Chapter 42: Pig Teammates (Collect)

Hanzhong Mansion City, under the South Zheng City.

On the third day when the camp in the west of Chenggu was burned down, the Taiping army won a battle under the city of Nanzheng, and wiped out all the rogue Lian Yong of the prefect Yang Guangshu and the newly organized 1,000 regiments of Hanzhong in one fell swoop.

The morale of the Taiping army, which had been depressed because of the attack on Chenggu, suddenly rose. Although it has not yet recovered to its original state, it has also regained the fighting spirit of victory.

There was a wailing and wailing in Hanzhong City, and countless curses and accusations poured into Yang Guangshu, and Mao Zhenshou had no choice but to suspend Yang Guangshu as a punishment. In this chaos, the truth of the matter is that Lu Youxiong paddled the water, but he fished in troubled waters and was fooled by good luck.

After the rescue of Baocheng was returned, Lu Youxiong lost his qualification to be stationed in the city. The main force of the Qing army in Hanzhong under the command of Chen Tianzhu and Wu Yun was stationed in the city of Hanzhong. Lu Youxiong was sent to Qilidian in the east of the city because of his accumulated criminal record, and his military rations were sharply reduced a lot.

Lu Youxiong's tattered team immediately complained, and Lu Youxiong himself was resentful.

So when the Taiping army attacked, when he learned that the Guerrilla Tu Dayuan Department of the Left Battalion of Hanzhong Town sent by Mao Zhenshou had been completely annihilated in Sangyuanpu, thirty miles away, Lu Youxiong left Qilidian and ran to the city of Nanzheng.

Mao Zhenshou still didn't let Lu Youxiong enter the city, so he let him and Xiao Dongsheng, Luo Yuguang, Huang Yaolong and other Hu Ben Army, Hezi Battalion, Zhennan Army and others defend Nanguan outside the city.

At that time, outside the city of Hanzhong Fucheng, the North Pass was defended by Yang Guangshu's scoundrel Lian Yong, the East Pass was defended by the battalions led by the general Xu Bangda, Du Si Mu Huaide led a thousand troops to defend the northeast corner, and the West Pass also had thousands of Lian Yong garrisoned.

When Lu Youxiong entered Nanguan, he felt that he was restrained left and right, and in a small place, four miscellaneous armies poured in, Xiao Dongsheng, Luo Yuguang, and Huang Yaolong fought against Lu Youxiong because of the small number of their own soldiers, and Lu Youxiong hated a team of members in the city even more. Even Zhou Fanshou, a relative, was cursed by him, I don't know how much.

Liang Chengfu's main force of the Taiping army marched westward, and after arriving in Hanzhong, he quickly seized all the important places around Fucheng. The Chinese army camped in the area of Ta'er Lane and Caijizi, and the large army lived in the compound of the high house east of Jingming Temple, making ladders, firearms and other siege tools. Qilidian in the east of the city, Laojun Palace, Huangjiatang, Shimapo, Hanshou Pavilion in the north of the city, Qinglongguan in the northwest, Shayanzi in the west of the city, Xinglong and Jiangxi pavilions in the south of the city are all full of barracks of the Taiping army. Dozens of miles around it are camps. The troops were stationed at various levels, the barracks were heavily arrayed, the military appearance was strictly organized, and the local officials were shocked.

None of the Qing troops in Hanzhong dared to send troops to attack, even if it was tentative.

The news of the change of ownership of Baocheng and Chuxian soon came, and then Ma Ronghe's Taiping army quickly took Ningqiang Prefecture, broke through Luoyang and Liuba, and besieged Fengxian.

Fengxiang's True God Sect thugs are uncontrollable, if the Taiping army breaks Fengxian, then the two sides will merge, and the Taiping army will really enter Weishui Pass.

Mao Zhenshou could only order troops to contain the Taiping army advancing westward. This is a war with no victory in sight, and every high-ranking person in the city knows this, even if the city uses all its forces, it will not touch the Taiping army outside the city. Keyi was going to send troops, even if an honest official like Zhang Shoudai did not object, because it was all for themselves. As long as the city sends troops, they will be blamed by the court in the future.

Zhang Shoudai is also an official!

As for the object of sending troops, of course the fifteen battalions in the city cannot, this is the descendant of Hanzhong. Neither can the generals Xu Bangda and Dusi Mu Huaide, they are also descendants. Then there are only Yang Guangshu's rogue legions and Nanguan's four motley armies.

Lu Youxiong, who received the order at that time, had a blue face, and on the second day he asked for more food and wages, and on the third day, he said that he would have a brave man under heavy rewards, and said that when he entered southern Shaanxi from our department, he tightened his belt to carry out military affairs, and his morale had long been sluggish, and as long as he donated money to the labor army, he could go out of the customs to meet the enemy. The three divisions of the Tiger Ben Army, the Hezi Battalion, and the Zhennan Army followed smoothly, and Lu Youxiong called them how they called, and it was not until the fifth day of the siege of Fengxian that Lu Youxiong led the army to open from Nanguan.

It is different from the outside of the Tiger Army, the Hezi Battalion, and the Zhennan Army, which went out for two or three miles, walked around, and came back before the guns went off. Lu Youxiong's department really inserted into the camps of the Taiping Army, and outside the Nanguan was a masterpiece of guns and cannons.

When the team returned to Nanguan, Lu Youxiong's main banner was pierced with four or five eyes, and the clean and distinctive banner before leaving the city was smoked like a rag.

Lu Youxiong became the hero of the entire city and received a reward of 3,000 taels of silver in the city. But no one knew that Lu Youxiong had already sent someone to contact the Taiping Army in the days when he was rolling around, and that day he went out of the city not to fight, but to do business.

A hundred shotguns, thirty barrels of gunpowder, and a thousand taels of silver to buy the road, the Taiping army cracked the gap and let him go around inside.

In the face of Mao Zhenshou and others, Lu Youxiong boasted a lot, saying how heroic he was and how unbearable the Taiping army was.

Lu Youxiong said that he was brave, and no one believed him. Everyone in Fucheng knew what kind of virtue he was, but Lu Youxiong said that the Taiping army was unbearable, and many people believed it. Yang Guangshu was eager to make meritorious contributions [previous article], thinking that the Taiping Army's combat strength was really unbearable, so he sent his henchmen to Nanguan to see Lu Youxiong that night.

Two days later, Lu Youxiong attacked again, and Yang Guangshu sent his own rogue army, as well as thousands of newly organized regiments in the city due to tensions, that is, the team stationed in Xiguanna, led by Wu Zhensheng Wang Xun, with the intention of flanking the Taiping army with Lu Youxiong on both sides. As a result, when the old and new regiments rushed to the agreed place with Lu Youxiong, they did not see the shadow of Lu Youxiong's army at all, but saw tens of thousands of Taiping troops waiting for them, and three or four thousand people were completely annihilated by the Taiping army in one fell swoop.

Whether it is a scoundrel or a newly formed regiment training, they are all soldiers of Hanzhong Fucheng. When the people saw that the children who were conscripted into the regimental training were so killed, they were all heartbroken, saying that Yang Guangshu's use of soldiers was like driving piglets to the market to be slaughtered, and he was justified in his name as "Yang Pig Trader".

It would have been not difficult to find out such a matter of collaborating with the enemy on the battlefield. Lu Youxiong is ready to erect the flag 'anyway', but there are many turmoil in Nanzheng City, the people's hearts are shaken, Mao Zhenshou, Zhang Shoudai and others have no intention of looking at Lu Youxiong again, and are busy appeasing the people.

If you're not afraid of god-like opponents, you're afraid of pig-like teammates!

At the head of the city, Liu Xian looked at the unkempt and degraded face at the foot of the city, and the group of captives who passed by, and couldn't help but point to the direction of Fucheng and scold. What the hell is this, it doesn't add strength but pulls back its legs!

By borrowing a fire from the east wind, he finally shocked the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city, and he was immediately hit on the head!

Pig teammates! Pig teammates -
