At sunset, the smoke of the battlefield finally subsided.After Rong Lu's Eight Banners New Army swept all the strongholds outside the city, they had set up camp ten miles outside the eastern city, preparing to attack after dawn.The terrain outside the eastern city was flat, and the trenches and fences dug by the Taiping army had been completely swept away, and the only thing standing in front of the Eight Banners New Army was a moat and a six-meter-high city wall.It was the first time for Rong Lu to win such a hearty battle, so he was a little carried away in the army and held a banquet to celebrate the achievements of his soldiers.Anyway, the logistics materials were all supplied by the Qingzi Army, and Rong Lu didn't want to save Qiao Zhiqing."
Marshal, how can you let the soldiers drink, if the Taiping army sneaks up at night, we will suffer a big loss."
Duolonga came back from the front-line inspection tiredly, and as soon as he entered the barracks, he saw that there were staggered inside, he frowned for a while, and stepped forward to advise Rong Lu with a low face."
General Zuo is back, come on, come on, hurry up and do a bowl with Ben Shuai."
Rong Lu was obviously a little drunk, and when he saw Duolonga coming back, he hurriedly waved to greet him.Dorona stepped forward and sat down at the wine table, took a big sip of the wine bowl, and hung his head full of dissatisfaction."
General Zuo, the Taiping Army is now a frightened bird, what are you afraid of.Tonight, the brothers will have a drink, and tomorrow they will take advantage of the excitement to kill the enemy. ”Rong Lu personally poured a bowl for Duolong A, put his arm on his shoulder and smiled softly to comfort him."
Drink it, Dashuai, my subordinates will also go to inspect the defense line, so I won't accompany you."
Dorona replied unhappily with his fists, and got up to leave without drinking the wine."
General Zuo is really conscientious."
Rong Lu stood awkwardly in place with the wine jar and sneered, and continued to beckon the generals to drink."
Dashuai, the old boy of Duolong Ana is too faceless to give you, the big marshal of Shengbao didn't like him at the beginning, and left him in Yangzhou to defend.That old boy's heart is wild, and he always talks about your strengths and weaknesses behind his back. ”The right brigade commander Erhe made a color to the middle brigade commander Taqib, and complained to Ronglu."
Yes, handsome.Duolonga often disobeys the discipline by virtue of his military qualifications, when the commander of Shengbao transferred the army to Jinkuicheng to garrison, he was dissatisfied, and he also privately gave the court a fold, and the commander of Shengbao did not want to forge ahead, and was content with pleasure.For this kind of person, the handsome must be guarded against. ”The commander of the brigade, Taqib, also clenched his fists with a treacherous face."
Okay, everyone eats bars, and this matter is not allowed to be mentioned in the future, General Dorona can fight well, and it is normal to have a little temper.Besides, if Ben Shuai hadn't appeared, then this force would not have been led by General Dorona, Ben Shuai was trying to occupy his place, even if General Dolonga complained, it should have been. ”Sheng Bao was silent for a long time with a cold face, and after a while, he smiled again, took the wine bowl and toasted the generals, and a trace of murder inadvertently flashed in his eyes.In the middle of the night, the barracks, which had been celebrating all night, gradually quieted down, and only the sweet sound of sleep was left after a full meal.Dorona always felt a slight uneasiness in the military tent, stared for a moment, then stood up and walked out of the military tent, and patrolled around the barracks."
Stand up for me."
When Dorona went to a sentry point, he saw a group of soldiers on the night watch, holding foreign guns on the fence, and one by one they were snoring on the ground.Doron Ah yelled angrily for a while, stepped forward and kicked Bing Yong's ass."
The brigade commander spares his life, the brigade commander spares his life."
The soldiers suddenly opened their eyes, and when they saw that it was the angry Duolong, they quickly knelt down and pleaded again and again.Doron Aleng snorted, didn't look at them, and strode towards the next sentinel again.The soldiers wiped the cold sweat from their heads, let out a long sigh, and when Dolonga walked away, they nested on the ground and stared in a deep daze.At the fourth watch, except for the sound of the wind in the middle of the night, there was no sound.Suddenly, a violent explosion resounded in the sky, and the sleeping people fell to the ground in fright.Bursts of shouts and killings came one after another, and the military camp shrouded in darkness instantly fell into a shadow of swords and fire. ”What's going on, someone" Rong Lu got up from the marching bed in a panic, and hurriedly got out of the military tent and yelled at the chaotic soldiers outside."
Dashuai, run away, we have been attacked by long-haired thieves."
The right brigade commander Erhe had just woken up and was gathering troops to escort him, when he heard Rong Lu's roar and hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects."
Run away, gather the team and fight back."
Rong Lu yelled at the timid general, kicking him back a few steps."
Yes, yes, yes" Erhe looked at Rong Lu's murderous appearance, nodded in fright, and turned around and rushed into the scattered soldiers to shout and organize.Chen Yucheng stood on the city tower and looked at the chaotic scene in the Eight Banners military camp and couldn't help but sneer, under the cover of night, the role of the musket was minimal, and what he fought at this time was the ability to fight in close combat.Chen Yucheng sent almost all the cavalry in the city to attack, and the four hooves of the war horse were all wrapped in cloth, and there was no sound in the dark night.When it was less than a hundred meters away from the barracks, it quietly lurked in the night, and when the gunpowder blew open the gate of the camp of the Eight Banners, more than 2,000 war horses roared out in an instant, like a sharp blade in the belly of the Eight Banners Army.At this time, the Eight Banners Army was sleeping soundly, and before they could react in the camp tent, they were slashed and killed by the cavalry who rushed in.The training of the Eight Banners soldiers was just beginning, and the previous sloppy military discipline was revealed in an instant, and they did not have the intention of gathering to resist, so they scattered in all directions after putting on their clothes haphazardly.The fire was also spreading throughout the barracks, and the rockets in the hands of the cavalry were fired one after another at the tents, turning night into day in an instant.After the chaos of a stick of incense, a neat burst of gunfire suddenly rang out in the barracks.The brigades and regiments of the Duolong Azuo Brigade had already assembled one after another, and the soldiers in a row bravely raised their foreign guns and continued to fire at the cavalry not far away, crossing the line of fire in the night sky.The cavalry charging in all directions obviously encountered resistance, and hurriedly rushed to the other side.Dorona gave hot pursuit, commanding the gun array to quickly catch up.The positions defended by the right brigade and the middle brigade were not so quick to react, and the generals shouted for a long time in the brave soldiers before they organized a group of thousands of soldiers and horses, and by the time the cavalry of the long-haired thieves rushed up, it was already only a distance of more than 50 meters.The generals hurriedly commanded the shooting, followed by rows of dense gunfire.However, the speed of the cavalry was too fast, and the night was dark, and the scattered foreign guns basically did not cause any serious damage to the cavalry.The Taiping army still quickly attacked the foreign gun array, brandished the big sword in his hand and fought with the Eight Banners.The more than 1,000 resistance forces were also scattered in an instant, and there was chaos in the barracks.After an hour of fighting, a piece of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, and the dark night finally had a glimmer of light.The gun formations of the three regiments of Doaron were closely coordinated, and the advance and retreat were orderly, and the cavalry regiments were soon divided and encircled, and after dawn, the soldiers of the other two brigades also organized themselves and lined up in gun formations to resist.The cavalry of the Taiping Army interspersed the camp all night, but did not break up the ranks of the Eight Banners, but were surrounded by foreign guns one by one, making the bullets from the intensive shooting into bloody holes.The leading general finally let out a roar, and the horse corps retreated towards the outside of the camp.After dawn, Rong Lu gathered the chaotic soldiers and horses, and after checking the number of people by name, more than 2,000 people were killed by the Taiping army overnight, in fact, many of the more than 2,000 people were shot and killed by their own people in the chaos, and in the face of the cavalry of the Taiping army, these Eight Banners did not scatter with a single blow compared to before, but the difference between heaven and earth.Rong Lu looked at the chaotic military camp and finally understood one thing, that is, until the last moment, winning or losing was unknown."
Brothers, cheer up Lao Tzu, today let's let the Taiping army see how powerful we are, even if it is a hard bone, we have to gnaw it down and avenge the dead brother" Rong Lu pulled out his long knife and roared at the sky."
Revenge, revenge, revenge."
The soldiers of the Eight Banners seemed to awaken the wolf nature of the ancestors overnight, and they all raised their foreign guns and roared.The morning sun crossed the sky and jumped out, and the sound of the war drums of the charge echoed outside the east gate of Jurong City again, Rong Lu looked at the city wall coldly, and finally waved the order flag for attack.As soon as Qiao Zhiqing, the Suzhou Mansion Ya, had finished breakfast under Su Sanniang's service, Yan Yuting couldn't wait and went directly into the bedroom and handed the military report in her hand to Qiao Zhiqing."
Brother Qiao, there is a letter from Jurong City, and it was sent by Master Chen Bingwen from Changzhou City."
Yan Yuting touched the fragrant sweat on her head, panting and spitting out again and again.Qiao Zhiqing touched the oiliness on his mouth indiscriminately, took the letterhead and hurriedly reviewed it, and after reading it, he took the case, laughed and picked up Su Sanniang on the side and turned around."
What are you doing, let me down, Yuting is here."
Su Sanniang was frightened and quickly pushed him away, frowning shyly and glaring at him fiercely.Yan Yuting looked at the sweet appearance of the two of them, and her heart was sour, but she didn't show it, she just covered her mouth and chuckled lightly."
Yuting, go to the study, Chen Yucheng's kid finally figured it out."
Qiao Zhiqing embarrassedly grimaced at Su Sanniang, put on his coat and strode out of the door."
Then I'll go out too, Sister Su."
Yan Yuting said hello to Su Sanniang sweetly, and followed Qiao Zhiqing out of the door.Su Sanniang looked at the reckless appearance of the two of them, couldn't help but shake her head with a chuckle, and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table.As soon as Qiao Zhiqing entered the door of the study, he sat down at the desk, picked up the pen and replied to Chen Bingwen, asking him to quickly bring the former division to Jurong City to surrender, and the city could be owned by Ronglu, but the Taiping army in the city must be brought back to Suzhou with a lot of people.If Rong Lu is not convinced, he will shoot and warn him directly, and let him bear the consequences."
Brother Qiao, can you not show affection in front of me in the future, deliberately bullying me."
Yan Yuting entered the study with a bitter face, sat down on the couch, and pouted sadly."
Little girl, send this letter out quickly and come back to tell you good news."
Qiao Zhiqing smiled and pinched her little face, and stuffed the envelope into her jade hand."
Bad guy, you know how to bully me every day, I'll see if you have any good news to tell me later."
Yan Yuting snorted in disbelief, took the envelope and got up and went out
