"Kill!" The Chahar Commander Tang Braji pulled out the scimitar in his hand, pointed ahead, and shouted, the Chahar cavalry beside him galloped on horseback, and the earth seemed to be shaken, and the twisted army in front seemed to hesitate, but they did not show weakness, and collided head-on.

Suddenly the sound of fighting, shouting, and horse chirping came and went, Tang Braji pressed the formation behind with a black face, and seemed to not care about the situation in the field at all, just stared calmly, after half a meal, he saw that the formation of the twisted army in the northwest corner was a little scattered, Tang Braji squinted his eyes, shouted loudly in Mongolian, and rushed forward first, and the twist army in the northwest corner resisted for a while, and the team became more and more panicked, and it was about to be unable to resist.

"If you can't resist, then you can't resist." Han Laowan, the chief blue flag master of the Twist Army, heard the announcement of his subordinates, and said this lightly, Hou Shiwei, the chief red flag master on the side, was taken aback, and hurriedly called out "wolf" - this is Han Laowan's nickname, "The general flag master told us to resist for at least two days, why is it only half a day," You are ready to withdraw the fire.

"Hmph, Chief Banner Master, he really thinks he is the prince! The king of Han is just his brothers to give him face, hold him as a target, help everyone resist the officers and soldiers, usually it's just that, but he didn't say hello to me before, he killed my Liu Yongjing, I haven't settled this account with him, now we are told to resist outside, he himself led his troops to attack Sanhejian Town, but told us to drink the northwest wind, and when we resisted for two days, when the brothers under his subordinates were lost, he had already captured the town to eat and drink spicy, and the soldiers were strong and strong. I have to turn my face and fight us, now I have helped him block it for a long time, and I have done my duty, Lao Hou, can you go? Han Laowan stood up and prepared to turn around and leave.

Hou Shiwei, the master of the Red Banner of the Twisting Army, sighed, and also got up and followed Han Laowan out of the tent, Han Laowan instructed the soldiers on the side: "Mingjin, let's cross the river and go home!" "Finished. I heard a black firework in the sky to the west. Han Laowan said with a smile: "Look, Lao Su is not a fool, and the black flag is ready to retreat, so let's keep the white flag and play with Zhang Lexing!" ”

It's really a punishment for not teaching. Kill Liu Yongjing. So now it's time for the future.

Zhang Lexing laughed at a walled mouth in Sanhejian Town. Regardless of the frantic resistance of the Jianrui battalion, the Twist Army rushed into the pass like a swarm, regardless of how the Qing army resisted. That pass is getting bigger and bigger, and I see that Sanhejian Town is about to be unable to defend it.

Wu Yundi shot an arrow into the forehead of the twisted thief who burst in, and the twisted army fell in response, and the comrade who was supervising the battle in front came over covered in blood, "Old Wu, the front head can't stand it!" We are cavalry, and we are not good at defending the city! ”

"Damn, if the commander gives us some artillery battalions, why is this!" Wu Yundi took a look at the situation in front of him, his fighting spirit was undiminished but he was helpless, "That's it, you call someone to go to the town first, give me all the places for grain and grass, and then we will retreat!" ”

"Okay!"

Zhang Lexing proudly waved his horsewhip to command the army to move forward, and beat the three rivers to reward the three armies, but he didn't expect the small flag master of the yellow flag behind the back hall to stumble over, "Chief flag master!" The black, blue, and red flags that resisted in the outer circle resisted for a while, and now they all retreated north! ”

"What!" Zhang Lexing almost fell off his horse, grabbed the reins of the horse tightly, and looked panicked, "They dare not listen to the order, I obviously told them to resist for two days!" ”

"The chief white flag master has been killed, and he has been bombarded by the cannons of the Qing Demon! Flag-bearer, what to do now? ”

With the voice of the little yellow flag owner, there was a roaring sound of artillery not far away, as well as the sound of muskets one after another, Zhang Lexing's eyes suddenly became dark, he was dizzy, and he fell down from the horse.

On September 19th, Monk Greenqin broke the Twist Army Zhang Lexing's department, Shengbao's artillery bombarded Gong Deshu, the general white flag master of the Twist Army, the blue flag and the black flag and the red flag were defeated and retreated, and scattered the Eight Banners Guard Army Camp and Luyi County Regiment Training to the north, and wandered around the Hehuai area again, but it was already an elbow and armpit problem, so there was no need to worry, Zhang Lexing's department was killed by artillery three or four out of ten, and fled southward, and happened to encounter three thousand cavalry led by Jiang Qi under the command of Wang Jinxiu, who was ordered by Jiang Zhongyuan, the governor of Anhui, to come to the siege, and he was full of energy. Rushed up to kill the first Zhang Lexing, the first bandit of the Twist Army, who had just woken up from a coma, and the Twist Army was defeated, Zhang Lexing's nephew Zhang Zongyu gathered the remnants, went all the way to the south, captured Lu'an Huoshan County, and submitted a letter to Shi Dakai, who was commanding the troops in Hukou, expressing his willingness to accept the leadership of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom with the conditions of listening to the seal and not listening to the Xuan.

Shi Dakai, who was leading the Taiping army to attack Chizhou and Huizhou, saw the letter of Chengcheng and was overjoyed, and quickly personally led a team of elites, crossed the river and crossed Taihu County, after Qianshan County and Zhang Zongyu in Anqing Prefecture, instead of the Heavenly King Zhang Zongyu as the king of Liang, the other generals were rewarded, and after the division, he also defeated the Jiang Qi Department who came to pursue and attack after hearing the news, and then returned to Hukou, at this time, from Zhenjiang, Tianjing to Hukou, Jingdezhen along the river were occupied by the Taiping army, leaving only Anqing to isolate the riverside, is still firmly held in Wang Jinxiu's hands.

At the beginning of October in the fourth year of Xianfeng, Shi Dakai convened the three armies in Hukou, and was about to go down to northern Jiangxi again, seize Nanchang, and when he was fighting his troops, he received an urgent edict from the 9,000-year-old military division of Dongwang who sat in Tianjing, and had no choice but to send troops to hold Hukou, Jingdezhen, Huizhou and other places.

Soon after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established Tianjing as the capital in May of the third year of Xianfeng, the Qing army established Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps in the eastern suburbs of Tianjing and Yangzhou respectively, echoing each other, threatening Tianjing, Zhenjiang, and Guazhou, and preventing the Taiping army from advancing eastward into Suzhou and Changzhou. Four years after Xianfeng, the Taiping Army was in an unfavorable situation, and the Northern Expeditionary Army was completely annihilated; Although the Western Expeditionary Army had a turning point in Jiangxi, Anhui Taipingfu, Luzhou, and Jiangxi were successively ineffective, Tianjing grain transportation was trapped, and the waterway was also cut off by the Qing army; The Shanghai Xiaodaohui uprising was suppressed, the Qing army moved to Zhenjiang, and the defenders were cut off from foreign aid. In order to get rid of the unfavorable situation, Yang Xiuqing decided to concentrate his forces and recall the troops stationed in various places to attack the camps in Jiangbei and Jiangnan to eliminate the problem of elbows and armpits.

Xiang Rong, who has been following the Taiping army since Guangxi, received an edict from Emperor Xianfeng, granting Xiang Rong the post of minister of Qincha, in order to replace the former minister of Qincha who died, Xu Guangjin, the governor of Huguang, this unexpected reward, as well as the promise of Emperor Xianfeng, made Xiang Rong grateful, after he rushed to Nanjing, he established a camp in the south of the Yangtze River in the area of Xiaolingwei in the east of the city, and commanded the water division under the Zhenjiang River, on the one hand, besieged Tianjing City, on the other hand, to cover Changzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other rich areas, Emperor Xianfeng also dismissed Yang Wending, the panicked governor of Jiangsu, from his post, and appointed Xu Naizhao, the assistant military affairs of the Jiangnan battalion, as the acting governor of Jiangsu, so that the military and civil affairs of Jiangsu Province were unified in the hands of the Jiangnan battalion. (Later, Xu Naizhao was dismissed for Britain, France, the United States and other countries to launch the Battle of Mud City in Shanghai, and Gil Hanga served as the governor of Jiangsu) (to be continued......)
