Chaohu Lake, with its rippling blue waves, is beautiful! It is the place where the famous tyrant Xia Jie was exiled. "He turned into a soup and released Jie in Nanchao".
At that time, Shang Tang rebelled against the emperor and exiled Xia Jie. He wrote "The Shame of Da Jian" to express his shame. In order to make Shang Tang feel at ease, Zhong Hui, an important minister, wrote "Zhong Hui's Edict" to the effect that he has no way and you have the way.
, it is perfectly reasonable to betray the emperor with his ministers. This is the case in history, the victor can write whatever he wants.
In order to become a victor who can write history, Zhu Hengjia ordered Nan'an Hou Hao Yongzhong to lead 20,000 troops to cross Chaohu to capture Hanshan County and Wujiang Town, cutting off the enemy's retreat in Hezhou; he ordered Guangchang Bo Li Yuanyin to lead 6,000 troops to cross Chaohu and eliminate the enemy.
Water, flank the enemy in Chuzhou.
"Marquis Nan'an, this is the farewell, please take care of yourself." Li Yuanyin cupped his hand.
Hao Yongzhong laughed loudly, "This is the time to make great achievements, Guangchang Bo cherishes it."
The two generals crossed Chaohu together and then divided their forces. Hao Yongzhong attacked east and Li Yuanyin attacked north.
??
Once a person's character is formed, it is difficult to change. Hao Yongzhong is still the "Hao Waoqi" in the Dashun Army. When fighting, he likes to charge with the flag and is unstoppable.
After crossing Chaohu Lake, we quickly headed east, heading directly to Hanshan County in Hezhou.
Qinggu Mountain Ezhenshalib and Melezhangjing Gantu knew the importance of Hanshan. Unfortunately, they only had 10,000 soldiers. Facing Zhu Hengjia's 150,000 army, although they occupied a dangerous position, they were still under great pressure. They could not spare any soldiers to defend Hanshan.
, we had to gather two thousand guards, county soldiers (equivalent to the armed police in later generations), post soldiers, and policemen from all over the country to defend Hanshan.
Twenty thousand versus two thousand, elite troops defeating weak troops, the result is obvious. When the Ming guerrilla Yang Mingfeng climbed to the top of Hanshan City and cut off the heads of the Hanshan guards, the Battle of Hanshan ended.
General Zhao Liang reported: "Commander, the morale of the soldiers is very high. Why not work together to capture Hezhou?"
"No, your Majesty means to abandon Hezhou without fighting, to give the Tatars a way to escape north, and then to ambush them at Wujiangdu in the north of Hezhou and annihilate them in one fell swoop," Hao Youzhong smiled.
Guerrilla Yang Mingfeng admired him very much, "Your Majesty is like a god in using troops! This is imitating the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty to destroy Xiang Yu at the Wujiang River crossing and let the Tatars become the overlords of the Western Chu!"
Hao Youzhong kicked Yang Mingfeng with his foot and said with a smile: "You are so dumb that you can't speak. How can a Tatar be so virtuous and worthy of being the overlord of Western Chu? At best, he can only be regarded as a few small fish."
"Yes, yes, yes, the general said something wrong. How can the Tatars compare with the overlord of Western Chu?" Yang Mingfeng said with a smile.
"Hahaha", there was laughter in the big tent.
Wujiang Crossing in the north of Hezhou is the burial place of Xiang Yu. At that time, Xiang Yu refused to cross the river to meet his elders in the east of the Yangtze River, so he turned around and killed hundreds of Han soldiers, but no one could get close to him. The Han cavalry commander Lu Matong chased him
Come. This man is an old friend of Xiang Yu. When Xiang Yu saw him, he smiled and said, "I heard that Liu Bang bought my head for a thousand gold, and I can also live in the city for thousands of households. I will give you a favor now." After saying this, he swung his knife and killed himself.
He died a heroic death! His heroic death made Wujiang River famous all over the world.
Hao Yongzhong ordered Zhao Liang to lead 5,000 troops to occupy Hanshan County and send reconnaissance cavalry to harass the Qing army on the north bank of Ruxu River. He and Yang Mingfeng led 15,000 troops to the north to ambush Wujiang Crossing.
Once we reached the Wujiang River crossing, we were greeted by boundless reeds, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses hidden in them, so we couldn’t even see them.
Hao Yongzhong also took the time to go to the ancestral hall of the Overlord of Western Chu, offered incense to Xiang Yu, kowtowed a few times, and said, "I beg King Xiang to protect me and wipe out all the Tatars at Wujiang Crossing. No one can escape."
??
"Report, Ming army reconnaissance cavalry appeared in the direction of Hanshan."
"Report, Hanshan was lost."
Urgent military reports, one after another, were quickly handed to Shalibu and General Gantu.
This Qing army was led by Shalibu and Gantu was the deputy commander. The two men did not have many soldiers, but they were both elite Eight Banners soldiers. Previously, relying on the natural danger, they managed to stop the 150,000 Ming army with only 10,000 people.
.Of course, the main reason is that Emperor Guangwu does not like to risk his soldiers' lives, otherwise he would not be able to cross the river even if he sacrifices tens of thousands of people.
"Well, the Ming army has captured Hanshan, and Ruxushui can no longer be defended. Hurry up and retreat north to Hezhou," Gantu said to Shalibu.
Sharibu sighed, "I'm afraid that Hezhou has been lost! We must quickly abandon the baggage and retreat north lightly."
The second general went north in panic, and the horses of the Eight Thousand Banners flew away.
The Ming army's cavalry Sun Guangwei's 10,000 cavalry troops followed behind and pursued them closely. If the Qing army had defended according to danger, the Ming army would have suffered heavy losses, but like this, if one escaped and the other pursued, the casualties would be very small.
In the pursuit battle, the Ming army annihilated 3,000 prisoners and suffered only 300 casualties.
Shalibu and Gantu fled to Hezhou, and found that Hezhou had not yet been lost. They couldn't help but call for blessings from their ancestors, led 7,000 remaining soldiers and 2,000 Hezhou garrison troops, and fled north to Wujiang River Crossing.
"Da da da da da", the Qing army's horses were very fast.
Slowly, the horse's speed slowed down. This place is located on the riverside and the soil is soft, so the horse cannot run fast.
"咴聿聿", "咴聿聿"??
A Qing army horse stumbled and fell to the ground. However, it was Hao Yongzhong who arranged countless horse traps and iron caltrops in front, causing the Qing army to suffer heavy losses in a panic.
"Boom boom boom!"
The Ming army's cannons began to roar, causing the Qing soldiers to fall off their backs.
"Attack", following Hao Yongzhong's order, the Ming troops emerged from the reeds and rushed towards the Qing troops from all directions.
"Qian Tu Zhang Jing, you quickly lead the people to clear a bloody path. I will come to the rear to stop the pursuers," Shalibu yelled at Gan Tu.
"嗻!"
Gantu didn't say much, and with the Qianqi beside him, he rushed towards the Ming army with all his might.
"Well done," Hao Yongzhong ordered overjoyed, "The gunslingers lined up and shot me hard."
Three rows of gunners lined up forward and started three rounds of shooting. Behind them was a phalanx of spearmen and sword and shield handmen, leaving a special channel for gunners. Once the enemy cavalry approached, the gunners would return to their formation and defend themselves with their spears.
enemy.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom", the Ming army fired bullets in a continuous stream, and the Eight Banners soldiers fell to the ground one after another. The soft soil and horse pits made it difficult for the horses to run fast, and became the target of the Ming army.
"Dismount and fight on foot," Gantu ordered.
The Qing army dismounted, raised their shields and charged towards the Ming army.
Seeing the enemy approaching, the gunmen returned to the formation. What the Qing army saw was Ru Lin's spears.
There were only three hundred people left around Gantu, but the life and death of the entire army depended on him. He did not dare to retreat, so he gritted his teeth and continued to charge forward.
Seeing that there were only so many Tatars left and they were still charging, Hao Yongzhong couldn't help but be shocked. This group of Tatars was much stronger than the Tatars in Anqing.
"Charge and surround the enemy general in white armor. I will kill him with my own hands," Hao Yongzhong issued the general order.
"Dong dong dong", the marching drum sounded, and thousands of Ming troops heard the order and surrounded Gantu.
"Hoo ho ho", even though he is trapped, he still fights. He has an arm of brute force and two large hammer guns, each weighing forty kilograms. They can smash and stab. They will die if they touch each other. He has killed dozens of people in a row.
Seeing his ferocity, the Ming soldiers beside him did not dare to approach him.
Hao Yongzhong was furious and shouted, "Here comes the spear!"
He took out his iron spear from left to right. Marshal Hao was originally a flag bearer. The ancient flagpole was very similar to a spear, so he was good at using a large iron spear weighing more than 60 kilograms.
"Bang bang bang", the big iron spear and the big hammer gun were fighting together. The spear was longer than the hammer, so it was weak and weak after a long battle, and soon the arms became weak.
"Poof", the spear tip, as fast as lightning, pierced Gantu's throat.
The Ming army's pursuers arrived. Sun Guangwei's, Li Mingzhong's, and Wang Deren's troops surrounded Shalibu one after another.
"Your Majesty, I am sorry that I can no longer serve you." Sharibu did not want to be humiliated and drew his sword to kill himself.
The Battle of Wujiang Crossing has come to an end.
