Where is it high, in fact, Luo Yang doesn't want to kill these guys, it's not their suffering, but pity their talents, on the battlefield, the bravery of the Hunan army, he saw it with his own eyes, he wants to recruit these people, sweeping the Manchu government is imminent, if these Hunan troops can surrender, equipped with enough weapons and ammunition, they will be elite troops in the future against the powers,

In any case, these people are generals, China's vitality, national defense elite, and they can't be easily stepped on.

Eating, talking, and wandering again, supporting Li Xiucheng, and quickly won his favor, Li Xiucheng suggested: "King Rui, we should immediately send troops out, first, to find the enemy for a decisive battle, and second, to collect the remnants of our army, at that time, we can turn the tide and restore the splendid rivers and mountains south of our Yangtze River." ”

Li Xiucheng's suggestion was good, Luo Yang summoned the officers of various units, inquired about the reserves of weapons and ammunition, and asked about the intelligence of the scouts.

Li Xiucheng was very happy, but he found that Luo Yang's work was not like this at all, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized: "King Rui is really tall." ”

In fact, Li Xiucheng is an honest man, he is the same as Chen Yucheng, loyal to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, real wisdom or something, in fact, it is average, the reason why he can emerge in the late period of the Heavenly Kingdom is that there are two points, first, the two of them fought bravely, and second, loyal young people cannot form a political threat to Hong Xiuquan,

Luo Yang did not send people to walk around, but released all the Hunan prisoners of war, especially those who were slightly injured, and told them that Zeng Guoquan, Liu Songshan and others were all imprisoned here, and if the Hunan army was not convinced, they could come to take revenge.

At the same time, it sent cavalry reconnaissance personnel to move around, and also sent a cavalry battalion carrying a large number of grenades and other weapons to attack the Yangtze River, looking for troops in Jiangbei, asking them to cross the river and cooperate in the battle.

"What, the Nine Marshals were captured by the thief army." Xi Baotian, the general of the Hunan army, led ten battalions of officers and soldiers, just rushed back from the south, because they went out to chase the remnants of the Taiping army, they made a roundabout trajectory, only more than thirty miles away from Nanjing, and the sound of flying thunder cannons was enough for them to hear, such a huge sound, continuously fired, too shocking,

According to the most primitive method, the Hunan army crawled on the ground and listened with their ears, and they could immediately feel the direction and intensity of the cannon explosion, so they quickly returned with reinforcements.

ran into a released defeated soldier head-on, and the combination of the two shocked Xi Baotian beyond measure.

The defeated soldier reported to him the power of the enemy's weapon, which made Xi Baotian sneer: "Defeat is defeat, is it interesting to find so much gossip." ”

Having said that, Xi Baotian was quite cautious, he stationed his troops fifteen miles south of Tianjing, sent cavalry, and quickly invited the Hunan troops in various places.

A day after Zeng Guoquan was captured, all the units of the Hunan army had gathered to form a huge current, and at night, they carried out a tentative attack on the city of Nanjing.

Huaxia Tian** did not give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it, and the city wall that was collapsed by the Qing army has been blocked and built, so that the Qing army is so angry that it is impossible to climb.

When the Hunan army attacked, it was hit fiercely by the Huaxia army, especially the powerful canned explosives packs, all of which were packed with porcelain, once bursting, the broken porcelain pieces were sharp weapons, so, in the dark, the Hunan army suffered great casualties, and after attacking for a while, the Hunan army retreated.

The next day, the Hunan army gathered around the south gate of the city, lined up the foreign cannons carried in front of the battle, and the troops coordinated to break the city in one fell swoop.

The troops of the Hunan army are, Xi Baotian's 10th battalion, Wang Debang's 7th battalion, Wang Kaihua's 8th battalion, Liu Changyou's 5th battalion, Xiao Deyang's 8th battalion, 38th battalion elite, more than 25,000 people, pushing more than 60 foreign cannons, thousands of foreign guns in the evil way, approaching the city with great momentum.

Nanjing's city wall, not built, although the foreign cannon is powerful, can only bombard people, but can not collapse the city wall, besides, once the enemy collapses the city wall, there will be city defenders to build, extremely thick and tall city wall, is piled up by large green bricks and stones, foreign artillery bombardment on it, but a small pit, so, if the Qing army really wants to break the city, it must use mines to bombard the bottom of the city, this is also the last Qing army's trick to attack the city,

Luo Yang led the officers and soldiers, 9,000 troops, 2,000 rescued female soldiers and women, the number was much more than the Qing army, so he was calm and leisurely, with 3,000 troops, out of the southern part of the city, ready to fight,

The Qing army was very cunning and sent troops to besiege on all sides, so Luo Yang simply reduced the number of troops out of the city to 1,000 men, 500 infantry, 100 cavalry, 400 artillery,

Under the city of Nanjing, the Chinese army of 1,000 people began to fight against the elite of the Qing army of 10,000 people.

The Qing army bombarded the Huaxia army, Luo Yang immediately dispersed the troops, and at the same time, the troops in the city also bombarded with foreign artillery.

In the city of Nanjing, the Luoyang army carried a lot of foreign artillery, captured a lot of Huai army, and, in the city of Nanjing, the sudden attack, killed and injured many enemy troops, and also captured a lot of foreign artillery, this time, all came in handy,

The foreign artillery of the Huaxia army was condescending, bombarded high and far, occupied the advantage, and bombarded the Qing army more miserably.

Soon, after the shells carried by the Qing army were bombarded, they were no longer rampant, and the Huaxia army in the city also stopped the bombardment rationally.

The Qing army changed the plan of the battle, and Wang Kaihua was on the position, angry: "Where did the long hair come from so much, and there are so many cannons. ”

Xi Baotian was angry: "Hey, what kind of battle is this, we finally broke the city, and after a short while, we came out to chase people, and as a result, chased and chased, chased people into the city again, and gave our Zeng Jiushuai to ......."

The infantry of the Qing army did not dare to charge, because Xi Baotian believed in the words of the defeated soldiers, knew that the Huaxia army had a big killing weapon, and originally wanted to use foreign artillery bombardment to cover the infantry charge and climb to the city.

Wang Kaihua was anxious,

He is Wang Xin's younger brother, Wang Xin, also known as Wang Zhen, is a disciple of Luo Zenan and one of the founders of the Hunan Army, so he thinks he is very bullish, and when he sees the unfavorable situation, he forcibly commands his troops to charge.

Xi Baotian saw Wang Kaihua attacking, thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and ordered to attack,

The Qing army of nearly 10,000 people, under the leadership of two famous generals, swooped down on the south of the city.

"Hmph, what's the big deal." Wang Kaihua had never suffered a loss, and he didn't believe in the power of the Huaxia Army at all, he also thought that this enemy was the remnants of the Taiping Army, and he had just arrived here from Jiangbei reinforcements.

Luo Yang smiled,

Cowering is a sign of weakness to the enemy, it is estimated that the defeated soldiers have spoken, and the arrogant generals of the Hunan army are not willing to believe it, or, they don't want to believe it at all, Luo Yang's release of those defeated soldiers is to inspire the enemy,

The more the defeated soldiers exaggerated the strength of the Huaxia Army, it is estimated that the more angry, dissatisfied, and dissatisfied the generals and officers and soldiers of the Hunan Army are, and they will even feel that the defeated soldiers are opening their mouths and making excuses for the defeat of their troops.

The Qing army rushed and quickly reached a distance of two hundred meters,

"One hundred and fifty meters."

"One hundred meters."

"Sixty meters."

"Thirty meters."

There was an officer shouting loudly, reminding the distance, it was a visual inspection, of course, not very accurate,

The more the enemy rushed, the more excited all the Huaxia troops became, and on the other side, the generals of the Qing army were already a little proud, and the troops of 10,000 people attacked the enemy of 1,000 people, which was a bit of disdain.
