No. 083 Rescue Qingyuan (1)

In the past two months, the Ming army not only repelled the siege of the main force of the Qing army's land division in Wuzhou, Guangxi, but also annihilated the main force of the Qing army's water division in one fell swoop. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info It turns out that the Tartars are not so terrible, they will also fail, and even if they are cornered, they will surrender.

This is not quite consistent with their original cognition, the word Tartar once made them extremely hateful and extremely fearful at the same time, the Tartar is not more than 10,000, full of invincible, especially the little braid dragged behind the Tartar's head, as if it has magic power, the same army, repeatedly defeated before shaving their hair, embarrassed, once surrendered and shaved their hair, left a money rat tail, immediately transformed, the combat power soared a lot, one by one brave and good at fighting, desperate for themselves.

The fear of the Qing army and the people of the Ming Dynasty is more psychological, and it is the psychological shadow produced after countless defeats in more than ten years. Of course, if they meet the real Tartars, they don't dare to say it for the time being, but they are not afraid of those two Tartars traitors now. The generals have asked for battle.

Huiqi Town is the last stronghold in front of Qingyuan City, as long as it is laid there, the Qing army's encirclement of Qingyuan City will tear a hole, and not far ahead, it will not be far from the Qing army's besieged camp and the Qing army's naval camp stationed at the mouth of the river.

As early as three days ago, after the victory of the Beijiang Water Battle, Zhu Youlang held a meeting in front of the emperor to discuss the rescue of the Qingyuan Volunteer Division, and a military academy urged the emperor to hold on to it, believing that "the Qing army is strong and if our land division commits it with light soldiers, it is afraid of defeat, it is better to be stationed in Sanshui City, and win slowly."

This suggestion seems to be good, but it ignores a key point, that is, Zhu Youlang envisioned that if Li Chengdong gritted his teeth and insisted on capturing Qingyuan first and then withdrawing the army, then the so-called rescue would fail, and one of the purposes of the eastward expedition from Wuzhou would not be achieved. Qingyuan has had ten thousand righteous divisions, they are not short of blood, less is only the experience of the battle array, once Qingyuan is broken by the Qing army, tens of thousands of righteous divisions will be difficult to survive, the strength of the Ming Dynasty to resist the Qing Dynasty will be seriously weakened, and it will be even more difficult for Zhu Youlang to want to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youlang categorically refuted this fallacy of only looking for the safety of his own army and ignoring the danger of other troops, and he ordered to send people to Qingyuan to inform the leader of the righteous division that as long as one horse entered the city smoothly and the reinforcements would arrive immediately, the morale of Qingyuan's army would naturally be greatly boosted, and when the time came, he would unite with the reinforcements and try to break the enemy's plan.

Zhu Youlang also knew that the righteous teachers in Qingyuan City hoped that the army of the king division would be like the hope of the great drought, so he decisively sent Lu Shiren, the commander of the team who was willing to take the lead, to lead thirty daring iron horsemen as pioneers to Qingyuan to report the news, and he personally led the waterway army along the Beijiang River to prepare to reach Qingyuan as soon as possible. Tell them that even if there is only one person left, they must go to the city and tell the news of the imminent arrival of reinforcements to Qingyuan Yishi.

Three days later, when the Ming army attacked back to Qi Town, the righteous army patrolling the city at the head of the Xicheng city in Qingyuan found that there was a Biao men and horses galloping five miles away from the Xicheng, and the Qing army rangers along the way went out to block the attack, but they could not stop them from slashing and killing, axes and knives, the Qing soldiers and rangers were defeated and scattered, and did not dare to pursue, this Biao men and horses rushed to the foot of Xicheng like a flying wind, and shouted the door.

The rebels in the city hurriedly told Lingnan Sanzhong Chen Bangyan, Zhang Jiayu and others, Chen Bangyan recognized that the next knight in the city was Yu Long's subordinates, and knew that it was his own people, so he hurriedly lowered the drawbridge and opened the door to welcome them in.

Thirty daring iron horsemen, from the day of departure, in three days and two nights, galloped around more than 700 roads, during which they only ate some dry food to satisfy their stomachs, their clothes and turbans were covered with a thick layer of dust, and the blood that had just been splashed on them was glued into one dark gray stain after another, their eyes were deeply sunken, and they were surrounded by black lines, and their faces were written with deep exhaustion, but a pair of eyes were indeed bright and bright.

After entering the city, the team officer Lu Shiren turned around to count the people, and when he set off, he took thirty-one people with himself, and when he entered the city, there were still twenty people left, and he couldn't help but let out a cry of regret. After waiting for the horses to rest for a while, he gave Chen Bangyan, the leader of the Qingyuan Volunteer Division, the wax pills of the Son of Heaven himself and tens of thousands of land and water troops who would enter Qingyuan within a few days, and completed the task of reporting. My Daming Wang Shi is about to arrive! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

Not to mention the joy of the soldiers and civilians in Qingyuan City, Zhu Youlang spent half a day to quickly capture Huiqi Town, and then pointed directly at the Qing army's naval division camp not far from the mouth of the river.

For the original Wuzhou Ming army that came close like a dogskin plaster, Li Chengdong, who was in the tent of the commander of the Chinese army who was heavily guarded in the south of Qingyuan City, was resentful and had a headache, besieging Qingyuan for nearly two months, seeing that the thieves in the city were hungry and thirsty, and their hands and feet were weak, they couldn't hold on, and the city was about to be captured, he never expected that the remnants of the army lacking the water division would actually wipe out the main force of his own water division on the Beijiang River! Now it is even more victorious, attacking the city along the road, so not majestic!

Now his army grain road has been cut off, is not to fight, is not to retreat, has entered a dilemma, the general Shi Lang ruined his plan, but people are also dead, he can no longer be held responsible, fortunately he still has the strength of the army division elite of the headquarters, the sailor also has more than 1,000 people, he did not dare to throw it out again, still by the Ming army's sailor on the Beijiang to show off his might, he ordered the sailor battalion generals to strictly guard the water village, not to take the initiative to attack the Ming army sailor. At the same time, the battle line was contracted, and the land battalion in the east of the city was ordered to retreat away from the river bank and camp, so as to avoid the front of the Ming army and the naval division on the Beijiang River, and to prevent the land battalion sergeants from being bombarded by the Ming warships and artillery on the Beijiang River.
