were fragrant and fraternal, and the Luoyang Paratrooper Commando was warmly welcomed and hospitalized, and the entire Taiping Army was immersed in the joy of celebration.

Part of the Taiping army crossed the Songlin River, cleaned up the battlefield, collected the weapons and ammunition left by the Qing army, and buried the corpses of the Qing army, and some Taiping troops crossed the Dadu River to collect the remaining military funds of the Qing army's Tang Yougeng Department.

The military victory, the huge capture and replenishment of materials, and the crazy rise in self-confidence and morale made the remnants of the Taiping army regain their strong combat effectiveness.

After eating, Luo Yang and other commandos fell asleep soundly, until they were woken up by Shi Dakai and others at night.

In Shi Dakai's Chinese army tent, more than a dozen senior generals were waiting, as soon as they saw Luo Yang arrive, they immediately stood up respectfully to greet him, Shi Dakai took Luo Yang's hand, refused to throw it away, and finally pressed him on the chair next to him, forming a host-guest situation where Shi Dakai and Luo Yang sat side by side.

"Wing King, isn't that right?" Luo Yang is still self-aware.

"Right! Appropriate! Shi Dakai hurriedly said, and at the same time arched his hand: "Brothers, tonight, this king wants to announce a big matter to you!" ”

Thirsty, thirsty, or thirsty, Luo Yang basically didn't pay attention, because last night's battle was too dangerous, and there was a danger of annihilation anytime and anywhere.

Shi Dakai first asked Luo Yang to tell the scene of last night's battle, the process, and all the generals were also very curious, with only 400 soldiers, flying across the Songlin River, it was a miracle, and then attacking and breaking through the enemy's defense line was another achievement, and then completely annihilating the main force of the Qing army of more than 5,000 people, it was even more unimaginable, and the capture of the two giants of the Qing army was really a miracle and a miracle, this brilliant victory made all the senior generals of the Taiping Army unimaginable, there was only one thought, they thought, this is all magical!

Luo Yang recounted the process.

"Ah, I see!" Every Taiping general's face was full of questions, and they were all very suspicious of whether this was true, if someone had predicted such an outcome before, they must have thought that person was crazy!

However, it's all come true!

The Taiping army attacked the Songlin River at night with 400 elites, fought fiercely all night, sacrificed 289 people (including paragliding accidents), annihilated more than 5,000 Qing troops, of which more than 4,420 were directly killed and 600 were captured. This kind of military victory has never been seen in the entire history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

"Luo Jaefu is a hero!"

"Yes, I admire! Admire! ”

"Luo Zaifu is simply a god! Help me to be in the Heavenly Kingdom! ”

"Yes, you are the one sent by Heavenly Father to save my Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!"

Every general admired Luo Yang so much, and there was no longer any doubt or resentment.

"Brothers, the meaning of this king's invitation to Luo Zaifu today is not mainly to talk about last night's battle, because, we have asked a number of soldiers, and everyone is clear about the outline, and now, this king officially announces that I, Shi Dakai, the winged king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, have decided to give up the title of winged king and appoint Luo Zaifu, and in the future, the army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in my west will take Luo Yang as the winged king and commander, and all the brothers and soldiers will obey his command!" Shi Dakai said in a generous tone suddenly.

This thunderbolt on a sunny day suddenly shocked the entire military tent to the point that there was no more human voice.

Luo Yang was in a daze and sleep, suddenly heard this sentence, and hurriedly got up to excuse himself: "Wing King, how can this be done?" No, no! ”

"Okay!" Shi Dakai grabbed Luo Yang's hand, full of affection: "Actually, my Taiping Army on the Western Front has been defeated repeatedly, and this king is hard to escape the blame, since this king left Tianjing seven years ago to now, it has risen and fallen several times, and finally ended up in the tragedy of the destruction of the entire army in the purple land, and the blame lies in this king, if it weren't for your Luo Zaifu to arrive, then my Taiping army would have been annihilated!" Da Kai knows very well that in terms of military command, you Luo Yang is ten times higher than me! Therefore, for the sake of the future of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, for the future of thousands of brothers and sisters, this king has decided to let you be virtuous, and I hope you can take responsibility and carry forward the cause of my Taiping Heavenly Kingdom! ”

The other generals, none of them dared to speak up, and everyone was full of expectations for the prospect of Luo Yang as the commander, but they had deep feelings for Shi Dakai and couldn't give up, so they couldn't express their position.

Luo Yang knew that all the Taiping troops were Shi Dakai's cronies, although he was lucky to succeed, but he would never be able to convince the public in a short period of time, besides, he really didn't have much interest in commanding the whole army, if he was interested earlier, he would not have been embarrassed to be at the bottom of the sling in modern society.

"No way!"

However, Shi Dakai was resolute, and even forced him to die, Luo Yang had no choice but to agree to command the actual military operations of the whole army first, and in the name of Shi Dakai being the general responsibility.

"That's great!" All the generals stood up and expressed their support for this optimal combination.

"Well, this is the king's command sword, presented to Luo Zaifu, all the soldiers, and then only Luo Zaifu will be the head of the horse!"

In order to improve Luo Yang's status, Shi Dakai discussed with the generals and crowned Luo Yang as the title of King Rui.

The next day, Shi Dakai officially announced the whole army.
