"My lord, what should I do?"
Seeing the collapse of the Chinese army and the right wing, and the Manchurian cavalry fleeing in embarrassment, the generals of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Gansu Green Battalion under Daniel Zhang were all frightened, and one by one it was as if the end had come.
Daniel Zhang gritted his teeth and was silent, he was unwilling and unconvinced, but there was no way to redeem this big defeat.
Daniel Zhang's general banner was still flying high, which attracted many Qing army routs, but also caused more and more Taiping troops to gather in this direction.
There is a bright light on the gambling table, talking about the guy who keeps losing, and others bet against him, and the package wins and does not lose.
Daniel Zhang is now a beacon on the battlefield, and his commander's flag is a beacon, attracting the rout and the enemy.
Yu Shizhong thought that the commander intended to recruit Daniel Zhang, and specially led the guards to prepare to persuade Daniel Zhang to surrender.
However, finding that Daniel Zhang was still trying to gather the remnants of the army to stabilize his position, Yu Shizhong did not hesitate to order the entire army of the fifth and fourth towns to press, not giving Daniel Zhang any respite or giving him any hope.
The Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion was indeed the strongest in the Green Battalion, although there were only more than 1,000 remnants left, but under the continuous impact of the Taiping Army, it actually stabilized the defensive line.
But the Shaanxi-Gansu-Green Battalion was too few, and in the face of the Taiping Army, which was several times its size, and in the face of the overall defeat, their persistence was exchanged for the more and more ferocious impact of the Taiping Army.
Yu Shizhong personally commanded the fifth and fourth towns to launch a siege on Daniel Zhang's troops, and under the repeated attacks, Daniel Zhang's Shaanxi and Gansu battalions fought fewer and fewer, and those Guangxi battalions were even fewer.
Daniel Zhang could not help but face up to the fact that he no longer had many soldiers, and after discovering that a cavalry of the Taiping Army was also moving towards his side, Daniel Zhang immediately made a decision, cut off his own general flag with a knife, and then shouted to his subordinates: "Run" Under the stunned eyes of his subordinates, Daniel Zhang pulled his horse's head and fled to the rear, so fast that his own soldiers did not react.
"Run" It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, this knot can't allow these officers of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion to think about anything more, the Admiral will fall the flag, and if you want to live, it depends on whether they can run fast enough.
The remnants of Shaanxi and Gansu, who had always insisted, finally collapsed in an instant at the moment when the flag fell.
At the moment when Daniel Zhang brought the flag down, Wang Youxi, the general of the fourth town, laughed, and then gave an order, and the Taiping soldiers of the fourth and fifth towns rushed towards Daniel Zhang's troops like a tide, like an unstoppable torrent rushing towards the Shaanxi and Gansu battalions.
Daniel Zhang ran too fast, and the flag fell too suddenly, and after Lord Admiral ran away, the Shaanxi and Gansu battalions found that they had been abandoned.
Most of the Shaanxi and Gansu battalions had been fighting with the Taiping army in person, so that they couldn't run if they wanted to.
The flag represents the heart of the army, and without the spirit of the army, no matter how capable the soldiers and horses are, they are just helping the rabble.
The Shaanxi and Gansu battalions, who had lost their command and backbone, could no longer muster up the courage to resist, and surrendered one after another in a mess.
More than 200 cavalry of the Taiping Army rushed over and waved their sabers at the Shaanxi-Gansu-Green battalion that refused to surrender.
As soon as the flag fell, the last breath of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion was gone, and those Shaanxi-Gansu battalion soldiers who refused to surrender just wanted to flee for their lives.
After Yu Shizhong arrived, he ignored the battalion soldiers who were abandoned by Daniel Zhang, and directly ordered his own personal guards to chase after Daniel Zhang, who was desperately retreating.
Under the advance of the Taiping army, Daniel Zhang's Qing army either surrendered or was killed.
In the face of the wolf-like Taiping army, those Qing troops who ran wildly had only one thought, which was to escape.
The cavalry took advantage of the momentum, drove away the defeated soldiers, and magnified the panic infinitely, so that the Qing soldiers had no time to think about anything else except to flee.
How could a two-legged Qing soldier outrun a four-legged cavalry, but for those Qing troops who were fleeing, they only had to run faster than those behind.
Even Daniel Zhang himself is now thinking of this idea, and he accepted his fate the moment he drew his sword to cut off the flag.
And at that moment, it was destined that Daniel Zhang's subordinates who were still persisting became his lifesaver, as long as he ran faster than his subordinates Daniel Zhang was not a woman at all, and in order to escape, he abandoned everyone.
However, he did not escape in the end.
Daniel Zhang was chased by a group of Taiping cavalry, in order to escape, Daniel Zhang lay on the ground and pretended to be dead in the chaos while people were not paying attention, thinking that the pursuers would directly cross him, but who would have thought that those pursuers took knives to mend every corpse of Qing soldiers who passed by.
When the Taiping soldiers who were mending the knife came to his side, Daniel Zhang got up from the ground and shouted: "Don't kill me, I am Daniel Zhang, the commander of the left standard of the Great Qing Dynasty, I am willing to surrender" Daniel Zhang descended like this, and when the news reached Yu Shizhong's ears, he still couldn't believe that the two Qing generals who were personally valued by the marshal were so unbearable However, the facts cannot be changed, and Daniel Zhang has indeed fallen.
Daniel Zhang descended cleanly, and the first thing he said after seeing Yu Shizhong was: "I am willing to go down to the river pool for the general" Daniel Zhang pretended to be dead and could not escape the fate of being captured, but Luo Tuo was much luckier than him.
Ma Harrier Wang Fuchen chased him all the way, but let him escape.
However, Luo Tuo, who finally escaped alive, did not expect that those green battalion soldiers in Hechizhou City would turn against the water.
With the green battalion soldiers of Hecheng and the young and strong people of Guizhou in the city, it was Shi Tian, the chief soldier who Luo Tuo had beaten.
Shi Tian did not march to Qingyuan with the army, but stayed in Hechi to preside over the defense. said that he was in charge of the defense of Hechi, but in fact, there were few soldiers under Shi Tian, and most of the people left in the city were young and strong people from Guizhou.
In the rear, Shi Tian was extremely concerned about the battle on the front line.
He sent several groups of men and horses to the front line to investigate, and the last group of men and horses sent brought him the news of the crushing defeat of the army, so Shi Tian decided to turn back without any hesitation.
When Luo Tuo ran to the city with a few cronies Goshha, Shi Tianyuan wanted to trick the other party into the city and arrest him, and use Luo Tuo as a stepping stone for himself to join the Taiping Army, and he was promoted to the throne.
Now, Shi Tian didn't need to hide anything, so he directly ordered someone to shoot arrows at Luo Tuo and them.
Hearing Shi Tian's order, his direct cronies naturally released the arrows without saying a word, but the unaware battalion soldiers didn't understand what was going on.
After all, there were Manchurian soldiers outside the city, and the fear of the Manchurian soldiers in their hearts made them tremble when they released their arrows.
Roto sensed that something was wrong in the city, but it was too late.
A random stream of arrows came at the top of the city, and he couldn't stop it.
Lotto's death was not worth it, and a battalion soldier who was not a sharpshooter at all shot him like a dead mouse.

After Lotto's death, Shi Tian personally surrendered to the Taiping army with his body.
At this point, the war in Guangxi, which lasted for nearly two months, finally ended, and Yu Shizhong also breathed a sigh of relief after confirming Luo Tuo's body, and immediately ordered someone to send an official report to Guangdong.
In this battle, 48 generals and colonels of the Qing army were killed, 2,502 Manchurian soldiers, 2,350 Mongol soldiers, more than 3,870 Han troops, and 7,420 Green Battalion soldiers were killed. 39 Qing generals were captured, and more than 9 soldiers were captured.
