Chapter 502: The meritorious work is also Master Zuo
"Mr. Ji, hurry up and make someone block the gap!"
With Xiang Rong's envoy, Zhang Liangji can't care about any high position now. The key is to defend Changsha. As long as he guards Changsha, he can kowtow to Xiang Rong!
"Master Futai, there are still too few people who have a lot of money on a hundred people, and there are not many people who have climbed the city wall. How about Qianwen?"
"I care about the fucking thousands of people, hundreds of people. As long as I can defend the city, I can still make a fortune!"
The literati Zhang Liangji swears, which shows that the situation in Changsha City is so tense. With Zhang Liangji's orders, Zuo Zongtang also ordered people to shout at the top of his throat, "A thousand words are a stone, that's a lot of money!"
The war on the gap was too tragic. At first, many people went up, but after they came back, these people said nothing, which was too miserable! They were scared to see it!
The opening of the city wall could not be blocked, so Changsha was over. It was impossible to point to the green camp soldiers at all. It was still a brick and stone that was silent. Zuo Zongtang had been willing to raise the price before, but one thousand cents were not a small amount, two thousand cents were one tael of silver. I’m afraid that if I say that, the Futai Lord’s vassal treasury would not be able to stand it!
Is there anyone who has worked hard if the price is raised ten times? There are really! And there are quite a few more. After a few shouts, the city was filled with officials and people. With such a block, the stones could not be transported upwards.
"A single word long snake formation! The transport stones under the city and the ones on the city are really not enough, and it's enough to push people down!"
Transportation becomes a problem. Throwing stones is simple, but it is difficult to distribute money. Before everyone can unite, the internal chaos begins. Zuo Zongtang’s task is to block the gap. As for what is thrown down the city wall, he can’t control it, nor can he!
In order to make money, with the command of the Governor's Office, a few people were lost in the early stage, and stones started to rain on the city walls on both sides of the torn large holes. Stones as big as human heads were thrown from a height of six or seven meters, which was also quite lethal.
The stone rain at the top of the city suddenly disrupted the battle formations confronting below. There were stones thrown on the top of the city, but no matter whether there were hairy thieves or official troops below, their task was to block the gap.
The heavy rain stones not only caused heavy casualties in the Taiping Army, but also caused many Qing army to block the gap. The people on the city were not fools, just pointing at the stones and blocking the gap. How long does it take to smash people? This is a good way. After checking the forehead, one is one. As for whether it is an official army or a hairy thief, it is the same. Anyway, they are all goods for building walls.
The one who can't stand such a smashing method is the official army. The grandsons on the city are poisonous! When throwing stones, they are smashing them one by one. There are so many people there, crying and cursing, which makes the gap very lively.
"I fuck you, the left mule, you're all your own people! You can't let the one above see it and then throw it away?"
Looking at the tragic phenomenon in the gap, Xiang Rong couldn't help it, and ran and jumped to Zuo Zongtang. He pulled up his neck and was about to get started.
The people in the southwest corner of the city wall were Xiang Rong's subordinates, so he was not very angry. These piles of stones killed at least a few hundred people, and they were his own people!
"Just a few people died. If the long-haired thief was allowed to enter the city, how many people would die from the whole city? There will always be someone jumping in the fire pit, otherwise how could this huge hole be blocked?
If Xiang Junmen has a good idea, I will let them stop. This stone is a huge sum of money, which is also a huge expense!”
Zuo Zongtang replied calmly, and Xiang Rong's hand pulling his collar also let go. This is the truth. If Xiang Rong had a trick, he would have used it long ago. Would he have to stare at a poor and slutty beard?
"Master Futai, you have to pay off the money with your feet and legs, otherwise no one will do this business next time you block the gap."
"Mr. Ji, please relax. I will let someone bring money here. Let's block the gap and pay the money at the same time!"
Seeing that things were promising, Zhang Liangji was also very proud. With boxes of silver as a backing, the work on the city wall was getting faster and faster. In half a day, a pile of bricks and stones more than one meter high was blocked in the gap seven or eight meter wide in the southwest corner.
There were rocks piled up at the feet, and there were swords of the Qing army in front of them. There were stones like heavy rain on their heads. They couldn't stand firmly and could not get in. The Taiping Army was stuck in the gap. The bigger the battle, the less confident it was. Lin Fengxiang, the general of the Taiping Army who was commanding the siege, knew that the fighter's opportunity had been lost, and he missed the great opportunity.
Helpless! There was no war, so he could only retreat with regret. In this battle, the Qing army fought very well, such as blocking the gap, repairing the city wall, and the earth attack method set by the Heavenly King and the East King, which was probably difficult to achieve success in the future.
After retreating to the camp, Lin Fengxiang carefully explained this idea. Changsha City could not be captured for a long time, so it was time to leave.
Although Lin Fengxiang’s idea is good, Hong Xiuquan is unwilling to accept it! The city walls of such a huge Changsha City have fallen twice. If you use your strength, you may not be able to go to Changsha!
Hunan is rich. If it cannot take root in Hunan, where else should it take root?
"The King of Heaven, the situation in Changsha is almost the same as that in Guilin, we cannot suffer another loss."
It is not a waste of fighting against Guilin. Dong Wang Yang Xiuqing is not optimistic about the situation in Changsha. He has been fighting for nearly two months. If he continues to drag it down, he is afraid he will be blocked in Changsha again.
"I will fight again, and I won't retreat again if I don't! I won't believe it!"
Ambition is proportional to strength. Compared with Guangxi, the strength of the Taiping Army had expanded by at least ten times, with fewer family troops, but there were more soldiers fighting, and even Changsha could not be taken down. Hong Xiuquan was unwilling to accept it.
"What the King of Heaven said is, should we also take into account the way out?"
"We are backed by Xiangjiang River, and there are countless ships, and we are considering the way out. If it fails, we will just take a boat north like Guilin!"
Hong Xiuquan is concerned about Changsha City now. It doesn’t matter if there is a back road. As long as there is a boat, when can’t you leave Changsha?
Although he did not agree with this statement, Yang Xiuqing couldn't blame Hong Xiuquan in person. He could only wait for this matter. It really didn't work. He had to leave a way out for the army without hiding it!
The battle to defend the city really made Zuo Zongtang show his power. The soldiers underground may not know about Zuo Shi Ye, but the civil and military officials in Changsha City all knew about Zuo Shi Ye's power. This time, Zuo Shi Ye made great contributions. If Zuo Shi Ye did not plan the strategy, Changsha City would have been lost long ago.
Zuo Zongtang's performance was very prominent. Zhang Liangji admired him very much, but no matter how much he admired him, he still couldn't let him go. In Hunan now, Zhang Liangji could have any vacancies in prefectures and counties for Zuo Zongtang, but Zhang Liangji was no longer able to use him when he got him out. In order to stabilize Zuo Zongtang, Zhang Liangji simply handed the seal to Zuo Zongtang.
With Yang Meng's ability, he was like a thing like Shi Dakai and was still working, but playing with Zuo Mule can only use a trick to convince Zuo Mule. Yang Meng thought that he didn't have the ability, and if he didn't do it well, he would be convinced by him to control his family and make Zuo family related to the Yang family. At that time, this matter would be much easier.
"Master, you have so many people under your command. Why don't you pay attention to this? Look at what you just said, it doesn't look like a polite and polite person? It's like a mountain king who is recruiting people into the group!"
Gu Yayue is a gentle person. Although Yang Meng is funny, she still has to maintain her image as a man.
"Hey! I have this kind of virtue, I can't change it. We can't do the right way, we will play tricks and fight hard!"
It may be very important to be open and upright? But Yang Meng is always unable to escape the dark path when doing things. When encountering things, he wants to tricks and acts with ruthless tricks. Yang Meng is not used to using open and upright methods.
"Master, and that's right, the house you designed for Zuo Zongtang seems to have many over-the-counter places, and many craftsmen dare not take action! It is said that building such a house will easily be punished by the court!"
"Don't worry about him going to die! I will do this as I said. I will do whatever I want to do, and I don't want to get out!"
