It is said that when Deng Shaoliang climbed onto Yanzi Ridge that night, there was no one on the ridge. After searching around, the Qing army soldiers found a path in the dense forest in the northeast corner. They found a local yamen officer and asked, but they didn't know where the path led.

I saw that the trail was rugged and difficult to walk, and only one person could pass through. Deng Shaoliang saw that the road was dark and he was afraid that he would be ambushed along the road, so he had to retreat to the bottom of the ridge for the time being.

After reaching Yanzi Ridge, Deng Shaoliang ordered people to take some losses. The Qing army suffered a total of more than 300 casualties on this Yanzi Ridge, and there were less than 60 thief corpses on Yanzi Ridge, all of which were women and half-large demon children.

After receiving the report, Deng Shaoliang was furious and immediately wanted to raise his troops to continue chasing. He hurriedly persuaded him, saying that the long-haired thief was very cunning and chasing him dark and windy at night, and it was very easy to be in a hiding place. In the previous battle of Yong'an, he was in a big disaster in Dadong. Moreover, the soldiers fought for a long time and were quite tired. It was better to rest and pursue him again.

Deng Shaoliang then slowly calmed down. This was the case in the Yong'an Dadong Battle at the beginning of spring this year. The long-haired thief who trapped Yong'an that night took advantage of the heavy rain to break through from Yong'an. The Qing army of various troops chased after him, captured more than 2,000 relatives of the bandits and bandits, and captured a thief head Hong Daquan who claimed to be the King of Heaven. The Qing army of the Qing army was exhausted after pursuing overnight. The generals asked for a temporary suspension of the pursuit, but the imperial envoy of the bandit suppression minister Sai Shanga refused and said that he would pursue it for a while.

If you capture the King of Tiande, if you grit your teeth and pursue it for a while, wouldn’t you capture the bandits in one net? At that time, regardless of the generals’ words, you ordered the generals to raise troops to chase them. As a result, the Qing army in Dadong was ambushed by two troops by the Western King of Taiping Army Xiao Chaogui and the Yi King Shi Dakai. On the spot, the General of Yunyang Shao Heling, the General of Liangzhou Changshou, the General of Hebei Dong Xingjia, and the General of Tianjin Changrui, a total of four generals, and thousands of soldiers were damaged, which was a disastrous defeat of the Qing army.

Now Deng Shaoliang has only hundreds of troops, and chasing him overnight is an extremely dangerous move. Under the persuasion of the generals, Deng Shaoliang had to instruct the entire army to rest for one night and chase him tomorrow morning.

Before dawn, last night, he was ordered to chase the long-haired spy and brought people back. The one who took three long-haired spys and sent them to Deng Shaoliang's tent. Deng Shaoliang immediately tried it at night.

The three long-haired spies were all from the Tiandihui under Tong Qiangsheng. At first, they refused to admit it. Deng Shaoliang was extremely vicious. After torture, the three of them confessed. They learned that the Changsha city was the Long-haired Pseudo-Western King, and the one who fought with him last night was the Long-haired Pseudo-Western King, the Pseudo-Heaven King, and the girl of the East King. Deng Shaoliang was extremely surprised. After ordering people to push out the three spies to beheaded and displayed, Deng Shaoliang touched the goatee beard and squinted his eyes and calculated in his heart. Now Changsha is trapped in the hands of the Long-haired Pseudo-Western King. If Deng Shaoliang could capture the wife of the Pseudo-Western King alive, threatening or persuading surrender in front of the formation, he might have received miraculous effects. Moreover, this pseudo-Heavenly King Yumei was an important figure, and it would be a magical achievement to be able to hold it. At that time, can the general and the admiral's official position still run away?

Thinking of the proud part, Deng Shaoliang burst into laughter, but the laughter suddenly stopped abruptly and he delayed all night. What if the pseudo-West Queen Mother had already led her troops to flee into Changsha City? Thinking of this, Deng Shaoliang couldn't help but disperse himself secretly. It seemed that wealth and honor were still like clouds. While sighing, Ge Shiha outside the account reported that a squire and a few servants came to report the news and said that he had found a trace of a long-haired thief.

Deng Shaoliang was overjoyed and immediately heard the gentry. After some detailed questions, it turned out that the gentry had gone to Jingtang Village to collect rent. Last night, a large number of long-haired, big-footed mangos came to the village with red scarves. The gentry had long heard that the gangsters with red scarves were killing wealthy families, so he brought several followers to smear and ran out overnight. When he saw the official army brigade, he came to report the news.

Deng Shaoliang was surprised and asked Ming that the people who entered the village were all big-footed Man Po. He thought that these people were the pseudo-West King's army that fought fiercely with him last night. He immediately praised the gentry for a few words and asked him to go back. Deng Shaoliang was always stingy and did not even give the gentry a penny. He followed the order of the tent, Geshiha summoned the generals to obey the orders.

After a while, the generals arrived one after another. As soon as General Deng Shaoliang heard the news, he issued a military order. The entire army immediately set off the camp and headed north to siege Jingtang Village, and it is necessary to wipe out the Taiping Army.

Before dawn, the Qing army had already left the team to attack Jingtang Village. When it was dawn, they had already arrived outside Jingtang Village. This Jingtang Village was named Jingtang, which was named because there were many ponds around the village. Deng Shaoliang looked at the terrain of the village and couldn't help frowning. There were only two roads to enter the village, east and west, and large ponds and depressions in the north and south, which were conducive to defense but not attacking. After thinking for a while, he was still eager to make contributions, so he ordered the generals to go out to attack Jingtang Village, and ordered the entire army to capture the female generals of the thief army alive and reward three thousand taels of silver.

Deng Shaoliang's Qing army was a veteran of the long-term suppression of thieves. They received the rewards and rewards by suppressing thieves. They bullied the people wherever they went to suppress thieves. They were even more fierce than the real long-haired thieves. They heard the rewards of thieves of thieves, which was a lot more than last night. The originally listless group of soldiers were lit up their green eyes, screaming, holding their spears and big swords, and rushed over along the road to the west into the village.

Although Deng Shaoliang was stingy, he knew the key to leading troops. He always said that he would reward you with three thousand taels. His soldiers and generals knew the nature of Deng Xietai, and everyone was brave enough to reward him with great rewards.

After approaching the entrance of the village, dozens of muskets came out from the back of the houses in several village houses at the entrance of the village. After a burst of guns filled with smoke, more than ten Qing soldiers rushing in front fell to the ground.

The Qing army was still scared of the sharp firearms of the big-footed mana last night, but the power of the muskets this morning seemed to be much worse than last night. After a rogue of guns, it became silent. The Qing army was very happy, and the leader Qian shouted: "There are not much medicine for the long-haired thieves. Everyone rushed in and captured the female generals of the bandit alive. Rewards of 3,000 taels of silver!"

The brigade of Qing troops then rushed into the entrance of the village, and heard a clapper sound behind the old locust trees in the village. Behind the house in the village, a large number of big-footed man and demon children came out. Some people also stood on the window and rooftops, and kept firing muskets, bows, and even flying stones at the Qing army that was surrounded by the entrance of the village.

The Taiping female soldiers and the boy soldiers who rushed out were all brave, including the female soldiers' pennant silver shield scimitar, the boy soldiers' rattan long sword, everyone fought bravely, just like enemies meeting. The Qing army was shocked by the sudden momentum and its aura was greatly reduced, and the timids behind them thought of scattering away.

Seeing this, Deng Shaoliang shouted loudly, drew his sword and came forward, shouting loudly, "Don't retreat, those who violate the orders will be killed!" After that, he raised his sword and personally cut off a soldier who retreated from his war horse. More than ten Geshihas around Deng Shaoliang drew their weapons one after another, staring at the soldiers who wanted to retreat, ready to kill the defeated soldiers who retreated at any time.

Seeing this attitude, the Qing army soldiers knew that they could only advance but not retreat, so they had to withstand the Taiping Army's offensive to the death.

The Qing army did not retreat. After the two armies fought closely for a while, the female soldiers and the boy soldiers were still ineffective. The Qing army was both adult and strong, and they suppressed the bandits for many years and gradually pushed into the village.

Seeing that the Taiping female soldiers and the boy soldiers could not resist the enemy, Hong Xuanjiao's heart slowly sank. She led the team to rush forward and barely stabilize the situation. However, the Qing army did not retreat, and the female soldiers were not strong enough and gradually fell at a disadvantage.

Hong Xuanjiao's swords were magical, and his sword skills were so fast that he was pierced by the yellow turbans. The Qing army shouted, "The female thief who pierced the yellow turbans is here!" "It's her, my mother, she looks so beautiful, like a fairy." "I will hold it later, be happy first, hahaha."

A group of Qing troops, like wolves and tigers, rushed towards Hong Xuanjiao and surrounded Hong Xuanjiao and dozens of female guards under her. Hu Damei and others wanted to come to rescue him, but were stopped by the Qing army.

Seeing that there were more and more Qing troops around her, Hong Xuanjiao began to panic. She didn't want to be captured by the Qing army. This group of Qing army, which was inferior to beasts, was very cruel. Instead of suffering all the humiliation before death, it would be better to give yourself a pleasure before being captured.

Hong Xuanjiao flew over with his swords and killed several Qing soldiers. The fewer female guards around her were fighting. The calf hurt suddenly. She was indeed stabbed by a spear of a Qing army. She bit her silver teeth and a long sword in her left hand flew out, and was slashing the Qing soldiers' faces. The Qing soldiers immediately fell straight to the ground and died.

Seeing that Hong Xuanjiao was injured, the female soldier hurriedly protected her in the middle. Hong Xuanjiao held a knife in one hand, and her green-colored robe and clothes were covered with blood. She raised her eyebrows and said loudly to the female soldier beside her: "If it really doesn't work later, I'll give me some fun! Don't let Qing Yao capture me alive! Avoid being defiled by Qing Yao!"

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom believed in Christian doctrine and did not allow believers to commit suicide without authorization. Hong Xuanjiao himself could not do anything, so he ordered the female soldiers around him to do it for him.

The female soldiers beside him were shocked and did not dare to obey. Seeing that there were more and more Qing troops, there were only more than ten female soldiers left by their side. Hong Xuanjiao bit her silver teeth and put her sword on her snow-white neck. At this critical moment, a female soldier suddenly shouted: "It seems to be the banner of the Western King!"

Amid the cheers, Hong Xuanjiao looked up and saw that the Qing army outside the village was in chaos. In the dust and smoke, the Taiping cavalry rushed over. A yellow silk and white flag of the Western King came in the wind. Hong Xuanjiao slowly put down the long sword in his hand and breathed out, "I finally saved." She shouted sternly: "Sisters, our reinforcements have arrived, everyone will kill the Qing demon!"

When the Qing army saw a large number of Taiping cavalry outside the village arrived, they were so scared that they all retreated. The female Taiping soldiers and boy soldiers in the village took advantage of the situation to fight and cooperated with the Taiping cavalry outside the village, killing the Qing army to flee. Deng Shaoliang relied on the fast horse and broke through the siege and escaped for more than ten miles in one breath. Only more than ten people were following him, and fled back to Xiangtan like a dog with a broken family.
