PS: New book for support!

If you attack for a long time, you will break it, and if you defend it for a long time, you will lose!

War is like learning, and it is important to combine work and rest. You can't tighten a string and never relax. Especially for a team like the Taiping Army, a large number of old and weak women and children followed, and if they waited for many years, this team would not have to fight, and they would all disperse.

The Western Expeditionary Army was just a desperate people, and the Taiping Army was more about running for a living and having something to eat. If you really kill Beijing City and get rid of all the Qing demons, few of these people have that grand ambition.

They are not the God-worshipping cultists who followed Hong Xiuquan and others all the way from Guangxi to Jiangning, but the latter has the ties of the township party, relatives, clans, religion, and so on, and is a team of faith. The former was only for survival, and venting his anger and dissatisfaction with the Qing court was only incidental.

Because of this, in the later stage of the Taiping Rebellion, the surrender of tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people took place.

Liu Xian waited patiently in the city for half a month, and finally, he waited for the scene he was looking forward to. On the virtual map, the red spots and clouds representing the Taiping army have changed greatly from before.

The clouds located in the rear become larger and lighter in color; The number of spots located on the front line has decreased to a certain extent, and the distribution has become uneven.

The Taiping Army's key defensive target, outside the East City, kept the number of soldiers and horses unchanged. But the other three gates of the north, south and west have been reduced by at least half.

Liu Xian's target tonight is Ximen, because tonight's blowing is the east wind, a strong wind.

Two hundred war horses were concentrated in the open space of the West Gate, and each horse was strangled and chewed, and Liu Xian personally led the team and concentrated seventy or eighty percent of the war horses in the city, which must not be lost.

If you can't make a noise, you must not be able to, and you must not provoke the vigilance of the Taiping army early.

When the time came to dawn, the sky was still gray, the moon hung on the horizon, it was still very bright, and the stars were not many anymore.

"Squeak squeak...... the sound of the gates opening.

Two hundred men and two hundred horses quietly went out through the city gates. This should be thanks to the establishment of the Guancheng and the erection of the two pillboxes in front of the city gate, which completely isolated the direct surveillance of the city gate by the Taiping army.

The distance of two miles, which two hundred horsemen could quickly cross in the past, now took the team more than a quarter of an hour.

Be careful, and under the cover of the howling wind, Liu Xian and his party were not discovered by the night sentry of the Taiping Army.

Half a month ago, when the Battle of Dongguan had just ended, the Taiping army closely monitored Chenggu County day and night, and a large number of combat forces were always ready, and they did not dare to slack off. But now, the necessary defensive barracks have been built by the Taiping army itself, and the enemy in the city has not dared to show his head for a long time, and it will be a big fuss to wait for the battle day and night.

The watchmen and garrisons at night are more than a notch lower than they were at the beginning.

"Get on the horse, jog ......"

The nearest Taiping military camp is less than one mile, and the nearest Taiping military camp is less than three miles, so there is no need to hide traces anymore.

……

Tan Fumin held a waist knife in his arms, shrunk into his arms and fell asleep in a daze under the earthen wall. He was originally a member of Li Lan's righteous army, but now he has become a Taiping soldier because of revenge.

Li Lanjun and the Taiping Army had already made an agreement early, with Chenggu as the center, and the entire Hanzhong was divided into two halves. The east belongs to Li Lanjun, and the west is the territory of the Taiping Army.

Li Lanjun has now entrenched in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, and the road to development in the future is to go north to Xuanguo and march into Guanzhong. It is not only to expand the territory, but also to build a forward station for the Taiping Army's second entry into the pass.

This is definitely in the interests of Li Lanjun. Lan Chaozhu, who had fought with Liu Xian several times, knew that Chenggu was pierced, and such a distribution with the Taiping Army was completely the Taiping Army gnawing bones and carrying the burden, and Li Lanjun ate fat and went into battle lightly.

But this is not something that Tan Fumin can accept. He wanted to avenge his brother, so he jumped into the Taiping army and became a deserter from Li Lanjun's army.

Tan Fumin, who entered the Taiping Army, became an ordinary soldier, and his treatment was better than that of Li Lanjun, but he was willing. It can be described as a typical example of bitterness and pleasure!

Tonight's camp was Tan Fumin's turn to be on duty, and he made it up to the second half of the night. Don't blame him for being confused, when he came to change the guard in the middle of the night, the man in front of him slept much more soundly than him.

One hundred soldiers, five soldiers and one brigade, with a brigade commander. Five brigades and one division, with division commanders. Five divisions and one army, with a military commander. The first army was strictly counted as 13,125 men.

The Taiping Army had a total of 95 armies, and it was impossible for Hong Xiuquan to have more than 1 million horses. Most of the Taiping Army was short of staff.

Although the divisions and brigades at the forefront of the battle line are all considered the elite of the Western Expeditionary Corps, judging from the fact that a novice like Tan Fumin can mix in, it is not much stronger.

The camp he was in was stationed at a brigade headquarters with a total number of 300 people. And the total number of his second pawns is only fifty-five.

Fifty-five men were also divided into two shifts, that is, the night guard of the entire camp was less than thirty. Many people are still sleepy like Tan Fumin, and it is strange to find Liu Xian's movements.

Tan Fumin, who was sleeping, leaned his head against the earthen wall, and suddenly he felt that the earthen wall was shaking. What's going on? Sleepy-eyed, he craned his neck, his head groggy, still unaware of the meaning of the shaking of the earthen wall.

Tan Fumin finally woke up, and the sound of horses' hooves had clearly appeared in his ears.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, enemy attack...... "The heart-rending howl sounded, Tan Fumin frantically kicked his comrades around him, "Get up, get up!" The demon is here—"

The outside of the camp is full of shadows, and Liu Xian's team is only one or two hundred meters away from the camp. It's a very close distance, and it can take you a maximum of twenty seconds to hit the horse with all your might.

"Kill......"

The horse team's jogging turned into a sprint while the torches were lit. The torch that had just been lit was blown by the wind, leaving only a sparkle of blue fire still attached to the torch head, but it would never be extinguished. These greased-soaked torches can be lit even in the light rain.

The stars and sparks joined together into a cloud of fire.

As soon as the two hundred people shouted, thousands of troops seemed to appear outside the camp. The Taiping army in the whole battalion woke up at this movement.

The brigade commander hurriedly rushed out of the tent with his knife, and when he saw the stars outside, he gasped.

He was accustomed to fighting, and immediately knew that the camp was going to be bad. I was stolen home by the stolen camp!

But—"What's the ...... How can it be? ”

Horse team night raid!!

The leader of the Qing Demon in the city didn't hear about the book, how dare he dare to lead the horse team to play a night attack?

At this moment, the commander of the Taiping Army was not ashamed of being stolen from the camp, but just wanted to grab Liu Xian's head and yell: You kicked the donkey in your brain??

But the sound of the galloping horse's hooves told him that it was an unchangeable fact. The enemy was about to attack the camp gate with elite cavalry, and the brigade commander was so confused that he couldn't judge how many people the enemy had come for a while, so he thought about one sentence over and over again, "Go to the wall, all go to the wall......

The barracks made of wood and earth were as fragile as paper in the face of gunpowder, and if the Taiping army did not block it on the wall, it would be all over!
