Xu Guangjin and Fuzhu Hong Ah didn't expect that this Governor Yu was really a lucky man, and he actually showed his face again when he saw the battle for the first time in Jiangxi. Fuzhu Hong'a even regretted why he didn't go with others in the first place.

But what happened next was even more unimaginable. Xu Guangjin's plan to "levy" grain in the four townships has not yet been completed, and the "levy" grain teams that went out were beaten back one by one, and then Zhangzhou was surrounded on three sides.

Surrounding the three queyi, Shi Dakai left an east direction not to encircle, quietly waiting for the Manchu reinforcements from all over southern Jiangxi, and took this opportunity to temporarily rest the troops who had traveled a long distance.

Regardless of whether you are Que 1 or Que 2 or 3, as long as you meet a slightly more tenacious Manchu magistrate, the army in the city will not flee, which is almost the consistent tactics of the Qing army everywhere. Some are stubbornly waiting for help, some are just that guarding, and whether there is help or not is a guard.

Shi Dakai didn't wait for reinforcements to come to the rescue this time. It's not that Xu Guangjin and Fuzhu Honga didn't listen to the command, they did work hard, and sent urgent official documents to Yu Bingtao in Ji'an, even to the counties where there were only 1,800 local regimental training, but no one came. Yu Bingtao didn't come, because he had already discovered that there were people in the Celestial Army around Ji'an.

If you go to save Ganzhou, the first thing is that Ji'an will be lost to the long hair, not to mention, it will lead the long hair here to Ganzhou. When the time comes, everyone will be surrounded in Ganzhou together, and it will really become a pot of stew. Therefore, he decided to stick to Ji'an and contain the long hair in northern Jiangxi. In addition, he also has a plan, that is, Ganzhou will not be lost in a short time, first consume a consumption, consume until the veterans of the long-haired division besieging Ganzhou are tired, and then aim at the opportunity to give long-haired a fatal blow. The top priority at the moment is to encourage Ji'an Zhixian to expand regimental training, strengthen the strength of regimental training, and at least be able to protect itself, just like when he guarded Huaide, so that the army under his control will become a living chess piece and can move at any time.

As for the other small counties, rescue is simply a matter of agreement with death. I have saved Nanchang and Fuzhou before, as long as I leave the nest, I will never be able to come back. They were frightened and chilled by the siege and reinforcements.

The plan to besiege the city and send reinforcements fell through, which did not affect Shi Dakai's interest in the slightest. War has always been a game of command art and psychology between the military leaders of the two sides. Since Yu Bingtao is unwilling to leave Ji'an, his fantasy of leaving in the future will be in vain. A few days later, Zhang Suimou went to Fuzhou and temporarily assisted Hu Yihuang in commanding the field army in Jiangxi, and Ji'an was besieged. At the same time, the main force of the former army, which was originally preparing for the reinforcement mission, also turned around and joined the encirclement of the east of Ganzhou, and as night fell, the trenches were quickly dug to the root of the city. Since you don't come to the reinforcements, then I'll really fight. Shi Dakai was unwilling to spend a long time under the city of Ganzhou, and the grain and grass carried by the army were limited, and he could not afford to spend it for a long time.

Fuzhu Hong'a at the head of Ganzhou City, seeing the earthworm-like trenches outside the city approaching little by little, it was like countless nooses strangled towards his neck, he could only command the lifeless bombardment of the cannon on the head of the city, and the effect was not much, which he himself knew, but what else could he do? Let's fight, if you don't fight, just staring at it with such big eyes, it won't take long for the army's spirit to disperse.

I expected that it would be good not to fight, but this fight, the opponent's cannon also spoke. As the raindrops of shells whistled up, the sound of explosions, and the shrapnel flying in all directions covered the city at once, completely suppressing the might of the Qing army's artillery fire. The artillery fire of the Qing army gradually died out, and it was strange to say, if you don't fight, your opponents won't fight either. As a result, the gunners on both sides seem to have formed a tacit understanding, and the gunners in the city are even smarter, so let's stop and don't make trouble for ourselves.

Shi Dakai came to the east of the city, due to the rugged road from southern Hunan to southern Jiangnan, many heavy artillery of various armies were far behind, and the artillery that the whole army could concentrate had been concentrated here. Although there are only 100 guns, this is enough, because he still has a lot of grenades that are called hand cannons by the Qing soldiers, and the soldiers of the Heavenly Army like to call them grenades, which make the Qing soldiers lose fear when they see them.

Shi Dakai left the artillery position, came to the front, and when he saw Liu Xihe, the commander of the Third Division of the First Army, and Lu Guojin, the commander of the Digging Division, who were directing the troops to step up the digging of trenches, he smiled, "How about it, can you launch a general attack when you are in charge?" ”

Lu Guojin also smiled, "Your Highness, we are used to digging tunnels, and digging this kind of thing is simply child's play." When we don't have a lot of money, we can send the cannon to within a hundred and ten paces of the city wall. ”

Liu Xihe calculated carefully, "Your Highness, we don't have much certainty. According to the maximum effectiveness of our firearms, and the avoidance of unnecessary losses in the attack, it is best to dig trenches within three to fifty paces of the city walls. In this way, in addition to the artillery fire from behind, the grenades in our hands can be thrown into the city as soon as they protrude from the trenches. In this way, it is better to delay the attack for an hour. As long as the time comes, I will take the city. ”

Little guy, it's really so arrogant. Shi Dakai raised his binoculars and looked at the soldiers who were stepping up the excavation in front of him, and nodded, "Okay, according to your plan, postpone the general attack time by one hour." However, let's talk about the ugly things in front, and we won't be able to break the city when the time comes, so I'm going to ask you. ”

"Don't worry, Your Highness, as long as I am alive, I must be standing in Zhangzhou City." Liu Xihe looked at the Wing King with a grin.

"Hehe, I'm sure you will definitely meet me in Zhangzhou City." Shi Dakai patted Liu Xihe on the shoulder, and he suddenly thought of the old man Liu he met on the bank of the Yangtze River, "Xihe, have you been back to your home in Changsha?" ”

Liu Xihe subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the far west, and grinned, "No, after receiving the rebel army in southern Xiangnan, we have been fighting around Hengzhou, then reorganized, and then ......."

"What a pity!" Shi Dakai looked at the young general who was still a doll with appreciation, "However, I met your father." ”

"Really?" Liu Xihe's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "How is my father?" ”

"Yes, of course." Shi Dakai smiled and told Liu Xihe about the coincidence, "Daddy has a good body, and your mother is good, the family has land and a house." Daddy told you to rest assured, your mother said that she wanted to save some money and wait for you to go back to marry your daughter-in-law. ”

Lu Guojin laughed, "Yes, yes, we Xihe is so young and handsome, as long as we go back, it's strange that the matchmaker doesn't break the threshold." ”

Yoo Hee-ha's face flushed.

Looking at Liu Xihe in front of him, Shi Dakai suddenly felt dimly that this Liu Xihe seemed to be like a person, between his eyebrows and eyes, that shy moment, like whom? He couldn't remember for a moment.

Lin Haifeng is now standing in the north of Fuzhou City, opposite him, and what can be seen when he looks up is the strong city wall riding on the foot of Pingshan Mountain. Looking at the east, it is the Zhenhai Tower, the symbol of Fuzhou, which stands on the top of Pingshan Mountain, and the north gate of Fuzhou on the flat ground when looking at the west.

In the night, all the artillery fire of the artillery regiment of the 1st Red Army and the artillery battalion of the teaching brigade was concentrated here, and the troops that had arrived one after another in the front and rear and on the left and right had turned into infantry and were beginning to quietly enter their respective advance positions, nervously tying up all kinds of siege equipment. coincides with Shi Dakai, and the time he just set for the general attack on Fuzhou was midnight on this day.

Not far away, Liu Xianghe was busy enough. She had always wondered that His Royal Highness in Shanghai had specially incorporated a foreign band, and constantly asked for the expansion of this band with only a dozen people, and she had specially designated herself to supervise this work. According to His Royal Highness's intentions, the band she drummed has grown to more than 40 people, and there are all kinds of drums and horns. She knew that His Highness liked to listen to this, so she organized a training band to rehearse a few tunes, and wanted to change His Highness's mind in her spare time. But as soon as it was really done, His Royal Highness listened to it once, but he kept sending the band to various troops, saying what enriched the cultural and entertainment life of the soldiers. And what's even more strange is that this time I went south, I actually brought the band again, and officially named it the Art Troupe of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

Now, His Royal Highness even asked her to pull the art troupe here, saying that it would be used at the beginning of the battle. Liu Xianghe didn't say anything in her mouth, of course, she is the prince, so we can't say anything, but she is a hundred unconvinced in her heart. Everyone wants to fight with their lives, so what's the use of these tinkering instruments at this time? Look at these people, who used to sit in the city and go to the countryside temporarily, but now, after tossing all the way, as soon as they stopped, they staggered one by one, and she began to wonder if these people could still make a sound of a musical instrument again.

"I tell you, hurry up and rest, and in a moment Your Highness will tell the brethren to listen to the tune. Everyone has seen that the brothers of the Red Army are about to break through the city, and if anyone dares not to work hard at this time, they will be so loose and collapsed, I will kill people in a hurry! Liu Xianghe was eager, his eyebrows were upside down, his original smiling eyes became fierce, and he actually took out a six-wheel gun that he had never used, and danced at the head of the art troupe.
