Yangjia Drumbeats 杨家鼓乐 Yáng jiā gǔyuè

 In 1130, Jin Wushu led his army to invade the south and then retreated northward, where they were blocked by Han Shizhong's navy on the Yangtze River. Liang Hongyu personally boarded the warship, *beating drums to cheer* and commanding the Song army to fight. Her drumbeats boosted morale, and the Song army defeated the larger Jin army with a smaller force, besieging the Jin army in Huangtian Dang (near present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu) for 48 days.  


Although Jin Wushu eventually broke through and escaped, this battle dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Jin army and greatly inspired the fighting spirit of the Southern Song army and people. Liang Hongyu's heroic performance made her a rare female military commander in ancient Chinese war history.


1130年,金兀术率军南侵后北退,在长江上被韩世忠的水师阻击。梁红玉亲自登舰,击鼓助威,指挥宋军奋勇作战。她的战鼓鼓舞了士气,宋军最终以少胜多,将金军围困于黄天荡(今江苏南京附近)四十八天。1130 Nián, jīn wù shù lǜ jūn nánqīn hòu běi tuì, zài chángjiāng shàng bèi hánshìzhōng de shuǐ shī zǔjí. Liánghóngyù qīnzì dēng jiàn, jī gǔ zhùwēi, zhǐhuī sòng jūn fènyǒng zuòzhàn. Tā de zhàngǔ gǔwǔle shìqì, sòng jūn zuìzhōng yǐ shǎo shèng duō, jiāng jīn jūn wéikùn yú huángtiāndàng (jīn jiāngsū nánjīng fùjìn) sìshíbā tiān.


虽然金兀术最终突围逃脱,但此战沉重打击了金军的嚣张气焰,极大地鼓舞了南宋军民的斗志。梁红玉的英勇表现,使她成为中国古代战争史上罕见的女性军事统帅。Suīrán jīn wù shù zuìzhōng túwéi táotuō, dàn cǐ zhàn chénzhòng dǎjíle jīn jūn de xiāozhāng qìyàn, jí dàdì gǔwǔle nánsòng jūnmín de dòuzhì. Liánghóngyù de yīngyǒng biǎoxiàn, shǐ tā chéngwéi zhōngguó gǔdài zhànzhēng shǐshàng hǎnjiàn de nǚxìng jūnshì tǒngshuài.
