259 Bloody Battle of Dutch

Standing on the embankment, Luckedhun hissed, "Cross the river, rush over for me." ”

As he spoke, he jumped onto a small boat from the river embankment, and took the lead in rushing to the other side of the river, originally Luck Dehun went south along Surabaya most quickly, but he considered that his soldiers and horses were all infantry cavalry, if it was along Surabaya, it would be unfavorable to fight in the area of Weishan Lake at that time, so he detoured to Jining Prefecture, crossed the Gaoping Mountain and directly crossed the lotus water to attack Jinxiang, which was Wang Yuncheng's garrison place, and the Qing soldiers in bright red clothes and armor rushed down the river embankment, got on small boats, and rushed towards the other side of the river, shouting and killing echoed over the lotus water, And the sound of gunfire.

Wang Yuncheng's face was solemn, and he saw the Qing soldiers and horses charging again, but he did not panic at all.

"Archers, musketeers, shoot me those who operate the boats, and the artillery will blow up the soldiers on their shores!" Wang Yuncheng drew his saber and raised it above his head, his eyes blazing, staring at the boats on the river, and directing his soldiers to continuously block them. Seeing that the Qing army's ships had arrived in the middle of the river, Wang Yuncheng made a slashing motion with the sword in his hand in the air, pointed the knife forward, and hissed to order.

"Bang bang...... Boom...... Whoosh...... "Hundreds of archers, musketeers, and gunners shot at the same time, loosening the bowstring, pulling the trigger, and igniting the fuse, and the arrows with a 'squeak' sound, and the muskets and artillery shot at the Qing soldiers and horses on the opposite side with a sharp sound of breaking through the sky.

The Qing army suddenly attacked, and Wang Yuncheng, who was caught off guard, hurriedly responded to the battle. I thought it was just a small-scale conflict, but I didn't expect that the main commander of the other party would be the governor of Shandong, Le Ke Dehun, who dared to fight with only a few thousand people. And it was obvious that Luckedhun was not a tentative attack, nor was it a small friction, it was clearly to capture the Jinxiang where he was located. There are not many garrisons in Jinxiang, Wang Yuncheng has only a thousand people under his command, and some are scattered in various ferries, and now there are even less than 600 people around him, and the other party is several times his, so Wang Yuncheng knows that it is difficult for him to block the attack of Luck Dehun, and he has already ordered someone to quickly notify Zhuang Zigu who returned to Germany at the beginning of the war and ask for reinforcements.

Wang Yuncheng stared at the Nieyang soldiers and horses on the other side of the river, the arrows were dense, and the guns were endless, but there were many people in Lekdehun, he still charged in person, and the Qing army was brave and brave with eight banners, not afraid of death, and they did not have an advantage at all. One by one, under the cover of the Qing army's crossbowmen and musketeers on the river embankment, they quickly approached the riverbank, and Luckedhun held a sword and shield in his hand, standing on the bow of the boat, he danced a big knife in one hand, shouted loudly, encouraged the soldiers to charge, and gradually began to rush to the south bank.

Luckedhun, jumped up the river embankment, held a shield in one hand, and rushed forward with a sword. The gunners in front of the Ming army could no longer keep their calm, and immediately broke back, but fortunately, Wang Yuncheng supervised the formation, cut down three soldiers in a row, and roared loudly: "Brothers, we can't let the Qing army kill us, but behind us are our fathers and villagers, what do they do to us on weekdays, can we let these dog Tartars harm them...... If we lose, our homeland will be plagued by the Tartars, even if we die here, we can enter the Martyrs' Garden, it is better than living in a nest, for the sake of our fathers and fellow villagers behind us, and these dogs and Tartars fight! ”

The Ming army, which had just shown chaos, suddenly stabilized its footing, the Qing soldiers had rushed up the river embankment, it was obvious that in a short distance, the guns could not have an effect, the soldiers abandoned the guns in their hands, pulled out their waist knives, and under the leadership of Wang Yuncheng, they shouted and rushed towards the Qing army that had crossed the river.

Lecset slashed a Ming soldier to death with the big knife in his hand, and seeing the Ming army roaring and rushing up, Lekdehun roared angrily: "Kill the Ming dog and take revenge." ”

With his loud roar, the soldiers and horses of the Ming and Qing dynasties started a tragic melee on the river embankment. A steady stream of soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Qing Army rushed over from the other side of the river, and the soldiers and horses of the Ming Army showed an obvious disadvantage in numbers, but under the leadership of Wang Yuncheng, no one retreated, desperately stopped the soldiers and horses of the Qing army, Wang Yuncheng has been stained with blood, and his body is covered with bruises.

Wang Yuncheng roared, cut down a Qing soldier, turned around and shouted: "Withdraw to the city!" ”

He knew that he could no longer do it, so he could only surrender Jinxiang, so he gave the order, and then Wu Daofu rushed forward again and cut off the back in person. I saw Luck Dehun come out of the crowd, covered in blood, tiger eyes widened, Luck Dehun roared, and the dancing knife suddenly blocked Wang Yuncheng's way.

"Minggou, you killed my brother, right, take your life!" As he spoke, he waved his sword and pounced on Wang Yuncheng.

"I'll kill your whole family, dog Tartar......" Wang Yuncheng raised his big knife and slashed at Luckettun, cursing uncleanly in his mouth.

"Kill...... General, after we break off, you go quickly......" Several of Wang Yuncheng's personal soldiers rushed up, entangled Luck Dehun, and covered Wang Yuncheng to leave, Wang Yuncheng can't die here, if he dies in battle, Jinxiang can't be saved.

Of the 600 Ming troops stationed in the barracks on the river embankment, except for the more than 200 soldiers and horses that Wang Yuncheng took with him when he withdrew, all the rest were killed in battle, and none of them surrendered. The battlefield was blazing with flames. The last few Ming soldiers directly ignited*, and the muskets and artillery abandoned on the battlefield were all blown up in an instant, and even twenty or thirty Qing soldiers were killed or wounded, and it was precisely because of the suicide attacks of these people that the Ming army was able to escape.

Lecset stood with his sword in his hand, standing on the riverbank, looking at the corpses everywhere, and there was a trace of inexplicable fear. He sent troops for his brother's anger, thinking that he could easily defeat the Ming army to avenge it, and he didn't think about starting a big war, he just wanted to find the Ming army that killed his brother. But I didn't expect that this small embankment would lose hundreds of Eight Banner soldiers, and this county town would be even more difficult to fight, so what about the entire Ming Dynasty...... Luckard couldn't help but let out a wry smile.

"Lord Belle, can you continue to attack? More than half of those dogs have been lost, and we catch up with them, and they can't run. ”

"Pass my order, continue the attack, and take Jinxiang." Although Lek Dehun knew that the Ming army was not easy to deal with, but now he had to fight in public and private, in terms of business, he found that the Ming generals were not good, and it was a scourge to stay, taking advantage of their current lack of troops, killing this person, removing a fierce enemy for the country, in private affairs, the revenge of his brother has not been avenged, and he went back like this, and there is no way to explain to anyone.

At noon the next day, Zhuang Zigu received the news of Wang Yuncheng's request for help, he couldn't help but be surprised, and then he was furious, the Qing army was only 3,000 people, and he dared to go south to invade the border, he really didn't take them seriously, and thought that it was the era when they were allowed to gallop in the Guannei, after a short period of thought, Zhuang Zigu ordered, he personally led 5,000 soldiers and horses, rushed to Jinxiang to help.

No one would have thought that it was this small war that would lead to an all-out war.
