Valley Emperor

Genius to remember the address of this site in one second: (apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! There is no force in the hands to rescue Li Xuan in Nanchang. In the end, there is no choice but to order the Privy Council to speed up the Sixth Supplementary Brigade and then strengthen the training and equipment of the two supplementary brigades in Jiangxi, looking forward to two or three months later, these two supplementary brigades will be able to form actual combat effectiveness.

At the same time, suspend the supply of troops in other directions, and give priority to the follow-up heavy equipment, especially the heavy howitzer, to Ganzhou!

The third heavy artillery battalion that is being formed was originally intended to be assigned to the first mixed regiment to cooperate with the Nan'ao Island offensive next year, but now, Li Xuan is preparing to form the third heavy artillery battalion that has not yet formed an army. The artillery battalion was sent to Ganzhou, this time not to attack the city, but to strengthen the defense!

Li Xuan tried his best to start strengthening the strength of Jiangxi. On the one hand, it was to rescue Nanchang. On the other hand, it was actually to prevent the defeat of the 6th Infantry Division. After Nanchang fell, he resisted the Ming army and continued to move south!

Now, the battle situation in Nanchang and even the entire Jiangxi is actually beyond the 6th Infantry Division or even Zhaoqing in the rear. The development of the war situation on the side.

If the main forces of the First Army and the Second Army can quickly conquer Changsha and Hengyang, then after the victory in Huguang is established, the main force of the Datang Army in Huguang will be able to advance eastward. At that time, it will not only be as simple as advancing eastward, but also It was able to enter Jiangxi and even South Zhili with a sweeping attitude.

However, if the First Army and Second Army were unable to open up the situation on the Huguang side and were entangled for several months, then the battle situation in Nanchang and even the entire Jiangxi would be in danger.

Even if the Ming army was unable to conquer Nanchang, which was defended by the 6th Infantry Division, as long as they besieged the city for the first half of the year, the food in Nanchang city would have to be consumed, not to mention the ammunition.

If the Ming army continues to attack, even if it can repel the attack of the Ming army, the ammunition consumption of the 6th Infantry Division will be very large. Although Nanchang can recruit craftsmen to make guns and ammunition, if there are no raw materials, it will only be Can't be made.

Therefore, even if the Ming army was unable to conquer Nanchang, how long the 6th Infantry Division's ammunition could last would be a problem, and if the food was to be eaten up within half a year, Nanchang would definitely be finished by then.

However, the persistence of the 6th Infantry Division in Nanchang is also of great significance. As long as the 6th Infantry Division is in Nanchang for one day, it is almost impossible for the Ming army to let go of its hands and feet and go south to Ji'an Luling and even Ganzhou.

Because the number of the main force of the Ming army is also limited, the combined Ming army on both sides of Jiujiang and Fuzhou is at best 60,000 main force. As for those ordinary guard soldiers and temporary young soldiers, now whether it is the Ming army or the Tang army, In fact, no one took them seriously, and they were already ignored when calculating the strength.

The 6th Infantry Division plus some auxiliary troops, about 14,000 people, if the Ming army besieged Nanchang with 60,000 people, the 6th Infantry Division would have no choice but to defend.

However, if the Ming army dares to divide its troops to the south, if the troops going south are only a few tens of thousands, it will be of no use. If they cannot defeat Luling, they will not be able to defeat Ganzhou. The main force is only 30,000 to 40,000 people. If the 6th Infantry Division comes out to take the initiative to fight, the encirclement of the Ming army will probably be pierced.

Therefore, although the Sixth Infantry Division is dangerous in Nanchang, it is also firmly restraining the main force of the 60,000 Ming army from moving!

Just as Li Xuan was discussing countermeasures at the rear, at the same time, the Ming army had completely surrounded Nanchang!

The 60,000 main force, plus the 30,000 guards and young soldiers from Fuzhou and Nanzhili, a total of 90,000 people surrounded Nanchang!

And this time, the one who led the army to besiege Nanchang was the censor of Youqidu, Du Danqing, the commander-in-chief of the Zuo army!

After besieging Nanchang, Du Danqing observed the city defense on the one hand, and started to build siege equipment on the other hand, ready to launch a general attack as soon as possible to take Nanchang!

Du Danqing led the army to Nanchang, naturally he was ordered by Zhang Yue!

After realizing that the pseudo-Tang bandit army was going to Yuezhou, Zhang Yue thought hard, but he couldn't find a good solution. He simply came to besiege Wei to save Zhao, and directly sent an army to besiege Nanchang. He did not believe in the pseudo-Tang bandit army. Li Chunjing in Li Chunjing knew that Nanchang was under siege and would be indifferent.

However, he really guessed wrong, Li Chunjing was indeed indifferent and continued to attack Yuezhou!

Before Du Danqing besieged Nanchang, Li Chunjing also led the army all the way to the city of Yuezhou, and then he prepared to attack without hesitation!

At this time, the main force of the Second Army led by Li Chunjing consisted of the 5th Infantry Division, the 4th Mixed Regiment, and the Fifth Mixed Regiment, three main units, two heavy artillery battalions, and finally the cavalry troop of the first three main units. The integrated cavalry detachment.

This was also stimulated by the cavalry of the Ming army. The cavalry of the Ming army was generally used in a centralized manner.

Even in terms of the quality of the cavalry, in fact, the cavalry of the Ming army is far more than the cavalry of the Tang army!

The advantage of the Datang Army cavalry is the rigid wall-charging tactics brought about by long-term training!

However, this tactic is useless if the number is small. In the end, Li Chunjing simply gathered all the cavalry in the three main troops, a cavalry battalion plus two cavalry teams, and formed a temporary cavalry detachment. Has more than 600 cavalry!

To guard against the harassment of the enemy cavalry!

After arriving at the city of Yuezhou, Li Chunjing quickly commanded the troops to launch an attack. He didn't waste even a day. In order to buy time and avoid unnecessary casualties, Li Chunjing was posing as a lion and a rabbit!

On the first day of the war, two heavy artillery battalions were put up for fierce artillery fire. Other field artillery also fired intensively, and then the huge infantry unit launched a charge!

The main force of nearly 30,000 people, including 24 heavy howitzers, even had four assault battalions responsible for the first wave of siege!

There is no suspense in this battle. The three thousand Ming army superintendents guarding the city and about 15,000 guards and young soldiers have only supported it for three days before declaring its fall.

However, on the eve of the city's collapse, the remnants of the new supervising army took advantage of the guards to drag the Tang army ahead, boarded the boat prepared in advance, and broke out from Dongting Lake, although some people were intercepted. , but there are still nearly a thousand new troops who have broken through the siege.

In this battle, the Second Army suffered about 500 casualties, but the ammunition consumption was not small. Thousands of shells were destroyed. This is because Li Chunjing deliberately asked the artillerymen to slow down the frequency of shelling in order to save shells. The previous shelling only lasted for half a day.

But there are so many artillery pieces that can't stand the Second Army. It's only for a long time, and it has already fired thousands of shells. The big housekeeper of the Second Army can't wait to treat one shell as the staff of the Second Army for two. Chang'an Zichen was heartbroken.

The current Second Army is out of the house, and the supply line is almost completely stopped. It is good to say that food can be requisitioned on the spot, but the ammunition can't be replenished.

However, although the Second Army spent a lot of ammunition, it finally took down Yuezhou, and also annihilated and captured many Ming troops along the way.

In this battle, among the casualties of the Ming army, over 800 people were killed or seriously wounded in the new supervising army. Nearly 1,000 people in the new supervising army escaped from the siege, and more than 600 people were taken prisoners. traced.

There were more soldiers and young men in the guards, more than 3,000 people were killed or seriously injured, and no one was able to break through the siege smoothly. Except for a very few who escaped, most of them were taken prisoners.

For these prisoners of war, the Second Army's treatment method is not the same as before. In the past, these prisoners of war were generally directly handed over to the civilian officials of the Ministry of War at the rear, and then sent to different places after being selected by the commander.

But now, although there are civilian officials from the Ministry of War in the Second Army, but at this time there is no way to send the prisoners to the rear, so they are dealt with directly on the spot.

After discussions between the officers of the Second Army and the civilian officers of the Army Department, it was decided to simplify the treatment. First of all, officers at all levels. If there is nothing to say, those who are willing to surrender will look at the prisoners first, and those who are unwilling will be directly slashed. Anyway, it is impossible. Let the tiger go back to the mountain!

The more than 600 prisoners of the new army of supervising the standard are coming here. The quality of these supervising soldiers is not bad~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They can become the supervising standard of Zhang Yue's command, and they can hold more than the salaries of the guards. This physical quality Naturally, they passed the test. In addition, they have also undergone a certain amount of training. Although they are not as good as the Tang Army in terms of physical fitness, discipline and tactics, their overall quality is much stronger than that of newly recruited recruits, and they have also fought wars. I think these If people can be absorbed, they can be directly added to the army.

However, in order to prevent unstable factors, we can only adopt the principle of voluntariness. Those who are willing to continue serving as soldiers are not afraid of throwing in thieves, even if they accept it.

The prisoners of war who served as guards only selected about hundreds of them with relatively good physical fitness or special skills, such as special arms such as sword and shield soldiers, cavalry, artillery, etc., and those who were willing to join were also temporarily added to the army. However, it was separately organized into a temporary infantry battalion.

And the rest, there are about 2,000 people with good physical fitness who are left to serve as civilian husbands, and the rest of the old, the weak, the disabled and the like are directly dismissed!

Because bringing these prisoners of war will affect the speed of the Second Army, and the Second Army does not have much food, and now they have begun to rely on 'food for the enemy', the food is relatively scarce, and the Second Army is currently There are also nearly 10,000 soldiers and civilians.

So if you just bring any wool and waste food, you might as well just dismiss it. Anyway, after the weapons are confiscated, there is no organization of Ming army officers. Even if they don't want to go home, they are at best just wandering around as skirmishers. class, it doesn't affect the overall situation.

After winning Yuezhou, Li Chunjing left the Fourth Mixed Regiment, which was good at fighting tough battles, in Yuezhou to guard against the counterattack of the Ming army in Wuchang, and he himself continued south with other troops!

He is going to Changsha! Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
