Amid the trembling cheers, Zuo Zongtang hurriedly tied up the horses. Seeing that the Taiping Army soldiers put away their swords and guns, they began to get busy. There were people from each team who specialized in treating the wounded, picking up weapons, and the soldiers responsible for picking up weapons. The gunpowder was particularly meticulous, and each Qing soldier's body had to be turned upwards. Zuo Zongtang found that these soldiers attached great importance to money, grain and gunpowder, especially the red medicine they mentioned (i.e. gunpowder) they said was particularly precious. Zuo Zongtang also understood that it was not easy to prepare gunpowder. The Taiping Army now occupied not much territory, and was wandering and wandering. Red medicine could not be made up in large quantities and could only be purchased through smuggling channels.

Xiao Yungui rode his horse to Zuo Zongtang and laughed and said, "Mr. Zuo, how about this battle?"

Although Zuo Zongtang was arrogant, he was a sincere gentleman. He could not say anything against his will, so he nodded slightly and said, "The Western King's army was majestic, with one mind, and his formation was unique in its use of military tactics. Zuo admired it very much."

Xiao Yungui smiled and said, "It's rare that Mr. Zuo praises him."

Zuo Zongtang bowed his hand and asked, "Justice's method of marching and setting up formations is very mysterious just now. I wonder if it is possible to tell you in detail?"

Xiao Yungui was very proud. It was rare for Zuo Zongtang to ask for advice. He immediately talked endlessly on the horse's back. These methods of marching and formation were left by Xiao Chaogui, and it was not difficult to describe them: "Just just now, the king used the lineup and the crab lineup. This lineup was in the form of a marching formation to prevent the enemy from attacking. Whenever our army marched toward the city and countryside from now on, it would be ordered to walk. Every two Sima held a flag, followed by twenty-five people, one hundred people, one hundred people, one hundred people, one Zhang Lu Zheng Banner, and two thousand five hundred people, one Zhang Shi Zheng Banner.

, 12,500 people will be on the side of the banner of the army. One army will advance one after another. The wide road will be divided into two lines, and the narrow road will be single-way, advancing in a row, and the decisive will be carried out in an orderly manner. During the march, once an encounter occurs, the first and the last will be connected in a row, gathering in an instant, forming a round formation to meet the enemy. If the battle is not good, the generals will beat the gong and retreat, and they will still defend the battle formation. At this time, if the road is wide, it can be divided into ten lines and twenty lines, but you must not run sideways, and you must retreat in a row. If the line is in a hurry, the enemy will often not catch up. Even if you catch up, you will not dare to chase the team."

Xiao Yungui said proudly: "The crab formation is a frequent method of matching formation. Three teams walk in parallel. The middle team has few people, and the two wings have a large number of people, which looks like crabs, so it is called the crab formation. This formation also changes according to the enemy's situation. If the enemy only divides the left and right teams, the squadron of the formation will divide the left and right wings, and it will also form two teams. If the enemy has one team in front and back, the front wings will be combined into one team, and the left and right wings will be combined into one team, and the left and right wings will be combined into one team, and the left and right wings will be combined into one team, and the left and right wings will be combined into one team, and the left and right wings will be combined into one team, and the left and right wings will be combined into one team, so that the front team will be connected to the front team. If the enemy has more soldiers on the left, it will become the left side. If the enemy has more soldiers on the left side, it will become the right side. If the enemy has more soldiers on the left side, it will become the right side. If the enemy has more soldiers on the left side, it will become the right side. If the enemy has more soldiers on the left side, it will become the right side. If the enemy has more soldiers on the left side, it will become the right side. If the enemy has more soldiers on the left side, it will become the right side. If the enemy has more soldiers on the left side, it will become the right side. If the enemy has more soldiers on the left side, it will become the right side. If the enemy has more soldiers on the left side, it will become the right side. If the enemy has more soldiers on the left side, it will become the right side. If the enemy has more soldiers on the left side, it will become the right side. If the enemy has more soldiers on the left side, it will become the right side. If the enemy has more soldiers on the left side, it will become the right side. If the enemy has more soldiers on the left side, it will become the right side. If the enemy

The four and five teams are also divided into four and five teams to fight in sequence. The big crabs are particularly famous. The method is either to fight the enemy with a small formation first, then to encircle the enemy, or to pretend to be defeated and lure to chase, and ambushing the enemy. Although the changes in the crab formation are complicated, it is to lose the left and right, move back and forth, and the use is to move at the sight of the opportunity and command the front. The rapid and slow movement of the advance and retreat, only a few flag bears should be practiced, and the whole army should look at the flag and go to the wall. Therefore, a military can command the masses without any unevenness, and provide a summary of the main points, which can be used to simplify the complex."

Zuo Zongtang remembered in his heart, and finally Xiao Yungui breathed a sigh of relief: "In fact, no matter how good the formation is, the soldiers must practice it well before they can act. The circular formation I arranged is still insufficient. I heard that Western countries have more powerful linear arrays and hollow square arrays, and there are more Western weapons than us. The soldiers' training is better than us, and the formation is naturally more powerful."

Zuo Zongtang was slightly stunned. Why did Xiao Yungui, who was still content with his complacent just now, change his tone and talk about the Western military strategy? But how did he, a man from Guangxi, learn about the Western warfare? Just as he was suspicious, a wave of prayers came from his ears. Zuo Zongtang looked in his voice and saw several Taiping Army military officers reciting the Lord's prayers of the God Cult to the bodies of Taiping soldiers who died in battle.

Zuo Zongtang then realized it and secretly thought that the God Cult was preached from the West. It is not surprising that worshipping the God Cult naturally learned the Western tactics from the missionaries. Understanding this section, Zuo Zongtang originally wanted to ask some more methods of confrontation, but saw Xiao Yungui looking at him with a strange smile. His heart suddenly sank, and he was secretly shouting that he must have made up his mind and would not let him go. Since he heard that his military secret was secret, he would be considered to be here, whether he died or lived.

Thinking of this, Zuo Zongtang couldn't help but sweat from his forehead, and his expression became a little anxious. Xiao Yungui looked at it and laughed secretly. He did deliberately tell Zuo Zongtang these tactics. He said slowly: "Mr. Zuo, I am grateful to each other and respect me very much. Now he is even more heart-to-heart. The general's secrets are reported to me. Can you leave a helping me?"

Zuo Zongtang uh, "This..."

Xiao Yungui smiled again and said, "Does sir really want me to come out like Liu Bei visited the cottage three times during the Three Kingdoms?"

Zuo Zongtang said anxiously: "No, it's just that you believe in foreign religions, which is very different from my Chinese language..."

Xiao Yungui said again: "This matter is easy to talk about. Mr. must not understand that I worship God's religion. It is inconvenient to speak here. After we return to the city, I asked my wife to tell you in detail. In fact, the God of God, I, in ancient China, have existed." At that time, Zuo Zongtang did not allow him to say much, so he ordered the army to set off back to the city.

After returning to Changsha City, it was already dark, and after the war, Li Kaifang, Li Yiwen and others handled the matter. Xiao Yungui ordered Deng Yi and others to be taken into the Governor's jail, so he wanted to take Zuo Zongtang back to the Governor's yamen.

When Zuo Zongtang saw Deng Yi and others being taken down, he hurriedly asked for advice: "The King of the Western Republic, Deng Yi and others are all scholars, so please forgive me."

Xiao Yungui touched his nose and smiled, "Mr. Zuo, if you say this to me as a counselor or an aide, I will definitely listen."

Zuo Zongtang was speechless and had to watch Deng Yi and others being taken away, with a very ugly expression.

Xiao Yungui laughed and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Zuo is still so determined. Well, Deng Yi and the other three were locked up with Hunan Governor Luo Bingzhang and other Qing demon officials. Their treatment is the same as that of a provincial governor. It is not considered abuse. Young people will only become the best if they suffer some pain." He looked old-fashioned. In fact, he was only over 20 years old in his previous life. Zuo Zongtang couldn't say anything after hearing this, so he had to secretly plan countermeasures.

Xiao Yungui was planning to meet with the governor's yamen, but when he saw Li Kaifang step forward and clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness the Western King, I will do everything after the war. But according to the rules of the Kingdom of Heaven, I have won a lot of victories these days, so I should also pay a lot of victories to God. This kind of prayer for victory should be carried out more grandly, and there is no emergency war on both sides. Should I prepare for it tomorrow and do it the day after tomorrow?"

When Xiao Yungui heard this, he remembered that the Taiping Army wanted to pray to the Father before and after the expedition. War is a major event of the country. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which connects the daily movements of life with God, is closely linked to God for war. Every time before going to war and fighting, or after victory or defeat, he must pray to God to ask God to give victory. After victory, he must also pay homage to Heavenly Father, thank God for his blessings and let the army win triumphantly. Even if he is defeated, he must pray to Heavenly Father, and the defeated will pray to Heavenly Father for forgiveness of his sins. People in the Heavenly Kingdom believe that defeat must be someone who makes a mistake, and those who are defeated will bear the responsibility, pray to Heavenly Father, God, and find out the reasons for the defeated war to pay homage to Heavenly Father.

Prayer of victory usually chooses a spacious place, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people to stand and kneel down, and orders all teams of officers and soldiers to prepare chickens, pigs, sandalwood and other items. All military forces must be serious and wait for their brothers to come so that they can lead the officers and soldiers to cheer and worship Heavenly Father, and reason, and enlighten fools. Since Xiao Yungui conquered Changsha, he has been busy with war and government affairs in the city. Zeng Shuiyuan originally asked him that he would pray for victory, but he has been ruling by Xiao Yungui on the grounds that his military was not determined and he still had to go out to fight. However, in the past two days, the Qing army's troops retreated slightly, so this ceremony should be held.

Although Xiao Yungui didn't like this kind of red tape, he thought that it was the tradition of the Taiping Army, and he couldn't say that he wouldn't do it. Secondly, he began to believe in his heart that thanking God. It was a kind of kindness to let himself meet Hong Yun'er again. He nodded and said, "Okay, you and Brother Lin will discuss with Zeng Shuiyuan later and come up with a way to report it to me."

Li Kaifang was overjoyed. It was the supreme glory that he could participate in the establishment of overcoming prayer. He could not accept his status and favor from the top. He immediately received the order and left.

Zuo Zongtang frowned and said, "West King, you are extremely diligent in worshiping God."

Xiao Yungui laughed and said, "This is true for our people. Once we ask the Gods for their blessings in our hearts, we will believe it for the rest of our lives. I have won consecutive victories. It is also appropriate to thank the Emperor. Let's go back first."

Back at the Governor's Office, Xiao Yungui and Zuo Zongtang had not eaten until now. They had a fierce battle. They were both hungry. While Xiao Yungui ordered his subordinates to serve food, he asked where the Queen of the West was. The answer he got was that Queen of the West went to the female camp. Xiao Yungui had to take Zuo Zongtang for dinner first and ordered someone to find Queen of the West to come back.

However, Hong Yun'er returned to the city and had just rested in the governor's yamen before she received news that the Qing army was approaching Liuyang. She was anxious to find Xiao Yungui to come back to discuss. Before she could send someone out of the mansion, news came that Xiao Yungui led Li Kaifang and Li Yiwen led a thousand troops to fight.

Hong Yuner frowned and thought to herself that this kid would not discuss it with her, but she still treated herself as a woman. She was secretly angry, but she was still worried about his safety. She couldn't sit still in the mansion, so she took Yao Yuan and others to the Dongmen Women's Camp station, saying that she was inspecting it. In fact, the Dongmen Women's Camp station was close to Liuyang Gate, and she could know what news was sent back as soon as possible.

As soon as he arrived at the female camp, Hu Damei, the coach of the female camp, came up with a girl dressed in a farm girl. After the greeting, Hu Damei took the girl's hand and said to Hong Yuner: "Xi Wang Niang, this little sister is Li Xuanji. She came to the city to find her own brother..." Hu Damei said about Li Xuanji's origin and said: "This little sister is amazing. She knows a lot of words, and she is pitiful. Can Xi Wang Niang help her? It's not appropriate to keep us in the men's camp."

When Hong Yuner saw that Li Xuanji was beautiful and looked like a lady from a wealthy family, she felt very fond of her. When she heard that she was still a literate person, she said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to go to the men's camp to look for it."

Li Xuanji's eyes turned red, and Yingying bowed: "Thank you, thank you, Hu Luxue."

Hu Damei smiled and said, "This Li's little sister has such a good memory. I told her that our female camp brigade coach wanted to call Lu Xue and she remembered it."

Hong Yuner also smiled and said, "He is a good person. Li Xiaomei will follow me first. When you find your brother, you will decide to stay." At that moment, Li Xuanji had no choice but to agree.
