Time is running out, Huang Xu and his special combat team have other target people to take care of, so he can't do too much entanglement with Wallace, he can only take him away first, and then talk.

As a result, Wallace became Huang Xu's captive.

After successfully getting Wallace, Huang Xu and the others attacked the others according to the predetermined target, and they were all very smooth, except for some officers who needed to be on duty in the army, they killed most of the targets.

Unbelievably smooth.

And this special operations raid, they can be said to have won a complete victory.

Of course, it would be even more perfect if it could go one step further.

And the last step in this perfection is to open the city gates, as long as the city gates are opened, then their surprise battle will be considered perfect, in short, perfect can not be more perfect.

So, Huang Xu and the others immediately prepared, and then quickly moved closer to the city gate.

They want to take the opportunity to embrace this perfection.

At this time, there are still more than two hours before dawn, and some people who need to do the morning market have begun to go to the streets, if Huang Xu and others do not grasp the time, the opportunity will be fleeting, and once the time passes, if they want to open the city gate again, it will take a lot of effort.

Huang Xu and the others were well aware of this, so they hurried to get close to the city gate.

And the progress of the matter is surprisingly smooth, the Indian army defending the city did not expect Huang Xu and others to break into the city, let alone that they would raid the city gate from the reverse from inside the city, so all along, the Indian army has only focused on preventing the Taiping army outside the city from attacking the city, but it does not care much about the defense inside the city.

As a result, the Taiping army was able to successfully attack very smoothly.

After the Taiping army captured the city gate, it resisted the counterattack of the Indian army on the one hand, and raised fire as a signal on the other hand, echoing the army into the city.

But. After all, the special combat team has few people, and it is difficult for them to resist with two fists and four hands, and it is impossible for them to resist for a long time here, and this is really not their forte, so the Taiping army entered the city as much as possible. This is the right way.

And Tian Xiaoer and the others who were ambushed outside the city were also anxious at this time, they had been waiting outside for too long, but they had been waiting for the information of Huang Xu and others, and they were planning whether they needed to send someone to investigate the progress of Huang Xu and others, but they didn't think that he had not moved, but the torches at the city gate had been lit.

This is clearly a signal to attack.

Seeing this, Tian Xiaoer couldn't help but be overjoyed, he waved his big hand, and immediately issued an order to the army to enter the city.

All of a sudden. Thousands of horses galloped, iron hooves.

The cavalry of the Taiping army first rushed into the city, and as soon as they entered the city, it was like a dragon entering the sea.

Under the brave charge of the Taiping army, the Indian army only symbolically resisted a few times, and then began to scatter and flee. They were already strong outsiders, and most of the officers were beheaded by the special combat team led by Huang Xu. The defenders in the city were leaderless, and the rout was expected.

In the end, there must be no suspense about the victory of the Taiping army.

According to the prior deployment, Tian Xiaoer and the army led by Bao Ping'an acted separately, and soon took control of the situation in the city.

Cui Min and Lu Qingtian seized the four doors as planned.

Yu Yilong and Duan Yihu got their wish to occupy grain, grass and ordnance.

Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng were after breaking the city. is mainly responsible for the all-out slaughter of the Anglo-Indian coalition army, and at this time they are like tigers entering the flock, which is a good killing.

And Luo Xuan, Lin Fengxiang, and Li Kaifang originally thought that they could steal a little leisure. They didn't expect the battle to end quickly, and they had to go to the field quickly, because it was their responsibility to maintain law and order in the city.

In the end, in less than two hours, the Taiping army took control of the entire Assam Pass, placing it between the palms of their hands.

The capture of Assam Pass is like opening a Pandora's box that swept through the entire western part of India, and there will be no danger to defend as far as New Delhi, the stronghold of the British and Indian armies.

The Taiping Army did a good job in this battle, and the surprise attack of Huang Xu and others this time was also perfect.

After taking the Assam Pass, the army rested in the pass for a few days, and then under the command of Tian Xiaoer and others, they began to capture the important towns of the Indian Western Front in turn, and in the face of the powerful offensive of the Taiping Army, the important towns of the Indian Western Front fell into the hands of the Taiping Army one by one.

Roughly calculated, in less than half a month, the Western Route Army led by Tian Xiaoer and others had penetrated deep into the deepest part of the Western Front, and slowly began to approach Xindeli, the base camp of the British and Indian Army.

And William and Montgomery I, who were sitting in Singapore, heard bad news a lot of bad news during the month and a half, and received bad news almost all the time.

At first they were discolored, surprised, and angry, but by the end they had become numb.

As the saying goes, lice don't itch, debts don't worry, they are now deaf and not afraid of thunder, dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, but they have become able to deal with everything without being surprised.

However, they were forced to ignore other places and let it fall into the hands of the Taiping army, but they could not ignore Xindeli, and they did not take care of it, but they also managed it well, because the consequences of not managing it well would be very strict.

After discussion, William and Montgomery I decided to completely shrink the defensive line, deploy all the limited forces of the British and Indian troops around the base camp of Xindeli, concentrate on the key defense of Xindeli, and if possible, they will do their best to fight the Taiping army in Xindeli.

In the days that followed, the Anglo-Indian army invested a lot of resources, not only building dozens of defensive lines around Sindeli, but also rebuilding the defense system of Sindeli itself, almost making Sindeli an impregnable fortress.

Montgomery believed that as long as the Taiping army attacked, there would be no return.

Of course, it is impossible for the Taiping Army not to know about these actions in Xinde, and these have been detected in detail by the intelligence department of the Taiping Army and sent to the desks of all high-ranking members of the Taiping Army.

However, Huang Xu and others were not in a hurry to use troops against Xindeli, and the main energy of the Taiping army at the moment was still to sweep the important strongholds around Xindeli, and only after these territories were completely occupied, the Taiping army would launch a final blow to Xindeli.

If you want to kill the beasts, you must first pull out their fangs and grasp them, and only if you get rid of these mighty things, then the most ferocious beasts can only be slaughtered.

The Anglo-Indian army had basically given up these peripheral territories, so the Taiping army took these territories into their pockets without much effort, and now, the only thing the Anglo-Indian army could rely on was Xindel.

Then, next, the Taiping Army's goal will be directed at Xindeli.

Of course, it's time to get your hands dirty with Xindeli.

Before the official attack on Xindeli, according to the usual practice, Huang Xu convened a huge military meeting, all the commanders of the core army corps participated, except for the necessary generals left for the necessary generals to defend the territory, all the other generals attended the meeting, while the Western Route Army left Yu Yilong and Duan Yihu, and the Eastern Route Army left Hu Linyi and Luo Zenan.

And these generals who attended the meeting included:

Tian Xiaoer, the commander of the Western Route Army, Dongfang Bufu, the deputy marshal, and the generals include Cui Min, Bao Ping'an, Lu Qingtian, Li Xiucheng, Chen Yucheng, Luo Xuan, Li Shixian, Wei Jun, Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, and the military advisor Zhuge Blowing the lamp and others.

The commander of the East Route Army, Zeng Guofan, the deputy marshal Zuo Zongtang, and the generals Hu Linyi, Luo Zenan, Peng Yulin, Zeng Guohua, Zeng Guoquan, Zeng San, Li Yuandu, Luo Bingzhang, Liu Kunyi, Jiang Zhongyuan, Hu Sier, and military advisor Li Hongzhang and others.

It's really star-studded and star-studded.

The meeting was still presided over by the military leader, Commander-in-Chief Zeng Guofan.

First of all, Zeng Guofan reported to everyone present on the main military operations launched by the Eastern Route Army in recent times and the results achieved.

Then, Tian Xiaoer made the same report on behalf of the Western Route Army.

All in all, fruitful.

After the two of them, Huang Xu also made a concluding speech, in addition to affirming the war against India, but also verbally commended the brilliant achievements on all fronts, he thanked everyone for their efforts in the war, and promised on the spot that once the war against India is over, he will reward the meritorious personnel in this battle in accordance with the laws of the empire.

After Huang Xu finished speaking, it was a time for free discussion, everyone could talk casually, talk casually, and relax.

Of course, after relaxing, you have to cut to the main topic of this conference.

There is only one theme for this conference, and that is about New Delhi.

How to attack and what strategy to use to capture New Delhi are the main topics to be discussed at this meeting.

Once the topic was confirmed, the discussion began.

The first session, again performed by Tsang Kuo-fan, introduced the latest information from New Delhi reported by the Intelligence Service and emphasized the difficulty of attacking New Delhi.

According to intelligence, the British and Indian troops have made a lot of preparations in New Delhi, so it may be difficult for the Taiping Army to go to New Delhi this time.

After Zeng Guofan finished talking about the relevant issues, it was time for them to express their opinions.

Everyone knows that this cannon is not easy to fight, so no one wants to be this bird.

And unexpectedly, the first person to stand up and speak this time was Li Xiucheng. (To be continued......)
