Since he couldn't say so many words, Lin Haifeng naturally turned the conversation away. He looked at Zuo Zongtang for a while, and in the memory of Liu Xianghe, who was the only one present at the time, the way her husband looked at Zuo Zongtang was almost the same as when he hugged himself on horseback and went to "deal with" his subordinates who were shouting and shouting and wanted to drink happy wine.

"This is going to the northwest, or the same sentence, we must grasp it with both hands, and we must make the northwest a great foundation for the Celestial Empire. It's easy to kill people and set fires, but it's hard to actually build a place. ”

Zuo Zongtang left Beijing with some doubts, but these doubts were slowly solved by himself in the following time. According to the records of his opponents, he slaughtered many opponent generals who dared to fight against him, and some of them even had high titles. However, not only did he and his men never treat their opponent's ordinary soldiers in this way, but treated them with great courtesy. It is said that after a certain battle, Zuo Zongtang personally led hundreds of generals and hundreds of generals around him, and together with thousands of soldiers of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire, he once held a solemn funeral for the opponent soldiers who died in the garrison of the fortified city due to resisting the attack of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire. That scene is said to have shocked the hearts of countless people in the hostile city at that time, so much so that hundreds of years later, they still remember it. Not to mention the people, even those opponents who have fought against the Northwest Red Army, no matter how unhappy they are, as long as they mention the Northwest Red Army of the Celestial Empire, they always have to extend their thumbs and praise in admiration, "This is the army of Allah (God)!" ”

In August 1856, Lin Haifeng, the most piled up on the table was the good news from various battlefields.

Lai Yuxin's Red 24th Army set off at Maojindu, although it was facing the main force of the Manchu Loyal and Righteous Salvation Eighth Association under the command of Cen Yuying in Pinglu County on the opposite bank, but it launched a powerful surprise attack on the front without any scruples. In a hurry, Cen Yuying used the power that he could use to resist to the death. The advance guard of the Red 24th Army barely landed on land several times, but was counterattacked by Cen Yuying's strong reserve forces, and the Red 24th Army, which could be transferred from a sneak attack to a forced crossing, was still in the limelight of the offensive.

Facing the strong pressure of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire, Cen Yuying thought about it again and again, and finally decided to transfer most of the last men and horses stationed on the front line of Bailangdu. With the battle in Maojindu, Cen Yuying did not forget to pay attention to the intelligence on Bailangdu's side. The flying news that Bai Langdu would send almost as soon as he was a tea kung fu made him feel at ease, because there was not the slightest abnormality there. Although there is no hostile situation, it is not easy to really move the military horses there. After all, Pinglu is more than 30 miles away from Bailangdu, and once the military horses are mobilized, if they want to go back, I am afraid it will not be a matter of a while and a half.

After struggling for an hour, Cen Yuying still couldn't bear it. The artillery fire of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire not only exploded on the shore, but also unscrupulously entered the city, gradually suppressing the artillery fire of its own artillery team, and ferries and rafts gathered on the river, and the offensive was higher and higher. Things are so coincidental, when he issued the order to mobilize the troops and horses stationed in Bailangdu, it was estimated that the time was just over an hour after Zeng Zhengan received his order, and he received an urgent report from Zeng Zhengan, "Bailangdu is lost, and a large number of Taiping Red Army troops have landed at Bailangdu Ferry.

Seeing Zeng Zhengan's urgent request, Cen Yuying almost went crazy. The old Zeng family is really a scum, your Zeng Zhengan's head won't grow to the ass, right? The fire burns your eyebrows, you quickly take back your own defense, and ask him for a ball! "Immediately recover Bailangdu for this official, if Bailangdu is lost, you Zeng Zhen will do it yourself!" The so-called "self-convenience", that is actually just an elegant wording, to put it bluntly, you Zeng Zhen did something to wipe his neck, don't add to the blockage of the official.

What is the final situation on Zeng Zhengan's side, Cen Yuying has not yet gotten the exact news, and Pinglu's side has exploded. I don't know which bastard around me is talkative, the "gossip" of Bai Langdu's loss seems to have grown wings, and it spreads all at once in Pinglu City and on the defensive position to the ferry. The soldiers were not fools, although the Shangguan tried their best to refute the rumors, but they saw that some of the military horses not only did not support the precarious defensive line in front, but instead started to fall behind, and it is said that they rushed to Bazheng Fort, a few miles northeast of the county seat, to build a new line of defense in case of emergency. This time, it is self-evident that the "gossip" is undoubted.

Bailangdu was lost, and as soon as the Taiping Red Army came ashore, once it entered Bazheng Fort again, what was the result? There's no way back! How much combat power does the army have without a back road?

As a field commander, Zeng Zhen was confused and delayed the correct choice he should have. Neither the initial return to the original path nor the reckless advance into the flat land cannot be wrong. And Cen Yuying was then confused, but not only ruined the lives of nearly a thousand loyal and righteous soldiers brought out by Zeng Zhengan, but also directly led him to the lack of troops trapped in Pinglu City.

With the news of Bailangdu's breakthrough, Lai Yuxin "reinvigorated" and won Maojindu in one fell swoop. As soon as the four leading battalions led by Lai Wenhong, commander of the 94th Red Division, landed on the shore, he immediately bluffed the troops on the north bank and reached the city of Pinglu, so as to consolidate the landing field and cover the fleet's rapid return to the south bank to pick up the follow-up brigade. At the same time, he was even more bold, strictly ordering the troops of the two battalions to ignore whether they would be outflanked by the prominent Manchu army in Pinglu City, bypassed Pinglu City as quickly as possible, and directly appeared behind the defenders of Bazheng Fort to launch a surprise attack. was coerced by some of the temporarily captured people, busy building a temporary "stone city", sweating profusely for the loyalty of a battalion to save **, under the blow of the sudden Celestial Empire Red Army, before Cen Yuying in the city could react to what was going on, he was wiped out early.

The loss of Bazheng Fort made Cen Yuying really stupid. He could never have imagined that this was the Taiping Red Army from Maojindu, which had just landed, but he really believed that Zeng Zhengan of Bailangdu had completed his historical mission. Is the Taiping Red Army really iron-clad? Is it really General Fei? It's only been a long time, and they have actually swept thirty miles to the front of them.

When Cen Yuying in the city began to think about whether to run or stay like Liu Yuezhao, in fact, the battle on Bailangdu's side was not over at all. An entire division led by Chen Kunshu, deputy commander of the Red 24th Army, made full use of Zeng Zhengan's hesitation, not only quickly cleared out the remnants of the enemy in front of him when he landed on the shore, but also temporarily arranged a pocket for Zeng Zhengan to surround Zeng Zhengan, who had just been pulled out but quickly and honestly got in according to Cen Yuying's instructions. When Zeng Zhen sighed, followed Cen Yuying's "self-convenience", and finally picked up the short gun supported by the Russian allies and pointed it at his temple, at that time, the rooster had just crowed for the first time. And by the time Chen Kunshu arrived at Bazheng Fort non-stop, a round of blood-red sunrise had already jumped out of the mountain beam in the east.
