Chapter 183: Transferring troops to Sichuan
After Wu Sangui and Li Guohan discussed all night, they decided to fight Zhu Youlang to the end here, all because the sword was closed in Baoning, and Baoning was dangerous, and Wu Sangui and Li Guohan believed in the local defenders.
Gao Yigong led Wang Jincai and Yuan Zongdi to lead the firearms battalion and infantry to Baoning, and the Hongyi cannon and car battalion behind him came by boat.
"Your Majesty, Jinyi Wei is in urgent charge." Just as Zhu Youlang was staring at the map, Ding Siliang came with a secret letter.
When Zhu Youlang opened the secret letter, his face became solemn, it turned out that Jinyi Wei detected that the Qing court asked Hong Chengchou and Luo Tuo to attack Ganzhou from Jiangxi, and Zhao Butai attacked Guilin from Huguang.
After Zhu Youlang flipped through the map Mu marked, he stared at Sichuan again, and after thinking for a while, Zhu Youlang pointed to Jianmen Pass.
"Let Gao Yigong take the Sword Gate for me at any cost, let Chen Youlong go north to Chengdu, let Lin Shiwang attack Jiading, let She Yonghe go straight to the Sword Gate with light equipment, let Li Dingguo must unify the army to defend Erguang, and make the cabinet must stabilize Erguang, Yunnan and Guizhou."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Looking at Ding Siliang, who was ordered to leave, Zhu Youlang stared at the current situation again, at this time, Zhu Youlang was guarding the car camp like a turtle camp, Zhu Youlang was not afraid, it was a big deal to retreat to Chongqing, you must know that Chongqing is dangerous.
What Zhu Youlang didn't know was that he was fighting with Wu Sangui in the field, or on the defensive, as soon as this news came out, the court was shocked, if it wasn't for the cabinet and Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and other civil and military officials to suppress it, I don't know how many performances flew to Zhu Youlang.
It's just that the next day, Wu Sangui sent people to spread the news that Zhu Youlang was surrounded outside Chongqing, especially the statement that Zhu Youlang would be defeated soon.
"Your Majesty, this Wu Sangui is too shameful." Ding Siliang, who was summoned by Jinyiwei, immediately returned to Zhu Youlang.
Zhu Youlang heard the sound and smiled: "There is nothing to be ashamed of, let Jinyiwei propagate to Wu Sangui and other Sichuan Tartars, Jianmen Pass is already in the hands of our army."
"Yes, Your Majesty." As a scholar, as soon as Zhu Youlang spoke out, Ding Siliang understood what Zhu Youlang meant.
Now with the way of others, you must know that Jianmen Pass is the gateway to Sichuan, if Jianmen is lost, then the Qing court in Sichuan army, in addition to surrender, can only wait for death.
Wu Sangui, who was originally waiting for the cannon, waited for the news that Gao Yigong's soldiers were in Baoning.
"King, Boryeong is in a hurry." Just as Wu Sangui was thinking about how to capture Chongqing after defeating Zhu Youlang, a soldier quickly broke in.
Wu Sangui took the secret letter and looked at it, his face gradually became solemn, although he didn't believe that Gao Yigong would be able to take Baoning, but seeing the Ming soldiers go straight to Baoning's intention to sword gate so much, moreover, Zhu Youlang had such courage and personally fought in the field, Wu Sangui felt uneasy in his heart.
"King, do you want to go back to Baoning." Li Guohan suggested.
Seeing this, Wu Sangui looked away: "At this time, the return of the army, it was Zhu Youlang's plan, in Sichuan, Zhu Youlang has hundreds of thousands of troops, all of them are an order adjustable elite soldiers, if you can defeat the enemy in front of you, it is possible to return to the army, if the enemy in front of you is uninjured and retreat, then the land of Sichuan, it is impossible to get it." ”
In fact, Wu Sangui knew that he and the Ming soldiers were gambling at this time, and if the Sword Gate Pass was lost, Wu Sangui could only go all out to Guizhou and unite with the soldiers of Huguang.
Thinking of this, Wu Sangui took a secret letter to Hong Chengchou, telling him about the current situation of the Ming soldiers one by one, especially about the Ming soldiers gathering troops to storm the Jianmen Pass, and then Wu Sangui asked the Qing court to give troops to Sichuan.
One day, Wu Sangui was only stationed three miles outside the Ming army, and he had no intention of attacking at all, and Zhu Youlang had already arrived in Baoning after getting Gao Yigong, he immediately issued an order to retreat to Fotu Pass.
After that, the three guards retreated to Fotu Pass with a triangular formation.
"King, the Ming soldiers have retreated."
Waiting for the Ming soldiers to move, but there were soldiers to report to Li Guohan and Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui originally wanted to wait for the Hongyi cannon to arrive, and then fight the enemy in front of him, where he knew that Zhu Youlang came here, just wanted to try the quality of the musket, and did not think about stopping the bloody battle with Wu Sangui at all.
"Attack me." The more he thought about it, the more angry Wu Sangui became, and ordered the whole army to attack.
After half an hour, the 100,000-strong army went to the left, the center and the right, and the left and right sides attacked, and the cavalry was the main cavalry.
It's just that as soon as the Ming soldiers saw Wu Sangui's soldiers coming, they immediately formed a formation on the spot, and the big and small Buddha wolf machines shot fiercely at the enemy, and for a while Wu Sangui seemed to have fallen into hell.
When he rushed to the front of the battle, the musket came out again, shooting, and fought with a bayonet after shooting, and for a time the two sides fought to the point that it was difficult to solve, Wu Sangui looked at a large number of casualties of the generals, and his heart was dripping blood.
"King, the Ming soldiers are not afraid of death, or do you want to suspend the army for the time being, so as to wait for the big Hongyi cannon to come, and fight again." A general suggested to Wu Sangui.
When Wu Sangui heard this, his face turned cold: "You immediately lead the troops to attack the enemy, and if you retreat, you will be killed." ”
"Yes, my lord."
This general left with a burst of resentment in his heart, and just as the two sides were attacking and defending here, in Baoning, Gao Yigong held a clairvoyant mirror and looked at Baoning City and Xiguan.
"General, there is no artillery in the army, the terrain of this pass is high, and it is difficult to attack, or wait for the arrival of the artillery, and then do the work of tackling the fortifications." Wang Jincai looked at Gao Yigong and persuaded.
Gao Yigong put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, he looked around at the generals around him, and he once again took out the secret decree of Zhu Youlang handed over to him by the brocade guard.
After the generals finished passing them one by one, Gao Yigong looked at the generals who were silent.
"If you are afraid of raising a thousand days and using troops for a while, the generals must remember the grace given by Your Majesty."
As he spoke, Gao Yigong pointed to Hexiguan and said fiercely: "Attack it, kill the enemy, and seal the prince at this time."
After that, Gao Yigong looked at the generals with cold eyes: "If you are cowardly and afraid, you can stand up now, and I will let you go, but in this life, the army will no longer allow you to gain a foothold." ”
"General, I am the current peak." Hu Jing, who came from the pro-military guard, stood up with a firm face.
Looking at this person, Gao Yigong was a little disappointed, because this group was not from the Great Western Army, but when Wang Jin drew his knife and shouted, he felt better in his heart.
"If you don't take the sword gate, I won't retreat until I die." Wang Jincai drew his knife and shouted.
Seeing this, the generals understood that this battle was no longer allowed for them to think, only attack, as for life and death, it was not something they could think about, whether it was life or death, Guan still had to be attacked.
Seeing this, Gao Yigong immediately ordered: "Eat and rest now, and in half an hour, the whole army will storm Hexiguan, and the battle will not be broken."
"Order."
Looking at the generals who had been ordered to go, Gao Yigong picked up the information conveyed by Jinyiwei again, because of the speed of Gao Yigong's march, so that the Qing court did not react for the time being, even if Wu Sangui had sent troops to summon the message and returned, but the Baoning Zhudi, which was already empty, had no choice but to be awarded.
Half an hour later, Gao Yigong waved his hand: "Attack." ”
When the words fell, a copper cannon sounded, Wang Jincai led the troops to attack to the left, and Yuan Zongdi led the troops to attack to the right. Read the latest chapter of "Late Tomorrow's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
