1854, Zeng Guofan was stationed in Xiangtan, trying to intercept the Taiping rebels heading south. However, because the water war was unfavorable and Xiang was unfavorable, Zeng Guofan also performed two dives in shame. After Zeng Guofan, who dived, was rescued by his aides, Zeng Guofan, who woke up, had to surrender to Changsha, and the Taiping Army immediately occupied Li Xiangtan and Jinggang.
On April 25th, the deputy commander of the Xiang army, Tachibu, led the Xiang army to the outside of Xiangtan, and Jiang Zhongshu, the battalion chief of the Xiang army, led 2,600 people to support it. Tachibu thought that the Taiping Army would attack on behalf of the enemy in every battle, and then take the enemy as the main force. When the Taiping Army is firmly established, it will attack the defense line, so it will be an arduous task. So tazib decided to attack immediately.
Then Xiang immediately stormed the Taiping Army, and the Taiping Army immediately fought back. The two sides fought fiercely in the northern suburbs of Xiangtan for several days. After hearing the gunshots, Taqib ordered Xiang to lie down on the ground immediately, and immediately got up and attacked after the gunshots stopped. In this way, Xiang pounced on the Taiping Army camp, and faced with Xiang's crazy counterattack, the Taiping Army also made fierce resistance.
However, due to the unstable foothold in Xiangtan at first, and the fact that Taqibu was at the forefront of every attack, the Xiang army fought back to the death, and the Taiping Army gradually became exhausted. On the 27th, Zeng Guofan sent the navy division of the 5th battalion of Xiang Army to support Xiangtan. The navy division of the Xiang army was subjected to heavy artillery fire, and the water army composed of civilian ships was beaten out of the water. In three days, the Taiping Army lost thousands of ships and killed and injured tens of thousands of people. Because of the losing streak, there are contradictions and fights between the new veterans of Taiping Army.
Finally, Lin led the Taiping Army to the north by boat, but was caught up and defeated by the Xiang Navy. Lin had better go back to Xiangtan, but when the Xiang army ambushed at the gate of Xiangtan and the Taiping rebels in the city opened the gate to meet Lin, the ambushed Xiang army rushed into Xiangtan, and after a bloody battle, the Xiang army occupied Xiangtan. In the first world war, 10,000 Taiping rebels were completely annihilated, and finally only Lin led five people to break through. Since then, the Taiping heavenly kingdom's western expedition has been frustrated for the first time, which is also the first large-scale fiasco of the Taiping heavenly kingdom. This war made Taqib famous in one fell swoop, and after the war, Taqib rose to the third level. What do you think of your friend? Welcome to leave a comment!
