[233] Battle of the White Rock River

At this time, Wu Sangui's troops marched from Duyun in Guizhou and took Anlong directly, and the offensive was very fierce. Entering the Luoyan Ferry on the Panjiang River, the Onishi soldiers defended according to the danger and sank the ship and were not allowed to advance. Wu Sangui got Tusiling Jilu in Sicheng as his guide, took out the sunken ship, crossed the river by night, and captured Anlong. The general soldier Zhang Qi was killed in battle, Li Dingguo's deputy general Zhang Chengyi, who came to the rescue, was also killed in battle, and the general Wu Zisheng was defeated and fled. Li Dingguo received the report and led 30,000 soldiers to reinforce him, and fought a fierce battle with the Ming army of Wu Sangui at the Luoyan River and Liangshuijing near Anlong. The Ming army fired guns and cannons, and the Great Western Army sent bows and arrows, and the victory was not divided. After nearly half a day of fierce fighting, the troops of Daxi were outstretched, Li Dingguo panicked, abandoned the camp and fled, and retired to Beipanjiang. When the soldiers of all towns saw Li Dingguo's defeat and left, they also scattered in a hurry. In this battle, more than 30 people were killed in Li Dingguo's army, and Wu Sangui's department entered Yunnan from Pu'an Prefecture.

Li Xin defeated Feng Shuangli on the back of the chicken, chased to the Beipan River, the generals of Daxi rushed to flee, Li Dingguo was alone after the new defeat, ordered to burn the chain bridge, and retreated to Kundaxi. Ainengchi also fled back. In several wars, Onishi suffered heavy losses, "zombies are everywhere, and blood is in the canal". No less than three or four hundred thousand soldiers and civilians died, and these soldiers and horses who died in battle were the elite of Hunan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou in the past eleven years, and died in a hundred battles! Onishi's vitality was greatly damaged

The Ming army then made a pontoon bridge to cross the Panjiang River and reached Qujing, and the Qujing prefect Gaishilu set up in Daxi surrendered. In mid-March, the Third Route Army met here. The Ming army advanced to Qujing, only a few hundred miles away from Kunming, and the Daxi regime was facing annihilation!

Li Dingguo was defeated and retreated, and when he returned to Kunming, Sun Kewang had just set off from Kunming. Sun Kewang felt that the matter was very important, and the military situation was urgent, so he immediately called a meeting of the ministers. Liu Wenxiu avoided the Ming army, set out from Dali, attacked Jianchang in southern Sichuan, and opened up another base area. Liu Wenxiu said: "There are 30,000 elite soldiers, between Liping, Yazhou, Jianchang, and Yuezhou, there are 200,000 yuan in gold, and the minister general Hao Chengyi knows it. Zaidong Company sent troops from thirteen families (referring to the remnants of the peasant army such as Hao Shaoqi) out of Shaanxi and Luo, and perhaps he could turn defeat into victory. ”

Gu Yantai, the Zhengqing of Taifu Temple, supported Liu Wenxiu's opinion and advocated retreating to Sichuan, opening up the wasteland and cultivating the wasteland, and making a plan for recovery. Zhongshu Jin Gongtoe strongly objected, insisting that it was not good for entering Sichuan.

Li Dingguo also disagreed, saying: "Yuer Jianchang, how can you afford an army of 100,000? It is better to enter the Hunan Pass, Wucheli, and the barbarians in the corners are not under the same command, and as soon as our army arrives, they will not refuse. The eldest brother is training in the mountain, and the generals are set up in the pass, and if you win, the six edicts will be restored to me, and if you don't win, you will enter the Jiaolu. ”

Some people objected to this, saying: "If the Ming soldiers take advantage of the victory and step on the Huangcao Dam, the roads of Linyuan and Guangnan will be interrupted; And after being defeated, how can you organize your troops to meet the enemy army with a sharp edge? ”

Ai Nengqi put forward a new suggestion: "Since the west reaches Myanmar, its land can be funded, and the border is far away. ”

"Bastard~" Sun Kewang scolded: "It's all bastards, the enemy hasn't arrived yet, so you want to escape, do you have the courage to let the dogs eat it?" ”

Li Dingguo persuaded: "Our army is newly defeated, and a quick battle may not be good for our army." ”

Sun Kewang said loudly: "I have made up my mind, and I will fight a decisive battle with the Ming army in Qujing." ”

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

After the Ming army set out from Anshun, they marched day and night to Qujing at the fastest speed. Entering the territory of Qujing in the early morning, it was foggy, a few steps away, and the scenery was not argued. The Ming army braved the fog to walk, and when they did not travel for a long time, suddenly a large river with a width of about a few miles appeared in front of them, blocking the way, and had to stop, this river was the Baishi River.

Because he didn't know what the river was in front of, the striker Kong Youdebu stopped advancing by the river. By noon, the fog had lifted, and Kong Youde was shocked to find that the Great Western Army had been deployed on the other side of the Baishi River.

Deployed in Baishijiang was the Great Western Army Ai Nengqi, who had already deployed heavy troops in Baishijiang, so when the Ming army suddenly appeared in front of the Great Western Army, the Great Western Army did not panic at all. The Baishi River is only a few miles wide, and even hiking is possible in shallow places. The two sides fought several times in the area of the Baishi River, and each other won and lost.

The Baishi River is a tributary of the Nanpan River, which runs back to the north and south flanks of Qujing Dam from east to west. The river is one kilometer away from Qujing City, the middle and upper reaches of the terrain are treacherous, it is the intersection of the ancient northbound ancient ballistic track and Pu'an Road, and it is the throat fortress of Qujing and the necessary place to open up Yunnan in history. It's wide and vast. It has always been a natural barrier in the north of Qujing,

Li Xin suggested: "We can follow the method of General Mu Ying to smuggle across the Baishi River back then, and on the one hand, bluff and make the whole army beat the golden drum and make a desire to cross; On the one hand, hundreds of swimmers were secretly dispatched, carrying flags and drums, crossing the river from the upper reaches first, along the area of the Liaokou Mountain, around the back of the Yuan army, blowing horns and beating drums, and planting flags in the deep forest as suspicious soldiers. Let the thief army think that they have been attacked by the enemy, and the thief soldiers will inevitably be in chaos, and if we enter the army from the front, Qu Jing can go down with one blow. ”

Gu Junen groaned: "The thief army arrived earlier than us, and the story of Mu Ying's smuggling of Baishi River has long been said in "The Legend of the Martyrs", is it feasible for us to use this method again?" ”

Song Youliang said with a smile: "I think this plan is feasible, that is, this strategy is known to all ages, so the thieves probably think that we will not draw a scoop based on the gourd, we can give it a try." ”

So Song Youliang sent Wu Sangui as the vanguard, selected 5,000 elite soldiers, and crossed the Baishi River from the upper reaches of the Liaokuo Mountain. Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, Zhang Yuliu, Tian Jianxiu, Zhang Nai, and Liu Tichun were the follow-up troops

Mt. Lyoko, formerly known as Myoko Mountain, is one kilometer southwest of Qujing City. It is located in the southwest suburbs of Qujing City. Liaokuo Mountain, also known as Shengfeng Mountain, originated from the Ming Dynasty Fu Youde, Lan Yu and others defeated the Yuan army here, and captured alive the Yuan army general Pingzhang political affairs Darima. In commemoration of the victory in this battle, this mountain is called Mt. Katsumine.

"The mountain here is high and the road is dangerous, the path is deep, and the buckling is only allowed to ride alone, which is really an excellent place to set up ambushes!" Li Dingguo was stationed at Ma Deshengfeng, and he asked the deputy general beside him: "Are all the soldiers and horses in place as scheduled?" ”

The adjutant general replied: "Tai'an Bodou's fame is the first volt, Guangchang Marquis Gao Wengui is the second volt, and Wujing Marquis Wang Guoxi is the third volt, all of them are in place, and 7,000 catties of explosives and 500 mines have been buried in the valley. ”

Li Dingguo said: "When the enemy army entered our army, it launched an attack at the beginning; igniting mines; I heard the sound of mines, and the second and third dogs were fired. Attacking head to tail, the enemy forces have no return. The ambushed army carried pre-made dry rations to prevent the Ming army from emitting smoke from cooking. ”

"Order!"

Li Dingguo finished deploying, just waiting for Wu Sangui to take the bait.

The next morning, as Li Dingguo expected, Wu Sangui led his troops into Liaokuo Mountain.

As soon as he entered the Liaokou Mountain, Wu Sangui raised his eyes and saw the dangerous terrain, and he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, this is a good place for ambush warfare! If I, Wu Sangui, had entered this place first, I would have set up an ambush here: wouldn't Li Dingguo have thought of this? Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked around carefully, the mountain was bare and empty, and listened attentively, there was no other sound except the wind, and there was no suspicious sign.

Could it be that I, Wu Sangui, are too careful? Could it be that Li Dingguo was chased so dizzy that he just wanted to flee for his life, and he didn't think of this move? Possibly. When people are in a panic, they often can't help but think it through. Thinking of this, Wu Sangui showed a smug look, and he ordered to enter Liaokou Mountain.

Two-thirds of Wu Sangui's team had entered a relatively flat section of the canyon. Seeing that the end of the other end of the canyon was already in sight, a man suddenly appeared on the rugged mountain road. As soon as Wu Sangui saw that there were people, there was a "boom" in his head, and he immediately shouted vigilantly: "It's not good, suspend the march!" ”

Soon, the stranger who suddenly appeared was brought to Wu Sangui's horse.

Wu Sangui stared at the man with straight eyes, looked up and down suspiciously, and asked, "Why are you alone in this deep valley?" ”

The stranger said with a frightened look: "The little surname is Lu Mingguisheng, who is appointed by the thieves as the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, and the thieves have set up an ambush in the mountains in front of them to wait for the general to enter the ......."

"Is that true?" Wu Sangui's fierce gaze swept over Lu Guisheng's face

"The villain doesn't dare to talk nonsense!" Lu Guisheng said with certainty

"Order, the whole army will race, and search and kill ambushes along the valley!" Wu Sangui ordered

Because they did not get the order, the ambush soldiers of the Great Western Army did not dare to go out to fight without authorization, and were assaulted by Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses, and suffered heavy casualties. Dou Fame had no choice but to order the cannon to go into battle; The two and three volts also fired their cannons and rushed into the enemy, and the two sides launched a thrilling battle.

Wu Sangui immediately ordered: "The front team will become the back team, concentrate all your strength on rushing back for me!" ”

As soon as the soldiers who were marching rapidly heard the order to stop, they knew that things might change, and the soldiers who were still tired and tired were like being splashed with ice water in the 39th day, and their spirits suddenly became alert. As soon as they heard the order to "rush back", they all gained courage and rushed towards the entrance of the canyon like a tide.

Li Dingguo, who was the commander-in-chief, was standing behind a big tree on the mountain, and when he saw Wu Sangui suddenly leading his troops to rush back, he immediately felt that something was wrong. He was extremely anxious and wanted to do it immediately, but Wu Sangui's rear team had not yet fully entered his ambush circle, and the urgent situation in front of him made him anxious. If you don't give the order again, I'm afraid that you will lose the fighter plane, let Wu Sangui run away, and the chance to make a chance must not be delayed again. Thinking of this, he immediately gave the order. Suddenly, the mountains were all over the field, and the war drums sounded in unison.

The general Dou Mingwang of Yifu is preparing to seal the mouth and cooperate with the second and third volts to annihilate the Wu army...... saw that the Wu army, which had been ambushed, suddenly turned around and rushed to kill, trying to break through. He took a few sips of the wine in the gourd around his waist and shouted, "Kill!" "Lead the outer soldiers to kill head-on.

A soldier was killed with Dou's fame. Like a flood bursting its banks, it was killed from the top of the slope.

The Ming army was fierce, and they rushed up towards the Wu army with red eyes one by one.

As soon as the two armies came into contact, a bloody battle began. Wu Sangui took the lead, led his Chinese army to rush to the front, entered the crowd like a storm, and struck left and right......

Because Wu Sangui's troops concentrated and assaulted all the way, the soldiers were brave and quickly defeated an ambush.

Dou Mingwang killed nearly 100 soldiers of the Wu army alone, which can be described as extremely brave! But he was finally killed by exhaustion...... All crashes in one volt!

"Turn around and kill me again! Forward! Wu Sangui gave the second order.

Wu Sangui quickly examined the battlefield in front of him, and he saw that there were many and dense banners on the valley slope to the west, and concluded that most of the thieves' army might be behind the western slope. And although there are many enemies on the eastern slopes, they must have poured out of their nests, and there are no more mobile forces. In the fierce battlefield of chaos and rapid changes, he immediately made a decision: to concentrate all his forces and forcefully attack the opponent's relatively weak eastern front......

This fashion is gratifying, Geng Zhongming, Zhang Yuliu, Tian Jianxiu, Zhang Nai, Liu Tichun and other non-reinforcements also rushed to the main station after hearing the news

Gao Wengui, the general of Erfu's leading troops, saw that Wu Sangui reflexively killed back, and he was also enraged, and led his army to rush down to the decisive battle.

Because the surprise nature is all gone, it becomes a frontal melee in the mountains, the fierce fighting is so tense that people can't breathe, the wildly jumping war horses are jumping vertically and horizontally, the soldiers of the two armies are wielding snow-bright war knives to fight each other to the death, when the blood blades intersect, there is a chilling collision sound, the cut down war horses are twitching in pain, the human voices and the corpses of the war horses fill the mountains, some are cut off their hands and feet, some are cut off the heavenly spirit cover, and the blood flowers are like rain......

Wu Sangui's eyes were already red, and his face was full of sticky blood. He yelled while chopping and chopping, seeing that he was so brave and fearless, even Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, Zhang Yuliu, Tian Jianxiu, Zhang Nai, and Liu Tichun applauded him.

Erfu's Gao Wengui army was also quickly defeated.

Li Dingguo concealed the command of the mountain, he saw that the flags were chaotic and the people were defeated, and the three volts had also lost their fighting spirit, knowing that the general trend had gone, he couldn't help but sigh: "How can God not help me Daming!" Then he took the rest of the three futs and retreated to the camp of Baishijiang
