It was already late at night and the second update, and the wealthy businessmen in Xiangtan City fell asleep in a state of anxiety. Changmao outside the city only fired a cannon during the day, but did not attack the city, which made the people in the city feel a little more at ease, thinking that maybe Changmao was just a soldier.

At this time, the Zhanyue Gate of the West Gate of Xiangtan slowly opened. Teams of Qing troops set out from Huanglong Lane, passed Fengcheping and then to Shanshu Lane, and then quietly drove out of the Zhanyue Gate from the city. The wealthy merchants in Xiangtan who were still sleeping did not know that the Qing army of Deng Shaoliang, who had vowed to defend Xiangtan a few days ago, had abandoned them and left them to the long-haired thieves outside the city.

After leaving the city gate, Deng Shaoliang called the Qing army, Ma Mohei, and walked around Majialing to the Tongmu Bridge in Tongzi Bay. When he looked back, the Taiping Army camp in Hutouling in the north was like Xiangtan City, and there was no movement. Deng Shaoliang twisted his beard and said proudly: "If a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, the elders of Xiangtan will be sorry. One day, our association will lead troops back to avenge you."

When the Qing army arrived at the bridge, they began to cross the bridge one after another. When they stepped onto the bridge board, Deng Shaoliang faintly noticed a dangerous atmosphere. The dense reed marshes on both sides of the bridge were already withered and yellow, and the cold wind blew, rustling, and the moonlight in the sky appeared and disappeared. The moon was dark and the wind was high and the night of killing people, Deng Shaoliang felt a tightness in his heart.

Just as Deng Shaoliang rode his horse to the ground, a rocket rose into the sky on Mapo not far from the bridge, with a large firecracker tied to the arrow, and then flew into the air and exploded.

The Qing army, from Deng Shaoliang to ordinary soldiers, was still stunned. The woods on the banks of Tongzi Bay seemed to be magical in the reed marshes. Countless torches were raised, and the shouts of killing came. Countless Taiping soldiers wrapped in red scarves were like magic weapons coming from the sky. They killed them out like magic weapons.

The Qing army was shocked and unprepared. They were rushed into the formation by the Taiping Army. In an instant, the two armies had already met in close contact, and the Qing army's firearms became useless. The Qing army's green camp soldiers have always been unfamiliar with melee combat. At least before the Hunan Army appeared, few Qing army's green camp soldiers could gain advantage in hand-to-hand combat with the Taiping Army. What's more, the Qing army was suddenly attacked at this time, and there were only dense fire lights attacking in the dark. I don't know how many long hairs were killed, and morale instantly dropped to the lowest point.

Deng Shaoliang was at the bridgehead, with two hundred old subordinates following him, and these people dared to fight hand in hand, but they were following Deng Shaoliang now and could not reach the front line. When the Xiangtan Green Camp retreated, they had already become a defeat. They threw away their armor and rushed to Tongmu Bridge, hoping to cross the bridge and escape back to the city. This attack disrupted Deng Shaoliang's veterans' formation, and the Taiping Army chased after him. Deng Shaoliang knew that the defeat had been decided, so he had to order his subordinates to cut off the rear and take the bridge first with a few people.

When they fled back to Zhanyue Gate, Deng Shaoliang looked back. Fortunately, the Taiping Army was only chasing the Qing army that had fled everywhere. Before they could catch up, they hurriedly ordered their troops to open the city gate and enter the city. Half the city gate was opened, a Taiping army cavalry in the western suburbs arrived. There were about hundreds of people in these cavalry teams, each holding torches and steel knives, sweeping like the wind. Deng Shaoliang was so desperate that he had to slap the horse into the city through the cracks in the city gate, shouting wildly: "Close the city gate! Close the city gate!"

However, the Qing army, who had not yet entered the city, was crying and shouting that they were about to rush into the city. In the panic, the city gate could not be closed, but instead opened wider and wider. The Taiping army and horses arrived and instantly chopped up dozens of Qing soldiers at the gate of the city and rushed into the city shouting loudly. The Zhanyue Gate in Xiangtan fell.

After the Taiping Army and Cavalry, a large number of infantry also arrived. The Taiping Army divided into several teams and broke into the city. The front team followed Shanshu Lane and Fengcheping into Huanglong Lane. Then they divided the troops. The right team rushed straight to the general city, the left team rushed to Gongjimen, and seized the county government from Sizhou'an Lane and Banshi Lane. The back team set up defense outside the Xiaodong Gate. The Taiping Army attacked Xiangtan, and there was no chaos in the dark. It seemed that it was like going home. It was clear that they knew how to go early in the morning.

Deng Shaoliang ran to the county government office, but he was not as good as he was dismounting. He shouted and shouted killing from behind. In desperation, he had to break into the county government office to hide. The left army of Taiping Army chased him, rushed into the county government office without hesitation, and then searched and killed him separately.

Su Ji led more than 20 boy soldiers to the end. When they arrived at the county government office, the Taiping Army that had poured in early had already started a massacre. Su Ji was secretly angry and led his men to follow the brigade. He wanted to catch up with the front team several times, but he was always scolded by the commander, "There are no hairs, stay behind!" Finally, he finally arrived at the county government office, and the others had almost killed them. It seemed that his team of boy soldiers were working in vain again.

A boy soldier under his command looked at each other and said, "What should we do with the two Simas? They were almost killed by their brothers."

Su Ji pulled out his steel knife and said angrily: "I don't believe in evil. Let's take a detour to the back alley, maybe I can catch a few!" At that moment, the boy soldiers shouted in unison, turned their heads and walked out of the county government gate, and walked around the back alley.

As soon as we arrived at the back alley, we saw several Qing soldiers leaning against the wall on the ladder. Two Qing army officials were riding on the wall on the top of the wall and were about to climb down. Su Ji was quick-eyed and threw the torch in his hand. He burned the Qing army who was carrying the ladder below and screamed in a strange way. He shouted and raised his knife to slashed over.

Several Qing soldiers were caught off guard and couldn't take the ladder to guard against it. They were cut by Su Ji. The ladder immediately collapsed. More than 20 boy soldiers rushed up, and bamboo spears and sickles were slashing and stabbing them in a daze.

The two Qing court officials on the wall were startled, and a general dressed in military uniform shouted: "Don't panic, just a group of yellow-haired boys, I see that I am going to fight for blood!" After that, the Qing general shouted loudly, pulled out his sword, jumped down from the wall, raised his sword and stabbed a boy soldier in the thigh. The boy soldier fell to the ground with a roar.

Seeing this, Su Ji shouted angrily and raised his knife to slash him. He only remembered in his heart that Li Yiwen had taught him. When fighting in hand-to-hand, he was brave. The more brave you are, the more scared the enemy will be. Even if you cut you, you will not have much strength.

The Qing general was shocked when he heard this. He didn't even have to kill the boy soldier in front of him. With the swords and flirted with each other, he heard a clanging sound. After all, Su Ji was not strong enough. The steel sword in his hand was knocked out by the Qing general. However, the Qing general's sword was not much better. The steel sword was heavy and was just chopped on the back of the sword. The sword could not withstand the force and was broken into two pieces.

Seeing that the sword was broken, the Qing general became a little panicked. Su Ji shouted, "This guy's sword is broken, let's go together!" After that, he rushed over desperately and hugged the Qing general's thigh. He wanted to knock him down, but he didn't know that the Qing general was quite strong and stood firm as a rock. He hit Su Ji's elbow hard, hitting Su Ji's back. Su Ji felt that the stars in front of him were everywhere and almost let go. He took a deep breath, held his hands tightly, but he didn't let go.

At this time, the boy soldiers saw that their two Simas were so brave, and they didn't know where they got the courage. They all shouted and surrounded them, hugging their feet, holding hands, and choking their necks, wrapping the Qing generals tightly.

Na Qing was panicked, and he threw away one, and finally he couldn't move his hands and feet, but he couldn't stand up. At this moment, he felt a pain in his thighs behind him. He roared, and could no longer support him and threw himself forward.

It turned out that in the midst of entanglement, a boy soldier raised a bamboo gun and stabbed the Qing general's back thigh from the crowd, and finally stabbed him to the ground. A group of boy soldiers rushed forward and pushed him to a strong point.

Su Ji was pressed to the bottom half of his body, and Venus appeared in front of him and shouted loudly: "Press me to death, pull him away!" The boy soldiers were startled and then turned the Qing general over, untied their belts and tied them to a firm position.

The official on the wall was frightened and sighed and bowed north, saying, "Your Majesty, I can't be loyal anymore, I will just die to show my ambition!" After that, he pulled out a short sword and wiped his neck.

The body fell down, and the boy soldiers exclaimed, "Oh, I killed one of them, it's a pity." "I still want to capture him alive."

Su Ji stood up tremblingly and cursed: "A group of bullshit guys, more than twenty people caught two people and injured a few. If they met a team of Qing Yao, I think you will do! Damn, I forgot what I taught you on weekdays?! It's such a group of rice buckets, and only know how to eat..." Su Ji cursed happily, and the boy soldiers lowered their heads, but he completely forgot that he was also in a hurry just now. If it weren't for his good luck, he cut off the Qing General's sword, but he didn't know how many people they would lose.

Su Ji didn't know at this moment that the Qing court official who committed suicide on the wall was Qi Wuzhi, the magistrate of Xiangtan County. The one who was arrested by them was Deng Shaoliang, the general of the Qing army. Deng Shaoliang, a mortal enemy of the Taiping Army and a good general in the Qing army, was caught by more than 20 and a half young men in the back alley of the county government. He was still unlucky and was shot. He was really embarrassed.

One night passed, and when the people of Xiangtan opened the door tremblingly, there were already a group of long-haired thieves wrapped in red turtles in Xiangtan City. The long-haired thieves were still polite and did not harass the people. They were busy cleaning the battlefield last night, and teams of long-haired soldiers drove by and occupied Xiangtan City.

More than ten long-haired men walked past the streets in the city with gongs, shouting while walking, telling the people in the city that they do not need to panic and guard their own affairs, saying that the Taiping Holy Soldiers were ordered by heaven to attack Hu Nu Qing Yao and would not bully the common people and fellow villagers, but those who do evil can go to the county government office to report and will be punished severely.

Outside the gate of Xiangtan County Yamen, Xiao Yungui turned over and dismounted, walked straight to several station cages outside the Yamen. He pointed at a Qing general who was locked in the first station cage and asked: "Is this person the Qing demon Deng Shaoliang Deng Demon Head?"

A man behind him smiled and said, "It was Deng Shaoliang, deputy general of Chuxiong Association, Deng Xietai." The person who spoke was actually Zuo Zongtang, Jin Liang of Xiangyin!
