The female general who suddenly came out to intercept Niu Jinda was Hong Xuanjiao, a famous female general from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. According to unofficial records, it was she and Northern King Wei Changhui who jointly led the Tianjing Incident that shocked the world.
In this life, she still came to this land as Hong Xiuquan's adopted sister. Because of her good martial arts skills and her status as a foster sister, Hong Xiuquan allowed her to form a team of nearly a thousand female soldiers to accompany the army.
Tonight, Hong Xiuquan held a banquet for the generals in the tent. Hong Xuanjiao hated those dancing girls from the bottom of her heart, so she led a group of female soldiers under her to set up camp five miles away from the Taiping Army.
After the Sui army broke through the Taiping army camp, they set the camp on fire. Hong Xuanjiao saw the flames blazing in the direction of the camp and knew something was wrong. She quickly ordered all her female soldiers to come to the rescue and rescued Hong Xiuquan by mistake.
When Niu Jinda saw Feng Yunshan leading Hong Xiuquan away, he immediately flew into a rage. He danced like a tiger with a big sword and slashed at Hong Xuanjiao's head. "You bitch made me lose all my achievements. Now don't blame me for not understanding." Cherish the fragrance and cherish the jade!"
"Ding dong, it was detected that Niu Jinda was in a sullen state, force +5, base force 84, current force increased to 89."
Hong Xuanjiao's eyebrows stood up, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she brandished her two swords to attack Niu Jinda with all her strength, "Auntie needs to show mercy to her? What a joke! Look at how my aunt defeated you today!"
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Hong Xuanjiao has entered a fighting state, the force is +4, the base force is 83, and the current force has increased to 87."
"Ding dong, Hong Xuanjiao's four-dimensional ability has been detected. Command is 74, force is 83, intelligence is 81, politics is 71, and charm is 93."
Niu Jinda's sword weighs forty kilograms, is powerful and heavy, and makes a whirring sound when he swings it.
Although Hong Xuanjiao's martial arts skills were quite good compared to ordinary soldiers, she was a woman after all, so she would definitely not be as strong as a man if her martial arts values were close. After forcefully receiving Niu Jinda's four blows, his fingers were sore and he knew that he was no match for Niu Jinda in terms of strength. He immediately changed his attack method, the two swords looked after each other, and used the skill of his moves to constantly deal with Niu Jinda.
The two fought for more than sixty rounds. Hong Xuanjiao secretly thought that Hong Xiuquan had gone far away, so she used a flaw to jump out of the battle group and rode south.
. . . . . . . . . .
Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan were rescued by Hong Xuanjiao and fled southward in embarrassment. Suddenly they saw another army of horses meandering, blocking Hong Xiuquan's way.
When Hong Xiuquan saw this, he lost all thoughts and cried bitterly: "Is it really God who wants to kill me?"
Feng Yunshan on the side frowned slightly when he saw Hong Xiuquan's posture again. He didn't want to come forward to persuade him anymore, and quietly rode his horse beside him to wait for death.
"The King of Heaven, King of the South, does not seem to be the Sui army, that is the banner of King Ji!"
When the army and horses approached, the sharp-eyed soldiers saw the flag clearly and shouted happily to Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan.
"What, King Ji is here?"
Upon hearing this, Hong Xiuquan hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, looked not far away, and suddenly shouted with joy: "Hahaha, they are really the soldiers and horses of King Ji, they are really blessed by the sky! The sky Bless you!"
Feng Yunshan looked at Hong Xiuquan's appearance and couldn't help but glanced to the other side, not wanting to look at Hong Xiuquan again.
Shi Dakai, generals Hong Xiuquan, Feng Yunshan and others approached the military camp. After hearing what they told them about the past, he immediately realized: "King of Heaven, the tens of thousands of Sui troops who attacked the camp must be reinforcements coming from the south of the Yangtze River. General Mo originally led his troops to Fulongxi. The Sui army in the city was also caught off guard by the sudden Sui army reinforcements!"
Hong Xiuquan heard this and asked hurriedly: "King Ji, now that the Sui reinforcements have arrived, what should we do?"
Shi Dakai took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "King of Heaven, I'll forgive my words. After many battles with the Sui army, I thought that although the followers of the Kingdom of Heaven had a large number of people, they had not formed an army for a long time and their military strength was in chaos. Their strength is low and they collapse at the first touch, so they are no match for the Sui army."
Hong Xiu's face was livid, but he also understood that Shi Dakai was indeed telling the truth. He took a deep breath and nodded.
Seeing Hong Xiuquan nodding, Shi Dakai felt relieved and continued to speak loudly: "So in my opinion, Sui army reinforcements have arrived at this time, and our army has no choice whether to march into Jingxiang or compete for Jiangnan." What a hope. Why not retreat to Lingnan and use the geographical advantages of Lingnan to repel the Sui army? Then train these believers diligently and wait until tens of thousands of soldiers are trained before going out to Lingnan to compete in the world."
Hong Xiuquan lowered his head and said nothing, repeatedly considering Shi Dakai's opinion and weighing the pros and cons.
At this time, Feng Yunshan also spoke out to persuade: "King of Heaven, what King Ji said is absolutely true. As far as I know, the Sui Dynasty had no less than 500,000 troops. Now it is only 50,000 or 60,000 troops that make us suffer. Still Retreat your troops and return to Lingnan."
Wei Changhui was captured, Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui died in the battle, leaving only Shi Dakai and Feng Yunshan as Hong Xiuquan's trusted subordinates. Now both of them suggested that Hong Xiuquan retreat. Hong Xiuquan no longer hesitated, suppressed his inner unwillingness and anger, and ordered to return to Lingnan.

Xicheng County, Jinchuan County.
In the county government office, Long Zhi was sitting in the first place. In the Battle of Xinye a year ago, Long Zhi succeeded in capturing Li Jiancheng alive. He was named General Zuowuwei and led 15,000 elite troops to guard the west city. He was already a middle-to-upper-class general in the Sui army.
Military advisor Li Mi was dressed in white, with his eyes slightly closed and a calm expression sitting on Long Zhi's left hand side, as if the outside world had nothing to do with him, and looked independent from the world.
On the right side of Long Zhi, there are two tall and mighty warriors. The one in front is eight feet long and has a beard two feet long. The face is as heavy as jujube, and the lips are as if they were greased. With red and phoenix eyes and silkworm eyebrows, he has a dignified and majestic appearance. It was Guan Sheng who came out randomly when Yang Gao summoned Lu Wenlong last time.
The man behind Guan Sheng is slightly younger, about fifteen or sixteen years old. He also has red phoenix eyes and silkworm eyebrows, but because of his age, he doesn't have a beard. It was Guan Ling, the son who was brought out by Guan Sheng.
Long Zhi looked at Li Mi to the left, then turned to the right to look at Guan Sheng and his son, and suddenly said: "Chai Shao is really hateful. He keeps yelling and scolding in the city day and night. The ancestors of this general have already died." Being insulted by them no less than thirty times is unbearable. Do you have any clever ideas to dampen Chai Shao's spirit and vent the bad breath on my behalf?"
Hearing this, Guan Sheng shook his head helplessly, "General Long, there are 40,000 Tang troops under the city, and the Tang troops are well-organized and powerful. They are completely different from other bandits. Our army only has more than 15,000 people. , it’s so difficult to win!”
