Hu Linyi took out Guan Wen's letter of help and said to Zeng Guofan: "I didn't expect that the feng shui will change, and Guan Wen still has the face to ask for help from us here! When Shorthaired attacked Hubei, Guan Wen immediately asked the Hunan Army for help. Without saying a word, we sent elite troops to Hubei to stop Shorthair. Later, Kehui was surrounded in Jinggang. The Hunan Army was unpredictable and could only beg Guan Wen to send troops. Who would have thought that he would sit idly by and watch Kehui lose his destruction? What should we do if there is such a borer in the Qing Dynasty?"

Zeng Guofan smiled bitterly: "Kun Wen regrets it now!"

Guan Wen did not expect Li Xubin to be defeated so badly. Not only did he match all his wealth, but he also took advantage of his life. He also didn't understand why Short-haired was left in Changsha and didn't fight, but he fell in love with his Wuchang City.

Du Xing'a felt that his official position was not lower than that of Guanwen. Now everyone knows that Guanwen has angered the Hunan Army. The Hunan Army is powerful, so he immediately wants to draw a line with Guanwen.

Upon receiving the news that Li Xubin was defeated by Jinggang Town, Du Xinga secretly wrote a memorial ** official article, saying that he should bear full responsibility for Li Xubin's death, and asked Hu Linyi to return to Hubei to preside over the overall situation. According to the memorial, if Hu Linyi supervises the dispatch, Li Xubin will not be wiped out.

"Governor! Now the short-haired soldiers are at the city. This is the consequence of your silence against Li Xubin. Now the generals in the city have returned home and retired, saying: Li Kehui is now the one who says we are Ming. You should think of a way to appease the generals, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!" Du Xinga said sarcastically. All the generals in the city are his subordinates. He just wants to hold Guanwen and make Guanwen heal more blood.

Guan Wen was so angry that these bastards nodded and praised him for refusing to send troops. Now they want to put the blame on him alone. There is no such good thing in the world. They said fiercely: "Rareless! Who refused to let Li Xubin enter the city at the beginning? Who killed the messenger for help? I am not afraid of this lawsuit against the emperor!"

Du Xing'a winked at Duron Ah.

Dorona quickly waved his hand and said, "Governor General, I acted on your orders at the beginning, and even my general was kept in the dark. You can't put all the blame on me, I am just acting on my order!"

There is such a shameless villain in the world! Guan Wen was shocked and angry: "Bastard! You...what do you mean?" Guan Wen saw the generals below watching coldly, his attitude immediately changed and begged: "Now that short hair outside the city is rampant, we will fight here again, and Wuchang is in a fall, and we can't escape. I will immediately pay you three months of military pay. I hope you will do it yourself."

The generals then smiled happily and bent down to thank him.

Tianjia Town, since the last attack on Jingdezhen failed, Bao Chao felt that he had embarrassed Zeng Guofan and Hu Linyi. At the beginning, the two of them promoted him to the commander of the Land Division despite the gossip. The official position was from the foreign commission and the general was promoted to the general, and he was promoted to more than ten levels within a year. Before he could repay this great kindness, he embarrassed his benefactor. Bao Chaoyue felt more ashamed and angry.

This time when Zeng Guofan sent him to attack Tianjia Town, Bao Chao had the intention of fighting hard.

"Tianjia Town is here, everyone is ready to get off the boat quickly! There is a fort in front of you."

The five thousand men brought by Bao Chao were lined up outside the town in an orderly manner. Two thousand of the five thousand were equipped with foreign guns. This time, Zeng Guofan spent a lot of money. In order to prevent Bao Chao from being impulsive, he also gave his capable aide Chen Shijie to Bao Chao.

Bao Chao stood the camp three miles away from Tianjia Town, and did not talk much, and divided the team into five teams. He said to the five divisions: "I don't need to say anything about Tianjia Town. Everyone knows the threat to our Hunan Army. If you can't defeat Tianjia Town, the Hunan Army will not be able to return to Wuchang. The five teams will take turns to attack the fortress outside the town. After these fortresses are cleared, I will lead you into the town and kill you happily."

"Abide by the order"

Zhong Lin looked at the Hunan Army screaming outside the town and felt a little worried. The 3,000 defenders in the town were half of the number of people. I wonder if he could hold on until the commander returned.

"Kill" the Hunan Army shouted loudly and rushed forward with a head burying.

"Bang bang bang"

Both sides were equipped with a large number of foreign guns, all standing together to shoot at each other. The Hunan Army was not inferior to the Han Army at all, and gradually moved forward.

"Boom boom boom" The cannons in the town finally began to show their power. For a moment, the Hunan Army's charge team flew everywhere, consciously dispersing, and continued to charge towards the town under the cover of the foreign gun team.

Seeing that the Xiang army was only fifty steps away from the town, Zhong Lin shouted loudly: "The First Battalion attacked!"

"Killing" instantly surged out of the town, and waving a big sword to collided with the Hunan Army. The two sides fought hard without any ambiguity.

Zhong Lin said to himself: "This is the most fierce Qing army I have ever seen!" After pausing, he ordered loudly: "Order the artillery to not hide it, and bombard the Qing army's musket team with all its strength!"

"Boom boom boom"

"Boom boom boom"

Seeing that the foreign gun team was blown away by cannons, Bao Chao stomped his feet in anger. This strong team was no better than others. A foreign gun alone cost dozens of taels of silver, and the training time took several months. Finally, he couldn't bear it and let the foreign gun team retreat temporarily.

Chen Shijie frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Short-haired sneak attacks Hubei must be light-fitting. Why are there so many cannons in the town? Could it be that the turret outside was demolished?"

Bao Chao is now attacking Tianjia Town wholeheartedly, so he has no intention of considering this issue. He said without looking back: "Sir, I'm worried too much. There are not many defenders in Tianjia Town. At most, I will be sure to capture Tianjia Town in ten days."

Chen Shijie sighed inwardly. He originally suggested that the navy attack from the back, but he was not sure whether the turret was really removed. There were only more than twenty naval warships sent over. If half of the artillery on the turret were fired, sudden attack would also cause damage.

After two days of fierce battle, the Hunan Army finally cleared the fortress outside the town. More than a thousand people lost their combat effectiveness. There were less than four thousand people in the entire army able to fight. Even these four thousand people made Bao Chao confident.

Zhong Lin thought of Chen Yucheng's letter, and asked him to blow up all the cannons, bring the defenders to join him in Macheng, and march into Henan. This made him puzzled. Could it be that the commander had left the army in the west? Why didn't he go back to Jiujiang along Tianjia Town?

Zhong Lin led the defenders of Tianjia Town to retreat to Macheng under the night.

Bao Chao looked at the silent Tianjia Town and thought to himself: Could it be that Shorthair uses the empty city strategy?

Chen Shijie held up his telescope and observed for a while, came to Bao Chao, pointed to the house in the town and said, "Yesterday, the short hair was still full of flags on it, so how could it disappear now? Has the short hair been removed?"

Bao Chao called a team of soldiers and ordered: "You can go into the town and check it out. When you come back, each person will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver!"
