The Miaofeng Peak outside the south gate was actually not high. To be precise, it was just a mound, just like the Mawangdui in the eastern suburbs of the city.
It was the same. However, it had a better fate than Mawangdui. It was close to the south gate and was located in a lively place in Changsha. There's a place in the downtown area
The slightly higher hills with lush forests were even more valuable. The scholars of the past loved to climb high and compose poems here. when
When Wu Sangui occupied Changsha, Chen Yuanyuan was already old, and the eight-sided Guanyin and the four-sided Guanyin became his concubines. Wu Sangui often carries
Take two Guanyin to enjoy on Miaogao Peak. The stone table and stone stool made for Wu Sangui were still left in the field in front of the Medicine King Temple on the peak top. biography
It was said that Wu Sangui often played chess here with the eight-sided Guanyin and the four-sided Guanyin. The chessboard carved on the stone table was still clearly preserved. these
The Temple of the Medicine King had become the headquarters of the Taiping Army. Now, Xiao Chaogui, Shi Dakai, Luo Dagang, Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, and others
They sat around the stone table and discussed the strategy of attacking the city.
Chao Gui said,"Changsha is the largest city we attacked in the uprising. Its status is far above Guilin. If we take down Changsha, we will be able to conquer it."
Righteousness is no small matter. However, the city walls of Changsha were tall and sturdy. Now that the city gates were tightly shut and the defense was tight, it was not easy to attack. What do you all want?
Feel free to speak your opinion."
Da Kai said,"Changsha has been a military location since ancient times. Looking at it today, it really lives up to its reputation. Taking down Changsha will shake the Qing Yao
The imperial court had a great influence on the morale of the army. But now Changsha is already on alert, we should attack from the front and dig the wall from the side.
Combination. This time in Chenzhou, Liu Daiwei brought a thousand miners to gather together. This is a miracle given to us by heaven to break through Changsha.
Tomorrow, we will lead our brothers to attack the city. Our main task is not to break through, but to attract the attention of the soldiers on the city wall and test the soldiers in the city.
Strength deficiency. Brother Dai Wei led the Earth Battalion brothers to dig a hole at the foot of the city wall. After the hole was dug, they placed mines and gunpowder to blow up the city wall.
Charge in."
Liu Daiwei stood up and said loudly," Your Highness Wing King, this is the best plan. Opening a hole to see is our profession. I thought it would be useless as a soldier."
Let's go. It's going to be of great use this time. Today, I will select 150 strong young men from the Earth Camp and divide them into five places.
Ban opened the cave and buried the explosives before dawn. He promised to let the army enter the city tomorrow.”
Everyone applauded. Jin Guan Zheng General Li Kaifang said,"I heard that Qing Yao Inspector Bao Qibao is only greedy and fierce. In fact,
They didn't know how to govern the army, and the people didn't obey their commands. There are many officials and few soldiers in the city, and the dispatch is not effective. It's a good time to attack the city
Machine."
Da Kai said,"Bao Qibao is not to be feared, but the leader of Chu Yong, Jiang Zhongyuan, is the most cunning and fierce of the Xiang people. The Battle of Chao Yidu in Quanzhou proves that
Clearly, his actual combat ability is not inferior to ours. Moreover, Luo Bingzhang is mature and steady, and cannot be underestimated.”
Chao Gui said,"According to King Yi's arrangement, we will divide our forces today to feign an attack. After dark, Brother Dai Wei will go and dig a hole. Tomorrow morning, we will be all ready."
I'll do my best."
As they were discussing, the sound of firecrackers came from afar. The bodyguard pointed in the direction of the south gate and said,"My lords and generals,
Look, Qing Yao is playing tricks on the city tower.”
Xiao Chaogui and the others stood up and looked towards the north. At this moment, Bao Qibao was kneeling in front of Bodhisattva and kowtowing.
Everyone was baffled. Suddenly, Shi Dakai laughed and said,""Qing Yao is at his wit's end. Please invite the clay Bodhisattva to guard him.
City."
Everyone laughed at his reminder.
In the afternoon, the local official general Lin Fengxiang, the gold official general Li Kaifang, and others led 3,000 people from the south gate, Liuyang gate, and small gate.
Wu Gate, Jinji Bridge and other places attacked, constantly throwing rockets and fireballs into the city. All the soldiers in Changsha who could fight went to the city.
Many civilians were also driven to the battlefield, and the entire city was in a state of panic. The battle was fierce. When it was dark, the Taiping Army stopped.
Attack the city. At this time, Liu Daiwei had set up five excavation points from the south gate to the Little Wu Gate and was nervously digging a hole. The officials on the city wall
The soldiers did not notice anything.
On the 15th, a loud bugle sounded in the camp. Then, drums sounded and cannons fired. The 5,000 Taiping soldiers were awe-inspiring.
They launched another attack on Changsha City.
From the south gate to the Little Wu Gate, countless ladders were set up beside the city wall. Warriors with long hair and red silk threads held knives in one hand.
He climbed up the ladder like an agile ape. Unfortunately, all the Taiping soldiers who climbed up the city wall were cut down by the guards.
He fell off the top of the wall, and the people behind him went up and quickly fell off the top of the ladder. Shi Dakai sat on his horse and saw this.
This scene made her heart ache. Suddenly, he saw a skinny brother climb to the top of the ladder, and a Qing soldier raised his spear.
He poked at that person. The man raised his hand and the Qing soldier fell down with a wail. The man jumped onto the city wall with unusual agility and raised his hand.
The saber slashed as it advanced, slowly approaching the Shing Wong Bodhisattva. He took down two large bamboo tubes from his back and poured the oil in the bamboo tubes into the pot.
Then, he grabbed a fireball that flew up the city gate tower and threw it at Bodhisattva. In an instant, a fire rose, and the flames soared into the sky.
The Bodhisattva was already sitting in the middle of the raging fire. The Qing soldiers next to them were dumbfounded. The Taiping soldiers who were attacking the city cheered loudly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, hundreds of soldiers rushed up the city wall. Shi Dakai saw all of this and secretly called out 'hero'. this
At that moment, a thunderous explosion sounded from the foot of the city wall. Shi Dakai immediately rode his horse over.
The five holes in the city wall exploded, but three of them did not make a big hole. Soon, they were blocked by the Qing soldiers.
The two holes in Gate of Wu were three to four zhang wide. Under the command of Lin Fengxiang, the Taiping Country Army shouted and rushed towards these two gaps.
They would engage in a hand-to-hand combat here. A few hundred soldiers had already rushed through the gap into the city, and the soldiers behind them also shouted for them to charge in. dead bodies
They piled up at the edge of the gap, blocking the passage. Blood dyed the bricks and soil dark red. The Taiping Army was about to charge into the city in large numbers.
Suddenly, a powerful group of people charged over from behind, and the center of the battle quickly shifted from the front to the back.
It turned out that these were the reinforcements that Luo Bingzhang had brought back from Xiangtan. The 3,000 troops led by Deng Shaoliang, the deputy general of the Yunnan Chuxiong Association,
They traveled at night and arrived at Changsha at the most tense moment of the battle. Xiao Chaogui and Shi Dakai did not expect the reinforcements from the south to come like this.
Hurry up. Both sides engaged in a fierce battle, and Deng Shaoliang led his troops into the city. Xiao Chaogui ordered the army to withdraw.
After dinner, Shi Dakai ordered his men to find the warrior who had rushed to the southern gate tower and burned the Shing Wong Bodhisattva. The bodyguard took him
When he was brought into the Medicine King Temple, Shi Dakai looked at him carefully. This person was about eighteen or nineteen years old. He had regular facial features, fair skin, and a medium height.
She had a thin figure. Seeing Shi Dakai staring at him, that person felt a little embarrassed. "Little brother," Shi Dakai asked affectionately.
Were you the one who set fire to that stupid Bodhisattva today?”
"Your Highness Wing King, it was me.”Although the person looked shy, his reply was clear. It could be seen that he didn't have any feelings in his heart.
They were very afraid of this prince who commanded the three armies.
"What's your name? Where are you from?"
"I'm Kang Lu, from Yuanjiang, Hunan.”
"How old are you this year? What position?"
"I'm nineteen years old this year, and I'm a Saint Weapon under General Luo Da Gang.”
It was such a pity that such a hero with both wisdom and courage was just an ordinary soldier. Dakai praised Kang Lu and said,
Today, he had made a great contribution to the siege of the city. He encouraged him to work hard and have a bright future. Finally, she said to him,"Kang Lu, from now on,
You are the captain."
Kang Lu did not expect that he would be promoted three levels in an instant. He went from an ordinary Saint Weapon to an officer who led hundreds of people. He knelt down and kowtowed
"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness." For the cause of the Heavenly State, Kang Lu was determined even if he had to sacrifice his life for it!”
