Outside Nanjing, the new camp of the Hunan army, Zeng Guofan, with a solemn face, with a cold murderous aura, was looking at the queue of soldiers outside the tent gate, thoughtfully, the camp that was set up in a hurry, there was a cool breeze blowing, and the flag horns were boringly elegant,

"Lord Qincha, all the units of our Hunan army have arrived at the designated position, please show me." Two officers galloped from outside, jumped off their horses, and there were many sweat marks on their faces.

"It's so good, I'm going to set up a big camp first, and then attack, oh, Bao Chao and Bao Chunting are here." Zeng Guofan glared at the fierce gaze and glanced at the officer, who was a little hairy by him,

"My lord, Admiral Bao has gone to attack the city."

"Presumptuous, go and summon him back at once, stop the siege, and wait for the army to concentrate before attacking." Zeng Guofan shouted anxiously,

"Yes."

When the officer went, several clerks and strategists in the tent were all stunned, and only one young man stood up: "Lord Ministry, is the matter negotiable?" ”

"Huifu, what do you have to say?" Zeng Guofan changed his face and asked,

The young man known as Huifu is thin but in good spirits, especially a pair of eyes, blazing and bright, he is Zhao Liewen, a famous official who was quite one of Zeng Guofan's later years.

Zhao Liewen said: "My lord, in fact, with General Bao's wisdom and bravery, he can completely test the reality of the enemy's army. ”

Zeng Guofan thought for a while and nodded: "That's right, it's just that the situation is different this time, the enemy army is rampant, far from being comparable to the past, any slight carelessness, the whole army may be frustrated, Lao Jiu's life and death are unknown, and the rest of the generals are all people who can fight habitually. ”

Zhao Liewen nodded again and again and said yes,

After a while, all the generals came to the Chinese army to discuss the matter, and the Hunan army was full of talents, and the generals were like clouds.

"Chincha-sama."

All the generals are cautious, lest they have offended Zeng Guofan's heart disease, the defeated soldiers of the Hunan army have fled in all directions, and the news of the defeat has spread all over the world, they already know how passive they are, but they don't know who the enemy is, how strong he is, and the situation told by the defeated soldiers, they are all unbelievable,

The situation is briefly recounted, and a few defeated soldiers tell it, and those generals who were wounded and fled here also tell what they have seen and heard.

There was silence in the barracks, even the most arrogant generals, they all closed their mouths, what the soldiers said, everyone may not believe it, but what about the generals, such as Yang Yuebin, that will not be believed, people are the rank of admiral, in fact, they have been designated as the governor of Shaanxi, but Shaanxi has changed dramatically, and he has no chance.

"It's not that the bandit is so powerful, it's not that the ministry knows, it's just that why the long hair wasn't like this in the first place." Zeng Guofan asked,

"My lord, the last general will listen to people, they call themselves Huaxia Tian**, as if they are the rebel Shi Dakai's subordinates."

"Shi Dakai." Zeng Guofan's eyelids jumped suddenly, that guy was forced to commit suicide by diving twice,

The Qing army did not rashly attack the city, that is, the siege of Bao Chao's troops, it was also a bluff, the Qing army began to look for opportunities to understand Huaxia Tian **, the focus was to observe the movement on the city,

The Qing army of 70,000 and the gathering of famous generals, especially the arrival of Bao Chao's troops, the main force of the main force, and the arrival of Zongguo Domain, the soul of the Hunan army, all made this battle have the greatest suspense.

Luo Yang can't help but worry, the Chinese army of 10,000 people, trapped in Nanjing, in case of a breakthrough, the city wall is lost, the Qing army will flock to it, things are difficult to predict,

However, at this time, a fierce battle broke out on the Yangtze River, and the sound of artillery continued.

When Zeng Guofan heard this, he was very worried, and immediately sent someone to check, and the Huaxia Heaven in the city was also looking forward to it.

It is indeed the troops of the Huaxia Army, which are attacking the Qing army, and it is a big battle between armed fleets,

No one can clearly detect the specific situation, that is, the attacked Qing army Yangtze River water division Peng Yulin, all feel inexplicable, first frustrated on the Jiangyin River, and then, the landing battle losses are not small, and then, the enemy took dozens of ships, at dawn, from the north of Nanjing City slightly upstream of the area, suddenly attacked, flying the Qing army flag of the fleet, still aroused suspicion, the enemy army with the wind and the river, with intensive artillery fire, bombarded the Qing army naval division casualties, helpless, Peng Yulin such a general, will not give up the landing of the battleship on its own,

Many Qing warships were blown to pieces on the surface of the Yangtze River, or burned and caught fire.

In this way, the Qing Army's naval division was defeated three times, disappeared automatically, and became part of the army.

The sudden change in the military situation on the Yangtze River made the Hunan army begin to panic, and the Yangtze River Naval Division, in recent years, has been powerful, far from being comparable to the Taiping Army, and was suddenly defeated, which had a powerful shock to the spirit of every officer and soldier.

In the Zeng Guofan military camp, Peng Yulin reported the process of the battle, and exaggerated how fierce the enemy's artillery fire was, which suddenly shrouded the faces of every Hunan army general.

"Then, let's strike ahead." Zhao Liewen proposed: "The enemy's armed forces are strong, compared to the British and French Zhuyi, our army is fighting in all directions, and it is bound to be unable to win, if the enemy army in Jiangbei crosses the river to reinforce, then our army will be attacked by the enemy inside and outside the city, and the situation is even more critical. ”

Although Zhao Liewen is young, he is a trusted advisor of Zeng Guoman, and his special words have also won the resonance of all the generals, and everyone shouted together, shouting for the siege of the city.

"That's good, defend the riverbank with one officer and soldier, and the rest of the troops will work together to attack Jiangning." Zeng Guofan's eyes burst with a stunning light, as if that disabled eye also has infinite power,

"Okay, the last general will respect the order of the minister." All the generals stood up together,

The decisive battle of the city of Nanjing, which began with an attack by the Jiangbei Huaxia Army, which was eager to reinforce Jiangnan, began quickly.

More than 60,000 Qing troops, surrounded on all sides, attacked together, and all kinds of weapons they carried, foreign guns and foreign artillery, all greeted the city of Nanjing, in local areas, the Qing army formed a key attack, under the cover of foreign artillery and foreign guns, infantry and so on swarmed up,

This is a decisive battle, because of the narrow and narrow defense of the city circumference, the Chinese army of 10,000 people, set up a defense group in multiple sections, and the Qing army is struggling hard, naturally, there are many places, very weak,

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Luo Yang also made the worst plan, and decided that once the city was breached, he would concentrate his troops in the fortress in the city, with the palace city of the Heavenly King as the core, and continue to resist, and at the same time ordered that once the situation was unfavorable, he would behead Zeng Guoquan and other prisoners of war first, so as to avoid future troubles.

The cannons rumbled, the guns and bullets were flurry,

The Hunan army did a desperate battle, so it was very brave and crazy, and it really went forward and followed, and regarded death as home.

In many places, the corpses of the Hunan army under the city are piled up,
