Qin Rigang wanted to enter Wuxi for the first time. Seeing the strength of the Red First Army and the Teaching Brigade on the battlefield, he was full of sourness. Changzhou is the city occupied by the Red Fifth Division, that Lai Yuxin is lucky, he was seriously injured when he broke the Jiangnan camp, and he caught up with the Eastern Expedition before he could recover, and he actually got the first merit. His subordinates are also good, and they can't always eat melons, so they should make everyone raise their eyebrows. Moreover, if he does not receive greater honors, not to mention his future prospects, even the entire unit will lose the opportunity to be reorganized into the Red Army. His Royal Highness King An made it clear before leaving the division that whichever unit is the first to conquer a city will receive the honor of being named after the city.

It can't but be said that although Qin Rigang has more ideas, his grasp of the entire shape is still very comprehensive, and it coincides with Lin Fengxiang's thoughts. Lin Fengxiang of Anzhen has obtained a secret report shot down from the city, in order to cooperate with the reinforcements from Suzhou who came to relieve the siege, the Qing army in the city is ready to go out of the south gate to attack the back of the heavenly army, and the troops defending the city are empty. For this reason, he deliberately quickly informed Qin Rigang that he would strive to destroy the enemy outside the city, and if possible, he would continue to fight and take the city. It just so happened that he also received the same report from Qin Rigang.

As a result, in the north and east of Wuxi, the soldiers and horses of the two roads began a huge feint attack. As soon as the deployment stopped, it was past noon, and Lin Fengxiang led the people of the headquarters and went straight to the front of the workshop. He knew in his heart that at this time, the Qing army coming out of Suzhou would no longer add much trouble to the Heavenly Army. He should be thinking more about Suzhou now.

Now everyone can see the shape on the battlefield very clearly, and the few Qing troops at the head of the South Gate City can see it even more clearly from a high position. The fluttering on the battlefield is a red, or apricot-yellow Taiping Heavenly Kingdom flag, and the dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty is rarely seen. Suzhou's reinforcements were about to come to naught. The few brothers who had escaped the siege of the Taiping army had not had time to run back, and they fell to the ground with a crisp gunfire on the way, never to get up again.

This qiē made anyone stunned, their hair tightened, their legs trembled, and there were bursts of cold air bubbling out of their backbones. “…… The Heavenly Army fought to expel the Qing captives and recover the rivers and mountains of our Han family. The Heavenly Army does not want the Han people to fight the Han people, but the Heavenly Army will not show mercy to those who betray their ancestors and are willing to advocate with the Qing captives...... "The notice of the Heavenly Army that has been shot into the city long ago and spread in the city is like an alarm bell, and it rings in the ears of the brave soldiers defending the city."

Under the city, the Taiping army, which was carrying the edge of victory, was about to prepare to attack the city with a ladder, dragging a piercing and screaming cannonball, flying into the city one after another, and suddenly smoke and dust rose and shrapnel flew.

The Qing troops in the city invariably ran down the city. The Taiping Army did what they said, and they did not break their word. Almost all the soldiers have heard the news brought by the stragglers and refugees who fled from Changzhou, and Li Kun, the prefect of Changzhou, refused to surrender because he led his troops to defend the city, and finally ended up beheaded. Outside the east gate where they used to guard, there were many green battalion soldiers in Changzhou who used to surrender and turned into soldiers of the Taiping Army, and some were even given official positions. Alas, the Han people are not the Han people, and the Han people are put aside, and after a long time, the low level of being a Han person makes everyone too lazy to mention what Han people are coming, and it is a stomach of bitter water when it is mentioned. However, it is always better to be alive than to be dead.

The soldiers gathered in one place looked at each other, and finally focused their eyes on the officer.

The general manager, who was also full of panic and seemed to have some doubts, didn't seem to see the looks of his subordinates, but his eyes were close to the city that was drowning in artillery fire, "It's coming, they're about to come in." He seemed to be talking to himself, as if he was reminding his men of something.

Zhu Xikun looked at the smoke-billowing city, and his happy mouth was like a scoop. He tightened the leather strap around his waist, which was already tight, and Cang Chang pulled out his sword and struck it twice on the sole of his boot. He believed this, and it would be more pleasant to cut people with the knife after the bar. "Brothers, follow me to kill, be the first good man to rush into Wuxi City!"

Zhu Xikun, who is a little fat, has two people's food for one person, and usually likes to snort and pant when he speaks, but at this time he is running fast, and under the treasure knife held high in his hand, there is a cluster of red silk fluttering, like a fire.

Running and running, he stopped. He saw that the south gate of Wuxi on the right suddenly opened, and a team of Qing soldiers poured out. On closer inspection, the Qing soldiers led by him kept swaying a dirty white cloth.

"Fuck it!" Zhu Xikun was like a ball full of gas, deflated all of a sudden, and somehow felt a little lost in his heart. He turned his head to look at his subordinates who were a little surprised for a while, and stomped his feet hard, "What are you still doing in a daze, the Qing Demon has surrendered to Kaicheng, why don't you rush in quickly!" ”

When Yu Wanqing led more than 20,000 soldiers to prepare to rescue Wuxi, the fast horses sent by Yiliang also arrived in Kunshan, Taicang and Changshu. The three places immediately put together more than 3,000 horses, led by Cai Yingdou, the governor of Taicang, to counterattack Jiangyin. Cai Yingdou is now full of ambition.

In order to obtain the support of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, when he did not get in touch with the Heavenly Army, Liu Lichuan originally planned to go west to join the Taiping Army as planned. He appointed the general Pan Qiliang to lead the first part of the Shanghai Righteous Army, and together with the main force of the Jiazhi Army, the first part of the kingdom, once attacked the city of Taicang Prefecture. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed by Cai Yingdou, and he happened to encounter the attack of Ding Guoen's reinforcements from Wu County, so he was forced to withdraw to Shanghai and Jiading. After that, Wang Guochu led more than 1,000 Jiazhi troops, and attacked Taicang again by land and water for the second time, but was defeated by Cai Yingdou, so he had to retreat to Jiading again. Cai Yingdou's two successful attacks forced the Little Knife Society to abandon its plan to go west to Zhenjiang at that time. If it weren't for Lin Haifeng's timely dispatch of personnel from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the Shanghai Concession, the Taiping Army would have lost the opportunity to get in touch with the Little Knife Society, and the rebel regime in Shanghai would have fought alone, and the military generals were destined to gradually fall into passivity.

Lin Haifeng's headquarters of the Eastern Route Army had been moved to a village south of Jiangyin, and the cavalry of the communications battalion were busy delivering new news and battle conditions from all sides. As soon as the Qing troops in Kunshan and Taicang entered Changshu, the General Staff Department received information.

"Your Highness, since this Cai Yingdou is arrogant and ruthless, according to his humble position, he might as well use the city to consume his strength first, and then divide his men and horses to copy his back road and wipe him out under Jiangyin City in one fell swoop." After listening to Zeng Jinfa, who was in charge of intelligence, introduced Cai Yingdou's life experience and the strength of the Qing army, Zeng Shuiyuan rubbed his hands and smiled heartily.

Huang Zaixing shook his head, "From all aspects, Cai Yingdou's purpose here is to attract the troops of the Heavenly Army in Wuxi to rescue Jiangyin, so as to reduce the burden on Wuxi, and cooperate with Suzhou reinforcements to relieve the siege of Wuxi." Therefore, he categorically did not really fight, but just a false shot. Sticking to the ministry is the purpose of starting to consume them. ”

"Minister Huang is right!" Lin Haifeng looked at Huang Zaixing and nodded, then looked at Zeng Shuiyuan and smiled, "You can't stay in the city to fight, Jiangyin has just been recovered, and the people are at peace and stick to the city, which will always give the people an uneasy mentality." If you want to fight, you will fight outside the city. Comprehensive analysis, the Qing army did not know that our heavenly army had heavy troops around Jiangyin. Didn't Cai Yingdou think he was very capable of leading troops, okay, then let's give him another chance to create a zào. Tell them that the headquarters of the Crusade Army is here, and it would be easier to ask him to come to me, which is much easier than fighting a city, right? Hehe, I don't believe it, he won't eat such a big piece of fat? ”
