When the town of Xia Shu was in crisis. Longtan Town is light and light.

No trace of the Qing army was found.

In the hall of the county government, Hong Xuanjiao was dressed in armor, with a saber hanging from her waist, and sat on the main seat with a serious expression. After several days of recuperation, Hong Xuanjiao's internal injuries in her body recovered a lot, and her face became ruddy. These days have been quiet and quiet, and Hong Xuanjiao has been waiting for news from Li Zhen every day, and has sent people to investigate the movements of Li Zhen's army, but he has not waited.

As usual, Hong Xuanjiao was still waiting in the hall.

Below, the county commanders of Longtan Town and the leading generals of Xiashu Town and Dongyang Town gathered together.

"Report!!"

Outside the hall, there was a sudden shout.

A soldier who reported the news rushed in, and when Hong Xuanjiao saw it, he stood up suddenly, and asked without waiting for the soldier to stop: "Say, is it Li Zhen who led the army to attack?" Hong Xuanjiao's hatred for Li Zhen is already unwashed by the surging Yellow River, and she must take revenge. Now I saw the soldiers rushing in, and my heart was very excited.

After the soldier stood still, he shook his head and said, "Qi Xiao Wangniang, Li Zhen did not lead the army to attack Longtan Town. However, Li Zhen led his army to Xiashu Town. According to the news from Xiashu Town, the soldiers led by Li Zhen had already engaged the defenders of Xiashu Town, but Wang Xun, the county commander of Xiashu Town, was quite powerful and temporarily blocked Li Zhen's offensive. However, after all, the troops of Xia Shu Town are weak and will not be able to support it for long. ”

"Ahh

The guards of Xia Shu Town exclaimed in surprise, with a worried look on his face.

He stood up, clenched his fists and said, "Xiao Wangniang, Xiashu Town is in danger, and the county commander will definitely not be able to support it for long." The last general must rush back to the rescue, please forgive Xiao Wangniang, and the last general will leave. After finishing speaking, the general ignored Hong Xuanjiao's opinion and walked directly towards the outside of the hall. It can be seen that Wang Xun is quite popular with the army, otherwise the generals would not be in such a hurry to rush back.

Seeing this, the guard of Dongyang Town also spoke: "Xiao Wangniang, Xia Shu Town and Dongyang Town have cold lips and teeth. Xiashu Town was breached, and the next target was Dongyang Town. The last general will also take the soldiers to rescue Xia Shu Town, please forgive Xiao Wangniang, and the last general will leave! After finishing speaking, the guards of Dongyang Town chased after the guards of Shangshu Town in three or two steps, and walked outside while talking.

Hong Xuanjiao saw the generals leaving, and shouted: "Stop! ”

The two immediately stopped, looked back at Hong Xuanjiao, and asked, "What advice does Xiao Wangniang have?" ”

Hong Xuanjiao said in a deep voice: "As you said, Xiashu Town and Dongyang Town are one, and I agree with this statement." But I want to say that Xiashu Town, Dongyang Town, and Longtan Town are also one, and when Dongyang Town and Xiashu Town are captured, Longtan Town will be isolated and will be broken sooner or later. Ben Shuai took the army with you to rescue the town of Xiashu. ”

When the county order of Longtan Town heard it, he immediately became anxious, and said loudly: "Xiao Wangniang, you can't." If you leave Longtan Town, and Li Zhen comes back to attack Longtan Town, what should the lower officials do? ”

Hong Xuanjiao snorted and said, "Impossible! ”

The county ordered: "It's very likely! ”

Hong Xuanjiao said: "A few days have passed now, and the news should have reached the East King." When the king of the east leads the army to kill, Li Zhen will undoubtedly be defeated, and the danger of Longtan Town will naturally be lifted at that time. What you have to do now is to guard Longtan Town, stabilize the people's hearts, and leave the rest to Ben Shuai. ”

After a pause, Hong Xuanjiao said: "Let's go, follow this king to Xiashu Town." The guards of Dongyang Town and the guards of Xiashu Town were excited and left behind Hong Xuanjiao.

……

Outside the city of Nanjing, a large army rushed in.

The leader of the army was Yang Xiuqing, and Yang Xiuqing was surrounded by a thousand musketeers composed of foreign soldiers. Yang Xiuqing was also followed by 10,000 soldiers armed with muskets, all of whom had just been equipped. Yang Xiuqing was very excited when he got the news that Hong Xuanjiao had fled back and was in Longtan Town, he quickly asked Hong Xiuquan for instructions, and then led the army to the battle.

The army left Nanjing and headed in the direction of the town of Longtan. Because of the urgency of the matter, Yang Xiuqing did not dare to delay, and galloped all the way with the soldiers, eager to fly to Hong Xuanjiao's side immediately.

……

Xiashu Town, outside the city.

The barracks were solemn and uniform.

Long Xi and Huang Qiang rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army eagerly. The two came to the big tent and saluted Li Zhen, and Huang Qiang took the lead and said: "Dashuai, I have already found out the news, Hong Xuanjiao led the defenders of Longtan Town, Xiashu Town, and Dongyang Town to rush towards us, wanting to fight us to the death. ”

When Li Zhen heard this, he immediately laughed.

Long Xi continued: "Marshal, the soldiers who are monitoring the situation in Nanjing have sent back news. At present, Yang Xiuqing led more than 10,000 soldiers to kill, and another 1,000 soldiers were composed of foreigners. ”

Li Zhen said: "Well, I see. ”

After a pause, Li Zhen continued: "Yang Xiuqing set off from Nanjing, and there are still a few days to arrive. However, Hong Xuanjiao will arrive in a day at most. Now, it's time for us to deal with Hong Xuanjiao. This time, we have to win a battle. Huang Qiang's sharp knife battalion was still ambushed around Xiashu Town to prevent Wang Xun from stirring up trouble, and I led the rest of the soldiers to set off to ambush Hong Xuanjiao at the designated location. ”

"Yes!"

Huang Qiang nodded solemnly, understanding that his task was very heavy.

……

Hong Xuanjiao led the army to gallop all the way, and more than 10,000 soldiers knew that the situation was urgent, and they did not dare to delay, so they all used their strength to hurry. In particular, the soldiers in Xiashu Town hurried even faster, and they didn't care about their bodies at all. For most of the day, Hong Xuanjiao had already led the soldiers into the boundary of Xiashu Town.

At this time, Hong Xuanjiao began to be vigilant.

As she hurried, she sent someone to investigate the news ahead to make sure she was not ambushed.

After another hour of walking, the soldiers who were searching for information ran back.

The soldier stood in front of Hong Xuanjiao on horseback and respectfully reported: "Qi Xiao Wangniang, there is a fork in the road ahead. One road is through a bridge to Xiashu Town, which is the official road to Xiashu Town; In addition to this, there is another road that leads to the town of Xia Shu via a trail. Now that the bridge has been destroyed, only the trail is passable, please make a decision to Xiao Wangniang. ”

Hong Xuanjiao shouted: "Let's go, catch up and have a look." ”

She led the army on a quick journey, and soon came to the position where the soldiers were reporting.

At the eye, the road to Xiashu Town is divided into two forks, both of which lead to Xiashu Town. However, it is an avenue that crosses the bridge, as long as you cross the bridge, the speed of the road can be accelerated, and you can reach Xiashu Town in a short time. But the bridge has been destroyed, and the remaining road is a trail, which has no impact and can be passed smoothly.

"Xiao Wangniang, the bridge has been destroyed, and there is a river spreading below. If you go there, it's a little difficult! We take the trail and can rush back to Xiashu Town immediately. It was the guard of Xia Shu Town who spoke, and he looked worried.

Hong Xuanjiao shook her head and said: "You can't take the trail, you have to wade across the river and take the avenue." ”
