Zuo Zongtang saw that Xiao Yungui was about to go into battle, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "King Xi, you are the commander of the first army, and you must not move lightly." When General Li first asked for help, we knew that Xiang Rong was the strategy of attacking the west, and had sent messengers to let the generals Lin Fengxiang and Ji Wenyuan in the north lead the troops to surround it, according to the policy we agreed in advance, as long as General Li insisted on another hour, and waited until the army was encircled, then it would be Xiang Rong's death, and the king of the west did not have to take risks forward, or let Zuo lead the troops to go up to help. ”

Xiao Yungui opened his mouth and smiled: "Mr. is a literati, how can he go into battle to fight?" Sir is worried that if there is any damage to this king, it will frustrate the morale of the army, and the whole strategy will fail. ”

Zuo Zongtang frowned and said: "King Xi, a big victory is in sight, you don't have to take risks in person, you are the whole army, you can't move in person." ”

Xiao Yungui groaned: "Sir, at this moment, Siye Mountain is in danger, and the Qing Demon and we are both gritting our teeth to see who falls first." At present, the only soldiers that can be used are the dozens of guards of this king, and this king believes that when the banner of this king appears on the four leaves mountain, our brothers will be greatly boosted, on the contrary, the Qing demon will be completely desperate! Then he smiled lightly and said in a low voice: "This king is blessed by his father and brother, and the demon can't hurt this king in the slightest!" ”

Zuo Zongtang was still stunned, Xiao Yungui had already waved his cloak and walked out in stride. Zuo Zongtang looked at the shaking curtain, frowned and muttered, "Could it be that the King of the West really has the blessing of his Heavenly Father?" Could it be that he is really destiny? ”

Xiao Yungui walked out of the camp tent, only to see that dozens of guards outside were ready to stop, and the camp was full of wounded soldiers rescued from Siye Mountain, and the sound of wailing was endless. The medical care of the Taiping army was excellent, and there were many life-saving officers in the army to follow the battle, and from the morning, more than 300 wounded soldiers were sent down from Siye Mountain. Many of the injuries under its realization are not serious, most of them are blood loss and death, the Taiping army has a life-saving officer to follow, on the battlefield to use bruises, gold creation to save people, but to save the lives of many soldiers, these people are the elite of the Taiping army after the injury.

Xiao Yungui flew on the war horse, pulled out the long knife at his waist, and shouted: "Everyone in the camp listens to the order!" All the life-saving officers and scribes stayed behind to treat the wounded brothers, and the rest of the people copied the guys and came with me! Let the Qing Demon see the power of our West Temple soldiers and horses! ”

In the cheers, the banner of the King of the West was raised high, dozens of guards followed Xiao Yungui and rushed towards Siye Mountain behind him, and the firehead army in the camp, the guards of the grain and grass, and even some lightly injured soldiers all picked up their blades and followed behind, moving with the banner of the King of the West.

On the other side, in the Qing army array, Xiang Rong looked at the battle on Siye Mountain triumphantly, and said left and right: "The long-haired thief snake is not enough to swallow the elephant, but he didn't expect this marshal to gather troops to attack one of them, if this Siye Mountain is lost, we can stand out from here." If Changmao mobilizes the soldiers and horses of Niuwanling and Pingtouling to fight, we can take advantage of the situation to intercept and kill and break through from the other two, so that he can't care about each other. ”

All the generals are praising Xiang Rong Yingming Shenwu, when the wind of sycophants rolls in, suddenly I saw a big flag erected on the top of Siye Mountain, this big flag is different from the Fengtian Demon Banner of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the big book on it is "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Right Bi and Zhengjun Division Xiwang Xiao"!

When this banner appeared, the Taiping army of Siye Mountain broke out into thunderous cheers, and fought more frantically, along with the banner came hundreds of fresh troops, together with the Qing army retreated, the Qing army could not be stopped from retreating to the foot of the mountain.

Xiao Yungui walked up the hill and saw Li Yiwen fighting with two Qing soldiers at a glance, he rushed forward without saying a word, slashed the two Qing soldiers to death, and strode to Li Yiwen's side, only to see that his robe was stained with blood, and exclaimed: "Are you injured?" ”

Li Yiwen saw that it was the arrival of the King of the West, and couldn't help but burst into tears and said: "It's okay, His Royal Highness the King of the West, this is the blood of the Qing Demon." ”

Xiao Yungui patted Li Yiwen on the shoulder and said, "You are fighting very hard, and you are gathering troops to attack us in one place, just to make us mess up." This king has brought all the people who can fight in the camp, and our brothers will work together to defend for a while, and when the soldiers and horses from the north arrive, the Qing demon will be wiped out! When he looked back, he saw that the Taiping army had driven the Qing army down the mountain, so he shouted: "Don't chase, be careful of the Qing demon firearms!" Set up the cannon and let's fuck it! Throw all the stones, arrows, and spears you can throw on the mountain and kill the enemy! The brother who still has a musket and a musket in his hand gives me a lethal greeting! ”

After Xiao Yungui appeared, the morale of the Taiping army was greatly boosted, and the front was quickly stabilized, and the Qing army attacked the mountain three more times, but each time it was defeated faster than the other.

Xiang Rong's face was gloomy at the foot of the mountain, the Qing army had more than 1,700 troops here, without the slightest progress, three hours had passed, and Xiang Rong also knew that once the Taiping army behind him surrounded him, he would annihilate the whole army.

After retreating from the third attack on the mountain, Xiang Rong couldn't bear it, and personally rushed to the front of the battle with the generals, and after he looked at the banner of Xiwang Xiao from the clairvoyant mirror, he turned around and shouted coldly: "Pass the order, attack the mountain, take off the head of the West Thief, the official will be promoted to three levels, and the reward will be ten thousand taels of silver!" Lao Tzu will never break his word! ”

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, Du Si Ji Shengmai personally led six hundred Qing troops to attack again, these Qing troops shouted to take off the head of the western thief, and the slogan of rewarding ten thousand taels of silver swarmed forward.

Xiao Yungui's heart was slightly shocked, he didn't expect that his head had become the target of everyone, so he was annoyed but immediately shouted: "Pass the order, take off the head of the demon head, and reward a penny!" ”

Li Yiwen and the others were stunned for a moment, then laughed together, and shouted one after another: "Take off the head of the demon and reward a penny!" There are still more than 500 Taiping troops at the moment, and they shouted together, and the Qing troops under the mountain heard it clearly.

After hearing this, Xiang Rong's face turned green with anger, urging the soldiers and horses to attack the mountain, vowing to cut Xiao Yungui with a thousand knives to vent the hatred in his heart.

Ji Shengmai led the soldiers and horses to attack the mountain, the stones and arrows on the mountain rained down, and the artillery fire of the Taiping army became more dense.

When Ji Shengmai looked back, he saw a large area of dust and smoke rising from the north, obviously killed by the Taiping army from behind. When Ji Shengmai was still hesitating whether to continue to rush up or retreat, an arrow on the top of the mountain rose into the sky and exploded in mid-air, he was taken aback, this must be the Taiping Army's order to attack the whole army. Just as he hesitated, a cannon hit the mountain, killing Ji Shengmai on the spot.

At this moment, the Taiping army of Niuwanling and Pingtouling also sounded the trumpet, and followed the Taiping army in the north to strangled Siye Mountain in all directions.

Xiang Rong also found that there was a Taiping army behind him at the foot of the mountain, and hurriedly ordered the rear army to bombard the ring to stop the Taiping army's charge, but the Qing army's room for the loop was not large, and they were soon crowded together and could not be used. Under the leadership of Lin Fengxiang, Ji Wenyuan and other generals, the Taiping Army on the North Road pounced on the rear of the Qing army and fought hand-to-hand.

Li Kaifang on the side also led the troops to rush over, and the Qing army on the flank was even more crushed at the touch of a button, chased and killed by the Taiping army, and retreated to the foot of Siye Mountain.

Xiang Rong ordered the generals to stabilize their positions, and the firearms of the army were used to their deaths, but the artillery of the Taiping army at the head of Siye Mountain was fierce, and the Qing army was able to line up the formation, and was immediately disrupted by a burst of artillery fire, and could not form a formation.

The battle reached dusk, the Qing army was on the verge of collapse, Xiao Yungui's eyes were vicious, and he saw that it was cheap, and after three rounds of bombardment by the cannon, he ordered the guards to hold high the banner of the West King and rush down with the Taiping army of Siye Mountain.

When the Taiping army of Siye Mountain came down the mountain, the Qing army finally broke up, Xiang Rong saw that the momentum was not good, and fled to the west of the Xiangjiang River under the protection of the generals, and the rest of the Qing army was already in chaos, and no one commanded to run into a headless fly, and was also driven by the Taiping army to retreat to the bank of the Xiangjiang River.

The morale of the Taiping army was greatly boosted, divided into several ways to chase and kill, the Qing army retreated to the bank of the Xiangjiang River has no way out, a large number of Qing troops were killed in the river or drowned in the water, the water of the Xiangjiang River has turned dark red, and thousands of corpses of the Qing army floated all over the river.

Xiang Rong fled to the riverside, saw the surging Xiangjiang River in front of him, couldn't help but feel sad, sighed and wanted to pull out a knife to wipe his neck, was hurriedly pulled by the left and right, several Qing generals hurriedly said: "Junmen, I will wait for the water, but I can cross the river with the Junmen!" "Yes, the military gate, leave the green mountains without worrying about no firewood." At the moment, Xiang Rong was not allowed to say, and a Qing general and Goshha took off their clothes and armor for Xiang Rong, and fled to the west bank of the Xiangjiang River with Xiang Rong in his arms.

The rest of the Qing army to the shore also did the same, took off their armor and fled for their lives, soon the Taiping army caught up, the Qing army was killed in time, and the Taiping army in the water was also chased by the Taiping army with arrows and guns, and the screams and wails resounded over the Xiangjiang River.

Xiang Rong was escorted by everyone and fled to the other side, his robe was wet, his armor and banners were all lost, and when he looked back, he saw that his deployment was slaughtered by the Taiping army by the river, and he couldn't help crying loudly, kneeling on the shore and unable to stand on his own. The Qing generals and Goshha were also embarrassed, but they were afraid that there would be Taiping troops on the west bank to chase and kill, so they hurriedly set up Xiang Rong and fled south.

In addition to Xiang Rong and others and some hundreds of Qing troops who knew how to escape from the water, more than 4,000 people under the Qing army were killed, more than 2,000 people surrendered, and firearms, ordnance, grain and grass, baggage, and artillery were all obtained by the Taiping army, and even Xiang Rong's family letter was obtained by the Taiping army, and the Qing army was extremely defeated.

The Taiping army also lost more than 1,500 casualties and more than 2,000 wounded, among which Siye Mountain Li Yiwen was the most seriously wounded, more than 1,300 people guarded the mountain, and Zuihou only had less than 400 people left. But it was the persistence of Siye Mountain that allowed other Taiping troops to come in time to encircle and annihilate the Qing army, but Li Yiwen's credit was the greatest.

When the Taiping army on the bank of the Xiangjiang River thundered with joy, Xiao Yungui looked at the corpses of the Qing army in Manjiang and was speechless, to overthrow the Manchu Qing, I don't know how much more killing and bloodshed to go through, this is just one of the battles, there may be more tragic battles waiting for him later, can his Xiao Yungui's luck continue to be so good?
