    On the hillside, Hong Yun'er shook her head and said: "It's a pity that our power in Zhili is too weak. After the last assassination attempt on the British and French missions, Bai Zetang and the Intelligence Department in Zhili suffered heavy losses in manpower. The remaining manpower  It¡¯s just enough to inquire about information, but I don¡¯t have the ability to do anything at the moment.¡±

    After Xiao Yungui walked back and forth for a few steps, he suddenly waved his big hand, clenched his fists and said resolutely: "We must send someone into the palace as an undercover agent, and someone must be able to lurk into the heart of the Qing Dynasty. It depends on manpower. If we knew that there was  If we don¡¯t do anything despite the danger, God will abandon us!¡±

    Hong Yun'er crossed her arms and smiled lightly and said: "It is necessary to send people to sneak into the palace. Just do as much as you can." Following her, she pursed her lips and said to Yang Fuqing's troops and the Citi Army, who were still fighting in the distance:  "What we should do now is clean up the mess here."

    Xiao Yungui waved his cloak, walked a few steps forward, and stood upright on the slope like a statue. Looking at the tragic battle of Yang Fuqing's troops chasing the Citi Army, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said: "We will proceed as planned here.  However, Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng are ordered to take action!"

    ¡­¡­

    But it was said that Yang Fuqing commanded the soldiers and horses in Chunhua Town to pursue the Citi Army, and the Citi Army fled to its Fangshan camp. There were still remaining soldiers and horses there to respond, so the Citi Army could only retreat to Fangshan.

    Pursuing to the foot of Fangshan Mountain, to the west is the ancient Moling Pass, and to the south of the mountain is Fangshandai.  In ancient times, to the north of Nanjing, there was the Yangtze River, which was also a golden waterway. To the north, there were two waterways, Hangou and Chaohu, connecting the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers from the east to the west. To the south of Nanjing, it was a weak link in waterway transportation.  The terrain of Jinling is higher than that of the Taihu Lake Basin in Sanwu, and there are no navigable rivers.  At the end of Han Dynasty, Sun Wu ruled Jiangnan.  In order to meet the needs of the war, the Wu people connected the rivers of Nanjing and the Taihu Lake system into a line through artificial transformation. This became the only choice to make up for natural defects.

    The people of Wu named the project "Bolgangdu", which is a real carving out of mountains and ridges.  Fangshan is the end point of Pogangdu, and Fangshandai is built in the south of the mountain.  Dai is an earth dam that crosses the river.  Pogangdu is high in the middle and low at both ends. It has to pass through fourteen dais up and down along the way.  The Taihu boat can be lifted step by step to Jurong, then sail down to Fangshan, enter the city via the Qinhuai River, and finally enter the Wu Palace.

    Because the land blocks traffic arteries, Fangshan has been involved in wars many times.  At the end of the Han Dynasty, Sun Ce settled in Jiangdong and fought his first tough battle in the ancient Moling City.  Not only did they fail, but the city was also not captured.  His main opponent, the Nanjing native warlord Zuo Rong, was not only good at fighting, but also the first Buddhist in Moling.

    At that time, Moling County was located at Moling Pass to the west of Fangshan. According to folklore, Zuo Rong was chased by Sun Ce to Fangshan and died after falling off his horse.  The place name of Zuorongdaimajian was left behind.  In fact, Sun Ce's attack was unsuccessful, so he had to bypass Moling and go straight to Qu'a, the lair of Zuo Rong's boss Liu Yao.  Zuo Rong later fell out with his boss Liu Yao and died due to internal strife.  The name Fangshan really appeared in war history during the Liu and Song Dynasties.  In order to resist the attack of his younger brother Liu Jun (later Emperor Xiaowu), Liu Shao, who killed his father, Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty, ordered the attack on Fangshandai.  Prevent the Eastern Army from entering Jiankang.

    After Yang Fuqing's troops arrived at Fangshan, he also knew that it was easy to defend but difficult to attack. At the same time, if the Citi Army retreated to Moling Pass or defended Fang Shandai and Fang Shan's main mountain, Yang Fuqing would feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, the Citi Army had always been short of food, grass, and equipment.  , now that morale is greatly depressed, it shouldn't be difficult to take this place by storm.  Yang Fuqing had made up his mind to get rid of the Citi Army's inner enemy at once, and immediately loudly ordered all the troops to reorganize their formations and prepare to attack the mountain.

    Yang Fuqing's Taiping Army began to reorganize amidst the rumbling drums and horns. Teams of spear teams, sword teams, and musketeers were formed. They were the only elite soldiers and horses left in the East Palace. Yang Fuqing returned to Tianjing this time to lead  The people who returned were all elite confidants, while most of the soldiers newly recruited by Dongdian in Jiangxi stayed in Jiangxi to guard it.

    Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the Taiping Army of the East Hall shouted neat slogans: "Slay the demons, kill the evil and keep the good!" According to the formation, they slowly began to set up an array at the foot of Fangshan. Like all troops using mixed hot and cold weapons, Yang Fuqing  The main array still started with a musket array at the front, a spear array at the back, a broadsword team at the side and rear, cavalry on both wings, and some scattered archers in the musket array as the second long-range strike force.

    After the formation was completed, the smoke gradually dissipated. Seeing the lineup of the Taiping Army in the East Hall, the Citi Army on Fangshan suddenly became commotion.  Chen Rong and Lu Wei finally escaped back to Fangshan, but Deng Xiang died in the rebellion. The two led more than a thousand remnants of the army to flee back to the mountain. The more than 10,000 Citizen troops who stayed on the mountain saw the defeated troops return.  , all horrified.

    "Damn Yang Fuqing really dares to kill him with a knife, let's fight with them!" "If we have complaints and revenge, we are not easy to bully!" "You can't swallow this breath if you die with your eggs in the sky, do it!"  Damn it!" When these unruly gangsters in the past saw their family members suffering a loss, they naturally became excited.  But when the war drums and horns of the Taiping Army in the East Hall sounded, everyone fell silent again. When the dust settled, they could clearly see the sun.When they saw the strict and solemn formation of the army, all the Citizen soldiers began to beat their hearts.

    After Chen Rong returned to the mountain, he fell off his horse and sat on the ground, breathing heavily. He then shouted loudly and asked: "Where is Aunt Zhai Huo? Where are the others?" The general who stayed behind replied: "Brother Zhai has disappeared in the morning.  ." Chen Rong spat on the ground with a mouthful of phlegm and cursed: "Damn it, Miss Zhai Huo, you dare to cheat on me, I want you to look good!"

    Lu Wei then dared to come, with a bloody face and a bloody knife in his hand. He looked very embarrassed and stepped forward to say to Chen Rong: "Brother Chen, now is not the time for angry words. This thief Yang Fuqing is determined to destroy him this time."  We should order everyone to form a formation quickly and defend the mountain. As long as we stay until night, we can break out under the cover of darkness!" Lu Wei was quite a smart person, and he instantly thought of a way to deal with the current dangerous situation.

    Chen Rong finally came to his senses, but when he saw the Taiping Army's lineup, he also murmured in his heart and said with some hesitation: "Brother Lu, Yang Fuqing's more than 50,000 people are surrounding Fangshan. We can hold it."  What?"

    Lu Wei was very anxious and said loudly: "Brother Chen, you have to defend if you can't hold on. If you run away from the mountain now, you will never be able to escape Yang Fuqing's cavalry, and if you escape like this, it will be difficult to gather people's morale!"

    Chen Rong no longer hesitated, so he ordered the remaining 10,000 Citi Army soldiers on Fangshan Mountain to guard the passages up the mountain and prepare for a fierce battle with Yang Fuqing.

    Seeing that the Citi Army was starting to riot on the mountain, Yang Fuqing called a brigade commander and ordered him to take people to send a message asking the Citi Army to abandon their weapons and surrender. As long as they agreed to accept reorganization, Yang Fuqing could save their lives.

    After a pack of cigarettes, Yang Fuqing's oral message was brought to Chen Rong, and Chen Rong became a little more interested. After all, the outcome of the fight was unknown, and if he surrendered, he would still have a way to survive!

    Seeing that Chen Rong was hesitating again, Lu Wei immediately jumped up and raised his knife to drive Yang Fuqing's messenger down the mountain. Chen Rong said angrily: "What are you doing? Aren't you going to cut off our retreat?"

    Lu Wei sneered and said: "Brother Chen, you are too naive. Have you forgotten how the Northern King deceived the Dongdian soldiers into entering Tianjing City and massacred them? What is the difference between our surrender now and those dead Dongdian soldiers?"  Yang Fuqing is no worse than Wei Changhui in cruelty! And we have been killed by them so many people, so let¡¯s forget it? Finally, everyone on the mountain can surrender, but we can¡¯t! The other soldiers Yang Fuqing can still accept, how many of us can  He is the leader, but Yang Fuqing must be killed!"

    Chen Rong shook his head and then woke up. He stood up, raised his knife and shouted loudly: "Fuck you, let's fight Yang Fuqing!"

    Seeing that the Citi Army refused to surrender at the foot of the mountain, Yang Fuqing said nothing. With a wave of the flag, the Taiping Army slowly pressed forward and began to attack the mountain amidst the rumbles of muskets and mountain-splitting cannons.

    Although the Taiping Army was several times larger than the Citi Army, it always attacked the hills from above. Moreover, the Citi Army was an army that fought to the death. Even if they fought desperately, they could still withstand the enemy.  The two sides had been fighting for more than an hour. The mountain was covered with the corpses of soldiers on both sides. Blood flowed down the mountain road, making the mountain road even more slippery.

    For a long time, the Taiping Army of Yang Fuqing has always been a lot of people. Under the rushing of various ministries, the Citi Army on the mountain gradually showed a fatigue.

    Two brothers, Tan Xing and Tan Fu, armed with sharp knives and covered in mud and blood, rushed to Chen Rong. Tan Xing said loudly with a bitter face: "Brother Chen, brothers can't hold on anymore, why don't we break out and escape!"

    Lu Wei shouted loudly: "No! We must defend until dark! At this time, the brothers can still hold on with one breath. If we waver even a little bit, we will immediately be defeated! We can only wait until dark before breaking out, otherwise we  No one can escape!"

    Tan Fu said angrily: "We are asking Brother Chen, what did you say?! The leader of Citigroup is still Brother Chen, not you Lu Wei!"

    Lu Wei was furious, drew his sword and yelled: "Are you going to shake the morale of the army?!"

    Tan Xing was not to be outdone: "You, a poor scholar, have long known that you have the same bad intentions as Aunt Zhai Huo!"

    Chen Rong stood up and shouted loudly: "What are you doing?! Stay back!"

    Lu Wei turned around and said to Chen Rong: "Brother Chen, the matter is urgent. Please give an order to kill anyone who refuses again!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Wei's head was seen flying into the sky, and Chen Rong's face was splashed with blood. The Citi Army guards around him were all shocked. Tan Xing stood in front of Lu Wei's headless body with a bloody blade in his hand and said with a ferocious smile: "Chen Rong  Brother, this guy must be with Zhai Huogu. We can't listen to him anymore. Our brothers have to lead their own troops and leave first. You can make up your own mind!" After that, the two brothers Tan Xing and Tan Fu led their own guards.  He separated from the crowd and walked away.

    Chen Rong looked horrified and slowly fell to the ground. The guards on his left and right hurriedly supported him.The little leader asked eagerly: "Chief Chen, what should we do?" "Chief Chen, you should make up your mind."

    Chen Rong smiled bitterly and said: "Let's break up, let's all break up. We have always had our own secrets and discord. It's ridiculous that we imitate other people's killing of officials and rebellion. This is what we deserve!" Seeing Chen Rong waiting like this!  The few leaders looked at each other and shouted, taking their own men and fleeing in different directions.
