Ranking Pass History: Inventory of the Top Ten Great Players in History

When the sound of the explosion reached the Qing army camp outside Changzhou, Tong Yangjia and Tulai, who were drinking together in the military tent, jumped up almost at the same time.

They ran out of the military tent very quickly, and saw a dark red smoke rising from the Changzhou government office.

Turai stomped his foot hard,
"Borobelle is in danger!"

Tong Yangjia rolled his eyeballs, and suddenly shouted loudly,
"Where are the guards? Quickly inform the soldiers in the battalion to strengthen their vigilance. I suspect that the Ming army has already ambushed."

Tong Yangjia guessed right.

The explosion is a signal.

As soon as Li Laiheng heard the explosion, he immediately led tens of thousands of cavalry, got out of the mountain forest where he was hiding, and stepped towards the Qing army camp five miles away at the fastest speed.

On the other side, Chen Zilong and Wu Yi led [-] white-headed troops, ambushing on the only way the Qing army retreated, blocking the Qing army's retreat.

Although Tong Yangjia's reaction was extremely quick, he still failed to save the seventeen thousand Mongolian and Han Eight Banners.

The main reason is that after the Qing army entered the south of the Yangtze River, the killing was really smooth.

The Ming Dynasty troops they encountered were completely local chickens and tile dogs. Most of them surrendered on the lookout, and a small part collapsed at the first touch.

If there are too many such downwind battles, the generals of the Qing Dynasty will naturally become arrogant.

According to the military system of the Qing Dynasty, there were rules for both cavalry and camping.

Even if you only rest for one night, you must set up an extremely solid military camp.

But seeing that the Ming army was a bunch of weak chickens, the Eight Banners soldiers gradually slacked off.

When building barracks, things are often perfunctory.

For example, the military camp set up by Tong Yangjia and Tulai was very perfunctory.A camp gate was only pretended to be built, but there was only a row of thick wooden sticks on the outside of the camp, which was regarded as the camp wall.

Faced with this undefended military camp, Li Laiheng was naturally ecstatic.

He led tens of thousands of cavalry into the Qing army camp like a gust of wind blowing fallen leaves.

More than half of the Mongolian and Han Eight Banners soldiers were cavalry.

Tulai also organized three thousand Mongolian cavalry at the fastest speed, trying to stop Li Laiheng's offensive and buy time for Tong Yangjia to organize other soldiers.

However, as soon as the cavalry from both sides collided, the Mongolian cavalry was defeated by Li Laiheng's more and more proficient wall charge.

Even the fierce general Tulai almost died under the horseshoes of the loyal cavalry.

Li Laiheng brandished his iron spears and led the cavalry in a dense formation. After smashing the assembled Qing army, he divided the cavalry into more than a dozen teams, rushed left and right in the Qing army camp, and chopped down the Qing troops who were scurrying around one by one. land.

Tong Yangjia and Tu Lai only persisted for less than an hour, and the whole camp was wiped out by Li Laiheng.

These two people were also clever, and led thousands of remnant soldiers to escape from Li Laiheng's pursuit at the last moment.

However, the Qing soldiers who did not wait to escape showed a smile.Hundreds of torches suddenly lit up in the darkness ahead.More than ten thousand soldiers with heads wrapped in white cloth appeared in front of them with swords and guns.

Tulai gritted his teeth and said, "Chen Zilong and Wu Yi also dare to come and rob us?"

Tong Yangjia also said sharply,
"My sons and daughters, although there are many white-headed soldiers, they are not to be feared. They are all mobs. Let us crush them with one blow."

The two sides killed indiscriminately in the dark.

Tong Yangjia and Tulai took the lead and led thousands of remnants to attack repeatedly.

Accidentally, Tong Yangjia was surrounded by more than a dozen spearmen of the White-headed Army, and he poked fiercely, turning into a sieve full of holes.

Tulai was extremely lucky to kill a bloody road and escaped with a group of remnants.

After dawn, Tulai counted the number of people, and found that there were less than a thousand disabled soldiers who broke through the siege.

Can't help crying loudly.

This battle was lost too badly.

The [-] Mongolian and Han Eight Banners soldiers were almost wiped out.

On the [-]th day of August in the first year of Longwu, Bo Luo, the general who conquered the South, led [-] Mongolian and Han Eight Banners soldiers who swept across the entire southern Zhejiang to conquer Jiangyin.On the way to Changzhou, he fell into Yan Yingyuan's plan to invite the emperor into the urn.Qianhu Ji Congxiao lured Boluo into Changzhou City by using her body as a bait.

When Boluo was drinking and having fun in the government office of Changzhou, he was blown to pieces by thousands of catties of gunpowder buried in the hall.

Sanyuan Bo Li Laiheng led [-] cavalry, and once again used a wall charge to defeat the Qing army camp outside the city.

Tong Yangjia, a heavy general of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, was stabbed to death by the white-headed army when he broke through the encirclement.

Of the [-] Mongolian and Han Eight Banners soldiers, less than a thousand fled back to Jinling Mansion.

When Prince Yu Duoduo heard the news, he was furious and shocked, and ordered Kong Youde's firearms troops to retreat to Zhenjiang and not to attack Jiangyin for the time being.

The reason why Duoduo made the decision to shrink was not because he was afraid of Yan Yingyuan or Li Laiheng, but because most of the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners were still escaping the summer heat in Jiangbei at this time.

Even if Changzhou, Jiangyin and other places are conquered, they will not be able to defend.

In addition, Tulai, who escaped from birth, described Li Laiheng's wall charge tactics in detail to Duduo. Duduo could not think of a way to crack it, so he could only adopt a strategy of shrinking defense.

Anyway, as long as Jinling is guarded, half of Jiangnan can be controlled.

Dorgon, who was sitting in Beijing, was also taken aback by the destruction of the Eight Banners.

Although the sacrifices were not the real Manchu Eight Banners, the Menghan Eight Banners were also elite veterans who followed the Qing soldiers through life and death.

All of a sudden, [-] people were lost, causing great panic to the Eight Banners nobles who had just entered the customs.

Fortunately, Dorgon quickly selected some elites from the nearly one million Ming troops who surrendered, and replenished the losses of the Han Eight Banners.

However, the defeat of Changzhou caused the greatest damage to the Qing Dynasty, not the loss of troops, but the loss of morale.

Since the soldiers of the Eight Banners entered the customs, they have won countless battles, so that their reputation alone can frighten the people and soldiers of the entire Ming Dynasty.

In this battle, Li Laiheng tore off the Superman coat from the Eight Banners soldiers, exposing his buttocks without underwear.

The rebels who resisted the hair-shaving order saw that the Eight Banners soldiers were not made of iron, and they would still be defeated and die. Their morale was boosted immediately, and for a while they even restrained the Green Battalion soldiers who were destroying them.

This is like Li Dingguo in history, in the great victory in Hengyang, he killed [-] Manchu Eight Banners in the first battle, and beheaded Prince Nikan in battle, which immediately scared Emperor Shunzhi to retreat outside the pass.

It is because Li Dingguo's victory stripped off the invincible superman coat of the Eight Banners soldiers.

If it wasn't for the big traitor Hong Chengchou who led nearly a million green battalion soldiers to adopt the strategy of joint defense of five provinces, which dragged Li Dingguo to death and lured Sun Kewang to surrender, the Qing Dynasty might not have been able to stabilize the world.

Li Laiheng's battle had a greater impact than Li Dingguo's.

During the peak period when the Qing soldiers were in full swing, Li Laiheng gave them a blow to the head.

It was for this reason that when news of the great victory in Changzhou reached Shaoxing Mansion, Zhu Yihai was so happy that he danced Hu Xuanwu on the Golden Palace.

Then Zhu Yihai ordered that Li Laiheng be named the champion.

For thousands of years in China, there has only been one champion, and that is Huo Qubing, the famous Han general who swept the Xiongnu like a sweep.

Now Zhu Yihai even named Li Laiheng the champion, and compared him with the famous general Huo Qubing, which shows the high evaluation of Changzhou victory.

Of course, Zhu Yihai will not forget Yan Yingyuan who made the decision, he named Yan Yingyuan as Marquis of Kehu.

As for Chen Zilong, Wu Yi and others who participated in the battle, they also received rewards.

As for Ji Congxiao, who made the most contributions and died the most tragically, Zhu Yihai later named him Marquis of Pohu, who lived in a thousand households.

He also awarded Ji Congxiao's wife the title of Imperial Lady, and each of Ji Congxiao's two underage sons a title of Thousand Households.
