"That's Zeng Guofan! He was captured alive!"
As soon as Xu Yuegui saw Zeng Linshu, Zeng Guohua and his son knew that they had found the right person. They shouted loudly, took the lead and rushed forward to kill the person with two peace knives.
The two father and son look so much alike. They both have triangular eyes, high trembling bones, and evil faces. They are also somewhat similar to the Zeng boy from the "Ji" generation. Moreover, the two father and son are among a large group of clan soldiers holding weapons. Under Ding's protection, there were a group of women, servants and children beside him.
You don't need to ask to know that the frightened Zeng Guofan supported his old man and took his family out of the south gate and into the stream to escape! It seems that everything was as expected by her "female Zhuge" Xu Yuegui!
This female leader of the Tiandihui had a talent for rebellion. Later, she joined the lecturer class. She studied "Anti-Jing" under the guidance of Luo Yaoguo and understood some principles of rebellion. She also worked with Zhang San, Wang Yan and Jiao. Hong, Xu Xianggui, Bo Yong and others jointly founded a well-organized secret church for worshiping God. Later, they also led a group of carefully selected backbones of the Kingdom of Heaven, made several big deals, and sneaked into Guiyang and Chenzhou. Zhuzhou Pin and several other towns responded internally. Now he has grown into an experienced "old rebel"
See how she sneaked into Xiangxiang this time, created chaos with the cooperation of Xiao Chaogui's army, and finally robbed and killed "Zeng Guofan" in the chaos. It was so smooth and easy to capture!
The elite secret gangs who followed her into Xiangxiang County were the best at sneaking in, causing chaos and setting fire to the narrow streets in the city. I saw them throwing torches with all their strength first, then steel knives in one hand and flintlock pistols in the other. Shouting the slogan "Kill the monsters and go to heaven" loudly, he charged out from the darkness like a beast and rushed towards the soldiers of the Zeng family who were illuminated by torches but were at a loss what to do.
"Crackling..."
In the darkness, there was first a flash of fire, and then the sound of a musket.
Although the effective range of the flintlock pistol is very short, the elite secret hall soldiers were already very close to the Zeng family when they fired it. They also took advantage of the Zeng family's lack of time to react and rushed ten or even a few steps before firing. Naturally, it was The bullets were all fired! After a flash of fire, twenty or thirty of the Zeng family soldiers, servants, and Daozhou regiment soldiers inside the city gate fell, and screams for help were heard. The Zeng family soldiers who luckily escaped, The servants also lost their fighting spirit.
Not long ago, they were all honest farmers. Although they were recruited by the Zeng family as so-called clan soldiers, they were not actually organized into a team and did not undergo any military training.
Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Jiang Zhongyuan, Luo Zenan, and Chen Qishu, who have taken ordinary paths and failed to get ahead, are different scholars. He was the "seed of famous officials" who was a member of the Imperial Academy and became a minister in eight years. Such nondescript official positions are not in his eyes at all. Naturally, he will not pay attention to the management of the one or two hundred clan soldiers and servants.
As a result, all the soldiers have fled when they are needed!
Seeing the Taiping Army rushing towards them like menace, the Zeng family soldiers who had not been killed by muskets all fled away in a rush. Only some Daozhou regiment practitioners were still resisting reluctantly, but they were all beaten by Xu. Yue Gui's men rushed away. Zeng Guohua and Zeng Linshu soon had no soldiers of the Zeng family around them. Xu Yuegui swung his sword in front of the Zeng family father and son. Without saying a word, he slashed the head of Zeng Linshu, who was so frightened that his face was pale. go.
"Don't hurt my father!"
Zeng Guohua was a filial son after all. After roaring, he rushed forward and blocked the old father with a waist knife in his hand.
He originally had a flintlock pistol in his hand, which was given to him by Huang Shijie, the richest man in Yongzhou, when he was a fellow magistrate in Yongzhou. But just now in a panic, he accidentally shot out the bullet, and now he can only use a knife.
Xu Yuegui had long expected that "Zeng Guofan" would have such a move. The sword he struck Zeng Linshu with was not real, but he just raised it and did not fall. When he saw Zeng Guohua coming to block it with his sword, he used a fierce force and slashed the Taiping dagger. He slashed hard at the back of the waist knife that Zeng Guohua was holding in one hand.
Zeng Guohua's strength is actually not small. After all, he is also a brave man. He can also box and dance on weekdays, but this is not for fighting, but just to exercise his muscles. Who is Xu Yuegui's opponent? He stretched out When he went out to block Xu Yuegui's blow, he didn't even hold on to the sword tightly, but Xu Yuegui hit him hard with all his strength, knocking the weapon off.
Now my hands are empty, what can I do?
Before he could think of what to do? Xu Yuegui's other peace knife was already placed on his neck. However, the woman did not erase the meaning of "Zeng Guofan", but said with a smile: "Zeng Guofan, you can be considered a catch." Stop you!" "I, I, I." Zeng Guohua originally wanted to defend himself, saying that he was not Zeng Guofan, but Zeng Guohua. But then he thought, he should be Zeng Guofan!
Because this female Changmao came here for Zeng Guo, and now she has arrested the wrong person. If she finds out that she has made a mistake, she will definitely not let him go. Not only will she not let him go, she may even kill him.
After killing him, it is still possible to continue looking for Zeng Guofan.
Looking at the skills of her and her men, if there is a riot in the city of Xiangxiang, and there are Xiao Ni and Chaogui's army outside... maybe they will be defeated and the city will be destroyed, and everything will be over! Instead of this, we should It’s better to admit that you are Zeng Guofan!
His eldest brother also said before that Xiao Chaogui came here to capture Zeng Guofan... Maybe if the real owner is captured, Xiao Chaogui will retreat. After all, Xiangxiang is not an important place. The Qing Dynasty and Changmao are currently fighting for it. The focus should be along the Xiangjiang River.
Thinking of this, Zeng Guohua nodded heavily: "I... am Zeng Guofan! I am a resident of Ding You, and have not offended the chief... Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, why did the heroine want to capture me?"
When Xu Yuegui heard that Zeng Guohua admitted that he was Zeng Guofan, he was overjoyed. He immediately called four of his men and asked them to hold Zeng Linshu, Zeng Guohua and his son one by one. Then he led his men to escort the Zeng family and his son out of Xiangxiang. South Gate. There are only seven or eight open-top boats parked on the pier outside the south gate of Xiangxiang at this time. I don’t know where the other boats have gone.
These seven or eight open boats were also under Xu Yuegui's men. When the Zeng family soldiers who had opened the way came out of the door, they were shot with shotguns. This time they saw Xu Yuegui rushing out with his men, and they immediately A few secret masters jumped onto the pier to greet him.
One of the little bosses saw Xu Yuegui approaching with a happy face, and immediately went up to him and asked, "Deputy Hall Master, have you caught Zeng Guofan?" "Yes!" Xu Yuegui said with a smile, "We also caught his father. .Come on, bring it up!"
"yes!"
Several of his men immediately responded and put Zeng Linshu and Zeng Guohua on the shelf. Zeng Linshu had turned pale with fear and shook off the chaff, but Zeng Guohua was quite calm and looked at Xu Yuegui fiercely with a pair of triangular eyes. Xu Yuegui took a lantern from one of the men who greeted her on the pier, and then ordered: "Bring up the baby named Zeng."
Immediately, a female soldier from the Taiping Army approached Zeng Linshu and Zeng Guohua, holding a thin monkey in her arms.
Xu Yuegui raised the lantern and illuminated the two evil faces. The child burst into tears without anyone asking, "Old man, eldest man, our house was robbed by bad guys, and my grandfather was killed by bad guys. Hurry up." Send troops to kill all the bad guys...Zeng Guohua really recognized this child, and sighed: "Ji Yi, stop crying, the bad guys will be killed by the officers and soldiers soon..."
That’s right!
Xu Yuegui laughed, waved her hand and said, "Take everyone to the boat!" "Yes!"
Seeing "Zeng Guofan" and his father being escorted into the open boat, one of Xu Yuegui's subordinates came up and asked: "Deputy Hall Master, should we attack Xiangxiang County?"
Just when Xu Yuegui was about to say a fight, gunfire erupted inside the south gate of Xiangxiang, and shouts with a Cantonese accent came out: "I was ordered by General Zhang Shen of Daozhou to suppress the ground... The rest of the crowd immediately retreated, daring to stay in the city." Those who follow the sect will be killed without mercy!" Xu Yuegui bit her silver teeth and muttered in a low voice: "It's that twenty-five-year-old boy from Zhang Guoliang..."
Xu Yuegui's men are all elite secret troops, equivalent to special forces under the direct control of the intelligence department. They are specialized in infiltration, kidnapping, assassination, sabotage, and incitement. They are not used to grind meat. Moreover, they are equipped with easy-to-use equipment. The peace knives and short guns they carry are not the long swords, shotguns and cannons used to fight in a majestic battle.
It would be fine if he fought with the newly opened regiment, but Zhang Guoliang was inside the south gate of Xiangxiang, and his troops were not weak!
