Chapter 444: The Death of the Guanning Army (3)
Gao Di only brought dozens of people, of course, it was impossible to block the impact of tens of thousands of Eight Banners. ∈ 8∈8∈ read ∈ books, .≦.o≧
In less than a moment, most of these dozens of people were killed and injured, and at the crossing of the mountain road, Gao Di himself was stabbed three times, and he almost couldn't even ride his horse.
At its peak, under the leadership of Yuan Chonghuan, it defeated tens of thousands of eight banners of Huang Taiji under the city of Beijing with a force of 9,000 people, and shocked the world.
At this moment, Gao Di's desperate bloody battle seemed to continue the last afterglow of Guan Ning's iron cavalry.
"Kill!" Gao Di spilled blood from his mouth, and rushed towards the Eight Banners Iron Rider in front of him with a hideous face.
After several rounds of fierce fighting, Gao Di and a Manchu White Flag soldier fell from their horses and died at the same time.
"Chase!"
Under the order of Dolgon, the Eight Banners once again fiercely pursued and killed Wu Sangui.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sky is gradually shining brightly, the night is about to pass, and the dawn is coming.
With Gao Di's desperate blocking, Wu Sangui and more than 20 remnants of the Guanning Army finally succeeded in entering the territory of Henan, which was already the boundary actually controlled by the Ming Dynasty, and the Manchurians would not easily come in.
Sure enough, when tens of thousands of Manchurian Eight Banners were about to rush into Henan, Dolgon ordered to stop the pursuit.
"Wu Sangui is right in front of him, in order not to chase!" Ao Bai couldn't help but ask loudly.
Dolgon and the others can already see Wu Sangui's back, if they continue to pursue, they will only need a distance to catch up, and when Wu Sangui only has more than 20 people around him, it will be impossible to escape!
Dolgon glanced at him with a cold look, and the cold inside made his heart palpitate.
The corners of Aobai's eyes jumped slightly, and he snorted coldly and didn't look over, not daring to look directly at Dolgon, in the end, Dolgon's prestige among the Qing army was still very high, and Aobai didn't dare to respond to his edge.
"The Guan Ning army has been destroyed, Wu Sangui is not a climate, there is no need to chase it anymore!" Dorgon said unquestionably.
In fact, the distance is not far from the Yellow River, they only need to chase to the edge of the Yellow River at most, and they will be able to kill Wu Sangui, but Henan is currently in the territory of the Ming Dynasty after all, and the border is guarded by the Ming army.
This is not to say that Eight Banners and he Dolgon were afraid of the Ming army, but there was no need to fight the Ming army at this time.
"Back to the army!" Dolgon gave an order, and tens of thousands of Eight Banners turned back.
As the roar of the earth gradually faded away, it indicated that the battle between Dolgon's siege and annihilation of the Guanning army and Wu Sangui was over, and the 40,000 Guanning army was wiped out except for Wu Sangui and more than 20 remnants, and the Guanning army existed in name only!
The Manchurians themselves also suffered nearly 10,000 casualties and suffered a lot of damage.
After the curtain ended, Wu Sangui relaxed a lot after learning that the Manbaqi was no longer pursuing.
Looking at the only two dozen or so soldiers of the Guanning Army around him, Wu Sangui was sad from the heart, and his whole heart was bleeding.
Although he himself escaped a catastrophe, but the Guan Ning army under his command is equivalent to the annihilation of the whole army, this is his capital based on the world, and now there is no war like this, how many brothers have died in battle, even Gao Di has died, and there is no one left of the generals of the Guan Ning army.
No, there are a few left.
When Dongguan Town was attacked by the Manchurian Eight Banners, those people surrendered to the Manchurians at the first time.
Now, Wu Sangui didn't need to think about it to know that those people must have been bought by Dolgon in advance, and the reason why he estimated the time when the wrong letter was lost was because of those people.
"Hateful!" Wu Sangui gritted his teeth, and angrily looked up to the sky and screamed sadly, eager to eat the flesh of those people raw.
With Wu Sangui's cry of sorrow, the war horses of the two remnants of the Guanning Army died suddenly, and the remaining war horses are all the first-class war horses that guarded Shanhaiguan back then, and it is a miracle that the fourth-class war horses that joined in halfway can support it at this moment.
This scene added to the tragedy of the destruction of the Guanning army.
"Let's go! Go to Rongyang! Wu Sangui gritted his teeth and said.
Rongyang, located between Luoyang and Kaifeng south of the Yellow River, was the station of Yang Kun's army.
Yang Kun was Wu Sangui's number one confidant, when the Ming army conquered Henan, under the order of Wu Sangui, with 100,000 troops to surrender to the Ming, in the war to exterminate Li Zicheng in the great battle, now is reorganized into the 32nd Army, guarding Rongyang.
The Red Lady is actually the supreme commander of the Henan Front, but intellectually, Wu Sangui doesn't want to see the Red Lady in this situation, he wants to rely on Yang Kun to make a comeback, Yang Kun is loyal to him, and the most unfortunate is that he can also control the 32nd Army under Yang Kun.
Only with a certain amount of capital in his hands did Wu Sangui dare to meet the Red Lady, and even Zhu Cijiao in Nanjing.
It's a pity that Wu Sangui's idea is good, but he doesn't have a chance.
Wu Sangui had not yet crossed the Yellow River, and in front of them, a red lady in a red uniform had been waiting for a long time with hundreds of men and horses.
"Mr. Wu, the red lady has been waiting for a long time, please follow me to board a boat and cross the river!" The red lady said with a smile. When she first met Wu Sangui, the red lady didn't know how to call Wu Sangui, so after thinking about it, she still called 'Wu Zongbing'.
On the surface of the Yellow River behind the Red Lady, dozens of boats were waiting there.
"Red Lady!" Wu Sangui's complexion changed, he couldn't imagine that the red lady would appear here so soon, after a hundred thoughts, Wu Sangui's complexion returned to normal, and then rode up to meet him.
"General Red Lady is like a god, the Guan Ning army was attacked by the Manchurians yesterday, and suffered a big defeat, and the 40,000 iron cavalry were almost wiped out, thanks to the Red Lady General who came to respond, so that I would not be starved in the wild!" Wu Sangui said quite boastfully.
This kind of polite remark can be heard by the red lady, but she is too lazy to expose Wu Sangui.
Immediately, Wu Sangui had no choice but to follow the Red Lady to board the ship and was taken to Kaifeng by the Red Lady.
Standing on the bow of the ship, looking at the north bank of the Yellow River, Wu Sangui was in a complicated mood, he had a hunch that Guan Ningjun would cease to exist from today onwards. From Sun Chengzong's founding of the Guanning Army to the present, after more than 20 years, Zeng Weizhen Guanwai, is the patron saint of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and has also opened the Shanhai Pass to take refuge in the Manchurians.
In the battle of Dongguan Town, the Qing army attacked with eight banners, and the Guanning army was wiped out.
This was an episode in the imminent decisive battle between the Ming and the Manchus, ending with the demise of the Guanning army.
