Xiang Rong heard that Gilhang'a was besieged, and urgently ordered Zhang Guoliang, the chief soldier of Zhangzhou Town, Fujian, to rush to the rescue, and on October 25, the Taiping army fought at Dingmao Bridge and won it; It is better than the mouth of the Five Winds Peak, but it is too late to save Gilhanga from death. Pen? Interesting?

The Taiping army occupied Yangzhou, immediately collected grain, transferred Zhenjiang, and took advantage of the victory to capture Yizheng, Pukou, Jiangpu and other cities, preparing to return to Jiangnan from Pukou. Ran Xiangrong successively sent Admiral Deng Shaoliang and General Zhang Guoliang from Jiangnan to cross the river to the north to help, and recovered Pukou and Jiangpu, blocking the Taiping Army's road from Pukou to the south. Qin Rigang and others then led the main force of the Taiping Army to return to Guazhou, and after a short rest, they crossed the Zhenjiang River in the south.

Just as Xiang Rong sent troops to support Jiangbei, Yiwang Shi Dakai led a large army from Jiangxi to help, starting from Taiping, and marched to the periphery of Tianjing by separate routes, advancing by land and water, claiming to go straight to the camp in the south of the Yangtze River. When Xiang Rong heard the news, he hurriedly transferred Zhang Guoliang from Jiangbei to Lishui to block Shi Da's army. At this time, Xiang Rong was facing enemies on all sides, taking care of one thing and losing the other, and he was overwhelmed, and his situation was unprecedentedly difficult. On November 20, Qin Rigang and others led the Taiping army to withdraw from the periphery of Zhenjiang to Jinling, stationed in the area of Guanyinmen and Yanziji, Zhang Guoliang also led the team to follow, rushed back to the camp, on the 25th, Xiang Rongwen Lishui was lost, and sent Zhang Guoliang to lead the team to rush to the rescue, in order to block the Taiping army east into the Soviet Union, Chang Road. Just when the Jiangnan camp was blocked in the east and the west was in ruins, the main forces of the Taiping army had gathered in the northeastern suburbs of Jinling, and Yang Xiuqing seized the favorable opportunity and decided to completely destroy the Jiangnan camp. In the face of the powerful offensive of the Taiping army, Xiang Rong was at a loss, so he had to shrink his forces from the outlying strongholds and increase the defense of the battalion.

The people in the Jiangnan camp were panicked, the morale of the army was fluctuating, and Zhang Guoliang repeatedly pressed it, so he barely managed to maintain order. Hearing Xiang Rong's call, he hurriedly rushed to Xiang Rong's handsome tent, and saw Xiang Rong carrying himself on his back, looking at the waist knife that had been with him for more than 30 years. The eyes were so gentle and delicate.

The dark clouds overwhelmed the city and wanted to destroy it, and Zhang Guoliang, who was coarse and ink, sounded this poem inexplicably, and Xiang Rong wiped his waist knife, put it on the case, and turned around. Seeing Zhang Guoliang coming, he nodded, "The palace minister is here, sit down, how is it in the army?" ”

"The military spirit is a little unstable, but the mark has been suppressed, and now it is fine." Zhang Guoliang sat down and replied.

"Is there enough supplies in the army?"

"Except for grain and grass, there is abundance of others."

Xiang Rong nodded, "In the rich land of Jiangnan, it doesn't hurt to supply grain and grass. Wherever you want to transfer it, don't mention these for the time being, your courtier, you have followed the old man since the first year of Xianfeng in Guangxi, how does the old man treat you? ”

Zhang Guoliang stood up and hurriedly replied: "The handsome is as kind as a mountain!" ”

"In that case, the old man has a military order for you to do!"

"Please give the order!" Zhang Guoliang half-knelt to obey orders.

"I want you to wait until the rebel army is coming, and retreat Jurong with your brothers in the army! The old man will give you a broken queen! ”

Zhang Guoliang raised his head with a shocked expression. "Dashuai!"

"Why, you dare to disobey the military order?" Xiang Rong was less fierce and rude than before, and just said with a faint smile.

Da Shuai is holding the heart of death, Zhang Guoliang kneeled forward. "The cavalry under the mark is still worthy of a battle, please let the commander let the mark be broken!" 、

"After what can you break, the bridge that Lao Tzu has walked is longer than the road you have walked! Your days are still ahead, since the Jiangbei camp was lost, Lao Tzu knew that the situation was not good, and he rebelled against these turtle sons who were determined to completely destroy us. Lao Tzu has always refused to admit defeat, but I have to admit that at the moment, we can't compare to these turtle sons! Xiang Rong scolded in his Sichuan voice, "But even if the camp is broken, it can be rebuilt, this is the case in Jiangbei, our Jiangnan camp, there can be no less people, if the people are scattered, how many big camps are useless for his turtle son!" The children brought out by Guangxi, you can take good care of Lao Tzu, "This faintly has the meaning of supporting orphans."

Zhang Guoliang didn't say a word, only stared at his boss, the yellow coat given by Xiang Rong was extremely dazzling at this time, Zhang Guoliang blinked vigorously, quickly lowered his head, supported the ground with both hands, and promised loudly, "Yes!" My lord! ”

"You go, when the time comes, everything will be moved, and what can't be moved will be put together with gunpowder, as well as grain and grass, and then the smoke and fire burned by those turtle sons will be finished!" Xiang Rong straightened his clothes, looking at the decree on the case that he was the minister of the Qin Mission and specialized in military affairs, Xiang Rong smiled, laughing very happily, but a little bitter.

"Lu Jianying, the son of the turtle, will not retreat from the fight, but will bring Lao Tzu to the ditch." Xiang Rong's faint voice sounded in the tent, inaudible.

On November 28, the Taiping army began to attack, and by the 29th, the Qing army's Xianhemen camp was occupied and retreated to the Qingma group. On the first day of December, the Taiping army launched a general attack, the main force attacked the Qingma group, one went out of the Taiping Gate to the west wing of the camp in the south of the Yangtze River, and the other crossed the back of the camp in Zhongshan.

Lai Hanying's department took the lead and attacked Xiang Rong's camp, only to see arrows on both sides like rain, but after a while, they stopped, Lai Hanying laughed, "The Qing demon has been in chaos, all the brothers will enter the account together, divide the gold and silver!" ”

"Divide the gold and take the silver? It's light to think! Pass your Lao Tzu Xiangrong first! The gate of the Jiangnan camp was wide open, and the white-haired Xiang Rong rode a five-flowered horse, his whole body was draped, he was old and strong, and he stood in front of the gate with a fierce expression and despised the heroes, "Lai Hanying, you are a waste snack who can only become a prime minister by relying on your trouser belt, do you dare to fight with your grandfather and me for three hundred rounds!" If grandpa loses your move, grandpa will have your surname, and his surname will be scoundrel Lai! Hahahaha! Xiang Rong laughed, jumped up on his horse, and the snow-white waist knife slashed at Lai Hanying's neck like lightning!

On the first day of December, the Taiping army encircled and annihilated the Jiangnan camp of the Qing army located in Xiaolingwei, and the minister Xiang Rong and a cadre of old and weak remnants personally broke off, shouted loudly, fought without retreating, and the winter official and deputy prime minister Lai Hanying did not know whether he was alive or dead, and set fire to the camp to block the offensive of the Taiping army, and finally died of more than 30 arrows, and he still did not close his eyes when he died. Zhang Guoliang, the commander-in-chief of Zhangzhou, led the remnants to retreat to Jurong, and then retreated to Jintan to defend it. (To be continued.) )
