Chapter 65: The Battle of Lianshanguan V
"The last general is willing to serve the prince." Zhou Quanbin said loudly.
In this case, Zheng Chenggong's descendants will have to die hard.
Although Zheng Chenggong's troops are strong and strong, there are not many generals who can be one-sided.
Zheng Chenggong secretly said in his heart: "If Uncle Gan was here, I wouldn't be so short of people." ”
Speaking of which, Zheng Chenggong is still a little worried about Zhou Quanbin, even the mountains near Shanguan are not too dangerous, but it is not easy to open a road.
If Gan Hui is here, Zheng Chenggong is a little more relieved.
After all, Gan Hui can be regarded as a veteran who follows Zheng Zhilong, but now, Gan Hui has long died under the city of Nanjing. He can't believe others, but only Zhou Quanbin can believe it.
Zheng Chenggong untied the sword and said: "Whether you can save General Liang or not, it's up to you, the lone general will give you the sword, but if there is anyone who does not obey the order, cut it first and then play." ”
Zhou Quanbin said: "Yes." ”
Immediately, Zhou Quanbin left the camp with more than 10,000 people from his headquarters, and when he left, he heard the rumbling cannons in the rear.
Zheng Chenggong has already begun to storm Lianshan Pass.
After Zhou Quanbin set off, Zheng Chenggong had put aside all the things of Liang Huafeng and Zhou Quanbin. Single-mindedly attack Lianshan Pass.
Now near Lianshan Pass, both sides are stuck in each other's necks.
Zheng Chenggong appeared in the west of Lianshan Pass, and there were many hidden dangers behind him. And Dasu was in the east of Lianshan Pass, and he also cut off contact with the rear.
The battle for victory and defeat is above the Lianshan Pass.
Whoever wins Lianshan Pass will occupy the initiative.
Before Zheng Chenggong came.
The battle near Lianshan Pass was the victory or defeat of Dasu's siege of Liang Huafeng. But despite the arrival of Zheng Chenggong, this matter is secondary.
In colder words, Liang Huafeng has completed his task, even if he is annihilated now, it doesn't matter.
Zheng Chenggong must focus on the main battlefield.
The battle at Lianshan Pass, Zhou Quanbin didn't care.
Now all his attention is on the road.
These mountain paths are not for people to walk at all. Most of them are beast paths, that is, the paths of beasts in the mountains.
Zhou Quanbin asked the soldiers below to be all lightly armed, and only brought three days of dry food, weapons, and even the armor was thrown aside, and many times, they were put down with a rope, and everyone pulled the rope to go.
You can only walk in columns, and you can't be two people in parallel at all.
Zhou Quanbin is at the forefront.
For three days, I barely closed my eyes.
Both hands were worn out by stones. And the same goes for the feet.
For him, not bad. After all, most of the officer class can wear boots, but most of the soldiers below are wearing mille-feuille soles. This is one of the significant changes in logistics.
In Cao Ying
When the army went down to the south of the Yangtze River, most of the soldiers were still straw sandals. And now every sergeant can be issued several pairs of mille-feuille soles, and the officers also have military boots.
Compared to the elite of the Eight Banners, it may be insufficient.
But if we talk about the average, the average of the Qing army in the far past.
It's just that when I was light, these shoes were thrown down. Only a new pair of shoes on his feet. But even new shoes can't stop it, climbing on a mountain with no road.
At this moment, the soles of most of the soldiers' shoes were open.
The thumbs on his feet are exposed.
Most of the soldiers made some grass with their hands, rolled it into a straw rope, tied their shoes up and down, and put them on as much as they could.
In this way, although it can barely be used. However, it is inevitable that many soldiers will hurt their feet. By the time they reached the top of the last mountain, more than 100 soldiers had injured their feet and could not move, and they were all left behind.
There were also dozens of soldiers, who were not killed or injured in combat for various reasons, fell off the cliff, and were injured by the tigers. If yes, etc.
Zhou Quanbin looked at the camp under the mountain from a distance, and the Qing army bit the Xia army camp in the middle, and the sound of shouting and killing came from the Xia army camp.
In the camp of the Xia army, there were only a few cannon shots occasionally.
Let Zhou Quanbin judge it immediately.
Liang Huafeng's department didn't have much gunpowder.
Zhou Quanbin looked up at the sky, only to feel that the sun was dark, and it was not far from the sunset, he said: "Order the whole army, rest on the spot, and attack the enemy camp tonight." ”
Night soon fell over the valley.
In the darkness, countless black shadows descended from the mountain dragging ropes little by little. 、
Every soldier has a wooden stick in his mouth, which is called a stick.
Even if you fall down the mountain, you can't make a sound. And at this time, there are never fewer cases of falling from the mountain, and it can even be said that there are very many.
The mountain is steep and inherently dangerous. Not to mention that most of the soldiers were unfamiliar with this place, plus it was dark. It's normal to have an accident, but it's not normal if something doesn't happen.
If it weren't for the steepness of the mountain, Dasu wouldn't have been so relieved, regardless of the back.
However, Sergeant Xia did a good job.
In the darkness, although there was the sound of heavy objects falling from time to time, there was no scream.
In fact, in the dawn, counting the number of people, there were not many people who fell to their deaths, but more than 100 people.
But in the darkness, everyone's fear will be infinitely magnified, they only know that someone fell to their death, they don't know who fell to their death, and they don't even know if it will be their turn.
Still keep your teeth tight.
When it was almost midnight, Zhou Quanbin gathered the army at the foot of the mountain, and under an order, more than 10,000 troops, divided into three teams, that is, three battalions, entered the camp of the Qing army.
For a while, the shouting and killing were loud.
The Qing army was caught off guard and collapsed for a while.
Liang Huafeng and Ma Degong almost cried with joy when they heard this voice. Xia Jun couldn't hold on anymore, not to mention anything else, just opened
At the beginning, the Xia army died and could still be buried on the spot.
However, as the war became more and more urgent, the Qing army's offensive became stronger and stronger, and even at night, it would make two or three feints. Under such circumstances, Sergeant Xia suffered too many casualties.
Every single person is very important.
There is simply no time and energy to bury the body.
But now it is the time of the transition of spring and summer, and summer is unabashedly unleashing its power to Liaodong.
With so many corpses exposed to such a sun, what kind of changes will occur can be imagined.
If you want to be cremated, you can't.
The reason is simple, there is no firewood.
In the camp, everyone ate cold food and water, and they couldn't even drink a sip of hot water, and where was there firewood to burn the corpses.
Liang Huafeng knew very well that if this continued, the non-combat attrition in the camp would increase.
If it continues, it will be a dead end.
So at this time, he discussed with Ma Degong and the two, and the army attacked, echoing Zhou Quanbin back and forth, and attacked the camp of the Qing army.
It can be said that all the people in the camp who can move are pulled out.
Immediately, on the west side of Lianshan Pass, the cannon roared, but Zheng Chenggong knew about the movement here and began to storm Lianshan Pass to contain the Qing army's troops.
It was not until the next morning that the battle was understood.
Zhou Quanbin, Liang Huafeng and Ma Degong converged. Sweep away the camp on the north side of the Qing army.
Zhou Quanbin asked Liang Huafeng and Ma Degong about the remaining manpower, and there were only 15,000 people left.
You must know that there are more than 30,000 people in Liang Huafeng's headquarters, and Ma Degong also brought more than 10,000 reinforcements, which shows the weight of the loss.
However, they also got good news.
A head was placed in front of them.
It's none other than Dasu.
The camp they attacked was the camp of Tasuza. A night battle was extremely chaotic, and even Zhou Quanbin and Liang Huafeng's soldiers were killed by mistake.
So it's not clear who killed this Dasu.
This was only discovered after dawn when the bodies were cleaned up.
The three of them were overjoyed, so they hung the head of the Dasu people and hurried to attack the camp on the south side, which originally wanted to fight, but when they saw the head of the Dasu people, they suddenly lost their morale.
I don't know what to do.
After all, they have now lost contact with the rear, and only when Dasu is in charge can the morale of the army be stabilized, and as soon as Dasu died, there was chaos.
was rushed by three people and was immediately defeated.
I don't know how many soldiers fled into the mountains. Later, the banditry in Liaodong lasted for many years, and it may not have nothing to do with this war.
However, the three of them gathered and didn't chase much, so they camped on the east side of Lianshan Pass and surrounded a lonely city in Lianshan Pass.
Although Lianshan Pass has not yet been conquered, the overall situation is determined.
