Jiujiang Prefecture is known as "Wu Tou Chu Tail". The city is high and the pond is deep, but unfortunately there are too few defenders. There are only 10,000 defenders, plus the thousands of Li Jianjie's troops who fled back, there are only 11,000 soldiers and horses. In 65,000
Under the siege of Qianqing soldiers, Nanxun Gate and Penpu Gate were captured after only two days of defense.
"Commander, the city is broken, please quickly open the Fuxing Gate and retreat from Lao Sheng Pond into the Yangtze River. It will be too late", Li Jianjie advised Zhenshuo Deputy General Gao Bizheng to retreat.
"General Li, do you know where Old Stork Pond is?"
"I know, it's the place where Yue Wumu trained his navy."
Because Yue Fei had trained naval forces in Laoyuantang, Fuxing Gate was renamed Yue Shimen during the Qing Dynasty. Ordinarily, the Qing court claimed to be a descendant of the Jin people and should hate Yue Fei. However, they respected Yue Fei so much that they changed the name of the city gate to commemorate it.
.It’s also a strange thing.
Gao Bizheng sighed: "The supervisor hopes that my commander will be Yu Yunwen who defeated the Tatars. My commander is incompetent and failed to defend Jiujiang. Today is the time to learn from Yue Wumu and serve the country with loyalty. You should lead my commander's generals from Fuxingmen
Arrive at Nanhuzui and order the defenders to quickly withdraw along the Yangtze River to Xingguo Prefecture."
Li Jianjie refused, "Commander, come with us."
Gao Bizheng was furious and said, "Vice General Li, how dare you disobey military orders? If you continue to be nagging, you will not be spared."
Li Jianjie had no choice but to bid farewell to Gao Bizheng and evacuate to Nanhuzui in a small boat.
"Brothers, today is the day when my commander-in-chief commits suicide and becomes a benevolent man. Those who are willing to follow my commander-in-chief to kill the enemy will stay. If not, please retreat from Fuxing Gate as soon as possible.
Gao Bizheng summoned the remaining three hundred soldiers around him to prepare for a desperate assault.
General Qian of the Guards smiled: "What did the commander say? There is no coward among us Shaanxi men."
Gao Bizheng was from Mizhi, Shaanxi Province, and the three hundred soldiers were all fellow Shaanxi residents. Most of them were old brothers from the army who had rebelled with Li Zicheng. None of them wanted to leave Gao Bizheng and escape.
"Okay! I'll be brothers with you all in the next life."
Gao Bizheng led 300 soldiers to attack the Qing troops entering the city. Apart from killing people, there was no sound at all, not even a cry of killing.
"Kill Zhang Jing! No one will be spared." Jia La Zhang Jing Bashan commanded his men to break into houses, kill and rob.
He is an expert in doing this kind of thing. How can the Eight Banners be qualified to be the Eight Banners if they neither kill nor rob? In fact, according to military regulations, looting is not allowed until the battle is over. However, the Eight Banners has been in the customs for more than seven years and has gradually become corrupted.
Military regulations are not enforced as strictly as before. Generals at all levels often turn a blind eye to such things, and their share of the looted property is indispensable.
Just as we were robbing and killing happily, Gao Bizheng rushed in.
Bashan didn't have time to summon his men who were looting everywhere, and led hundreds of men to fight. He didn't take it seriously. The Han people were always cowardly, and they would collapse after a quick charge.
"Kill", the Qing army charged towards the Ming army with a ferocious smile.
This Ming army was very strange. They made no sound at all and only silently attacked people. Even if they were injured, they did not cry out in pain.
The Qing troops were cut down like watermelons and stabbed to death.
The more Bashan fought, the more frightened he became, and he suddenly turned around and ran away.
Gao Bizheng was swinging his knife and wanted to pursue him. He dodged a dark shadow as fast as lightning and caught up with Bashan. He cut him in two with his knife, but it was Ma De.
Ma Dechong gave Gao Bizheng a chuckle and said, "Commander, I'm one step ahead of you."
Gao Bizheng glared: "Look what you can do."
After killing the Qing troops, they ran to another street and met Ma Guozhu, the governor of Jiangnan.
Don't speak, just kill.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ma Guozhu turned his horse and ran away, with the Ming army in hot pursuit.
Nikan entered the city and saw hundreds of Ming troops chasing more than a thousand Qing troops. He was furious and said, "Whose subordinates are these? They have completely disgraced our Manchuria!"
He personally led five hundred people to kill him. When he saw Ma Guozhu, he slapped his face with a whip and said, "You bastard, a thousand people are being chased by hundreds of people."
Ma Guo's stigma shrunk and he didn't dare to fart.
Nikan led Goshiha to fight fiercely with the Ming army. The Qing army was far more numerous than the Ming army. Nikan's Goshiha was an elite force, and the Ming army was gradually exhausted.
Gao Bizheng killed more than ten people and shouted before his death: "I have the face to meet the late Emperor Chongzhen!"
??
"What, the Qing army conquered Jiujiang? Where is the commander-in-chief?"
Liu Tichun, the Marquis of Anhui, questioned Li Jianjie who had escaped.
Li Jianjie said with tears in his eyes, "He has died in the city. The commander ordered you to evacuate quickly along the Yangtze River to Xingguo Prefecture."
Liu Tichun was furious, "The commander-in-chief is dead, what are you doing here alive?" He punched Li Jianjie.
Jingguo Hou Yuan Zongdi hurriedly stopped, "The military situation is urgent and there is no time to delay. Now we must quickly collect ships and retreat along the Yangtze River. We need to leave a force to contain the Qing army. Which general is willing to stay?"
Li Jianjie stepped forward bravely, "I will stay in the end".
Liu Tichun was stunned, and then said, "You only have a few hundred people left, and you don't have enough troops. It's better for me to stay here."
The two couldn't argue, and finally decided to stay together.
Yuan Zongdi, Li Yuanyin, Lin Chengcheng, and Li Laiheng all retreated by boat along the Yangtze River. Only Liu Tichun and Li Jianjie's six thousand troops were left at Nanhukou.
When Nikan's army arrived, he personally led his army from the west, and ordered Gushan Ezhen Zhumala to lead his army from the east, and surrounded Liu Tichun and Li Jianjie in the fort on Nanhuzui Mountain.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The Ming army's heavy artillery fired at the Qing army at the foot of the mountain, knocking the Qing soldiers off their backs.
Suddenly, the sound of cannons stopped.
"Why don't you cum?"
Liu Tichun yelled.
"To the Marquis of Anhui, all the cannonballs have been fired."
Li Jianjie said: "Pushing the cannon into the lake cannot be left to the Tatars."
"Yes, brother, you are right, push them all into the lake." Liu Tichun chuckled.
"Bah, who is your brother, Liu Erhu!"
There were seven Liu Tichun brothers, and they were the second oldest, so they were nicknamed "Liu Erhu" among the rebels. At that time, the wealthy gentry Liu Ergong sent his housekeeper Liu Sheng to lead people to force rent, and the Liu brothers took the risk and divided the grain of Liu Ergong's family.
Rice was used to help the victims, and countless people survived. In the Zhuanping area of Shaanxi Province, when the name "Liu Erhu" is mentioned, everyone gives a thumbs up.
Liu Tichun apologized, "Brother, I was wrong to blame you. You are willing to stay and serve as queen. You are definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"
"Humph, I left Jiujiang to come to Zida (Shaanxi dialect: here) to convey the commander's military orders."

"Huh? My brother is also from Shaanxi?"
"Nonsense, if you're not from Shaanxi, how do you know your nickname of 'Liu Erhu'?"
Liu Tichun laughed loudly, "If I want to survive this time, I will drink with my brothers for three days and three nights!"
"Two generals, the Tatars are coming."
The Han army's third-class light chariot captain with a yellow flag, and general Liu Zehong led three thousand sword players to rush to the top of the mountain.
His father, Liu Liangchen, was the commander-in-chief of Gansu Province during the Qing Dynasty. He was killed in action during the suppression of the Hui people's uprising. His uncle, Liu Liangzuo, was once the famous "Flower Horse Liu" in the four towns of Jiangbei in the Hongguang Dynasty. After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he was granted the title of third-class viscount. As a marshal of the Liu Army,
Originally there was no need to personally lead the team to attack the mountain, but this time it was different. Prince Jingjin Nikan, one of the three political kings, was watching from behind, and Liu Zehong wanted to show his face in front of Nikan.
"Swish, swish, swish", arrows rained down from the mountain.
Liu Zehong jumped from left to right and was very agile.
Liu Tichun pulled up the horn bow and shot an arrow, but it failed to penetrate Liu Zehong's shield.
"Brother Liu, you have to use this to deal with the shield." Li Jianjie picked up the gun, squinted his eyes, covered Liu Zehong in the rear sight, looked at the star, lit the fire, and with a "pop" sound, the bullet penetrated the shield and was shot to pieces.
Liu Zehong's head.
When he heard that his nephew was dead, Liu Liangzuo attacked the mountain like crazy.
"Well", Nikan praised, "This Nikan fought well today" and ordered all the troops to attack fiercely.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Generals Tunqi, Beizi Zakana, Cheng Ni, and Han Dai each led their troops to attack the top of the mountain.
Li Jianjie was shot several times and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He smiled intermittently at Liu Tichun and said: "Brother Liu, you said you wanted to treat me to a drink for three days. Cough, cough, I still owe you a drink."
Liu Tichun was crying and laughing at the same time, "Brother, wait a minute. When we get there, there will be enough wine." He chopped one enemy to death with a knife, and then chopped another enemy to death. One enemy stabbed his left side with a gun, as if he didn't realize it.
Kill it with your backhand??
Finally exhausted, he still laughed before he died, "Dog Tatars, the two tigers of Liu and Liu have killed enough today!"
