"Poof!"
Li Dingguo's general Wu Zisheng cut off several spears in front of the formation and stabbed the Qing army on the opposite side into the abdomen.
"Fifteenth", Wu Zisheng counted silently in his heart and glanced at Jin Tongwu nearby.
Jin Tongwu also just defeated a Qing army.
Wu Zisheng thought, Jin Tongwu, a black man, always boasted about his martial arts skills, but he wanted to see who would be more successful after this battle.
Liu Liangzuo saw that the Ming army was attacking fiercely, and the left front of the circular formation was beaten and sunk in.
He said to his son Liu Zehan: "Han'er, you will take my five hundred soldiers to seal the gap in the left front."
Liu Zehan rushed to the front left with a gun and saw Wu Zisheng slashing and killing.
Wu Zisheng was already deeply entrenched in the Qing formation, but he didn't realize it.
A Qing gunman is about to light the match.
"Brush", Wu Zisheng stabbed him down, and his head rolled to the ground.
"Stab him to death," Liu Zehan ordered.
Dozens of Qing army spearmen rushed towards Wu Zisheng.
He picked up the spear and stabbed Wu Zisheng one after another. He cut off one, turned his side to avoid another, lowered his head to avoid another??
"Porphyrin!"
A spear like a poisonous snake pierced Wu Zisheng's abdomen. As he moved slowly, one spear after another penetrated.
His whole body was covered in blood and he slowly fell to the ground.
"Brother Wu!"
Jin Tongwu, who was behind Wu Zisheng, had red eyes, took out his bow and arrow, and shot at Liu Zehan.
"Hahaha", Liu Zehan laughed proudly when he saw Wu Zisheng stabbed to death.
Suddenly, he paused and a long arrow shot from his mouth, piercing the back of his neck.
Time stood still, and Liu Zehan fell suddenly like a fish whose gills were pierced by a straw rope.
Unable to attack for a long time, Zhu Hengjia became a little anxious and ordered Li Chengjue to reinforce Li Mingzhong, Gao Minggui to reinforce Bai Wenxuan, and Ma Jinzhong to reinforce Li Dingguo.
From sunrise to sunset, there was bloodshed and corpses everywhere.
Seeing that it was getting dark, both sides ordered their troops to retreat.
The next day, Tan Tai saw that the Ming army was very sharp and was defending the camp.
"This Tan Tai is indeed a veteran on the battlefield. The camp is well established," Zhu Hengjia sighed.
"Jian Guo, no matter how strong the fort is, it can't stop the artillery bombardment. It's up to me." Zhao Yong, the commander of the vehicle and artillery battalion, asked for orders.
"Well, give me a hard blow!"
Zhao Yong set up forts and artillery carts and blasted the Qing army camp. Tan Tai was not to be outdone and ordered the Qing gunners behind the barrier to fight back.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The deafening roar is like a symphony, resounding on the land of Jiujiang.
??
The offensive and defensive battle of Jianchang City has been going on for five days. Under the bloody setting sun, a flag with the word "Qing" is in pieces, but it still stands.
"Ezhen, five days are up, withdraw." His subordinate Aha asked Gushan Ezhen Zhumala for instructions.
Zhu Mala nodded, "Today we quietly withdraw from the north gate and inform all the ministries to clamp the horses and not make any sound."
"Cha!"
Tan Tai's death order to Zhu Mala was to block Li Chixin's troops for ten days.
Zhumala decided to stay in Jianchang and De'an for five days each.
This night passed quietly.
The next day, Li Chi led his troops to attack the city, only to find that the Qing army had deserted the city.
"Commander, the strength of the Qing army has not been lost. If you suddenly withdraw your troops, I'm afraid there is a trick!"
"Commander, something is wrong with this matter. The Tatars only defended it for five days, why did they escape inexplicably?"
Gao Bizheng, Yuan Zongdi, Lin Chengcheng, Li Laiheng and other generals all felt that there was a fraud.
"Okay, don't make any wild guesses. We'll keep Jianchang City secure until the scouts come back."
Soon, the scout came back and reported that the Qing army had withdrawn north to De'an.
Li Chixin became even more suspicious. Did he want to ambush me in De'an? No matter how many there are, my 50,000-strong army is still afraid of your more than 20,000 soldiers and horses? Order the three armies to pursue carefully.
??
"General, there is a letter from Zhuma Laerzhen. He has withdrawn to De'an and is currently confronting the Ming army." His subordinates reported to Tan Tai.
Tan Tai sighed: "What day is today?"
"Back to General, it's the seventh day."
Tan Tai was very depressed. The time was coming, but his combat goal had not been achieved.
Before coming to Jiujiang, although he had few troops, he was very confident that he could defeat the Ming army. The reason was that when he went south this time, he brought 30,000 Manchu Eight Banners and 20,000 Mongolian Eight Banners. He gave 20,000 to Zhuma Lahou,
There are still 30,000 cavalry on hand.
There are less than ten thousand people in Manchuria, but ten thousand people are invincible.
Tan Tai firmly believed that with the combat power of his 30,000 cavalry, he could defeat the Ming army in a few charges. So he rushed to Jiujiang, selected the battlefield, set up camp, and planned to annihilate the Ming army in the central area of Jiujiang.
In order to prevent the Ming army in Wuchang from joining up with the Ming army in Nanchang, Tan Tai strictly ordered Zhumala to hold off Li Chixin's troops for ten days.
He felt that within these ten days, he could completely defeat the army of the puppet King Mingjing, and then go south to eliminate Li Chixin's tribe.
Unexpectedly, the army of the pseudo-King Jing of the Ming Dynasty was very difficult to deal with. Not only was it large in numbers, but it was also well-equipped with complete armor and sophisticated firearms. It also had high morale. It fought to the death and refused to retreat. It was different from the Ming Dynasty that it had encountered before.
The army was completely different. After fighting for seven days, not only did I not defeat the Ming army, but I was suppressed by the Ming army. If I hadn't been careful and the camp was strong, I might have been defeated at this moment.
A truly powerful enemy that is rare in life!
If you can't fight, go. Jiujiang is not suitable for cavalry, and our army has few infantry. We can only withdraw to Hukou, Pengze, and Duchang to the east of Jiujiang Prefecture, relying on the natural danger of Poyang Lake.
.
Tan Tai called He Luohui, Liu Liangzuo, Tan Bu and Yue Erduo to discuss.
"Everyone is discussing how to retreat safely?"
"General, you can abandon your food, grass and baggage, and evacuate at night with light equipment. Sprinkle the gold, silver and jewelry we looted on the road along the way. The Ming army will naturally have no time to pursue our army after seeing the jewelry." He Luohui came up with an idea.<
/p>
"He Luohui's method is really good, just do it like this."
That night, the Qing troops withdrew.
Early the next morning, it was discovered that the Qing army had withdrawn, and Zhu Hengjia hurriedly led his troops to pursue him. Along the way, he found gold, silver and jewelry discarded by the Qing army. The direct troops were okay, able to strictly observe military discipline, and continued to pursue the enemy without hesitation, before defecting to the rear.
There were rebels and surrendered troops, and military discipline was much worse. They scrambled for property and blocked the roads.
I cut off dozens of heads at once to stop this chaotic situation.
Zhu Hengjia was secretly vigilant. After successive battles and victories, the army had expanded too quickly and was a mixed bag. It would not be possible without purges. After Jiujiang was captured, it was necessary to stop and rectify military discipline.
After this delay, Tan Tai's troops safely evacuated to Dehua County, Jiujiang Prefecture. When they arrived in Dehua, they found that Zhumala had also arrived.
It turned out that Tan Tai sent someone to inform Zhu Mala to abandon De'an and come directly to Dehua. Zhu Mala traveled day and night and actually arrived in Dehua at the same time as Tan Tai.
Time is life, Tan Tai did not dare to rest, so he took Zhumala directly to Poyang Lake, crossed Poyang Lake by boat, and relied on the natural dangers of Poyang Lake to stop the Ming army.
Hearing that Tan Tai had withdrawn to the east bank of Poyang Lake, Zhu Hengjia secretly admired Tan Tai's troops, which were as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as aggressive as fire, and as motionless as a mountain. He was a truly good general!
After joining forces with Li Chixin, the Ming army tried to cross Poyang Lake by force. After losing more than a hundred small boats, they gained nothing.
In this western expedition, Zhu Hengjia captured two strategic locations: Wuhan, a thoroughfare to nine provinces, and Jiujiang, a thoroughfare to seven provinces. He gained a lot, but it took time to digest the fruits of victory.
He decided to change Changsha as his capital. He took Li Dingguo, Bai Wenxuan, Zhao Yong, Li Chengjue, Gao Minggui, Ma Jinzhong, Qin Yuchun, Yao Youxing and others to move to Changsha. He ordered all the concubines in the harem and officials of the six ministries to move to Changsha. He also appointed Li
Chixin was appointed deputy general of Zhenshuo, admiral of the chief military officer of Jiujiang, stationed in Jiujiang; Li Mingzhong was appointed as general of Zhenshuo, admiral of the chief military officer of Jiangxi, stationed in Nanchang.
On this day, I arrived in Nanchang. Zhu Hengjia thought that he had left calligraphy treasures on the three famous towers in the south of the Yangtze River, Yueyang Tower and Yellow Crane Tower. There was no reason not to leave a masterpiece on Tengwang Pavilion.
Then he led hundreds of civil and military officials to the Tengwang Pavilion and composed a poem called "Lang Tao Sha" which said:
Langtaosha·Tengwang Pavilion
Looking up at the sky, who is the hero?
Looking at Jiangdong from Tengwang Pavilion.
Running thousands of miles to nowhere, this hatred is endless.
The battle is hard and hurried, but we can all be calm.
The peach blossoms are stained red with blood.
I hope that next year the flowers will be more beautiful and the flowers will be more beautiful.
