The Qing army came to the door, Hong Xiuquan was fearless, and ordered Hu Yihuang to open up a way out, Hu Yihuang led the crowd to attack thirteen times, killing and wounding 100 people, and did not advance a single bit.

The people in Shanren Village were in a panic, and the fearful had already burst out. Hong Xiuquan drew his sword and shouted angrily: "The king of heaven is here, fight to the death, and wait for me to kill all the demons." “

Hong Xiuquan said nothing, swung his sword forward, Feng Yunshan and Hu Yihuang hurriedly protected the two wings and joined the battle group. In less than half an hour, more than 50 people were slashed and killed.

Li Dianyuan saw that Hong and the others were full of energy, and retreated slightly, but still firmly blocked the exit.

Hong Xiuquan said: "The Qing demon is not Erer, within five days, I will borrow heavenly soldiers to destroy this demon." replied to Hu Yihuang: Jintian moved troops and urgently looked for Xiuqing; The inside should be combined with the outside, so as to survive this catastrophe. “

Hu Yihuang did not dare to slack off, so he sent capable people to Jintian.

Yang Xiuqing got the reward, and suddenly her ears and eyes were clear.

Yang Fu cleared his mind.

Yang Xiuqing said: "Life and death are at stake, between the coming and going of this disease; It is a big matter to welcome the main person, and I dare not delay. Hurry up and tell you, Heavenly Father is coming, Xiao and Wei Ke? “

Yang Xiuqing's heavenly father arrived, and everyone knelt down to greet him.

Yang Xiuqing's voiced voice was high-pitched: "The boys listened to the order, the leader of the sect Huazhou was in trouble, and Mengdeen raised 600 troops, and quickly went to the rescue; Seize Siwang, the first achievement. The bird has no head and does not fly, and all the boys must show the head of the whole horse with the leader of the sect, supervise the people and horses of the headquarters, and wait for the dispatch. I'm going! “

Meng Deen was originally a native of Huazhou, the door was clear, the road was clear, the attack was killed, the road was galloping, and he arrived within a few days; The people and horses did not stop, and besieged Siwangwei overnight in three ways, killing Zhang Yong, Gongsheng and Wu Shangxian. Xiuquan heard that reinforcements had arrived, and led the crowd to kill. Li Dianyuan faced the enemy on both sides, did not dare to fight, and led his troops to flee.

Hong Xiuquan and Meng Deen joined forces and rushed to Jintian. Yang Xiuqing waited out of the village to greet him.

Hong Xiuquan was busy holding Yang Xiuqing, and a thousand words turned into tears.

Li Dianyuan was defeated, and Lao Chongguang angrily reprimanded Zhou Fengqi, the chief soldier of Anyi Town, Guizhou: Arrive at Guiyueyu, no fight or help.

Zhou Fengqi gave in and had to march slowly.

Adjutant General Iktan preached: "What can you do to me? Gui Bing Li Dianyuan, a group of bear bags. I have prepared two hundred loads of ropes, and within three days I will let the adults see a good show. “

Zhou Fengqi said: "The loss of half a thousand men and horses in the first battle is definitely not a mountain and grass coward, and we must be careful." “

As soon as the Gui army left, the Qian army arrived again, and Hong Xiuquan had mixed tastes.

Yang Xiuqing said: "The Qing demon is raging, the deputy general of the Qingjiang Association, Iktambu, the general of the Danjiang battalion, Peng Changchun, and the alternate prefect Liu Jizu, are outflanked from the south to the north, left, center and right. “

Hong Xiuquan said: "What do you mean by the brothers? “

Xiao Chaogui said: "Fight with the Qing Demon!" “

Yang Xiuqing asked Brother Yunshan if there was a good plan?

Feng Yunshan was meditating.

Yang Xiuqing said: "Sect Master, time is running out, and I can't afford to fight." Left and right, the ruffians practice bravery, and there is no need to worry; I also pretend to be it, and dissolve it. Iktambu, a famous general of the Guizhou army, has a good way of leading troops and should not be underestimated. Ten miles in the southeast there is a village called the chicken mother pond, three miles south of the chicken mother pond is Wangao Ridge, the surrounding forest is dense and the grass grows, set up a good ambush. I took all the way to the west, and Chaogui led all the way to the east, and the sect leader and Brother Yunshan refused head-on. When the Qianjun army crossed the Caicun Bridge halfway, it could be annihilated. “

On January 1, 1851, Iktambu led more than 1,000 Guizhou soldiers to march bravely and bravely into Wangao Ridge.

The enemy had entered the urn, and Yang Xiuqing immediately ordered the ambush to attack. In an instant, the drums were beating loudly, and the sound of killing was everywhere. Cha Shi Dakai led 4,000 sect members to arrive, and immediately entered the battle group.

The soldiers of Guizhou had never fought like this before, and they rushed to flee for their lives. Unable to stop it, Iktambu crashed into the water and was hacked to death by the rebels. Zhou Fengqi desperately came to help, gathered the rout, deployed the south bank of the Xunjiang River, and never fought again.

On January 3, Li Xingyuan, the minister of the Qin Mission, and Zhou Tianjue, the governor of Guangxi, arrived in Gui, and when they heard that Li Dianyuan was defeated and Iketambu died, they knew that the worship of God was the leader of the Gui bandits, and urgently ordered Xiang Rong, the governor of Guangxi, and Li Nengchen, the chief soldier of the Yunnan army, to slow down the Tiandihui and quickly go to Jintian to encircle and suppress.

Two battles and two wins, Hong Xiuquan was overjoyed, killed chickens and pigs, and rewarded them greatly. Yunshan frowned, and Xiuquan asked why.

Feng Yunshan said: "The reward is for a moment, and it only lasts for a while; After that, it is advisable to plan as early as possible; Two victories against Lai Yang, brave for Xiao, Wei, Shiren, etc., all rely on; Only by giving enough name can we work together. There are more than 10,000 congregants, and there are many people with mixed hearts; There must be a clause to discourage people. The two armies are facing each other, life and death are impermanent, and the division is famous, so as not to be a bandit. Jintian is backed by the Bauhinia Mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the land is barren and poor, and the gyration is very small; Chu demon Xiang Rong and Dian demon Li Nengchen have arrived, and they must quickly determine their whereabouts. ”

Xiao Chaogui ate meat and drank wine, dripping with joy, with bones and teeth, and drank bitterly: "Brother Hong Xiuquan, do you recognize me?" ”

The crowd knelt on their knees.

Hong Xiuquan said: "Little brother recognizes." At present, the great enemy dares to ask Brother Tian, who is my mainstay? ”

Xiao Chaogui said: "Feng Yunshan, Yang Xiuqing, and Xiao Chaogui are all there. Hong Xiuquan's younger brother, the sun is Er, and the moon is Er's wife. Feng Yunshan was born in three stars, Yang Xiuqing also has three stars, and Xiao Chaogui is also two stars. Yang and Xiao are also two phoenixes! Xiuquan's younger brother, Yunshan is a seven-point helper, Xiuqing and Chaogui are really very helpers, and Yunshan is a learned and refined; Xiuqing and Chaogui are naturally generated. ”

Hong Xiuquan was annoyed and asked Yunshan privately: "What do you mean by this?" Children also know; There is no need to ask for it, I will reward it. ”

Feng Yunshan said: "The previous two battles were all thanks to Yang and Xiao slashing demons and subduing demons. I take a step back, the sea and the sky. ”

On January 11, 1853, all the believers of God gathered at Rhino Ridge in Jintian to celebrate Xiuquan's 38th birthday.

Xiuquan ascended to the heights and shouted: "The world is in chaos, the demons and beasts, the Tartar jackals are wantonly killing my God's people, I am ordered by the Heavenly Father and Emperor God to build the kingdom of heaven, kill demons and demons, sweep away the dust, and save all brothers and sisters from fire and water." It is hereby proclaimed that the Emperor of Heaven decrees that the regimental and battalion congregations shall be set up in the front, rear, left, right, and center armies; Yang Xiuqing, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, Xiao Chaogui, the commander-in-chief of the former army, Feng Yunshan, the commander-in-chief of the rear army, Wei Changhui, the commander-in-chief of the right army, and Shi Dakai, the commander-in-chief of the left army. All officers and soldiers of all armies must be divided between men and women, abide by the order, do not commit any offense in autumn, and work together to eliminate the demons. The gold field is small, it is difficult to tolerate the heroes and heroes, go out of the big Huangkou in the east, quickly occupy the Jiangkou Wei, raise money and pay grain, and go south to Xunzhou Mansion. ”

Xiao Chaogui called Yang Xiuqing and said: "How? ”

Yang Xiuqing said: "Jiangkou Wei, with a population of more than 10,000, the people are rich in things, and the east can go down the river to Guangdong, and the south enters Xunzhou to peep into Nanning, the best choice." ”

Hong Xiuquan camped in Jiangkouwei, and the leaders of the Heaven and Earth Society, Luo Outline and Su Sanniang, led the crowd to vote.

Yang Xiuqing said: "The bandits Zhang Zhao and Zhang Guoliang of the Heaven and Earth Society have descended to the demons, and according to the river, I am blocked from advancing eastward. Luo and Su have been watching for three years, but they have not yet entered my worship of God, and their hearts are waiting to be investigated. ”

Hong Xiuquan said: "Luo Outline is not a whim, first there is a meeting with Brother Huang, and then he is persuaded by Brother Yunshan to love my teachings and military discipline." At the time of this employment, there are 2,000 sailors, and I am safe. ”

Yang Xiuqing said: "At very moments, be cautious; Divide and dissolve, observe words and deeds. ”

Luo Xuan left as soon as he heard it, and Hong Xiuquan chased after him and persuaded him: "The Qing demon is approaching, and everything is complicated; I also wonder about the split, and I am cold in my brother's heart; Brother has a broad heart, don't care, brother leads an army by himself, and in time, he will be rewarded. ”

Feng Yunshan and Hu Yihuang both said: "Brother Wanwangluo, look at the past situation, stay and conspire, and plan for big things." ”

Luo outlined: "There is no doubt in employing people, and it is not taboo to know people." The Qing court is attacking with heavy troops, and the sect leader must plan as soon as possible, and I am willing to take the lead, kill the enemy at the forefront, and do not hesitate. ”

In early February 1853, Xiang Rongdu, the governor of Guangxi, led 10,000 troops and arrived at Jiangkouwei.

Li Xingyuan, the minister of the Qin Mission, consulted Xiang Rong: 20,000 long-haired regiments gathered at the foot of the stone in the Jiangkou Wei, can there be a good way to control the enemy at the military gate?

Xiang Rong said: Just a thief, don't worry, sit firmly in Guilin. The thieves are claimed to be 20,000, and the old, weak, sick, disabled, women, and children account for six, and there are few capable fighters. The Great Yellow River to the west of the stone foot and the Steak Ridge to the east are all guarded by long-haired heavy soldiers. The thief wins twice, the momentum is upright, and he cannot be attacked. I concentrated my forces and annihilated the enemy on the Great Yellow River first.

Xiang Rongyu resigned, that is, he ordered Zhang Guoliang, the general commander of Qian, to lead the troops to attack the Great Yellow River, feigned defeat and retreated, Zhou Fengqi, the general soldier of Anyi Town, Guizhou, and Li Nengchen, the chief soldier of Linyuan Town, Yunnan, ambushed both sides of the army, surrounded and annihilated.

Zhang Guoliang called for war, and Luo Xuan took the lead and shouted: "You rebelled, why?" Six products and thousands of total skins? ”

Zhang Guoliang said: "Before, it was wrong to rob people and steal goods. There are many good families, and few evil people. It's not too late to rein in the precipice. ”

Luo Xuan didn't bother anymore, picked up his gun and jumped on the horse, and stabbed straight through; Guoliang raised the knife to block and dismantle, coming and going, more than a dozen rounds. Guoliang looked at the vacancy, returned to the horse and left. I don't know what the outline is, and I am eager to make meritorious contributions, and I lead my troops to chase after him.

The enemy retreated without defeat, Hong Xiuquan knew the plan, and urgently ordered Xiao Chaogui to respond, but it was too late, the Luo army lost its troops and returned home.

The first victory in the three battles, Emperor Xianfeng heard the music and said: "Xiang Rong, it is really my Huoqin Baturu." ”

Li Xingyuan loved Xiang Rong's talent and asked him to command the whole army.

Zhou Tianjue, the governor of Guangxi, said: "No! In this battle, long hair only hurts the fur; Xiang Rong is good and rejoicing, greedy and less, small merit is huge, and it will be a failure. ”

Li Xingyuan said: "Go into battle to kill the enemy, Xiang Junmen is good at it; You and I only need to strategize. Besides, Lord Zhou is nearly eighty years old, and you and I are quite old. ”

Zhou Tianjue thought that he only brought more than 100 personal soldiers, and he was no longer noncommittal.

Li Xingyuan said: "Xiang Rongyi, attack the east and west, and the west will assist the owner, and encircle and annihilate Changmao in one fell swoop." ”

Zhou Tianjue sighed: "If it's so easy, why do you and I need to come here!" ”

In the battle of the Great Yellow River, the number of people was very huge, Hong Xiuquan was sentimental, and he reported to Xiang Rong again, and he was even more frightened, and he was busy recruiting Yang Xiuqing to discuss the matter.

Hong Xiuquan said: "The demon is attacking from both sides, and I am attacked by many enemies, can there be a solution to the dilemma?" ”

Yang Xiuqing said: "I have found out that the demon master is attacking the southeast Niupak Ridge, and only the soldiers of Xunzhou Mansion are brave and fearless in the west. I led the Luo Outline Naval Army, Mengdeen a one, near Fuqu Jiazhou, waiting for the enemy to cross and attack it. The East Sect Master personally leads •••••"

Before the words fell, Hong Xuanjiao begged for battle.

Yang Xiuqing was rarely happy, and said: "Xuanjiao's sister can take female soldiers to feign guarding Steak Ridge, and the enemy will retreat if they advance." Xiao Chaogui, Wei Changhui, Qin Rigang, Lin Fengxiang, and Li Kaifang led their troops to hide in the bamboo forests on both sides of Niupak Ridge, only waiting for the enemy to advance, let the Xuanjiao female soldiers, and then besiege and kill. When the enemy retreats, he must pass through Panshi Village east of Steak Ridge, Brother Yunshan and Brother Dakai quickly went to set up an ambush. ”

As Yang Xiuqing said, when the Qing soldiers saw the female soldiers, they all smiled happily and rushed forward, lest they fall behind. Suddenly, a cannon rang out, and thousands of people and horses poured into the bamboo forest.

Xiang Rong knew the plan, ordered a retreat, retreated to Panshi Village in embarrassment, and listened to the noise of the cannons. After a war into two sets, Xiang Rong hated himself and never had it in his life. is angry and never gives up. Order the soldiers, stabilize the formation, and set up artillery to bombard. When Yunshan and Dakai saw this, they didn't dare to force it. Xiang Rongde has slowly retreated.

At the same time, Liu Jizu, the prefect of Xunzhou, who attacked Qujiazhou, was also surrounded, and hundreds of soldiers were killed and wounded; Deng Shaoliang, the commander of the bidding department, led 500 elite horsemen to cross the river, went on a rampage, and rescued Liu Bu.

More than 1,000 soldiers were lost in the first battle, and 12 officials including Wang Chongshan of the garrison were killed. Xiang Rong didn't dare to fight again. Only 10,000 soldiers surrounded Jiangkou Wei, intending to make long-term plans.
