285 Battle of the Central Plains (17)

Tong Yangliang saw Li Ming in the crowd, and he gritted his teeth with hatred at the moment, and shouted hatefully: "Li Ming, you traitor, you actually deceived me and waited for ......."

"Haha...... Thanks to you for having a pair of eyes, it's really a piece of rotten wood, blind, I am the Ming General's Mansion experienced Li Huajing, what Li Ming, I am waiting here to design, just to take you down, quickly restrain your hands, and avoid death! ”

"Brothers, kill ......" Tong Yangliang knew at this moment that he had been calculated from the beginning, and he had been using soldiers for more than ten years, but he didn't expect to be planted here this time, but he couldn't think about it much at the moment, so he could only rush out and kill first, and then talk about it, and the rest could only be calculated after the fact.

Tong Yangliang was desperately surrounded by his own soldiers, but he was also able to rush to the stable, after getting on the horse, Tong Yangliang immediately rode his horse and fled to the west gate, where thousands of their families were stationed, go to them, he can also fight again, Tong Yangliang ran away, but Wu Ruyu did not have such good luck, because he drank too much, he had a splitting headache, and was trapped in the center by dozens of Yuyuan soldiers, and it was difficult to break free.

Tong Yangliang rode his horse halfway and encountered a team of Qing soldiers, and he was also shocked at the moment.

"General, a group of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses just raided our camp, the brothers were caught off guard and have been dispersed, we came to ask the general, what should we do?" The soldiers looked sad, there was no way to resist, they didn't know that so many soldiers and horses would suddenly burst out of the city, they were all exhausted, and they were in a deep sleep, who would have thought that the enemy army would rush directly to their camp, they didn't even have time to prepare.

"Kill from the east gate, ...... quickly" Tong Yangliang can only break through first.

Tong Yangliang ran all the way to the east, escaped more than 20 miles in one breath, only to stop to catch his breath, he looked back, there were only a few hundred soldiers behind him, Tong Yangliang couldn't help but sigh, "The court ordered me to kill the thief, but I was defeated miserably, how can I explain to the regent and the emperor?" ”

A personal soldier beside Tong Yangliang hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded him: "The general doesn't have to worry too much, we are because the horse is fast, I think there will be a large number of soldiers fleeing behind, our army is mostly a horse army, but the enemy is a foot soldier, they just caught us off guard, our horse army will definitely be able to escape a lot, let's wait here." ”

Tong Yangliang is not bad to think about, he remembers that when he went out of the city, there were many people who followed, and now he is also scattered, and the group waited on the road that must be passed, gathering the remnants of the army, and at noon the next day, more than 2,000 people were collected one after another, at this time, Tong Yangliang also got the news that Wu Ruyu was captured, and most of the soldiers surrendered, so they could only lead the army to evacuate for the time being.

Shushan Lake, excavated in the early years of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, is the "water tank" of the Caoyun waterway, connected with the canal waterway, west of Nanwang Lake, north of Liangshan 800 miles of water Bo Shushan Lake sunset Shushan Lake sunset, south of the twelve consecutive depressions and Machang Lake, the sea of reeds is swinging, the water is abundant and the fish is fat, the smoke waves are vast, the weather is thousands.

The army of the Qing army He Luohui was stationed here, the camp was only fifty miles away from Yanzhou City, He Luohui led the army to reinforce here, but the situation was much more serious than he imagined, and the battle situation was much worse than he expected, they were only fifteen miles away from the Ming army camp, but if they wanted to break through these fifteen miles, it was not so simple.

How many men and horses of the Ming army are outside Yanzhou City, the regular army is about 50,000 people, the Yuyuan army is 80,000, but there are more than 100,000 young and strong people, they have arranged three barriers outside Yanzhou City, facing Yanzhou City, it is a deep trench, there is a wooden fence on one side of the ditch to block, and then it is the water, the camp of the Ming army is distributed on both sides of the river, dozens of pontoon bridges several zhang wide are built in the middle for communication, and there are three zhang wide and one zhang deep trench in the periphery, which is full of bamboo thorns, and water is also diverted to irrigate it, only a few places can pass, It was heavily guarded by the Ming army.

When He Luohui attacked in a hurry for the first time, it was because he was not cautious enough, and as a result, none of the 500 men and horses who rushed up first came back, and the second wave of attacks lost nearly 1,000 people, and he was repulsed without even crossing the ditch of the Ming army, which frightened He Luohui and did not dare to attack rashly.

In this way, a stalemate was formed, He Luohui was not sure to break the siege, but he did not dare to evacuate rashly, and returned in vain, it had been a stalemate for more than ten days, and it was because of this that he would send Tong Yangliang to exterminate the surrounding Yuyuan army, so that they had to do something, and tens of thousands of troops could not be wasted here like this.

In Yanzhou City, Luck Dehun is even more miserable, besieged for almost a month, there is still food, but Yuan Shu ordered people to cut off the water source, they can only rely on the well water in the city to live, the people are okay, a bucket of water to cook rice can live, but their tens of thousands of troops are different, how many buckets of water are needed to cook on the fire, and they have to bear the attack of the Ming army.

In Yanzhou Mansion, Dongchang Prefecture Meile Zhangjing Lai Fu, Linqing General Soldier Yi Yonggui, Baoding General Soldier Lu Guonan, Qingzhou General Soldier Kong Xigui and other departments, 16,000 people, of which 7,000 people are the children of the Eight Banners, and the rest are green battalion soldiers, now they are surrounded by regiments, the attack is incompetent, the retreat is weak, and everyone has different mentalities.

At this moment, Luck Dehun doesn't know what the situation outside is, the land of Shandong, the beacon fire is extended, very lively, in addition to Yu Qi in Qixia, Xie Qian in Zichuan, and Pei Shouzheng and Liu Sitong in Guanxian County revolted; Wang Kuiguang rebelled, and Ding Mingwu and Zhou Kuixuan, who were powerful in the Taoshan area of Shandong, led more than 400 cavalry and countless infantry to conquer Teng County, seize the treasury property, release the prisoners, and then go north to conquer Zou County, kill Cui Feng of Zhi County, and assist Yuan Shu in besieging Yanzhou City; There were also uprisings of Cai Naihan, Zhou Guixuan, Cui Sanling and others in Gaotang Prefecture, and the anti-Qing struggle of Song Yadan, Chen Guozao and others in Xiajin County. Dongchang Mansion has an uprising led by Ding Weiyue, Ding Weiyue was originally the general manager of Shouzhang County in the Ming Dynasty, he led more than 1,000 horse thieves, tens of thousands of foot thieves, raised fire on all sides, shouted and moved the ground, attacked Zhang Qiu, the important place of Caoyun, failed to succeed, conquered Shouzhang County the next day, and there were Yangyun Mountain Righteous Army to conquer Tangyi County, it can be described as a storm.

The Qing army and the Ming army were fierce in Shandong, and at the same time, Sichuan and Henan also coordinated the counteroffensive, and the Qing officials in the Datong area were ordered to collect grain and grass. So, on the third day of the first month of June, Jiang Hao took the opportunity of Geng Yan, the governor of Xuanda, and others to go out of the city to inspect the grass, suddenly closed the city gate, ordered Yi Guanfu, proclaimed himself the general of Daming Shanxi, and publicly unveiled the banner of anti-Qing. Geng Yu fled to Yanghe in a hurry, and his family was executed by Jiang Xuan. After Azig heard the news, he marched into the army overnight to suppress Jiang Xuan, and after Jiang Huang rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, he flew to various places in the security office.

After the uprising of Datong, the Han gentry from all over Shanxi responded one after another: the righteous army of Fen, Lu, Ze, Liao and other counties and towns took advantage of the time to swarm, the former Ming thousand general Hu Guoding gathered in Lu'an, the righteous army Chen Du, Zhang Douguang and other troops led the troops to conquer Zezhou, Puzhou in the southwest of Shanxi Province to Hancheng on the west bank of the Yellow River in Shaanxi, Yu Yin, Han Zhaoxuan, Li Qisheng and other people responded to the news, in a short period of time, except for the provincial capital Taiyuan and a few cities, almost all of Shanxi were occupied by the righteous division, and Shanxi's anti-Qing and Ming restoration movement quickly spread to Shaanxi and other northwest regions.
