When Yingzhou fell, Zhang Suimou rushed to Huainan, the northern battalion and the Chinese army battalion were in one place, and when Guo Ye arrived in Yingzhou, Shi Dakai also left Tianjing and rushed to Huainan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

By the time Shi Dakai arrived in Huainan, Guo Ye had already begun to advance in the direction of Fengyang, and the entire northern half of Fengyang was still under the control of the Qing court.

Such a route is much faster and more convenient than transporting baggage through Henan.

Zhang Suimou and Long Kaisheng have already received the news of the loss of Yingzhou, Huo Qingteng was beaten by the Qing demon, and the strength of a town only escaped more than 1,000 people, which was miserable.

The person who came to report the news said that Huo Qingteng occupied the advantage of Huishan at that time, with an army of 7,000 and ten heavy artillery, even if it did, it only lasted for four or five days, and this was the reason why the Qing Demon did not attack with all his strength, if he attacked with all his strength, I was afraid that the Taiping Army would not be able to hold out for three days!

Zhang Suimou and Long Kaisheng were full of shock, it was too powerful, this Qing army was too powerful!

Long Kaisheng glanced at Zhang Suimou and said: "Brother Suimou, you have always been known for defense in the Taiping Army, you have already read Huo Qingteng's battle report, is there any mistake in his defense?" ”

Zhang Suimou shook his head heavily, and sighed: "There is no mistake, I know Qingteng's ability, and he has always been known for his stability, and the Qiu Qingfei under him is also very powerful, although he is not very old, but he has a flexible mind, and he is the best at using strange soldiers, but he is still defeated so quickly, I think, even if I personally deploy in Huishan, it will be difficult to hold on for a longer time......"

The two of them were silent, and after a long time, Long Kaisheng said in a loud voice: "Brother Suimou, we can't be too arrogant, one, Huo Qingteng's troops are still a little weak, only 7,000 people, I heard that the Qing Demon has dispatched nearly 10,000 people, and the terrain of Huishan is not precipitous, there is nothing to rely on, plus they have lost Yingzhou, the army is in chaos, there is such a defeat, it is also reasonable, now we have gathered the two forces of the Chinese army camp and the northern camp, and together they have reached a small 100,000 troops, Far above the Qing Demon, as long as we are cautious, it is not impossible to defeat the Qing Demon, I suggest that we should take the initiative to attack, not passively defend in Huainan, in that case, when the Qing Demon is fully prepared, we will suffer even more, Huainan is not a big city, it is slightly inferior to the Yingzhou Mansion! ”

Zhang Suimou's heart was shocked, he shook his head, and replied: "No, it is never advisable to take the initiative to attack, a Gao Qi is already so difficult to deal with, if it is in the face of Guo Ye, who is unpredictable with soldiers, we have no chance of winning. ”

Long Kaisheng said hatefully: "But, but Huo Qingteng's fiasco, we don't care?" Thousands of elite soldiers, just like that! ”

Zhang Suimou shook his head and said: "Revenge must be avenged, but, don't be in a hurry, the Wing King will rush to Huainan in a few days, and then we can naturally have a decisive battle with the Qing Demon, I think only the Wing King can have a certain victory in the face of the Qing Demon......"

Long Kaisheng frowned and said: "But, Brother Suimou, when will the Wing King arrive, the current Qing Demon has already sent troops from Yingzhou, the distance of five hundred miles, that is, the journey of ten days, can the Wing King catch up?" ”

While the two were arguing, a Taiping army ran in and shouted: "The two generals of the cavalry, the team of the Yiwang has arrived at the foot of Huainan City, please go and greet the two generals!" ”

The two of them were already thinking about it, but they didn't expect the Wing King to come so quickly! Doesn't he still have a lot of official business to deal with in Tianjing?

However, since it is here, of course it is a good thing, as soon as the Wing King arrives, the entire Taiping army will have a backbone.

"Quick, quick! Greet now! ”

The two led the generals and welcomed Shi Dakai into Huainan City.

Shi Dakai asked in a deep voice: "How is it, what is the situation in the direction of Yingzhou now?" ”

"Yiwang, Yingzhou City has been lost, Guo Ye's troops have begun to advance towards Huainan, it is estimated that there will be ten more days to reach Huainan City......"

Shi Dakai raised his eyebrows, the speed of the Qing Demon is so fast, so neatly he won Yingzhou City?

"What about Huo Qingteng? Has his town withdrawn its troops to Huainan? ”

Long Kaisheng smiled astringently and replied: "Wing King, Huo Qingteng's army defeated Huishan, and the strength of the entire Eleventh Town has been completely destroyed by the Qing Demon, and now it has withdrawn to Fengyang ......."

Shi Dakai frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Kaisheng, didn't I say that before I arrived, you were not allowed to take the initiative to fight!" The Qing Demon is well-armed and powerful, it is not so easy to deal with, Huo Qingteng wants to compete with the main force of the Qing Demon with only one town, isn't that self-destruction? ”

Long Kaisheng's face was bitter, and he replied: "Lord Wang, your order has just arrived in Huainan less than a day, Huo Qingteng has already sent troops to Huishan, I am thinking about stopping him, it is too late, Huo Qingteng fought hard with the Qing Demon in Huishan for four days, and was finally broken through the defense, if you don't escape quickly, the whole army will be wiped out......"

Shi Dakai's face was solemn, Huo Qingteng's town was the most elite in the Peking Battalion, and the foreign gun battalion alone was equipped with three, all of them were full battalions, 1,500 people, and there were ten artillery pieces, just because of carelessness, he led his troops to battle, and it was over, and his orders were still a step slower!

Long Kaisheng continued: "Lord Wang, now that you have arrived, what should we do next, please instruct, I think, we have gathered a small 100,000 troops, I don't believe it, we are not the opponent of the Qing Demon, then it will become a joke!" ”

Shi Dakai shook his head and said in a deep voice: "What, are you confident that you will be able to defeat the Qing Demon?" Why am I so unfaithful? Why don't you take command? ”

Long Kaisheng's face turned dark, rubbing, he commanded two large battalions, and he also had that ability and prestige, but what happened to the Wing King? I've never seen him like this, the confidence on his face is no longer visible, can these demons really become heavenly soldiers and generals?

Shi Dakai sighed and replied: "To be honest, this time, I am not sure at all, this Guo Ye is the most difficult opponent I have ever met in my life......"
