The officers and men of the Holy First Army basically did not encounter decent resistance and successfully attacked the Qing army camp. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Except for three or four hundred Qing soldiers who jumped into the Lingjiang River, half of them did not know where to go, and most of them swam to the other side to flee in all directions, and almost all of the rest of the Qing soldiers became prisoners.

If Feng Shaoguang was here, he would definitely be surprised, he couldn't imagine that the local soldiers of the Qing Dynasty in this era, that is, the green battalion soldiers, would have such a low combat power! It is no wonder that the Eight-Nation Coalition Army later invaded the capital, although the difference in weapons was very large, but compared with the opponent, the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion soldiers, who were several times more than ten times the strength of the army, were defeated in a battle, which can be seen.

But Luo Xuan fought against these green battalion soldiers several times, and it was no longer strange.

He knew very well that the Qing army's current Eight Banner Soldiers and the Han Army's Green Battalion soldiers were both world soldiers, and the sergeants served as soldiers to eat food, and the family had to rely on salaries to survive. In order to take care of the life of the banner people, the Qing government had to expand the number of soldiers, and the quality of the soldiers was difficult to guarantee; In addition, due to lax training and lax discipline, combat effectiveness is declining day by day. On the contrary, the local regiments that have recently begun to be formed to train their hometowns are brave, and although they are poorly armed and equipped, they protect their hometowns and dare to fight, and their combat strength cannot be underestimated.

Torches have been lit on the upper floor of the county town opposite, and it seems that the attack camp of the Taiping Holy Army just now has alarmed the defenders in the city, the "Suspicious Battalion". There are also some Chenzhou soldiers who fled under the city wall, and were pulled up by the hanging basket put down on the city head and entered the city. It seems that the current enemy, the suspicious battalion in the city can no longer care about the confrontation with the Chenzhou soldiers, and is ready to deal with the Taiping Holy Army in unison.

It's starting to get dark.

The spies scattered outside the city came to report that the Chenzhou soldiers who fled into the city last night, under the leadership of the deputy general Deng Shaoliang, secretly left the city from the north gate at night and fled to the direction of Xintian County. Sun Yingzhao, the chief soldier of Yongzhou, did not know and did not go out of the city.

Hearing the news, Luo Xuan didn't care. Those Chenzhou soldiers secretly escaped out of the city at night, and they shouldn't have time to carry any property, and what excites Luo Jian the most now is how many weapons and property can be captured.

Luo Xuan ordered the six hundred holy army soldiers to take care of these prisoners, and before he even had time to clean up the captured materials in the barracks, he personally led the rest of the holy soldiers to cross the river and prepare to attack Ningyuan County from three sides.

Unexpectedly, although there was no heavy artillery in the city, more than 500 suspicious battalions occupied the favorable terrain of the city wall, using bird guns, rockets, etc., and mobilized the people in the city to defend the city wall.

Luo Xuan was distressed by the damage to his holy soldiers, and his calculation was to surround the county seat, and then invite dozens of artillery pieces from Daozhou to bombard the city gate, and blow up the city gate to naturally occupy the county seat. He had already made up his mind, so he wanted to send someone to Daozhou to bring artillery. Suddenly, I heard the report of the guards, and a commander asked to see him, saying that he had a plan to break the city and present it to the deputy general of Jinguan.

Luo Xuan hurriedly ordered the guards to invite the captain to come.

It's the kid who the Holy King promoted from the Boy Scouts to the rank of pawn commander with the nickname "Chen Siyan"!

Luo Xuan recognized it at once, but he didn't expect that he had been transferred to his own Holy First Army.

Chen Yucheng's figure is no longer too thin, although it is still a little quiet, but it has become a little thicker, and the black scar under his eyes is not only not hideous, but also adds a bit of heroism.

"Chen Yucheng, the second pawn of the front battalion of the left battalion of the Holy First Army, see the general!" Chen Yucheng bowed respectfully.

"Excuse me! Captain Chen, I heard that you have a clever plan to break this Ningyuan City, quickly tell Luo Mou. Luo Xuan asked directly.

"Your Excellency, my subordinates heard that the guards in Ningyuan City are all from Shijiadong in Ningyuan County. The subordinates thought that if the relatives and families of these guards were invited to receive them under the city wall and persuade them to surrender, even if the defenders in the city did not open the city and surrender immediately, they would definitely have their minds floating, and then our holy army would be able to capture Ningyuan City with one more courage. ”

Oh! Luo Xuan gasped! This kid has a lot of bad intentions, and this plan is too vicious! Who is this to invite the families of the guards? It sounds good, but it's clearly coercion! escorted the families of the guards in the city to the city to persuade them to surrender. Don't drop it, so who can do it regardless of the age of the family? Whoever values blood relatives the most.

Luo outline is overjoyed! It's a bad idea, but I like it!

"Good boy! I came up with such a ghostly idea! That's it! If you really persuade Ningyuan City to surrender, I will mention you to be the brigade commander! After Luo Xuan finished speaking, he ordered more than 500 people from the front battalion and the middle battalion of the left battalion to rush to Shijiadong, which is 60 miles north of the county seat, and "invited" all the young and strong people who had joined the suspicious battalion in the vicinity to the city of Ningyuan.

Two days later, in the evening.

On the upper floor of Ningyuan City, a middle-aged man in his thirties, looking into the distance, his brows furrowed, was Shi Huanzhi, the leader of the "Suspicious Courage Battalion" of the guards in the city. The reason why he frowned was precisely because of the long-haired thief army outside the city that surrounded Ning Yuan.

Since it attacked at dawn yesterday and was repelled by the "Suspicious Battalion", for nearly two days, the long-haired thief army has not attacked the city again. Shi Huanzhi's heart was not relieved because the long hair did not attack, on the contrary, he was heavy. Facing the calm long-haired thieves outside the city, he had a sense of foreboding, as if something bad was about to happen!

However, he couldn't tell what was wrong!

"Forget it, don't think about it so much, my cousin wrote a few days ago and said that I would return to Ningyuan in two days, it should be these two days!"

Shi Huanzhi thought about his cousin in his heart, and his frowning brows immediately soothed. When he thinks of his cousin, he doesn't have to worry about anything, because, as long as his cousin is there, his cousin can hold up big things!

In Shi Huan's life, the most admired is his cousin Shi Huanzhang! With his own strength, he created a "suspicious battalion" of more than 1,000 villagers with his own hands, brave and good at fighting, not to mention Ningyuan, even the entire Yongzhou Mansion, it is a decisive force.

Since its establishment more than a year ago, the "Doubtful Courage Battalion" has won every battle, helping the government to exterminate the congregations in the surrounding areas of Yongzhou Mansion and the mob in Chenzhou more than a dozen times. Just like this time, the Guangxi long-haired thief army attacked the city, and the cousin led 500 hometown soldiers to defend the city by the prefect. No, there is a cousin here, and the main force of the Guangxi long-haired thief army was really defeated and fled north, which was mentioned in the cousin's letter a few days ago.

However, the strange thing is that my cousin also mentioned in the letter that Liu Changqing, the governor of Guangxi, led his troops from Yongzhou Mansion to attack Daozhou, and it stands to reason that this long-haired thief couldn't go back to save Daozhou, how could he still think of attacking Ningyuan? Oh, by the way, Daozhou must have been occupied, and the long-haired thieves fled to Ningyuan in panic, attacking and grabbing some money and food by the way. However, if you are fleeing, you should rush to attack the city or run away, why do you still besiege Ningyuan City and not send troops to attack? Shi Huanzhi couldn't help but wonder again.
