Chapter 342: The Qing Army Gathers
Xi Baotian fled quickly, and exchanged the price of more than thirty personal soldiers for his own escape, but after escaping five or six miles, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more he thought about it, and the more he committed suicide with a knife, before he died, he shouted at Changtian: "Why is this." ”
After Wang Kaihua committed suicide, the soldiers of the department wept bitterly, and were divided into two parts, one with more than 100 people, and the reverse Huaxia army tore them apart, and finally they were annihilated, and the other fled, retaining a little seed.
The Huaxia army quickly cleaned up the battlefield, counted its own results, and also collected a large number of Qing army weapons, whether they were knives, guns, guns, or artillery, and took them away.
That's it, it's still too late,
Other troops of the Qing army, hearing the sound of artillery in the south of the city, immediately rushed over, this time, it was Xiao Deyang's troops who were the closest to him, eight battalions in the headquarters, reinforced by five battalions, three thousand people,
As soon as the Qing army came, Lao Yuan was discovered by the Huaxia army, especially the female soldiers on the city wall, whose eyes were the sharpest, and immediately issued an alarm to the city.
Luo Yang knew that the consumption of weapons was extremely large, especially the grenades of the infantry, and they were not necessarily the opponents of the enemy.
Immediately more than 800 people came in the city, and then a thousand more reinforcements, all with enough grenades and the like.
Isn't this a blatant bully, hehe,
Xiao Deyang's army swooped down on the Huaxia army, and as a result, as soon as it approached, it encountered the fate of Xi Baotian and Wang Kaihua's army, as a result, these more than 3,000 people were quickly eaten, Xiao Deyang himself was injured, stunned by the explosives bag, and was captured.
The victorious Huaxia army of nearly 3,000 people immediately carried out a series of counterattacks in a clockwise direction, cleaning up all the Qing troops who were around the edge of Nanjing and refused to go like flies, and first attacked Wang Debang's troops, and defeated several battalions of Wang's army.
Several battalions of Liu Changyou rushed to hear the news, but as a result, they ran into the muzzle of the gun, and were beaten hard by the Huaxia Army, knocking out more than half of them.
In the east of the city, three battalions of the Hunan army were still digging trenches in line, wanting to continue the siege tactics, but as a result, the Huaxia Army arrived outside the city, cooperated with the city army, and attacked the two phases, and almost wiped out the Hunan army.
The remaining two battalions of the Hunan army were defeated again, and so far, more than 25,000 Qing reinforcements besieging Nanjing City were annihilated.
According to post-war statistics, in this battle, the Qing army was killed more than 13,000 people, 10,000 people were wounded and captured, and only more than 1,000 people were able to escape the fate of destruction.
In addition to consuming a large amount of gunpowder, the Huaxia army lost 149 people, 231 wounded, a total of 400 people, and the loss was close to one battalion.
After the victory, the Huaxia army cleaned up the battlefield,
Li Xiucheng was helped out by someone, saw the victory scene with his own eyes, and was so excited that he burst into tears: "King Rui, your army is really invincible, the Hunan army is so strong, in front of your army, you really can't even parry." ”
Luo Yang smiled: "King Zhong's words are serious, in fact, weapons and equipment like ours, no matter who commands them, can be won." ”
"No, I don't know how difficult it is, Xiucheng's admiration for King Rui can no longer be expressed in words, and he can only express to King Rui that if Xiucheng is injured and gets on the horse and runs, he will be the pawn of King Rui."
"You and I will work together."
Luo Yang did not have many soldiers, so he could only defend the city and fight, taking Zeng Guoquan and others as hostages, as bait, continuing to fish for law enforcement, and also making a big splash, arresting who and who, and deliberately letting go of a lot of Hunan troops, many Huaxia military customs were very angry, as soon as Luo Yang said, they understood: "We have to release people, let them find people themselves, it is not more cost-effective than we work hard to find it." ”
It's really cost-effective, no, within three days, the various units of the Hunan army swimming around came to rescue their captured Lao Jiushuai, so they also began a bloody battle with the Luoyang army.
Yang Yuebin's army, 8,000 people, twelve battalions, including two horse battalions, an artillery battalion, a foreign gun battalion, the force is very small, as a result, and the Huaxia army fought under the city wall, because the firepower is comparable, the Huaxia army guarded the city wall, condescendingly shooting, the Qing army's foreign artillery destroyed many, especially the artillery, heavy casualties, the Qing army was eager to break the city, was bombarded by explosives bags, more than 1,000 casualties, and so on to consume about the same, the Huaxia army out of the city to fight, a little contact, the use of flying thunder artillery bombardment, Yang Yuebin broke a leg on the spot, and the Hunan army fought to the death and rescued him, but the army collapsed, and the troops in the rear were all annihilated.
The Yang army was defeated and left, more than 8,000 people, after fierce fighting, 6,000 people were annihilated, and their vitality was greatly damaged.
The Chinese army suffered more than 300 casualties,
Three hours after the battle, the Hunan army came ashore from the Yangtze River and, in coordination with the flotilla on the river, carried out artillery bombardment on Nanjing.
Isn't this looking for death, the Huaxia army immediately returned fire in an all-round way, with heroic fighting, sufficient firepower, the enemy was defeated, under the city of Nanjing, by the river, the Qing army discarded more than 1,800 corpses, sent more than 500 prisoners of war,
Later, the interrogation of the prisoners of war only learned that this enemy was the troops of General Peng Yulin of the Yangtze River Naval Division, because the Luoyang army crossed the river and defeated several of his fleets on the river in the Jiangyin area, and also captured several modern steam warships, which made him angry to death, and immediately gathered the navy to fight, but unfortunately, the Luoyang army had already left, so the Hunan army sailors turned east and west on the Yangtze River, and they were so angry that they didn't know what to do.
Peng's army is tough, reflecting the consistent style of the Hunan army, but unfortunately, in the face of an enemy with much better weapons and ammunition, the tougher you are, the faster you die, and the old Peng is smart, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately retreated.
Although the station is victorious, the consumption of the Huaxia army is also extremely huge, so they dare not chase easily, they can only hold on to the city, fortunately, the former has captured the gunpowder and foreign guns of the Zeng Guoquan army, etc., and later in a series of battles, a lot of gunpowder was captured, so it can basically meet the requirements.
Seven days later, the Qing army gradually gathered under the city, and this time the number of troops was unprecedented.
The Qing army was very captured, perhaps because there were too many failures, and finally figured out the rules and tactics, at the beginning, there was no trace, and suddenly, they all gathered,
After dawn, the Huaxia army was surprised to find that there were Hunan troops everywhere outside the city.
Luo Yang observed in the city and judged that there were more than 20,000 enemy troops in the west of the city alone.
Li Xiucheng was invited to serve as a staff officer, he looked at the banner of the Qing army, and was shocked: "This is Zeng Guofan." ”
"Zeng Guofan." Luo Yang is overjoyed, if Zeng Guofan can be wiped out in one fell swoop, the highest commander of the Hunan army, the most durable Qing demon head will be destroyed, what else will the Manchu Qing Dynasty do?
"Bao Chao is here, Jiang Zhongji is here, Jiang Yixuan is here, Liu Kun is here, Li Xuyuan is here, Xiao Qijiang is here, Peng Yutang is here, Shen Baozhen is here, ah, almost all the generals of the Hunan army have arrived, look at this, Zeng Guofan is going to fight with us here."
