Chapter 339: Northward Channeling
Chapter 339: Running North
Lin Mengchu was waiting for this sentence, and he immediately replied: "No problem, no problem, it's no problem for us to attack the main camp!"
He saw that Huo Qiu was a little unconvinced, and immediately explained: "The strength of the camp has recovered well, and there are now more than 500 people!"
The 2nd Battalion of the Teaching Regiment suffered heavy losses in the previous Tonglu-Jiande battle, but its strength recovered quickly in the past few days, first a group of scattered and wounded personnel returned to the team one after another, and then recruited more than 100 recruits in Yanzhou Mansion, and the entire infantry battalion has more than 500 people, ready to participate in the battle at any time.
And the cadres of the second battalion of the teaching regiment were also eager to try, they didn't expect Lin Mengchu's prediction to be true, Huo Qiu was too little infantry when he was critical, and he had to rely on the second battalion of the teaching regiment to open up the situation: "Our battalion is fine!"
"Yes, our battalion is absolutely fine!"
Seeing the high morale of the second battalion of the teaching regiment, Huo Qiu immediately believed: "Okay, your battalion is responsible for Ximen's attack, and it will start on time at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, Battalion Commander Lin?" ”
Lin Mengchu is just an acting battalion commander, but he doesn't have a pocket watch, and when he saw Huo Qiu take out a pocket watch to meet him, he was immediately stunned, but fortunately, someone among the cadres behind Huo Qiu took out his big eight pocket watches: "Battalion Commander Lin, let's lend this pocket watch to you for the time being!"
The two of them set the specific time on their pocket watches, preparing to attack at nine o'clock tomorrow.
Where the second battalion of the teaching regiment falls, it will stand up.
And the battle of the Dragon Lance Brigade in Xi'an County, the capital city of Quzhou, has also reached the same level of white-heat.
Deng Shaoliang's pressure was greater than that of Hu Xingren and Zhang Yuliang, and there was no way, under Jiande City, the Hong Army only dispatched an infantry brigade with a brigade directly under the brigade and an infantry regiment, and then strengthened some cavalry and infantry.
However, on the periphery of Xi'an County, the essence of the Hongjun is concentrated. The Dragon Lance Brigade brought all its two infantry regiments and the brigade's direct team, not to mention, and even put the Jinhua ** Regiment into it. Other words. Deng Shaoliang defended the city with slightly more troops than Jiande, but the pressure he faced was almost three times that of Yanzhou.
What's more, on top of the artillery, the Hong army also invested several siege heavy artillery, and they bombarded it every time. can knock down a large piece of the city wall known as "Tiequzhou", in this case. Quzhou City is naturally in danger.
"Damn it!" Deng Shaoliang looked at the red flag at the head of the city still fluttering in the wind, and he knew that something was wrong: "Concentrate the dead again, and then concentrate the death squad." Lao Tzu paid a month's military salary. can only press the red thief from the city, everything is easy to do, Lao Tzu agreed to any conditions!"
It's just that even with such a call, it still can't save the morale of Chu Yong and Chao Yong, they have rushed five or six times one after another, and each time they are pressed back by the bayonets of the Hong Army. Now there are too many corpses on the city to put their feet on.
"Keep attacking!" Deng Shaoliang shouted loudly, but not only did the city wall not be recaptured. The red flag was raised on the west wall again, and it was obvious that the Hongjun's tactics of attacking the east and the west had achieved perfect results, watching the soldiers of the Hongjun army quickly ascend the tower, some officers shouted: "The military gate, I can't support it, I really can't support it!"
"Li Ciqing misunderstood me, Li Ciqing misunderstood me!" Deng Shaoliang hammered his shoulder and scolded Li Yuandu: "Li Yuandu, I have been mistaken too much!"
If it weren't for Li Yuandu's eight-battalion Anyue army, his deployment in Quzhou City would have been different, because he believed that Li Yuandu's eight-battalion Anyue army could fight and charge, so Deng Shaoliang's deployment in Quzhou was much more relaxed.
He always thought that Li Yuandu's eight-battalion Anyue Army was from the Hunan army system, and the Hunan army and the Taiping army had been fighting for many years, and the results were brilliant, how could they hold out for a few days, as long as Li Yuandu could defend outside the city, he was also ready to send troops to copy the red thieves. …,
As a result, Li Yuandu's fight was too useless, and the red thieves attacked, and his eighth battalion of Anyue Army, together with the Tuyong and Green Battalion soldiers handed over to him by Deng Shaoliang, had been completely wiped out, so that Deng Shaoliang entered the final offensive and defensive battle in Quzhou without being ready for battle.
The officers below over there also knew what was going on: "Military gate, the outer city can no longer be defended, let's retreat to the inner city, we still have six or seven thousand soldiers and horses, how can we defend it!"
It's just that this outer city is known as a heroic city, and the inner city is completely different, Deng Shaoliang immediately said: "Defend the inner city, go to you, this is sitting and waiting, in this case, who wants to lead troops to break through from the west?" ”
Everyone heard the word breakthrough, they were all relieved, in the case of the loss of the two city gates, and then the death can only be a situation of defending to the death, and immediately someone shouted: "I'm coming!"
"Good! You take two hundred Chaoyong, as well as the whole city Tuyong and Green Battalion soldiers to break through from the west, and I will take the main force out of the north gate to Yanzhou!"
This self-volunteering man didn't expect that he would end up with a drudger, but he was also an outlaw, and immediately said: "Please rest assured, Junmen, I'm going, but if I can rush out this time, please ask the military gate to do something for me!"
"Say it!" Deng Shaoliang immediately agreed: "Don't say it's one thing, it's ten things and a hundred things, I promise you!"
The officer immediately said, "Junmen, I want your seventh aunt's wife!"
This seventh aunt is Deng Shaoliang's favorite woman, as soon as he heard such a request, Deng Shaoliang frowned, but he still gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, Xiao Yun, I promise you, as long as you can break out, I will give you the seventh aunt!"
It's just that he already had a thought in his heart: "Good guy, I actually cuckolded Lao Tzu, and I will give my seventh aunt to Shentang when I turn around, even if you can escape from the red thief, you can't escape my black gun!"
"Break out, follow me from the West Gate!"
"Break out, follow me through the north gate!"
These two roads of soldiers and horses broke through one after the other, and Xiao Yun, who broke through from the West Gate, first killed out of the West City, attracting the attention of the Hong Army.
I only saw thousands of Qing troops rushing out, shouting and shouting, dragging their families and mouths, leading mules and riding horses, there was chaos, and Zhu Dun's strings that had been tense for a few days finally relaxed: "The Qing Demon has broken through, the Qing Demon has broken through from the West Gate, don't let one go!"
The entire dragon spear brigade entered the city on the one hand, and pursued to the west on the other hand, and this west gate was the direction of the rout, and the rainbow army had already chased all the way with bayonets, but they soon regretted it.
"Damn, Deng Shaoliang led his team to flee towards the north gate!"
Zhu Dun also got the news that Deng Shaoliang's main force of 3,000 soldiers broke through from the north gate to the direction of Yanzhou Mansion, and those who broke through from the west gate were almost all Tuyong and green battalion soldiers, except for hundreds of tide warriors.
"Damn Deng Shaoliang!" Juton shouted, "Let the cavalry catch up immediately, how many troops do we have in the north?" ”
"Two companies!" An officer immediately replied to Zhu Dun: "There are only two infantry companies, although they can block a lot, I am afraid that they will flow to Yanzhou Mansion!"
Deng Shaoliangzhi knew that he fled north, probably to join up with Hu Xingren and Zhang Yuliang in Jiande, and you must know that there is only half of the Second Brigade in Yanzhou now, and if this rout suddenly appears behind the Second Brigade, there must be a great threat.
"Immediately inform Huo Qiu!" Zhu Dun ordered loudly: "Also, you Cai Yunnan, immediately organize a pursuit detachment and leave as many Qing demons as possible!" Also, let the troops withdraw from the pursuit and pursue north!"
It's just that the troops are now vigorously pursuing the two or three thousand Tuyong and Green Battalion soldiers led by Xiao Yuntong, this Qing army is running very fast, but its combat effectiveness is very weak, and it is almost overwhelmed. …,
And Zhu Dun has already begun to get entangled: "Huo Qiu, your second brigade has to fight for it!"
……
The storm is urgent.
The public bond market has become a huge shock because of the actions of the underworld, and once rushed to 60%, but it soon fell wildly, and there were signs of falling to 50%, and the underworld people over there were very nervous.
The latest news from Hangzhou has made it clear that the Qing army that went south this time was indeed led by the famous Horqin Prince Seng Greenqin.
"Broken five!"
The news was getting worse and worse, and the underworld man took a long breath, and he said, "Young master, the situation is pressing!"
"It's a compelling situation!" Feng Wenyi said calmly: "Hu Xueyan is not simple! Underworld people, your heart is messed up!"
"I'm not in trouble!" The underworld finally calmed down: "The situation is really not good!"
"The situation is very good!" Feng Wenyi smiled: "After today, everyone may see this matter as a joke." ”
"It's not a joke!" The underworld man replied, "There are at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in it." ”
"So what!" Feng Wenyi looked at it lightly: "My Feng family's property is 20 million taels, what is a mere hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, I am still young, I can afford to lose!"
The underworld man wiped a cold sweat, and admired the second grandson of the Feng family who took refuge in him: "But...... But after all, this is a large amount, and it is not good for you, young master. ”
"What's so bad!" Feng Wenyi glanced at the triumphant Hu Xueyan: "When he loses, he really cries, he is hundreds of thousands of family funds, and now at least half of them have been smashed in." ”
"But the monk king and Shengbao came south at the same time, this situation is so bad, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the rainbow army to turn around!"
"Whether the game is turned over or not, who wins and who loses, only the real battle on the battlefield can be known!" Feng Wenyi said: "Do you know why I am still stable? ”
The underworld man shook his head and said, "Young master, you said that you have a thick family background. ”
"No!" Feng Wenyi smiled: "Our Feng family has 20 million, but my Feng Wenyi's belongings are all in it, so I can sit still because I can trust the combat effectiveness of the Hong Army." ”
"But the monk king and Shengbao are both famous generals who have won for a long time, and the troops they lead are also considered to be strong forces, and the Hong army is only a Nanxi regiment in Yanzhou Mansion, but only three or four thousand, so they are still distracted to clean up Hu Xingren and Zhang Yuliang."
"So this battle is fought and won, which is the situation of Dingding Zhejiang!"
