Chapter 26: The Battle of Nanchang (Ask for Collections and Recommendations)
Luo Zenan nodded with satisfaction, and when he saw Li Xubin coming to ask for instructions, he raised his whip and said, "Let's go!" ”
Lin Qirong saw that the new arrival in Xiangyong had already entered the ambush circle, and said to the herald: "Raise the flag and order the artillery to bombard." ”
"Boom"
"Boom"
"Boom"
……
The seven cannons that Lin Qirong brought from Jiujiang poured cannonballs into the countryside to the fullest.
Guo Songtao looked at the cannonballs falling from the sky in a daze, he was extremely afraid, he never expected the battlefield to be so cruel, the people who were good at the last moment are now torn apart, and the flesh and blood are blurred!
The Xiangyong team was instantly scattered, and many soldiers still knelt on the ground and prayed to the heavens not to rain down divine thunder!
Li Xubin also panicked, his heart was pounding, as if he could jump out of his throat in the next moment, forcibly suppressed the panic, and shouted: "Don't panic, don't panic, everyone!" Don't run around, stand still and avoid the cannons! ”
Guo Songtao shouted to Li Xubin in a panic: "Kehui quickly withdraw!" We've been ambushed! Nanchang City may be captured by anti-thieves, let's go back first! ”
Li Xubin heard that Nanchang was occupied by the rebels, and the six gods had no owner, so he decided that Guo Songtao was right, if the rebels did not capture Nanchang, how could they set up an ambush under the city? Thinking that he had reached the place of the short-haired heart by mistake, he did not dare to delay, and immediately commanded the battalions to retreat.
Lin Qirong smiled and laughed, "This villager really has no combat experience!" With only two cannon bombardments, they scattered and fled, and the order: the army attacked immediately, and the head of the thief must be captured alive. ”
……
Inside the city of Nanchang
Jiangxi's envoy Zhou Yuheng, the chief soldier Liu Kaitai and other officials of all sizes were cleaning up Jiang Zhongyuan's dust, although they disliked that 3,000 people were too few, and they did not dare to show this mood on their faces. For a while, the sound of sycophants resounded throughout the room.
"The governor is wise and decisive, and he can wipe out all the short hairs!"
"Adults take the lead and win every battle, so they can be a model for us!"
"As soon as I saw the momentum of the soldiers under the command of the adults, I knew that they could fight well, no wonder they could kill characters like Feng Yunshan, the king of the long-haired south, in Lingyidu."
"You know what! That's like in the play: taking the head of the general among the ten thousand armies is like probing the bag! This proves that the Governor is superior in martial arts! ”
Zhou Yuheng is a traditional civil official, and he has always looked down on this kind of young man who quickly rose to a high position because of his military exploits! However, the siege of the Han army in the past few days made him understand that this is a time of war, and he still has to rely on those generals who can fight to keep the black yarn hat!
Thinking of these, Zhou Yuheng was not far behind, "The governor can be civil and martial, and he will definitely be able to rank among the military aircraft in the future!" When the time comes, I hope that you will not forget our colleagues! ”
Jiang Zhongyuan became more and more annoyed the more he listened, he had already learned the bad habits of officialdom in Hunan, but he didn't expect Jiangxi to be as good as ever!
"In fact, the thief is not afraid of death, and often proud and complacent, carried away, if the officers and soldiers can be patient with the enemy, in fact, they can also win the battle, this is my experience in a hundred battles! Now that the situation has eroded to this point, the problem arises that the Green Battalion soldiers are not very useful, and they will only steal and play tricks and delay the fighters! In the future, I will rectify the Jiangxi Green Camp, treat Xiangyong equally, and hope that you will work together to share the emperor's worries! ”
Liu Kaitai was very embarrassed, and secretly scolded Jiang Zhongyuan for not knowing what to do, standing and talking without backache, weighing the pros and cons or echoing: "What the governor said is extremely true!" It's time for the Green Battalion to get things in order! ”
Let's do it! Toss hard! When you offend the green camp, see how you stay in Jiangxi! It's not for me to win people's hearts then!
"Boom"...... The sound came!
Zhou Yuheng was no stranger to this voice, and exclaimed: "Where is the cannon?" The thieves are attacking the city again? ”
Liu Kaitai yelled at the guards who were stunned: "Why don't you go and see what's going on!" ”
In less than a quarter of an hour, the guard ran in panting, and said:
"Enlighten everyone, shorthair is fighting with a team of practicing warriors under the city, it seems that the township warriors can't support it!"
Jiang Zhongyuan faintly felt uneasy, and tacitly calculated the date, feeling that Mr. Zhongyue and they should also arrive, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of flag are they flying?" How many people are there? ”
The guards thought for a moment and said loudly: "There are about 5,000 people in the countryside in the city, and the banners are 'Luo', 'Li', 'Xiang', 'Guo', etc. ”
Jiang Zhongyuan said secretly: It's broken! This must be Mr. Zhong Yue's short-haired ambush, and he is in danger!
"Hurry up and open the city gates, let the city soldiers enter the city bravely!"
When Liu Kaitai heard that the city gate was going to be opened, he stopped: "My lord, this must not be!" The thieves under the city are fierce, if the city gate is opened, they take advantage of the chaos to rush in, we are all captured by the thieves, or let the village Yong fend for himself outside the city! ”
Jiang Zhongyuan was furious, the reinforcements under the city were his repeated requests to the teacher to help him, if he let the shorthair be wiped out without asking, what face would he have to return to Hunan, let alone explain to the teacher Zeng Guofan.
"Presumptuous! Since I became an army, Chu Yong, I have gone to the fire and the soup together! If you win, you will raise a glass of wine to make merit, and if you lose, you will die to save each other, and the short hair has a dead party that swears not to abandon each other, and our officers and soldiers should also have a dead party who swears not to abandon each other, only in this way can we fight with the thief to the end, and gradually renew the eyes and ears of our people and take the soul of the thief!
Tell the city gates to be opened! ”
When the people saw that he persuaded him with great righteousness, they did not dare to stop him, even though they were afraid that the thieves would enter the city.
A township officer was enthusiastic when he heard this, got up and bowed: "Listen to the general's words, only then do you know the pros and cons of our army, under Liu Kunyi, I am willing to follow the adult, please take it in!" ”
It turned out that this Liu Kun was a native of Hunan, and there was a family in Jiangxi who was a prefect, and his quality was martial and brave, so he was invited to form a group to train and protect the territory and the people.
Hearing that Nanchang was in danger, Liu Kunyi deliberately led his troops to the provincial capital to support.
A few days ago, the rebel army attacked the city, thanks to Liu Kunyi's advice and advice, leading his subordinates to fight to the death, which inspired other officials and soldiers to fight, and finally held Nanchang City. This made Liu Kaitai attach great importance to Liu Kunyi and planned to promote him to be a guerrilla general!
Seeing Liu Kun throw himself to Jiang Zhongyuan's side in a blink of an eye, Liu Kaitai was angry.
……
Liu Rong never believed that Nanchang had fallen, and looked back at the city wall from time to time, and when she saw the cannon on the wall shooting at Shorthair, she was overjoyed and said: "Nanchang is still in the hands of our army, Brother Zhongyue and Kehui, let's go into the city!" ”
Li Xubin turned around, and sure enough, he saw that the city wall was crowded, and the officers and soldiers were scrambling to fire cannons at the short-haired army, and from time to time they were mixed with arrows and stones, and said with great joy: "Kill to the city gate!" Enter Nanchang! Battalions listen to orders! Kill the gates! ”
Luo Zenan also knew that breaking through the siege was self-defeating, and desperately shouted to drive the villagers back to turn back.
Jiang Zhongyuan led 3,000 Chu Yong and Liu Kunyi to deploy more than 1,000 people, opened the city gate, and killed in the direction of Luo Zenan Xiangyong, intending to take them into the city!
Jiao Liang's subordinates saw that it was only a group of villagers who went out of the city to fight, and they didn't take it to heart, and they appeared from their hiding places one after another, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed! I think a group of villagers are just going out of the city, just for a show!
The two armies were connected, Jiao Liang's troops were caught off guard, and they were quickly killed, Jiao Liang, who couldn't figure out the situation, charged forward, and his whole body was already injured in three places, so frightened that he rolled and crawled to the side, and the 3,000 men and horses in ambush at the city gate of the Third Army were all Hui Party before, and the will to fight was not resolute! Seeing that the enemy army was brave, they involuntarily moved out of the way.
Lin Qirong saw that the Qing Demon in the city broke through the defense line, and in order to avoid being attacked by the enemy, he quickly ordered Cheng Xueqi's troops to get out of the front passage and strengthen the left and right flanks, so as not to be joined by the Qing Demon inside and outside.
Luo Zenan saw the clothes worn by the townspeople in the city, and said with great joy: "It's Minqiao!" Minqiao came to save us, the big guy held on, and the city sent troops to meet us! ”
The Qing army inside the city and the Qing army trapped outside the city gradually approached together, and because the two armies converged on the battlefield, they all stopped fighting and shouting! Fall into an eerie calm.
Lin Qirong, the commander of Jiao Liang's face, surrounded the Qing army from the new, and saw that the officers of the 14th Division all looked sideways at him, and explained: "When attacking the city, our army had already exhausted the ammunition, and the supplies replenished by Nanjing had not yet been transported, so the power of the musket could not be brought into play, and the brothers were not used to it, so let everyone laugh!" Jiao is here to accompany you! ”
Cheng Xueqi, Ding Ruchang, Wang Lei and others saw that he was making amends to them with the respect of the governor, and hurriedly bowed down and said that they didn't dare! The focus is bright, but it is impressive.
He Lu and other soldiers of the Third Army were grateful to Jiao Liang, thinking that Jiao Liang bore the guilt for them.
