Chapter 91: Duxing's Battle of Chen Yucheng

On November 30, 1858, Chen Yucheng arrived in Susong and built more than 40 fortifications along Jingqiao and Chen's house; The other unit sent Li Sifu from Qingcaoyuan to force Huangnigang, attacked from the north flank, and monitored the movements of Bao Chaoting's army in Erlanghe.

Duxing ordered the horse team to gallop to Huangnigang and defeated Li Sifu's first section; He also personally supervised the rest of the troops to line up next to the camp to strengthen the hearts of the army.

Duxing Ah said Duolong Ah Dao: Li Ru's nine losses are exhausted, and the vitality of Xiang Yong has been greatly frustrated.

Duolong Adao: If you retreat, you will be chaotic, and you will be in a decisive battle; I lead the headquarters and swear to the death.

Duxing Adao: Chen thief uses soldiers, erratic, thirty checks back to the carbine, and it is also extremely powerful; Yuer's front and middle two armies, and thieves to the death; I supervised the rear army, the cavalry, and the camera moved. Our troops are sparse, and I have flown to the counselors Shu Bao, Li Xuyi, and Pu Chengyao to help.

On December 1, when the sky was foggy, Duolong Ah Qin led the elite cavalry to gallop through the Taiping army's large array, set fire to the rear of the rear, and burned all the Taiping army's grain and grass.

Chen Yucheng returned to the back road, and Duolonga took advantage of the situation to attack.

Yucheng panicked and returned to resist; He also sent an army from the king's house to surround the camp of Duolonga.

Seeing this, Du Xing'a led the horse team and flew to the mountain pass by the Wangjia. The two armies fought, the Taiping army infantry was defeated by the Qing army's horse team, and it collapsed at the first touch, like a landslide, pouring thousands of miles, affecting the Chinese army, Chen Yucheng could not stop it, and retreated with the waves. Duolonga and Duxinga took the opportunity to chase and attack wildly, destroying more than 30 Yucheng military camps.

Chen Yucheng retreated from the peach blossom shop, met with Li Xiucheng, and joined hands to resist the enemy.

Li Xiuchengdao: The battle of Sanhe Town, if it weren't for the fog, the outcome would be mixed. After half a year of fighting, we will lose our troops and lose our elites, so it is not appropriate to fight again.

Chen Yucheng said: The Qing Demon of E, but the only fighters are Duolong and Bao Chao. Wuchang demon aid, half a month is difficult to come; Shengbao in northern Anhui and Weng Tongshu are two demons, which have been twisted. Kill the tiger and destroy the dragon, this opportunity is the best, and the loyal brother must not give up!

Li Xiucheng said: This battle is not trivial, let me think again.

Day after day, Chen Yucheng begged again: Erlang River, Susong, 30 miles apart, Bao Chao's 5th battalion Qing Demon, lonely stationed in Lishan, the main force of Brother Wuhui, first suppress this demon!

Li Xiucheng reluctantly said: Yes.

On December 10, 1858, Chen Yucheng led an army of 30,000 troops, stretching for 20 miles, distributing dozens of layers, from the area of Hua Pavilion, 25 Lidun and Jingqiao, to attack the Erlang River.

Duxing Asu subdivided Susong, Cheguling soldiers, and Bao Chao in the north; Since leading the horse team, after the detour of the flower pavilion.

Chen Yucheng ordered Sun Kuixin, the owner of the white flag of the twisted army, to be the vanguard and lead his troops to attack first. Bao Chao divided his troops to meet the interception, and the fierce battle was overtime, and the Qing army's horse team suddenly came out from the rear, and Sun Kui was discouraged and retreated back to the camp in defeat.

Yu Cheng reverted to the order of the twisted army to be the yellow flag banner advocated that Zong Yu attack again, and was defeated again. Yucheng was furious, personally led the Chinese army, and fought with Bao Chaoting's army for three hours. Seeing that the victory was difficult, Bao Chao hurriedly gathered 200 muskets and fired them in unison. Yucheng was close to the soldiers, and all of them fell to the ground; Yu became afraid, and he had the intention of retreating. I also heard that the Duxing Amas attacked the camp of the Flower Pavilion; Yucheng had no intention of fighting anymore and rushed out of the battle. Du Xing'a and Bao Chao led their troops in pursuit, slashed and killed thousands of Chen's troops, and broke through the camp 40. The Taiping armies, except for Xiucheng, were all scattered.

Chen Yucheng retreated to Taihu Lake, rectified the rout, disturbed Qi and Huang in the west, returned to the horse with a shot, sought victory in defeat, advanced to Hubei, transferred the capital Xing'a to return to help, and intercepted halfway. Li Xiucheng did not allow it, so he led his own headquarters, entered Chao County in the east, and rested for the New Year.

Chen Yucheng was helpless, and led 6,000 horses to attack Qizhou from the area of the Nanyang River.

The Tang Xun Fang of Hubei Province ordered all battalions to go deep and high, and they were ready for battle. Chen's army was in decline, unable to attack repeatedly, and the army's morale was in turmoil.

On December 15, 1858, the Qing reinforcements Tang Xiehe troops arrived in Macheng, and Li Xuyi's troops arrived in Huangzhou.

Chen Yuchang sighed, withdrew his troops back to Anhui, rested for more than a month, ordered Wu Ruxiao, temporarily abandoned Liangyuan, retreated to the store, and Luzhou were each other's horns, luring Zhan Weng to write the same book; Shucheng and Tongcheng divided their soldiers into battles, trying to protect the city camp and win the battle. All ministries must bluff and make a big noise. Li Demon Meng Qun, lead troops to fight, then fight; No, neither to disturb.

Liu Linglin said: Can you invite Li Xiucheng to help?

Chen Yuchengdao: He celebrates the New Year in Chao County, so there is no need to disturb.

The Taiping army came to attack, and Shengbao and Weng Tongshu immediately ordered the general soldier Ji Shun and the deputy commander of the capital to divide their troops to meet the battle. The two armies have been fighting for more than a month, and the victory is inseparable. Chen Yucheng then ordered the rest of the army to recuperate.

The war was temporarily extinguished, and the capital was prosperous: although the thieves were defeated twice, they were very powerful. The minister's department only has more than ten battalions of infantry such as Tingzi, which is really not enough to block and suppress, and the official document is far away in Wuchang, far away, and the situation of the former enemy's hope for help cannot be learned quickly. Even if the troops were divided to aid Anhui as before, if Hu Linyi supervised the deployment, Li Xubin would not be defeated in depth. The slave asked, and Hu Linyi rushed to the Hubei military camp, stationed in the Huangmei area, and dispatched in the center.

The governor of Huguang also invited Hu Linyi to go to the office to supervise the military affairs of Hubei and Anhui; Zeng Guofan quickly arrived at Chu and contained Chen Li Bingfeng.

When Emperor Xianfeng heard that he was dying, he didn't feel that he was crying, and said: Cherish my good general, and don't give the order. Shang Ji is loyal to the soul, he was born Shen Fu to Zuo Yu also! Hu Qing Lin Yi, in addition to the grief of his injuries, quickly prepared to go to the aid generously; Zeng Guofan must not act recklessly, stay in Jiangxi and Fujian, supervise the generals to send troops, and completely eliminate Shi Dakai's rebels.

When Hu Linyi learned of the defeat of the Sanhe army, he vomited blood and howled: It's a pity, God damns the nine dukes, and he can't bear to spare his body because he knows that there are few soldiers, and he can't bear to disobey the king when he knows that there are many thieves. This time, the Great Wall was lost, the vitality was lost, and the elite of the four-year entanglement was overturned. And the talent who dares to fight, the wise and wise, are also exhausted.

When the news of Li Xubin and Zeng Guohua's death reached Jiangxi, Zeng Guofan mourned and reduced his diet for a few days; When I went up to a tall building at night, I didn't feel that the wind was rushing to tear my clothes; Suddenly, the sound of partridges rises, the moon is dangerous, the sky is clear, and it is boundless, just like the shadow of the old man; The national domain was full of tears, holding empty hands, and whimpering with sorrow: Wen Fu is there? Where is Wen Fu! Return! Return!
