The reinforcements of the Taiping army had arrived, and the momentum on other fronts had already made the generals of the peasant army dizzy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Early in the morning, the Taiping army launched an attack, groups of soldiers rushed to the position of the Guangdong army one after another, Zhang Yuanzheng and the soldiers quietly watched the attack of the peasant army, watching these people are not afraid of death, Zhang Yuanzheng's brows furrowed, it seems that only when they are hurt and afraid, the enemy will stop attacking Guangdong.

"Xu Zhi, Wang Yong, next you will command by yourself, remember not to kill them all, not only to beat them down, but also not to annihilate them all, take out all our current firepower, let them see what a cross-era war is." Zhang Yuanzheng took the telescope and looked ahead.

Xu Zhi and Wang Yong turned around and went down to make arrangements, and in an instant the enemy had come to three hundred meters in front of the formation, and the soldiers on the position were all in full array, Zhang Yuanzheng raised his binoculars and took a look

When did the Taiping Army ever see this kind of big battle, as soon as the artillery of the Guangdong Army started, the peasant army was completely blinded, and as soon as the cannon sounded, it would fall down one piece, and after the artillery was finished, the rifles of the soldiers on the position continued to fire, and a group of people would fall without a row of bullets.

The artillery fire extended, the infantry began to charge, the whole army of the Guangdong army pressed on, and began to pursue the enemy, Yang Xiuqing was still satirizing Zhang Yuanzheng for not understanding the art of war one second, but the next second he became a defeated army, and the whole army of the Taiping army was shocked by the fighting style of the Guangdong army, and it was defeated as soon as it made contact.

Xu Zhi and Wang Yong fell all the way to pursue the Taiping army, the Taiping army fled all the way, with countless casualties, and the weapons of the Guangdong army left a heavy shadow in the hearts of the soldiers of the Taiping army. The Cantonese army let go of the remaining enemy troops in a timely manner.

"My lord, I don't understand, why let those people go." Zhang Yuanzheng looked at his subordinates in front of him with puzzled faces,

"You two must remember that the purpose of the war is to prevent the war, and our current purpose is to stop the enemy's attack on Guangdong, and the purpose of releasing that group of people is to have a great impact on the enemy's psychology, to deter the enemy, and to make the enemy stop attacking Guangdong."

In the end, the Taiping army was able to escape back with more than 1,000 people, and the Taiping army who fled back brought negative morale to their army, and the morale of the Taiping army suffered a huge blow.

"My lord, this morning the scouts came to report that the rebel army had turned to the north and had stopped attacking us, but only sent part of the army to defend us, Xu Zhi sent a letter asking for instructions on whether to attack it." Wang Yong reported to Zhang Yuanzheng

Zhang Yuanzheng walked to the door with the information in hand, turned to look at Wang Yong, "Let Xu Zhi not have to attack the Taiping army, but strengthen the defense." ”

Zhang Yuanzheng was quietly meditating in the study alone, and Lin Jinluan walked in, "Do you have any troubles with your husband, I may be able to help my husband share a little bit of it." ”

"Jin Luan, it's nothing, follow me, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Yuanzheng looked at his wife, and suddenly Zhang Yuanzheng asked, "Madam, how many books have you read?" ”

"Husband, I read most of my father's books when I was a child, and my husband asked what he was doing." Lin Jinluan replied.

"It's nothing, it's just that I think that there are many people who are still illiterate, and I want to set up a women's school so that more women can read and write." Zhang Yuanzheng continued to bow his head and ponder, and Lin Jinluan also thought about what Zhang Yuanzheng said, and also pondered.
