In Jiujiang Mansion, Jiangxi Province, Yuan Tengfei's face was pale, and he looked at the Qing army ships on the wide river in front of him to show off their might and patrol back and forth, and his mood was extremely bad. There were more than a dozen short-haired traversers standing behind him, and their faces were also ugly at this time.

The encirclement and suppression of the Qing army finally came, and it was a three-way attack, and the momentum was huge. All the way is to attack from the north of Zhejiang to the south, and has recovered all the southern Zhejiang occupied by Yuan Tengfei before, and it seems that it is about to invade Fujian Province.

All the way was from the south of Hunan Province to attack Ganzhou Mansion, that is, the place where Yuan Tengfei started before, I heard that Ganzhou was struggling to resist and had retreated into the mountains. The last way is down the Yangtze River, and the Qing army has come to see it in boats.

Yuan Tengfei captured the two provinces in an instant, and the number of troops swelled to 100,000 like a balloon, which looked huge. But under the three-way siege of the Qing army, the power on the surface was also popped like a balloon, revealing the reality of unstable foundation.

The army only needs to catch the strong man and shoot the gun, but the entire Yuan army does not have a single big ship, let alone a warship, so it can only watch the ships of the Qing army run rampant on the river, and there is no way at all.

As long as there are people with eyes, they all know that the situation of the Yuan army is not good, and it is very likely to be defeated by the Qing army in one fell swoop. Not to mention the soldiers who are only two months old in the army, even the crossers who are high-ranking officers are uneasy.

"Commander Yuan, the Qing army is menacing and invincible, let's retreat for the time being." A traveler surnamed Qian was full of worry and suggested.

"No! If we don't dare to withdraw in the first battle, the morale of our army will drop to zero, and there will be only one way to collapse. No matter what you say, you have to resist every step and give the Qing army some lessons before you can retreat. Yang Weiguang followed the army back and forth for thousands of miles, fighting more than ten times, and his previous identity as a gang thug had long disappeared and he had become a barely qualified officer.

Boom! An artillery shell was fired from a Qing warship. After crossing a mile of road, it fell to the land on the south bank and exploded, sending dozens of catties of dirt into the sky, and a black pillar of smoke rose.

Yuan Tengfei, who was dressed in military uniform, showed indignation, hit his right fist on his left palm, and said angrily: "It's really too deceitful!" It's just a small gunboat of several hundred tons, and everyone dares to come and provoke! Even if there are no warships. Dozens of cannons can also block the river. ”

Shame, since the capture of the two provinces, Yuan Tengfei has not been treated like this for a long time, and he can't wait to shoot through the river with his eyes, but he doesn't have that kind of spell.

"Commander Yuan, let's retreat, the Qing army can't be blocked! Avoiding the mountains can also have a chance to make a comeback. It was still the previous traverser surnamed Qian, who was even more persuaded after seeing the power of the cannonballs fired by the gunboat.

Yuan Tengfei was silent for a long time, and finally two words popped out from between his teeth: "Withdraw to Jiujiang City!" ”

Yang Weiguang did not express any objection. He also knew that the Qing army was strong, and the previous resistance was only the best result. These modern people who do not understand military affairs have only become familiar with the battlefield in two months, and they do not have such strong command ability at all. Yuan Tengfei's orders were also not wrong, and it seems that he was familiar with the quality of the army under his command.

Jiang Yiming had already seen Guangxu hang up in the capital at this time, and re-projected his gaze to Yuan Tengfei's side, and the little thought he had separated was on Yuan Tengfei's left finger ring.

After being driven out once by the will of the world at the end of the Qing Dynasty, he temporarily restrained his movements. No longer stray tentacles to look around. Becoming passively receptive to information from the outside world.

Although he couldn't see the arrogance of the Qing army, it could also be seen from Yuan Tengfei's words that he was in a very bad situation now. There is a high probability that the army under his command will collapse in the retreat.

This is not the desired result, Jiang Yiming sent a good news to Yuan Tengfei, hoping that he could hold on a little more. But to see how his fighting spirit is, he deliberately said: "Yuan Tengfei, after retreating to the city, temporarily hold on, and do not retreat to the mountains." ”

A familiar voice sounded in Yuan Tengfei's head again. Knowing that it was the king of the forest who was talking, but this time he didn't want to carry out such an order. If his army is gone, he will still be a fart emperor.

He immediately whispered a brief introduction to the situation between the enemy and the enemy, and pleaded: "Don't worry, King of the Forest, I just won't fight the Qing army head-on. He just went into the mountains to fight guerrillas, waiting for an opportunity to drag down the Qing army. ”

Jiang Yiming saw that Yuan Tengfei had not completely lost confidence, so he dispelled the idea of replacing the spell controller, and told him the good news in the capital: "Guangxu has been killed by Su Shi, and the political situation of the Qing Dynasty is bound to be unstable. If you don't take the opportunity to expand, when the political situation is stabilized again, you will inevitably encounter the encirclement and suppression like today. ”

"Su Shi? And they succeeded! Yuan Tengfei was surprised and delighted, he didn't have hope for Su Shi, who only had eleven people, for their actions.

Everyone knows that after Cixi was assassinated, Guangxu would strengthen his protection, and he would never be so easy to be sniped. But what made him excited was that the Qing Dynasty had lost two leaders in a row, and he would not stare at himself at the moment, so the opportunity came.

"I know what to do, and I will definitely entertain these Qing soldiers in the city alleys!" Yuan Tengfei's eyes revealed excitement, looking at the gunboats on the river and the Qing army camp on the other side, as if he was looking at fat.

Yuan's army began to shrink, and soon shrank from the south bank of the river to Jiujiang City, which looked like it was going to be held against the city.

The Qing army on the north bank crossed the river without hindrance, relying on the superior force of 50,000 to besiege the city on all sides. What gave them confidence was that in addition to the 40,000 old patrol battalions, there were also 10,000 new troops trained in Hubei Province, with excellent combat effectiveness.

"I heard that the Yuan bandits have an army of 100,000, shouldn't we let go of an opening, surround three and lack one, so that the rebels have a hope of escaping, so that it will be much easier to attack the city." An officer of a patrol battalion, remembering the usual art of war, suggested.

"Cut, the rebel was a farmer two months ago, how could he not run under the fierce attack of artillery? Our new army is equipped with a new German artillery, which can be pulled by two horses, and it is very light. Immediately an officer of the Forces nouvelles said disdainfully.

Bang, bang! The words of the officers of the new army were indeed correct, under the attack of the new artillery for several days, the tall city wall quickly collapsed, and the Qing army rushed to the collapsed wall like a tidal wave.

"Haha, destroy the main force of the rebels with one blow, and this battle can settle down Jiangxi Province!"

The Qing army was so happy underwater, and crossed the city wall and entered the city with the idea of grabbing credit. But they were greeted not by rebels who raised their hands in surrender, but by terrifying spells.

Died by the decay technique that invaded the depths of the body, was choked by the throat of the poisonous gas technique, and fell to the ground in a fever from infectious diseases, these spells flew out from behind the windows and alleys and fell to the Qing army.

"No, how can there be spells in the world?" A New Army officer who had studied abroad thought before he died. (To be continued.) )
