Chapter 40 The Duke of Da Shan Mountain

The Qing army rode around in front of the battle and shouted loudly: "Prince Yu of the Great Qing Dynasty has an order: Gu Shen admires General Bai's righteousness, since General Zhang wants to recover General Bai's body, why do you need to do this, just say it." Gu will definitely return the gift. ”

Immediately, the Qing army actually retreated.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuan and Yang Shenzu glanced at each other, and they both read a message from the other party's eyes.

This Duoduo is cunning.

I have to say that Duoduo guessed a few points of Zhang Xuan's thoughts.

Zhang Xuan just wanted to have a decisive battle with Duoduo under the city.

If Duoduo was really as Zhang Xuan thought, although this battle could not be won by a big victory, Zhang Xuan was sure that he would not be defeated.

It's just that I never thought that Duoduo saw through it at a glance, and he didn't mean to fight at all, whatever you do, I just carried out the previous plan, waited for the artillery to be in place, and directly bombarded the city.

Zhang Xuan saw that this set did not hit Duoduo, and he was not angry. Because there are similarities between fighting and hunting, it is all too normal for the trap to fall short. Zhang Xuan immediately moved on to another matter, urging the various departments to slowly retreat into the city.

Even if the Qing army retreated, Zhang Xuan did not dare to slack off.

After all, it's not just Zhang Xuan who can use the horse pistol. If he relaxed his vigilance, maybe Duoduo would dare to give him an extraterrestrial flying immortal.

After arranging these things, Zhang Xuan came to the West Gate and saw that a coffin had been placed here.

This coffin seems to be the coffin prepared by the Xiangwang family at the beginning, a good gloomy wood, dead and dead. The dragon and phoenix are carved on it, which is very exquisite, and in a sense, it can be regarded as overstepping. But at this moment, Zhang Xuan didn't care at all, he came to the coffin and looked at Bai Wang's body.

Bai Wang's corpse stiffened, and there was a smell of nothingness.

It's not a stink yet.

But after a long time, it is estimated that it will turn into a foul smell.

Zhang Xuan ordered the coffin board to be covered, and then he carried one end and said, "General Bai, I will take you into the city." ”

Zhang Xuan did this, Yang Chengzu immediately understood what to do, he barred the other corner of the coffin, and at any time several positions under the coffin were all occupied by generals at all levels.

In this way, together with Zhang Xuan, they carried Bai Wang into Xiangyang City.

Seeing this, Li Guo suddenly felt a little gloomy, and said secretly: "Uncle Liu's current corpse has not been found. I'm really sorry for Uncle Liu, as long as I can avenge the brothers who broke into the camp, even if I am a courtier to Uncle Luo, I can accept it. ”

"Revenge. Be sure to take revenge. ”

Li Guo is considered to be the most disgusted member of the remnants of the camp.

There is no other reason, it is because Li Guo is Li Zicheng's heir, and even changed his name to Li Jin for a time. For him, Chuang Ying is different from others, it can be said that it is the Li family's family business, and now that Chuang Ying has been annexed by Great Xia, he naturally can't let go of it in his heart.

But Zhang Xuan's actions have unraveled a lot of knots in the hearts of many camping generals.

Zhang Xuan buried Bai Wang's body in the palace of King Xiang, which was the palace where Li Zicheng ascended the throne. Then he read out a holy decree and said: "Bai Wang, the chief soldier of Xiangyang, loyal and brave, died in the first year of Wuxing on the mountain. ”

"The lonely soul is loyal, the heroic soul is not far away, posthumously presents Bai Gong as the Duke of Da Xian, canonized as the god of Da Xian Mountain, orders the magistrate, and sacrifices are endless at four o'clock."

If someone looks at this holy decree in Zhang Xuan's hand, they will find a problem, He Feng's holy decree has just dried up the pen and ink, it is Luo Rucai's blank holy decree to Zhang Xuan, and it is necessary to let Zhang Xuan fill in the content.

The Holy Decree comes in different specifications.

Even if Great Xia is newly established, there are still rules that should be there, and such a blank holy decree in Zhang Xuan's hand is only a few seals.

Of course, not everything Zhang Xuan writes can be effective, this is just an expedient measure to cut first and then play, if Zhang Xuan's writing is too outrageous, he will be held responsible.

Give Bai Wang a great honor to die.

This kind of grief was probably not thought of by Bai Wang when he was alive. Zhang Xuan's state of affairs was very powerful to appease the morale of the army and integrate all the people in Xiangyang City. But only in the city. He couldn't wait to convene generals at all levels to discuss countermeasures.

Da Xian Mountain was lost, and the Qing army was really hurrying to transport the cannons, and almost put the muzzle of the cannon on the head of Xiangyang City. When this crisis is not lifted.

It is a bit too much to say that Xiangyang City cannot be defended, after all, the power of artillery in this era is still quite limited. Build enough anti-gun holes and you should be able to hold out. But getting into a bitter battle is certain.

It's just that Zhang Xuan hasn't talked to the generals yet. Another piece of news reached Zhang Xuan's hands.

"What?" Zhang Xuan said: "Is there any movement in Zaoyang? ”

"Yes." Zheng Lian said: "Just now General Cao came to report that Azig has abandoned Zaoyang and is coming west. ”

Zhang Xuan said secretly in his heart: "The house leak happened to rain overnight. ”

The merging of the two departments of the Azig Institute and the Duoduo Department was by no means good news for Zhang Xuan. He then asked, "What is Cao Zongyu doing?" ”

Zheng Lian said: "General Cao has already followed Azig's subordinates. He estimated that in about three days, Azig's headquarters would be able to camp on the other side of the Han River. ”

Zhang Xuan knew that the cavalry strength of the Qing army was superior, and all Cao Zongyu could do was to follow him.

In this way, within dozens of miles with Xiangyang City as the center, the troops were unprecedentedly dense, even to the point of surplus.

Don't say it, if you look at the history books, there are millions of people, but millions of people can't be placed on a battlefield at all, and the more wars the better, and the Battle of Weishui is an obvious example. Even if the Azig army came to Xiangyang, there was no place for Azig to settle under Xiangyang City for a while.

Zhang Xuan didn't understand what Azig was thinking for a while. His eyes swept over the map and his heart moved, and he said secretly: "Maybe Azig wants to open another battlefield." For example, Yicheng? ”

If Zhang Xuan's subordinates were firmly pinned down by Duoduo, although Zhang Xuan had maintained control of the west bank of the Han River, the east bank of the Han River was a vacancy.

It can't be said that there is a gap, but if Xiangyang does not go down, if you continue to go south, it will be easy to be cut off from retreat. Under normal circumstances, the army would not go around the city, but now there is Luo Rucai in Yicheng. Azig may have wanted to besiege Wei to save Zhao, attack Yicheng, and mobilize the Xia army in Xiangyang City.

Immediately, Zhang Xuan put these thoughts aside.

It's not that Zhang Xuan is not worried about this.

But Zhang Xuan can trust Cao Zongyu. He believed that Cao Zongyu would definitely thwart Azig's plan, and it was nothing more than a change of place for the two sides to continue the confrontation.

It's just that in this way, Xiangyang City is divided into the west side of Hanshui, the battle of Xiangyang City, the battlefield on the east side of Hanshui, and Hanshui is still under the control of Zhou Fuchen, so that hundreds of thousands of troops of the Xia army can be connected together and become a complete heavy army group.

And the Qing army was divided into two halves by the Han water.

In this way, there is not much benefit to the Qing army, but it is beneficial to the Xia army.

Zhang Xuan couldn't figure out for a while, what the hell was this Azig trying to do. After thinking about it, he finally decided not to press the table, and just talked to Yang Chengzu, and no one else knew. Fearing that the morale of the army would be shaken, he immediately focused his attention on the mountain.

On a map, the Han River is in the east of Xiangyang City, turning a bay of more than 90 degrees, as if Xiangyang City and the east side of Xiangyang City, as if it is a peninsula, and the place where it meets the land, it is also cut off by a small mountain range, which is Da Hyun Mountain.

The northernmost part of Da Hyeon, which is the closest place to Xiangyang Mountain, is the popular Da Hyeon Mountain, which should be specifically called, Da Hyeon Peak. It is this mountain of culture that is full of places of interest and historical sites that determines the success or failure of Xiangyang City.

Zhang Xuan's hand pressed heavily on the ground and said, "Take back Da Xian Mountain, have you taught me?" ”

For a moment everyone was silent.

The matter of Da Xian Mountain is almost separated in front of everyone, but anyone who has insight in military affairs knows the difficulty of this battle, how much effort the Qing army spent to defeat Da Xian Mountain, if the Xia army wants to recapture it, it will cost more, even several times the cost of the Qing army.

"You want me to say." Luo Dai said: "Just one type. I don't believe it, 100,000 horses, and I can't bulldoze a mountain. It's just determination. ”

Zhang Xuan knew what Luo Dai said, there was no difference between saying it and not saying it, but in this situation, it was almost impossible to play any tricks, and the only thing left was this stupid way.
