Chapter 279 Nanchang is also broken

"Poof!"

Liu Kun was retrograde with a breath of anger in his chest, and all the tea he had just drunk squirted out: "What did you say?" The soldiers of the New People's Army took Wu 1 Chang without blood! ”

"Yes, King Gan! They had already sent a large number of spies to hide in the city, and all of them used foreign guns to attack the city, opening the city gate, and Wu 1 Chang even missed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info", explained the person who reported the message.

Liu Kun lay heavily on the chair, his eyes were slightly closed, and he sighed secretly, the New People's Army is really good at playing internal and external attacks, this trick is really tried and tested, I don't know how many people have been pitted.

Dusk's eyes broke away, and Liu Kunyi stood up: "Not good! I, Nanchang, am afraid that it will not be safe, so I immediately searched for the New People's Army in the whole city and strictly investigated the spies. ”

After a while, in the city, there was a burst of chickens and dogs.

Out of town!

"Commander-in-chief, there is a sudden commotion in the city for some reason."

The reconnaissance battalion had just touched the alert troops arranged by Liu Kunyi on the outskirts of Nanchang, and then found that there was movement in the city and immediately came back to report it.

"Could it be that our sect has been exposed?"

"It shouldn't be! Are we here so hidden? ”

Tie 13 stood on the top of the hill and looked at Nanchang City, frowned slightly, and decisively ordered: "Don't care about so much, attack immediately, I will attack before dawn, the 2nd regiment will attack, if I can't take Nanchang, I will dismantle your regiment." ”

"It's the commander-in-chief, our 2nd regiment will definitely attack before dawn." The commander of the 2nd regiment turned around and went to deploy, and launched an attack on Nanchang City with people.

The 2nd Regiment is an old regiment, and its combat effectiveness is strong, and now the whole regiment is breech-loading guns, and it is even more desperate to rush to the city gate in the dark.

"King Gan, it's not good! There was a New People's Army outside the city, and they touched the city and launched a sneak attack on our Nanchang City. ”

Hearing the gunshots from the west, Liu Kun was shocked, and just as he was about to search for spies in the city, the enemy launched an attack, and quietly touched the city.

Just as Liu Kunyi was about to take most of his troops to support, a loud bang sounded, and the sky-high flames rose, illuminating half of the sky.

Then the henchmen came on horseback: "King Gan, the new people's army blew up the city gate, the city gate was lost, the enemy's musket was sharp, our musket team was killed by them in one shot, they have already attacked the city, King Gan run." ”

Liu Kunyi wanted to say a few words of recoiling and fighting back to recapture the city gate, but as soon as he heard the dense gunfire on the street not far away, he turned his head and said, "Withdraw, cross the river." ”

Liu Kun wanted to retreat to the south bank with the army, but there were not many ships, and the New People's Army attacked too fast and the muskets were too fierce, so he was defeated and killed and wounded in a round that he resisted, and there was no decent resistance at all.

Therefore, Liu Kunyi did not have so much time to pick up people to cross the river, and in the end, less than 2,000 people crossed the river, not to mention the loss of Nanchang, and the last bit of family wealth was also buried in the city and could not escape.

Soon the New People's Army organized boats to cross the river, Liu Kunyi personally led people to block the attack by the river, and was startled by the fierce gunfire in the face, the New People's Army had not yet crossed the river, and his 2,000 people died as many as four or five hundred.

Where do you dare to stay, take people to Fuzhou.

Escaped Liu Kunyi, Tie 13 didn't care, immediately reorganized the army, eliminated the old and weak, killed Liu Kunyi's backbone, and then one guarded Nanchang, and the other collected ships along the Gan River, attacked Fengcheng, and surrounded Liu Kunyi's main force of 80,000.

On the other side, the elite of the 15th Division took the initiative to cede Xingan County, exchanged space for time, and retreated to Jiajiang County, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The fourth column of Liu Tiancheng's division took advantage of the superior firepower to cross the river to the south bank at Jintan on the edge of the Ganjiang River, attacked Jishui County, blocked the river, and echoed the pincer county, and then divided 10,000 men and 2,000 muskets to capture Yongfeng County, cutting off the connection between the north and east of Ji'an.

After the third column attacked the east and occupied Taihe County, the entire Ji'an Prefecture was completely besieged, and soon Ji'an surrendered, and 40,000 people did not do much resistance, of course, this is a later story, because Fuzhou was broken at that time, and there was no point in defending.

"Attack! Kill Jiang Yifeng, King Gan will be rewarded. ”

In Xinxi Township, near Yuan Shui, Liu Kunyi's main force was attacking Jiang Yifeng of the 15th Division, cutting off the connection between the 15th Division headquarters on the south bank of the Ganjiang River and this side, not knowing that Nanchang had been broken, and he had become a turtle in an urn, and he was still launching a fierce offensive.

Where 30,000 men attacked a small place, they thought that they had several times more soldiers than the other side, and even if they had fewer muskets, they could take it down.

In order to hold back this main force as much as possible, Jiang Yifeng first put the 5,000 people of the first column in front and retreated one after another, which made Liu Kunyi's subordinates overjoyed, forgetting how Jiang Yifeng defeated the 100,000 army of Jinjinwen back then, and he was arrogant and proud, and began to disagree with Jiang Yifeng.

Until an opportunity came, both sides received news from Nanchang, Liu Kun was shocked, and hurriedly collected his troops and prepared to retreat.

But it was too late at this time, and Jiang Yifeng, who had been waiting for a long time, spit out leisurely: "The 15th Division can attack, I will eat them all." ”

In addition to the equipment used in the past, the 15th Division also has 2,000 Mini rifles this time, and its combat effectiveness is even more fierce.

The enemy retreated and I advanced, the momentum was like a rainbow, Liu Kun only wanted to retreat to the south bank of the Ganjiang River at this time, the army was in chaos, and it was not an opponent, it was quickly defeated, three or four thousand people were killed and wounded, and the rest fled, and nearly half surrendered directly.

In addition to the loyalty of the upper echelons to Liu Kunyi, the soldiers below were all peasants half a year ago, and they had no good impression of the Xianghan and Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Leaving the men of the 1st column to receive the prisoners, the 15th Division pursued all the way, blockading Yuan Shui, and trapping the other fleeing enemy troops in a narrow strip between the two rivers with no way to escape.

In the end, a small number of more than 1,000 people crossed the Gan River and fled back to Zhangshu, and most of them surrendered to the 15th Division.

The forces of the three regiments of the 2nd Army also broke through Fengcheng, which was defended by only 10,000 men, killing and wounding 2,000 people, and the rest surrendered.

In the direction of Jiajiang County, after receiving the news, Jiang Yifeng and the 15th Division personally took the opportunity to cross the Ganjiang River and land in Lijiang Township, cutting off the connection between Xingan County and Zhangshu.

The 20,000 defenders of Xingan County were shocked when they heard this, and took the initiative to withdraw from the city to avoid being annihilated by the two sides, and ran to the direction of Fuzhou by small road.

At this time, Liu Kun's first section in Zhangshu City was even more besieged, and there was no hope, so he surrendered to Kaicheng and reaped the benefits of not killing.

The 15th Division and the two regiments of the 2nd Army met in Zhangshu, and Jiang Yifeng had not rested yet, and the Iron Thirteenth Order was delivered.

"The commander-in-chief asked me to be the commander-in-chief of the attack on Fuzhou." Jiang Yifeng, who received the order, was still a little surprised, this was obviously a gift to himself, and he secretly admired Tie Thirteen. So he took the 15th Division and the first column of 6,000 people, plus two regiments of the 2nd Army, to attack Fuzhou from the east.

And Tie 13 himself attacked Yongxiu and Dechang from Nanchang, and ate Liu Kunyi's other 20,000 rabble with 20,000 people in the second column.

Liu Kun, who had just fled to Fuzhou, was shocked, at this time he only had 40,000 horses available in Fuzhou, and the New People's Army continued to exert its strength.

Jiang Yifeng on the north road, Liu Tiancheng's dominant musket infantry on the middle road advanced along Le'an and Chongren, and Li Jinxue's superior musket infantry on the south road swept the leaves from Xingguo, Ningdu, Guangchang, and Nanfeng all the way to the autumn wind.

In the south, thanks to Li Xiucheng, he was pinned down by Zuo Zongtang, otherwise the remnants of the Taiping Army would have attacked Fuzhou along this road. (To be continued.) )
