Xishan beacon was raging, and Luo Xiujin, the governor of Qinghuguang in Hanyang City, could not sit still, and urgently ordered Liang Biaoxiang, the commander-in-chief of the navy, to escort Gushan'e Zhenjinli and Liu Zhiyuan with seven thousand soldiers and horses across the Yangtze River. Rescue Xishan.
"Two of you, Xishan is an important military area, so we must not lose it!"
"Don't worry when making the platform, we will save money."
Jin Li and Liu Zhiyuan led their troops and horses. After landing on the riverside, they did not rest and immediately attacked the Ming army.
Feng Shuangli did not expect that the enemy troops from Hanyang would dare to cross the river to fight against him, so he hurriedly divided his troops to resist.
While he was in a hurry, Kong Youde defeated Du Yonghe and attacked from the flank. Li Yangxing, who was on the mountain, saw reinforcements coming and also came down the mountain to kill him.
Under a three-pronged attack, the Ming army was defeated.
Feng Shuangli beat his chest and cried: "Oh my God! How can I have the face to see the prison country!"
He returned to the camp in disgrace and apologized to Zhu Hengjia.
??
After defeating the Ming army, Kong Youde gave Li Yangxing a few words and then led his army back to Wuchang. Jin Li and Liu Zhiyuan also returned to Hanyang.
"Your Majesty, although our army has won a victory, the Ming army will definitely come back again because of the large number of soldiers. It is better to evacuate the princess and the prince from Wuchang quickly," the bodyguard Bai Yunlong advised Kong Youde.
Kong Youde nodded: "It's getting late today, so we'll let them go during the day tomorrow."
You have to run away as early as possible; you won't be able to escape if it's too late.
At the Ming army camp, Zhu Hengjia looked at Du Yonghe's body and cried loudly, "Du Qing, Du Qing, you have worked hard and made great achievements since you were raised in Guangdong. I wanted to share the wealth with you, but I didn't expect that you died in Xishan today! Your great cause has not been accomplished. I lost my arm, but my soul is back!"
This cry made the grass and trees feel sad, and the wind and clouds changed color. Weeping made Li Chengdong's old general Hao Shangjiu and others moved.
In fact, Zhu Hengjia felt relieved. This Du Yonghe was very ambitious. After Li Chengdong died, he actually dared to bribe the generals to give him a post in order to keep Li Jun behind, but he did not agree.
These days, I have both used him and guarded against him. Today, I died on the battlefield and completely annexed Li Chengdong's old troops, and there will be no resistance anymore.
After Du Yonghe cried, Zhu Hengjia asked the generals.
"Which general wants to avenge General Du?"
"I will go there eventually!"
All the generals expressed their wish to go.
Zhu Hengjia secretly rejoiced: Good, the sad soldiers will win!
"Li Dingguo, Bai Wenxuan, Gao Minggui!"
"The end is here!"
"The three of you lead a night attack on Xishan with 30,000 troops!"
"Yes!"
"Zhao Yong, Chen Youlong, Ta Tianbao, Dang Shousu!"
"The end is here!"
"You will take 60,000 troops with you to intercept the enemy in Wuchang!"
"Yes!"
"General Li Mingzhong led 20,000 troops to intercept the enemies of Hanyang!"
"Yes!"
After listening to Zhu Hengjia's military orders, Li Dingguo secretly admired how experienced the warlords were in the military! The Qing army had just won a battle during the day and was already a proud soldier. He never expected that our army would come again at night.
After preparing torches and other equipment for the night battle, Li Dingguo, Bai Wenxuan, and Gao Minggui's divine soldiers attacked Xishan at night.
The defenders of Xishan had just finished celebrating their victory, but they did not expect that the Ming army would attack the mountain again so soon. Caught off guard, except for Lingquan Temple where the Chinese army was located, all other places were captured by the Ming army.
Kong Youde was in Wuchang City when he heard Xishan shouting to kill and soar to the sky, and became restless.
It was getting late, so I went out of the city to rescue him, fearing that I would fall into the Ming army's trick of luring the enemy.
Having no choice but to wait till dawn, he urgently ordered Ahanikan to lead Du Hongchang, and Jia selected two generals, leading nearly 3,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry to rescue Xishan.
Ahanikan rushed out from Wenchang Gate. Zhu Hengjia's 60,000-strong army had already set up a formation. The 30,000 artillery vehicles behind had connected with the vehicle wall, and the 30,000 infantry in the front row had established a spear formation. The defense was like a copper wall. How can thousands of troops break through such a tight military formation?
Seeing that he could not break through the Ming army's formation, Ahanikan had no choice but to harass the Ming army from a mile away.
He is a veteran, and this distance is just outside the range of the Ming Army's Crouching Tiger Artillery.
But experience kills people. What came was not the ordinary Ming army, but the dignified Supervisor King Jing. The army's equipment was naturally good. In addition to small cannons such as the Crouching Tiger Cannon, the Thousand-jin Franco Machine, the Three-Thousand-jin General and other ordinary Ming soldiers There are also many heavy artillery that is difficult for the army to equip. Small artillery can't shoot a mile away, but heavy artillery can.
Zhao Yong, the commander of the vehicle and artillery battalion, was overjoyed when he saw Ahanikan stopped to provoke him a mile away. This is simply a gift of military merit to me!
The 3,000-jin general cannon was too heavy, so Zhao Yong ordered that 120 1,000-jin Fran machine gun trucks be gathered together, loaded with explosive ammunition, and fired at Ahanikan.
"Liu Damao, let me take aim and shoot!"
"Don't worry, general, I'll definitely let the Tatars drink from a pot later!"
The artillery camp guerrilla Liu Damao waved his flag, and countless blazing hot shells were fired at the Qing cavalry.
This kind of explosive bullet contains medicine and is very lethal to people and horses.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Flowering bombs scattered among the Qing cavalry. Zhao Yong paid special attention to them, and most of them fell near Ahanikan's general flag.
"No! The Ming army has heavy artillery. Hurry up and retreat!"
Ahanikan reacted.
Before he finished speaking, a bomb struck and his upper body flew into the air.
The upper body in the clouds muttered a few words and lost consciousness.
After being bombarded and the commander killed, the Qing army hurriedly returned to the city to count their troops and lost a thousand cavalry.
Seeing that the beacon tower in Xishan was lit again, and Jin Li in Hanyang, Liu Zhiyuan's troops hurriedly led 7,000 men and horses to come to the rescue.
Li Mingzhong laughed loudly: "Well done, I've been waiting for a long time!"
The trumpets sounded, and the 20,000 Ming army attacked the 7,000 Qing army. Use the larger number to defeat the smaller number, and wait for the work in leisure.
The Qing army was defeated and corpses were everywhere.
Jin Li and Liu Zhiyuan fled all the way to the river. With the support of the warships of the Navy Prime Minister Liang Biao, they escaped across the river and lost more than half of their troops.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Li Dingguo, Bai Wenxuan, and Gao Minggui led their troops to attack Lingquan Temple in Xishan.
"Marquis Dinglu, our army has captured the main peak. Li Yangxing led hundreds of remaining soldiers to flee into Lingquan Temple."
"Send an order and reward fifty taels of silver to anyone who beheads Li Yangxing."
"Whoosh whoosh!"
A dense rain of arrows shot towards Lingquan Temple.
"Quick! Close the temple gate!"
Li Yangxing raised his sword, but the trapped beast still fought.
With a crash, the temple door and walls were knocked down, and Ming troops poured in from all directions.
"Whoever surrenders will avoid death!"
The Qing troops knelt down one after another as if they heard the sound of nature.

"Asshole!"
Li Yangxing swung his knife and hacked several surrendered soldiers to death. Suddenly, he felt a chill in his heart, and a spear penetrated his body.
When he turned around, he saw that the person who killed him was actually his own soldier, Wang Sanlang.
Seeing Li Yangxing staring at him with a dead look, Wang Sanlang drew out his spear and murmured: "I'm sorry, general, the young ones are older and the younger ones are younger. I really don't want to die."
??
"My lord, my sons and sons have been galloping day and night and are really tired. Do you want them to rest for a night before marching?"
The guard commander Bor Hui asked Babutai, the Duke of Zhenguo, for instructions.
On Dorgon's order, Babutai led 9,000 Manchu Eight Banners and 11,000 Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers, one man and two horses, and traveled day and night to save Wuchang.
Stimulated by the king's cake, the fifty-eight-year-old Aixinjueluo Babutai was not tired at all and was galloping on his horse.
He ordered his men to rest only for two or three hours a day and march non-stop day and night.
Seeing Bor Hui's tired look, Babutai provoked him with words: "What, you are too tired to bear it? Thanks to you, you are still a dignified commander of the army, a warrior among warriors. Can't bear this little pain? Back then, I
At your age, you accompanied Taizu on an expedition and galloped for three days and three nights. Did you ever cry out in pain?"
Bor Hui was so excited that his face turned red and he shouted: "I will never be tired!"
He walked away in anger.
Babutai stroked his beard and laughed: "This boy looks like a tiger like me when I was young!"
In addition to the 17,000 ordinary Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, Babutai also brought two Jia La and 3,000 elite guards during this expedition.
The Guards, called Bagala (i.e. White Armored Soldiers) in Manchu, are the most elite armed forces in Manchuria.
The selection is extremely harsh at the beginning. Bannermen start taking assessments at the age of fifteen. Those who pass the test will be given foot armor, and those who are excellent will be given vests. Then, those who have killed a hundred heads can wear red armor, and those who are excellent at riding and shooting will be selected from the red armor.
For Baya La.
In the early Qing Dynasty, there were only a few hundred Baya soldiers per banner, and they performed the most dangerous military tasks. They could be said to be the kings of soldiers in Manchuria.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they expanded the Bagala camp. The number of white-armored soldiers increased and their quality declined accordingly, but they were still warriors among warriors.
Wuchang was too important. Dorgon was busy suppressing the northern rebels and could not spare many troops to rescue Wuchang. He had to mobilize the 3,000 Bagala battalion guarding Beijing to accompany Babutai on the expedition.
With these three thousand trump cards, Babutai's confidence greatly increased. He traveled day and night and finally arrived in Hanyang.
Seeing Babutai's reinforcements, Luo Xiujin, the governor of Qinghuguang, was so excited that he shed tears.
"My lord, you are here. There are only a few thousand troops left in Hanyang, and Wuchang is even more critical. It is heavily besieged by nearly 200,000 Ming troops and may fall at any time!"
Babutai frowned: "How come Hanyang only has so few troops and horses left? Isn't that a good thing? Where are his tens of thousands of troops?"
Luo Xiujin looked mournful: "My lord, you don't know something. That Shang Kexi was frightened by the Ming army and fled to Chengtian Mansion to avoid the war. No matter how much King Dingnan and his servants begged him, he refused to send troops to save Wuchang."
.
Babutai was furious and said to his eldest son Gabula: "Take my command arrow to Chengtian Mansion to find Shang Kexi. Tell him to quickly lead troops to Wuchang to help in the battle. Otherwise, you will die not only for the country, but also for the law!"<
