Xiangxikou.

As mentioned earlier, Xiangxikou is injected into the Yangtze River to the north, Shazhenxi (later Tongzhuang River) to the south, Xiangxihe River is injected into the Yangtze River to the north, Xingshan County is in the west, Badong County is in the south, and Changyang County is in the south. The geographical location is extremely important, and it is the so-called place where military and military battles are fighting.

Guizhou is sandwiched between Xiangxikou and Badong. As long as you occupy it, you can control the troops of the main force of the White Lotus Sect and Archbishop Wang Cong'er stationed in Guizhou City, and you can also echo the Qing army besieged in Xingshan, Badong and Changyang from afar.

Such an important place naturally requires a member to come to guard the situation, but the current general is less than twenty years old.

Yang Yuchun is only nineteen years old this year. However, due to the rise of the Truqins, the butterfly effect brought by him is extremely huge. Since the Qing court did not gain benefits in the Battle of Junggar, in order to make up for the losses of the treasury, he had to focus his attention on the country.

Therefore, the uprising of the White Lotus Sect in Jinchuan and Bailian Sect was earlier than in real history. Yang Yuchun was from Xichuan and also took the martial arts examination earlier than in history. He joined the battle to conquer Xichuan chieftains at a very young age and made great contributions.

Although he is only a garrison in Yichang, his command of the three thousand chieftain soldiers, mainly Yi, Qiang, and Tibetan, are the most elite troops to encircle and suppress the White Lotus Sect’s army, and their combat power is still above the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

If the Truqins had not intervened here, it would have been a matter of time before the destruction of the White Lotus Sect was destroyed, and it would have been a foregone conclusion that Yang Yuchun was promoted to the general of Yichang Town after this battle.

At the age of twenty, he was promoted to general by relying entirely on military merits. This was a scorpion shit in the Qianlong Dynasty - the only one.

The news that Truqin suddenly entered Changyang County and rescued the Hunyuan Yiqi church members there soon spread to Guizhou, Badong, and near Xingshan, which naturally shocked the Qing army.

But Yang Yuchun, who joined the army at the age of fifteen, came out of the sea of ​​blood, still remains the same.

Guizhou and Xiangxi are all built on the high ground on the north bank of the Yangtze River, more than 100 meters away from the pier. If you want to climb up, you can only pass a stone path. According to Yang Yuchun's idea, as long as you keep this path, the enemy will be helpless even if you have all your abilities.

He naturally heard of the power of the Truqin cannons, but he also knew that the Truqin cannons were installed under the first deck, and the elevation angle that could be lifted was limited, so he would definitely not be able to hit here.

It was not until he actually met Aziz's squadron that he changed his mind.

After Aziz arrived in Yichang, he immediately let the following Garcia fleet sail into Qingjiang, and naturally transported all the White Lotus believers there. At this time, there is no need to pay attention to comfort. Tens of thousands of believers, regardless of men, women, old and young, were all crowded together to transport them to Hong Kong.

The fleet was escorted by a Saiyin and two Batulu, and they also carried artillery themselves. After experiencing the Shazhou fire ship incident, I believe the Qing court dared not intercept them anymore.

Kang Xiaozhong, with the remaining Bogda, Saiyin, two Batulu and Wei Zhixi regiments join the battle to attack Guizhou.

The Truqins fleet naturally easily defeated the Qing army navy cruising in the Badong-Guizhou area, and then decided to launch an attack on Xiangxikou.

Xiangxikou Daying.

After seeing the Truqins' warship through a monocular telescope, the nineteen-year-old Yang Yuchun fell silent.

Although she is only nineteen years old, Yang Yuchun is tall, almost 1.8 meters tall, and is extremely strong, with a national face, a young man with a long beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a sharp look, which is daunting.

It is already the late 18th century, but Yang Yuchun's troops are all cold weapons troops. He disdained the slow loading muskets and cannons equipped by the Qing army, but all cold weapons.

After the Battle of Jinchuan and three years of encirclement and suppression of the White Lotus Sect, the troops equipped with one thousand spearmen, one thousand swords and one thousand archers have been tempered for thousands of times.

Yang Yuchun is good at using spears and single swords. The thousand-spliers and swords and shields under him are all trained by him. They can not only fight in formation, but also have a strong sense of personal bravery. With the armor covered with it, they can be said to be extremely elite.

At this time, the admiral of the three provinces, Eledenbao, saw his troops and sighed: "This son's army is no less than that of the Bayala of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty"

Bayala, that is the most elite unit of the Eight Banners of Manchuria. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Bayala did the job of charging in a way that could be carried out with dozens of people. After the formation was destroyed, the cavalry behind them followed and truly "invincible".

More elite than Baya La, what kind of landscape is that?

Of course, Eledenbo has never seen Baya La in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Baya La at this time is obviously far inferior to before. Even so, it is quite considerable.

Yang Yuchun's troops were all black helmets and black armor, and even the military flags were black. Although they were less than 20 years old, after the Battle of Jinchuan and the Battle of the White Lotus Sect, Yang Yuchun's troops gradually gained the reputation of "Yang Family Black Flag Army".

Compared with the Ming Dynasty, which was guarding against military generals everywhere, the Qing people were obviously much more generous. After Yang Yuchun died, he was drawn by the emperor to the Zi. Guang Pavilion, which was almost the same as Lingyan Pavilion in the early Tang Dynasty, which was unimaginable in the Ming Dynasty. Even the famous generals who made great contributions like Yu Qian and Qi Jiguang had a miserable end.

However, even the elite cold weapon troops, once they encounter modern and modern troops with rifles, there is a generational difference. Therefore, although they have heard of Yang Yuchun's reputation, Kang Xiaozhong, Aziz and others, they are not concerned.

After rescuing Changyang County, Zhang Henxue's idea changed again.

"No matter what the negotiations are, all the White Lotus believers in Guizhou, which is close to the Yangtze River, will be taken down!"

This idea was also approved by the Governor of Hexian Town Ashalai, and then it was passed on to Kang Xiaozhong and others.

Without a telegraph, it is obviously impossible to make decisions quickly at a distance of thousands of miles apart, and it will also miss many opportunities, but it does not exist among the Truchens.

For the Qing army, the strategy was formulated by the admiral of the three provinces, Eledenbo, which means that in addition to continuing to attack Changyang County, the rest of them were "siege tightly and wait and see what they did". If they wanted to change their strategy, it would take a long time to "plan".

At this time, the most convenient way of transportation is naturally on the water. After the Truqins blocked this section of the river, the latest war situation near Guizhou could not be quickly transmitted to Yichang.

One responds quickly and the other is at a loss, and the battle is doomed before the ending begins.

But Eledenbao still had luck in his heart.

Of course, Yang Yuchun, who has "my chief brave general of the Qing Dynasty" and "the courage of ten thousand men" is "not worthy of the courage".

For the Truqins, once Xiangxikou is taken down, the Qing army in other places will definitely collapse.

So, both sides focused on this place.

Xiangxikou!

Xiangxikou was originally a town. After Yang Yuchun stationed here, he requisitioned all the houses and drove the locals to build a wall about ten feet high and built with earth and stones on the periphery. Although Yang Yuchun made good use of cold weapons, he did not reject artillery.

Of course, it must be a portable light gun.

Yang Yuchun slowly walked back to the camp.

When he walked to a mansion that was originally a local landlord in the camp, he was always energetic and calm, and he staggered for a moment, which surprised the chieftain soldiers behind him.

After sitting in the hall, Yang Yuchun finally recovered.

He himself claimed to be a Han Chinese, but he understood one thing, that thing was passed down from generation to generation. He lived in Xichuan for generations, where Han and natives lived in mixed places. In the Qing Dynasty, many natives also called themselves Han Chinese, but everyone understood their true origins.

Yang Yuchun is no exception, he knows very well.

"I am a descendant of the Di people, that is, the descendant of the Di people of Emperor Fu Jian, who established the Former Qin Dynasty. The Di people are a branch of the Qiang people. They live in the high-altitude area of ​​Xichuan for generations, with semi-herding and half-farming areas, and the surrounding barbarians are everywhere. All those who can survive to this day are outstanding people"

"I can convince the natives of Xichuan, and the identity of Di people has obviously played a lot of role"

Although he was a little afraid of the Truchens' strong ships and cannons, his strong experience restored his calmness, but now the problem is coming again.

Because he controlled the Yangtze River waterway, the Truqins could bypass Xiangxikou and go straight to Guizhou, Badong, and pick up all the White Lotus Cults there. But he heard that the White Lotus Cultists in Changyang County had been picked up by the Truqins!

Although his troops were powerful, they could not bypass the Yangtze River to attack them.

Although he is famous for his courage, he has studied in a private school since he was a child and later compiled military books. Obviously, he is not a brave but unscheming person. After sitting alone in the hall for a long time, he finally understood.

"What a thief, I'm going to kill the chicken for the monkey to show you"

"However, if they want to destroy me, they must come to Xiangxi Town. No matter how powerful your firearm is, you can't hit it here. Humph, as long as you can't get up, what can you do to me?"

"Boom..."

Just as I thought of this, a violent roar suddenly came from outside!

At first he thought it was a big thunder that broke out in the sky. Although there was no heavy rain these days, it was light rain and lightning and thunder were not common, but there was no such loud thunder.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside.

"General!"

Yang Yuchun secretly said that it was not good, was it the Truqins who were firing?

"What's the matter?", he pretended to be calm.

"Truchen is firing!"

Now Yang Yuchun could no longer sit still, so he quickly came to the middle of the camp, where there was a lookout.

However, before he could reach the watchtower, he was shocked.

The three-meter-high wooden watchtower was bombarded!

This is obviously a coincidence. The Truqins are testing the cannon, and it is impossible to hit the enemy's watchtower with one shot.

There were two soldiers on the watchtower, but they were gone now. The ground was covered with broken limbs, broken arms and broken wood blocks.
Chapter completed!
