Chapter 187: Sword Capture Gate
After Gao Yigong saw through the clairglass that the soldiers had already stood on the sword gate and closed it, he immediately gave the order to attack on the whole line.
At the sound of the order, more than 40,000 people, whether they were reserve or soldiers resting in rotation, rushed towards the Sword Gate.
Finding the trap through a large number of casualties in the front allows those who rush forward to effectively avoid being hurt again.
The Ming soldiers who fought on the Jianmen Pass immediately launched the second discussion array and the three talent formations, or the Mandarin Duck Formation, and fought against the enemy.
Although the enemy is not afraid of death, the Ming soldiers are still like turtles, looking at more and more Ming soldiers, the Qing soldiers are frantically rushing towards the Ming soldiers.
Whether it is a flag soldier or a green battalion soldier, they are all carefully selected elite soldiers, and they have what will happen if they let the Ming soldiers gain a foothold, so they will rush down the Ming soldiers even if they don't want to die.
But after a steady stream of Ming soldiers rushed up from behind, their number was already small, even if they were fully prepared for this, but they were still rushed up by a large number of Ming soldiers.
When a banner general watched more and more Ming soldiers rush up, and wanted to light the gunpowder on the gate in disappointment, a green battalion soldier immediately stopped him.
"General, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood."
However, at this moment, the sharpshooters of the firearms battalion who had already rushed up had already set their eyes on this general, and before the general of the banner man could move, a burst of gunfire rang out.
The banner general immediately fell to the ground, his eyes seemed to see the situation of his horse in Sichuan that day, after a few breaths, the general stared at the sky, as if full of unwillingness.
The battle was until the evening, the entire sword pass was cleared of the enemy, Gao Yigong stood on the sword pass, he held a clairvoyant mirror and looked at the edict in the distance.
"General, this battle report has been prepared." Wang Jincai came to Gao Yigong with a lost face.
Gao Yigong took a look, his face became sad, there were more than 10,000 dead in this battle, and more than 20,000 wounded, which was more than half of the casualties, although he had already guessed what casualties would be in this battle, but he was still sad to see such a real number.
"Give the order to go down, bury our brothers on the spot, and those who are intact after that will attack tomorrow when the rooster crows."
"General." Wang Jincai persuaded sadly: "The soldiers are already extremely tired, should we rest for a few days?"
Gao Yigong's eyes glared when he heard this: "Your Majesty fought against Wu Sangui's 100,000 soldiers with 30,000 soldiers, what do you think this is, don't say half of the casualties, even if they are all dead, we will all take Guangyuan, let this leak be completely blocked, and then there will be 100,000 people of Wu Sangui to bury me, what is not satisfied." ”
Speaking of this, Gao Yigong pointed at those soldiers with a somewhat crazy expression: "They want to be glorious and rich, and they want to spare their lives, how can this be obtained, besides, Your Majesty has repeatedly decreed that we will take the Sword Gate Pass without the price, you are also a person who knows the soldiers, don't you know the importance of the Sword Gate." ”
Hearing this, Wang Jincai nodded sadly: "I understand all this, but more than half of the soldiers are killed and wounded, can they still fight, at this time, the soldiers are tired and sad." ”
You must know that they eat, live and train together in the army, and they are already like brothers, and they see the lives of their brothers who trained together and fought together disappear in front of their eyes, how can they not be sad.
"Your Majesty has ordered She Yonghe to come, and I think it will be imminent, so it doesn't matter if we fail, as long as we hold the sword pass, then Wu Sangui will be difficult to fly."
"It's the general."
Three hours after Gao Yigong won the Jianmen Pass, Zhu Youlang received the battle report from Jinyiwei urgently.
"Your Majesty, Gao Yigong has a letter back." As soon as Ding Siliang received the battle report from Jinyiwei, he immediately sent it to Zhu Youlang.
Zhu Youlang, who was staring at the map, heard the sound, and immediately took the battle report from Ding Siliang, and when Qing Gao had won the Sword Gate Pass, Zhu Youlang was overjoyed.
"The order, the whole army immediately retreated to Fotu Pass, and there was no need to fight with the enemy."
A few moments later, Jiao Lian, Yulong, and Wang Xing, who were holding on in three directions, received Zhu Youlang's order, and they also brought the news that Gao Yigong had already taken the Sword Gate.
Seeing this, Jiao Lian, Yu Long, and Wang Xing immediately understood that Wu Sangui was going to fight hard, and most of the battle of Sichuan had been won.
Half an hour later, the whole army retreated according to the banner, even if the soldiers were extremely tired physically and mentally at this time, at this time the three guards had more than half of the casualties, if there was no news from the Jianmen Pass, Zhu Youlang also wanted to retreat into the Fotu Pass.
"King, the Ming soldiers have retreated again." As soon as Zhu Youlang retreated, a spy immediately reported back to Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui's face was pulled, he couldn't understand what Zhu Youlang meant, in the past few days, Zhu Youlang retreated as soon as he stopped, and he advanced in a battle, and dragged more than 100,000 people of Wu Sangui here, even if Wu Sangui wanted to divide his troops to attack Chongqing, Zhu Youlang raised troops to attack and cooperate with the Chongqing defenders to defeat Wu Sangui's soldiers.
At this time, Wu Sangui's soldiers had also lost more than 40,000 people, if most of these soldiers were trained by him, and his henchmen and generals accounted for the majority, otherwise Wu Sangui would really not be able to suppress this army.
"If he retreats, then he will attack, we will not be comfortable, and he will be even more uncomfortable." After thinking for a moment, Wu Sangui shouted fiercely.
Wu Sangui knew that Zhu Youlang's casualties would never be small at this time, not to mention, he used Hongyi cannons to bombard Zhu Youlang's soldiers all the time.
"Report, Guangyuan urgent report." As soon as Wu Sangui's words fell, a hurried voice came.
When Wu Sangui heard this, his face immediately became gloomy, and when he took the secret report and looked at it, he almost vomited blood, because the sword gate had been lost.
After a while, Wu Sangui calmed down strongly, and he handed this secret report to Li Guohan: "This battle can't go on. ”
Li Guohan took a look, his face was extremely ugly, and he couldn't imagine that the Qing court was so slow to react at this time, in fact, it was not that the Qing court was slow to react, but that he had no soldiers to adjust.
"Brother Wu, are you doing your best to keep Zhu Youlang here now?" Li Guohan remembered what Wu Sangui said at the time, as long as he won Chongqing, he would be invincible.
Wu Sangui looked at the map and looked away lightly: "Zhu Youlang is well prepared, Chongqing can't fight." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to Hezhou: "We retreat to Hezhou, which is surrounded by water on three sides, and most importantly, we can go out of Sichuan from Fangyuan by boat." ”
Saying that, Wu Sangui frowned and looked at the map and said, "Plunder the place, and then concentrate on retreating to Hezhou."
"It's the king."
The generals around Wu Sangui were ordered to go, these generals were all generals who followed him from Jinzhou, they were all confidants and generals that Wu Sangui relied on, even if they were weak at this time, they were still loyal to Wu Sangui.
And when Zhu Youlang received the news that Wu Sangui was going to be shot and plundered by Wu Sangui, he had already returned to Fotu Pass.
"Wu Sangui." Zhu Youlang stared at the information in his hand.
Just when Zhu Youlang was thinking about Wu Sangui's next move, Ding Siliang's voice came in.
