On the wilderness gradually faded away from the rainy wilderness outside Changsha City, the figures of fleeing in groups became increasingly rare with the shouts of chasing and coming.

"I can't do it either, you'd better run away quickly."

Wang Shenchao, who was once a history of Gushi County, was now a military officer under the official army, had already run blue and had a pale face, and was in a state of anger at the two brothers who had turned back and dragged him to continue running.

"It seems that it is not far from the mountains and forests. You may have a way to live if you hide in the forest."

"Brother, how can this be done? We agreed to join the army and seek wealth together, and we should go back together to shine our family. What's the point of leaving you?"

The other two brothers, covered in mud, shouted in tears one after another.

"Don't take care of me, you two clumsy guys. One is the most important thing to be able to get rid of the incense at home."

Wang Shenchao waved his hand and shouted and scolded him a little fiercely.

"Even if I can't go back to my hometown in Gushi in Guangzhou (now Xinyang, Henan), I can find a place to stay in a foreign country...

"After knowing, I would have joined the butcher of the king (Xu) and his brother-in-law (Liu Xingquan) in Shouzhou (now Shou County, Anhui Province);"

One of the younger brothers complained in time and was squeaking.

"After all, I'm asking someone to pull over my brothers, so I don't have to work hard to be this foreigner ghost with Li Chou'er."

"I'll stay with you brother...you can take a step first."

Another staggering figure approached with a branch, but his cousin Wang Yanfu, who was also in the army with a bleak face and a wounded body.

"At the end of the second year of Qianfu (875), I joined the governor to join the General Butian (Wang Xianzhi), and also followed the King of Overthrowing (Huang Chao) for some time. Perhaps I could meet old acquaintances in this thief, so I would like to have a relationship of surviving..."

While they were arguing, several thieves and horsemen carrying triangular flags were chasing here. Wang Shenchao couldn't help but kick and kick away his two younger brothers. He watched them roll and crawl into the jungle and wait, and then he described his miserable face facing the chaser with his sword and spear, holding his head and kneeling on the ground to look like he was surrendering.

Then, he was wrapped up and tightened by a rope that was thrown down immediately and dragged it swayed. The injured Wang Yanfu did not have such treatment. The other party just shouted in a very heavy accent.

"Can this guy still walk?"

"He can leave, but his arms are hurt, he can still leave..."

Wang Shenchao suddenly felt a sense of danger and hurriedly said.

"Then get up and jump a few times..."

However, the other party aimed the spear tip without hesitation, and Wang Yan, who was a little breathless, said.

On the edge of the forest not far away, the remaining rebels chased after him. Wang Shenchao could only beg for his escaped brother while worrying about his prospects.

......

After nightfall, Changsha City was once again illuminated by torches wandering on the streets and alleys and lights in the buildings, and became hazy. The preliminary results outside the city have been counted and sent to Zhou Huaian.

Although this inappropriate rain hindered the subsequent pursuit and the efficiency of battlefield news transmission; in the chaos in the camps under the city, more than 3,000 corpses of the official army were left behind, and more than 1,000 prisoners were captured or surrendered on the spot. Among them, more than 600 corpses of horses were also found, and more than 100 mounts were abandoned or abandoned alive.

This is an authentic northern war horse with a complete saddle with a high head and wide shoulders. Even if it is injured, it can be used as a breeding population basis; compared with those in the south who are hard-working and hard-working, it is also much more powerful than those in the south that are not resistant to sprinting and lack of continuous explosive power, such as Guizhou horses, Gui horses, and fruit dismounting horses, which are much stronger;

It’s like the difference between a large off-road jeep and a small rural pickup truck and a small truck. This is more than the spoils that Zhou Huaian values.

Of course, because the rebels rushed to fight in the early and middle stages, the casualties caused by this will not be small, and even roughly counted slightly more than the total number of these attacking officials. From another perspective, the overall performance of the Taiping Army is still within its expected value;

Although it is not perfect in many tactical details, it is a little rough and lacks experience in the face of the situation, and even makes many mistakes and mistakes in a hurry; the overall training and organizational advantages can still be fully utilized over time and the transition from the arbitrary period; and effectively makes up for these mistakes and omissions through the collective scale effect of quantity to qualitative change.

Therefore, after fighting hard with this group of invading official troops, it was counted that the damage of the battalions of the war front as the main combat force was not obvious, and basically failed to reach the level of injury; and as long as supplements and short-term running-in, the basic strength can be quickly restored. Mainly, as the teaching brigade of the emergency firefighting team, the small casualties after being hit first made people feel a little painful; and the New Third Battalion was eventually dispersed and destroyed, causing great losses.

However, among the two camps in the north and east of the city, more than a dozen supplementary battalions of other rebels were being organized, but the majority of them were directly destroyed because they happened to face the official army's sudden entry. Therefore, they occupied the majority of casualties, and so far, many people fled in the wild and were unable to recover...

Zhou Huaian, as the first collective commendation form after the war, was to re-convene the remnants of the New Third Battalion that did not return the enemy to the vivid and exciting new third battalion, and reorganize it; after many new and old battalions announced priority replenishment and reorganization, the third battalion, which is the eleventh Battle Front Battalion, will be awarded the number of the 3rd battalion of the rear battalion, which is the eleventh Battle Front Battalion.

He was thus awarded the title of "Stone" exclusive to the camp head written by Zhou Huaian "personally". Since then, he was embroidered on the horizontal edge of the camp belonging to the Taiping Qing Banner, as a long-term commemoration and honor. This is also another reward that makes people particularly jealous but have to be convinced after the battle medal in the army.

As the saying goes, Guoyong, who is the first to be the enemy and the few to overwhelm the crowd, fights to the death for a long time until the support arrives, is not something that everyone has. This battalion happens to be a considerable proportion of all the Long March athletes and frontier garrison soldiers; he is used to drowning in battles with few to the crowd in the long-term battle against Tuman Mountains and barbarians.

When the leading battalion commander Wang Gui was killed by horse tram on the spot, Deputy Commander Zhong Yi then commanded the battle until he was seriously injured, and Sun Xiu repeatedly replaced him... until he was broken through by the enemy cavalry. This also gained a particularly valuable time and room for reorganization and assembly of friendly forces and put them on the battlefield.

The fighting spirit and tactical qualities reflected during this period are undoubtedly enough to become one of the examples and considerations used by the Taiping Army to carry forward the situation.

But when the next day, the last group of pursuing troops also came back with the captives and the hunting team; it was regrettable that Li Hanzhi, the chief general of the official army, was not found; he only took one general Yang Shihou, who led his troops to resist until the end and attracted most of the Taiping Army's attention.

......

At the same time, Li Hanzhi, who was temporarily ignored in the southwest of Changsha City, was squatting on a small fishing boat with a few people bare-armed and wearing only a single dress, and was drooping away, and was strolling hard.

Of course, this secret envoy and guest Chen Bin, the governor of Shannan, sent by Liu Jurong, Ziziwen, was not as tough and stubborn as he said. After sending people to take him to see scenes such as "ants climbing trees" and "fish-flavored shredded meat", it was easy to choose to compromise and cooperate. Although it was not all the same, it was also the result of asking questions and answering questions.

Zhou Huaian also obtained more information about the court's rebel army; as a judgment and deduction for his next step of action.

For example, Liu Jurong, the governor of Shannan, who once said wildly that he wanted to keep the thief to maintain his wealth, this time it was rare to urge his subordinates to advance south with great energy; it was obvious that there was a hidden result.

For example, because he was dissatisfied with the movement of the imperial court, and was resentful and did not move to the army or attack the thieves. He still sat in the Jiangxi recruit Cao Quanshi, who was upstream of the Han River. This time, he was also motivated to send troops to pursue and intercept the Huang Chao army that was descending along the river.

While he was thinking, he heard a new report.

"Wang Chongba asked to take the crime himself..."

Zhou Huaian was stunned for a moment before someone called him in.

But I found that I was carrying a bundle of thorns with a shirtless and carrying a bundle of 80 pounds, and my back was already bloodied. Well, this was really a real apology. I don’t know where he heard and thought of it.

"Your affairs are a cause, but their faults are inevitable. I will punish you to serve as a warning. Have you ever been convinced?"

Although he was thinking this in his heart, Zhou Huaian still said seriously.

"I should accept it myself. This is my fault. Even if I sacrifice my life, it would be fine."

He said in a very bachelor and neat voice.

"But, please deal with it as soon as possible to avoid delaying the main business."

"I naturally have some concerns..."

Zhou Huaian looked at him in a little surprised before saying.

"You are out of touch with other troops without any connection, which will cause the official army to cross over and fall from the north of the city to fall. It is really unforgivable to blame. According to the rules, you should whip for sixty and be shackled for half a month."

Under the current military discipline and rules of the Taiping Army, most of the overly complex, or are simply humiliating, or referring to punishments that are more physically harm than symbolic, and only a few limited means of punishment are retained.

"In addition, it's useless for me to ask your life. It's better to just use white body as the five-year period for our department to be effective... You can be convinced if you think the effect of the funeral is going to happen."

"Be careful..."

Wang Chongba was stunned for a moment, and said with no time to think.

"Considering the urgent military situation, you need to lead the way and drive forward, I will use the ten whip in public for the time being."

Zhou Huaian paused and said.
