The roaring explosion reverberated in Liu Xian's ears, and the shell fell less than 100 meters away from him, but Liu Xian didn't care at all and didn't move at all.

Looking at the battlefield ahead, the battle in Fuqing has reached a critical moment. Xu Wenxiu can't stand it!

'Your Majesty, after this army has passed Fuqing, it will be able to go straight to the horse's tail. Harbour Master ...... Sailor'

The harbour master told them to stay at the docks. ‘

Liu Xian thought that now was not the time to subdue the master of the ship, and it was a condition to take Fuzhou City first. Moreover, the Ship Master and Sailor is one of the most Westernized armies in China today, and will never harm himself.

The offensive and defensive battle of Fuqing lasted for two days, and Xu Wenxiu's 5,000 Chu troops only had 2,000 wolves left to flee to the edge of the Min River, and then were picked up by the warships of the shipmaster and sailor division to the north bank of the river.

At this time, even the county town of Jiang also planted the banner of the Qin army, fully retracted the Chu army in Fuzhou, and let the Qin army of Yanping Mansion take this large mansion in Fujian Province by Shun Lì.

Zuo Zongtang was very angry, very angry. What does it mean to put Nogi Noshinori in prison, and he will take it out himself soon? Liu Xian taunted him in Hongguoguo, telling him that Lao Tzu would enter Fuzhou City in two days.

Early this morning, the good mood after getting the good news that Liu Xian sent Fu Xianzong to Fuzhou City was completely disturbed by this letter.

'Liu Xian'er, bullying the old man is too much! ‘

has debuted for more than 20 years, and no one has ever dared to speak to Zuo Manzi with this tone of treating people as nothing. Zuo Zongtang is really angry!

A group of generals of the Chu army below persuaded the old leaders not to be angry and scolded Liu Xian for being arrogant. But even when they were talking and talking, they could silently feel that their own people's confidence in speaking was much weaker than a while ago.

Fuzhou is not an easy place to defend and difficult to attack. And weapons have developed to such an extent that many of the so-called dangerous places in traditional warfare have become meaningless in the face of artillery rifles. This Chu army relied on Fuzhou City to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army, and there was really nothing to say about the terrain.

The defeat of Yongchun, the defeat of Fuqing, the defeat of Lianjiang......

A series of defeats in battles dealt a great blow to the morale of the Chu army. The confidence of the generals also became very worried.

……

The next day, the Qin army occupied Changle County, which the Chu army had abandoned. Liu Xian took a boat in Xianqi and led 5,000 Qin army marines to cross the sea in batches, passing through Langqi Island to Lianjiang County on the other side of the Minjiang River estuary.

"Has the weakness of the Chu army's defense been probed?"

"Then how many troops and artillery are there in the Chu army's defense line?"

"Don't you know how many Chu troops there are on the front line?"

Arriving at the front headquarters of the army, Liu Xian's inquiries were sent out again and again. The answers he received were few that satisfied him. Then, naturally, Liu Xian asked for all the details of the military situation that had been trying to attack in the previous days.

The Qin army on this side arrived only two days earlier than Liu Xian, and the first tentative attack launched at dawn yesterday has carried out a total of five waves of attacks so far, of which the first four rounds were feints, and a real attack was launched this morning, which damaged half of the squadron's strength and retreated.

On a rough military sandbox.

Liu Xian put down the military intelligence record, looked at the sand table carefully, and time passed little by little.

The voice of the command quickly changed from lively to silent. No one is blind and knows that Liu Xian is thinking about the war. Disturbing King Qin's thoughts by making a loud noise, is it uncomfortable?

For half an hour, Liu Xian clasped his hands to his chest and stood in front of the sand table for half an hour.

Then the tone of the order was categorical: "Here, here, here......" and a large-scale attack in three directions came at once. Throw in four brigades.

The total number of Qin troops on the north bank of the Min River was less than 10,000. Putting in four brigades at once, it is definitely a large scale.

No one in the command questioned Liu's decision.

The order quickly turned into action, and then in just twenty minutes, Liu Xian got the news that the attack was successful and the Chu army's first-line positions had been broken through. In less than an hour after that, the 4,000 Chu troops on the front line were completely defeated.

The Qin army cheered like thunder. Liu Xian was extremely successful in blowing up his 'forced style' in everyone's hearts.

But in fact, it is very simple, that is, relying on the golden finger, the three weakest points of the Chu army's position are lightly demarcated as a breakthrough for the attack. It's just that the three-way troops can deliver good news in just twenty minutes, but it is also unexpected by Liu Xian.

Zuo Zongtang in Fuzhou City was also stunned. He was expecting his army to give Liu Xian, who came to the position, a blow to the head. As a result, his subordinates dropped the chain first.

The defensive line that was still impregnable yesterday, and the position that was still impregnable in the morning, why has Liu Xian become a sparse tofu scum?

After He Zuolin was defeated and fled to the second-line position, and after assisting the main general Liu Songshan to stabilize the battle line, he immediately handed over the command in his hands to Liu Songshan, and returned to Fuzhou City with a few personal soldiers to ask Zuo Zongtang for his guilt.

Zuo Zongtang was so angry that he almost cut him. The generals of the Chu army pleaded for mercy one after another, and then ordered He Zuolin to be pulled outside and beaten with twenty military sticks to get angry.

"Here, here......" two breakthroughs.

At night, in the headquarters of the Qin army, Liu Xian was giving combat orders to his generals.

"Act fast, act quickly. Thunder! ”

"At this point, the artillery unit should pay attention to cooperation and provide all-out firepower assistance."

"You'll meet here, and then hit the north flank—"

The baton slammed on the sand table. Liu Xian's expression continued to be full of confidence.

At night, the front line of the Chu army was arranged with bigger and more holes. If it weren't for the proximity of the southern end of these two lines of defense to the Min River, the Chu army would have been supported there by the small gunboats of the Jiangshang Ship Administration and Naval Division. In tonight's battle, the two assault forces will not converge and sweep northward together, but will each go all out in the north and south directions.

Zuo Zongtang didn't sleep well at night. The sound of gunfire on the front line made his heart rise to his throat, even though there was still no wind on his face. The general's bearing is very deep.

But this could not help the Chu army on the front line at all, and the weak point was suddenly attacked, and the Chu army in that section was not even as good as the friendly troops on the first line of defense during the day. As soon as he felt that the enemy's strength was unstoppable, he panicked and retreated.

The two attacking troops effortlessly penetrated the second line of defense that the Chu army had worked so hard to build for many days. After the round, it went all the way to the north, and the Chu army in the rout of the whole army was unable to parry at all. With the same move, Liu Xian captured the second line of Chu defense outside the city of Fuzhou.

Time, but it took less than a day!

There were no defensive positions in large depth, and only two or three trenches were formed on a single front, and the infantry could run from beginning to end with a single assault. When such a defensive position faced the Qin army, it was simply unbearable.

Just like in the original time and space Anti-Japanese War, in the face of the Japanese army, the small Japanese army deducted weapons and equipment and personal qualities, but with those few familiar moves, it was often able to win one victory after another.

Liu Xian also broke the face with points. After the Chu army's position was lost on the flank, the soldiers did not have enough time to panic, and they were defeated by the Chu army's assault force, which quickly fell down. After the position was broken through, many officers of the Chu army did not lead their troops to fight to the death with the enemy troops attacking from the flank, but often took the initiative to retreat!

Liu Xian sneered.

Although Fuzhou City is large, but if one line of defense is defeated like this, how many times can the Chu army retreat? Behind the third line of defense is the city wall of Fuzhou City.

Ten hours ago, kneeling in front of Zuo Zongtang was He Zuolin, and now it is Liu Songshan and Liu Jintang's uncle and nephew. Compared with He Zuolin, who is still dressed completely, the uncle and nephew of the Liu family, who is gray-headed and dirty, dressed in gunpowder, and has blood marks on the back of his face, nose and hands, has a more wolfish image.

But Zuo Zongtang no longer has the anger he had ten hours ago. What was in his heart at this moment was a chill, worry, apprehension, and a faint fear that Liu Xian had never felt before.

The heavy generals below Zuo Zongtang of the Chu army all brought the credit for the two lines of defense being broken to Liu Xian. Otherwise, it would not be possible to explain the difference in the effectiveness of the Qin army in the two days before and after. And it is precisely because of this that everyone's hearts are filled with an irresistible powerlessness and decadence.

"Get up." Zuo Zongtang called Liu Songshan and Liu Jintang's uncle and nephew, "Liu Yuandu is worthy of his name as a famous general, and it is not your uncle and nephew's fault." "But you have to think of something to resist it.

Zuo Zongtang's eyes swept over the faces of everyone in the hall.

No confidence, really no confidence.

Your own people know your own business. Liu Songshan's ability is definitely one of the best in the Chu army, but he was also defeated so quickly, is there any general under him who is stronger than Liu Songshan?

No, Zuo Zongtang can't think of it.

"Here, here, here, this piece, this piece—"

Late at night, the city of Fuzhou was brightly lit, and the headquarters of the Qin army was as bright as day.

Liu Xian had just praised the assault troops, and then he had a good hand at the commander of the artillery unit, Roy Alexander. Lowaisky] gave such an order.

In the five places of the third line of defense of the Chu army, all artillery fire was concentrated and bombarded.

As the offensive of the Qin infantry progressed, the artillery also advanced a mile. The balloon shot by the school in the day had already determined the position line of the third line of defense of the Chu army, and the sand table in front of Liu Xian compared the battlefield, and the real performance was as high as ninety.

Liu Xian was able to settle on the third line of defense of the Chu army, and Roy dared to guarantee that the shells would be sent there.

Amid the roaring cannonball, the soldiers of the Chu army who were concentrating their forces on alert for a possible follow-up attack by the Qin army were torn apart in the flames of shrapnel, and blood spilled the ground.

Roy's artillery fired rapidly for more than ten minutes, and the Chu army had to cross out at least a thousand people from the total number of soldiers participating in the battle.

The news naturally spread to Fuzhou quickly, and Zuo Zongtang just wanted to vomit blood.

In addition, Bai Bao, the deputy commander of Fuzhou, and Yang Longbiao, the chief general of the Chu army in the third line of defense, were both wounded, and Yang Longbiao's head was cut by shrapnel, and he was bleeding like a blood gourd.

Of course, there is also the third line of defense, after a bombardment, the soldiers of the Chu army who suffered heavy losses were like frightened birds, and the guns of the Qin army's assault troops were fired, and the defenders of the third line of positions that gathered the remnants of the first two lines of defense, and the Chu army of more than 5,000 fled towards Fuzhou City.

If it weren't for the cover of the cannon at the head of the city, the assaulting Qin soldiers would have been able to wipe out the Chu army outside the city if they continued to pursue! R1152
