"No, I'm going back at this time, I'm going to be with my brothers and sisters." Hong Renli said: "I am already extremely guilty, if I can't be with them at this time, I won't be able to care about it for the rest of my life." ”

Then, she rushed towards Jiujiang City.

Su Yu couldn't stop it.

Then, he couldn't help but look in the direction of the west.

Although it was night and he couldn't see clearly, he seemed to still see Lord Shen Baozhen, who was looking at the Yangtze River at this time.

This person really didn't disappoint him.

At the critical moment, the means are so ruthless and decisive!

Thank you, Lord Shen Baozhen.

…………………………………………

Inside Jiujiang City.

On the city walls, there are people who are constantly on the lookout for everything.

Because of the heavy rain, the peach blossom flood, the river, and the lake are always beating against the embankment, making loud noises.

But the loud bang just now still seemed harsh.

So, the people on the walls immediately looked in that direction.

At night, I couldn't see clearly.

What exactly happened.

"Boom ......"

There was a loud bang.

A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky and lit up the entire land.

Then they saw a horrified scene, a gap in the dam of the Yangtze River, and the flood water was rushing in.

Sky! Oh, my God!

Suddenly, the Taiping army on the city wall immediately rang the bell.

And it's the kind of bell that is very piercing.

"Dangdang......"

The bell rang in the sky over the entire Jiujiang City.

Lin Qirong, Zeng Tianyang and other generals rushed to the city and asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Soon, they knew what was wrong.

Because I heard the loud sound of water, I have lived on the edge of the Yangtze River for so long, and I am too familiar with this sound.

"It's not good, someone dug the embankment!" Zeng Tianyang shouted, this old general has been in charge of the water division for a long time, so he is too familiar with all this.

"demons!"

"Despicable and shameless!"

"Cut off children and grandchildren!"

"Is it Su Yu?" Immediately someone yelled and asked.

Zeng Tianyang said: "Loyal Marquis, if the gap is not big, it is still too late!" ”

"The wheat fields in our city will be ripe in a month, and if the flood comes in, it will be completely destroyed, and our last little food will be gone, and our last hope will be shattered!"

Lin Qirong shouted loudly: "Brothers, follow me to plug the gap. ”

As Lin Qirong shouted, thousands of Taiping soldiers rushed out behind him.

Zeng Tianyang said: "Master Hou, I'll plug the gap, and you stay in Jiujiang!" ”

Lin Qirong pushed him away and said, "How old am I, how old are you?" ”

When Lin Qirong led thousands of people to the place where the Yangtze River dam broke, he found that it was densely packed with people.

"Ready to fight, ready to fight!"

Lin Qirong shouted.

Suddenly, these thousands of Taiping soldiers put down their things one after another, picked up the guys, and prepared for battle.

But the next second!

Lin Qirong and others saw clearly that this group of people was a new army.

After they glanced at the Taiping army, even if the other party was ready to fight, they still ignored it and continued to work hard.

Everyone carried stones and sandbags, desperately looking at the breach in the levee.

Like ants moving, desperately trying to plug the gap.

Hundreds of torches illuminate the area.

Su Yu also found Lin Qirong, but he still didn't speak, and continued to rush forward with the sandbag.

Deputy Marshal Wang Shiqing, carrying hundreds of pounds of boulders alone, rushed forward.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qirong instantly understood.

It was definitely not Su Yu who destroyed the dike, but ...... God-damn Shen Baozhen.

By the way, it must be him.

His Hunan army was on a high place, so the flood could not be flooded.

But Su Yu and his Taiping army are in low places and will be flooded.

After staying for a while, Lin Qirong shouted loudly: "What are you staying for? Hurry up and plug the gap! ”

Next, thousands of Taiping soldiers also rushed up frantically, desperately using various things to plug the gap.

Use all kinds of bags and fill them with dirt to plug them.

Use boulders to plug it.

Or even use wood to plug it.

For a time, Su Yao's 2,000 new troops and Lin Qirong's thousands of Taiping troops went one after another to plug this flood gap.

It's completely unclear who is who.

It's a race against time.

Even, the Taiping army fell, and the one who helped them up next to them was the new army.

And just like that, thousands of people worked desperately for hours!

Finally......

This gap is plugged.

Fortunately, the water level of the Yangtze River is not high yet, and the current is not very terrifying.

Fortunately, this gap is not big enough, otherwise it is really impossible to plug it.

But now it's just barely blocked, because the most suitable thing to plug the gap is the sandbag, so that there are no gaps.

Boulders, wood, and other things still have gaps, so the water is still seeping through.

Thousands of people still didn't dare to be careless, so they found all kinds of cloths, wrapped them in soil, and desperately tried to plug all kinds of gaps and gaps.

Halfway through, the veteran Zeng Tianyang still came, and came with another 2,000 people.

Lin Qirong roared angrily: "What are you doing? Don't you have to defend the city? ”

Zeng Tianyang said: "Wang Niang guards the city. ”

Thousands of people, continue to fight desperately.

Even weeds were brought in, mixed with dirt, to plug the gap.

"Like...... It doesn't seem like much water is seeping in. ”

"Did we succeed?"

"Success, success......"

Some young people couldn't help but cheer loudly, and then went to hug the people around them, and then found that it was not their comrades, but Su Yu's new army, or the opposite.

But in the face of such natural disasters, people's hearts are the easiest to unite together.

Then the new army began to eat and brought out their own dry rations.

The new army food is good, but this is in the wild, so there is only flatbread to eat.

But this fragrant flatbread also made Lin Qirong's Taiping Army salivate.

Brothers of the new army, at this time each took the initiative.

Directly tore off half of the bread in his hand and handed it to the Taiping army on the side.

"Come brother, eat together."

"Let's eat together."

However, most of the Taiping army did not move.

Su Yu's new army soldier said: "What if you eat a piece of my cake, will I still let your subordinates show mercy on the battlefield?" After eating my piece of bread, you still hacked me to death when you saw me on the battlefield, okay? ”

Most of the Taiping troops still did not move, but looked at the main general Lin Qirong at the heights.

Su Yu tore off half of the flatbread and handed it to Lin Qirong, drank a big sip of soju, and handed the flask to Lin Qirong.

The other party was slightly stunned, and then took it.

Take a bite of flatbread first, then take a sip of soju.

As soon as Lin Qirong ate it, the brothers under him immediately took over the cake in the hands of the new army.

Two armies, forgetting about hostility for a while, forgetting about hatred.

Sit down, drink water, and eat flatbread.

"Boom Rumble......

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

In the sky, there was another flash of lightning and thunder.

Su Yu and Lin Qirong glanced at each other, secretly saying bad things in their hearts.

Sure enough, heavy rain poured down on the spot.

"Don't, don't, don't......" The veteran Zeng Tianyang shouted loudly, using his hands and feet together, and climbed the embankment.

"God, Lord Dragon, please don't rain, please don't rain......"

Zeng Tianyang was raised on the embankment and kept kowtowing to the Yangtze River.

"I can't go down, our grain will be harvested in a month, and it can't be down anymore......"

"We're out of food, we can't go down......"

Zeng Tianyang kept kowtowing and crying.

Lin Qirong said loudly: "Come down, you come down!" ”

At this time, Su Yu heard a burst of sounds, as if they were about to burst.

Not good......

Although this gap was temporarily plugged, it was far from strong enough, and it was a very fragile balance.

Now that the torrential rain is pouring down, the water level will rise again.

Then this temporarily blocked gap may be broken again at any time.

And now there is nothing to find at all, all the bags are used up, and all the wooden boxes are almost used up.

All the stones were also used up.

Su Yu said: "General Lin, it's time to go." ”

Lin Qirong said: "No, I'm unwilling, I'm unwilling!" ”

And at this very time!

This plugged gap seeped water out again.

There are more and more places where water seeps, more and more.

Lin Qirong shouted loudly at Zeng Tianyang on the embankment: "Come down, come down." ”

The veteran Zeng Tianyang looked at this scene in despair.

"Bang ......"

Then, the place that was blocked just now was directly torn open.

Once again, the flood waters poured in.

Then, the gap grew bigger and bigger.

Everyone is desperate.

The veteran Zeng Tianyang let out a sad cry: "God, why are you so ruthless, my food, the food we grew with our own hands." ”

Then, he couldn't think about it for a while, and the whole person jumped directly towards the Yangtze River.

In desperation, he actually wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the river.

"Bang!"

However, he did not jump.

was pressed to the ground alive by two people.

One is his personal soldier, and the other is Wang Shiqing.

failed to commit suicide, Zeng Tianyang lay on the ground, crying.

Su Yu came to Lin Qirong's side and said, "Brother Lin Shi, this gap can't be blocked, you people must make all preparations, all go to a high place, and stand on the roof." ”

"The grain you planted will definitely not be able to be saved, and now it has even just started to fill the grain, so don't lose your life in vain to harvest this grain."

"Next, the entire area around Jiujiang City will become Zeguo."

"I'm going to withdraw with the new army......"

"Goodbye!"

Then, Su Yu ordered loudly: "New army soldiers, all evacuate!" ”

With Su Lu's order, more than 2,000 new soldiers withdrew as fast as they could, heading somewhere to the east, and then boarded the ship there.

Time to be fast, to be fast!

"Take care!" Su Yu didn't care whether the other party agreed or not, and held Lin Qirong's hand tightly.

Then leave!

Lin Qirong watched more and more pipes.

Soon the embankment will burst again, and it will definitely not be saved.

So, Lin Qirong also shouted loudly: "Go, go, go......"

"All retreat back to the city!"

Then, Lin Qirong and Zeng Tianyang also retreated desperately with thousands of Taiping troops.

Take advantage of the last time to organize the people in the city to the roof, and move all the remaining supplies to high places.

It's a complete race against time!

………………………………………………

At this time, the Taiping army in Jiujiang City.

It's all mobilized, and everything is moved to the roof.

There are also many people who are harvesting wheat with sickles.

After Lin Qirong brought people into the city.

By this time, the flood water had been pouring in.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The gap that had been barely plugged burst again at this time.

The raging flood rushed in again. Although Jiujiang is blocked by a city wall, water cannot enter at once, but the city wall is in disrepair, and I don't know how many pipes gush, and the water will come in sooner or later.

Lin Qirong picked up a bunch of wheat ears, put them in his mouth and chewed them, and the inside had just begun to fill the grain.

"Don't cut, don't cut......"

"Salvage supplies, go to the roof, go to the roof."

"All to the top."

"All the wounded, women, children, go to the tall buildings with roofs."

"All men, go up to the walls, go up to the roofs!"

Then, Lin Qirong stood at the head of the city, looking at the place where the embankment broke, and the flood poured in like a dragon.

Full of despair!

And at this time.

Suddenly, outside the eastern gate, a group of people came.

A whole thousand, a few hundred people.

Each of them carried a large bag on his mouth.

It turned out to be the New Army.

Lin Qirong was stunned, this ...... What does this do?

Su Yu took the lead and came to the city wall.

By this time, the flood had reached the ankles.

Lin Qirong didn't doubt him at this time, and immediately took someone out.

Su Yu said: "Brother Lin Shi, this is 150,000 catties of grain, most of which is dry food, and hundreds of gunpowder packets, I left them to you." ”

"I'm so sorry, but that's all I have for now."

"I'm going to lead the army to leave temporarily and go to Yangzhou to get food."

"Resist and wait for me to bring the food."

"Don't die, don't kill yourself. Don't let your brothers die, and don't kill yourself. ”

"Wait until I bring food to save you!"

Lin Qirong looked at the piles of grain and looked at Su Yu, his whole person was confused.

I was shaken strongly, but I was completely overwhelmed.

"Su Yu, I, it is impossible for me to surrender, it is impossible for me to betray the kingdom of heaven." Lin Qirong said.

Su Yu said: "Lin Qirong, if I say half a surrender next, I am not worthy of being a person." ”

"Do you think I'm a man of gratitude?" Su Yu said loudly: "Everyone witnesses, in the future, in front of Lin Qirong and in front of the Jiujiang Taiping Army, I will never say the word surrender!" ”

"Receive food, receive supplies!"

With Su Yao's order.

These more than 1,000 soldiers put the food on their shoulders on the shoulders of the Taiping army.

"Evacuate!" Su Yu gave an order.

The new army, more than 1,000 men, rushed through the water and headed for the fleet to the east.

The water level is getting higher and higher.

Lin Qirong looked at the back of Su Liu's new army, in a daze.

"Bring the grain to the highest place, and ...... the highest place"

A few hours later!

Su Yu's new army, on hundreds of ships, left along the Yangtze River and returned to Yangzhou.

Food and supplies are not enough.

The most important thing is to empty the battlefield once again.

…………………………………………

The next few days.

Torrential rain poured down.

It rains every day, and the water level of the Yangtze River is getting higher and higher, and the water level of Poyang Lake is also getting higher and higher.

Lin Qirong and the others watched the entire Jiujiang City completely turn into a Zeguo.

The water level is constantly rising.

Three feet, five feet, ten feet.

And it's still rising.

If it goes up again, even the roof won't be able to stay.

Countless people, kneeling on the rooftops and praying.

God, Lord Dragon, don't go down again.

If we go down again, we'll all be drowned.

At this time, Lin Qirong was extremely grateful in his heart.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Su Yao sent 150,000 catties of grain.

Otherwise...... The brothers were afraid that they would starve to death.

150,000 catties, each person can divide about eight or nine catties.

But Lin Qirong ordered that each person could only eat three taels per day.

This will last a little longer.

At this time, all the soldiers of the Taiping Army knew that all the food they ate in their mouths at this time was given by Su Yu's new army.

Suddenly, my mind was extremely complicated.

Lin Qirong and Zeng Tianyang looked at the general Jiujiang City of Zeguo, and said slowly: "Elder Zeng, although the East King is dead, we are people who are born in Heaven, and we are ghosts in Heaven when we die. No matter how good Su Yu is, he is also the leader of the Qing Demon, so it is absolutely impossible to surrender. ”

Zeng Tianyang said: "Although the East King is dead, the King of Heaven is ridiculous, we know it in our hearts. But in the hearts of the brothers, there is still loyalty to the king of heaven, and there are still emotions, and surrender is impossible. ”

Lin Qirong said: "It is impossible to surrender, but it is also necessary to repay the favor." ”

Zeng Tianyang said: "At this time, the only thing that can support us is this spirit. ”

Lin Qirong said: "Live with your nature, go wherever you go, if you can't go on, you will die vigorously." ”

Perhaps it was the prayers of the Taiping army that played a role.

The next day, the heavy rain stopped.

The sun has come out for a long time, and the temperature is starting to rise.

Many Taiping troops seem to see hope again.

……………………………………………………

And at this time!

In the other direction, the brother of Wei Changhui, the northern king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Wei Jun!

During this time, he has been leading more than 10,000 Taiping troops to fight around Jiangxi, and he has just captured Ji'an City not long ago.

Compared to Shi Fengkui, this Wei Jun is much stronger.

He is also an old opponent of the Hunan army, and he has won more and lost less against the Hunan army over the years.

Two years ago, Wuchang City was defeated by him.

The teacher of the Hunan army, the fierce general Luo Zenan, was once defeated by him.

During this time, he fought well in Jiangxi, and was attacking cities and grabbing land everywhere, but he didn't expect the Tianjing Incident to break out.

He also received a huge mental shock.

But it soon relented, because he was also a winner.

His brother Wei Changhui killed Yang Xiuqing.

The mountain that pressed on everyone's heads was gone, and the terrifying East King was gone.

When the news reached Wei Jun's ears, his first reaction was to immediately return to Tianjing to help his brother Wei Changhui maintain the situation.

But he was told not to do it.

He and Wei Changhui, the king of the north, were both prosperous and lost.

The two of them can't be both in Tianjing, but they have to be inside and outside, so that they can be stable.

For example, today the army of the Kuomintang is divided into two places, one near Tianjing and Anhui, and the other around Jiangxi.

Wei Changhui, the king of the north, is in Tianjing with his back to the king of heaven, so he Wei Jun should seize the military power in Jiangxi.

The core of Jiangxi is Nanchang.

Therefore, Wei Jun should lead the army to enter Nanchang.

Wei Jun felt justified, so he led 15,000 Taiping troops north and stationed in Nanchang.

So, at this time, there were more than 30,000 people in the Nanchang Taiping Army, and Shi Dakai was not there, so Wei Jun naturally became the commander of the Nanchang Taiping Army.

It's just that the original Nanchang lord was Shi Dakai's subordinates, and he was not very convinced by Wei Jun.

However, there was no tearing of the skin.

Because the Wing King Shi Dakai just went to Tianjing to preside over the situation and prevent Wei Changhui from continuing his atrocities, but the situation was not yet clear.

………………………………………………

The weather is getting better day by day.

The temperature is getting higher and higher, and the sun is shining on the earth.

The water level in Jiujiang City is constantly decreasing, and it is believed that it will not be long before it will dry up.

During the whole process, Lord Shen Baozhen was waiting for the rabbit.

His army was stationed in the northwest direction of Jiu, and the terrain was very high and would not be affected by the flood.

So in this big water, there was no loss, but a rare rest.

This battle, although it was rushed at the beginning, made mistakes, and caused the army to suffer a lot of casualties.

But then, he was ruthless and decisive, and he still saved the situation.

He held a telescope and looked at everything in Jiujiang City.

"Lord Shen, I have already reconnoitred everywhere, and Su Yu's new army has fled."

"Within a radius of 100 miles, there is no trace of the new army of Su Lu, when the city was flooded, the specific casualties of the new army are unknown, but the material damage should be very serious, there are boxes floating everywhere, and their barracks have not had time to collect, and they are completely submerged in the water."

"This flood destroyed everything in Jiujiang City, and the wheat that was about to ripen was also flooded."

"Jiujiang has been completely out of food for several days."

Shen Baozhen said: "Continue to record, is there any cooking smoke in Jiujiang City, and there are several cooking smoke in a day." ”

"Yes!"

This time, Shen Baozhen was very cautious.

We must wait until the Jiujiang Taiping army is about to starve to death before starting to attack the city.

Make sure to take it in one fell swoop.

He was patient on the one hand, but anxious on the other.

Because, Su Yu obviously went to Yangzhou to replenish, and once the supply is completed, he will come back immediately.

Therefore, it is necessary to take Jiujiang down before the arrival of Su Yu's new army.

For this reason, he specially sent a fleet to patrol the Yangtze River, and once he found Su Lu's fleet, he immediately reported it.

The best situation is to wait until all the Taiping troops in Jiujiang City starve to death, so that they can easily take Jiujiang City.

Under his observation.

The situation in Jiujiang City is very bad.

On the city walls, there are fewer and fewer people.

Vaguely, there were more and more corpses.

There is also more and more smoke.

It's just that this is not the smoke of cooking, but the smoke of cremating corpses.

The whole city was once again wrapped in a blank slate.

Obviously, this is Jiujiang City's internal filial piety for the dead brothers.

……………………………………………………

Inside Jiujiang City!

Zeng Tianyang said: "Master Hou, do you think this strategy is effective?" ”

Hong Ren said: "It works, because it is completely logical, and it is more in line with Shen Baozhen's expectations." ”

In the past few days, each person only eats three taels of dry food, and then pours hot water wildly.

Although he didn't die of hunger, he was really a little empty.

But if it weren't for the 150,000 catties of grain sent by Su Yu, they would have almost starved to death.

Of course, this flood did not come without a little benefit, that is, it brought some fish.

But this little bit of fish is a drop in the bucket for 18,000 people.

Zeng Tianyang said: "Master Hou, when do you think Shen Baozhen will attack the city?" ”

Lin Qirong said: "When Su Yu's fleet sets off from Yangzhou City again, they will attack the city." Because he first flooded the city with a flood, destroyed the wheat that we were about to ripen, and made us completely cut off food, it will definitely not be cheap Su Liu. ”

"Next, let more brothers play the corpse, and lie down more."

"And then, on the city walls, on the ground, he fell to the ground hungry."

"Next, don't raise the fire anymore, everyone is filled with cool white water."

"Staged starvation all over the ground."

"If you want Shen Baozhen's side to hurry up and attack the city, we can't consume it anymore, if we continue to consume it, we really have to completely cut off the food, and the 150,000 catties of grain sent by Su Yu will also be eaten."

With Lin Qirong's order.

The situation in Jiujiang City looks even more miserable.

The soldiers on the city walls, dying.

Even, is it just a sudden fall to the ground?

The roads in the city were also full of people, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

…………………………………………………………

On the distant hillside, the Hunan military telescope observed all this.

"Lord Shen, it's almost okay."

"In Jiujiang City, there has been a complete shortage of food a long time ago, and now there is no cooking smoke."

"A large number of people in the city have starved to death."

"Moreover, now the people who are dead are not burned at all, and they are left to be thrown there."

"The last general will see that many people are grabbing and eating dirt on the ground."

"It's time to storm the city."

Shen Baozhen shook his head and said, "Wait, wait!" ”

The staff said, "My lord, I can't wait. ”

Shen Baozhen said: "Oh? Why? ”

The staff said: "Because they don't burn the corpses anymore, this is ...... In the final struggle. ”

After Shen Baozhen listened, he couldn't help but tremble.

He understood what his staff meant.

Those who rebelled before and burned their dead comrades were burned, but now they don't burn them.

This...... What is this intended to do?

It goes without saying, pointing to the most brutal answer.

Is this to use people as military rations?

It's just that Lin Qirong has moral sentiments, so he can't make up his mind.

The staff said: "Lin Qirong has moral sentiments, but those rebellious soldiers don't, once someone breaks this taboo, they will follow suit, then they will be full, and they will burst out with terrible ferocity!" So we're going to hurry up and attack the city. ”

Shen Baozhen said: "Reasonable, start gathering the army!" ”

Half an hour later!

Another scout came to report.

"My lord, the flying pigeon passed the book, the flying pigeon passed the book, and the flying pigeon passed the book, which flew from the Yangtze River boat. Because our camp has only been established for a short time, many carrier pigeons do not know how to return to the nest, so we should fly back ten, but only two! ”

Shen Baozhen took the secret letter on the carrier pigeon, and said secretly in his heart: Could it be that Su Yu's fleet is back?

Open it and take a look!

The main force of the Rebel Water Division is coming, and the distance is two hundred and eighty miles.

Suddenly, Shen Baozhen secretly exclaimed.

It would be better if Su Yu came, at least it was the army of the Qing Dynasty, and they might grab the credit, but they would not fire at the Hunan army.

But the main force of the rebel division is not necessarily.

Lin Qirong is Yang Xiuqing's person, didn't Tianjing rebel against Lin Qirong and not save him? Why are you sending a large army now?

But no matter what, you have to do it right away.

Suddenly, Shen Baozhen ordered: "The army is assembled, the whole army is well fed, and prepare to attack the city!" ”

……………………………………………………

Inside Jiujiang City.

Someone immediately reported to Lin Qirong.

"Master Hou, Shen Baozhen's army has moved, moved!"

Lin Qirong ordered loudly: "The whole army is well fed, no more than eight taels of dry food per person, and is ready to fight!" ”

With an order.

The 18,000 Taiping soldiers cheered with great joy in their hearts.

Finally...... I can finally let go of my stomach and eat.

Eight taels of dry food, it's already a lot.

Everyone was cold and white, and they feasted.

Although the flatbread is very dry and dry, the climate has been so humid lately that even if it is exposed to the sun every day, it still feels a little moldy.

But...... For the Taiping Army, who were out of food, they only ate three taels a day, which was tantamount to delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Everyone, they all ate eight taels.

Then, pour on cool boils.

Eat your fill!

Finally full.

It's been two years, and for the first time, I feel full, and it's so comfortable.

Now that you're full, get ready to fight!

…………………………………………

Shen Baozhen's more than 10,000 troops were assembled five hundred meters away from the Jiujiang city wall.

"You have all seen clearly, now there is a rebellion in the city, less than three or four thousand, and the rest are starving to death."

"And the remaining three or four thousand are no longer human."

"If that's the case, you still can't take Jiujiang City, then just wipe your neck."

"You all know that Zeng Dashuai was humiliated by Su Yu'er, and the emperor said that whoever takes Jiujiang and Nanchang will be the governor of Jiangxi."

"Now, the reinforcements of the rebellious sailors are two hundred miles away, and they will arrive in a few hours!"

"Leave us a moment, just three or four hours!"

"Within three hours, can you take Jiujiang?" Shen Baozhen yelled.

"Yes!" More than 10,000 Hunan troops shouted.

Shen Baozhen gave an order suddenly: "The whole army will attack and break through Jiujiang City!" ”

With his order, the Hunan army launched a frantic attack.

Like a tide, it rushed towards Jiujiang City.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

At the head of Jiujiang City, the artillery began to roar.

However, it is significantly less and weaker than before.

The Hunan army was full of energy, countless people built pontoon bridges, and countless people jumped across the river.

Rushed straight under the city walls!

And yet at this time!

There was another burst of cannonball.

The city was originally sparse, and suddenly countless flags were erected.

Countless human heads appeared.

Densely packed defenders.

And everyone, in good spirits, looks like they are going to starve to death.

Lin Qirong shouted loudly: "Qing Demon Shen Baozhen, you have been tricked!" ”

"Brothers, kill!"

With an order.

From above the city, countless rolling logs and countless bricks and stones fell down.

Gunpowder packets blow down.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

At this time, the Hunan army was densely packed under the city wall, and every gunpowder bag explosion brought huge casualties.

See this scene.

Shen Baozhen's face turned pale, and his back was cold.

Why is this happening?

Didn't the rebellion run out of food a long time ago, and starve a large number of people to death?

Didn't the wheat fields in the city be completely flooded before they were ripe?

Why is this happening?

But now, where is the reason for withdrawing troops?

Since it is in the plan, it can only be counted.

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

Kill, kill, kill!

Shen Baozhen, who had a ferocious attack, instead of retreating, attacked the city even more ferociously!

"The Overseer team stepped forward, but anyone who retreated, kill them all!"

With his order, the overseer team lined up neatly, raised their foreign guns and aimed.

Fighting, once again into the day!

This round, compared to the previous round, is even more tragic!

The Hunan army had no way out.

The Taiping army also had no way out.

The two sides began to fight frantically.

The brutal Hunan army rushed to the city again and again.

The Taipings, again and again, slaughtered them from the city.

Lin Qirong, Zeng Tianyang, and Hong Renli were the first to die.

An hour!

Two hours!

Three hours!

More than three hours of the most intense time passed.

It is no longer clear how many times the Hunan army has attacked the city.

It is not clear how many times the Taiping army killed the Hunan army.

The two sides followed one another.

Brave!

Lin Qirong became more and more frightened the more he fought.

He deeply felt that the combat effectiveness of the Hunan army was rapidly improving. The previous Hunan army relied on better weapons and artillery, and the melee combat was inferior to the Taiping army.

And now, even the melee level has caught up.

The Taiping Army under his Lin Qirong is already the highest combat effectiveness. But perhaps because he has been hungry for too long, although his will to fight is infinite, his physique still declines.

Therefore, in terms of combat effectiveness, it seems that it is no longer comparable to the Hunan army in front of him.

The Hunan army on the other side also became more and more frightened.

This group of rebels and crazy stomachs that have been hungry for so long are obviously so thin.

But it can burst out with such terrifying combat power.

You can't kill it at all!

After killing one, the back is far from making up.

Not afraid of death at all!

The battle between the two sides showed an extremely stalemate.

As if anything could have been.

It seems that the Hunan army will be pushed off the city wall again at any time.

And the Taiping army's side also seems to be broken at any time and occupy the position on the city wall.

Both sides are brave and surprisingly strong in combat.

Casualties are also high.

But, with the passage of time.

Shen Baozhen became more and more frightened and anxious.

Because, the reinforcements on the Yangtze River are getting closer and closer.

Once the enemy's reinforcements arrived, the front and rear were flanked, and his Hunan army was in danger.

But...... His army has done its best.

The rebellion of the defenders of the city is too brave and terrible.

He took out his pocket watch and kept counting the time when reinforcements might arrive.

He felt that his time was getting less and less!

…………………………………………

And at the same time!

Su Luo's fleet had already approached Jiujiang City.

Where is the sailor of the Taiping Army, it is his fleet, flying the flag of the Taiping Army.

"Dashuai, Jiujiang City is fighting fiercely!"

"There were countless casualties on both sides, and the fight was inseparable!"

Su Yu said: "All artillery, aim at the positions of the Hunan army, ready to fire!" ”

"Yes!"

Su Yu's new army, all dressed in the service of the Taiping Army, wore turbans, and wore shawls.

Start logging.

It took more than an hour to transport dozens of artillery pieces from the ship to land.

Then, the great army lined up.

Dozens of artillery pieces were aimed at the positions of the Hunan army outside the city.

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

With an order.

Dozens of artillery pieces, start playing!

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

Countless shells crossed the sky and smashed towards the Hunan army's position.

Then, bang up!

Artillery is not the same? The shells are not the same"

In the same way, whether it is the Su New Army, the Hunan Army, or the Taiping Army, the artillery is bought from foreigners.

It's just that the Taiping army bought relatively few advanced foreign artillery.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

There were violent explosions.

The Hunan army on the position was caught off guard, and many people were blown up.

Followed by......

A lot of people come to the newspaper.

"Lord Shen, it's not good, the rebel reinforcements have arrived!"

Shen Baozhen's eyes were dark, and he almost fainted.

Li Xubin roared: "How many people are there in the rebel reinforcements? ”

"I don't know, thousands have landed, and there is still a steady stream of ships on the river, hundreds of them."

Li Xubin trembled and said, "Lord Shen, you must withdraw immediately, withdraw immediately!" Otherwise, there is a danger of annihilation! ”

Shen Baozhen only felt that the world was spinning, and there was endless pain in his heart.

Why did Heaven do this to him?

Was there something wrong with his tactics? Is there something wrong with his layout?

Not at all.

But why is this the result?

Two battles, not taken down? Instead, the soldiers are lost?

Li Xubin said: "Lord Shen, retreat quickly, otherwise it will be too late." ”

"We didn't get Jiujiang City, but at least Su Yu didn't get it either, the rebellious reinforcements arrived, and they must have brought a lot of food, so no one in Jiujiang City could take it."

Shen Baozhen endured the dizziness, looking at the blood-drenched city wall and the ground strewn with corpses.

Again, full of infinite unwillingness, shouting loudly: "Retreat, retreat!" ”

"Dangdang, dang, dang!"

Hunan army, once again Mingjin retreats!

And this time the retreat was not so neat, but a hasty escape.

Because the rebel reinforcements arrived, if they didn't flee, they would be attacked from inside and outside.

The Hunan army lost all its heavy supplies, used all its speed, and fled westward.

And Lin Qirong, who killed the red-eyed Lin Qirong over there, actually chased and killed him madly.

While chasing and killing, he also shouted, reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming.

More than an hour later!

It's dark!

The Hunan army has fled without a trace.

Su Yu's new army once again appeared under Jiujiang City.

Then, Lin Qirong was embarrassed.

Yes?!

Originally...... It turned out to be you.

I, I thought it was reinforcements.

Then, everyone fell into a sense of loss.

Tianjing, did you really give up on us? Is it because we are the army of the East King?

That...... Where do we go from here?

Su Yu once again appeared outside the Jiujiang City Gate.

At the head of the city, countless eyes were staring at him.

But this time, there is no hostility.

Su Yu said loudly: "Where is General Lin Qirong?" ”

At the head of the city, Lin Qirong showed his face and said loudly: "General Su Yu, I will open the city gate again, do you dare to come in?!" ”

After that, the gate of Jiujiang City slowly opened again.

Everyone was greeted with a sense of familiarity.

Right now, just like that moment!

Su Yu took the lead and rode across the pontoon bridge of the moat.

Then, directly entered the Jiujiang City Gate.

Then, Su Yu ordered loudly: "The new army enters the city!" ”
