Chapter 55: The Musket Team Frightened Xiang Rong
"My lord, it's not good, the anti-thief bird system is too powerful, and the subordinates can't beat it!" The deputy general ran to Yu Wanqing to report.
Yu Wanqing panicked, and the idea of holding on for a while just now disappeared, and he asked, "How many anti-thieves are coming?" ”
The deputy general didn't know how many people there were in Lu Dao to attack the Zhaimen, and guessed randomly: "There are tens of thousands of people all over the mountains!" ”
Yu Wanqing was dizzy for a while, thinking that all the Han troops in Nanjing City were here, and hurriedly said: "Then don't run away...... Retreat, you quickly gather all the soldiers and horses, and temporarily retreat to the Longtan camp, where there are still many soldiers and horses, which should be able to block the thieves. Seeing that the deputy general was gone, Yu Wanqing didn't pack his things, and fled with his own soldiers on horseback.
The Qing army in Qiaotou Town saw that the main general had fled, and the soldiers had no heart to fight, and before the Fifth Army could attack the camp, they fled and scattered, and more than 30 camps all collapsed.
Ling 18 interrogated the Qing army prisoners, and learned that nearly 20,000 people had fled back from the Qing army in Longtan and Qiaotou Town, and the Fifth Army was tired for a day, stationed in Qiaotou Town, and reported the battle situation to Nanjing.
On June 2, Li Desheng led the main force of the Seventh Army to conquer Ningguofu in Anhui Province and arrived at the periphery of Wuhu.
On the afternoon of June 2, Li Desheng left Wuhu and went to Lishui County, besieging Lishui without attacking.
Xiang Rong received the news that Lishui County was besieged, Jir Ahang was killed in the battle of Gaozi, and Yu Wanqing was wounded and retreated, so he hurriedly sent Zhang Guoliang to the Longtan camp to support.
Xiang Rong said: "Longtan is only more than 20 miles away from Nanjing, you must block the army from Zhenjiang there, otherwise once the morale of the two thief armies converges, they will inevitably attack the Jiangnan camp with all their might." ”
Zhang Guoliang understood the severity of the situation, bowed down and said: "Take care of your body, my lord, I will not let the thief army in Zhenjiang take a step forward." ”
Seeing Xiang Rong waving his hand, Zhang Guoliang walked out of the camp tent and rushed to the Longtan camp with only more than 30 personal soldiers.
Xiang Rong looked at the remaining generals in the tent, shook his head, and could only choose a general in a short man, looked at Hu Songlin, who was relatively capable of fighting, and said: "Tiger General Soldier, you lead 5,000 people to Lishui County quickly, Lishui is close to Dongba, and Liyang is connected, all of which are tied to the main road of Suzhou, and the saint has repeatedly warned that the thief army cannot be allowed to flow into the rich areas around Suzhou, Changzhou, and Huzhou, and Suzhou and Hangzhou are the places where my battalion is supplied with food, and there must be no loss." ”
So important, you only give 5,000 people! Hu Songlin was very helpless, and said in a tone that looked at death as home: "The last general will be broken to pieces, and he will also protect Lishui County." ”
…………
Jiangning General Fuxing saw that Xiang Rong gradually sent the soldiers and horses in the camp out, and said worriedly: "My lord, the filial piety guards also need to be guarded by soldiers and horses, in case the thieves in the city come to kill here, won't the Jiangnan camp collapse on all fronts." ”
Xiang Rong said decadently: "The places attacked by the thief army are all places where I must save, it seems that the decisive battle is coming soon, you all go down, I will also write a song to the emperor to ask for more reinforcements." ”
Fuxing glanced at Changgui, went out of the tent together, and the two came to Fuxing's residence.
"Not good! I see that Xiang Rong is not Li Yunzhong's opponent, and when the Han army attacked, he was in chaos. Fuxing felt that he could not bear the responsibility for the fall of the Jiangnan camp.
Changgui also had this idea, and said: "It's better for us to start first, and write a fold to put the responsibility on Xiang Rong, anyway, he was born with mud legs, and no one in the court stands up for him." ”
"It's only like this, it's not easy to get mixed up with a first-class member in 20 years, and it must not be ruined here." Fuxing has made up his mind, "Let's write a recital together to impeach Xiangrong, only in this way can we protect ourselves." ’
"Well, it's better for him to die than for us to die," Changgui said
Tang Zhengcai pointed to a piece of land raised on the shore in front of him, and said to Shi Dakai: "His Royal Highness the Wing King, there is Yanziji ahead, I will send a small boat to send you ashore, and I will also lead the naval army to defend the northern city of Nanjing, if you want to go back by boat, you must send someone to Nanjing City to tell the King of Han, and I can come to pick you up." ”
Shi Dakai followed the first wave of soldiers ashore, surveyed the nearby terrain, and after the whole army was assembled, he quickly led the army along the outer city wall of Nanjing to the southeast, and arrived at Yao Fangmen.
Yao Fangmen was only defended by 500 Qing troops, and when they saw the first army coming towards this place from a distance, they scattered and fled to the nearby Xianhemen.
Shi Dakai said to Li Xiucheng: "Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang built the outer city gate of Nanjing in the twenty-third year of Hongwu, and here is one of them - Yao Fangmen, now I will divide the first army into three parts, I will take 5,000 people to attack the area of Huangmaqun, Xiucheng, you lead 4,000 people to the Xianhe Gate southeast of Yao Fangmen, where there are about 6,000 Qing troops garrisoned, you feint to attack Xianhemen, don't let them support elsewhere." ”
After Li Xiucheng led the troops away, Shi Dakai pointed to the city gate in front of him and said to Li Chunfa beside him: "You lead 3,000 people from the city gate into the Linggu Temple 10 miles away to ambush you. When the Qing soldiers of the Qingma group support the Yellow Horse herd, you immediately attack the Qingma group. ”
In the city of Nanjing, Li Yunzhong estimated that the First Army had reached the designated attack position, and ordered the Third Army to leave the city from the Taiping Gate and attack the bunker city and the Longneck Qing army camp two miles away. He personally led the foreign gun team and the demolition regiment out of Chaoyangmen and went directly to the Xiaolingwei camp, set up cannons, and bombarded the Jiangnan camp.
Xiang Rong listened to the sound of "boom" and "boom" shells falling in the camp, stomped his feet anxiously, and said to the chief soldier De'an: "You immediately lead a thousand people to attack, destroy the artillery of the thief army, and come back with a heavy reward." ”
Seeing that Xiang Rong nodded to himself, De'an stubbornly said, "Obey the order."
De'an ordered a thousand men in the camp and boasted to them: "Lord Qincha has prepared a few boxes of silver, and his old man said: Fifty taels of silver will be rewarded for destroying a cannon, and twenty taels of silver will be rewarded for killing one, even if a person is not killed, he will also be rewarded with five taels of silver when he returns." ”
The lifeless procession suddenly came alive, and everyone expected how much silver they would get, when suddenly one of them shouted, "If you can't see the silver, you won't go." ”
"Yes, if you can't see the silver, you are lying to us."
"My lord, you have to move the money out first."
"Yes, yes......"
…………
Dean looked at the gradually chaotic team, and could only seek glory.
Xiang Rong heard the noise outside, and pointed at De'an and scolded: "How can I have so much silver, you can cause trouble yourself, take care of it yourself." ”
Changgui saw that Xiang Rong had the intention of changing generals, and was afraid that it would be his turn next, so he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "It's better to give him 10,000 taels first, now that the people outside are angry, they will definitely succeed." ”
De'an glanced at Changgui gratefully, and ordered someone to carry four boxes of silver outside, and opened all the boxes, and the white silver looked even more attractive in the sunlight.
A thousand people looked at the shining silver in front of them blankly, and unconsciously wanted to step forward and touch it.
De'an covered the box and said loudly: "The silver is here, the cannon is 500 in front, each person holds a fire primer, rush over to me, blow up the cannon, you can take the silver when you come back, you don't have to be a soldier, go home and buy a few acres of land, take a daughter-in-law who can give birth to a baby, and live a comfortable life"
Li Yunzhong looked at the Qing soldiers who rushed out of the gate of Dazhai, and with a wave of his hand, a thousand musket teams stood in three teams, and there were five hundred big sword teams on the left and right to protect them.
Seeing that the people in front of the Qing army were already within range, Li Yunzhong shouted: "Release"
"Bang" "Bang...... A puff of white smoke came from the muzzle of the gun, and the first row of musketeers quickly replaced their ammunition, and when the third row of musketeers had finished reloading, they all finished reloading and opened fire on the enemy in front of them.
The musketeers fired only three rounds, and the Qing soldiers in front were slaughtered, and many of them were wounded but not dead, and crawled towards the rear camp with needles.
