At least on the surface, it seems that the Jurchens really want to use Huangfeng Ferry. After all, there are so many ships and people that they can’t be fooled. But Liu Shicheng doesn’t think so. If the Jurchens really want to cross the river from Huangfeng Ferry, they should behave
You should bring some with you. Wouldn't it be suspicious to be so serious? The Jurchens should not be that stupid. They probably want to hit the Lingyi Ferry.
Liu Shicheng shook his head again after thinking about it, and then smiled. Hey, he was almost deceived by the Jurchen barbarian again. If he wanted to come from Lingyi Ferry, he would definitely hide it. Dorgon was famous for his cunning, so the emperor
Tai Chi is so smart, but in the end Dorgon took away a lot of his military power.
So, there is probably something wrong here. Could it be that Dorgon deliberately created this situation? It makes people wonder. Such an obvious difference can be seen by everyone. The movement of Huangfeng Ferry is quite big, and Lingyi
There is no movement at the ferry. Anyone with some brains will guess that there is a problem at the Lingyi ferry. In this case, Dorgon will still do such a thankless job?
Liu Shicheng thought to himself, if it were him, even if he wanted to make a breakthrough at Lingyi Ferry, it would make people struggle on the ferry, at least they would not be able to tell the difference between Huangfeng Ferry and Lingyi Ferry. This time Dorgon
Playing like this, most likely to confuse everyone's eyes, and finally send troops from Huangfeng Ferry. This kind of trick to create suspicion is not clever. After thinking about this, Liu Shiguo decided to order half of the troops at Lingyi Ferry to be secretly transferred
Toward the yellow wind.
On the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, everything seemed to be as Liu Shicheng expected. When many people thought that Huangfeng Ferry was just a cover and that the Jurchens would send troops from Lingyi Ferry, the Jurchens actually rushed out of Huangfeng Ferry. By the time they arrived, Da
Ships of all sizes were like a swarm of black ants, slowly heading towards the south bank.
After all, the Jurchens are a bunch of landlubbers. Even though they have been preparing for a long time, they still have a big problem. Since all the boats, large and small, are stolen, the Jurchens can barely operate them. There is no problem in the ferry, but once they arrive in the middle of Sanhe,
Under the impact of the surging water of the Three Rivers, many Jurchens began to lose control of the boat. They hurriedly operated the oars, and the whole boat turned around in circles. Some Jurchens were even more powerful and capsized directly and fell into the water.
Although the Jurchens were rowing stumblingly, they were heading towards the south bank. Liu Shicheng had no intention of laughing at the Jurchens. Looking at the boats on the water, he could see that the Jurchens had almost sent half of their troops. Dorgon, this little fox, wanted to complete his victory in one battle.
Are you really looking down on him, Liu Shicheng? Are the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty so vulnerable?
In order to deal with the Jurchens' ships, the Ming army and horses were well prepared. Following the order, the soldiers on the shore pulled up the ropes in their hands. With a splash, some bamboo rafts were poked out of the water, and the tops of the bamboo rafts were sharpened.
, directly pierced the bottom of the wooden boat. The big boat was okay, but some small wooden boats were directly pierced through the bottom of the boat and sank quickly. Then many real girls were splashing in the water and shouting for help.
These bamboo rafts did not cause much harm to the Jurchens, but the biggest advantage was that they stopped the progress of the ships. The ships in the front row were blocked, and the ships behind them could not come. In fact, the best way to deal with it now is to send water ghosts to go down below.
Bamboo rafts were pulled away, and the water ghosts also had to prevent other threats from the water. But the Jurchens grew up in the white mountains and black waters. The only water they had seen in their lives were small rivers and ditches. They knew nothing about water stations, so how could there be any water ghosts?
The ships were no better than people, and their flexibility was much worse. With so many ships clumsily blocking the waters of the Three Rivers, they became living targets. Liu Shicheng ordered the trebuchets and longbowmen to show off their power. For a moment, rockets and stones flew in the sky.
The Jurchen soldiers were immediately hit and stunned, and many unlucky Jurchen soldiers fell directly into the water and became real water ghosts.
The first attack on the south bank ended hastily. Dorgon directly issued an order to retreat. After this battle, Dorgon finally figured out a problem. This water battle is no better than a land battle. The Jurchen warriors simply
We can't fight a water battle. A group of wolves on land turned into a group of sheep in the water. The Jurchens were defeated miserably in this battle. Many people stayed directly in the Three Rivers. The bodies were washed away by the rushing waters of the Three Rivers.
Know where it went.
Dorgon was defeated for a while, and his mood naturally couldn't get better. Liu Shicheng, although he won, was not happy because he didn't kill too many Jurchens this time, and most of them had already returned to the other side with the ship.
Huangfeng Ferry.
In the big tent, Liu Shicheng was walking around with a sullen brow. He looked a little restless. He always had a feeling in his heart that something big was going to happen, because today the Jurchens sent troops to Huangfeng Ferry. They looked menacing, but they went south in one breath.
Their determination was not firm, and they just went back as if they were practicing an ordinary drill. When they encountered a little resistance, they went back hastily. This retreating in the face of difficulties is not the character of the Jurchen barbarians. Although they call themselves barbarians, the bravery of the Jurchen soldiers and horses cannot help but give in.
, when I first analyzed whether the Khitans in Jinfu were powerful, they were defeated miserably by the Jurchens in the end.
What is the problem? Is Huangfeng Ferry a cover? But there is no action on the Lingyi Ferry side.
There is a small town in the southwest of Yangwucheng, called Susheng Town. The town has a population of less than a thousand people, and they usually make a living by doing some small businesses. In the Gyeonggi Road area, a small town like Susheng Town is probably very small.
What is difficult to attract others' attention is that it is a small town. Even if the Jurchens attack Sanhe, the town is still peaceful.
As the sun set, A Niu walked home carrying a pole. A Niu lived in Xiaosheng Village, two miles south of the town. When he came to town, he gave the herbs he had obtained over the past few days to the vendors. As he walked,
Nunu exclaimed and quickly sat on the ground because he felt the earth shaking. Was there an earthquake? There had been no earthquakes in the hinterland of the Central Plains for many years, so Aniu made a mistake. It was not an earthquake, but a majestic cavalry.
.
Looking at the group of fierce figures, A Niu was stunned. After a long time, he got up from the ground, waved his arms and turned around to run towards Su Sheng Town, "Fellows, the barbarians are coming to kill, the barbarians are coming to kill...
Well...."
As the horse passed by, A Niu groaned and fell to the ground. On the horse was a silver-armored general with a cold expression. This man's eyes were like lightning and his appearance was dignified. He was none other than Duduo, the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom. There was no one in Su Sheng Town.
Pay attention, but Dorgon saw this place. Susheng Town is inconspicuous, but the people in the town set up some floating bamboo rafts beside the three rivers. The bamboo rafts were connected with ropes, which provided convenience for the townspeople to cross the three rivers.
Liu Shicheng had never paid attention to these. He just felt that the rivers in Susheng Town were wide and unsuitable for large armies to cross the river. However, he did not know that the townspeople of Susheng Town had gradually developed their own method of crossing the river in order to survive for hundreds of years. And now,
Duduo came here for the pontoon bridge. Since the pontoon bridge can pass hundreds of kilograms of goods, war horses should also be able to pass it.
He raised the knife, the cold light shone, reflecting the setting sun like blood, and the strong wind was raging, "The whole army moves forward, quickly occupy the pontoon bridge, and leave no one alive in the town!"
Duduo is not a murderous person, but he has to do it this time. It will take time to force the pontoon bridge. The news that the Qing cavalry has arrived in Susheng Town cannot be spread for at least two hours, otherwise Liu Shicheng will definitely send troops westward to stop them.
Yang Sichang's troops in Xianghe City will also attack the empty Liyang City.
After the order was issued, Susheng Town suffered the most painful disaster in a century. Under the stranglehold of the fierce Jurchen cavalry, the town turned into a purgatory under the sunset, with scimitars falling and blood flowing into rivers.
In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Duduo raided Susheng Town. In order to ensure that the news was not known to others, all the people in the town were slaughtered. Along the Bridge of Life built by the townspeople of Susheng Town, three thousand Jurchen cavalry used more than two
We had just reached the other side of the Three Rivers. The Jurchen cavalry had already joined the battlefield, but Liu Shicheng was unaware of it at this time.
On the twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month, at the Huangfeng Ferry crossing, Dorgon once again mobilized his troops, but this time he was not in a hurry to attack. Haoqiao Town, east of Susheng Town, was experiencing a catastrophe. Haoqiao Town and Susheng
The town is different. This is a small county town. When Duduo's cavalry suddenly arrived, the people of Haoqiao Town were frightened to death. The scholar Qu Shengyang, the county magistrate, had never experienced such a situation, but Qu Shengyang still
Saving a trace of blood, he ordered the north and south gates to be closed tightly, and led the government officials to the entrance of the county's vegetable market.
At this time, Qu Zhixian held a knife in his hand, tied his official robe tightly, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Folks, the Jurchen barbarians are cruel and cruel. If the city is broken, we will be slaughtered. For the sake of our children, we will be killed."
We must resist to the death and we must not let the Jurchens easily break through Haoqiao Town. Marshal Liu's troops are not far away, and people from this county have already sent people to spread the word. When Marshal Liu's troops arrive, we must ensure that these Jurchen barbarians come and go.
Return."
Qu Zhixian's impassioned words affected the people. They had also heard about the Jurchen barbarians. These people were murderous and no different from animals. However, the people did not know Qu Zhixian's intentions. The Jurchens came here.
So suddenly, people were directly besieging the city. How could Qu Shengyang be able to send the news out? These words were just to reassure everyone, and now he hoped that people outside would notice anything unusual.
Outside the city, Duduo frowned. He did not expect that when he led the troops to attack, he would face an siege. According to the original plan, the cavalry should directly break through the city and attack Liu Shicheng's army. Unexpectedly, Xiao Xiao
The county town responded so quickly. At noon, Duduo did not dare to delay and decisively issued the siege order. So a group of Jurchen cavalry dismounted and turned into infantry and rushed towards the city wall. Fortunately, the county wall was a low earth wall.
Protective capabilities are limited.
This is no wonder for the officials. Haoqiao Town is located in the hinterland of Gyeonggi Province and is not an important military location. Why build a city wall? Is it going to trap you to death?
Qu Shengyang fought bravely with a sword. Under his encouragement, the repressed people and the common people gradually settled down. Don't look at Qu Shengyang as a scholar, but he still has strength in his hands. Ordinary Jurchens are really no match for him.
Duduo had long noticed the man in official robes. It was said that the literati of the Ming Dynasty only knew the wind, flowers, snow and moon, but had no power to tie a chicken, but this scholar magistrate was not only able to carry a sword, but he was also so brave.
Duduo admired literati, especially such bloody literati. Somehow, he issued an order to withdraw his troops. Just when the people in the town were panicking, Duduo rode up and approached. He was not worried at all, because
These common people did not have bows and arrows at all, so they could not hurt him. Pointing to Qu Shengyang, who was standing at the front, he loudly said, "What is your name? It seems that you should be a county magistrate among the Han people. I, Duoduo, are the best."
I admire a man like you. As long as you are willing to surrender to our Qing Dynasty, I will guarantee you a high official position and a generous salary, and you will enjoy endless wealth and glory!"
Duduo? Qu Shengyang took a breath when he heard the name. He had heard of Duduo's name for a long time. The relationship between Duduo and Dorgon meant that his words were like edicts. High officials, high salaries, wealth and splendor, etc.
The promise was too tempting for a small county magistrate. Qu Shengyang was also tempted, but he still retained some sense and immediately cursed, "You barbarians, even if I grant Qu a prince, I won't do it."
Qi Qi, go back, let’s see the real seal on our swords, are you just a eloquent kid with yellow hair, hahaha!”
Duduo was not angry. He cupped his hands and said in admiration, "Hanren, what's your name?"
"I am Qu Shengyang!"
Qu Shengyang was a third-ranked Jinshi during the Tianqi period. He was a scholar, but a scholar could still kill the enemy. But could his official robes stop the surging Jurchen cavalry? When Duduo issued the order to attack again, the Jurchens had nothing to lose.
However, facing these well-trained Jurchen cavalry, no matter how brave the people in the small county town are, what can they do?
The city wall was broken, and Qu Shengyang led his people back into the city. In the streets and alleys of the city, the enemy and we fought together, but in the end, the iron hoofs of the Jin people still flattened this peaceful and peaceful small county. Qu Shengyang was killed in
In the county government hall, it was this poor and respectable scholar who used his life to maintain the last bit of pride of the Ming literati.
Killing the enemy without breaking it means defeat, and there are true warriors among losers. Unfortunately, there are few literati in the Ming Dynasty who are as bloody and brave as Qu Shengyang. If literati were like them, how could Chinese civilization be trampled by barbarians?
Haoqiao Town was defeated and Qu Shengyang died. Duduo's target was not Haoqiao Town, let alone the small magistrate Qu Shengyang. After opening the joint, three thousand cavalry immediately rushed to the east coast of Sanhe.
Looking at the Huangfeng Ferry opposite, Liu Shicheng's heart was beating wildly, and the uneasy feeling was getting stronger and stronger. There seemed to be something remaining in his throat, making him unable to breathe.
Why do I feel so deeply uneasy? Is it because I am timid? Liu Shicheng is more or less a veteran on the battlefield, and of course he is not timid. When he saw the sound of an arrow from the west, Liu Shicheng frowned and wanted to yell, "Which army is it?
Why did you fire the arrow for no reason? It’s really unreasonable.”
The sounding arrow is a special existence. This is not a firework, and there is no big action. Why set off the sounding arrow? The generals look at me and I look at you. They all have innocent expressions. None of us have given such an order. Liu
