Chapter 282 [Thief Runs to the Solid Pass]
Seeing this, the Guan Ning army on the opposite side still remained silent and maintained a shooting posture, and the Guan Ning army in the rear joined the shooting one after another, and a small number of Guan Ning troops scattered around the Liukou Shun army under the leadership of the Ming Ning Yuan Guard.
Soon many silver-white things appeared in the sky, falling towards the camp of the Shun army advancing with shields, and one after another sharp arrows were deeply inserted into the ground, and some were shot through the legs and shoulders of the Shun army and stabbed in the eyes, and many people were killed.
With the attack of this rain of arrows, the general of Dashun Zhongying Guoyi, Qi Hou, realized the crisis, because the soldiers around him had arrows, and according to the arrows pulled out by the soldiers on the spot, they were shovel arrows? Typical barbarian archer weapon.
Sure enough, in the next second, a large number of horses' hooves were heard, and many cavalry rushed out from the left and right sides, and the Donglu army in the front row exposed several erected yellow and white flags in the crowd, and also showed superb cavalry and archery techniques to shoot at the Liukou.
In the panic, Qinghou, the general of Guoyi of the right battalion of Dashun, and Luhou, the general of Guoyi of the right battalion of Dashun, led the army to fight with the suddenly appeared Dongyu Jiannu Tartar.
However, most of the soldiers were shot before they got close, and even if they were lucky enough to get to the front, they were cut off by various scimitars and one-handed knives in the hands of the Dongyu Jiannu cavalry, and the blades were cut off and dismounted.
encountered that most of the soldiers fell from their horses while charging halfway due to the outbreak of the epidemic, which caused the Shun army to be defeated!
Before being killed into the battle by the king of Wuying County of the Manchu Dynasty with a Pu knife, he slashed the Dashun right battalion Guoyi General Qinghou: Ren Weirong, and the head of the younger brother who was fighting next to him Dashun Right Battalion Guoyi General Luhou: Ren Weiguang, a little surprised!
He hurriedly turned around to look at his brother's fallen corpse and shouted, "Brother! The cuckoo has come to avenge you. ”
After speaking, he immediately rode his horse and raised his sword, and rushed towards the Manchu Wuying County King with killing intent, and the Manchu Wuying County King, who was able to fight vigorously, also turned around and prepared to fight with the Dashun Right Battalion Guoyi General Luhou after hacking to death three or four Shun troops, and the eyes of both sides revealed the murderous feeling of vowing to kill each other and then quickly.
But at this critical moment, in the camp of the Guanning army, the commander-in-chief of the Mingning Yuanwei personally raised the gun to hook the trigger, and fired the enemy general's shoulder from the neck with a Miru gun, causing the Manchu Wuying County King to take the opportunity to stab him, and he fell down fiercely after picking up the corpse.
Seeing this scene, the general Qi Hou of Guoyi, who was still in the middle of the Dashun camp, was frightened, so he grabbed the reins on the spot, turned around and ordered a retreat, fled in the direction of the Qingshui River in Dingzhou, and tried to cross the river and dismantle the bridge to block the Dongyu coalition army.
In the process of retreating, the cavalry of the Eastern Jiannu was still in hot pursuit, so that the Shun army did not make any preparations to cross the river, so they could only flee in a hurry and borrow the shore boats.
There were even cases of the outbreak of the epidemic and falling to the ground, causing subsequent crowding and falling, so that the Dongyu Jiannu cavalry shuttling in the rain shot with bows and arrows at a distance, and pierced the armor with knives and guns at a close distance to death.
The Guan Ning army also cooperated to surround the Shun army near the Qingshui River in Dingzhou, shot the Shun army with a strong crossbow, and then sent infantry to attack the Liukou with rolling stone blocks, and finally broke up the Shun army.
Among them, the king of Yujun of the Manchu Qing Dynasty used a meteor hammer to move over, hooking the commander of the Liukou Kou, the general of Guoyi in the Zhongying Guoyi: Gu Kecheng, whose neck strangled him, dismounted and fell to the ground, and was pierced by an arrow and his armor was pierced all over his body and died.
Immediately after dealing with the battlefield, the Manchu Wuying County King and the Manchu Yujun King ordered the headquarters army and the Guanning Army to continue to pursue the Liukou Shun army, including the Mingning Yuanwei General Guard, who also wanted to fight the Liukou, so they rushed through Xinle County and came to the territory of the Xi'an Right Guard (Shenwu Right Guard) in Beizhili Zhending Mansion.
At this time, the weather gradually cleared up and the rain stopped, but the sky was still full of dark clouds, and a gloomy atmosphere shrouded the area above the right guard of Xi'an. Or go west to the official road, cross the Guguan Great Wall, and enter Shanxi Chengxuan Political Envoy Division?
Emperor Dashun was unsure about this proposal, and successively asked the people on the left and right, that is, the founding military division of Dashun: Song Xiance, and the prime minister of Dashun and Tianyou Pavilion scholar: Niu Jinxing, what should the two of them do?
The two of them believed that in the south, it was not only the area controlled by the Ming Dynasty, but also the king of the West in the south: Zhang Xianzhong, and the actual troops stationed in the south would inevitably cause a vicious war. And westward into Shanxi Chengxuan political envoy Si Taiyuan Mansion is different?
This is because during the previous Eastern Expedition to the Ming Dynasty and Gyeonggi, the garrisons were left in the territory of the state capitals and county guards of the Shanxi Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, and after crossing the Yellow River, it was the base camp of Shaanxi Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, which was the hometown of everyone, not to mention that the Eastern Capture Coalition Army was menacing and there were epidemics in the army from time to time, so it would not be good if you took it to your hometown (referring to the founding military division of Dashun and the prime minister of Dashun and the scholar of Tianyou Pavilion).
This move made Emperor Dashun approve? After all, he himself had always proposed to withdraw his troops and return to his hometown before the Eastern Expedition, so his homesickness and the idea of planning to live in a single place forced him to adopt the plan of withdrawing the army from Shanxi Chengxuan Political Envoy.
But just when the Shun army had just made up its mind, the rear of the Dashun army was attacked by the cavalry of the two banners of Dongyu Jiannu, and the Guanning army also set up a camp due to the sunny weather, using the chariot battalion to attack, with partial vans, Wugang vehicles, Yuanrong vehicles, four types of chariot battalion firearms set up on the high ground, and the Guanning iron cavalry was guarded in front, the Guanning musketeers shot left and right, and the infantry spear team fought in the strategic way of protecting the chariot battalion in front.
When the already embarrassed Shun army faced the attack of the Eastern Tatars and the elite Guanning army, most of the generals led the army to surrender, and the soldiers and horses of each battalion were almost unable to resist!
After a few shells from the black house of the chariot battalion were fired, the Shun army fled directly in a mess, some to Yuanshi County, and some to Luxian County.
Even the generals in the Dashun Zhong military camp and the pioneer camp were also panicked, and the Dashun Emperor only arranged and assigned the general soldiers of the Dashun Zhong Army: Ma Chongxi, who led the army to defend the Guguan, and then let the wounded Dashun General Ruhou command the light cavalry archers and heavy armor soldiers to resist the Guanning army, and then led the main force to retreat to the Guguan Pass and escape for his life across the Great Wall.
The general soldier of the Ming Ning Yuanwei, who has always had military experience, broke through to the close combat of the Guanning Iron Cavalry by the shield of the heavy armor of the Shun Army, so he let the Guanning Iron Cavalry retreat, and replaced it with the Guanning Fire Gun Team to shoot, and after shooting three lead bullets, he also took the lead in the charge, pulled out the lancet on his waist and shouted, "Liu Jiexuan, the general of the Liukou, came out and died!" ”
Before the war, the general Ru Hou of the Great Shun Quan saw the appearance of the enemy Wu Sangui, so he had to send the light cavalry of the Shun army to disturb the cavalry of the two banners of Dongyu Jiannu.
The light cavalry of the Shun army is equipped with war knives, fire guns, and earth-shaking thunder, and the earth-shaking thunder and war knives are used in close combat, and the fire guns are switched in long-distance battles, so that the Dongyu Jiannu cavalry is busy running, which is also the best strategy of the Liukou Shun army (sounding east and attacking west), so that the Guanning army and the Dongyu Jiannu cavalry are running.
But after all, the Dongyu Jiannu cavalry was flexible in tactics and had an advantage in the strength of the alliance with the Guanning army, although the Shun army was excited for a while, but the troops were small, and they were soon wiped out by the Dongyu coalition army! Forcing the general of Da Shunquan, Ruhou, to have to retreat immediately.
Despite this, the Eastern Capture Coalition Army was still in hot pursuit, but once the Great Wall of Guguan was bombarded by the Shun army, the pursuit was stopped, and the cunning Manchu Wuying King learned that the army was inferior to the Shun army and could not easily break the city.
If you are too tight and afraid that the dog will jump off the wall, the general soldiers of the Ming Ning Yuanwei also estimated the situation in the surrender of the Shun army and the capture of the former Ming army, thinking that they have been deep in the interior for a long time, afraid that there will be many changes in the capital, and the general Ruhou of Dashun has been defeated, and now he is also defeated, not to mention that the Shun army is only a big defeat and does not hurt the vitality, in Shanxi Cheng Xuan political envoy Datong Mansion There is also a Dashun Datong supervising army: Ke Tianxiang, and the governor of the Dashun infantry army: Zhang Heiface, the two of them are guarding and Wanquan are in command of the envoy Si has the governor of Dashun Xuan, the marquis of mixed heaven: Zhang Tianlin, led the troops to guard the rest of the Lu'an Prefecture Luzhou Wei by Da Shun Ping Nanbo: Liu Zhong, the town guard connected Henan Cheng Xuan Political Envoy Division of the state capital and county guard ready to echo the situation.
This not only made the Ming Ning Yuanwei generals understand, but even the Manchu Wuying County King and the Manchu Yujun King also understood that this strength alone could not eliminate the Liukou Shun army, once the Shun army gathered troops and horses to counterattack, the result was that they were all wiped out, rather than this, it was better to sell personal favors to withdraw the troops to recuperate, and wait for the next time to bring enough soldiers and horses to kill a horse pistol.
So the Guanning army was the first to retreat, and then the Eastern Jiannu cavalry also withdrew after a feint and released a wave of arrows.
In addition, the protagonist's side commanded the affairs of the right guard of Mingtong Prefecture all the way: Xu Wenqing, led everyone to escort the county lord Zhu Youlan, to the coveted outer city area of Shuntianfu, the capital of the Ming Emperor.
The scene they saw along the way was not as rich as the legendary Son of Heaven at their feet, not as prosperous as they imagined, but to see that most of the houses around the capital were the corpses of people who died of illness and starvation, and there were only a few people on the street who were strong enough to resist the epidemic and recovered!
Occasionally, I can see a few people who are either going to buy medicine and vegetables, or patrol soldiers wearing face towels, or military doctors and doctors, and the smell of death is everywhere nearby, so they were ordered to wear scarves by the commander of the right guard of Mingtong Prefecture on the road.
Wu Junzhen, who was riding in front, looked at the suffering people and couldn't help but sigh, "I always thought that only the people in the Central Plains would suffer from the epidemic, but I didn't expect that there would also be an epidemic near this Jingshi!" ”
The commander of the right guard of Mingtong Prefecture, who had long been accustomed to the situation, said with a smile: "This is nothing! In the early days, from the fifteenth year of Chongzhen to the present, the officers in the capital have long been living this kind of life against the epidemic! For this reason, Shuntianfu has received many letters from the people who have proposed them. ”
After saying that, Zhu Youlan, who was driving in the car, also lifted a little curtain to look at the scene outside, she was a little uncomfortable and hurriedly urged the groom to enter Beijing, while Ma Wei, Liu Ruilin and Wu Junzhen asked to enter Beijing.
The commander of the right guard of Ming Tongzhou sent someone to send a book to the general administration department in advance, so Wu Junzhen and his party were able to escort Zhu Youlan from the Zuo'an Gate of the outer city to pass the inspection of the Ming army left behind in the left guard, and then entered the city and dismounted and walked across the moat, and continued to go north to the west to the Zhengyang Gate, and met the soldiers of the south guard of the town to ask for the waist card and the road guide.
Wu Junzhen and his entourage had to invite Zhu Youlan who was driving the car out, dismounted and took out the waist card to signal, "I am the daughter of the king of Tai'an County in the Ming Dynasty, so that the Secretary of the General Administration will report that he wants to enter Beijing to face the saint." ”
The Zhennan guards who were standing guard did not dare to stop and immediately let them go, and Ma Wei on the side thought as he walked while thinking that if he would enter the palace and meet the real Ming Emperor, what would he do in the future? Do you want to serve the court? But to do so is to change history! Ma Wei knew this deeply, but he had no choice but to follow Wu Junzhen into the city the moment the city gate opened.
