Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 137 Su Yi captures Jiujiang! Shen Baozhen’s tragedy!

"No, I want to go back at this time. I want to be with my brothers and sisters." Hong Renli said: "I already feel extremely guilty. If I can't be with them at this time, I will never be sorry in my life. .”

Then, she flew towards Jiujiang City.

Su Yi couldn't stop him.

Then, he couldn't help but look to the west.

Although it was night and could not see clearly, he still seemed to see Master Shen Baozhen, who was looking at the Yangtze River.

This person really did not disappoint him.

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

Thank you, Lord Shen Baozhen.

................................................

In Jiujiang City.

On top of the city wall, there are people always vigilant about everything outside.

Because of the heavy rain, the rivers and lakes were beating against the dams all the time, making loud noises.

But the loud noise just now still seemed harsh.

Therefore, the people on the city wall immediately looked in that direction.

At night, I can't see clearly.

What happened.

"Boom boom..."

There was a loud bang.

A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the entire earth.

Then, they saw a horrifying scene. There was a gap in the dam of the Yangtze River, and floods were surging in.

sky! Oh my gosh!

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

And it's a very shrill bell.

"Dang-dang-dang-dang..."

The bells resounded throughout Jiujiang City.

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

Soon, they knew what was wrong.

Because I heard the loud noise of the water, and I have lived by the Yangtze River for so long, I am very familiar with this sound.

"No, someone is digging the embankment!" Zeng Tianyang shouted. This old general had been commanding the navy for a long time, so he was too familiar with everything.

"God damn Qing Yao!"

"Despicable!"

"Cut off your descendants!"

"Is it Su Yi?" Someone immediately shouted and asked.

Zeng Tianyang said: "Marquis Zhongzhen, if the gap is not big, there is still time!"

"The wheat fields in our city will mature in a month. If floods come in, they will be completely destroyed. Our last bit of 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 will plug the gap while you stay in Jiujiang!"

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

When Lin Qirong led thousands of people to the breach of the Yangtze River dam, they found that the place was densely packed with people.

"Get ready to fight, get ready to fight!"

Lin Qirong shouted loudly.

Immediately, these thousands of Taiping soldiers put down their things, picked up their weapons, and prepared to fight.

But the next second!

Lin Qirong and others saw clearly that these people were the new army.

After they took one look at the Taiping Army, they ignored it and continued to work hard even if they were ready to fight.

Everyone was carrying stones and sandbags on their bodies, desperately looking at the breach in the dam as they rushed towards it.

Like ants moving, trying desperately to plug the gap.

Hundreds of torches lit up the area.

Su Yi also discovered Lin Qirong, but remained silent and continued to rush forward carrying the sandbag.

Deputy Commander Wang Shiqing rushed forward carrying a boulder of several hundred kilograms alone.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qirong understood instantly.

The person who destroyed the dam was definitely not Su Yi, but...the damned Shen Baozhen.

By the way, it must be him.

His Hunan army was at a high place, so the floods could not reach it.

But Su Yi and his Taiping troops are at a low level and will be flooded.

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

Next, thousands of Taiping troops also rushed forward crazily, desperately using various things to block the gap.

Use various bags and fill them with soil to remove the blockage.

Block it with boulders.

Even use wood to block it.

For a time, Su Yi's 2,000 new troops and Lin Qirong's several thousand Taiping troops rushed to block the flood gap.

It's completely unclear who is who.

Just race against time.

Even when the Taiping Army fell down, the New Army was the one who helped them up.

In this way, thousands of people worked hard for several hours!

at last……

The gap was blocked.

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

Fortunately, the gap is not big enough, otherwise it would be impossible to block it.

But now it's just barely blocked, because the best way to plug the gap is with sandbags, so that there won't be any gaps.

There are still gaps in boulders, wood, etc., so water still seeps through.

Thousands of people still didn't dare to be careless. They found various kinds of cloth, wrapped them in soil, and tried their best to plug various gaps and gaps.

Halfway through, the veteran general Zeng Tianyang came anyway, bringing another two thousand people with him.

Lin Qirong roared: "What are you doing here? No need to defend the city?"

Zeng Tianyang said: "The Queen is guarding the city."

Thousands of people continue to work hard.

Weeds were even found, mixed with soil, to block the gap.

"It seems...it doesn't seem like much water has seeped in."

"Did we succeed?"

"Successful, successful..."

Some young people couldn't help cheering loudly, and then hugged the people around them, and then discovered that the people next to them were not their comrades, but Su Yi's new army, or the other way around.

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

Then, the new army began to eat and took out their own dry food.

The New Army's food was very good, but this was in the wild, so they only had big cakes to eat.

But just this fragrant cake made Lin Qirong's Taiping Army salivate.

The brothers of the New Army took the initiative to attack at this time.

He tore off half of the pie in his hand and handed it to the Taiping Army on the side.

"Come on, brothers, let's eat together."

"eat together."

However, most of the Taiping troops did not move.

Su Yi's new army soldier said: "So what if you eat a piece of my pie? Will I still let you show mercy on the battlefield? After eating my piece of pie, when you see me on the battlefield, you will still directly treat me I'll chop him to death, okay?"

Most of the Taiping Army still did not move, but looked at the general Lin Qirong high up.

Su Yi tore off half of the pie and handed it to Lin Qirong, took a big sip of soju, and handed the flask to Lin Qirong.

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

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

As soon as Lin Qirong ate, all the brothers below also took over the cake from the new army.

The two armies temporarily forgot their hostility and hatred.

Sit down, drink water, and eat pie.

"Rumble, rumble..."

"Clap clap clap..."

There was another burst of lightning and thunder in the sky.

Su Yi and Lin Qirong looked at each other and thought something bad in their hearts.

Sure enough, the rain started pouring down right after.

"No, no, no, no..." veteran Zeng Tianyang shouted loudly, using his hands and feet to climb up the embankment.

"Oh God, Lord Dragon, please don't stop raining, please stop raining..."

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

"It can't rain anymore. Our food harvest will be good in a month. We can't rain anymore..."

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

Zeng Tianyang kept kowtowing and crying.

Lin Qirong shouted: "Come down, come down!"

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

not good……

Although this gap has been temporarily blocked, it is not strong enough and it is a very fragile balance.

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

This temporarily blocked gap may be washed away again at any time.

But now there is nothing to block it with, all the bags are used up, and all the wooden boxes are almost used up.

All the stones have been used up.

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

Lin Qirong said: "No, I am not willing to accept it, I am not willing to accept it!"

And at this time!

Water seeped out of this blocked gap again.

There are more and more places where water is seeping.

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

Veteran Zeng Tianyang looked at this scene in despair.

"boom……"

Then, a hole was torn open where it had been blocked just now.

The floods came again.

Then, the gap got bigger and bigger.

Everyone is desperate.

Veteran general Zeng Tianyang cried out sadly: "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 moment and jumped directly towards the Yangtze River.

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

"boom!"

However, he did not jump.

He was pinned to the ground alive by two people.

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

Unable to commit suicide, Zeng Tianyang lay on the ground and cried loudly.

Su Yi came to Lin Qirong and said, "Brother Lin, this gap cannot be blocked. Your people must make all preparations and go to high places and stand on the roof."

"The food you planted is definitely not safe. It has just begun to grout. Don't lose your life in vain just to harvest this food."

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

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

"goodbye!"

Then, Su Yi loudly ordered: "New Army soldiers, all evacuate!"

Following Su Yi's order, more than two thousand new troops evacuated to a certain place in the east as quickly as possible, and then boarded the ship there.

Time has to hurry, hurry!

"Take care!" Su Yi held Lin Qirong's hand tightly regardless of whether the other party agreed or not.

Then leave!

Lin Qirong watched more and more Guan Yong.

The embankment will burst again soon, and it will definitely not be saved.

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

"Everyone retreat back to the city!"

Then, Lin Qirong and Zeng Tianyang also led thousands of Taiping troops to retreat desperately.

Taking advantage of the last moment, organize the people in the city onto the roof and move all the remaining supplies to higher places.

It's all a race against time!

......................................................

At this time, the Taiping Army in Jiujiang City.

Everyone has been mobilized to move everything to the roof.

There are many people harvesting wheat with sickles.

After Lin Qirong led people into the city.

At this time, floodwaters were pouring in.

"Boom boom boom..."

The gap that had been barely blocked now burst open again.

The raging flood rushed in again. Although Jiujiang is blocked by a city wall and water can't come in at once, the city wall is in disrepair for a long time. There are countless pipes and floods will come in sooner or later.

Lin Qirong picked off a bunch of wheat ears and chewed them in his mouth. The inside had just begun to fill with pulp.

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

"Rescue supplies, get on the roof, get on the roof."

"All to the top."

"All wounded, women, children, go to high-rise buildings with roofs."

"All men, get on the walls, get on the roofs!"

Then, Lin Qirong stood on the top of the city, looking at the place where the dike broke, and the floodwater poured in like a giant dragon.

Full of despair!

And at this time.

Suddenly, a group of people came outside the east city gate.

A total of one thousand and hundreds of people.

Everyone carries a big bag on their shoulders.

It turned out to be the new army.

Lin Qirong was stunned, what... what is this?

Su Yi took the lead and came under the city wall.

By this time, the floodwaters were ankle deep.

Lin Qirong didn't doubt his presence at this time and immediately led the people out.

Su Yi said: "Brother Lin, this is 150,000 kilograms of grain, mostly dry food, and several hundred gunpowder packets. I'll leave it to you."

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

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

"You must resist and wait for me to deliver food."

"Don't die, don't commit suicide. Let your brothers not die, and don't commit suicide."

"Wait until I bring food to save you!"

Lin Qirong looked at the piles of food and Su Yi, he was completely confused.

I was deeply shocked, but completely at a loss.

"Su Yi, I, it's impossible for me to surrender. It's impossible for me to betray the Kingdom of Heaven." Lin Qirong said.

Su Yi said: "Lin Qirong, if I say anything less than surrender, I am not worthy of being a human being."

"Do you think I am someone who repays my kindness?" Su Yi said loudly: "Everyone witnesses that from now on, I will never say surrender in front of Lin Qirong or the Jiujiang Taiping Army!"

"Receive food, receive supplies!"

Following Su Yi's order.

These more than a thousand soldiers put the food on their shoulders on the shoulders of the Taiping Army.

"Evacuate!" Su Yi ordered.

More than a thousand new troops waded through the water and headed towards the fleet to the east.

The water level is getting higher and higher.

Lin Qirong looked at the back of Su Yi's new army, feeling dazed for a while.

"Move the food to the highest place, the highest place..."

A few hours later!

Su Yi's new army left along the Yangtze River in hundreds of ships and returned to Yangzhou.

There is not enough food and supplies.

The most important thing is to free up the battlefield again.

................................................

The next few days.

It rained heavily.

It rains every day, 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 others watched helplessly as the entire Jiujiang City turned into Zeguo.

The water level keeps rising.

Three feet, five feet, ten feet.

And it’s still rising.

If it continues to rise, even the roof will not be able to stay there.

Countless people knelt on the roof and prayed.

Oh God, Lord Dragon, please don’t do this again.

If it rains again, we will all drown.

At this time, Lin Qirong felt extremely grateful.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Su Yi sent 150,000 kilograms of grain.

Otherwise... the brothers may really starve to death.

One hundred and fifty thousand kilograms, each person can share about eight or nine kilograms.

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

This can last longer.

At this time, all the Taiping soldiers knew that all the food they were eating at this time was given by Su Yi's new army.

Suddenly, my mood was extremely complicated.

Lin Qirong and Zeng Tianyang looked at the Zeguo-like Jiujiang City and said slowly: "Mr. Zeng, although Dongwang is dead, we are people of the Kingdom of Heaven in life, and ghosts of the Kingdom of Heaven in death. No matter how good Su Yi is, it is still Qing Dynasty. You demon leader, so surrender is absolutely impossible.”

Zeng Tianyang said: "Although the King of the East is dead, the King of Heaven is ridiculous, and we know in our hearts. But in our hearts, the brothers are still loyal to the King of Heaven, and they still have emotions. Surrender is impossible."

Lin Qirong said: "It is impossible to surrender, but we must repay the favor."

Zeng Tianyang said: "The only thing that can support us at this time is this spirit."

Lin Qirong said: "Live according to your nature. Just go wherever you go. If you can't go any further, you will die violently."

Perhaps the Taiping prayers had an effect.

The next day, the heavy rain stopped.

The long-lost sun came out and the temperature started to rise.

Many Taiping troops seemed to see hope again.

............................................................

And this time!

In the other direction, Wei Jun, the younger brother of Wei Changhui, the Northern King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!

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

Compared to Shi Fengkui, Wei Jun is much stronger.

He is also an old rival of the Hunan Army. In these years of fighting against the Hunan Army, he has won more than he has lost.

Two years ago, he was the one who defeated Wuchang City.

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

During this period, he was fighting well in Jiangxi and was attacking cities and territories everywhere. He did not expect that the Tianjing Incident broke out.

He also suffered a huge mental shock.

But he soon recovered, because he was also considered a winner.

His brother Wei Changhui killed Yang Xiuqing.

The mountain that was weighing down everyone's heads was gone, and the extremely scary King Dong 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 Northern King Wei Changhui both prospered and suffered losses.

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

Today, the army of the Kingdom of Heaven is divided into two places, one is near Tianjing and Anhui, and the other is around Jiangxi.

The Northern King Wei Changhui is in Tianjing with the support of the Heavenly King, so Wei Jun should seize military power in Jiangxi.

The core of Jiangxi is Nanchang.

Therefore, Wei Jun should lead his army to Nanchang.

Wei Jun felt justified, so he led 15,000 Taiping troops northward and stationed in Nanchang. Ever since, the Nanchang Taiping Army at this time had more than 30,000 people. Without Shi Dakai, Wei Jun naturally became the head coach of the Nanchang Taiping Army.

It's just that the original Nanchang general was a subordinate of Shi Dakai, and he was not convinced by Wei Jun.

However, there was no betrayal.

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

......................................................

The weather is getting better day by day.

The temperature is getting higher and higher, and the sun is scorching the earth.

The water level in Jiujiang City continues to drop, and I believe it will dry up soon.

During the whole process, Lord Shen Baozhen was waiting.

His army was stationed in the northwest direction of Jiu. The terrain was high and would not be affected by floods.

Therefore, in this flood, we did not suffer any losses, but got a rare rest.

Although this battle was rushed at the beginning, mistakes were made, causing the army to suffer heavy casualties.

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

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

"Master Shen, we have investigated everywhere and Su Yi's new army has escaped."

"There is no trace of Su Yi's new army within a hundred miles. When the flood flooded the city, the exact casualties of the new army were unknown, but the material damage should have been serious. There were boxes floating everywhere, and their military camp had no time to collect them. It was also completely submerged in the water.”

"This flood completely destroyed everything in Jiujiang City. The wheat that was about to mature was all submerged in the water."

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

Shen Baozhen said: "Continue to record whether there is any smoke from cooking in Jiujiang City, and how many smoke from cooking in a day."

"Yes!"

This time Shen Baozhen was very cautious.

They must wait until the Jiujiang Taiping Army is about to starve to death before they begin to attack the city.

Make sure you get it in one fell swoop.

On the one hand, he is very patient, but on the other hand, he is very anxious.

Because, Su Yi obviously went to Yangzhou to supply supplies, and once the supplies were completed, he would come back immediately.

Therefore, Jiujiang must be captured before Su Yi's new army arrives.

For this reason, he specially sent a fleet to patrol the Yangtze River. Once he discovered Su Yi's fleet, he would report it immediately.

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

under his observation.

The situation in Jiujiang City is very bad.

There are fewer and fewer people on the city wall.

Faintly, there were more and more corpses.

There was also more and more smoke.

However, this is not the smoke from cooking, but the smoke from cremating corpses.

The entire city was once again covered in blankets.

Obviously, this is Jiujiang City's mourning for the dead brothers.

............................................................

In Jiujiang City!

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

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

In the past few days, each person only ate three taels of dry food and drank hot water.

Although he was not hungry, he was actually a little weak.

But without the 150,000 kilograms of grain sent by Su Yi, they would have almost starved to death.

Of course, this flood is not without some benefits, that is, it brings some fish.

But this little 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 Yi's fleet sets off from Yangzhou City again, they will attack the city. Because he flooded the city first, destroying our wheat that was about to mature, and leaving us completely without food. It is certain that It won’t be cheap, Su Yi.”

"Next, let more brothers play the role of corpses, lying around more."

"Then, on the walls, there was drama on the ground, and he fell down with hunger."

"Next, don't light up the fire anymore. Let everyone fill up with cold drinks and drink for free."

"The whole place is full of hunger and death."

"We have to let Shen Baozhen attack the city quickly. We can't waste it any more. If we continue to waste it, we will really run out of food completely. The 150,000 kilograms of food sent by Su Yi will also be used up."

Following Lin Qirong's order.

The situation in Jiujiang City looks even more tragic.

The soldiers on the city wall were dying.

Or even, did he suddenly fall to the ground?

The roads in the city were also filled with people lying here and there, no one knew whether they were dead or alive.

..................................................................

On the hillside in the distance, the Hunan Army observed all this with telescopes.

"Master Shen, it's almost ready."

"In Jiujiang City, there has been a complete lack of food for a long time, and now there is no smoke left."

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

"And now they don't burn the dead people at all, they just leave them there."

"I will eventually see that many people are grabbing dirt from the ground and eating it."

"We can attack the city."

Shen Baozhen shook his head and said: "Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

The staff member said: "Sir, we actually can't wait any longer."

Shen Baozhen said: "Oh? Why?"

The staff member said: "Because they no longer burn the corpses. This is... making a last ditch effort."

After hearing this, Shen Baozhen couldn't help but tremble.

He understood what his staff meant.

Those who were rebellious before burned their dead comrades, but now they no longer burn them.

This... what is this planned to do?

It goes without saying, pointing to the cruelest answer.

Is this to treat people as military rations?

It's just that Lin Qirong has moral sentiments, so he can't make this decision yet.

The staff member said: "Lin Qirong has moral sentiments, but those rebellious soldiers do not. Once someone breaks this taboo, they will all follow suit. Then they will be full, and they will burst out with terrible ferocity! So we have to Hurry up and attack the city."

Shen Baozhen said: "That makes sense, start gathering the troops!"

Half an hour later!

Another scout came to report.

"Sir, flying pigeons carry messages, flying pigeons carry messages, they fly from the Yangtze River ships. Because our camp has only been established for a short time, many carrier pigeons do not know how to return to their nests, so ten of them should fly back, but only Come back with two!”

Shen Baozhen took the secret message from the carrier pigeon and thought to himself: Could it be that Su Yi's fleet is back?

Open it and take a look!

The main force of the Fa Ni navy is attacking, and the distance is 280 miles.

For a moment, Shen Baozhen secretly sighed.

It would be better if Su Yi came, at least they were all troops of the Qing Dynasty. They might take the credit, but they would not open fire on the Hunan army.

But it is not necessarily the main force of the reverse water division.

Lin Qirong is Yang Xiuqing's man. Didn't Tianjing rebel against Lin Qirong and refuse to save him? Why are they sending a large army now?

But no matter what, he must take action immediately.

Immediately, Shen Baozhen ordered: "Gather the army, eat enough, and prepare to attack the city!"

............................................................

In Jiujiang City.

Someone immediately reported Lin Qirong.

"Master Marquis, Shen Baozhen's army has moved, it has moved!"

Lin Qirong loudly ordered: "The whole army is well fed. Each person should not exceed eight taels of dry food. Prepare for battle!"

With an order.

The 18,000 Taiping troops cheered with great joy.

Finally... finally I can eat with ease.

Eight taels of dry food is already a lot.

Everyone took advantage of the cold and feasted on it.

Although this flatbread is very dry, the climate has been too humid recently. Even if it is exposed to the sun every day, it still feels a little moldy.

But... for the Taiping Army who were short of food, they only ate three taels a day, which was nothing more than delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

Everyone ate eight taels.

Then, add cold boiled water.

I am full!

Finally full.

It’s been the first time in two years that I feel full. It’s so comfortable.

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

................................................

Shen Baozhen's more than 10,000 troops gathered five hundred meters away from the Jiujiang City Wall.

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

"And the remaining three or four thousand have long since ceased to be human."

"If this is the case and you still can't take Jiujiang City, then just wipe your neck."

"As you all know, Marshal Zeng was humiliated by Su Yi'er. The Emperor said that whoever wins Jiujiang and Nanchang will be the governor of Jiangxi."

"Right now, the rebellious naval reinforcements are two hundred miles away and will arrive within a few hours!"

"Leave us some time, just three or four hours!"

"Can we capture Jiujiang within three hours?" Shen Baozhen shouted.

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

Shen Baozhen suddenly gave an order: "Attack the entire army and break through Jiujiang City!"

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

Like a tide, it surged towards Jiujiang City.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Above Jiujiang City, artillery began to roar.

However, it is obviously much less than before and much weaker.

The Hunan Army made great efforts, and countless people built pontoon bridges and jumped into the water to cross the river.

He rushed directly to the city wall!

But now!

There was another burst of cannon fire.

The city was originally sparsely populated, but suddenly countless flags were erected.

Countless heads appeared.

Densely packed defenders.

Moreover, everyone is in high spirits, but they don't look like they are going to starve to death completely.

Lin Qirong shouted loudly: "Qingyao Shen Baozhen, you have fallen into a trap!"

"Brothers kill!"

With an order.

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

One powder packet after another exploded.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

At this time, the Hunan army was densely packed under the city wall, and every gunpowder packet exploded, causing huge casualties.

Saw this scene.

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

Why is this happening?

Didn’t the rebels already run out of food and starve to death for a long time?

Aren’t the wheat fields in the city completely submerged by the flood before they were ripe?

Why is this happening?

But now, where is the reason to withdraw the troops?

Since you fell into the trap, you can only follow the trap.

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!

Kill, kill, kill!

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

"The supervising team comes forward. If anyone retreats, kill them all!"

Following his order, the supervising team lined up in order and raised their foreign guns to take aim.

The battle has once again entered the day!

This round is even more brutal than the last round!

The Hunan army had no way out.

The Taiping Army had no retreat.

The two sides began to fight wildly.

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

The Taiping Army killed them off the city again and again.

Lin Qirong, Zeng Tianyang and Hong Renli took the lead.

An hour!

Two hours!

Three hours!

The most intense three hours have passed.

It’s hard to count how many times the Hunan Army has attacked the city.

It is hard to count how many times the Taiping Army defeated the Hunan Army.

Both sides fought one after another.

Extremely brave!

Lin Qirong became more and more frightened as he fought.

He deeply felt that the Hunan Army's combat effectiveness was rapidly increasing. The previous Hunan Army relied on better weapons and better artillery, but was inferior to the Taiping Army in close combat.

But now, even the melee combat level has caught up.

The Taiping Army under his command, Lin Qirong, already has the highest combat effectiveness. But maybe it was because he had been hungry for too long. Although his will to fight was unlimited, his physical condition still declined.

Therefore, in terms of combat effectiveness, it seems that it cannot compare with the Hunan army in front of us.

The Hunan army on the other side became more and more frightened as they fought.

This group of people are crazy. After being hungry for so long, they are already so thin.

But it can explode with such terrifying fighting power.

There is simply no way to kill them all!

After killing one, more will come from afar.

Not afraid of death at all!

The battle between the two sides was extremely stalemate.

It seems like anything is possible.

The Hunan Army seemed to be pushed off the city wall again at any time.

As for the Taiping Army, it seemed that their formation would be broken at any time and their positions on the city wall would be occupied.

Both sides are very brave and their fighting ability is amazing.

Casualties were also extremely high.

But, as time goes by.

Shen Baozhen became more and more frightened and anxious.

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

Once enemy reinforcements arrive and attack from both front and rear, his Hunan army will be in danger.

But... his army did their best.

The rebels who defended the city were so brave and terrible.

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

He felt that his time was getting less and less!

................................................

And at the same time!

Su Yi's fleet has approached Jiujiang City.

The navy of the Taiping Army was just his fleet, flying the flag of the Taiping Army.

"Commander, there is a fierce battle in Jiujiang City!"

"Both sides suffered numerous casualties, and the fight was inextricable!"

Su Yi said: "All artillery, aim at the Hunan Army's positions and prepare to fire!"

"Yes!"

Su Yi's new army was all dressed in Taiping Army uniforms, with turbans and disheveled hair.

Start logging in.

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

Then, the army formed an array.

Dozens of artillery were aimed at the Hunan Army's positions outside the city.

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

With an order.

Dozens of artillery pieces come into play!

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Countless artillery shells streaked across the sky and slammed into the Hunan Army's position.

Then, it exploded!

Artillery is different? Cannonballs are different"

Similarly, whether it is Su Yi's New Army, Hunan Army, or Taiping Army, artillery is bought from foreigners.

However, the Taiping Army purchased relatively few advanced foreign artillery pieces.

"Boom boom boom..."

There were violent explosions.

The Hunan army on the position was caught off guard, and many people were knocked upside down by the explosion.

Immediately afterwards...

Many people came to report.

"Lord Shen, no luck, the reinforcements have arrived!"

Shen Baozhen's vision went dark and he almost fainted.

Li Xubin shouted: "How many people are there in the counterattack reinforcements?"

"I don't know. Thousands of them have already landed, and there is a steady stream of them coming back. There are countless ships on the river, hundreds in total."

Li Xubin trembled and said: "Master Shen, we must retreat immediately, retreat immediately! Otherwise, there is a danger of the entire army being destroyed!"

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

Why did God do this to him?

Are his tactics wrong? Is his layout wrong?

Not at all.

But why is this result?

Two battles and no victory? Instead, he lost his troops and generals?

Li Xubin said: "Master Shen, retreat your troops quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

"We didn't get Jiujiang City, but at least Su Yi didn't get it either. The rebellious reinforcements have arrived and they must have brought a lot of food, so no one can capture Jiujiang City."

Shen Baozhen endured dizziness and looked at the bloody city wall and the ground littered with corpses.

Once again, full of infinite unwillingness, he shouted loudly: "Retreat, retreat!"

"Dang-dang-dang-dang!"

The Hunan Army once again calls for gold to retreat!

But this time the retreat was not so orderly, but fled in a hurry.

Because the rebel reinforcements have arrived, if they don't escape, they will be attacked from both inside and outside.

The Hunan Army threw away all its heavy supplies, used all its speed, and fled toward the west.

But Lin Qirong's men, whose eyes were red with blood from the killings, actually pursued them like crazy.

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

More than an hour later!

it's dark!

The Hunan army had fled without a trace.

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

Then, Lin Qirong was embarrassed.

what? !

It turns out...it turns out to be you.

Me, I thought it was reinforcements.

Then, everyone fell into despair.

Have Tianjing really given up on us? Is it because we are the Eastern King’s army?

So... where should we go from here?

Su Yi appeared outside Jiujiang City Gate again.

On the top of the city, countless eyes were staring at him.

But this time, there was no hostility.

Su Yi shouted: "Where is General Lin Qirong?"

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

After that, Jiujiang City Gate slowly opened again.

Everyone felt a familiar sense of déjà vu.

This moment is just like that moment!

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

Then, directly entered the Jiujiang City Gate.

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