Xiao Chaogui's more than a thousand elite soldiers were still holding hands against two or three thousand Qing army green camp soldiers. Although the Shimapu was stationed in the northwest, the old soldiers on the Jiubian were defeated as early as the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

Although the two thousand northwest green camps of Fucheng, the general of Xi'an Town, have a great reputation, their combat power is also heartbreaking. Fucheng's military and horses are considered reinforcements from other provinces. Their time to arrive in Changsha was too short, and many things were adapting to it.

The fact that the foothold was not stable is a portrayal of this team. Xiao Chaogui came in a hurry, and Fucheng and others caught him off guard. At first they thought this was reinforcements from their colleagues! But when they walked in, it was not the case at all. The one who brought the marching smoke was actually Changmao.

The attacker and the attacker were full of confidence, and the other was in a daze and was just a little by little. The result of the battle was clear. Xiao Chaogui's men broke Fucheng's central army in anger. General Fucheng was killed in battle, and Deputy General Yin Peili was killed in battle.

In the early stage, Xiao Chaogui did a good job in the early stage, but there were flaws in the later stage. In terms of strength, Xiao Chaogui's more than a thousand men had the strength to annihilate Fucheng Xi'an Town. As long as he surrounded the front and back, or fought from the back, there was great potential.

It was just this Xiao Chaogui, a powerful general! He broke the camp on the road ahead, and although the battle was vigorous and the momentum was unparalleled, it also gave the Qing army a chance to disperse, and it dispersed towards Changsha.

If you can't run or walk, it is the Green Camp soldiers who usually march. Now, the Taiping Army's knife will be stabbed into "piyan". If you don't run away at this time, you will have no chance to run away in the future. In the face of life and death, even the big smoke ghosts will run faster than the rabbit.

Although Xiao Chaogui's march was fast, he could only think about it. These turtles ran too fast. He was chasing and was not easy to kill if he chased after him, so he let them go.

After receiving Fucheng's weapons, Xiao Chaogui's good luck did not end there. Outside Changsha City, Shimapu, ten miles away from the city, was stationed in Xi'an Town, a reinforcement from other provinces, and seven miles away from the city. There was also a man, that is, the Yuanzhou soldiers of Zhu Han, the local Green Camp deputy general. Their guns and firearms were much more than those of Fucheng.

After seeing Fucheng's defeated army, Zhu Han also took out the decisiveness of the leading general, threw down his weapons, turned around and fled. He first obtained some of Fucheng's equipment, and Zhu Han's guns, cannons and armored guards. Xiao Chaogui's strength was pulled out several levels at once.

Unfortunately, he had too few people, and only a thousand five cats and dogs. Although there were many seizures, they could not use more than a thousand people. In the local battle, Xiao Chaogui won a great victory and dispersed nearly five thousand Green Camp troops. However, he had very few losses.

With few soldiers and many weapons, Xiao Chaogui also had the intention to expand his army. In Chaling, some locals wanted to follow Xiao Chaogui but he refused. Siege was a job of hiring people. At this time, they could be considered a job of using them. They left dozens of soldiers to guard the extra swords and guns, and arranged people to pick up the new recruits from Chaling. However, Xiao Chaogui was not idle and headed straight to the south gate of Changsha.

After defeating Fucheng and Zhu Han's team, God is giving Xiao Chaogui a chance! The Qing army's number clothes and armor were everywhere, and the fleeing Qing army also headed straight to Changsha. At this time, as long as Xiao Chaogui ordered the army to change into the Qing army's number clothes and make a profit, there would be no suspense.

But the title of the Taiping Army's number one general cannot be wasted. Those who are both wise and brave are not called powerful generals. Xiao Chaogui failed to seize the opportunity everywhere, but went straight to the south gate of Changsha City.

The light army advanced rapidly, what was the attack? It was a sudden attack. When it arrived at the South Gate of Changsha, Xiao Chaogui still fought steadily. He first occupied the Miaogaofeng gunfire, and then occupied the houses outside the South Gate, and some more dangerous positions.

He rushed to Changsha but did not attack the city as soon as possible. Maybe Xiao Chaogui was afraid of the strong city of Changsha? But this is not the case. After occupying these places, his siege battle was still quite fierce. The reason can only be attributed to his ability. Xiao Chaogui is good at grasping local fighter opportunities, but his ability to control the overall situation is too poor.

In the battle of Shimapu, we could not have fought. Although Xiao Chaogui's men and horses did not suffer much loss, killing Shimapu not only wastes time, but also causes many defeated troops to retreat to Changsha. These defeated troops not only saved their lives, but also brought news of the Taiping Army's invasion to Changsha City.

If you bypass these thousands of people and directly attack Changsha, maybe Xiao Chaogui will be able to climb the head of Changsha in minutes, or maybe when Xiao Chaogui hits Changsha, it is the time when the four doors are opened, and rushing in will be considered successful.

But there is not so much reality. Maybe God gave Xiao Chaogui countless opportunities, and he only seized the opportunity to attack.

At this time, the city of Changsha was even more ignorant than Fucheng. The people went to the Governor's Yamen to report the news of the Taiping Army's attack, but were captured as a rumor-producing incident. Hundreds of defeated troops retreated into Changsha. The Governor's Yamen didn't know where the defeated troops were.

Fortunately, the Qing army guarding the city gate was afraid of death. When they saw the defeated soldiers, they hurriedly closed all seven gates of Changsha City. Once the city gate was closed, they shattered Xiao Chaogui's hope of fighting in Changsha.

Although the city gate was closed, there was no idea where the bandits came from above and below Changsha City. If Xiao Chaogui was more decisive, or if his number was more than five or six thousand, Changsha would still be able to fight.

But Xiao Chaogui is now preparing for the siege position based on Guilin's experience. He doesn't look at the thousands of people behind him. Only these thousands of people can't even block the southern gate of Changsha in front of him, so he can't mention any siege position.

There is no reason why Changsha City is slow to react. Now Changsha City is a leaderless land. Former Hunan Governor Luo Bingzhang has stepped down and is going to the capital to seek a high position. Now it is the critical moment of his career, and the fool is going to disturb the muddy waters of Changmao!

Governor-General, Jiang minister, was not the only one in Changsha City, but also a former governor of Hubei Luo Raudian. But the matter was not up to you. These people could do it. If they were to be in battle, they would have been scared away long ago.

The leading general is not without Changsha City. Hunan Admiral Bao Qibao is in charge of Changsha. However, this Qing Dynasty emphasizes culture and neglects military affairs. Bao Qibao? He is not even as good as a Taoist official, and he dances in Changsha City. Are you looking for death?

Without the governor in charge of the overall situation, the civil servants below also became turtles and shirked responsibility. The messy upper class created a messy lower class. There were a lot of people in Changsha City, and there were eight or nine thousand soldiers in the green camp. After a busy day, Changsha's defense was no different from not.

This is also Xiao Chaogui's mistake. When fighting, we should focus on fighting with fast and slow, fighting with preparation and not being prepared, and attacking the city without preparation, seeking victory in chaos. This is the magic weapon for Xiao Chaogui to win with insufficient troops. Unfortunately, Xiao Chaogui missed this great opportunity again. After the army occupied the favorable terrain of the South Gate of Changsha, the King of the Western King actually ordered the army to rest and siege the city tomorrow.

After half a day and night, the chaos in Changsha City also eased to a certain extent. Although the civil servants shirked each other, it was a duty for military generals to defend the city. Hunan Admiral Bao Qibao went up to the city tower, and Changsha's city defense finally had a leader.

Changsha is not like Guilin. The imperial court had long speculated that the Taiping Army would attack Changsha. Not only were there eight or nine thousand soldiers in Changsha, but there were also guns, artillery and firearms. Although there was a saying that Guilin Mansion was born and attacked Changsha City, Guilin was always a place to rely on the sky to make a living. It was not like Changsha. It was a man-made city with high walls and thick walls. With sufficient firearms, it was nearly ten times that of Xiao Chaogui's soldiers. If he could not defend the city, it would be really a joke.

Changsha was prepared. Although Xiao Chaogui's offensive the next day was fierce, it was just a situation of no effort. Standing on the top of the city, shooting arrows, shooting guns, firing artillery, and children could do things. No matter how bad the Qing soldiers were, they could barely do these things.

A team of more than a thousand people attacked the city walls guarded by more than ten thousand people. If they were lost, they would be evenly matched. If they didn’t, they could only be called a scoundrel shaking a tree.

Not only did he fight for a day without any results, but he also lost his troops and generals. Xiao Chaogui was unhappy, and he fought well all the way. He was unhappy. He fought well before, but why couldn't he fight when he arrived in Changsha? He scolded his generals. Although Xiao Chaogui was willing to fight again, the team of less than a thousand people was extremely tired and could only wait for another fight tomorrow.

The siege that lasted for one day defeated nearly 40% of Xiao Chaogui's soldiers. These were all veterans of the Taiping Army! It was no problem to point at those hundreds of people and expand into an army of 10,000 or 20,000. It was very unwise to consume the blood of the Taiping Army in vain.

The next day's siege was still fierce, but there was still no result. Xiao Chaogui was really anxious. He rolled up his arms and sleeves, and stepped out of the position and had to go into battle himself. If his generals were to dissuade him, he was determined to fight Changsha personally.

Such a scene often means that there is no return, and it often means tragedy. The Yong'an system and the Taiping Army kings all have their own outfits. The robe of the Minghuang king is a symbol of the top leaders. Xiao Chaogui's bright lantern-punching and walking into the battlefield, how can he not kill?

With a small projectile and a sparse seed, the Qing army at the top of the city solved the bright Western King Xiao Chaogui. This time, Xiao Chaogui was shot, which was a little different from Feng Yunshan. Feng Yunshan was riding on a horse at that time and was not easy to aim. Xiao Chaogui walked towards the top of the city carelessly, which was really a pity. There was no chance of life after one shot.

Xiao Chaogui, who could surrender to Brother Tian, ​​suffered again. Xiao Chaogui died, and his subordinates did not dare to attack the city. With hundreds of veterans and more than a thousand new recruits who came to support Chaling, wouldn’t he betray Changsha like the King of the West and betray himself?

The incident of the Western King Xiao Chaogui's death and the air defense of Changsha City was spread to Chenzhou. Xiao Chaogui's provisions of Ji Wenyuan, Li Kaifang, and Lin Fengxiang did not dare to attack the city anymore. They could only maintain the siege positions opened by the Western King outside Changsha City. As long as these dangerous places were not lost, the Taiping Army would still have hope of capturing Changsha.

A good battle was defeated by the reckless Xiao Chaogui and the Western King was killed. The Taiping Army had to take revenge, and the empty Changsha city defense was also an opportunity for the Taiping Army.

The Taiping Army is different from when he was in Guilin. Now it is really a big soldier and a wide range of generals. It is unreasonable not to attack Changsha!

When the Taiping Army was preparing to attack Changsha, the Qing army around them were also entering the city one after another. After all, Ji Wenyuan and others had too few troops, and they didn't even think they could defend the frontier positions. It was out of reach to prevent the Qing army from entering the city!

Yang Meng, who was building a Wuzhuang farmhouse and a flood control dam on the shore of Dongting Lake, heard the news that Xiao Chaogui had died in battle, but just smiled for no reason. Perhaps this was the fate of Mr. Shi!

He has no intention of dealing with what the Taiping Army is like and what the Qing Army is like now. He is talking about the 800-mile Dongting fish and rice land. But after he arrived, Yang Meng realized how fucked this was. It was the rainy season. Once the flood flooded, the 800-mile Dongting was a huge flood discharge site. The so-called 800-mile Dongting refers to the flooded Dongting Lake. Usually, Dongting Lake is only about four or five hundred miles away.

Yang Meng had wondered before, why is the surrounding area of ​​Dongting Lake sparsely populated? After knowing this, he was helpless. Although it only took a few days, Yang Meng invested a lot around Dongting Lake. Now it is difficult to get down. Dongting Lake is just one. The adjacent Jingjiang and the embankments of the Yangtze River need to be reinforced one by one.

Due to the ineffective suppression of bandits, Zou Heming, the governor of Guangxi, was dismissed and questioned, was also robbed by Yang Meng. This man was a waste in governing the country and fighting, but he was still somewhat capable of controlling water.

Looking at the endless Dongting Lake, Yang Meng was full of bitterness. He would have known that he would not have chosen this place. If he had built a dike and built a dam, he would probably have invested all the money he stolen from Hong Xiuquan, which would not be enough!
