Chang Dachun had only one companion left by his side, accompanying the governor of Hubei, who had been transferred to the governor of Gansu but was detained here by the Taiping army to continue to stay, and sat for a day, without half a grain of rice, but Chang Dachun did not have the slightest hunger. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Accompanied by the rumbling sound of cannons and the coffin behind him, Chang Dachun closed his eyes and slowly spoke.

"Lao Li, you have followed me for more than ten years, right?"

"Yes, master, since you came out of your hometown in Hunan, the little one has followed you."

"It's been more than ten years, alas, the emperor has made such a good plan, I just obeyed the order, but it's a pity, I'll take a look at it these days, the green camp in Hubei is really not angry, it's rotten to the end, this Wuchang City, it is estimated that it won't be able to hold it for a few days, Lao Li, you wait for me to die, take my clothes back to Hunan, and let the wife and children at home miss it a little."

"Sir!" Lao Li couldn't cry, "Master follow the little one." ”

"As the governor of Hubei, I have the responsibility to defend the land, the emperor has given me permission, promised to abandon the two cities of Hankou and Hanyang and not to hold the old man responsible, if I lose Wuchang City again, even if the emperor does not blame, I have no face to see Jiangdong's father, you don't want to be that woman crying, after going home, tell me that unfilial son, now the thief is very powerful, tell him to study at home with peace of mind, especially to read military books, and when he has a brain, a strategy, and then come out to avenge his father!" Lao Li responded with tears, wiped the tears on his face with the sleeves of the coarse cloth, and stood behind Chang Dachun and continued to be silent without speaking.

The sound of the cannon outside the city suddenly became loud, boom~~ sound, Chang Dachun standing on the city gate tower felt that the bricks and stones under his feet trembled, Chang Dachun looked at the watchtower in the west, only to see a fire burning near the watchtower, and the Taiping army outside the city began to cheer.

A relative stumbled up the city tower, covered in blood, and his face looked particularly pale under the moonlight, "Lord Futai, in the west of the city, a corner was blown down by the rebels with artillery, and the rebels, the rebels are about to attack the city!" ”

"What about the two admirals!"

"The two admirals are entangled in the east of the city and at the city gate, and there are no extra soldiers to support!"

The cries of the Taiping army outside the city became louder and louder, and Chang Dachun could even hear their cheers for the victory at his fingertips: "Enter Wuchang City and capture Chang Dachun alive!" ”

That's it, Chang Dachun sighed, shook off the horse's hoof sleeves, bowed a few times to the north, stood up straight, pulled out the warm sword in his hand, and the old servant on the side shouted with tears: "Master," he didn't dare to step forward to dissuade him, so he could only kneel down silently and send Chang Dachun on his last journey.

Stab, a few loud bangs rang out again, and the cries outside the city became more and more high-pitched, Chang Dachun couldn't bear to see the bloody scene of the soldiers and civilians being killed in the city, closed his eyes, picked up the sword and went to his neck.

Wang Jinxiu stood at the bow of the first ship, more than 20 clippers in the night were smooth and windy, thousands of miles in an instant, Wang Jinxiu saw that he was about to reach the exit of Hanshui, turned around and ordered the soldiers behind him: "Order all boats, unload the flag, quickly approach the thief pontoon, if there is a scout who wants to ask, directly say that the reinforcements of the king of the west come to support the attack on Wuchang!" If the scout is chirping crookedly, kill it immediately, wait for the boat to approach the pontoon, immediately ignite the explosives and oil and rush up, the three big ships prepared before, waiting in the distance, waiting to see the fire of the pontoon, beating gongs and drums, shouting loudly, Gan Shaanxi Tie has ridden to the east, the king of the east has been killed and other chaotic thieves' words, when they see the chaos on the pontoon, they rush to the pontoon bridge again, and kill him without leaving a piece of armor! ”

"Wow!"

Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, looked at the fire at the head of Wuchang City outside the tent and laughed, "Chang Lao thief, Chang Lao thief, I didn't expect that your strong wall is clear, and the plan of sticking to the high wall is completely useless?" It's only been three or four days, and this Wuchang City is about to be broken immediately? Hahahaha, it's really a carving insect skill! ”

"The Eastern King's military division is wise and martial, such a clown who jumps off the beam, of course, His Highness will use a little trick, and he will easily let go of it!" The signal soldiers who came to report the news were all flattering.

"Haha said well, pass on my edict, break Wuchang City, the whole city will leave no living demons, and the wives, daughters, and property of the Qing demons are all with our heavenly soldiers!"

"Yes!"

Before the signal corps' voice fell, a huge spark exploded on the pontoon bridge, and the deafening sound brought the signal corps' roaring promise into the surging river.

Yang Xiuqing looked to the right, and faintly saw the rising flames in his eyes.

Is that!

A few boats without lights quietly approached the iron cable boat called the "Tongtian Pontoon" by Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, in the sound of the river waves.

"We are reinforcements sent by the King of the West, and we have been ordered to reinforce us!"

The scout faintly felt that it was inappropriate, the king of the west was answering on the pontoon, but there was no order to go out to ask for reinforcements today, could it be a few days ago?

Before they could be questioned again, the boats spun their sails and sped up towards the pontoon, igniting a few strange sparks!

"Enemy-" Before the scout could shout a warning, he was pierced in the throat by an arrow and fell into the Yangtze River, unable to speak again.

The soldiers of the Green Battalion of the Hubei Navy Division lit up several boats full of fire oil and tarpaulin, and the boats roared up and crashed into the pontoon, and more than 20 boats looked from afar, like more than 20 burning fireballs, clinging to the pontoon, like a string of bright ruby necklaces across the hazy river.

There was a panic on the pontoon, but under the command of the superior in charge, the commotion was quelled, and they began to try to dismantle the fireboat that had been tightly attached to the pontoon. A rough veteran came over and pushed a few rookies away, scolding in his mouth: "The little rabbit cub is useless!" He straightened the iron rod in his hand, divided it by two with three strokes, and smashed the head of the bed, seeing that the fire boat was about to break away from the pontoon bridge, the faces of several Taiping soldiers were happy.

The veteran turned his head and was about to continue to teach a few rookies who couldn't withstand the wind and waves, when he suddenly heard the sizzling sound of the fireboat again, and remembered one after another that the veteran who had worked in the artillery before shook his ears, and looked at the fireship with burning red flames with wide eyes in disbelief, it couldn't be the sound of gunpowder, right?

The sound of breaking the air like a muffled thunder exploded violently in the air, and the explosives on the fireship were buried in the cabin and slowly detonated! The veteran and a few recruits were all blown into pieces of flesh and drowned in the raging fire, and the explosions rang out one after another, and they slammed into the pontoon one after another, and the pontoon shook violently, but because the iron lock and coarse cloth were very firmly connected, the pontoon bridge was not in serious trouble.

Yang Xiuqing's eyes were printed with those shining huge sparks one after another, his expression changed greatly, and he shouted left and right: "Hurry up and see what's going on!" It was that idiot who accidentally ignited the fire! This king wants to kill his whole family! ”

"Yes!"

Yang Xiuqing's eyes were fixed on the fire that began to spread on the pontoon, and cold sweat was dripping on his forehead.

God forbid, it must not be a trick of the demons!
