Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

Of course, it will take time to transfer all the equipment and personnel of the three divisions with more than [-] people from Zhaoqing in western Guangdong to Shaoguan in northern Guangdong, but Sang'e, who is attacking Ruyuan and Nanshui, will not allow Zheng Jun to calmly transfer troops Opportunity.On February [-]th, after discovering that Sang E, who was defended by Zheng Jun on the south bank of Jiangwan River, a tributary of Nanshui River, was at a loss for half a day, he finally decided to change the roundabout sneak attack into a strong attack.

The First Regiment of Zheng Jun Youwuwei Division, which was ordered to implement layers of blocking and retreat step by step, did not fight against the Qing army, and then retreated along the official road by the Nanshui River to Bianshi and Sugong, and further retreated to the Qing army before the arrival of the Qing army. Wunijiao and Liuheba and Meishantu to the west of Tongguzhou stood on standby.At this time, the shallow-water artillery fleet of the Zheng Jun Navy, which was transferred from Xijiang, also entered the front line of Longtou Village to prevent the Qing army from crossing the bridge and directly attacking Qujiang County, the capital of Shaoguan.

In order to cooperate with the actions of the Qing army on the southern line, the Qing army on the northern line that had once retreated to Lishi also returned to the Shiliting line on February [-].In view of the battle plan to lure the enemy in depth, Zheng Jun abandoned the strong fortresses and the important tax card Yuxianqiao Pass (Shaoguan West Pass) and Taiping Bridge Pass (Shaoguan East Pass) located on the banks of the Wujiang River in the Ming and Qing Dynasties along the way.

However, the Qing army who drove straight in had no bottom line when facing the missing Zheng Jun, so they hesitated after arriving at Huangnitang and Hexi Dam. I dare not easily set foot in the narrow riverside plain at the foot of Lianhua Mountain on the east bank.

On February 24, the vanguard of the Qing army on the southern line arrived at Tang, and was immediately bombarded by two shallow-water heavy artillery ships of the Zheng army, and was forced to flee from the river to the inland.In the afternoon of the same day, [-] Qing troops crossed from the South River to the North, and quickly took control of Sandu Dam and the line of Shanggao Dam, Xiagao Dam, Shangdi Dam, Xiadi Dam, and Mengzhou Dam.In the next two days, apart from building a stronghold in Sugong and leaving troops to guard the grain road, the whole division crossed the Nanshui River and arrived at Wunijiao and Tongguzhou.

"Ren Chao, your mission is extremely important." Looking at Qiu Wen, the commander of the first regiment of Zuo Yi's guards, who is also following him, Tang Baoyi explained in an elegant tone. "Only by defending Meishan Chong can we ensure that we can form a corner with the artillery positions at Zhangwuling on the opposite bank, and also ensure that the Qing army on the southern line will not go back up the river and return to the Qing army on the northern line."

Once the Qing army joins forces on the north-south line, there will be more than 5 troops. Even if some troops guarding grain roads and transshipment along the line can be deducted, there will be at least 4 Qing troops on the front line. Such a large force Even if Zheng Jun, who concentrates the main force of five divisions, can swallow it, his own losses will never be small. Therefore, it is the consensus of the whole army to divide and encircle and annihilate them one by one. Qiu Wen, who is a general's son, naturally knows how powerful it is.

"Please rest assured, my lord." Qiu Wen promised. "Where there are officials, there will be Meishan Chong, and there will be Huilongshan artillery barracks."

Tang Baoyi nodded in satisfaction, but quickly put pressure on Qiu Wen again: "The division's jumping whistle and the first and second whistles of the second regiment are also handed over to you. Be sure to block the Qing prisoners for three days. Don’t blame the military law for being ruthless.”

On February 26, the Qing army blocked by Furong Mountain discovered that they could only appear in the northern border of Shaoguan Fucheng by going upstream, so the battle started again.The Qing army tried to attack Zhangwuling first, but the mountain was high and the road was dangerous, which was not suitable for a large army to deploy. The only beach on the shore was overgrown with thorns, and the Zheng army blocked it with artillery, so it was necessary to pay a huge price to break through. .

On February 27, the Qing army had no choice but to forcibly seize Meishan Chong's first-line Zheng Jun fortress.Qiu Wen, who had already been given up by the Qing army for a day, led the team to resist desperately. The three outposts for reinforcements were supposed to have more than 200 troops. After a whole day of fighting, only less than 800 people remained. What's even more frightening is that the temporary fortress was dispatched by the Qing army. The Hongyi cannons were so damaged that the Qing army even infiltrated the village during the last attack that night.

On February 28, the Qing army stormed Meishanchong at dawn. Since Huilongshan artillery fortress could not cross the ridge line to shoot at Meishanchong, Zhangwuling Fort on the opposite bank sent dozens of small boats to carry Zuo Yiwei's guards to select the front sentry. The Qing army attacked from behind.Because the Qing army did not expect that the Zheng army on the other side would carry out reinforcements, they were caught off guard, and finally defeated by the Zheng army who cooperated from inside and outside, and were forced to delay the second attack for more than an hour.

"The Qing army has suffered this loss, and they will definitely pay attention next time. Obviously, Jiangbei has no way to repeat the old tricks." Looking at the wounded and the Qing army brigade that was being rectified in the distance, Qiu Wen said in a heavy tone. . "I've made up my mind, I can't drag it any longer, Mei Chaowu, you immediately take the wounded soldiers and the artillery sentry and retreat across Jiangbei, yes, use the boat that was brought by the front sentry."

As the commander of the first regiment, Mei Chaowu opened his mouth, but did not speak, then nodded heavily, turned his head and went out to announce Qiu Wen's order to the wounded soldiers, but he retreated not long after he went out : "Control, the brothers below don't want to leave."

"Nonsense." Qiu Wen scolded. "I can understand the feelings of the brothers below, but immediately execute the order, even if the guns are not brought, the wounded soldiers must be withdrawn across the river." Mei Chaowu retreated awkwardly, Qiu Wen raised his head and looked at the chief of staff of the regiment beside him , Yi Maosheng Zhao Baozhen said worriedly. "Now I'm worried about whether Qinglu will give us time to evacuate."

But the Qing army's offensive did not come. On the one hand, the Qing army also suffered heavy losses and needed to be reorganized. On the other hand, it was also a return for Zheng Jun to let the Qing army withdraw the wounded and dead. Of course, the Qing army may still be wishful thinking. I hope that all the Zheng troops will withdraw, but Qiu Wen took this opportunity to withdraw the supply post across the river.

Looking at the small boat carrying the retreating troops, Qiu Wen ordered to Zhao Baozhen lightly: "Zhao Canrong, next you should withdraw with the sword and shield soldiers, jump swings, and pick forwards, but you didn't withdraw across the river." Go, but go back to the Longshan artillery barracks for reinforcements, how about it, do you have the confidence to die, if not, go across the river as soon as possible."

"Is Zhizhi an aggressive general?" Zhao Baozhen, whose right hand was injured, twitched the corner of his mouth, and then shook his head. "I really like this, but I won't go back to Longshan. Let me stay in Meishanchong. After all, it's Qinglu's greatest record to die as a regimental commander. As for the chief of staff, Qinglu may not know what it is. official."

"Shen Rong can talk, but I also promised to control the people. I am in the fortress, and now I can't keep it. I should also promise. There are still a few homes that I want to send to my family. So." Qiu Wen turned his head to look at Zhao Baozhen's face. "Going back to Longshan, I'd better ask Brother Anshan."

Watching the officers and soldiers withdraw from the back door with various emotions such as luck, relief, worry, doubt, etc., Qiu Wen looked at the [-] riflemen lined up in front of him and the knives left behind by [-] volunteers. The shield soldier, Qiu Wen's eyes suddenly turned red: "Come here, bring the wine up, drink this bowl of farewell wine, we will be good brothers when we get to the Underworld"

Before noon, the Qing army launched an attack again. The remnants of the first regiment first used gunpowder platoons, and then threw thunder and barrel guns to resist.The Qing army was blown up by the wanton flying iron pieces, pottery pieces, and sawdust, but relying on the absolute superiority in military strength, the Qing army finally crossed the dilapidated fort wall and forced Zheng Jun into the narrow village.

Although Zheng Jun's musketeers formed a formation to resist, but this time the Qing army was able to use bird guns, bows and arrows to snipe and kill Zheng Jun's soldiers one by one.Seeing the peers around him fall down one by one, Qiu Wen retreated into the last stone room.After another quarter of an hour, the Qing army cleared all the Zheng troops in the village, and began to carefully search the houses in the village.At this time, someone discovered the tightly closed stone chamber, and the crashing sound began.Qiu Wen forced his eyes to sit in the piles of gunpowder and waited, and the sound of the wooden door shattering sounded.Qiu Wen immediately aimed at the door and pulled the trigger, and the bullet of the short-fired gun immediately hit a person through the door.The yelling Qing army attracted dozens of comrades, but the Qing army who rushed into the stone room saw the most terrifying scene in their lives. With the sound of an explosion, Qiu Wenlian and dozens of Qing soldiers around him were killed. among.

"My lord! Master Zhi!" Hearing the last muffled thunder suddenly, the retreating personnel of the Zheng army who were marching towards the top of the mountain on the mountain road behind Zhai looked back, only seeing the huge pillar of fire rising from Meishan, and immediately fell to their knees one by one. On the ground, weeping uncontrollably. "Let me go, let me go back, and die with Lord Commander."

"Stupid." Zhao Baozhen raised his hand and slapped the leader who cried the most in front of him. "Why did Master Zhu die? It's not because he was defending the Huilongshan fortress. As long as the fortress is in place, the Qing prisoners will not be able to cross the river, and they will not be able to attack the Qujiang River. There is only one way to destroy." Zhao Baozhen's words made the officers and soldiers who shared the same hatred Their faces calmed down. "Master Commander deserved his death, so should we also abide by our mission?" Seeing many of his subordinates who showed firmness, Zhao Baozhen nodded, and then ordered: "Let's go, go back to Longshan Cannon Fortress."

Although the Qing army finally took control of Chongbaozhai in Meishan after a lot of effort, they found Zheng Jun's retreating soldiers, but they didn't intend to pursue them at first. It was found that Zheng Jun actually built a fort in the depression behind the ridgeline, and there were three [-]-jin cannons arranged on it.But this kind of paralysis is only temporary. Once the Qing army sent out sentries or used wooden platoons and wooden boats to carry troops southward, they would clearly discover the mystery. But before that, these loyal and brave soldiers were still safe.

On the first day of March, in view of the fact that Meishan Chong had already been obtained, and the Qing army in the upper reaches of the Nanshui River had also sent nearly [-] civilian boats and hundreds of rafts, Sang E confidently gave the order to attack, but Sang E still had a little Rational, he knew that it would be reckless to attack Shaoguan Fucheng directly with this force, so his first goal was to send a boat back up the river to hook up with another army of his own in Wujiang. It was precisely because of his order that a one-sided The massacre begins
