He didn't understand why the Han army would beat him for what the Han army wanted, he was the son of God, and he came to the world to destroy the demons, and now that the demons have been eliminated, Li Yunzhong should have come to Tianjing to worship, after all, he was his subordinate, but Li Yunzhong did not come, but he sent hundreds of thousands of troops.

"This traitor, he is the biggest demon!" Hong Xiuquan said fiercely.

Chen Decai, the commander of the right army and the head of Tianjing, stepped forward and persuaded: "The king of heaven is angry, there are still 100,000 troops in the city, and the thief army will not be able to attack for a while and a half, but the cannon of the thief army outside the city is really powerful, we might as well break through and fight in Hanzhong, where there are many Hui brothers, maybe we can achieve a great cause." ”

Hong Xiuquan was furious when he heard this, and when he saw that many courtiers nodded in agreement, he immediately changed color, and said with a smile: "Let the city not go is really the next policy, this will be discussed later, now everyone works together and uses their energy to one point, that is, to defend Tianjing, I will go to heaven to move the rescue soldiers, and the Heavenly Father told me that within three months, there will be 100,000 heavenly soldiers coming, and then all the demons and monsters will be wiped out in one fell swoop, and everyone will live happily in the kingdom of heaven." ”

Lai Wenguang, who commanded the Heavenly Army in the summer in front of the palace, almost didn't laugh, he never believed in the God Worship Sect, and joined the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom just to gain fame and wealth, and it had nothing to do with the construction of heaven, alas! The king of heaven's illness is getting worse and worse, if only the king of the east is here, all diseases will be cured under the board.

Hong Renda said with a smile: "What the King of Heaven said is that the thieves outside the city are all demons, and God and his old man will not sit idly by, the King of Heaven said that if there are 100,000 heavenly soldiers, there will be 100,000 heavenly soldiers, and there will be no less." Everyone can rest assured that they can sleep peacefully when they go back. Don't bother the king with this little thing, the king of heaven has all the opportunities. There's no time to pay attention. ”

Hong Renda is the second brother of the king of heaven, Hong Xiuquan, who was named the king of fortune by the king of heaven, Hong Xiuquan, but Shi Da drove away, the hearts of the people of heaven were in turmoil, Hong Xiuquan had no choice but to remove Hong Renda from the title, after a long time, Hong Xiuquan simply named all his people king, Hong Renda took a ride, and was named the king of Yong.

A pilgrimage meeting didn't decide anything. When the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan unilaterally conveyed the instructions of 'God', the courtiers were already depressed, and they had to pretend to be interested, otherwise the Heavenly King's cronies would see it and have small shoes to wear.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Lai Wenguang and Chen Decai walked together, sighing as if their father and mother had died.

Chen Decai sighed: "100,000 heavenly soldiers? Alas! Even if he summoned 200,000, it would work, since we killed the envoy of the Han army, the cannon outside the city roared. With each shot, the walls collapsed. ”

Lai Wenguang echoed: "That's right, the King of Heaven still thinks that he will fight with the Hunan army, let alone three months, even if it hangs for three days." These words cannot be said to the king of heaven, otherwise they will reprimand us for being greedy for life and afraid of death, and the situation is difficult. I want us to conquer the city at the beginning, how can this be the case. I think we still have to do that, how can we just defend the city. When did the Qing army defend the city not be captured by us? ”

Chen Decai shook his head and sneered: "It is easy to change from poor to rich, from rich to poor, the king of heaven is used to grace and luxury, so it is difficult for him to live a life of exile!" ”

Lai Wenguang asked in a low voice: "Then do you want to come hard, the king of heaven may just be confused for a while, let's take him out of the city and escape with his life, maybe the king of heaven ......"

Speaking of which, Lai Wenguang also felt that he was whimsical, since the Beiwang Incident, all the generals in Tianjing City, especially in the palace, were all cronies of the King of Heaven, and King Hong Xiuquan was even more explicitly ordered, and if there was no edict to enter the palace, it would be in the clouds and snow.

Chen Decai said: "Guarding one day is one day. ”

As soon as the two of them left the palace gate, they saw their cronies waiting anxiously outside.

"Lord Wang, it's not good, Chengdu is lost!"

"What?"

Chen Decai and Lai Wenguang looked at each other and exclaimed together: "What the hell is going on? Let's go into details! ”

The cronies recounted in detail: "Lord Wang, the generals in the city surrendered, I heard that it was Lu Xian who led the way, and several princes surrendered, and Wei Jun also surrendered. ”

Chen Decai said angrily: "These villains, they are really bastards, Chengdu is an important place in western Sichuan, Chengdu is lost, western Sichuan will definitely not be able to keep it, if western Sichuan is lost, Chongqing is in danger, we are surrounded, and we can't withdraw if we want to." ”

Lai Wenguang didn't say a word, he immediately turned around and left, he was the general in charge of guarding the city wall, the Han army captured Chengdu, and it would definitely storm Chongqing, and he would personally command the heavenly army to defend the city.

Five miles outside the city, rows of artillery were fired side by side, and one cannon after another roared.

Bao Chao held the binoculars, watched the collapse of the city wall piece by piece, and scolded: "Straight thief, this cannon is different from ours, one cannon can kill several people, I can't see three days, this Xicheng will collapse sooner or later, when the time comes, let's go in and capture Hong Xiuquan alive, the first credit is still our Hunan army." ”

Zeng Guofan also felt satisfied, stroked his beard and smiled: "Cannons are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the ones we use have long been outdated, thousands of catties of things are not as good as these hundred and ten catties of cannons, I heard that the cannons are all produced by our arsenal, this Han is stronger than the Qing Dynasty by this alone, there are no foreign guns and foreign cannons, we Han people are really going to be bullied, with these things, even if the foreigners come, we will drive them back." ”

Zhou Fengshan said with a smile: "That is, when we fought with the emperor, we were always bombarded, but now it's okay, we have artillery, bombard others, happy!" Rejoice! ”

Zeng Guofan saw that the generals under his command were all arrogant and arrogant, and solemnly admonished: "Long hair can crisscross Sichuan, it's not easy to be with your peers, you will suffer a loss like this, after you go back, tell yourself that the battalion officers under your command are not allowed to underestimate the enemy, and don't be driven back after entering the city." ”

"Yes, Dashuai!"

Chen Shijie walked quickly to Zeng Guofan and reported in a low voice: "The big handsome is not good, the Han army in the direction of Chengdu is rushing in this direction, and it seems that it intends to capture Chongqing, should we send someone to negotiate?" ”

Bao Chaoli's Zeng Guofan recently heard Chen Shijie's words clearly, and when he heard the words, he immediately jumped like thunder, and scolded: "What does that little white face surnamed Zhao mean, capturing Chengdu is already a great achievement, why does he want to rob Chongqing with us, a straight thief, relying on the fact that he is the emperor's cronies, there is no one in his eyes, Dashuai, you let me lead the troops to intercept it, see if he dares to come over." ”

Seeing that many staff officers around him looked strange, Zeng Guofan immediately reprimanded: "Presumptuous! Shut up! After speaking, he seemed to deliberately say to those staff officers: "Everyone is the emperor's courtiers, what is yours and mine, since Lord Zhao captured Chengdu first, it is natural to march into Chongqing, you don't have to wonder." ”

Zeng Guofan said this, but many staff officers still found that the frequency of artillery bombardment had increased a little, and the barrels of many cannons were burned red.

Zhou Fengshan pointed to a collapsed place in front of him, and said to Zeng Guofan: "My lord, there is a crack in front of you, and there are many cracks in the surrounding city wall. ”

Bao Chao held a big knife in his hand and echoed: "Brother Zhou is right, let's kill it first, if we wait for the reinforcements from Chengdu to come over, and there is no credit, then Lord Zhao is the emperor's person, and the credit will definitely be put on his head in terms of meritorious deeds, and we have been busy for so many days." ”

Zeng Guofan didn't understand this truth, they originally planned to collapse the city wall, so that the Hunan army could rush up, no matter how fierce his long hair was, they relied on a large number of people, they would definitely be able to attack it, and flattened Hong Xiuquan, but only opened a crack, it became a tactic to add oil, the Hunan army could only enter the city through the crack, 100,000 soldiers, if they wanted to pass through, it would take several days, at that time the two sides had already killed the red eye, the city was full of blood, he had a reputation for shaving his head and hit a lot, and what merit to talk about.

Chen Shijie only had the interests of the small group of the Hunan army in his heart, and besides, their group of people had already been both prosperous and lossy, and he also persuaded: "My lord, I also think that this should be done, although the casualties are greater, but after all, it is a battle to destroy the country, and the brothers have high fighting spirit, and they will definitely be able to level Hong Xiuquan as quickly as possible." ”

Zeng Guohua complained: "The emperor is really, what do you say about cherishing the people, we are not allowed to shell the whole city, according to me, aim at Hong Xiuquan's palace, fight a few rounds of artillery alive, discipline him Hong Xiuquan ascended to heaven, and fulfilled his big dream of spring and autumn!" ”

Zhou Fengshan treated people with himself, and said with a smile: "At that time, the emperor felt sorry for the palace built by Hong Xiuquan, and listened to the spies' report, the scale was three points more luxurious than the Nanjing Palace, this is the emperor's courtyard in the future, we must not destroy it after we enter the city." ”

Several generals took turns to persuade each other, Zeng Guofan finally changed his mind, since his brothers are not afraid of death, what scruples does he have as a commander, and the emperor has always been afraid of the Hunan army, after this battle, the brothers at the bottom have made enough money, arrange for them to go home to farm, so that since then, the emperor has no scruples, can save the life of Zeng Guofan, and can pacify Chongqing as soon as possible.

"Pull the cannons over!"

Bao Chao personally commanded more than 50 cannons in three vertical rows, nearly 20 in each row, all aimed at one place.

"Put!"

"Boom, boom!"

In an instant, the earth shook, the city walls were filled with gunsmoke, stone chips flew sideways, and the roaring sound was like thunder, wave after wave.

Zeng Guofan, who was standing in the rear, was also taken aback by this movement, and sighed in his heart: What is the use of the city wall with such might, not to mention the city of Chongqing, even Beijing may not be able to hold on, no wonder as soon as the Han army arrived in Beijing, the Manchu royal family ran away.

Bao Chao smiled: "Boom! Let these rebels see, this is the end of resisting the official army. ”

Listening to Bao Chao's profligate words, Chen Shijie felt awkward, a few months ago, they were still loyal and good generals of the Manchu Dynasty, and a few months later they became officials and soldiers of the Han Dynasty, this rebellion sounds really harsh.

No matter what Chen Shijie thought, the soldiers of the Hunan army under the city wall were all smiling, wishing that all the soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would be killed by the cannons. (To be continued......)
