After the defeat of Yuezhou, the Sanjiang Naval Division not only incorporated part of the original Hunan Army's naval divisions, but also expanded the number to 6,000 people, and in addition to Yang Dongfang, swept all the way across the Pacific Ocean, robbed more than 20 large ships, and several warships.
At the same time, because of the fall of Yang Yuebin, there was no comparable existence on the water surface of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, not to mention the collapse of the Hunan and Han dynasties, and the Hunan generals turned back to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
It was also impossible for Zeng Guoquan Ming to send Peng Yufu west to support the people who had just rebelled, because his sailors were still on guard against the Manchu Qing in Jiangbei day and night.
Therefore, when the mighty Sanjiang Naval Division dispatched eastward, the three towns of Wuhan suddenly set off huge waves, Wuchang was not guaranteed, and there were many crises.
Soon, the Sanjiang Naval Division took advantage of its advantages to cut off Wuchang's connection with Wuhan.
The 3rd Division attacked Wuchang by land along the Yangtze River with the naval division, and the original eastward division renamed the 9th Division attacked Xian 1 Ning from Chibi, and then divided the troops into two routes, one directly attacked the right flank of Wuchang, and continued eastward all the way to attack Huangshi and Ezhou, cut off the connection between the Wuchang area and the road and land in the direction of Jiang 1 and the West Jiujiang River, complete the encirclement, and completely annihilate the enemy forces here.
The New People's Army continued its crusade to the east, and it was more ferocious and more powerful, which frightened the Manchu side, and Sun Kaihua, who had just been named the king of Xinyang, rushed to Wuhan with a large army to defend the three towns.
However, he didn't have a water division, so he could only look at the river and sigh, and hold Wuhan and Hanyang without losing, of course, mainly because before the New People's Army ate Wuchang, Li He didn't have time to pay attention to him.
The New People's Army went east, and another person was the most worried, he was Liu Kunyi of Nanchang, and as soon as Wuchang was lost, he knew that the spearhead of the New People's Army would be Jiujiang, and he would rush to him.
And its own territory is connected to the south of Lake 1 and the east of Guang1, whether it is by water or land, it is a direct threat on its side, and it is dew everywhere.
So he has been accumulating preparations for war, repairing the city, digging trenches, and expanding the army, even so, he is still very uneasy, faintly regretful, and the Xiang Han broke too fast, although he was crowned the king, but now there is no one to ask for help, the Manchu Qing Emperor is far away, and it is too difficult to reach out.
Zeng Guoquan is there, if this guy doesn't stab the knife and fall into the well, you can burn high incense.
As for the left mule in Zhejiang, hey!
Don't mention it, this guy's brain is burned out, or that stubbornness, and Li Xiucheng is on the same page, and the two of them fight so much that it is dark, and they don't care about other things, and they insist on separating themselves.
"The king of Gan is not good, the third column of the New People's Army attacked Ganzhou, the situation was fierce, Ganzhou was in a hurry, the New People's Army Li Jinxue was cunning like a fox and quietly entered from Nanru City in Lake 1, and went directly to the city of Ganzhou, Nanxiong and Xinfeng let the city go when they heard the words.
Yang Daliu claimed to have 80,000 horses from Shaoguan to the north, and after receiving Nanxiong Xinfeng without blood, he hit Ganzhou. ā
"How can it be so fast!" Liu Kun was shocked, and said that Cao Cao Cao was coming, and the New People's Army had already attacked in two ways, so there must be one more middle road next, and sure enough, someone came to report after a while.
"King Gan! Liu Tiancheng, the fourth column of the New People's Army, entered from the direction of Chaling with 80,000 horses and attacked Ji'an. ā
"King Gan! The first column of the New People's Army and Jiang Yifeng's 15th Division, known as 80,000 horses, attacked Yichun and Xintu, and Jiang Yifeng threatened to break through Nanchang within five days and capture the king alive. ā
Liu Kun was so angry that he slapped the table and was angry: "Bastard! Jiang Yifeng, the puppet, dared to beat me, and dared to make a lot of nonsense, I will definitely kill him with my own hands. ā
Jiang Yifeng is very strong, he knows, but he dares to say that he will attack his Nanchang in five days, and he dares to say that he will be captured alive, he is really contemptuous, he doesn't take himself seriously, he has also been his boss, and Liu Kun can't bear this tone.
Judging from the general signs, Jiang Yifeng is the main force of the vanguard.
"Order Ganzhou to defend me and not take half a step back, order the defenders of Ji'an not to panic, I will send a large army to support." As soon as Liu Kun analyzed the situation, he could see at a glance that Jiang Yifeng's target was not Nanchang but Zhangshu, who came to blockade Ji'an Mansion.
So he wants to send a large army to guard Zhangshu and Xingan, and maintain the connection between Ji'an and Nanchang, as for Ganzhou, he has already been regarded as an outcast, and he can block it for as long as he can, he is a doppelganger.
Soon Jiang Yifeng waterway and according to Yuan Shui, the army reached Zhangshu, Zhangshu has Liu Kun 150,000 horses garrisoned, plus there is the Ganjiang River for defense, although the advantage of firearms, but also for a while.
However, this time he made another move to attack Liuzhou in Dacheng, most of them bluffed in Zhangshu, continued to build momentum for Tie Thirteen, and then sent the elite from Yuan Shui to the nearest beachhead of the Ganjiang River to drag a bamboo raft to cross the river on the lower Ganjiang River by land, and launched an attack on Xingan County from Lijiang Township in the south of the Yangtze River, and took the county seat on the south bank in one fell swoop.
Then he captured Jiajiang County, which made Liu Kun passive, and then transferred 30,000 horses to Zhangshu, and divided the troops into two routes, took the initiative to attack, crossed the river all the way to contain most of Jiang Yifeng, and quickly attacked Xingan County by water.
At this time, Ganzhou was lost, and the fourth column had not yet gone south to cooperate with the battle, and the third column knocked on the gate of Ganzhou with the sharp weapon in its hand and killed thousands of enemies. The troops began to advance in two directions towards Xingguo and Wan'an.
"The loss is so fast, the combat effectiveness of the New People's Army is really so strong." Liu Kunyi, whose brows were twisted into Sichuan characters, was in a terrible mood, bad news came one after another, and bad premonitions kept haunting him.
Although he expanded his army by more than 200,000, the combat effectiveness of the following generals was not strong, especially the lack of ammunition and guns, without the supply of Anqing Ordnance in Xianghan, even the ammunition for flintlock pistols was extremely scarce.
"King Gan, the second column of the New People's Army also attacked, they attacked from Pingjiang and Xiushui, but there were mostly mountain roads, not large armies."
Hearing this, Liu Kunyi had an even more headache, the New People's Army was an all-out attack, so he was overwhelmed, and he took a deep breath before he said: "Although it is not the main army, but it is not allowed to let them break into Poyang Lake, transfer 20,000 people to De'an, there is no room for loss here." ā
The north and south are divided into troops, Nanchang seems a little empty, Liu Kunyi feels that before the three towns of Wuhan are lost, he is still relatively safe here, so the main focus is still on the south, the southern New People's Army is called 160,000, which is still very bluffing.
In fact, it is indeed very powerful, and he has no way, in the final analysis, his strength is not good.
But he didn't know that at this time, the real crisis was running towards him, and the main force of the 2nd Army fell directly to Huanglong to the city of Nanchang.
The seven regiments of the Second Army went all the way, in order not to expose the main force, they all directly besieged the city, blocked the news, and still sent troops to close the city after the battle, and did not let them enter or leave.
At night, the lights are dim, the stars are dotted, all kinds of silence, Liu Kunyi, who has not slept for several nights, is waiting for news from all parties in the hall, just took a nap, and in his dream he was injured by a tiger, and he was about to be eaten, and was suddenly woken up.
With a sweaty face, he touched his face, calmed down, drank the hot tea that his subordinates had just sent, and then asked the person who came in to deliver the war report: "What's the bad news?" ā
"King Gan, I just received the news that there are a large number of spies in the city of Dawu 1 Chang of the New People's Army, and they should cooperate with the outside to help the soldiers of the New People's Army to capture Wu 1 Chang without blood." (To be continued.) )
