Chapter 976: Zheng Sen led the army into Jiujiang
At the same time as the news of the Jiangxi rebellion reached Nanjing, Du Yinxi and Zheng Sen on the march also learned about it at the first time.
At this time, the army advanced by land and water, and had just passed Huangzhou, and it was still three hundred miles away from Jiujiang.
Du Yinxi immediately ordered the army to stop advancing, and sent someone to quickly ask Zheng Sen, who led the front army, to discuss the matter.
Jiujiang Card is on the main road of the Yangtze River leading to Nanjing, which is a necessary place from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River downward, and it is impossible to cross at all. Both Du Yinxi and Zheng Sen knew the seriousness of the matter.
"Jiujiang is a place after all, and it must be taken in order to lead to Jiangdong safely, Lord Governor, the lower officials are willing to lead the headquarters to take Jiujiang directly and open up the way for the army." Zheng Sen was young and vigorous, so he took the initiative to ask for orders.
Gu Yinxi's expression was solemn: "Lord Zhu, the Jiangxi soldiers will not riot sooner or later, but at this time, there may be something strange in the riot, and it should not be ignored." ”
Although he was far away in Huguang, Du Yinxi still knew a lot of things, and rumors that there was the shadow of King Qi behind the Ainengqi rebels had reached his ears. Since the rebels are rumored to have something to do with the King of Qi, and the Jiangxi soldiers were created by the King of Qi at the beginning, and now the Jiangxi soldiers are rioting, is there any connection between them and the King of Qi? Plugging Yinxi can't help but think deeply.
Zheng Sen said: "The meaning of the Inspector is naturally understood, but success is thought to be fast. Now that the rioters have just occupied Jiujiang and have a firm foothold, it is the best opportunity to attack. Our army advanced by land and water, and the team pulled more than ten miles back and forth, and there was no way to bypass Jiujiang, so Jiujiang can't fight if it doesn't work, and it's better to fight late than early! ”
Du Yinxi nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, Master Zhu, you're tired." In this way, I will allocate more than half of the warships to you, and you will take all the headquarters down the river by boat and take Jiujiang for the army! ”
Zheng Sen was overjoyed: "If this is the case, it only takes a day and a night for our army to reach Jiujiang!" ”
More than 300 miles of river road, down the river for a day and night is enough! Du Yinxi knew the truth of the speed of the soldiers, so he decided to hand over most of the ships to Zheng Sen for use.
Immediately, Zheng Sen led 30,000 Xiangyang soldiers to board the ship and went down the river to Jiujiang to kill. In the morning, we had already arrived at the waters of Jiujiang.
At the head of Jiujiang City, looking at the sudden appearance of the imperial army, the riot army in the city panicked, and more than a dozen river boats cruising in the river did not dare to respond to the battle in the face of more than 200 warships, but turned around and fled back towards Jiujiang City.
On the largest warship, looking at this situation, Zheng Sen was secretly happy, but fortunately he made a timely decision and caught the rioters off guard.
"Beat the drum, hit Jiujiang directly!" With Zheng Sen's order, the war drums on the warship sounded, and the drums of "dong dong dong" spread to Jiuxiao, 30,000 soldiers shouted in unison, and 200 warships rushed towards Jiujiang.
On the dock outside Jiujiang City, there were only a dozen or so river boats, and when they saw the imperial fleet attacking, the rioters on the river boats did not dare to respond to the enemy at all, and cried and abandoned the warships and went ashore.
Without much effort, the Xiangyang soldiers took control of the riverside wharf, and the army began to assemble ashore.
Seeing that the Xiangyang soldiers captured the dock, the gate of Jiujiang City opened, and thousands of rioters shouted and killed.
Zheng Sen's general Chen Hui led the first 3,000 elites to go ashore to meet them, and the two sides launched a fierce battle.
Although the rioters were outnumbered, they were chaotic and poorly coordinated. Although the Xiangyang soldiers traveled a long distance, they did not consume much physical strength at all because they were all by boat. The Xiangyang soldiers are all descendants of Zheng Sen, most of them are Zheng Jiajun, who have been fighting with Zheng Sen for several years, and they can be called the essence of both combat power and cooperation. The two sides fought fiercely together, and for a while they were inseparable.
Seeing that the attacking army could not defeat the Xiangyang soldiers who came ashore, more riot troops rushed out of Jiujiang City and killed them towards the riverbank wharf.
Seeing that the subordinates who went ashore were flanked by the rioters on both sides, and the attacked ones were defeated and retreated, Zheng Sen had to invest more troops to go ashore to respond.
"The first battle is a decisive battle, the whole army abandons the ship and goes ashore, we must defeat the rebel army and capture Jiujiang!" Zheng Sen showed a cold look in his eyes, drew his sword and pointed at the riverbank, and gave the order for the whole army to attack.
Under Zheng Sen's order, Zhou Rui Ganhui and others rushed their warships towards the river bank, and there was no wharf to dock, so the ships anchored on the shore, and the soldiers waded and climbed towards the shore.
Finally, Zhou Rui Ganhui climbed the river bank with a team and appeared behind the rioters.
Under the attack of the two phases, the riot army finally became chaotic, gave up the attempt to besiege Chen Hui, and fled back towards Jiujiang City, hoping to rely on the city wall to resist the attack of the Xiangyang soldiers.
The rioters finally retreated, Chen Rui stood out of breath, the situation just now was extremely dangerous, under the siege of more than twice as many rioters, he almost couldn't hold the dock.
"How? Can you still fight? Zheng Sen had also gone ashore and asked Chen Hui, who was covered in blood, with concern.
"The surname of the country is lord, it is all the blood of the enemy, and the end will be fine!" Chen Hui smiled innocently and saluted Zheng Sen with a fist.
"Okay, since it's okay, continue to lead the troops to attack, and today we must take Jiujiang and open up the road to Jiangdong for the army!" Zheng Sen's eyes showed a glittering light and looked at Jiujiang City in the distance.
In the distance, Zhou Rui and Gan Hui were leading the army to pursue the rioters, and they were already close to Jiujiang City, which made Zheng Sen see the hope of conquering Jiujiang.
Jiangxi soldiers, the army personally reorganized and trained by King Qi is nothing more than that! Looking at the flags discarded by the rioters on the battlefield, Zheng Sen said secretly! In the past, Zheng Sen regarded Chen Yue, the king of Qi, as his idol, but now, the country hates family hatred, and the former idol has become his enemy. is also a young man of this era, Zheng Sen has his own pride, and is not willing to live in the shadow of anyone, and now he finally has a chance to prove himself!
Leaving a thousand people to guard the warship, Zheng Sen personally led the rest of the army towards Jiujiang. At this time, the rioters had fled back to Jiujiang City under the pursuit of the Xiangyang soldiers.
I can't bear to be killed by the Xiangyang soldiers, the city gate of Jiujiang has been open, the rioters are scrambling to enter the city, the city gate is too narrow, thousands of rioters want to enter the city It takes time, under the attack of Zhou Rui Ganhui and others, many rioters did not have time to enter the city, and fled around the city wall in other directions.
Zhou Rui and Gan Hui ignored these fleeing rioters, and just stormed in the direction of the city gate.
The Xiangyang soldiers attacked like a tide, but the city gate was blocked by the rioters who fled back, and the rioters defending the city were too late to close the city gate, and watched the Xiangyang soldiers follow the ass of their accomplices into the city.
After entering the city, Zhou Rui and Gan Hui divided their troops, one led the army to capture the city wall of the West Gate, and the other led the army to storm the city.
Watching his army rush into the city, Zheng Sen showed a look of satisfaction in his eyes!
