Chapter Twenty-Seven: Li Yunzhong Attacks Changsha

Luo Bingzhang scolded the officials who fled into the city again, and said: "Even if you want to flee for your life, you have to report to the provincial capital, delay for some time, what are you doing here, and don't go to block the city gate." After scolding, Luo Bingzhang hurriedly wrote a recital and asked for reinforcements.

After the initial deployment, Luo Bingzhang felt that it was inappropriate, the current form is very severe, the Taiping army is so violent, the comers are not good, if they do not capture Changsha, they will not stop, and the green battalion in the city is not a soldier at all, it is okay to bully the common people, and he is afraid to die when dealing with the Taiping army, and he is by no means the opponent of the Taiping army, if he doesn't want to be planted in the hands of that little fellow, he has to think of another clever strategy, this wonderful strategy Luo Bingzhang has already thought of it, and he originally planned to give it to others, but he didn't expect to use it first.

After a while, someone came to report, and Admiral Bao Qibao asked to see him.

Bao Qibao said to Luo Bingzhang: "Lord Luo, all my soldiers have been transferred to Guangxi to suppress bandits, and there are only more than 1,000 soldiers in the green battalion in Changsha, and I want to move to Xiangtan to gather officers and soldiers from all over the province to support Changsha." ”

Luo Bingzhang scolded secretly, the Qing Dynasty was made by your group of martial artists, and when he saw the enemy coming, he wanted to run, and if he wanted to go to Xiangtan, I would also go, which turn would be you, eagerly, and called his name and said: "Bao Qibao, the laws of the Qing Dynasty, those who lose the city die, not to mention the fall of the provincial capital, you and I can't escape." ”

Bao Qibao said: "How is it good, Changsha soldiers are less than 2,000, and the reinforcements will arrive in ten days at the earliest. ”

Luo Bingzhang said the clever plan he thought of and said: "You can recruit Lian Yong and Xiang Yong to defend the city." ”

Bao Qibao sneered: "Call a group of mud-legged people to guard the city, Ha Luha, Lord Luo, I think you are hungry." ”

Luo Bingzhang endured his anger and persuaded him: "Lian Yong may not be unavailable, the thieves are also a group of mud-legged rebels, besides, do you really want to give Changsha to others?" ”

Bao Qibao was asked, and said helplessly: "Then I have to give it a try, I will give an order to let the nearby townsmen and regimental exercises rush to Changsha at full speed." ”

The two were silent for a while, and Luo Bingzhang asked, "Do you want to send someone to defend the dangerous place outside the city?" ”

Bao Qibao said: "Yes, let the villagers who rushed to defend it, at least it can delay the time for the anti-thieves to attack the city, if the reinforcements arrive in time, then Changsha will be saved." ”

Three days later, Hu Yihuang rushed to the stone horse shop in the south of the city with the first army, and saw that it was a group of people with swords to defend, and it was expected that they were the regimental training that Jiao Liang said, and saw that they had just rushed over, taking advantage of their unstable foothold, Hu Yihuang ordered Li Desheng to attack, fought fiercely for half an hour, killed more than 1,000 enemies, beheaded a deputy general, and the rest fled.

Luo Xuan seized the Miao Peak in the south of the city, and in the afternoon, Li Yunzhong and the Second Army rushed to Changsha.

Changsha City, five miles wide and ten miles long, looking at the broken city walls of Changsha, Li Yunzhong almost laughed, and ordered the demolition regiment to dig tunnels along the shortest and largest cracks, and the first army attacked the city to cover.

The attention of the Qing soldiers in Changsha City was all attracted by the siege soldiers, and Admiral Bao Qibao applied for the statue of King Dingxiang from Chenglong Temple in order to boost morale, and carried it to the South City Tower, where Admiral Bao Qibao and others took turns to guard it, in order to seek the protection of the gods.

When a section of the city wall collapsed, the defenders thought that the gods blessed the thief, and did not think about it at all, either fleeing or surrendering, the first army rushed into Changsha and encountered slight resistance, Luo Bingzhang fled to Xiangtan with officials half an hour ago, Li Yunzhong occupied Changsha, ordered people to seal the treasury, and the second army went out of the city to meet the fourth army to come to Changsha.

Luo Bingzhang, who fled to Xiangtan, was repentant and shocked, and received Jiang Zhongyuan's letter, he learned that the siege was the Han army, and the Taiping army had just entered Hunan at this time, and was ambushed by Jiang Zhongyuan's Chu Yong in the battle of Lingyidu, with heavy casualties, and Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, was seriously injured and died, Jiang Zhongyuan was famous in Hunan, since Chu Yong was so strong, he quickly wrote to Luo Zenan, the great Ru of Xiangxiang County, and asked him to go to Xiangtan for a while.

Luo Zenan and Hong Xiuquan are somewhat similar, they are both tried and tested, and he loves to write books, but he is not like Hong Xiuquanguang to write some limerick poems, and Christian teachings, Luo Zenan wrote "Ximing Lectures", "Poetry Collection", "Reading Mencius's Notes" and other scientific works, because they are well written, they have a great reputation, even the governor of Yungui let his son take him as a teacher before he died, Luo Zenan not only can write books, but also read people, he has dozens of disciples under his name, all of them are celebrities in Xiangxiang, and the disciples are Wang Zhu, Li Xubin and Li Xuyi brothers, Liu Rong is the most famous. Luo Zenan and his disciples were discussing the matter of organizing a group practice at this time in the Xiangxiang County Yahe County Order.

Luo Zenan said to the county commander Zhu Sunyi: "I heard that there was a thief army in Xiangxiang yesterday, and it seems that they went to Changsha, Changsha is empty, and it will definitely not be guaranteed, and please make plans as soon as possible." ”

Zhu Sunyi is a native of Jiangxi, and his predecessor was driven away by Wang Zhu because he offended Luo Zenan and his group. Hearing that Luo Zenan wanted to hold a regimental exercise, of course he strongly supported it, and said: "Now the green camp is not enough, I heard that Jiang Zhongyuan's Lian Yong won the battle in Lingyidu between Guizhou and Xiang, and we will also hold a regimental exercise, which will be used to maintain order in the county seat internally, and to resist the Taiping Army externally, I will issue a notice in the county and let all parts of the county cooperate with you." ”

After going back, Wang Zhu and Li Xubin each returned to their hometowns to recruit strong men, and Luo Zenan received Luo Bingzhang's letter and got up and went to Xiangtan.

After the defeat of the Taiping army, he entered the Xiangjiang River by boat, went north along the Xiangjiang River, followed by the 80,000 army led by Saishan, Saishana was afraid of the Taiping army's military strength, did not dare to fight, and could only follow slowly behind.

When Saishan'a learned that Changsha was captured by the Han army that broke through from Guangxi, he immediately ordered the army to go north to Changsha, wanting to recover Changsha before the holy decree of questioning the guilt arrived, and at the same time, the Taiping army also got the news that Li Yunzhong was attacking Changsha, Hong Xiuquan ordered the front army to immediately abandon the ship and go ashore, and march rapidly towards Changsha, whether it can occupy Changsha like Yong'an.

Li Yunzhong woke up and found that there were more than 100,000 Qing troops in the county capitals around Changsha, and the green battalion of Luo Bingzhang in Hunan, Tuanlian, and Saishan'a surrounded Changsha ten miles away. Hearing that the Taiping army was fighting fiercely with the Qing army in Xiangtan, Li Yunzhong hurriedly sent Meng to go up to contact, and on a whim, he wrote a letter for him to bring to Yang Xiuqing, giving him a detailed explanation of Jesus' position in Christianity, God is Jesus, and Jesus is the only God of Christianity. Li Yunzhong secretly thought: Give Xiao Chaogui some eye medicine.
