"This Ying Xiang is so brave, he dares to disturb my commander's food route!"
Yan Zungao had been unable to attack Kaifeng for a long time, and he was furious, but some people who were not afraid of death came to stroke his tiger beard. Zhang Yingxiang, the commander-in-chief of Nanyang of the Qing Dynasty who was guarding Suizhou, was ordered by Li Yinzu to harass the Ming army's food road. He was Governor Li's confidant and carried out military orders.
He was very determined and led 5,000 men from Suizhou to Qi County, Tongxu, and ambushed a Ming army grain transport team.
This was mainly due to Yan Zungao's carelessness. Unexpectedly, Suizhou, which only had 5,000 soldiers, dared to take the initiative to attack its own rear.
"Hmph, it seems that we can't concentrate on attacking Kaifeng unless we defeat Zhang Yingxiang." Yan Zungao said to himself, and sent deputy general Liu Wenxiu to lead ten thousand troops to defeat Zhang Yingxiang. He was assured of Liu Wenxiu's ability to fight.
of.
Zhang Yingxiang, the commander-in-chief of Nanyang in the Qing Dynasty, is very famous in Nanyang area. This originates from a legend of dog beating.
That year, the deer in the Central Plains were getting fat!
Li Zicheng besieged Nanyang. The general soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were as fierce as tigers and defended the city. The city was broken. They fought in the streets with short soldiers. They shouted for attack and their sleeves were filled with blood. They passed the north gate of Tang Mansion and kowtowed to thank him before they died. Then Lao Li went north to open the seal, and Sun Chuanting led his troops to rush to rescue him.
, beating back and forth in Nanyang. Lao Li simply massacred the city of Nanyang. "Bodies were strewn all over the ground inside and outside, men, women, old and young were lying on their backs. The houses and alleys were filled with no place to stay."
In the third year of Shunzhi, Zhang Yingxiang was in charge of the town of Nanyang. He was shocked. Dead bodies were everywhere, bones were piled up, the smell was pungent, no people were seen, and there were hordes of rabid dogs. These dogs fed on carrion and fought and bit each other. If anyone entered the city, they would be killed.
Wild dogs accustomed to eating human flesh attacked him.
"In this case, we have to beat the dog first!"
He ordered the construction of wooden cages and the installation of wheels. The soldiers climbed into the cages, holding sharp spears in their hands. They were pulled by horses and ran into the city, stabbing dogs through the cages. It took more than a month to kill all the wild dogs inside and outside the city.
Because of this legend, the people of Nanyang call him the Chief Dog Fighter.
If there are too many dogs to kill, things will be very bloody. Zhang Yingxiang was not afraid of fighting because of the small number of soldiers. He marched down several counties and harassed the Ming army's food routes, which caused a lot of trouble to Yan Zunyi.
"Report to the town, traces of the Ming army were found near Chenliu, about ten thousand people", Zhang Yingxiang was enjoying his guerrilla activities, and the scouts came to report.
"Return to Suizhou", he is not stupid, he knows that he has few soldiers, and tries to avoid confrontation with the Ming army.
The five thousand well-trained Green Camp quickly returned to Suizhou with a gust of wind.
Liu Wenxiu did not want to let him go. If this person is not eliminated, there will be endless troubles! He led his army to attack Suizhou and surrounded three towers, leaving the east gate to escape with the Qing army.
Zhang Yingxiang was unable to defeat him, so he broke out of the city and fled from the east gate to Guide Mansion to govern Shangqiu. As soon as he escaped to Ningling, Liu Wenxiu's arranged ambush came out, and the dog-fighting hero finally became the food of the wild dogs.

Wu Jingdao has been in Henan for many years. In the second year of Shunzhi (1645), he was the chief envoy of Henan, and later promoted to governor and minister of the Ministry of War.
Three years ago, he went to court and asked to retire and return to his hometown. He was over seventy years old, which was considered an advanced age among traitors.
Emperor Shunzhi was right first, and the Ming army once again appointed him as the governor of Henan after the Northern Expedition. An old man in a country is like a treasure. Henan is in such chaos now, and I don't feel relieved without an old minister like you to control it.
Therefore, Governor Wu had no choice but to drag his seventy-five-year-old bones and continue to serve his master.
As a die-hard traitor to the Han army in Zhenghuang Banner, when he heard that the Ming army had captured Xingyang, he led 10,000 troops to Hulao Pass to kill him, regardless of his age and infirmity.
"Futai, in front of us is Gong County, and after passing Gong County, we will reach Hulao," said General Jiang Xin.
"Cough, cough, cough", Wu Jingdao covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and blood oozed out.
Jiang Xin was shocked and said, "Futai, you are in ill health. Please stay in Gong County and take charge. In the end, the general will lead his army to capture Hulao."
"No," Wu Jingdao stopped coughing and waved his hand, "I am the governor of Henan, and I have the responsibility to defend the territory. The Hulao was lost in my hands, so naturally I should take it back myself."
At this time, Hulao Pass has been abandoned, but the wall is still there. Shang Zhixin led 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison here, and Ban Zhifu led 2,000 sharp soldiers to guard Dazhou Mountain at the south end of Sishui River.
Ten Thousand Henan Green Camp is building a long brand and preparing to attack the mountain.
An old cypress tree on the mountain was whistling loudly in the wind, as if it knew that a war was about to begin and was trembling. The old trees had all seen the world. Ever since King Mu of Zhou named it Hulao, it was named Hulao.
Heroes conquer the world here. The battle of Chenggao between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, and the battle of Wulao between Li Shimin and Dou Jiande??
"Woo~woo~woo~"
The horn of attack sounded, and Liu Erhu held up his long card and attacked upward.
He was originally a small soldier in the Ming army, a subordinate of Jiang Xin, a guerrilla in the Ming Dynasty. Later, Jiang guerrillas defected to the Qing Dynasty, and he followed suit.
At first, I felt uncomfortable looking at the pigtails on my head, but as time went by, I got used to it. Later, Jiang Youyi was promoted to general. Seeing his strength, he promoted him to general.
General Manager Ba was considered an official, and once he became an official, he had money and women. General Manager Liu successfully bought a property, married a wife, and had children, forgetting all about his ancestors.
"Two tigers, you lead the team up and capture Hulao. I will be rewarded heavily." Jiang Xin personally promised before attacking the mountain.
When Liu Erhu thought of the words "everything will be rewarded", Liu Erhu became excited and led his 300 men to climb the mountain.
"Boom! Boom! Boom", the small artillery of the Ming army rang.
"Don't be afraid, charge forward and the cannon will be useless," Liu Erhu shouted and took the lead in running wildly.
"Swish, swish, swish", arrows fell like rain. He bent his body, hid behind the long card, and continued to climb up.
"Bang", the unlucky guy in front was shot through the shield by a fire cannon, leaving holes all over his body.
"Quickly, lower your body down," Liu Erhu roared, and then he was speechless. A big log came roaring with power, and was flattened with the man and his cards.
??
Ten thousand troops attacked for ten days, but lost one thousand troops and could not advance an inch.
Wu Jingdao saw that Hulao was difficult to fight, so he left a thousand soldiers and horses to watch, and led his army south to attack Dazhou Mountain.
Go south to Shenyuan Pass and enter Shaoshi Mountain.
"Da da da", a Qing army scout was patrolling, and dozens of fully armed monks blocked the place, "Amitabha, this is the place of Shaolin Qing Xiu, please benefactors to go around it."
The commander of the Qing army was furious, saying, "How dare you block the way of the uncle!" He drew his sword and wanted to kill him.
It’s also strange that the smiling monk opposite him used some kind of magic, but with a little finger, half of his arm went numb.
"Sir, these thieves and bald donkeys are all talented and not easy to mess with. Why should we get angry with these monks? We can just take a detour.
"Bah," Shi Chang spat and led his team to take a detour.
Wu Jingdao's troops passed through Taishi Mountain, the main mountain of Songshan Mountain, and arrived at the foot of Dazhou Mountain.
Eight thousand Qing troops stormed Dazhou Mountain. Ban Zhifu, the Ming general on the mountain, became fierce and led two thousand of his men to fight to the death. He held a big sword and went to the front line to supervise the battle. He would kill anyone who was afraid of fighting.
Wang Changyue went to the Shaolin Temple and asked to see the abbot Haikuan. In the main hall, the breeze blew slowly, and Haikuan was motionless, as if he was in meditation.
Wang Changyue couldn't hold back her anger, "The master said that we should kill demons and eliminate them. This is a good idea!"
"Amitabha," Zen Master Haikuan clasped his hands, "Lao Na has sent a disciple to bring a message to Shangzong Town, asking him to detour to Songshan Mountain and surprise the Qing army at the rear."
