In Guangxi, the fifth town of the Taiping Army was ordered to attack Guilin, the capital of Guangxi by land.

On the seventh day, the A-Board travel school, Hu Mingyi, the former Qianhu of Xin'an, led his troops to set out from Wuzhou Prefecture Post, crossed Longjiang and Zhaotan Posts, and occupied Yong'an Prefecture City, where the defenders had abandoned the city and fled. On the nineth day, the town general Zhao Ziqiang led the town guards and the B-Both, and the C-Both arrived in Yong'an Prefecture City. Then the whole town went westward and captured Pingle, Gongcheng, Yangshuo and other cities. The Qing army along the way fled and no one dared to fight the Taiping Army.

On the 14th, Chen Wei, the governor of Guangxi in Qing Dynasty, heard the news that a Taiping Army had an isolated army of about 2,000 soldiers advanced to Dongjiang Post, which was only 40 miles away from the city of the capital. In order to curb the Taiping Army's offensive, Chen Weixin ordered Guilin General Xu Tianyou, Guiping-dii Wang Yanbin, Cangwu's guard road Chen Hongye, and Cangwu's guard road Li Bensheng, who fled back from Wuzhou, and others led troops to Dongjiang Post to block the attack, trying to eat the rash Taiping Army.

Xu Tianyou didn't want to lead the troops, but when he heard the horses say that the Taiping Army was all infantry and no cavalry. And the recent Taiping Army was still dozens of miles away, he realized that this was a good opportunity and agreed to take the order to go to the expedition. There were only more than 3,000 defenders in the central plains of Guilin City. After asking for a line to supervise the return of the army, Chen Weixin was sure to attack Guilin. He ordered Pingle and Guilin's troops to retreat to Guilin. Although this move allowed the Taiping Army to seize more than ten prefectures and counties without any effort, it also made the Guilin defenders reach more than 9,000. In addition, the young and strong city could use more than 10,000 people.

Among the soldiers and horses who followed Xu Tianyou out of the city, there were more than a thousand men guarding the Dao of King Yanbin in Guiping, and more than 700 men guarding the Dao of Cangwu. After Li Bensheng risked his life to escape back, he gathered a group of strong men. In addition, the bandits recruited by the officials and generous rewards, he barely gathered more than a thousand men. However, the main force was Guilin Zhenbiao under Xu Tianyou, with more than 300 cavalry and more than 1,400 infantry.

Before Xu Tianyou's troops left the city, Governor Chen Weixin led Guilin Prefecture Prefecture Feng Jin, Guilin Prefecture General Yao Shitai and other officials to hold banquets at the top of the city. After drinking the wine, Xu Tianyou ordered the troops to leave the city. At the end of the day, the Qing army met Brigade B, the fifth town of the Taiping Army, who had arrived in Dongjiang Post.

The fifth town's Brigade C was originally the B Brigade B of the second town. A few months ago, the fifth town was allocated from the second town. The town general Yu Shizhong was a descendant of the Qi family army in Ming Dynasty.

After several battles, the soldiers of Brigade C had long lost the tension he had when facing the Qing army. In their opinion, the Green Camp soldiers on the opposite side were just here to deliver vegetables. In the team, several veterans even joked: "Don't rush forward too fast today, otherwise your butt would be broken by the master again." The young master mentioned by the veterans was Yu Youming, the only son of Yu Shizhong, the travel school.

Yu Youming followed his father to flee south since he was a child. He was born in a chaotic world and grew up in the army. In order not to let the Qi family's army have no successor, his father Yu Shizhong taught him with all his strength. Yu Youming was good at gunpoint, stick, sword and halberd, and was young and vigorous, and he always relied on his martial arts to break into the enemy's camp regardless of military orders. Last time when Lu Feng was besieged by Jidu, Yu Youming killed more than a dozen Qing soldiers on the top of the city. When he saw that the enemy could not resist the casualties and began to escape, he actually climbed the ladder thrown by the Qing army and jumped down to chase. After a while, two real Tartars were cut off and ran back.

Although this move was a hero, he left the city without obtaining the military order, which made his father Yu Shizhong very angry. He was furious and wanted to marshal the military. Fortunately, Tie Yi, the second town general of the superior, came to stop him after hearing this. Yu Shizhong could not practice military law, so he practiced family law and slapped his son on the butt and beat him hard on the school ground. Unexpectedly, such a knockdown made Yu Youming famous in the Taiping Army, even the Grand Marshal Zhou knew that the Yu family had a little Wenyang who could pick and chop off the horse.

When the fifth town was ordered to go to Chaozhou to expedition the west, Yu Shizhong was only one son, and the westward expedition was too dangerous to face the hundreds of thousands of Qing troops in the southwest, so Yu Youming was not allowed to attend the battle. As a result, Yu Youming knelt on the school ground for a long time. After a conversation between father and son, Yu Youming finally got his wish and was in line with the army to follow the battle.

The veterans teased themselves in public, but Yu Youming was not annoyed. The one who left and right did not give his son a favor, and opened his butt in front of so many people. What's wrong with asking people to laugh now? Isn't it the face of the old Yu family? I don't want this face, what's the son want? Besides, as long as I can kill the Tartars to avenge their grandfather and uncle, what's the shame!

Once you are used to the jokes of veterans, Yu Youming simply joked about them: "Old brothers, don't just laugh at me, I'm afraid that the soldiers in the camp will not be beaten later. We will start too smoothly. You run too fast and can't stop. When the military order comes down, everyone will get hit. Haha."

"If we are beaten, I can't escape. But we have thick skin and thick flesh. If we hit a hundred boards, we will just scratch it. If my skin is tender, I will twist and pinch it when I walk. Hehe, my mother frowned when she sees it."

Everyone was talking and laughing, not taking the Qing army opposite seriously, and their morale was high, as if the thousands of Qing soldiers opposite were really mud-crushed.

However, when he heard the drums in the Qing army opposite, the veterans and young master Yu Youming put away their smiles and quickly dispersed their knots according to the past training. This Bund is completely the brigade Yu Shizhong trained according to the tactics of the Qi family army, and it is also the only Taiping army that did not practice according to the military commander's office. This is because Zhou Dashui made an exception and wanted the blood of the Qi family army to continue in the Taiping army.

With the banner, every forty people in the Bundesliga formed a small herringbone formation, interlaced with front and back, separated from left and right. At the front of the small formation, the four people were erected by bamboo on the ground diagonally, with ten spears on the side, and finally the boring handle and knife player. The sharp bamboo branches at the front of the wolf cun were not cut off, allowing the war horses to instinctively avoid it.

Relying on his superiority in military strength and cavalry, Guilin General Xu Tianyou ordered a rushing battle. He did not underestimate the enemy, nor was he careless. Instead, he actually analyzed the strength of the Taiping Army on the other side before making a decision to attack, because he did not believe that more than 2,000 Ming army infantry could block his double troops.

Then the battle situation was not as Xu Tianyou expected from the beginning. When more than 300 cavalrymen under his mark entered the gap between the Taiping Army's small formation, they could not speed up the horses again, and the boring handles and spears on the side of the Taiping Army's small formation kept sweeping toward the Qing soldiers. The riders used sabers to block them, and most of them were forked by boring. Then several spears were stolen, and they were immediately slapped, and screamed endlessly. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Qing army in the back team wanted to bypass and rush around. The bird gunners who hid behind the herringbone formation ran out to shoot and were knocked down again.

The expected stepping formation turned into a one-sided massacre by the Ming army, which shocked Xu Tianyou, who witnessed all this.

The infantry brigade also rushed up. The Qing army was working hard, nor was it not unscrupulous. Even Cang Wubing, who was calling the Taiping Army to kill the Taiping Army under the city of Wuzhou, Li Bensheng gritted his teeth and rushed up with his subordinates. However, although the Qing army had the advantage in its military strength, the Taiping Army's front was still motionless.

Slowly, with the continuous orders of the voyage school Yu Shizhong, one by one, the changing banners passed down. The Qing army was shocked to find that they were actually surrounded by the Taiping Army, which had much less troops than them.
