And on the hilltop of Guyinping Pass/Fushui Pass in Longzhou (near Nanba Town, Pingwu County, Sichuan).

When I saw the road winding by the river again, this pioneering team that had crossed countless hills and streams and reduced nearly half of the staff; whether it was Li Hanzhi, who could not hide his fatigue or Li Cunzhang, he could not help but feel a kind of kindness and gratitude.

Although it is still surrounded by mountains and flows in the Fu River. The dangerous peaks and walls stand straight into the clouds and sky; the river flows under the pass, and the turbid waves are rolling. But at least I walked out of the vast mountains and had such a road for normal access.

However, Wang Guoer, the Yuhou who was accompanying the army, still looked a little bad-looking, and stared at Li Hanzhi, who was covered in blood and evil spirits without showing any weakness. Because in the battle between Shimen Village not long ago, he was just negligent and Chi Na and stayed in the back team to place the wounded, so the guest general defeated Shimen Village and left no living person.

You should know that in the army, they wantonly kill prisoners, especially for no reason, have always been a matter of explicitly prohibited and severe punishment in the Taiping Army. Although many people can prove that it was the result of the defenders' attempt to resist and escape; this was not the same as the vanguard's vanguard, which in disguise reduced the burden and bondage.

However, the other party's indifferent attitude of ignoring human life made him a little alert and cautious. However, he remembered again that he had been specially assigned to the tasks and responsibilities before he went out.

After all, this person has many criminal records. In his early years, he not only gathered people to join Huang Chao, but also abandoned him when the army went south and surrendered to Gao Pian as the governor of the court. Later, he joined forces with Duojia. Although he is now working for the Taiping Army, he is a problematic personnel and key target of supervision with many black history.

Of course, how could Li Hanzhiyu, who had experienced too many changes in his vague attitudes, not knowing that he had experienced too many masters? But he felt that he was a little used to it; after all, everyone was like this. Even Zhuge Envoy, who claimed to be the most generous and kind, would inevitably send several relatives around him, thinking that he was in disguise.

Therefore, compared to these people who are inevitably flirting with their faces all day long, they often warn and restrain all aspects of the guards; he obviously prefers to stay with the talented officials in the camp, the order of catching students, the investigation and the selection of the leader. The former can always bring him different feelings of change, while the latter is easier to resonate with bravery and skills.

Li Hanzhi was slowly thinking about it, while drinking the prepared tea soup, he knocked the hard biscuits with a strong sweet and salty taste into small pieces with the back of a knife, then pounded it into a bit in his helmet, poking and swallowing it in his mouth. Li Cunzhang, who had a limp leg, walked over and whispered:

"Don't let it go, fortunately I'll walk out, otherwise I'm afraid I won't last long... Many people's legs and feet are worn out."

He randomly took it off his back and spread out a roll of greased paper maps with severe wear and gestured roughly:

"The guy who went down has confirmed that he has crossed the road. Here, he goes south along the river several miles away, and it is the location of Jiangyoucheng, the capital of Longzhou.."

"good!"

Li Hanzhi couldn't help but say decisively:

"After a little rest, we will go to Jiangyoucheng..."

"Do you have to wait for the back team to follow, and now more than 800 people have emerged...

Li Cunzhang said in a difficult face:

"We have all come to this point. Is it just the last effort that is not enough?"

Li Hanzhi decided to knock on the unfolded simple map:

"... Only by taking advantage of his unpreparedness to capture Jiangyou City, there will be a place for food, grass, wealth, and cultivation. Then, go directly to Changming (now Jiangyou City, Sichuan). Whether it is Jiange or Jianmen Pass, the defenders have become enemies from both sides."

However, what surprised Li Cunzhang next was that after Li Hanzhi announced the decision, these Taiping soldiers agreed without complaint and were naturally divided into two parts: one big and one small; few of them were wounded people who were not good at Yu Xing, staying to wait for the subsequent mule and horse team to supplement.

The remaining more than 600 soldiers, who were silently prepared for equipment and medicine, checked the dry food and equipment, and soon completed the preparation for a new start in an orderly manner. This obedience and efficiency made Li Hanzhi sigh again;

Such a team that was persevering and persevering and hard-working, even if it was placed in the former northern part of the country, it was a good man in the area; it could be used as a choice for personal and gangs to occupy a foundation. However, in this Taiping Army, it was just a vanguard force temporarily drawn among the many battalions of Shanxi Counterattack Army along the north.

After only a few hours, the group of people arrived at the Jiangyou City, which was facing the river three times but seemed a little desolate. However, under the surging river water, the Wuwhistle Mountain wind, and the slanting mountains of the sun, they approached a hundred steps away from the north gate, one of the three gates, before someone was shocked on the top of the city and shouted loudly and asked.

Then, amid the short drum beats of the knock, the six hundred of them quickly spread out and divided into several attack columns, and rushed towards the city gate without hesitation. Before the open city gate was closed in a hurry, they rushed to the gap where only the sideways passed.

The next moment, a grenadier who rushed to the front suddenly staggered, but was tripped onto the ground by the obstacle thrown away; the bomb in his hand also rolled out. Seeing that the rumbling city gate was about to close completely, Li Cunzhang, who was following, picked up the detonating bomb like a flying one, stepped on the corner of the door and pulled the line and threw it in.

The next moment, I heard a sound of touch, and with the gray smoke and screams bursting out from the gap, the closing momentum of the city gate came to an abrupt end. Then several soldiers who rushed forward one after another came forward and held the city gate together with Li Cunzhang, and slowly pushed open the closed city gate.

At this time, the boat was roaring and scolding on the top of the city, and the movement of archery and falling rocks, but it still could not threaten the pioneers who rushed into the door. They took the grenade who had climbed up and rolled up, regardless of the rubbing and blood-scraping arms, and took off the remaining few grenades in the upper hood of the waist, and almost threw them into the doorway one after another.

The next moment, the figures of defenders who were surging from the smoke and dust in the doorway were screaming and rolling into the ground in the bursts of sparks and smoke balls. The doorway was cleaned up again. At this time, Li Cunzhang also pulled out his horizontal sword and double-shot short guns, and without hesitation, he drove along the city gate that was rushing inwardly by the stones.

All this was just a battle between several moments of lightning. When the vanguard team led by Li Cunzhang rushed out of the doorway and turned to the stairs leading to the gate tower, and continued to attack and slaughter, more Taiping soldiers also roared and roared into the state city along the doorway they opened.

The local group trainees and village soldiers recruited by themselves on the city wall suddenly collapsed in morale. They made shrill screams and screams like "The Demons are Coming", and then turned around and ran away, trying to stay away from these "Demons" soldiers who came out of the fireworks at all costs.

So when the sky darkened, there were two gates on the three gates of Jiangyou Ancient City, and the location of the state yamen, all of which were floating in the Taiping Green Banner. The only south gate that had not yet taken over was pushed and trampled out, and many officials and civilians ran out.

Some of them fled to the river boat on the bank of the Nanmen River and then left the river to the undescended place in the south; at the same time, they also brought the news that the Taiping army was approaching Jiangyou to the rear of Jianzhou.

Therefore, Li Shouzhen, who was in the front line of Jianmen Pass, received the situation in Jiangyou from Pu'an City (now Jiange County, Sichuan) in the rear. It was already two days later. His persistence here for three days and four nights was not very easy.

Because although he successfully defeated and blocked the offensive of the bandits, he obviously underestimated the imagination and creativity of the bandits. Since the Mati Gorge in front of the pass was unable to transport and unfold the direct shooting power of larger firearms, they simply took the opportunity to make their own ideas from other places.

As a result, the Mati Gorge clifftop and Lingtou trail, which were occupied by the official army and the bandit army, became the new focus of fierce fighting between the two sides. The bandit army, regardless of damage, removed (beaten to death, blow up) and forced several official troops guarding the clifftop and Lingtou step by step, and slashed away (beat to death, blow up) and forced them to retreat.

Then, after they obtained the cliff top position facing Jianmenguan, they transported several small cannons out of air conditioning at any cost. So from the day before yesterday, the pass was shot from a high place, throwing stones to suppress the attacking defenders, and they had to endure the continuous bombardment from the opposite cliff top.

Although the continuous radiation interval between these small cannons was quite limited, and the casualties caused by the wall were actually quite limited, it greatly damaged and weakened the morale of the defenders, destroyed and destroyed many equipment that defended the city, which once led to the collapse and mutiny on the wall.

So, after hearing that Longzhou Prefecture City Jiangyou had fallen, and that he, as the foundation of Jianzhou Pu'an, Wulian, Huang'an and other places, might also be threatened by the enemy, Li Shouzhen made a decision without hesitation; he divided his troops to defend and intercept the thief because he could not bear the loss of his foundation and was attacked from both sides.

In fact, he was incredible or unbelievable that these thieves would fly over the Yinping dangerous road that had been blocked and broken through the road in such a short time, and suddenly emerged from the rear. He was more willing to believe in the consequences of the scattered changes and civil unrest in the south at this time and were rumored.

Therefore, he was also prepared for both actions. If the thief love was fake, he would wipe it out. If the thief love was real, then after crossing the mountains, he might not have much strength to continue fighting in a short period of time. It was the time for a full counterattack.
