On September 17, 1858, Chen Yucheng left Chuzhou, Li Xiucheng left Quanjiao, and the two armies gathered in Wuyi and Shuikou.

Yu Cheng said Xiu Cheng Dao: Kede Luzhou, and Li Zhaoshou found a demon document in the store.

Xiuchengdao: When attacking the fortifications, don't startle the snake, I ordered Li Zhaoshou to attack the city and seize the land, and watch his actions.

Yu Chengdao: Zhao Shou must be reversed, make plans early.

Li Zhaoshou probed the meaning of twenty percent, and urgently told the Qing general Qingrui: quickly win the handsome, Zhaoshou shaved his hair and offered the city. It is planned to camp thirty miles away from Chu, pretending to be attacked, but in fact waiting for the public ear.

When Shengbao heard it, the overseers arrived, and they gave up Chuzhou, Tianchang, and Lai'an.

Li Xiucheng consulted Li Zhaoshou: What you do, what you do, and leave a name in the world for future generations, don't hesitate! Live up to my colleagues' hearts and righteousness!

Chen Yucheng sighed: Brother won the people with benevolence, but still ended with benevolence and righteousness; It seems that both loyalty and righteousness are complete, but in fact they are empty. In today's world, soldiers speak, if you die, I live, how can I rely on a benevolent word!

On September 18, 1858, Chen and Li Qianfeng occupied Dongge and Xige, and went straight to Pukou.

Dexing Aling's deputy general Ju Dianhua faced the battle, and Ju Dianhua led more than 1,000 horses to conquer Dongge and attack Xige. Xuan was routed and besieged. Dexing Akai's deputy capital Tonghai rushed to the rescue, rescued the bow, and recovered Dongge.

On the 19th, Chen and Li Dajun arrived, and Sanke Dongge. Dexing'a led the counterattack and collected Dongge three times. Chen Yucheng had no intention of stalemate, so he ordered the army to cover up and kill from Xige, and all kinds of ambushes were killed one after another. Dexing Abuzhi. Returning to the small shop, he was frightened, and he was immediately miserable: Xige defeated the thief and had to add a lot of people, and pounced on my back. From Xige, Maotang Bridge, and Xiahe in the east, to Tangquan in the west, it is harmful everywhere, and the camp is about more than ten zhang. Maotang and Tangquan are only about three miles away from Xiaodian, and Xiahe is only ten miles away from Anding Bridge in the east of Xiaodian

In the rest of the mile, thieves came everywhere. Jiangpu Xishan area is also full of thieves, all kinds of thief flags, far and near, the mountains are deep and dense, and there are many thieves in particular, I don't know how many of them. The abdomen, back, elbows, and armpits are all dangerous, and there is no one better than today. Each battalion may garrison 2,000 soldiers, or 1,000, or hundreds, and thieves will be tens of thousands at every turn, and they will be in danger everywhere.

On September 23, Feng Zicai, the registered general of the Jiangnan battalion, and Ma Tengxiao, the general of the Jiangnan battalion, led 5,000 reinforcements to the small shop. The 2,000 defense troops of the stone moraine bridge also went to Jiangpu. Dexing A little comforted, and ordered all departments: sit at dawn and night, people do not abandon weapons, horses do not saddle, fire ropes with each other, contact sentinels, and the enemy will fight immediately.

On the 25th, Dexing A and Ju Dianhua led more than 10,000 troops to attack Wuyi, and the two armies fought. Dexinga retreated to Pukou and guarded the camp.

On the 26th, Chen Li attacked Xiaodian, Feng Zicai was defeated, 5,000 troops, and more than half of them were killed and wounded. Chen Li chased to Pukou by victory, before the Yucheng army attacked, Xiucheng's army copied in a roundabout way, and the soldiers of Jiuhuanzhou also crossed north to participate in the battle. The Qing army was defeated, with more than 10,000 dead and wounded, and the military equipment and materials of the camp grain platform were all trapped in Pukou.

Dexinga did not dare to stand on the land and fled the river by boat. Jiangning's political envoy Yang Nengge sent a search, but it took two days in vain, and he was found only after he was found.

and Chunde, and then sent the guerrilla Kong Chaobiao to lead 2,000 troops to aid Liuhe.

Liangpu Deke, Chen Li Bing divided into two ways, one attack Liuhe, one attack Tianchang.

On September 30, 1858, Chen Yucheng led 30,000 troops to attack Liuhe. Dexinga gathered more than 10,000 defeated troops and fought again; Defeat again; Then he fled again, and once he was gone, there was no trace of him. Yucheng oversaw the siege of the city, and the battle was half loud, but it did not reach the city walls, and there were countless casualties.

Chen Yucheng sighed: The iron-beaten Liuhe is true to its name.

On the same day, Li Xiucheng and Xue Zhiyuan's army conquered Tianchang. On October 4, Li Shixian conquered the expedition without a fight; On the 9th, Shixian revisited Yangzhou. Erli agreed: cross the canal to the east and completely annihilate the first army of Dexing.

Feng Zicai led the southern camp to cross the river, and told Hechun: Pukou and Jiangpu were lost, and De Shuai was only spared, hidden in the boat, and anchored in the Siyuan ditch of Yizheng for more than ten days, and was unheard. Liuhe has been besieged by thieves for ten days, and there is no reinforcement, so he ignores him. On the north shore from Yangzhou to Liuhe more than 100 miles, there is not a single officer and soldier, and the thieves do it. I heard that the thief had arrived in Yangzhou and Yizheng. The German camp was defeated, and there were no more than three or four thousand soldiers left. The Ju assistant office and others only collected the embers, and they were stationed in Wanfuqiao, Shao Bo and other places, dozens of miles away from Yangzhou. Or hundreds, or thousands, in one place, undecided, soulless. If the thief attacks again, it's all over!

He Chun said that Zhang Guoliang said: Jiangbei thieves are very contrarian, Liuhe is in danger, non-brother can not solve this dilemma, brother crossed the river from Longtan, and galloped straight to Liuhe.

Zhang Guoliang said: Chen and Li join forces, it is menacing, I help Liuhe, Chen and Li attack together, dangerous! Step by step, the first to conquer Yangzhou, the second to revert to the march, quickly westward, in order to relieve the siege of Liuhe. Wen Shao has been in the city for six years, and there is a way to survive this catastrophe.

On October 15, Zhang Guoliang led 7,000 troops, crossed the Yangtze River from Zhenjiang, and arrived at Wanfu Bridge, where he received 5,000 brave soldiers, and the army was greatly boosted. Guoliang urgently ordered his subordinates to repair the bridge and complete the boat, and chose the opportunity to cross the river west into Yangzhou.

When Li Xiucheng heard this, he immediately ordered Li Shixian to lead 10,000 troops, choose a place to cross the river, and flank the Jiangnan camp.

On the 20th, the pontoon bridge was built, and the Guoliang overseers attacked, Li Xiucheng resisted a little and retreated from the city; On the 23rd, the resumption of the ceremony; Advice to Chen Yucheng: Suke Liuhe, join the army and Yuzhang.

Chen Yucheng received the consultation, knowing that the demon aid was coming, so he ordered Lan Chengxian: outside the small east gate, dig a tunnel by the river.

Wen Shao heard about it and dug it to refuse. Yucheng re-ordered to enter through the trench, support the shield on the board, padded bamboo and wood below, and raised two coffins of medicine, and went straight to the foot of the city. The dawn exploded, and the city fell more than ten zhang.

Wen Shaoyuan saw that the general trend had gone, and together with the general soldier Luo Yubin and the county commander Li Shoucheng threw himself into the water and died, Liuhe was lost.

On the same day, Li Shixian crossed the Wujiang River and attacked Lishui.

Nanying is empty, and spring panics, consulting Zhang Guoliang: Liuhe is surrounded by water on three sides, the city is strong, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Once it is owned by a thief, it will be carried out with all its might, and it cannot be broken by eagerness. I order: Adjutant General Ma Dezhao led 2,000 troops to stay, and the Erbu returned immediately.

Zhang Guoliang crossed the river, that is, accompanied Zhang Yuliang's troops, and forcibly drove Li Shixian's army.

When the war in Jiangbei was eliminated, He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang, said: However, after the wreck of Chadexing'a from Pukou, he immediately boarded a boat from Liuhe, Yizheng, and Yangzhou to Shaobo Town, and there was no camp, and his prestige was lost. Ju Dianhua, Mao Sanyuan, and Cheng Ming, who assisted in military affairs, all had the ability to be partial generals, but they did not have the knowledge of commanders. And Ju Dianhua is rough and rude, and he is not a soldier. Mao San was seventy years old and his energy was relatively inferior. However, Cheng Ming is still considerable. and the winged captain Fu Ming, who is also very brave. However, there must be a commander to supervise it, so that it can be spread. Today, Jiangbei has many political outlets, and Dexing Amei can not be business-oriented, not to say that it is in a slump. The commander who was ordered to send aid to Liuhe, De'an, was old and sick, and the road was blocked, and he didn't know when he would arrive.

Sheng Bao said: After the retreat of the battalions in Pukou, there were thieves along the north bank of the river. Although the officers and soldiers in Jiangnan have been tightly blocked, the thieves' grain, rice, goods and medicine have been given a lot. And Jinling rebelled against the false order and put the thieves in Jiangbei and the people of Xinwei into the city, about more than 10,000, and ordered them to defend the city. He also drove a number of long-haired thieves in the city to the north of the river, and placed them under the jurisdiction of the rebel leaders, and ordered them to rush to all directions. It is said that before the collapse of the Puying, the thieves in Jinling were short of food, and every day the men put four taels of grain and the women two taels, and the starving people blocked the road, and the hearts of the people had collapsed. If there is no such danger, it will be recovered in September and October.
