Chapter 223 [Guangwu Confrontation]

The herald, who came to his senses, began to reply, "They, the Eastern Tartars, they want General Wu to shave, shave your hair, and make it easy to wear!" After accepting the title of King of Pingxi County in the Great Qing Dynasty, Dongyu Jian was willing to send troops to fight with our army. ”

However, this request is tantamount to asking the Ming Ning Yuanwei General Army to directly surrender to the Qing Empire, which is unacceptable to him!

The second is "shaving hair and easy to wear" for the people of the Ming Dynasty; The parents of the body hair and skin are not easy to shave!

And if he surrenders to the barbarians so openly, how will his brother, younger brother and his generals be like? And what if this is just a ploy by the East Captives? But at the moment, I have almost no choice!

Despite this, he still stubbornly ordered the whole army to rest and prepare to continue fighting tomorrow, not planning to rely on the Eastern Tartars, and wanted to rely on the strength of his three brothers alone to repel the army of Liukou.

The next day, a breeze gently blew across the corpse-strewn battlefield, worn-out pennants fluttered in the wind, and not far away, another rogue army began to grope its way up with sabers in hand.

On the opposite side, the Ming army guarding the edge of the Great Wall at the Nine Gates, some were lying on the ground and screaming, some were eating steamed buns in pain, and some continued to climb on the fortress to monitor the front.

As soon as the soldiers saw an army of rogues in armor approaching, they immediately shouted, "Alert! The whole army is on alert, there is an enemy approaching! ”

As soon as the words fell, the trumpeter in the barracks took out the horn and blew it (woo, woo, woo~) With the sound of the horn, the Ming army began to pick up their own swords, spears, firearms, hammers, shields, bows and arrows from the military tent one after another.

All the Ming troops were distributed according to the surrounding geographical location, standing outward in an oval shape, the cavalry was held in a relatively flat area, ready to charge out at any time, and the artillery battalions were still reloading ammunition at important strongholds.

The soldiers of the Shun army, who were walking in front of the flag-carrying sergeant, began to charge under the order of the prime minister of Dashun, and bravely pounced on the rogue army like ants, and they were greeted by the shells from the cold muzzles of the Ming army camp and the fire of the lead bullets.

Many of the charging rogues were blown up and shot to death, but they still couldn't resist their onslaught!

Ming Ning Yuanwei, who was in charge of the front command, drew his saber and ordered: "Infantry sword player attack!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the Ming infantry on the left and right flanks moved forward and walked in an orderly manner, under the cover of the fire team and the archery team, and under the shelling of the rear artillery battalion, the Ming infantry once again slashed and killed the Liukou soldiers.

At the same time, Emperor Dashun also waved his hand to the generals around him, stepped forward and asked the flag waver to wave the flag to transfer the light cavalry of the Shun army to fight the Guanning iron cavalry, and cover the Ming army's position with heavy artillery, and ordered the Shun army of the three sides to slowly close the encirclement.

This forced the Guanning Iron Cavalry under the command of the General Guards of Mingning Yuanwei to suffer a heavy blow, because if the encirclement was closed, they would have to deal with more rogue troops several times their size!

Soon, the light cavalry of the Shun army in all directions approached the Guanning iron cavalry with three consecutive bows and crossbows and continued to release arrows, resulting in the Guanning iron cavalry having to give up the fire gun shooting and replace it with a shield to resist, and occasionally a few Guan Ning iron cavalry shot with a fire gun, but they were immediately killed by the crossbow arrows of the Liukou light cavalry!

The battle situation was once very unfavorable to the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and took this opportunity to meet the heavy armor soldiers of the Shun Army and the Ming Descending Army again, and stepped forward to fight with the *** tripping horse rope and meteor hammer, and swept a lot of Guanning Iron Cavalry all the way, and there were not a few people who fell off the horse and were beaten to death!

Guan Ning Iron Cavalry had to use the three-eyed gun as a weapon to hammer the rogue soldiers who were close to them, and the Ning Yuan Wei Ming army around them had already entered the white-knuckle battle and fist fighting, and some of the Ming soldiers were directly knocked down by the meteor hammer in the hands of the rogue soldiers, and the big cap hit the dilapidated wall stones.

Some strangled the enemy's neck with their weapons, leaving them unable to breathe until they died! Some melee battles used firearms to penetrate the enemy's chest armor one by one and died, and the battle was very fierce, which made the commander-in-chief of the Mingning Yuanwei in front of the battle very nervous.

Because there were soldiers around him who were constantly falling, and battle reports came one after another, most of them were news of being killed in battle, and there was very little information about killing the enemy and holding the stronghold.

This made the general guard of Mingning Yuanwei start to worry, and he couldn't bear it anymore and prepared to lead his subordinates to charge again, ready to break through the encirclement of the rogues in one go.

And at this time, a group of people were brought up in front of the rogue array on the opposite side?

Suddenly, a rogue light cavalry wearing leather armor came to the front of the Ming army and shouted, "The whole army obeys the order, stop!" His Majesty the Emperor Dashun has an order to limit the three brothers of the Wu family to immediately lay down their arms and surrender to my Dashun, otherwise the lives of the Wu family and the former Ming crown prince and vassal kings will not be guaranteed! ”

After finishing speaking, the Liukou light cavalry went back to the front of the battle, and sure enough, the Liukou soldiers escorted the Ming crown prince Prince Song, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, the fifth prince of the Ming Dynasty, the Prince of Lingling, the Prince of Ming Jinsu, the Prince of Ming Xian, the Prince of Ming Shen Zhao, the Prince of Ming Qinwen, and the commander of the Ming Jingying: Wu Xiang, and a number of important people were all escorted up.

Before the battle, Emperor Dashun signaled to let the former military governor of Dashun: Li Laiheng, use the snow-white sharp "fish head knife" to stand on the necks of His Royal Highness Prince Song and the commander of the Ming Jingying and move left and right, as if he was planning to do it!

This frightened the general soldier of Ming Ning Yuanwei immediately panicked, and the generals around him were also very worried! After all, everyone knows that the general soldier of Ming Ning Yuanwei is a well-known filial son, and now that his father is threatened by the rogue, it seems that surrender is inevitable!

Sure enough, the saber held in the hands of the general soldier of Mingning Yuanwei trembled a little! But at this critical moment, he didn't lose his mind, and he suddenly remembered something?

It is said that the chaos in the Central Plains at the end of Qin was in 206 BC in the third year of the Han Dynasty, and the overlord of Western Chu: Xiang Yu, after conquering thirteen cities in Liangdi, was about to take back all the seventeen cities attacked by the Han general Wei Xiangguo: Peng Yue.

However, there was an extremely unfavorable news from the front line of Chenggao City? Chenggao City was actually broken by the king of Hanzhong: Liu Bang, who led the army to break through?

This news made the Xichu Overlord very nervous! He had to abandon his plan to exterminate the Han general Wei Xiangguo, and the Han general Wei Xiangguo was able to escape from the Chu army again.

This is the meaning of the king of Hanzhong and the Han general Wei Xiangguo to assist each other before and after, forcing the overlord of Western Chu to be exhausted and exhausted.

Although the overlord of Western Chu has the Great Sima of Western Chu: Long Ji, the Tiger Benwei Zhonglang General of Western Chu: Zhong Liwu, the King of Jiujiang of Western Chu: Yingbu, the Little Sima of Western Chu: Ji Bu, and the Sima of the Western Chu Army: Yuzi Period, these brave generals, but still none of them can take charge alone and entangle with the Han general Wei Xiangguo in the rear?

Maybe there is a chance that one of these generals will be able to take charge alone, but because the overlord of Western Chu fell into the anti-plot of the Western Chu strategist: Chen Ping, he is no longer so at ease with these generals, how can he leave the affairs of fighting against the Han general Wei Xiangguo to them.

At this moment, the overlord of Western Chu may sigh why there is no one available in his hands? Therefore, when the overlord of Western Chu entered Guanzhong in the west, the army in the hands of the king of Hanzhong was besieging the general of the Western Chu Tiger Benwei Zhonglang.

However, the Western Chu Tiger Benwei Zhonglang General is very likely to be one of the defenders arranged by the Western Chu Overlord in Chenggao City, after all, with the deputy general of the Western Chu Tenglong Legion: Cao Qi, the military ability is still relatively average, if you add the assistance of the Western Chu Tiger Benwei Zhonglang General, then it shouldn't be a problem to hold on to Chenggao City?

It is also possible that he was deliberately arranged by the overlord of Western Chu to operate in the area of the Western Front, as a reserve force for support from all sides.

Although General Benwei Zhonglang of the Western Chu Tiger was a strong general, no matter how powerful he was, he could not beat the Han army several times his own, so he was soon surrounded by the army of the king of Hanzhong.

At present, General Ben Wei Zhonglang of the Western Chu Tiger is not the opponent of the army of the king of Hanzhong at all, but the king of Hanzhong thinks that he is not the opponent of the overlord of Western Chu militarily, so when he heard that the overlord of Western Chu had withdrawn and returned from Liangdi, the troops in the hands of the king of Hanzhong retreated one after another.

Although they retreated in a hurry, they retreated in a very orderly manner, and the direction of their retreat was a dangerous area, which was generally a strategic point that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and could effectively block the opponent by virtue of the favorable terrain, or even wait for work at leisure, and take the opportunity to consume the opponent's military strength.

When the overlord of Western Chu led the army westward, he heard that the king of Hanzhong led a heavy army to retreat and stationed in Guangwu City to resist the Chu army, so he led his troops to be stationed under Guangwu City, and the two sides looked at each other from a distance across the Guangwu stream.

After two months of confrontation between the Chu and Han armies, the food supply in the Chu army began to be insufficient, and the Han army had Han Guangye Jun: Li Shiqi, and the strategy of occupying Aocang began to show his true value, so that the Han army did not have to worry about the problem of food at all.

The army of the overlord of Western Chu has a large number of troops, which is relatively remote from the hinterland of Western Chu, and it is difficult to supply grain and grass, and it can barely support it in the early stage, but the disadvantages of being unsustainable in the later stage will gradually appear.

He has never been afraid of fighting the overlord of Western Chu, but for solving the problem of food and clothing for hundreds of thousands of troops, it is a bit difficult for heroes!

The helplessness of grain and grass made the Western Chu Overlord begin to feel anxious, and when the Western Chu Overlord was in a hurry, he would think of various ways to solve the problem.

This time he decided to threaten the king of Hanzhong in a more extreme way? That is, the father of the king of Hanzhong, Liu Xuan, was placed on the city wall, and the news was widely spread to the king of Hanzhong, "If you don't surrender immediately, Gu will cook your father." ”

This word reached the ears of the king of Hanzhong, and after he heard it, he said: "The overlord of Chu and the widow have accepted the mission of Emperor Yi of King Huai of Chu, and have agreed to be brothers, since they are brothers, then the father of the widow is the father of his overlord of Chu, if he really wants to cook the widow's father, then let him give the widow a cup of broth." ”

It is this sentence that makes us misunderstand the king of Hanzhong for thousands of years, in fact, the king of Hanzhong is a very ambitious, and very filial and kind person, he will not be really cruel enough to eat his father's meat, otherwise in the "alliance of chasm", the king of Hanzhong will not save his father. Case

Why did the king of Hanzhong say such a thing? In fact, there are two advantages for the resourceful King of Hanzhong to say such things?

One of them; Can make the overlord of Western Chu think that there is nothing that can threaten the king of Hanzhong?

Second; can allow Liu Gong to escape the catastrophe and turn his attention to how to attack the Han army.

It was when the current Mingning Yuanwei soldiers thought of this that they were inspired and shouted angrily: "Dad, please forgive the sins, the child is not filial!" Now His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire has died! The child is both a minister and a son, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety can not be both, you are old and have passed the age of knowing your fate, why is it forbearance to steal life and train to be unrighteous? There is no talent for filial piety, and the courage to scold thieves in the plains, and the father can not be a loyal minister, but there can be a filial son? ”

After saying that, he closed his eyes ruthlessly, ordered the Ming artillery battalion in the rear to load, ignite, and fire the cannon to blast towards the Liukou Chinese army, and then pulled out his saber and ordered: "The whole army listens to the order, and follows the general to go straight to the Liukou Chinese army." ”
