After the Guazhou Water Camp was lost, due to the threat of the Taiping Navy, Dase, Eheke, Tong Guogang and others did not dare to station troops on the east bank of the canal. They led their troops to retreat for more than five miles and urgently reported to the Daying.

Upon hearing the news, Oboi was shocked. While sending a fast horse to Yangzhou camp to report the news, he immediately ordered all the Qing troops from the north camp of Yizhen River to set up layers of formation along the Yizhen section canal (the later Yiyang River) to the south of Yangzhou city.

After receiving the war report of the loss of Guazhou Water Camp, Shunzhi was also shocked and angry, and did not care about issuing an order to punish Tong Guogang, Duobi and other defeated generals, and urgently ordered Oboi to stop the Taiping Army from invading Yangzhou at all costs.

On the Taiping Army, after the Qing army retreated on the east bank of the canal, Zhou Shixiang ordered the fifth town to repair the floating bridge overnight despite the fatigue of the soldiers. The next day, he led the first town, the fifth town, the thirteenth town, the Xinyi and Xinyi5 towns to cross the canal and launch an attack.

Due to the great defeat of the water camp, the Dase army's spirit was shaken and did not dare to fight the Taiping army hard. So he fought and retreated. He joined forces with the 5,000 Manchu-Mongolian cavalry led by Ezhen Deksuni, Gushan, the Huangqi of Manzhou Province, and at the mouth of Bianjiahe River along the canal. After discovering that the Qing army's reinforcements arrived, Zhou Shixiang ordered the towns to suspend the attack, shrink the defense line, and adopt a defensive posture. He also urgently ordered the 15th town general Qi Hao and the Xinsan Town general Shao Chengguo to lead his troops to attack Yizhen County in the west to cut off the liaison channel between the Qing army's Yizhen camp and Yangzhou.

After Qi Hao and Shao Chengguo led their troops westward, they found that the Qing army of Yizhen had already been transferred to the front line of the canal in the south of Yangzhou City. There were only more than 3,000 green camp soldiers and more than 1,000 local camp soldiers transferred from the SD in Yizhen City. After half a day of fierce attack, Qi Hao and Shao Chengguo successfully captured Yizhen County, ensuring that the west side of the main force would not be attacked by the Qing army.

The loss of Guazhou Water Camp and the advancement of Taiping Army along the canal have forced the Qing army to abandon its establishment in the Yizhen Jiangbei Camp. At this moment, the main forces of both the Ming and Qing dynasties gathered on the front line of the canal.

Oboi ordered Dase's troops to curb the Taiping Army's advance eastward, and he transferred more than 20,000 Manchu and Mongolian cavalry to wait for an opportunity to move in Gaoqiao, Yangzhou. About 70,000 Qing army infantry deployed layers along the canal, and there were more than 20,000 Qing troops in Yangzhou City.

The Fifteenth Town and Xinsan Town, which captured Yizhen County, cooperated with each other and marched towards Yangzhou on December 9th, successively capturing Baisha, Zilinhe, Donghe and other important towns. Zhou Zongyuan, the Jiangbei Admiral, who had just been in office for several days, was shot dead by the Taiping Army in Donghe. The news came out, and the Qing army was even more uproar. However, the Fifteenth Town was blocked by the Qing cavalry in the Tongshan area more than 40 miles north of Yangzhou City. After more than 2,000 casualties, the Fifteenth Town and Xinsan Town were blocked on the front line of Tongshan.

On the 11th, Mongolian Ezhenzhuo Liktutabun led more than 3,000 Mongolian cavalry from Yangzhou to the mouth of Bianjiahe River. At the same time, more than 6,000 Qing army green camps arrived, which brought the Qing army in the Bianjiahe River to more than 30,000 people. After learning that the Taiping Army was blocked in the canal, Oboi also moved from Gaoqiao to the mouth of Bianjiahe River. Obviously, Oboi decided to place the decisive battlefield at the mouth of Bianjiahe River.

Dirksuni took over the command of the Qing army at the mouth of the Bianjiahekou, and he ordered all troops to station on the spot and not be allowed to go south to fight with the Taiping Army.

Dekesuni said to Tong Guogang, Dase and others: "The mouth of the Bianjia River is an important town along the canal, and the throat of Yangzhou. Zhou Ni's troops are now concentrated in the canal area, and its goal is to Yangzhou City where the emperor's camp is located. Therefore, as long as we firmly defend this place, Zhou Ni will not last long. If he attacks for a strong force, our army will wait for work, and with Oboi's elite troops on his side, he will definitely win."

Dase and Zhuoliktutabun both agreed with this analysis. Dirksuny quickly sent someone to notify Oboi and gathered from Shiqiao to Huangjiazhuang, Yujiadu and other places to Bianjiahekou.

In the battle of Guazhou Water Camp, although the Taiping Army won a great victory, there were more than 5,000 casualties. At this moment, there were less than 40,000 Taiping Army on the front line of the canal, while the Qing army had no less than 100,000 infantry and cavalry. Both the troops and strength, the Taiping Army was not sure of victory. The entire army was able to use their lives happily and march towards Yangzhou resolutely. One was the great victory of Guazhou Water Camp, which made the morale high, and the other was Zhou Shixiang's authority in the army.

On the 12th, Zhou Shixiang rode his horse to check the terrain of the Bianjia River. He saw that except for a canal, there were all plains. It was cold winter, and the rain had not arrived, and the trees were withered. The two sides of the canal were covered with woods. Zhou Shixiang saw it and had an idea in his mind. He said to Shizhong, Wang, Fuchen, Shang Keyuan and other generals: "The Qing army fought without any necessity. The Manchu and Mongolian soldiers never fought first, but only asked the Green Camp to fight first. They hid in the camp behind. We may be able to use this."

Military officer Guo Xiong said: "Just just now, checking the terrain with the commander. I think we have to use the dry forest west of the Bianjia River."

"set fire."

Yu Shizhong pointed it out with one word.

Zhou Shixiang and Guo Xiong both laughed. Zhou Shixiang nodded and said, "We think of one thing. Let's burn the Qing army!... However, no matter how idiot Dirksunny and Dase are idiots, they will also be able to prevent this move. They have to find a way to lure them into the bait."

After hearing this, the generals were thinking carefully.

At dawn the next day, Qianhunamutu, the king's servants' army, brought 2,000 cavalry to the mouth of the Bianjia River to fight. Due to Dirksunny's strict orders, the Qing army did not respond. However, Dirksunny found that there were only two thousand invading Taiping Army, and confirmed that there were no ambushing troops in the Taiping Army. He ordered the generals of the Green Camp in the North to bring 6,000 soldiers, and the Mongolian flag Ezhenzhuoliktutabun to lead two thousand cavalry to fight.

Dirksunny instructed the generals: "The battalion soldiers deal with them on the front, and Zhuoliktutabubang rushed to their rear team from the side."

Zhao Guohua, Zhuoliquettutabunang and others took the order. The six thousand green camp soldiers had cavalry to assist in the battle, and there were not many Taiping troops on the opposite side, so they were confident and shouted loudly. Na Mutu and An Army envoy Wu Chongshan led their troops to fight with the Qing army. After half an hour, the Taiping army gradually became dissatisfied. Zhao Guohua was secretly happy when he saw this and became more and more powerful in the battle. At this moment, Zhuoliquettutabunang came out from behind, and the Qing army infantry and cavalry attacked forward and backward. Na Mutu could not resist and rushed eastward. Two thousand people and horses were defeated, and they threw down their things on their backs and fled.

When the Qing army saw the bags and things thrown by the roadside, they all came to grab them. When they opened them, they found that they were full of gold, silver and jewelry, and they were so happy that they were so happy that they grinned. Zeng Zifeng reminded Zhou Guohua that the Taiping Guardians left behind such valuable things, and there was a fraud among them.

Zhou Guohua was alert at first, but when he saw the Taiping Army in front of him was running away in a panic, there was no deception, so he smiled at Zeng Zifeng and said, "Brother Zeng is worried. If the treasure stolen by the Taiping bandits is not carried with you, where will they be put? Now that they have defeated, they have to give up their lives to escape. After all, if they have lost their money, they can rob them again, but if they have lost their lives, they cannot rob them."

Seeing that the Taiping Army was indeed fleeing far away under the pursuit of Mongolian cavalry, unlike the set-up round, Zeng Zifeng stopped him and asked his soldiers to fight for each other and grab them.

That night, Dirksuni set up a wine in the camp to reward the meritorious soldiers. On the table, Zhuolichutabunang said angrily: "Today we fight the bandits, but in this way, the leading thief is simply useless, but I don't know why the thief scholar made such a big fuss in the south."

Tong Guogang, Duo Bi and other generals who were defeated under the Taiping Army heard Zhuoliketuta Bunang's words and kept silent.

On the second day, the Qing army thought that the Taiping Army would not attack easily after yesterday's defeat, but they did not expect that the Taiping Army would come to attack again. This time there were more soldiers than yesterday, with thousands of infantry and cavalry as if they were about to touch two or three thousand.

Zhuoliktuta Bunang, who tasted the sweetness of yesterday's battle, took the initiative to ask for the battle, and Zhou Guohua and other green camp generals were all grinding their fists and trying to have fun with the Taiping Army. Although Dirksunny had doubts, he saw that the morale of the army was available and there were many soldiers on his side, and he unexpectedly had any tricks on the Taiping gang, even if he had a fraud, he could make timely remedies. He ordered troops to go out to fight.

More than 10,000 Qing troops rushed out of the camp, each of them bravely and everyone was fighting for the first place. Unexpectedly, this time the Taiping Army was harder to deal with than yesterday and very difficult to fight. The two sides fought on the west bank of the canal for a long time, until another Qing army cavalry rushed out of the camp, and the Taiping Army retreated. As a result, they were breached by a Mongolian cavalry during the retreat, which caused the rear team to collapse and hundreds of people were killed. The front team and the central army of the Taiping Army had no way to stop the rear team from collapse, so they had to throw their things down and flee to the forest to the west. Seeing that there was something else to pick up, the Qing army was all happy. The vanguard troops unknowingly entered the forest and continued to chase and kill the defeated soldiers of the Taiping Army.

Zhao Guohua and Zeng Zifeng were eager to make contributions, so they rushed forward. As soon as they entered the forest, personal soldiers came to report that a large wooden sign was erected on the roadside in front.

Big wooden sign?

Zhao Guohua and Zeng Zifeng were very strange. They drove their horses into the woods and walked less than a few feet away. Sure enough, they saw a big sign erected on the intersection in front with a few big words written on it - "Die Qing Demon, I'll be your lungs!"

Zhao Guohua and Zeng Zifeng could understand the meaning of the three words "Dead Qing Demon", but what does "suppress your lungs" mean, the two were confused and didn't know what tricks Taiping Kou made. When they were confused, Goshha of Dirksunny flew into the woods and sent an order to them: "Well, there are really orders, there are dense trees in front, so you must prevent fire attacks and retreat quickly!"

"broken!"

Zhao Guohua and Zeng Zifeng woke up like a dream and ordered to retreat, but it was too late. Hearing countless cannons, countless fire snakes flew out of the woods. It turned out that many dead grass and dried leaves in the forest had already poured tinders under the treetops. These fire snakes flew obliquely to the treetops, wiping the branches and burning. After falling, they burned the dead branches and leaves on the ground. In an instant, countless piles of fires burned in the woods, scattering, and getting stronger and stronger. Smoke rose and sparks splashed everywhere, frightening the thousands of Qing troops squeezed into the forest, frightening them, running around, and countless people were trampled to death.
