The soldiers of the platoon of Yu Shengjun on the high platform of the siege vehicle outside the city seemed to be flustered when they looked at the city in the distance!

"Did you hit their big official?" A young soldier, who was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, put down his gun and said in a questioning tone.

A platoon commander next to him, who was full of beard and scum, wearing the rank of non-commissioned officer, said: "I see, even if it is not a big official, it must be an official!" ”

"But it doesn't matter who he is!" The non-commissioned officer platoon commander retracted his gaze and said: "Reload the bullets, pay attention to the observation, once you find the enemy, kill it directly!" ”

At this time, these Yu Shengjun soldiers naturally didn't know that they inadvertently hit Lin Chengting.

Lin Chengting was wounded by Yu Shengjun's bullets when he was inspecting the enemy situation at the head of the city, and many high-ranking generals of the Taiping Army who got the news hurriedly ran to Lin Chengting's accommodation.

Among these people, there is naturally Dong Yanghong, he arrived in the afternoon, but he can only go in and take a look from afar before coming out and waiting with the others.

Listening to a few Lang Zhong in the army, Lin Chengting was hit by the Qing Demon's spear and hit the position below his right shoulder.

If you are hit by a bullet in the right shoulder, if you have modern medical conditions, it is not a problem, disinfect and take the bullet, and then do a good job of postoperative protection to prevent postoperative infection.

But the problem is that it is only 1854, and the level of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine is extremely inferior compared to modern medicine.

Because the buckshot is poisonous, the lead bullet can not be left in the body, after the generals of the Taiping Army rescued Lin Chengting, in order to dig out the lead bullet, the Taiping Army's own military doctor first tried to take it out, but found that the lead bullet was very deep into the flesh, and there were flesh and bones to block it, and he was busy for a long time and could not take it out.

In the end, he had to find a Lang Zhong from the city, and this Lang Zhong was trembling while cutting the flesh to get the bullet under the threat of the Taiping soldiers, and finally it took a lot of time to get the lead bullet out.

And in the process of taking the bullet, whether it was this Lang Zhong or the previous military doctor of the Taiping Army who took the bomb by himself, he did not use any anesthetic for Lin Chengting, although he had poured a lot of wine in advance, but Lin Chengting still died in pain during the whole process.

By the end of the evening, he had passed out in the last living pain, and he still hadn't woken up!

And more importantly, these people know what to disinfect and prevent infection, after so many people toss, it is difficult for Lin Chengting not to be infected.

At night, Dong Yanghong looked at the military doctor who had just come out of the house, and hurriedly stepped forward: "How is the military marshal?" ”

The military doctor sighed and said, "Although the lead bullet has been taken out, the commander has lost too much sperm and blood."

The military doctor didn't dare to say anything too direct, but the meaning was obvious, and now Lin Chengting's situation was very bad!

When Dong Yanghong walked into the house, he saw Lin Chengting lying on the bed weakly, his face pale, and he only heard him say in an incomparably empty voice: "Pass the order, withdraw the troops, and we will leave tonight!" ”

At this time, in addition to Dong Yang Infrared, there were seven or eight other senior generals of the Taiping Army in the house, and as soon as these people heard Lin Chengting's words, many of them immediately changed their faces, and one of them said: "Military commander, now our army is as stable as Mount Tai in guarding Guangde, and if you want to leave, won't your previous achievements be wasted!" ”

Although Lin Chengting's situation was very bad, his pale face seemed to be very difficult to even open his eyes, but his eyes were still sharp: "Master Chen, are you going to resist the order?" ”

That Chen Shishuai hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down: "The department doesn't dare, it's just ......"

Looking up at Lin Chengting's eyes again, he immediately swallowed back the words behind him, and then said, "The ministry is ordered!" ”

Immediately, the other generals also bowed their heads one after another and said yes, and then they all went out one after another, if they gathered their troops to evacuate.

At this time, Dong Yanghong also went out, and then called a brigade commander next to him and said: "Brigade Marshal An, hurry up and prepare, as a military marshal, your brigade is a military marshal, please be sure to escort the military marshal to evacuate safely!" ”

An Lushuai said: "This is natural, the sons and daughters under my command have already begun to prepare, Master Dong, will you go with us then?" ”

Dong Yanghong shook his head: "I'm afraid that my cavalry is going to be the queen of the palace, otherwise how can you go?" ”

The evacuation of the army requires a post-break force, and this post-break must be an elite!

Considering that once their own army retreats, Yu Shengjun will definitely come to pursue, and the fastest men and horses sent by Yu Shengjun to pursue will definitely be their cavalry.

The only one who can stop Yu Shengjun's cavalry will not be entangled by them, and the only one who can get out at any time is Dong Yanghong's cavalry.

Although he was already seriously injured, after giving a series of orders, Lin Chengting fell into a coma again, accompanied by a high fever.

However, Lin Chengting's prestige in the army was still unstoppable, and the other generals integrated their troops according to the orders issued by Lin Chengting when he was fresh before, and then quietly went out of the city in batches.

However, although the preliminary preparations were concealed from Yu Shengjun, when they left the north gate, they were discovered by some Yu Shengjun soldiers stationed at the north gate.

Due to the small number of troops, Yu Shengjun's troops surrounded Guangde City on all sides, but in fact, most of the troops were concentrated on the side of the East City Gate, and the troops in the other three directions were very small, mainly based on surveillance.

The company commander who led the team at first thought of holding on to the death and resolutely resisting the enemy's attack, but when he saw the torches raised by the Taiping army out of the city, he guessed that there would be at least a few thousand people, so he just took the soldiers to shoot a few rounds casually, and then simply retreated with the soldiers.

Without much resistance, the Taiping army's brigade withdrew from the north gate, and then withdrew directly to the north.

Although in order to prevent Yu Shengjun from judging his strategic intentions and the detailed number of troops in the dark night, only some of the soldiers who left the city from the north gate carried torches.

At the same time, a considerable number of soldiers were also sent to the West City Gate, the South City Gate and even the East City Gate, one soldier and two torches pretended to be a momentum, and even sent troops to attack Yu Shengjun's camp at the risk of death, the purpose of which was naturally not to break through Yu Shengjun's camp, but just to cause some chaos to Yu Shengjun, so that the main force retreating north could buy more time.

Tens of thousands of people poured out from the four city gates, and their momentum was incomparable, and when they looked out of the air, they saw four huge fire dragons slowly advancing in the darkness.

The Taiping army's move was so big that they couldn't hide it at all or didn't intend to hide it at all, so from the first moment they left the city, the soldiers of Yu Shengjun got the news, and then reported the situation to several officers on duty in time.

Lin Anfei, the commander of the second battalion on duty, did not dare to slack off, at this time he was not sure whether the Taiping army was going to escape or say that it was going to attack at night, but whether they wanted to flee or come to the night attack, the Taiping army that poured out of the nest needed Yu Shengjun to deal with it with all his might

Therefore, he immediately ordered the troops on duty, that is, the second battalion under his command, to be on alert, and at the same time urgently reported the military situation, sounded the combat alert, and asked the soldiers of the whole army to get up immediately to prepare for battle.

Of course, he naturally wouldn't forget to call Lin Zhe, the commander, too, and he was too busy to leave, so he sent his deputy to tell Lin Zhe in person.

When Lin Zhe was woken up, after hearing that a large number of Taiping troops were coming out of the north gate, he immediately said: "Are they going to attack at night or retreat?" ”

"It's not very clear yet, but our army has observed that the enemy has a large number of people out of the city at the four city gates, judging by the number of torches, there are at least 3,000 people on the north gate, 3,000 on the west gate, at least 2,000 at the south gate, and only 1,000 people on the east gate, but this is only judged by the number of torches, and there is a great difference.

Therefore, we can't judge the main force of the enemy army for the time being, and now that Battalion Commander Xu has issued an urgent combat readiness order, how to follow up with the commander! ”

"How is our army camp? Is there an enemy attack on the camp? ”

"I just discovered that some of the thieves tried to attack our camp from the east city gate, but they have been repelled by my second battalion, and a large number of thieves have also been found in the south gate, west gate, and north gate directions, and the garrison has exchanged fire with them!"

Lin Chengting: Is this going to escape? But even if he wants to retreat, there is no need to retreat overnight, isn't he afraid that his troops will be scattered directly at night?

Moreover, the Taiping Army also sent a large number of troops to attack their camp, could it be that Lin Chengting really wanted to carry out a large-scale night attack?

For a while, Lin Zhe really couldn't judge Lin Chengting's true strategic intentions, and now the black light is blinding, and it is impossible to judge the enemy's strength and type of troops from the torches.

Now, Lin Zhe can't even figure out which direction the main force of the Taiping Army is, the only thing he knows is that the main force of the Taiping Army has poured out.

After all, judging from the number of torches, the Taiping army dispatched at least 10,000 people, even if the number of them is very different, but there should be six or seven thousand people, otherwise it is impossible to have such a big momentum, and there must be a degree of momentum fraud, and it is impossible to have it silently.

So Lin Zhe put on his military uniform and said: "Pass the order, the whole army will be on strict guard, repel the enemy who dares to approach, and send scouts to the other three city gates, I need to know where the main force of the thief army is!" ”

No matter what the Taiping Army wants to do, Lin Zhe knows that the most important task now is to stabilize the camp, so as not to give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it, as for what to do in the future, you need to know what Lin Chengting wants, even if you can't figure out what Lin Chengting wants to do for the time being, but you have to first understand where the main force of the Taiping Army is.

And once you find out where the main force of the Taiping Army is, you can make tactical arrangements accordingly.

It's a pity that tonight's sky is too weak, not to mention that the moon is high, there are not a few sparse dark stars, the whole earth is pitch black, and you can't see your fingers, so dark has brought great trouble to Yu Shengjun's reconnaissance action, and the reconnaissance cavalry who attacked had to advance with torches high, but the Taiping army was not blind, and they didn't drive you away when they saw you coming with artillery.

This night, whether it was the Taiping army or the Yu Sheng army, in fact, it was extremely chaotic, although the Taiping army had prepared for several hours in advance, but how could it be so easy for the army of tens of thousands of people to retreat, and it was very natural for chaos to occur in the whole retreat process.

As for Yu Shengjun, because he has not been able to figure out where the main force of the Taiping Army is, and the Taiping Army sends troops to attack the camp from time to time, for the sake of safety, Yu Shengjun has adopted a very conservative strategy, except for sending a small number of troops out to investigate, the main force has been hugging in the camp and waiting.

When the night faded and the red early sun brought light to the earth, the Yu Shengjun scouts who had not been able to figure out the movements of the Taiping Army finally figured out where the main force of the Taiping Army was!

After learning that a large number of people and horses of the Taiping army had left Guangde and retreated to the north, Lin Zhe said with a smile: "If they have been hiding in Guangde City, I am afraid it will take a long time, but now they have taken the initiative to go out of the city, this is the opportunity given to us by God!" ”

"The whole army immediately marched and caught up!"
