28. The fierce battle in Jiangxi (10)
Lai Hanying desperately waved the horsewhip and whipped the horse under his crotch, and ran to the left of Jishui County, only to see the official road three or four miles away from the south gate of Jishui County, the official road was a mess, the ground was scattered with the banner of the Taiping Army, and some demons, as well as the corpses of his own troops, Lai Hanying chuckled in his heart, and knew that the situation was not good, a few shouts on both sides of the official road, the arrow rain poured down, and in a moment there were dozens of Taiping troops who could not dodge, fell down the horses, and a few arrow clusters hit the war horses, the war horses were in pain, and the front hooves jumped high, A few unsuspecting Taiping soldiers were thrown to the ground, and the Qing soldiers came out densely like ants, and a dark green banner was erected on the hill, with a big black character written on it, and the Qing soldiers shouted in unison, and the cavalry stepped forward, waving knives and fighting with Lai Hanying's troops, and the infantry quickly closed the circle, set up antlers and iron thorns and other things, and waved the ash pole to stab the Taiping army on horseback.

The Qing army shouted loudly: "The Hunan army is here!" The traitor is not ready to surrender quickly! The momentum was mighty, the ground shook the mountains, and many Taiping soldiers in the earthquake looked panicked, their faces were like earth, their hands and feet were weak, but the weapons in their hands were still firmly held in their hands.
Lai Hanying gritted his teeth, pulled out the long knife in his hand, and loudly ordered his own soldiers who were becoming more and more powerless to resist: "If we don't strive to break through today, our heavenly soldiers and generals will all die here, think about the Qing demon I killed before!" Thinking of the Qing demon who was tortured to death by themselves, the Taiping army's expression became firm, knowing that the Qing army could not let themselves go, they set up a position and fought with the Qing cavalry who attacked, and the Qing cavalry's offensive was frustrated.
There was a scuffle in the field, Lai Hanying also stepped forward in person, and several Hunan cavalry fought together, Lai Hanying waved a knife to kill a caught off guard Qing army, the Taiping army watched their commander go into battle to kill the Qing army, the army's heart was greatly boosted, and they shouted again and again, and stepped forward bravely, and for a while, the cavalry of the Qing army was forced to retreat.
The infantry of the Qing army is clamoring to cheer, Lai Hanying laughed, many years have passed, the martial arts he practiced before have not been pulled down, and when he was about to wave his sword to command the Taiping army to break through, the Qing soldiers surrounding the official road in the south were restless, and in an instant they cheered loudly, Lai Hanying saw a Qing army general jumping into the encirclement, holding a bloody thing in his hand, the military general was in his thirties, his face was full of arrogance, and he threw the thing in his hand in front of Lai Hanying's horse, accompanied by the tide of excitement and cheers of the Qing army, shouted loudly: "Lin Qirong's head is here!" You won't be caught yet! ”
Lai Hanying looked at the blood and mud soaked on the ground, and was shocked to find that it was indeed Lin Qirong's head, and Lin Qirong's face was hideous, and he opened his mouth wide unwillingly, wanting to shout something. Lai Hanying's heart was cold, knowing that Lin Qirong had been completely annihilated, and Commander Bai and Shi Guozong's troops looked like they were also defeated and retreated, and they had been fighting in Tiannan for a long time, so would they die on the ground in Jiangxi today?
Lai Hanying bit out the blood from his tongue, and let his declining fighting spirit rise again, no longer glanced at Lin Qirong's head on the ground, raised his knife to the sky, and said loudly: "Brothers! Now, if you are loyal to the King of Heaven, if you die in battle, you can also go to Heaven and enjoy great wealth! After eighteen years, he will be reincarnated in the mortal world and destroy all the demons! ”
The Taiping army responded violently, and the Qing army was entangled again, that Zeng Guoquan scolded the sound of the mother, and immediately stepped forward, and slashed a few Taiping soldiers with a knife, and went up to Lai Hanying's front and Lai Hanying's personal soldiers fought, after the Qing army's Zeng Guoquan and Ronglu troops arrived, the Qing army's heart was greatly boosted, and they shouted loudly again and again, and after a while, the arrogance of the Taiping army was suppressed, and hundreds of people were surrounded in a small circle, Lai Hanying commanded and resisted again and again, and could only watch the brothers around him fall down one after another, A few days ago, the Taiping Army's Western Expeditionary Division, which was still invincible in Jiangxi, has now reached the point of exhaustion, and its destruction is only in an instant!
Zeng Guofan sat on the hill, smiling and watching the Qing army in the field about to achieve an overwhelming victory, it was not in vain that I lost Jishui County, and I lost so many belongings on the road, so I attracted the traitor! At present, this big victory will not be in vain Zuo Zongtang's grain and grass turnover fatigue, the help of Jiangxi localities, and the kindness of the concubine Niangniang! When Zeng Guofan was relieved, he suddenly heard the sound of the north side sounding again and again, and a scout hurriedly came to report: "Dashuai, the rebels who fled before have another horse team attacking, and the brothers on the periphery are afraid that they will not be able to resist it!" ”
Zeng Guofan's heart was shocked, and he quickly stood up, looking at the circle in the north scattered for a while, and was about to give an order to let the infantry soldiers stop him, but seeing that the rebel cavalry who came to charge had a certain heart of death, he rushed into the encirclement regardless of his own safety, and rushed to the field for a while. ”
Lai Hanying's heart was miserable, now this mortal situation can't be broken, he can only kill the enemy desperately, kill one by one, and when he was disheartened, he suddenly heard a few shouts from the north: "Prime Minister, my brother is here to save you!" Lai Hanying turned his head to look, it turned out that it was Guozong Shi Fengkui wielding a cooked copper double gong and struggling to lead his cavalry into the encirclement, everywhere he went, all the Qing troops retreated, Shi Fengkui struggled to kill in front of Lai Hanying's horse, and with a wave of his double gong, he resisted Zeng Guoquan's offensive, and he didn't have time to look at Lai Hanying, so he shouted again and again: "Prime Minister go away!" I'm here to resist! Lai Hanying's eyes were hot, and he said again and again: "Okay, you and my brother will die here together!" ”
"Let's kill it together!"
On September 16 of the third year of Xianfeng, Zeng Guofan led Xiang Yong to set up a plan to lure the enemy in Jishui County, discarded the property and wine on the official road, fled three times, arrogant and rebellious, beheaded Lin Qirong, the general of the rebel Tuguanzheng, and trapped Lai Hanying in the encirclement, and was later rescued by Shi Fengkui desperately, Lai Hanying and Shi Fengkui almost only retreated, Xiang Yong could not catch up, and could only wipe out all the rebel cavalry after the break, beheaded more than 2,000 people, captured 300 people, and the Taiping Army's westward expedition to Lai Hanying's department was stalemate in Jishui County and Qingjiang County, and became a confrontation. The situation in Jiangxi became more and more severe, and Emperor Xianfeng issued edicts one after another, asking the soldiers and civilians in Jiangxi to boost their morale and fight to the end. He also ordered Zhejiang, Fujian, Hunan, Hubei, and Guangdong to support Jiangxi in regimental training, and sent a stream of donations to fill the treasury as the cost of the army.
