Chapter 154: Fighting the Wild Boar Gorge

Shi Hai was even more angry than Gao Changhe, and he worked hard for most of the day, seeing that the credit was about to arrive, but he was counterattacked by a wave of people, and his head was broken and bleeding.

But as long as the high chief of Ganquan City can watch the officers and soldiers outside the city, this situation will not occur. Shi Hai raised his hand and slapped it on the small tree next to him, and with a click, the small tree broke off in response.

"Damn, I don't think this high tile back has any brains at all, and the brains of a lifetime have grown to the hunchback behind me."

"Okay, don't complain, hurry up and send someone to deliver the message, and talk to Leader Wu in addition. If Gao Wa's back was still shrunk in Ganquan and his head was not exposed, the battle of Wild Boar Gorge would not be able to be fought. ”

In the area of Wild Boar Gorge, due to the addition of Liu Yingyu's department, the peasant army of Wu Zicai and Shi Hai has been suppressed, but fortunately, the combat effectiveness of the men and horses under Wu Zicai's command is quite passable, and it is a miracle that it has not collapsed until now. The officers and soldiers fought more and more fiercely, and Wu Zicai was so anxious that he was angry, and sent several letters to Ganquan, urging Gao Changhe to go out of the city to help.

In Yan'an City, after knowing the situation in Wild Boar Gorge, Wu Yan scolded his mother angrily, "This high tile back, is it too cautious?" Most of Liu Yingyu's subordinates are old soldiers, and they are not the elite of the border army, and they are afraid of a bird on their backs? ”

Wu Yangui only cared about getting angry, but he forgot that he let Gao Changhe go to Ganquan in the first place, because this person is cautious and not easy to make mistakes. It's good now, but I blame Gao Changhe.

A letter was sent to Ganquan quickly, with Wu Yangui's strict order, how could Gao Changhe not go out of the city? In desperation, he had to gather troops and horses to go out of the city to support Wild Boar Gorge.

The peasant army defending Ganquan abandoned the city, and the team slaughtered towards the Wild Boar Gorge. Gao Changhe's originally burly figure looked a little short due to his hunchback, and his whole face was tense, gloomy and terrifying.

Qi Xiaoliu, the night Qilang next to him, couldn't help but complain, "Brother Gao, it's good for us to guard Ganquan, I really don't know what Leader Wu thinks!" We still have food in the city, and even if there is no food, won't there still be those red meats? If the officers and soldiers want the Wild Boar Gorge, let them occupy it, and they still don't believe it, and the officers and soldiers can still stay in the Wild Boar Gorge for half a year? ”

Although Qi Xiaoliu's words were vulgar, they still made a lot of sense. At least in Gao Changhe's view, Ganquan is as stable as Mount Tai, and there is no need for food and grass supplies, nor does it need reinforcements. It was meaningless for the officers and soldiers to occupy the Wild Boar Gorge, so the Wu leader was blindly worried, and he was sending reinforcements and grain and grass, which was the way of the officers and soldiers.

What's worse now, Leader Wu didn't reflect on what he was wrong, and because he couldn't hold it on his face, he sent troops to fight the Wild Boar Gorge.

"Hey, don't say it, just do what you're told. Haven't you felt that Leader Wu has changed a little recently? Since he laid down Yan'an Mansion and went to the county government to become a deputy official, his morale has also increased, and he has begun to care about face. ”

To be face-saving, it's a good thing for ordinary people, but it's not a good thing for people like you. It's a rebellion, what kind of face do you want?

He had some opinions about Wu Yangui in his heart, but Gao Changhe didn't dare to say anything.

Ganquan was only half a day's journey away from the Wild Boar Gorge, and soon, Gao Changhe's soldiers and horses came into contact with Liu Yingyu's peripheral soldiers and horses. To be precise, the officers and soldiers under Liu Yingyu's command had already set up a position on the west side of the Wild Boar Gorge, waiting for Gao Changhe to come to the door.

Gao Changhe led his troops to arrive, and Wu Zicai and Shi Hai also cooperated to launch a counteroffensive against the officers and soldiers on the Wild Boar Gorge.

To the west of the Wild Boar Gorge, officers and soldiers and peasant troops set up positions, and the battle was about to break out. The formation of officers and men was quite tight, and there were heavy shields in front, so it was impossible to see the situation behind the shield wall at all. The peasant army is shabby, poorly dressed, and has a variety of weapons in hand, but the peasant army has one advantage, that is, there are many people. More than 20,000 people under pressure put on a formation, which was also amazing.

Looking at the tight military formation opposite, Gao Changhe felt a strong murderous aura. At this time, I already felt that something was wrong, but the arrow had to be sent on the string, and if I delayed it any longer at this time, Leader Wu and Wu Zicai would go crazy.

With an order, Ye Qilang Qi Xiaoliu took the lead and led his troops to press up. There were more than 7,000 soldiers and horses in the vanguard, and the pressure was like a tide, and the momentum was amazing.

The formation of officers and soldiers was still as steady as a rock, without a trace of movement, the two sides were getting closer and closer, and when they approached the distance of 50 zhang, there were bursts of strange noises in the military formation.

"Bang bang bang..... Bang bang bang bang ....."

The familiar sound of gunfire rang out, like a beast of prey, reaping the lives of many people. Many fell on the way, and some were not mortally wounded, but fell to the ground wailing. The heart-rending screams raised a wave of panic, and the morale of the peasant army in the charge was dealt a heavy blow.

Qi Xiaoliu didn't take it too seriously, it wasn't that he hadn't touched the firearms of officers and soldiers before, and often the firecrackers would be dumb for a while, as long as they rushed to the front of the battle, these firecrackers would only cry for their fathers and mothers.

"Brothers, rush forward..... Kill all these lackeys of the court..... Kill it....."

Qi Xiaoliu led by example, and the peasant army once again broke out with a burst of blood, they quickened their pace, and the momentum of the charge became more and more fierce.

"Bang ....."

The gunfire continued, and it did not stop as Qi Xiaoliu expected. More and more people fell, and when they rushed to a distance of ten feet, they could already see the scene behind the shield wall.

Guns poked out of the cracks, and there were sharp blades on the barrels.

By this time, Qi Xiaoliu knew that the situation was wrong, no matter how reckless he was. Dense muskets, tall shields, this has become the symbol of the living Hades.

No, this is not Liu Yingyu's guards, this is the elite of Zhang Bei's border army. Qi Xiaoliu stopped, looked back, and his heart almost jumped out.

In less than half an hour, the brothers who had been following him fell one by one, and there were only a dozen people at this time. Qi Xiaoliu's eyes turned red in an instant, and tears rolled in his eyes. Before they got in touch with the officers and soldiers, the brothers went to seven or eight, how to fight this battle?

"Quick..... Evacuate ..... Tell Brother Gao that we are not Liu Yingyu's old soldier of the guard, but the border army of the Three Towns..... It is the elite ..... of the imperial court."

"Bang ....."

A gunshot rang out, and a bullet pierced the sky, leaving a bloody hole in Qi Xiaoliu's head. Qi Xiaoliu opened his mouth and fell to the ground softly.

Qi Xiaoliu was shot dead by someone, as if a boulder was thrown in the hearts of the peasant army, and the heart was shattered. The morale that was still strong before is also showing signs of collapse. The people who charged also became different, some wanted to move forward desperately, and some wanted to run for their lives, and for a while, the two forces formed a hedge, and the scene became chaotic.

"Huh.... Ooh..... ....."

With the metallic sound of striking shields, the officers and soldiers let out a loud roar, and the military formation began to push forward. As the formation moved forward, the shields parted, and groups of musketeers began to press forward in a neat formation, reloading and firing as they went. The front of the musket array was pressed very slowly, but the dense network of fire was overwhelming, completely crushing the chaotic party that was still insisting on rushing forward.

Escape!

Now the peasant army was in a state of panic, and there was only one thought left, which was to escape from the area of the fire as soon as possible. Unfortunately, it was destined to be in vain, and at this time a group of soldiers and horses were separated from the rear of the musketeers, who were dressed in the clothes of the guards, but carried all the broadswords in their hands, and ran even more vigorously.

The broadsword team, a well-known elite soldier under the command of Datong Mansion, once confronted the Warat cavalry, and was not weak.

The moment he saw the big knife team, Gao Changhe let out a sad cry and fell directly off the horse. At this time, if you still can't figure it out, then you will be a fool.

What attacked the Wild Boar Gorge, what approached Ansai City, all were false moves, and the real purpose of the officers and soldiers was to lure him out, defeat him in a battle, and then take Ganquan City. In order to achieve the goal, the officers and soldiers really took great pains, and unknowingly let the elite of the three towns and some of the soldiers and horses of Liu Yingyu complete the redress.

The elite of the three towns has been wearing the clothes of the guards, hiding in Liu Yingyu's brigade, and waited until he went out of the city to fight a decisive battle, and then showed his true colors.

It's over, it's completely over, the eight formations of the Iron King of the Living Yama plus the big sword team of Datong Mansion, how can this battle be fought?

In just a moment, Liu Yingyu began to launch a fierce attack with men and horses, and the peasant army was powerless to resist and had completely collapsed. The original retreat turned into a rout, and the direction in which many people fled was not Ganquan City at all.

This is how it is to fight a war, it is not simply a matter of comparing troops. The peasant army had the advantage in strength, but because of the ineffective attack, it was counterattacked by the officers and men, and the morale collapsed immediately after the personnel were too bad.

The defeat has been decided, Gao Changhe has no other ideas, at this time, how can he take care of Wu Zicai and Shi Hai in the Wild Boar Gorge, each fleeing his own way, whether he can live or not, depends on the creation.

Gao Changhe was also smart and did not flee in the direction of Ganquan City. The officers and soldiers took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and the target was directly aimed at Ganquan City, and at this time they fled to Ganquan City, isn't that self-defeating? Under the impact of the rout, the officers and soldiers covered up and killed, and Ganquan could not be defended at all.

Gao Changhe rode a horse and fled to the northwest with a few cronies, but unfortunately, even so, he was still targeted.

I can't blame anyone else, I can only blame Gao Changhe for being too conspicuous. Among the tens of thousands of peasant troops, those who are qualified to ride horses and still have a hunchback are Gao Changhe, which is really easy to recognize.

"High tile back..... Hugh away..... Grandpa Zhou is here ......"

Behind him was a young general, the war horse galloped, and the spear in his hand was like electricity. Seeing that he was about to be caught up, Gao Changhe let out a sad cry, and threw the long knife in his hand back, wanting to kill the young general.

Although Zhou Dingshan is young, he has experienced countless battles over the years, and he is no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the year. As soon as he saw Gao Changhe dragging the knife upside down, he was more careful.

The big knife was thrown over, Zhou Dingshan dodged to the side against the horse's back, and the iron spear stabbed up from below like a ghost, and a shot stabbed Gao Changhe's waist.

"Tall Wabei, you....."

"Ah.....h

Gao Changhe screamed and rolled off the horse. Several cronies were dumbfounded, never dreaming that this young player could hide behind the horse and play the gun so fiercely.

One shot flew Gao Changhe, and the soldiers behind him followed, and soon slaughtered Gao Changhe's cronies.

.......

Wild Boar Gorge, since the dense gunfire sounded in the distance, Wu Zicai and Shi Hai sensed that something was wrong. In fact, before Gao Changhe's troops could flee, Wu Zicai and Shi Chai had already led the remnants of the army to retreat to the north.

That is, Gao Changhe doesn't know the situation, if he knew that he was sold by Wu Zicai and Shi Hai, he would jump out of the coffin to take revenge even if he died.

If Wu Zicai and Shi Hai had tried their best to hold Liu Yingyu back, Gao Changhe would not have been defeated so badly. It's a pity that Gao Changhe has become a prisoner, and his life is in danger now.

Wu Zicai and Shi Chai decisively sold Gao Changhe, but they didn't feel much better, and after they withdrew, they ordered the soldiers and horses, and lost seventy-seven eighty-eight.

In the middle of April of the second year of Chongzhen, the elite of the three towns and Liu Yingyu's troops joined forces and launched a big battle with the peasant army outside Ganquan City, and the officers and soldiers of this battle won a complete victory. Under the First World War, nearly 30,000 people were killed and wounded by the rebel party, and the leaders of the rebel party, Wabei Wang Gao Changhe, and Yeqilang Qi Xiaoliu were killed, and Ganquan also fell into the hands of officers and soldiers.

Since February of the second year of Chongzhen, there has been almost no good news in Shaanxi, and this great victory not only boosted the morale of the soldiers and horses, but also relieved Emperor Chongzhen and the imperial court.

The battle outside Ganquan City can be said to have completely reversed the situation in northern Shaanxi. The officers and soldiers were no longer as passive as before, and the officers and soldiers occupied Mizhi and Ganquan, sandwiching Ansai and Yan'an Mansion in the middle. As long as the officers and soldiers are willing, they can attack Yan'an City at any time, and there is a wolf lying next to the couch, and Wu Yangui can't sleep well.

In fact, at this time, if Wu Yangui was shrewd and decisive enough, he would directly give up Yan'an Mansion, lead his troops south, make a detour to Xianyang, and join Wang Jiayin's soldiers and horses in Xi'an Mansion. In this case, no matter how powerful Tiemo, Cao Wenzhao and others are, they can't do anything about Wu Yangui.

Although the peasant army was defeated, the main force under Wu Yangui still exceeded 70,000, and the imperial court soldiers and horses could only block the east and north, and it was wishful thinking to encircle Wu Yangui. In short, if Wu Yangui wants to evacuate, he will definitely be able to evacuate safely.

It's a pity that since occupying Yan'an Mansion, Wu Yangui's mentality has changed. After enjoying his peace, he no longer wanted to wander around like he used to.

Since the defeat, Wu Yangui ordered the troops to shrink to Ansai and Yan'an Mansion, and planned intensively, bent on fighting a decisive battle with the officers and soldiers, and decided the ownership of Yan'an Mansion and northern Shaanxi in the first war.

Wu Yangui's recent actions are so that everyone can see what he wants to do.

Cao Wenzhao looked at the military newspaper in his hand and said with a wry smile: "Wu Yangui, this guy, this guy wants to fight with us." Hey, if I were him, I would quickly withdraw from Yan'an Mansion with people and follow Wang Jiayin to fight Xi'an Mansion. ”

Tiemo didn't quite approve of Wu Yangui's approach, but he could understand it in his heart. After occupying Yan'an Mansion and enjoying the benefits of having a territory, how could Wu Yangui be able to let go of the territory in his hands? In short, whoever moves Yan'an Mansion, Wu Yangui will fight with whom, and he has already regarded Yan'an Mansion as his own territory.

In fact, Tiemo is the same, if someone moves Zhang Beicheng, he will also fight with others.
