Chapter 408: The sunset of the long river, dying of old age

At the end of the first lunar month, the Battle of Fuzhou between Qin and Chu officially began.

The Qin army first landed in Xinghua, relied on Neiying, and lightly captured Putian, the capital city of Xinghua, and then took Xianyou County non-stop, blocking the retreat of Wang Debang's troops and Fu Xianzong's troops stationed in Yongchun Prefecture.

Wang Debang and Fu Xianzong had a bad year, and first suffered a defeat in Quanzhou, but Zuo Zongtang did not transfer the two of them down to rest, but asked them to continue to resist in Yongchun Prefecture.

Fujian's Chu army, in addition to the main force shrunk to Fuzhou City and outside, also scattered two troops, one in Yanping Mansion, the other is Wang Debang and Fu Xianzong.

Yongchun Prefecture City, looking at the dense figure of the Qin army on the other side of Taoshui, Wang Debang pressed back into his abdomen in one breath, only feeling that he wanted to cry without tears. His current situation can only be described as desperate, it is really that there is no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth.

Dehua in the west of Taoshui has been taken by the Qin army, the direction of Quanzhou in the south is the main force of the Qin army, the Xinghua Mansion in the east has been captured by the Qin army, and the north of Yongchun Prefecture is a continuous mountain range.

There was only a lonely Yongchun State left, wrapped in the middle of the thieves, standing still.

To be honest, it was beyond his expectation that this Yongchun State could be defended for so long. Years ago, after the Qin army sent troops to capture Dehua, he felt that Yongchun would not be guaranteed. If Qin Jun really continued to fight Yongchun, he would have run back to Fuzhou a long time ago. However, the Qin army stayed in Yongchun Prefecture and did not even send troops to surround Yongchun Prefecture.

And now as soon as he made a move, he swallowed all the Xinghua Mansion and cut off Wang Debang's official road back to Fuzhou. And the general who appeared in Quanzhou to command the Qin army was not the so-called famous general of the Qin army like Xiang Fa, but the big boss of the entire Qin army, and the first general of the former dynasty, Liu Xian Liu Dawang, recognized by the whole country!

'King Qin, no! Liu thief is powerful, turbulent like a tide, and the next sign asks the military door to plan for the long term! ‘

Several battalion officers in the Dingbian Army came together to advise Wang Debang, the strength of the opposite side is not too much, but the combat effectiveness of the Qin army is not measurable in number!

Looking at the Qin army since its inception, which major battle has it lost?

It's completely a situation of sweeping all the way, no matter how many people on the other side there are, and how many people you have.

Therefore, it is absolutely undesirable to fight to the death with the Qin army in Yongchun Prefecture. The officers of the Dingbian Army hope that Wang Debang can lead everyone to walk the mountain road, even if the latter is difficult to walk, but it is a way to live, isn't it?

As long as there is more food, there is no shortage of water in the mountains, and all the guns and cannons are lost, people can go back alive.

'I hope there is a way to live......,' thought several battalion officers anxiously.

'Military Gate, Taoshui terrain is dangerous, and Yongchun Prefecture is well defended. We should hold on to help! As long as Zuo Gong sent troops to defeat the rebels in Xinghua......

It was Li Rende of Yongchun Zhizhou who spoke. As a governor, it is the responsibility to defend the territory, Wang Debang and Fu Xianzong can pat their butts and slip away, but he can't.

Wang Debang's face was expressionless, and he turned his head to look at Li Rende, "Master Li, how much has your state regiment mobilized by the brave people?" How much money has been raised? ‘

If you can't see the silver, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty have absolutely no morale, and the same is true for the Chu army.

Wang Debang asked Li Rende to find a way to raise a silver salary as early as a year ago, and Zuo Zongtang also sent 200,000 silver dollars, after all, Wang Debang and Fu Xianzong suffered hardship.

But now? The back road has been cut off, the Chu army is encircled, and there is no real silver, and the soldiers of the Chu army cannot raise the spirit to defend their homes and the country. In addition, when the Qing army defended the city, it generally mobilized Minzhuang to be cannon fodder, and Wang Debang had already asked Li Rende to recruit Minzhuang. But......

'Wang Junmen! Most of the people in this Yongchun City fled as early as a few years ago, who do you ask the official to ask to raise salaries, and who will be the people's strongest? ‘

The huge city of Yongchun Prefecture now has a total of less than 20,000 people. If Li Rende really wants to find Ding Zhuang, it will not be difficult to pull out one or two thousand, but the difficult thing is how to raise money. I can't find a single one in the big city of Yongchun!

There is no money and no people, this battle is still a fart! But if you don't fight, can you go?

'Where can I go?' Cornered! ‘

The remaining three or four thousand people of the Dingbian army were scattered into the mountains to the north, and I don't know how many people they could recover, and the team was scattered, and the backbone was broken. Within a year's rest, recruits were recruited, and the Dingbian Army was abolished.

Wang Debang didn't want to see this scene, even if he died, he didn't want to see the Dingbian Army end up like this.

He shook his head at Fu Xianzong, "It seems that we can only repay Jun's kindness with death!" ‘

Fu Xianzong's mouth tightened, and his face was cold. Compared with Wang Debang, Fu Xianzong, who has a stronger temper, would rather die than lose so much.

'Military Gate. Let's take a long-term view! Several battalion officers persuaded again.

The two Chu army bigwigs are willing to repay Jun's kindness with death, and there are also strong personalities among the battalion officers below, but there are also those who are greedy for life and afraid of death. Fortunately, the Qin army has not yet launched a formal attack. In other words, the knife can be seen, but it hasn't been chopped off according to your own head!

Xu Rong returned to his residence in Yongchun, and several of his henchmen and officers were waiting for him at home. Seeing Xu Rong coming back, a swarm rushed forward. How did Xu Rong not know the thoughts of this group of subordinates, and stomped his feet, "The two military lords want to repay the country with death." What else do I have to say? ‘

Several officers with the titles of Du Si and General looked at each other, and one of the oldest staff generals stepped forward and bowed to Xu Rong and said, "My lord, we might as well ...... It's better to belong to the King of Qin! ‘

This battalion is the capital that adults have saved from more than ten years of fighting on the battlefield. Scattered into the mountains, not to mention how many people can come out alive under the pursuit of the Qin army, the team must be finished.

It's a pity that these seven or eight hundred brothers have been folded in vain. If you can serve King Qin, this is the capital. ‘

'Yes, the Great Qin soldiers are incomparable, like the rising sun in the east, and the future of the coming day is limitless. The Qing Dynasty is dying, like the sunset of a long river. Let's ...... one step sooner'

"Tens of thousands of people in Guangdong and Guangxi have voted for Daqin, we might as well ......" Xu Rong, who was only thinking about the north, had weed-like thoughts in his heart.

……

Liu Xian of Quanzhou is marking small dots in the mountains in the north of Yongchun Prefecture. He's going to close the door. This north road was also sealed by Wang Debang and Fu Xianzong, so this piece of meat completely fell into the bowl.

"Fight Yongchun to be ruthless and powerful. A blow made all the Chu troops feel the power they couldn't resist, like Mount Tai pressing on the top, as unstoppable. In this way, they can completely dispel the stubborn thoughts in their hearts.

They fled, and the troops began to disperse. If we cast our nets to catch fish, the casualties will be much smaller! ”

Liu Xian set the final fate for Wang Debang and Fu Xianzong.

For this reason, the reconnaissance brigade formed on the basis of the Sharp Knife Team was drawn out of three squadrons and thrown into the mountains of Lianyun in the north of Yongchun Prefecture.

In February, the Qin army's offensive on Yongchun began. At the head of the platoon was more than 50 guns, plus more than 100 mortars and improvised unconscionable artillery, in just two hours, the Qin army swept away all the fortifications outside the city of Yongchunzhou.

Fortunately, Fu Xianzong in the city had already prepared, on the one hand, he sent troops to receive Wang Debang into the city, and on the other hand, he prepared a large amount of earth, sand and rocks, and directly sealed the south gate and west gate of Yongchun.

But Chu Jun's heart and liver were broken. The Chu army, which was already demoralized, had no will to fight at all, and the battalion officers at the head of the two battalions directly sent people to contact the Qin army.

Yongchun Prefecture is full of panic and panic.

The next day, artillery shelling rang out throughout the city. The Chu army, which had lost all its artillery, was helpless and retreated in the city and was beaten by cannons. At 11 o'clock in the morning, the Qin army launched the first wave of attack, and the Chu army at the head of the two battalions in the city took the opportunity to 'rebel', without much effort, without much sacrifice, and not long after, Yongchun Prefecture City was replaced with a red flag!

Zhizhou Li Rende did not die after all. He cut his braids, burned his robes and horse coats and Manchu official robes, and put on the black clothes of the Qin army's civilian bureaucratic system. There is no MI station in this place, and there is no low-level tripolar intelligence station.

In front of the mountain in the north of Yongchun City. Wang Debang and Fu Xianzong, who were in disarray, looked at the south fiercely, as if their eyes could see the Yongchun Prefecture City where the red flag was flying.

"Xu Rong and Han Guangjun of the dog day, Lao Tzu fought for half his life, and he didn't die in the hands of others, but he almost fell into the hands of these two turtle grandsons themselves."

The hatred in Fu Xianzong's chest can be compared to Zhong Kui. What the fuck is this? The subordinates turned against him, and all his calculations were ruined!

Fu Xianzong originally planned to die in Yongchun. Let the world take a look at the hard bones of the Chu army. But it would be foolish to insist on this situation today.

Wang Debang has fought a battle all his life, and he has lost not once or twice, his nerves have long been honed to be extremely tenacious, no matter how sinister the battle situation is, he can always make his decision. And once they have made a decision, they will move forward, doing everything in their power to achieve their tactical intentions, defeat the enemy, or slip away...... You know, hesitation on the battlefield is a taboo for generals, and the commander doesn't have firm confidence, can he still expect his army to be firm?

This is also where Wang Debang is stronger than Fu Xianzong. Fu Xianzong is too strong, too emotional, and as soon as his temperament comes up, it is common for him to charge into battle in person. That is, in recent years, domestic guns have been updated too quickly, and the powerful performance is not something that the human body can resist, so Fu Xianzong has only converged one or two.

Therefore, for the two anti-water people, although they are both the battalion leaders of the Dingbian Army, Fu Xianzong hates them to the bone, and he is better than Wang Debang.

"Let's go, Kunting. This revenge is in my heart, and I will avenge it in the future! ”

found that someone was anti-water, Wang Debang immediately led people to find Fu Xianzong, and the two of them went out of the city and went north with their own barracks. Many of the Chu soldiers behind them made substitutes for the two of them, buying them time to take the lead.

Thousands of people enter the rugged mountain trails. Wang Debang and Fu Xianzong only had one intention to go forward. Half an hour later, some people began to fall behind in the team, and some people began to desert. The latter belong to people who have completely lost their faith, and in their opinion, it is better to surrender directly than to go to the mountain road without knowing whether to die or live in the end.

Wang Debang and Fu Xianzong didn't care. If you are willing to follow, you will go, and if you are unwilling and do not force you to stay.

The sun slowly sets over the western mountains. It's late evening...... R1152
