Chapter 10 The Funeral of Qingyang Gong

Li Rugui proved one thing with practical actions, that is, the addition of firearms in hand-to-hand combat played a considerable role.

It's just that this kind of firearm is just one of Zhang Xuan's ideas, and the number of them is not very large.

Just as a gift, a lot was distributed to each general.

Just like Zhang Xuan here, there are a lot of them.

Li Rugui did this, although he salvaged some of the rout. But the strength of the Qing army was strong.

rushed over continuously, even though Li Rugui had three heads and six arms. It can't stop the Qing army.

The battle between the two sides reached a climax at the beginning, and then with the influx of the Qing army in the brigade, the Xia family finally retreated to the county government hall step by step.

Li Rugui's handfuls of firearms, I don't know where they were thrown.

Li Rugui spurted blood from his mouth, and looked at a large plaque in the main hall, which read: "Lang Lang Qiankun." ”

Then he fell to the ground and could not get up again. Blood seeped out from beneath him, in large patches.

Immediately, a long knife was cut down, and Li Rugui's head was in a different place.

It was carried by a hand, but it was delivered to Azig in a few moments.

Azig didn't look at Li Rugui's head much, but said coldly: "How many people died?" ”

"Nearly a hundred." A general in white armor bowed his head and said.

"Nearly a hundred, with more fights and fewer fights, and so many dead and wounded." Azig said: "Is that what you do? ”

"Please punish the master." This general did not dare to raise his head, but only dared to bow his head and confess.

Before the Qing army entered the customs, the armor of the Qing army was still very scarce. Only the most elite soldiers are allowed to wear armor.

Therefore, the old slave selects elite soldiers from among the soldiers and gives them armor, which is the so-called red armor soldiers, and from the red armor soldiers, the selection of the elite is the most elite force of the Qing army, that is, the white armor soldiers.

Under normal circumstances, the white-armored soldiers have three distant places, one is to protect the emperor, but as the vanguard of the army, and the third is to supervise the battle.

has always fought in front, through the mountains and mountains, such as repeatedly flattening the ground. Fighting against all parts of the Ming army, there has never been a fight that cannot be defeated.

Azig had only one army of white-armored and red-armored soldiers at his side, which was his escort.

He entered the customs from Dolgon, fought from Taiyuan to Xi'an, and fought from Xi'an to this place, with almost no casualties.

But today in Zaoyang City. But there were so many casualties.

And the casualties were also divided into two places, the first was when the city was captured, although it was a sneak attack at that time.

But the Xia army occupied the terrain after all.

The two sides fought, and the Qing army suffered many casualties.

And the second place is when it enters the county government.

If there were the first casualties, Azig still expected it. But the second casualty was much more than he expected.

After Azig disposed of this general, the gloomy look on his face barely eased.

Azig dark

said: "Cao Ying's combat power seems to be still above the camp, and it should not be underestimated. ”

Combat effectiveness is not constant.

With a stone battle, the main force of the camp was brutally defeated, and the other soldiers and horses of the camp were cowardly towards the Qing court.

This mentality will affect the combat power of the camp.

But Cao Ying doesn't feel this way now, on the contrary, when the morale of the people of Great Xia is high.

Since Cao Ying went down to the south of the Yangtze River, in the past two years, it can be said that he has been invincible and invincible.

Even more registered before Luo Rucai, turned the camp into a country, and Luo Rucai rewarded the whole army, each with a reward.

From the top, two kings and six dukes were sealed, but under the two kings and six dukes, Bohou sealed a lot, and the soldiers at the lower level also had rewards.

In many cases, the combat effectiveness of an army is directly related to money, and as long as the money is enough, the combat effectiveness is sufficient.

Although Cao Ying's financial capacity is lacking, it can still support such a large army.

Therefore, combat effectiveness can still be guaranteed.

And an experienced general like Azig felt the pressure just by touching it.

Azig must once again assess the strength of Cao Ying. He originally wanted to attack Suizhou from Zaoyang, and then go straight to Wuchang in a roundabout way.

But after Zaoyang was taken by surprise, Azig felt the need to change his plans.

"The decisive battle must start early." Azig said secretly in his heart.

Siege was not the Qing army's strong point.

Azig preferred a decisive battle to deal with the main force of Cao Ying, as if he were dealing with Chuang Ying.

There was a shocking victory to break the psychological defense line of Cao Ying, and the soldiers of Cao Ying were afraid when they saw the Qing army.

Just such a big battle. It's not up to Azig to do whatever he wants.

"Newspaper. Eight kings, the army of the Xia army has crossed the Han River and is coming from the direction of Dahong Mountain. ”

"Okay." Azig was overjoyed, and this was exactly what he was doing.

Dahong Mountain, west of Xianghan, south of Jianghan Plain.

The mountains are not too high, and the highest peak is only one or two thousand meters above sea level. Many of the peaks are only a few hundred meters away.

In the middle of the mountains, there are many roads that can be passed. However, Dahong Mountain is high in the east and low in the west, and the real peaks are all on the south side of Suizhou. There are many roads that can be passed through the roads of Dahong Mountain and Hanshui on the west side.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan is urging the army to move forward.

This situation is not what Zhang Xuan thinks, but he has no choice.

Zaoyang fell, and Zhang Xuan's expected Xianghan defense line was missing an important corner. The Qing army had a way out of the east.

Although there are still Xia troops in the area of Suizhou Yingcheng, they are all Li Rugui's subordinates, and Zhang Xuan has not been in contact with him before, so he still trusts Li Rugui.

But for Li Rugui's subordinates, Zhang Xuan was not sure.

If the Qing army marched eastward, Zhang Xuan would be unable to catch up, and he was separated from Suizhou by mountains and rivers, and if he wanted to go to Suizhou, he would either follow the Qing army behind him or go around

Dao thousands of miles, even from Wuchang to send troops to correspond, it is more convenient than him now.

Although Wuchang is not empty, the threat of the Changsha Longwu regime is still there, and Wuchang's troops cannot be mobilized.

In case Nan Ming took advantage of the loophole, even if Zhang Xuan won the battle of Xiangyang, it would be useless.

Zhang Xuan only felt at this moment that his experience was lacking in everything. To truly control an army of hundreds of thousands, he is still flawed.

He thought it was a seamless formation, but with a slight movement of Azig, a big hole was poked out.

Zhang Xuan's plan to wait for change fell through. Zhang Xuan thought about it all night, but he didn't come up with any perfect plan.

But time waits for no one.

At this juncture, there is not much time left for Zhang Xuan to decide. Because any news that reaches Zhang Xuan's hands is no longer first-hand news.

Zhang Xuan must make a prediction according to the development trend of the war.

Zhang Xuan finally made a decision to leave Luo Rucai in Yicheng and 30,000 soldiers under the leadership of Hei Yunxiang to protect Luo Rucai.

And the real power is in the hands of Luo Yujiao.

Zhang Xuan, with an army of nearly 100,000, was ready to cross the Dahong Mountain and appear in the south of Zaoyang City, and had a tough battle with the Qing army.

This is this battle, faster than Zhang Xuan imagined, and much faster.

When Zhang Xuan arrived at the new episode, he received the latest news.

Xinji is in the western section of Dahongshan, a large town between the two mountains.

However, the Dahong Mountain is not very steep, that is, between the two mountains, there is a width of more than ten miles.

Enough for a big fight.

"Zaoyang City has calmed down, and it seems that someone has seen the head of Qingyang Gong." Zheng Lian said.

After Zhang Xuan listened, he was silent for a while.

He recalled Li Rugui, with whom he did not have much contact. But Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart.

tied for the six dukes of Great Xia, and after only a few days of hard work, he was in a different place.

Zhang Xuan said: "Your Majesty, I request that the Duke of Qingyang be posthumously crowned as the king of the county. ”

"Yes." Zheng Lian hurriedly wrote a recital.

At this moment, the jade seal of Great Xia is in Luo Yujiao's hands, and this kind of music is accurate, so you don't need to think about it at all.

"Guogong. The latest news, the Qing army has moved, and the army is heading south and coming to us. ”

Zhang Xuan's heart moved, but he was relieved at this moment.

When the two armies fought, it was the second half, and the first half was all kinds of preparations and calculations.

In this kind of strategic layout, Zhang Xuan has a sense of powerlessness, but in a simple battle, Zhang Xuan is familiar with it. How many times I have beaten down, I have long been familiar with it.

In this way, into the rhythm that Zhang Xuan is familiar with.

"Pass the order." Zhang Xuan said: "All the armies camped on the spot and sent people to occupy the peaks on both sides. ”

"Ready for battle."

"Yes." Zheng Lian said.
