Chapter 346: Dading Jiangnan
The wind swept away the clouds, Dong Fuxiang's vanguard brigade broke through the north gate of the city, and also eliminated more than 400 Qing troops, and after a short wait, another infantry regiment arrived, so more than 5,000 people, straight to the back of the Qing army,
The remnants of the defeated Qing army were gathered, and new troops were added, especially Bao Chao's troops.
As a first-class general, Bao Chao is the main force of the Hunan army, with the largest number of troops, more than 10,000 people, nearly 20,000, this army, a hundred battles and victories, so that all the Taiping army generals heard the color change,
Because of the successive setbacks, Bao Chao was so angry that his face turned pale, since it is not easy to attack the palace city, then, the field battle is always good, he is still confident,
"Let's go, immediately follow the general to destroy this rampant bandits." Bao Chao shouted,
The main force of the Qing army was trapped under the palace city, bored, as soon as he heard about it, he immediately refreshed his spirits, and quickly dispatched more than 10,000 people to counterattack the Dong Division.
On this day, the Qing army Bao Chao and the Huaxia army Dong Fuxiang division fought fiercely in the kilometer-long street inside the north gate of the city.
The Qing army attacked bravely, forgetting life and death, just like the kamikaze troops of the East, while the troops of the Huaxia army used advanced weapons to strike the enemy to the greatest extent.
The narrow streets are the places where the two sides infiltrate and fight, and the wide streets are the slopes of the dense forces and firepower of the two armies.
After 30 minutes of fierce fighting, the Qing army was defeated, with countless casualties and rivers of blood.
Nearly 8,000 Qing troops were slaughtered by the Dong Division of the Huaxia Army, and even General Bao himself was hunted by the shrapnel of the flying thunder cannon, suffered from it, and was seriously injured and carried away.
Dong Division's regiment pursued closely and did not give the Qing army a chance, and at this time, another infantry regiment crossed the river and arrived and intervened in the battle.
Hearing the sound of artillery and grenade explosions, Luo Yang stood on the high place of Miyagi, looked at the north of the city, and decisively ordered an attack.
The female soldiers guarded the palace city, and the Luoyang Division of the 5,000 Huaxia Army attacked in an all-round way, pushing the cannons, advancing forward step by step, and the Qing army resisted, but they were all blown to pieces, and blood flowed like a river.
The Qing army was defeated, turned around and fled,
Zeng Guofan finally woke up and was being treated, when he saw this situation, he breathed out and fainted again.
From the palace city to the north city, the Huaxia army attacked on two roads, and the Qing army suffered countless casualties, so it had to scatter to other places, from the east gate, west gate, south gate and other places of the city, scattered to break through and escape.
Run, where do you want to run, you can run if you say run,
Luo Yang Division and Dong Fuxiang Division bit the buttocks of the Qing army tightly, and the beating was called a pleasure, and a large number of Qing soldiers were killed, wounded and captured because they could not escape.
The Qing army had no choice but to flee out of the city, and fled to the west in large numbers, and hundreds of cavalry of the Huaxia army rose up to chase after them, chased them for more than 20 miles, slashed and killed thousands of people, and captured more than 2,000 people, before they returned satisfied.
The Battle of Nanjing, which ended with the glorious victory of the Huaxia Army,
In the final battle, the Qing army concentrated nearly 70,000 elite main forces, but was defeated by the two divisions of the Huaxia Army with less than 20,000 people, and suffered heavy casualties.
In the end, according to the results of the clean-up inside and outside the city of Nanjing, it was found that at least 28,000 Qing troops were killed, and 24,000 Qing troops were wounded and captured.
Of the more than 52,000 people, there were only more than 10,000 left in the Qing army.
In this battle, it can be said that the main force of the Hunan army gathered on the ground in Nanjing was defeated and expelled, and the Qing army basically had no military presence except for a few partial divisions swimming in the south.
The two armies met, ecstatic, victorious, rejoicing,
The follow-up troops of Dong Fuxiang's division quickly crossed the river, so that the troops of the Huaxia Army in Nanjing reached more than 17,000 people.
In the city of Nanjing, Luo Yang sent officers and soldiers from various departments to march to the south with brigades as units, to clean up the remnants of the wandering invading army, to contact and recruit the Taiping troops scattered everywhere, and those female soldiers and civilians of the Taiping army acted as guides.
In seven days, the Huaxia Army advanced rapidly in the area south of the Yangtze River, swept away the local power of the Qing Army, destroyed it, searched for the remnants of the Taiping Army, and organized it, and achieved satisfactory results.
The prestige of the battle of Nanjing City quickly spread throughout the north and south of the river, as far as Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other places, and the Taiping army everywhere was panicked because of the fall of Tianjing, like a lost dog.
For a week, the generals of the Taiping Army who had joined the Huaxia Army were, Li Shixian, the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, an extremely outstanding general in the later period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and Li Xiucheng's cousin.
Chen Kunshu, the general who guarded Changzhou, in history, in April of this year, defeated the Qing army, but in May, he was defeated by the Huai army and the collusion of foreign guns, and the city was executed.
Huang Wenjin, the king of Zhao, led the remnants of the army back,
Generals Zhu Yidian, Tong Hairong, Chen Xing, Chen Bingwen, Huang Jinai, Deng Guangming, Zhu Xinglong, Wang Haiyang, Li Yuanmao, Lu Shunde, Ji Qingyuan, Li Mingcheng and other more than a dozen generals, each with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, have returned to Nanjing.
Among these generals, some are very well qualified, some are rising stars, and some of them, in history, because of defeat and wavering will, they all surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and even became the enemy's eagle dogs, but, because of the Luoyang Army, they all stayed in the revolutionary camp.
In fact, surrendering in a desperate situation is an understandable act,
These generals, at most, led 20,000 troops, and combined, the total number reached 100,000.
This is a huge number, and the reason why so many troops have failed to defeat the enemy is because of the huge gap in weapons, which has led to wavering will, and they cannot compete with the Hunan army.
Of course, this is a huge military resource and political wealth, Luo Yang happily accepted it,
For all the names of the princes of the Taiping Army, Luo Yang no longer calls them, and no longer cares, anyway, the names of those princes are too many and too messy, and in the process of regularizing the army, it is easy to cause confusion, so he actually abolished those royal names, and no one dares to oppose it, to object, thinking that Luo Yang's prestige has been greatly compared to the sky.
A giant who saved the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, who dares to compete with it,
Everyone is desperate and pessimistic, and suddenly gets such a powerful rescue, who is not grateful to Dade, the grace of saving lives, and sending charcoal in the snow,
All the generals of the Taiping Army came to see Luo Yang, one by one, respectful and revered like a god.
"Long live King Rui." I don't know who shouted out first,
"Long live King Rui."
We all know that King Rui is the supreme commander of Huaxia Tian**, and we all know that the King of Heaven has passed away, that little King of Heaven is at a loss, the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, this Nanjing is all from the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, can we still not be interesting,
All the former Taiping Heavenly Kingdom generals spoke in unison,
Luo Yang was a little surprised, but he was very comfortable to listen to, "The generals have worked hard, in the future, they will be my brothers of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, and we will share weal and woe and destroy the Manchu demons together." ”
