Chapter 193: Guarding the River
Qin Liangyu's record is really strong.
She was originally the daughter of the leader of a tribe in the mountains, and later married Sima Qiancheng, a Sichuan stone pillar.
Ma Qiancheng was framed and died in prison. In some places in Guizhou, Sichuan, the official position of Tusi has always been hereditary.
After Ma Qiancheng's death, his son was still very young, so Qin Liangyu took the position of husband.
Although she is a woman, she is a great general in history.
The famous white pole soldiers under her command were originally a special unit trained for her husband Ma Qiancheng who was good at mountain warfare. The white pole gun held by this class is made of sturdy white wood (white ash tree) as a long pole, with a bladed hook on the top and a hard iron ring on the bottom, which can be cut and pulled during combat, and the ring can be used as a hammer weapon. In that year, Qin Liangyu led this army to participate in the battles of Pingbo, Pingluxury, Aid Liao, Anti-Qing Dynasty, King Qin, and Suppression of Bandits, and won great meritorious service.
It can be said that for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, this Tusi's private army, from the mountains and rivers in the southwest to the snowfields in the east of Liaodong, has fought bloody battles. And the record is extremely impressive, I didn't expect to give myself a dismount in the first battle.
"Under the fame, it's really a bit strong." Zhu Yousong ordered to go down, gather the remnants of the army, and camp in the old county, preparing to meet the soldiers and horses who came by victory.
Zhang Yuanhua, who was with the army, said worriedly: "Lord Wang, the battle situation is unfavorable, or I will escort Lord Wang Ye back to Luoyang." ”
Zhu Yousong sighed: "General Wang died in battle, and there is no main general on the southern front. If I run away again, Luoyang will not be safe. You immediately send someone to inform Zhao Hong and ask him to transfer people from Shaanxi to come to support. As for here, we are bringing the Shenji Battalion this time, and a few thousand guns can't hold a group of white poles?
In all directions of Luoyang, the east, west and north are all offensives, and they have the upper hand. Even Sun Chuanting can only retreat from defeat, and now it seems that the only way to do this is to tighten the south, so hurry up and let the defenders of Luoyang come to reinforce it. From here, there is no retreat, and the people here are the subjects of the king. Their fathers, husbands, sons are fighting for me on the front lines. If I lose these places, how can I explain to them? ”
Zhang Yuanhua knew his temper, and he didn't persuade him, but just wrote down his orders carefully and sent someone to pass the order.
The golden crow sank, the bright moon rose into the sky, and with the arrival of night, the front-line rout had almost been rectified. The old county is located on the river, and the county is built according to the river, and Zhu Yousong intends to rely on the terrain to block the stone pillar white pole soldiers who have laid down the great name here.
Although Zhu Yousong asked himself if he didn't understand military affairs, this time it was very reasonable, and the best thing for the white pole soldiers was mountain warfare. Not to mention that the terrain of Henan is flat, and now there is an additional river as a barrier. I don't believe in my own magic camp, and I can't stop them.
Finally, the vanguard of the enemy arrived.
Zhu Yousong looked across the river, and with the telescope produced by Ying'en Temple, he saw that the other side was also camping. It seems that they are not going to fight at night either, and are ready to fight again tomorrow.
Zhang Yuanhua said happily: "It seems that they don't know our reality and reality, great, in this way, our reinforcements will arrive tomorrow." ”
Zhu Yousong frowned and said, "Pass the order, and the whole army will dress and sleep tonight." Add a few more sentinels to prevent enemy night attacks. Don't underestimate these mountain brutes, they are as cunning as a pack of foxes. Moreover, don't you think that they are too loud to set up camp, as if we are afraid that we will not know that they are going to camp and not chase, I think there must be fraud in it. ”
Zhang Yuanhua was a qualified commander of the guards, but he was not a good general. Even Zhu Yousong saw it, and after telling him, he realized the strangeness. He wiped his sweat and said: "Lord Wang, these birdmen are so difficult to deal with, I think I still escort Lord Wang back to Luoyang, let's transfer Zhao Hong back to deal with them." ”
"Nonsense, we are now on the losing side, as soon as I leave, can these people hold on? Besides, Zhao Hong is only one, but in the future, our battlefields will be all over the country, so we will be waiting for him everywhere. Hmph, Lao Tzu doesn't have a good reputation outside, and they all say that I am a ridiculous and lustful mediocre king. In this battle, at least let the people of Luoyang see that this king is not a wine bag and rice bag.
You see, right now, we don't have a lot of talent available. It's because they don't trust me, the prince. As long as we do a good job this time, there will definitely be more capable people who will take refuge in us in the future. ”
Zhang Yuanhua stopped talking, silently retreated, and arranged for the masters of the guards to be around the prince's tent, ready to escort him out of the encirclement at any time.
At this time, on the other side of the river, in the camp tent of the stone pillar soldiers, it was pitch black.
They do not have the habit of lighting fires, and hunters prefer the dark. Only a pair of bright eyes announced that it was a sleepless night.
Qin Liangyu, who is in his fifties, has long been accustomed to fighting everywhere. She sat quietly in the tent, not saying a word, next to her only remaining brother, Qin Minping. After so many years of conquest, although she became famous all over the world, she also lost many relatives.
At the time of Emperor Wanli, the battle of the national fortune of Salhu, the Ming Dynasty was defeated in the northeast. The imperial court recruited elite troops throughout the country to aid Liao. When Qin Liangyu heard this, she immediately sent her brother Qin Bangping and her brother Qin Minping to lead thousands of elite soldiers first, and she raised horses and collected grain by herself to ensure logistics supply.
In the battle of Shenyang, the Qin brothers led the "white pole soldiers" to take the lead in crossing the Hunhe River, bloody battle against the Eight Banners, killing thousands of Eight Banners soldiers in the battle, and finally let the invincible Eight Banners know that there are such brave soldiers in the Ming army, and they have been afraid for a long time. Due to the disparity in numbers, Qin Bangping died in battle, Qin Minping broke through in blood, and more than 2,000 white-pole soldiers died in battle. But it was precisely from this that Qin Liangyu's stone pillar "White Pole Soldiers" became famous all over the world.
Qin Minping rubbed the spear in his hand, broke the silence with a long sigh, and said: "Sister, the world has become more and more unpeaceful recently, and a few years ago, the border was in an emergency, but I didn't expect that in the center of the world like Luoyang, the Central Plains were in flames. The sturdy man of our stone pillar, more than half of the dead and injured over the years, this time even some dolls were brought, I don't know when this kind of day will be a head. ”
Qin Liangyu looked at his younger brother distressedly, his sideburns even had a few strands of gray hair. Every time I see him, I think of the time when I was a child, when my two younger brothers circled around me.
"After this fight, there should be peace."
Qin Minping smiled bitterly and said, "Sister, you said the same thing last time, you still treat me as a little kid when you were a child." Let me say, this time is a symptom of chaos in the world, I heard that Shaanxi has become a scorched earth, and there are dead people everywhere. My brother-in-law died at the hands of the mediocre court, let's die for them, it's really not worth it! ”
