    The weather is not fair, just the day after Fatty Lu decided to pursue the Jieshu team, and it was also the day of the second year of the second year and the 17th day of March in the 14th year of Kang Mazi. Before dawn, the battle between Jiangpu and Chuzhou  It rained heavily at the border area, and it didn't clear until it was close to noon. Father-in-law Sun, who hadn't seen him for a long time, came out of the thick clouds and sprinkled the precious sunshine on the wet Jiangpu land stingily.

    "My God, are you finally willing to let the sun shine?" Fatty Lu, who had waited all morning for the sunshine that had finally come out of the clouds, began to curse at the sky for injustice. Why did he do this when he was about to attack?  Heavy rain, adding so much trouble to yourself?  While cursing, Fatty Lu quickly ordered the main force to pull out the camp and cross the river so that he could attack the Liutang Mountain camp where Jie Shu was entrenched.

    The order was conveyed, and the main force of the Fat Man Army stationed on the south bank of the Chushui River immediately mobilized. Those who set up their camps set up their camps, those who loaded grain, grass and ordnance into vehicles, those who carried artillery, and Wang Xu led an army to cross the river first.  Set up a guard on the north bank of Chushui to prevent the Qing cavalry from raiding the ferry.  While busy in an orderly manner, Line Fu, who was in charge of artillery, suddenly came to Fatty Lu, saluted and said: "General, the ground is muddy, and our army's heavy artillery cannot be carried."

    "How is it possible?" Fatty Lu froze, waved his hands and ordered: "Call more helpers, let Han Yuan Ren send 500 people to carry the artillery."

    "Back to the general, the last general has already borrowed 800 people from General Han Er, but the artillery says it can't be moved, but it can't be moved." Line Fu replied with a sad face.

    Fatty Lu was amazed when he heard the words, and hurriedly led Yao Qisheng, Zhu Fangdan and others to the artillery team behind to check the situation. Sure enough, at least 20 soldiers from the Fatty Army were pushing and pulling each of the Hongyi cannons, but these soldiers were shouting.  His voice was hoarse, and the Hongyi cannon, which weighed several thousand catties, was still crawling slowly like a snail. It hadn't gone ten feet away for a long time, but it exhausted the infantry of the fat army.  Fatty Lu knew something was wrong. When he jumped off his horse and wanted to go over to check, he found that his fat feet had just stepped on the ground, and the sticky soil had already flooded his insteps. It turned out that this area was basically farmland.  The soil in it is as sticky as paste.

    "Oops, I'm just as lucky as Napoleon." Fatty Lu cried bitterly, knowing that he would have encountered the same unlucky situation that Napoleon encountered in Waterloo that year. The heavy rain softened the soil and heavy artillery could not  Move, the proud shelling tactics can not be displayed.

    "General, don't let the soldiers waste their strength." Yao Qisheng suggested: "No matter how many people are on the ground, they can't move the heavy artillery. We can only wait for the sun to dry the ground. Otherwise, our Hongyi cannons will not be able to pass.  The range of the mother-and-child artillery is too short, and the Mangou camp on the top of Liutang Mountain cannot be shot at the foot of the mountain, and the infantry alone will attack with their backs, and I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties."

    "Then don't rush to cross the river, wait for the sun to bask the ground for a day." Fatty Lu ordered helplessly.

    Fatty Lu, Yao Qisheng and others have gone to Liutang Mountain to survey the terrain before, and found that Jie Shu had set up the Qing army camp on the top of Liutang Mountain with great cunning, overlooking the battlefield from a high position. There are many trees on the mountain and many streams below the mountain.  The pond is extremely unfavorable to the deployment of the Fatty Army's troops. At the same time, because of the reduced range of the Fatty Army's upward firing, the Fatty Army's light artillery can not hit the Qing Army's camp at the foot of the mountain. Only the Hongyi Cannon with a maximum range of ten miles can do it.  .  Now that the Hongyi cannons were unable to participate in the battle, it was a loss-making business to use infantry to attack the heavily guarded Qing army camp. Fatty Lu, who had always been careful about budgeting, naturally refused to do anything.

    At the same time, in the camp of Liutang Mountain, it was discovered that after the Fatty Army pulled out the camp, the Qing Army had already started to pull out the camp. Don¡¯t look at Jie Shu who hates Fatty Lu so much, but Jie Shu is also an instant kill in history.  With Geng Jingzhong's North Army, the real military ability is far higher than Mazi's cousin.  So after experiencing the power of the Fatty Army's artillery formation, Jie Shu immediately understood that the Liutangshan Camp was completely vulnerable to the Fatty Army's artillery formation.  , save the strength and go to Chuzhou Prefecture to compete with the Fatty Army. This can not only achieve the task of holding down the Fatty Army's direct corps as Yue Le explained, but also increase the odds of winning and reduce a lot of losses.

    To the great surprise of Jie Shu, Wang Zhiding and others, Tan Ma suddenly came to report again, saying that the main force of the Fatty Army had stopped crossing the river and chose to rest and wait in place.  Hearing this news, Jie Shu couldn't help being a little puzzled, and wondered what Wu Gou was up to. They defeated our army in Chushui yesterday, and their morale was high.  How could he make such a big mistake when he was more slippery than a loach on the battlefield?  Is this dog thief up to some tricks again?

    "I understand!" Wang Zhiding suddenly came to his senses, and shouted with a fist: "It must be because of the weather! Today?Rebel Sha Zhangbai, he went to Yangzhou to ask Gao Dejie for help on behalf of you, but was rejected by Gao Dejie, and when he returned to Gaoyou City to report to you, he was captured by our soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty!  Now, let him tell you, Gao Dejie, the dog thief, did he send you a reinforcement?  !  "

    After finishing speaking, Tuhai raised his good right leg, kicked Sha Zhangbai on the back, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Sha, it's up to you. After you persuade Gaoyou City to surrender, you will be the magistrate of Yangzhou. Thank you!"  Yin Wanliang, the beauties in Gaoyou City, you can choose as you like. If you dare to play tricks, hum."

    "Master Tu, please don't worry." Sha Zhangbai smiled slightly, raised his head, and shouted at the city wall: "Gaoyou's Great Zhou soldiers, Gaoyou's people, you are all optimistic, I am General Tian Dazhuang sent to Gaoyou  Sha Zhangbai, the general who won the victory, asked for help, Sha Zhangbai, the Tong Zhi of Yangzhou of the Great Zhou!"

    Under the hopeful and apprehensive gaze of the Qing army and Gaoyou soldiers and civilians, Sha Zhangbai, who was so weak that even a gust of wind could blow him down, suddenly raised his voice and shouted the strongest voice in his life, "Don't listen to the nonsense of dogs!  The reinforcements of General Gao Dejie are already on the way and will arrive soon! Hold on! Hold on!"

    "Reinforcements are coming!" Shocking cheers rang out from Gaoyou City, Tian Dazhuang suddenly opened his quietly closed eyes, and looked at Sha Zhangbai below in great surprise, just as Sha Zhangbai also raised his head to see Tian Dazhuang,  After a bright smile, Sha Zhangbai shouted again, "Soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Han people in Gaoyou, persevere! Persevere! Reinforcements are coming!"

    "Savage dog!" Tu Hai was so angry that he almost went crazy, he picked up the whip and whipped Sha Zhangbai's head and face. Sha Zhangbai didn't dodge or dodge, but kept shouting, "Soldiers! Han people! Persevere! Fight against the Qing Dynasty!"  Restoring Ming! Anti-Qing and restoring Ming¡ª¡ª!"

    "Chop off his hands and feet!" Tu Hai yelled crazily, and the soldiers of the Qing army next to him rushed up like wolves, grabbed Sha Zhangbai's hands and feet, and slashed at them with a knife, blood spattered all over the place.  , Sha Zhangbai laughed loudly and kept shouting, "Fight the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty! Reverse the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty! Reverse the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!"

    "Anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty! Anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty! Anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty!" Rhythmic shouts also sounded in Gaoyou City, which made hundreds of thousands of Qing troops cry out in despair.  Immediately afterwards, random arrows were fired on the city wall, and they fell on the heads of Tuhai's team overwhelmingly. While the soldiers wrapped Tuhai in their frantic escape, Sha Zhangbai, whose hands and feet had been cut off, was still dying in a pool of blood.  shouted, "Fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, against the Qing Dynasty"

    "Revenge for Master Sha! Revenge for Master Sha!" Amidst the sound of angry slogans and the sound of thunderous charge drums, the gate of Gaoyou City, which had been closed for a long time, suddenly opened, and there were only one hundred and ten fat cavalry in Gaoyou City  Charged out, holding the Dazhou flag high, without hesitation, rushed to the Qing army in the distance, rushed to the enemy team that was a thousand times larger than himself, slashed and slashed with a saber with red eyes, and slashed and killed the traitors and full-fledged dogs who were caught off guard.  And the treacherous infantry and cavalry soldiers, until they were completely submerged by the tide-like Qing army

    "A big road leads to my house. My family lives at the foot of Liang Mountain. There are five acres of fertile land at the foot of the mountain. Five acres of fertile land. Who will remember my appearance? Who will remember the injuries I have suffered?  ?"

    I don't know who took the lead in singing the military song of the Fatty Army, and more and more soldiers of the Fatty Army sang along, as did the common people in Gaoyou City.  The same Qing army galloped and charged, bravely killed the enemy, and sang in unison with tears in their eyes, "a big river runs through my house, there are wives and children, tiles, tiles, big chickens, fat geese, fat cows  Cattle and sheep are strong, grow beans and rice, rapeseed"

    "I cut off my eyes with a long sword, and I can't stop my homesickness! A big road leads to my house. My family lives at the foot of Liang Mountain. There are five acres of fertile land at the foot of the mountain, five acres of fertile land.  Rapeseed flowers"

    Over and over again, singing again and again, and when the whole city of Gaoyou echoed the neat and loud singing, more than a hundred fat army cavalry had been completely swallowed up by the Qing army.  The common people have completely lost sight of the warriors, only the fat army flag with black characters on a white background is still standing in the ocean-like Qing army, floating in the wind in the drizzle

    "God damn Wugou¡ª!" Hearing the neat and clear singing, and seeing the Dazhou flag that has always stood upright, Yue Le roared wildly and drew his knife to chop the handsome case in front of him into pieces.  Then he threw down the saber and sat back in the handsome chair, covered his face with his hands, and lamented in despair, "If the Han people in the world are like this, all of us will die without a burial place!"
