Chapter 213: Meng Qiaofang Flees Xi'an
Just when Chen Youlong took Lintong, Xi'an had already started a flesh-and-blood battle, at this time in Xi'an, it was a declining Hong, Jinyiwei also fought wits and courage with the Qing generals, and the Qing soldiers had begun to collect the rations of the people of Xi'an, intending to fight a protracted war.
"General, those traitors raised by bitches, fighting with the Ming army and not seeing them use their lives so hard, now they come to fight us as if they have a great grudge." You Kewang came to Meng Qiaofang with a sweaty face and sighed.
Meng Qiaofang's face was solemn and said, "Lintong is broken." ”
As soon as Meng Qiaofang's words came out, You Kewang's face changed drastically and looked at Meng Qiaofang: "General, then, when will the reinforcements from the court arrive." ”
You Kewang, who is well aware of the situation in Shaanxi at this time, understands that if there is no strong reinforcements, it is only a matter of time before Xi'an is broken, even if Meng Qiaofang still has an army of 100,000 in his hands at this time, but the main general is condensed, the soldiers have no will to fight, and the army with unknown general actions has no combat effectiveness at all.
Meng Qiaofang looked away and said, "It's coming soon."
"It's coming." You Kewang's face was slightly disappointed and said: "General, we can't wait to the death, otherwise those crazy soldiers outside the city will swallow us."
Meng Qiaofang looked at the situation outside the city, and at this moment, the voice of Fu Kachan, the general of the Qing garrison in Xi'an, came.
"Brother Meng, the situation is not secondary."
A moment later, Fu Kachan appeared in front of Meng Qiaofang: "I haven't seen these soft bones have such combat power before. ”
Listening to Fu Kachan's words, Meng Qiaofang sighed slightly: "Xi'an can't be guarded."
As he spoke, Meng Qiaofang came to the map and pointed to Tongguan and said, "As soon as Lintong is broken, we will be alone."
Saying this, Meng Qiaofang suddenly became sad: "It's all my fault, if I don't want to fight back, we don't have to be so dangerous." ”
"Brother Meng, although the situation is dangerous, it is not bad to the ground, is Zhu Youlang still stronger than the Qing Dynasty, and when the elite soldiers of the Great Qing Dynasty arrive, then everything will be wiped out." Meng Qiaofang's expression was like that of a defeated general, and Fu Kachan persuaded confidently.
Hearing this, Meng Qiaofang smiled bitterly: "Ming Bing's intentions are already very obvious. ”
Meng Qiaofang waved at Shaanxi and finally pointed to Tongguan: "Tongguan is an important pass in the northwest, and the Ming soldiers will win it, and our defeat is not far away." ”
When Fu Kachan wanted to say something, Meng Qiaofang said again: "Even if the court army comes to help and destroys the Ming soldiers, it will also be our first death."
As soon as Meng Qiaofang's words came out, Fu Kachan immediately understood what Meng Qiaofang meant, and he lowered his head with a slightly disappointed face and said helplessly: "What should I do with you." ”
Originally, Fu Kachan came to find Meng Qiaofang to find an opportunity to go out of the city to fight with him, but now Fu Kachan has also become disturbed, because the Ming soldiers besieging Xi'an City did not see a large number of elite Ming soldiers, only those green battalion soldiers who came and went, coupled with the battle situation that came from time to time, Fu Kachan didn't understand, this was going to Tongguan.
A few moments later, Meng Qiaofang thought about the current situation, especially the situation of the enemy and me, Meng Qiaofang's face looked at Tongguan tightly: "Let's go to Tongguan, as long as we hold Tongguan, then Shaanxi will not be able to lose." ”
Hearing this, Fu Kachan followed Meng Qiaofang's finger and looked at Tongguan: "The strong walls of Xi'an City are high, and it is more beneficial for us to defend Xi'an than to go to Tongguan." ”
Meng Qiaofang looked away and said: "Xi'an is a city, after the Ming soldiers take Tongguan, it is useless for Xi'an to hold on, but guarding Tongguan is like opening the gate of Shaanxi. ”
When he said this, there were bursts of artillery bombardment outside the city, and the sound of shouting and killing mixed with screams came over.
"They're attacking again." Fu Kachan, who had just come down from the city tower, changed his face slightly.
Seeing this, Meng Qiaofang looked at Fu Kachan with a firm face and said, "Brother Fu, make a decision, if you wait until the Ming soldiers break through the Tong Pass, it will really be a bad second."
Meng Qiaofang understands that the hearts of the people in Shaanxi are not in the Qing court, coupled with the previous military rebellions, the people are already very disgusted with beating their fathers, coupled with Zhu Youlang's tax exemption and other policies, Meng Qiaofang does not think that after Zhu Youlang has gained a firm foothold in Shaanxi, the Qing court can make a comeback.
"Okay." After thinking for a while, Fu Kachan raised his head and looked at Meng Qiaofang and said: "According to what Brother Meng said, it's just that the families of the banner people are here, and there are not many troops in the city. ”
Meng Qiaofang's face showed a cold frost: "Hmph, there is still a way to live, if you don't go, you will die." ”
Seeing this, Fu Kachan also said a little helplessly: "That can only be so." ”
After agreeing on the details, Fu Kachan immediately walked to the barracks, knowing that there were six or seven thousand troops stationed in Xi'an at this time, and they were all elite soldiers who were good at fighting.
However, when Meng Qiaofang wanted to leave at night, because there was a steady stream of defenders from all over the country, Lin Shiwang ordered him to attack the city overnight after the initial reorganization.
At this time, in Xi'an City, Meng Qiaofang and Fu Kachan had also prepared for the post-sa matter, at this time Fu Kachan looked at the lost subordinates, he understood that it was unacceptable for them to give up their families, but the situation was like this, and it was impossible not to leave.
"General, the Ming soldiers are attacking fiercely at night, and General Daniel Zhang is fighting bloodily and can't leave for a while."
Looking at the soldiers running over, Meng Qiaofang closed his eyes slightly, and after thinking for a moment, Meng Qiaofang said with an expressionless face: "After we unfold the post-scatter, let Daniel Zhang gradually retreat into the city, and then follow the army."
"Yes, General."
Half an hour later, Fu Kachan led more than 6,000 elite soldiers of the Eight Banners to Changle Gate, and Meng Qiaofang dispatched the army to slowly follow Fu Kachan.
At this time, Meng Qiaofang only planned to take his henchmen Daniel Zhang, Chen Wanliu, Ma Ning, Liu Youyuan, Zhao Guangrui, Tong Tou, those generals who he could not control, Meng Qiaofang did not trust them at all, and did not plan to take them to Tongguan.
So after Fu Kachan rushed out, he immediately led his heart and abdomen to follow.
When Fu Kachan came out, the Ming soldiers thought at first that the Qing soldiers wanted to come out to fight with them, but when they found that they were repelling the Ming soldiers and quickly retreating outward, as soon as Meng Qiaofang's army appeared, Jinyiwei found that something was wrong.
You must know that for this retreat, Meng Qiaofang also told those henchmen and generals an hour ago, and only told the generals of the whole army half an hour later, and then gathered troops, all of them were lightly armed with only weapons, grain and grass.
This made the Jinyi guards in the city not have time to detect Meng Qiaofang's plan.
"General, the Tartars are fleeing."
Lin Shiwang, who was sleeping soundly, heard the soldiers shouting, and immediately got up and ran out of the camp: "What's the matter." ”
After the soldiers explained in detail the matter of Meng Qiaofang leading the troops out of the city, Lin Shiwang looked at the sky, which was the fourth watch at this time, and it was also the most tired time.
"First, immediately report to His Majesty, and second, order all the newly formed Shaanxi troops to immediately attack Xi'an, and order the battalions to immediately assemble and chase after the Tartars."
As soon as Lin Shiwang finished speaking, he immediately returned to the tent and came out with a saber piercing, and after Lin Shiwang gave an order, Meng Qiaofang and Fu Kachan, who had already deployed the whole army outside Xi'an, immediately followed the plan, so that his henchmen ran quickly towards Tongguan with Fu Kachan's elite of the Eight Banners, and behind him, Meng Qiaofang personally dispatched those distrustful generals to attack the Ming soldiers.
