Zeng Guofan was secretly glad that he did not divide his troops to Jinggang, and the Changmao Company camped for ten miles outside the city, and there were many people, if he divided his troops into Jinggang, whether he could hold Xiangtan was two words.
Guo Songtao had already observed the terrain just now, and said excitedly: "The long hair is dull, and he is so confident that he is too powerful to even want to occupy the high mountains outside the city, if the cannon is erected on the mountain, our army will be in danger!" Please send troops to defend the foot of the mountain as soon as possible. ”
Since he beheaded Zeng Tianyang, Taqibu no longer had any fear of Long Hair, and asked for his life: "I am willing to lead Lu Yong to defend the foot of the mountain." ”
Zeng Guofan immediately approved, "Although Zhiting goes, if you can hold on, put up a white flag, and if you want support from the city, you will put up a blue flag." ”
Tazib added: "If the lowly position defeats the longhair, put up the red flag!" ”
"Ha Lu Ha...... Zhiting's words won my heart, if I saw the red flag, I led the whole army to attack Changmao! "Tsang thought Tazib was just inspiring, not serious.
Every time Lai Hanying heard from Mr. Tell that a certain general attacked a certain company camp for dozens of miles, he longed for it, and looked forward to the day when he could do that, but he didn't expect it to be realized, although there were many people in the camp of the Heavenly Army, just an empty camp to scare the demons.
Shuai Ji Qingyuan, the commander of the Eighth Army on the right, hurriedly came to the tent and said to Lai Hanying, who was immersed in fantasy: "Qi Qi Prime Minister Lai, the Qing Demon is camped at the foot of the mountain one mile away, looking at its banner, it seems to be the Qing Demon Taqibu!" ”
Lai Hanying said: "Tazib? It's the same Tazib who killed Prime Minister Zeng! God forbid, quick, gather the whole army to come, I will personally behead him this time to avenge Prime Minister Zeng! ”
The Taiping generals pointed at the Qing demon camp opposite, filled with righteous indignation, and rushed to ask for their lives.
Lai Hanying waved his hand and said: "This time, everyone will attack together, I will lead the people and horses of my headquarters to sweep the formation, and there will be a lot of rewards for capturing the Qing Demon Taqibu alive!" ”
Ji Qingyuan admonished: "Think twice, since Taqib can defeat Prime Minister Zeng, he is not an idle person, why not test it and make plans again." ”
"You are a little commander, you dare to question Prime Minister Ben, someone will take him down, and when Prime Minister Ben takes the head of Taqibu Xiang, he is disposing of you!" Lai Hanying has never been soft on these division commanders and brigade commanders who dare to challenge his authority.
Ji Qingyuan, who was dragged down by his own soldiers, kept shouting: "Think twice...... The prime minister thought twice......"
Taqibu didn't expect that he would have a decisive battle with Changmao just after arriving at the foot of the mountain, and he didn't have time to arrange, so he said to the battalion officers and sentinels: "This battle is related to the life and death of the Hunan army, the marshal will be honored and disgraced all his life, I will put ten cannons behind, you must remember, when you hear the sound of cannons, don't move lightly, and when the cannons stop, they will rush and kill together, and all the generals below the battalion officer will take the lead in the charge, and the violators will be killed!" ”
Seeing that Taqib said solemnly, all the camp officers and sentinels were all awe-inspiring.
Since the Taiping Army, the Qing army has been fighting with the Qing army in the field, and the Qing army has always been about to collapse at the touch of a button, running in embarrassment, not daring to fight hard, all the sergeants thought that this time was the same, all of them rushed forward with weapons and screaming.
'Kill'
'Boom'
'Boom'
……
The Qing army only released one round of artillery, Taqib took the lead in rushing to the Taiping army, followed by countless village warriors, the two armies met, the Hunan army rushed to kill the enemy one by one, rushed left and right, without fear, the battalion officer, the sentry officer, and the commander all charged forward, which further aroused the determination of the Hunan soldiers to fight to the death.
The Taiping army was greatly disappointed, this group of Hunan troops not only did not frighten them, but resisted desperately, looking at the comrades who kept falling, the Taiping army gradually showed cowardice, and some of the newly recruited soldiers kept retreating to avoid the Hunan army.
Lai Hanying stood in the rear, dumbfounded, the Qing demons in the past could only dare to fight with the heavenly army by relying on the city, but he didn't expect this group of Qing demons to be so brave, no wonder Zeng Tianyang's Left Tenth Army was defeated by them, which reminded him of the battle of Lingyidu, and a feeling of uneasiness surged in his heart, would he follow in the footsteps of Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, and Zeng Tianyang, the prime minister......
Tazib slashed at the enemy as he shouted "Keep up" to the brave behind him...... Keep up", Zhu Sunyi and Zhou Fengshan each led 100 people to rush around Taqibu to share the pressure for him.
Zhou Fengshan grew taller, crossed the crowd, and saw a man in a gorgeous costume standing behind the long hair, and there were many long-haired guards behind him, and under great joy, he shouted to Taqib: "Zhiting...... Look ahead! There is a long-haired official there, I and Shi Qiao cover you, you lead someone to kill him, and Longhair will be defeated! ”
When Taqib heard this, he didn't look back, and went straight to the phalanx where Lai Hanying was.
Zhu Sunyi took the opportunity to shout: "The long-haired general is dead, brothers kill!" Many Hunan troops echoed and shouted: "The long-haired general is dead......
The Taiping army was defeated.
Lai Hanying saw that the general trend had gone, so he had to lead the remnants of the army to escape, and all the food, grass and ordnance were abandoned.
Taqib ordered people to erect a red banner and signaled to the naval army in the city to attack the Taiping army.
Zeng Guofan was always paying attention to the battlefield under the city, and when he saw the red flag erected on the mountainside, he was overjoyed and let the sailors who had been waiting for him attack.
Yang Zaifu, Peng Yulin, Bao Chao and other intellectuals Lu Yong won the battle, and their morale was greatly boosted, and under the unified command of Yang Zaifu, they led the entire naval army to kill the Taiping Army's naval division.
The Taiping army heard that their prime minister was defeated and fled, the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and the Hunan army had no power to fight back, the ship was burned down, and Shui Yong was forced to abandon the ship and go ashore, fortunately, the Hunan army did not dare to abandon the warship to pursue ashore, so it retreated safely, one returned to Jinggang in the north, and the other was blocked by the Hunan army, and was forced to go east to Liling into Jiangxi, and was absorbed by the Han army Jiao Liang.
Beijing
During this period of time, Xianfeng was very busy, and successively received the news that his mentor Du Shoutian was infected with a summer epidemic on the way to implement relief services, died in northern Anhui, and Wu Wenrong, the governor of Huguang, was martyred in Jingzhou.
Xianfeng looked at Du Han, the son of his teacher, recalled Du Shoutian's past, and was in pain at the desk, like mourning, and wrote with a red pen:
Reminiscing about the past in the study, the day is inherited and the five middle schools are remembered. Since the spring of the previous year, I have inherited the great treasure, and I have praised the drapery, and I have often heard about it. There will never be a time for the right one, and seventeen years of feelings will be paid and passed away. Alack! The misfortune of Qing, the misfortune of the real me!
Let the eunuch An Dehai hand over the approval to Du Han and say, "I have always regarded the master as my father...... Elders, since you have arrived in the capital, you don't have to go to Hubei, first walk on the Minister of Military Aircraft, learn to deal with political affairs, and be responsible for the patrol of the capital. ”
Du Han, who was secretly glad to have escaped, was moved: "Thank you, Lord Longen!" ”
Du Han was originally a scholar in Hubei, Shi Dakai surrounded Wuchang, he escaped with Chonglun, Chonglun was beheaded by accountability, and because of his father Du Shoutian's relationship, not only was not punished, but promoted several levels.
Xianfeng's voice was low: "You go down first, I still have state affairs to discuss with several ministers!" ”
Du Han held the imperial sticker in both hands and knelt down: "The minister retires!" ”
Prince Gong? At the beginning of the year, he was awarded the Minister of Military Aircraft, but he had no real power, and was squeezed out by Mu Yin, Ruihua and others, so he could only give advice every day: "The emperor does not have to be sad, although the anti-thieves are rampant, but they are unpopular, and the rebellion will be quelled by the imperial court." ”
Ruihua sneered angrily: "The prince still doesn't know the military situation on the front line, and the official army has been defeated repeatedly, how can you make the emperor not sad, unless the emperor is unconscious...... Ignore state affairs. ”
Although Xianfeng didn't value Yi, he couldn't bear to see him being bullied, and interrupted: "You see that this is Zeng Guofan's twist and turn, what do you think of the defeat of Baling County?" ”
Mu Yin and the others knew that Xianfeng had opinions about Zeng Guofan, and they didn't dare to open their mouths to defend Zeng Guofan, so as not to call for angry scolding.
