On the third day of February in the first year of Wuding, the Qing army in northern Guangdong rushed from Changsha to the front line in northern Guangdong with a large amount of food and salary in Sang'e, the governor of Biyuan and the governor of Hunan, and immediately urged the headquarters that had arrived in Guitou and Lishi to immediately launch an attack on Shaoguan.

The morale of the Qing army in Hunan Province was high, but their opponent, the Ming army, was also waiting for him. Before the New Year, the reward of Zhaojian of the Wuding Dynasty had already reached the front line in Guangdong--the command made everyone below the rank of knight, the commander doubled the Shilu, and the number of food towns above the earl level--the officers and men of Zheng who were ready to fight for a wife and son naturally also longed for greater results.

On the 7th day of the first month of February, the Qing army arrived in Lishi, and then the troops immediately divided into two routes along the Wujiang River, and formed a confrontation with the Zheng army on the line of Calamusang, Huanggang, Panlong, and Tianxin. Because the Zheng army either set up forts or relied on hills to fortify the left bank of the Wujiang River, such as Datangbian, Caowu, and Xiakeng, the Qing army was forced to move the direction of its main attack to the right bank after several tentative attacks.

The Zheng army also built four or five forts on the hills of the remaining veins of Dagang Mountain on the first line of Wujiaotang, among which the biggest threat to the Qing army's southward movement was the small village of Heshangang, for which the Qing army deliberately intensified the offensive on this place while attacking on the whole line, and in order to deal with this small fortress with only two or three hundred people, the Qing army invested at least five or six times the number of troops.

"What's the panic, it's all one nose and two eyes, and if you hit it with lead, you will die." Seeing the Qing army with large wooden shields and ladders in their hands rushing along the hillside, Du Yutian, who commanded the first and second outposts and one-third of the artillery posts of the first regiment of the newly established Shaoguan Division as the chief of staff of the regiment (recommended by book friends squatting in the corner of the wall to catch flowers), taught this group of recruits a lesson. "Now listen to me, okay, let them get closer, closer." Looking at the enemy who had a clear face, Du Yutian shouted violently. "Hit!"

Although the Shaoguan Division was not equipped with the Zheng Army's standard rifles, the bullets fired by a full hundred bird guns still hit the wooden shields held high by the Qing army like a dense torrential rain. Of course, the penetration of the bird guns is limited, so most of the guns are blocked by the shields of the Qing army, but there are still some that hit the legs of the Qing army, and although these guys who fell to the ground due to severe pain did not die, they made a gap in the relatively tight protective formation of the Qing army.

As soon as he saw a loophole in the formation of the Qing army, the two Franco machine guns in the hands of the former Green Battalion gunner smashed them quickly. Thanks to the extremely tight formation of the Qing army, the lead bullets weighing only about two catties caused great casualties in the formation of the Qing army, and three of the solid bullets that formed ricochet caused nearly 100 casualties.

It's a pity that Du Yutian still has too little artillery in his hands, so although the Qing army was beaten to the point that the formation was chaotic for a while, the swarming Qing army still quickly approached the edge of the fort, and then, these Huguang Qing troops who had never seen the fortress were dumbfounded. They did not know whether it was better to take the two protruding lookouts or to go straight to the middle, and in hesitation, the Qing army was pushed by those behind them to the straighter middle.

By this time, Zheng's Franc cannon had retreated to the salients on both sides, and then, after firing the last volley, the bird gun also gave his place to the hand-to-hand soldiers behind him—unlike Zheng's army, there was only one team of muskets in the local division, which was the temporary number, and the number of white soldiers was twice as large.

However, the white soldiers of the Zheng army had not yet fought with the Qing army that had ascended the city, and they were first faced with a baptism of bows and arrows. The proportion of bird guns owned by the green flag soldiers in Huguang Province should be one of the lowest in the Qing army, but the right thing is that after approaching the city, the effect of these curved weapons is better than that of direct bird guns, so that the Zheng army, who was caught off guard, was shot down more than a dozen before he could raise the rattan shield in his hand.

By the time the dead and wounded Zheng army was dragged into the wall, the Qing army had already attacked the city. Looking at the emerging enemy, the recruits who had just been recruited from northern Guangdong were still trembling, but the former green battalion soldiers who had been enriched by the new annexed army had already rushed forward. These former Qing soldiers all knew that once the Qing army was victorious, their rebellious fate would inevitably be worse than that of ordinary Zheng troops, so they could only strike a desperate blow.

Under the leadership of Du Yutian and other military attaches of the Zheng army and these new annexed troops, the recruits gradually stabilized their positions, and at this time the first wave of the Qing army's troops had been driven down, and while the second wave of the Qing army's troops had not yet entered the city, the Zheng army with bows and arrows not only threw the earth-shaking thunder down the city, but also overturned several ladders.

The Qing army was not willing to be defeated and retreated, and the bird gunners and archers desperately suppressed the city, and several new ladders were subsequently re-erected. But before the Qing troops had time to climb, the gunners of the Zheng army, who had withdrawn to the two flanks and protruding lookouts, had already reloaded the four guns. The salvo of shotguns set off a bloody storm under the city, and because the targets of this time were first of all the archers and bird gunners of the Qing army under the wall, the suppressed firepower on the city was suddenly light. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zheng Jun's birdmen also boldly pressed to the top of the city and shot outward.

The Qing army, which had suffered a double blow, could no longer withstand it, and their morale was greatly defeated, and they turned and fled, but no matter how fast they fled, they could not escape the shells, and after leaving behind nearly thirty or forty corpses and similar wounded, the Green Flag soldiers fled back down the slope with a crawl.

When the Qing generals who were watching the battle were thunderous, the closed wooden door of the Heshan was opened, and a squad of Zheng soldiers walked out of the village, they first collected the weapons of the dead and wounded of the Qing army and transported them back to the village, and at the same time carried the wounded and dead one by one to a place where the Qing army could see them on the slope of the mountain, and only after completing this qiē did they return to the wall under the dumbfounded eyes of the Qing army.

"What are you doing stupidly, people have sent the brothers back, and they haven't gone up to pick them up." The adjutant general of the Qing army, who commanded Chang Dexie, scolded his subordinates with a complicated face, and then shook his head. "We can't turn a blind eye to people's benevolence and righteousness, forget it today, it's not too late to attack tomorrow"

Relying on the tenacity of Du Yutian's front-line officers and soldiers, the Zheng army blocked the onslaught of the Qing army for three consecutive days, and saw that the frontal battlefield could not be broken through lightly, Sang immediately decided to take Fubiao, raise the standard and Jingzhou garrison Eight Banners to retreat to Lishi, and the rest of the troops passed through Chongyang, Liukeng, Huozhuoling and went to Ruyuan, and then through Ruyuan along the Nanshui to Beijiang, and finally echoed back and forth, attacked from north to south, and jointly attacked Shaoguan, gathering and annihilating the main force of the Zheng army under the city.

Seeing the slowdown of the Qing army's offensive, he thought that there were still three main divisions in his hands that had not been used, and they could completely block the Qing army's attack, so he handed over the military affairs of the front line to Zuo Yiwei's division, and Tang Baoyi was temporarily under his control, and he set off to the front line of Zhaoqing to discuss the current military affairs of Guangdong with Mao Hongyan and Guangdong Governor Lu Xuefang.

On 14 February, Sang led his troops to Yunmen Mountain, northeast of Ruyuan, where Yunmen Temple is the birthplace of Yunmen Sect, one of the five major branches of Zen Buddhism in China. Yunmen Sect was once the first major sect in the world in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Zen style of Yunmen Sect has always been known as "Cloud Gate Three Sentences", the so-called "I have three sentences, show you all people." One sentence covers the world, one sentence cuts off the crowd, and one sentence follows the waves". For this former world's largest sect, Sang E is naturally very reverent, so he deliberately stayed in the temple for a day. But it was the delay of this day that made Han's branch in Ruyuan quickly report to Shaoguan.

"Huguang is related to the heart of the world, the west can enter Bashu, the north can reach Henan and Shaanxi, the south can go down the river to attack Anhui, Jiangxi and even the south of the Yangtze River, it is the most heavily guarded place for the Tartars, once our army goes north, it will not only be blocked by the Hunan Green Battalion, but also may attract the Qing army in Guizhou, Hubei and Jiangxi provinces," Mao Hongyan has been this point of view these days. "On the other hand, when entering Gui, the Qing army's Yungui troops are not easy to reinforce, as long as our army breaks through the green camp of Guilin Province, it can directly attack the city of Guilin."

"The strength of the Qing army Yungui is inconvenient to reinforce because of the rugged mountain roads, but the army of this dynasty should not overcome the shortcomings of the rugged mountain roads and waterways?" He Qian responded without giving an inch. "Even if the enemy in Guangxi is defeated, but Gui Province is barren, the soldiers and food cannot be used to replenish the army, and Guangdong Province is also very empty, how can it support the army to fight?" Speaking of this, He Qian's eyes looked at Lu Xuefang, who had been in the mud for a few days. "What does the Governor think?"

Guangdong Province is in ruins, and Lu Xuefang is not willing to stay in Zhaoqing to grind his teeth with the two of them all the time, so he pondered for a while and nodded: "In recent years, the grain in the domain has always been very scarce, if you can't get food from the Qing army, Guangdong Province alone can't support the consumption of the two armies, so this official thinks that what the adults said is very true, or it is better to go to Hunan first." ”

Although Mao Hongyan was the commander-in-chief of Guangdong, he could not match the joint efforts of He Qian, who was the deputy commander-in-chief, and Lu Xuefang, who was the governor, so he asked the two with a somewhat uncertain face: "The two adults just saw the lack of food in Guangdong Province, can't they see the lessons of Wu Sangui's attack on Hunan?" ”

He Qian was still about to ridicule him, and suddenly a nervous Wu Ben hurriedly came: "Qiqi Fuyuan, General Town, Deputy Chief Soldier He, Shaoguan sent an urgent report, saying that the Sang Forehead army has arrived in Longgui Town by detouring Ruyuan, and Lord Tang has already led his troops to the top, please Deputy General He immediately return to northern Guangdong to preside over military affairs." ”

Milk source? The eyes of the three of them immediately fell on the whole map of Central Guangdong on the side of the hall. After watching it for a long time, He Qian suddenly burst out laughing.

After laughing, He Qian looked at Mao Hongyan, who was annoyed: "Brother Changchen, God really helps me, now I am afraid that it will not work if you don't transfer troops, so I should bother you to hand over Zuo Huben and Zuo Hu Weishi." ”

"Mr. Mao, this is God's grant, and God will not take it, but will be blamed." Lu Xuefang also persuaded her. "Focus on the big picture."

Mao Hongyan smiled bitterly and nodded at He Gan: "Even if God will help you, but if you can't take the mulberry forehead, you can't beat Xiangnan, Deputy General He, Brother Defu, don't blame the old brother, I will go to the fold to participate in you."
