It was already late at night, and Chen Yucheng wore a robe in a dragon inspector's robe. Standing on the wooden wall, looking at the Qing army's earthen mountain, muttering, "It seems that a deadlock has been formed." At this time, he heard a crisp voice behind him and laughed: "Don't worry, Chen Jiandian, don't worry, my subordinates are here to give you a brilliant plan."

When Chen Yucheng looked back, he saw a woman in military uniform standing behind him with a sword behind him. Under the hazy moonlight, he saw this woman's bright eyes and beautiful face, but she smiled like a flower, but she had two very cute dimples on her face. When Chen Yucheng saw the woman, he stepped forward and grabbed her hand and said happily: "My sister, why are you here?"

This female general of Taiping is Zeng Wanmei, the granddaughter of Zeng Tianyang. She was only sixteen years old. When Zeng Tianyang was assigned to the West Palace, Zeng Wanmei followed her grandfather to the West Palace and was always in Hong Yuner's Jinxiu Camp. The history books never mentioned Zeng Wanmei, so when Hong Yuner heard about this girl, she was a little surprised, but then she felt relieved. After the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Hunan Army plundered Tianjing, and all the documents of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were burned down as demon books. Even some pitiful extant materials were preserved by foreigners, either rural unofficial history and Qing history drafts. How many of these are real? There are too many heroes in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom who did not leave biography or names, let alone Zeng Wanmei, a weak woman?

Zeng Wanmei was caught by Chen Yucheng, her pretty face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head and said, "My Lady Xi ordered me to send you a letter." Chen Yucheng and Zeng Wanmei had already known each other, and they were quite affectionate. Hong Yuner ordered Zeng Wanmei to come to deliver the letter this time because the little girl was too concerned about Chen Yucheng.

Chen Yucheng said in surprise: "Is there a letter from the Queen of the West?" He took the letter from Zeng Wanmei and opened it to see it. After reading it, his brows frowned slightly.

Zeng Wanmei asked in a strange look when she saw him, "Brother Chen, is there anything wrong with it?"

Chen Yucheng shook his head and said, "The letter from the Western King's Niang said that if the battle in Nanchang has become a deadlock, he should jump out of the Qing Yao front and guerrillas in the hinterland of Jiangxi. He will continue to gain and lose every city and place, and he should take the key to destroying the main force of Qing Yao."

Zeng Wanmei said with a oh, "What the Western Princess means is that we should not consume the royal devil under Nanchang City, take the initiative to retreat, and find an opportunity to annihilate the enemy?"

Chen Yucheng nodded and put the letter in his arms and said, "That's right, I think this is not what the Western King's intention is, it's probably the Western King's idea. When we came, the Western King told me many times that if we could win, we would fight, and if we couldn't win, we would leave. I was so angry that I forgot the Western King's instructions. Fortunately, the Western King's letter reminded me."

Zeng Wanmei blinked and said, "What should we do?"

Chen Yucheng looked up at the moon and said, "I just asked the villagers' guide here to see the moonlight tonight. There is a moon in the moon and the hazy moon. I think it will be a foggy weather in Nanchang tomorrow. Although the heavy fog will be inconvenient for our army to fight tomorrow, I think Qing Yao on the opposite side will be like me. I will also be controlled by heavy fog. I want to start retreating tonight."

Zeng Wanmei nodded and said, "But what should we do with Yang Fuqing and Yang Guozong?"

Chen Yucheng snorted softly, "At the beginning of the Battle of Nanchang, I advised him to destroy the Qing Demon reinforcements first, but he insisted that the Qing Demon in the city had no fighting spirit and wanted to break the city. I lacked enough troops and horses. Although I lost several consecutive defeats to Qing Demon reinforcements, I could never gather and annihilate them, so that today's situation was achieved. Yang Fuqing was so happy. Moreover, he arranged our troops to fight against the Qing Demon reinforcements in the south of the city, and it seemed that he also had the idea of ​​killing people with a knife."

Zeng Wanmei said anxiously: "I didn't expect that the people of the East King are so bad. Brother Chen, let's retreat now. Don't worry about them."

Chen Yucheng shook his head and said, "The King of the West has also said that we can't do anything to sell our teammates, but we won't be slaughtered. Well, let's do it, my sister, you and the artillery team will leave first tonight. I'll go to see Yang Fuqing later and tell him that our troops will retreat tomorrow and jump to the rear of the Qing Yao to attack the Qing Yao. Nanchang City is in a hurry and is also persuading him to withdraw his troops first and then make plans."

Zeng Wanmei nodded softly. Chen Yucheng called his personal guards to take Zeng Wanmei down to prepare, and ordered the artillery team and the baggage team to retreat overnight. However, he brought more than ten personal guards to Yang Fuqing's camp in the east of the city.

Zeng Wanmei followed the guards to the Zhengwei Pavilion in the baggage camp. She saw that there were wounded soldiers from the Taiping Army in the West Palace. Many Zhengwei officials and female soldiers in the female camp were busy rescuing the wounded. Zeng Wanmei had also rescued the wounded in the Zhengwei Pavilion. Seeing this, she rolled up her sleeves and went forward to help.

After a while, Chen Yucheng's order was issued, and Zhengjian began to collect the wounded. Except for the wounded who were being treated, the rest of the people began to clean up and prepare to retreat. The entire camp was brightly lit. They carried the injured onto the ox cart and horse cart, and transported them to the Ganjiang River to be picked up by the navy. The rest of the supplies were packed and taken away on the cart.

I don’t know how long it took, Zeng Wanmei helped Zheng Weiguan to perform amputation treatment for the last wounded person. Seeing the wounded being carried away by Zheng Weiguan from the Taiping Army, she washed away the blood stains on her hands and walked out of the camp. She saw that the moon head in the sky was already darker, and the sky became darker, but it was darker before dawn.

"My sister, why haven't you left yet?" Chen Yucheng's voice came over. When Zeng Wanmei looked back, she saw Chen Yucheng and several personal guards being instructed to retreat. When she saw her, she walked quickly.

Zeng Wanmei took two steps and smiled slightly, "Brother Chen, I'll leave. Well, what do you say from Yang Guozong?"

Chen Yucheng's face darkened and he said, "He said that if our West Palace is afraid of Qing Yao, you can leave by yourself."

Zeng Wanmei sighed and said, "The people in the East Palace have always been so arrogant. Brother Chen, are you angry?"

Chen Yucheng said lightly: "It doesn't matter if he, Yang Fu, insults me alone, but he can't joke about the lives of millions of soldiers. The battle in Nanchang has become a deadlock and is difficult to break. If other reinforcements from Qing Yao come again, it is afraid that it will be difficult to escape. He is unwilling to leave. Our West Palace cannot spend it with him anymore. I decided to bring five thousand soldiers and horses in the palace tomorrow, and the rest of the troops retreat to Poyang first."

When Zeng Wanmei heard that he was going to personally take the palace master, she couldn't help but worry, so she stepped forward and held his hand and said, "Brother Chen, why don't I stay with you in the palace master?"

Chen Yucheng turned cold and said, "Nonsai, have you forgotten the Western King's order? Unless all the men in the West Palace die, you will not let you female soldiers go to the battlefield." Then he shouted behind him: "Chen Mazi!"

One of Chen Yucheng's personal guards stepped forward and said, "I'm here!"

Chen Yucheng said: "You take Zeng Wanmei and the artillery team to leave first. If she leaves alone, I will punish you!"

The personal guard Chen Mazi responded loudly. Seeing that Chen Yucheng was so determined, Zeng Wanmei had to say he was careful and followed Chen Mazi first.

After Zeng Wanmei left, Lai Wenguang, a Taiping Army general next to Chen Yucheng, smiled and said, "Chen Jianbing, it seems that when the war in Jiangxi is over, we will be able to drink your wedding banquet when we return to Su Fu."

Chen Yucheng and his generals were like brothers. Lai Wenguang was an old brother in Guangxi. He had experienced many wars with the King of the West and was also an old acquaintance. He often joked with each other. When Lai Wenguang said this, Chen Yucheng's face couldn't help but feel a little warm and said dryly: "My sister has agreed to me that she will talk about marriage after her grandfather's three-year filial piety period."

Lai Wenguang nodded and said, "Yes, although our old brothers in the West Palace believe in God, they always have to guard the filial piety of our ancestors. Chen Jianbing, I am just worried that if we withdraw at the last battle this time, will the King of the East make the King of the West embarrassed..."

Chen Yucheng shook his head and said, "When the King of the West comes, I have told me that when I am about to come, I will decide on my own. But if there is any disagreement with the friendly forces, he will deal with the King of the East. Brother Lai, let's do our own thing."

Lai Wenguang nodded and said, "Yes, Yang Fuqing's child is not enough to make a decision. Our West Palace has no need to spend time with him. The Western Palace is right. Let's kill more Qing Yao. He will take over the East Palace and take over the city."

Chen Yucheng nodded and said, "Yes, I have known Yang Fuqing. No matter what, we will leave tomorrow, whether we will send troops to take over or retreat, we will all let him. Brother Lai, whenever we march in the heavy fog, we cannot command the troops with the command flag, and can only command the troops with war drums, gongs, horns and other objects. Tomorrow, the troops behind the palace should unite the war drums, gongs and horns, and the meaning of the horns, so that the soldiers and generals can act."

Lai Wenguang praised: "Okay, that's exactly what it should be. He advances when he hears the war drums, retreats when he hears the gongs, and suddenly fights when he hears the horns. He can only command with sounds in the fog. Later, I will reorganize the meanings expressed by each sound and issue them to each department. The orders must be unified tomorrow. Moreover, in the fog, it is most likely to lose its direction. The army should prepare more simple sesnans, which will be of great use tomorrow."

Chen Yucheng nodded, but frowned and said, "Tomorrow will be foggy, no sight, and the use of firearms is limited. What should I do?"

Lai Wenguang also frowned and said, "I am not familiar with using firearms in thick fog, so there is no better way."

Chen Yucheng nodded and said, "Since that's the case, we will order all divisions to prepare their swords and guns tomorrow. Our soldiers in the West Palace will not be afraid of Qing Demons except for using firearms and swords to fight with each other!" Lai Wenguang nodded and said yes, and ordered all divisions to prepare for their journey.

That night, the Taiping Army and the Qing army were preparing quietly. At the third anniversary, the Qing army and the Taiping Army all made food together to make full use of the soldiers. Following teams to the front of the camp, each department issued new orders to listen to the sound of drums, gongs and horns.

The Qing army also adjusted the cannons and fired them with just one order. After the brigade of muskets assembled as a reserve force, they waited in the second-line camp. In the tunnel, the Qing army buried tens of thousands of kilograms of gunpowder and pulled out the lead line, waiting for the order.

At the fourth update, the sky was still dark. Although it was not dawn, heavy fog had begun to appear. In the thick fog, the fire could not be seen within a few steps.

The Qing army obviously did not expect this heavy fog. Ronglu looked at the sky and muttered softly: "This fog is not the time to come. It seems that we should pay more attention to the changes in the sky in the future." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
