Zeng Shuiyuan was not satisfied with the assignment of the Third Army, he always felt that there was a kind of ruffian atmosphere permeating the Third Army, the soldiers spoke in a fluent manner, and the officers behaved exaggeratedly, sometimes gathering crowds to gamble, and the superior officers either gambled together or turned a blind eye. For this reason, he complained to the king of Han several times, Li Yunzhong was moved by him, and he also felt that the combat effectiveness of the third army, which was used as the main force, could not be too far behind the first army and the second army, so he instructed Zeng Shuiyuan to act cheaply.

Zeng Shuiyuan, who had received the 'holy decree', carried out drastic reforms, first of all, he removed half of the grass-roots officers and held a martial arts competition. Zeng Shuiyuan, who was not enjoyable to watch, also played in person, and stipulated that the person who won him would be a big official, and those who could go a few rounds could also be a small official, and the others could only be small soldiers.

In this way, after the whole army, the officers of the Third Army knew how powerful he was, and even the division commanders Zhou Guotai and He Lu were beaten by him several times, and they all became honest at once.

Zhou Guotai was panting, sweating profusely, and ran over and said: "The terrain of this bunker city is a bit high, and many brothers have slipped and rolled down before they even touch the walled gate." I don't know how they attacked the dragon's neck? ”

Taking a breath and taking a sip of water, Zhou Guotai continued: "Commander, why don't we work together to break through the dragon neck camp first, and then turn back to fight the bunker city?" ”

Zeng Shuiyuan shook his head and said, "The Dragon's Neck and Bunker City are each other's horns, and they must be separated, otherwise the two places will support each other." ”

Zhou Guotai worried: "There is only one day left before the time stipulated by the King of Han to meet in Xiaolingwei, if we still ......"

Zeng Shuiyuan waved his hand and interrupted: "The Qing army in this bunker city is not comfortable, by the way, what happened to the two hundred foreign spear team allocated to us by His Royal Highness the King of Han?" ”

Zhou Guotai didn't understand why the commander suddenly mentioned them, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "Those dolls are all behind, obedient, tell them not to run around, they have always been in that place." ”

Zeng Shuiyuan obviously didn't value those children, and his understanding of foreign guns was limited to Huotong, so he said to Zhou Guotai: "You go and transfer them to release guns outside the bunker city, which can somewhat disturb the enemy's attention, so that it will be easier to attack." ”

Zhou Guotai said: "Now I really have no choice but to catch the ducks on the shelves, so I will transfer them up." ”

Huang Jinwen finally waited for the order to let the musket team attack, although he only asked them to release their guns outside the bunker city, Huang Jinwen had already understood the terrain around the bunker city, and led all the people of the foreign gun team to climb the high ground on the right side of the bunker city, so that the front line of the bunker city was within the range of the muskets, and ordered to shoot freely at the enemy.

Watching their partners fall under the foreign guns one by one, and they could only watch the enemy continue to shoot, without the slightest return, the wolf rushed, and after the staff general commanded by the front line was killed, the Qing army finally collapsed.

Zhou Guotai watched the musketeers beat the Qing soldiers out of the way, waved his hand to let the soldiers behind him continue to attack, and when the Qing army was defeated, the third army also attacked the bunker city as a matter of course.

After Zeng Shuiyuan broke through the bunker city, he led the army to the dragon's neck 2 miles away, joined He Lu, and used the same method to kill the Qing army camp, the Qing soldiers were trapped in the valley, the soldiers had no heart to fight, and finally all surrendered.

Xiang Rong felt more and more that the end of the Jiangnan camp was coming, and there was news that the camp was broken everywhere, and a total of more than 30,000 people were lost in the past two days.

Fuxing said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect the anti-thief soldiers to be so prosperous, since the attack, the momentum is like a bamboo, and now the Jiangnan camp has been divided into three sections, Longtan and Xianhemen are counted as a section, our Xiaolingwei and Qiqiao urn are also a section, and Lishui, Liyang, and Jurong are a section. What part do you say the thieves will destroy first? ”

Wang Jun shook his head, his face was like ashes, and he said in despair: "Xiaolingwei is only 5 miles away from Chaoyang Gate in Nanjing, and it is where the headquarters of the Jiangnan Battalion is located, and the number of troops is not as large as the other two, of course the thieves will ...... first."

Xiang Rong patted the desk hard, and said angrily: "Look at how scared you are, if you disturb the morale of the army again, you will not be spared." ”

After a while, Wang Jun whispered: "Just now, the spies came to report that some anti-thieves occupied Xiaoshuiguan. ”

Xiang Rong felt a burst of boredom in his heart, his head was even more dizzy, and he said bitterly: "The vicinity of Xiaoshuiguan is the place where we must pass when we retreat to Su Chang, and it is also the place where Zhang Guoliang and they are going to pass by when they come back, what should you do?" ”

Fuxing said: "Why don't we retreat to the Qiqiao urn and go to Lishui?" ”

Xiang Rong said: "The tens of thousands of horses of Zhang Guoliang and Pan An are the meat on the board, and they are slaughtered by others, and when the emperor blames them, no one can afford it." ”

Wang Jun said: "Then do you still want to rescue them?" It's just that we can't save ourselves, there is! It's better to let them break through and meet in Suzhou together. ”

Xiang Rong couldn't think of any good way, so he agreed: "Let Zhang Guoliang and Pan An join forces to attack Xiaoshuiguan, and we will prepare to withdraw to the Qiqiao Urn tonight." ”

Everyone understands that the dead friends are not poor people, and if they break through the siege first, the success rate will be one point greater, and let Zhang Guoliang drag the pursuers behind, and the success rate will be one point greater.

On June 10th, today was the day when Li Yunzhong gathered the three armies to prepare for the attack on Xiaolingwei, and Shi Dakai and Zeng Shuiyuan led their troops to converge one after another.

Li Yunzhong ordered the artillery to open fire with all its might, the musketeers stepped forward to cover, and the army stepped forward to attack the camp.

Shi Dakai frowned and looked at the battalion that was not resolutely resisting, and said to Li Yunzhong: "The situation is not right, how can it be so easy to attack it?" Is there a fraud? ”

After a while, Zeng Shuiyuan, who was in charge of attacking the camp, reported that there were only more than 10,000 old and weak left in the village, and Xiang Rong and others withdrew last night with 4,000 elites.

Li Yunzhong was stunned, as if he had hit the cotton with a strong fist.

Zeng Shuiyuan said: "The camp in the south of the Yangtze River is really vulnerable, from now on our Han army can rest assured to attack Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, congratulations to the King of Han, get what you want." ”

Shi Dakai said: "The Qing soldiers still have tens of thousands of horses in the area of Xianhemen and Longtan Town, should we intercept them now?" ”

Li Yunzhong said: "Now that the city of Nanjing is a little empty, the Third Army will send a division back to the city first, and the rest will follow me to intercept Zhang Guoliang." ”

Zeng Shuiyuan became excited and said: "Zhang Guoliang is very brave and abnormal, and he often comes to provoke, but I didn't expect him to have today." ”

Shi Dakai also sighed: "When we attacked Guilin, it was Zhang Guoliang who risked his life to lead his troops into the city, which greatly strengthened Guilin's city defense forces, causing us to fall short. ”
