Chapter 414 Under the City of Nanchang

Ganjiang went east, and guns were already ringing outside the city of Nanchang, and the Hong army and the Qing army had been fighting for several days for the city to change hands.

On the banks of the galloping Ganjiang River, dozens of horses galloped over, some of the horsemen were standard Hongjun equipment, revolvers, binoculars, pocket watches, and some were newcomers who had just joined the Hongjun, and their clothes were almost all the same as the Taiping Army's attire, but they had another white armed belt around their waists, representing their new identity.

Qu Jie was at the front of the crowd, chatting and laughing with everyone, he didn't have much skills in other aspects, but he was a generous elder, these Taiping generals from Linjiang County and other places had been with him for a long time, and they knew that he could be trusted, so they immediately let go of their hearts and talked about the next war.

Li Nengtong, the new commander of the Hong Army, said with a smile: "It is difficult to shave your head this time, this Nanchang City, we have attacked three times, and we have never taken it, and now there is a commander who leads two divisions of elite to attack, and we are advancing north from Linjiang County, and Brigade Commander Lin Qirong is contained from the north, and we can definitely take it down!" ”

"Hmm!" Although Nie Caijian, the former commander of the Taiping Army next to him, had some disagreements with Li Nengtong, he agreed with him: "Commander, this time Zeng Demon Boss has invested a lot of money, there are 20,000 Hunan troops in Nanchang City, plus the Green Battalion Soldiers, Eight Banner Soldiers and Recruiting Yong, there are more than 30,000 people, breaking Nanchang City, and definitely breaking the hearts of the demons in Beijing!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Li Nengtong is from the Hunan Tiandihui: "In the past, under the city of Changsha, the head of Zeng Demon escaped a catastrophe, not to mention, but also folded the king of the west, today the king of Yan sent the army commander and Huo Shichang into Jiangxi, as long as Nanchang City is taken, the overall situation of Jiangxi can be determined!" ”

Qu Jie has always been generous, allowing them to speak, but in the end he summed it up: "We are sure that we will join Brigade Commander Lin Qirong to attack Nanchang, but now the Hunan army also has strengths." One is a fortified city, the second is a fortification, and the third is a sailor, we must not relax. After taking Nanchang, no matter the old and new brothers, they will have the opportunity to pay homage to the marquis, by the way, Captain Li is also from Hunan. ”

Li Nengtong said his origin very happily: "That's right, most of our brothers in Linjiang County are from the Heaven and Earth Society. It's just that I am from the Hunan Heaven and Earth Society, and Nie commanded them to be from the Liangguang Heaven and Earth Society, and they all followed the Luo Gang brothers into the Kingdom of Heaven, but the Luo Gang brothers ascended to heaven in Jiujiang, and we have become masterless people in the Kingdom of Heaven! ”

Luo Xuan was born in the Heaven and Earth Society, and he was a first-class general in the Kingdom of Heaven, but because he was not the first righteous person in Jintian, he was not allowed to be crowned king. is also not allowed to be a marquis, and the people of the Heaven and Earth Society under his influence are even more different, even if Li Nengtong has made great contributions to the king of the West in Hunan. After fighting Changsha, they are just old brothers from the two lakes, and they are not the same thing as those meritorious old ministers who participated in the Yong'an Breakout, so Qu Jie persuaded them, although it took some effort, but in the end, the Taiping army in Linjiang Mansion joined the Hong Army.

Qu Jie also said: "After defeating Nanchang Mansion, I will wait for Commander Li and Commander Nie to guard Linjiang Mansion, and I will be the master of Linjiang Mansion for King Yan, and I will be responsible for you!" Qu Jie continued: "As long as Nanchang Mansion is captured, Anji County will be recovered. Quanjiang is the world of our rainbow army. ”

"That's nature." Li Nengtong hurriedly replied: "King Yan has a far-sighted strategy, and there is a military commander and his brothers who join forces to strategize, how can there be a reason why he can't take Jiangxi!" ”

However, Nie Caijian said a fair word: "This time the troops besieged Nanchang and tried to make the whole of Jiangxi the whole Jiangxi Province, it is indeed the work of His Royal Highness King Yan and Commander Qu, but if it weren't for the fact that King Yi passed through Jiangxi last year." It doesn't have to be so easy. ”…,

This is a truth, King Yi passed through Jiangxi last year, although he finally returned to Tianjing, but left more than 10,000 veterans on the battlefield in Jiangxi, not to mention, and set up township officials everywhere, and as soon as the Hong Army arrived, all of this was received by Qu Jie and Huo Qiu, otherwise the Hong Army would not have attacked Nanchang so easily.

Huo Qiu didn't blame Nie Caijian: "Yes! The predecessors of the Wing King planted trees, our descendants ate peaches, and our Royal Highness the King of Yan is the brother-in-law of the Wing King, and the family does not speak two words. ”

Although the idea of annexation was made on the battlefield in Jiangxi, in name, Liu Chang and Qu Jie still maintained the most basic proportions, and Li Nengtong was more concerned about another thing: "I heard that His Royal Highness King Yan has a pair of princesses, who are also from our Hunan Heaven and Earth Society?" ”

"Hmm!" Qu Jie knew about the Xu sisters: "It's Xu Yuegui and Xu Xianggui, the two princesses, it is said that you are from Chenzhou, Hunan, and you know the two princesses." ”

Although the two sisters used to be married women, Liu Chang was not taboo about this matter, and now Li Nengtong is relieved: "Know, know, they are all from the Heaven and Earth Society, they are from Hunan Zhaojuntang, I have a good relationship with them, Nie Battalion Commander, do you know Zhaojuntang?" ”

Nie Caijian's words were more straightforward: "It's Jiao Liang and Jiao Yujing's ......"

It's just that he soon realized that he had said the wrong thing: "There are two princesses by His Royal Highness King Yan's side, and the brothers from our Heaven and Earth Society are also straight, but don't worry, military commander, if you have any orders, just give them to us directly, and you don't need to alarm the two princesses." ”

Qu Jie is an honest man, he honestly told the truth: "I don't have any requirements for you in Linjiang County, and the food and salary have been paid to you, that is, you are required to be able to manage military discipline, kill fewer people, and not make mistakes in women." ”

Whether it is Li Nengtong's Hunan Tiandihui or Nie Caijian's Liangguang Tiandihui, they can only be regarded as miscellaneous troops in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the latter is directly called the Citi Army, the supply is extremely poor, and the military discipline is naturally corrupted, and now Qu Jie's requirements for them are not high, that is, they are required to maintain the most basic military discipline.

Nie Caijian agreed: "No problem, no problem, as long as you give enough food, you can control your brother's knife and your brother's thing, this time to fight Nanchang, our thousands of old brothers are ready to fight hard." ”

Although the Citi Army said that the military discipline was average, it was not weak in terms of combat effectiveness, and Li Nengtong also said: "Commander, the Hunan army in Nanchang City is our Hunan fellow countrymen, and the villagers see the old countrymen, with tears in their eyes, can you let me find a way to fight for it?" ”

In fact, since this Li Nengtong was born in the Hunan Army, he naturally has a broken relationship with the Hunan Army, and the private exchanges between the two sides are endless, Qu Jie agreed: "No problem, it's best to be able to pull it over, but it's not easy......

He glanced at the Ganjiang River: "It's not easy, everyone is fighting hard in this battle!" ”

He is right, although the Hong army has made some progress and even won a county seat, the Hunan army has always maintained a good morale whether it is attacking or defending, and sometimes it can organize a counter-assault of 1,000 people.

What made Qu Jie even more careful was the Qing army's sailors, relying on the advantage on the water, the Qing army organized water maneuvers and water counterattacks one after another, and even made the newly attached Yang Xiongqing regiment suffer a small loss, and if you want to capture a big city like Nanchang, you must master the advantage on the water.

……

"It's not easy! This red thief is not simple! ”

It was Li Xubin, the general of the Hunan Army, who was almost fifty years old this year, but he was still the first to take the lead like a teenager, and he said to Bao Chao opposite: "Chunting, what do you think?" ”…,

Bao Chao scolded: "Isn't it just that I bullied people with foreign guns and cannons, I lost more than 50 brothers yesterday!" ”

"I've lost a lot of money here!" Li Xubin said: "It's hateful, it's really hateful, since the rise of the army, I have never seen such a drama thief, even if it is the battle of Banbishan and Wuchang, I have not been able to deal with it as hard as I do today!" ”

Bao Chao scolded his mother: "That's right, although I say that there are 20,000 people in my Hunan army now, but the real elite on land is just you and me, but there are too many hateful red thieves and horses, otherwise I will personally lead the team to rush in and kill for a while, and I will be able to break it!" ”

"It's not easy!" Li Xubin felt that Bao Chao was thinking too simply: "This is not a Cantonese bandit, he came in a battle, I think it is not enough to break this robber just by relying on the high ditch and deep post!" ”

Bao Chao felt that Li Xubin was right: "Yes, Zeng Shilang thinks all day long that he has not won and lost first, and he always thinks about fighting a dumb battle, but this kind of tactics is okay to deal with Cantonese bandits, but it is not good to deal with red thieves, not to mention that red thieves are extremely sharp with foreign guns and cannons, and they have never lost manpower before taking the battle." ”

When it comes to the Minnie riflemen of the Hongjun, Bao Chao and Li Xubin both have indescribable pain, they never thought that the concentrated use of the Mini rifle would make them pay such a big price, especially Bao Chao directly lost dozens of people before he saw the shadow of the Hongjun.

And Li Xubin said very simply: "Chunting, you are right, you want to attack the enemy's flank and cut off its food route, but you and I have few soldiers, so we have to borrow the power of the water division, and the water division, as you know, I have always cooperated well with Yang Zaifu." ”

Yang Zaifu is Yang Yuebin, this is one of the two top generals of the Hunan Army's naval division, attacking the city and pulling out the village, and making countless achievements, but Li Xubin said "I cooperate well with Yang Zaifu", Bao Chao already knows what he means.

Although Li Xubin and Yang Zaifu cooperate very well, the water division led by Yang Zaifu is now cut off by the Jiujiang River and cannot cooperate with Li Xubin, and the Hunan Army Naval Division now in Poyang Lake and Ganjiang River is precisely under the command of Peng Yulin, another banner of the Hunan Army Naval Division.

Speaking of Peng Yulin, the inner lake sailor, Bao Chao, a character who is not afraid of heaven and earth, also feels that his scalp is numb: "Di'an, Xueqin is not easy to deal with!" ”

Li Xubin also said stubbornly: "Yes! It's not easy to deal with, he's not suitable to be a colleague, but the situation is now at this point, and he has to borrow Peng Xueqin's sailor! ”

He sighed: "It's really a last resort! ”。 Bring the cute girl
