Under the sudden blow of the dense guns, firearms, and bows and arrows, the soldiers of the Heavenly Army who followed Shi Fengbao were soon left. Shi Fengbao had already fallen off his horse, he had been hit by several arrows, and his face was bleeding, obviously from a gun. The remaining dozens of wounded guards and soldiers who followed him hurriedly set him up and used their bodies to cover him and retreat into the city gate.
The Qing army in ambush in the city moved the wooden fence and pounced on it with shouts. On the horse road inside and outside the city gate, a large number of Qing soldiers also poured out like a tide, killing the heavenly army that was caught off guard and was in chaos.
The doorway of the inner city gate was crowded with panicked soldiers of the Heavenly Army who were hiding in, and the other blows made these soldiers who were once brave and good at fighting lose their minds for a while, lost their reaction to resist, and their faces showed a kind of human instinctive horror.
I don't know if it was the blood that covered the eyes, or which eye was injured, Shi Fengbao's eyes only felt vague, but he still saw the Qing Demon rushing towards him by instinct. "Brothers, the eldest husband would rather die before the battle, he can't sit still and wait for death, let alone let a demon pass." He pushed away the guards who were supporting him, and snatched the spear from the hand of a soldier, "Follow me, resist the Qing Demon, and buy time for the brothers in the back to withdraw!" ”
Shi Fengbao rubbed his eyes fiercely, and with blood sticking all over his body, he staggered towards the Qing soldiers who were swarming on the opposite side. "Poof", the spear in his hand pierced into the lower abdomen of a Qing soldier, "Rabbit cub, look at grandpa!" With this lion-like roar, the strength of his whole body screamed to his two hands, and with a stroke of the spear, the Qing soldiers flew out. Immediately after, the sharp spear rushed straight towards the second and third Qing soldiers......
This is a kind of supernormal energy that can only burst out at the last moment of a person's life. Shi Fengbao and his brothers used their last ferocity and tenacity to play the strongest note of their lives. At the same time as stabbing the fifth Qing soldier, behind the dense Qing army, another row of bullets came in. Shi Fengbao fell, and many soldiers of the Heavenly Army who followed him also fell, and they were accompanied by the Qing soldiers who rushed to the front.
This is one method that Yu Bingtao can only take. He concentrated more than 300 guns and muskets, and he had to fight as much time as he needed to get out of the city, and he didn't have time to think too much about whether he would hurt his men.
Shi Fengbao completed the qiē he was able to complete. It's a pity that Shi Fengkui in the back was not able to retreat according to his expectations. As soon as he entered the urn city, in the first gunshot, Shi Fengkui was unfortunately killed. Just for the glory of the illusory, he buried the lives of thousands of outstanding soldiers of the Heavenly Army, his tiger-like brothers, and himself. However, the tragedy he single-handedly created is far from over.
While the ambush soldiers of the Qing army were strangling the heavenly army that entered the city, the artillery fire on the head of the city bombarded the rear of the heavenly army, disrupting the ranks of the heavenly army. Taking advantage of the chaos, the Qing army highlighted the city gates.
Shi Fengkui's artillery team arranged outside the city had already made two preparations, one was to support the infantry in front of him with artillery fire in the event of an accident. The second is to bring artillery into the city and engage in the battle behind. The current emergency situation made them unable to use that kind of preparation, and they could only watch the artillery fire of the Qing army go unpunished. The main general has been ambushed by the enemy, and there are still his own brothers in the city, so this cannon cannot be fired at all.
However, the artillery fire of the Qing army in the city did not care about this, and kept roaring. The Qing army's front team in the prominent city had been entangled with the follow-up troops of the Celestial Army who were trying to stabilize their position, and the artillery of the Qing army was not mistaken, and the soldiers on both sides were each injured under this fierce artillery fire. On the surface, the Qing army does not seem to be a good deal, but in fact, it is not. As the Qing army trapped in the isolated city, the grain and grass were already unsustainable, and everyone knew in their hearts that the officers and soldiers had only eaten their first full meal in several days before the breakthrough. Only by killing out of the city can there be a way to live, and if they are blocked back, there is only death, so they are red-eyed and crazy. This almost suicidal method of warfare made it difficult for the Celestial Army to stabilize the front, coupled with the loss of unified command, as more and more Qing troops poured out of the city, the various units of the Celestial Army finally became completely chaotic.
With the Celestial Army, which was fighting and retreating, Yu Bingtao followed the passage that Shi Fengkui had invisibly left for them and broke through the defense line in the western part of the Celestial Army. His former army, which was still borrowed from Ganzhou and led by Benwu, the king of Gannan Province, only had more than 3,000 troops after several battles and replenishment. Before breaking through, the military order he gave to Wang Benwu was to be the front team of the whole army, kill all the way to the west, take advantage of the emptiness of the enemy's rear, and recover Yong'an to replenish food and ammunition. However, as soon as he tore through the defense line of the Heavenly Army, he led his Guangdong soldiers to slip to the northwest. Zhou Yuheng, who was following him out, also began to turn his head south according to his instructions stupidly. In the city, Chen Zongyuan, the prefect who was responsible for staying in Ji'an, and Wang Baoyong, the general judge, also re-blocked the west gate according to the predetermined deployment, on the one hand, and on the other hand, they made a posture of breaking through the east gate to attract and distract the attention of the heavenly army.
Yu Bingtao calculated carefully enough. It's a pity that Ji'antong, who pretended to break through from the east gate, sentenced Wang Baoyong to be really inferior, he didn't expect that behind the peasant army blocking him, the brightly lit and still lined up heavenly army camps were basically empty. Otherwise, he wouldn't have flagged a shot anyway and then retracted obediently.
The peasant army at the east gate killed the Qing army that had feinted to attack, and put on a posture of directly attacking the city, and Wang Baoyong, who was frightened, was worried all night long, and did not dare to make trouble again. Sitting outside the east gate, sweating profusely, Hu Yihuang, who kept coughing, was a foot high. However, the rumbling of artillery from the west made him unable to relax.
Is Yu Bingtao breaking through just to find a way out? Not really. Don't look at him swearing to Zhou Yuheng and others and his subordinates that Ganzhou will never fall, but he didn't think so about it in his heart at all. As soon as he passed from Ganzhou, he knew that as long as there were those two nests in Ganzhou, he would not defend them. He even thought of Guangdong. Lord Qincha Su Shun is also digging his own grave, and after all, it is not much better than the end of Ganzhou. It was precisely when he saw this that he was unwilling to die in the ghost place of Ji'an.
Ji'an is different from Huaide at the beginning, he encountered the opponent's lone division under Huaide City, but his own side has a steady stream of reinforcements from all over the place. People's hearts are also different, and the rich gentry and commoners of Huaide can stand behind him once they are called upon and deceived. Jiangxi is not good, the common people spread the benefits of long hair everywhere and regard them as saviors.
Now, his only purpose in killing out of the city is to vent, to frantically take revenge on the long-haired and rebel bandit who cornered him. Of course, this state of mind cannot be said to his subordinates, otherwise, no one will do it with him, because the path he chooses is completely a path of suicide.
Head north, where is the big rear of the long hair, the most dangerous place, but the safest. The main force of Long Hair is concentrated on the Ji'an front, and there will be no more strong journeys behind, you can find the gap of Long Hair, and kill all the way to Jiangbei, only in this way can you survive. This is the bread he has drawn for his subordinates to satisfy their hunger.
As soon as Zeng Tianhe beat Shi Fengkui, the main general, left, a heart hung in his throat. He constantly sent out scouts to keep an eye on the movements in the west. With the rumbling cannon of Ximen, Zeng Tianhe couldn't sit still anymore. He arranged the defense to the south of Luling, and hurriedly rushed to the west of the city with a brigade.
Far away, outside the west gate, the flags that used to be flying flags, the vast heavenly army company camp soaring into the sky, the earth-shattering sound of killing is endless, and the Qing army protruding from the city is rushing to the southwest like a tide. On the side of the Celestial Army, some troops continued to entangle with the Qing army, and some simply collapsed.
Zeng Tianhe quickly ordered the troops to turn around and go south, insert themselves in front of the Qing troops fleeing south, and look for favorable terrain to block their retreat, while at the same time briefly understanding what was happening on the battlefield. Subsequently, he hurriedly restored the command system, re-blocked the West Gate, and assigned troops to pursue the Qing army, which had successfully broken through.
However, it is better not to mention the pursuit, when it comes to pursuit, even Zeng Tianhe himself has a big brain, and there are traces of the Qing army fleeing on three sides: northwest, west, and southwest. He had no choice but to concentrate his forces on chasing in the west and southwest directions, and at the same time flew to Lin Qirong's department in the north of the city to ask for support.
Lin Qirong, the guard general who originally guarded Anqing, is now the commander of the former Eleventh Army. With the development of the war situation and the stability along the Yangtze River, Jiujiang and Anqing have gradually become the rear bases of the Celestial Army, and the commander of the Celestial Naval Division, Luo Xuan, presided over the defense of the two places and the development of the Yangtze River Naval Division. The military headquarters of the 11th Army was located in Anfu, and his task was not only to besiege the city, but also to be responsible for the support of logistics channels from Nanchang and Yichun. Due to the meticulous blockade of Ji'an by the Celestial Army, there has been no fighting on the front line, but he always likes to go around the siege headquarters set up in front every day, especially at night. He is a very careful person, like this kind of long siege, after a long time, the soldiers will inevitably have a relaxed mentality, which is absolutely unacceptable. He understands that the key to the prevention of accidents that may occur lies in the generals themselves.
This may be the will of God, Yu Bingtao was lucky to meet a Shi Fengkui, and he had the opportunity to go crazy, but in the end he was unlucky in Lin Qirong's hands.
