Nine battles in xiaoting ancient battlefield

"Xiaoting" is on the verge of the Yangtze River, holding Bachu's throat and controlling the gateway of Sichuan and Hubei. It is a famous "ancient general pass". She is located on the north bank of Xiakou, leading 3,000 Shu roads and locking the bureau of Jingxiang. From the pre-Qin dynasty to the Ming and Qing dynasties, history continued, and wars continued from generation to generation.

Xiaoting is a rare ancient battlefield in China. Famous battles, such as the burning of Yiling in the Qin Dynasty, the building of a pontoon bridge by Gongsun in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the burning of 700 Li in the Three Kingdoms, the cutting of Cisse by Wu in the Western Jin Dynasty, the cutting of Xiao in the Xiling, the crossing of the bridge by Liang Chen 'an and Shu, the smashing of the Chen army in the Sui Dynasty, the night attack in Tang Jun and the rebellion of the Qing army in Wu Sangui, all took place here, which interpreted a thrilling picture of ancient war. ..

1, Qinjiang Baiqi burned Yiling

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Xiaoting was an important place in Cisse, Chu, with a city. In the twenty-first year of King Xiang of Chu (278 BC), there was a great war in Xiaoting area: "General Qin burned Yiling for nothing". Why did Tian Lei burn Yiling? It has been a mystery for thousands of years. Now, by consulting a large number of historical documents, supplemented by the written records of the Baiqi Tomb and Baiqi Temple in Xianyang, we can get a glimpse: the ancestor of Baiqi was a noble of Chu, and Baiqi was also called "Gong Shengqi". Bai is the son of Chu Ping Wang Jian. King Chu Ping listened to the greedy words and wanted to kill Prince Jian. Prince Jian and his wife fled to Zheng. When Zheng was killed by a man named Zheng, Bai followed Wu Zixu to the State of Wu. In 487 BC, King Hui of Chu recalled Bai and named the city Bai. For the sake of my father, I wanted to attack Zheng, but I was blocked by traitors and unable to pay back. He secretly recruited soldiers and wanted to seize the imperial power. In the first 479 years, Bai took advantage of the attack of the State of Wu on Chu Shenyi, led an army to repel Wu Jun, led his troops into Ying on the grounds of offering prisoners, killed his ministers and robbed them, which was called "Bai Gong's rebellion" in history. The nobles of Chu came after them, and they won and lost, and fled to the mountains and hanged themselves. His son fled to the state of Qin and became a general of the state of Qin. He cut Chu, burned Yiling for nothing, and destroyed Chu ancestral hall. He avenged his ancestors for nothing, which is known in history as "burning Yiling in vain". Since then, Yiling has become famous all over the world.

2. Gongsun Shu Bridge in the Eastern Han Dynasty

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, politics became increasingly corrupt and society was in turmoil. The consort Wang Mang usurped power and established a "new" dynasty. Chinese of Nanyang ancestry proclaimed themselves emperor in Hebei, and still took Han as the title of the country, known as the Eastern Han Dynasty in history, and started the national reunification war for 12 years. Among them, the first Yangtze River Bridge appeared in the history of China. Who built this bridge and where was it built? What was it built for? This is indeed a problem worth studying. In the ninth year of Jianwu (AD 33), Gongsun Shu, the independent emperor, sent generals to Jiangguan to build a pontoon bridge across the Yangtze River between Jingmen and Huya. This is the famous "First Bridge on the Yangtze River" in history. In the 11th year of Jianwu, Cen Peng was defeated by Gongsun Shu of Han Dynasty, and his general Ren Man and others were beheaded. Gongsun Shu ended up with the event that "the pontoon bridge on the Cisse River was broken, and Gongsun thought it was important", which was called "Emperor Han Xian destroyed Gongsun" by the people. Cen Peng, head coach of the Han Dynasty, was born in Jiyang, Nanyang (now Xinye, Nanyang, Henan), a famous ZTE star in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the sixth "Twenty-eight General of Yuntai". Cen Peng was ordered to crusade against the local tyrant "Gongsun Shu". In 33 AD (the ninth year of Jianwu), Gongsun Shu sent a general to lead the army to the general officer (now fengjie county East, Sichuan Province), and defeated Yi Dao (now Yidu, Hubei Province) and Yiling (now southeast of Yichang, Hubei Province), occupying Jingmen and Huya (now two mountains across the river from Yichang, Hubei Province), which seriously threatened the new Eastern Han regime. Cen Peng, Wu Han, Zhu and Cen Peng recruited warriors in the army. Therefore, partial general Qilu should be called up. When the wind was crazy, Lu Qi led the warriors to sail against the current and rushed to the pontoon bridge. But the columns in the river blocked the warships and made it difficult to move forward. Lurgi commanded the sergeant to fight to the death while burning the column with torches. The wind filled the building with anger and the bridge building collapsed. Cen Peng launched the whole army, smooth and indomitable. The Shu soldiers were in chaos and drowned thousands of people. The Han army beheaded Ren Man, Ren Man escaped, and Tian Xu fled to Jiangzhou. "Peng Xian broke Jingmen, marched into Wuyang, held the army neatly, and made no mistake in autumn. Wang Guiren of Qionggu heard of Peng Weixin and sent an envoy to meet him thousands of miles away (Biography of Cen Peng in the Later Han Dynasty). The messenger has arrived, and Cen Peng is dead. Emperor Guangwu gave Gui Ren's gift to the imperial court to Cen Peng's family, Hou Qiao Zhuang, and his son Cenzunsi. Shu people took pity on him and built a temple for him in Wuyang. 18 years old sacrificed in the temple.

3. Battle of Xiaoting

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, from the late Zhang period, the Dou Fei family became more and more overbearing. In the last year, the flames of war were raging, and heroes from all walks of life rose up to compete for the world. Among the three major battles, the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Battle of Red Cliffs and the Battle of Xiaoting are the most famous, which have been passed down to this day. The battle of Xiaoting was decided by the three countries. After Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan in the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei was born in poverty, woven straw mats, became sworn in with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu Taoyuan, and even got the advice of Zhuge Liang, a military strategist, to seize Jingzhou, occupy Yizhou, unite with Wu to reject Wei and reorganize the Han Dynasty. Guan Yu, the sworn brother, was harmed by Lv Meng because he lost Jingzhou and defeated Maicheng. When Liu Bei learned that Guan Yu had been killed, he ignored the obstruction and tried his best to avenge him, so the "Battle of Xiaoting" broke out. In the first year of Zhangwu (AD 22 1 July), Liu Bei led hundreds of thousands of Shu and Han armies to attack Wu. At that time, the border between the two countries had moved westward to Wushan, and the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River became the main channel between the two countries. Liu Bei sent generals Wu Ban, Feng, and about 30,000 men (more than 30,000 men joined in the late Sha Dynasty) as the vanguard troops to seize Xiakou, occupy the territory of Wu, defeat Wu Jun's Li Yi and Liu Abe, and occupy Zigui (now Badong, Hubei). In order to prevent Cao Wei from taking the opportunity to attack, Liu Bei sent Huang Quan, the general of Zhenbei, to the north bank of the Yangtze River, and sent Ma Liang, the deputy commander, to Wuling, in order to win over the local tribal leader Shamok and the Shu-Han army. Facing the strategic attack of the Shu army, Sun Quan stepped forward. He appointed Lu Xun, the right-back army and the general of Zhenxi, as the viceroy, and unified the army to fight. After Lu Xun took office, through a careful analysis of the strength, morale and terrain conditions of both sides, he pointed out that Liu Beibing was strong, defensive, full of momentum and eager to win. Wu Jun should temporarily avoid the edge of the Shu army, wait for an opportunity to break the enemy, patiently persuade Wu Jun generals to give up the requirement of an immediate decisive battle, and resolutely implement a strategic retreat until they retreat to Yi Dao and Yi Dao. In the first month of AD 222, Wu Ban and Chen's water army entered Yiling area and stationed troops on both sides of the Yangtze River. In February, Liu Bei personally led the main force from Zigui to Xiaoting and established the base camp. At this time, the Shu army had penetrated into the territory of Wu for two or three hundred kilometers, and stopped eastward because of Wu Jun's resistance. In the case of Wu Jun's stubbornly refusing to play, the Shu army had to set up dozens of camps on the ground hundreds of miles from Wuxia and Jianping to Yiling. In June, in the hot summer season, the heat was pressing, and the soldiers of the Shu army were miserable. Liu Bei was helpless, so he had to transfer the navy ship to land, set up a military camp in the deep mountain forest, rely on the stream, station troops to rest, and prepare to wait until autumn to attack. Seeing that the morale of the Shu army was low, Lu Xun gave up the operational policy of advancing by land and attacking the Shu army, and thought that the time was ripe for a strategic counterattack. And found a way to break the enemy-burning the camp of the Shu army company. After the decisive battle began, Lu Xun ordered Wu Jun foot soldiers to raid the Shu army camp at night and set fire to the wind. During the dinner, the fire was fierce and the Shu army was in chaos. Lu Xun took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and forced the Shu army to retreat to the west. The Shu army was routed, most of the casualties fled, and military supplies such as cars and boats were lost. Liu Bei broke through at night and fled to Yong 'an City (also known as Baidi City, now Fengjie East, Sichuan). After Liu Bei fled to Bai Di City, he was ashamed of the fiasco in Xiao Ting in April of the following year and died in Bai Di City, thus ending the war in Xiao Ting. After Liu Bei's fiasco in Xiaoting, the treasury accumulated by the Shu army for many years was exhausted, and Wu suffered heavy losses due to the battle of Xiaoting. The two companies jointly repaired to prevent Wei from annexing the two countries. It can be said that after the Battle of Xiaoting, the territory of the Three Kingdoms was formed. In the same year (AD 222), Yiling was changed to Xiling County, also known as Yidu County.

The Western Jin Dynasty defeated Wu and Sisai.

At the end of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Yan, a powerful minister of Wei, replaced Wei's gift money, established the Western Jin Dynasty, and soon destroyed Shu. In November, it was decided to attack Wu, which was called "the Western Jin Dynasty attacked Wu and defeated Cisse". In November of the fifth year of Taishigong in the Western Jin Dynasty (the third year of Wu Tianji in 279 AD), Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, adopted the general planning of yang hu, a teacher, and attacked Wu in six ways, among which Wang Meng led his troops to conquer Wu Danyang (Zigui) and March into Xiling. At that time, Wu Jun secretly set a stake in a dangerous place in the river, crossed the river with an iron lock, and secretly set an iron cone more than ten feet long in the river to stop the Jin Haijun. Because Yang had captured Wu's spy before his death, the Jin army knew about it. Wang Zhuo ordered dozens of artificial rafts to be tied to the right people, and ordered those who are good at swimming to drive the raft first, pull up the iron cone and take it away. Wang Meng also ordered people to make a 10 foot torch, pour sesame oil on it, and put it in front of the boat. When the torch meets the iron lock, it will ignite and melt it instantly. So Jinshui Division was unimpeded all the way, and even Xiling, Jingmen (between Xiling and Post Road), Post Road (now Yidu, Hubei), Lexiang and other cities captured defenders from all over Wu Jun, which was unstoppable. 8 Jin Jun made a decisive decision and directed his troops at Jianye. Wu Jun was frightened and timid, and the foot soldiers fled when they heard the news, so the State of Wu declared its demise. During the Taikang period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 280-289), it was renamed Yiling County. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, another county was set up in the western boundary of Yiling (between Huangniuyan and Heiyan on the south bank of the Yangtze River), and it was named "Yichang", which meant that it was suitable for national prosperity to pray for the division of counties. The name "Yichang" began to appear in history.

5. Meng Fan Xiling beheaded Xiao Ji

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties (420-589 AD), Nanliang changed Yidu County to Yizhou, the Western Wei Dynasty to Tuozhou, and the following week to Zhou Xia. At this time, Yizhou, the secretariat of Xiao Ji, was king in Sichuan for seventeen years. There are Ningzhou in the south, Zi Ling and Tuguhun in the west. There are farmers and mulberry farmers inside and merchants outside, all of whom have money and equipment. We didn't send a single soldier to help while waiting for the chaotic scene. After his death, Liu's long history said to him, "Now that he is dead, the country can't live without a master for a day. Yizhou is thousands of miles away. Liu Bang, the former Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, founded the Han family on this base for 400 years, and the world was in chaos. Why doesn't Qiu claim to be the emperor and create the foundation of the eternal world with Sun? " Xiao Wenji said, regardless of Sima He's joining the army, he now calls himself the Emperor of Western Shu, and then directly cuts Xiling. In 552 AD, Xiao Ji ascended the throne in Chengdu, with the title Tianzheng. In May of the second year of his holiness (AD 553), Xiao Ji led the army to the east of Xiling. Mazhuang is fat and has strong military capabilities. Xiao Yi, Emperor of Liang Yuan, was too busy to send troops to Lufa, and refused to keep it. Rufa River built two cities at the mouth of Xiling Gorge, named Qisheng City, which blocked the river and broke the canyon, making it difficult for Xiao Ji's army to fly over for a while. Even so, seeing Xiao Ji attacking the city day by day, Lv Fahe was afraid that he would not be able to support himself, so he rushed to Xiao Yi, hoping to send reinforcements quickly. On the one hand, Xiao Yi wrote a letter to the Western Wei Dynasty, saying, "Yizhou secretariat Xiao Ji rebelled and had a son to correct his relatives, so please ask for forgiveness". On the other hand, he released Hou Jing as the general, made him' Wang Sima' in Jin, ordered him to ban 10,000 soldiers, assisted Rufa in guarding Xiling, and then used Xie Aren as the captain of infantry, assisted Rufa in guarding, etc. At the same time, he wrote a surrender letter to Xiao Ji, fell in love with a female compatriot, and advised him to return his troops to Shu. Xiao Ji's ghost lost his mind and refused to follow. It was just a storm of Du Fu's poems, full of hope, pointing to Jiangling and Jiankang, pacifying Jiangnan and owning the world. However, in the same room, the soldiers have no morale, and they have been defeated repeatedly, and there is no attack to defend, while the teacher is old and rich. I have to report that "the army of the Western Wei Dynasty stormed Chengdu day and night, and Chengdu was in danger! If the starry night doesn't help, the city will be in danger, "Xiao Jiwen said. He was flustered, so he listened to the Ministry and asked Shangshu to make peace with Jiangling happily. However, he was pleased to report to Xiao Yi: "The Shu army will run out of rations, and most soldiers will die in the battle. No discord is allowed, they will attack together. " Xiao Yi adopted this idea and caused an uproar in the army. Seeing that the tide was gone, Xiao Jibing plotted to slay Xia Kougong Xiao Yi, and the soldiers were surrounded by four roads. Liang's guerrilla general also defected and led his troops to be trapped in Xiling River. When Xiao Yi heard this, he ordered Xiao Ji to be killed. Meng Fan got the order and the supervisors rushed into the boat. The foot soldiers captured Xiao Ji and his son alive, killed them with a throat and spread their heads to Xiao Yi.

6. Beam-tree cable-stayed bridge

In the second year of Wucheng (AD 560), the emperors of the Northern Zhou Dynasty changed frequently, and Chen Nan and barbarians invaded frequently. When Emperor Xiao of Min, Zhao Tong became the secretariat of Shaanxi (it should be the secretariat of Xizhou, which is located in Yichang City, Hubei Province; Shaanxi is now in Sanmenxia City, Henan Province. It is obviously unreasonable to recover Xinling and Zigui counties based on this. In order to resist Chen Nan's invasion, Zhou Jun built a building base on the south bank of the Yangtze River in the northwest of Yidu, Hubei Province, which was called "Anshucheng" to garrison troops and threaten Chen Nan. Anshucheng and Xizhou face each other across the south of the Yangtze River. The rope is pulled across the river, and bamboo is paved into a bridge, which can transport rations from Xizhou to Anshu City. Zhao Tong, then the secretariat of Zhou Xia, was responsible for building the city. Unexpectedly, after decades of heavy rain, the newly built city wall collapsed by more than 100 steps. Zheng Nanxiang, the barbarian leader nearby, took the opportunity to rebel and contacted the general Wu Mingche to prepare to attack Anshucheng. People advised Zhao Tong to repair the city wall as soon as possible to guard against the enemy. Zhao Ba said, don't worry, I have my own way to retreat from the enemy and protect the city. He secretly sent someone to contact Xiang Wuyang, the leader of another barbarian tribe, to persuade him to take advantage of his weakness to attack Zhengnan Township. Following Zhao Tong's advice to Wuyang, he made a surprise attack and captured Zheng Nan's parents and wife alive. When Zhengnan Township heard the news, it was very alarmed, and the troops quickly retreated. Chen Jun had to stop attacking, and the siege of Anshucheng was thus solved. Subsequently, Zhao Tong led the army to fight with Wu Mingche 16 times and won the battle. Tan Dan, Wang Zuzi and Wu Lang were captured alive, and 160 people were killed. Because of his work, he was awarded the title of manager of Jingzhou.

7. Su Yang defeated Chen Jun in the Sui Dynasty.

Yang Ye, the consort of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, founded the Sui Dynasty, which lasted for eight years (AD 588). In order to unify the whole country, Emperor Yangdi Yang Ye sent a crusade against Chen. At this time, Su Yang's "War of Generals" broke out, and Xiaoting once again became one of the battlefields. At the beginning of December of Sui Dynasty, it was deployed according to the plan of Sui Dynasty against Chen. At first, he led his crew from Badong County to the Three Gorges and launched an offensive in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. When the army arrived at Liutou Beach (also known as Hutou Beach, now northwest of Yichang, Hubei Province), Chen Xin led more than 100 Qinglong warships with thousands of soldiers, and held fast to the Wolf Tail Beach ahead (now northwest of Yichang, Hubei Province, in the middle of the Yangtze River) to stop Sui Jun. He decided to adopt the strategy of land and water cooperation and converging attack, and lost by night, led thousands of Huanglong warships, and used the darkness of night to make soldiers enter and make a positive breakthrough. Get out of the way and attack the infantry from the south bank of the Yangtze River with the third division of Wang Chang; General Liu Ren 'en led his armor from Jiangling (now Hubei) to the west and attacked Chen Jun's Baisha (now Yichang East) along the north bank of the Yangtze River. Sui Jun went hand in hand with land, and at dawn the next day, he defeated Qi Ting and his men in one fell swoop. Su Yang led the water army to continue down the river, and at that time, "the ship was submerged by the river, which was a glorious day" (Biography of Sui Shu Su Yang). Su Yang sat on a big ship as an equal, commanding. Chen people looked at him in fear and said, "Duke Qinghe is also a river god" (Biography of Sui Shu). Chen Huiji's secretariat Chen Jingzhou sent Nankang Shilu Town to guard the pavilion (now the mouth of Xiling Gorge of the Yangtze River), cut holes in the rocks on both sides of the river and tied three iron cables on the river to deter warships. In order to stick to the canyon, he donated all his possessions to the army, so Chen Jun's fighting spirit was high and his defense was very strict. Chen cut off the nose of the deceased to take credit, which aroused the anger of the deceased and won many times in a desperate battle. Under the fierce attack, Lu was forced to abandon the camp gate and escape overnight. Su Yang ordered his soldiers to destroy the chains of Lanjiang River and continue down the river. After Sui Jun won the battle of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Su Yang led the main force along the Yangtze River to the east, and joined forces with Yang Jun, the king of Qin, in Hankou (at that time, Sui Jun, the downstream, had already fallen to Jiankang), and at the same time, he sent troops south to expand the results. In the third year of the Great Cause of Sui Dynasty (AD 607), Zhou Xia was changed to Yiling County, which was under the jurisdiction of Yiling, Yidao, Changyang and Yuan 'an, and Yiling County was the county, which was under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou Dudufu.

On the 8th, Tang Jun attacked Xiao at night.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Jiangling Xiao rebelled against the Sui Dynasty, calling himself King Liang, with Jiangling's 400,000 mercenaries as its capital. In the second year of Wude (AD 6 19), after Tang Gaozu Li Yuan destroyed the Sui Dynasty, he wanted to cut beams and unify the south of the Yangtze River. Xiao Xi preemptively sent general Chen Pu to lead the water army westward, hoping to meet Xiao Ge Ti, who was separated from Kaizhou (now Kaixian) in Sichuan, and seize Bashu. Gao Zuming (now Yichang) secretariat of Xu Shao. Xu Shao set an ambush in Xiling Gorge and sent his son Xu Zhiren to lead the troops around the enemy lines. Xiao Jun went to Xiakou, where he was attacked by both Scylla and Charybdis, and was defeated in World War I. Chen Puhuan was captured by Xu Zhiren, and all the warships were paid. Filial piety returns to the tiger's teeth, and Jingmen guards it.

In the third year of Wude (AD 620), Xu Shao was ordered to attack Liang again. Xu Shao ordered Xu Zhiren to lead the attack, and he sent troops to ambush Linjiangping. That night, Tang Jun attacked Huya with a small force and contacted the ambush with the signal of ignition. The two sides fought fiercely until dawn, Xiao Jun lost, and Tang Jun occupied Huya. In the fourth year of Wude (AD 62 1 year), Emperor Gaozu appointed Li and Li Jing as chief officers, and led more than 2,000 Bashu troops to arrive at Xiaoxian from Kuizhou along the river by warship. Li took Jingmen, invaded Liu Cheng, Liang Jiangzhou and Lei. Hyo-hyun sent another general Wen to resist and was also defeated. Li and Li Jing led the troops to Jiangling, captured Xiao Xian alive, sent him to the capital and beheaded him in Chang 'an. Since the midnight war in Tang Jun, Xiaoting has become a tourist attraction for several great poets in Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, chanted about Yiling and wrote a poem: "As long as the door is a guest, the moon is 30% chord; The north wind shakes down and it is sad. " The poet Du Fu's "Tiger Tooth Travel": "The autumn wind blows the south, and the world is miserable and colorless; Dongting Bo Yangjiang Hanhui, Huya copper column oblique; Wuxia yin censhuo desert gas, black peaks and valleys; Rhododendrons don't come to ape cold, and Shan Gui is forced by yin, snow and frost; Chu Lao Chang Ji Yan, three-foot angle bow, two welcoming forces; The wall stands in stone city, and the golden fault is full of clouds; Yuyang suddenly rides and hunts green hills, and the dog is locked in armor; Eight famine and ten years to prevent thieves: I begged my wife to cry, and I cried in a distant guest. Bai Juyi's Preface to Three Visits to the Cave, Ouyang Xiu's Seeing Longmen at Huyatan at the First Arrival, Yuan Zhen's Visiting Minister after Zhou Xia's departure, Chen Lian's departure from Sima Guang's, Mi Fei's departure to Zhou Xia, and Su Shi's "Jingmen Fu" all left historical marks in Xiaoting.

9. The Qing army counterattacked Wu Sangui.

In the Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1644-1840), it was called Xingshanpu, Drum Tower Back, Tiger Brain Back, Ancient Back, etc. , is under the jurisdiction of Yidu. At this time, the war broke out again, and Xiaoting once again became one of the decisive battle battlefields in "Kangxi pacified Wu Sangui". During the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1674), Wu Sangui, the king of the day, rebelled and led the troops of Yunnan Francisco from Yunnan to Hunan, reaching Yuanzhou (now in charge of Huaihua, Zhijiang and other places, and later abandoned), which shook far and near. On the eighth day of April of the same year, Wu Sangui sent Tao Jizhi and others to lead 300 sailors to invade Yiling from Yidu. Upon hearing this, the commander-in-chief of Hubei Province led two naval divisions to fight eastward before and after Yiling. The two sides fought on the Yangtze River, and the Yunnan Francisco army was defeated. The Qing army captured more than 60 enemy warships. This is the first time that Yunnan Fanjun used troops in Yiling. In May of the same year (1675), Wu Sangui reunited with Songzi, and the soldiers of Yuezhou were in close coordination, and they directly attacked Yiling and Jingzhou. Yunnan Fanzhen army invaded Yiling by land and water. Sailors marched forward by water, flowing endlessly, and occupied Xiaoziyan in Hexi. Every time they blow smoke, they shoot into the city. Lushi rushed to Lianying from Taoping, 2 miles away from Nanjinguan, to the northwest barrier town of the ancient city. At this time, Yang Laijia and Liu Zhijun of Fangxian county in northern Hubei also rebelled and led the troops to invade Yiling from Guizhou. They joined forces with the Yunnan vassal army and the Qing army to open up a battlefield in Taopingchong area. After several fierce battles, it was a tie. The two armies had to camp in the mountains separately. In hot summer, the army needs drinking water. Yang Jun had to send troops to carry water along the mountain stream. The mountain occupied by the Qing soldiers had a large pool with natural rain. Xu, the company commander of Yichang town, seized the favorable fighter plane lacking water and fighting capacity and launched an attack on Yang Jun. Lien Chan was unfavorable and retreated northward along the bottom. At the same time, the first division of Yunnan Fanjun also occupied the Xisaiba (now Xiba) and used the ancient city buildings to fight against the Qing soldiers. Yiling was in an emergency, and the company commander Xu insisted on resisting while writing to Governor Cai for help. Cai Deshu, the satrap, sent Jiang Ming and others to rescue him. There are dozens of guerrillas in Yiling Town, including the company battalion of Zheng Xuan and Li Maogong. They stand along Panshipu, Fengbaoshan, Longquan and Tianfengpu, and directly support each other during the flood season. In Guanyin Village, Luohanyu is also guarded separately. At this time, the Yunnan buffer region army had no choice but to attack Feng Baoshan from Guanzhuang and directly attack Yiling City. However, because the Qing army strengthened its defense in important passes such as Fengbaoshan, the strategy failed, and the ancient city Yiling was safe and sound. In the days when Chengwei Yiling was besieged by the Yunnan army, soldiers, officials and local officials in the city lived and died with the people. Ma Zhixun, a guerrilla in the town, led hundreds of old and weak officers and men. Every time they are bombarded by rebels, "all officers and men eat and then climb the wall" (Xuantong, the same below) refuses to keep it. Tian Enyuan of Yiling Prefecture tried his best to ensure the supply of Qing soldiers without suffering the people. In particular, Xu's wife, Xu, is now bravely climbing the city wall, "to comfort the soldiers, know their meaning, and take off their clothes to reward them." In a Thief Wants to Attack the City, he was unfortunately killed by the enemy's shelling. Her spirit of death has inspired many soldiers and civilians guarding the city. Because there are Qing soldiers guarding inside and outside Yiling city day and night. Yunnan vassal army is invulnerable. In the end, part of the Yunnan army retreated to Nanzhang, while the other part stole the mountain town and stuck to it. "Tucheng has more than a hundred hills, that is, the attack areas occupied by Yunnan soldiers" (Yichang County Records Draft of the Republic of China). In Songzi, Wu Sangui reported that the attack of Yunnan Fanjun on Yiling was frustrated, and personally led the troops to bid in Zhaojiaping, Hexi, trying to cross the river and invade Yiling. In Yiling town, the commander-in-chief won the battle, and Qiu Cai was ordered to lead the healthy soldiers to scout the truth along the east road. Unexpectedly, when the team arrived in Tani, they met some Yunnan vassal troops who crossed the river and landed. After fierce fighting, the Qing army killed more than 20 people in Yunnan. Li Kai and others were captured alive. The attempt of Yunnan Fanzhen army to cross the river to seize Yiling failed. The Qing court did not allow Wu Sangui rebels to attack the city in Hunan and Hubei. They are running here and there. When the war in Yiling eased slightly, in the autumn of the 14th year of Kangxi (1675), Ann Wang Qin was sent to Changsha to encircle the rebels. After Wu Sangui got the news, he rushed back from Songzi to help Changsha, and tried his best to send troops from Yiling and Nanzhang to jointly refuse to defend Changsha. However, Zhen Jing Mountain was stolen by the Yunnan army. In November, the Qing court ordered Mu Zhanjian, a general from the south, to choose Yiling, Jingzhou and Yuezhou Shima, and Yuezhou went to Changsha to meet Ann Wang Qin. He also told me that if Changsha is safe, we will either go out of Yiling or cross the river from Jingjiang, and go hand in hand in different ways to destroy the vassal armies in Yunnan. In the seventeenth year of Kangxi (1678), Wu Sangui proclaimed himself emperor in Hengzhou. In February of the following year (1679), the Yunnan vassal army, which had confronted the Qing army for six years in Zhenjingshan, finally retreated, and the ancient city Yiling was lifted. Wu Sangui's Yunnan Fan Army attacked Yiling, which was a military rebellion against the historical trend and brought great disaster to Yiling people. Later, due to the continuous reinforcement of the Qing army. Yichang, the isolated city, turned the corner, and Xiling Mountain and Zhen Jing recovered their former calm. However, even after several years, the shadow of Wu Sangui's Yunnan army attacking Yiling still lingers in people's minds. Yan Sijun, a poet in A Qing, wrote in his poem "Three Visits to the Cave in Xiling Mountain": "The past in Pingxi is a few winds and smoke, and the barren city overwhelmed Chu. Looking back, it's sad that the mountain is stolen. The clouds and fog have dispersed for a long time, and the stormy waves are still there. Looking up at the stage of Huanhou, there are always heroes standing upright. " Zhang (a martial artist in the forty-first year of Kangxi) also has such a poem in the poem "Revisiting the Town to Surround the Mountain": "There is still room for the river to flow because of the destruction of the base in Pingxi." The poem "Heaven in the West" refers to Wu Sangui, the king of heaven. This is a sigh when two poets swam three caves and the town was in the mountains. Although the ancient Xiaoting has been baptized by thousands of years of war, due to the good jurisdiction and protection of local governments in previous dynasties, an ancient plank road with a length of more than 1000 meters is still clearly preserved on the cliff of Huya Mountain, and there are more than 100 poems left by great poets in previous dynasties, such as Li Bai, Du Pu, Bai Juyi and Yang Jiong, looking for the ruins of Xiaoting ancient battlefield. Among them, Jingmen Mountain In the blink of an eye, the eternal ashes are gone. Today, under the leadership of the district committee and government, Xiaoting Ancient Battlefield Scenic Area was re-listed in the planning on July 20 12. July 20 13, Yichang huyatan tourist resort co., ltd. plans to spend huge sums of money to build an ancient battlefield, dig deep into the historical connotation of the ancient battlefield and reproduce the magnificent historical picture of the ancient battlefield.
