Chapter 415: A Critical Moment

On the Gan River, the No. 1 giant ship came galloping, and dozens of warships followed closely before and after, which was the ship of Peng Yulin, the general of the Hunan Army.

Although Peng Yulin's boat is the flagship of the entire inner lake sailor, the private space on Peng Yulin's boat is extremely simple.

In addition to hanging a few plum blossom pictures, Peng Yulin only has a bookcase and a few letters, this famous general of the Hunan army has a perfect reputation behind him, a bleak love story, has made countless meritorious achievements, has no quarrel with the world, knows the most advance and retreat, and was even listed as one of the four ministers of Zhongxing.

It's just that few people know that this Peng Xueqin is an extremely difficult colleague to work with, and it can be known from his nickname "Rigidity" that he, like Zhukov, is by no means a good colleague, not to mention that he has to have trouble with Zhang Shusheng of the Huai Department in another time and space, that is, within the Hunan military system, he is also not a good colleague and good boss.

Fortunately, the Hunan Army Navy has its own line, but even so, he still has a quarrel with another Navy commander Yang Zaifu, that is, Yang Yuebin, Peng Yulin even cried with Zeng Guofan in the letter, once Peng Yulin himself accidentally fell into the water, and Yang Zaifu's boat just passed, as soon as he saw his old colleague fall into the water, Yang Zaifu not only did not stop, but accelerated away, purely wanting to drown Peng Yulin or fall into the hands of the Taiping Army to die.

From this point, we can know how inappropriate a person with the nickname "Righteousness" and known as a famous murderer is as a colleague, but now Li Xubin and Bao Chao have no choice but to ask Peng Yulin to come.

"Hasn't Li Xubin always cooperated happily with Yang Zaifu?" Peng Yulin was also not polite, he said simply: "Why do you want to work with me Peng Yulin now?" That's also simple, they are out of the land division, and we are out of the water division, but everything is up to me, Li Xubin and Bao Chunting can't talk much......"

His domineering reply made Li Xubin's envoy feel extremely difficult, this Peng Yulin really didn't give Li Xubin face.

But on the shore a few hundred meters away, Yang Xiongqing and Yang Fuqing were holding binoculars and looking at this group of Hunan warships that were rushing out, gritting their teeth with hatred: "Sure enough, it is the ship of Peng Demon Head, if I have dozens of cannons in my hands." Guaranteed to blast Peng's head to pieces! ”

Yang Fuqing's resentment could not conjure up dozens of cannons, on the contrary, the foreign cannons on these dozens of Hunan warships were firing at all possible lurking military targets on both sides of the Ganjiang River, although the speed was not fast, but this also made Yang Fuqing and Yang Xiongqing feel more and more threatened.

Yang Xiongqingtuan had just suffered a small loss from Peng Yulin's sailor two days ago, and although he had already made up for the soldiers and horses, he still scolded: "Now that Jiangxi is defeated, there is no shortage of anything else." I owe it to clean up this Peng demon head! ”

Counting up, the Hunan army has a fortified fortress, and Yang Xiongqing is not afraid, but this water division is crisscrossing the Ganjiang River and Poyang Lake, but it is indeed the great enemy of the Hong Army, and now Yang Xiongqing's heart is very hot. In the bottom of his heart, he still wants to go up another level.

Jiangxi is such a big place, how can tens of thousands of soldiers be guarded, now he Yang Xiongqing is only a regiment commander, but after defeating Jiangxi, the first division will definitely be transferred, then his opportunity has come.

Although he Yang Xiongqing is only a godfather recognized by Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, but with the relationship of Yang Changmei, he now considers himself a descendant of King Yan, and Yang Fuqing on the side said: "Can you borrow a few hundred Mini rifles?" Let's clean up the Peng demon head! ”

Yang Xiongqing immediately replied: "This method has been used by the first division. Peng Demon Head was unprepared at the time, close to the river bank, and as a result, he killed and injured twenty or thirty Qing demons, but since then, he has learned to be smart, and the boats are all in the middle stream, besides, Mini can only kill and injure some Qing demons with a gun, as long as the Qing Demon Warship is not lost, we will act on the shore. or too limited ......"...,

"That's it!" Yang Fuqing had already thought clearly: "Commander Qu is leading the snake out of the hole. ”

In the last two years. They fought against the Hunan Army's naval division many times, and they didn't know how many losses they suffered. From Xiangtan to Banbi Mountain, the Taiping army lost more than 10,000 warships, just the battle of Banbishan, lost more than 4,000 ships at one time, and finally retreated to Jiujiang-Hukou, all relying on Shi Da to open a cottage of the Hunan army's large and small warships to stabilize the war situation, but in this way, the Taiping army has also accumulated countless tactics against the Hunan army's naval divisions, especially the most typical Mulou water village and the iron chain lock river.

It's just that up to now, Qu Jie has only fought against the attacks of the Hunan army and the water division relatively dissipated, and he has not used the killer weapon until now, and as soon as Yang Xiongqing heard this, he understood: "Don't look at Commander Qu is known as a mediocre talent, but people are deeply hidden, I think when he really makes a move, Peng Youtou has to break his heart!" ”

Yang Fuqing was very optimistic about this attack on Nanchang City: "That's right! How many generals are in the Hong Army, but let Commander Qu be in the first place, how can such a character be simply regarded as it, I think Commander Qu's current arrangement is quite profound......"

"Not only by water, but also by land!" Yang Xiongqing agreed with Yang Fuqing's judgment: "It looks mediocre, but in fact it is stable, and the Qing Demon can't find a chance to start......"

"That's right, when Commander Qu makes a move, I'm afraid that Zeng Demon Head will reproduce the scene in Jinggang!"

……

"It's not easy! It's not easy to do! ”

Regarding the layout of Qu Jie and Huo Qiu under Nanchang City, Zeng Guofan also had a bad feeling: "I have always heard that this Qu Jie is only old enough among the red thieves, and he doesn't have many real skills, just like Lin Shaozhang back then, but after nearly ten years of fighting, although our army has a small victory, the red thief has safely entered more than ten miles outside Nanchang City, which is really unsettling......

Zhao Liewen comforted on the side: "This may not be the skill of the Qu thief, I heard that the old thief Huo Qiu was born in Yanxiong, he is very cunning, and he has two generals under him, Yun Tianzong and Lu Ziyun, and is called Nanxi Shuangyun, both of whom are well-known drama thieves." ”

"That's the worrying part!" Zeng Guofan replied: "If the Cantonese bandits in the past had Zeng Tianyang as the main general to preside over the affairs of committing Hunan Province, how could our Hunan army have a chance to rise?" Today, Linjiang County has been lost, Jiujiang is trapped by thieves, and only Nanchang is a lonely city, which is very dangerous! ”

Zhao Liewen finally waited for this opportunity, and immediately persuaded: "Shilang, today's elite of the Hunan army is gathered under the city of Nanchang, Li Xubin, Bao Chao, Liu Changyou, Peng Yulin, are all the journey of the rest of a hundred battles, if there is a loss, it is regrettable, the partial thief is blazing, although with the help of heaven, the army has not suffered a major setback, but there will be a loss in the long past, today's best policy, if you don't let the city go!" ”

"Don't let the city go, it's really the best policy!" Zeng Guofan is now very calm: "It's just that this superior strategy is not advisable, if Nanchang is lost, the Hunan and Hubei barriers will be lost, and the thieves will come and go, not to mention that if the Jiangxi salary source is lost, the army's salary source will be completely lost." ”

"Besides, there is still a strong city to defend Nanchang now, food and equipment are two-legged, if you let the city don't go, then the whole province of Jiangxi will fall into the enemy, our Hunan army has been operating for several years, only to get half of the territory of Jiangxi, Jiangxi is lost, then there is no food, no weapons, no pay, no city, the current strategy, lies in a drag word, Qu thief has no real ability, over time, there will be a loss......"

Although Zeng Guofan's idea was good, Zhao Liewen said bitterly: "Shilang thinks like this, that's the best, but now our army is helping the enemy, thanks to the sailor, if the waterway is lost, Nanchang will inevitably be in trouble, so it's better to prepare early!" ”

Zeng Guofan is really stubborn, he said: "I can't retreat, the Russian envoy has promised me that as long as I stay in Nanchang for a few months, there will be 8,000 elite foreign guns and hundreds of foreign cannons. ”…,

In addition to listening to Zeng Guofan's wishful thinking, Zhao Liewen has nothing to say, it seems that Zeng Guofan has made up his mind to stick to Nanchang City, but this is also a middle strategy: "Shilang, since the idea has been decided, then the high ditch and deep fortress, fight according to the city, as long as they hold each other for dozens of days, they will be able to force back the red thief!" ”

"The tactics of the Hunan army are just hard and stupid!" Zeng Guofan also made up his mind: "I have been operating in Nanchang for several years, with two legs of grain and equipment, and the number of red thieves has reached 50,000 or 60,000, and the soldiers under the city cannot last for a long time, as long as Nanchang is not lost, everything is certain......"

In fact, the more annoying part of the Hunan army, that is, this "hard village, dumb battle", high ditch and deep base, and even in a sense, this is another version of Qu Jie's tactics, even if you know that you can break the defense line in front of you, you need to pay a big price.

Huo Qiu, as the commander of the Second Division and the overseer of Jiangxi, although he is inferior to Qu Jie in terms of military system, he is almost the number one person on the entire Jiangxi front, so for his subordinates, he also looked at the company platoon barracks in front of him without hesitation and said: "Tianzong, Ziyun, what can you do?" ”

"The high ditch is deep, it's really difficult to do!" Lu Ziyun said: "The Hunan army has hundreds of camps on both sides of the Ganjiang River, and the number is tens of thousands, which is really difficult to do, how much I miss Li Yuandu now!" ”

Thinking of Li Yuandu's camp in Quzhou, Huo Qiu and Yun Tianzong both laughed, but after Huo Qiu laughed, he said: "It's just that I can't find Li Yuandu, Zeng Demon Head can't have other skills, but this digging camp and building a village is really an expert!" ”

The camps of the Hunan army have both width and depth, and can provide fire support to each other, and often form a camp group, such a camp cluster is often stationed with thousands of Hunan troops and a large number of Tuyong, and the Qing army with individual camp clusters has reached nearly 10,000 people, and the second division has organized a test attack to strengthen the company to strengthen the battalion scale, although the result has not suffered a big loss, but it has not taken a big advantage, so Yun Tianzong immediately said: "From Zhejiang to Jiangsu, and then to Jiangxi, it is difficult to deal with the Qing demon this time, but I have an idea?" ”

"Tianzong, let's hear about it!" Lu Ziyun immediately said: "Other troops can not work hard, but our second division can't, this is our second division of Jiangxi!" ”

Yun Tianzong immediately replied: "Master, then I said, it's time to make up your mind!" ”。 Bring the cute girl
