When the rear army led by Li Zuoche, Tang Erniu and Tong Qiangsheng arrived with a large number of supplies, it was almost dusk, and the battles, fire and gunfire were still there, but the east gate and the west gate had been captured by the Taiping Army. There was still a governor's yamen in the city, and several treasurys and north gates were not fully controlled.

When Xiao Yungui saw the arrival of the rear army, he immediately ordered Lin Qirong and Li Yiwen to lead the Taiping New Army to guard the important areas of the South Gate, guard the prisoners, collect various supplies, and the wounded people carried down from the front also set up sheds at the South Gate to summon the followers to take charge of the doctors, Zheng Wei and other officials to treat them.

He ordered the Taiping veterans from Tianxin Pavilion and Kuixing Tower to retreat. After a fight, more than 100 people could fight in the two places. In addition, the 200 card swordsmen in the new army and the 200 guards around him, a total of 500 elite Taiping soldiers were led by him, Xiao Yungui, and he was personally led by him, and prepared to continue the city's clearance.

When Xiao Yungui ordered Li Zuoche and Tang Erniu and his two men to set off, they saw several fires rising from the northeast corner of the city soaring into the sky. Tong Qiangsheng pointed to the other side and exclaimed loudly: "Then seems to be the granary of the Qing Yao official in the city!"

Xiao Yungui was stunned for a moment, then cursed: "Who is setting fire to the food?"

Li Yiwen and Lin Qirong had already gone down to the city gate and saw the fire. Li Yiwen said anxiously: "Your Highness the Western King, it has not been cleared yet. It seems that the Qing Demon was forced to set fire to the granary."

Xiao Yungui immediately flew onto a horse, held a knife and shouted: "Li Yiwen, Lin Qirong, you two are guarding here. I personally lead the troops to rescue the granary. If the food in the city is burned, everyone will be hungry! Don't worry about the small group of clear demons on the way, let's go straight to the granary!"

At that moment, Xiao Yungui hurriedly rushed to the granary in the northeast corner with more than 500 famous brand swords. Along the way, a small group of Qing and Taiping troops were still fighting bloody battles, but the Qing army was no longer in a state of decline. Several teams of Taiping troops were already escorting a large number of Qing army prisoners back to the south of the city.

Xiao Yungui called a steward and asked, "What's the situation before?"

The soldiers clasped their fists and shouted: "Your Highness the Western King, Lord Lin and Lord Li are besieging the remaining Qing Yao in the granary. There are still Qing Yao in the Governor's yamen. Lord Zeng and Lord Ji are besieging the Governor's yamen. I heard that none of the Qing Yao's yamen have escaped, and they are all in the yamen."

Li Zuoche said happily: "Xiwang, let's go and capture the Qing Yao official."

Xiao Yungui cursed: "What do I want those wine bags to do? They will only waste food. We are going to help Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang's hands. Food is the most important thing." He immediately urged the troops to rush to the northeast.

After walking through several streets, I saw dead bodies of Qing army everywhere. Dozens of Taiping soldiers were inspecting the bodies. They found that they were still angry and they would take a knife. The bloody smell made people unable to open their eyes. Xiao Yungui didn't look much. Killing the wounded soldiers of the Qing army might be a relief for these Qing soldiers. There was really no extra manpower or material resources to save these Qing army wounded soldiers. Instead of letting them wail and bleed to die, it would be better to give them some pleasure. This is a cold war, and there is nothing else to say except death.

When Xiao Yungui and his men arrived at the Guancang of Changsha, they saw that the fire here was already very big, and the heat waves were coming, and they could not get close to each other. Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang were both dark and shouting loudly to order the Taiping Army soldiers to put out the fire everywhere. The fire was so big that all they could do was to prevent the fire from affecting other residential houses.

Xiao Yungui jumped off the horse, and the second general hurried forward and bowed to the ground. Li Kaifang said hatefully: "The Qing Yao cunning, he led his troops here early in the morning. Seeing that we were in a hurry to conflict, they couldn't resist it, so they set fire to the food."

Xiao Yungui stared at the Fiery that was several feet tall, and he was speechless. Without this food, the source of troops could not be expanded. The people who fled in the city also needed relief. What should he do if there was no food? Which bastard came up with such a vicious idea?

Lin Fengxiang saw Xiao Yungui's face gloomy face, but he just looked at the flames but didn't say anything. After he and Li Kaifang arrived, the Qing Yao set fire. After they rushed up, all the Qing Yao guarding the granary surrendered, but the granary was ignited by tinder oil and could no longer be rescued. He could only watch the food was burned, and Lin Fengxiang felt deeply guilty in his heart.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Lin Fengxiang yelled heavily, lifted his sword and rushed towards the Qing army officials and soldiers kneeling on the ground, and wanted to chop down at the first Qing army official with his head raised.

"Stop!" Xiao Yungui shouted in a deep voice: "It would be useless to kill him now, so he was given a reputation for fighting to the death!"

Lin Fengxiang held the knife in a bad mood and retreated aside. Xiao Yungui walked up and saw the official wearing a zombie costume I had seen on TV before. With Xiao Chaogui's knowledge, Xiao Yungui probably recognized this person wearing a flower coral top, a nine-python five-clawed robe, and a golden pheasant embroidered on his chest. He was wearing a second-rank official uniform from the Qing court. This person has a great official position.

In the fire, I saw that this person looked good, but his face and lips turned white. Although he was straightened, his eyebrows kept trembling, and he was obviously still a little scared.

Xiao Yungui coughed lightly and asked, "What is your name? What official position is it? Why do you have to set fire to the grain?"

The official tried hard to prevent his voice from trembling, but he still stumbled: "You, you rioters, how can you be worthy of asking about the name of this official? These are official grains, and you would rather burn them than fund the thief's salary!"

Xiao Yungui touched his nose, shouted softly, winked at Li Kaifang, and shouted: "Dog official, you are seeking death! Kill me!"

When Li Kaifang saw Xiao Yungui's eyes, he understood in his heart that if he thought that if he really wanted to kill this person, Lin Fengxiang would take action without stopping him. He pulled out his knife and turned the back of the knife and shouted and chopped it down.

Before Li Kaifang's big sword fell, the official was so scared that his body softened and he fainted. Xiao Yungui snorted heavily and said, "I thought he was such a tough guy, but he turned out to be an embroidered pillow, hahaha."

Following Xiao Yungui turned his head and asked a Qing army beside the official, saying, "Which dog official is this? If you don't want to die, just say it!"

The Qing army did not want to be loyal and benevolent for the emperor. After Xiao Yungui asked, he quickly replied: "This master is Weng Tongjue, the governor of Hunan, and Weng Fantai."

Xiao Yungui said, "Weng Tongjue, I don't know him, and immediately ordered Li Zuoche to take the fainted Weng Tongjue, and took a group of prisoners, preparing to lead troops to the governor's yamen. He didn't know that Weng Tongjue was the eldest brother of Weng Tonghe, the emperor of Guangxu, later generations. He was also unlucky enough. He was going to be transferred to the capital, but the new Hunan governor Pan Duo had not arrived yet, so he had to wait for the delivery in Changsha, but he did not expect that Changsha City was broken and he became a prisoner.

Following Xiao Yungui, he instructed Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang to lead troops to continue to capture the North Gate. Only more than a hundred people were left in the granary to take care of the fire, just not spread. They were all burned like this, and there was no need to save anyone.

When they arrived outside the Governor's Office, Zeng Shuiyuan and others led their troops to surround the Governor's Office and were attacking fiercely. The Qing army inside the yamen seemed to be different from the soldiers who were about to collapse outside. The muskets and bows and arrows were placed inside, and the Qing army fought to the death and refused to retreat. Zeng Shuiyuan and others returned in vain for several attacks.

After Xiao Yungui arrived, he looked at it for a while, frowned and pondered for a while, and called Li Zuoche to whisper a few words, Li Zuoche took dozens of people there.

After Zeng Shuiyuan and Ji Wenyuan came up to see each other, Ji Wenyuan cursed in the Hakka dialect of Guangxi: "Check that horse, the Qing demon here is really brave and will not retreat when he fights to the death. We are afraid that the soldiers will be too damaged, so we have not been able to conquer them. Please punish the Western King."

Xiao Yungui nodded and said, "It's okay, the trapped beasts are still fighting. If this Qing Dynasty Governor Luo Bingzhang brought these people to guard the South Gate, how could we easily conquer the South Gate? Our brothers' lives are also expensive. They are already hard to fly, so there is no need to let the brothers take risks. Everyone rested for a while, and we had our own way to deal with them when Li Zuoche came back."

After several soldiers gathered together, the governor's yamen was surrounded. At this time, the moon head had already risen to the treetops, and the sound of shouts and gunshots in the city were still fragmented and intermittent.

After a while, Li Zuoche brought people back and saw dozens of people wearing cloth heads in their hands, and a large stinking smell came overflowing.

Zeng Shuiyuan covered his nose and frowned: "His Royal Highness, what is this?"

Xiao Yungui also pinched his nose and said, "Dry horse manure! Li Zuoche, do as I said."

Li Zuoche took the order loudly, and wrapped the cloth head and horse manure outside with hay, and then stained it with tinder oil. After igniting under the torch, more than a dozen horse manure fire balls ignited and threw them into the courtyard wall of the governor's yamen from all directions.

After the dry horse manure was lit, thick smoke came out, which made people's noses and tears flowed. Xiao Yungui remembered that he had returned to his hometown in the countryside with his father when he was in junior high school. He had also had such a prank. He sighed and couldn't help but smile.

When the Qing army in the Yamen Mansion found something wrong, someone rushed out and wanted to pick up the horse manure bag and throw it out. The Taiping army lying on the wall of the courtyard had already seen it. The bows and arrows and muskets were placed in a mess. After the Qing army soldiers fell down, the rest retreated.

Li Zuoche kept bringing people to ignite horse manure bags and throwing them in. The more you threw them, you only heard more and more people coughing inside. The Taiping Army outside laughed in unison. Even Zeng Shuiyuan couldn't help laughing: "The King of the West is really too eager to be smart. This horse manure was originally used as wolf smoke, but I didn't think it could be used like this."

Xiao Yungui looked gloomy and smiled and said, "If the rats don't come out, just smoke them out!" He followed him and shouted, "Tell the Qing Yao inside that surrender quickly, or you may avoid death!"

The Taiping Army on the wall shouted, but the Qing army inside ignored it. After the thick smoke increased, it seemed that it had begun to stop. After another half an hour, more than a hundred horse manure bags picked up by Li Zuoche were thrown in, and the entire government office was shrouded in the thick smoke.

Li Zuoche frowned and said, "The King of the West, the Qing Dynasty refused to surrender. I'll pick up some horse manure."

Seeing that his "trick plan" was useless, Xiao Yungui was furious and said, "Du Qing Yao, he still refused to surrender. He exploded the wall of the courtyard and rushed in!"

Just as the Taiping soldiers buried red medicine under the courtyard wall, the vermilion gate of the governor's yamen opened with a creaking sound, and one person inside shouted: "I am willing to surrender, don't shoot arrows!"
