Chapter 145: The Battle of Luzhou Wei III

Things have reached this point, Wu Dading has no other way, while holding on, he desperately asks Wu Sangui for help.

didn't know that Wu Sangui was no longer in the Luzhou Acropolis at the moment.

Wu Sangui led a large group of cavalry and first moved north away from the battlefield. Then turn back to the edge of a river.

At this moment, Wu Sangui was explaining his strategic intentions to Wu Sanfu.

"Our army can't hold with the Xia army here for a long time, after all, the Xia army has the power of a country. The imperial court doesn't care if my family lives or dies, and if Liaodong Erlang is damaged, it will be damaged. The imperial court will only be secretly happy. Wu Sangui squatted on the edge of the river, kicked a stone, handed the helmet in his hand to Wu Sanfu, and asked him to hold it. Then he picked up a piece of water, poured it on his face, and it was cool for a while, then he picked up the water with both hands, drank it fiercely, and said: "But my Liaodong son, I won't make up for the loss of the imperial court." So in this battle, we must fight the pain order and let him go back weirdly. ”

"To be honest, Li Dingguo came out here to attack me, and I was a little surprised." Wu Sangui stood up, shook the water in his hand, took the helmet from Wu Sanfu, put it on, and looked at it while fastening the helmet. But I saw that in the mile-long river, there were many cavalrymen drinking the water of the river, and the whole river was full.

It's so bustling and lively.

"But that's the case, we have to find a way to solve the problem." Wu Sangui said to Wu Sanfu: "What is a cavalry? Charging the battle with cavalry is only a last resort, and cavalry is a detached soldier, thousands of miles to the meeting. One hit is a must, this is the use of cavalry. ”

"The terrain south of Luzhou Wei is undulating, and it doesn't seem to be a place for cavalry bravery, but in fact, it's not, who said that cavalry can only be used on the plains, the more he thinks so, but it happens to be unexpected."

"I think Li Dingguo is not a mediocre general, he must have spread his eyes and ears widely, and he will see all the roads to death. Won't let me sneak easily. But there was one way, which he would not have imagined, and that was here. Wu Sangui shook his horsewhip and said, "Just this river." ”

"This river is not a big river, and it will be done after autumn, and between spring and drought, it will become shallow, almost equivalent to a big road. Except for a few places, along the shallows along the riverbank, more than 50 miles south, you can suddenly appear behind Li Dingguo. ”

"It is difficult to come to Li Dingguo for transshipment, as long as our army burns his baggage, he can't help but withdraw his troops."

"And what to do when the troops are withdrawn, but it is up to him."

When Wu Sanfu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said, "Big brother is wise. ”

Wu Sangui said: "What is wise or not, speaking of which, your eldest brother is just a second-rate person in the world." ”

Wu Sanfu said: "Then who is the first-class person." regent

Is it? ”

"Hmph, although the regent has some skills, but he is just inheriting the business of his father and brother, judging by what he does, he should be interrupted, it is not a hero's doing, and it may not end well in the future." Wu Sangui sighed lightly and said: "Zhang Xuan Zhang Pingzhi, Chongzhen fifteen years, I am already the master of the army, he has only come to the fore, this is only ten years, he has been the respect of the Ninety-Five, the march and battle have few defeats, and there are many outstanding points in governing the foundation." That's fine, but for one thing, I admire it very much. ”

Wu Sanfu said: "What is it? ”

Wu Sangui said: "Look at Zhang Xuan's plan, he seized the throne step by step, but his hands are not touched, and he looks like he is expected to return, this means, scheming, and wrist, but it makes me sigh with admiration, if Li Mi had such a scheming skill back then, why would the army be defeated?" ”

"I can't imagine how he did it."

The same thing is placed in different eyes, and there are different interpretations. After Wu Sangui sighed, he said to Wu Sanfu: "In the troubled times, you can still trust your family, you must also train hard, and help me in the army in the future." Although there is only one province in Sichuan, it is also the foundation that my Wu family can inherit. ”

Wu Sanfu said: "My brother understands. ”

Wu Sangui said: "Let's go, rest well." It's time to go. ”

Wu Sangui turned over and got on his horse, and the cavalry next to him got on the horse with him. Tens of thousands of cavalry followed this river and turned south. The dense sentry was let out. All the people you met along the way, whether they were Han Yi, were killed on the spot.

It was only on the night of the next day that they came to the east side of the Xia army camp.

At this time, it has passed the third watch. Wu Sangui stood on a high ground and looked at the Xia army camp from afar.

The broken terrain also made Xia Jun's camp unable to become a complete battalion. Generally speaking, the Xia army camp was built along the avenue, but although this road is not wide, it is an official road built by the state, and the terrain near the official road is quite flat. You can set up a position.

At night, a band of light composed of bonfires reflected in Wu Sangui's pupils, and the jumping fire seemed to be neutralized by a certain emotion in Wu Sangui's pupils, and cooled down little by little.

"Let the whole army be ready, sleep for a while, sleep for a while, eat dry food when it is time to eat dry food. Wait for dawn. Wu Sangui said.

Immediately someone went down to give the order.

Wu Sangui asked a person dressed as a farmer next to him again, and said, "Li Dingguo's army has been used?" ”

"Go back to the prince." The man dressed as a farmer said: "I have been probing for the past few days, and I can see clearly that among the Xia army, the best equipment and the most firearms have all been sent. The only ones left were Li Dingguo's central army, and there were some lean-looking western thieves. Most of the rest are people. Wearing a single coat, the feet are still on

Sandals. These straw sandal thieves are nothing to fear. ”

This person is a fine work arranged by Wu Sangui. Because of the complex terrain here, you can overlook the Xia army camp from afar.

Since Zhang Xuan joined the army, he has also worn straw sandals, and since he became in power, he has been committed to one thing. That is, let the soldiers no longer wear straw shoes, even the second-line army should be able to afford to wear cloth shoes. So much so that now the Privy Council has been purchasing cloth shoes all year round, that is, the kind of mille-feuille soles.

This change in the Xia army has even become a basis for the enemy to judge the combat strength of the Xia army. An army without cloth shoes is certainly not the main force.

Wu Sangui couldn't find any big mistakes in this judgment, but he made a mistake here.

In the camp of the summer army, Li Dingguo had not yet slept.

There are many affairs in the army, and once a war starts, it is also a very normal thing to not sleep for several days and nights. However, Li Dingguo doesn't sleep, but not because of this. Rather, he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

I don't know where this feeling comes from, and I always feel uneasy.

He didn't know where his uneasiness came from, but he always felt uneasy, so he collected all the military information since the battle. I finally discovered one thing, for a long time, from the battle to the present, there was not a single Liaodong prisoner in the army.

This shows that Wu Sangui's Liaodong lineage did not join the battlefield at all.

Where is Wu Sangui exactly? Li Dingguo has been thinking about this thing. I only felt that I seemed to be deep in a dark room, and I couldn't see my five fingers, and Wu Sangui seemed to be a ghost hidden in the darkness, and he would appear in front of him at any time.

This bottomless feeling is getting smoother and smoother with the front-line offensive. He became more and more apprehensive.

Immediately, Li Dingguo pulled out a plan from the bottom of the document. He looked at the content on it and said in his heart, "I hope I don't need it." ”

Faced with this situation, Li Dingguo naturally made preparations, and it was not perfect. But I don't see any omissions. This is also Li Dingguo's fight until now, and all the tens of thousands of people used by Qin Meng and Li Dingguo's Western Army are secretly preparing in the camp with most of the Tusi soldiers.

If Wu Sangui makes a move, it is unlikely that he will have to go and not return, but it is very possible to let Wu Sangui suffer a loss. I just don't know if Wu Sangui will come. If Wu Sangui doesn't come, just like Wu Dading, retreat step by step, relying on the terrain here, and let the Xia army compete with him one by one, the situation will be very bad.

Because in this way, this battle must be protracted, and the grain and grass in the army can only support three months, that is, ninety days, and now twenty days have passed, and if you add the needs of the withdrawal of the army, the Xia army can only support about twenty or thirty days here, or even less than a month.
