Thanks to the 1st Guards Tank Brigade, robot9527, this question wants to ask the fairy, and the brothers are as long as the four great rewards!

...............

The Taiping Holy Army rushed into the east gate, and encountered sporadic green battalion soldiers and regimental training people in the city along the way, and fled in all directions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 It wasn't until he entered the Panyu County Ya, which was half a mile into the city, that he encountered an adjutant general leading more than 1,000 green battalions and 2,000 people, relying on the county government to resist.

The Taiping Holy Army did not entangle with it too much, and only sent more than 1,000 holy soldiers to guard the gate of the county government, and the rest of the holy soldiers continued to move forward, and they saw two high-style buildings. The leader was Lin Fengxiang, and he asked Xu Daguang, the guide who followed him, and Xu Daguang told him that it was the City God Temple, Guandi Temple, and Yushan Academy.

Lin Fengxiang asked the holy army not to take care of the temple and academy, let Xu Daguang lead the way, and led the holy soldiers straight to the yamen of the governor of Liangguang and the yamen of the governor and the general's mansion in Guangzhou.

Xu Daguang was very familiar with the city of Guangzhou, but because the governor of Liangguang was in the north of the city, he told Lin Fengxiang: "General Lin, according to Xu's understanding, since the vacancy of the governor of Liangguang, there are no more people in the Liangguang department. The largest Manchu officials in the city were the Guangzhou general Mu Teen and the acting governor and political envoy Bai Gui, as well as the deputy capital commander of Guangzhou, the envoy of Changdong according to the inspection, the Changdong Xuezheng, and the prefect of Guangzhou. The two Guang Ministries and the weapons and powder depots are located in the north of the city, according to the Inspectorate and the Supervision and Transportation Division, and the Xue Palace are located in the southwest of the city, and the rest are in the center of the city. ”

When Lin Fengxiang heard this, he made a decision without hesitation: "Okay, Brother Shengbang, you will lead part of the holy army to follow Brother Xu to occupy the Liangguang Hall and the weapon powder magazine in the north of the city, focusing on the powder magazine, don't let the Qing Demon who jumped over the wall in a hurry to blow up." The rest of the soldiers and brothers will follow me to occupy the various yamen of those demon heads! ”

After speaking, the Ten Thousand Saints soldiers divided into two roads, and each went west and north into the streets and alleys of Guangzhou City.

..........

The Guangzhou Governor's Department, who had just returned from the inspection of Xicheng Tower, was woken up by his subordinate master when Bai Gui, who had just fallen asleep: "My lord, something is wrong!" ”

"Master Gu, what's the matter of panicking and disturbing Benfu's rest!" Bai Gui asked unhappily.

"The Hairy Thieves have invaded the city!"

"What?! What did you say? Bai Gui jumped up from the bed almost like a spring, and viciously grabbed the master's collar, "When did the long-haired thief arrive in Guangzhou City?" You dare to talk nonsense, I let people kill you alive! ”

"Adults, how dare villains talk nonsense. The long-haired thieves arrived at the outskirts of the city two days ago, and retreated from the suburban county regiments that came to the rescue. One of my nephews was on duty at the city gate tonight, and he fled straight to me to report the letter. Tens of thousands of thieves have already passed the City God Temple, I'm afraid it won't be long before they will be killed here, my lord, I think it's better to prepare as soon as possible! Master Gu stared at Bai Gui with blank eyes.

"This Xu family, it's hateful that they didn't find out and get rid of them earlier. Unexpectedly, the mob attacked desperately in the past two days, but it turned out to attract troops in the city and assist the long-haired thieves to seize the city. Alas, now the city of Guangzhou, except for the southern waterway, the rest are besieged by anti-thieves, how can they escape? Bai Gui stomped his feet, and when he heard that the thieves were about to kill, he was like an ant on a hot pot, messing up.

"My lord, didn't you visit a while ago, didn't that foreigner named Bao or something say that he would send a Western warship to help the lord defend the city? Seeing that the foreigner was not in a hurry at all, could it be that he had some backhand, or should I ask him? "Master Gu has a bad idea.

"Hey, yes! How did you forget this package! He had promised to help send troops! originally thought that it would be impossible for the thieves to attack the city for a while and a half, and did not urge the foreigners to send troops, but I didn't expect to be caught off guard now. Bai Gui didn't care about cleaning up, and immediately led a group of personal soldiers out of the governor's courtyard and went straight to the consulate in the southwest corner of the city.

………..

On the Zhenhai floor in the north of the city, the Guangzhou general Mu Teen and several adjutant generals and guerrilla-like Qing generals were still discussing the military situation.

"Lord Commander, the last general thinks that the thieves outside the city are a little strange tonight! The thieves only attacked sporadically a few days ago, why did they suddenly attack the city frequently in the past two days? Especially tonight, the wind and rain are dark again, and the onslaught does not stop, even if there are countless casualties and no progress, they are still attacking desperately, there must be something strange? Right-wing deputy commander Thorn Dong said.

"What the Vice Metropolitan Master said is right! The last general also feels that something is wrong! An adjutant general chimed in.

Mutern was about to speak, when the door was pushed open, and one of his guards, the leader, stumbled in.

"Oh no, the thieves outside the city have broken through the east gate and the south gate, and have already rushed into the city."

"What?" Mutern kicked over the leader, "Explain it to Lao Tzu!" What the hell is going on? ”

"Your Excellency, it's a long-haired thief! The long-haired thieves had already colluded with the Xu family in the city, using the chaos in the north and west of the city to attack the city to attract our attention, and quietly opened the south gate. ”

"Ahh Heaven wants to destroy my Mutern clan! When Mutern heard this, his chest was slammed with a hammer, the tip of his tongue was sweet, and a mouthful of thick blood gushed up his throat. Pushing away the guards who helped him, Mu Ten instantly seemed to be ten years old, and said with a dead face: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while!" I, Mutern, have been eating for a long time, and now it's time to serve the emperor and the court. Soldiers, would you like to go down to the city with me to fight the long-haired thieves to the death? ”

All the green battalion soldiers did not answer when they heard this, only a few Eight Banner generals said loudly: "I am willing to fight to the death with the commander to repay the court!" ”

Mutern and the others went down the tower, and sure enough, they heard the sound of shouting and killing in the wind. He ordered the green battalion soldiers and Minzhuang at the head of the city to continue to defend the city, and gathered more than 3,000 soldiers from the Eight Banners in the north of the city to rush to the place where the killing and shouting were fierce in the city.

As soon as the three thousand Eight Banner soldiers crossed the arrow path, they heard countless shouts of men and horses killing near the Liangguang Hall. Before we could see the situation clearly, thousands of people had already gathered around. Suddenly, the soldiers of the two armies drew their swords and swung their spears to fight.

Half an hour later, the originally empty street between the two Guangbu Halls and the arrow path was filled with corpses. All 3,000 Eight Banner soldiers were slaughtered! In the dark night, it was impossible to tell who was the general and who was the soldier, and they all turned into slowly cold corpses.

Liu Shengbang was also covered in injuries! Unexpectedly, these Eight Banners soldiers were so fearless of death. Probably they also knew that as banner people, surrendering was also a death, so they restored the bloody nature of their ancestors and died in battle.

……..

Lin Fengxiang led the Ten Thousand Saints soldiers to be much easier. Most of the people encountered in the city were people led by some green battalion city defenders, who knelt down and surrendered as soon as they met. Because it was dark at night and it was Han Chinese, Lin Fengxiang ordered people to detain all of them on the spot and wait for dawn tomorrow to deal with them.

The holy army quickly occupied important parts of the Qing army, such as the Yamen of the Political Division, the Yamen of the Prefect's Office, the Governor's Courtyard, and the General's Mansion in Guangzhou, capturing hundreds of Qing generals and officials, and tens of thousands of Qing soldiers and civilians.

That night, the shouts of killing in the entire city of Guangzhou resounded almost all night, and the people in the city closed their doors one after another, and they also stayed up all night in fear! It wasn't until dawn that the entire city of Guangzhou slowly calmed down: the entire city of Guangzhou was also occupied by the Taiping Holy Army!
