As a backbone of the Hongmen branch of the Tiandihui Society, he was able to lurk with Wu Jianchang as the leader of the gang for many years without being discovered. During this period, he also gained Wu Jianchang's full trust. Liu Lichuan certainly has his uniqueness in his acting skills.

When he entered Jiangyin, Liu Lichuan looked like a shameless appearance. His oily braids were fluffy and dirty, his toes were hung one by one by one by one by thorns, his nailed shoes were worn out, his toes were exposed, and his face and hands were still wounds. He seemed to have suffered a lot of hardships and never hid outside to enjoy his happiness.

At the same time, Liu Lichuan's experience of escaping was basically without any flaws. He jumped into the river before being surrounded by Taiping Army and fled to the south bank of the Yangtze River by water. The Taiping Army was strictly inspected and did not dare to show up. He hid in the reed marsh and ate raw fish for a few days. After finally escaping back to Jiangyin, Yang Wending, the resident of Taiping Prefecture, had already fled back to Jiangyin. He was forced to take the land back to Jiangyin by revolvers on the road. He robbed several passers-by with a meal and a meal. He worked hard to escape back to Jiangyin, but he caught the Taiping Army's besiege and fled to Shenpu for another two days. He wanted to escape directly back to Shanghai, but he heard that Wu Chaoyue, his eldest nephew, personally led his army to Jiangyin, so Liu Lichuan took the risk of touching the city of Jiangyin and entered the city by chance.

Wu Chaoyue, who was suspicious by nature, certainly would not believe Liu Lichuan's tricks, but repeatedly asked the details without finding any flaws. Because Lin Afu and other remnants of the Liu family army pleaded for Liu Lichuan, and finally, Liu Lichuan had indeed sold a lot of strength to the old Wu family before, Wu Chaoyue, who had a poor history, finally nodded and agreed to let Liu Lichuan return to his command. Liu Lichuan was overjoyed and thanked him, and then quickly took the initiative to say: "Nephew, don't worry, Zhenjiang was underestimated by the enemy that time, and I fell into the trap of Changmao before I was defeated. I won't know next time, I will learn from Uncle Shi next time, and I will be careful and careful when I advance to the army, and get back the battlefield in Zhenjiang, and take back the bandit leader Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing to ask for credit for you."

"No next time." Wu Chaoyue said frankly: "You don't have to go to the battlefield in the future. Dongjiadu group training has been disbanded by me. If you and Lian Yong under your command are willing to continue to join the army, I will arrange for you to join other group training. If you don't want to, go back to Shanghai to continue your double sword meeting."

"Dissolved?" Liu Lichuan's face changed and he asked in surprise: "Nephew, I just accidentally defeated a battle. Do you want to disband the Dongjiadu group training?"

"Uncle Yuan, don't blame me. I did this for your own good." Wu Chaoyue said more directly: "You are not a material for war. There are bullets on the battlefield, which is also very dangerous for you. It is better for you to continue to be a gang member."

After saying that, Wu Chaoyue added, "By the way, I almost forgot that you have a seventh-grade top-notch. For the sake of the family friendship between our two families, I will find a way to help you maintain your official position and will also find a way to get you a real position. Is this worthy of you?"

If it were the past, Wu Chaoyue promised to get a seventh-rank position for Liu Lichuan, Liu Lichuan would have been overjoyed and thanked him very much. But now, even if Wu Chaoyue promised to get a county magistrate for Liu Lichuan, Liu Lichuan, who was in control of the Taiping Army, would not be happy. He quickly asked Wu Chaoyue to reconsider it, but unfortunately Wu Chaoyue thought it wasting time with Liu Lichuan, and urged Liu Lichuan to leave in a few words. Liu Lichuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and leave with Lin Afu's old subordinates first. At the same time, Liu Lichuan kept thinking in his heart, "Wu Chaoyue is so ruthless and unrighteous. Did I really open the Jiangyin gate and put the Taiping Army in?"

What Liu Lichuan probably never dreamed of was that even if he wanted to surrender to Xiancheng, there would be no time. On the same day he entered Jiangyin City, and the second day after the Taiping Army's tunnel defeat, Wu Chaoyue had already made up his mind and decided to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight the Taiping Army, and strive to fight Lin Fengxiang and Wu Ruxiao away, and completely crush the Taiping Army's siege of Jiangyin. In response, Yang Wending, Tai Wenying and others cautiously raised objections and urged Wu Chaoyue not to take this risk. Wu Chaoyue shut up with just one sentence, "Don't go out of the city to fight to the decisive battle? Okay, but the food in the city is only enough for half a month, so I will take the delegation to Changzhou to escort the grain, and Jiangyin City will ask you for the time being."

Yang Wending, who was afraid of death, and Tai Wenying and other civil and military officials in the Qing Dynasty were easy to deal with. What really worried Wu Chaoyue was the issue of luring the army. In the decisive battle, Wu Chaoyue had to send a battalion of Wu troops to train as the luring army, and use a carbine and bayonet to take the Taiping army head-on, luring the Taiping army to dispatch the main force to eat the Wu army battalion. During this period, this battalion naturally had to bear the heaviest pressure and pay the most heavy casualties. No matter which battalion was sent to take on this task, Wu Chaoyue was not sure and could not bear it.

As a last resort, Wu Chaoyue could only call all four battalions under his command and tell them the tactical plan directly, which also made the four battalions, Huang Dasha, Meng Hun, Wang Chuan and Cao Yanzhong volunteer to take on this dangerous task. What made Wu Chaoyue very pleased was that the four battalions, including Meng Hun, the artillery battalion officer, bowed without hesitation and asked for the execution of this difficult task. They were all extremely determined, and they fought for who could perform this task.

Finally, Wu Chaoyue handed over this task to Huang Dasha, the old whistleman who participated in the Jiangning War throughout the whole process. The other three battalions were disappointed, but Huang Dasha smiled happily and clasped his fists and promised loudly: "Please rest assured, no matter how hard or difficult this battle is, the last general will definitely draw the main force of long-haired power out to you!"

Wu Chaoyue nodded, helped Huang Dasha with his own hands, patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "Come back alive, you must come back alive!"

Hearing this, Huang Dasha, who was too honest, didn't say much, but his eyes immediately turned red.

…………

After careful and meticulous preparation, at around 11:00 the next morning, the east gate of Jiangyin, which had been closed for many days, suddenly opened. More than a hundred Green Camp soldiers, led by Li Tianchao, walked out of Jiangyin City first, and then the five hundred Wu troops led by Huang Dasha, lined up with the Green Camp soldiers to drive towards the main camp of the Taiping Army at the foot of Xiangshan. The Taiping Army scout reported the situation to Lin Fengxiang. Because he could not understand the purpose and intention of the Qing army, Lin Fengxiang did not rush to order the troops to fight, but ordered the troops to stick to the camp fortifications and wait for the next move of the Qing army.

Not to mention, the Jiangyin Green Camp soldiers have ordinary skills in fighting. They may be frightened to pee when they hear gunshots, but they are good at doing provocations and angers. Seeing that the Taiping Army is closely guarding the fortifications and unable to come out, the Jiangyin Green Camp soldiers who are responsible for provoking and seducing the enemy are all kinds of tricks. They jump and scold outside the range of the Taiping Army's muskets, and they are crazy greetings to Lin Fengxiang's ancestors and parents and every female relative. They take off their pants and urinate at the Taiping Army's camp. Many Green Camp soldiers simply sit on the ground and smoke smoke, despising the Taiping Army soldiers to their core.

The soldiers of the Taiping Army had encountered provocations by the enemy, but among the Qing army that had dared to provoke the Taiping Army in person, there were only a few powerful soldiers such as Jiang Zhongyuan, Deng Shaoliang and Wu Chaoyue. It was the first time for the Taiping Army to be so provoked by the Green Camp soldiers who were under the combat effectiveness. In a rage, many Taiping Army generals ran to Lin Fengxiang to ask for battle. Although Lin Fengxiang knew that the Green Camp soldiers would have to leave a backup plan for this, and it must be Wu Chaoyue's arrangement, he could not stand the Green Camp soldiers' power and martial arts. He also bullied the Wu army behind the Green Camp soldiers only one battalion. Lin Fengxiang finally sent his general Ou Zhencai to lead a thousand troops out of the camp to cut off these Green Camp soldiers who were successful.

Not to mention, the Jiangyin Green Camp soldiers, who had been tested by the war, have really made some progress. Seeing the Taiping Army lined up, more than a hundred Green Camp soldiers were still holding on and not escaping immediately, but their shouts were inevitably much smaller. Then when Ou Zhencai led his army to charge, these Green Camp men all ran back with their heads in their arms, and ran around the mountains as usual, as usual, and ran faster than rabbits.

Everyone knows that these green camp soldiers would never really fight against the Taiping Army, so Ou Zhencai and the Taiping Army soldiers he brought out of the camp were always concerned about Wu Jun Jianyong, who was more than one mile away. As a result, Ou Zhencai and others were secretly surprised and happy that Wu Jun Jianyong did not arrange the hollow hedgehog formation immediately this time, which gave them a headache. They also rarely lined up four rows of horizontal lines to take the initiative to attack the Taiping Army. Seeing that they had the opportunity to take advantage of it, Ou Zhencai did not hesitate and immediately divided the army into two, five hundred people lined up to fight head-on, and the other five hundred people went to browse the Wu Jun Jianyong's retreat from the south.

At the same time, the Taiping Army camp suddenly made a loud noise. The Taiping Army artillery, which had been ready to go, suddenly opened fire at the same time, and shot more than ten shells at the Wu Army Lianyong's horizontal team. At least five of them hit the Wu Army Lianyong's queue. During the shell bouncing, Wu Army Lianyong fell to the ground one after another, and no less than 30 people were killed and injured. A long-depressed cheer sounded in the Taiping Army camp.

The cheers of the Taiping Army soon gradually faded away, because the Taiping Army soldiers were stunned to see that Wu Jun Lianyong, who had been hit by a head-on attack, was not in a mess at all, and were still moving forward steadily with guns. At the same time, Ou Zhencai and others also vaguely heard someone in the Wu Jun Lianyong queue shouting, "Brothers, don't panic, don't be in a mess, keep the queue and keep moving forward! Don't forget that half of the foreign devils were still marching forward. Are we even worse than foreign devils?!"

"Shooting thirty meters! The proudest thing about British soldiers is to shoot thirty meters! We must do this too, shoot thirty meters!"

The Taiping Army soldiers who heard the shouting all suspected that they had heard it wrong, but what stunned them was that the Wu army Jianyong attacked the other side had never fired, and they were always marching forward against the falling artillery shells. The momentum was so calm that it was not like on the battlefield of gunfire. On the contrary, the Taiping Army gunners hiding in the camp showed signs of panic, and the adjustment of the artillery position showed deviations in succession, the hit rate decreased significantly, and the speed of filling and loading of drugs decreased a little, which posed a decrease in the threat to the Wu army Jianyong who was constantly moving forward.

As the distance between each other became closer and was about to enter the range of each other, Ou Zhencai cunningly ordered the soldiers of the army to stop advancing and aim at each other. However, the Wu Jun Lian Yong on the opposite side looked calm and still moved forward steadily. When the distance was about 100 meters, Ou Zhencai couldn't help but order the guns to fire. As the gunshots burst, Wu Jun Lian Yong was constantly being shot and injured and killed. However, what made Ou Zhencai and other Taiping soldiers unbelievable was that Wu Jun Lian Yong was still continuing to line up. Although the guns were aimed at the horizontal line of the Taiping Army, there was no even a single Wu Jun Lian Yong who could not help but shoot.

I have never encountered such a desperate tactic. When Taiping Army soldiers reloaded bullets and filled the medicine, their speed was greatly reduced. Until the Wu army's Lianyong lined up within 60 meters, gunfire sounded one after another in the Taiping Army's formation. Then, relying on the advantage of close-range shooting, the hit rate of Wu army's Lianyong was greatly improved. The number of Wu army's Lianyong fell to the ground was significantly higher. Then...

Then Ou Zhencai felt that he was going crazy. He was so close. Wu Jun Lian Yong had not even been afraid of shooting alone. He still lined up with a calm expression. The roar of the commander of Wu Jun was even more clearly audible. "Shut down! Keep your breath! No orders are allowed to shoot!"

Finally, after nearly a hundred casualties, Wu Jun Lianyong finally approached 30 meters in front of the Taiping Army. Then, with Huang Dasha's roar, Wu Jun Lianyong in the first row finally aimed at the enemy and pulled the trigger, and fired the first round of bullets. Then Wu Jun Lianyong in the first row quickly squatted on the ground and loaded the bullets, changing to the second rehearsal Yong to aim and shoot, followed by the third and fourth rows.

The crazy tactics learned from the British lobster soldiers received a very satisfactory effect on Wu Jun Jian Yong. After the first round of the fourth team shot, at least 200 Taiping soldiers on the opposite side were killed and injured. The remaining Taiping soldiers could not bear such terrifying psychological pressure and left the team to escape. After the Wu Jun Jian Yong fired the second round of bullets, there were only a few Taiping soldiers who dared to stand in front of them. Including Ou Zhencai, they were already pulled by their personal soldiers and ran away, leaving behind dead bodies and wounded soldiers on the ground.

The other five hundred Taiping soldiers who came from behind were frightened. Seeing the madness and coldness of Wu Jun Lian Yong, the Taiping soldiers who were detouring behind the Wu Jun were actually stationed in the army, and the eyes of Wu Jun Lian Yong were already full of fear.

At this time, Huang Dasha, who was responsible for seducing the enemy, gave a very cold order, which was to order Lian Yong to continue line up and stab all the Taiping Army wounded members who were rolling and screaming on the ground with a bayonet, and then ordered the horizontal team to turn around and line up to kill the enemy behind. Seeing this scene in the camp, Lin Fengxiang did not hesitate, and immediately ordered all the main forces to go out and personally lead the cruel and arrogant Wu army to fight to the death. During this period, Ou Zhencai was slapped by Lin Fengxiang and was forced by Lin Fengxiang to meet the detoured Taiping Army. At the same time, Lin Fengxiang roared: "No matter how much the price is spent, I have to stop this Qing demon! Today, if I don't kill this Qing demon all over the armor, I will not be surnamed Lin! Beyond him the little demon surname!"

Ou Zhencai personally supervised the formation. Like before, Huang Dasha, who was determined to learn from the lobster soldiers, still ordered the self-soldier Zheng Yong to shoot 30 meters. Even if Huang Dasha himself was hit by a single shot in line, he still covered his wounds while commanding the soldiers to move forward. He ordered the shooting until he arrived at 30 meters. The group shooting at ultra-close range made Wu Jun Lian Yong's hit rate very terrible. Just one round of round shots, more than two hundred Taiping soldiers were killed and injured. Although the shooting speed of the carbine was not as fast as the firing needle gun, it was far better than the Taiping army's front-mounted combshot gun. Therefore, during the battle line-up, Wu Jun Lian Yong still had the upper hand. He still used only two rounds of round shots to break up the 500 enemies behind him.

At this time, the main force of the Taiping Army who had rushed out of the camp had already divided his troops to rush over, but Huang Dasha commanded the Wu army Lian Yong to line up to retreat to the future, and at the same time stabbed all the wounded Taiping Army soldiers who were shot and fell to the ground to death. It was not until the Taiping Army pursuers approached within 200 meters that Huang Dasha ordered his subordinates to ship the hollow hedgehog formation on which Wu Chaoyue relied for his fame, and kept the array calmly retreating slowly from the future.

The soldiers of the Taiping Army have always been most afraid of the hollow hedgehog formation of Wu Jun Jianyong. Fortunately, the task of this pursuer was to cut off Huang Dasha's return, and he bypassed the Wu Jun's hedgehog formation from a distance and lined up to intercept the rear. After the Wu Jun Jianyong changed the four-row round-shooting rounds to the hedgehog formation, the attack power also decreased seriously. Even if the muskets still had the upper hand, they could no longer quickly defeat the enemy blocking the road. They were forced to slow down and continue shooting with the Taiping Army. The Taiping Army that blocked the road fought and retreated, restraining the Wu Jun Jianyong to gain time for the main force's advance.

During the fierce battle, Lin Fengxiang finally brought the main force to the nearest place. After loudly calling for the dispatch of troops, the Taiping Army soldiers from the three battalions immediately attacked three groups, cooperated with the interception team to encircle Huang Dasha's troops from all directions. Huang Dasha commanded Lian Yong to fight calmly, while slowly and unshakablely retreating to the future route, while constantly loading and shooting Taiping Army soldiers who were trying to rush to the front to fight in close combat. At the same time, in order to suppress the enemy's charge, Wu Jun Lian Yong gradually began to use a very small number of grenade bombs, and as a result, he also achieved very ideal results, and repelled the Taiping Army's cluster charges several times.

Seeing that the charge of his own army was repelled by the Wu army several times, Lin Fengxiang was furious and became more determined to wipe out the Wu army's determination to practice courage. While constantly urging the army to launch a charge, he distributed an army in advance to form an array outside the east gate of Jiangyin to intercept the reinforcements that Wu Chaoyue might have sent. As soon as the order was issued, Wu Ruxiao appeared in front of Lin Fengxiang. As soon as he met, he was like Lin Fengxiang questioning: "Prime Minister Lin, why are you crazy? Why would you take the main force away from the protection of the camp fortifications and come here to gather? If the Super Little Demon is dispatched at this time, then we will force a decisive battle with him?"

After Wu Ruxiao reminded him, Lin Fengxiang realized that he was a little too impulsive today and should not take the initiative to give up the battalion defense fortifications that are beneficial to his own army and bring all the main forces to the unrestrained wilderness. However, after a glance at Huang Dasha's troops of the Wu army, who were only more than 300 people left, and then looked at Jiangyin City in the distance. Lin Fengxiang still gritted his teeth and said, "I can't ask for it! If the Super Little Demon really dares to bring the main force to fight me, I will fight to the death with him!" (To be continued.)
