The Sun Never Sets Great China

Zhuge Ming led the troops to "Xieziwa" first, and ordered the people to dig ditches of different depths in various places in the depression, generally more than ten feet long, one foot wide, and three to seven feet deep.After digging, Zhuge Ming ordered people to cover the ditch with a straw mat, propped it up with a few thin bamboo poles inside, nailed two iron nails into the soil on both sides of the straw mat, and then covered the straw mat with floating soil and turf. Cover, from a distance, if you don't look carefully, you can't see it.

After these tasks were completed, Zhuge Ming ordered the militiamen and [-] militiamen to move to the gap in the south, and immediately started to build an earth dam. At the same time, three dams with a width of [-] feet and a depth of [-] feet were dug at the same time. In order to complete the work as long as the earth dam, all the militiamen and militiamen have been fighting for two days and one night. After dark, the entire project has been completed.

While the peasants were desperately digging ditches, the [-] cavalry sent by Zhuge Ming to lure the Qing army had successfully lured the Qing army to "Xieziwa", where they joined forces with the main force of the Chinese Revolutionary Army who had been on standby for a long time. Join forces together, and at this time, it is almost dark.The two sides engaged in a small-scale engagement before dark, but after dark, they each retreated to camp.

Seeing that the plan to contain the Qing army here had been successful, Zhuge Ming ordered all the troops of the Chinese Revolutionary Army to withdraw secretly to the nearby highlands while it was dark, leaving only an empty tent in place to continue to confuse the Qing army.And he himself went to the embankment of the Baihe River to preside over the embankment digging. With the efforts of the three engineering regiments, three gaps were successfully dug in the embankment when Choushi was approaching. The rush got bigger and bigger, and within half an hour, the three gaps merged into one, and the river water mixed with mud rushed towards the middle of the depression.

Yue Le was sleeping soundly, when suddenly he heard noises in his dream, and then his own soldiers ran in to report: "General, the northern camp is flooded! And the flood is coming towards the big tent of the Chinese army!"

Yue Le's drowsiness disappeared after hearing this, he pushed the woman in his arms away, and said, "It's not raining, where did the water come from?" Before the soldiers could answer, he suddenly remembered something, and shouted: "Oh! I How did you forget the terrain and the river next to it?" For him who is familiar with "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the story of Guan Yu flooding the Seventh Army is very familiar, and familiarity is familiar, but he is not very good at using it. Zhuge Ming, who is not well-known, knows how to use it, and he still uses it on himself.

Yue Le immediately ordered the whole army to withdraw from the camp and retreat to a higher place.But before the tent was dismantled, the water had already reached his ankles, and it was still rising.Seeing this scene, Yue Le didn't care about the tent anymore. Seeing the water flowing to the south, he immediately ordered the whole army to abandon their luggage and run to the north where the terrain is higher.But just after the Qing army's former army ran for less than half a mile, many people stepped on the trap and fell. At this time, some ditches were filled with water, making many Qing soldiers immediately become fish and turtles.

Now Yue Le finally understood why the Ming army dug those trenches, so he had no choice but to order the whole army to stop, return to the camp, and prepare to remove the bamboo poles and wood that supported the tent and make a raft.

It was finally dawn, and Yue Le stood in the waist-deep water, looking at his subordinates who were also standing in the water, wanting to cry without tears. He regretted why he didn't listen to the general Yang who had betrayed Huang Ziya and Zhang Huahan and then surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Zhan Zhan's advice, insisting on a decisive battle with the Ming army, he regretted why he didn't send someone to check the terrain first, and set up the camp on a higher ground.

At this time, the Qing army had set up hundreds of rafts, but there were too many monks and few porridge. Less than [-]% of the Qing army could swim. Many rafts capsized as a result.

What annoyed Yue Le even more was that the soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army sat in small groups on sheepskin rafts, kept approaching the Qing army, and disrupted the Qing army's position with random guns. Many Qing soldiers died because of this. When the soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army wanted to chase down the soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, those soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army calmly rowed the sheepskin rafts away, or led the Qing army into the vicinity of the trap, causing the Qing army to lose some troops.

The Chinese Revolutionary Army dealt with the Qing army in this way, and they didn't seem to be in a hurry to destroy the Qing army. It seemed that the Qing army had been regarded by them as a fish in a net and had become an object of their will.

Yue Le ordered the Qing army to organize death squads several times to attack the Ming army on rafts, but because their rafts were extremely heavy, and the firearms and gunpowder they carried were all soaked in water, it was impossible to attack them with only a few bows and arrows. Confronted with the firearms of the Ming army, and the sheepskin rafts of the Ming army were light, flexible, and fast, the Qing army could not catch up, and instead became living targets on the raft.

The Eight Banners cavalry of the Ten Thousand Clans seemed to be a little luckier than the infantry. They could ride on horses, but soon the horses under their crotches were drowned, making them also become infantry.

The muddy river showed no mercy for the situation of the Qing army. It was still rising tenaciously, and soon reached Azig's chest, but then stopped rising because the water had overflowed the earth dam to the south.Zhuge Ming learned that the earth dam in the south had been flooded, and at this time the flow of water at the gap in the Baihe River had slowed down, so he urgently ordered the engineering corps to block the gap.

After a day of hard fighting, more than 4 people were drowned by the Qing army and shot dead by soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and most of them were exhausted due to prolonged soaking in the water. Some people fainted in the water from time to time. If people save each other, they will become a floating corpse after a while.

Yue Le summoned the remaining generals to discuss countermeasures on a raft, but no one said a word, their faces livid.Seeing this scene, Yue Le said angrily: "The imperial court usually treats you well, and you ask the imperial court for this and that one by one. The imperial court responds to every request, so why did you treat you badly? Now that the army is in trouble, you are one by one. Like wooden people, what is the use of the court to support you?" He saw the contemptuous expression on Yang Zhan's face by the light of the torch, so he shouted: "Yang Zhan! Tell me, how should our army break through now?"

Yang Zhan was originally resenting Azig for not listening to advice, laughing at him as a reckless man who didn't know the art of war, when he suddenly heard Azige calling him, he felt a chill in his heart, remembering that he was his general after all, and his life was at stake He put his contempt in his hand immediately, and said: "From the point of view of the general, it is completely dark now. Although it is not good for our army to break through, it is even more bad for the defense of the Ming army. We might as well make a move now." Bloodline."

After hearing this, Azige let out a squeak, and said, "Looking at your face, I thought you had some great plan, but I didn't expect this to be the only way. What you can think of, this king has already thought of it. What else do you want to say?"

Yang Zhan continued: "Don't worry, my lord. The general hasn't finished talking yet. The general thinks that in the current situation, it is impossible for the whole army to break through the siege. Only by 'striking from the east to attack the west' can the lord escape smoothly." Said After finishing, he stopped and looked at Yue Le's face.With a sullen face, Yue Le said, "Go ahead!"

With an attitude of going all out, Yang Zhan said: "The plan of the last general is: Your Excellency can send a few lieutenants to lead the army to break through to the south. At this time, the water is still flowing south, so the speed of the raft must be faster. Wait for them After walking a certain distance, my lord will lead thousands of soldiers and take dozens of rafts to the northeast, so that my lord can escape safely." Yue Le said: "The general's 20-odd army is Don’t you want it?” Yang Zhan said, “If you keep the green hills, you don’t have to worry about running out of firewood. As long as your lord’s people are safe, it’s no problem to organize hundreds of thousands of troops. Besides, the court’s army also needs such veterans like your lord. general."

Yue Le said: "You put it lightly! There are still 21 disciples from the Eight Banners of the Three Clans and 20 Han Musketeers in the army. Among these people are old subordinates who have followed the king for many years, and more than [-] Musketeers are also gathered all over the country. Support the troops and weapons that our landlords and scholastics have raised for the imperial court, and ask this general to abandon them, not to mention that this general does not agree, even the Manchu generals around this general do not agree!" After finishing speaking, he looked back With the generals around him.

These generals lowered their heads one by one, they were all thinking about Yang Zhan's words in their hearts, thinking about their current situation, they didn't speak a word.In the eyes of these people, those Mongolian and Han soldiers are just tools for them to rob money and women, and they can be sacrificed at any time, even those Manchu soldiers can be sacrificed, but since Yue Le said In this case, how could they object, so they had to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Seeing that these people were silent, Yang Zhan was very anxious. He didn't want to be caught by the Chinese Revolutionary Army. Back then, he was the one who took the lead in betraying the current Chinese Revolutionary Army. How many former guards did he kill? For officers and soldiers, once caught, there is no way for him to survive.But what he didn't expect was that Yue Le was actually more anxious than him.The reason why he made such a statement just now was just to make an appearance in front of everyone, lest someone say that he is heartless and ungrateful in the future, and it will be difficult to lead soldiers again. Some regrets, now he only wants one or two considerate generals to come out to rescue him.

Yue Le looked at the faces of the generals one by one. When he saw the deputy general Bahana, Bahana's mouth moved.Yue Le was overjoyed, and thought: "Open your mouth quickly! Persuade me quickly! Your mother, you are an old veteran and you don't understand human affairs. I can't blame you for being a lieutenant with Azig for so many years. You are still a lieutenant general after following me, hurry up and wink, I will recommend you to the court as the chief general if you wink, and I will definitely make your wish come true.” Yue Le looked at Bahana eagerly, only wishing that what he said just now Don't frighten him with insincere statements.

Bahana didn't move, and Yue Le's teeth were itching from hatred, but finally someone spoke up, Li Huaifang was so clever, he saw what Yue Le meant, and said: "The last general thinks what General Yang said is true, If your lord succeeds in breaking through, you can lead your troops back to take revenge. My lord, please make up your mind! I believe those soldiers of our Manchu Qing know your difficulties, and they will definitely want you to break through!" Bahana thought to himself: "I'm afraid that as soon as you break through, all the Han people will surrender and know your difficulties." Bahana is an honest man, but he is not stupid.

Yue Le breathed a sigh of relief, and he said: "Is this, since you said so, then let General Ben consider it, do you have any other opinions?" He looked at everyone.Everyone understood Yue Le's intentions at this time, so they all said: "The last general has no objection, I hope the general will make a plan early!"

Yue Le saw that the show was enough, so he sent an order to three Eight Banners lieutenants and 26 Han army lieutenants to lead the army to break out of the encirclement to the south, while he himself led more than 150 personal soldiers on a hundred rafts and stayed where they were , The remaining [-] horses of the Qing army rode on the other ten rafts.

When Zhuge Ming learned that the Qing army had broken through, he immediately ordered the Chinese Revolutionary Army to attack on the way.Zhuge Ming had already prepared for the Qing army's night breakout. Thousands of sheepskin rafts were scattered all over the place. There was a drummer on each raft. When the Qing army was found, the drummer immediately beat the drum with a rapid drumbeat, and one person He raised the torch in his hand high and drew circles in the air. Seeing this, other drummers nearby immediately started beating the drums, so the Chinese Revolutionary Army gathered here one after another to stop the fleeing Qing army.At the same time, the Chinese Revolutionary Army still floated dozens of large rafts on the water, spread thin iron sheets on the rafts, and piled huge haystacks on the iron sheets. In front of the "torch" of the Chinese Communist Party, the Qing army had nothing to hide, and they were all exposed to the firepower of the Chinese Revolutionary Army.

Although Zhuge Ming had arranged soldiers to be vigilant everywhere, it was impossible to make the siege airtight after all. Yue Le's hundreds of rafts finally passed through a gap in the encirclement of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and the soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army also Seeing the enemy, they all raised their guns to shoot. Yue Le lay on the raft, "Hurry up, hurry up!" Yue Le shouted, and asked the generals such as Yang Zhan, Li Huaifang and Bahana to organize the soldiers of the Qing army Block the Chinese Revolutionary Army soldiers who are chasing.

The gunshots continued, and Yue Le found that Bahana led a thousand Qing soldiers, and most of them were shot dead soon. The water was black and red, and the Qing soldiers on the raft became targets. Yue Le saw Bahana was shot several times all over his body and fell into the muddy water. He also found that Yang Zhan and Li Huaifang, two fearful ghosts, ran faster than him, and they didn't care about his life or death at all.

"Yang Zhan and Li Huaifang, hurry to the rear, or we will be dealt with by military law." Yang Zhan and Li Huaifang's raft originally ran to the front, but after hearing Yue Le's shout, they knew that if they didn't go back, they would definitely die. If they did, they might still survive , They immediately organized their troops to start returning. They jumped into the water cleverly, supported the raft and commanded their troops to stop the Chinese Revolutionary Army, but they were shot one after another, and most of them were killed or injured.

With a queen of 4000 people, Yue Le and more than 150 Manmeng Eight Banners finally landed on the shore, and got on the horse surrounded by everyone. He only looked back at the fire in the south, and fled to the northeast without looking back. , Yang Zhan and Li Huaifang had already left behind the troops from the headquarters of the Chinese Revolutionary Army who were blocking the pursuit of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and they also ran away desperately. The [-] horses ran away before they could ride them. They followed more than [-] Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers He ran away frantically from behind, for fear that the pursuers would catch up.

After a night of fierce fighting, the attack of the Qing army was contained.After dawn, the soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army saw a tragic scene. The entire surface of the water was stained red with blood. On the dark red water were thousands of corpses of soldiers from the Qing Army. Next to it, there are some arrows, clothes, shoes and other things floating.

In addition to the corpses, there are countless living people. They either stand densely on the raft, or stand in the chest-deep water, holding the raft with their hands, looking around with blank eyes. Most of them have not only Without weapons, and without fighting spirit, they looked like lifeless bodies.

Soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army rowed sheepskin rafts and slowly approached these "shells". After a certain distance, they let go of their voices and shouted: "Throw away the weapons! Those who surrender will not die!" Then they counted the rafts together, Relying on the raft of the Qing army, the half-dead people were gathered together, and in order to prevent them from resisting, they were still tied up one by one.There was no great resistance during this process, only some Eight Banners soldiers refused to surrender and picked up spears from the water to resist, but soon they became sieves.

Most of the Qing army were Han Musketeers. They were all organized by landlords and scholars who were hostile to the Chinese Revolutionary Army. Surrendered, the Chinese Revolutionary Army gathered more than 17 surrendered soldiers from the Qing army. So far, the Manchu and Qing Han army musketeers organized by the Manchu and Qing courts in Henan were almost wiped out. The Chinese Revolutionary Army stationed in Henan The number of troops and the number of Manchu Qing troops were completely reversed.

Yangzhou City has always been famous for its prosperity, but now Yangzhou City is full of desolation. The city is full of refugees fleeing from all over the world. In the city, you can join relatives and friends. If you have neither money nor relatives, you can only live in shacks. Therefore, shacks have been set up wherever there is open space in the city. Standing on the city wall, you can see everywhere. A dark shack.

These refugees were all forced by the Qing army to drive the nearby villagers to Yangzhou City. Yangzhou City is already an isolated city, surrounded by troops and occupied areas of the Chinese Revolutionary Army in all directions, and in the large area south of Huai'an, only Yangzhou is still there. In the hands of the Manchu Qing army, in order to defend Yangzhou City, they can only drive a large number of people into Yangzhou. The Manchu Qing army has a more vicious method. They want to use these refugees as cannon fodder to consume the troops of the Chinese Revolutionary Army.

In the distance, another group of villagers driven by the Qing army came over. When they saw the city wall of Yangzhou City, a large number of Manchu and Qing knights riding fast horses appeared behind them. The horse was running hard, and it was obvious that it had run a long way. The horseshoe stepped on the wet and hard road, splashed a small amount of mud, and left a series of long, shallow horseshoe prints. Their destination was obvious. It is also Yangzhou City, with a lot of looted food and finances on horseback, but there are also many injured people. It seems that they had conflicts with the police militia guarding the village during the robbery. .
