Zhuge Ming led his troops to "Xiziwa" first and ordered everyone to dig some ditches of varying depths in various places in the depression, usually more than ten feet long, more than one feet wide, and three feet to seven feet deep.
Later, Zhuge Ming ordered people to cover the ditch with a straw mat, and use a few thin bamboo poles to support it. They nailed it into the soil with two iron nails on both sides of the straw mat, and then covered the straw mat with floating soil and turf.
, from a distance, if you don’t look carefully, you can’t see it.
After these tasks were completed, Zhuge Ming ordered the civilians and 20,000 militia to move to the southern gap and immediately started to build an earth dam. At one hundred feet north of the earth dam, three were two feet wide and five feet deep, and three were digging at the same time.
In order to complete these tasks as soon as possible, all the civilians and militias fought for two days and one night. After dark, the entire project was completed.
Just as the civilians were digging ditches desperately, Zhuge Ming sent 4,000 cavalrymen to lure the Qing army successfully to "Xieziwa", and here he and the main force of the Chinese Revolutionary Army that had been on standby for a long time.
The troops were united, and at this time, it was almost dark. The two sides had a small-scale battle before it was dark, but after it was dark, they each stopped their troops and returned to the camp.
Seeing that the plan to contain the Qing army was successful, Zhuge Ming ordered all the troops of the Chinese Revolutionary Army to retreat to the nearby highlands while it was dark, leaving only an empty camp to stay in place to continue to confuse the Qing army. He himself arrived in person
The Baihe River embankment was presided over the dike. With the efforts of three engineers, the embankment was finally dug out three gaps when it was about to arrive. The river water gushed out from the gap, causing the gap to grow bigger and bigger.
In less than an hour, the three gaps had been combined into one, and the river water mixed with soil rushed towards the middle of the depression.
Yue Le was sleeping soundly, and suddenly heard a noise in his dream. Then his personal soldiers ran in and reported: "Report to General, the water in the Northern Camp has risen! And the flood is coming towards the Central Army's tent!"
After hearing this, Yue Le's sleepiness disappeared. He pushed the woman in his arms away and said, "It's not raining yet, where is the water coming from?" Before the personal soldiers could answer, he suddenly remembered something and shouted, "Oh! I
How could he forget the terrain and the river next to him?" For him, who is familiar with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the story of Guan Yu flooding the Seventh Army is so familiar. Even if he is familiar, he is not very good at using it. Unexpectedly, this is what he did not expect.
Zhuge Ming, who is not famous, can use it, but he still uses it on himself.
Yue Le immediately ordered the entire army to pull out the camp and retreat to a high place. However, the tent had not been removed yet, the water had risen to his ankles and continued to rise. Seeing this, Yue Le didn't care about the tent anymore.
When the water flowed to the south, he immediately ordered the entire army to abandon the baggage and run to the higher north. However, less than half a mile from the front of the Qing army, many people stepped on the trap and fell down.
At this time, some ditches were filled with water, which made many Qing soldiers immediately become fish and turtles.
Yue Le finally understood why the Ming army had to dig those trenches, so he had to order the entire army to stop and return to the camp, preparing to remove the bamboo poles and wood supporting the tent and build a raft.
It was finally dawn. Yue Le stood in the waist-deep water, looking at his subordinates who were also standing in the water, and was in tears. He regretted why he didn't listen to the betrayal of Huang Ziya and Zhang Huahan and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty general Yang.
Zhan's advice insisted on fighting the Ming army to a decisive battle. He regretted why he didn't send someone to check the terrain first and set the camp in a higher terrain.
At this time, the Qing army had already laid hundreds of rafts, but there were too many monks and less than 30% of them could swim in the Qing army. So everyone rushed to see the rafts as their only hope, squeezing and pushing, and even drawing swords toward each other.
Many rafts have also turned over.
What annoyed Yue Le even more was that the soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army sat in groups of three or five on sheepskin rafts, constantly approaching the Qing army, and using spears to disrupt the Qing army's formation. Many Qing army died because of this, but when the Qing army was
When soldiers wanted to hunt down the soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, those soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army calmly set a sheepskin raft away or led the Qing army into a trap, causing the Qing army to lose some more troops.
The Chinese Revolutionary Army was just engaging in the Qing army like this. They didn't seem to be in a hurry to eliminate the Qing army. It seemed that the Qing army had been regarded by them as fish in the net and had become their freely mercy.
Yue Le ordered the Qing army to organize suicide squads several times and launched an attack on the Ming army on a raft. However, because their rafts were extremely bulky and the firearms and gunpowder they carried were all soaked in water, it was impossible to use the only bows and arrows.
In confronting the Ming army's firearms, the Ming army's sheepskin raft was light and flexible, and it was very fast. The Qing army could not catch up with it, but instead became a living target on the raft.
The Eight Banners Cavalry of the 10,000 tribes seemed to be a little lucky than the infantry. They could ride on horses, but soon the horse under their crotch was drowned, making them become infantry.
The turbid river water did not pity the situation of the Qing army at all. It was still rising tenaciously and soon reached Ajige's chest, but then it stopped rising because the water had already overwhelmed the earth dam in the south.
Zhuge Ming learned that the earth dam in the south had flooded the water, and the flow rate of water at the gap in the Baihe River had slowed down, so he urgently ordered the engineering regiment to block the entrance.
After a day of hard fighting, the number of people drowned by the Qing army and shot by the Chinese Revolutionary Army soldiers has exceeded 40,000. Moreover, due to long soaking in the water, most of them are exhausted, and people are occasionally fainted in the water.
If people save each other, they will become a floating corpse in a moment.
Yue Le summoned the remaining generals and discussed countermeasures on a raft, but everyone said nothing and looked as if they were ashen. Yue Le saw this scene and said angrily: "The court treats you well normally, and you too."
One by one, I asked the court for this and that. The court responded to all requests. When did you treat you badly? Now that the army is facing difficulties, you are like wooden men. What is the use of the court to support you?" He saw Yang Zhan with the light of the torch
There seemed to be a contemptuous expression on his face, so he shouted: "Yang Zhan! You said, how should our army break through now?"
Yang Zhan was originally resenting Ajige in his heart and laughing at him as a reckless man who did not understand military tactics. Suddenly, he heard Ajige call him, and he felt a trembling heart. He remembered that he was his general after all, and his life was all under his control.
He immediately withdrew his contempt and said, "In the eyes of the general, it seems that the sky is completely dark now. Although it is not good for our army to break through, it is even more unfavorable to the Ming army's defense. We might as well kill one now
Blood Road.”
After hearing this, Ajige said with a "sniff" sound, "I thought you had any great plans when I saw your face, but I didn't expect that there was only one way. What you can think of is that I have already thought of it,
You still want to say it?"
Yang Zhan continued: "Don't be anxious, the last general has not finished speaking yet. The last general thinks that in the current form, the entire army is impossible to break through. Only by using the "speaking east and attacking west" can the prince escape smoothly."
After that, he stopped and looked at Yue Le's face. Yue Le had a calm face and said, "You keep talking!"
Yang Zhan took a ployment and said, "The last general's plan is: Lord can send several deputy generals to lead the army to break south. At this time, the water flow is still flowing south, so the speed of the raft must be faster, wait for them.
After walking a distance, the adults led thousands of personal soldiers on dozens of rafts and headed northeast, so that the adults could escape safely." Yue Le said: "The more than 200,000 troops of the general
Don't want it?" Yang Zhan said: "Stay the green mountains here and don't worry about the lack of firewood. As long as the adults are fine, it's okay to organize hundreds of thousands of troops. Moreover, the imperial army also needs adults to experience battles like this.
general.”
Yue Le said: "You are so light! There are still 10,000 children of the Three Tribes and Eight Banners and 210,000 Han musketeers in the army. Among these people are old subordinates who have been with me for many years, and more than 200,000 musketeers are also
The army and weapons raised by the landlords and scholars who supported us all over the country were gathered for the court. We asked the general to leave them behind. Not to mention that the general would not agree, even the Manchu generals around us would not agree!" After saying that,
He turned around to look at the generals beside him.
These generals bowed their heads one by one. They all thought about Yang Zhan's words in their hearts. When they think of their current situation, they didn't say anything. In the eyes of these people, the Mongolian and Han soldiers were just them robbing the money.
Women are just tools that can be sacrificed at any time, and even those soldiers of the Manchus can be sacrificed. But since Yue Le said such words, how could they object, so they had to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Yang Zhan was extremely anxious when he saw that these people were not talking. He didn't want to be caught by the Chinese Revolutionary Army. He was the protector of the time who took the lead and betrayed the current Chinese Revolutionary Army. How many protectors he killed at that time?
Once the officer and the soldier were arrested, he would not have a way out. But when he didn't expect, Yue Le was actually more anxious than him. The reason why he made such a statement just now was just to behave in front of everyone, so as not to go in the future.
Some people say that he is kind and has no mercy, and it is difficult to take him when he leads troops. When he sees everyone is not talking, he can't help but regret his pretentious behavior just now. Now he only wants one or two considerate generals to come out.
, rescue him.
Yue Le looked at the generals one by one on the faces. When he saw the deputy general Baha, Bahana's mouth moved. Yue Le was happy and thought, "Hurry up and open his mouth! Hurry up and
Tell me! Your mother, you are an old veteran, and you still don’t understand any human accidents. You can’t blame him for being a deputy general who has been a deputy general for many years. Follow me and I am still a deputy general. Hurry up and have a little wink, you have a wink
I will recommend you to the court as the chief general, so that you will definitely get what you want." Yue Le looked at Bahana with a gaze, hoping that his insincere statement just now would not scare him.
But Bahana stopped moving, and Yue Le's teeth were itchy when he hated him, but finally someone spoke. Li Huaifang was very clever. He saw Yue Le's meaning, and he said: "The last general thought that General Yang said very much.
If the adults successfully break through, they can lead their troops back to take revenge. Sir, please make up your mind! I believe that those Qing soldiers, I, the Qing Dynasty soldiers, will definitely hope that you will break through!" Bahana thought to himself:
"I'm afraid that once you break through, all the Han people will surrender and will know your difficulties." Bahana is an honest man, but not stupid either.
Yue Le breathed a sigh of relief, and he said, "Is this? Since you said that, then let me consider it. You have no other opinions?" He looked at everyone. Everyone understood Yue Le's intention at this time.
, So they said, "The last general has no objection, I hope the general will make plans early!"
Seeing that the play had been performed enough, Yue Le sent an order and ordered three Eight Banners deputy generals and twenty-six Han army deputy generals to lead the army to break south. He himself led more than 8,000 personal soldiers to ride a hundred rafts, staying there
On the spot, the remaining 150 war horses of the Qing army rode on the other ten rafts.
Zhuge Ming learned that the Qing army had broken through, and immediately ordered the Chinese Revolutionary Army troops to invite the attack on the middle. Zhuge Ming was prepared for the Qing army's night breakout. Thousands of sheepskin rafts were scattered everywhere, with a drummer on each raft. He found that
After the Qing army traces, the drummer immediately beats the drum with a rapid drumbeat, and a man raised the torch in his hand high and drew a circle in the air. Seeing this, other drummers nearby also immediately started to beat the drum, so the Chinese Revolutionary Army
They gathered here to stop the escaped Qing army. At the same time, the Chinese Revolutionary Army also floated dozens of large rafts on the water, with thin iron sheets on the rafts and huge hay piles on the iron sheets. After hearing the sound of drums calling the police,
, lit the haystack, and in front of dozens of huge "torks", the Qing army had nowhere to hide, and were all exposed to the firepower of the Chinese Revolutionary Army.
Although Zhuge Ming arranged warrants everywhere, it was impossible to surround them tightly. Yue Le's hundreds of rafts finally passed through a gap in the encirclement of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and the Chinese Revolutionary Army soldiers also
Seeing the enemy, they raised their guns and shot. Yue Le lay on the raft, "Hurry and scratch, hurry up." Yue Le shouted while asking Yang Zhan, Li Huaifang and Bahana and other generals to organize Qing soldiers.
Block the soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army who are chasing them.
The sound of gunfire continued, and Yue Le found that Bahana led a thousand Qing soldiers and was quickly shot to death. Most of them were shot in the water. The water was black and red. The Qing soldiers on the raft became targets. Yue Le watched
When he arrived at Bahana, he was shot several times and fell into the turbid water. He also found that Yang Zhan and Li Huaifang, two fearful ghosts, ran faster than him, and did not care about his life or death.
"Yang Zhan, Li Huaifang, hurry up and the rear, otherwise the military law will deal with it." Yang Zhan and Li Huaifang's raft originally ran to the front, but when they heard Yue Le's shouting, they knew that if they didn't go back, they would definitely die. If they went back, they might still survive.
They immediately organized their troops to return. They jumped out of the water cleverly, held the raft and directed their troops to block the Chinese Revolutionary Army's army, but they were gunned one after another, with most of them killed and injured.
With a palace of three or four thousand people, Yue Le and more than three thousand Manchu and Mongolian 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 turned to the northeast without looking back.
Escape, Yang Zhan, Li Huaifang had already left behind the troops who blocked the pursuers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and also followed behind and ran away with a lifeless escape. They all ran away without a wheel of one hundred and fifty war horses. They followed more than three thousand
The soldiers of the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners ran away frantically, fearing that the pursuers behind would catch up.
After a night of fierce fighting, the Qing army's attack was curbed. After dawn, what the Chinese Revolutionary Army soldiers saw was a tragic scene. The entire water surface was dyed red with blood, and it was floating thousands of people on the dark red water.
There were thousands of corpses of Qing soldiers, and there were arrows, clothes, shoes and other objects floating next to these corpses.
In addition to the corpse, there are countless living people. They either stand densely on the raft or in the water deep in chest, holding the raft with their hands and looking around with their eyes blankly. Most of them have not only been
Without weapons and fighting spirit, he is like lifeless bodies.
The soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army rowed sheepskin rafts and slowly approached these "shells". After a certain distance, they opened their voices and shouted: "Save the weapons! Those who surrendered will not die!" Then they took several rafts together,
Relying on the raft of the Qing army, gathering the half-dead people together, and in order to prevent them from resisting, they still tied them up one by one. There was no major resistance in this process, only some Eight Banners soldiers refused to surrender and came out of the water
Pick up the spear and resist stubbornly, 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. Most of them did not have strong will, loyalty, and belief that they were not afraid of death. Almost all of them were
After surrendering, the Chinese Revolutionary Army collected more than 170,000 Qing army surrendered. At this point, the Manchu Han army musketeers organized by the Qing court in Henan were almost wiped out, and the Chinese Revolutionary Army stationed in Henan
The number of troops was completely reversed from the number of Qing army troops.
Yangzhou City is famous for its wealth, but now Yangzhou City is full of desolation. The city is full of refugees who fled from all over the world. Those who have richer can stay in inns, while those who have no money have relatives.
You can also rely on relatives and friends in the city. If you have neither money nor relatives, you can only live in a shack. Therefore, you can set up shacks in any place with empty space in the city. Standing on the city wall, you can see everywhere you go
A black shack.
These refugees were all the Qing army forcibly driven nearby villagers to Yangzhou City. Yangzhou City is already an isolated city, with troops and occupied areas of the Chinese Revolutionary Army from all directions. In the large area south of Huai'an, only Yangzhou is still there
In order to defend Yangzhou City, the Qing army now had to drive a large number of people into Yangzhou. The Qing army had even more vicious ways. They wanted 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 walls of Yangzhou City, a large number of Qing knights appeared behind them on fast horses. They were running wildly on the official road, under their crotch.
The horses were running hard, obviously having run a long way, and the horse's hooves stepped on the wet and hard road surface, splashing a small amount of soil, leaving behind a long, shallow horse's hooves, and their destination was obviously
It is also Yangzhou City. Each horse carried a lot of robbed food and finance on its back, but there were also many injured people. It seems that they had a conflict with the militia guarding the village during the robbery.
