Although Li Yiwen's words were light, Xiao Yungui and the generals heard it very clearly, everyone was stunned for a while, Xiao Yungui looked at Li Yiwen in a daze for a long time without words, and suddenly slapped the table heavily, hahadaxiao said: "Okay, you Li Yiwen, this idea is the best!" ”

Zeng Shuiyuan frowned and said: "But I don't have any braided hair, the Qing Demon is not a fool, and he will definitely see the flaws." ”

He Bin hugged his fists and said angrily: "Your Highness, the braids of the brothers who joined along the way have not yet been removed, and they are all natives of Hunan Province, and they can pretend to be the demon of Liuyang Township to go to earn the city!" ”

In the new army of the Pao Brothers' Association, half of them joined along the way after leaving Liling, and before they had time to remove their braids, Xiao Yungui muttered: "Brother He's men and horses can draw three hundred people out, Li Yiwen and Lin Qirong!" ”

Li and Lin clasped their fists together and said, "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

Xiao Yungui said in a deep voice: "You will pick two hundred people to change into the outfit of the Qing Demon later, cut some braids and put them on, and put on the cool hat of the Qing Army, which should not be recognized, and pretend to be the Qing Demon Defeated Soldier and the brothers of the Robe Brotherhood to earn the city together, remember to be sloppy, so that it will look like a rout." ”

Xiao Yungui's voice fell, and the Taiping generals were all happy, they had done it in the past by pretending to be the Qing army to earn the city, and when they were fighting Guilin, Luo Dagang had done it, but they pretended to be Xiang Rong's soldiers and horses, but they didn't expect that Xiang Rong, the old fox, was in Guilin early in the morning, so he was defeated.

Only Zeng Shuiyuan frowned and said, "His Royal Highness the King of the West, just where to get so many braids for a while?" I knew that Shicai would cut braids from the corpses of those Shaanxi Qing demon soldiers, and the corpses of the Qing demons here in Jinpenling were buried by the new army again, and the corpses were too ruthless. ”

Xiao Yungui grinned and said, "It's better to fight less of the dead's idea, don't we still have more than a thousand Qing Demon captives?" When the generals heard this, they got up together.

A moment later, a large number of Taiping soldiers came to the camp where the Qing prisoners were held with swords, the Qing soldiers were all squatting on the ground, and dozens of Qing army generals were screened out by the Taiping army and tied to the wooden stakes on the side. The general town and deputy general of Xi'an Town were beheaded, and among these dozens of Qing army generals, from guerrillas, capital divisions, garrisons to foreign generals, and generals with battalions and flood levels were all taken.

Seeing that the Taiping army surrounded them with swords, the Qing soldiers were panicked, and they only said that the Taiping army wanted to slaughter prisoners of war, and they had suppressed some other rebels in the past, and they knew how to slaughter prisoners of war. Many clever Qing soldiers hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and some cried loudly, and lamented one after another: "Brother Taiping, we were also forced to be brave soldiers, if there is food and clothing, who will suffer this crime." "Brother Taiping, there are old and young people in my family, so spare my life."

In the sound of mourning, I saw Li Yiwen standing in front of the Taiping army, beside him were swords and guns glowing with cold light, and he shouted loudly with a pestle and knife in one hand: "Heavenly Father and Brother have mercy on all living beings, Heavenly Grace is mighty, and His Royal Highness the former military commander of the Taiping Army has an order!" Wait and listen! ”

More than 2,000 soldiers of the Taiping Army shouted loudly: "Kneel and listen! Kneel and listen! More than 1,000 Qing soldiers knelt down one after another

Li Yiwen said loudly: "You and others are abusive, join the Qing Demon Army, become demons and monsters, should be killed, Heavenly Father, Heavenly Brother Mercy Er and others have gone astray, and His Royal Highness the King of the West has been specially ordered to influence You, etc., and you must no longer be enemies with the heavenly soldiers in the future, those who are willing to follow the heavenly soldiers are our brothers, and those who do not want to follow will return home and be good citizens, and no longer be enemies of my peace, do you know?!" ”

As soon as he heard that he could be sent home, a group of Qing soldiers kowtowed like garlic, and Li Yiwen said loudly: "Those who are willing to follow us stand up, and those who want to go home stay where they are!" ”

A group of Qing soldiers looked at each other, followed by Changmao, that is, rebellion, and never turned back, and no one stood up for a while. …,

Li Yiwen shouted: "Bring a hundred people out!" "The soldiers of the Qing army were tied to a long rope for every ten people, and more than 100 Taiping soldiers rushed up and pulled out a hundred people with ropes.

These 100 Qing soldiers didn't know what the Taiping army was going to do, so they only heard Li Yiwen sneer: "Take them to the front camp and send them home!" ”

The 100 Qing soldiers suddenly understood what it meant to come and send them home, and many of them struggled to complain, and more than a dozen soldiers shouted again and again: "Adults, adults, the small ones don't want to go home, and the little ones are willing to follow the heavenly soldiers." ”

As soon as Li Yiwen waved his hand, several Taiping soldiers stepped forward and pulled out the dozen or so soldiers who were willing to follow, and stood aside, and there were still more than 80 people who did not want to go. Among them, several fierce Qing soldiers shouted: "Brothers, fight with them, if you don't fight, you won't survive!" ”

Before the words fell, those people were killed on the spot by the Taiping army on the side, and the restless Qing army calmed down, Li Yiwen didn't look at the corpses, and waved his hand and shouted: "Strip them of their clothes and send them home!" ”

The remaining Qing soldiers were stripped naked by the wolf-like Taiping army, and followed to the front camp. Along the way, the Qing soldiers had no clothes, and even more had no desire to resist, they all wept incessantly, and finally disappeared after turning around a few tents.

After a while, there were screams from the front camp, and the Qing soldiers who were still squatting here were all terrified.

Li Yiwen shouted loudly again: "I'll ask again, those who are willing to follow us stand up, and those who want to go home stay where they are!" ”

At this time, many people stood up in an uproar, and more than 800 of the more than 1,200 Qing soldiers came out. The rest were still begging for help, and they were all stripped of their clothes by Li Yiwen and taken to the front camp.

Not far away, Xiao Yungui saw this scene and sighed slightly, the soldiers of the green battalion of the Qing army were rotten and extremely weak-willed, as long as they could live, they would not hesitate, and the rest might really want to go home. He also knew that these people might not all follow sincerely, but he needed manpower now, and these captives were the most haode manpower, but the best way to make them obedient to work was to make them afraid.

After dealing with the prisoners, Li Yiwen led people to select more than a dozen Liuyang townships that were the first to surrender to come out, and rushed to the front camp with the stripped Qing army uniforms.

When they arrived at the front camp, these villagers saw that the Qing soldiers who were brought here were still alive and well, but their braids were cut one by one, and Li Yiwen asked hundreds of Taiping soldiers to change into the clothes of Qing soldiers.

Li Yiwen said coldly to these dozen townspeople: "Listen to a few of you, let's disguise ourselves as routs and flee back to the city later, and a few of you will go with us to earn the city, and everything will be at our command!" "Those dozen or so villagers were the first to take refuge, with the softest bones, and they were busy agreeing at the moment.

After everything was dressed, the weapons and banners of the Qing army were ready-made, and the five hundred Taiping troops all changed into Qing army uniforms and cool hats, and their clothes were all crooked, which looked very much like they had lost the battle.

Li Yiwen, Lin Qirong, He Bin, and Zhou Zhaoyao changed into the general uniforms of the Qing army, and took this "Qing army" to the north camp gate, and at the camp gate, Xiao Yungui took Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang and others to wait there.

The four of them stepped forward and saluted Xiao Yungui, Xiao Yungui waved his hand and said: "After leaving the camp, your military appearance should not be so neat, divided into several batches to reach the city, in short, the more chaotic the better, but you have to be optimistic about the dozen or so villagers, you take them to run at the forefront, and when you get to the city, you still have to let the Qing Demon see a few familiar faces, so that after a while, I will personally lead the horse team to chase behind, so that the Changsha Qing Demon can see that there are chasing soldiers, and you will be let into the city before you can distinguish carefully." After entering the city, you must quickly seize the city gate, defend the city gate, and when our horse team arrives, remember to remove the cool hat when you let your brothers enter the city to fight, and you still have a red scarf on your head, so that you will not accidentally hurt your own people. In short, everything is adaptable, be careful. ”…,

The four of them shouted their orders and set up camp with their men and horses. After everyone saw them go away, Xiao Yungui said to Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, Zeng Shuiyuan, Ji Wenyuan and others: "Let's also go and prepare, Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, the two of you will lead a team of six hundred horses with me to follow up and seize the city, Zeng Shuiyuan, Ji Wenyuan, Zhu Xineng, the three of you will lead a team of two thousand steps and then rush forward, Li Zuoche, Tang Erniu, Tong Qiangsheng and the three of you will stay with a thousand new troops to guard the Qing demon captives, since they are willing to follow us, let them help us work, and the heavy work of carrying grain and grass will be handed over to them, You followed the group with guns and red powder. "All the generals received orders one after another, and each received his order to prepare to go.

After a while, Xiao Yungui took Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang and six hundred cavalry out of the camp, at the gate of the camp, he turned back to Zeng Shuiyuan, Ji Wenyuan and the generals and smiled: "Brothers, act according to the plan, let's see you in Changsha City!" Then he led his troops down the mountain.

Looking at Xiao Yungui's banner of the King of the West, Zeng Shuiyuan couldn't help but sigh secretly: "The King of the West is really a talented general, and he is really not under the King of the East, it's just a pity." ”

On the side, Ji Wenyuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Guard Zeng, let's also lead the infantry team to set off, the horse team is fast, we must catch up quickly." Zeng Shuiyuan came back to his senses at this time, and immediately got on the horse and followed with the two generals Ji Wenyuan and Zhu Xineng leading a large group of infantry troops.

However, it was said that Li Yiwen, Lin Qirong, He Bin and others fled to the south gate of Changsha City with dozens of Taiping soldiers and more than ten Liuyang Township Yong. At this time, the south gate of Changsha City has not been closed, and there are still people who can enter the city freely, but they only see those who enter, and they do not see people leaving the city. The people who entered the city were also big bags and dragged children and daughters, and it seemed that they wanted to enter the city to avoid the long-haired thieves.

Between the sturdy houses in the south of the city, the Qing army set up a lot of shacks and sentinels to strictly check the people who entered the city, and the houses in the south of the city have long been gone. The two stone bridges on the moat in the south of the city, the Jinji Bridge and the West Lake Bridge, were also guarded by the Qing army, and it seemed that if you wanted to approach the city gate, you had to deceive these sentry posts and the Qing army on the bridge.

"Run! The hairy thief has been killed! Zhou Zhaoyao saw Li Yiwen winking at him, and shouted loudly with more than a dozen people from the Hunan local robe brotherhood under his command.
