Chapter 323: Siege Break

The advance team led the way, Duan Hu and the others led the army to follow, and everyone hurried to the destination. In less than half an hour, they had already rushed to the outside of Li Hongzhang's station.

Li Hongzhang got the report, and together with Luo Zenan, Peng Yulin hurried out.

When Hu Linyi saw Li Hongzhang and the others coming out, he hurriedly turned over and fell off the horse, took a few steps forward, his hand holding the reins shook slightly, his face was excited, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

Seeing Hu Linyi, Li Hongzhang and others could not hide their excitement.

When the two sides reached a distance of about two meters, they stopped, no one moved, and time seemed to be frozen at this moment.

"General Hu, it's hard work." With the passage of time, it was Li Hongzhang who took this step first, only to see him suddenly step forward, stretch out his hand and hold Hu Linyi's hands tightly.

"Strategist, I can't see it anymore." Hu Linyi shook his hands tightly with Li Hongzhang, his voice was hard, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"It's good to come back safely, it's good to come back safely!" Li Hongzhang noticed that his voice had also changed.

"Strategist..."Hu Linyi called out to Strategist, and he couldn't say any more.

"Alright, alright, General Hu, everything is in the past, in the past. Looking back on this battle, we should be glad that we thought that the whole army would be annihilated here, but who would have thought that we would be able to get out of this great difficulty. Although the brothers were injured, fortunately, several generals were safe and sound, which is a blessing in misfortune, and I can be regarded as having an explanation for the commander." Li Hongzhang comforted Hu Linyi while expressing the emotion in his heart.

"Strategist, the marshal has arrived." Hu Linyi calmed down his excitement and said to Li Hongzhang.

"Really? Is this true? Is Da Shuai really here? No wonder the Qing army ran so fast, I was still wondering, this moment ago, the Qing army couldn't swallow us before they were willing, why did they turn around, but they ran faster than rabbits, it turned out that the big handsome man came." When Li Hongzhang heard this, he was overjoyed and said excitedly.

"Strategist, it's true." Hu Linyi looked at Li Hongzhang's excited face, smiled and nodded.

"Where is the big handsome now?" Li Hongzhang seems to be unable to wait to go to Zeng Guofan.

"Military advisor, this is General Duan Yihu, the vanguard officer of Zeng Dashuai, and he knows better than me about the situation of Dashuai." Hu Linyi pointed to Duan Yihu beside him and introduced Li Hongzhang.

Hu Linyi then roughly talked about Duan Yihu leading the army to relieve him from the siege and his intention to go to the rescue of Li Hongzhang.

"Duan Yihu has seen the military division, and the name of the military division has long been broadcast in the Taiping Army, and now I am fortunate to see the face of the military division, which is really a blessing for three lives." Duan Yihu often heard people mention the name of Li Hongzhang in the past, and knew that this person was the brains of the Qing army, and he didn't dare to slack off when he met today.

"General Duan is polite, if it weren't for General Duan's help, maybe General Hu would have been... Alas, General Duan, your great kindness, our Hunan army has written it down." Li Hongzhang said solemnly.

"Strategist, don't say that, I'm just acting on the orders of the marshal, I didn't expect to save General Hu by chance, as for the matter of going to help, it's not to mention it, the strategist and you have already escaped, a tiger has no size, I really don't dare to be a military advisor so thankful." I don't know what the reason is, since this Yihu followed Huang Xu, it seems that he has changed as a person, and he is no longer as domineering as before.

This can only be said that Huang Xu, this kid, is charming!

"Okay, General Duan treats people with sincerity, is meritorious but not arrogant, he is really a model for my generation of soldiers, no matter what, your kindness, the Hunan army has recorded it." Li Hongzhang stretched out his thumb and praised.

"Strategist, no, really no, we are all a family, regardless of each other, I really don't need to be so polite." Duan Yihu waved his hand again and again, and said.

"General Duan is really a man of temperament, since this is the case, then I will not be polite to General Duan, if General Duan has a place to get the Hunan army in the future, please just give orders, we will never refuse." Li Hongzhang saw that Duan Yihu insisted on refusing, so he no longer insisted, but still made a promise.

'Okay, if something happens, I will never be polite to the military advisor.' Duan Yihu felt that this Li Hongzhang was really good, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of Xiang Jun a lot.

"Then we'll settle this matter. General Duan, come, let me first introduce you to a few generals of our Hunan army, and then, I will also ask General Duan some questions about the marshal." Li Hongzhang said with a smile.

"Okay, Strategist." Duan Yihu also wants to get acquainted with these heroes of the Hunan army.

Just when Li Hongzhang and Duan Yihu were talking, Hu Linyi had already gathered together with Luo Zenan and Peng Yulin one step ahead, and several old brothers had gone through life and death. Seeing each other again, it was really a joy, several people originally thought that this time everyone was going to be finished, and they didn't think that they would be able to see each other alive after the worst time, and at the same time of the accident, there were also a lot of emotions.

Several people each recounted some things after the separation, and after everyone heard it, they couldn't help but sigh.

Hu Linyi asked with concern about Peng Yulin's escape. He knew in his heart that among the four groups of people, he and Peng Yulin's department suffered the biggest blow, if it wasn't for Duan Yihu's coming to help, he might be a cold corpse now, and Peng Yulin's situation can be imagined, so Peng Yulin's ability to get out of trouble is really much beyond his expectations.

Peng Yulin heard Hu Linyi ask about this, and before he went into details, he first said a few words of luck.

And what happened to Peng Yulin was more dramatic than Hu Linyi's.

After Peng Yulin's defense line was broken through by the Qing army, the Hunan army fell into danger, in front of the superior Qing army, the Hunan army was defeated and retreated, seeing this scene, although Peng Yulin felt heartache, but he could not do anything, because he was already unable to protect himself.

At that time, there were more Qing troops surrounding Peng Yulin than Hu Linyi, and Peng Yulin's position was not as favorable as Hu Linyi.

Who knows, just when the sword was about to end, the Qing army retreated inexplicably, and it was a bit of a panic, so Peng Yulin picked up a life.

In the face of the withdrawal of the Qing army, just when Peng Yulin was uncertain, he encountered a sentinel sent by Li Hongzhang.

After the Qing army withdrew, Li Hongzhang had sent people to find out, and at the same time, he led a large army to join Peng Yulin's department.

When Peng Yulin heard that Li Hongzhang had also escaped danger and was leading people to join him, his heart settled down.

It didn't take long for the two armies to gather together, and after the armies converged, Li Hongzhang immediately sent an advance team to search and advance to the place where Hu Linyi was, and was met by Duan Yihu and Hu Linyi who were rushing over.

This process is not complicated, but the thrilling is only understood by the parties themselves.

"Generals, just give me a moment, I have something to say." Li Hongzhang's sudden words interrupted Hu Linyi and the others who were on the rise.

Several people all looked at Li Hongzhang and Duan Yihu who came with him.

"Let me introduce to you, this is General Duan Yihu of the Taiping Army, who came to reinforce our Hunan army on the order of the marshal." Li Hongzhang said to everyone with a smile.

"General Duan." Several people greeted Duan Yihu affectionately.

From Hu Linyi's mouth, they already knew the origin of this period of Yihu, and also knew what he had done for the Hunan army, and everyone was very grateful to him, so their attitude towards Duan Yihu was very good.

Duan Yihu saw that everyone was polite, and he hurriedly returned the salute, not daring to have the slightest support.

This has come and gone, everyone is familiar with it, and Li Hongzhang took the opportunity to ask about Zeng Guofan's situation.

"General Duan, where is the marshal now, can you tell me in detail?" Li Hongzhang's eyes were fiery.

Duan Yihu nodded, and told Li Hongzhang and the others in detail about the entire process of their trip.

He started from Zeng Guofan leading the army from the Taiping army camp, and then talked about Zeng San who reported the news, and then attacked the city gate, then to relieve the siege for Luo Bingzhang and the Chu army, and then to order Duan Yihu to rescue Hu Linyi and so on.

Li Hongzhang and the others were fascinated by what they heard and couldn't stop nodding.

After listening, Li Hongzhang cleaned up his mood, smiled slightly, and said: "Everyone, the commander is already in sight, what are we waiting for, the army will be drawn immediately, the goal, the commander."

When the people heard about it, they agreed with a bang. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (biquge.info) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, and your support. That's what motivates me the most......)
