According to the prior agreement, Ren Qian took his hundreds of headquarters people to the outside of the city at the third watch. After repeated persuasion and temptation, although there was already a newcomer Hu Yihuang to suppress the formation, Xue Zhiwu hesitated, but still expressed to him that he was willing to sacrifice Ximen and cooperate with the Qing army to exterminate Hu Yihuang's thousands of men.
In the dead of night, the moon is dark and the stars are scarce, there are not many soldiers of the Taiping Army on the city, and under the tall lanterns, Xue Zhiwu stands impressively.
With the applause of the Qing army outside the city, Xue Zhiwu nodded, waved his hand behind him, and turned back to the city. The sound of squeaking sounded, and the heavy ** west door was slowly opening.
"Brothers, the time has come for meritorious service, rush in, capture Hu Yihuang alive, reward 10,000 gold, and those who are officials will be promoted to three levels in a row!" With a swing of the big knife in Ren Qian's hand, the black soldiers immediately rushed to the city gate like crazy.
"Lord Xietong, let them go in!"
There is still a stone's throw away from Ren Qian, who is playing the striker, and the two standard men and horses led by Mao Sanyuan are waiting quietly and silently. Hearing the unbearable excited shouts of his subordinates, and then carefully observing the sound of fighting that had not yet appeared in the city, a smug smile appeared on Mao Sanyuan's face.
"Okay, give it to me!" With his order, more than 2,000 loyal and righteous rescue soldiers with live ammunition also did not make a sound, and rushed straight to the ** city.
When Mao Sanyuan drove his horse into the city gate, he was finally shocked. First, the earth-shattering shouting of killing suddenly started, and then the cracking sound of snatching resounded.
Maybe the progress was too smooth, so Mao Sanyuan didn't have time to think about where the gunshots came from. It wasn't until the sharp horn sound outside the city behind him suddenly sounded in the sky that Mao Sanyuan's body shook and almost fell off the horse.
The two regiments of the Red Eighteenth Division, in the case of the Qing army's defenselessness, suddenly appeared in the western suburbs, which had not yet come in handy, and the loyal rescue artillery team that had time to enter the city was immediately cut off outside the city, and fell into an unfavorable situation in which the north and south sides were attacked at the same time. The west gate was re-"closed" in reverse.
In the city, the three regiments of the teaching brigade deployed by Tan Shaoguang were spread out in a circle, and the figures of Red Army soldiers and revenge bullets were everywhere on the rooftops, in the courtyards, and in the streets and alleys.
"That's called beating the dog behind closed doors, haha, Mao Sanyuan, I told you to come and go!" On the city wall, just a few hundred meters away from the West City Gate, Tan Shaoguang held a telescope to look at the masterpiece he designed. Not only Mao Sanyuan, but also Ren Qian, who traveled back and forth between Pukou and ** three times and five times, never thought that Xue Zhiyuan and his subordinates would have been controlled by Tan Shaoguang who had entered **. The contact between Xue Zhiyuan and Ren Qian and the so-called agreement are just a few scenes that Xue Zhiyuan did with him in order to survive.
History is often full of such coincidences. Tan Shaoguang, who was the king of Mu in the history of the Celestial Dynasty, was in the difficult time when the loyal king Li Xiucheng returned to Tianjing and guarded Suzhou by himself, it was precisely because of the so-called "Eight Kings" rebellion that in the middle of the meeting, this young loyal general of the Celestial Dynasty was actually pulled out by the traitor Wang Anjun with a short sword and slashed at Shaoguang's neck. Tan Shaoguang did not watch out for the conspiracy of the traitors, and was immediately cut down on the table in front of him. Eight vicious traitors rushed forward, pulled him down, cut off his head, gave it to the enemy outside the city, and opened the gate to surrender to the enemy together.
At that time, although Tan Shaoguang had intercepted several letters written by the foreign devil Gordon to the traitor Gao Yongkuan to negotiate surrender, he was not unaware of the dangerous situation that might arise. However, although he was the commander of Suzhou, in the later period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, when the generals had their own independent command, it was impossible for him to command other people's armies. At that time, the traitor Gao Yongkuan and other subordinates accounted for three-quarters of the total number of defenders in Suzhou, guarding four of the six city gates, and their strength was even farther than Shaoguang. Therefore, even after Tan Shaoguang intercepted evidence of the traitors' mutiny, he could not have ordered the traitors to be arrested. He had also thought of killing them with a scheme, but after killing them, would their men resist? Will there be internal changes in the city? If the strong enemy outside the city takes the opportunity to attack from both sides, then it will be okay!
Therefore, in line with his downright nature and always frank to people, he decided to convene an emergency military meeting in his palace in desperation, trying to persuade those traitors with reason, so that they would change their minds, jointly defend Suzhou, and serve the country loyally. He thinks too well of the traitors, and it is precisely because of this that he can only have a tragic end. This tragic ending contains both human nature and the helplessness of the Celestial Empire at dusk.
Now it's different. Tan Shaoguang knew that Xue Zhiyuan had an attempt to mutiny, and he had enough elite troops in his hands to deal with this qiē. He didn't hesitate about the traitors at all, and even cleverly used the different psychology of Qing Demon and Xue Zhiyuan to open a big net, which also achieved the beginning of his loyalty and salvation of the first Manchu Qing Dynasty in the history of the Celestial Empire.
Of course, the battle is only a small beginning, and the main event is still to come. What does it mean that the banner of His Royal Highness King An will be hoisted at the head of Lai'an Xiaocheng tomorrow? Tan Shaoguang will not understand, but the opponents may not be able to understand it now.
Tan Shaoguang put down the binoculars, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and looked at Tan Tiyuan with a smile, "It's time to inform Deputy Brigade Commander Pan in the south of the city that you can lead Wu Ruxiao, Liu Mingyuan, and Lu Shunde's troops to set off." ”
"Yes!" Tan Tiyuan sent out the herald, turned around and looked at the brigade commander with a smile, "Hehe, Pukou must be the same as here, and I didn't expect it." ”
What will happen in Pukou, that is a matter of the future, for the current Mao Sanyuan, the unexpected thing in front of him is enough to kill him. Only 2,000 officers and men, who had fought out of the city for less than two streets, were pressed back in an instant, crowded in a small area, and completely became a live target. The foreign guns that once made him proud and made him arrogant for a while, under the absolute suppression of the Red Army in the city, did not even have the time to reload the bullets, and they were completely like burning sticks.
At the beginning, many loyal and righteous rescue soldiers in front of them also planned to face the Red officers and soldiers who rushed in the sound of the horn with bayonets and made a comparison. That knows, people didn't meet, but what fell on the top of their heads were first iron thunder, and after the pieces of loyal and righteous rescue ** soldiers flew flesh and blood, what followed was a high-held saber and shining spears.
Once upon a time, they thought that they were invincible in the world, and the loyal and righteous rescuers would never have thought that the Red Army soldiers in front of them who were windy and murderous under their feet were actually the knights of the Celestial Empire who were accustomed to fighting immediately and galloping in the wilderness. The officers and men of the teaching brigade who left their mounts were also invincible heroes.
Now, the only thought left in the minds of the loyal and righteous rescuers is to run, how far and how far they can run. The defeat was like a mountain......
"My lord, it's over, we have no way out." Ren Qian's head was obviously bruised by a bullet, and his face was smeared with blood like a blood gourd. His men had already been beaten down from the city that they thought they were in control of under the first round of sudden blows, and the Red Army officers and soldiers who had been ambushed in advance on the roads on both sides of the road flocked to the front, beating Ren Gan's men to the point that there were few left. He was lucky enough to run back to Mao Sanyuan's side, but he still relied on the brave rush of those loyal and righteous generals who didn't know whether to live or die at first.
Mao Sanyuan, who had no arrogance on his face, had already jumped off the horse, wrapped in the rebels, and was surging back and forth in the open air without shelter and support. No matter how much he shouted and stopped, it was always difficult to stabilize his subordinates who had lost their souls. Seeing Ren Qian at this time, he was tantamount to finding someone who could finally vent.
"What the son of a bitch raised, didn't you say that there was no Red Army for them here? It was you who colluded with Longfur to get us into their ambush! Mao Sanyuan stood firm and first slapped Ren Qian in the mouth.
Maybe this one mouth happened to hit Ren Gan's wound, and Ren Qian screamed and fell to the ground. He clutched half of his face tightly, his face contorted in pain, his body spasming.
"My lord, surrender, their Red Army does not kill prisoners of war!" Ren Gan, who was lying on the ground, screamed mournfully, and as a puff of green smoke came out of the short gun in Mao Sanyuan's hand, his eyes widened with horror, and his body twitched twice.
Once a poor farmer, in order to change his life, he put down his hoe and joined the team of twisters. He also fought bravely against the government and later the Qing army, and gradually grew into a well-known figure in the twist. His life has indeed changed, and he has become a sorrow without food and clothing for a while. In order to change himself more, in order to better enjoy the world, he became the vanguard of the split of the Self-Defense Army, and did not hesitate to defect to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and became a shameful minion. In the end, he got nothing, all he got was a dream flower and a moon in the water. It was rare that at the last moment when he was about to leave this world that he could have enjoyed, he actually thought of surrendering. That's human nature!
