Wang Yan escorted the people to the south, traveling more than 20 miles a day, but the Yangtze River estuary to Hangzhou, the distance of more than 200 miles, it took 10 days to arrive, Li Taizhen had to block the enemy for at least 7 days, in order to ensure that the soldiers and civilians of Yangzhou entered Zhejiang safely.

At the mouth of the Yangtze River, the cannon roared, and the Qing soldiers rushed into the Wusong River with artillery fire, and engaged in an artillery battle with Li Taizhen's troops, and the battle was extremely tragic.

Four days have passed, and the Duoduo army is still blocked on the west bank of the Wusong River, and the Qing troops have forced their way several times, but they have been repelled by the Ming army and unable to break through the defense line.

"There are 100,000 soldiers, more than 20 times the enemy, but they can't cross the small Wusong River, it's unreasonable!" In the military tent, Duoduo was extremely angry and rebuked many of the generals.

Since going south, the Eight Banners have not been damaged, it can be described as smooth sailing, writing invincible myths, but since meeting Wang Yan and his army, the brave and invincible Eight Banners soldiers, somehow, suddenly weakened, and actually suffered setbacks again and again.

At the beginning of the encirclement, the true Manchurian Zhengbai Banner lost more than 2,000 people, the Han army Zhengbasket Banner lost more than 1,000 people, and then Wang Yan broke the siege, the True Manchurian Zhengbai Banner lost 3,000 people, the Han Army Zhenglan Banner lost 2,000 people, and now it has lost 4,000 Mongolian soldiers, for a total of only more than 200,000 Eight Banners, it can be described as a heavy loss, the True Manchurian Zhengbai Banner and the Han Army Zhenglan Banner have almost lost any combat power, how can this make Duoduo not angry, he can't explain to Dolgon at all.

"Lord Wang! The Wusong River is small and shallow, the big ships can not rush into, they can only send small and medium-sized warships to sail into the river to fight with the Ming army, the firepower does not occupy an advantage, and the river is narrow, which is not conducive to the warships to dodge, and the Ming army relies on the plug with artillery, shelling the river, although the minions are numerous, the big ships can only cruise in the Yangtze River and are completely inactive, and the small boats are not the opponents of the Ming army, so the river crossing failed! Zhang Tianfu hurriedly explained.

"Now that the cause is known, is there a solution?" Duoduo asked the crowd angrily.

"Lord Wang!" Zhang Tianfu said: "The slave thinks that I have many soldiers, and the Ming army is outnumbered, it is better to divide an army, cross the river elsewhere, and attack it, and then I will be able to break the Ming army camp!" ”

Duoduo originally thought that it would be easy to break Li Taizhen by waiting for the sailors and infantry troops to arrive, but he didn't want an army of 100,000, but he could never break through the defense line of the Wusong River, so he could only adopt Zhang Tianfu's words at this time.

"That's a great way! This king accepts it! Duoduo pondered and said: "Li Chengdong, Zhang Tianfu obeys orders!" ”

"The minions are here!" The two generals hurriedly responded.

"The king of Ming Japan continued to lead the troops to cross the river head-on and feint, and the two of you took a big boat to the east along the Yangtze River, looking for a suitable place to land, and after attacking Li Taizhen, they attacked Mingzhai with the king!" Duoduo then ordered.

"Wow! Slaves obey! ”

The next day, before dawn, Li Chengdong's troops took a big boat and quietly went east, but they were still detected by the Ming army.

The sentry told Li Taizhen and Hu Weizong, and the two looked at the riverside, and saw that in the dark, one after another military ships, like hills, moved on the river, and their faces couldn't help but change.

Hu Weizong said to Li Taizhen: "General, this northern captive wants to cut off my back road, and he will be attacked from both sides!" ”

"The general also knows, but I have few soldiers, so I have no choice but to do it!" Lee Tae-jung sighed.

The Ming army was only 5,000, but the Duoduo army had 100,000, and even if Li Taizhen understood the Qing army's strategy, he did not have the strength to prevent the Qing army from making a detour to attack him.

Hu Weizong said: "Since the general knows that the northern captives want to carry out a flanking attack, why not take advantage of the fact that his troops have not arrived, and evacuate first, otherwise the road will be cut off, and he will not fall into death!" ”

"I use 5,000 soldiers and horses to block Duoduo's 100,000 troops, thanks to the danger of Wu Song, if I abandon this place and let the main force of the northern captives cross the river, the northern captives have the advantage of cavalry, and our army will not be able to fight." Li Taizhen shook his head and said: "If I lose, the commander will also be in danger, it is better to trap this place with a strong fortress and win some time for the commander!" ”

Although Wang Yan was named a loyal and righteous uncle by the Hongguang court, the holy decree was never introduced to Yangzhou, and the people who passed it on also disappeared with the defeat of Zhenjiang, so although Wang Yan now commanded tens of thousands of troops, he was still only a battalion commander.

After Hu Weizong heard Li Taizhen's words, he knew that he had already saved the heart of death, and his heart couldn't help but stir, and he said: "Since the general has made up his mind, he is willing to guard the village with the general, drag the northern captives, and ensure that the father and elder of Yangzhou enter Zhejiang safely." ”

"Now, there is only a death war!" Li Taizhen looked at the Qing army ships passing by in the dark, and his face was full of determination.

Compared with the Qing army, Li Taizhen's strength is too disparity, once Duoduo's whole army crosses the river, with a huge advantage of 20 to 1, the Ming army will inevitably fail quickly, so Li Taizhen knows that he will be cut off by the Qing army and fall into encirclement, but he still decided to stick to the Wusong River in order to resist for some more time.

In the morning, the Qing army ships heading east were nowhere to be seen, but Li Taizhen knew that they would soon appear in the rear of the camp, so he asked Hu Weizong to guard the west while he guarded the east, waiting for the arrival of the Qing army.

At three o'clock, the sun was rising, and the Qing army on the west bank of the Wusong River took the lead in crossing the river to launch a feint, intending to attract the attention of the Ming army so that Li Chengdong's troops could launch a surprise attack.

The cannon roared on the river, which seemed to be fierce, but both sides did not do their best, and after a while, Li Chengdong's army really touched the back of the Ming army and slammed into it, but it hit a rain of bullets head-on, and the surprise attack instantly turned into a strong attack.

After a day of fierce fighting, because Li Taizhen had already taken precautions, the Qing soldiers were still able to break through his camp, and Duoduo had to withdraw his troops in anger.

The next day, Duoduo sent troops again, attacked from both sides, but still did not break the camp, he couldn't help but be furious, and let people bind Zhang Tianfu, who was the first to retreat, in front of the tent, Zhang Tianfu hurriedly begged for mercy, but Duoduo ignored it, and said angrily: "Repeatedly defeated generals, what is the use of keeping you?" "With the order of the guards, push out the camp gate and behead it.

When the generals of the green battalion saw this, they were all frightened.

Li Taizhen fought with the Qing army one after another, and more than half of the 5,000 soldiers and horses had been lost, but it also blocked the Qing army for six days.

That night, Li Taizhen said to Hu Weizong: "Today has blocked the enemy for six days, tomorrow will be completed, for Zong can lead hundreds of old soldiers out of the camp tonight, quickly go to Zhejiang to meet with the commander, I alone guard this camp, in order to do my best!" ”

Hu Weizong said: "How can the Lord leave the deputy general behind? If you want to go, the general will go, and leave the camp for the sect! ”

Neither of them wanted to leave the camp, so they had to give up.

After dawn, the Qing army attacked the camp again, with Zhang Tianfu's lesson in front, the generals of the green battalion did not dare not urge the troops to fight to the death, and Li Chengdong's department even removed dozens of Franco machine guns from the Fu ship and bombarded the Ming camp.

After several days of hard fighting, Mingzhai was finally broken by the Qing army, Li Taizhen led a hundred remnants of the army to break through, and was blocked by Li Chengdong, Li Chengdong shouted loudly: "Taizhen and I, in the past, they were both Xingping Bo as generals, and now Mrs. and the son descended early, why don't Taizhen surrender, and set up a career with our old acquaintances!" ”

"Madame's grace, I can only repay it in the next life, and now I am ordered to stop the enemy, it is for the sake of righteousness, how can I surrender!" Li Taizhen flatly refused when he heard this.

At that moment, he led the remnants of the army, rushed towards Li Chengdong, wielded a knife and fought to the death, people were sleepy and tired, knowing that there was no possibility of breaking through, and shouted with Yang Tian: "The eldest husband is alive, and he was able to resist and die, fortunately!" ”

After a short time, Li Taizhen was exhausted and hacked to death for the Qing soldiers, and the remnants of the soldiers were captured by Li Chengdong.

Later generations have poems to praise and say:

Chinese heroes, Taizhen is willing to kill.

In danger, he was ordered to be a general, and he was alone in Huyi.

There were seven days of bloody fighting, and the exhaustion was finally achieved.

So far, Wu Songkou is still hanging the Han general.

Li Taizhen died in battle, Hu Weizong was also forced to a dead end by the Qing army, he saw that the Ming army around him was getting fewer and fewer, all the way with the remnants of the army from the Wusong River to the Wusong River, and finally with the sergeants into the water.

Duoduo heard that he had broken through the Ming army's Dazhai, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, and he hurriedly crossed the river and entered the Ming village, and Li Chengdong bound the hundred captured Ming soldiers to it.

Dordor asked, "Are you waiting?" ”

All the Ming soldiers shouted: "If you don't surrender, you are willing to die with the general!" ”

Duoduo was furious when he heard this, so he asked the Qing soldiers to tie everyone outside the camp, lined up, and asked one by one: "Those who surrender will not die." ”

"Don't fall!" The Ming sergeant replied and was killed.

Duoduo asked again: "Those who descend will not die!" ”

"Don't fall!" was killed again, hundreds of Ming soldiers, and not a single one surrendered.

until they were killed, and no one was captured.

Seeing this, the glimmer of joy that Dodor had just felt could not help but be swept away, and that sentence did not fall, which made him feel terrified, deeply afraid of the power of these dead soldiers. "Wang Shiheng is immortal, and the Qing Dynasty is rare in the world."

Later generations have poems praising and saying: "In ancient times, there were 500 soldiers in Tianheng, and now there are soldiers under the command of Shiheng. ”
