Chapter 249: Defeat

Li Chendian held a long sword in his hand, looked at the Taiping Army lined up fifty meters away in front, and said, "People are paying attention! This group of long hair is indeed unusual!"

A Hunan Army whistleman could not stand the solemn atmosphere. An enemy in front was still vulnerable and shouted: "Longmao died!"

After saying that, the whistleman, who was over 20 years old, rushed towards the Taiping Army formation with his brothers...

Liu Songshan was shocked and hurriedly shouted to his nephew: "Along the river! Come back quickly! These are all Guangxi soldiers!"

"Kill the Qing Demon!" The Taiping Army shouted in unison and met the Hunan Army. Poor Liu Yanjiang had just killed three people, but he was dismembered by the corpse of the corpse. More than a hundred brothers under his command did not form formations and fought on their own. They were besieged by dozens of times of their troops. After only a few breaths, the entire army was wiped out.

Seeing his nephew die in battle, Liu Songshan glared at the eyes of his teeth, and was furious and couldn't help but shout: "Kill!"

Seeing that many of his subordinates showed fear, Li Chendian sighed inwardly, if he formed a formation to defend himself, he might not support the reinforcements and would collapse. He did not have time to think too much, and also ordered loudly:

"kill!"

The Taiping Army had less than 2,000 people, and it was as good as the nearly 3,000 people in the Hunan Army. Without a step back, thousands of people fought desperately within a radius of hundreds of meters. The Hunan Army did not expect that this group of long-haired soldiers could fight so hard than expected. Many people were afraid and hid behind, just waving flags and cheering. Although the sound of killing was shocking, they gradually fell into a disadvantage. Most of the soldiers who fell to the ground were Hunan Army soldiers.

"Murder Team! Muser Team!" Feeling a retreating army, Li Chendian was anxious and shouted loudly to the left and right while slashing.

When Li ** heard his uncle's shouting, he pulled back and gathered more than a hundred gunmen, and led them to the flanks. However, the battlefield between the enemy and us could easily hurt his own people. He had an idea and used his native dialect to make the Hunan Army in front retreat to both sides. Looking at Changmao who wanted to pursue, Li ** ordered the shooting loudly.

"Bang bang!"

"Bang bang!"

After only two rounds of fighting, nearly a hundred people were killed or injured in the Taiping Army. The Hunan Army took advantage of the situation and the Taiping Army eventually fell into a disadvantage and was divided and surrounded in two places, so they could only retreat and defend themselves.

Looking at the bloody land below, Ji Wenyuan was shocked and scared. He hoped to defeat the Hunan Army in one fell swoop like the two times before, but he did not expect that his most elite troops would be divided and surrounded by the Hunan Army. Seeing them falling down one by one, they ordered their troops to respond. They were frightened by a gunshot. Ji Wenyuan was completely indifferent and didn't know what to do.

Yang Fuqing advised: "It's better to give up the front army and give those camps to the Hunan Army. Let's concentrate our troops to fight them on the mountainside!"

Ji Wenyuan nodded immediately after hearing this and loudly ordered the soldiers below the mountain to retreat.

"Sir! The hair has retreated!" Liu Songshan was filled with joy and sorrow. Most of his troops were injured and killed. These brothers were either his sons and nephews, or relatives and friends.

Li Chendian did not answer and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and how many people are, how many casualties are our army?"

Liu Songshan replied first: "312 casualties in the front camp, 245 people can fight!"

The right camp official replied loudly: "243 casualties in the right camp, and 321 people can fight!"

"The left camp suffered 256 casualties, 233 people were able to fight, and the sentry officers were killed and killed, and none of them survived! There are still eighteen team officials!"

"156 casualties in the rear camp, and 378 people could fight!"

Zhu Xinkan, the official of the Central Camp, replied at the end: "333 casualties in the Central Camp, 134 people can fight! Only one sentry officer is left, and there are only five team officials!"

Li Chendian plotted for a while, but he was prepared and was still shocked. After a while, he replied: "There are more than 1,300 people left in the battle, and most of the casualties?"

Liu Jintang comforted, "Brother Li, don't be surprised. We annihilated nearly two thousand old soldiers in Guangxi. This is a great victory! The general knows, but there is no reason to be strange about it. Hahahaha! I didn't expect Changmao to be so vulnerable. If Master Xianfeng knew about it, Brother Li would at least be promoted to governor. Even the governor would say it was okay!"

Li Chendian didn't care about these things, and he was still uneasy. He brought all the treasures of the elites of Jizi Camp and Zeng Guoquan. There were so many casualties in this battle. I wonder how his irritable old commander would react.

Seeing the crowds behind, Liu Songshan stepped forward and reminded Li Chendian: "Sir, Lord Bao and the others are coming!"

"I understand!" Li Chendianqiang cheered up, welcomed Bao Chao and others, bowed and said, "I wish you good fortune, and you are humble and happy to be despised!"

Bao Chao helped Li Chendian up and praised: "It is indeed worthy of Lao Jiu's beloved general. This battle was fought well! Changmao will definitely be scared after this battle, and Zunyi Mansion is within his reach!"

Li Chendian sighed: "The brothers still have too many casualties. I didn't expect that the old man in Guangxi, who was so brave, fought to the last man and none of them surrendered. I'm afraid he would be punished by Master Jiu this time!"

Bao Chao disagreed and just thought it was Li Chendian's self-worthy words and said with a smile: "If Lao Jiu blames him, I will tell you that you will be the first contribution to conquer Zunyi Mansion!"

"Thank you!" Li Chendian was relieved.

Liu Jintang stepped forward and asked, "Do our army continue to attack? Bei Zhi is willing to take the lead!"

Bao Chao shook his hand, took out a battle report from his arms, and said with a smile: "Just just now, the left and right troops came to report that they have surrounded Zunyi from the east and south. After this battle, Changmao dared not to continue defending the city. I hope they will retreat overnight. Everyone should rest for a while. Let's intercept him halfway and kill him without leaving any armor!"

"Sir, wise!" Liu Jintang, Li Chendian, Jiang Zhongjun and others praised each other in unison and directed their troops to set up camp.

As expected, Ji Wenyuan heard that the Hunan Army had two troops surrounded Zunyi Mansion, and immediately had the idea of ​​abandoning the city and leaving. He thought that a Hunan Army would be so difficult to fight. Even if he gathered all his subordinates together, he would not be able to eat the troops at the foot of the mountain, let alone the three.

"The situation is critical now. Qing Yao's siege on three sides can match the whole way, but it cannot stop the remaining two ways. We should break through. Brother Yang, what do you think?" Ji Wenyuan finally cared about Yang Fuqing's prestige in the army and asked for his opinion.

Yang Fuqing advised: "Zunyi is an important town in Guizhou. If Qing Yao gains a foothold in Zunyi, the local gentry and chieftains will definitely respond when they hear the news. We will become a loser. I still think we should stick to Zunyi and wait for Brother Huang's reinforcements!"

Ji Wenyuan smiled bitterly, saying that if Huang Weijiang was surrounded, he would not send troops to rescue him.

When he conquered Guizhou, he parted ways with Huang Weijiang due to the leader's dispute. Although he did not openly rebel, he did not interact with each other.

Huang Weijiang drove the Han envoy out of Guiyang, and he also put the Han envoy under house arrest in Zunyi Prefecture, just to be the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix. Unexpectedly, he was kicked up in less than half a year. The Han army captured Yanjing, and all battlefields were firmly in the upper hand, and the trend of unifying the country was becoming more and more obvious. This led to the current situation where he and Huang Weijiang were in difficulty in riding a tiger.

Seeing Ji Wenyuan's face showing a strange smile, Yang Fuqing reflected on what he said for no reason, and continued: "Now the Hunan Army is desperately attacking Guizhou, and it is not without the intention of using Guizhou as the rear to resist the Han army. If we defend Zunyi, we will definitely make the Hunan Army return in vain."

Ji Wenyuan shook his head slowly and said bluntly: "When we were in Zijing Mountain, we captured and killed His Highness the King of Han. When we first besieged Changsha, the Eastern King Palace once again offended His Highness the King of Han. After that, his brothers captured Guizhou. We all accepted the title of the King of Han. But we were blind and saw that the King of Han and the Qing Yao won the Central Plains. The victory and defeat were unpredictable. Governor Hu was placed under house arrest... Hehe... Do you think His Highness the King of Han will forgive us!"

Yang Fuqing said intimately: It’s not that you and Huang Weijiang are obsessed with each other. No one controls you, and your ambitions are expanding so quickly. You can’t dominate Guizhou. Instead, you offended the Han State because of this. Otherwise, the Hunan Army would attack and the Han State had already sent troops to restrain it. How could you be in a dilemma now?
