Chapter 345: Master Dong came to help

The battle of Nanjing, with the battle of Miyagi was the most fierce and exciting, Luo Yang retreated decisively, and the move of shrinking his troops was at the beginning, for many Chinese officers and soldiers did not understand, and some even scolded his mother, even Li Xiucheng secretly wondered, but the facts once again proved the correctness of this kind of sanity and calmness,

Zeng Guofan's decisiveness and the Qing army's common hatred of the enemy made this attack reach the first level, and tens of thousands of Qing troops charged frantically, filling the ravines outside the palace walls almost instantly.

The Huaxia army fought back heroically, using powerful weapons to cut down groups of Qing troops in front of the position.

More than 100 flying thunder cannons threw a large number of explosives into the ranks of the Qing army, and every landing point was a huge blood vortex, blowing countless Qing troops to pieces and flying all over the sky.

The firing range of more than 250 meters is completely sufficient, and this battle also fully demonstrates the power of the flying thunder cannon.

The Qing army suffered a terrible massacre,

Gusts of wind howled, terrible sharp screams, one after another, and huge burdens fell from the sky,

The Qing army began to rush very violently, but this huge bag of explosives blew them up.

"Oh my God, that's amazing." Li Xiucheng stood by Luo Yang's side, covered his mouth, and his subconscious movements made people feel a lot of emotion.

Can a tried and tested warrior be so fearful, can the power be small?

The victor is still so, the loser,

Zeng Guofan looked at his younger brother who was captured on the palace wall, and then looked at the slaughtered soldiers of the Hunan army, knowing that not only could he not win today, but it was difficult to protect himself. ”

He was so angry that he fainted,

In one round of bombardment, three or four thousand Qing troops were reimbursed,

The former ant colony was cut off, the Qing army was crawling in a pool of blood, and the strugglers, crying and shouting, were outrageous,

No, the Qing army that was killed by the bombardment contained flying thunder cannons, grenades, canister explosive packets, etc., and more than 2,000 were injured, this is the data calculated after the war.

In fact, when the Qing army attacked the outer city, it had already lost 16,700 people, and in this round of fighting west, the Qing army troops had already lost more than one-third of the strength, and less than 40,000 people besieged the Huaxia army's more than 8,000 people.

These 8,000 people, including 2,000 female soldiers, fought bloody battles repeatedly, and the Huaxia army had the advantage of weapons and ammunition, and in the face of the elite of the Qing army, there were also nearly 3,000 losses, which refers to the total losses of several major battles rushed from Shanghai to Nanjing.

The damage of the Qing army, if you include the number of previous battles, the total losses before and after, thousands in Zeng Guoquan City, and more than 6,000 Liu Songshan and Liu Jintang, and the rest of the Qing army that have returned to Nanjing one after another, there are more than 60,000.

Twenty to one, this is the results of the battle under the determination of the level of weapons and equipment, so the factor that determines the war, under normal circumstances, is the weapon,

The Qing army was defeated, retreated back to its positions, demoralized and unable to support,

At this time, it's morning, Luo Yang saw that the Qing army was not attacking, wasn't his troops unable to slaughter the enemy, hehe, there was a way,

grabbed Lian Jie and Zhu Hongzhang, hung them up, stripped their clothes and pants, and beat them hard with bamboo boards.

This practice is against Luo Yang's principles, but, all for victory, the Qing army is so barbaric, you have always been good to him, you are cheap,

This trick really worked, and the Qing army was sensible and temperamental, fighting and shouting on the other hand, "Hahahaha, it's so fun." ”

The Hunan army has never played any barbaric tricks, but once such a small trick is added to them, they can't stand it.

Some soldiers are even more mischievous, and they talk nonsense about those red words, black words, and vernacular, anyway, they insult the incompetence and shamelessness of the Qing army.

Luo Yang is still measured, for Zeng Guoquan, although he hates his shameless and cruel, but he pities his talent, and he also respects Liu Songshan and Liu Jintang, who are famous generals in history, so he chose two pawns to enjoy himself.

The Qing army was enraged, attacked again, and, as a result, was slaughtered again,

This time, the Qing army was much more cautious and did not have many troops, but more than 2,000 people were blown up again.

Soon, the Qing army changed its tactics, sent a small number of troops, and scattered the attack, but unfortunately, these people became the live targets of the foreign gun team, and they were beaten into a sieve one by one.

The Qing army couldn't, so they had to hold on,

"Don't be afraid, when it gets dark, we attack at night, and the bandits can't see us clearly, so we can attack in one go." Zeng Guofan encouraged the soldiers and said,

Bao Chao and other generals, all veterans of a hundred battles, also repeatedly patrolled, comforted the officers and soldiers, so that the glandular officers and soldiers were able to stabilize, they dug the ravine, and decided to trap the Tianwang Palace to death,

This is wishful thinking, because, the timing is not right,

At noon, suddenly at the edge of the Yangtze River, there were bursts of thunderous cannons, and then, the Qing army's naval division and river beach defense line all collapsed.

The Huaxia Army defeated the enemy's naval division, sent army troops, and began to cross the river, as soon as it reached the edge of the riverbank, it was first bombarded with artillery, because all wooden boats and small boats were used at that time, so they could quickly approach the river bank, even those larger ships loaded with flying thunder cannons, and they really didn't sink much, so they could shoot at close range.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the Chinese officers and soldiers fired with superior foreign guns, and it was the landing of the infantry, and there were almost no obstacles.

The Qing army was completely suppressed and had to flee quickly, whoever did not run away was stupid, and who died in vain was willing to die,

The Qing army was defeated and left, and more than 1,200 people from an infantry regiment of the Huaxia Army had already formed a formation.

The Qing army dispatched more than 5,000 people from the city to attack the Huaxia army on the riverbank, and as a result, more than 5,000 people were beaten extremely miserably by a regiment of Huaxia army infantry.

Because the Huaxia Army that just opened is the vanguard of Dong Fuxiang's division, they are all very powerful characters, and besides, they have been resting happily in Jiangbei for many days, and the birds have faded out of their mouths, and their hands are itching.

Their weapons, naturally, are good, there are especially a lot of grenades or something, and the artillery on the ship has no immortality after defeating the enemy's sailors, and now, they are all placed on the river bank, can the Qing army stand it well,

The flesh-and-blood Hunan army can only be sacrificed at the cost of dead and wounded, and it is useless.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, an infantry brigade and an artillery regiment had already arrived at this side, and even the division commander Dong Fuxiang also rushed to Jiangnan, and received a notice to cross the river to the south, and heard that the city of Nanjing was besieged by the absolute superiority of the Qing army.

"Kill, kill." In this era, there is really no need for a sophisticated professional officer, so Dong Fuxiang's military order is qualified.

More than 4,000 Chinese troops quickly killed the city of Nanjing, defeated many Qing army blockades along the way, and successfully arrived at the north gate of the city.

The Qing army was stationed on the city wall and at the city gate, and wanted to block the road and block the reinforcements of the Huaxia army.

"Well, what kind of trick are you playing, even these few brushes dare to intercept the uncle's soldiers." Dong Fuxiang said angrily, "Boom to Lao Tzu." ”

An artillery regiment, more than 80 guns, including 20 foreign cannons and 60 flying thunder cannons, is not a joke.

The range of foreign artillery is long, just hit the city, isn't the flying thunder cannon close, just hit the city gate, as a result, the smoke of gunpowder is billowing, and the Qing army can't parry it at all.
