    "Urgent report! The North City Gate has fallen, and a large number of Zhou troops have entered the city. The situation is critical!"

    The situation at the North City Gate finally reached the ears of Wu Heng, the fourth-generation commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army. This made this man, who was originally vicious, look even more gloomy and terrifying.

    But it cannot be otherwise. After all, Wu Heng is also a hero who has seen big scenes. When he was young, he followed his father, Wu Wei, the first deputy commander of the Taiping Army, and mingled with the Taiping Army. Therefore, despite learning of such bad news, he  His mind is still calm.

    "Who is in charge of the Zhou army that broke through the North City Gate? How many are there? Where have they attacked now?" Wu Heng asked seemingly calmly.

    The messenger who reported the news quickly clasped his fists and replied, "Reporting to Commander Wu, there were two Zhou soldiers who broke through the North City Gate. First, Zhou general Ma Dan broke through the North City Gate and defeated our army's defenders stationed in the north of the city.  , Immediately, Zhou general Fei Guo led another Zhou army to fight out of the city and came straight towards this place, and now they have reached Mugong Street"

    "" Wu Heng took a slight breath, and his eyes were covered with a layer of haze.

    To be honest, Wu Heng was no stranger to Fei Guo and Ma Dan. After all, the first two were the most popular generals in the Jizhou Army, and they were the two sharp blades in Xie An's hands.

    The difference between the two is that Fei Guo has the most comprehensive abilities. He is very good at both frontal battlefields and sudden attacks. What is even more rare is that this man has excellent martial arts skills and was once one of the six divine generals of his Taiping Army.  Later, after defecting to the Zhou Dynasty, he joined the Liangqiu family in Donggong Mansion and practiced martial arts. Now his martial arts skills are even more unfathomable.  Speaking of which, even Wu Heng was not sure he could beat this person.

    Perhaps, only Liang Qiuhao, the former commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army, could do it. With his incredible and powerful martial arts, he could suppress all the heroes in the world.

    Compared with Fei Guo, Ma Dan used more troops. This general who was born in Yanmen in the north has never liked frontal combat, because since ancient times, head-on confrontations have meant killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred to oneself. The losses are too great.  many.  Therefore, Ma Dan, who cherishes the lives of his subordinates very much, tends to make surprise attacks. Just like the wolves in the northern grasslands, they usually hide and peek from a distance and will never let you touch them. However, once you neglect your precautions, you will be caught.  He took a hard bite and it hurt his heart.

    Generally speaking, Fei Guo and Ma Dan are not easy people to deal with.  In fact, the two of them have long been vaguely named "Liang Guohu" and "Yanmen Wolf" because of their respective hometowns. After all, the hometowns of Fei Guo and Ma Dan are Chenliu and Beidiyan in Liang Guo respectively.  Men is currently the most powerful general in the Jizhou army.  In addition, not far in front of Wu Heng now, the Zhou army general Liao Li, who was once mocked by Changsun Xiangyu as a "stubborn ox who doesn't know how to advance or retreat", the three sharp blades of tiger, wolf and ox among the Jizhou soldiers are no longer  It can be said that it is not sharp.

    Wu Heng had a headache. Putting aside Ma Dan, who never took risks to fight alone with enemy generals, he had just seen Liao Li's martial arts. To put it bluntly, even if he, Wu Heng, could fight alone  If he wins, he will probably have to pay a heavy price, at least his body will not be as complete as it is now.  And this was the real reason why Wu Heng avoided fighting alone with Liao Li.

    joke!  He Wu Heng was "handsome", how could he lower himself to fight with a "general" like Liao Li?  Furthermore, if he loses an arm in Liao Li's hands, how will he command the thousands of troops of the Taiping Army in the future?  God knows how many people within the Taiping Army are concerned about his position as commander-in-chief.

    [If that guy is still here]

    For some reason, Wu Heng suddenly thought of Liang Qiuhao, the third-generation commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army, Chen Su, who he once regarded as a powerful enemy.

    [If that guy was still there, I wouldn¡¯t have fallen into this situation Phew, I really did, how could I suddenly think of that guy]

    Shaking his head and taking a deep breath, Wu Heng calmed down and said in a deep voice, "In the name of my commander, I order the entire army not to panic, and ask Zhang Nan to lead a force to resist Fei Guo, while the others continue to besiege Liao Lijun and Kuyang  Army!" The Zhang Nan he mentioned was the guard general of the East City Gate and one of the most capable generals under Zhang Hong, the general of the rear army.

    "Get the order!" After receiving the order, the ordering soldiers quickly went to deliver Wu Heng's general order.

    Soon, among the countless Taiping troops who besieged Liao Li and Ku Yang, an army numbering in the thousands retreated and marched towards the north. This made Ku Yang, who noticed this, overjoyed.

    "Wu Heng has mobilized his troops. Sure enough, there is a problem at the North City Gate!" Kuyang said with joy on his face.  But as soon as he finished speaking, his expression turned gloomy again.

    You know, where he and Liao Li's army are now, the houses on both sides of the street that could have been used as cover have been torn down and destroyed. This has completely exposed their nearly 10,000 troops to the strength of the Taiping Army, which is several times theirs. The situation is compared to  It was several times more dangerous than before.  Even though his intuition is extraordinary, his commanding ability is astonishing to a dead sheep.Liao Li, with a trace of sweat gradually oozing out from his forehead, kept an eye on the battlefield at all times to prevent any deviation in his orders.

    But even so, the Taiping Army, which had an absolute advantage in terms of strength, still pressed forward. Liao Lijun and the Kuyang Army were unable to breathe. The original strength of nearly 10,000 troops was reduced sharply in just one stick of incense.  Thirty percent is currently struggling to support itself.

    "Uncle, there is no need to panic!" As if he sensed the panic in Kuyang's heart, Liao Li calmly directed his men to defend the Taiping Army's offensive from all directions, and said calmly, "The general's command still has more than 3,000 steps.  Hey, I can hold on for at least half an hour!"

    Liao Li¡¯s words are strange. Logically speaking, his army should have at least nearly 7,000 soldiers at the moment. Why are there only a few thousand left?

    It turned out that when Wu Heng ordered the destruction of the buildings on both sides of the street, Liao Li had already realized that their good days were over. After all, the reason why Liao Lijun was able to defend the enemy from the east, west and north with one against three.  The most fundamental reason for the Taiping Army's offensive is to take advantage of the spaciousness of the streets. Once this advantage is lost, they will obviously be at a disadvantage. After all, the Taiping Army has too many troops.

    Therefore, Liao Li immediately decided to divide his troops and asked Cheng Yang, the general of the Jizhou Army who was temporarily serving as his deputy, to lead four thousand cavalry to attack from the south in a roundabout way. After all, the strength of the cavalry lies in the powerful lethality brought by the rushing horses, and in this kind of situation  In urban street fighting, the role of a cavalryman is not much greater than that of an infantryman.

    Although the South City Gate is now occupied by the Tianquan Army under the late Tianquan God General Wei Hu, according to Ku Yang, it seems that the Tianquan Army is not very willing to be loyal to Wu Heng anymore.  Otherwise, when Ku Yang and the remaining Tianshu Army retreated from the South City Gate and planned to join forces with Liao Lijun, why would Luo Qing, the current general of the Tianquan Army, acquiesce to Ku Yang's withdrawal, or even secretly help Ku Yang?  ?

    Ah, although Luo Qing still adheres to the belief of his commander-in-chief Wei Hu and swears to go through fire and water for the Taiping Army, this does not mean that he is still loyal to Wu Heng. Even if he once was, but after Ku Yang's words  In the end, that loyalty was probably extinguished like a flame in the rain.

    "There is no greater sorrow than the death of the heart," I'm afraid this is what I'm referring to.  The current Tianquan Army gives people the feeling that as long as they do not attack the south city gate they occupy and do not touch the last strength of their Tianquan Army, they will not make any further moves.  In other words, even if Cheng Yang led four thousand cavalry to detour from the south city gate, bypassing the main force of the Taiping Army and attack the empty streets in the city, Luo Qing would probably not pay attention.

    Facts have proved that Ku Yang's guess was correct. When Jizhou Army General Cheng Yang led four thousand cavalry around the South City Gate, it was clearly only twenty feet away from the South City Gate. However, neither Luo Qing nor his subordinates  None of the Tianquan Army had the slightest intention of attacking to stop them.  They just guarded and did not let anyone take away the South City Gate and take away their last strength, whether it was Zhou Jun or Wu Heng's Taiping Army.

    I remember that Cheng Yang was shocked at that time, because it was hard for him to imagine that the Taiping Army was so divided that Luo Qing clearly witnessed Cheng Yang leading his army to attack the empty defensive areas in Guangling City, but remained indifferent.  Turn a blind eye.

    Having said that, Cheng Yang's departure with his troops undoubtedly greatly reduced Liao Lijun's already insufficient number of troops. With only more than 3,000 men left, Kuyang was really not sure that he would be able to hold on until the Zhou army came for reinforcements.

    You know, even including his loyal Tianquan soldiers, he and Liao Li only had about four thousand troops, but they faced tens of thousands of Taiping troops.  In such a war with huge disparity in military strength, even if Changsun Xiangyu, Liu Qing, and Li Xian came in person, they would never be able to turn the tide and restore the disadvantage.

    So, it¡¯s no wonder that Kuyang is worried about his current situation.

    However, compared to Ku Yang, Liao Li was much calmer and still commanded his soldiers in an orderly manner. Only when he sensed a crisis would he hand over the command to Ku Yang and go to the front line to fight in person.

    It is precisely because Liao Li, a fierce general of the Zhou army, is here that Liao Lijun and the Kuyang Army can persist to this day without being defeated.

    Seeing this, Wu Heng frowned tightly. He couldn't help but think of Liang Qiu Hao again, and the days when that unparalleled general was in command.

    "If Liang Qiuhao is still there, Liao Li, Fei Guo, Ma Dan, even if these so-called powerful generals of the Zhou army are added together, what will happen?"  Can he defeat Liang Qiu Hao?

    Unconsciously gritting his teeth, Wu Heng couldn't help but recall the first battle when they jointly led troops to fight.

    Because the years are so far apart, Wu Heng has forgotten when that happened. He only remembers that at that time, Tianshangji Liuqian, the second-generation commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army, was still there, and Liang Qiuhao, Yang Yu, and the fierce generals under them were all there.  , and at that time, Liu Qing was justShe's just a little girl of a few years old.

    At that time, because the backbone of the first-generation Taiping Army had been almost wiped out in Wuhu by Liang Qiujing, the future Yanhu Ji Liangqiuwu's biological father and Dongzhenhou Liangqiujing, the Taiping Army was subsequently suppressed and rounded up by local governments. This made  Liu Qian had to use these young people who were only teenagers.

    In order to escape the pursuit and persecution of the Zhou Dynasty at that time, Liu Qian asked her Taiping soldiers to change their appearance, keep a low profile and save their talents. After putting in a lot of efforts, she subdued the magistrate of Lingling County through coercion and inducement, and finally settled in this county.  Lay the foundation.

    At that time, because the Great Zhou Dynasty had just sent troops to Jiangnan and even caused a massacre in Jinling, the relationship between Jiangnan and the Great Zhou Dynasty became extremely bad. There were many green forest righteous men who rose up with the intention of overthrowing the rule of the tyrant Li Ji of the Great Zhou Dynasty.  Among them, there are also some guys who take advantage of the situation to rob, occupy the top of the hill, and gather people to cause chaos.

    It can be said that at that time, the entire Jiangnan was in chaos, and even Jingzhou was affected. Near Jiangling, a group of bandits gathered thousands of rebels, intending to become king and hegemony, and bully the local people wantonly.

    It¡¯s not that the Zhou imperial court ignored that the people near Jiangling were in dire straits. The problem was that the bandits were just bullies who were afraid of the strong. When they saw the Zhou government¡¯s conquest troops coming, they fled one after another, waiting for the Zhou army to retreat.  Later, he regained the top of the mountain and continued to dominate.

    After several rounds, the bandits in Jiangling were safe and sound. On the contrary, the defenders in Xiangyang and Jiangling in Jingzhou were overwhelmed by the back and forth. Therefore, the Jingzhou Prefecture issued an order to the counties under its jurisdiction to suppress the rebel bandits.  Order, hoping that counties can share some of the burden of the state capital.

    At that time, Liu Qian had secretly occupied Lingling, and the Lingling County magistrate was just a puppet. Therefore, the official documents of Jingzhou Prefecture naturally fell into Liu Qian's hands.

    To be honest, Liu Qian was hesitant at the time as to whether to send troops to suppress the bandits. After all, there were only a thousand usable soldiers left in Lingling where she was, and most of them were untrained recruits, like Yang Yu and Wu Heng.  In this way, the descendants of the first generation of Taiping soldiers are just far less powerful than Yang Yu, Wu Heng and others.

    But if we don¡¯t fight, what if those rebels attack Lingling?  After all, Lingling is only a short distance from Jiangling.  Liu Qian didn't want those scum who took advantage of the troubled times to set foot in her Taiping Army's Lingling. You must know that since Liu Qian secretly controlled Lingling, she has successively brought many Taiping soldiers and their families who had been living abroad.  Here, I hope that one day I can shake the foundation of the entire Zhou Dynasty with the tiny place of Lingling.

    In other words, there were too many family members of the Taiping Army in Lingling City, and Liu Qian did not dare to take risks at all.

    So, she summoned Liang Qiuhao, Wu Heng, Yang Yu and other young generals at the time and told them her thoughts.

    "Rebuilding the army's establishment?" A group of young generals of the Taiping Army who would become famous in the future frowned and thought.

    "Ah, as the saying goes, you cannot establish without breaking. Although we don't want to mention it, the first Taiping Army founded by General Xue Ren was finally defeated by Liang Qiujing, the Marquis of Dongzhen. It was completely defeated  Liu Qian sighed quietly and said in a low voice.

    It has to be said that Liu Qian, as the woman that Liang Qiu Hao would never forget until his death, was indeed a dignified and beautiful woman. Not to mention the power of a country, her magnanimity alone can't help but make people's hearts beat.

    At least, Liang Qiuhao never took his eyes away from her beautiful figure for a moment, but because of this, Yang Yu, the future commander of the Tianfu Army, received a blank look.  After all, at this moment, Yang Yu is not Liang Qiuhao's true confidant.

    Hearing Liu Qian's words, Yang Yu, Wu Heng and other descendants of the first generation of Taiping soldiers remained silent. After all, they had the honor to participate in the Wuhu Battle and witnessed with their own eyes the bravery of Liang Qiujing, the Marquis of Dongzhen at that time. It was simply  Insurmountable mountains.

    "Afterwards, I heard that this man died suddenly. Every Taiping soldier couldn't help but let out a long breath, secretly thinking that he was lucky.

    Seeing that all the young generals in the hall were silent, Liu Qian sighed softly and said to herself, "Our army uses Lingling as its foundation and is temporarily under the wings of the Zhou government. Don't forget this.  Don¡¯t do anything that could harm the entire army by leaking secrets As for the new army, we can only call it the county soldiers of Lingling to the outside world. As for privately let¡¯s call it the Tianfu Army, how about it?¡±

    "Tianfu Army?" Yang Yu, Wu Heng and others couldn't help but look up at Liu Qian.  You must know that the Liu family in the Southern Tang Dynasty respected the word "Heaven", which could not be used casually.  But now Liu Qian actually named the new army Tianfu Army. Isn't this the best encouragement and spur for them?

    "As for the candidate for the general of the Tianfu Army" Liu Qian's eyes wandered over the many young generals who were looking at her in the hall, and finally landed on Liang Qiu Hao.

    &nbsp"Ah Su, you will be the commander-in-chief of the Tianfu Army!"

    When Yang Yu and Wu Heng heard this, their expressions changed slightly, and they looked at Liang Qiu Hao with some hostility. On the other hand, Liang Qiu Hao also had a look of surprise and confusion on his face.

    "What? Me?"

    "Yes! - What? Are you unwilling?" Liu Qian asked with a chuckle.

    Liang Qiuhao looked deeply at the smile on Liu Qian's face and said softly, "Of course I am willing, as long as it's what you say"

    Liu Qian was stunned when she heard this, and then her pretty face turned slightly red.

    Different from the respectful gaze that other people looked at her, this boy often looked at her with that kind of admiration that did not conceal or contain any sexual desire since he was by her side. This made Liu Qian feel quite embarrassed sometimes.  Some headache.

    After all, she will be almost 30 years old in a few years, and Liang Qiu Hao is only in his prime when he is 17 or 18 years old. What's more, she is still a widowed widow, and she also has daughters Liu Qing and Liu Qian who are 45 years old.  It is really difficult to understand why this little guy Liang Qiuhao would like him.

    But on the other hand, Liu Qian is also ashamed that she sometimes blushes at Liang Qiu Hao's adoring gaze, but she doesn't seem to feel bad

    "Anyway, this matter has been decided. Ah Su, you will be the commander-in-chief of the Tianfu Army. I will grant you the title of 'Kaiyang'. You will be our Taiping Army's hope for a comeback, just like the red on the horizon.  Sun!¡ª¡ªAccept the order, Kaiyang God General Chen Su!"

    Liang Qiuhao, no, it was Chen Ran who immediately knelt on the ground and asked for the order. He said he got the order and became the first divine general. At the same time, he was also the only divine general canonized by Liu Qian, the second generation coach of the Taiping Army. He started  General Yang Shen.

    The Tianfu soldiers, the most powerful Taiping army that later shocked the Zhou army and shocked Xie An and Changsun Xiangyu, were established here.

    The initial number of Tianfu soldiers was about 500, but it gradually increased until it was maintained at about 300, and they became Liu Qing's personal bodyguards.

    At that time, after three months of arduous training, 500 Tianfu soldiers obeyed the orders of Jingzhou Prefecture, with Liang Qiuhao as commander, Yang Yu and Wu Heng as deputy commanders respectively, and attacked the powerful bandits who occupied the mountains in Jiangling.  A crusade was launched.

    To this day, there is still a record in the copywriting study room of Jingzhou Prefecture. On a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, Jiangling rebels rebelled, gathered four to five thousand people, and occupied the mountain as king. Later, under the rule of Jingzhou Prefecture, Lingling County sent 500 county soldiers to attack Jiangling.  Thief, he made a triumphant return in ten days and lost no more than a hundred troops!

    In the first battle of the Tianfu soldiers, Liang Qiuhao's force, Yang Yu's commander, and Wu Heng's wisdom made the Jiangling bandits, who had an absolute numerical advantage, as vulnerable as paper to the Tianfu soldiers.  (To be continued.
