Cai Yingdou led his troops out of Changshu when he first handed over his son, and avoided the village along the way, until he was four or five miles away from the target Xuejiazhuang, and he stopped the team.

From the outside, the earth seemed to be held by a huge iron pot, and it was pitch black, and the scattered villages were not submerged in this black sea, and in the distance, there were occasionally a few weak dog barks.

At some point, the sky was filled with rare snowflakes. Alas, this year's weather is a bit unusual! Cai Yingdou sighed, while instructing the battalions to seize the time to take a break and restore their spirits, while waiting for the return of the horses everywhere. Plus, he's still waiting for the best time. To attack at the time of entering the fifth watch, that time is the time when people are most sleepy and sleepy.

The soldiers of the sentry returned one after another, and the condition was normal, and there was no sign of the Taiping army gathering on both wings. There were only a few Taiping military camp tents scattered on all sides of Xuejiazhuang, and there were sentries dozing at the gate of the barracks with weapons.

Cai Yingdou summoned a few generals under him, estimated that the time was almost up, he first sent out two sentinels to be responsible for the security of the left and right wings, and sent more than 100 people to lurk in the west of the village to prevent the village Changmao from fleeing west. Then he began to order the Changshu regiment to train and launch an attack on the Taiping army camp in the east. He was to concentrate the remaining forces into a fist and break through from the east in one fell swoop.

According to Cai Yingdou's instructions, the Qing army, which had all tied white cloth on its left shoulder as an identification mark, began to move forward.

"Smack!" A crisp gunshot broke the silence of the night.

As the sentry's alarm gun sounded, Chen Tingxiang quickly rushed out with a platoon on fire that had been waiting in the camp tent, but they did not go to block the camp gate, but after firing a burst of platoon guns in a "hurry", they turned around and ran to the rear camp gate.

Chang skillfully and easily rushed into the eastern base of the Taiping army, and his morale was greatly shaken. But further forward, they encountered the stubborn resistance of the Taiping army, which seemed to have just woken up and relied on the cover of the back wall of the camp, and they could not attack several times.

"My lord, the east base has been breached."

"My lord, in the face of the resistance of the long-haired musketeers, the brothers suffered many casualties."

It didn't take long for Cai Yingdou to be overjoyed, and he received a report that the offensive of the front army was blocked and he asked for support. He had already heard the sound of gunfire in front of him, and he was not surprised to encounter the foreign guns of the Taiping Army here. For the sake of money, the foreign devils in the Shanghai Concession ostensibly shouted neutrality, but they smuggled guns everywhere without asking who the buyers were. Moreover, as the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, since he dared to leave a few guards by his side, he didn't rely on the power of foreign guns.

However, foreign guns are not so terrible. He had seen that thing, and it would take half a day to load the second bullet when he shot a bullet, and as long as there were many people, he was not afraid that he would not be able to rush over. Cai Yingdou gritted his teeth and ordered loudly at a commander beside him, "Go into battle immediately, tell the brothers that you must be fierce and fast, and you must not stop rushing upwards in one breath, so that the advantage of the long-haired foreign spear can be lost." ”

Chang Shuyong, who received support, together with the reinforcements who had recuperated and recharged, attacked several times and finally broke through the defense line of the Taiping army. The Taiping defenders began to "retreat" like rabbits.

The fighting spirit of the Qing army doubled, and they shouted and chased after them. Who didn't expect to chase it far, and when I saw it, I reached the edge of the village, and the long-haired people who were "running away from the wolf" dozens of steps ahead suddenly disappeared. Before he could understand what was going on, a tongue of fire flashed almost against the ground, and the soldiers who could not contain their feet fell to the ground one by one like stakes in the more intense, dense, and fierce gunfire than before.

Under this sudden and extremely unfamiliar blow, the Qing army's offensive came to an abrupt end.

Cai Yingdou still seems to be very sober. The closer to the end, the more tenacious the resistance of the long hair will be, the camp defended by the danger is gone, and the long hair is relying on the trench to make the last stubborn resistance, perhaps to buy time for their "pseudo-prince" to escape. Hehe, I can't run. The news transmitted from all sides at any time has already told him, and Long Hair has no signs of breaking through for the time being. Is it better to stay on demand? Then the overall strategic purpose of the Governor has been achieved.

He ordered the troops on the left and right flanks to strengthen their vigilance to prevent reinforcements from the Taiping army from arriving in the direction of Jiangyin, Changzhou, and Wuxi. At the same time, the generals in front of him were strictly ordered to tear through the last line of defense of Longhair with a bold and fierce attack, and the first to rush into the village was rewarded. Those who are officials are promoted to three levels, and those who are soldiers will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and if they are captured or killed by their "pseudo-King An", they will be protected and rewarded richly. He didn't even think about it, he was a low-end grade, what would others be like after being promoted to three levels in a row? Anyway, just say that, motivate and motivate the courage of your subordinates.

There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and there will always be those who will not die for the sake of money and officials. Besides, the barracks are all broken, and there is nothing black in front of you, isn't it just a trench, and you can pass it in one step.

The tide of Qing troops came up in waves, retreated, and surged up again......

Chen Tingxiang looked at the submachine gun in the hand of Liu Mingyuan, the leader of the fourth platoon beside him, which kept spraying flames, his throat and eyes were dry with envy, and his heart began to itch again. Pistols are not fun! Last time, he was dead-faced, taught a lesson, and scared, what "You are a platoon commander, a commander, not an ordinary soldier, what's the use of using a submachine gun?" "It's a good brain, not just a gun." And "You don't want to be cheap in the future, can't you be ranked?" And so on, from Liu Mingyuan's hand, he simply relied on the submachine gun. He didn't dare this time. His Royal Highness King An is generous, and he has not delved into his mistakes, but he should be more stable in the future and stop making trouble for His Highness.

He simply didn't even shoot a gun, and died against the Qing demons who were swarming up in front of him, "Concentrate on the left, yes, hit the right side again, and hit the ...... lying on the ground" He pressed the edge of the ditch with one hand, most of his body was exposed outside the trench, swinging the six-round gun in his hand, and kept shouting loudly.

"Chen Tingxiang!" With a loud shout, Huang Zaixing ran over along the trench and pressed Chen Tingxiang's shoulder hard, "Looking for death, what is the ordinance?" I think you're trying to get sick again. ”

"Yo, it's Minister Huang," Chen Tingxiang hurriedly lowered his waist, and pulled Huang Zaixing behind him, hehe laughed dryly, "Minister Huang, I'm here to facilitate the command." What do you command? ”

"You, if you don't change the stinky problem, sooner or later I will withdraw you and tell you to go to the logistics to fight the shells." Huang Zaixing glared at him fiercely, "You don't need to do anything here, hurry up and go to the camp in the west of the village to find Han Muyue, and have another task." ”

"Yes!" Chen Tingxiang agreed, and stabbed Liu Mingyuan next to him, "I'm leaving, it's under your command here." He had just run two steps ahead, turned his head and saw that Minister Huang had not followed, so he turned around and ran back.

"Why did you come back again?" Huang Zaixing crouched on the trench, staring at the Qing army in front of him who had just been beaten and fled, and asked without looking back.

"Minister Huang, it's dangerous here, you can't stay here. Our company has its own order of command before the battle, they will master the company, you have to leave, don't affect my troops. Chen Tingxiang didn't have any room for negotiation, so he dragged Huang Zaixing.
