On December 1, the 18th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, in Guilin Prefecture, Uncle Dingman, the commander-in-chief of Wugang, Liu Tiegang, the commander-in-chief of Wugang, no, it was Uncle Liu Chengyin, who was personally conferred by Emperor Longwu.
Uncle Liu's army numbered 20,000, including Liu Chengyong, deputy general of the Chinese army, guerrilla Liu Yuansheng in the left camp, Liu Xiangke in the right camp, Liu Zhen in the front camp, and Liu Lusheng, the commander of the rear camp??
All the generals in the army are named Liu. There is only one general who is not named Liu: General Chen Youlong.
Chen Youlong was born short and strong, good at walking, and could travel three hundred miles a day, so he was nicknamed "The King of Five Hells".
This nickname has its origin.
Wugang is located in western Hunan, where various ethnic groups live together, and the chieftains often rebel. Although Liu Chengyin is good at using iron bars, he can't do anything to these chieftains.
Upon seeing this, Chen Youlong volunteered, led his troops to attack a rebellious village, and skinned the chieftain in public. After hearing this, the other chieftains were frightened and did not dare to rebel. Therefore, Chen Youlong was given a nickname by the chieftains: "
"Five Kings of Hell".
However, the "Five Kings of Hell" also have principles. They only kill the chieftains and not the slaves. Zeng once said clearly: It is enough to capture the thieves and the king. The leader of the rebels is also the leader, so kill them to serve as a warning to others. If the people coerce them, they can be slaughtered.
!
Liu Chengyin doesn't like "Five Hell Kings", he really doesn't like it, and the reason is very simple. The "Five Hell Kings" are surnamed Chen, not Liu; Liu Chengyin can't live without "Five Hell Kings", he really can't live without them, and the reason is also very simple.
Relatives can play cards but can't fight. Only the "Five Kings of Hell" can fight.

In the Jingjiang Prince's Mansion in Guilin City, Jingfan's important minister Xingye Bo, General Longhu, and Guangxi Commander-in-Chief Yang Guowei came to bid farewell to Princess Shi of Jingjiang and Prince Zhu Ruoji of Jingjiang. He wanted to lead troops to rescue the whole state.
Yang Guowei was very happy when he heard that Liu Chengyin was here.
Shi Qiwen, Yan Tianfeng, Fan Youxian and other old brothers followed Zhu Hengjia on the expedition and made many military exploits. They were promoted and made fortunes. He was the only one who guarded Guilin and made no achievements. Yang Guowei also wanted to make some achievements so as to "enclose his wife's shadow"
".
Yang Guowei's troops originally had three battalions, and two more battalions were added according to Zhu Hengjia's new military system. However, these two battalions were new soldiers and could not go to the battlefield. In order to prevent Guilin from losing, Yang Guowei asked his son Yang Fuchen to take the most powerful combat troops.
The Chinese military camp and the newly recruited front and rear battalions stayed in Guilin. He only brought 6,000 soldiers from the left and right battalions of Guangxi to rescue Quanzhou.
"The princess, your highness, the prince, I am about to go to the whole state, so I came here to say goodbye." Yang Guowei saluted respectfully.
"I and your son are waiting in Guilin for the news of Xingye Bo's triumphant return." Concubine Shi returned the gift.
After Yang Guowei left, Zuo Chengfeng and Liu Rong immediately put eye drops on him: "Your Majesty, your Majesty entrusted Guilin to Uncle Xingye. This is such a great trust. But Uncle Xingye left Guilin to rescue Quanzhou, putting your safety at risk.
Regardless??"
Liu Rongyue spoke more and more energetically, and Concubine Shi's face became darker and darker. Suddenly her eyes widened: "Shut up! How can a slave like you interfere in national affairs?"
"Your Majesty, forgive me!" Liu Rong's face turned pale. He knew the temperament of this Empress best. She was usually as calm as water, but occasionally she showed her formidable temperament.
"Palm mouth!"
"Pah! Pah! Pah!" Liu Rong did not dare to neglect, and slapped himself hard, and soon his white face turned bright red.
After slapping her mouth, Concubine Shi asked: "How many captains are there in the palace now?"
"Your Majesty, most of the captains have been taken away by the king, and there are still three hundred captains left in the palace."
"Open the arsenal of the palace, let the servants and palace people carry weapons, and guard each gate." Shi Fei said calmly, like a rock in the sea, unaffected by the waves.
??
Yang Guowei rushed to Quanzhou and found that Liu Chengyin's 20,000 troops fought for three days, but they failed to capture Quanzhou City, which had only one garrison and 800 garrison troops.
It turned out that the relatives of the old Liu family wanted to perform meritorious deeds because they saw that there were few soldiers in the whole state. They refused to let the "Five Hell Kings" come in and had to lead the troops to attack the city themselves. After they attacked the city, they realized that it turned out that attacking the city also required ladders, rush carts and the like. , and then went back to build siege equipment.
After all this, Yang Guowei has arrived.
The battle to defend the entire state begins.
First, there was a small-scale scout battle, a trial battle: Yang's left camp had one sentry with a hundred cavalry, and Liu Yuansheng's left camp had one sentry and one hundred cavalry. They killed thirty enemies and only two of them were killed; Yang's right battalion had three hundred soldiers. Liu Jun and Liu Xiang's guest army numbered 500, and killed 100 enemies, and only eight of their own were killed; Yang's army had 100, and Liu Zhen's troops had 200, and killed 60 enemies, and only 5 of their own were killed?? Yang's 100 vs. Liu. The "Five Hell Kings" of the army had one hundred troops, each with more than ten casualties.
After several trials, Yang Guowei understood that the only ones Liu was able to fight were the "Five Hell Kings". So he decided on tactics and ordered 3,000 people from the Guangxi Right Camp to try their best to contain Liu Jun's "Five Hell Kings" Chen Youlong's 2,000+ people; he personally Lead the Guangxi Zuoying Army to attack Liu Tiegang's Chinese Army.
On December 8, 6,000 men from Yang Guowei's troops launched a general offensive against 20,000 men from Liu Chengyin's troops.
Facts have proved that war cannot be won with more people.
One part of Yang's army fought fiercely with the "Five Hell Kings", and the other part rushed against Liu Chengyin's Chinese army. The battle was fierce. When the relatives of the old Liu family saw that Yang's army was attacking too fiercely, they turned around and ran away, which made Liu Chengyin angry. No matter how hard you chase me with a big iron bar, it's useless.
Liu Jun was defeated. Yang Guowei wiped out 6,000 enemies and suffered only 500 casualties. He returned with a great victory.
The Quanzhou Defense War is over, Guilin is impregnable.
