And at this time, on the other side of the strait.

A military general said to Zeng Guoquan: "My lord, we could have captured the coast of Duwan immediately. Gain a foothold there, and the follow-up forces can be pressed up in a steady stream. But he didn't expect that the young king of the Taiping Army killed him, this person was completely unreasonable, and he was only slightly injured by dozens of bullets, and he killed people quickly and quickly. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that the Taiping Army had a Young Heavenly King, we would have won during the day today. ”

Zeng Guoquan listened to the general's words, but couldn't help but smile: "Therefore, the intelligence from Japan is not wrong." He Xuan's invincible state at the time of his resurrection was only temporary. He hasn't gotten much stronger than he was four years ago. Since he didn't get stronger, he gave us a chance to kill him. ”

"We have won this battle. ”

Zeng Guoquan said confidently.

"On the coastline of Duwan Island, there are only three forts suitable for us to land on such a large scale: Fort Seahawk, Fort Guwang, and Fort Yuanguan. These three forts are heavily guarded. ”

"Zhongwang Li Xiucheng also uses veterans to fight old battles, I have fought with him for many years, and I know that it is quite difficult to take advantage of him. Zeng Guoquan said in a deep voice: "Therefore, in the next wave, we will fight hard and directly attack Sea Eagle Fort, where the decisive battle will be won." ”

"Of course, it wasn't such a big battle at the beginning. We can only transport 15,000 troops at a time by steamboats. Such shipping is too slow. Zeng Guoquan said: "I went to borrow a Westerner's ship and transported 60,000 or 70,000 troops at a time." ”

"These 60,000 troops are all musket-wielding troops. The remaining 10,000 were cold weapons. ”

"This kind of force can directly sweep away the Taiping army on Duwan Island. ”

Hearing Zeng Guoquan's big move, his generals couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Are Westerners willing to borrow so many steamships?"

"Of course Westerners are willing to borrow. In the eyes of Westerners, our Qing court is an obedient partner. The Taiping Army, on the other hand, was a disobedient partner. ”

"Western countries, if they want to squeeze more benefits out of our Qing country, they have to support us. And not other emerging powers. ”

"Of course, the Westerners are also unprofitable, and it is estimated that it will cost a lot of money just to borrow their steamboats. However, this was a battle to exterminate the Taiping Army. Come to think of it, the court will be willing to spend this money. ”

Zeng Guoquan smiled.

But in this way, wouldn't it be necessary to drag out the decisive battle for a few days? ”

"Drag it out, these days, go and attack Duwan every day, and don't let their soldiers rest. Anyway, we have a lot of people, we can take turns. They have no rest, and they must be the ones who collapse in the end. Zeng Guoquan is an old fighter, and he thought about these thoughts at once.

The next step was to negotiate with the Westerners, and the negotiation was successful a few days later.

......

Seven days later.

Western steamships arrived.

The army of 70,000 sat on the boat and went straight down the river to the bay.

Don't look at the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there are hundreds of thousands of troops, but the troops with firearms are only about 100,000, and they are all elite soldiers. These 70,000 troops accounted for more than half of the elite troops of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, this time the battle was also personally commanded by Zeng Guoquan, a famous general of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

It can be said that this is a battle that the Manchu Qing has been planning for a long time and invested greatly to destroy the Taiping army.

So many people rushed over directly.

Moreover, the target was directly aimed at Fort Seahawk.

The Taiping army of Seahawk Fort also received orders from above and tried their best to resist. If you really can't resist it, you can retreat. However, most of the Taiping army did not know that their young king had been invincible for a short time.

All they knew was that Fort Seahawk could not be lost.

Once lost.

Then, the army of the Qing army can go straight in.

The Taiping army in Duwan itself was unable to stop the Qing army at all.

In this case, the Taiping army in Duwan will be completely wiped out.

At that time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be completely finished.

So, with the support of this belief, they kept fighting back and fighting back.

The battle was quite intense.

Firearms are firing brightly.

Flesh and blood are splattered.

Both sides suffered heavy casualties.

However, on the side of the Taiping army, after all, the number is far less than that of the Qing army, and there is a considerable generation gap between the firearms and the Qing army.

Eventually, after the damage was quite severe, they received information from the upper peaks and told them to retreat.

There was only a reluctant retreat.

The Qing army finally stormed into the Sea Eagle Fort.

They were all very happy.

They have been fighting against Fort Sea Eagle for more than a week, but they have not captured it, but they have suffered serious losses here. Now it's finally taken.

Zeng Guoquan himself, accompanied by many guards, stepped into the Sea Eagle Fort. It stands to reason that he is the commander of the three armies and will not rush to the front. But this time, Zeng Guoquan had absolute confidence in defeating the Taiping army on Duwan Island, so he also confidently followed.

He raised his hand: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that we have captured Seahawk Fort, we will rest for a while. Then, attack the entire territory of Duwan Island. Wipe out all the Taiping armies here and wipe out the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. has made such a great achievement, and it is not a problem for you to be promoted and make a fortune. ”

Hearing him say this, the soldiers below all applauded.

Zeng Guoquan was actually a little puzzled, why he didn't see He Xuan's figure in this battle. But thinking about it, if you invest in such a big battle, it is the young king of the Taiping Army who makes a move, and in fact, it can't have much impact.

This time, the Taiping army had already lost.

......

Not too far from Seahawk Castle, in the middle of a valley.

He Xuan, who was dressed in white, was washing his sword.

Adjusting the feeling.

I don't know why, when I use a sword, I always like green clothes, or white clothes, which are the purest. Wearing other colored clothes, the heart is not so still. I don't feel the feeling of being completely one with the sword.

Gradually, I feel that my momentum has been pushed to the peak.

Brush Brush Brush!

Eight swords, one after the other.

When I was in the Great Song Dynasty, I had never been so serious. Because the Song Dynasty used cold weapons, they couldn't hurt themselves at all. No matter how you fight, you win.

Now, get completely serious.

This time, it was half of the main force of the Qing army.

As long as this half of the main force is eliminated, the Qing army will have to suffer a lot of vitality.

He Xuan raised his hand, picked up the wine gourd on the side, drank all the wine with a coo, and then threw the gourd and threw it by the river.

Now, go to war!

The spring breeze blows, the war drums beat, who is afraid of whom!

One body fights three thousand miles, and one sword dares to be a million divisions!

He Xuan's steps were very steady.
