When word of the Sanhe victory reached Wuhu, Li Shixian became more active and divided his troops into 3,000 troops to storm Huangchi.
Deng Shaoliang immediately sent Qing troops from Wanjun and Shihuang to help, and asked Zheng Kuishi to divide his troops to contain them.
That night, Shixian personally led ten thousand troops to attack Yashan; he also divided his troops from Xiaojing Mountain to attack Gushanba. Shaoliang sent brave soldiers from Fangshan to rescue Gushanba; he then sent brave soldiers from Wanjun and Shihuang to rescue Yashan; he also sent 400 troops from Nanling to supplement Wanjun; he also sent 400 troops from Jingxian County to supplement Nanling. At dawn, Shixian suddenly attacked Shi Yao again, and Shao Liang mobilized Yashan troops to return bravely. At noon, Shixian sent a reserve team to attack Gushanba again. Shao Liang acted a little late, and the Gushan Dam had been broken. The next day, Shixian gathered the main force to attack Yashan. Shao Liang then sent Shi Hao's soldiers and Wu Quanquan's navy to help. Shixian divided his troops and defeated the disabled reinforcements. Seeing that the situation was over, the Yashan garrison broke out and escaped. Yashan was lost, and the Qing soldiers from Shihuang and Fangcun did not dare to fight anymore and retreated to Wanjun.
Shaoliang cut out the flesh to mend the sores, but the relief was not enough, so he consulted Hechun urgently: It is better to defend the key passes and all are adjacent to the thieves' nest. If you are close, you can whistle to Wuqingfantan, and if you are far away, you can cross the river to do nothing. At the same time, the defeated bandits in Lukou, Moling, and Lishui colluded with Jinzhuguan and Dongxiliangshan to rebel against the party. However, Qiantai Shutong was defeated one after another, and the Songyang reverse base and Tuqiao bandit camp were defeated by the officers and soldiers from the upper reaches. They fled to nowhere. Take Ning County as a ravine. It is almost midwinter now, but soldiers are only paid until July, and brave pay is only paid until early June. They are hungry and cold, and have no money to live. Even if they are extremely brave, it is difficult to exert their strength. If help does not arrive urgently and food and salary are not solved, it is better to guard against the overall situation and break up may be imminent.
When Hechun received his advice, he told Zhang Guoliang that: Dongba is to the southeast of Gaochun, and Shuiyang Town is to the southwest. This is the main road from Ningguo to Su Changzhi in the east. To the west of Shuiyang is Wuxi and to the west is Huangchi. To the southwest of Huangchi is Wanjun. Southeast of Wanzhu is Ningguo County. They are more than a hundred miles apart, surrounded by waterways and bays, and accessible by road. In winter, the water falls on the beach so high that you can walk there, making it extremely difficult to defend against. I immediately mobilized General Dai Wenying to lead 5,000 troops to aid Shaoliang. Deng, Zheng, and Dai joined hands and had more than 20,000 troops, enough to defeat the enemy.
Zhang Guoliang said: Li Shixian attacked from all sides, all to deceive others, and the main attack area was Wanjun camp; Zheng Kuishi was highly qualified and experienced, and it was difficult for Deng Shaoliang to dispatch him; Deng was trapped in the prison, which was dangerous. Zheng Kuishi is a person who cannot control himself unless he is a grown-up.
He Chundao: Deng Shaoliang is a warrior who has fought many battles and is resourceful; Dai Wenying is brave and good at fighting; if they work together, they can handle it. Hu Xingren, the governor of Zhejiang, came to consult and said that he had ordered guerrilla Feng Rikun to lead 3,000 troops to help, and that reinforcements would arrive soon.
Zhang Guoliang said: "Hu Nai is pretending to move, don't expect it." Hu announced a cessation of wages yesterday, but Deng's ministry has not revealed that the previous debts will eventually be lost, and the upcoming rations will also be hopeless. Soldiers tell each other about their bravery, and their morale has been stirred.
He Chunli shouted: Soldiers, it is a matter of life and death, how could Hu not know that! Chicken intestines! Save Shao Liang, then impeach Hu Si.
Li Shixian occupied the four camps of Gushanba, Yashan, Shihuang and Fangcun. After resting for a day, he suddenly divided his troops into Wuxi and attacked Dongyang from the east. Zheng Kuishi sent his deputy general Zhu Chengxian to Wuxi to prevent the blockage, and also ordered his deputy general Jiang Xiguang to garrison at Tumen, the official house, to secure the route from Gaochun to Dongba.
Dai Wenying led his army to Gaochun and invited Zheng Kuishi to divide his troops to support him.
Zheng Kuishi said: The thieves are attacking Dongyang and want to take the back of Jiangying. I have no time to take care of myself. If the thieves really attack Wanjun, I will rescue them. Dai Wenying sighed deeply, left 1,000 troops in Zhutang, took the Tongning County Pay Road, and led the main force to Wanjun.
When Zheng Kuishi stood still, Li Shixian was overjoyed and ordered to attack Zheng's army, move to occupy Panlongdian, and cut off the connection between Huangchi and Wanjun. Deng Shaoliang was trapped and still fighting, so he ordered Huangchi's general Xiao Zhiyin to divide his troops to fight back. Xiao Zhiyin received the order and personally led 800 soldiers bravely to attack Panlongdian for half a day but failed. Then he returned to the city to protect himself.
Li Shixian continued to use troops, and soldiers from Wuhu and Taiping came out in droves and camped for dozens of miles along Wuxi, Huangchi, and Fangcun, advancing step by step; The sergeants also came in droves.
Wanjun and Huangchi took over the battle. Shao Liang's troops were not enough, so he sent troops to Nanling for reinforcements, and ordered the guerrillas Zhongsun Mao and Ran Zhengxiang to change their teams to respond. He also ordered Fangshan and Hongyangshu Zhuangyong to retreat to Wanjun and resist stubbornly.
Li Shixian led the six-pronged army to attack Wanjun for five days, but failed, so he divided his troops to assist Huangchi. It was reported that Dai Wenying led 4,000 troops and arrived in a fierce manner. Li Shixian said: Put them into Wanjun and surround and annihilate them together.
When Dai Wenying's troops entered Wanjun, Shao Liang burst into tears. He held his hands and said, "Brother, Wanjun is saved."
Wenying was also sad and said, "Master Titai, with more than a thousand cold-blooded soldiers, against tens of thousands of fierce thieves, it's really hard!" Feng Rikun's three thousand men and horses are getting closer and closer. Zheng Kuishi's army may be able to come to the rescue. If our four armies use their lives, the rebels will be defeated.
Shao Liang said: Zheng cannot be expected, Zhejiang cannot be expected. Before the war came, the governor of Zhejiang suddenly cut off my salary, drained the firewood, and defeated the monsters with tens of thousands of soldiers. After half a month of fierce fighting, not a single soldier of Gao Chun was seen. Will my death be of any benefit to Zhejiang and Zhengzhou?
Wenying said: "Let me tell you, sir, if you destroy the evildoer, please ask the Holy Judge again!" Mr. Titai must again instruct Xiao Zhiyin to defend Huangchi. Huangchi is solid, and Wanjun is also secure. I will occupy the mountain in the north, and from a high position, I will bombard the rebels and capture Li Ni's dog's head. The war may turn around.
Dai Wenying used guns, artillery and arrows at the same time, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat dozens of times. He attacked for two consecutive days, resulting in more than a thousand casualties and little progress. Huangchi guard Xiao Zhiyin fought hard for half a month, but ran out of ammunition and food. When he could no longer supply it, he led his troops to escape.
Shixian immediately ordered to attack Huangchi's army. He divided his troops into two groups, attacking Zhutang along the way and cutting off Wanjun's supplies. He also dived and made a secret crossing all the way to Dai's camp, where he set fire to attack.
The camp caught fire, and Wenying rushed to save him, but was shot in the head randomly and his troops were scattered. Wanjun was surrounded on all sides, and Shao Liang had no hope. He bowed three times to the north, burned his camp in mourning, and led his troops to fight bloody battles to the death.
When Hu Xingren, the governor of Zhejiang, heard that Wanjun was lost, he urgently ordered Feng Rikun's troops to rush to Xuancheng to make repairs. He immediately said: Wanjun thieves counterattacked and occupied the east and north roads, forcing the city to build more fortifications. They also attacked Shuiyang and Xinhezhuang. , Youzhagou area, stacked pontoon bridges were built, and there was a belief that after bypassing Ningjun, they directly invaded Honglin Bridge and Jianping Bridge.
When Emperor Xianfeng heard about Shao Liang's death, he also shed tears and said Sushun said: Deng Qing regarded Ningguo as the border of Zhejiang and Jingxian County as the throat of southern Anhui. He raised troops to contain the attack. The stalemate lasted for two years, and the thieves could not fight to the death. How many good generals are there in the world? Unexpectedly, he died again. Why? Rebellious and fierce? He, Gui, Hu, and Zhang can't help each other?
Sushun said: During the handover of the three provinces of Ningjun, the powers of each party were inconsistent, which led to mutual blame, which was a waste.
Emperor Xianfeng sighed: Jiang Zhongyuan, Taqibu, Luo Zenan, Li Xubin, Deng Shaoliang, and Zeng Guohua all depended on their ability to bring peace to the country and their ability to rule the country. The survival of the Qing Dynasty all depended on them! Now they all pass away so quickly, my heart is broken!
Sushun quickly knelt down and said: "I, the slaves and other people of the Qing Dynasty, swear to be our emperor, and we will succeed you." Zheng Kuishi, every time he faced a big formation, he charged forward and refused to retreat even though he was wounded. Although he was unruly and unruly, he could still stand alone.
Emperor Xianfeng nodded and issued an order: Zheng Kuishi was promoted to be the admiral of Zhejiang and supervise the defense of Ning County. Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Anhui, and Zhengzhou must do their best to hold on to Ningguo and curb the spread of thieves. Those who are slack in disobeying orders or slacking off due to delay will be severely punished by the Ministry of Communications. Hubei and Anhui Kongji, Hu Qing and Lin Yi, terminated Ding You, temporarily seized the love, and went to Huangzhou to supervise the army. I will personally supervise and take care of all the unfinished matters of the Qing family. The former minister of the vassal state, Shi Nida, is located in the territory of Ruijin Mansion in southern Jiangxi. What has he done recently? Zeng Chen should also carefully grind the stone to counter the movement, and order the generals to supervise the troops to suppress them at the nearest location. Once successful, he will go to Anhui and Hubei to coordinate the overall situation. Zeng Chen can also tell me his thoughts on overall planning.
Deng Ying, the Taidao of Huining Chi, accepted the order and did not dare to neglect it. He immediately transferred Zhou Tianshou and Mi Xingchao to Ningguo for defense.
He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang, addressed General Jiangning and Chun: The thieves from Wanjun will be divided into three groups: one will attack Gaochun and Dongba, one will attack Jiangning Town and other places, and the other will attack Molingguan, Lishui County and other places. The people are very confused. At a time when the canal is in a hurry, if there is such a setback, it will be impossible to force the defeat.
Returning to the Spring Festival: Zheng Kuishi moved to defend Xuancheng, Zhou Tianpeichi went to Gaochun, I transferred Zhang Yuliang to reinforce Dongba, and Liu Jisan went to Lishui. To strengthen Su Chang's door.
