Chapter 146: Guangzhou

In Sanyuanli, General Wei Zuobang heard bursts of gunfire from the front, and said to the deputy general Waitabhe: "There seems to be a war ahead, should we go to help." ”

Waittab's eyes widened and asked, "What order did the Governor give us?" ”

Wei Zuobang was stunned for a moment, and replied: "The general forgot, the governor has repeatedly instructed us to meet the chief soldier in Sanyuan." ”

After speaking, Wei Zuobang smiled knowingly and complimented: "My lord is wise, the last general almost fell into the short-haired dang, the general soldier sneaked up on the bullpen post, how could he come back so early, it is obviously an anti-thief, so he set up a suspicious formation and lured our army to be fooled." ”

Waitab said meaningfully: "But I can't say this when I see the Governor, after all, the Governor is far away in Guangzhou, and he doesn't know the truth here. ”

"Yes, yes...... I didn't hear anything, and if after two hours, the general soldier was still nowhere to be seen, he should have bypassed Sanyuanli and returned to Guangzhou City, and we should have returned. Wei Zuobang immediately understood what Waitabu meant.

Chen Guohui ran to Wang Zhenxiong's side in a panic and cried loudly: "My lord, the musket team is surrounded by anti-thieves, let's withdraw quickly, and when they annihilate the fire rifle team, we can't leave even if we want to!" ”

Wang Zhenxiong said angrily: "The eight hundred foreign spear team is still there? How to explain to the Governor when you return to the city! ”

"I can't stop it, it's broken, it's ......" The Chinese military co-leader rushed to Wang Zhenxiong's leg and shouted: "The short hair is powerful, the brothers can't stop it, my lord, withdraw quickly!" ”

Wang Zhenxiong was in a dilemma, looking at the expectant eyes around him. With a ruthless heart, he decided to leave the troops who were resisting: "Withdraw." The whole army retreated, and how much could it run. The whole army retreated to Sanyuanli, where a large army responded, and there were batteries behind, and Shorthair must not dare to pursue. ”

Wang Zhenxiong took the lead with 2,000 men and horses to break away from the brigade and fled to the south of Sanyuanli.

Huang Darong looked at the shadowless Chinese army, laughed angrily, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, come down, we are abandoned!" ”

The nearby Qing soldiers came to their senses in an instant and followed their words one after another. Lay down the blade.

Zuo Zongtang said to Li Shixian and Li Wenmao: "Continue to pursue the remnants of the Qing army, and it is best to annihilate them all outside the city of Guangzhou." ”

When he came to Sanyuanli, Wang Zhenxiong angrily asked Waitab: "Why don't you send an army to respond, our army is less than four miles tight." ”

I didn't expect Wang Zhenxiong to come back alive, the official level crushed people to death, Waitabu felt weak in his heart, and bowed his head to admit his mistake: "The lowly position knows the mistake, the lowly position originally thought that the adults had attacked the bullpen post, and the front was just a short-haired and suspicious formation." Please forgive me. ”

Wang Zhenxiong clenched the big knife, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was Manchurian, he would have ordered him to be tied up: "Let's not talk about these things for the time being, the whole army will immediately withdraw to Guangzhou." The pursuers arrived immediately. ”

A quarter of an hour later, the Han army chased to Sanyuanli, and Li Wenmao said to Li Shixian: "Ahead is the Fluidized Bridge." Because the city wall fell into disrepair, the Qing army built forts in Yongkang, Qiding, Baoji, Gongji and Yuexiu Mountain. Half a month ago, our rebel army attacked several times. There were heavy casualties, and not once they rushed under the city walls. ”

Li Shixian sighed and felt it: "The city wall of Guangzhou is high and thick, surrounded by forts, and if you want to capture such a strong city, you must have an internal response." ”

Li Wenmao stuck the big knife on the ground and gritted his teeth: "Because the traitor betrayed." The brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society in the city were all killed, even the newborn children were not spared, and the corpses were abandoned in the Pearl River, and the river turned red overnight, breaking Guangzhou, and I must avenge them. ”

Li Shixian saw that the surrounding rebels were all resentful, and hurriedly comforted: "As long as we kill the rebels, we will never let them go, and after the city is broken, we will definitely bring them to justice to comfort the souls of the righteous in the sky!" ”

Gathering all kinds of soldiers and horses, Zuo Zongtang decided to take advantage of the victory to attack Guangzhou City.

Seeing that the leaders of the righteous army had a difficult face, Li Shixian persuaded him: "Marshal Qiqi, there are many forts around the city wall of Guangzhou, and our army will suffer heavy casualties if it forcibly attacks the city. ”

Li Wenmao followed and said: "The last general is also willing to follow Commander Li into the city." ”

He Liu echoed: "The last general's father-in-law is Wang Yinlin, he has hundreds of disciples and relatives and friends in the city, and the last general is willing to persuade him to cause trouble. ”

Zuo Zongtang persuaded: "Why should Commander Li take risks! It is not a day's work to capture Guangzhou, if you have an accident, how can I explain to His Majesty! ”

Li Shixian said with a smile: "Wu Shaorong, a wealthy businessman in the city, also lost his sincerity to the Han army, and he was received by His Majesty in Nanjing and was named a knight. ”

Zuo Zongtang said: "In this case, I will send someone to contact the people of the Wu family and let you enter the city as a people's husband." ”

Three days later, the Wu family

"General Li is here, Wu is very honored!" Wu Shaorong welcomed Li Shixian, Li Wenmao, and He Liu into the inner room.

"Father-in-law, why are you here!" He Liu was still lamenting the vast magic power of the Han army, and the Wu family, the richest man in Guangdong, actually took refuge in advance, and saw his father-in-law sitting in the living room chatting with a few people.

Wang Yinlin got up and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you kid to mess around all day and finally do a big thing that caused a sensation in the world." ”

"Hehe" Seeing that his father-in-law, who had always looked down on him, praised him, He Liu touched his head and smirked.

Wu Shaorong pulled Li Shixian to introduce to everyone: "This is the commander of the Fifth Army of the Han Army, Li Shixian!" ”

"Hello Captain Li!" The remaining seven people of the Ten Tigers of Guangdong stood up and hugged their fists in greeting.

"Hello everyone, I heard that the Ten Tigers of Guangdong assassinated foreigners, and such heroes are the heroes that Li admires the most." Li Shixian also clasped his fists and complimented.

Wang Yinlin listened quite happily, he was cautious all his life, he did such a big thing for the first time in his life, and he was immersed in anxiety all day long, and today he heard the praise of the generals of the Han army, and he was in a good mood.

Wu Shaorong invited everyone to take a seat and explained the ins and outs to Li Shixian: "I returned to Guangzhou from Nanjing, and I was very excited to hear that the Han army had captured Fujian, so I contacted all the heroes and planned to make some contributions to the Han army. ”

"Mr. Wu said with a smile, with your call, Guangzhou can be recovered as soon as possible, and I entered the city this time to assist Mr. Li Shixian just wanted to capture Guangzhou as soon as possible, and he didn't care about this work.

Wu Shaorong's face was ruddy, he was in a good mood, and he laughed and said: "Meng Zuo Dashuai takes a fancy to him, how dare he refuse, the general is assured that I have contacted my colleagues from the thirteen lines in the city, and they unanimously agreed to take refuge in the emperor, and agreed to start an incident in three days." ”

Li Shixian's tense body was completely relaxed, and the power of the Thirteen Elements in Guangzhou was deep-rooted, and with their help, it was easy to capture the entire Guangdong: "In this case, I will wait here for good news, on the day of the incident, as long as the righteous soldiers are divided into two routes, all the way to open the city gate, welcome the army into the city, all the way to attack the governor's palace, and capture Lu Jianying, the governor of Liangguang." ”

Wang Yinlin glanced at everyone and said loudly: "The matter of attacking the city gate will be handed over to us, there are disciples of my Ten Tigers at the city gate everywhere, and with them as the internal cause, the capture of the city gate will be successful." ”

Li Shixian smiled calmly, he didn't expect this trip to be so smooth, the name of the Ten Tigers of Guangdong, he had heard of it when he was a tenant in Guangxi, many of them opened a martial arts hall in the city of Guangzhou, with dozens of disciples, plus relatives and friends, at least 3,000 people could be summoned to participate in the battle, and it was not easy to capture a city gate.

……

Su Genji is the son of Su Heihu, the Ten Tigers of Guangdong, since his father died in the hands of foreigners, he has always wanted to take revenge, if it wasn't for a few uncles to stop him, he would have killed the Liangguang Governor's Mansion and took Ye Mingchen's dog head.

"Senior brothers, what you will do tomorrow is really dangerous, if someone is unwilling to participate, I will never mind, it's still too late to quit."

As Su Heihu's favorite disciple, Wang Jun immediately retorted: "Senior brother, don't persuade you, it is our responsibility to avenge the master, it is rare for a few masters and uncles to be willing to help, how can we refuse to be capable apprentices!" ”

The eldest disciple Shi Shou saw that the eyes of many junior disciples flickered, and he loudly agitated: "The Han army is attacking the city outside, and we cooperate with several masters to attack the city gate, not only can we avenge the master, but also make meritorious contributions to the Han Dynasty. ”

Wang Jun broke the case with one palm and threatened everyone: "Senior brother is right, everyone knows that the Qing Dynasty is thin, and Guangzhou can be broken tomorrow, if anyone dares to go to the informant, we will not kill you, and the Han army will also settle accounts with you when it enters the city, which is more important, you must think about it carefully!" ”

……

As the sky dawned, people with broadswords came out of the streets, slowly gathered together, and walked towards the north gate together.

"Stop, what are you doing? Don't go near the walls without a military order! The night watchman shouted to the figure in front of him with a lantern.

"We are on the orders of the Governor to defend the northern city, please let the brothers in front of us give way."

The leader of the night patrol carefully looked at the other party's clothes and was shocked: "You stand still, don't come any closer!" Who are you, and how come there is no one who is in charge? ”

Huang Qilin stepped forward and said with a smile: "My lord doesn't know, the general has just had a stomach, so he stayed behind, he asked us to come first, please forgive me for the abruptness." ”

"You're the head of the Yellow Sect!" The leader of the night patrol was shocked and suspicious, and when he saw them surrounding, he hurriedly shouted: "You wait here for a while, and I will report to the lieutenant general!" ”

"Poof"

"Boom"

"You ...... Be...... It's a thief! Huang Jiaotou, why are you like this? ”

Wang Yinlin looked at a few corpses and praised Huang Qiying: "Thanks to Brother Huang's alertness, if we let these Qing soldiers call people out, we don't know if we can get close to the city wall!" (To be continued......)
