    The sky is gradually getting brighter, just as Zhuman reported to our Prince Zhang secretly. The sky is just dawning. Seeing that our Prince Zhang has not raised his tent, the Qing army headed by Niyahan, Shushu, Eqi and Mu Chenger  The generals came to the commander-in-chief together to ask for an audience, and begged our Lord Zhang to retreat immediately, so as not to be surrounded by the fat army and suffer even heavier losses.  The result was very natural and beyond the expectations of the generals of the Qing army, our Lord Zhang rejected this cowardly and cowardly escape plan, resolutely and resolutely decided to stand still and continue to attack Taiping City by looking for opportunities.

    "My lord, I'm sorry for my slave's blunt words. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to continue to stay in Taiping City." Niyahan insisted: "Taiping City's garrison has sufficient troops and complete fortifications.  However, our army is surrounded by Wugou in Taiping Mansion, Jiangning Mansion, Wuhu and Fanchang. The most correct choice if we miss a single hit is to flee away immediately.  Our army, then our army is in danger. I also hope that the prince will order the withdrawal of the army as soon as possible for the sake of the lives of the soldiers of the three armies."

    "I hope that the prince will order the withdrawal of the troops as soon as possible for the sake of the lives of the soldiers of the three armies." A dozen or so generals of the Qing army knelt down on one knee and clasped their fists to ask for orders.

    "Has this king ever said that he doesn't intend to think about the lives of the soldiers of the three armies?" Prince Zhang snorted coldly, and waved his hand and said, "I let the soldiers of the three armies stay here not only for the sake of their lives, but also for their future.  For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, it is even more for the sake of the Qing Dynasty! There is no need to persuade anyone, the king has made up his mind, the whole army will continue to stay here, hurry up and prepare the siege equipment, and wait for the opportunity to attack Taiping City again!"

    "My lord¡ª!" All the generals of the Qing army screamed together.

    "Shut up!" Prince Zhang slapped the table and shouted angrily, "Zhuman, tell these slaves, what is the first order to cut off?"

    Zhuman was a little hesitant, but seeing our Lord Zhang slapping the table and staring at him again, Zhuman, who was loyal to Lord Zhang, finally bit the bullet and replied: "Go back to Lord Zhang, you are the number one in the army.  Cut it off!"

    "Did you hear that?" Prince Zhang yelled viciously at all the generals: "It is my king's military order to stay under Taiping City. Anyone who disobeys and contradicts him will be executed immediately!"

    The generals of the Qing Dynasty had no choice but to agree honestly, not daring to persuade our Lord Zhang to retreat, but fortunately, Zhuman also suggested that Lord Zhang let the Qing army strengthen the camp and build temporary fortifications while rushing to build siege weapons  In case of a surprise attack by the fat army, our Lord Zhang could still listen to what Zhuman said, so he immediately agreed, and told the Qing army generals to follow the plan.

    Ever since, under the circumstances of the surrounding crisis, our Lord Zhang resolutely let the main force of the Qing army on the western front stand still under Taiping City, and went all out to build siege weapons, and also built temporary fortifications to stabilize the camp for a long time.  plan.  And the Fat Man Army team in Taipingfu City was also really afraid of our Great Qing God of War, Prince Zhang, and refused to step out of the city, let alone stop the Qing army from setting up camp. The two armies lived in peace for a while.

    Facing such a temporary calm situation, our heartless Prince Zhang is happy to be at ease, and doesn't have to worry about it.  The experienced generals such as Niyahan and Shu Shu became more and more worried and frightened, because almost two days and two nights passed from the evening of May 17th to the evening of May 19th.  No news came from the Erjin Army, and the scouts and secret agents sent to Fanchang to investigate the situation also fell silent, and none of them came back to report the situation. The generals of the Qing army were inevitably even more anxious, and faintly suspected that the situation in Fanchang was not good.

    In this way, the sky was completely dark, and when it was close to the second watch, the fat army envoy Chen Rui led a group of unarmed civilians, and sent a hundred thousand taels of silver to our Lord Zhang, and returned it to Lord Zhang.  The confidant Zhuman also brought a bag of jewels, and our Prince Zhang also received Chen Rui again.

    During the conversation, Prince Zhang had to imitate Sima Yi and asked Chen Rui about the current situation of the Fatty Army. Chen Rui truthfully replied that the recent situation of the Fatty Army was not very satisfactory. Except for the western front, the other three fronts were in a hard fight, especially the Yangzhou battlefield on the northern front.  The Chongming battlefield on the eastern front was in urgent need of reinforcements, so Chen Rui begged Prince Zhang to fulfill his promise not to prevent the Fatty Army from returning to Nanjing, and guaranteed that the remaining half would be delivered as promised, and there would be a big thank you afterwards.  Our Lord Zhang naturally agreed, patted his chest and promised to give way absolutely, and let Fatty Lu return to his teacher.

    In the end, Chen Rui tentatively asked Prince Zhang to withdraw his troops immediately and return to Ningguo Mansion, and proposed that if Prince Zhang withdrew his troops early, the fat army could also sponsor some money for Prince Zhang to repair the palace.  It's a pity that our Lord Zhang is not so stupid, and immediately snorted coldly: "Withdraw the troops immediately? This king immediately withdraws the troops, and the remaining one hundred thousand taels of silver, do I still want to get it? Go back and tell Lu Yifeng,  If you want this king to make way, you can bring the silver first! ?Resist!  When Wu Gou's main force is wiped out, this king will protect and confer you a title in front of the master!  "

    Ever since, under the ingenious instigation of Prince Zhang, the benefactor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the morale of the main force of the Qing army who failed to attack Taiping City soon rose again, and a few annoying flies such as Niyahan, Shushu and Mu Chenger were not here.  Urging Prince Zhang to retreat and flee for his life, he just waited patiently while rectifying the army, preparing to intercept the exhausted and ammunition-consuming Fatty's 'partial division'.  At the same time, the Fatty Army in Taiping City also closely monitored the movement of the main force of the Qing Army, and reported the movement of the main force of the Qing Army to Fatty Lu who was on his way back to the division at any time.

    In order to let the soldiers have time to rest and recover their strength, Fatty Lu walked back to Taiping Mansion from Fanchang more slowly than before. He set off from Fanchang on May 18th and returned to Wuhu City in the afternoon of May 19th.  After receiving the news that Prince Zhang still stood still, Fatty Lu resolutely rejected the suggestion of the generals of the Fatty Army to march overnight, let the main force of the Fatty Army rest in Wuhu for a night, and placed the wounded soldiers in Wuhu City for treatment.  Some troops were added to the city.  It wasn't until Maoshi in the early morning of May 20 that Lu Fatty led the main force of the 36,000 Fatty Army to set off from Wuhu to Taiping City, thirty miles away.

    Just after half of the hour, the Qing army scouts arranged by Prince Zhang to be in the Lianzigang area finally discovered the movement of the main force of the fat man's army, and immediately reported to Prince Zhang with a beacon signal.  And Lord Zhang finally took action, and immediately beat the drums and ordered the generals to tell the generals of the Qing army that the enemy was attacking, and also told the generals of the Qing army that the Fatty Army was returning to Taiping City day and night this time, and marched more than 100000000000000000000000000000000000DW in less than eight hours.  Baili was very tired up and down, and although the Qing army scouts hadn't had time to find out the strength of the fat man's army, there were definitely not many!  The generals of the Qing army once again believed it was true, their morale was even higher, and they called for a battle together to face this exhausted enemy.

    "Very good, as long as we all have confidence." Seeing the high morale of the generals of the Qing army, Prince Zhang couldn't help being very proud of his clever trick to boost morale, and shouted again: "All generals listen to orders!"

    "The last general is here!" All the generals of the Qing army clasped their fists together.

    "Leave 2,000 troops to guard the camp!" Prince Zhang shouted again: "The rest of the army, leave the camp and cross the Guxi River immediately, and rush to Mao'er Mountain, eight miles south of Taiping City, to intercept Wugou's reinforcements!  Annihilate this Wugou army with all your strength!"

    "The whole army crossed the Guxi River?" Several generals of the Qing army were taken aback, and quickly reminded: "My lord, the Guxi River is not a small river ditch, and the bridge across the river is covered by the bows and arrows of Taiping City."  , in case the battle is unfavorable and Wu Dog destroys our pontoon bridge again, then we"

    "But the Guxi River, how do we intercept Wugou Pianshi?" Prince Zhang asked angrily: "Wugou Taiping City has a water gate on the Guxi River. We just intercepted it by the Guxi River, and Wu Dog Pianshi entered Taiping directly through the water gate."  What about the city?"

    The generals of the Qing army thought about it, and when they were about to wonder if there were any omissions in the arrangement of Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang slapped the table and shouted: "What are you doing still in a daze? Immediately the whole army will leave the camp and cross the river. Wu Dog has arrived at Lianzi  Post, if you don't cross the river quickly, it will be too late! Send troops immediately, and anyone who delays the military opportunity will be killed immediately!"

    "Cover!" The generals of the Qing army summoned up their courage and clasped their fists in agreement.  (To be continued.
