Three days before the fierce battle, the situation of the two sides is as follows:
There were more than 28,000 officers and soldiers in Jiangxi, 738 were killed and more than 3,700 were injured.
The death rate was 2.63%, and the casualty rate was 13.5%.
It seems that the casualty rate is high, but most of them are minor injuries, caused by falls and sprains when fleeing down the mountain.
A sprained ankle is also considered an injury, and it is also a headache. Soldiers cannot be allowed to limp and charge up the mountain.
Datong had more than 5,000 soldiers, 6 were killed and 47 were injured.
?It seems that the casualty rate is very low, but the rolling stones, rolling logs, and ten thousand enemies have all been used up. The simple fortifications were destroyed in many places, and the soldiers of the Datong Army were far more exhausted than the officers and soldiers, because there were more officers and soldiers and they could fight with wheels.
The real hard battle has just begun.
The Datong Navy has just returned to Ji'an at this moment, and the river course from Zhangshu Town to Fengcheng County is completely dominated by officers and soldiers.
The 400 soldiers brought by Zhang Tieniu and Liu Zhu had to disembark at Linjiang Mansion and go overland to support the Lion Mountain battlefield. The magistrate helped recruit a thousand civilians to help four hundred soldiers transport armor and food. Although the straight-line distance was only 40 miles, several small rivers had to be crossed.
At noon on the third day of the Lion Mountain offensive and defensive battle, four hundred soldiers crossed the last river and entered the mountain to get in touch with members of the peasant association hiding in the mountains.
After asking about the situation, I contacted Li Zheng and Fei Yinggong further north.
"When will the fight start?" Zhang Tieniu asked.
Fei Yinggong said: "Don't worry, Huang Yao hasn't lit the beacon yet, so he can hold it for now."
Once the beacon fire is lit on the Lion Rock, it means that it will soon be unable to hold on.
Li Zheng also said: "It takes more than one day, and the longer it is delayed, the lower the morale of the officers and soldiers."
So, Zhang Tieniu and Liu Zhu led 400 soldiers and joined the ranks of watching the play, watching the officers and soldiers attacking Lion Mountain from a distance.
The west side of Lion Mountain is adjacent to the river, but there are artificial rivers on the other three sides and farther away.
The entire mountain, together with the surrounding land, can be regarded as a large-scale water conservancy facility. For specific functions, please refer to Dujiangyan.
Hundreds of years later in another time and space, Liu Shuai wiped out a regular division of the National Army on Lion Mountain here.
If Li Zheng, Fei Yinggong, Zhang Tieniu, Liu Zhu and others wanted to attack the officers and soldiers down the mountain, they had to cross the artificial river, and they were easily attacked by Zhu Xieyuan halfway across.
Just in the evening of the same day, Zhu Guoxun, the commander-in-chief of Jiangxi Province, sent 200 officers, soldiers and sailors to assist in the battle.
To be precise, they were Zhu Guoxun's personal soldiers, all of whom were confidantes brought from Fujian, and half of the two hundred men could handle artillery.
"Inspector, the cannon is coming!"
"Hurry up and bring it here!"
Twenty Franc cannons were purchased from Zheng Zhilong at a high price. After spending more than half a year, it finally arrived in Jiangxi, and Zhu Guoxun hurriedly sent someone to deliver it.
The morning of the fourth day.
The simple fortifications that were destroyed on the mountain were repaired overnight.
Twenty French cannons were carried to the half-hillside for assembly, and began to fire at the fortifications and positions.
"Boom boom boom!"
The first round was a test firing, and only one shell hit the target.
Hundreds of steps away from Hu Dinggui, another brigade's defensive area, the simple fortifications were blasted open a gap.
Although the power of the Fran cannon is small, the fortifications of the Datong Army are not strong.
"Boom boom boom!"
It was another round of salvo, and the firing rate of the Franc machine gun was very fast. The standard configuration of a cannon is five sub-guns. Each sub-gun can be filled with ammunition first, and can be fired directly after being replaced, which is a bit similar to a rifle magazine.
In the 30-man brigade in that position, two people were killed by shells in an instant, and one person had his arm broken.
The rest of the soldiers ran away one after another.
"Boom boom boom!"
Another salvo.
Only one person was killed this time, but the morale of the Datong defenders dropped rapidly, and they were considered elite soldiers if they did not collapse on the spot.
"Defend my hometown, protect my fields!"
Scholar Wan Huaxin started to attack the mountain with self-recruited courage. After he went into battle on the first day, he had rested for two days and two nights.
"Boom boom boom!"
When the officers and soldiers charged, another round of artillery hit it.
? While the courage of the township, who has recharged his batteries, his morale is boosted, he is really a little guilty, for fear of being accidentally injured by his own artillery.
Of course the artillery did not dare to fire again, so they took the opportunity to disassemble and carry it away, and cooled the barrel by the way, intending to aim at another position and fire.
"Get up, get up, line up!"
Most of the fortifications here have been demolished.?Able to drink a small amount of mountain spring water, as well as some water stored in advance.
Hu Dinggui suffered two injuries to his legs and one injury to his chest. If it wasn't for the protection of the cotton armor, he would have died long ago.
He ordered a count of the number of people, and there were only 16 people left in his team of 30 people.
However, after abandoning the first line of defense, the second line of defense is more conducive to holding on, and the problem of insufficient drinking water can be temporarily ignored.
Although the officers and soldiers occupy the first line of defense and seem to have made a major breakthrough, the camp at the foot of the mountain has already become noisy.
"Master, you can't fight anymore, if you fight again, there will be deserters!"
"The Zhao bandit from Luling knows how to bewitch, so he must have invited the gods, and every one of the traitors will be killed."
"That's right, more than half of the casualties will not retreat, it must be using black magic!"
"Supervisor Rong, the Xiangyong recruited by the late students is no longer willing to fight. The last attack was defeated after a few casual pokes, and all the Xiangyong were scared!"
""
Adding up the first three days, only more than 700 officers and soldiers were killed.
On the fourth day of the bloody battle, more than 3,100 officers and soldiers were killed in just one day, and there were thousands of wounded in various conditions (most of them were still injured by fleeing and falling).
The death rate has exceeded 10%. The reason why there is no large-scale rout is purely because both sides are scattered on the surrounding hillsides. If the two armies gather to confront each other, based on this death rate alone, the entire army will have already fled.
On the other side of the Datong Army, the casualties in the dangerous terrain were very small.
The really serious losses are in positions with less steep terrain, and the casualty rate of individual sentries has exceeded 50%. In particular, the charge of the Tengjia soldiers caused heavy losses to the Datong soldiers, and they had to give up the first line of defense.
In one day, the Datong Army suffered more than 1,200 casualties.
Among them, 441 were killed, 106 were seriously injured, and the rest were minor injuries of varying degrees.
Casualties mainly came from being too tired, the reaction speed slowed down, the formation became loose, and the impact of rattan armored soldiers.
Otherwise, the Datong Army occupied a favorable terrain to defend, and the officers and soldiers were easily defeated. How could they not even lose 1 to 10 battle losses?
"Supervisor, I can't fight any more!"
There was a quarrel in the big camp, Zhu Xieyuan hesitated, and he was already riding a tiger at this time.
The situation of besieging the rebels this time was completely beyond Zhu Xieyuan's expectations. He has never seen this kind of army, and he can't even imagine in his dreams that there is such an army that is not afraid of death in the world!
If the troops are withdrawn now, even if they can return to Nanchang safely, the officers and soldiers will inevitably be terrified when they hear of the rebels in the future.
The officers and soldiers have been killed, feared at the level of spiritual will.
After that, we will fight again, I am afraid that every time we face each other, there will be countless people who flee from the wind!
But if you don't withdraw your troops today, you won't be able to fight again tomorrow. The rattan armored soldiers can continue to use them, but Xiangyong is tired of fighting. The few attacks in the evening were all pretending to fight, and fleeing after receiving the battle is considered a warrior, and many village braves fled halfway through the charge.
"Every time the drum is tapped, the troops will be withdrawn at midnight!"
It takes about twenty-four minutes at one o'clock, that is, every twenty-four minutes, the Datong soldiers are disturbed by drumming.
While beating drums and preparing to withdraw, Zhu Xieyuan wanted the whole army to flee.
This battle is really impossible to fight, not to mention the siege for eight days, and the siege for two more days, the officers and soldiers will desert every night, and half of them will escape at night after the siege for five days.
After all, Wang Tingshi was a governor, and he was left alone by Zhu Xieyuan.
"Why do the thieves and soldiers die, but the officers and soldiers are intimidated?" Zhu Xieyuan looked at the Lion Mountain and said to himself.
Wang Tingshi said: "The rebels are all allocated to the land. To protect the land, they must die."
Zhu Xieyuan pointed to the barracks and said: "But these brave men are mostly sons of good families, and they fight to keep their own land."
?Wang Tingshi said: "Prime people protect their lands to protect their lives. Gentlemen protect their lands to protect their wealth."
"No, no, there must be more than that." Zhu Xieyuan shook his head again and again.
Not only Xiangyong was afraid of being killed, but Zhu Xieyuan himself was also afraid. Fear and powerlessness were mixed in his heart. He really didn't know how to fight in the future.
The same terrain, the same force, if it is replaced by the conquest of the chieftains of Sichuan and Guizhou, those chieftain soldiers can last up to three days!
Zhu Xieyuan lost confidence in this mountain attack.
The coach is no longer confident, can he still count on the soldiers below? - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
