With the help of Li Shizhen, a famous doctor in the world, Hu Zongxian poisoned thousands of Japanese soldiers at one time, and finally beheaded more than 700 people, which greatly boosted the morale of the Ming army. When Chen Dong led Xu Hai's main force back to take revenge, Hu Zongxian unexpectedly set up an ambush again in Shitang Bay...... After two battles, he thought that this place would be extremely safe, but he was stunned by the Ming army that had been killed again, and after a fight, he left more than 400 corpses and went north.

In this battle, the Ming army was defeated first and then won, beheading more than 1,000 people, known as the 'Shitang Bay Victory' in history.

Receiving the news that the Japanese had finally entered the trap, Zhang Jing was relieved, leaving Li Tianzhong to lead 10,000 officers and troops to continue to monitor Wang Zhibu, while he himself led his soldiers to leave quietly at night.

Li Tianzhong is also a resourceful general, he knew that the Japanese were afraid of the soldiers, so he ordered the subordinates standing guard to wear blue clothes and wrap black turbans, creating the illusion that the soldiers were still in the camp, which really made the Japanese invaders afraid and did not come back until the end of the battle.

At the same time as Zhang Jing set off, he immediately ordered Yu Dayou to supervise Yongshun's troops to set off and go north to look at Pingwang in order to stifle the retreat of the Japanese invaders. He also ordered Hu Zongxian and Lu Bo to lead the Baojing soldiers to chase the enemy. At the same time, he ordered Tang Kekuan's sailor to attack in the middle. The four-way army marched in unison, surrounding the east, west and south of the Japanese Kou, as long as they could not go north, they would definitely be surrounded by the Ming army!

Until this time, Xu Hai and Chen Dong did not realize that they had been surrounded by the Ming army...... They still thought that the Ming army they encountered in Shitang Bay was a heavy army arranged by Zhang Jing to garrison Jiahang...... The two were robbing rather than rebelling, and had no interest in bloody attacks.

Xu Hai said to Chen Dong: "Brother, the more than 20,000 troops of the Ming army in Chuanshawa are real. ”

"Fifteen or six thousand in Shitang Bay is not imaginary." Chen Dong nodded and said: "Let's fight in another place, anyway, there are many rich cities in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and he Zhang Jing can scatter beans into soldiers, and it is impossible for them all to be so firmly guarded."

"Well, I calculated that Zhang Jing was out of soldiers." Xu Hai nodded fiercely and said, "Let's go to Suzhou, it must be very empty." ”

After a total of this. In the early morning of the seventeenth day of the lunar month, the Japanese invaders fled from Jiaxing to Tangjiahu and prepared to cross the Wujiang River to the north to Suzhou.

Who knew that Tang Shunzhi and Tan Lun had been waiting for a long time, and the two led two thousand Wujiang soldiers...... And 20,000 local people barrage the river to store water, when the Japanese are about to arrive at the Wujiang River, the first to break the weir embankment, for a time the water is surging, the Japanese can not cross the river at all.

Tan Lun said regretfully: "It's a pity that it's a dry season now, if it's the spring and summer flood season, this time I can feed Xu Hai to Wang Ba." ”

Tang Shun wore a military uniform on his body, and said with a smile: "It's enough to ......" and personally commanded the Shaoxing Navy he trained, took thirty fast boats, and took advantage of the water to attack the Japanese boats. The Japanese were good at land warfare rather than water warfare, and more than a dozen ships were taken away, and the rest were all burned.

The Japanese were unable to cross the river, so they had to retreat to Pingwang. Since the dispatch of the troops, they have suffered setbacks one after another, and their vigor has been lost. Xu Hai and Chen Dong also realized that they might be tricked, so they drove their subordinates back the same way, wanting to return to Tuolin's lair and end this unsuccessful sortie.

When they returned to Wangjiangjing, because they were worried that their subordinates were demoralized, tired and hungry, and feared that something bad would happen in case of an ambush, Xu Hai ordered the troops to be stationed temporarily. Because the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal passes through the town, Xu Hai divided his troops to garrison the two main roads in the north and south of the canal - Qiumao Bridge and Yangjia Bridge...... The main force was stationed in Wangjiangjing Town to eat and rest. At this time, the Japanese army had gathered more than 8,000 people, all of whom were capable of fighting.

But they didn't rest for long, Hu Zongxian and Lu Bo's pursuers finally arrived, and the two sides fought at Qiu Mao Bridge in the south of Wangjiangjing in the early morning of the 19th.

After a series of victories, the Ming army has completely played a momentum, Hu Zongxian general general of the situation that the Japanese have been surrounded by all kinds of armies, all the troops are happy, especially the Baojing native soldiers under their command, lest they be robbed of their military achievements, and launched wave after wave of crazy attacks towards Qiu Mao Bridge.

But are they easy to do? The two sides fought over the nine-zhang stone bridge repeatedly, with stumps and broken bodies covering the bridge deck, and blood staining the canal red for miles.

The Ming army originally had only more than 6,000 people, and it only lasted two hours with a momentum, and then it gradually deflated. Hu Zongxian saw the clues, and personally commanded a hundred swords and axes to supervise the battle behind the battle, those who did not approach died, those who retreated died, and they hesitated to die the same! Only then did he barely hold the situation, but he also knew that if the other troops did not come again, the collapse of the defense line was certain.

Just as he was about to despair, a red cloud rose on the eastern horizon and rolled in. When they got closer, Hu Zongxian and Lu Bo finally saw clearly that this was a red-scarf-wrapped army, and couldn't help shouting in unison: "Red-headed army!" ”

As soon as they heard that it was the famous red-headed army, the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and the Japanese were obviously quite jealous of this name, and the morale of the two sides was reversed at once, and the Japanese finally withdrew their troops and retreated back to Wang Jiangjing, and the Ming army finally held the line of defense that was about to collapse.

Hu Zongxian and Lu Bo were extremely excited, and the two of them hurried towards this rare reinforcement. As soon as the two sides met, the red-headed soldiers squatted on the ground and gasped, and many even fainted on the spot. The two of them found Ding Wei and Ding Yaoshi, who were extremely tired, and only then did they know that it was General Yu who was worried that he would not be able to hold this side, so he ordered the red-headed army to come to reinforce first. Ding's father and son led their men to run for a hundred miles, without a single break in between...... Ding only stood up straight with his waist bent, and smiled apologetically: "It's too late, I didn't help much." ”

Hu and Lu shook their heads and laughed: "It's not early, it's not too late, it's just in time!" ”

In any case, Thu Mo Kiu is defended. In the afternoon, Yu Dayou led the army to arrive, and in the evening, Tang Kekuan's sailors also arrived, at this time the number of the Ming army was more than three times that of the Japanese invaders, and the bullfighting was a good opportunity to break the enemy!

Tang Kekuan, Lu Bo, Yu Dayou, and Hu Zongxian held a battlefield meeting, and Tang Kekuan had the highest position among the people, and he thought that he should wait for Governor Zhang to arrive before launching a general attack. Hu Zongxian disagreed, he said to the generals: "I see that Xu Hai, the leader of the bandits, is also in the formation, and the Japanese under his command are extremely elite, if they don't take advantage of their morale frustration to take the opportunity to attack, once they recover their vitality, they will definitely escape from the trail!" ”

Yu Dayou and Lu Bo also agreed with Hu Zongxian's opinion, and Tang Kekuan had no choice but to agree to control all the land passages in Wangjiangjing with his army first, and then attack the enemy at dawn.

After a night of arrangement, when the trumpet was fired, Hu Zongxian and Lu Boring still attacked north from Thu Mo Bridge, and Tang Kekuan and Yu Dayou attacked from the left and right.

The vanguard is the red-headed army with amazing recovery ability, Ding's father and son are the first soldiers, and the family soldiers will swear to the death, brave the blade to fight, like a sharp red tassel gun, and attack the bridge at once.

The front soldiers are sharp, and the rear formation takes advantage of it, and the army kills from all directions, shouting and killing is earth-shattering...... The villagers from the nearby counties also rushed to help, just like Han Xin's ambush on all sides, which made the Japanese invaders break their hearts and completely lose their fighting spirit...... They were both exhausted and sick from hunger, and they fought on their backs, attacked on three sides, so they were defeated!!

As soon as Xu Hai saw that the big thing was not good, he immediately took his two thousand elites to recognize the east and run, and the rest of the people died He was not distressed, anyway, as long as Daming Hai couldn't open it, it would be easy to replenish the troops.

As soon as Chen Dong saw the boss running away, he also followed closely with his five hundred irons. Before the rest of the Japanese could react, they had already been abandoned by the two bosses, where is there any reason to fight again? Then they abandoned the ground one after another, fled in all directions, and suffered many blades on the ground, or knelt and begged countless people, and the Ming army captured more than 2,000 levels and captured more than 800 people.

But the generals did not dare to relax at all, because Xu Hai and Chen Dong took more than 4,000 widows, jumped over the wall in a hurry, rushed and beat violently, and really broke out of the encirclement. Hu Zongxian and the three generals led the army to chase after them, capturing and beheading more than 1,000 Japanese criminals along the way, and they continued to chase forty miles away.

Xu Hai came out to mix for so many years, and it was the first time that he was so embarrassed, he rode on a horse, turned around and scolded: "The dog is chasing, can you catch up with Lao Tzu?" ”

The Ming army really couldn't catch up, and the two sides were already several miles apart...... But if you want to catch a group of people, in addition to chasing, there is a better way, which is to stop!

When the Japanese invaders fled to a village called Zhou Jiabang, they only heard the sound of a cannon, and a general with silver armor and two swords led 5,000 soldiers to block Xu Hai's way.

Monk Xu didn't read it now, and he hissed to his subordinates: "If you can't break through this line of defense, this is our grave." Saying that, he looked up to the sky and yelled: "But I don't want to die!" The group of pirates were aroused by the leader, and shouted in unison: "Kill it!" Under the leadership of Xu Hai and Chen Dong, they rushed towards the soldiers frantically.

On one side is the ferocious widow who is still fighting the trapped beast, and on the other side is the brave soldier with a rainbow of momentum, and the tragic battle has begun again!

The Japanese who are still fighting now are all the elites of Xu Haibu, and they are all outlaws with high martial arts, and they are indeed much stronger than the soldiers, but Mrs. Washi led her children to fight to the death and did not retreat, paying the price of a thousand people, and resisted the Japanese for half an hour.

The red-headed army chasing after finally came up, and Yu Dayou's Yongshun native soldiers also came to the tail and gave the final blow to the returning Japanese from behind, destroying all the Japanese from the boiling soup and pouring snow.

After the war, the results of the battle were counted, and in the battle of Wang Jiangjing alone, more than 6,000 people were beheaded, nearly 2,000 people were captured, and more than 500 swords were captured. Among them, the bandit leader Chen Dong was seriously injured and captured, but the more important Xu Hai was nowhere to be found......
