Chapter 821: Lost Soldiers

In the end, You Shiwei, Hou Shilu, Fierce Tiger and other generals unanimously recognized that Xiong Wencan's 250,000 horses were the main force, and their 50,000 or 60,000 were just partial divisions, and Xi'an and Xianyang still had a new force of nearly 100,000 trilateral governors.

If you are a partially, you have to have the consciousness of standing aside, don't fight for merit, just don't lose people.

No matter how the governor of Shaanxi Wu Fu urged, the men and horses just refused to march more than 30 miles a day.

The eunuch Wang Zhixin is a greedy person, and nine times out of ten greedy people are afraid of death.

When Wu Zimian sent benefits to Wang Zhixin, he frightened the great eunuch army, asserting that if they appeared near Xi'an first, they would be surrounded and annihilated by 60,000 or 70,000 Manchu and Mongolian cavalry and hundreds of thousands of rogues.

It is very likely that they will be defeated and lose their troops and lose their generals, and at the same time, the strength of the Qing army and the rogues will be consumed, and the pressure on Xiong Wencan and Hong Chengchou's men and horses will be reduced.

The final result may be that Xiong Wencan and Hong Chengchou made contributions, and their main generals and supervisors were questioned by the imperial court.

Wu Zimian's strategy was to let Xiong Wencan's army fight the enemy first, and when he found that the Ming army had the upper hand, he asked the prison army to lead everyone to pounce and beat the water dogs.

Seeking advantage and avoiding harm, Wang Zhixin, the corrupt generation's favorite, of course he supports Wu Zimian and other generals.

The next result is very good, there is no need for the generals to obey the yang and the yin, Wang Zhixin used the status of the supervisor to order Wu Zimian, You Shiwei and other generals to fight steadily and steadily, and never give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it.

On the way to the army, as long as there is a city that is still under the control of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Zhixin will take advantage of the convenience of the Son of Heaven and his ministers to ask to enter the city and station.

Wu Zimian and others also made two preparations, they prevented the general from misjudging the general, the Ming army with the advantage of troops pressed in, and the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry who refused to consume retreated, and those rogues would definitely be beaten to cry and cry for their mother.

Wouldn't this be self-defeating? Led to a good opportunity to make a difference?

They sent dozens of teams of scouts, all of whom were mainly henchmen, the purpose was that once they found that Xiong Wencan's troops had gained an advantage, their men and horses immediately gathered cavalry to pick peaches and grab credit.

Wu Fu, the governor, is a native of Xinghua, Yangzhou, with excellent medical skills, and is friends with famous doctors such as Li Zhongzi and Wu Youxing, and is suitable to be the president of the new hospital of "benevolence, righteousness and faith".

Now he has been hollowed out by Wu Zimian, You Shiwei and other generals and the eunuch Wang Xinxin.

In the early morning of March 30, the sky was slightly bright, and this day should be the beginning of the Ming Dynasty going to the abyss.

Xiong Wencan didn't know that his generals Cao Cao, Luo Rucai, the eight kings, Zhang Xianzhong, the reincarnated king, Liu Xiyao, and the troubled king Lin Chengcheng, had already contacted Gao Yingxiang.

The Ming army heard each other in the joint camp at the western foot of the Huashan Mountains for more than ten miles, and suddenly it was like a muffled thunder, and the earth was trembling.

Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Ma Shouying and others personally led the 30,000 cavalry of the old camp, and Azig led 50,000 Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry to roar.

Immediately, many camps caught fire, and the shouts were earth-shattering: "Brothers, kill officials and rebel!" Catch Xiong Wencan's stupid bird and reward 1,000 taels of silver. ”

"Brothers, do a good job, kill the 'thief general' Zuo Liangyu, and be promoted to three levels in a row!"

"Don't go, Mu Wenshou! Brothers kill! ”

"Where is the thief Liu Zeqing going, take your life!"

"Sons, Zu Kuan's house has run east, everyone else can let it go, but you can't let him escape, catch up quickly......"

A melee began, the Ming army wolf rush can not form an effective resistance at all, most of the deputy general Huang Degong's men and horses came from the Beijing camp, although there were only three or four thousand people, but the cavalry was as high as more than 1,000, he hurriedly escorted Xiong Wencan to Tongguan direction and fled.

Zu Kuan's cavalry was of very high quality, and he was promoted by Xiong Wencan, and at this time, he and Zu Keyong and Xu Changyong struggled to protect the Chinese army to break through.

However, they were all generals who betrayed the Manchu Qing and returned to the Ming Dynasty, and they had already registered with Chongde.

The Manchurian cavalry wanted to capture or kill them, and when they saw the ancestral banner, they were as excited as if they had beaten chicken blood, and they even let Huang Degong and Xiong Wencan kill their ancestors.

Zu Kuan is not an ordinary person, leading more than 2,000 cavalry under his command to rush left and right, and is the team that kills the most enemies among the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops, but there are too many cavalry in Manmeng and Liukou.

really responded to the sentence "If you have the intention to kill the thief, you can't return to the sky!" "There were basically no surrenderers in this Biao people, including Zu Kuan, Zu Keyong, and Xu Changyong, who all died of exhaustion in bloody battles.

Zu Kuan in history did not become a traitor, but was killed by Chongzhen for the crime of "losing the feudal domain", and now the result is actually not bad, he fought with the Qing army to the last moment should be able to get the posthumous glory.

It was also because of the collective sacrifice of Zu Kuanbu that Huang Degong's department and the cavalry of the Chinese army won time to break through the encirclement and flee to the direction of Tongguan.

Zuo Liangyu was not given in vain, the number of the family team and the personal guard cavalry under his command was as high as 5,000, he didn't care about it at this time, and directly threw down 70,000 or 80,000 infantry and fled.

Mu Wenshou's men and horses are all soldiers, and due to limited conditions, the cavalry company is insufficient.

The main generals under his command, Mu Wenlu, Mu Haixi, Mu Haiqi, Mou Shixiao, Mou Shixing, Mu Guoheng, Mu Haixin, Mou Shichun, Mou Shilong, Mou Shijiao, Mu Guodong, Mu Guoxuan, etc., are all brothers or nephews of Mou Wenshou.

This kind of army is relatively united, and when it is encamped, it is deliberately separated from other battalions, and when there is chaos around, Mu Wenshou's more than 20,000 men and horses do not fall into chaos, they form a formation and retreat to the mountains while fighting.

As long as the infantry maintains the array in the face of a surprise attack, the sword and shield men defend against the arrows they shoot, and the pikemen block the cavalry onslaught, they have a chance to leave the battlefield.

The army with the township party and clansmen as the main body was able to live and die together, and their array was never defeated, although Mu Wenshou's men and horses suffered great losses, they did not form a rout, and more than half of the men and horses retreated to the direction of Shangzhou.

Comparatively speaking, the Henan soldiers of the deputy general Chen Yongfu were much worse, and the seven or eight thousand people were scattered in an instant, and most of them chose to surrender on their knees.

Liu Zeqing's Shandong men and horses were not much better, and it was possible that they broke up without even killing a single Manchurian cavalry, and Liu Zeqing himself had only more than 100 ironclad soldiers left around him.

Liu Liangzuo often rides a variegated horse, known as the flower horse Liu, he was able to increase the official and become the chief military officer when he fought the Liukou in Susong, Luzhou, and Lu'an.

However, this tried-and-true chief officer who had fought with the Liukou stopped eating when he was attacked by the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry, and the more than 3,000 cavalry that he had finally accumulated only made contact with the Qing army broke up.

The final result was that Liu Liangzuo and more than 100 henchmen were chased to heaven and earth by hundreds of Tartars, and most of the more than 10,000 men and horses became captured by the rogues and the Qing army.
