Wuchang is located at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Han River, the place is located in the south of the Yangtze River, surrounded by large lakes, choking the main road of water and land, called Xiakou in the Eastern Wu period, renamed Ezhou in the Sui period, has a long history, is the most important big city in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.

According to the "Huguangtu Jingzhi", the Wuchang City of the Ming Dynasty was full of alleys and alleys, a cluster of government offices, cultural buildings such as Fuxue, Gongyuan, and Confucian Temple, and literati and bachelors gathered, as if it was a political center of the cityscape, and was one of the important city walls in the south at that time.

Wuchang in the Ming Dynasty, is the provincial capital of Huguang, around up to more than 20 miles, the wall is made of clay bricks, the wall is more than three zhang high, it can be said that it is majestic in Jingchu.

If anyone occupies Wuchang, they can look at the southeast, which is a battleground for soldiers, so after the Qing army was defeated in Huguang in February and March, it began to run Wuchang with all its might.

Since the end of April, Wuchang has entered a state of war readiness, Tong Yanghe tried his best to operate, to transfer all the resources of several prefectures around Wuchang to the city before the Ming army attacked, and also from Wuchang Mansion, Huangzhou Mansion, De'an Mansion, Chengtian Mansion, capture a large number of Qingzhuang, strengthen the city, widen the moat.

Tong Yang and Bilk Dehun are much more conservative, he is not as eager to achieve a big victory as Lek Dehun, Yixue before the humiliation of the mind, he is very clear about the Qing court's strategy, is to hold Wuchang, sit back and wait for the Qing army in the north to break through the Xiangyang defense line.

He understood very well that his task was to contain the Ming Dynasty army attacking Wuchang, and give Azig and Wu Sangui the opportunity to break through Xiangyang and enter the Huguang Formation Association.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the city of Wuchang began to become nervous, although Tong Yanghe had doubts about whether Luck Dehun could successfully defeat Wang Yan, but when he really saw the defeated soldiers of the Qing army appear on the bank of the Xunsi River, his heart was still a sense of loss.

He stood at the head of the city, watching the Qing cavalry unable to cross the Xunsi River and fleeing south, his heart was full of bitterness. This will mean that he will take on the heavy responsibility of defending Wuchang alone, and it will also mean that Wang Yan's main force of the Ming army will soon be in the city.

At this time, under the city of Wuchang, 40,000 or 50,000 Qi Huang Yi troops under the banner of the Ming army had been gathered from the east, and if Wang Yan's main force was added, then the Ming army besieging Wuchang would have at least 150,000 people.

Tong Yanghe has conducted many drills in his heart for various situations, but he didn't expect that he would face such a grim situation now, and he couldn't help complaining that Luck Dehun had buried the good situation of the Qing Dynasty in Huguang, and also forced him, the governor of Huguang, to death.

Now there are only 3,000 eight banners in the city, as well as the green battalion soldiers who retreated to Wuchang from all over Huguang, among which the three brothers Wang Guangen, Wang Guangtai, and Wang Chang who retreated from Xiangyang have 7,000 troops, the general soldier Yang Wenfu has 4,000 troops, Liu Kaiwen has 2,000 troops in Jingnan, and Sun Dingliao, the governor of Huguang in the Qing court, has 4,000 troops, totaling more than 17,000 soldiers and horses, in addition to more than 60,000 Huguang Qingzhuang who have been captured.

The troops in the city were not very sufficient, and it was quite difficult to hold Wuchang, but Tong Yanghe could not surrender to the Ming army, so he could only live and die with Wuchang City.

He is a Han man who has been Hu in Liaodong, and his family has been incorporated into the Eight Banners, enjoying the right to be superior, and the surname Tong has been combined with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the clan such as Tong Yangxing, Tong Yangjia, and Tong Yangzhen are all high-ranking officials in the Qing court, so Tong Yanghe can only fight to the death.

Tong Yanghe made a lot of preparations in order to prevent the Ming army from attacking the city, he not only prepared a large amount of grain, grass and materials in the city, but also demolished all the houses near the city wall in the city to prevent the Ming army from burning down during the attack.

On the city wall, two hundred and forty artillery pieces, one hundred and eighty stone cannons, nearly 1,000 oil tanks, and the city wall was also heightened and thickened, strong and abnormal, and the moat was also dug wide to four zhang and one zhang deep, and he was ready to survive with Wuchang.

Wu Jinxi said that after mobilizing nearly 60,000 volunteers to mobilize Qihuang 48 villages, and cooperating with Wang Yan to fight, the righteous army found out that Le Kedehun led the main force of the Qing army to leave Wuchang, so they rushed over and surrounded Wuchang.

In the city, Tong Yanghe had too few reliable Eight Banner soldiers in his hands, and he didn't dare to do any damage, so he didn't send troops to fight, and the Qi Huang Yi Army didn't take the initiative to attack, they were all peasants who took up arms, and their combat power was not strong, and they didn't have the experience and equipment to attack Dacheng.

In the morning, Wu Jinxi saw the defeated soldiers of the Qing cavalry fleeing south, so he came to find Wang Guangshu, the leader of the righteous army, and said: "Since last night, there have been defeated soldiers of the Qing army, and they came to the river of Xunsi. ”

The cavalry of the Qing army that began to appear last night made the righteous army nervous until now, Wang Guangshu listened to Wu Jinxi's words, and then put his mind at ease.

In the afternoon, there were bursts of gongs and drums in the field, and the Ming army finally appeared outside Wuchang City.

Ten miles away in the field, groups of cavalry galloped back and forth, smoke and dust filled the sky and the earth, and the infantry of the brigade marched in a boundless and murderous procession.

At the front of the team, Yuan Zongdi held a spear, beating horses and walking slowly, looking majestic, and the banner behind him was waving, and the gun was like a dense forest, exuding bursts of murderous aura.

Wang Guangshu, Yi Daosan, Wang Ding and other leaders of the righteous army, looking at this Ming official army that had just defeated the main force of the Qing Army's Eight Banners, immediately admired in their hearts: "The really majestic division is also~"

At that moment, Yuan Zongdi led the army to cross the Xunsi River, and then joined forces with the rebels, and they did not attack Wuchang, but began to build new camps along the perimeter of Wuchang, preparing for the arrival of the main force.

After Wang Yan led the army to Jiangxia, Li Guo came out to ask for guilt, Wang Yan didn't mean to blame, but just folded Zhou Zebin, but it made him a little sad and difficult to explain to Zhou Zhiwei.

At this time, the news that Yuan Zongdi defeated Luck Dehun, captured 20,000 green battalions, killed most of the Eight Banners, and collected more than 5,000 war horses.

Although the Ming army did not capture Luckedhun, so that he fled to Jiangxi with more than 2,000 remnants, Wang Yan was still very satisfied with this result.

In Huguang, the Qing soldiers had no other available troops, and it was too late to transfer troops from other places, and the Ming army captured Wuchang, which was almost a foregone conclusion.

At this time, Wang Yan immediately passed on the book to He Tengjiao, who was still in Hekou Town, and Dai Zhifan, who was guarding the baggage and equipment behind, and asked them to come to Jiangxia to meet, and then kill Wuchang together.

Five days later, two large flags appeared outside the city of Wuchang, Tong Yanghe climbed the city to watch, only to see as far as the eye can see, the boundless Ming army, coming from the west.

110,000 Ming troops, more than 50,000 righteous troops, and 100,000 Ming men converged into a sea under Wuchang City, and Wuchang City became a flat boat in the center of the storm, which would be drowned by the huge waves rolled up by the Ming army at any time.

Tong Yanghe fought in the city, his heart was full of black clouds pressing the city, and the Qing soldiers on the strong city were full of fear and had no heart to fight.

Seeing this, Tong Yanghe's heart tightened, and he said in his heart: "It seems that we must think of a way to make the green camp willingly work for the Qing Dynasty, otherwise before the Ming army attacks, the governor will be betrayed by them." ”
