If Han Xin was an assassin, then Bai Qi was a brilliant swordsman. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing that the Taiping army was attacked from behind by the Leopard Tao Army, the formation was in chaos. Bai Qi naturally would not remain indifferent, and he immediately ordered the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Divisions of the Longxiang Legion to go out of the city to participate in the battle.

As a result, the Taiping army faced a flank attack.

The three generals, Yang Xiuqing, Lin Fengxiang and Chen Yucheng, wanted to organize a large army to form a formation to defend against the enemy, but unfortunately it happened too suddenly, and their efforts had little effect. Although the Taiping soldiers are no longer soft persimmons after a year of tempering, they have not yet reached the realm of fearlessness.

In the face of the general trend, they simply cannot make a difference.

The timing chosen by Han Xin was too deadly. It was the time when the Taiping army was the most tired, and at the same time, it was also the most lax in the heart. The warriors were already imagining that after the retreat, they would have a full meal at night.

Where did they think that at this time, they would suddenly face a test of life and death. Fate is so cruel, it often gives you a fatal blow when you are caught off guard.

The large-scale rout of the Taiping army is just around the corner.

The sunset in the sky is becoming more and more gorgeous, and half of the sky is red.

The battle in the wilderness did not stop as the night approached. Every man on the battlefield is facing a test of life and death.

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Taiping Army are making their last death throes. The earth-shattering cries of killing echoed in the empty wilderness, unable to disperse for a long time, and they reverberated on the mottled city walls, echoing in bursts.

On the battlefield, every moment there are warriors falling, in pools of blood, under the sunset.

The orange-red sunset dyes the most brilliant colors for this moment.

That's the color of life.

At the last moment of the fall, the soldiers showed such a unique sunset in their eyes.

In the gorgeous, there is a hint of warmth.

The crimson sun hanging in mid-air finally couldn't stand it anymore and slowly fell into the sky. Night finally fell, and a rare spark of stars rose in the sky.

The battle in the wilderness is finally coming to an end.

The sound of killing screams is getting weaker and weaker. Beyond the wilderness, there is already a pool of blood.

War horses are neighing, and gunpowder smoke is filling.

More than 100,000 troops of the Southern Route Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were finally defeated by the two armies of Shanhai City.

Soldiers, either fighting or fleeing.

Seeing that victory was hopeless, some soldiers simply chose to surrender. Most of the soldiers of the Taiping Army were born as refugees, and they were inspired by the king Hong Xiuquan to join the army in order to survive.

Therefore, they have to spare their lives more than anyone else.

Rows and rows of soldiers, wave after wave surrendered.

The soldiers laid down their weapons and stood alone on the blood-colored battlefield, helpless and hesitant.

Even the sound of weapons landing on the ground seemed so harsh.

This is a kingdom that has gone from prosperity to decline.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, in its most glorious moment, was about to fall to the bottom because of this defeat. An ambitious army of 200,000 will not survive after the First World War.

Just when the battle situation was the most unfavorable, Yang Xiuqing and other generals finally gave up the last struggle, led the elite troops, and prepared to break through.

It's a pity that neither Bai Qi nor Han Xin is ready to let the tiger return to the mountain.

The most elite cavalry units of the two legions were immediately sent out to encircle and suppress the fleeing enemy troops. It was precisely because of the sight of the fierce encirclement and suppression army, coupled with the flight of the main general, that the Taiping soldiers surrendered in despair.

In the darkness of the night, they would certainly not be able to outrun the pursuing cavalry.

Rather than this, it is better to choose to live.

After all, there is no one who does not really spare his life.

It wasn't until late at night that this huge manhunt came to an end.

Facing the pursuit of the two major legions, the three generals in the Taiping Army also faced different fates.

Lin Fengxiang led his troops to break through from the southwest, but was surrounded and suppressed by the Shaobu Division. His troops suffered heavy losses, and in the end, Lin Fengxiang died heroically, and the rest of the troops could only choose to surrender.

Chen Yucheng led his troops to break through from the northwest, but was pursued by Sun Chuanlin's division. Chen Yucheng, a famous general of the first generation, was shot off his horse by an arrow from the archer Sun Chuanlin and was reluctantly captured.

Seeing that the Lord would be captured, his subordinates had no choice but to surrender in the end.

The only one who escaped was Yang Xiuqing.

The person responsible for pursuing Yang Xiuqing is Mu Guiying, a generation of female generals. Under Bai Qi's instructions, Yang Xiuqing was "lucky" to escape from the chaos. In order to cover Yang Xiuqing, his troops suffered heavy losses.

In the end, only more than 3,000 people escaped with Yang Xiuqing.

According to post-war statistics, in this life-and-death battle that occurred in the evening, except for more than 3,000 people who followed Yang Xiuqing, plus a few lucky people who escaped into the mountains and forests at night, the rest of the soldiers were either killed in battle or surrendered.

The Southern Route Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom then disappeared.

With the fall of the Southern Route Army, one of the pillars of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also collapsed. How far can the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which has a broken leg, go?

Everything is still unknown.

The most critical battle in the southwest region has come to an end.

**********

In the vast night, Yang Xiuqing led more than 3,000 remnants and fled in a hurry. It wasn't until they ran for more than forty miles that they could no longer see the figure of the pursuers, and the group stopped to rest with a little peace of mind.

The soldiers silently took out their dry rations and cooking utensils and began to make a fire. The other guards instinctively either went to collect firewood or took a kettle to fetch water.

There were also some soldiers who dragged their tired bodies and stood guard around them.

The whole team was horribly silent.

Under the starlight, there are numb, frightened faces. And their main general, Yang Xiuqing, has never had a good time, and he is so tight that he may explode at any time.

After a quick bite to eat, seeing that the night was getting dark, the team simply repaired on the spot.

Wait until tomorrow and start again.

After personally inspecting the patrol troops, Yang Xiuqing dragged his tired body and prepared to walk into the makeshift camp to rest. It's a pity that the scenes that happened during the day kept echoing in his mind, and he couldn't sleep at all.

"Whew!" Suddenly, Yang Xiuqing got up yesterday.

Outside the tent, it was already pitch black, except for the constant twinkling of stars.

Yang Xiuqing put on her coat, walked out of the camp, looked up at the sky, and had a lot of thoughts for a while. In the dark, it seemed that the starry sky above his head was enlightening him, making his thinking clearer and clearer.

A gust of night wind blew, bringing a chill, and Yang Xiuqing unconsciously pulled the cloak on his body.

At this moment, Yang Xiuqing thought a lot.

There is the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, and there is also the fate of the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

This defeat made Yang Xiuqing soberly realize that the kingdom of heaven seems to be strong, but in fact it is like a castle formed by the accumulation of mud and sand on the beach.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiuqing was even more painful. It was he who single-handedly sent the kingdom of heaven to a dead end. In the dark night, Yang Xiuqing's body was not upright, and she looked unusually lonely and helpless.

"What is the general thinking?"

Suddenly, behind Yang Xiuqing, a deep voice came.

"Who?"

After all, Yang Xiuqing has been in the military all the year round, and he still has the vigilance he should have, and after "brushing", the long sword on his waist has been unsheathed, and the cold light is shining.

Turning his head, he saw that the person who came was an ordinary sergeant, but he looked a little raw.

"Who are you, and why don't you stay in the camp?"

Yang Xiuqing's words were already full of anger, and he couldn't tolerate his subordinates having no rules.

"General!"

At this moment, the sound of Yang Xiuqing drawing his sword alarmed the patrolling soldiers, who were rushing over here.

"Does the general know that death is coming?"

The ordinary sergeant, but there was not the slightest panic on his face, and the words he said made Yang Xiuqing's heart tremble, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"It's going to be fine, you keep patrolling."

Yang Xiuqing frowned, first sent away the patrol soldiers, then turned his head to look at the strange sergeant, and said in a deep voice: "You come with me." So saying, he got up and walked towards the tent.

The sergeant, silently following behind.

Inside the tent, Yang Xiuqing suddenly turned around, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, murderous, staring at the sergeant deadly, and said word by word: "Say, you, who are you?" ”

"It doesn't really matter who I am. The important thing is that I can help you fight the general. ”

"Hmph, don't be ashamed!"

"So, the general actually knows the situation he is about to face, right?"

“……”

Yang Xiuqing was speechless. He is not a fool, how can he not know how difficult his situation will be next. Thinking of the Heavenly King's cold eyes, Yang Xiuqing shuddered.

"With the suspicion of the king of heaven towards the general, the general was defeated this time, and the army was lost. With the temperament of the Heavenly King, does the general still have luck and think that he can escape? ”

The ordinary sergeant, whose words were not polite at all, exposed Yang Xiuqing's predicament nakedly-naked.

When Yang Xiuqing heard this, her face became darker and darker, and she pursed her lips and was silent.

At this moment, the sergeant suddenly changed his words and said, "The general is puzzled in his heart, why is the Heavenly King so jealous of you?" ”

"You know?"

When Yang Xiuqing heard this, her eyes suddenly widened, and even the tone of her voice trembled a little.

This question is the biggest knot in Yang Xiuqing's heart. He only promised that after entering the wilderness, he would be loyal to both the king of heaven and the kingdom of heaven.

Unexpectedly, he was suspicious of the lord for no reason.

This feeling is really uncomfortable. Yang Xiuqing was a sensitive person, and he felt that there was a pair of eyes looking at him inquiringly from behind.

This feeling is really creepy.

However, on this night, a strange sergeant told the biggest mystery in Yang Xiuqing's heart, how not to shock him.

The smell of conspiracy was in the air.

"I know a little bit about it." The sergeant nodded and said, "If the general can be trusted, he is willing to come one by one." ”

"You speak!"

Yang Xiuqing is also an ordinary person, calm down and waiting.
