And at this time, on the other side of the strait.

A general said to Zeng Guoquan: "Sir, we could have captured the coast of Daiwan immediately. We could establish a foothold there, and the subsequent troops could be continuously pressed up. However, we did not expect that the young king of the Taiping Army killed him. This person was completely unreasonable. He was hit by dozens of bullets and was only slightly injured. He killed people quickly and quickly."

"If the Taiping Army had not had a young king, we would have won during the day today."

After hearing the general's words, Zeng Guoquan couldn't help but smile: "So, the information coming from Japan is not wrong. He Xuan's invincible state when he was resurrected is only temporary. Compared with four years ago, he has not become stronger. Since he has not become stronger, he has given us a chance to kill him."

"We have won this battle."

Zeng Guoquan said confidently.

"The only three forts on the coastline of Daiwan Island are suitable for our large-scale landings, including Seahawk Fort, Guwang Fort, and From Afar. These three forts are guarded by heavy troops."

"Zhong King Li Xiucheng is also a veteran, fighting old wars. I have fought with him for many years and knows that it is quite difficult to get the advantage of him." Zeng Guoquan said in a deep voice: "So, in the next wave, we will fight hard and directly attack Seahawk Castle, where there will be a decisive battle."

"Of course, it wasn't such a decisive battle from the beginning. The steamships we have on hand can only transport 15,000 troops at a time. Such transportation is too slow." Zeng Guoquan said: "Go to borrow Western ships and transport 60,000 troops at one time."

"These sixty thousand troops are all powered by muskets. The remaining ten thousand are powered by cold weapons."

"This kind of force can directly sweep the Taiping Army on Daiwan Island."

Hearing Zeng Guoquan's big deal, his general couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Are Westerners willing to borrow so many steamboats?"

"Of course the Westerners are willing to borrow. In the eyes of Westerners, our Qing court was a cooperative partner who was willing to obey. However, the Taiping Army was a cooperative partner who was unwilling to obey."

"If Western countries want to exploit more benefits from our Qing Dynasty, they must support us instead of other emerging forces."

"Of course, Westerners are also very willing to get up early without profit. Just borrowing their steamships will probably cost a lot. However, this is a battle to exterminate the Taiping Army. I think the court will be willing to spend this money."

Zeng Guoquan smiled.

"But in this way, wouldn't we drag the decisive battle for a few days?"

"Drag it, just drag it. These days, we will attack Daiwan every day and prevent their soldiers from resting. Anyway, we have a lot of people, so we can take turns to rest. They will never rest, and they will eventually collapse." Zeng Guoquan, who was fighting an old war, suddenly figured out these ideas.

The next thing was arguing with the Westerners, and the negotiation was successful in a few days.

...

Seven days later.

The steamship from the West has arrived.

The seventy thousand army sat on the boat and headed straight towards Daiwan.

Although the Qing Dynasty had hundreds of thousands of troops, the troops with firearms had only about 100,000, and they were all elite soldiers among the elite soldiers. These 70,000 troops accounted for more than half of the elite troops of the Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, this battle was personally directed by Zeng Guoquan, a famous Qing general, who was the one who was in charge of the battle.

It can be said that this was a battle to eliminate the Taiping Army that the Qing Dynasty had planned for a long time and invested greatly.

So many people rushed over directly.

Moreover, the target directly points to Seahawk Castle.

The Taiping Army of Seahawk Castle also received the above instructions to try its best to resist. If it really can't resist, it can retreat. However, most of the Taiping Army did not know that their young king had been invincible for a short time.

They only know that Seahawk Castle must not be lost.

Once lost.

Then, the Qing army could move forward in.

The Taiping Army in Daiwan itself could not stop the Qing army at all.

In this case, the Taiping Army in Daiwan will be completely destroyed.

By then, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be completely finished.

Therefore, with the support of this belief, they kept fighting back and fighting back.

The battle was quite intense.

The firearm opened fire steadily.

Flesh and blood sprinkled.

Both sides suffered heavy casualties.

However, in the Taiping Army, the number of people was far smaller than that of the Qing army, and the firearms were of a considerable generation difference with the Qing army. Although it occupied the right place to resist the construction of the Seahawk Fort, it gradually could not resist.

In the end, after the loss was quite serious, they received information from the Shangfeng, asking them to retreat.

There is only a helpless retreat.

The Qing army finally rushed into the Seahawk Castle.

They were all extremely happy.

They have been fighting Seahawks for more than a week, but they have not captured it, but have suffered serious losses here. Now they have finally captured it.

Zeng Guoquan himself, accompanied by many guards, stepped into the Seahawk Castle. Logically speaking, he was the commander of the three armies and would not rush to the front line. But this time, Zeng Guoquan had absolute confidence to defeat the Taiping Army on Daiwan Island, so he followed with confidence.

He raised his hand: "Everyone, now we have captured the Seahawk Fortress, we will rest for a while. Then, attack the entire Daiwan Island. Eliminate all Taiping Army here and destroy the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Make such great contributions, and it is no problem for you to be promoted and make a fortune."

After hearing what he said, the soldiers below applauded.

Zeng Guoquan was actually a little confused. Why didn’t He Xuan see this battle? But I think that even if the young king of the Taiping Army took action, it would not have much impact.

This time, the Taiping Army had already lost.

...

Not too far from Seahawk Castle, in a valley.

He Xuan, who had changed into white clothes, was washing his sword.

Adjusting the feeling.

For some reason, when using a sword, I always like blue or white clothes, which is the purest. Wear other colors of clothes, but my heart is not as quiet as I can. I can't feel the feeling of being completely integrated with the sword.

Gradually, I felt that my momentum had reached its peak.

Brush!

Eight swords were sheathed one after another.

In the Song Dynasty, I never took it so seriously. Because I used cold weapons during the Song Dynasty and could not hurt myself at all. No matter how I fought, I would win.

Now, be completely serious.

This time, it was half of the main force of the Qing army.

As long as this half of the main force was eliminated, the Qing army would be greatly damaged.

He Xuan raised his hand, picked up the wine gourd beside him, drank all the wine, and then threw it to the river.

Now, go out to fight!

The spring breeze blows, the war drums beat, who is afraid of whom!

He fought for three thousand miles in one body, and dared to be a million divisions with one sword!
Chapter completed!
