Lin Haifeng was lying on the bed, as if he was asleep. In fact, he didn't sleep, and when he read the map, he liked to lie down and close his eyes and think. This is still a habit he developed when he was in school, at that time, as long as there is a difficult problem, he must lie quietly, but his brain is flying, deducing all kinds of possibilities and hypotheses. Strangely, often this way, his thoughts seemed to be clearer than if he were to sit at his desk.

The battle outside the village, for him, was not worth thinking about at all. If it weren't for the next plan to seize Changshu, Cai Yingdou's 3,000 men and horses would be difficult to escape from any of them.

He still remembers that in the first four years of history, 50 British colonial policemen who invaded Rhodesia killed more than 3,000 local Zulu warriors with only four Maxim heavy machine guns. During the First World War, in order to avenge the Battle of Verdun, the Entente launched the Battle of the Somme on July 1, 1916. On the first day of the battle, the British and French troops jumped out of the trenches and rushed to the German positions, but received a strong response from hundreds of Maxim machine guns of the German army, and the British ** team fell down one by one, and a full 60,000 people died in one day.

His troops do not yet have heavy machine guns, of course, in the near future he will have. However, the spy company now has 20 sharp submachine guns and more than 100 horse rifles, and the firepower network it has built is not much inferior.

What he needs to think about now is Suzhou, but also Shanghai.

The rescue men and horses dispatched by the Qing army in Suzhou have disappeared, and the main force of more than 20,000 Qing troops, except for a small part that has escaped the net, has been annihilated. In the face of the strong pressure of the Heavenly Army, Wuxi also took it because some of the Qing troops defending the city sacrificed the city gate. Due to the continuous fighting of all units in the past few days, now the Red First Army and the Qin Rigang Department need to take a short rest.

However, it is very likely that the place of Fengqiao will become the fuse of the battle between the two armies again. Fengqiao is only more than four miles away from Suzhou City, and if it is found that only a few troops of the Red First Army have arrived there first, it is estimated that Yiliang will not sit idly by. Hehe, Suzhou is a big city, only relying on more than 10,000 people to defend, I'm afraid it will be overstretched. If some of his men and horses are killed in Fengqiao, will Suzhou be like Wuxi, and go down without a fight?

When Li Xiucheng went on an expedition to the east, Suzhou was at his fingertips because of the internal response. It seems that in order to make Hao Lisu, the political envoy of Jiangsu, know his way back, not only should he send all the guard brigades of the Red First Army to Fengqiao as the order sent to Lin Fengxiang in the evening, but he would also pull Chen Yucheng's teaching brigade up.

Moreover, Fengqiao must be guarded, where there is not only the cultural accumulation of the nation, but also wealth. But it can't be a little bit of a fire, otherwise, even the people of Fengqiao itself still have illusions about the Manchu Qing. It is necessary to give the Qing army a little chance to set fire, but it must not be too big, that is, to let the world see what the hysterical Manchu officials are like. Let's look at what the Holy Celestial Army looks like.

Also, should he go to Suzhou to do Hao Lisu's work in person, as Mr. Gu Tonglin himself requested? This matter can't be too careless, Mr. Gu is a rare character, if there is a mistake, it will be worth the loss. It would be better for him to send someone else.

As for Shanghai......

Cai Yingdou fought for nearly an hour, and finally figured it out. The open land in front of the trench opposite is not a smooth road that can be crossed in one step, but a living hell on earth made of bullets and bullets, more like a slaughterhouse. Changshu regimental training was disabled, completely lost its combat effectiveness, and the men and horses supported by himself were also half-disabled. It's about to dawn, and I'm afraid that if we continue to fight, there will be no good results.

In order to alleviate the pressure on the front, the men and horses in the north also tentatively attacked the Taiping army camp several times under his instructions, almost similar to the situation on the front, and despite the casualties, the camp was still very smooth. But then it didn't work, and the Taiping retreated into the trenches that had been dug beforehand, and after inflicting heavy casualties on his soldiers and horses to the north, they blocked it to the death.

Pitfall! Cai Yingdou suddenly sobered up. No wonder the longhairs don't break through, it turns out that they have this kind of preparation in advance, that is, to consume their own strength. Fortunately, there was no more fighting from other directions, otherwise the loss would have been even greater. Should we stop and build a camp and continue to threaten the long-haired leader, or should we come up with a thirty-six plan first? He hesitated.

Just when Cai Yingdou was in a dilemma, Chen Zongyang's more than 2,000 men and horses, and the guards of King An's Mansion commanded by Han Muyue, who were stationed in the camp in the west of the village, attacked the Qing army that was deployed here in advance. The Qing army immediately dispersed, and under the wolf, it soon shook Cai Yingdou's left flank.

Zeng Jinfa lost no time in scattering the men and horses of the communication battalion again, and the left flank of the Qing army in the south of the village also became a rout, and they swarmed towards the middle road.

A qiē was disrupted. On the one hand, Cai Yingdou organized forces to stabilize the left-wing front, and on the other hand, he planned to order the men and horses on the right wing to immediately move closer to him, and if he did not withdraw, it would be all over. At this moment, with a few strange whining sounds, a line of missiles flew over his head and exploded behind him. The dense soldiers who had originally assembled and tried to make another charge to cover his retreat were killed and wounded in an instant.

"Withdraw!" Cai Yingdou couldn't care about the right-wing or right-wing anymore, so he ran towards the way he came. The remnants of the Qing army immediately let go like sheep, discarded a qiē debris that could hinder the escape, and began to run desperately towards a target, Changshu.

The hundreds of Qing troops in the north of the village did not know that the brigade in the middle of the road had begun to retreat, and by the time they understood, it was already too late. It was this short delay that they were surrounded by the swarming Chen Guitang and the spy company, and they were forced to lay down their weapons.

Cai Yingdou, who was on the run, was very strange, and he probed left and right along the way, but he didn't find that there was a large group of Taiping troops. It's good now, it seems that the rumbling drums of war can be heard everywhere, and there are large Taiping troops that have appeared out of nowhere.

His mount was knocked down, and he had to blend in with the defeated soldiers and weigh on two legs. Oh my God, Changshu shouldn't be so far away? Looking at the faintly visible Changshu City, he seemed to have a feeling of running a dead horse in the mountains.

Gradually, the shouting and killing of the Taiping army behind seemed to weaken, and Changshu's West Gate also appeared in front of Cai Yingdou's eyes. The rout in front of him was out of breath and angry and shouted for the city, and he also took the time to turn his head. The Taiping Army, with its banners unfurled, had already stopped its pursuit in the distance. He breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, he felt his throat and eyes salty, his legs trembling, and although the sky was still fluttering with snowflakes, he felt that the sweat on his body soaked all his clothes, inside and out. He opened his mouth a few times, and with a "whoosh", a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"My lord, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, don't be in a hurry." Two intimate state soldiers who followed from Taicang hurriedly set up the unstable Lord Zhizhou and comforted him.

"Alas!" Cai Yingdou looked around weakly, and a few helpless tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes. The chaotic mess of defeated soldiers and horses no longer has the majesty and majesty before the expedition, and it is still so mighty, and there are no more than three out of ten out of ten.

The city gate opened, and Cai Yingdou was supported by the state soldiers and walked towards the city gate, "Biography... The order went down, and after entering the city, he rested a little, and hurriedly occupied Yushan, where ...... It can overlook the entire west of the city, which is convenient for the defense of the west gate......" He was almost dragged into the hole in the city gate, but his mouth was still muttering intermittently.
