Chapter 163: Zuo Zongtang Cleanses the Kingdom of Heaven (3)
When Liu Dian arrived at the lower dam, he ordered Gao Liansheng to attack the Jiaoling North Road Pass and divide the water pass; He also ordered Huang Shaochun to respond from behind.
Gao Liansheng was ordered, and the soldiers were divided into three ways, and the raid was divided into water passes, and they were won with one blow.
The water pass fell, Wang Haiyang was shocked, personally led the main army, attacked head-on, and sent two more troops, the soldiers were divided into two roads, and copied Gao Liansheng's back road.
Gao Liansheng fought on all sides, and his strength was invincible; When Huang Shaochun heard the news, he flew to lead reinforcements to arrive, and the two joined forces to repel the Taiping army. However, Gao Liansheng did not dare to stay in the water col again, retreated ten miles, and built a fortress to watch.
Wang Haiyang retreated back to the city, and immediately summoned all the generals to discuss the withdrawal of troops.
Wang Haiyang said: The battle of Fangcai has crippled the Gao Liansheng Demon Department, if I abandon the city and leave, the demon army on the North Road will not chase. All departments reorganized their troops and made preparations quickly.
Five days later, Wang Haiyang suddenly ordered Hu Yongxiang, the general, to attack the Kang Guoqi Department in the east to contain it; The rest of the troops, divided into three routes, went out of the city to the west, and rushed to Pingyuan.
Liu Dian knew that the Taiping army had fled, and it was already after sunset, Liu Dian Xun drove all the troops into Jiaoling City, and the garrison was peaceful.
The Taiping army withdrew from Jiaoling and was intercepted by Lou Yunqing and Xi Baotian halfway before they arrived at Pingyuan County. The two armies fought fiercely at Dongshi and Dazheng for four days, and the Taiping army was defeated.
Lou Yunqing and Xi Baotian divided their troops to garrison Huangxiangbao and Egongwei, and it was impossible to enter Jiangxi from the far north of Pingyuan, so Haiyang led the army to continue westward, and on October 2, they arrived at Huangpiwei in Xingning.
Wang Haiyang surveyed the terrain and decided to rest and recuperate the garrison and set up an ambush to standby.
On October 3, a heavy team of the Chu army traveled a long distance and strayed into Huangpiwei, and more than 100 soldiers were killed, and all the heavy arms were robbed.
Gao Liansheng was furious, personally led the main army, crossed Huangpiwei, and pursued the Taiping army. Wang Haifu set up an ambush in the mountains and the shade of the trees to lure the high places.
Gao Liansheng bravely moved forward and went straight into the ambush circle; Wang Haiyang ordered all units to close the retreat route, and immediately launched artillery and gun fire. Gao Liansheng was fearless in the face of danger, and his troops were divided into two ways and tried their best to counterattack. Candidate prefect Kang Xiongfei did not dare to retreat, and also led his army to enter the ambush circle and help the high department.
Seeing this, Wang Haiyang transferred another 20,000 troops and forced them up layer by layer. After a fierce battle, the Chu army was defeated, and more than 2,000 people under Dusi Guan Zhenbang, deputy general Kang Daben, and general Zou Chaorui were all killed; The injured are countless.
Kang Guoqi was furious and wanted to kill Kang Xiongfei to correct the military law.
Gao Lian was resisted by lift, and said: This has nothing to do with Xiong Fei; The long-term drive goes straight in, the pursuit is in the middle of the ambush, and the responsibility lies with me; If you want to kill or chop, let Zuo Shuai dispose of it.
Zuo Zongtang was also angry when he heard the defeat, and quickly said: Wang went against the ocean to Jiaoling, and he rushed to Jiangxi from Fujian, but he couldn't succeed, so he changed from Pingyuan to find a way. Wang rebelled to know that the thieves were scattered, and they rushed out of Jiaoling, wrapping the thieves and their baggage in the center, and the cronies and dead parties were subordinate to the front and back to reject the official army.
After Wang Yi escaped from Jiaoling, he ran wild day and night, without stopping, and the fierce party had been wiped out and half. Its puppet Pingdong King, Puppet You King, and Tingying Rebellion Huang Dwarf have been wiped out and scattered.
Wang rebelled and schemed to cross Jiangxi and find another way to survive. The Fujian army choked Wuping, and could not flee north, but instead attacked Pingyuan from the southwest of Jiaoling. Shijiang army Xi Baotian intercepted the east stone, the Fujian army from the back of the hurry, reverted from the Dazheng to Xingning's Huangpiwei, Luo Fusi.
Gao Lian was promoted to the army, chasing and suppressing thieves, and he did not stop for six days and nights, and he did not hear that the Guangdong army would be suppressed by a pawn and a horse. This time, the bandits dared to be ferocious, intercepting baggage and munitions, accepting heavy bribes from thieves, and harming officials and soldiers.
