Chapter 271 Fuzhou
Fujian Xianxia Pass, Zhangjing Hahamu, Qing'anbang, Meilezhangjing Galaidaoga's 20,000 Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, and Ming generals Ma Bao, Lin Yi, and Lu Jue's 20,000 defenders have been fighting fiercely for more than a month, and they have tried their best. Hahamu and Galaidaoga can't break Xianxia Pass either.
"Zhang Jing, if we have been slow to break through Xianxia Pass, General Jingnan will be in danger." Galai Daoga was a little anxious.
Hahamu sighed, "There is no way. The emperor only gave us 20,000 Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia. Although they are all elite, they are few soldiers after all, and Xianxia Pass is dangerous. Unexpectedly, Prince Jing Jin was defeated so miserably in Jiangxi. The Ming army in Jiangxi was approaching western Zhejiang. Chen Duxian wanted to deal with the Ming army in eastern Zhejiang and the Ming army in Jiangxi. He really couldn't draw troops to reinforce us. He had to do his best and leave his will!"
When Tinnikan died, Galai Daoga lost his temper and had to sigh a few times.
??
Hahamu and Galai Daoga were worried about not breaking the Xianxia Pass and unable to rescue Fuzhou, while Zhu Hengjia was also worried about not breaking the Qing army's defense line.
After his army arrived in Shangrao, he did not rest and immediately launched an offensive against the Qing army.
Unexpectedly, Jin Li and Liu Zhiyuan were both veterans who were good at fighting. Tunqi received support from these two people and rely on Sanqing Mountain, Pingyang Mountain and other mountains to defend the situation. The Ming army could not do anything to them for the time being.
The most annoying thing was Cai Shiying, the governor of Jiangxi of Qing Dynasty. At first, this guy fled desperately, but unexpectedly came to Yushan County but he was brave enough to fight to the death. As soon as he learned, he realized that this guy was the governor of Jiangxi, and Yushan was the last county town controlled by the Qing army. The Qing army was very strict, and the governor of Jiangxi lost the entire Jiangxi. Not only was he guilty, but the whole family might be sent to Ningguta as slaves. Therefore, Governor Cai was cruel and defending Yushan City to the death. Even if he died in battle, it would be better than the whole family.
"Oh! Since I raised my army, I have been invincible and have been able to defeat everything. I didn't expect that the small Yushan City could not be defeated," Zhu Hengjia sighed.
Staff member Liu Maoxia said: "It is only a matter of time before the country is supervised, with your Shenwu, it is only a matter of time to capture Yushan. However, it is not the best way to stabilize the city. Our army's goal is Nanjing rather than Yushan. After a long time, reinforcements come to Nanjing, so it is not easy to attack. It is better to send a general to garrison here. You lead a large army to go north from Raozhou and take Nanjing directly."
"Well, Liu Qing's words are reasonable."
"I heard that the main force of the Qing Navy in Fujian has been annihilated by our army. You can order the Marquis of Dinghai Sun Gui to lead the main force of the Navy in Fujian to enter the estuary of the Yangtze River, capture Chongming Island, and restrain the Qing army in Nanzhili."
"good!"
Zhu Hengjia ordered Yuan Zongdi and Hui Zhiguan to lead 30,000 troops to guard the Qing army near Shangrao to prevent the Qing army in Zhejiang. He led 170,000 troops from Raozhou to the north and Zhili in the south. He also ordered Sun Gui to lead 30,000 Fujian Navy to attack Chongming Island, threatening the Qing Yangtze River Waterway, leaving only 10,000 Zheng Bin's troops to monitor the remnants of the Qing Fujian Navy.
??
People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has phases and waxing, and this is difficult to complete in ancient times.
The Qing Jingnan General Niuhulu Chen Tai no longer had the energy he had when he was just heading south. At this moment, he only had 40,000 remaining soldiers and hurried in Fuzhou. To be precise, only half of Fuzhou Prefecture was left. The Ming army successively captured Luoyuan, Gutian, Minqing, Yongfu, and Fuqing counties, and he was left with only two counties, Fuzhou Prefecture, Minxian and Lianjiang.
However, it is not all bad news. The Ming army divided 20,000 people to guard Xianxia Pass. A while ago, I learned the news that the main force of the Ming army's Fujian Navy went north to Chongming Island. Now the Ming army besieged Fuzhou has only 60,000 Land Divisions and 10,000 Navy Divisions, which has been much less pressure.
However, Chen Tai was not happy at all when he heard this "good news". The Ming army was fighting in southern Zhili, and even if the imperial court had reinforcements, he would only reinforce Nan Zhili first. He would not receive any reinforcements for a long time.
What made him even more worried was that there was not much food in Min County, which was only enough to support it for half a year.
Chen Taizheng was worried that the 63-year-old veteran Hesheli Hefu walked into the tent, "Master, it is not a solution to trap the lonely city. If this continues, morale will collapse. We must take the initiative to increase our morale."
Chen Tai knew that this veteran was always resourceful. Now that the emperor is in charge of power, the direction of the court has changed. His nephew Heseri Sony is one of the emperor's favorite ministers, so the old general naturally rises with the flow.
He did not dare to neglect and asked respectfully: "What are the tricks of the old general?"
"The last general thought that the Ming army would win consecutive battles and would definitely underestimate our army. You can ambush the Ming army on Xuefeng Mountain."
Chen Tai thought about it and praised: "The old general is worthy of being the wise general of our Eight Banners! Although Xuefeng Mountain is not high, the mountains are stretched and the winding and curved, it is indeed a good place to ambush!"
"The general, the soldiers are in the world but not in many places. You can choose more than 10,000 elite soldiers to ambush in Xuefeng Mountain. If there are too many, it will make the mistake."
Chen Tai nodded and personally brought Xifu, Jixiha, Dong Alai, Suksaha and other generals, 15,000 elite soldiers, and buried in Xuefeng Mountain. The three people behind were all famous generals among the Eight Banners, especially Bayala, Jing Suksaha, who was even more renowned.
??
Xuefeng Mountain is not high, the highest peak is only 240 feet, but it is winding and rugged, 120 miles long. It is named after "there is still snow on the top of the mountain on a summer day."
The vanguard of the Ming army, Wang Jincai, led his army of 15,000 and walked in the front.
"Well!"
Qian Zong Liu Guoxuan came to the deputy vanguard Xuan Pingbo Dong Fangce, "Reported to the deputy vanguard, the terrain here is rugged, so you must send a scout to the marquis and be careful to beware of this."
After Liu Guoxuan surrendered, he was assigned to Dong Fangce. Seeing that he was quite brave, Dong Fangce still entrusted the position of Qian Zong.
"Well, your words are very reasonable, I will go to Liyang Bo to speak."
Dong Fangce drove the horse to Wang Jincai, "Liyang Bo, this place is very dangerous, you should not advance rashly. You can send a scout to explore the way first, and then go."
Wang Jincai said unhappily: "In the Battle of Beixi, our army wiped out the main force of the Tatars, and then won consecutive victories. The enemy has become a frightened bird, so how could there be an ambush? Even if there is one, I will kill him without leaving any armor."
Dong Fangce continued to persuade him, but Wang Jincai was furious, "If you are afraid, you will stay in the back team. I will lead my troops first." So he ignored Dong Fangce and personally led his army to the front.

Dong Fangce had no choice but to lead his army to follow him and secretly ordered his subordinates to be careful.
When the army reached Manjushri Platform, suddenly heard a cannon sound. Jixiha led his army to block the entrance of the valley near Huacheng Pavilion in Zhenshan. Chen Tai and Xifu led their army to attack from Luohan Rock, Dong Alai came out from Kumu Temple, and Suksaha came out from Moxiang Stone.
Wang Jincai was shocked, and he was in a panic and rushed to set up the formation.
Suksaha led 800 Bayala soldiers to attack Wang Jincai's central army. At this time, the selection criteria for Bayala soldiers were no longer as strict as Nurhaci and Huang Taiji era, but they were still the most powerful soldiers of the Qing court. The Suksaha troops had more than a thousand people, and they had fought bloody battles to this day, with only eight hundred remaining. Although the number of people was small, they were all like crazy tigers and were unstoppable.
Ming general Hong Zheng saw that the Qing army was coming fiercely, so he bent his bow and arrow and hit Suksahama's belly.
"Yu Yuyu", the war horse neighed, jumped up with its front hooves, and threw Suksaha off the horse's back.
Suksaha is worthy of being the one who has chosen Bayala Zhang Jing, and his martial arts are really good. He rolled on the spot, took off his horsepower, thrust the carp, and rushed towards Hong Zheng with two swords in his hand.
Hong Zheng was shocked and was chopped off his horse before he could resist.
Suksaha snatched Hong Zheng's war horse, turned over and killed the flag at Wang Jincai.
Wang Jincai was frightened and drove his horse backwards. The flank Melezhang Jingdong Alai came and smashed Wang Jincai's head with a mace.
Seeing that the Qing army was coming in full force, Dong Fangce wanted to lead his troops to retreat, Liu Guoxuan hurriedly stopped, "Deputy vanguard, the Qing army must have blocked the valley entrance at this time. Moreover, the mountain roads here are rugged and the army formations are chaotic, and it is easy to be annihilated by the enemy. Why don't you show off your general's flag, gather the defeated troops, and form a formation to defend. The army of the Pinglu General is behind us. As long as you persist for a few hours, there will be reinforcements."
Dong Fangce followed his words and showed the flag of generals at Chongsheng Temple on the southern foot of Xuefeng Mountain. Seeing the flag of generals, the defeated soldiers from Wang Jincai's troops gathered at Chongsheng Temple.
The Ming army set up a dense military formation in Chongsheng Temple. The Qing army rushed bravely, but could not break through the Ming army formation for a while.
"Swoosh swish swish", Liu Guoxuan shot and killed several Qing army Niu Lu Zhang Jing in succession.
"Good arrow!"
"Master Liu Qian is mighty!"
Seeing that Liu Guoxuan's archery technique was so magical, the morale of the Ming army was uncontrollable.
Suksaha was furious and led hundreds of Bayala soldiers to attack the Ming army.
Liu Guoxuan shot an arrow, and Suksak heard the arrows and smiled disdainfully, and only turned slightly. His Bayala soldiers were all wearing double armor, and the common arrows could not penetrate their armor at all.
However, Liu Guoxuan had an amazing arm strength and could pull three stones and strong bows. He shot Suksaha's right flank with one arrow. Suksaha retreated with injury.
The two sides fought fiercely for three hours, and the Qing army could not take over Chongsheng Temple.
Reinforcements from the Ming army arrived one after another.
Gan Hui led 2,000 troops to the entrance of the valley. Seeing that the area of Huachengting in Zhenshan had been occupied by the Qing army, the valley shouted and killed soared into the sky, so he wanted to lead the army to rescue him.
His subordinates advised him: "General, our army has few soldiers, so why not wait until the subsequent army arrives before entering the valley together."
Gan Hui was furious, "How could he see that the robes are in trouble, but because the soldiers are young, they will not be saved?"
This "Haicheng Hero" ignored the few soldiers and led two thousand soldiers to attack Huacheng Pavilion.
Ji Xiha, the Qing general who guarded Huacheng Pavilion, hurriedly fought against Gan Hui.
Gradually, Baofeng Bo Luo Chengyao and other Ming troops arrived, but Ji Xiha could not resist and asked Chen Tai for emergency.
Seeing the Jixi-Har Military Newspaper, Chen Tai sighed and knew that it was impossible to wipe out the Ming army in the valley. Fortunately, it had already damaged the Ming army's spirit, and this battle was also considered a small victory.
"The army formed a formation and retreated!"
"Woo~Woo~Woo~Woo", the horn of retreat sounded, and the Qing army retreated out of Xuefeng Mountain in an orderly manner. The five thousand Qing troops were all elite. The retreat was as fast as the attack, and soon disappeared without a trace.
The army of the Pinglu General Yan Tianfeng rushed to Xuefeng Mountain and counted the battle damage, killing more than 5,000 people. They were furious and wanted to pursue Wang Jincai's crime, but they had already died in the army.
He called Liu Guoxuan and asked, "Are you Liu Guoxuan?"
"It's the last general."
"Who is the current position?"
"The last general will be the current position of Qianzong of Nanjing."
Yan Tianfeng smiled, "From today, you will no longer be the Qianzong, and you will be promoted to Nanjing Guerrilla."
