Chapter 93 New Wall

 It’s not easy! After walking for more than half a year, General Qing Pingnan and the army that obeyed Wang Kong Youde finally reached Wuchang City.

All of a sudden, three princes, a duke, and a group of Eight Banner Ezhen and Zhang Jing who could not afford to offend came. According to the rules of officialdom, a banquet was naturally required.

Luo Xiujin, the governor of Qinghu and Guangzhou, led the general Xu Yong, deputy general Tang Guochen, generals Zhao Shizhong, Han You, Gao Shiqing, Hui Zhiguan, etc., poured rice flowers, braised Wuchang fish, and warmly welcomed King Sanshun.

The military situation was so high that Kong Youde didn't even drink any wine. He ate a few bites of food and went straight to the topic.

"Governor Luo, please quickly prepare food, grass and baggage for me. Tomorrow, I will send troops to Changde."

Luo Xiujin was shocked: "Your Majesty wants to attack Changde? The thieves from the Puppet Ming Zhongzhen Battalion have already arrived in Changde. This unit belongs to Li Chuangyu, and they are quite powerful. It is not easy to attack by force."

"Oh, what kind of soldiers and horses do the thieves and bandits have?"

"Your Majesty, Changde currently has the Puppet Ming Commander-in-Chief of the Military Affairs of Changde, Li Chixin (Li Guo), the Marquis of Xingguo; Gao Bizheng (Gao Yigong), the Marquis of Ying; Yuan Zongdi, the Marquis of Jingguo; Liu Tichun, the Marquis of Wan; Boma Jinzhong of Wuchang; Tongcheng Bo Ma Tengyun; Bota Tianbao of Yidu; Bo Dang Shouxu of Xingping; Bo Wang Guangxing of Nanzhang; and there are also Lin Yangyang, Niu Wancai, Li Laiheng, Liu Titong and other thieves, with a strength of no less than 100,000.

"Hey! The rest of the bandits are good at fighting, but I am a step too late!"

Kong Youde beat his feet and chest, and sighed.

Luo Xiujin was originally from Liaoyang, and was a member of the Xianglan Banner of the Han Army. He had a good relationship with King Kong Youde, King Huaishun, Geng Zhongming, King Zhishun, and Shen Zhixiang, Duke Xushun, who were also from Liao.

Seeing Kong Youde's anxiety, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, after you drink this glass of wine I offer you, I have a clever plan for you."

Kong Youde drank all the wine in the cup and cursed with a smile: "Lao Luo, you are so unhappy, so hurry up and fart!"

This obedient prince was born as a miner in Tieling. He was "good at bowing and horses, but illiterate." He was rough by nature. The closer he got to people, the more he liked to use vulgar words. All his subordinates were proud of being scolded by him.

Luo Jinxiu had long been accustomed to hearing that Kong Youde told her to fart quickly, and said cheerfully: "Why don't you cross the Miluo River, attack Changsha first, and then go around from Changsha to the rear of Changde and attack it?"

"Oh, how many guards are there near Changsha?"

"On the front line of the Miluo River, there are the Puppet Ming Huguang Admiral, Xingye Gong Yang Guowei's troops of 20,000 men guarding the new wall; General Soldier Zhang Xianbi's troops of 20,000 men guard Tongxi; General Soldier Lu Ding's troops of 20,000 men guard Changshou. In the rear are the Governor of Huguang, He Tengjiao, Liyang Bo Wang Jincai, Zhao Yinxuan and Hu Yiqing guarded Changsha with 110,000 men; Nan'an Bo Wang Yongzhong (Hao Yaoqi) guarded Liuyang with 40,000 men; Wang Yuncheng guarded Xiangyin with 20,000 men; Huang Chaoxuan had 30,000 men guard You County. The total strength of the Ming army About 260,000 people."

Kong Youde became angry when he heard this: "Lao Luo, what kind of clever plan are you talking about? Let me leave Changde with 100,000 people and attack Changsha with 260,000 people? Have you drunk too much?"

Luo Jinxiu was not annoyed and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty can go around the Mufu Mountain trail and go around to the back of the Miluo River for a sneak attack."

Kong Youde said angrily: "Even if the sneak attack is successful and Xinqiang, Tongxi, and Changsha are captured, He Tengjiao still has 200,000 troops. Even if there are 200,000 pigs, it is enough for me to drink a pot."

Upon hearing Kong Youde's words, Luo Xiujin, Xu Yong, and other officials and generals of the Tang Dynasty laughed happily.

"Does Your Majesty know the commander-in-chief of Yuezhou, Jiaolin?"

"You know, isn't he the general who surrendered in the Ming Dynasty? He has no backbone and is a coward."

"A while ago, it was this coward who defeated He Tengjiao's 100,000-strong army."

"Oh?"

Kong Youde became interested: "Lao Luo, tell me, what's going on?"

Luo Xiujin smiled: "Last September, He Tengjiao sent Zhang Kuang to supervise the army and led one hundred thousand troops to invade Yuezhou. Ma Jiaolin sent his deputy Li Xiangong to lead five hundred cavalry and defeated Zhang Kuang's one hundred thousand troops at Wanyu Bridge. The army took advantage of the situation and pursued them for fifty miles before returning. One hundred thousand people could not defeat five hundred people. Why should the prince be afraid of such an army of two hundred thousand people?"

After hearing this, Kong Youde was overjoyed: "In this case, I will go and meet He Tengjiao's 260,000-strong army."

??

Reluctant to take a detour into drunkenness,

Once you swallow your loyal base, you will lose Canglang.

To this day, the ape cries in the moon beside the temple,

I feel hesitant and hate the King of Chu.

The Miluo River is on the east side of Dongting Lake. In the thirty-seventh year of King Nan of Zhou Dynasty, Qu Yuan, a loyal minister of Chu State, heard the news that Qin general Bai Qi had captured the capital of Ying and that King Qingxiang of Chu had fled to Chencheng. He was depressed and desperate. , throw yourself into this river.

At this time, there were three to four hundred warships moored in the Xinqiang area of ​​the Miluo River.

Kong Youde claimed to have an army of 200,000, but actually only had 50,000 soldiers. In order to make up for the lack of troops, he ordered the former Huguang garrison

Xu Yong, the commander-in-chief, and 30,000 troops from the generals Zhao Shizhong, Han You, Gao Shiqing, Hui Zhiguan and other troops went out with the army. They were also joined by Yuezhou commander-in-chief Ma Jiaolin and deputy general Li Xianggong's 20,000-horse troops. A total of 100,000 troops. Kill and rush to the Miluo River.

In order to confuse the Ming army, Kong Youde ordered Meile Zhangjing to garrison Tai (i.e. Tong Dai, Tong Yanghe) and led Ma Jiaolin's 20,000 navy troops to pretend to cross the river from Xinqiang. He himself led Huaishun Wang Geng Zhongming and Zhishun Wang Shang Fortunately, Xushun Gong Shen Zhixiang, Gushan'e Zhenjinli, Xu Yong and other generals detoured to the Mufu Mountain path and attacked Changshou City in the lower reaches of the Miluo River.

"Cross the river!"

Tuntai issued a military order.

One warship after another sailed towards the other side of the Miluo River.

"Fire!"

Yang Guowei waved his flag, and the Ming army fort on the shore roared.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Cannonballs fell into the river one after another, setting the Qing warships on fire. Some small boats were overturned and sank to the bottom of the river.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The Qing troops on the warship fired back.

One warship after another began to land.

The Ming army soldiers who had already formed a formation and were waiting on the shore first fired a firecracker, and then formed a mandarin duck formation to kill the Qing army.

Go ashore and kill a bunch of them.

Soon, all the Qing troops who landed were slaughtered.

"Mingjin retreats!"

Tuntai issued an order to retreat.

"Ten thousand victories!" "Ten thousand victories!" "Ten thousand victories!"

The Ming army on the shore roared in victory.

??

Mufu Mountain was called Tianyue Mountain in ancient times. During the Three Kingdoms period, Taishi Ci, the general of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, camped on the top of the mountain, so it was renamed Mufu Mountain.

The mountains are majestic, the cliffs are steep, the rocks are beautiful, the clouds are billowing in the sea, and the roads are rugged.

"Bah! What a bird road!"

A Qing soldier spat, complained, and staggered forward.

Suddenly, a sharp gaze came to him. General Lin Guoan of the front camp appeared in front of him.

"Those who obey the king's general's orders and make noise while marching will be killed!"

With a swing of the knife, the pawn fell to the ground.

The entire army was terrified, and the 80,000-strong army was silent.

Finally came out!

Gushan'e Zhenjinli led 7,000 Han troops with red flags at the forefront, and launched a charge three miles in front of Changshou Ming's military camp.

Arriving at the gate of the camp, Jin Li drew his bow and nocked an arrow. When an arrow whistled, the sentry on the tower fell down in response.

The Qing army removed the antlers and pulled down the camp gate.

The cavalry began to charge into the camp, and the infantry then covered them up. While fighting, they set fire to the camp. The Changshou military camp became a sea of ​​fire.

"What's going on?" Ming army guard Lu Ding asked in panic.

"Sir, it's bad, the Tatars are coming."

"What!"

Lu Ding was shocked. Why didn't the Qing army attack Yang Guowei and Zhang Xianbi upstream, but instead attacked themselves downstream?

But he is a famous runaway general after all. During the Northern Expedition to Jingzhou and the Battle of Wuchang, as soon as this man heard that the Qing army was coming, he immediately ran for three hundred miles.

Lu Ding's ability to save his life was first-rate. He immediately changed into a set of uniforms as a soldier, and did not even enter the Changshou City. He took a few soldiers, put on makeup and fled to Changsha.

Suffering a surprise attack and losing their commander, the Ming army was defeated.

Kong Youde effortlessly captured Changshou City and went to Tongxi to fight.

Even though Yang Guowei in Xinqiang was fighting to the death with the Qing army, Tongxi was a peaceful scene.

Commander-in-Chief Zhang Xianbi was drinking and having fun. He tasted Tieshan Diaozi Fish, grabbed a piece of longevity fried pork, and drank a sip of country rice wine.

It’s great! When the sky falls, Yang Guowei holds up. Anyway, the Qing army didn’t attack Tongxi, so let’s be happy for now.

"Sir, it's bad. The Qing army has taken advantage of Changshou and is coming towards Tongxi. Hurry up and close the gate of the village to defend. If you are late, it will be too late!"

"What, the Qing army took advantage of Changshou? Did they fly here?"

Zhang Xianbi thought for a while: "If you can't defend anymore, retreat quickly. Evacuate to Changsha. Hurry!"

These days, he has been preparing to escape. He puts the food and grass in the car without unloading it. When he runs, he will naturally go fast.

Zhang Xianbi was stronger than Lu Ding, and the whole army fled, not only saving his own life, but also the lives of his subordinates.

As for the comrades who are still fighting bloody battles at the front, Mr. Zhang can’t control that much.

"You just got Tongxi?" Kong Youde couldn't believe it.

He couldn't care less about being happy, and the whole army rushed towards the new wall, outflanking Yang Guowei from the rear.

??

The area around Xiaojiawan on the Miluo River has flat terrain, convenient water and land transportation, and an endless stream of merchants. I don’t know which dynasty or generation, someone built a high house here, and the new walls were exposed unobstructed in Pingyang, becoming a place where people

Asking for directions, signs pointing the way. Over time, people from far and near called this place "New Wall".

The new wall is originally on flat ground, with no danger to defend except the Miluo River in the north.

"Kill!"

Kong Youde's army has arrived.

"Father, we are surrounded by the Qing army. Follow me and fight out!" Yang Fuchen, the son of Yang Guowei, was extremely anxious.

"Yang Fuchen obeys the order!"

"The end is here!"

"You take five hundred elite cavalry to break out of the encirclement first, go to Wugang, and ask General Yan Zungao to quickly occupy Xinhua, Shaoyang, and Qiyang to resist the Qing army."

"Father, what about you?"

"As my father, I am the commander of an army, there is no reason to abandon the army and flee. You retreat first, and my father will organize the army to retreat later."

"My son wishes to stay with his handsome father."

"You bastard, do you dare to disobey my military order?"

Yang Fuchen had no choice but to break through with 500 elite cavalry.

The sharp long knife in his right hand slashed across the necks of the Qing soldiers one after another; the lance in his left hand shook with impact, knocking down a Qing soldier at once.

Yang Fuchen broke through the enemy formation, and all his five hundred men became bloody men.

"Da! Da! Da"

The cavalry of the Qing army came after them.

Yang Fuchen turned around and shot down a horseman with an arrow. Looking at the new wall camp closed by the Qing army, he burst into tears: "Commander father! The military orders are like mountains, please take care of yourself!"

Kong Youde's army surrounded the new wall.

The new wall, which was thought to be undefendable, would inevitably come down in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, the Ming army deployed antlers and iron caltrops outside the camp to defend it.

The arrogant Qing army was unable to break through the Ming army's camp.

Seeing his men fall one by one outside the Ming army's fence, Kong Youde ordered a pause in the attack.

"Set up the artillery!"

The Qing army set up a fort outside the stronghold.

Kong Youde and other three shun kings were not ordinary traitors, but very big traitors who entered the Pass for the Manchu Qing Dynasty and made great contributions.

When they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, they brought with them the fleet, Hongyi cannons and various craftsmen that the Qing people urgently needed. Huang Taiji personally led Zhubeile ten miles out of Shengjing and used the Jurchens' most solemn "embrace ceremony" to welcome them.

They formed an army of their own, called the "God's Blessing Army". This was a purely firearms unit trained with Western barbarian techniques. The cannons mostly used red cannons with great power and long range.

); Milling mostly uses bird guns, using three-stage strikes.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The Ming army's camp was blown down and the fence was uprooted.

"Kill!"

Countless braided soldiers with money rat tails rushed into the camp.

"Kill!"

The soldiers of the Ming army resisted bravely.

Yang Guowei's sword has been cut and curled, and at least dozens of enemies have died under the sword.

All the bodyguards were killed, and the scarred Yang Guowei looked up to the sky and shouted: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I am exhausted!"
