However, that night, the situation took a sharp turn.

"Enemy attack..."

"It's gone..."

"The Taiping thief is here to kill"

When Li Cifei, the general of Wukang Town, was awakened by his anxious subordinates amid the chaotic shouts. The camp of Wukang Town soldiers was full of people who were disheveled or ran around the ground with bare arms, and the steep flames that swelled from afar.

Even though he bravely waved his long-handled sword and took the lead in killing many chaotic soldiers who rushed to the front, he splashed all over the ground with blood, but he could not gather them together again, and could not stop the general trend of running around.

In the end, he could only break through the flames and fight with the increasingly approaching sounds of fighting; he sighed helplessly but indignantly, and hurriedly searched for the place far away from the flames with the last dozens of followers who were gathered around him.

And when he left the burning camp, he fled to the last stroke in front of the formation of Junyuan in the distance; but the scene where Li Ju, the deputy of the town who also came out with his troops, was blocked by the ambushed bandits at the camp gate, and rushed left and right and couldn't escape and gradually fell to the ground with exhaustion.

It was dawn the next day, and when Li Cifei and the children of Yanguandu who were supporting him returned, they saw the thief chariot formation standing along the river along the road, which actually extended and expanded a lot, and cleaned up the front and reinforced it again.

Obviously, these Taiping thieves' car arrays were also given corresponding support and supplements while attacking Wukang's troops at night; and they used the camp to create an unavoidable proof at the intersection of the road, river and Tianze.

In the car array, the newly transferred local people from Jiangnan, the old yellow sheep with a loyal and simple appearance, were also asking the prisoners captured in the night battle.

"Where are you from...

"There are a few more people in the family..."

"Why did you get a village soldier at the beginning? Is it because your family can't eat enough or you can't live with it?"

"Our rebel army only deals with big and powerful families, so we do not plunder or bully the common people. If we are suffering and hardship, we may not be able to provide relief. After all, what can we do if these poor families are planning to do?"

"What are you, the children of the Penghu Family, who have sacrificed your lives to work hard for these powerful families and work hard to protect their wealth and power, but why are you doing?"

"Are your lives worth only a few lies and deceitful words about "protecting the country and safeguarding the people"? I'm afraid they have done a lot of things to burn, kill, kill, loot and harm the place, but how many of your income from the battle and plunder are there?"

"Our rebel army is completely different. Not only do we eat and wear and wear every day, but we can also afford to work according to the amount of effort we have to do...

"What, it would be better if you were born in a salt family; don't you know, why aren't the rebel army's first rebellion, and the Chongtian General Huang Wang, who were both born in salt trading?"

"If the people of Henan could not afford the imperial court's 100-ounce liter of salt, which caused them to swollen and dying, how could these two men have accomplished... This is a natural source of closeness."

"Now, why are the best green and white salt under the rebels? The one-pack sold in the army (about 0.15 kilograms) is only five yuan, but it is no less expensive than the cost of chopping grass, burning stoves and cooking salt... "

"Come on, bring him a can of experience and experience..."

.........

On Mount Gouli, south of Dantu City, a conspicuous wooden arm-tacking signal tower is swaying in the wind with many curved arms used to refract and reflect light, and sending and receiving various messages and orders like flowing water.

"Since the outpost battle encountered by Xianghe Village, Gaitai Town and Baoqing Temple, five departments have appeared in the banner of Badu in Hangzhou...."

Ge Congzhou, who was responsible for sticking to his own formation, also talked about it in front of the sand table map.

"In the battle of Xianghe Village, the 6th Battalion of the Second Army and the two teams of the front line faced the troops of Rao Jing, the general of the Tangshan capital, killed hundreds of enemies and defeated more than a thousand... The official army has been pursued and advanced to the Xiaoxiang Ferry, and captured dozens of boats and several baggages."

"There is another temporary fifth battalion, the 7th battalion of the garrison and the cavalry and sergeant regiment. Yugaitai Town encountered Du Ling, the Xincheng Capital General, and Cao Xin's troops attacked him. After fighting hard, they encountered Liu Meng'an, the Qingping Capital's subordinates, and Ruan Jie's troops came to help, so they burned the fortifications at night and retreated; they are now gathering and regrouping around Jurong."

"Outside Baoqing Temple, the jumping team and the selection of the vanguards were formed, and they even defeated Huangling under the command of Wu Wenju, the Zhennu three-town soldiers under the command of Qiandu Wu Wenju, and forced Xingye to retreat quickly. They killed hundreds of them, and killed the deputy general Cheng and got more than a hundred mules and horses."

"Is the defenders in Dantu City still not moving at all?... This old dog is really calm."

At this time, Sima Gao Jichang, the teaching responsible for supervising the creation, suddenly spoke.

"It's okay, regardless of whether he is so silenced or not, Dong Chang's Hangzhou army will have to deal with it with all his strength."

Zhou Huaian said lightly.

"Even if you lose most of the camp outside the city, it's okay... Just guard the corner of the river with the cooperation of the navy; as long as Dong Chang's journey is solved, even if the old thief Zhou in the city is as stable as Mount Tai, it's just a little difference between dying early and late."

Through the temporary signal towers established on the commanding heights of the hills near Dantu, the temple towers and pavilions, Zhou Huaian can still quickly grasp the dynamics from the peripheral battlefields, and orderly gradually invest the chips and trump cards in his hand into the corresponding local battlefields.

Several generals of the Taiping Army, such as Zhu Cun, Zhang Juyan, Cao Shixiong, etc., have also been assigned by him to take charge and integrate the other rebels guarded in Jurong, Yanling, and Qua City. They do not ask them to take the initiative or fight against the enemy, as long as they are strictly guarding the city and not giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Compared with most Taiping generals from the ridge, they are obviously more familiar with these traditional rebels; and as long as there are fewer capable people and horses cooperate, they can control them. If the official army attacks, these cities will become wedges and iron felts that will be entangled with the enemy, and then they will be crushed and defeated with the cooperation of the main force of the Taiping Army who rushed to help.

In addition to these rebel troops with uneven strength, Zhou Huaian still has the 12th Battalion's troops, the garrison of the 21st Battalion, the new, temporary personnel, and the reserves of the seven supplementary battalions, which can be controlled and invested in this battlefield.

Therefore, in most cases, the Taiping Army had to wait for work or wait for the battle with a strong force, supplemented by flexible and maneuverable means of delaying attacks on the official army.

At this time, a scream suddenly came from the waiting post.

"It's moving in Dantu City..."
