Zidadi, also known as "Purple Land", "Zi Dadi", "Zi Dadi", etc., is a triangle formed by the Dadu River and the Songlin River, and is one of the seven gathering places of the Yuewang West Road River. These seven fields are: Zidadi, Xile, Ximagu, Laerba, Jiyu, Haierdu, and Tianwan, all of which are under the jurisdiction of Wang Yingyuan, Tusi of the pine woodland, of which Zidadi is the largest. The purple field was created in the Qianlong period and was updated and renovated in Jiaqing.

Later generations who did not know much about the Dadu River would always associate the Zidadi destroyed by Shi Dakai with the Anshun Field where the Red Army crossed the river that year, thinking that it was a place. But in fact, this area formed by the Dadu River and the Songlin River is called Zidadi, which is divided into the middle dam and the lower dam, there are thousands of acres of land, the old field of Zidadi is the lower dam, the Red Army has been annihilated when crossing the Dadu River, and the Anshun field is the middle dam.

After Liu Xian withdrew to the camp on the shore, he immediately contacted Wang Yingyuan on the north bank, and Wang Yingyuan had already received the news that the Qing army in western Sichuan was rapidly reinforcing Zidadi, and his heart was not shaken at all. Seeing Liu Xian's main force turn back, he immediately rushed to the river, and was about to cross the river to meet Liu Xian, when he saw the signal rising on the south bank - to ask for a boat. Immediately rushed to the south shore with more than a dozen wooden boats!

The result was unexpected by Wang Yingyuan, Liu Xian did not rush to cross the river by himself, but first retreated the wounded, and then let Zhang Zhongkui lead a large team and some hand-to-hand soldiers to retreat, and he took his personal guards and battalion headquarters, together with the second brigade led by Xiang Fa, to stick to the camp!

Wang Yingyuan once again felt the difference between himself and Liu Xianam. For the Qing army, which still needs three or four days or even longer for reinforcements to arrive, it is completely self-defeating for Shi Dakai, who has more than ten times his own strength, to calmly launch a river-crossing operation for such a long time.

On this day, except for Liu Xian, who knew that there would be heavy rain on the Dadu River on the 15th, the others didn't have such thoughts at all. According to the festival of previous years, the rainy season in the Dadu River area will take another month to come.

It is precisely because of this that the importance of the south bank camp goes hand in hand with the danger, Wang Yingyuan will only let his capable generals be stationed in such dangerous places, and he will never take risks lightly.

This is the biggest difference between the official N generation like Wang Yingyuan and the official generation like Liu Xian - the former was born rich and glorious, and when he reached middle age, his fighting spirit had already been exhausted in eating, drinking, and having fun.

The latter, ambitious, Top Gun, is insatiable.

The ships traveled north and south of the river overnight, and the Taiping army naturally did not fail to see it, and Shi Dakai was not idle at night. First of all, he sent people to explore the Songlin River and Cailuoshui (now Nanya River) on the east and west roads.

The Zidadi Bridge was the most important thing, and as he expected, the bridge board had been completely dismantled, and only twelve thigh-thick iron chains remained on the surface of the river. A part of the Qing soldiers and the native soldiers of the Pine Woods Division were defending on the opposite bank. Cai Luoshui didn't see the shadow of the Qing soldiers, and could only see some local soldiers who were hiding from afar.

Shi Dakai had no intention of making a detour to march left and right at this time, Liu Xian's appearance was very good, and Shi Dakai still had full confidence to defeat him, because the ratio of soldiers between the two sides was too different.

Moreover, Liu Xian already had few men and horses to take care of the defense of the entire north bank of Zidadi, and the army in the south bank camp in front of him was even smaller. Shi Dakai had an army of tens of thousands, and one person could send Liu Xian into the Dadu River with a mouthful of foam.

The only thing that made Shi Dakai scratch his head was that there was no one in the few nearby cottages on the south bank. The Qing army fortified the walls and cleared the wilderness, which disrupted his thoughts of eating the locals.

Shi Dakai's lone army went deep, and the logistical baggage must not be carried too much, and the issue of rations needs to be paid attention to. One of the main reasons for Shi Dakai's defeat in history was the lack of food.

The villages around Zidadi were either moved away by Wang Yingyuan, or under Wang Yingyuan's strict order, they were not allowed to sell a grain and rice to the Taiping Army. At the beginning of Shi Da's army, 'according to the Songlin Land Department, rare rice millet, all for himself', completely failed.

14th, early in the morning.

The Taiping army had been making fires for a long time, and the stars in the sky had not disappeared, and the camp was full of people.

Pursuing all the way, the Taiping army was as tired, so Shi Dakai did not continue to attack last night, but he would not waste every minute of the day.

"Take the Dadu River, Chengdu will be ours!"

His shouting made all the Taiping soldiers feel refreshed.

As soon as the Taiping army moved, the south bank camp also 'woke up', and a tense atmosphere of imminent battle permeated the entire barracks. Liu Xian put away the virtual map that he had been staring at all night and appeared in front of all the soldiers.

On the north bank of the Dadu River, the torches were not extinguished all night, and Wang Yingyuan was full of spirit to remain vigilant.

The horn sounded, and the large array of thousands of Taiping troops separated, and dozens of shield carts were pushed out. Although the workmanship of the car is not very exquisite, but Zida Di is surrounded by trees, and Shi Dakai, who arrived in the evening, did not even let his soldiers set up the village, so he sent some experienced veterans to the side to cut down trees and catch up with the shield car.

It really doesn't need to be very delicate, just a little processing of those trees, and tying them together to become a rough shield cart or a large shield, and this kind of rough shield cart wooden shield made of rough wood, except for cannons, it is difficult for shotguns to penetrate them.

Liu Xian glanced at the gun-raising team and Cao Huailiang's rocket team at hand, hoping that the gun-raising could move this group of rough goods. Team Rocket can not move, he really doesn't want to move!

The rockets that went south with the army had been exhausted, and this part of the camp was reserved by him in advance, so that Cao Huailiang's troops, who returned 'empty-handed', were rearmed. But good steel is used on the blade, and today is a whole day, who knows how many dangers will happen?

Rockets are his killer weapon!

"Woo woo ......" The horn sounded on the other side.

Liu Xian's eyes looked at the front of the camp and the left and right corners, just like the layout of the city's fortified city, four mountain-splitting cannons were placed there. Five days is enough time to build a strong military fortress for Xiangfa Building! The artillery forts of the civil structure are definitely not as strong as the masonry and cement, but Shi Dakai's speed is not as fast as the heavy artillery of Chen Decai's army, and the four forts are as safe as ever.

But the four mountain-splitting cannons are all equipped with scattered bullets, and they are afraid that they are powerless against the Taiping army hiding behind the shield cart and the big shield......

The shield car and the big shield came slowly, the rough shield car was slow, and the sound of chirping and twisting was far away from Liu Xian's ears. But the rough goods are also durable, and the thick wooden rafts are still wrapped in several layers of bedding, and the bedding is more thin mud, and it is more bulletproof to set fire.

The more intimate Liu Xian looked through the binoculars, the less confident he was in carrying the gun in his heart.

Can a gun with a bullet weighing less than two taels really be able to penetrate it?

"Gun squad ready!"

"One class aims at one to fight!"
