Guangdong is too far away, how did the general Hahamu of Manzhou fall and how did Prince Jian die? Most of the Qing troops in Hechicheng are unaware of it, so they only regard the Eight Banners of Manzhou, who have almost won every battle since entering the pass, as saviors and dependencies, shouting excitedly, and jumping, as if the Taiping Army will be destroyed as soon as the Manzhou soldiers arrive. And knowing that the Taiping Army has wiped out the line Guoan and others who have twice wiped out the soldiers in Manzhou twice, seeing that the soldiers were greatly motivated by the arrival of the Manzhou soldiers, they were naturally happy to see how they could tell them the truth.

The Taiping Army outside the city initially heard the Qing army shouting and shouting something, but they didn't hear it very clearly. Later, they understood it - the Qing army on the city seemed to have deliberately let the Taiping Army hear it, and hundreds or thousands of people shouted at the same time that the Iron Cavalry of Manzhou had arrived, which was quite a bit of a shocking momentum.

In the Taiping Army, a Baihu, who was originally from a green camp soldier, heard the Qing army's shouting, but sneered, and said to the soldiers around him with disdain in his tone: "What are the iron cavalry of Manzhou? I have even chopped the real Tartar gang under the knife."

In this statement, some soldiers who participated in the Chaohui War were immediately excited, some said they had chopped down Manzhou soldiers, some said they had killed Mongolian soldiers. In their description, whether it was Manzhou real Tartars, Mongolian second Tartars, or the lackeys of Han army, they all had one head and two arms, and the thing under the straddle was also dark, and they didn't see three heads and six arms long, hanging like snakes. When the knife was cut, it was "puffed" and it was like a pig killer, and it looked like a hero. If it was really different, it was that Manzhou real Tartars' mouth was worse than that of our Han people. It was so yellow that it felt like a stench, which made people disgusted.

After these veterans said this, the new recruits who were still a little afraid of being nervous when they heard the arrival of Manzhou Real Tartars. The same scene was staged everywhere in the A and C Brigades. The officers used various methods to cheer up the new recruits who had not fought with Manzhou soldiers, and at the same time sent an emergency report to the Legion headquarters.

Seeing that the Qing army reinforcements were numerous, Li Guoan, a brigade A brigade, discussed with Song Zhong, a descendant of the Qi family army at the brigade A brigade A for a moment, and retreated from the city to join forces three miles, and stood firm and waited for the main force of the army to arrive.

Song Zhong is very thick and has a beard on his face, and his father and brother died in Hunhe. Song Zhong himself has a hereditary position, but he is the commander of the Haizhou Guard. However, he has never been to Haizhou since he can remember. Song Zhong's name is not good, and his colleagues in the army always joke that Song Zhong's death is very unlucky.

However, Song Zhong liked his unlucky name very much, because he was sent to the death, not to be sent to the death. Li Guoan proposed to evade the Qing reinforcements one after another. Song Zhong agreed, because he was unsure and had too many beards on his face, but it did not mean that he was a rude man who was incompetent. Knowing that the Qing army had many soldiers and thousands of cavalry, there were only two brigades of less than 5,000 troops, the outcome was really hard to say. Moreover, after chasing the south for nearly a hundred miles, the soldiers were exhausted and needed to rest, otherwise they would not be able to keep up with their energy and physical strength.

After the Taiping Army retreated, more than 4,000 Manchu and Mongolian cavalry led by Roto personally rushed to Hechi City. They rushed all the way, and the smoke and dust raised looked like a black dragon from a distance, and the momentum was huge.

Roto had already received a message from Alzin and knew that there was a Taiping Army under Hechi City. He originally wanted to lead his troops to rush over the opponent, but saw thousands of Taiping Army lined up several miles outside the city, waiting for the battle formations without any gaps. Roto immediately gave up the idea of ​​rushing to the formation. At this moment, not only the Taiping Army was exhausted, but also the Qing army. In order to arrive as soon as possible, Roto's troops accelerated their march for three consecutive days, and their troops reached the limit. If there was a hole to drill for one blow, the Qing army could also be energetic and rushing, but the opponent's formation was tight, and it was impossible for Roto to force the exhausted army to rush to the formation.

Like the commander of the Qing army, Duni, Prince Xin, Roto was also a young clan. He was a third-class general in the country. Gushan Ezhen, but unlike Duni, he had never experienced a battle formation. Roto had fought several battles. After some weighing, Roto ordered the entire army to enter the city.

After Roto entered the city, Alzin, Xing Guoan and other generals came to see each other quickly. After the generals saluted, Roto was impatient and asked Xing Guoan and said, "What did you do? Why did Qingyuan lose it in just a few days?"

Roto's questioning made Shi Guoan blush slightly, and he gritted his teeth and told the story of the Taiping Army's gunpowder collapsed the Qingyuan city wall. After hearing this, Roto was speechless for a while, but then asked the left and right if he knew the method of gunpowder collapsed the wall. Both left and right didn't know, Roto couldn't help but order people to record the method and send people to Yunnan. No one here knew this method. There were many staff members under the general's tent, and there were always people who knew it. If he could learn this method, he would have another way to defeat the enemy in the future. He could also be more prepared for the enemy's method of breaking the city.

Roto asked again how many Taiping Army was attacking Qingyuan. The Taiping Army wanted to exaggerate the number of Taiping Army, but he wanted the Taiping Army to be in person and could not hide it himself, so he told the truth that the Taiping Army attacking Qingyuan was estimated to have only more than 10,000 people.

"More than ten thousand?"

Roto was stunned. He remembered correctly. When asked for help, Xing Guoan said that he had less than 20,000 troops under his command. This means that Xing Guoan was defeated by Taiping Kou, who had only more than 10,000 troops. Even if the Taiping Kou had the means of destroying the city such as gunpowder wall, the battle would be too bad, or Xing Guoan was too incompetent.

Xing Guoan could not defend himself, so he had to keep his head silent. The Han generals and several surrendered generals in Dingnan Fan were also proud of Roto, the Manchu royal family. Because of his previous two defeats, Alzin would not be able to take advantage of the situation. He said in front of Roto that the wrong person in Xing Guoan was not. Otherwise, if Roto asked questions, he would be disgraced.

A notice came from the city, saying that the infantry brigade arrived. Roto hurriedly asked Xing Guoan to take people to pick up Li Benshen and Zhang Yong and others. After more than 9,000 green camp soldiers entered the city, the already small Hechi City suddenly seemed a little crowded. This crowding does not mean that so many people cannot be accommodated in the city, but that many places were set on fire by the defeated soldiers, so that there were not so many houses for the Qing soldiers to live in.

Hechi City originally had Tongzhi appointed by the Qing army, but after the Taiping Army came, the Tongzhi ran away with the seal. The Guangxi Governor's Office of the Taiping Army appointed a new Hechi Prefecture Official, but after the Qing army arrived, the prefecture official also ran away with wooden stamps. Therefore, there are no officials in the city now, and even the yamen run away. Most of the people in the city also went to the countryside to take refuge, so the Qing army has been plundering the city until now, but has not found much food.

The Luotuo tribe came down from Guizhou for a period of time along the way, relying on grain harvesting along the way. If it weren't for the Guangxi Governor Chen Weixin who retreated to Duyun, he would have raised a batch of military rations to deliver, Luotuo would probably not be able to get out of Guizhou. However, the batch of military rations provided by Chen Weixin could only support the Luotuo tribe for five or six days. The straight Guoan side would definitely have no hope. When he withdrew from Liuzhou, he almost discarded all the baggage and did not have much military ration. He would have been driven by the Taiping Army from Qingyuan all the way, so how could he still bring military rations?

After Li Benshen and Zhang Yong, Liu Fangming, Gao Di, Bai Guangen and other Han generals entered the city, Roto convened the generals to discuss.

Li Benshen turned out to be the nephew of the Ming general Gao Jie, and like Li Chengdong, they were both generals under Gao Jie. After Gao Jie's death, Li Benshen took over Gao Jie's admiral and later surrendered Duoduo, Prince of Yu, with Li Chengdong. After Li Chengdong went south to capture Guangdong, he found that he was conscientious and returned to the Ming Dynasty again. However, Li Benshen had been working for the Qing court. In the eighth year of Shunzhi, after Hong Chengchou became the governor of the five provinces, he asked Li Benshen to serve as the admiral of the left Biao and transferred Gansu general Zhang Yong to serve as the admiral of the right Biao.

After the Battle of Mopanshan, Hong Chengchou suggested to Doni that Li Benshen should be appointed as the admiral of Guizhou and Zhang Yong should be appointed as the admiral of Yunnan. However, due to the major changes in the northern line, the two appointments were temporarily put on hold. This time, Hong Chengchou asked him and the two to go north with Roto, hoping that they would make military achievements, so that they could be legitimately appointed as the admiral of Guizhou and Yunnan.

Liu Fangming was originally the general of Liugou of the Ming Dynasty. After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty in the second year of Shunzhi, he was transferred to the general of Ningxia. He was highly valued by Meng Qiaofang, the governor of the trilateral, appointed by the Qing court. In the 14th year of Shunzhi, he was transferred to Jiangning and then entered the southwest with Zhao Butai, the general of the Southern Expedition. After Zhao Butai was dismissed from office in the Battle of Mopanshan, Liu Fangming was transferred to the tent of the left admiral Li Benshen by Hong Chengchou, and this time he went north with Roto.

Bai Guangen was originally a general of the Ming Dynasty. During the Songshan War, he made some military achievements. Later, he returned to Shaanxi to deal with Sun Chuanting. Tongguan City was broken and defeated in Guyuan. He was besieged by Li Zicheng's army and surrendered, and was valued by Li Zicheng. After Li Zicheng's death, he turned himself into the Qing Dynasty. The Qing court did not value it. He only transferred it to the Han army's Zhenghuang banner to serve as an idle official position. It was not until Hong Chengchou became the governor of the five provinces that he listened to it under Hong Chengchou. However, he had never gained great use. This time, Bai Guangen invited himself to go north and wanted to get some military achievements.

Gao Di was the former general of Mingshan Haiguan, while Wu Sangui was the general general of the Liaodong regiment. Gao Di had more than 10,000 soldiers from Guanning, 30,000 local chariots, and Wu Sangui had 40,000 Liao soldiers. Wu Sangui first surrendered to Li Zicheng and then regretted surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, but Gao Di was unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. He and Wu Sangui were in Shihe, west of Shanhaiguan, and Jiumenkou, Funing County. Both of them were defeated by Wu Sangui's army and could only lead the army to retreat. After Wu Sangui let the Qing army enter the pass, Gao Di had no way to go and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and still ordered Shanhai to

General Guan was later the General of Kaigui, Henan. In the tenth year of Shunzhi, Gao Di wrote a letter to ask for a leave of absence. Because the war in the south was repeated, the Qing court refused to allow him to serve under Hong Chengchou's tent. Since entering the southwest, Gao Di has never led an army. First, he is old, and second, he has been in poor health after he arrived in Guizhou, and it is difficult to get a horse to kill the enemy. Like Bai Guangen, Gao Di also asked himself to go north this time, but he wanted to end the war and wrote a letter to ask for a leave of absence, and he had no intention of staying in Yunnan and Guizhou for a long time.

After all the generals arrived, Roto asked the front Guoan to briefly explain the situation in Guangxi, and asked Alzin to tell the fact that military rations could only last for three or five days. Then he asked the generals to make a resolution, and the result of the resolution was naturally a quick battle.

If you fight quickly, you have to organize an attack. Organizing an attack will inevitably lead to coordination among the various armies. Although Roto is the highest among the Qing army and is an authentic Qing noble, in this situation that requires the assistance of the Han army, he will not give any face to the generals of the Green Camp. Instead, he said to the generals of the Green Camp with kind words: "The King Pingxi in the southwest has driven Zhu Youlang to the Myanmar state. The general is determined to want King Pingxi to enter Myanmar to capture and kill Zhu Youlang. Once Zhu Youlang dies, the situation in Yunnan can be stable. However, now the Ming army in Guangdong suddenly entered the west and occupied Guangxi and Hunan. The Prince Ping's side did not advance for a long time, so he pointed to Guangxi. In this battle, in order to completely annihilate the Taiping bandits in Guangxi and retake Guangxi, the situation in the southwest will be completely alive. Therefore, I hope that the generals will use their lives to win in one fell swoop!"

"The general just asks to serve the court. We are definitely not a person who winces!"

The generals including Xian Guoan, Li Benshen, Zhang Yong, Bai Guangen and others rushed to answer.

Roto nodded. He still had some understanding of Li Benshen, Zhang Yong and others, especially Zhang Yong, who was a rare brave general, and his troops in the Shaanxi-Gansu camp were even more elite. If all the generals worked hard and each bravely took the lead, there would be a great chance of winning in this battle.

Bai Guangen suddenly said: "Since Zhu Youlang has abandoned his country and fled to Myanmar, Zhu Ming has lost his orthodox. He thought he might as well tell the Taiping generals who were leading the army on the opposite side. If the other party knew that their emperor had abandoned his country, he would probably be shaken."

"This strategy is great!"
