There was another loud bang, and another gate was blown open. This explosion shook the city and desperately resisted the Heavenly Army, but they couldn't figure out what these bags sent by the Bai Army Death Squad were used for, Yang Yucheng and the others were in a coma, as if in a dream.

In the explosion, the assault team rushed into Jianchun Gate with a shout against the scattered bricks and rubble. The first division of the former Fifth Army, under the command of Deputy Army Marshal Yang Yiqing, successfully broke through the city.

At the east gate, with the remnants of the flames, the reorganized assault force of Yoo Hee River also rushed into the city gate.

If it is said that before the city was breached, the Qing officers and soldiers defending the city struggled desperately to survive, when the Jianchun Gate and the East Gate were broken through one after another, they scattered and fled, hid in Tibet, or surrendered on the spot, it was another way to survive.

This is no longer the era with the title of "Loyal House", except for some scoundrels and Manchu hardcore traitors who know how to die, there are few people who are really willing to live and die with Ganzhou.

Ganzhou, which was once surrounded by water on three sides, surrounded by mountains everywhere, and was definitely a good place for defense, only at this time did it truly reflect the horror of a living coffin. In the city of Ganzhou, the door of every house is closed. The dispersed Qing army did not want to surrender, at this time, the city could not get out, and there was nowhere to hide, so it could only be like a headless fly, scurrying from east to west, and finally being compressed and eliminated by the heavenly army that gradually surrounded it on all sides.

After Yang Yucheng soberly saw the reality that the iron-beaten Ganzhou was broken in such an instant, he fell down from the tall city wall and committed suicide by jumping into the city.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, and there was no way to recover, Fuzhu Honga abandoned the army and fled back to his governor's mansion alone. He came to the south with Su Shun from the capital, and unlike other officials, he also brought his own concubine with him. There is no way, people in their thirties, married a few wives, and they can't get a son, and the concubine is pregnant, which is his hope. Not now, the city is broken, he knows that there is no hope of survival, of course, the young and beautiful concubine who is like a top child must not be left to those traitors, as for what son is not a son, it is already a distant dream. After gritting his teeth and forcing the crying concubine to hang the beam with white silk, Fuzhu Hong'a killed himself with a horizontal knife at the feet of the concubine on the hanging beam. It's strange to say, I don't know if he relented in the end, or if God didn't allow him to die so lightly, his throat was cut, but it didn't break. The black blood was gushing out, and Fu Zhu Hong'a, who still had half a breath left, finally stared at his eyes and ate the fierce stabs of the Heavenly Army soldiers who poured into his Admiral's Mansion.

As soon as he heard the news that the East Gate was broken by the Taiping Army, the defenders of Nancheng were scattered, and Xu Guangjin also joined the ranks of fleeing after cutting down several routs in a row. First, I ran a few steps in the direction of Xijin Gate, but it didn't feel right, and then I turned around and ran north. He ran to the north city wall in one go, and the relatives who followed him ran away early, perhaps dropping his weapon halfway and volunteering to be a prisoner of the Taiping army. The direct shock made people's hands and feet numb, and the trembling shouts of killing were accompanied by the bright torches that illuminated Ganzhou closer and closer. There is no way out.

Xu Guangjin slashed the waist knife in his hand that was stained red by the blood of his own soldiers on his neck twice, and then sighed, he looked at the river outside the city, and the Zhangjiang River and Gongshui converged into the Ganjiang River in front of him, surging north. Maybe he really wanted to turn into a light leaf at this time, float outside the city, float into the Ganjiang River, and float north again freely. There is the capital in the north, and there is his emperor in the capital, but the almighty saint can't save his life.

"Holy Lord, it's not that the minister is incompetent!" Xu Guangjin let out a crying voice, threw the waist knife out of the city, and then looked at the dark city with the probe of the battlement, and finally turned back and collapsed on the ground. He never forgot his emperor, but he didn't even have the courage to commit suicide and martyrdom. However, sooner or later, he will die.

When the sun in winter dispersed the smoke and spread light and warmth to the earth, Ganzhou calmed down.

In Fuzhou, 20,000 Red Army soldiers suffered 2,000 casualties while annihilating 50,000 Qing soldiers. In Ganzhou, for today's peace, the Heavenly Army annihilated the Qing army in the city with 60,000 to 20,000, and paid the price of nearly 5,000 casualties. The loss of 5,000 may not be a high absolute number for a 60,000 Celestial Army, however, for the main attack divisions participating in the battle on the front line, it is a huge number. It means that the average casualties of the three main attack divisions in the east, west and south are all in one-third. Of course, this is just an average.

Shi Da drove into Ganzhou, and after receiving the final casualty statistics report of the various troops, he sighed for a while. As soon as the Heavenly Army arrived, in just a few days, no less than 20,000 people from neighboring counties and townships enthusiastically joined the Heavenly Army, but this could not alleviate his sadness about suffering such a loss. After all, these 5,000 brothers are soldiers of a hundred battles, and they are his elite! Should we have taken Ji'an first, but should have besieged it for a long time? If it weren't for the grenades in the hands of the brothers, coupled with the powerful explosive pack, would Ganzhou have been able to take it down so smoothly?

(Historically, in 1855, Shi Xuankai led his troops from Hubei to attack Jiangxi.) In February of the following year, it advanced to Ganzhou. Ganshou Yang Yucheng hurriedly gathered troops and generals, added the Eight Realms Artillery City, and held the city. On 25 March, the peasants in the vicinity of Nanshashi, Stairling, Nankangtankou, Huangxili, Caisanshan and Fengshan revolted in response. On April 28, Shoushan and Nanxiong Zhizhou, the commanders of the Qing army, led troops to reinforce Ganzhou. On the 29th, the Taiping army marched into Ganzhou City by two routes, east and west, and camped along the river. On 3 May, the Taiping army failed in its first siege, killing and wounding more than 400 people. On the 22nd, he divided his troops with the rebels of the Heaven and Earth Society, attacked the city from the east gate and the south gate at the same time, and lost again, killing and wounding more than 1,000 people. On 17 June, the Taiping army camp stationed on the west bank of the Ganjiang River was attacked by the Qing army, causing another 1,000 casualties. The Taiping army saw that the siege of Ganzhou City was not strong for more than a month, so they withdrew from Ganzhou. ）

“…… Ganzhou, is the Ganzhou of my Han Dynasty, in the late Ming Dynasty, in order to expel the Manchurians, the Han officials, the squires, and the people of Li in Ganzhou, regardless of men and women, old and young, grinding the lance to resist the Manchurians, although they are not afraid of death, they won the beauty of my Han 'loyal house' for Ganzhou. God bless the soldiers of our heavenly army today, the people of the four towns are brave, Ganzhou can be returned to the control of our Han Dynasty, and the gentry and people of the whole city can now settle down. Whoever respects the decrees of the Celestial Empire, those who have no grain have their food, those who have no land have their land, and those who have grievances can express their grievances......"

At the same time that Shi Da opened the list of Anmin and renovated the city, Yang Fuqing's five armies had already sent troops north of Ganzhou to capture Xingguo, Ningdu and other places. After a short period of consolidation, the first army took Ruijin and Huichang, and passed through the east of Ganzhou. In addition to one part of the four armies to defend Ganzhou, the main force pacified the southwest of Ganzhou.

Occupy one place, digest one place. Ji'an, according to Shi Dakai's deployment, was surrounded by the three main forces and a large number of peasant regiments, and it is estimated that in less than half a month or 20 days, Ji'an will become a bag, and Jiangxi will also be completely returned to the Celestial Empire. If Lin Haifeng was also Shun Lì there, the two major field armies of the Celestial Empire and the east and west would join forces, and most of the south of the Yangtze River would also be connected. If we concentrate our forces on quickly taking over the two provinces, then the situation of truly separating the north and the south will be completely and completely formed.

The three armies sent out by Ganzhou, in the face of the Manchu Qing Prefecture, which had lost its unified and coordinated command and fought separately, could be described as imposing and invincible, and good news was frequently reported.

Just when Shi Dakai received a letter from Lin Haifeng in Longyan, Fujian, and was comfortably thinking about when to leave for Ruijin and meet Lin Haifeng, who would arrive soon, another unexpected thing happened.
