In the 39th year of Yongli in the Ming Dynasty and the 24th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, on August 6000th, after a small confrontation that lasted for more than a month, the two armies of Qing and Zheng ushered in a decisive battle at the northern border road of Lehui County, Qiongzhou Prefecture.In this service, the Qing army sent more than [-] troops to the Green Battalion in the three provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hunan, and Guangzhou to garrison the Eight Banners, and there were more than [-] Yong in Qiongbei Township, while the Zheng army had only three left and right Yongwei and Zuo Longxiang. The division counts seven regiments and one team directly under the third division, and the total number of combat troops is less than [-].

As soon as the battle started, the Qing army bombarded Zheng Jun's line with red cannons, trying to break up Zheng Jun's organizational system to facilitate the next move.However, Zheng Jun relied on a number of discontinuous low walls cast by cement as cover, causing most of the artillery fire of the Qing army to miss, and a few hits were also blocked by the low walls and failed to cause serious damage.Of course, the Qing army's artillery fire also had a very small number of direct hits on the target, but the tenacious Zheng Jun still gritted his teeth and held on.

After shelling for less than half an hour, the Qing army stopped shelling in order to prevent the artillery from exploding due to overheating.At this time, the Qing army, led by 2000 people from the left, middle, and right sides, had already stepped forward slowly to a place less than [-] steps away from the Zheng army.

"What the hell is the Qing army doing?" According to common sense, after the bombardment, the cavalry should be the first to rush into the battle, so as to further aggravate the chaos of the opponent. However, there is a shortage of qualified war horses in Guangdong, Guangxi and Hunan, and there are very few cavalry in the green camps of the three places. In addition, the Eight Banners, which were famous for their bravery in the past, had long been corrupted. Therefore, there was a strange scene in the Qing army where troops cleared the way for the cavalry. "Don't care about them, order the artillery to open fire and defeat these traitors!"

After the order was issued, there was lightning and thunder, and infinite light and heat burst out from the seemingly dead Zheng Jun's front.With the firing of lead bullets, deformation and cracks appeared on the originally neat front of the Qing army.However, at this time, the Qing army had already rushed within a hundred steps, and only heard a cry, thousands of Qing troops scrambled towards Zheng Jun's defense line.

The gunners of the Zheng army, who were ordered to turn over and climb onto the low wall, fired in unison. Although the accuracy of the deer guns was extremely poor at this distance, the formation of the Qing army was tight, so by chance, quite a few Qing troops fell down. On the way to charge.Of course, the Zheng army was not harmless. Under the counterattack of several Qing army gunmen who followed the charge, hundreds of Zheng army shooters fell from the low wall after being shot, and never got up again.

It was approaching, and recently, it had reached a distance of fifty steps. At this time, several large boxes were erected one by one on the hastily set up rejection horses by Zheng Jun.Seeing this scene, the older Qing soldiers vaguely remembered something, and subconsciously slowed down their pace, but more Qing soldiers rushed closer, brandishing weapons.A spark flashed from the back of the big box, and then there was a screaming sound, and hundreds of sharp arrows propelled by gunpowder shot towards the head.

"Hundred tigers run together!" The Qing army screamed, rolling and crawling, but this is not just a hundred tigers running together, thousands of tigers, ten thousand tigers are almost the same, and the trajectory of the rocket leaving the nest is simply difficult to measure. The power of the attack reached its maximum again, and the Qing army could not be dodged at all, so almost in an instant, the Qing army who rushed forward was shot into a large area.

But the strength of the Qing army seemed endless, the front team was still whining, and the rear team followed up again. Seeing that it was too late for Zheng Jun to set up a new swarm, at this time, Zheng Jun's swords and shields were blocking the gaps in the low walls. They quickly threw the Thunderbolt outward.Under the cover of countless sprays, gunpowder smoke, and bullet fragments stirred up by the continuous explosion, the gunner fired the last round of bullets, and then retreated to the second low wall.

The sword and shield hands spread out behind the low wall, and Zheng Jun's gun team appeared in the position to get out of the way.The dense forest of three long spears stabbed fiercely, and the Xianggui Green Camp, which had almost never seen such a long weapon, seemed to be in a forest of spears.In just one round, a lot of blood was lost on all fronts, and the forward formation was frustrated at that time.

Although there were also brave men in the Qing army who fought desperately without fear of pain, with bones, shields, knives and axes all in battle, but the Zheng army had more than one row of guns, and the squad of 50 people was stabbing back and forth, forcing the Qing army to fight back and forth. The army retreated back.

At this time, the cavalry of the Eight Banners finally rushed up, but before the Manchurians showed their skills, the archers of the Zheng army who retreated to the second low wall thirty steps away spoke again.Due to the decline in physical fitness caused by arrogance and lust after entering the customs and the heat in southern Guangdong, the banner soldiers who originally claimed to be able to approve double or even triple cotton armor now only wear single armor, so they often shoot with a blunderbuss. The horse was beaten to the ground together.

The flag soldiers who regarded the green camp as their gray grandchildren had never suffered such a disadvantage. They immediately yelled, turned around and rushed towards their own way.With them taking the lead, a group of green battalion turned around and ran away without showing any sign of weakness. Ever since, this inevitable attack rolled back like a sea wave hitting a rock—the tide receded.

Although the Qing army retreated, the recovering Zheng Jun artillery fire was unwilling to let them go like this. After a burst of overwhelming baptism, the Qing army left at least hundreds of corpses and more than multiple wounded

The Zheng Jun sword and shield fighters who came out to cut off the heads of the Qing army showed off their power, and the generals of the Qing army were furious. If you have been useless, even if someone asks He Fu to fight again.

Although He Fu insisted on going south to Qiongzhou to destroy Zheng Jun, he did not want to take risks. This time he went to the battle because of the frequent alarms in western Guangdong, and Guangdong strictly ordered him to deal with Zheng Jun in Qiongzhou. As a last resort.Seeing Zheng Jun's firepower before, he intended to give up, but he flatly refused because the army wanted to fight, so the Qing army made a comeback after sitting down for a while.However, the Qing army's offensive method was rigid, and the routine was always inconvenient. Therefore, although relying on the superiority of troops to seize two low walls in a row, forcing Zheng's army to retreat steadily, in this way, its own casualties exceeded the [-] mark.It can be seen that the blood of the people who asked for the war was shed, and the will of the generals of the Qing army was shaken, and the war fell into a stalemate.

But the Qing army stopped attacking, but the Zheng army found an opportunity, so taking advantage of the depressed morale and low fighting spirit of the Qing army officers and soldiers, the Zheng army launched a counterattack in a timely manner, and finally regained the two lost low walls in one fell swoop. Although the Qing army repeatedly fired artillery, But they were no longer able to launch a strong attack. So far, the battle of that day has come to a halt. Although the Zheng army held the position with relatively small casualties, the Qing army still has the advantage in strength, and the two sides have fallen into a stalemate again.

At the time of the battle at Da Daokou, according to the three-way joint attack plan formulated by He Fu, the Qing army on the East Road also marched south from Wenchang County to join the county.At this time, only a regiment of more than [-] men from Zuo Longxiang's division was guarding Huitong County, which was less than a quarter of the Qing army's strength. In addition, the city wall of Huitong County was relatively long and difficult to defend, so after a little resistance, So the whole regiment retreated to the preset position near the county government for a long time.

The Qing army rushing into the city was full of ambition, thinking that victory was imminent, but they were soon smashed in front of many small bastions built by dismantling residential buildings.Since the news of the victory had already been reported to Qiongzhou at the beginning of entering the city, the Qing army who was riding a tiger had no choice but to set fire to the city, trying to force Zheng Jun out.However, Zheng Jun had already built a fireproof partition, and what the Qing Army did was only a negligible contribution to global warming.

Around the evening of August [-], an unexpected light rain extinguished the embers of the congregational fire.

Taking advantage of the coolness of the world, the Qing army planned a night attack, but it was discovered by Zheng Jun not long after the launch, and they could only continue to return without success.

Just when the general of the Qing army on the East Road was helpless in the face of the hedgehog-like Zheng Jun bastion, a regiment of the Zheng Jun Zuoyongwei Army was carried by the navy from Changke Port to land.Although Changke Port is called a port, it is an inaccessible seaside beach, usually only a few fishermen settle here and there to avoid the wind.Zheng Jun, who landed on the shoulders, carried six two-inch guns and artillery carts through the dense mangrove belt after untold hardships, and appeared behind the besieging Qing army overnight.

Although the Qing army also took precautions against the possible night attack of the Zheng army, the focus of the Qing army's defense was in the area south of the county seat. It might as well be that the Zheng army rushed out from behind, causing chaos for a while.But misfortunes never come singly. Zuo Longxiang's division, which was guarding the county government, also took advantage of the momentum to fight out.

Regardless of fatigue, Zheng Jun pursued and killed them all night. Huang Qi, who joined the army as a division, personally led Yishao back to the sea, and used the navy to transport them to Wenchang Qinglan Port for landing.At dawn, part of the defeated Qing army appeared in the south of Wenchang City.Before these terrified Qing troops could catch their breath, Huang Qi's troops suddenly rushed out, drove the Qing troops straight into Wenchang, and took advantage of the situation to firmly control the south gate of Wenchang.

The Qing army who stayed behind in Wenchang mistook the Zheng army for being more powerful because they believed the words of the defeated soldiers, and Huang Qi's actions to control the south gate made him misjudge that he was the vanguard of the Zheng army, so they fled without fighting and abandoned the city. As a result, more than 5000 Qing troops were defeated with just over [-] troops, and Wenchang County was occupied to obtain a large number of black tonics left by the Qing army.

Wenchang's change of hands caused the Qing army to exaggerate the strength of the Zheng army, and the Qiongzhou side sent three alerts a day to the front line of the Daokou, begging He Fu, who took all the soldiers and horses, to return to Baofu City.He Fu was unable to shake Zheng Jun's front line for a while and was afraid of being double-teamed by Zheng Jun's front and back. In addition, the Qing army on the West Road had been slow to advance, so he made the decision to withdraw his troops for the sake of final safety.

On August [-]th, He Fu's troops retreated to Qiongzhou on their own initiative. After hearing that the Qiongbei war was not going well, they were grateful that the frontline Qing army also withdrew to Changhua on August [-]th, so the Qiongzhou war was suspended.Zheng Jun not only got the opportunity to rest and supplement, but also obtained a considerable amount of supplies from the Qing army. More importantly, Zheng Jun got the necessary time, so that the movement of relocating people to Taiwan that was interrupted by the windy season continue again
