The battle was unprecedentedly fierce, and the Hunan officers and soldiers who were attacked were found to have fought back bravely, and more than 300 people surrounded the Luoyang army, and in the dim light of the torches, the melee was endless.

In this battle, the fighting spirit and self-confidence of the soldiers on both sides can be said to be evenly matched, and the elite of the Hunan army, which has always been brave, has an advantage in numbers, but the Luoyang army occupies the target advantage -- they are all wearing the clothes of the Qing army, although the Hunan army is a big encirclement, but it is not easy to figure out who is their own person for a while.

Of course, the Hunan army is a well-trained division of a hundred battles, so it naturally has a way, shouting while fighting, relying on the accent to contact and identify, and if the accent is wrong or does not respond, it will be cut immediately, and the situation will be quickly reversed.

In the process of resuming contact, more than 70 Hunan troops have paid a heavy price and have been plotted by the Luoyang army.

The Hunan army fought bravely, and the murderous spirit of annoyance and anger, with the shouts of Hunan accents, was huge and shocking.

Luo Yang knew that he was not the enemy's opponent, so he could only throw out the remnants of the earthen grenades, although there were not many, but the throwing and explosion after ignition still caused heavy damage to the Qing army, and more than 50 Qing troops lost their combat effectiveness, and the rest of the Qing army was suddenly shocked and did not dare to approach easily.

This was the last chance, Luo Yang immediately led the remnants of the soldiers out of the encirclement, and at the same time, while resisting, he sent more than a dozen soldiers: "Go, burn!" Light all the barracks of the Qing Demon to Lao Tzu! ”

The raging fires swirled over the Hunan army's Huzhong and the military camps, and the kind of tents that protected them from rain, often soaked with grease, turned out to be the best incineration, and the thick black smoke and strong smell of burnt paste filled the air, choking many people around them.

Luo Yangjun quickly fled towards the surrounding darkness.

The Qing army couldn't, so they had to rush over to rescue, the barracks, tents, food, and the reserves of foreign guns and gunpowder, etc., absolutely could not be burned indiscriminately, since the Taiping army had retreated, the Qing army had to desperately come forward to rescue and extinguish the fire.

"Up!" The lurking Luoyang army immediately pounced like a wolf, hit with foreign guns, and poked with sabers, attacking from all sides, killing the chaotic Hunan army with heavy casualties.

Ten minutes into the second attack, all the elites of the Hunan army were either killed or wounded, and the remaining dozens of people could not parry at a glance, so they could only escape lifelessly towards the darkness in the north.

The Luoyang army gathered troops, escorted the Qing army to Hu Zhonghe, the governor of Sichuan, and moved to the west, fighting to this extent, every Taiping army soldier became crazy and confident, everyone's body and face were bloody, and everyone did not have the leisure to think about the problem of survival.

Obviously, the main force of the Hunan army, which was fighting in the western Songlin River section, began to retreat to the east with torches and reinforcements, because the fire of the military camp in the east was too arrogant.

Luo Yangjun looked at the direction of the enemy's torches, knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered, rooted the troops, and continued the ambush.

This time, the home-made grenades have been exhausted, and even the foreign guns have no ammunition, and only sabers are used.

According to the passing count, the Luoyang Army East Road assault force of one hundred people, now there are only forty-two people left, and there are ten people who are not lightly injured, seeing that at the critical moment, someone came in the dark, after contact, it is actually the fifty soldiers left before, and now there are thirty-nine people.

Eighty soldiers hid themselves in two groups and concealed themselves on the north side of the river in a loose linear formation.

Perhaps it was the excessive cunning of the Qing army, their vanguard actually dropped the torches and ran east while the darkness was in the dark, and as a result, the tentative shouting and contact made the Luo Yang army decisively confirm that this was not a hidden and lost comrade-in-arms.

In the darkness, the Taiping army attacked continuously, sabers dripping with blood, cutting piles of human flesh and wood on the dark riverside road.

Of course, according to the agreement, even the Taiping army, which attacked from the west and from two directions, also carried out an active attack.

Fierce fighting lasted all night, and in the end, the Qing army fled in disarray.

When it was dawn, the Luoyang troops assembled on the banks of the Songlin River in the west, shouted directly, and ripped off all the disguised Qing army clothes. As a result, only ninety-three Taiping soldiers remained. After searching, eighteen soldiers were also found who were seriously wounded, and a total of one hundred and eleven survived, and all the gliding paratroopers who took off from the purple land were four hundred people at full capacity when they were dispatched.

However, the Qing army died more, and the whole battlefield was full of corpses of the Qing army, including the native soldiers of the Yi Songlin Tusi in the west section of the river, including the main force of the Hunan army in the eastern section, and in some places, the corpses were piled up and the blood flowed like a river.

After the very terrible war, the cold and stiff corpses, often hideous, the black blood coagulated, and the swarms of flies that attacked them were the most common sight in summer, and not long after, when the sun rose hotly, the battlefield began to fill the battlefield with a choking rancid stench.

It is strange to say that on this night, the water of the Songlin River dropped a lot, and the turbulent and boiling scene was basically gone, and the boats of the Songlin Tusi hidden on the north bank were pushed down the river to maintain a basic sailing state.

The Luoyang army did not take the risk, and hurriedly packed up the weapons and ammunition discarded by the Qing army from the battlefield, especially foreign guns and gunpowder.

Luo Yang's worries are not superfluous, sure enough, the Songlin Yi people carried out a heroic attack, because more than 2,000 strong men were killed, the remnants of the Songlin people can be said to be filial piety, every household cried, and thus inspired their determination to take revenge, thousands of local soldiers, armed with knives, guns and sticks, rushed towards the Luoyang army.

It just so happened that in the battle in the west, Wang Yingyuan of Tusi was also arrested, and the Luoyang army escorted Wang Yingyuan in front, pressing his head and neck with a saber, this guy was afraid of being a grandson, and quickly ordered the local soldiers and people to retreat. At the same time, when some of the remnants of the Qing army's east road also risked their lives to counterattack after the Mandate of Heaven, looking at Hu Zhonghe, the admiral who was controlled by the Taiping army, he didn't dare to approach any further, for fear of forcing the Taiping army into a hurry, and directly cut Hu Zhonghe's pig brain!

After hesitating for a while, all the Qing troops and local soldiers and civilians who were facing each other scattered in a hurry, like chickens and ducks.

Worried that the Songlin River could not be crossed, Luo Yang did not take the risk, but organized his army to the east, came to the estuary area, and confronted the Qing army east of the Dadu River. He wanted to reconnoiter the situation of the Tang Yougeng Department of the Qing Army.

The Dadu River is in this area, it is north-south, Tang Yougeng army 8,000 people are guarded in sections, all in the east of the Dadu River, so, in a battle last night, although they can hear it clearly, and see it a little clearly, they can't rush to the rescue, not to mention that the Dadu River is still quite noisy at this time, even during the usual dry period, the boat can not be sailed at night. Seeing the fierce fighting on the west bank, the Qing army had to be in a hurry.

The Luoyang army escorted Hu Zhonghe and Wang Yingyuan to the Dadu River to show the Qing army on the other side of the river, which was also a deterrent. Originally, Luo Yang was worried that the Qing army would cross the river here and counterattack.

Tang Yougeng, a fierce general of the Qing army, rushed to the shore with his own soldiers, and saw with his own eyes their lovely superior leader, Hu Zhonghe, the commander of the fierce Hunan army, whose face was covered with blood, and then looked at the desperate fat pig face of the once arrogant pine forest toast, and suddenly his soul was scattered, this fierce general, known as the tiger idiot of the Qing Dynasty, knew that the entire river defense had been broken through, and angrily scolded towards the west bank. After scolding, he still led the troops sensibly and urgently retreated to Chengdu.

Although Tang Yougeng was very bold when he scolded, he was really frightened, because he didn't know how the Taiping army stole across the Songlin River, let alone how many people there were in the Taiping army, because of the Songlin River defense line, the Qing army had more than 5,000 people, and the 3,000 Hunan army elite, all of them were stronger than his indigenous Sichuan army.

"Lord Commander, we're just going to withdraw?" His deputy, a certain prefect Cai Buzhong was puzzled.

"Do you want to be like the two of them!" Tang Yougeng was furious.
