12. Danyang army rebels
The five cities built by Han Huan started from Luoxing Mountain and Siwang Mountain on the side of the river, then ran from north to south, running through the entire Shangyuan County, sandwiched between the Qinhuai River, Xuanwu Lake (Kunming Lake) and Jiangling Mountain (Zhongshan). They were connected by city corridors, with the purpose of controlling the waterway between the Yangtze River and the Qinhuai River.
Previously, when Li Qi was confronting Gao Yue, he sent his general Yao Zhian, led three thousand Hague troops to float on a large ship to the river to garrison the Five Stone Cities.
But now several cities have been blocked by the rebel Quarry Army. The Quarry Army itself has only more than 3,000 troops, which is not enough to form a siege. The "Chat Owl", "Salt Bandit", "Bai Tu" and "School Children" who came with Quarry Army have become more popular, with no less than 10,000 people, and more successors are coming from Danyang Lake on boats (Danyang Lake was a big lake in the Tang Dynasty. In the current Wuhu, Dangtu, Yixing, and Gaochun, later generations have surrounded the lake and built fields, but have disappeared, leaving only Shijiu Lake, Gucheng Lake and Nanyi Lake several small lakes). As for Jiangning, the people of Shangyuan and Lishui counties have also come to help, dig trenches and build fences, and surrounded Shitou City in an instant.
"Yao Zhian, have you seen it? What is the favorable and unfaithfulness of people? This is the favorable and unfaithfulness of people's hearts! Gao Wei Duke collected less taxes in Huainan, abolished the ban, painted land, and paid taxes, and everyone was happy; but Li Qi was in Xuanrun, doing things against him, levying heavy taxes, and his heart was disgusted. It should be inevitable. If you still want to help the evildoer, you will regret it when the city is broken." On the earthen mountain built in front of the Sanshan Gate, the quarry army envoy Wang Qiqiu shouted at the head of the stone city.
Yao Zhian on the city was restless and had no control.
After a while, he heard that Gao Yuefang had another army, light and powerful, and directly entered the Qingxi under Jiangling Mountain and cut off the connection between Xuanwu Lake and Shitou City. He was so shocked that he rushed to Quanzhou Mountain in the southeast corner of Xuanwu Lake. Looking at the movements of this army from afar.
I saw that the army had gunners first, holding spears, flat knives, and bolts of infantry, escorting baggage, pack horses, vehicles, light cannons, and armored cavalry as the back. A long snake, winding on the side of the Qingxi Curve, shaped like a wind, without any offense to the residences and residences on all sides, and heading straight to the commanding heights of Jiangling Mountain. Yao Zhian was frightened and told the military academies around him that this was really the Wuyi army of Gao Wei Duke. Wuyi army arrived. Why could Runshuai be defeated by the children of the four courtyards, and the soldiers in the six garrisons were unable to defeat them.
“So how do we do it?”
"Let's wait for a day or two before talking about it..." Yao Zhian decided to stand on the wall a little.
In fact, at this moment, Li Qi's army had already followed the road west of Jingkou to the foot of Baohua Mountain. Further ahead was Mufu Mountain and Luoxing Mountain in Jinling. At this moment, the Danyang army's troops Bai Liangqi asked the scout to report to Li Qi: "Gao Yue's army crossed out of Jiangling Mountain, entered Guilin Garden south of Xingshan, cut off the road to our army's entry into Shitou City. Please issue an order to fight. Our Danyang army will protect the morale of the entire army!"
When Li Qi heard that the Danyang Army was guarding and guarding something, he hated him very much. He believed that he could not do anything but Bai Liangqi, but he could not do anything. He asked the scout: How many troops are there in the Wuyi Army standing in the Guilin Garden?
"About two thousand, starting from Guilin Garden, facing west to the Xuanwu Lake Lake Weir, setting up several formations; it seems that there are also flags and ambushing troops on Jiangling Mountain."
For a moment, Li Qi didn't know how to fight, so he had to call his confidant Li Jun and Xue Jie, and they all hid on Jintu to study, "From now on the road to Shitou City, you must pass Luoxing Mountain and Guilin Garden in Jiangshan."
"So what if the road is not fighting with Gao Yue's troops according to the previous plan, and only in deep ditches and high acres opposite Guilin Garden?"
It turned out that Li Qi was praised by a group of literary courage. Why "Xie Dongshan's rebirth" was really about to come to the battlefield. Seeing the hideous scene of the mountain peaks standing, the ditches and the guns and spears like forests, I began to hesitate again.
"However, the Danyang Army has quite suspicious movements. It is too dangerous to let them cover our flanks..." Xue Jie was worried.
Li Qi was helpless about this and sighed and said that he had brought it out. After staying at Dantu Jingkou, he was not at ease. He could only hold a cypress and rushed into Guilin Garden with the opportunity.
At midnight, Li Qihe's command took off and looked at the camp of Gao Yue and Wuyi's army from Jianglingshan to Guilinyuan.
The field fortifications of the Wuyi Army were not only fast, but also well: after all, the former was Dingwu Army. The elite soldiers of the Yining Army first dug trenches on the slope, built earth walls, cut wood and set up fences, and then built four cannon positions with earth and rocks and bamboo baskets. Two medium-sized long-barrel copper cannons on the left and right wings. The muzzles faintly emitted beautiful light in the winter sunlight. Then one-third of the infantry held spears and occupied the ridge line, and the others set up camps on the back slope, while the three hundred divine thunder gunmen stood in the center of the formation and stood in an interlaced chessboard formation to ensure the space for firing the burning medicine. Each person held a short bore, which could be inserted into the ground and fired guns, and controlled the shooting space within a hundred steps down.
As for Jiang Lingshan, Li Qi clearly noticed that there was also a fortress of the Wuyi Army, but it was very quiet and terrifyingly silent. Li Qi, who was unwilling to accept it, asked several aides to read the letter loudly towards the Wuyi Army's wild camp, saying that the emperor in the court had ruled to dismiss Gao Yue's Huainan Jiedushi, and you don't have to follow him. You can put down your weapons and surrender. Those who do not want to be soldiers can return to their hometowns.
But Wu Yi's army didn't even express "sneering" and was still very silent. Only the sound of various battle flags blew in the wind.
Although Li Qi has no practical experience, he can feel a sharp murderous aura. The murderous aura that can kill all the plants and trees in an instant rolled up from the hills at the foot of the mountain and was rushing towards him!
At this time, Ming Huaiyi and Guo Zaizhen on the mountain were also condescending, watching the formation of Zhenhai Army.
"Duke Wei is right. After Duke Jin of Han died, Zhenhai Army really has no power. Look at Li Qi's formation, it's like a joke."
"That's easy to deal with. As long as you shake the red flag on the mountain, I will lead the iron cavalry to rush out under the lake dam to capture and kill Li Qi!"
"Yes, when Li Qi's camp is in chaos, he will attack. As long as Li Qi is defeated, Shitou City will naturally go down without fighting."
However, what Guo Zaizhen and Ming Huaiyi did not expect was that Li Qi's army collapsed faster than they expected.
After nightfall, Li Qi sat in the camp, feeling unstable.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves outside the tent rang out. Li Qi stood up with a daze. Several scouts turned over and dismounted, saying to him that something was wrong:
After the left Sima Wang Wei marched, he crossed the city wall and fled after leaving Jingkou under the festival;
Wei Xiaqing, the governor of Changzhou, and Li Shiju, the governor of Suzhou, suddenly summoned the children of the village and the united children, imprisoned the city gates and launched a rebellion against the rituals;
The governor of Yuezhou, Li Ruochu, and Li Shangrong, the commander of the Yisheng Army, also took the opportunity to raise an army and cross Taihu Lake to meet with the traitors, claiming to be "the envoy from the east" and making a move to attack our Dantu Jingkou.
"What, I should have asked the generals under my command to take the sword and kill these bastards in turn!" Li Qi was out of reach for regret, and the fire in his backyard had spread rapidly.
