The city of Changzhou was captured by the Taiping soldiers led by the Yiwang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Qing generals who fled, except for Ji Shun, the chief soldier of Hezhou Town, and Qin Dingsan, the chief soldier of Guizhou Zhenyuan, who led several guerrillas and Qianzong to flee disguised as ordinary Qing soldiers, the rest, including Jiangning General Su Butong'a, Jiangsu Governor Fuxing, two high-ranking officials from Yipin, and Zhao Zhenzuo, the head of the regimental training in the city, were all captured on the spot.

The ordinary Qing soldiers did not take many prisoners, but the regiment was brave and strong, and it surrendered nearly 20,000 people in an uproar, not including the thousands who fled to the homes of the people.

Shi Dakai, who occupies Changzhou City, is naturally smiling. It was only now that he felt that it had some effect on the Holy Kingdom, and he couldn't wait to write a letter and send someone to send it to the Holy King in Guangzhou.

In the evening of the same day, the Eighth Division of the First Division, which had arrived from Wuxi City, arrived outside Changzhou City.

Chen Tianshi already knew halfway through that Shi Dakai had led the troops to capture Changzhou, and he was also overjoyed, so he immediately came to Changzhou City to visit the first prince of the Holy Kingdom other than the Holy King himself, the Righteous King, whom the Holy King attaches great importance to and has been proclaimed personally!

The south gate of Changzhou City has been cleaned up at the moment, but the dark red blood stains on the blue bricks on both sides of the city wall all indicate the bloody battle that took place here.

Shi Dakai did not entrust the university, and personally led Yang Fuqing, Tu Zhenxing, Chen Shizhang, Shi Fengkui, Shi Zhenji and other Taiping Army generals to greet them at the city gate.

I saw that on the official road in the distance, the dust was flying, popping, popping, popping...... There was a deafening sound that was neat and rhythmic, and it was getting closer and closer, and it was only as the whole ground and the walls seemed to tremble.

Shi Zhenji, who was outspoken, exclaimed with surprise on his face: "It's actually footsteps? I can't imagine that the march can still make such a majestic footstep, and the pace is exactly the same, how long does this have to be trained? ”

Tu Zhenxing was also stunned: "Yes! Lao Tu has been fighting for so many years, and he never thought that the soldiers would be able to walk out of such an effect. This, this ......" he could no longer find the words to describe it, the rest was only amazement.

That's right, in their opinion, the soldiers of the Taiping Army, the march is fast, and it is relatively neat. If you change the green battalion soldiers, staggering around, it would be good to march at this speed, and ask so much, whether he walks over or crawls over.

Shi Dakai's face also changed!

He has been keeping an eye on the army of captives formed by the King of the South. But I only heard that the captive army was an elite soldier personally trained by Nanwang using a new method of military training, and he was well-trained, but he only heard about it, and he didn't have an intuitive impression. Judging from the invincible record of the captive army attacking the city and plundering the land, it must not be bad.

But he never imagined that the captives would be so well-trained! is so well-trained that even the commander of an army like him is terrified.

Judging from this neat pace and powerful stepping, Shi Dakai understood that these soldiers must have been training for a long time. However, it has not been more than a year since the capture army was established, so it is conceivable that these soldiers must have used all the marching and walking time in peacetime to train in this way to achieve this effect.

As the Eighth Division of the First Division got closer and closer, the sound of snapping footsteps seemed to have stepped into the hearts of everyone. A torrent like a city wall crossed in front of everyone, and what followed was a solemn and depressing feeling of suffocation, Shi Dakai knew in his heart that this was a kind of murderous aura.

In the face of such a brave soldier, Yang Fuqing and others couldn't help but blush and be ashamed. Look at the soldiers you lead, or the elite of the Taiping Army, compared to it, it is simply ......

Chen Tianshi didn't pay attention to it so much, he came straight to Shi Dakai and solemnly gave a military salute to the captive army. Under his leadership, there were thousands of begging soldiers on the official road outside the city gate standing behind him, and they also saluted at the same time, all of which were a height, a style, and a posture at a time, which made the Taiping soldiers stunned, and a heartfelt appreciation spread in their hearts!

This is the fucking army!

"Report to King Yi, Chen Tianshi, the commander of the Eighth Division of the Holy Kingdom's Capture Army, led 6,000 soldiers of the Eighth Division to Changzhou City, and asked King Yi for instructions!" Chen Tianshi, who had finished saluting, stood up and reported to Shi Da.

Although Chen Tianshi was not a Guangxi veteran, his staff officers had Guangxi veterans, and he had already told him who Shi Dakai was.

Shi Dakai was a little stunned, he couldn't understand what the situation was. However, he was immediately dumbfounded, this is a new way of communication that Nanwang later made in the army, it is neat and neat, and has the spirit of a man. In the future, presumably these Taiping soldiers behind him will also implement this kind of training and communication methods.

Shi Dakai pretended to be calm and nodded, and also learned from Chen Tianshi's appearance, and saluted, although it was not like it, but it was also very serious: "Let the soldiers enter the city!" ”

"Yes!" Chen Tianshi shouted and saluted again. Then, a crisp and beautiful one turned around and shouted at the commander of the company commander of the division headquarters at the front: "Herald, all of them have it, follow me into the city!" ”

As Chen Tianshi finished shouting, the commander of the herald company began to shout slogans: "One, one, one, two!" While shouting slogans, he stood still.

At this time, all the soldiers of the captive army also stepped on the rhythm, followed the commander of the herald company, stepped on the spot, and shook the dust in the sky, so that the Taiping soldiers covered their noses one after another, and the soldiers of the captive army turned a blind eye.

Immediately afterwards, the company commander saw that everyone's rhythm had been adjusted, and shouted directly: "Let's go!" And he opened his legs and drove into the city. The soldiers of the captives marched into the city in an orderly manner with their weapons in hand.

Shi Dakai noticed that in the hands of these soldiers of the captive army, there were more than 1,000 people in the front, and the weapons were a little mixed, including brand knives and spears, etc., and the nearly 5,000 people in the middle and back were all foreign guns with a dark and cold light.

However, at the beginning, all of them were distributed by the East King, and he distributed most of the foreign guns in the hands of the Taiping soldiers in the East Palace, which made Shi Dakai cheaper, because among the soldiers in the East Palace, Yang Fuqing, Tu Zhenxing, Chen Shizhang, and the city guards in the original Tianjing City now ran to his men, followed by the foreign guns equipped with them, and also brought nearly 3,000 rods.

It's just that what makes Shi Dakai speechless is that in this attack on Changzhou City, their foreign guns failed to come in handy. The reason is that the foreigners sell too few guns and bullets, and Tianjing himself cannot make such foreign gun bullets. Originally, I wanted to go to Shanghi to buy some, but later, Shanghi was also occupied by the begging army. After the battle of the Jiangnan camp, the guns and ammunition were basically exhausted, and these powerful foreign guns became ornaments.

However, now that he has joined the Capture Army, he can use it again.

And Shi Zhenji on the side was even more drumming in his heart, he liked these foreign guns the most, and when he saw thousands of soldiers coming towards him, he was the first to find foreign guns. It's just that he was stunned by so many foreign guns. Come to think of it, this is just a part of the strength of the Eighth Division in the Holy Kingdom's captive army! But just this half of the foreign guns of the Eighth Division of the First Division are already equivalent to the number of foreign guns in the entire Heavenly Kingdom.

In the entire Holy Kingdom, there are at least seven such first-class divisions, and since there are first-class divisions, there are second-class divisions, and I don't know how many there are, but from here, judging from the strength and weapons of the entire Holy Kingdom, it is unimaginably strong.

A day later, according to the instructions of the General Staff, the two armies were combined, and Chen Tianshi of the Eighth Division of the First Division also temporarily obeyed the command of Shi Dakai, the king of righteousness, however, according to the opinion of the Holy King, the General Staff suggested that Shi Dakai no longer go north to attack Zhenjiang, but cooperate with the soldiers of the southern army to capture the areas around northern Zhejiang.

Shi Dakai was not very familiar with the captive army, so he naturally agreed.

He immediately ordered to send 10,000 Taiping soldiers and 2,000 captive soldiers, divided into ten teams, to go to the countryside together to sweep away the remnants of the Qing army in the countryside. In just a few days, the entire countryside around Changzhou Mansion and Suzhou Mansion was turned upside down, and all Qing forces were eliminated.

After another two days, Shi Dakai and Chen Tianshi left 2,000 captives and 5,000 Taiping soldiers to guard Changzhou City, and let nearly 10,000 Taiping soldiers scatter in rural towns and towns, waiting for the General Staff to send local garrisons to garrison. The remaining 4,000 soldiers and 10,000 Taiping soldiers were personally led by Shi Dakai and others, together with 4,000 soldiers of the 10th Division, took a warship from the canal through Suzhou into Taihu Lake and headed directly in the direction of Huzhou.
