Chapter Seventy-Eight: Wang Xin swept through thousands of armies
Ji'an was in a hurry, and Liu Changyou immediately ordered Luo Bingzhang to ask Wang Xin to rescue.
Wang Xin received the news, led 3,000 troops, galloped to Shuidong, ambushed Shen Yuanyue in the first battle, killed Lu Sanyou in the second battle, and killed He Shengquan in the third battle.
In the north of Ji'an, Liu Changyou's 6,000-strong army attacked day and night, and Linjiang was in danger.
Shi Dakai was frightened and ordered Shi Zhenji and Yang Fuqing to rescue Ji'an and Linjiang.
Yang Fuqing and Yang Yiqing were stationed in Xincheng and Nanfeng, and they did not move.
Shizhen Ji Deling, sent Tianhou Hu Shoujie to aid Ji'an. Hu Shoujie led 10,000 troops, passed through Ningdu, and arrived at Shaxi.
Wang Xin detected that he left 1,000 soldiers to guard Shuidong, led 2,000 by himself, marched day and night, and raided Shaxi at dawn.
Hu Shoujie was unprepared, supervised the front team, and rushed to meet the battle; At noon, the main force of the Hu army arrived and surrounded them layer by layer. Wang Xin fought hard, repelled the Hu army, and entered the shogun.
Hu Shoujie was indignant that the soldiers were not able to fight, and personally led the pro-army to besiege Wang Xin. Wang Xinbing was divided into three sections, waiting for work at ease, and fortifying them one by one; He also ordered a group to snake through the deep forest and lay down near the hard ridge.
Hu had few firearms, lacked food, failed to conquer repeated attacks, and his morale was sluggish; Seeing that the situation was not good, Hu Shoujie led his troops to withdraw and strayed into the ambush circle. Wang Xin saw it really, ordered the guns to be fired, and Hu Shoujie fell from his horse and died. Shou Dai died, and his parts were scattered.
Wang Xin kept going and chased to Ningdu Fishing Peak. The rest of the Hu army gathered in the village, and the river in front of the village was full of camps. Wang Xin couldn't help but say, waved his army and rushed in, killed a general system and a general, and the Taiping army collapsed again. Wang Xin led his troops to chase back to Guxia, and then killed the commander-in-chief Yang Guangyu, and Hu Shoujie's 10,000-strong army, which was about to run out.
Yang Fuqing got the news, did not dare to delay it any longer, led an army of 30,000, went out of the new city, and entered Ji'an; Within a day, the Yang army had reached Dongshan Dam.
Wang Xin learned that he would march along the river quickly, day and night, quietly. The Taiping army was caught off guard, and Zhang Zongxiang, the inspector, and Cao Xinzhao, the commander, were all killed. Yang Fuqing led the whole army to fight, and he could not be defeated.
Jiangxi Governor Qi Ling Xixi: Wang Xin pursued and suppressed the bandits in Ningdu, and the thieves returned to Jianchang from Fujian, trying to commit Ji'an and Hunan, one was defeated, and the other came again. Wang Xin supervised the troops, attacked step by step, and frequently destroyed the enemy. The greatness of the feats is really rare.
However, Wang Xin was not happy, and during the battle, Wang Xin suddenly felt weak, delayed for six days, and left suddenly.
Jiangxi Governor Qi Ling heard the great sorrow and ordered Wang Xin's brother Wang Kaihua and the prefect Zhang Yunlan to lead his army.
Wang Xin died of illness, Shizhen Ji was overjoyed, and immediately sent troops out of Fuzhou to help Linjiang.
Liu Changyou sent Wuju Pu Chengyao to Luofang to set up defenses. Shi Zhenji led his army across the Yuan River and attacked Luofang. The two armies fought, Shi Zhenji suddenly sent cavalry to attack, Pu Chengyao was not supported, the whole line was defeated and retreated, and the camp was lost.
Luo Fang was lost, and the people of Yuanzhou and Linjiang were shocked. Liu Changyou said that Liu Yuchun, the commander of the water division, said: "The only way to divide the army is to suppress the thieves first, cover up their unpreparedness, and try their best to fight, or you can turn the crisis into safety." Stay in the team three percent to stick to Linjiang Changhao, my relatives led seven into a team, strict battle in the seedling field, Zhongting area. ”
On October 6, 1857, Shizhen Jiqin led 10,000 troops to Taipingwei; Cheng Ying, the general of Linjiang, also went out of Fushoumen, filled in and pulled out the piles, and waited for the battle.
Liu Changyou's troops were divided into four routes, advancing by land and water, and striking first. Shizhen Ji sent cavalry to attack, and Liu Changyou's guns and cannons faced each other, blocking the iron cavalry. Half an hour after the two armies engaged, Xiao Qijiang led his troops to arrive. Liu Changyou immediately ordered Xiao Bu to attack in a roundabout way. Shi Zhenji was defeated and retreated to Huanggang. Liu Changyou, Liu Yuchun, and Xiao Qijiang then surrounded Linjiang again.
Shi Da opened an army to garrison Anqing, and Emperor Xianfeng was uneasy, and ordered the general of Xi'an Fuxing to march north to resist and pass through eastern Jiangxi. Fuxing was stationed in Yiyang, and there were no soldiers available, so he wrote to Li Xubin and asked him to divide his troops to rescue.
Li Xubin replied: The danger of covering the Yangtze River is that the thieves must fight, and Xunyang is tied to the waist, especially the help. He has Xun, the lifeblood of the old nest on the left side of the river, and the throat of the right strand of the river. I will get this, and I will build the industry according to the following regulations, consolidate Jingxiang, and lead to the southwest gateway, which is the root of clarification. If he goes against all kinds of infarctions, then those who are plotting day and night will definitely take advantage of the situation and commit crimes, and there is no other way to save them.
Fuxing was worried, and quickly said: Shi Reverse and Hong Rebellion infighting, standing in Anqing, luring its old party in Jinling, and making a difference. The rebel is the most cunning of the thieves. The two counties of Linjiang and Ji'an in Jiang Province were all attacked by the rebel gang party one after another. If you cross the river today, the right side of the river will eat heavier, especially in southern Anhui. The troops of this province were all trapped by the two cities of Lin and Ji, and they did not score to defend Guangrao. In addition, a letter was intercepted, and Shi Cheng ordered the thief party Li Shoucheng to join Zhang Luoxing, led hundreds of thousands of thieves to disturb the downstream, and transferred the thief party Chen Yucheng, Hong Renchang, Hong Chunyuan, Wei Jun, etc., each with tens of thousands of thieves and five or six thousand, all of them to return to Jinling. And want to go to Jiangxi to disturb Zhejiang.
Emperor Xianfeng saw that he was sparse and ordered the deputy general Zhou Fengshan and the general of Jiujiang Town, Li Dingtai, to lead the army to help.
Fuxing Zaisao: A county in Raozhou, eastern Gandong is the back road of the letter, which goes directly to Qimen County in the south of the Yangtze River. The large stocks of Anhui and Jiangxi are coming, and the wolves of the defeated bandits in the river are rushing to the front, and they are all here. Now in the Jingdezhen area of Fuliang, after 10,000 years, the nests in the town street and other places are not clear, and there is no direction. The slave thinks that when entering and suppressing Fujian, he must first solidify and defend himself; If you want to be fortunate, you must first clear the bandits. First suppress and then block, so that the outside thieves dare not enter, and the internal bandits are not allowed to come out. then I am bent on attacking, but I can expect to destroy one, that is, one less; Attacking a city and trying to pull out a city will not have any worries about the future. Otherwise, if we attack the other and rush to the west, I am afraid that the overall situation will not be stable.
Shi Dakai stopped in Anqing and prepared for March, Zhang Suimou sighed: "The commanders of the army, but Yang Fuqing and Shi Zhenji agreed; There are 40,000 generals and soldiers. Xunbei Xiaochikou blood book for help, can you save it? Chen and Li's soldiers gave up their troops to Anhui, which seemed to be against my orders. Jiangxi is in an emergency, Ruizhou Lai Yuxin's department is running out of ammunition and food, but Wei Jun does not help; Fortunately, Lai Yuxin was brave and led more than 1,000 remnants to retreat to Ji'an; The generals under him killed the Hunan demon Liu Tenghong, and still kept the moon. ”
Shi Dakai said: "Xiaochikou is not under my control; Wei Jun, Chen Yucheng, and Li Xiucheng move from time to time, or Tianjing sounds. ”
Zhang Suimou said: "Yuanzhou, Zhangshu, and Ruizhou are all lost, and the huge western Jiangxi, only Linjiang and Ji'an are left!" Immediate rescue! ”
Da Kai said: "Tianjing don't hate like the sea, and from then on, Hong and others are passers-by." Tomorrow, cross the river, enter eastern Jiangxi in the south, enter Fuzhou through Jingde, and aid Linjiang and Ji'an, Huishi Zhenji, Yang Fuqing, Fu Zhongxin, Lai Yuxin, and Cheng Xuan, open up the west and east, and raise food resources. ”
Shi Da traveled through Jingde, Wei Jun went out of the city to kneel and worship, and his subordinates Lai Wenhong, Liu Guanfang, Gu Longxian and others also knelt.
Wei Jundao: This is a personal matter between me and the Wing King Chitose, and it has nothing to do with the generals. Then cried: Wei Jun represented the three hundred and fifty-four women and children of the Wei family, and thanked His Royal Highness King Chitose for not killing him.
Shi Da opened his eyes and did not squint, and the overseers hurried.
Linjiang guard, the 55th inspection point on the left of the palace Cheng Xuan Wenda entered Jiangxi, and then asked for help.
Da Kaidao: The defenders of Linjiang ran out of ammunition and food, and smuggled across Central Continent in the middle of the night to buy food, which was bitter.
Wei Tianhou Huang Yukun Dao: Shi Zhenji and Yang Fuqing reinforcements were successively defeated, and Hu Shoujie, Zhang Zongxiang, and Cao Xinzhao, the commander of Tianhou, were killed one after another; Wang Xin's demon is hateful, if he doesn't die, I will kill him.
Shi Da opened the way: The Hunan demon is strong, and it is needed.
Zhang Sui conspired: It can make Shizhenji attack Dongxiang Li Dingtai Demon and promote the trend of the north and south.
Shi Da Kaidao: Linjiang and Ji'an are all on the left side of the Ganjiang River, I have no boats and boats to cross, although there are 100,000 soldiers, what can I do! I order, the first to annihilate Guixi Li Yuandu Xiang demon, cleanse Jiangdong. Anren's soldiers crossed the river to attack the south, and Shizhen Ji entered the new road to the north to contain the Dongxiang Li Dingtai demon army. Yang Fuqing's troops went out of Jinxi and Luxi and attacked Guixi from the south; Our governor led the army, first attacked Yingtan, and then converged with Yangbu and surrounded Guixi.
