Chapter 364: The Battle of Dragon and Phoenix Bend (1)
Guangyang Town, Dragon and Phoenix Bend!
The so-called dragon and phoenix bend is actually a curved road with mountain slopes on both sides, and if you know the art of war, you can see at a glance that this is an excellent ambush place.
I have to say that the place Wu Sangui chose was excellent, but he designed it to ambush him.
"This is the Dragon and Phoenix Bend!" Zhang Kuishan and the Red Lady came here with an army of 20,000 Ying Long and an army of 130,000 Red Lady, and the Red Lady glanced at the terrain here and said.
In the past few years, the Red Lady has attacked Li Zicheng three times, and has conducted an inventory of dozens of miles around Nanyang.
"Hehe, the next thing is to wait for Wu Sangui to arrive, and I don't know if Wu Sangui will play tricks!" Zhang Kuishan smiled, today's Ying Long Army is no longer the Ying Long Army of the past, even if Wu Sangui is really playing tricks, he is not afraid.
"Pass the order down and ambush according to the plan!" Zhang Kuishan and the Red Lady passed down the order at the same time.
Although Wu Sangui's plan to kill three birds with one stone seemed to be worth trying, Zhang Kuishan and the Red Lady did not dare to be careless, and ordered the army to ambush and strengthen precautions to prevent major changes and unnecessary losses.
Just when Zhang Kuishan and the Red Lady led the army to ambush, Wu Sangui also led the Guan Ning Army and other 140,000 troops to a place only ten miles away from Longfeng Bend.
"Da Da Da"
Riding a fast horse came to Wu Sangui's side and said something in Wu Sangui's ear.
Wu Sangui's expression froze, since the dragon and phoenix bend had done a good job of ambushing, it was his turn to lead the army to throw himself into the net!
Wu Sangui's 140,000 army, only 40,000 Guan Ning army is only his core strength, and the other 100,000 army The reason why he wants to send Daming to attack Li Zicheng in that way is not only to show goodwill to Daming, but also to be able to withdraw from Henan, after all, he still has to continue to be an undercover agent in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is impossible to evacuate directly with the 140,000 army, otherwise it will definitely arouse Dorgon's suspicions.
"Pass the order, speed up the march!"
"Drive!" Wu Sangui rode forward, and when he passed by Yang Kun, he glanced at Yang Kun.
Yang Kun received Wu Sangui's signaling look, looked at Wu Sangui's back and nodded secretly.
After a stick of incense, Wu Sangui led the army to the front of the dragon and phoenix bend.
"Great, wait!" Just when Wu Sangui was about to lead the army into Longfeng Bend, Gao Di suddenly rode his horse in front of Wu Sangui and said: "The terrain of Dragon and Phoenix Bend is very easy to be ambushed by the enemy, for the sake of prudence, I also asked the marshal to send someone to investigate before leading the army to enter." ”
Gao Di is one of the two deputy generals beside Wu Sangui, and his position in Wu Sangui's heart is only below Yang Kun, so he is naturally not an incompetent person, the terrain of Longfeng Bend is indeed very unfavorable, if he didn't know Wu Sangui's plan, even Yang Kun would come out to stop it, so Gao Di's move was expected by Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui had already thought of his words.
"No need, Ben Shuai has already asked Yang Kun to send scouts in to investigate, there is no danger!" Wu Sangui said with a smile.
Gao Di frowned and looked at Yang Kun.
Yang Kun nodded expressionlessly, and also knew the reason why Wu Sangui took the matter on him at this time, because he would not be Wu Sangui's person after a while, and it was most appropriate for him to carry the traitor's black cauldron.
After getting Yang Kun's confirmation, Gao Di immediately stopped blocking and got out of the way.
Wu Sangui's 140,000 troops successively entered Longfeng Bend.
"Commander Zhang, Wu Sangui really came in with a large army, it seems that what Wu Sangui said in his heart is not false!" The red lady is now sure that Wu Sangui has really returned to the arms of Daming.
Zhang Kuishan nodded, counting him Wu Sangui's acquaintance.
"Is Li Zicheng's scout here?" Zhang Kuishan asked a general of the Ying Long Army.
"Back to the military seat, here, hide in the periphery of the dragon and phoenix bend." The general of the Ying Long Army replied.
Originally, the 150,000 troops including the Long Army went straight to Guiyang, but when they were close to Nanyang, they suddenly turned north and came to Guangyang Town.
"Okay, whether Wu Sangui's plan of killing three birds with one stone can hook Li Zicheng, the big bird, depends on whether Li Zicheng has the courage to take the opportunity to lead troops out of Nanyang to pick up cheap." Zhang Kuishan said with a smile.
Nanyang is one of several big cities in Henan, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the Ming army is attacked, even if it can be attacked, there will be a lot of casualties, if Li Zicheng can lead the army out of the city, outside the city to defeat Li Zicheng's army, can reduce a lot of casualties, it must be the best, this is also one of the reasons why Zhang Kuishan and the Red Lady agreed to Wu Sangui's plan.
The dragon and phoenix bend is very long, just enough to accommodate Wu Sangui's 140,000 troops.
When Wu Sangui's 140,000 troops all entered Longfeng Bend, Zhang Kuishan took the flintlock pistol of a soldier of Ying Long's army and fired a shot into the sky.
"Bang!" With a crisp gunshot rang out.
"Kill!" Countless Ying Long Army and Red Lady Army came out from both sides of the Dragon and Phoenix Bend, dense and amazing.
"Not good! We are in ambush! Seeing countless Ming troops rushing out, Wu Sangui's face instantly changed and he roared angrily.
Gao Di also looked ugly, didn't he say that Yang Kun sent scouts to investigate, why there was an ambush, Gao Di couldn't figure it out.
At the moment when countless Ming troops rushed out, the earth-shattering shouts of killing also sounded behind Guan Ningjun.
"What's the matter, someone in the army has defected, could it be Yang Kun!" Gao Di only thought of this one possibility, and then he was a little incredulous, he didn't believe that this mutinous person would be Yang Kun anyway, but if it wasn't for Yang Kun, then how could they be ambushed here.
Wu Sangui also pretended to be a day of iron green, with an angry face!
"Yang Kun, Ben Shuai is not thin with you, you dare to betray me!" Wu Sangui roared angrily, people who didn't know couldn't tell the truth at all, at least Gao Di couldn't see it.
Gao Di heard Wu Sangui's roar, and also knew that the person who rebelled must be Yang Kun.
There were Ming troops on both sides and in front, and Yang Kun with 100,000 troops in the rear mutiny, and the Guan Ning army seemed to be in danger all of a sudden.
"Marshal, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, the Ming army is strong, let's withdraw!" Gaudí said the wisest choice at the moment.
"No, Yang Kun bears me! I, Wu Sangui, will kill him! Wu Sangui roared angrily.
"Pass on my general order, Yang Kun rebelled, and whoever killed Yang Kun will be promoted to the third level!"
"Kill!" Wu Sangui took 40,000 Guan Ning troops and turned around and killed Yang Kun's 100,000 army behind him.
Guan Ningjun knew that his people had rebelled, and one by one they were furious, followed behind Wu Sangui, and rushed to kill! The Battle of Dragon and Phoenix Bend broke out!
