Chapter 901: Monkey Urgency

Dolgon can keep an eye on it as much as he wants, and it's his own business that Liu Wenxiu can't show it. Liu Tichun, who was besieged under Taiyuan City, also looked forward to him coming, but Liu Wenxiu didn't plan to go out for a walk at all, and lived in Pingyang Mansion City all day long, no matter how Dolgon and Liu Tichun were indifferent to him.

But after all, he is the commander-in-chief of the front army, and he is pressing Liu Tichun at the first level. Although they are all surnamed Liu, the surname Liu of the family also has a title of prince in front of them.

Liu Tichun is not only under the control of others, but his title is only an earl, and there is still a difference between the prince and the waiter. Liu Tichun held Liu Wenxiu's flying pigeon biography in his hand, and there were a few words on it: "Try your best to control losses, stick to it or act cheaply."

'Come and help, I didn't say a word. Liu Tichun was so angry, he scolded in his heart: "Can I hold on to it?" Did I run away cheaply? How can these two things contain the loss? They are cavalry, we are infantry, and we are all light infantry with only clothes and no armor. Wu Sangui's Guanning heavy cavalry killed us, isn't it like killing chickens? Just with a few wooden fences around it, you can turn an army of 80,000 into kings? This year, Wang Ba can still stew that! I said that when he first attacked Taiyuan, why did he Liu Wenxiu let me build a fortress first, it turned out that he asked me to dig a good grave for myself here first, and finally bury myself here. Okay, now there is no other choice, after eating this food for nearly half a month, let's go to another world. But even if we dig a grave, we have to dig a bigger one, and we have to keep digging. Thinking about it, Liu Tichun suddenly shouted anxiously, and the people below hurriedly continued to dig.

Wu Sangui originally planned to trap Liu Tichun here, and when the food ran out, they would crawl out of the hiding jar themselves.

But which tendon is wrong with this regent? Ordering the annihilation of this Ming army, and not delaying the fighters, attacking the camp defended by tens of thousands of Ming troops will cost the lives of many brothers.

Counting on borrowing dozens of cannons from the city of Taiyuan, which is still gratifying, to set off a few shots, I found that there were many cannons in the Ming army camp.

Shang Kexi didn't have many cannons, but Shang Kexi still looked at his colleague's face and lent Wu Sangui 20 cannons, but when he used it, he still found that it couldn't suppress the Ming army at all, and it was nonsense to want to rely on artillery to blow up the enemy camp.

This Liu Tichun asked people to carry cannons to find Wu Sangui to shoot at him every day. In the end, Wu Sangui even ran out of artillery and had to find Shang Kexi to borrow it, but King Zhishun said that this is not true, and the artillery can no longer be used, so return it.

On this day, Lao Wu entered Taiyuan City in the name of returning the artillery, and discussed with Lao Shang about joining forces to attack the Ming army outside the city.

After going for a long time, he didn't even mix up the food, and Shang Kexi just smiled and invited him to eat a spit star, and told him: "I still have more than 20,000 people who just made it up, and then defend Taiyuan after they run out?" In the future, if I don't have military merits, won't I have to drink the northwest wind? After the defeat of the Xiangjiang River and the escape with my troops, I was fined by the regent for three years, and I have not received my salary so far. In case I lose all my money, I will have no money and no soldiers. Besides, with the current situation of our Qing Dynasty, if all my people are gone, do you think the regent will give me more numbers? For the sake of your brother's face, you die. Wu Sangui hesitated around Liu Tichun for ten days, and was urged by Dolgon twice, and finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and was ready to fight with Liu Tichun.

In fact, he didn't know that if he waited for five days, he wouldn't have to work hard, Liu Tichun would be hungry in another five days.

The big wolf and the little wolf were blocked by Wu Sangui, but the regent had to let him go inside and dig it out.

The Guan Ning army had already tried to attack the Ming army camp several times, but in the face of the Ming army with teeth in the nest, Wu Sangui still didn't dare to be ruthless.

After attacking for three days without progress, Liu Tichun came to six night attacks, three night attacks in the first night, two night attacks in the second night, and one night in the third night, and in the second half of the night, Liu Tichun ran away with the Ming army, and there were only two days of food left in the camp so that he could no longer hold on.

But Dolgon's order was not to delay the fighter, and Wu Sangui, who was killed by this order, chased it for half the night and another morning.

Many Ming troops were killed and wounded on the way, and finally caught up with Liu Tichun's main force twenty miles away from Fenzhou.

The two sides were on the shore of this Fenshui, chasing and fighting, of course, half of Liu Tichun's army could only stumble and cut a few legs on the Guan Ning army.

In the field, the main types of troops that can inflict direct casualties on the Guanning cavalry are archers and armor-piercing spear formations (the Green Camp Han Army is also equipped with this weapon).

When the Guanning cavalry rushed over, Liu Tichun ordered the 20,000 Ming troops to form a dense rectangular formation, in front of the array was 4,000 infantry with piercing guns, these infantry inserted the tail of the piercing gun on the ground obliquely, the tip of the spear forward, the gun barrel is nine feet long, the head of the gun is one foot three inches long, and the spear edge is three inches of steel, like a needle, extremely sharp, and there is no need to rush to kill this gun formation, just wait for the cavalry to collide.

Theoretically, this is the case, the premise that can be effectively used is the courage of the Ming soldiers in the front, when facing the torrent of tens of thousands of war horses, the fear caused by the sound of thousands of horses galloping and the oppression of momentum is not something that anyone can resist.

This also requires the archers in the rear of the formation to fire wild arrows to suppress the cavalry charge, in addition to causing damage to the cavalry, but also to embolden the soldiers in the front.

The Guanning army charged into battle with more than 10,000 cavalry brought by Wu Sangui, and there were more follow-up troops rushing here not too far behind.

Seeing that Liu Tichun is already in full swing, whether to wait for the rear team or attack immediately depends on Wu Sangui's choice.

He motioned for the army to stop advancing, and rushed to the only earthen hill nearby where the Ming army could be observed.

He looked far away, and found that the east-west direction of this place is a big road, this road passes through a large area of dense woods, Liu Tichun placed the rectangular array on the road at the edge of the woods, Wu Sangui raised the hand holding the horsewhip, pointed to the Ming army formation and said: "The main general of the Ming army in front is Liu Tichun, nicknamed Liu Erhu, and is called 'Flying Tiger' in Li Zicheng's army." Although he is a fierce general, he is quite good at using soldiers. Now his intention in setting up a position here is obviously to stop our army from pursuing and killing the remnants of his troops. This thief can also use the terrain here to prevent them from being surrounded by our army from behind or from both wings, and the old man has not found the possibility of leaving these enemies behind and then making a detour to pursue the rest of the Far Escape Ming army. ”
