"Soak the quilt and drape it over your body and rush out of the city" God knows if the men and horses outside the city were stupid by this fire, and instead of sitting and waiting for the people outside the city to come to their rescue, it is better to find a way to rush out of the city.
At the critical juncture, Yang Xiuqing was in a hurry and gave an order loudly.
Hong Yang's Taishou Mansion, where he stayed overnight, had been swallowed up by the sea of fire, so he could only rush into the nearby houses that had not yet caught fire, and grab the bedding with some soldiers.
After being reminded by Yang Xiuqing, many soldiers knew that if they wanted to survive, they had to rely on soaked bedding to save their lives, so they naturally refused to sacrifice it "Kill me" Hong Xiuquan drew a knife and stabbed several soldiers to death, and he was hideous.
Now that it is a matter of life and death, the demeanor of the teacher who was kind and seductive in the past, and the son of the Heavenly Father who helped the world and saved people, has long been thrown out of the clouds.
Hong and Yang's henchmen have been grilled by the fire with dry mouths and chapped skin, and after Hong Xiuquan's orders, they pulled out their knives one after another, and when they saw the Taiping army running around in quilts, they cut down with knives and snatched 100 quilts viciously.
Then he looked for a well, dismantled a few quilts to make well ropes, soaked the quilts thoroughly, then wrapped his body and rushed out of the city.
The fire at Simen was raging, and the flames were so bright that it was difficult to break out of the city even if they were wrapped in a soaked quilt.
Yang Xiuqing was still in a hurry and shouted: "Go to the city wall" More than 100 henchmen immediately surrounded Hong Yang and the others on the city wall, and at this moment, thousands of burned and dizzy Taiping troops had gathered densely on the city wall.
It's just that Luling City is more than five feet high, and the reinforcements downstairs have not yet rushed over, and they can't go down the city wall for a while.
Although there is no burning on the city wall, the entire Luling City has become a sea of fire, like a hot stove, which directly burns the city wall.
When the men stood on the top of the city wall, their skin ached by the fire of the city, their lips were chapped, their eyebrows were curled, and their eyes were full of stars.
In desperation, Hong Xiuquan once again aimed the butcher's knife at the soldiers of the Taiping Army, killed dozens of people in one go, and then took off their clothes, tied them together in a knotted rope, and hung down from the city wall to the ground.
Under the protection of his henchmen, Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing, whose hair and eyebrows were scorched and their cheeks were burned, escaped death and went down the city wall in embarrassment.
His henchmen followed, rope down.
At this moment, the Taiping troops who had not yet been buried in the fire followed suit, either with quilts or with clothes, and rushed to the city wall.
At the critical moment, many people fought against each other, fighting to tie the clothes of the dead into ropes, and then attach them to the city walls, and flee for their lives.
In the middle of the night, in addition to the Taiping soldiers who were burned to death by the fire, there were countless innocent souls who died under the knives of their own families.
It wasn't until the Taiping generals outside the city led their troops to carry ladders to save people that the Taiping troops on the city wall stopped killing each other and fled for their lives.
Seeing the fire in Luling City, Xiao Chaogui, who was stationed in the north of the city, was shocked, and hurriedly led his troops to take pots and pans to get water from the nearby river, and came to the rescue.
And Ao Bai was secretly happy when he saw this scene, as long as Hong Yang was burned to death, only Xiao Chaogui was left riding on top of his head.
If he finds another opportunity to get rid of Xiao Chaogui secretly, wouldn't he just take advantage of the fishermen and become the leader of these hundreds of thousands of people Thinking of this, Ao Bai's heart almost blossomed, and he ordered: "The Han army is cunning, and if you set a trap in Luling this time, you will inevitably make a comeback."
Everyone is on guard and must not move without permission, otherwise, those who violate the order will be broken."
Under the restraint of Aobai, the 50,000 Taiping troops in this large camp stood still, watching the fire in Luling City, smelling the smell of burnt human flesh, and trembling one by one.
Xu Huang and Lin Chong saw the flames of Luling City, and immediately led their troops to turn back and launch a fierce attack on the Taiping army camp, while Lu Xiangsheng also led five thousand hardcover in the tunnel to break through the ground, attacking inside and out, and killing Xiao Chaogui's camp on their backs and making a mess.
Seeing that his camp was in danger, Ao Bai led his troops to rescue Xiao Chaogui, rushed left and right in the chaos of the army, and killed more than 100 Han soldiers in a row, slightly curbing the downward trend of the Taiping army.
Hong Xiuquan escaped from death, lost his troops and broke his generals, heard that the Han army was coming back, immediately raised his sword and mounted his horse, organized tens of thousands of people to bypass Luling City, came to meet Aobai, and attacked the Han army.
Xiao Chaogui is also a fierce general, and at the beginning he was attacked by Xu Huang and Lu Xiangsheng inside and outside, and the killing was chaotic.
At this moment, with the assistance of Hong Xiuquan and Aobai, he quickly stabilized his position, carried a horse lance, and led his troops to fight back.
Although the Han army was fine, but the strength was too small, although the Taiping army was weak, but it was five or six times the Han army, and the two sides fought fiercely all night, hurting each other, and did not lead the troops to retreat until dawn.
The day dawned, and the fire of Luling City had not yet dissipated.
The smell of burnt human flesh is long gone, because it has long since turned into ashes, and naturally there will be no more that disgusting burnt smell.
After a night of burning, the original beautiful Luling City has long been burned black, the city wall has collapsed under the scorching barbecue, and the entire city has become a ruin.
After a night of fierce fighting, more than 50,000 Taiping soldiers who entered Luling City were burned to death, and only more than 20,000 escaped for their lives.
In addition, the Han army was repeatedly rushed and killed, and the Taiping army that died on the battlefield also had more than 20,000 people, and the loss of the Han army was as many as 80,000, and the loss of the Han army did not exceed 5,000.
With a weak force of 40,000 troops, a strong combat force of nearly 300,000, and 300,000 old and weak women and children, the Battle of Luling can be called a classic example of defeating the strong with the weak.
The Luhe River burst its embankment and flooded Chen Yucheng, and 70,000 troops were wiped out; The fire burned Luling, and the 80,000 Taiping army was wiped out.
The old scars have not healed, and new wounds have been added, and the Taiping army is full of grief for a while, and people's hearts are moving.
"Whoever dares to abscond, shoot and kill" Hong Xiuquan, whose eyes were red, was like a wounded beast, roaring loudly and ordering.
On the one hand, he sent envoys to ask Sun Ce for help, and on the other hand, he regrouped outside Luling City and prepared for revenge.
After two consecutive battles, as many as 120,000 Taiping troops died in battle for various reasons, and 40,000 or 50,000 old and weak women and children died in front of the battle, or were dealt with by military law.
However, in just a few days, the Taiping army suffered serious losses, from more than 600,000 to 400,000.
After Hong Xiuquan renegotiated with Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui, and Ao Bai, he gathered all the 160,000 strong and strong, and transferred 40,000 from the old and weak women and children to supplement them, bringing together 200,000 people.
Then it was divided into four divisions, Hong, Yang, Xiao, and Ao each commanded 50,000 people, resting in Luling while paying close attention to the intelligence of the Han army.
When the news of Luling's victory reached Jinling, Liu Wei high-fived and praised, and the ministers praised Xu Huang and Lu Xiangsheng.

Liu Wei loudly preached the edict on the Taiji Palace: "Xu Gongming has all the merits of breaking Hong Xiu, and he really has the style of Zhou Yafu, and he was crowned as the general of Zhennan and given the title of Marquis of Yangyi Pavilion."
Lu Xiangsheng assisted Xu Huang to break the thief, and was crowned General Pingnan, and gave him the title of Marquis of Guannei; Lin Chong rewarded General Zhichong with the title" Just when the ministers praised Xu Huang's exploits, the system in Liu Wei's mind sounded: "Xu Huang led his troops to defeat the strong with the weak, broke through himself, and has surpassed his peak ability, and his command has increased by 3 points, and the current commander value has increased to 95."
"Uh, it's actually possible to increase the ability on the peak value," Liu Wei was surprised.
The system replied in the affirmative: "Normally, no, but if the generals or Wenchen can show a level far beyond their peak ability, the system will re-evaluate."
According to the calculations of the database, Xu Huang's command ability has broken through his peak and risen to a new height. ” Liu Wei's eyes were like torches: "This host understands, maybe this is just the beginning" The envoys of Jinling rushed to Luling with edicts and seals and ribbons to reward Xu Huang's three armies.
Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing integrated the remnants in Luling, rested for about three or four days, and recovered their vitality.
After a long journey of 14 days, Chen Qingzhi and Huang Zhong led the army to forcibly travel more than 1,500 miles, and on the third day of Xu Huang and Lu Xiangsheng's burning of the Luling Tomb, they arrived in Shiyang County and joined forces with Xu Huang.
"Congratulations to General Gongming, the two battles of Luling, flooding, fire attack, breaking the rebels, beheading 150,000, the world shocked the name of the general will definitely go down in history" Chen Qingzhi led Huang Zhong, Pan Zhang and Xu Huang Shili to meet each other and congratulate each other.
Xu Huang returned the salute humbly: "General Chen praised falsely, these two battles can be won by a great victory, not only Xu Huang is the merit, but it is really due to Xiangsheng's strategy, Zhongxun's bravery, and the lives of the three armies."
In addition, the thief army does not understand the art of war, so the thief army is huge, although it is punished by more than 100,000, but it is still several times more than me, and the foundation is still there, which should not be underestimated.
It also needs the assistance of the two generals, Chen and Huang, to expel the thief army from Yangzhou in one go, counterattack Jiaozhou, and completely eradicate the hidden danger of the Southern Barbarians."
"The general's name is shocking to the world, and Qingzhi's wish is to lead the soldiers to be dispatched," Chen Qingzhi said modestly.
Chen Qingzhi's troops were tired from afar, and Xu Huangjun also fought two fierce battles in a row, lacking physical strength.
Xu Huang was not in a hurry to go to battle, ordered the three armies to rest for a few days, and sent envoys to the Taiping army camp to agree to fight three days later.
After receiving Xu Huang's challenge, Hong Xiuquan urgently summoned Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui, and Ao Bai to discuss, "The Han generals are too deceitful, and we will fight to the death in three days, what do you think should be done?"
Ao Bai patted his chest and said: "Our army's two defeats are due to the conspiracy and tricks of the Han army. ” Yang Xiuqing got up and stopped: "The Han army has won consecutive battles, and its morale is booming, but our army has been defeated repeatedly, and the morale of the army is low.
Can not be forced to compete with the Han army, Jingzhou Sun Ce has sent Zhou Yudu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Shamoke and other generals to lead 30,000 troops to leave Changsha out of Guiyang, the starry night to the south to come to the rescue, and make a member of the fierce general known as the vanguard of ten thousand people, according to a certain opinion, it is better to hang up the war card, and after the arrival of the Sun army, and then work together to move forward, and break the Han army together" t1706231537:
