The Taiping Army's forward was already approaching Guangdong, Zhang Yuanzheng ordered all armies to strictly guard the defensive line, never let a Taiping army come over, the Taiping Army has developed several organizations in Guangdong, the Taiping Army intends to cooperate with the outside and take the whole territory of Guangdong in one fell swoop.

A bright moon crossed, the dark night, full of a solemn atmosphere, late at night a group of people with shovels, wooden sticks, hoes from behind the Guangdong army touched up, Zhang Yuanzheng had long been aware of the enemy's conspiracy. Suddenly, there were fireworks and fireworks, the enemy was exposed to the Cantonese army, and there was another persuasion to surrender, although the people on the opposite side were composed of a group of peasants, but they were also very tough, and none of them surrendered.

Zhang Yuanzheng knew that persuasion was already impossible, "Fire!" At the sound of the order, all the new guns were smashed down, and hundreds of people were wiped out. As soon as the enemy's receiving army arrived, they looked at the corpses all over the ground and reluctantly retreated.

The Taiping army knew that it had lost its response, and could only start a strong attack the next day, and a pair of Taiping troops rushed to the front of the Guangdong army, looking at these groups of people rushing over, a group of troops composed of ordinary people, they had not experienced formal military training, but they still charged forward without fear.

The army of Guangdong, after Zhang Yuanzheng's training for many years, coupled with the fact that the weapons and equipment have begun to change from swords to guns, plus the veterans who have experienced battles with the British army, the Guangdong army at this time has become the only strong army in the country at that time.

The peasant army tirelessly rushed to the Guangdong army, although Zhang Yuanzheng could not bear to do it, but for the sake of the rise of the nation in the future. At the front line of the Guangdong Army, the soldiers were bravely killing the enemy, "Ergouzi, did you kill a few people today," a veteran patted Ergouzi's soldiers, "Hehe, I was lucky today, I killed five enemies," the soldiers discussed today's results on the battlefield.

For a long night, Zhang Yuanzheng sat alone on a big stone and thought about the future path, "The great chaos has begun, and in the next few years, half of the country will be lost, is this time the time to overthrow a dynasty and establish a new equal and free country?" ā€

Zhang Yuanzheng looked at the stars in the sky in confusion, and suddenly his eyes were fixed, like a lightning bolt breaking through the sky.

At this moment, a turning point in the world has appeared, the trajectory of history has begun to slowly change, and there is a weak star in the starry sky that bursts out with strong light, he is so dazzling.

The battle on the front line was raging, Zhang Yuanzheng ordered an increase of 100,000 people, and then recruited 100,000 recruits from all over Guangdong, and in order to improve the military quality of the army, he established the Huaxia Military Academy in Guangzhou, and personally served as the principal.

The peasant army was overwhelmed on other fronts, occupying many places, but failed to move forward in Guangdong, and the Taiping army Yang Xiuqing personally led his troops to come, and for the past few days, Zhang Yuanzheng had been ordering the army to dig trenches, which made the enemy soldiers on the opposite side feel very strange.

Yang Xiuqing saw the strange appearance of the Guangdong army, and laughed Zhang Yuanzheng did not understand the art of war, he knew that the current Guangdong army had begun to develop in the direction of modernization, and it was no longer what it used to be. How do you know how vulnerable the peasant army is in front of the Guangdong army, which is equipped with a large number of modern weapons.
