Chapter five hundred and sixty first human tragedy

Shi Dakai shuttled through the streets and alleys of Nanjing City like a monkey. Although there were Taiping soldiers shouting to capture Shi Dakai's demon thieves everywhere on the streets, the complex and numerous houses provided the best cover for Shi Dakai, making it difficult for Taiping soldiers to find the figure of Shi Dakai, let alone effectively track Shi Dakai's travels.

What's even better is that because the population in the city was greatly reduced after the Taiping Army entered Nanjing, there were still many idle houses in Nanjing. As long as the situation was wrong, Shi Dakai, who was quite familiar with the terrain in Nanjing, could hide in an empty house at any time. Even the people in the city were accidentally discovered by the people in the city. So before it was dark, Shi Dakai had already sneaked all the way from Xihuamen Street to near Shuiximen, hid in a private house west of Cang Lane, and hid on the beams very cautiously.

The extremely smart Shi Dakai ran here to hide for the time being, of course, was not aimless. First of all, Cangxiang is not far from Shi Dakai's Yiwang Mansion and Yang Xiuqing's Dongwang Mansion. Although the Yiwang Mansion and the Dongwang Mansion have definitely become the key targets of the Nanjing Taiping Army, due to the darkness under the light, the surrounding areas are not easy to be searched, and it is much safer to hide here temporarily.

Secondly, the second point is more important. The current governor of Nanjing Shu Tianhou, Shu Tianhou, was a former subordinate of Shi Dakai who was left in Nanjing. He always respected Shi Dakai very much. Even after Shi Dakai was abolished from the title of Wing King, he still respected Shi Dakai very much, and was extremely dissatisfied with Hong Xiuquan's harsh humiliation of Shi Dakai. When it was dark, Shi Dakai could escape from Nanjing like in history. Even if he was discovered by the defenders, Li Guchun could quietly let Shi Dakai go.

Shi Dakai certainly knew what impact his escape choice would have on Meng Shiyong, but Shi Dakai had to be sorry for both father and son, who were worthy of Meng Shiyong, because Shi Dakai could never tolerate the insult of being imprisoned. At the same time, Shi Dakai could see that Hong Xiuquan could no longer tolerate him. After entering the Heavenly Prison of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he would definitely die for a lifetime and be executed by the schizophrenia Hong Xiuquan, who was schizophrenia, at any time. Therefore, Shi Dakai had to leave, escape from Nanjing like history, and open up new worlds elsewhere.

Shi Dakai was not very worried about the safety of his old subordinates on Yuhuatai outside the city. In fact, as early as when the title of king was removed, Huang Yukun and Zhang Suimu had already secretly persuaded Shi Dakai to leave Nanjing, and also made it clear that he could pull the team to protect Shi Dakai from leaving at any time. Today, when the female soldiers of the Tianwang Mansion rushed into the Yiwang Mansion to arrest people, Shi Dakai himself was caught off guard and forced to surrender, but Shi Dakai's old subordinates at home and in the city could not fail to send the news to Yuhuatai and notify Huang Zhang and others to prepare. At the same time, even if the news could not be sent out of the city, Shi Dakai believed that with the cleverness of Huang Yukun and Zhang Suimu and others, it would be impossible for him to be easily caught in one go. Even if only one of these people was still in the commander of the army, Liu Fengliang, who was guarding Yuhuatai, would never dare to meet Shi Dakai's old subordinates under the current situation of the great enemy.

To take a step back, even if Huang Yukun, Zhang Suimu and others were unfortunately injured, Shi Dakai still had a way to escape back to the hinterland of Anhui. Don’t think that Shi Da was in a meeting and was worried about the safety of these people’s lives. When Shi Dakai was forced to escape in history, he threw his whole family into Nanjing and massacred all of them.

The sky was finally dark while Shi Dakai's patient waiting. Shi Dakai quietly left the hiding house. With the protection of the night, he passed through the house and crossed the wall. He quietly touched the vicinity of Shuiximen. As Shi Dakai expected, because the city wall in Nanjing was too long, although the torches and lanterns were densely packed in the upper city steps and towers, and lanterns were like stars, there were few lights on other wall sections and few guards. Shi Dakai was not polite. He saw a section of the city wall with the least guards and touched quietly. With his skills trained for many years of martial arts, he climbed to the top of the city wall with empty hands, easily knocked out a nearby guard soldier, stripped off his clothes and put them on, and rushed down the city before the patrol arrived, and successfully escaped from Nanjing.

The Taiping Army soldiers were unable to find Shi Dakai in the city, and when they arrived outside the city, the Taiping Army naturally had no choice but to use Shi Dakai. Shi Dakai easily escaped from the city block under Nanjing with almost no effort, and ran to Yuhuatai under the cover of the night. As a result, Shi Dakai was overjoyed that when he arrived near Yuhuatai Camp, although there was no gunfire in the Yuhuatai Camp, there was a bright light inside and outside. It was obvious that Shi Dakai's old subordinate had some preparations. Shi Dakai did not hesitate anymore, and hid forward and carefully looked for his old subordinate soldiers.

Unfortunately, because the number of troops is at an absolute disadvantage, the soldiers of the Nanjing Taiping Army patrols were all soldiers of the Nanjing Taiping Army. Even if they were not seen in a blue-edged military uniform, it would be difficult for Shi Dakai to get close to Yuhuatai Camp, let alone, he could touch the Yuhuatai Camp without knowing it. However, just when Shi Dakai was anxious, a sudden change occurred, and gunfire suddenly broke out in the Yuhuatai Camp, and torches were chaotic, and a large-scale internal strife broke out.

The enemy is still in conflict. In the past, Shi Dakai had to sweat a lot without being furious and cursing, but this time it was different. Seeing the internal fire of Taiping Army, Shi Dakai not only did not have any anger and anxiety, but instead quietly called out God to help me, trying to hide myself in a dark secret place and patiently wait for the direction of his own army to break through.

The remnants of the Yiwang Army, who were cut by Shi Da, quickly chose to break through the siege, and fled to the southeast direction of Jiagang Gate on the outer gate of Nanjing, which was not intercepted by Wu Jun. Shi Dakai did not hesitate and immediately chased his old subordinates, and successfully approached his army in the chaos, shouting loudly to show his identity, "I am the Yiwang Baqiansu, don't shoot! I am the Yiwang Baqiansu!"

"The Winged Tortoise is eight thousand years old! It's the Winged Tortoise is eight thousand years old! The Winged Tortoise is back!"

Shi Dakai's successful return caused the remnants of the Yiwang Army to burst into great cheers. Then, soon, Shi Dakai met his father-in-law Huang Yukun, surrounded by soldiers, and the capable counselor Zhang Suimu and Cao Wohu and others. When the father-in-law and son-in-law met, they hugged their heads and cried. Shi Dakai asked about the incident with tears again. Only then did he learn that the Taiping Army's Yuhuatai Guardian Liu Fengliang did try to trap Huang Yukun and others. Fortunately, the counselor Cao Wohu was suspicious of Liu Fengliang's banquet for all the leaders of the Yiwang Army. At the same time, the scout of the Yiwang Army discovered the martial law in Nanjing in time. Huang Yukun and others quietly put the army on alert while making excuses to reject Liu Fengliang's invitation.

"The bastard named Liu later showed me a card and said that it was the Wing King that you had committed a crime and had been taken down by the Heavenly King. Only when we put down all our weapons can you keep your Wing King from 8,000 years old." Huang Yukun hurriedly introduced: "Mr. Zhang and Mr. Cao gave me an idea to let me see you put down your weapons. Liu Fengliang dared not agree and exposed the stuff. Later, we found that there was any movement in the army on Shangxinhe, so we had to break through quickly."

"Winged King Eight Thousand Years, we did not take action regardless of your life or death. We did it to save you." Huang Yukun quickly added: "Mr. Zhang and Mr. Cao both said that only by protecting our army, Long Live the King of Heaven will never dare to touch you casually. There will be hopes of forcing him to let go in the future. I think it makes sense, so I took action decisively."

"I understand, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Cao are right. Father-in-law, you can only save the army and have hope of saving me. Even if I am really caught by the King of Heaven, he will not dare to touch me casually."

Shi Dakai nodded, very understanding the correct choice of Huang Yukun and others. Then Shi Dakai quickly asked Zhang Suimu and Cao Wohu: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Cao, what should we do next?"

"We should go to Lishui first." Zhang Suimu said quickly: "It is of course best to be able to go to the city to rest and recuperate. Even if we cannot enter the city, there are many people in that area, so it is more convenient for us to replenish food. We will get food first, and then we will go to Huizhou, Ningguo. The demon soldiers are fighting Tianjing and they still don't care about those places. The Heavenly Kingdom army there was time for the King of Heaven. It is easy for us to gain food when we get there, and then we will find a way to go back to Anhui."

When Shi Dakai heard this, he nodded in agreement immediately, and immediately ordered to raise his Wing King banner again, take over the command and run wildly towards the Jiagang Gate. The Nanjing Taiping Army behind him chased him reluctantly, and the slogans of killing all the dogs and traitors spread one after another, and the sounds spread for ten miles.

The outer capital of Nanjing, which almost caused Wu Chaoyue's entire army to be wiped out, soon appeared in front of the remnants of the Yiwang Army. As Shi Dakai expected, there were indeed few torches in the dilapidated and old Jiagangmen area, and there were no troops stationed. Shi Dakai was eager to get rid of the pursuit of friendly troops and did not organize an assault team to attack Kailuo, and led the army to run wildly under the Jiagangmen. However, just as the front team was about to rush through the Jiagangmen, gunfire suddenly sounded loudly from the Jiagangmen gate, bullets were hit like hail and raindrops, and two mountain-slashing cannons exploded. The soldiers of the Yiwang Army, who were charging at a big stairs, were caught off guard and were killed and injured by guns and cannons. They fell to the ground. The miserable and panic shouts also soared into the sky in front of the formation, "There is an ambush! There is an ambush in front!"

"How could there be an ambush?" Shi Dakai was startled first, then suddenly woke up and shouted inwardly: "Oh no! Why did I forget the garrison at Shangfangqiao? My father-in-law and the others confronted Liu Fengliang for so long. It is impossible for the garrison at Shangfangqiao to be divided into troops to help guard the Jiagang Gate!"

It was useless to quickly understand the origin of the ambush. In order to survive, Shi Dakai could only organize an assault team to break through with force, and the Nanjing Taiping Army guarding the Jiagang Gate gritted its teeth and persevered, using the favorable terrain that was seized in advance to attack the soldiers of the Wing Wang Army with various muskets. The guns were coming and going, and both sides continued to suffer casualties, but the dead were all loyal and brave Taiping Army soldiers.

After the Yiwang Army was accidentally blocked by friendly troops on the bridge above the Jiagang Gate, the pursuers led by Liu Fengliang himself had already chased him near Jiagang Gate, shouting loudly to kill all the traitors under the imperial edict of the Heavenly King, and commanding the army to quickly surround the Yiwang Army on three sides. Shi Dakai had no choice but to command the remaining troops to line up the hollow square formation from the Wu army to defend the enemy. While fighting to the death to resist Liu Fengliang's attack, he fought desperately to attack Jiagang Gate and seize the escape road. The scale of internal strife and fire in the Jiagang Gate area has been further expanded, and more Taiping soldiers were killed and injured, and Shi Dakai also roared in grief and anger...

"Liu Fengliang, you are a bitch! The demon soldiers are at Dasheng Pass. You still bring so many troops to chase me. Do you think the demon soldiers have not picked up enough of our heavenly kingdom?!"

Unfortunately, after being spoken by Shi Dakai, he found out that the Taiping Army suddenly had a frustration and frustration outside the city, Feng Sanbao, Li Hezhang and others didn't know that they would be foolish to send troops to pick up the cheap. As soon as they received the news, Feng Sanbao immediately ordered the army to gather and prepare for war. After confirming that the Taiping Army was in the area of ​​Jiagangmen, Feng Sanbao and Li Hezhang, who knew the content of the false letter, immediately understood that Wu Chaoyue's poisonous plan had been successful and decisively sent troops north. However, Feng Sanbao listened to Li Hezhang's suggestion and did not choose to directly kill to Jiagangmen to participate in the war, but went directly to attack the Yuhuatai Camp of the Taiping Army, which had been severely damaged by the Yiwang Army.

The news that the Wu army launched a large-scale move at night was soon sent to the Taiping Army camp outside the city, and to Liu Fengliang, who was besieging Shi Dakai. In response to this change, the other camps of the Taiping Army chose to close the camp and protect themselves, preventing the Wu army from coming to take advantage of the situation. Liu Fengliang made the choice to step up the siege of Shi Dakai, determined to kill Shi Dakai before the Wu army arrived at Jiagang Gate and complete the imperial edict assigned by Hong Xiuquan. At the same time, after confirming the direction of the Yiwang Army's breakthrough, the Taiping Army in the Shangqiao Camp had also increased its troops again, which not only completely shattered the hope of the Yiwang Army's organization and breaking through, but also completely approached the remnants of the Yiwang Army.

In the bloody storm, when the enemy was close, the Nanjing Taiping Army completely ignored the threat of the Wu army and kept rushing to the positions of the remnants of the Yiwang Army. In order to survive, the remnants of the Yiwang Army, led by Shi Dakai and Huang Yukun could only shoot back desperately, swinging swords and slashing the friendly soldiers who rushed to the front. People shouted and horses neighed, and the gunshots continued, and blood and flesh splattered, all the blood of the Taiping Army soldiers. Death was the most precious loyal soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at present. The tragedy of the human world where flesh and flesh were slaughtered.

The tenacious remnants of the Yiwang Army continued until the Taiping Army scout confirmed that the Wu army's target was Yuhuatai Camp. Unfortunately, after learning the news, Liu Fengliang, the guard of Yuhuatai Camp, made the choice to continue to annihilate the Yiwang Army and shouted: "The fortifications of the Yuhuatai Camp have been broken by traitors, and they can't defend them even when they go back. Kill me! Kill all these traitors and avenge our Yuhuatai Camp!"

Liu Fengliang's army's offensive became more and more fierce. The remnants of the Yiwang Army, which had only more than one thousand people and was mostly wounded, were fighting fewer and fewer. More and more loyal and brave soldiers were killed. Finally, under the impact of a team of the most elite Guangxi veterans, the phalanx of the Yiwang Army was broken out of a gap. Guangxi veterans rushed into the phalanx and waved their swords to directly kill Shi Dakai's phalanx. The remaining few Shi Dakai's personal soldiers resisted to death. Shi Dakai also took the sword to fight and slashed the Guangxi veterans who rushed towards him, but they still could not change the battlefield trend. The phalanx of the Yiwang Army, which had long been shaky, quickly collapsed at an astonishing speed. The Nanjing Taiping Army, which had an absolute advantage in troops, completely submerged the remnants of the Yiwang Army, which had only a few hundred people...

Huang Yukun, a private school teacher, was first killed in battle and was shot into the eyes by a bullet. Zhang Suimue, who was born with myopia, was lost in his glasses and could not see the surrounding situation. He was knocked over by his own soldiers, and then was trampled into meat sauce by the two armies. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Cao Wohu gave up resisting, closed his eyes and let the enemy on his opposite side chop off his head...

When the Wu army soldiers rushed into the Yuhuatai camp of the Taiping Army from the gap that broke out from the remnants of the Yiwang Army, Shi Dakai, surrounded by the soldiers of the Nanjing Taiping Army, also desperately put the flesh-stained and gap-spreading waist knife on his neck, cut it heavily, and blood suddenly poured out like a fountain...
