Chapter 507: Desperate Situation
Wei Changhui brought 3,000 soldiers and horses into the city from the Nanyuhuatai City Gate, and Qin Rigang led 10,000 troops into the city from Chaoyang Gate, unlike most people who think that Yang Xiuqing was killed by Wei Changhui, in fact, Yang Xiuqing died in the hands of Qin Rigang, and the most direct murderer of a series of massacres in Nanjing is also Qin Rigang, and Wei Changhui's role lies more in behind-the-scenes planning.
The current situation is exactly the same as the historical trend, Qin Rigang's troops are all concentrated near the Dongwangfu, and they will wipe out Yang Xiuqing's family as quickly as possible, and at the same time, they must also guard against the reinforcements of Yang Xiuqing's main force stationed in Emei Mountains.
Emei Ridge is not far from Hanxi Gate, in the area of Wutaishan Gymnasium in present-day Nanjing, and it will not take more than an hour to rush to receive the news.
"How is that possible? How did Yang Reverse the rest come so quickly? Could it be that the king of the north didn't intercept it? General Shi Fengkui couldn't help but exclaim.
Another general, Huang Zaixing, shook his head uncertainly: "The direction of Emei Ridge is led by the Northern King, how can the Northern King not know the importance of such a big event?" Moreover, although the strength of the North King is only 3,000, all of them have experienced a hundred battles and are fully equipped with guns, it is not easy for the rest of Yang to break through the blockade and come to the rescue. ”
"Huh?" Qin Rigang's brows furrowed, to be honest, the rest of Yang Xiuqing is here, he will not be afraid, the big deal is the last battle, not to mention that after so long, maybe Yang Xiuqing is dead, the boss is dead, and the people below still have a fighting spirit, but if it is Shi Dakai who comes, then he has to pay more attention.
Shi Dakai has many contradictions with him, and more importantly, Shi Dakai has always appeared with a neutral face, and no one can find out Shi Dakai's true position.
"All the troops are on alert. Wait until you see the person who is coming, and then listen to the king's order! Qin Rigang ordered in a deep voice. Scorching stared at the rear.
The heralds had just delivered the order, and many of the soldiers had not yet turned around. I heard a sudden dense muffled sound from the opposite side, and then a sharp sound of breaking the air sounded.
"Not good! Retreat into the Yang Mansion! Qin Rigang's face suddenly changed greatly, this is the unique sound of the cannonball breaking the air, and he can't care about his subordinates at the moment, so he will run away.
"Boom~~" The position is blooming everywhere, and the corpses are flying all over the sky, you must know that the Qin Rigang Station is densely packed. And the rate of fire of the mortar is so fast that it is impossible to dodge.
After a while, the shelling stopped, but the sound of powerful footsteps started, when Qin Rigang poked his head out from behind the half-section of the wall, his scalp suddenly went numb, and the wall of Yang's mansion as high as two zhang was blasted out of a gap about 100 zhang wide, and dead bodies were everywhere inside and outside the wall. There are many who are still missing arms and legs, all of them are his subordinates, just now, still living people. is happily guessing how much wealth Yang Xiuqing's mansion has, and coveting Yang Xiuqing's beautiful princess, but it is only a blink of an eye. Almost all of them died!
"His Royal Highness King Yan, it's the Democratic Alliance!" All of a sudden. Shi Fengkui showed a look of horror, and he couldn't even speak.
Unlike the Qing army and the Taiping army. The NLD army has its own set of tactical guiding ideology, and rarely launches a group charge, but is similar to the Western powers such as Britain and France, approaching at an almost constant speed with a neat pace!
Group charge, at the cost of a large number of soldiers' lives, to make the enemy nervous and frightened with overwhelming momentum, this is mainly due to the backward equipment, there is no way to fill it, can only be filled with human life, and the average speed is approaching, the slow approaching process, will make people bear huge psychological pressure, this is a principle with death, quick death suffers the least pain, slow death is the most torturous way to die, and even someone has a mental breakdown is not impossible!
Qin Rigang was also like being struck by lightning, his head rumbled loudly, and after a blank space, everything was understood, it turned out that the Democratic Alliance Army had already prepared, and was waiting for the civil strife in Tianjing to go down the mountain to pick peaches.
Although his status is not as good as that of the East King, the North King and the Wing King, but he can stand out from the old partners of the Jintian Uprising and rank as the King of Yan, Qin Rigang is obviously not a general, he immediately guessed that the Democratic Alliance Army has the intention of recruiting and surrendering the Taiping Army, because only when Tianjing is in civil strife, the people's hearts are lost, and the Taiping soldiers lose their backbone, they will defect to the Democratic Alliance, and the Taiping Army that previously threw themselves into the Democratic Alliance Army has special reasons and does not have a universal effect.
"Your Highness, how should this be!" Huang Zaixing also cried and shouted.
Qin Rigang was excited, and when he saw his subordinates, there were more than 3,000 people who originally blocked Yang Xiuqing's gate, and only more than 300 were alive, all of them were terrified, so they still ran fast and hid behind the sturdy wall of the East Wangfu in time!
Earlier, thousands of people of the Democratic League swept through Tianjing, and he inquired clearly, the key is that Li Xiucheng, who was stationed at the south gate of Yuhuatai, was deceived into opening the city gate, and it was the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Later, the Democratic Alliance defeated the British army, in his opinion, it is nothing, which is the British army, how much combat effectiveness can a group of black Indians have? And the Democratic League army was on the defensive and still lost so many people, and the final victory should be attributed to the inexplicable self-collapse of the Indians without a fight, and the combat effectiveness did not live up to the name!
But at this moment, Qin Rigang was afraid, the artillery of the Democratic Alliance Army was too fierce, he had never seen such sharp artillery fire in his life, he was completely sure that as long as the ammunition of the Democratic Alliance Army was enough, it would not take long to bomb the entire Dongwang Mansion into a piece of rubble!
What's more, the Democratic Alliance Army is a formed army, and most of his soldiers are still burning and looting in the palace, there is no way to organize an effective counterattack in a hurry, if you order a retreat, there will be a great possibility that it will evolve into a rout, and the soldiers will disperse, regardless of whether the Democratic Alliance Army blocks the gate of Nanjing City, even if he, the King of Yan, can escape, it is meaningless, because Wei Changhui will not talk to him about brotherhood, and useless people will be killed directly!
Qin Rigang couldn't help but shudder, in just a few minutes, he was already at the most dangerous juncture since the Jintian Uprising, even in Yong'an, only holding a spear and a big knife and fighting with Xiang Rongbu carrying artillery and artillery was not as dangerous as today, when the sky fell and the big man was on his head, and the consequences of the current qiē were borne by himself!
Not only him, but his subordinates also thought of this problem, Shi Fengkui hurriedly said: "Your Highness, in a few minutes, the Democratic Alliance army will come up, whether to fight or retreat, quickly get an idea." ”
Huang Zaixing was a little crying: "The artillery fire of the Democratic Alliance is fierce, and we have no time to prepare, how to fight?" Retreat is also a dead end, according to your subordinates, it is better to surrender, you have no grudge against him, you don't have to worry about your life, and Su Sanniang, General Lin and General Li have all surrendered to the Democratic Alliance, and have been entrusted with important tasks, in the identity of Your Royal Highness, although you have never met him, but forgive that Wang Feng will treat you well, otherwise who will dare to surrender him in the future?
