The third Qing army was quite cunning, divided into small groups to advance, it is estimated that they have found that the torches of the first two groups of troops are missing, and the prediction is wrong, so they are divided into pieces, and always observe the surrounding movements, and then, the large army of more than 1,000 people rushed over, only to see that the light of the torches has illuminated the riverside road quite brightly.

Luo Yang knew that he was not an opponent, so he simply divided his troops into a hundred and continued to lurk in the depths north of the riverbank, leaving only fifty people in the first blockade line to ambush and attack.

As soon as the Qing army arrived, it was attacked by a frenzied attack of guns and foreign guns, in the dark night, there was no gunsmoke at all, but the fire of the muzzle of the gun was still obvious, only to see the fire flickering in the night, and the vanguard of the Qing army fell into a large piece.

After blasting out the ammunition, the ambushed Taiping soldiers quickly took out and lit the homemade grenade.

The main force of the Qing army was the elite Hunan army, all of them were veterans who struggled out of the pile of dead people, naturally strong and bold, and the follow-up officers and soldiers immediately roared and rushed forward, and many people immediately opened fire to kill and wound the Taiping army.

The Taiping soldiers quickly threw out homemade grenades, and as a result, they blew down a large number of Qing troops.

These two attacks almost wiped out the troops in front of the Qing army, nearly 200 people, who were either killed or wounded.

The Qing army was furious, and the ferocity of the Hunan army was very special in the late Qing Dynasty. So, instead of being intimidated by the dead and wounded, they fought harder.

With tacit understanding, the crazy and tenacious Hunan army forward, and paid a considerable price, and finally defeated the Taiping army's ambush, and then, bravely took the lead in pursuit, and in the dark night, the Taiping soldiers were like loaches, quickly burrowed into the woods in the north, and disappeared.

"Hmph, the long-haired thief's kung fu is nothing more than that!" The successive victories against Shi Dakai's army made the Hunan officers and soldiers extremely arrogant, since the rescue mission was urgent, let these thieves pick up a dog's life.

In this volley, 2560 Qing soldiers were killed and wounded, and half of the battalion was formed.

The Qing army was enraged and advanced faster, but after less than four hundred meters, it was attacked again, and the Qing army decided not to expect that the long-haired thief army, which they had always looked down upon, actually had a new tactic of repeated attacks.

lost more than 100 people before continuing to advance, and when the army really arrived at Wang Yingyuan's old nest, plus the loss of the third attack, almost a battalion of soldiers was gone.

The sound of fierce fighting on the banks of the Songlin River attracted the attention of Hu Zhonghe, the commander of the Qing army and the governor of Sichuan, who personally put on his armor and led his troops to the banks of the Songlin River, monitoring the movements of the Taiping army on the south bank, and then sent troops to reinforce the western section again. Because, once the river defense is broken anywhere, the entire defense line of the Songlin River will have no meaning.

Groups of elite Qing troops, along the road on the banks of the Songlin River, which had been painstakingly opened, reinforce to the west, and from the woods in the north, the Luoyang army could see clearly.

The 100 members of the Luoyang army, carrying foreign guns and ammunition taken from the Qing army, their own home-made grenades and other items, quickly marched eastward, in order to speed up, they simply ran wildly on the road, and only before encountering the Qing army, did they quickly sneak into the woods to the north.

It is estimated that two hours after paragliding across the river, the Luoyang army went upriver and mixed into the core area of the Qing army's east road.

"Intensify your operations, destroy them immediately, and attack the enemy's defenders first."

After the Qing army found out on the Western Front, it might return quickly, and there was not enough time, so the Luoyang troops used their disguised identities to advance with swagger, arrested a few prisoners first, and did not hesitate to apply heavy tactics to obtain basic information.

The main forces of the Qing army have all been transferred to the west, and the defenders in the east are less than 400 people!

Luo Yang believes that because according to the prisoners of war, the Qing army's defensive force in the Songlin River has 5,000 people, including more than 2,000 native soldiers, has been completely attacked and slaughtered, the main force of the Qing army on the east road, on the way to the west for reinforcements, has been repeatedly attacked, and nearly 1,000 casualties have been killed, and have been severely damaged.

The focus of the attack was the enemy's core headquarters, and the target was Hu Zhonghe, the commander of the Qing army in Sichuan!

No matter what, 100 people are not sure to successfully defeat more than 400 enemies, if according to the convention, the battle record, it can be said that these 400 Hunan troops will kill this 100 Taiping army on the battlefield in seconds, it is easy. Therefore, Luo Yang was very careful and did not dare to hold it up.

Several Qing army sentries were captured in a row, and the camouflaged military uniforms played a great role, and Luo Yang soon knew that Hu Zhonghe, the main general of the Qing army, was not far from the Songlin River.

Yes, I can see that the momentum of the chief general of the Qing army is illuminated by a comatose torch in the dark night, and there is also a considerable difference, especially Admiral Hu's personal soldiers, who are surrounded by him, and they look very imposing.

On the other hand, Luo Yang is different, he is exactly the same as a soldier, and he can't recognize a stranger who kills you, this is a kind of latent protection.

Luo Yang secretly laughed at Hu Zhonghe's ignorance.

A group of more than a dozen Taiping soldiers galloped over from the banks of the Songlin River with torches, which attracted Hu Zhonghe's attention, according to his orders, these soldiers, not a single line distributed on the riverbank, had to concentrate on the west reinforcements, how could there be a group of hills and eight chaotic breaks?

"Stop, what are you running around?"

"Brother, tell Hu Junmen quickly, we have found a spy of the Long-haired Army here!" Of course, this is played by some of the Taiping Army, who are good at ventriloquism, and Luo Yang, who has learned his lesson, chooses the best bait.

"Huh?" The Qing army quickly reported to Hu Zhonghe, and the general of the Hunan army did not dare to slack off, and immediately led his cronies to rush over, vaguely about seventy or eighty people. It is estimated that this adult thinks that these troops are enough to catch all the long-haired spies.

"Ah, quick, catch the long hair!"

"yes, it's long hair, hahaha, catch three, no, five!"

A few real long-haired soldiers made a lot of nonsense and elated, which immediately attracted the Qing army!

Hu Zhonghe and his cronies quickly arrived and surrounded these soldiers: "Where, where? ”

Of course there are, indeed five, and they put their hands behind their backs, but these people's hands are not tied, and there are also earthen grenades in the hands!

"Hu Junmen? Hu Junmen? Several long-haired thieves who claimed to be the Qing army called out viciously.

"Hmm!" The majestic Hu Zhonghe came, and the Qing army guards around him watched very vigilantly.

Hu Zhonghe's military uniform is absolutely different, the Manchu officials' big supplemental uniform, who can't see it? Even the armor isn't so arrogant, is it?

Several long-haired soldiers looked at each other, and suddenly shouted: "Kill!" ”

The explosion of the grenade exploded, and the guards of Hu Zhonghe, the commander of the Qing army, who were still holding torches, fell down in an instant, screaming and screaming.

Luo Yang and others quickly appeared, in order to ensure that Hu Zhonghe could be killed, Luo Yang's little clever head thought of a lot of tricks, especially the tactics of two attacks, with torches, indicating the meaning of rescue, dozens of Luo Yang's people rushed to the scene, and those Taiping troops who attacked had already retreated. When Luoyang's "Qing army troops" arrived, those who were half-dead on the ground, pretending to be wounded, all shouted together.

Hu Zhonghe was really seriously injured, as the first target, he received special care but still survived, it is a miracle.

Luo Yang and the others held torches and saw all the Qing troops around, and then, with an order, killed the Qing officers and soldiers cleanly, leaving only one admiral, Hu Zhonghe.
