Xiao Qijiang is the first powerful general under Liu Changyou. This Hunan mule is also very dedicated. He shouted loudly: "Changyou, let's look at my skills today!"

In just a few minutes, the Hunan Army that had been fighting out retreated like a tide, and even worse news: "General Xiao Qijiang was killed in battle, Lord Xiao Qijiang was killed in battle!"

As soon as Xiao Qijiang died, Liu Changyou's army retreated like an avalanche of snowballs under the attack of two infantry regiments of the Hong Army, and even pushed the formation of infantry behind them.

The attacks from other aspects also stopped. They could see clearly that the Hunan Army would not try to please today's battle, but now it was the Hong Army's turn to attack.

"attack!"

"attack!"

Whether it is the Taiping Army in Linjiang County, the newly affiliated Citi Army, or the old troops of the First Army, they are now free from the embarrassment just now and launched waves of counterattacks.

"Shishou, Shishou..." Bao Chao was covered in blood, but he ran back to Zeng Guofan again: "Liu Changyou's army was defeated. I led the team to rush twice. Not only did I not stop the Red thief, but I lost two horses instead!"

Zeng Guofan rode on the horse, his face was pale. Although he had suffered defeat in Jinggang and north of Jiujiang, there had never been a battle that made him so embarrassed.

Today's battle has lost control. Only red flags are everywhere, and defeated soldiers in number clothes are everywhere. The battle flags that once stood out in several provinces have been abandoned on the ground. Many loyal and brave soldiers of the Hunan Army are now kneeling on the ground and dare not look at the bayonets of the Hong Army.

Bao Chao had already held Zeng Guofan's horse and said loudly: "Mr., please retreat quickly!"

Just a few hundred meters away, the bayonet of the Rainbow Army's vanguard was already flashing with cold light, and Zeng Guofan also knew that Bao Chao was a real brave general. If he hadn't really been able to hold on, he would never have said such words.

Zhao Liewen next to him also said, "Mr., please retreat!"

Zeng Guofan sighed: "I only know today how Lin Shaozhang was in his mood at the beginning. Fortunately, he could survive, and I could survive too!"

He was a staunch liberalist. He had played the trick of jumping into the river and hanging himself countless times, but he cherished his life very much. Therefore, he shouted: "Get back, we retreat to Nanchang City, and we will defend the city!"

Bao Chao asked loudly, "We are still defending the city?"

"That's right!" Zeng Guofan said firmly: "Defend the city! If you can't defend Nanchang, the whole province of Jiangxi can only be given to the Red Thief!"

However, when Zeng Guofan appeared at the city of Nanchang, his mood was simply described as drops of blood.

He looked at the top of the city. The city gate was completely closed and the suspension bridge was already hanging high. Thousands of Hunan troops were already howling outside the city with tears of despair: "Shima, Shima! Open the door quickly!"

They squeezed into pieces, and one shell could blow up a row of people when they fell, but his way back was blocked. Further away, the Hunan Army's baggage was thrown all over the ground, countless flags were stepped into chaos by footsteps, and the wounded were directly abandoned on the road.

On the battlefield in the distance, there were red battle flags everywhere and sharp bayonets everywhere. Zhao Liewen was still shocked, but he was glad to say: "Mr., today's battle can barely preserve 50% of the combat power of our Hunan Army, which is very fortunate!"
