Chapter 182: Attacking the Sword Gate
A few moments later, Wu Sangui and Li Guohan, who were five miles away, also received a report from the spies.
"Report, the traitor is in formation five miles away."
Wu Sangui waved his hand at it: "Explore again." ”
After that, Wu Sangui looked at Li Guohan beside him and said, "Zhu Youlang is still quite courageous, and he dares to fight with us in the field."
Hearing this, Li Guohan understood what Wu Sangui meant, isn't this what he led the cavalry over to attack a wave.
"King, don't worry, I'll go to meet Zhu Youlang now."
After that, Li Guohan immediately drove his horse away, and a few moments later, Li Guohan ordered more than 10,000 elites to ride out.
Half an hour later, Li Guohan led the cavalry to stand at a distance of one mile from the Ming soldiers, and he looked at the Ming army's military formation.
"Report." A spy quickly reported: "The Ming army is in a camp surrounded by cars. ”
After Li Guohan took a deep breath, he drew his saber and pointed directly at the army formation and shouted: "Order, the whole army will attack."
As he spoke, Li Guohan drove his horse away, and the Chinese army immediately followed, and more than 10,000 cavalry rushed left and right in two divisions, and they all went with triangular arrows.
"Report, the enemy cavalry has reached 200 paces away." When Li Guohan's troops advanced to 200 steps, a banner soldier immediately shouted to Zhu Youlang.
Zhu Youlang put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand and shouted with a colorless face: "Fire."
Zhu Youlang gave an order, and a burst of bone cloud-piercing arrows immediately shot out, and a burst of tiger roars sounded, and then, the triangular ring car battalion began to fire cannons on three sides.
By the time the Buddha was fired, Li Guohan's department had already reached a hundred paces away, and all the Buddha machines were loaded with loose bullets, and hundreds to hundreds of lead bullets were quickly attacked by Li Guohan's department.
When the artillery fire arrived, Li Guohan's troops screamed and fell off their horses, but Li Guohan's cavalry rushed forward without fear of death, but the big and small Buddha of the car battalion seemed to be endless.
After several rounds of artillery bombardment, Li Guohan's troops finally rushed to the front of the formation 30 paces, and at this time, the infantry in the formation immediately formed a formation of flags, and the formation was horizontally arranged, and the three flags were shot in turn.
Li Guohan's cavalry fell in batches, and after stopping for dozens of breaths, the big and small Buddha wolf machines began to shoot long-haired cannons again, and immediately Li Guohan's cavalry retreated in defeat.
Just because there was no breakthrough point in the Ming army's formation, when they reached the front of the army, they were shot with muskets that were set on fire.
Li Guohan looked at the cavalry who returned from defeat, his face flashed with a hint of displeasure, but he had no choice, he really couldn't speak, at this moment, in the car formation, the chariot door was wide open, and the infantry rushed out quickly with the team flag.
In a few moments, those who came out first formed a formation to defend, and those who came out later became with the formation, Li Guohan saw this, and immediately attacked the whole army.
But just as Li Guohan finished reorganizing his troops, the infantry walked forward in an inverted figure-eight formation.
The Ming soldiers marched on foot, even with muskets in hand, when Li Guohan's cavalry charged at the infantry again.
The Ming soldiers all took the flag as a formation, and the three flags formed three columns, and under the flag, they fired a salvo with the flag, and the Cheying Buddha wolf machine was replaced with a real lead bullet, and shelled Li Guohan's department.
For a time, countless artillery fires rushed towards Li Guohan, and when Li Guohan's troops advanced to fifty paces, before his cavalry began to shoot arrows, the Ming soldiers opened fire on Li Guohan under the command of the banner.
For a while, Li Guohan's troops fell off their horses and died, just when Li Guohan was happy to see the cavalry pay a big price and rush to the eyes of the Ming soldiers, but the next scene made him not condense his life.
Because the Ming soldiers saw the cavalry in front of them, they didn't even blink their eyes, they took the team as the formation and the three or two as the formation, and launched the assassination.
However, what disappointed Zhu Youlang was that the infantry and cavalry fought against each other, and they did not take any advantage, seeing this, Zhu Youlang put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and he looked at the flag officer on the side.
"Order, cross cover and retreat to the car formation."
After Zhu Youlang gave an order, a wave of flags waved, bursts of golden sounds rose, and the three of Jiao Lian, Yulong, and Wang Xing, who were in the infantry formation, immediately led the troops to retreat.
At this time, Li Guohan's troops also suffered a large number of casualties, and they had the intention of retreating, and when they saw that the Ming soldiers began to retreat, Li Guohan wanted to give the order to attack, but the Ming soldiers retreated while fighting, and they were not retreating as they thought at all.
After thinking about it again, Li Guohan looked at the cavalry with more than half of the casualties, and he gave the order to return to the army, and when the Ming soldiers saw Li Guohan's troops retreating, the Ming soldiers accelerated and retreated.
Half an hour later, Zhu Youlang received a report that in this battle with the enemy cavalry, there were five or six thousand casualties, which was only the same as that of Li Guo's court.
However, thinking that Wu Sangui's army was in the future, Zhu Youlang ordered to General Yijin Yiyi Wei Dahan.
"Order, Gao Yigong immediately rushed to Daba Mountain and captured the Sword Gate, I only need the result, and I don't need any number of enemies and my own casualties."
Looking at the general of the Jinyi Wei Han who had been ordered to go, Zhu Youlang raised the clairvoyant mirror again to look at the Qing soldiers in front of him, and in a few moments, Wu Sangui's royal flag appeared in front of Zhu Youlang.
"Your Majesty, Wu Sangui has arrived."
"Hmm." Zhu Youlang put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand and looked around at the generals around him: "This battle sticks to this place, the victory is in the Sword Gate, as long as Gao Yigong takes the Sword Gate, then Wu Sangui will not be far away." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Jiao Lian, Wang Xing, and Yu Long replied loudly.
Wu Sangui looked at Li Guohan, who was like a defeated rooster, and he persuaded with his usual face: "Brother Li doesn't have to be kind, Zhu Youlang will die." ”
As he spoke, Wu Sangui looked at the generals around him: "Attack immediately and bring Zhu Youlang's head to this king." ”
Wu Sangui can see clearly, there can be an imperial flag in the Ming army, seeing this, Wu Sangui's heart is excited, if Zhu Youlang can be defeated here, then the southwest can be defeated without attacking.
A few moments later, Wu Sangui led the troops, and the Ming soldiers began to shell, and from time to time, muskets fired volleys in formations.
Just when Zhu Youlang and Wu Sangui were fighting, Gao Yigong, Wang Jincai, and other generals who were in a hurry like ants falling into the pot in Chongqing received Zhu Youlang's order.
After looking at it, Gao Yigong immediately found the map, and when he saw the Jianmen of Daba Mountain in Sichuan, Gao Yigong understood Zhu Youlang's intentions.
You must know that Hanzhong enters Sichuan, there is only one way to go, that is to cross the Daba Mountain Sword Gate, if you win the Sword Gate, Wu Sangui will be defeated.
Seeing this, Gao Yigong immediately gathered all the soldiers and went straight to Boryeong with only the firearms battalion and infantry soldiers.
Although Wu Sangui led his troops to rush to the front of the chariot formation several times, they were all repelled by the infantry that came forward, and when the two sides fought until the evening, both sides tacitly chose a truce.
"Report, Boryeong urgent."
Just as Wu Sangui and Li Guohan were discussing the transfer of Hongyi cannons from the rear, they heard the order to come.
When Wu Sangui read the emergency report, his face changed greatly: "The Ming soldiers have such courage to ignore the emperor and take Baoning directly." ”
However, when Wu Sangui opened the map, he was staring at the sword gate of Daba Mountain.
"Brother Li, whether we gamble or not in this battle, if we capture Zhu Youlang, then even if he occupies Daba Mountain, we will not have all, but we can't capture and kill Zhu Youlang, then we will lose."
Li Guohan also understood that what Wu Sangui said was true, but at this time, Li Guohan was thinking about the other second-way army.
"The Second Route Army of Huguang and Jiangxi, if we can do it, we won't have it."
Wu Sangui looked at Li Guohan and said: "It doesn't matter whether they succeed or fail in the current situation, you must know that there are many elite soldiers and good generals in Erguang, and now we can only rely on ourselves."
