A short but fierce cavalry battle ended on the east side of the Taiping military camp.

After Ling Jie fled back to Wujiang with three hundred cavalry, more than a dozen lone cavalrymen fled one after another. But the remaining cavalry of about 600 cavalry was never spared. Most of them were beheaded by the Taiping army, or fell from their horses in the chaos and died under the trampling of horses' hooves, and about 100 cavalry finally chose to surrender.

At this time, the fire in the eastern half of the camp had not even been extinguished.

"Victory!"

Yan Dongxing's mood was extremely excited, although with his identity, he was not the most core group in the Taiping Army, but he knew that General Tiangong valued himself very much. The reason why he is subordinate to Ning Gui is only because he is not qualified enough and it is difficult to convince the public. After this battle, winning an unprecedented victory, not only did the Taiping Army have a bright future, but he was also able to go further by virtue of the great achievements made by the commander of the horse team.

Although in order to win this battle, the Taiping army horse team itself also suffered huge losses, at least sixty or seventy horsemen were killed or wounded, but this qiē was worth it.

There is no one who can stop the Taiping army from capturing Songjiang!

As the news of the cavalry victory spread, thousands of infantry soldiers on the main battlefield of the Taiping Army also cheered. The cries of Qianyuan being dead and Taiping standing were deafening, making the defenders at the head of Yuyang Mansion turn pale one by one. Hong Fei was too excited before, and the bandage of the wound collapsed. At this moment, I was reminded by the pain, and I wanted to put the bandage back on, but my fingers trembled unobediently, and I tried three times before I succeeded.

"Lord Castle Guard, right now...... What to do? ”

After temporarily treating the wound, Hong Fei looked at his henchmen not far away, made a look, and then looked at the Yuyang City Guard who was still stunned, and asked in a low voice.

"What else can I do?" Yuyang City stood stunned for a moment, and sighed: "I can only defend ...... You! Do you think so? He sensed the abnormality from Hong Fei's face, and realized that the other party seemed to mean something else, and couldn't help but be surprised. He looked left and right, lowered his voice and said, "What are you thinking?" He was going to be a thief! ”

"The problem is, we can't hold it!"

Of course, Hong Fei didn't want to be a thief, so he said helplessly: "If there is still hope, how can I do this." But now, you know the situation inside the city, as soon as Ling Jie's troops leave, there is no hope for reinforcements outside. If you don't surrender, the thief army will break the city in the end, and everyone will be finished together! Besides, I think this gang of thieves may be able to do it...... Qianyuan Guozuo has been in power for more than 300 years, which is not short. ”

The last sentence, the voice was as low as a mosquito, but Yuyang City Shou heard it. The heart that was originally like ashes shook violently.

The Qianyuan Empire was founded in 317 years of the continental calendar, and this year is 672, which is almost 355 years!

Looking at the past dynasties, it must not be short.

Is it really going to change the dynasty?

However, the empire's twenty counties and millions of troops don't look like a sign of the country's demise!

Yuyang Chengshou still hesitated in his heart, but Hong Fei already knew that he was shaken, and made up his mind to persuade him: "Looking at the previous dynasty, not all of them died due to internal troubles, but also from external enemies. Now the shape of the empire is also known to you, and the shape of the river is declining on three sides. These bandit troops from Taiping County under the city have been pushed forward for thirty years, but they are afraid that they will be exterminated as soon as they come out. And now, they have not only won every battle, but also occupied the Daqing Pass......"

The worst is that you can also divide the land as the king and divide a Songjiang!

As long as the Omani kingdom in the south does not get rid of the foreign troubles, it will be difficult for the empire to have a way to help the Taiping army, unless the Taiping army itself makes some mistake and loses Daqing Pass. But looking at the unbelievable methods used by this bandit army when it started, there is no sign of this at all.

"Let me think again......"

In the end, the Yuyang city guard did not express his position on the spot, and fled from the city in a distracted manner.

He did not order anyone to take down Hong Fei, the general of the city defense battalion who had already become rebellious, which was undoubtedly an obvious signal.

Of course, in addition to this reason, he did not dare!

In case Hong Fei was forced to be anxious, a rebellion came on the spot, and he was held hostage to open the city, maybe the two credits would have to fall on Hong Fei alone.

Just when the civil and military officials in Yuyang City had already had other thoughts, the Taiping army outside finally calmed down from the euphoria after the victory. As the eastern half of the camp was razed to the ground in the sea of fire, the fire gradually extinguished, and the Taiping army began to collect prisoners, clean the battlefield, and treat the wounded, while at the same time began to put out the fire and repair the fence.

Although it was impossible for the situation to repeat, Chen Wu still made a cautious enough decision to prevent Ling Jie from making a desperate gamble and attacking the camp at night with the only remaining three hundred cavalry.

Further casualty statistics were quickly counted.

Due to the protection of the van formation, the infantry was protected from direct cavalry charges, and casualties were greatly reduced. Of the more than 200 foot soldiers who died in battle, the vast majority died from arrows. More than half of the more than 300 people were wounded by arrows. Taking advantage of layers of restrictions and various terrain advantages, the Taiping army finally played an amazing exchange ratio in the frontal battle between the infantry and the cavalry!

Even if they had been mentally prepared for a long time, after the specific figures came out, they still surprised many middle and high-ranking officers of the Taiping Army.

What they didn't know was that Chen Wu was not only not surprised, but was dissatisfied with this number!

After all, the Taiping Army's advantage in this battle was too great. Not to mention forcing the officers and cavalry to charge the formation from a specific direction, they were able to make full preparations a few days in advance. In this case, there were also 300 casualties, which is related to the fact that there are many archers in the cavalry of the official army, but it is also related to the fact that the Taiping army is not familiar with the box car formation and its own strength is not enough. If it were replaced by the elite division of the Tiannan Legion, this number of casualties would be reduced by at least half!

As for the lack of a horse team, not to mention, such a big advantage, and let go of at least three hundred horses!

When you capture Yuyang Mansion, you have to practice hard!

Of course, although the losses were not small, the gains of the Taiping army were even more amazing: a total of nearly two hundred cavalry prisoners; large quantities of captured horses, weapons and armor; More importantly, it inflicted heavy losses on the cavalry of Songjiang County.

Without this vital mobile force, even though Songjiang County still had many troops, it would be difficult to pose a decisive threat to the Taiping army.

After resting for a day, the army without worries launched a fierce attack on Yuyang Mansion again!

This time, the resistance of Yuyang Mansion was even more unbearable.

Yesterday's battle outside the city, the earth-shattering shouts of killing, and the sky-high black smoke that could be seen by half of Yuyang Mansion were enough to let all the defenders know the fact that their reinforcements were defeated, and Yuyang Mansion City had become a lonely city. Until now, no one thinks that they can still hold on, and naturally no one is willing to die in vain.

Just a tentative charge by a brigade of Taiping battalions unexpectedly captured a twenty-meter-long section of the city wall!

If it weren't for the hundreds of officers and soldiers of the city defense battalion in Yuyang City, plus the patchwork of officials and the guards of the nobles, desperately retaking the city wall, maybe Chen Wu would have been able to sit in the city guard mansion of Yuyang at noon.

Rao was so, and this battle also greatly encouraged the Taiping army.

At the same time, it also completely dispelled the mind of the Yuyang City Guard.

While Yuyang Mansion can barely block it now, there is still a little capital to surrender. If you wait for the bandit army to feel that it is easy to capture Yuyang, and then you want to surrender, I am afraid that people may not be able to look at it.

Taking advantage of the Taiping army's attack at noon, the Yuyang City Guard sent his henchman, Wu Juncai, the director of the Yuyang Internal Affairs Bureau, to sit in a rope basket and put it down from the city with a white flag. However, the face and character of the Yuyang City Guard still have to be talked about. Wu Juncai did not walk on the southern city wall of the battle, but came down from the east, so that not many people noticed.

Although the Taiping army mainly attacked the southern city, the other three city walls were of course also equipped with outposts. Especially after there was no threat from the Songjiang cavalry, the scout cavalry was released openly. Seeing Wu Juncai waving a conspicuous white flag, a team of horses soon rushed over, and after asking the reason, he took him back to the Taiping military camp suspiciously.

Passing by near the eastern half of the camp, which had been burned to white ash, Wu Juncai could still smell the rich smell of burnt paste.

Occasionally, the wind blew, blowing up the white ash on the ground, and I vaguely saw the bones of people and horses that had not yet had time to be processed.

Wu Juncai is just a civil official, he has seen this scene, and he couldn't help but close his eyes and turn his head.

This gang of thieves is terrible!

Walking through this road in fear, Wu Juncai was strictly searched and put into a large military camp. Several layers of guards passed all the way, and they were finally brought into Chen Wu's Chinese military tent.

Due to the news that Yuyang Mansion had sent people over in advance, several Taiping army generals had already arrived, and the upcoming offensive outside had also been suspended. Now that the Taiping army has occupied the absolute initiative, they are not afraid that the Yuyang City Guards in the city will delay time in the name of surrender, or have other tricks such as deception and surrender.

"Wu Juncai, director of the Internal Affairs Department of Yuyang Prefecture, was ordered by Lord An Yi, the city guard, to greet General Tiangong."

When Wu Juncai was on the road, he repeatedly considered what attitude he should use to meet Chen Wu. After entering the Chinese military tent, he hesitated and finally used an equal courtesy and greeting.

"Oh?"

Chen Wu looked at the man who was barely holding up the shelf with some amusement.

Before the crossing, Chen Wu had heard of this person, but he had not dealt with him much, and it was difficult to make any judgments based on this. But judging from the current situation, this person obviously still hasn't seen the shape clearly. Or, even if you see it clearly, you still care about your face and can't pull off that face!

deliberately left him dry for a while, until Wu Juncai was a little restless and sweaty, then he greeted him and asked: "The general is leading the army to attack Yuyang, and the city guard of Yuyang doesn't want to lead troops to defend the city, so why did he send you over?" ”

His knowingly asked, as well as the playful glances of several Taiping Army generals next to him, made Wu Juncai's face a little hot, and he bowed his head and said: "General Tiangong is mighty, Yuyang Mansion does not want to be an enemy of the general, please surrender!" ”
