Chapter 924: Wang Zhiren's heroic martyrdom

When Wang Yilin heard the sound, he stabbed the Qing soldiers who rushed over to die with a knife. Without looking back, he replied loudly: "Uncle, retreat first, and my nephew will be your palace behind you."

Wang Zhiren drew his sword and rushed to Wang Yilin's side, and turned Wang Yilin's body hard, slapped his hand and said with a heavy slap: "You have to leave silk incense for the Wang family... In addition, please bring me a message to Wu Zheng and ask him, Zhoushan Navy is so close, why hasn't you come to reinforce?"

Wang Yilin parted in tears.

On the first day of the sixth month, the third hour of Mao.

The King of Xingguo, the Duke of Xingguo in Yixing Dynasty, led all the original sea naval divisions, more than 7,800, and more than 700 warships of all sizes to face the enemy on the river north of Longtan. At about noon, the entire army was wiped out.

The entire waters are full of wreckage of warships. After burning, they are slowly soaked by the river water and piles of floating corpses.

The Qing army, who had already climbed the bank of Longtan River and the Qing army, who were still on the boat on the river, were shouting for victory in response.

Yingtian Mansion is in a hurry!

....

Coincidentally.

The Qing army in Jiangpu was more smooth than the Qing army that Yizhen set out.

There was no resistance from the Ming Navy here. The attacking Qing army was only shot by bows and arrows from the Jiang Defensive Army when they were close to the shore.

Where can Liao Liao's several shore defense artillery block thousands of landing ships?

In addition, the loading was too slow, and after only two rounds, the Qing army had already landed.

The Five Thousand Rivers Defense Ming Army was quickly defeated.

The Qing army rushed towards Dasheng Pass almost without stopping.

Dasheng Pass is located on the east bank of the Yangtze River.

That is, the Yangtze River had a turning point in Yingtian Prefecture, which caused the Yangtze River to flow east-west to north-south.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang here, and thus was named Dasheng Pass.

Today, the Qing army attacked the capital of Yixingchao, which can be said to be the cycle of reincarnation and changes in the world.

Fortunately, the Guan Mingjun was well defended.

Zhu Cilang deployed one of the few artillery fire here.

The generals of the Guan Guards were Lai Jijin.

Lai Jijin is actually not the chief general, and his official name is General Jian Ji.

This General Ji was originally a eunuch sent by the emperor to the army. He was of no character but had great power.

But in this world, how can you still care about compliance or not?

Lai Jijin was definitely not a eunuch, he was a student. He joined Huang Daozhou's disciples and was also a disciple of Huang Daozhou, along with Cai Chunrong, Zhao Shichao and Mao Yujie.

In history, he was captured and killed at the same time as Huang Daozhou, and is known as the "Four Gentlemen of the Yellow Sect".

However, now that Wu Zheng restored Ningbo Prefecture, the four of them also came to Yingtian Prefecture with Huang Daozhou.

When Lai Jijin followed Huang Daozhou in Fujian, he had already led troops and served as the general of the supervisor. Therefore, after Huang Daozhou took over as the chief minister, he arranged him to Dasheng Pass. As the saying goes, knowing people and making good use of them, he will not avoid relatives.

Although Lai Jijin has led troops, he is not sure he has no military talent.

Fortunately, he didn't need to lead troops to fight this time, he just commanded the defense. He was doing this.

Because when he was in Fujian, he was not doing defense.

There were not many victories in Guan Ming’s army, only 6,000 people.

But because Dasheng Pass has always been a military fortress of the Ming Dynasty, there has always been no shortage of food, grass and arms.

In addition, the terrain was dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Lai Jijin led the Ming army and blocked tens of thousands of Qing troops' two rounds of attack.

Of course, the Qing army did not do its best. It was not that the Qing army wanted to release water, but that the subsequent army had just landed on the riverside with the siege equipment.

The commander of the Qing army in Jiangpu, Prince Nikan, led the main force of 50,000 troops to the front of Dasheng Pass at 2 noon.

Seeing the Ming army resisting tenaciously, they issued an order to conquer the pass that day at all costs.

Nikan had no choice. Who asked Dorgon to order the capture of Yingtian Prefecture within two days?

If we cannot conquer the Great Victory Pass today, how can we talk about the arrival of Yingtian Prefecture?

So a tragic battle began.

With Nikan, more than a dozen red-clothed cannons from the Qing army were also bombarded with imprisonment towards the pass.

However, the artillery deployed on Dasheng Pass was not as far as the red-clothed cannon of the Qing army.

I can only get beaten with the bullet.

Several rounds of artillery fire came down, and the defenders at the pass suffered heavy casualties.

Nikan then ordered an attack.

Passes, the reason why they are called passes is that they must be because of the dangerous terrain, and large armies often cannot deploy their troops due to the terrain.

This is beneficial to keeping the ground.

But because of this, the Ming army could not resist the entire army.

It’s the same all over the city, and the tactics of adding fuel are used.

But the problem is that the Qing army's artillery range can cross the pass and bombard the rear of the pass.

However, the Ming army artillery on the city was unable to shoot after the Qing army approached.

This difference made the Ming army's defense a disadvantage.

When countless ladders are laid on the city wall, it is only a matter of time before the loss is lost.

One hour later, the battle between the two sides had entered a white-hot stage.

The Qing army was no less casualties than the Ming army, but they were rotating and fighting a disabled team, and the new force was made up.

The Ming army defeated a smuggled team, and the ones that were replaced were still replaced in front.

The city defense is in danger.

Variations finally appeared. Xia Wanchun led the Jianyang Guard to the side of the Qing army and immediately launched an attack on the right wing of the Qing army.

Nikan, who was forty, was a veteran of the Qing court. After becoming an adult, he kept fighting on the battlefield.

During the Tianming period, he followed the army to conquer Dorote and Dong Kui's tribes, and won many military achievements.

During the Tiancong period, he fought with the Ming Dynasty and participated in the Battle of Jinzhou and Ningyuan.

In the first year of Chongde, he followed Huang Taiji to fight against North Korea and made great contributions.

In the fourth year of Chongde, Nikan attacked Tashan and Lianshan from Prince Ajige of England.

Such a veteran will naturally not take Xia Wanchun's Jianyangwei and a mere ten thousand Ming troops seriously.

After a brief chaos and pause, Nikan immediately ordered the division of troops, with three thousand cavalry as the vanguard, five thousand archers, and ten thousand swords and soldiers, totaling 19,000 soldiers to face Xia Wanchun's Jianyang Guard.

At the same time, the attack on Dasheng Pass was restored.

Dasheng Guan Jun, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was once again under great pressure.

Not only that, Xia Wanchun's troops, who had just arrived in a hurry, were also in a difficult support.

In the Shen period, after a fierce battle, Dasheng Pass was captured by the Qing army, and General Jianji Lai Jijin and 6,000 defenders were all killed.

After two hours of hard work, Xia Wanchun heard that Dasheng Pass was finally lost and had to order a retreat.

The Qing army was also suffering heavy casualties, but the main force was still there.

After a brief reorganization, Nikan quickly led an army of more than 40,000, crossed the Dasheng Pass and rushed towards Yingtian Prefecture.

Yingtian Mansion is in crisis!

....

After most of the day, the two important defense lines in the north and west were lost.

Yixingchao, who was hasty to face the challenge, was really in chaos.

But at this time, Emperor Zhu Cilang once again showed that the Ming Dynasty should have backbone. With the help of the chief minister Huang Daozhou, he beheaded three surrenderers in public in the court, thus unifying his thoughts and promulgated an edict to resist to the death.

The whole city of Yingtian Prefecture began to mobilize, and nearly 60,000 strong men were temporarily recruited.

With the original 30,000 Beijing Guards, 80,000 new soldiers and 10,000 imperial guards, Yingtian Mansion's troops reached an unprecedented 120,000.

This battle can still be done.
