To the south of Ba County, on the hills on the other side of the Yangtze River, several Ming army scouts paid attention to a mighty procession marching west along the Yangtze River.In front of the team, a banner was unfurled, with the word "Li" written on it, about 20,000 people, with sharp bayonets, spears like a forest, and shining armor, which could be seen to be a well-equipped Zhou army.The scout observed the hill for a moment, then hurriedly slipped down from the back of the mountain, turned over the war horse tied to the foot of the mountain, and took the path to the south.Two days later, Li Dingguo received a report from the scouts and found that the Zhou army stationed in Chongqing, numbering more than 20,000 people, was heading for Luzhou.In the big tent, when joining the army, the departing Zhou army was immediately marked on the map, and Xia Wanchun smiled: "Shang Ke is happy." ”Li Dingguo asked the scout: "How is the enemy's equipment and who is in command?"
”The scout saluted on one knee, "King Qiqi, the enemy army has many muskets, bright armor, and a strict line when marching, and it is by no means a rabble."
As for the person who led the troops, there was no way to find out about his humble position, and he only saw the word "Li" on the general's flag. ”"Surname Li?
In this way, Shang Kexi is still in Ba County. ”Li Dingguo frowned slightly.Xia Wanchun smiled and said: "The leader of the troops should be Zhou General Li Guoying, this person turned out to be Zuo Liangyu's general, quite good at fighting, Shang Kexi sent him to Luzhou, indicating that he already thought that our army was attacking southern Sichuan."
Although Shang Kexi is still in Ba County, he has a total of more than 30,000 people, and 20,000 were taken away by Li Guoying, and Ba County is empty. ”Li Dingguo nodded slowly, the main force of the Zhou army in Ba County went to Luzhou, and the main force of the Zhou army was transferred to southern Sichuan, so the line from Ba County to Kuizhou will not be reinforced by the Zhou army, and the opportunity for the Ming army will come."
Pass my orders, the army is ready to attack!"
Li Dingguo finally gave the order to attack."
Woo~" The horn sounded, and the hidden Ming army camp immediately came to life, the soldiers rushed out of the camp, and the cavalry brought the war horses and quickly completed the assembly.Late at night, ~~~~~~, an autumn rain came unexpectedly, and the thin rain line fell on the soldiers wearing the robes with the slightest chill after autumn.The autumn rain fell, the white mist rose in the mountains and forests, and the earth became a little cold and desolate.This is the valley of the Fuling River, a Ming army of 10,000 people, stepping on the muddy road, regardless of the invasion of wind and rain, marching quickly, winding valleys between the mountains and forests.As the first general, it was Bai Wenxuan, the general of the Dingxi Army, who was ordered by Li Dingguo to advance to Fuzhou.Fuzhou is located between Ba County and Kuizhou, the upstream is Fotuguan, Ba County, the downstream is Fengdu, Zhongzhou and Wanxian, the Ming army occupies here, and the Zhou army's eastern Sichuan defense line is cut off.The Zhou army knew the importance of Fuzhou, so 6,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in Fuzhou and Wangjiang Pass.Although 6,000 soldiers and horses are not many, they occupy a favorable position, and as long as the defense is appropriate, it is difficult for an army of 100,000 to attack.At this time, after two days of day and night, in the early morning, the 10,000 forwards led by Bai Wenxuan had arrived in the mountains and forests thirty miles away from Fuzhou.There was no rain here, and Bai Wenxuan saw that the sky was getting brighter, so he ordered the army to rest in a forest."
Stop moving forward and rest on the spot!"
Bai Wenxuan ordered Le Ma to drink.The military order was passed, and the advancing soldiers immediately stopped.The Ming soldiers, who had walked all night, took off the blankets and quilts from their backs, ate some dry food, and lay down in the woods to rest.Bai Wenxuan turned over and dismounted, handed over the whip to the guards, found a stone to sit down, and ordered: "Let the generals come to discuss the matter." ”After a short time, the generals of the battalions, as well as the soldiers, came over one after another, sat down around him, and came to discuss the attack on Fuzhou."
Judging from the intelligence, the Zhou army stationed in Fuzhou and Wangjiang Pass, with a total of more than 6,000 people, was guarded by Zhou generals Liu Zhifu and Qi Han."
Bai Wen chose a tree branch to paint on the ground and said: "Before Wangjiang Pass is in Fuzhou, how do you say to attack?
”"General Wangjiang Pass and Fuling, both are one-man passes, if you sneak attack Wangjiang Pass, Fuzhou must be prepared, this is really not easy to do."
The general said in a deep voice.Everyone was silent in thought, although the main force of the Zhou army in Ba County was led away, there were still more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.If the Ming army could not quickly occupy Fuzhou, Shang Kexi would definitely lead his troops to come in person, and even if the Ming army broke through the defense of the Zhou army, I am afraid that it would have to pay huge casualties.At this time, Lu Zixun, who was accompanying the army, said: "Before leaving, Xia Fujun had already explained, asking the general to contact the Eastern Sichuan Righteous Army, why didn't the general send scouts and take a look around!"
”Zhao Ming not only gave the Western Army a large amount of equipment, but also sent a group of staff officers into the Dingxi Army to assist the Dingxi Army in combat, and at the same time slowly mastered and influenced the Dingxi Army.Although they lack the strategy and experience of war, they are familiar with some situations on the battlefield, such as checking maps, judging distances, processing intelligence, and assisting the commander-in-chief in making decisions.When Bai Wenxuan heard this, he remembered Li Dingguo's explanation, and ordered in a deep voice: "Send scouts to take a look in the direction of Fuzhou." ”During the Chongzhen period, the Xuanfu Division of the Eastern Sichuan Stone Pillar produced a great female general, who was the famous Qin Liangyu.The righteous army that Xia Wanchun said was the person of Shizhu Xuanfu Division.When Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, Qin Liangyu commanded the white pole soldiers, and they were killed and wounded, but Qin Liangyu did not surrender to Zhang Xianzhong, but continued to fight in eastern Sichuan.Later, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated by the Qing army, and the Manchu Qing occupied Sichuan, and Qin Liangyu continued to resist the Qing army and paid attention to the development of the anti-Qing situation in Jiangnan.After the situation of the anti-Qing Dynasty gradually improved, Qin Liangyu wrote several times, hoping that the Longwu Dynasty could send troops into Sichuan, and she was willing to take over the army and help the court recover Bashu.It's a pity that Qin Liangyu didn't wait for that day, she looked forward to it, she wanted to see through, and she didn't wait for Wang Shi to enter Sichuan when she was dying.After Qin Liangyu's death, the situation in eastern Sichuan deteriorated, and many weak rebel armies were either annihilated or surrendered.The remaining rebels also suffered the greatest losses, and many of the rebels who were originally very active were either destroyed or hidden in the mountains.Qin Liangyu's clansmen also split in this case, some people could not bear the encirclement and suppression, came out to surrender, and some of them struggled to support in the mountains and mountains, and sent messages to the Ming Dynasty many times, "The righteous teachers in eastern Sichuan are all playing the Ming flag, and I hope that the king will enter Sichuan as soon as possible." ”Therefore, when the envoy of the Ming Dynasty arrived, the leader of the rebel army said that the reason was to cooperate with the Ming army.In recent years, the rebel army has been hiding in the mountains of eastern Sichuan, and has not gone out of the mountains to attack, and after Wu Sangui established the Zhou State, he also did not take care of these young people in the mountains.Therefore, the righteous army did not go out of the mountain, and the Zhou army did not encircle and suppress, so the righteous army survived proudly.Half a month ago, Qin Yiming, the leader of the rebel army, received Xia Wanchun's letter, so he led the rebel army out of the mountains and moved in the direction of Fuzhou, and has been waiting here for many days.()
