Chapter 196: A gentleman does not erect a dangerous wall

Don't look at Feng Zicai's command of 5,000 troops, but the weapons of the people below are not decent, they are all knives and spears, and a little better have short-shot crossbows, and his own soldiers carry carrying guns and more than a dozen flintlock pistols.

After all, it is not a drop system, there was no war here in Zhenjiang back then, it belonged to the edge of the battlefield, and the troops of the Taiping army attacking here were all nearby farmers with kitchen knives and hoes.

What's more, because the defenders are waiting for someone to come and send them to death, the real Feng family's army is not strong, and it is far from comparable to the later Zhennanguan Battle when there were musket equipment.

However, Feng Zicai was not dragged away by Yang Ruishan, but took his own soldiers to block the New People's Army on the street, and asked Yang Ruishan to gather troops and pull back most of the riverside, and even wanted to counter-encircle and kill the New People's Army in the city.

The ending can be predicted, his blocking line was trampled by the horse's hooves, his own soldiers were chopped down by the swords one by one, and in the end he was the only one left on the street.

More than a dozen horsemen surrounded him, Feng Zicai was holding a big pu knife, guarding left and right, and there was a faint regret in his heart, he didn't expect that this group of people was really so strong, and his own soldiers who had been in a hundred battles were all killed in this way.

"Who are you, and why did you suddenly attack us?" I want to be a ghost when I die, Feng Zicai asked, Feng Dazhao told him with a smile, pointed to the clothes on his body and said: "See our clothes, there will be no second family in the world, we are the new people-army!" ”

"What! You are the New People's Army. That's impossible! ”

With a bang, Feng Zicai felt powerless, and the big pu knife in his hand fell to the ground.

captured Zhenjiang and captured Feng Zicai, Yang Dongfang did not kill him, but kindly persuaded him to surrender, but this old bull nose did not buy it, saying that even if Yang Dongfang attacked Zhenjiang and fought to Nanjing, he would not be Zeng Guofan's opponent.

There are at least 250,000 troops gathered around Nanjing, and the Hunan and Han dynasties can heap you to death with their heads.

Yang Dongfang was speechless, you are really outdated in your thinking, Mani and I fought from the south to the north, and then from the north to the south, didn't you see it from it and learn mobile warfare? Who is playing against you in this year's positional warfare.

"Haha, ridiculous, who said that I was going to fight Nanjing, the old man of Zeng Guofan is not worth the price, it is not easy to kill him, I fought on the Yangtze River to attack Shanghai, to recover our land, the land lost by your old master." Yang Dongfang said impassionedly, Feng Zicai was stunned for a moment, his face was ashamed, but after a while, his expression changed, a trace of light flashed in his eyes, and then it became dim again, and the old face sneered:

"How is it possible, you want to fight Shanghai County, nonsense, you still want to fight the concession, you are not crazy, foreigners are also you can provoke."

Your sister. Can the old man still have a pleasant chat, is this kind of thing funny? Is it necessary to be cynical? If it weren't for the fact that you had beaten the French later, I would have wanted to kill you with one sword.

Yang Dongfang didn't talk to him either, so he tied him up and took him directly to Shanghai, passing by the defense area of Feng Zhaojin's subordinate Feng Zicai in Danyang, Feng Zhaojin took the initiative to get out of the way and did not pursue.

Yang Ruishan, who was regrouped in the back, chased after him and angrily reprimanded Feng Zhaojin: "Why do you want to let go of the thieves, you have 2,000 people, and you haven't fired a single shot or arrow." ”

Feng Zhaojin glanced at him innocently, and said sadly: "My lord is still in the hands of the New People's Army, do I dare to move?" Besides, can we stop them? ”

"This...!"

————————

"What? Yang Dongfang captured Zhenjiang, what about Peng Yulin? What does his Yangtze River sailor do to eat, how can he let the New People's Army cross the Yangtze River. ”

Nanjing, the court of the Hunan and Han dynasties could hear the needles falling, and the silence was terrifying, and all the courtiers of the Hunan and Han dynasties knelt on the ground, with the bottom of their heads to the ground.

No one expected that Yang Dongfang would cross the Yangtze River unknowingly, cross the Yangtze River in just one day, and capture Zhenjiang.

Zhenjiang to Nanjing can be reached overnight, only 60 kilometers, the cavalry said that they can arrive, so everyone can not be frightened.

"Let's all get up and discuss the next countermeasures, how to block Yang Dongfang, where the New People's Army has gone, and whether it will attack Nanjing."

"Back to the emperor, the latest battle report, Yang Dongfang kidnapped Feng Zicai and just passed Danyang and went to Changzhou."

"It's unlikely, could it be that Yang Dongfang got lost and ran to Changzhou."

The joke wasn't funny at all, and everyone kept sneering. What's more, you still hope that he won't be able to kill Nanjing.

"Silence!"

"Ugh"

It was already very quiet, and the eunuch in front of the palace retreated to the back in embarrassment, because Zeng Guofan's knife-like gaze shot from behind, this thing must be whipped, and a eunuch came out to make a face.

The atmosphere is stiff and people always have to be active, so some people suggested, on the one hand, set up more interception lines, build multiple defenses, treat Yang Dongfang as a great enemy, and at the same time move the scolding to Anqing, saying that Nanjing's feng shui is not good, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has just defeated Nanjing, and Anqing is more suitable for the capital of Hunan and Han in all aspects.

Needless to say, there is no need to say that there will be a plan for you and me, and Danyang, Jintan, Liyang, and Yixing will be the front line. In Lishui, Rongshi Zhenjiang is the second line. The general was transferred from the north bank of the Yangtze River back to the south of Nanjing.

As for moving Anqing, this matter has long been criticized, Nanjing's geographical location is destined to be vulnerable to attacks from all directions, since ancient times, only Zhu Yuanzhang has been the only one who built the country and built the emperor to conquer the whole country, and the others were either destroyed or surrendered even if they built here.

Some people have long persuaded Zeng Guofan to regard Anqing as a temporary capital, and Xianghan also hesitated, after all, Nanjing has been fighting for so many years, and it has long been defeated, and the former prosperity has long been gone, and it will take ten years to recover in order to have some popularity.

In the end, he still didn't stand the pressure, and Zeng Guofan didn't want to be Tongzhi, so someone said a key sentence that made him decide to go to the Anqing base camp.

"Where Yang Dongfang has been, this thief will be able to think for thousands of miles, come and go without a trace, Zhenjiang has been lost once, and I am afraid of accidents."

Next Olympics! Yes, the problem is back to Zhenjiang, which is too close to Nanjing.

A gentleman doesn't stand a dangerous wall, don't learn from Hong Xiuquan who is reluctant to give up a dead city, and confine himself alive.

Yang Dongfang didn't know that when he passed by Changzhou, Zeng Guofan and the others had already discussed running to Anqing, but even if he knew that he was not calling, he rushed straight through Changzhou and quickly passed by Changzhou, and by the way, he also said hello to the Hunan army in the city, and released dozens of shots, and then rushed to the next target.

But soon he was in the cup, after Changzhou is the first line of Wuxi, here is the territory of the Huai army pseudo-Qing, beware of the Xianghan in Nanjing, naturally put a lot of troops in various passes, ferries and access roads.

When Yang Dongfang and others came, the Huai army and other Qing troops opened fire decisively, sounding the battle horn, and it was not like the Hunan army, which was defenseless and was passed straight by him.

The river network in this area is more dense, the Qianmo is vertical and horizontal, the withered yellow reeds are fluttering in the wind, the lower half is the newly sprouted young grass, and the lake water is beating the embankment and dam everywhere, there is a natural line of defense, Yang Dongfang is thinking that it is impossible to charge straight with the cavalry.

After fighting for a round and losing dozens of war horses, Yang Dongfang realized that Li Hongzhang had put the elite here, a breech gun in Yishui, and a cannon bombardment, obviously Li Hongzhang attached great importance to this area and left the old pawn.

He did not rush hard, but took other paths, looking for a way to cross, and as he walked, they got lost.
