Qujiang South Gate.
The potter stood on the top of the city, looking down on the rivers and mountains of Jiaozhou, and his heart was full of emotion.
In the past ten years of crusade and westward discussion, the pottery merchant can be said to have stepped on every inch of the rivers and mountains of the Great Wei and personally laid down every inch of the land of the Great Wei.
Jiaozhou is the only exception.
Because Jiaozhou is located in a remote area, the strategic location did not pose much threat in those years, so after the pottery merchants destroyed Chu, they only sent Wei Yan and Gan Ning, two generals, led less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and captured this extreme southern state.
Therefore, although Jiaozhou has been included in the territory of the Great Wei Dynasty for many years, this is the first time in the life of a potter merchant who has set foot on the land of Jiaozhou.
"It seems that only the land conquered by me personally can be regarded as a stable inclusion in the territory of the Great Wei" Looking down at the mountains and rivers, the potter sighed in his heart.
At this time, Mu Guiying stood behind him and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, if Yang Xiuqing leads the army to escape, it must be to flee west to Bushan City, in order to prevent our army from advancing westward to Jiaozhi, please lead a vanguard army to pursue." ” "Your Majesty, the minister is also willing to lead the iron cavalry to pursue the Yang thief."
Ma Chao was not to be outdone.
The potter didn't turn around, and shouted with his hands: "Mu Guiying and Ma Chao listen to the order." ” Mu Guiying and Ma Chao were in high spirits, and immediately knelt down to listen to the order.
The potter raised his hand to guide the face from afar, and said sharply: "I order you two to lead the 30,000-foot cavalry vanguard, and pursue south in the starry night, and be sure to surround and annihilate Yang Xiuqing with Deng Ai's one fell swoop outside Panyu City."
Outside the city of Panyu As soon as he made this will, the two generals were stunned.
Mu Guiying said suspiciously: "Your Majesty is saying that Yang Xiuqing will not retreat to Bushan City, but will attack Panyu."
"Exactly."
Tao Shang sneered, "Yang Xiuqing is extremely conceited, now he has lost the entire Nanhai County, if he just flees to Bushan, he will definitely fall into the valley with his prestige, lose the hearts of the Taiping thieves, and even be liquidated by Hong Xiuquan, do you think he will do nothing, just flee to Bushan in such a gloomy way?"
Mu Guiying suddenly realized, and a trace of excitement burst out of her eyes, "Your Majesty means that Yang Xiuqing is afraid of being liquidated by Hong Xiuquan, and because of his extreme conceit, he wants to use 40,000 soldiers and horses to forcibly recapture Panyu, destroy General Deng's 10,000 soldiers and horses, and return to Bushan with a victory to protect his prestige." ” The potter nodded and sneered: "Since Yang Xiuqing wants to kill himself, how can I not fulfill him, since you have understood what I mean, what are you waiting for." ” Mu Guiying and Ma Chao, who suddenly realized, had no doubts at the moment, surrendered their hands and retreated, led 30,000 paces to ride, and immediately went south from Qujiang Pass to Panyu.
On the road to the south, Yang Xiuqing led his only remaining 40,000 Taiping troops, and marched south in the starry night, killing towards Panyu City with great momentum.
Five days later, Yang Xiuqing led an army of 40,000 and finally killed to the north of Panyu.
At this time, he only had three days of military rations left in his hands, that is, he must capture Panyu within three days.
Yang Xiuqing did not dare to hesitate, the army forced the city to be completed, and as soon as the afternoon passed, he led the army to pour out of the nest and approached the north gate of Panyu.
At the head of the north gate, Deng Ai is wearing armor and holding a gun, and his young figure stands proudly on the city tower.
His eyes were as cold as ice, and he looked down coldly at the Taiping Army formation in front of the city, and there was no trace of fear in his eyes.
I saw that in the field of vision, the enemy's large and small military formations were lined up, like dark clouds pressing down on the ground, and the darkness was endless and the momentum was monstrous.
The holy flag with the word "Yang" fluttered arrogantly in the wind, as if it was showing off its might to him.
Looking at the enemy's formation, the corners of Deng Ai's mouth raised a cold and sarcastic sneer, and he muttered: "Yang Xiuqing, I didn't expect you to flee to Bushan, you actually wanted to come and rob Panyu, how much do you look down on me Deng Ai, very good, you came just right."
Deng Ai subconsciously clenched the silver gun in his hand, his young face burned with hunting pride, and his eyes surged with confidence and murderous intent.
He didn't have a trace of jealousy, and even became more and more excited.
He originally thought that the success of the surprise attack on Panyu had made a great contribution and made him famous all over the world.
Unexpectedly, Yang Xiuqing was so unwilling, he personally led the army to kill him, and gave him another great achievement.
Deng Ai, who is eager to make meritorious contributions, can not be excited.
North of the city, hundreds of steps away.
Under the holy flag of the word "Yang", Yang Xiuqing's face was gloomy as iron, he secretly gritted his teeth, and his eyes burned with deep hatred.
He looked at the banner with the word "Deng", his heart was full of anger, and he couldn't wait to break through Panyu immediately, and break the nameless boy who humiliated him into thousands of pieces to vent the hatred in his heart.
Although Yang Xiuqing hated Deng Ai deeply, there was still a little surprise in his angry eyes.
He was surprised to find that the morale of the Wei army in Panyu City was high, and the military spirit was strict and orderly, and there was no anxiety at all, as if they had the belief that they would win, waiting for him to attack. can raise the morale of the army to such an extent, which makes Yang Xiuqing begin to secretly feel that this Deng Ai is not simple, and the success of the surprise attack on Panyu may not be all a fluke.
He had a hunch that today's siege battle would not be so easy.
It's just that Yang Xiuqing has no other choice, the army has come to the city, and the arrow is ready to be sent.
If he doesn't take Panyu City and doesn't kill Deng Ai, if he flees to Bushan City like this, his prestige as the king of the east will be swept away.
Even, the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, who had long looked at him unpleasantly, might even take the opportunity to fall into the well and kill him.
Today, he must capture Panyu.
After taking a deep breath, Yang Xiuqing slowly pulled out the sword on his waist, pointed at Panyu City, and shouted: "Soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven, fight for the Kingdom of Heaven, fight for the King of Heaven, attack the whole line for this king, and set foot on Panyu."
Woooooooo In the Taiping army, the sound of the horn of slaughter rose to the sky, changing the color of the wind and clouds.
"Fighting for Heaven" "Fight for the King" The 40,000 holy soldiers of the Taiping Army fell back into a state of frenzy, like a beast driven to a dead end, and let out a crazy roar.
The order was issued, and Xing Daorong, who commanded the front army, immediately waved his army up, urging nearly 20,000 Taiping troops to form more than 30 attack formations, large and small, and approached the north gate of Panyu with earth-shaking steps.
The Taiping army in the front row, each holding a thick shield more than half a person high, formed a solid shield wall, like a moving Great Wall, slowly advancing.

Behind the shield wall, there are dozens of moats, nearly 100 ladders, and rushing cars.
The sound of the horn of slaughter echoed in the ears, and the enemy army in front of the city was getting closer and closer, and the battle was just around the corner.
At the head of the city, Deng Ai's eyes were like blades, staring at the approaching Ciping Army, with a heroic and young face, without a trace of wavering, only the confidence of hunting like fire.
Under the gaze, the Taiping army slowly advanced, and soon advanced more than 170 steps.
This distance has entered the effective range of the bow and crossbow.
Taking a deep breath, Deng Ai raised the big gun in his hand and shouted: "The crossbowman releases the arrow and shoots the traitor."
In the sky above the city tower, the flag waved, and more than a thousand people had already pulled up their bowstrings, aiming at the enemy's long-standing crossbowmen, and the fingertips should be released.
Whoosh The sound of breaking the sky suddenly rose, and in an instant, thousands of sharp arrows shot out like raindrops, carrying the hunting machine, like the blade of death to the enemy under the city.
"The whole army, avoid the arrows" Xing Daorong immediately shouted.
When the order was passed, the shield bearers in the front row immediately raised the big shield in their hands high and protected it in front of them.
In the next second, arrows as dense as flying locusts poured out overwhelmingly, bombarding the enemy's shield array, but most of them were bounced away by the thick shield.
Deng Ai frowned secretly, knowing that although Yang Xiuqing was in a hurry, he had already prepared and cooperated with the big shield.
At this point, he did not have the slightest worry, and remained as calm as a mountain, ordering the crossbowmen to release arrows as much as possible to delay the advance of the enemy army.
In front of the city, the Taiping army was advancing against the rain of arrows, and the thick shield was enough to resist the rain of arrows, covering the slow advance of the besieging soldiers and horses.
After paying less than 100 dead and wounded, the Taiping army finally approached in front of the moat.
Xing Daorong didn't hesitate for a moment, while dancing with a knife and pulling a rain of knives and arrows, he shouted: "Trench team, press on Ben General" When the order was passed, the originally densely packed shield array immediately cracked dozens of openings, and the Taiping soldiers hiding inside immediately pushed the trench bridge and rushed out and erected it on a moat several zhang wide.
As soon as the shield array cracked, the flaws would inevitably appear, and in this moment, the sharp arrows of the Wei army were concentrated towards the gap, and hundreds of enemy soldiers were shot to the ground in an instant.
The fanatical Taiping army, without a trace of fear, braved the rain of arrows, and forgot to die desperately to build bridges.
Yang Xiuqing, who was watching the battle, watched his army being shot hundreds of times, but his face was expressionless, without a trace of distress, only as cold as iron.
Finally, after more than 2,000 dead and wounded, the trench bridge was finally erected, and the road to the city wall was unimpeded.
Xing Daorong's eyes were spitting fire, and he shouted: "Siege team, rush over, fight for the kingdom of heaven, kill" The sound of killing in the Taiping army rose like beasts, and 20,000 male and female holy soldiers rushed across the trench bridge like a tide, pushing the rushing cart and carrying the ladder, until they reached the north gate along the city line.
Seeing the Taiping army approaching like a mad group of beasts, the soldiers of the Wei army at the head of the city were also tense, and their faces were lit with a decisive fighting spirit.
They know how fanatical the Taiping army is, how unafraid of death is, just like a beast without humanity, they know that a terrible battle is close at hand.
But no one was afraid.
At this moment, these most elite daredevils of Great Wei only have one belief: Fight to the death for the emperor of Great Wei The young Deng Ai was not even more nervous, but laughed out loud and roared: "Come on, Yang Xiuqing, take out all your skills, today I Deng Ai will use your blood to add another miracle to me" 10,000 soldiers of the Wei army are as resolute as iron, and they regard death as home.
At this time, the crossbowmen of the Taiping army also reached the firing range, and more than 3,000 crossbowmen began to shoot arrows upwards towards the city.
The number of crossbowmen of the Taiping army was three times that of the Wei army, and in a blink of an eye, the Wei army was suppressed by the rain of arrows, and the siege team of his own army won the gap in the siege.
Tens of thousands of siege teams took advantage of this opportunity to rush to the city wall, holding high the big shield to prevent the flying stones from hitting, and at the same time roaring hundreds of cloud ladders and trees, and leaned on the city wall more than 100 steps long.
Xing Daorong under the city, pointed at the big knife in his hand, and shouted wildly: "The whole army has landed in the city, the king of the east has an order, and those who kill Deng Ai will be rewarded heavily."
Under the heavy reward, the already fanatical Taiping Army, even more disregarding life and death, like swarming ants, frantically climbed the ladder and climbed wildly towards the head of Panyu City.
A fierce offensive and defensive battle began.
