Chapter Forty-Seven: Zeng Tianyang (Three More Collections)
Taqibu angrily took a few of his own soldiers and came to the opposite side of Zeng Tianyang, and when he saw that he had deep eyes and long hair, and his figure was majestic, he was not afraid, and scolded: "Wu Na thief! I want to die! Look at a certain family to be fulfilled with you. ”
Zeng Tianyang took out the spear and asked Taqibu unhurriedly: "Who are you, I, Zeng Tianyang, fought the tooth sacrifice today, slaughtered you first, and then beat Changsha!" ”
This is Zeng Tianyang! Taqibu was a little flustered in an instant, the shadow of the famous tree, except for Shi Dakai, was the most fierce in Zeng Tianyang, and many officials and generals of the Qing army were folded in the two of them.
Zeng Tianyang didn't care what Tazib was thinking, and with a shout, his mount rushed up, and stabbed Tazib in the chest with a spear.
Taqib dodged in a hurry, and in a panic, he actually slipped off the horse, saw the horse in front of him, and slashed at Zeng Tianyang's horse legs, knocking Zeng Tianyang off the horse.
The two were less than three meters apart, staring at each other and beware, Zeng Tianyang's weapon was a little longer, and he played his specialty: stabbing, sweeping, and piercing, and the Taqib had no power to fight back, so he could only use a big knife to protect the vital point, and he was hit three times after a while, and a lot of blood flowed out.
The soldiers brought by Zeng Tianyang were all happy and shouted, cheering for their prime minister, and by the way, guarding against the Qing army on the opposite side.
Zeng Tianyang said proudly: "Look at you are also considered a martial artist, as long as you are willing to surrender, I will spare your life, how about it?" ”
"Phew, your grandfather would rather die than surrender, and if he has the ability, he will fight for three hundred rounds." Tazib was unwilling to give in to defeat, and forced himself to look at the enemy's arm.
Zeng Tianyang easily grabbed the big knife and kicked Taqib down with one kick, intending to kill him with a spear.
Seeing that their main general was defeated, the Qing soldiers all rushed up to surround Taqib, and Zeng Tianyang stabbed many people to death three or two, after all, he was over fifty years old, and his energy was not as good as before, so he stopped his movements and took a breath.
A Qing soldier thought that there was an opportunity, bullied forward, and was pierced in the belly by Zeng Tianyang's spear, Qing Bing held the long hair with both hands and wailed, Zeng Tianyang pulled it out a few times but couldn't pull it out.
The rest of the Qing soldiers glanced at each other, and rushed up, you stabbed and I stabbed, and killed Zeng Tianyang.
More than a dozen Taiping soldiers were stunned, three breaths ago, their own prime minister still had the upper hand, but they didn't expect to be killed by the Qing army so aggrieved, and they all cried and stepped forward to snatch the corpse.
Tazib was overjoyed and shouted to his soldiers behind him: "The long-haired master is dead, help me back to the city!" ”
……
Luo Bingzhang learned that Zeng Tianyang, the long-haired man outside the city, was beheaded, and even his voice became trembling, "This ...... This was rebellious...... Really dead? ”
Taqib, who was wrapped in bandages, replied affirmatively: "Lord Qiqi, I personally beheaded the person who had rebelled, but unfortunately I was robbed by Long Hair again, please allow me to lead the troops to pursue, and I will be able to wipe out the thieves!" ”
"Good...... God bless the Qing Dynasty, since the pseudo-Western King Xiao Chao Guifu Fa, I Hunan and the long-haired general, Your Majesty heard it, you must be happy, to the time of the wisdom of the pavilion...... The future is limitless! Luo Bingzhang thought in his heart what kind of official the emperor would reward him, but he complimented Taqibu in his mouth.
Taqibu is not stupid, thinking that this credit is still shared by everyone, this Luo Bingzhang is not Zeng Guofan, and said modestly: "It is still up to the adults to arrange the overall situation and contain the long-haired army, so that I can kill this thief!" ”
Luo Bingzhang looked very happy, and he did not refuse Taqib's request, "Since Zhiting wants to make a contribution, I can't stop it, so I will allow you to lead five thousand soldiers and horses to chase and kill Changmao." ”
"Master Xie, it's okay to go to your job." Tazib's whole mind was on Long Hair, and he didn't bother with it, and went directly to the barracks.
Out of Changsha, Zhu Sunyi complained to Taqibu: "Why is Zhiting asking for hardship, since killing the long-haired prime minister is a great achievement, why bother to chase and kill the long-haired remnants, if there is an accident and the battle is lost, the credit will be gone." ”
Zhou Fengshan listened attentively on the side, and he also felt that the pursuit of Changmao was a redundant move, and if he won, he should have won; If you lose, you may have to commit a felony.
Taqib put his heart in his heart, "If we don't annihilate this group of long hairs, they will flow in the direction of Yueyang, if Zeng Dashuai is not prepared, this will be a loss, I, Taqibu is deeply favored by Dashuai, how can I let it go!" ”
Zhou Fengshan was ashamed, he was not from a good background, he usually worked in the countryside, to put it bluntly, he was just a **gangster, and he was also appreciated by Zeng Guofan and promoted to a battalion officer. Every time I eat and sleep, I remind myself to repay, but I didn't expect to almost hurt my benefactor today, and I broke out in a cold sweat, and hugged my fist at Taqibu and said: "What Zhiting said is very true, if I hurt Zeng Dashuai because of this, I will die and will not be able to atone for his sins." ”
I didn't expect the usually impulsive and belligerent reckless man to think of this layer! Zhu Sunyi was a little impressed by Taqib, and he also thought of this, but he didn't want to take risks, so he didn't mention it to Taqib and Zhou Fengshan, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't avoid the battle, and he felt ashamed and no longer objected.
The crowd led the army to chase after the long-haired retreat......
"Report ...... Long Mao was resting in Lijia Town in front, and did not send anyone to patrol, and it seemed that he was making a fire and cooking. ”
Zhu Sunyi said excitedly: "Great, Changmao suddenly lost the main general, and the army's morale is weak, it is our opportunity to make meritorious contributions, Zhiting quickly order." ”
Taqib first ordered his soldiers to spread the news of Changmao's cooking, boosted morale, and said to Zhou Fengshan: "You take 500 people to rush into the town from the left to prevent fire, you must make the momentum bigger and make Longhair panic." He said to Zhu Sunyi again: "Shi Qiao, you take 2,000 people to kill from the right, don't have any scruples, kill directly to the center of the town and join me." ”
Zhou Fengshan and Zhu Sunyi each led soldiers and horses to pass through from the left and right.
When Tazib saw the fire in the town, he shouted, "Kill the longhair, kill the ......"
The Taiping army did not take precautions, some resisted in the town, and some fled in all directions, and were killed and defeated.
The three armies gradually converged together, looking at the hundreds of Changmao who were divided and surrounded, Zhu Sunyi said happily: "Hurry up and report to Changsha, our army met Changmao in Lijia Town, and killed more than 10,000 people in a fierce battle, and his own casualties were only more than 1,000 people." ”
Zhou Fengshan looked at Taqib with admiration, and unconsciously regarded himself as his subordinate, and asked, "My lord, what should we do next?" Are you going back to Changsha? ”
Taqibu wiped the blood stains on the knife, spat on it, and replied: "No need, just make a detour to Yueyang and meet the big handsome." ”
"But what about the long hair? There are still a lot of Changsha green battalion soldiers who haven't returned? Zhu Sunyi didn't want to go back, he was a politician, not a general, and he decided not to take risks after thinking about what benefits he could get.
Zhou Fengshan was very satisfied with Taqib's decision, "Now that the siege of Changsha has been lifted, it is useless for these green battalion soldiers to go back, it is better to bring them all to Yueyang, and it can also come in handy." He looked at the hundreds of surrendered longhairs again, and said fiercely: "As for these longhairs, cut off their heads and take them to Yueyang, and see that the defenders in the city can still be shrunken turtles with peace of mind!" ”
Zhu Sunyi thought about it again and again, and felt that the Hunan army still had a cheap advantage to take advantage of, and he couldn't make trouble with them, especially not to let Zeng Guofan see that he had two hearts, and agreed: "Yes, Zhiting is right, the big handsome is now the time when we need us, let's hurry up and rush to Yueyang!" ”
Bao Qibao found Luo Bingzhang aggressively, "My lord, how can you make your own decisions and let Taqibu take away the entire Green Battalion, that is my soldier!" ”
Luo Bingzhang put down the book in his hand, got up and comforted: "Why should you be nervous, Lord Admiral, Zhiting and the green battalion soldiers are also going to kill thieves and serve the country, and they are not going to play in the mountains and rivers." ”
Bao Qi said in his heart, I am nervous when I go to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and lead my soldiers to fight, but without my credit, how can this be done, and retorted: "It is important to pursue the remnants of the army or Changsha, if Changsha is lost, you and I can't afford it!" ”
Talking to these Qiu Ba about serving the country is really playing the piano to the cow, and they are the best at making money! The last thing you can do is to fight!
Luo Bingzhang said with a calm face: "Lord Bao, let's go back and wait for the news, your share of credit is indispensable." ”
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Bao Qibao's face changed instantly, and he said carefully: "Then the official won't disturb Lord Luo." ”
Looking at Bao Qibao's back, Luo Bingzhang became bored, in peacetime, it is not bad to have such a partner, but now that the situation is turbulent, such a waste cannot be counted on.
Luo Bingzhang did it when he thought of it, and spread out the fold and wrote: The ministers wept and played blood, the long hair surrounded Changsha, and the admiral Bao Qibao was incompetent and cowardly......
