Looking at the enemy troops drowned in smoke and fire on the shore, as well as the launcher and guide rails that had become empty on the ship. Bai Dulu, the leader of the craftsman and monk of the Foreground Teaching Team, also ended the eulogy of silently reciting the rebirth of rebirth, and changed it to a prayer to bless comrades.

"Only praise the supreme heaven of light, only praise the emperor's father, Arroko,

The master of the Wanrenguang Mountain, the Heavenly Lord who will respond to all requests, is the Lord who follows the principles of all things.

Thanksgiving and praise are all here, and I hope that the light of God will shine on the earth and that all sufferings of the world will be liberated.

May God’s grace be placed in the sea and be placed in the robes without being harmed by water, fire, swords and weapons;

May the power of God be imprisoned so that all enemies on the other side will be blind, confused, and suffer from hunger, thirst, and illness;

May all the people of the world feel their power, trust and obey them."

The very conspicuous transmission wheels on both sides of the hull, as well as metal-reinforced rotating shafts and paddles, represent the extraordinary location of the ship. This is what an adult created and the great power it brought.

This is the car and ship, first created by Cao Wanggao during the Tianbao period, and was not a new thing in the canal transportation in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty. However, because of the redesign and improvement methods of the Taiping Army, the rivers in the south were revitalized and used.

It is said that on the main river roads from east to west of Ling, there are now new transportation tools that can carry people and goods against the current without wind vendors or pulling fibers. This has also caused the traditional corvee and miscellaneous envoys that need to be collected along the way to be greatly reduced and relaxed since then.

According to the depth of the draft, the amount of cargo and the specific purpose, many modified versions have been derived from the original tangible structure. Among them, there are all large and small flat-panel boats with dozens of stones of civilian simplified to mixed large boats with five or six hundred stones of high side and sails on the river.

For example, the large watercraft they are currently using is actually a key component such as watercraft, rotating shaft, etc. that cannot be produced elsewhere on the ship, and then they are transformed from land to cross Wuling from Guizhou; and then search for the used river ship on the spot.

Then, in order to install the firearms for use, a corresponding transformation was carried out; a large piece of canopy was removed, and corresponding projection equipment was set up according to the counterweight, and the anti-arrow baffle and shield were strengthened on the sidewall. Since then, it has become a water-wheel warship that can carry troops and attack the enemy.

However, they had just completed the airworthiness and combat tests in the ridge, and they received news of turmoil and unrest in various states in Hunan. Even the Jiangyun once interrupted the endless stream of river thieves, water bandits and mountain sheds.

As all the local armed forces that can be used nearby, Bai Dulu and others had to embark on the journey of supporting and assisting the local quarry along the river to determine chaos with the newly released water steamer fleet and its corresponding escort armed forces.

During this process, he experienced dozens of battles, big and small, and also saw many tragic events in the world. It was a scene where even the monk of the Prospects who had pity and obsession with the world could not help but feel indignant about it.

At least the Taiping Army killed gentry and powerful men like pigs and dogs, but they did not kill indiscriminately or aimlessly. They also gave them a clear and clear end after the Ming Dian Zhengzheng, and did not harm women and children, but gave them a path to accept transformation and start a life of self-reliance.

But when these gentry and remnants of the tyrants who came back from counterattacks, they showed the most ugly scene in human nature just for pure revenge and intimidation.

Even the leaders who were elected by the Taiping Army and even the leaders who secretly heard the sound of the people were inevitably tortured by the cruel means of the whole family. Even the dead bodies were not spared.

During the frequent use of this journey, this special fleet of waterwheelers also experienced various failures, accidents and combat losses, and the number of vehicles and ships that can continue to be used is gradually decreasing.

In the end, when they stumbled into Dongting Lake, about seven scarred waterwheelers were left; then one was stranded at the entrance of Xiangshui Lake; after dismantling the spare parts, only six were able to be put into the battle intact.

Fortunately, they not only received material and personnel replenishment from the recovery battle along the way, but also brought together the Taiping Navy and many affiliated ships to carry it, so the actual scale did not decrease, but instead increased and expanded by more than half.

After entering the Dongting Lake Basin, I received assistance from the local village fishing team's boat owners and fishermen; the better news is that the Taiping Army leader has led the army back and allocated a batch of firearms to them for support.

This is why this time, the Taiping Army gathered all the strength of the water surface forces on Dongting Lake.

Obviously, the firearms attacked first were very effective. The Langzhou soldiers under Lei Man had never seen such a fierce battle formation. They shouted loudly as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting, rushing around to dodge, and immediately showed that the formation was loose and became in chaos.

"The enemy's flag fell down..."

"A God-given opportunity..."

"Hurry, let's go ashore."

"Call him sick and kill him..."

Such a roar was heard around Bai Dulu. Then he saw dense ships of all sizes, relying on the shore one after another, and groups of armed personnel of various colors jumped off.

.........

On the eighth year of Qianfu, on July 27th, Zhang Chengfan and others led their troops to Huazhou. However, he was greeted by an empty and silent city. After finally finding an old Cangtou hiding at home, he knew what had happened before from the other party's inconsistent statement.

However, it happened that Pei Qianyu, the governor of Huazhou, was ordered to be the inspector of the foreign town, but he left without saying goodbye. As a result, the next day, all the soldiers and the people fled to Huashan to avoid disaster when they heard the news. The city was empty and depressed, and only dust and mouse footprints were left in the warehouse of the city.

Fortunately, after searching, there were more than a thousand hu of rice in the granary of a large household. Zhang Chengfan immediately asked the soldiers to bring food for three days before he could continue to move forward. However, all the villages and inns were empty along the way.

On the first day of August, Zhang Chengfan and others led their troops to Tongguan and searched for places with dense grass and trees. Only then did they find more than 100 villagers, asking them to move stones and draw water to prepare for defending the city.

Only after entering the city of Guancheng did Zhang Chengfan get another bad news, but Zikelang's army was about to be out of food, and the soldiers' fighting spirit had already plummeted.

On that day, Huang Chao's vanguard troops arrived at the city of Tongguan, and saw white and ochre-yellow flags mixed together, and the mountains and fields were everywhere, making people feel scared.

Near the Daming Palace in Chang'an City, there was a situation of crying and crying in the Shence Army Camp; while the Prime Minister Zheng Ting, who was looking at all in the military city, had a distorted face and his mouth trembled but could no longer speak.

However, Yang Fugong, the Flying Dragon Envoy and Privy Councilor, who was beside him, was embarrassed and helpless, and did not know how to explain and say it to him clearly.

Because most of these Shence soldiers in Beijing were children of wealthy families in Chang'an, who bribed eunuchs and were named after military status to obtain generous gifts, but these people usually wore gorgeous clothes and galloped on fast horses. With the power of eunuchs, they were arrogant, but never participated in the battle formation;

Now I heard that I was going to go to the front line to fight against the thieves. In the families related to the Shence Army, there were sad situations where fathers and sons gathered together and cried with their heads, or their families tugged and shouted at Liantian;

Just last night, people walked over the wall in groups, and the guards and patrol soldiers could not even stop them. They were afraid of subsequent accountability, so they took off their clothes and lost their weapons and fled.

Many of the remaining servants from wealthy families filled the list, or were hired by poor people living in the ward for money and silk; or simply had nowhere to escape, nowhere to get rid of rogues and evil boys, and were temporarily making up for the numbers.

These people often don’t know how to handle weapons and find it difficult to carry heavy armor. When they stand in the camp, not only does they have no formation at all, but they even hold weapons in a rumble and reveal their true colors on the spot.

Therefore, the so-called reinforcements in the middle and middle capital have become a joke here; Zheng Ting even suspected that if he continued to send them out of the formation, he would be afraid that once he walked out of the capital, he would immediately scatter.

"I would also like to take care of my boss Zheng Tang. After all, this is something that has been accumulated over the years and is unthinkable for a while."

Although he was embarrassed and helpless, Yang Fugong still comforted him with a tough bullet.

"Now the children of Shence from the eight towns in Jingxi are still rushing to come. According to the horse newspaper, Fengtian has passed; as long as the soldiers in front can be more persevering, there is still a way to save them..."

"I have already obtained the resources of the Da Nei treasury and set up a grain station in Weiqiao, thinking that it is necessary to transfer and connect...
