The special operations detachment led by the three brothers Huang Xu advanced quickly, and after a while, they reached a place only fifty meters away from the city gate. It was only at this time that the Qing army woke up from a dream, and it turned out that the real intention of these formidable enemies was the city gate, and they immediately rose up to resist, desperately preventing the special operations detachment from advancing forward.

The special operations detachment moved forward aggressively, while the Qing army was fearless to stop it, and the final result could only be that the Qing army died more and more, but the speed of the special operations detachment's advance was extremely slow

"Big brother, according to the report of the sentinel dispatched, the Qing army's reinforcement army has arrived, there are more than 30,000 people, what should I do, let's withdraw?" Dongfang, who was rejecting the enemy in the rear, was not confused, so he came from behind and reported the latest situation to Huang Xu.

Before climbing to the city tower, the deployment of the special operations detachment was that Dongfang Bufu led the people in front, Huang Xu responded in the center, and Tian Xiaoer was in the back, and after killing to the city gate, it became Huang Xu to lead the people to assault in front, Tian Xiaoer was in the center, and Dongfang Bufu was responsible for the rear.

And at this moment, the 30,000 army that Dongfang Bufu said should refer to the power of the one deployed by Seng Lingqin in the city.

30,000? Even if the ability of the special operations detachment far exceeds that of ordinary people, this kind of strength is not something they can compete with, besides, the strength of the special operations detachment is surprise attacks and special operations, not frontal field combat with the enemy, and more importantly, the special combat team members are all elites, and if they die under these random knives and guns, it will be a bit uncost-effective.

It seems that it can only be withdrawn first, Huang Xu thought to himself.

However, even if he made up his mind, he still had a trace of unwillingness in his heart, the city gate was in front of him, but it suddenly became the end of the world, how could he be willing, but the reality made him not hesitate at all, he had to make up his mind.

"How far is the enemy brigade from here?" Huang Xu swung his knife and slashed over a Qing general, turned around and asked.

At this time, Huang Xu could already hear a huge roar coming from not far away.

"It's about five miles away." Dongfang Bufu also had a trace of worry on his face, although he was brave, he was not brave enough to resist tens of thousands of troops.

"Withdraw, Dongfang, the front team becomes the back team, you are in the front, Xiao Er is in the middle, I am in the back, kill in the direction of the city tower, and we will kill Lu from the original road." The general trend is irreversible, Huang Xu observed the reality of the Qing army around him, and saw that the heavy troops were gathered at the gate of the city, but there were not many Qing troops in the direction of the city tower, so he decisively ordered.

"Yes." Dongfang Bufu hurriedly turned around and led the army to kill backwards.

When the Qing army saw that the special combat team abandoned the city gate, they suddenly killed backwards in disguise, and they were a little caught off guard, and when they reacted and wanted to surround it, the special combat team had broken through their defense line like a whirlwind and ran in the direction of the city tower.

The Qing army let out a roar of rage and hurriedly pursued, because the Qing army expected that the target of the attack of the special detachment was the city gate, so they concentrated most of their strength in the direction of the city gate for sniping, but at this time, the special operations detachment broke through in the opposite direction, breaking through from the direction of the city tower where the Qing army's strength was slightly weak.

With Huang Xu's order, the special operations detachment took out the rope with a hook in the backpack and firmly tied it to the city wall pier, and then grabbed the rope with both hands, facing the direction of the city wall, like a frog jumping, jumping down. At this time, the order of the special combat team's retreat changed again, and it became that Tian Xiao's second team was in the direction, Huang Xu was in the center, and Dongfang was leading people to cover behind.

Needless to say, the Qing army's brigade has arrived, and the defenders of the city tower, who have been entangled with the special combat team, can only let the archers move forward and launch a crazy arrow attack on the special operations detachment that jumped down from the city, the sharp arrows are full of the anger of the Qing army, and they are venting towards the special operations detachment, but everything is already late, with the laughter of the big man who is not confused by the east, the special operations detachment has gone far.

Soon after the detachment left, the monk Greenqin who received the report hurriedly came, and when he saw that the city gate was still in the hands of the Qing army, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he touched the cold sweat on his forehead, and his heart was still beating wildly.

He was glad nothing had happened. If the gates were really breached, then he would be dead.

Monk Greenqin inspected the defense of the city gate, especially to the place where the Taiping army turned over the city to see, and then asked the city gate guard in detail about the situation when the enemy attacked, the city gate general did not reserve, 1510 answered, Monk Greenqin listened, pondered for a long time, and did not come to a conclusion after the most reluctant.

However, there is one thing, Monk Grinqin can be sure that this matter must be inseparable from the Taiping army, otherwise, other people would not have come here so boringly to send them to death.

And what really shocked Seng Lingqin was that the Taiping Army had trained such a team of soldiers, it was really terrible, if it was really as the city gate guard said, then. These people are simply not human, elusive, and have strange tactics, which are unguardable and make people shudder when they hear it.

Monk Lingqin was a little annoyed, he simply didn't dare to imagine, if this group of people appeared here next time, then how would he deal with it, he thought of Prince Gong, yes, he had to go back and discuss with Prince Gong.

Thinking of going to Prince Gong for help again, Seng Lingqin felt a little melancholy in his heart, but he was quickly relieved, all this is for the sake of the Qing Dynasty! This reason can relieve him of a lot of burden.

Having made up his mind, Seng Lingqin explained to the city gate guard again, and divided the 30,000 troops in charge of patrolling into three teams, which were enriched into the city defense in the three directions of the southeast, east and west gates, and as for the north gate, he mobilized another army to assist in the town defense.

After doing this, Monk Greenqin left in a hurry, and he was going to go to Monk Greenqin to discuss the matter of dealing with the Taiping Army's special operations detachment.

After Huang Xu led the special operations detachment to break away from Xuzhou City, he galloped in the direction of the Taiping Army's garrison for a while, and then joined Yang Yiqing, Duan Yihu, Fu Zhongxin and other generals who led the army to ambush outside Xuzhou City. Huang Xu waved his hand and didn't say much, just asked him to lead the army and return to the camp temporarily.

Although Yang Yiqing was puzzled, since Huang Xu didn't want to say more, he knew that it was useless to ask, so he could only follow the order.

After Yang Yiqing's big return, the special operations detachment was temporarily stayed, according to Huang Xu's meaning, they still have something to do.

"Big brother, it's just a little bit close, and we've succeeded." Tian Xiaoer felt very sorry for tonight's incident.

"The world is like this, the difference is a millimeter, the error is thousands of miles, you are close to success, it does not mean that you have succeeded, okay, don't talk about this, there is nothing to pity, we still have a chance." Huang Xu is optimistic.

"Big brother, do you have any other plans for you to stay?" Tian Xiaoer guessed that Huang Xu must have something to do, so everyone continued to stay.

"That's right, our special operations team has other arrangements, by the way, how about the casualties of the brothers?" Huang Xu nodded, and then asked about the casualties of the special operations detachment.

"The casualties were a bit serious, a total of 21 brothers were killed in the battle, more than 10 brothers were seriously injured, and seven or eight were slightly injured." Speaking of casualties, Tian Xiaoer's expression was a little gloomy.

"Have all the brothers killed or injured been arranged?" Huang Xu's face is also not good-looking.

Seriously, he didn't expect the casualties to be so large, the special operations team only had a total of about 100 people, and nearly 40 people were knocked down at once, how could Huang Xu feel good in his heart.

"Well, all the brothers who were killed and wounded have returned to the camp with General Yang's brigade." Tian Xiaoer nodded and said.

"Well, in this operation, we seriously underestimated the situation of the Qing army, resulting in excessive losses of the special combat team, which is my responsibility." Huang Xu understood that they were too careless this time.

It is not an exaggeration to say that every member of the special combat team is the essence of the Taiping Army, even if it is sacrificed one, it is not a small blow to the special combat team, not to mention that it has lost so much at once, it is no wonder that Huang Xu is not heartbroken.

"Big brother, you don't need to blame yourself, there is no victorious general in this world, and this incident is not a bad thing for the special combat team, the special combat team has been too smooth in previous operations, basically invincible, and every time it has achieved the predetermined goal at a very small cost, which has fueled the arrogance of the special combat team, and they all think that they are already the first in the world, so this time the failure also came at the right time, which also makes every team member understand that they are not gods, but people." Tian Xiaoer made another note on this matter.

Tian Xiaoer has been leading the special combat team for more than a day or two, since its formation, he has been one of the core figures of the special combat team, and he is much more familiar with the situation of the special combat team than Huang Xu, so his words may be more convincing than Huang Xu.

"Little Er, since you know that there is such a problem in the Dao Special Combat Team, why don't you solve it as soon as possible?" Huang Xu said in a slightly reproachful tone.

"Big brother, this is also my carelessness, I thought that as long as these boys and little snacks were a little loss, they would also understand that there are people outside the world, and there is a truth outside the sky, who knows, this lesson is so painful." This result is also out of Tian Xiaoer's estimate.

"Little Er, this is a lesson, a profound lesson, after going back here this time, in view of this failure, summarize it well, and make some targeted improvements to our tactical course. As the saying goes, failure is the mother of success, and I hope that all the team members can learn from this battle and strive not to make the same mistakes in the future." Huang Xu knew that Daotian Xiaoer's heart was also tormented, so it was inconvenient for him to continue to blame.

"Yes, big brother, we know the truth." Not only Tian Xiaoer, but also Dongfang Bufu next to him nodded, Dongfang was also one of the leaders of the special combat team, and he couldn't stand idly by.

"Alright, that's the end of it." Huang Xu sighed, put a close touch on this matter, he paused, and said, "Let's talk about the mission left here."

Seeing that Huang Xu finally said the purpose of staying, Tian Xiaoer and Dongfang couldn't help but glance at each other, their eyes full of doubts.

"At dawn tomorrow, Dongfang and I will lead three team members, pretending to be sellers and buyers who have entered the city, and sneak into Xuzhou City to find out the situation, Xiao Er, you are responsible for leading the rest of the team members to answer here." Huang Xu said the reason for staying.

"Big brother, it's better for me to go with Dongfang, you stay and pick up." Tian Xiaoer felt that Huang Xu was not suitable to go, no matter what he said, he was the commander of the army.

"Okay, Xiao Er, you don't have to fight anymore, obey the order." Huang Xu insisted.

"Yes." Tian Xiaoer said helplessly.

"Okay, now. Xiao Er, you take people to guard, others rest, tomorrow morning, act on time." Huang Xu said again.

All the people answered, divided their heads, and rested. (To be continued......)
