Chapter 430: When the enemy meets, he is very red

In fact, Li Guo couldn't understand why the Tartars would send Wu Sangui to command the troops.

Although the Tartars are a little shameless, the combat effectiveness of the army is quite strong.

Especially the Eight Banners Army, known as the Eight Banners is less than 10,000 and invincible.

The Battle of Sichuan was supposed to be the first crushing defeat experienced by the Eighth Banner Army.

Could it be that this battle has destroyed the Tartars' spirit?

Li Guo squinted his eyes and asked, "Heng'er, why do you want to see the Tartar reuse Wu Sangui?" ”

Li Laiheng clasped his hands into fists and said: "According to my son, it is nothing more than two points." First, the Tartars don't want to lose the elite of the Eight Banners anymore. Second, the Tartars didn't want to take Huguang in one fell swoop. ”

Mr. Lee's analysis is brief, but it makes sense.

Li Guo muttered a few words and nodded: "It seems that Wu Sangui and Dolgon didn't expect to go together." ”

"Father, no matter what his schemes are, we just need to fight steadily, it is absolutely impossible for Wu Sangui to take advantage of us."

After all, Li Guo is the commander of the First Army, and he can't help but think about it.

He pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, first order the officers and men of the three armies to remain vigilant and be ready for war at any time." The whole city of Jingmen is under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. ”

Li Guo pursued the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness, which can be regarded as worthy of Wu Sangui. He knew that this battle would not be too easy to fight, but even if it was not good, he would definitely win it.

...

...

Wu Sangui rode a jujube red horse and looked into the distance on the small hill.

He took the reins of his horse with one hand, looking very calm.

Not far away is Jingmen City.

This gateway to Jingzhou is located here, and if you want to take Jingzhou, you must take Jingmen.

The reason why Wu Sangui chose to attack Jingmen was because he wanted to make a name for himself in a battle.

Now that the morale of the Qing army is low, if he can bring this tone up, it will naturally be of great benefit to the improvement of his status.

Now stationed in Jingmen is the old Shun army Li Guo and Gao Yigong.

Wu Sangui still has some impressions of these two people.

Li Guo is good at fighting, and he is good at scheming, and the two complement each other in one place, and they can be regarded as a first-class famous general.

But Wu Sangui is not worried.

Because from the beginning he didn't want a dignified duel.

Fighting a war is about the result, and it doesn't matter how the process is.

Wu Sangui wanted to force Li Guo and Gao Yigong to leave the city, and he couldn't wait to fight.

It's not hard to do that, you just need to show off the old things.

As long as the battle of Shanhaiguan is shown off, Wu Sangui does not believe that Li Guo and Gao Yigong can hold their temperament.

As long as Li Guogao plans to go out of the city and fight in the field, Wu Sangui is confident that he will eat it in one bite.

"Come on, take out the finished picture scroll."

Wu Sangui gave an order, and immediately a personal soldier took a huge picture scroll.

When they unfolded it, they saw that it was a scene of the Battle of Shanhaiguan.

Although the painting is not very detailed, it basically covers the entire process of the Battle of Shanhaiguan.

Wu Sangui twisted his beard and admired it with taste.

After looking at it for a long time, he nodded and said, "Okay, very good, I'll take it out when I get to Jingmen City!" ”

...

...

"Father, look, it's Wu Thief's soldiers and horses!"

Above the head of Jingmen City, Li Laiheng's eyes were sharp, and he was the first to see the black-pressed soldiers and horses rushing towards Jingmen City.

This army was mainly cavalry, occasionally mixed with infantry.

However, Li Laiheng did not find the necessary wooden and cloud ladders for the siege. There were no catapults or red-coated cannons either.

It's a bit weird.

This Wu Sangui is not a chick who fought for the first time, why doesn't he even understand the basic essentials of attacking the city?

Li Guo had a solemn face, and even the speed of breathing slowed down a lot.

As Wu Sangui's ministry advanced, he was even able to see the pattern on the banner clearly.

After Wu Sangui surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Dolgon allowed him to form a retained army. It is that the banner of Wu Sangui's army is very different from other Qing troops, and it can be recognized at a glance.

Gao Yigong clenched his fists and said hatefully: "Wu thief, I finally have the opportunity to fight you again today." I'm going to be ashamed of someone! ”

The soldiers at the head of the city were in the same mood as Gao Yigong.

They are eager to wash away their shame and prove their strength by fighting.

Wu Sangui rode a tall horse and walked at the front of the team.

He came to a halt two hundred paces from the city gate, and then raised his hand to signal the army to stop.

This distance is a fairly safe distance, and ordinary arrows cannot hurt people at all.

"Wu Sangui, you dog thief dare to take the initiative to send it to the door today, I, Li Guo, will definitely take your head!"

Seeing that Wu Sangui was so arrogant, the anger in Li Guo's chest suddenly came out.

"Yo he, who do you think so, isn't this a tiger general? How did you become a general of the Ming army? ”

Wu Sangui held the reins of the horse with one hand and said jokingly.

This sentence can be said to point to Li Guo's weakness. A tiger is the nickname he used when he rebelled with Li Zicheng. After returning to the Ming Court, this nickname will naturally no longer be used in public, at most it will be said when teasing relatives and friends like Gao Yigong.

Wu Sangui said the nickname of "a tiger" in front of so many people, just to remind Li Guo that he was once just a thief.

"You dog thief is going to get away here. Li sincerely returned to the imperial court and had no second thoughts. Prove my faithfulness today with your head! ”

Facing Li Guo's riposte, Wu Sangui didn't care at all.

He laughed and said, "Oh? Could it be that a tiger general forgot about the fiasco in the Battle of Shanhaiguan? ”

Hearing the words of the Battle of Shanhaiguan, Li Guo's eyes could burst into flames.

He spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and rebuked loudly: "You dog-like thing, you really don't even want a face." How did you win the Battle of Shanhaiguan, don't you have any points in your heart? If you hadn't let the Tartars into the customs, how could you have won. ”

Wu Sangui smiled indifferently: "If you win, you win, you don't care how Lao Tzu wins." If a tiger general forgets, Wu will help you recall. ”

With that, he raised his right hand.

This was obviously a signal that had been discussed in advance, and after Wu Sangui raised his hand, his own soldiers immediately unfolded the picture scroll that had been prepared long ago.

This picture scroll is huge, and the pattern on it can be clearly seen even at the head of Jingmen City.

Li Guo fixed his eyes and was stunned.

Isn't this exactly the portrayal of the Battle of Shanhaiguan?

Wu Sangui, a dog thief, actually drew the story of the first battle of Shanhaiguan, and enjoyed it every day to entertain himself?

Li Guo only felt that his qi and blood were surging, and he almost fainted.

Li Laiheng hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Father, don't be angry. This is Wu Sangui's ploy of the dog thief, he wants to anger his father and uncles. ”

Gao Yigong also said: "What the little tiger said is right, this is Wu Thief's agitation method, you must not fall for it." ”

Li Guo took a deep breath before he barely calmed down.

He sneered: "Wu Sangui, I want to cut you with a thousand knives and crush your bones and scatter ashes!" ”
