Back on the mountain, Huo Qingteng's face turned pale, he and Qiu Qingfei had made enough preparations, but they didn't achieve even a little success, but instead let the Qing Demon of the family beat a falling flower, and the strength of the three battalions was all folded in, along with half of the foreign gun battalion, damn, distressing blood!

However, this matter is definitely not to blame Qiu Qingfei, even if he personally leads the team, he will definitely not be able to do anything better than Qiu Qingfei, not that Qiu Qingfei is a waste, but that the enemy in front of him is too powerful, and he is really a vain man under the fame!

Now Huo Qingteng is also a little at a loss, the opponent is too strong, the opponent doesn't seem to have moved a full-scale attack, if they launch more troops to attack the mountain, it will be even more difficult to resist.

When the two sides fell into a big war, the messenger sent by Huo Qingteng also arrived in Huainan Mansion.

"What? Huo Qingteng led the army into battle? ”

On the middle seat, Long Kaisheng heard the report of the signal soldier, his heart was shocked, and he stood up suddenly, he had just received an order from the Wing King, asking the army not to fight, and to shrink the force to Fengyang and Huainan, that is, to prepare to temporarily abandon Yingzhou, the combat power of the Qing Demon is too strong, and it is definitely not a force in the Beida Battalion that can fight independently.

Now that Huo Qingteng has gone directly to battle, his order has not yet had time to be issued!

Long Kaisheng slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "Where is the strength of his second town now?" ”

The signal soldier hurriedly replied: "General, now General Huo has led all the main forces to Huishan, trying to rely on the favorable terrain of Huishan to block the Qing Demon and protect the safety of Yingzhou......"

Blocking the Qing Demon? Protecting Yingzhou security?

Long Kaisheng felt bitter in his heart, this Huo Qingteng, he knew that he was foolish, Huishan was more than 100 miles away from Yingzhou, you would stay all the main forces in Huishan, what should you do in Yingzhou, if someone sends an elite to attack you behind your back? What the hell are you going to do? When the time comes, you have no way forward, no way back, just rely on your 7,000 people, just thinking about a decisive battle with the main force of the Qing Demon of others, what do you think? Aren't the hundreds of thousands of twisted troops and the Northern Taiping Army beaten down? How old are you?

However, it's too late to say anything now, from Huainan to Yingzhou, but the distance is hundreds of miles, I don't have cavalry, if I want to rush to Yingzhou, it will take ten days at the earliest, at that time, I am afraid that the daylily will be cold, and it will be late!

Now I can only hope that God will have long eyes and ensure that Yingzhou is fine, otherwise, once Yingzhou is lost, then Huo Qingteng's town troops will even lose the back road, and they can only be dumplings by others!

Half a month, according to his own estimates, in half a month, the Qing Demon will definitely defeat Huo Qingteng, and then occupy Yingzhou, and advance the battle line towards the Fengyang area, he also needs to act early, and the Chinese army camp of the Wing King will be able to arrive in a few days, and it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose in this battle.

"Immediately send a fast horse, pass on my order, and order the soldiers of Yingzhou to patrol day and night, pay close attention to the surrounding enemy situation, beware of a sneak attack by the Qing demon, and if you lose Yingzhou, Lao Tzu will pick off the heads of all of them!"

Long Kaisheng shouted.

However, what Long Kaisheng was worried about, what happened, the main force attracted Huo Qingteng's attention, and the cavalry of the two battalions bypassed from Longshan and attacked Yingzhou directly, Gao Qi's countermeasures were the same as Long Kaisheng thought!

Sending light horses from Huainan to Yingzhou to herald, that is a distance of nearly five hundred miles, even if it is a fast horse, one person and two horses, I am afraid that it will take more than three days, three days, and by the time the light cavalry of the herald arrives in Yingzhou, Yingzhou will already change the sky.

On the main road, Gao He led two cavalry battalions all the way forward, more than a hundred miles away, that is, two days only, when he arrived outside Yingzhou City, it was just afternoon, at this time, it was not the best strategy to launch an attack, after all, there were still a lot of Taiping troops in Yingzhou City, and they did not carry heavy weapons, and it was not so easy to attack Yingzhou City.

Gao Yu introduced all the cavalry into a forest outside the city, temporarily hidden, there is a large forest, it is not difficult to hide thousands of cavalry, even if someone finds it, the brothers can control it.

How to attack and take Yingzhou City? This is the problem in front of Gao E.

From the woods to the city of Yingzhou, the distance is almost five or six miles, if the action is fast, that is, a few minutes, the problem now is that I don't know how the defense of Yingzhou City is.

Zhang Hexiang, the commander of the cavalry battalion on the side, asked, "Second brother, what should we do now?" Do you want to launch a night raid like the last time you attacked Xinxiang? ”

Gao He shook his head and replied: "This is different, at the beginning of Xinxiang City, there was no preparation at all, so we were successfully attacked, but this time it is different, Yingzhou City has long been prepared, the main force has already rushed to Huishan, Yingzhou City is heavily guarded, just relying on the night attack, it is difficult to succeed ......"

Zhang Hexiang asked, "What should I do then?" The night attack is not good, if we attack, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to get hands! ”

Gao He smiled: "Haven't you heard of crossing the river in white?" This time, let's give him a white-clothed river! Let the first and second rows of the cavalry company take off their uniforms, change into ordinary clothes, cut two logs overnight, and get me two coffin boards, let's carry the coffins into the city, hehe, they won't doubt us, right? ”

Zhang Hexiang shook his head and replied: "Second brother, as you just said, Yingzhou City is heavily guarded, and the inspection of the city gate is definitely much stricter than before, and we can't enter at all!" ”

"Hehe, who said you were going to get in?"

Gao He said with a smile: "We put all the rifles into the coffin, and when we arrived at the city gate, we suddenly opened the coffin, and each person had a rifle, and a burst of guns could clean up the Taiping army under the city gate, as long as our brothers can hold on for ten minutes, the main force behind will rush to the city gate and rush into Yingzhou City in one fell swoop!" Hehe, as long as we enter the city, the Taiping Army is definitely not our opponent! All their main forces have been transferred to Huishan, how many people can be left? ”

Zhang Hexiang's eyes lit up, Gao He was right, as long as dozens of people can rush to the city gate, there will be no problem!

Gao He continued: "Hexiang, this time you will personally lead the team, collect all the generals' revolvers, give priority to the first platoon, use pistols to curb the offensive of the Taiping army, and the second platoon will take the opportunity to take the city gate!" ”

"Okay, I'll leave it to me!"
