Li Hongzhang led people directly to the east gate, and he found that for some reason, the defensive strength of the city gate has been strengthened a lot, and the city gate tower is full of wood, stones and other defensive things, and the strong bow and crossbow are also ready, it seems that it is going to fight a big battle.

Li Hongzhang felt a little abnormal, he was about to send someone forward to ask what was going on, but he saw Zeng Guoquan, who was supervising the army behind, rushing forward, and before Zeng Guoquan arrived in front of Li Hongzhang, he had already shouted anxiously: "Military division, something happened." ”.

"Guoquan, don't worry, what's wrong?" Li Hongzhang asked in a deep voice.

"Military Division, I just received an urgent report, Zeng San, Hu Er, and the men and horses led by General Luo Er were attacked outside the garrison of the Shence Army, and they suffered heavy casualties." Zeng Guoquan's expression was solemn.

"Alas" Li Hongzhang shouted, only to feel a pain in his heart, and almost fell off the horse.

"Strategist, be careful." Fortunately, Peng Yulin next to him was quick and quickly helped him.

"It's okay, it's okay, Guoquan, what did you just say, can you tell me in more detail?" Li Hongzhang patted Peng Yulin's arm, even said that it was okay, and then turned his head and asked Zeng Guoquan what he had just said.

"Military division, when Zeng San, Hu and Luo led the army to attack the Shence army station, unfortunately fell into the ambush of the Shence army and was surrounded by the Shence army, the situation is critical, please make a decision as soon as possible." Zeng Guoquan melancholy authentic.

"Guoquan, how can this be, impossible, even if the enemy has an ambush, our people will not be so bad, we will use 100,000 people against 100,000 people." Li Hongzhang has a rod scale in his heart.

"Military division, the specific situation is unknown, it still needs to be further understood, and it is a top priority. It's better to hurry up and find a way to help San'er and them break the siege," Zeng Guoquan said anxiously.

"Okay, Guoquan, you lead a part of the soldiers, here to monitor every move here, it's best to find a way to contact the commander, if there is anything abnormal, report immediately, I personally lead the rest of the people to relieve the siege of Zeng San, remember, before finding out the enemy's situation, don't act rashly, from the current situation, we seem to have fallen into a big net arranged by the enemy in advance, and everything seems to have been premeditated, so, 10 million, you must be careful." The priorities are still very clear.

"Yes, the end will know." Zeng Guoquan hugged his fist.

"Okay, be careful, we're going." Li Hongzhang told Zeng Guoquan again, and then led the army to leave in a hurry.

Li Hongzhang led the army did not go far, he heard the sound of killing in front of him, as soon as he heard it, he knew that the two warring sides must be the Hunan army and the Qing army, he was so anxious that he couldn't wait to have wings and fly directly to the battlefield.

Li Hongzhang is urging the army to move forward with all its might. When they arrived, they saw the Shence Army and the Taiping Army fighting for their lives. Li Hongzhang couldn't help but sigh with emotion. is born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other, yesterday I was still calling myself a brother, but today I want you to live or die.

However, Li Hongzhang didn't care so much, as soon as the army arrived, he immediately urged the army to kill directly in the middle of the battlefield, because Zeng San and the others were surrounded there.

Zeng San and others were trapped for a long time, they were already sleepy and tired, although they were fighting hard, but there were too many enemies, no matter how they killed, they also thought about breaking through, but after trying a few times, they were blocked back, so they also died of this heart, bent on killing and injuring the enemy as much as possible, and delaying time, they believed that as long as Li Hongzhang knew that they were surrounded, he would definitely rush to the rescue.

The development of this shape shì was also as Zeng San and others expected, Li Hongzhang came, and was killing the place where they were trapped, Zeng San and others couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw this, in order to cooperate with Li Hongzhang's assault, they once again led their troops to break out.

With the same force inside and outside, the defense line of the Shence Army was torn open, and Li Hongzhang finally converged with Zeng San and others, and then, the two forces were concentrated together. At the same time, they rushed out, as long as they saw the trapped Hunan army on the way, they would take advantage of the situation to save them, so that their team was gathering more and more, and the strength was getting bigger and bigger, and the pressure on the side of the Shence army increased greatly.

As the momentum of the Hunan army's assault became more and more vigorous, the defense line of the Shence army began to crumble. At the last moment, I suddenly heard the sound of trumpets around me, and a lot of Qing troops poured out of nowhere, blocking the way out of the Hunan army.

In this way, the defense line of the Shence Army that was disturbed by the Hunan Army was no longer in shape, but due to the addition of the new force, it was once again stabilized.

Seeing this scene, Li Hongzhang secretly said, Oops, he understands in his heart. Something bad.

He didn't know for a moment. Why did such a group of Qing soldiers suddenly come out, not only blocking their escape route, but also suppressing the morale they had just raised. Li Hongzhang was worried.

"Strategist, what should I do?" Zeng San waved his gun and knocked over a few Qing soldiers, and came to Li Hongzhang's side and asked.

"I don't know, let me think about it." Li Hongzhang must think.

"We're not going to be out of the house, are we?" Zeng San was also a little worried.

"No, there must be a way to stand out, don't worry too much." Li Hongzhang comforted.

"The last general is not worried about himself, the last general is worried about the future of the Hunan army, thinking that our Hunan army has dominated the world for so long, when has it been so wolf, this can't help but make people worry." Zeng San rarely showed such an expression.

"San'er, we have to have confidence in ourselves." Li Hongzhang encouraged.

"Yes, Strategist." Zeng San nodded.

"By the way, San'er, why did you fall into an ambush?" Li Hongzhang asked. He had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but he never found the opportunity.

"We don't really understand, we just know that we just came here, and we were ambushed in a daze, only to see countless Shence troops rushing out from front to back, left and right, at the beginning, we didn't put them in our eyes, because we knew that they were not numerous, at most they were on par with us, and compared with combat effectiveness, the Hunan army was definitely still above them, so even if we were ambushed, we were not in a hurry. Who knows, the further the future, the more and more the Shence Army will be. There are too many to kill, and according to the general's estimates, the number of Shence troops attacking us will never be less than 200,000. Zeng San said dejectedly.

"What, two hundred thousand? How is it possible, the entire Shence army adds up to only 200,000, and Monk Greenqin obviously took away 100,000 people, and excluding some people who guard the four gates, there should be no more than 100,000 people really stationed here, but now you say that there are 200,000 people. How is this possible? Li Hongzhang was taken aback. Whatever he said, he didn't believe it.

"The military advisor can not believe in the last general, but the military advisor must believe in the combat effectiveness of the Hunan army, but. Ever since we were besieged. has always been at the point of being passively beaten. Without the slightest ability to fight back, is this something that a hundred thousand divine forces can do? Strategists, do you believe that they only have 100,000 men? "Zeng Sandao.

"This ......" Li Hongzhang was speechless for a while. The truth that Zeng San said is quite simple, but it is an indisputable fact.

"Strategist, you say, can't this be a trap given to us by Monk Greenqin?" Zeng San guessed.

"Monk Greenqin, it's impossible, I saw him out of the city with my own eyes, could it be that this is also false." Li Hongzhang's mind was a little messy.

"Won't he get his rifle back? Perhaps, the purpose of so much pomp and circumstance in front of him may be to show us, so as to lead us to be fooled. Although Zeng San's words are only speculation, they are not unreasonable.

"San'er, when you say this, you really remind me, that's right, we can't rule out the possibility that Seng Lingqin drugged us, don't say it, the more I think about it, the more I think what you said, there is really such a possibility, you think, if it weren't for this, how could you conjure so many Shence troops out of thin air, that is to say, there is only one possibility, that is, the 100,000 Shence army that Seng Greenqin took away is simply an illusion made by this old guy, the purpose is to paralyze us, so as to lead us to be fooled, I really didn't see it, This guy's heart is really vicious. Li Hongzhang gradually figured it out.

"Strategist, this guy doesn't look like a good person in any place, don't forget, our handsome man was planted in his hands." Zeng San didn't have a good impression of Monk Greenqin.

"Alas, it's just that I still underestimate him too much, I guess this guy shouldn't do it to us so soon for the time being, because he still needs to use us to deal with the Taiping Army, but I didn't expect that this guy would be so impatient." Li Hongzhang regretted a little, he was too confident.

"It seems that Monk Lingqin has planned it for a long time, does he already know about our uprising?" I don't know how to do it, Zeng San's brain is very flexible today, and his thinking is very active.

"Needless to say, can he trap us so easily without careful planning?" The more Li Hongzhang thought about it, the more he felt that Monk Greenqin was really fucking bad.

"Military advisors, in addition to the Shence Army, who are the Qing troops who have just come over, looking at their attire, they don't look like ordinary Eight Banners and Green Battalion soldiers." Zeng San has a lot of questions today.

"They're a forbidden army." Li Hongzhang's face also began to become solemn.

"Forbidden Army?" Zeng San repeated.

"That's right, the forbidden army, the most elite personal soldier around Emperor Xianfeng, is usually commanded by Monk Greenqin, they are really willing to spend their money, it seems that a vicious battle is inevitable." Li Hongzhang smiled bitterly.

"They want to eat us, aren't they afraid of breaking their teeth" Zeng San was very confident in the Hunan army.

"They are afraid, if they are not afraid, they will not take out all the power to press the bottom of the box, and they also secretly set up such a poisonous plan to deal with us, which just shows that they are afraid of us to death." Li Hongzhang said this, with a look of pride on his face.

"Strategist, the cause and effect of this are almost clear, so what should we do now?" Zeng San blows and blows water is okay, but when it comes to doing the right thing, he has to let Li Hongzhang find a way.

"Now there is no way to break this situation, the only way to solve this crisis is to work hard, kill one, enough capital, kill two, earn one." Li Hongzhang said calmly.

It's strange to say, when he first fell into a critical situation, Li Hongzhang was a little nervous and a little worried, but after thinking about everything clearly, he felt that it didn't matter, anyway, things were like this, no matter how much he wanted, he could only fight.

"Okay, military advisor, then let's kill us today, doesn't that old guy want to eat us in one bite, then let's have a more ruthless fight with him, even if we can't kill him, we have to let him break his teeth, we have to let them know that there is a price to pay for gnawing hard bones." Li Hongzhang's words are exactly what Zeng San meant.

"Okay, San'er, you go and pass on my order, just say, we have no hope of breaking through, the only way out is to fight to the death with the Qing army, if you are willing to follow us, we welcome and express gratitude, if you are not willing to follow us, we are not reluctant, they can choose their own path." Li Hongzhang said.

Zeng San promised to rush to give the order. (To be continued......)
