Chapter 492: Iron Hit Changsha City (2)

Luo Dagang was killed and ten thousand troops were defeated in one battle, which was a big blow to the Taiping Army. After the defeated army retreated, some of the new recruits recruited in Chenzhou, Leiyang and other places ran away with the defeated troops.

Running away some new recruits is not a loss for the Taiping Army. Luo Dagang killed by Yang Meng is the real loss. Apart from the Six Kings of the First Rhetoric, Hong Daquan, Hu Yihuang, Luo Dagang, Qin Rigang and others, they are the highest-ranking people in the Taiping Army.

Hong Daquan was captured alive by Ulantai and sent to the capital and cut into pieces. After being tested by the Yong'an breakthrough battle, Qin Rigang had no talent. However, Luo Dagang was a wise and brave general. Luo Dagang's death was definitely a considerable loss to the Taiping Army.

Before Hong Xiuquan was sad, he came to report that Yang Meng's army headed straight to Chenzhou. Luo Dagang had only been gone for more than a day and was killed by Yang Meng. How quickly the battle ended? Hong Xiuquan and others knew that they were afraid that Yang Laosan's army would be like a destruction when they attacked Luo Dagang?

"How to deal with this Yang Laosan?"

Hong Xiuquan's heart is very complicated, but the problem is very simple. Many people in Yang Laosan's army cannot figure out. The choice between Dahe and He was already there when Luo Dagang's death was sent back.

"The King of Heaven, the most important thing at the moment is to find out why Yang Laosan came?"

King Yang Xiuqing of the East also exclaimed in his heart that something was wrong. If Yang Laosan joined the Qing army and served the court, he would be afraid that a great war would inevitably occur. If it was for something else, everything would be easy to discuss.

"Tian Wang, I'm willing to meet Yang Laosan."

Luo Dagang's death was also a bad news for Shi Dakai. Luo Dagang was born into a water bandit and was a man with a strong loyalty in the world. He was able to negotiate with Shi Dakai. Then Brother Yang was so bad that he was so angry that he could die if he reached out.

"The King of Heaven, let the King of Wings go there! Otherwise..."

When we met with Yang Laosan, if he was a hawk from the court, he happened to send Shi Dakai in, except for a worry, it would not be too late to fight again.

"Okay! Nadakai, just go there!"

Yang Meng's arrival put a lot of pressure on the top leaders of the Taiping Army. Shi Dakai dared to speak, but he was watching Yang San Ge fight with the Taiping Army before, but Shi Dakai could not do it.

At this time, there was nothing tactful to say. Hong Xiuquan agreed, and Shi Dakai did not hesitate. He led a team of personal guards to face Yang Meng's soldiers and rushed over.

Yang Meng's army marched, unlike when he was camping, where there were cavalrymen for reconnaissance. More than twenty miles away from the army, Shi Dakai's people were surrounded by Yang Meng's cavalry.

After the name was reported and the news was spread, Shi Dakai walked to Yang Meng safely.

"Here you come, just ask if you have anything to say!"

"Why did the third brother suddenly take action?"

"There is less profit and I can't sell the grain. I said, if you do my business, I have to force you to do it."

"San brother, you started a big kill just for some money?"

The two of them were talking while marching. Yang Meng's reason was too ridiculous. I have never heard of fighting because of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. I stared at Yang Meng in a daze, and Shi Dakai felt very angry.

He felt that Yang Meng must have cast a favour to the court. He faced the Taiping Army for the sake of his official hat. There were not many good officials in the court, and he could count on one finger. If Yang San Ge voted a favour to the court, he would no longer be a good person.

"Not bad! My words are the water that was poured out. How did I tell you at that time? If the transaction cannot be completed, I will do it.

Don’t underestimate these money. I have too many people under my command. I just rely on these money to live. If I come here this time, if I fail to achieve my goal, I will kill all the Taiping Army, hundreds of thousands of people, all the old and young!"

When marching, Yang Meng would not talk about friendship. He was surrounded by generals from the new army. Talking about those things would be a shame.

"Brother Third, is this the truth, just for the sake of business?"

"I don't tell much lies."

"San brother, can you let the army stop and I go and negotiate with the king?"

"Okay! Negotiations are OK, but my army will not stop. Let my managers come to see me. It would be better for those people not to die. If one of them dies, I will kill ten thousand of you.

Go back and tell Hong Xiuquan that I will take care of my people as my father, whether they die of illness or are killed, I will kill ten thousand people of you.

The income from Hunan is divided into 28% and I am eight and you two. My army arrived in Chenzhou and put the property outside the city. There is no property outside the city. The army will start to attack the city at that time!

Go back! Don’t be used as a gun next time. You are the one who comes to me. If someone else changes me, I will send their heads and news back together.

If you fight Changsha, don’t join the war, you will easily die in the military formation. Remember the promise between you and me!"

Shi Dakai sneered when Yang Meng said the conditions, but the last few words made him feel at a loss. He looked at Brother Yang San with an iron expression, and he was confused.

Back in Chenzhou in a daze, Shi Dakai, who was confused, had no intention of organizing words. Yang Meng's army was probably going to fight to Chenzhou in one day, and repeated Yang Meng's words in the original form. The senior Taiping Army present was the way of what nonsense and what Yang Baosai meant.

"It's because of this that he first attacked Daozhou and then killed Luo Dagang?"

"Shi Wang, that's what Yang Meng said."

"Oh... these are considered to be covered with dog skin plaster, Xiuqing, what do you think you should do?"

"As Yang Meng said, do it! Wing King, Yang Meng's army is really a foreign gun that is equipped with all of them?"

Yang Xiuqing also had eyes and ears in Shi Dakai's camp, and this was what Yang Xiuqing really feared.

"Yes! They are all styles I have never seen before, they should be foreign guns!"

Shi Dakai said this against his will. He tried Colt's power, which was amazing. When he was in Yang Meng's army, he also saw that the Yang family's army had a big knife, a long spear, and a short spear on his waist that was the same as his.

Shi Dakai also estimated the number of troops in the army. At least ten thousand people, ten thousand people were ten thousand guns. Six sounds were all ten thousand guns, and they could be completed in an instant. Within thirty or fifty steps, the six sounds of this short gun were enough to deal with the army of 30,000 to 40,000. I am afraid that more than ten thousand men of Brother Yang would be enough to fight the entire Taiping Army.

"Two-eight is twenty-eight, remember not to offend the Yang family's manager in the future!"

Hong Xiuquan slapped the table hard and had to admit his bad luck. When he met this Yang Pai, he had been in trouble for eight lifetimes. He and Yang Xiuqing decided to attack Jiangning in Daozhou. It was really time to do it. He had to get rid of this Yang Pai in the southwest.

Yang Meng's army arrived in Chenzhou and received a large amount of property from the Taiping Army outside the city. After changing to a group of managers, he left Chenzhou overnight and set up a camp in a hidden place in Dongting Lake.

"I informed Ding Taichen of Guangzhou and asked him to arrange five barge fleets to wait for the orders to Dongting Lake. If the Fenjianglong is built, he will also send them together."

Changsha is not a blessed land for the Taiping Army, their blessed land is in Nanjing, which is Jiangning. Dongting Lake is a good area of ​​water. Taking advantage of the chaos in Hunan, it established its largest base along the Yangtze River in Dongting Lake.

Before, Yang Meng had arranged for Wuzhuang and farms along the river, but the fields along the river were all fat fields, so it was not easy to take root here. Although Ding Taichen had made great efforts in this matter before, Yang Meng was not satisfied with it.

The eight hundred miles of Dongting are all the land of fish and rice. Before entering Hunan, Yang Meng chose this area. This time, he took advantage of the Taiping Army's chaos to control all the surrounding Dongting Lake under the Yang family. With Dongting Lake, Yang Meng could cut off the waterways in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River with his hand. From Dongting Lake, the provinces along the river were all under his military front.

Yang Meng and Luo Dagang had a game. Although it was fast and secret, the news was leaked. It was still the mysterious Qing army. After defeating the Taiping army, no one could tell which Qing army it was.

This news is different from Daozhou. Most Qing army generals regarded this matter as a joke. For nothing, which Qing army stationed in Hunan has the ability to defend the Taiping Army? Maybe this is what it said in the comments of which adults?

Hong Xiuquan suffered a great loss from Yang Meng. After knowing the strength of the Yang family, he certainly would not arrange Yang Meng behind his back. This person who can fight for money is hard to guarantee that he will not fight for gossip. The most important thing now is to fight Changsha. Now the Taiping Army has more soldiers and enough food. Although it has been smashed by Yang Laosan for a while, the morale of the army is still available.

Hong Xiuquan is good at self-comfort, but Yang Xiuqing is different. Yang Laosan's existence made him feel a great threat. When Yang Laosan came to Hunan, he was afraid that Hunan would not be a place to stay for a long time. The Taiping Army was established by their princes. He was the Eastern King of the Taiping Army, nine thousand years old. It is absolutely impossible to add another leader to his head!

Although he had the idea of ​​leaving Hunan, Yang Xiuqing also supported the idea of ​​the King of Heaven's desire to fight Changsha. Although there are quite a few Taiping Army now, not many can fight. Fighting Changsha may bring a strong soldier to the Taiping Army. This time, Yang Laosan attacked and Luo Dagang died. Most of the reason was that the soldiers of the Taiping Army were not elite enough and were not so good at fighting.

When fighting Changsha, the Western King Xiao Chaogui volunteered to break through several cities in the early stage, which also gave Xiao Chaogui extremely confidence. He didn't like the new recruits, but he was still able to fight with more than a thousand old teams in his hands.

As the first powerful general of the Taiping Army, Xiao Chaogui knew that the new recruits would weaken the combat effectiveness of veterans and attack Changsha. He believed that as long as the marching speed was fast, the Changsha City would be his belongings.

The King of Western insisted that the King of Heaven Hong Xiuquan certainly did not object. As the ally of the King of Western King, Yang Xiuqing also hoped that Xiao Chaogui's military achievements would become greater and greater. Now there was no King of Southern. The two of them worked together, and perhaps this power could be further.

Although Shi Dakai was a little angry with Yang Meng, he still obeyed Yang Meng's opinions and did not say much about fighting Changsha. As for the Northern King, he would be able to fight chores, but he would not be able to lead troops to fight!

The Western King Xiao Chaogui led his troops to attack Changsha was unanimously approved. The Western King also showed his face and brought his capable generals Ji Wenyuan, Li Kaifang, Lin Fengxiang, and Xiao Chaogui confidently set out from Chenzhou, conquering Yongxing, Anren, Youxian, Chaling, Liling and other prefectures and counties. It is not counted as the time of marching, but almost a city will be won every day.

Xiao Chaogui's record greatly encouraged the morale of the Taiping Army. The record of one city a day also made Xiao Chaogui's self-confidence expand. One day he went to Changsha was his goal.

The more the battle was, the more smooth the soldiers were, the more powerful they were. When they fought near Changsha, a Qing army camp blocked Xiao Chaogui's pace of advance.

The more you fight this battle, the more experience you have. Xiao Chaogui could have passed the Qing army stationed in Shimapu, but the Western King looked at the cannons in the Qing army camp. This was a powerful weapon for siege!

The stone horse pavilion is only ten miles away from Changsha. After dealing with these Qing troops, the chances of winning against Changsha City will be much greater.

The so-called loss of big things because of small mistakes, and the so-called brave generals are not wise. This is the case. Xiao Chaogui marched too fast on Changsha City and had not yet received news of Xiao Chaogui's invasion. If he followed the example and learned the strategy of earning the city by the Dead Guy Luo Dagang under Guilin City, he would not say that Xiao Chaogui could really conquer Changsha City, but most of the shortcomings that most of the fierce generals had were as good as Xiao Chaogui.

Although they were full of talents, these people fought too few wars, and they were all rough men and had too few strategic exams. When they saw good things that were within their reach, they could not move and attacked the camp, which became the common decision made by Xiao Chaogui and his men.

It would be better if Yang Xiuqing followed the army, it would be a pity... (To be continued...)
