"General, the Qing army has crossed Xingzi City. Immediately send someone to order the Marquis of Ying to lead his army to withdraw to the Ruichang area and rely on the water to defend it!"

"General, please quickly send troops north to De'an to guard the Boyi River. Even if it doesn't work, we must guard the line of Xiushui, otherwise Nanchang will be in danger!"

"General, please ask the prison country for help quickly"??

As soon as they heard that the Qing army had captured Xingzi City, Jiangxi Governor Jiang Riguang, Governor Jie Chongxi, Inspector Wang Jiezhi, Chief Envoy Fan Kuang, and Inspector Chen Zizhuang became anxious, and all offered their advice and suggestions to General Zhenshuo Li Mingzhong.

Li Mingzhong is also a veteran general and is famous for his good defense in the Ming army. In fact, he can also attack. When Zhu Hengjia invaded Huguang in the north, he was the vanguard. He quickly defeated Shang Kexi's army and captured Hengyang City.

When he heard that Xingzi City had been lost, the old general was not afraid of danger. He sent his troops to report to Zhu Hengjia. At the same time, he ordered his generals Chen Shangchuan and Li Shiyuan to lead 15,000 troops to defend De'an. Deng Yao and Liu Yipeng led 15,000 troops to guard De'an. To build water defenses, Yang Yandi led 10,000 troops to join Zhou Jintang, Li Changrong, and Zhou Quanbin's 10,000 naval divisions to defend the west bank of Poyang Lake.

"General, just ahead is Lushan Mountain. After crossing Lushan Mountain, you can go straight to Jiujiang Prefecture to govern Dehua County. With your power, Dehua City will definitely come down in one go." Ma Guozhu, the governor of Jiangnan, said to Nikan with a flattering smile.

It is said that he is also a veteran of the Huang Taiji era, a veteran traitor with the same reputation as Gao Hongzhong, Bao Chengxian, Ning Wanwo, and Fan Wencheng. Unexpectedly, he flattered Prince Jingjin Nikan without caring about his face. It is really shameless.< /p>

Nikan happily accepted Ma Guozhu's compliments. While holding the horse's belly with his legs and moving forward, he waved to Ma Guozhu, who was half a horse's head behind him. "Ma Duxian, come to the front and keep pace with me. This way Convenience for discussion.

"Thank you, General, for your kindness!"

When he heard that Nikan asked him to come forward, Ma Guozhu was so happy that his face glowed red. Even though he had joined the Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army and was qualified to call himself "Aha" (slave), in front of the real bannermen, he had no If you dare to take a big shot, you can't wait to drop your head on your knees. Now, the Prince in charge, let yourself come forward to answer. My dear, what a great grace!

After Nikan showed his kindness, he continued to ask Ma Guozhu: "Ma Douxian, you have been an official in Jiangxi and Jiangxi for many years. Do you know who the Lushan guard is? How many soldiers and horses does he have?"

"General, there are 3,000 people from the Puppet Ming Lieutenant General Li Yuantai stationed in Lushan; 4,000 people from the Puppet Ming Dynasty Lieutenant General Li Jianjie's army are stationed in Changling and Qingshan Town on the flanks of Lushan."

Nikan laughed loudly: "In such a military important place, there are only a few thousand soldiers and horses. This Gao Bizheng really doesn't know how to fight!"

Ma Guozhu hurriedly greeted him and said: "This is the great general's clever plan. There were originally three thousand soldiers and horses of Li Yuanyin's army stationed here. You pretended to attack Nanhuzui, confused Gao Bizheng, and transferred Li Yuanyin to Nanhuzui. The three Lis are all Li Chengdong's adopted sons. Especially Li Yuanyin is the best at fighting. Without Li Yuanyin, it would be easy to go down Mount Lu!"

This is the brilliance of Ma Guozhu. He did not mention Hong Chengchou at all, but attributed the ingenious plan of "attacking Nanhuzui openly and seizing Xingzi City secretly" to Nikan.

Nikan beamed with joy and became more and more pleased with Ma Guozhu.

"Order Han Dai, Basi Han, and Mu You to advance quickly and capture Lushan and Qingshan Town."

"Order Zakana, Yild, and Alashan to quickly capture De'an and cut off the Nanchang Ming army's aid to Jiujiang"??

After understanding the military situation, Nikan issued military orders one after another.

Although the attack on Xingzi City was a lucky success, the Qing army also suffered 5,000 casualties. Nikan ordered Jiangxi governor Cai Shiying to lead 10,000 troops to garrison Xingzi City, and ordered Beizi Zakana to lead Yilde and Alashan generals of 25,000.

The soldiers and horses captured De'an City, and he personally led an army of 70,000 to attack Jiujiang.

??

Gushan Ezhen Han Dai, Basi Han, and Mu You led 15,000 Manchu and Mongolian Han Eight Banners to trek among the peaks of Lushan Mountain.

"Kuanglu is the most beautiful in the world". Lushan Mountain is both beautiful and large, with more than 90 peaks, large and small. Li Yuantai only had 3,000 soldiers and horses, so it was impossible to guard every peak. He guarded the main peak, Hanyang Peak. This peak

More than 440 feet high (1,474 meters), it towers into the clouds and has extraordinary majesty.

Li Yuantai's camp was set up on the Han Terrace at the top of the peak. He got up early and went to Yuwang Cliff in front of the Han Terrace to look at the peaks.

"Huh? Something's wrong. Why are there no birds on Zixiao Peak in the south?"

The day before yesterday, some soldiers from Xingzi City fled, saying that the Qing army had landed in Xingzi City. But this speed was too fast, it only took two days to reach Lushan?

Legend has it that on a bright moonlit night, standing on the top of Hanyang Peak, you can see the lights of Hanyang.

Li Yuantai didn't know whether he could see the lights of Hanyang, but he saw the flags of the Qing army in the distance.

"The enemy is attacking! Hurry! Tell the brothers to put on their armor quickly!"

"Woo~woo~woo~"

The horn of attack sounded, and a small team of five Qing troops swarmed forward.

"“, "," 呯 呯 ", arrows, lead bombs flying horizontally.

"General, there are too many Tatars, and our brothers can hardly hold them anymore!"

Li Yuantai narrowed his eyes and said, "Let 'Ten Thousand Enemies' go."

The sergeants brought wooden boxes one by one, took out big black and ugly objects weighing 80 kilograms and made of clay, carried them to the slope, lit them on fire, and threw them down the mountain.

"Boom! Huh"??

There were earth-shaking loud noises, and then they burned in all directions. This thing can be regarded as an early incineration bomb. It caused Li Zicheng to suffer a big loss when he was downstairs in Caomen's Xinzi building in Kaifeng.

"Yeah!"

A Qing soldier's whole body was on fire and he was rolling on the ground in pain. The Qing soldiers around him couldn't help but feel terrified.

In fact, the fatality rate of this thing is not high, but its killing radius is large. If it explodes a lot, it can quickly make people lose their combat effectiveness.

The Qing army's offensive was defeated.

"The last general is incompetent, please punish the general." Han Dai apologized to Nikan with a face full of shame.

"Han Dai, Bashan, Mu You, and you three will lead 15,000 people to surround this peak. We must capture this peak within three days. The rest of the generals will follow my commander to attack Qingshan Town.

Please be quick and set off immediately!"

"Da da da!"

Dorobeile was stationed in Qi, and First Class Bo Chengni led 20,000 troops to attack Changling. Changling was not as dangerous as Lushan Mountain, and Li Jianjie's soldiers were small and unable to resist, so he withdrew to Qingshan Town.

This is a small town, no more than ten feet high. After several rounds of shelling, the wall collapsed.

Li Jianjie had no choice but to retreat to Dehua City.

At this time, the battle in Lushan was over, and Hanyang Peak became a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Gushan Ezhen Han Dai, Basi Han, and Mu You were originally the vanguard. Because they did not capture Hanyang Peak in time, Nikan was left to clean up the rear. The vanguard became the rearguard. The three Manchu generals felt very shameless and got angry.

Be ruthless, attack each side, and charge the mountain yourself.

The Ming army had few soldiers and exhausted its "ten thousand enemies". After killing thousands of enemies, the Qing army rushed to the top of the mountain.

Li Yuantai was covered in blood and was still fighting to the death. His spear flashed and he killed countless enemies.

Looking at Li Yuantai who was surrounded, Bashan sighed to Han Dai, "I thought the Han people were weak, but when we fought this way, I didn't expect that the enemies we encountered were all so tenacious. It seems that this attack was not easy!"
p>

Morale is actually created by fighting. Because Zhu Hengjia won many battles and successively captured Huguang, Jiangxi, Sichuan and other places, and there was hope for Mingzuo's revival, the morale of the Ming army was naturally high, and there were naturally fewer troops surrendered. If there were fewer troops surrendered,

The Manchu generals suddenly felt that the battle was getting harder and harder to fight.

Han Dai yelled at Mu You: "Mu You, you are a famous warrior in Manchuria, and this man is also a warrior. Give him a death like a warrior."

Mu You held a tiger gun and forced Li Yuantai.

He shouted to the left and right: "You all stand down and let me fight him alone."

It seems fair, but Li Yuantai has been seriously injured, but Mu You has no injuries.

Gun to gun, the two guns are about the same length. The difference is that the gun head of Muyou's gun is thicker and thicker.

The Tiger Spear, also known as the Tiger Spear, is eight feet and three inches long, with a nine-inch blade, a ridged head, and a rib in the middle. It is used by Manchu warriors when hunting tigers. Even if the tiger's skin is thick and its bones are dense, it can

The blow penetrates and cuts the muscles, veins, bones and flesh.

"Bang bang bang", the two fought fiercely for dozens of rounds, and Li Yuantai gradually became exhausted.

"Poof", the sharp spear point pierced the abdomen.
