Hongkou Pass, Baoning Prefecture, Sichuan, the first battle of the Sichuan soldiers was unusually tragic, Ao Bai was born in the Guarjia clan, is the grandson of Suwan tribe patriarch Suoerguo, and the nephew of Fei Yingdong, one of the five ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty.

However, his title was not obtained from his father and brother, but from one tough battle after another, especially the Battle of Phi Dao. Ao Bai and Zhun Ta then led their troops to cross the sea to launch an attack, but the Ming army had already been in a tight position, and the Qing army's attack was frustrated and the situation was urgent. Ao Bai bravely rushed to the Ming position, braving artillery fire and hand-to-hand combat with the defenders of Phi Dao. The Qing army then followed up in one fell swoop, landed on Phi Dao, raised fire to guide the main force to attack, and conquered Phi Dao.

The emperor was overjoyed and personally wrote a message to Nurhachi to comfort his father's spirit in heaven. Ao Bai was promoted to a third-class male with his first merit, and was given the name "Baturu".

Later generations were influenced by Lu Ding Ji, and their impression of him stayed on the stupid bearded man who covered the door in the chrysanthemum, but he didn't know that this guy was a real fierce general.

Yang Zhan led his troops to Hongkou Pass, and wanted to pass the pass in one go, but who knew that he would encounter a hard bone when he came up.

Under Hongkou Pass is a battlefield of blood and fire, the Sichuan soldiers who charge into battle have advanced without retreating, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout the world. The Qing soldiers with yellow flags defending the city were not afraid of death, occupying the pass with bows and crossbows firing volleys, and wooden rolling stones and artillery fired in unison. There were few corpses under the lock, and if the small injuries on the Sichuan soldiers could not feel the pain, the big injuries dragged their bodies forward, and they did not blink their eyes when they crossed the burning area. At this point in the battle, the more afraid of death, the faster he will die.

In Hou Xuanyan's plan, it was not yet the time for the Sichuan soldiers to leave Shu, so the siege equipment of the Sichuan soldiers was not complete. After years of civil war, the military treasury has long been exhausted, and it can only rely on simple equipment to attack the Hongkou Pass, which is not majestic.

Ao Bai sat in command at the gate, pulling out arrows from time to time to shoot down, his eyes reflected the war under the pass, and his heart was calm. As long as they hold here and wait for Wu Sangui's army to arrive, it will be time for them to counterattack. Even if the Sichuan soldiers broke the Hongkou Pass, he still had a few checkpoints.

Rows of sharp arrows were shot from the pass to the city, and the Qing soldiers who returned fire with their heads slightly exposed would soon be shot into a sieve, and Ao Bai saw that the other party had changed his tactics and no longer attacked the level, but for the purpose of killing and injuring the defenders, he immediately ordered the Qing soldiers to hide behind the wall and shoot arrows.

Yang Zhan Lema was in Gaogang, observing the battlefield from a distance, without the slightest emotion in his eyes. If a general has too many joys, sorrows, and sorrows, it will be a huge disaster for the soldiers under his command. Even if he was usually sympathetic and kind-hearted, but at the beginning of the war, he had the kindness of a woman, and when he saw that the casualties were too large, he retreated, which could only lead to a greater fiasco.

Although the battlefield in the distance was tragic, it was still in Yang Zhan's expectation, and the Manchu Qing swept through the Central Plains not all by luck. Everyone knows that the Eight Banners are brave and ruthless, and Yang Zhan knew from the moment he decided to leave Sichuan that the future was long and there was no lack of bloody battles. However, if the Hongkou Pass cannot be broken and the first battle will be lost, then the future war will be even more difficult.

Yu Dachun was covered in blood, retreated from the front line, his armor was stained with blood, his face was as red as blood when he spoke, his voice was like thunder, and he hugged his fists and said: "Supervisor, my men will be wiped out immediately, give me another soldier and horse, and I can still take Chong." ”

Yang Zhan pondered for a moment, his face sank like water, and he said in a condensed voice: "Mom sells batches, a small Hongkou Pass, and I actually stopped the Lao Tzu." Passing on my general's order, the military attachés below the staff general level formed a platoon and rushed to the front. The three armies followed, and this round is bound to win the Hongkou Pass! ”

Yu Dachun threw away the bow and arrow in his waist, raised his knife and said, "Lao Tzu rushed first." ”

Under the Hongkou Pass, the Sichuan soldiers temporarily retreated, and the Qing soldiers guarding the pass had already begun to cheer. They celebrated their brief victory, with only a hint of unease in Aobai's eyes. One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, is the master on the other side crazy? The temporary withdrawal of the army was a great demoralization, and the efforts he had just made would be in vain, and the smell of years of fighting told him that things were not so simple.

After the Sichuan soldiers under the pass were assembled, Yu Dachun stood at the front, and behind him were military generals of all sizes. Their eyes are resolute and their waists are straight, and even if there is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in front of them, someone must always charge into battle. Yang Zhan raised his voice and said: "The war is urgent, I won't talk nonsense, the last round of the whole army attack, Xu Jin is not allowed to retreat." I said ugly things in the head, the one who enters is my brother in life and death, the one who retreats is the same as the pigtail soldiers, Lao Tzu personally supervises the army, the soldiers retreat and kill the soldiers, and the generals will be retired. Do you hear me? ”

Yu Dachun stomped his feet, and his blood and qi surged up, and he couldn't care about the difference between dignity and inferiority, and shouted: "Inspector, don't talk nonsense, rush." ”

It turns out that Yang Zhan's words are indeed nonsense, and even a veteran oil in this atmosphere is infected and courageously moving forward. Nearly 60,000 slaughterers howled and rushed towards Hongkou Pass, like a raging torrent, hitting the embankment. The difference is that the torrent can hit multiple times, and this flow of people only has one chance.

It is as strong as worshipping, as brave as a yellow flag, and I can't help but feel cowardly under this momentum. They have a way to retreat, if in peacetime, the side with a way to retreat has an advantage, they can meet the enemy more easily, even if they are defeated, there is a way to retreat. This will give them a calm mindset and avoid low-level mistakes by the generals. But at this moment, retreat has become the demon of the Qing soldiers. Are we going to fight these crazy people? Wouldn't it be better if we retreated to Zhuyu Pass, where there were stronger checkpoints?

In the hearts of Ao Bai and the Qing soldiers, this thought was like a poisonous snake spitting out letters, eroding their faith and courage. Slowly, the warriors of the Eight Banners, who are known as invincible, also showed a look that they shouldn't have. The torrent under the gate is getting closer and closer...

The figure in front of him was already close to the pass, and the Qing soldiers could see the hideous faces of the Qing soldiers when they stared at them, and the arrows rained down, and the fallen soldiers turned themselves into meat shields, and used their flesh and blood to block the bows and arrows of the Qing soldiers for the brothers behind them. Since the Manchurians entered the customs, they have regarded human life as a mustard, but the group of Sichuan soldiers in front of them is more ruthless than them, and these people regard their lives as a mustard. Even the wolf-hearted Qing soldiers were frightened by these people, no matter how ruthless the wild wolf was, he would lie down when he saw the tiger.

There is no art of war and strategy, no detours and flanking attacks, only charges at the cost of lives. The generals are in front, the soldiers are behind, the blood is in the heart, and on the battlefield where blades and blood are the main colors, this group of people can be called invincible.

Ao Bai was finally afraid, and the group of people in front of him was very similar to the Manchurians who could not survive in the early years, when they encountered natural disasters outside the pass, they had no choice but to enter the pass and loot. At that time, everyone was a bloodthirsty hunter, and there were relatives at home who were about to starve to death, and only by robbing and killing the Han people could they survive the bitter cold.

Ao Bai ordered the Han Eight Banners to be held on the pass, and the Qing soldiers with yellow flags withdrew to Zhuyu Pass. With an order, Han Baqi suddenly blew up, but they have been bullied by the Manchurians for a long time, and they have long had servility, although they are afraid and hateful, but no one has fought back.

Ao Bai finally succeeded in withdrawing from the guards of Hongkou Pass with the yellow flag, and he felt that he could withstand this group of people at Zhuyu Pass. After all, it is impossible for a group of people to maintain this state for a long time, as long as their momentum is weak, they will definitely be able to hold it with a stronger Zhuyu Pass.

Hongkou is closed, and the remaining soldiers of the Han Eight Banners have no fighting spirit, they are destined to be a group of outcasts, but they don't know when they will be breached.

Yang Zhan saw that the resistance had weakened a lot, and it was clear in his heart that the Manchu masters had once again abandoned their minions and fled. Things that were unimaginable before, have happened several times. Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it was the group of people who were the most corrupt and degenerate, whether it was the previous Jin Dynasty or the Mongols, they all stood firm for a long time. But the wildness of the Manchurians is the fastest to fade.

Yang Zhan sneered and commanded his Sichuan soldiers to continue to charge, and soon the huge crash shattered the gate of Hongkou Pass, and the Sichuan soldiers swarmed in.

....

Ao Bai took the remnants of the defeated army and fled to Hanzhong in a hurry, he never imagined that Zhuyu Pass would be lost faster than Hongkou Pass.

Compromise is like an addictive drug, running backwards to avoid a group of crazy people, and you can ensure that you don't have to worry about your life. The retreat of the Qing soldiers was the best encouragement to the Sichuan soldiers, and from the moment he chose to give up Hongkou Pass, this Sichuan army could not be stopped completely.

Within seven days, they went down to Hongkou Pass, Zhuyu Pass, and Trench Pass, and the soldiers pointed directly at Hanzhong.

When the news came out, the world shook, and Yang Zhan and his Sichuan soldiers became famous in a battle, covering the southwest land. The people of Chengdu Mansion put up lanterns, just like the New Year, to celebrate the prestige of the soldiers.

The Qing soldiers on the entire Shaanxi and Gansu Nine Sides, whether it was the Manchurian Eight Banners or the Green Battalion, were all in fear. If Hanzhong is lost, they will have no danger to defend, and they can only fight hard and fight with the southerners.

Ao Bai entered the Hanzhong Mansion in Shaanxi, and knew that he had no way to retreat, and if he retreated, even if he escaped the pursuit of the Sichuan soldiers, he would be killed by the Qing court. Shaanxi has suffered from natural disasters for many years, and has suffered from wars, and there are few people within thousands of miles. From the end of the Apocalypse to the present, every inch of land here has experienced bloody battles in the past twenty years. To defend this place, the most important thing is food, and Aobai knows this very well and sends people into the court to ask for food. Prepare to be in Hanzhong Mansion, stick to it and never back down.

In Jinling, Hou Xuanyan anxiously waited for the battle report, pacing back and forth in the guest hall, and the corners of his mouth were already blistered. For several days, he didn't want to think about tea and food, and he would be awakened by nightmares when he dreamed.

The incident happened suddenly, breaking his deployment, and the Sichuan soldiers were poorly equipped, which was the worst among all the soldiers and horses of Hou Xuanyan. And what they are facing is the yellow flag and the worship. You must know that the yellow flag is also the best among the eight flags. couldn't help but be frightened by Hou Xuanyan, in case the Sichuan soldiers died and Bashu fell into the hands of the Manchus, it would be equivalent to them having an extra bridgehead. The advance can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and the great plan of the Northern Expedition, which has been painstakingly prepared, will add countless resistances.

But since the war has begun, it is naturally impossible to do such a stupid thing as asking for guilt, Hou Xuanyan can only fully mobilize the soldiers and horses in the southwest to avoid the Sichuan soldiers fighting alone and falling into the encirclement of the Qing army reinforcements. One order after another spread from the Regency to the southwest, and several horses were killed.

After learning of Yang Zhan's actions, Gu Yinxi of the loyal battalion quickly made arrangements and sent troops from Xiangyang to attack everywhere. The soldiers and horses of Wu Sangui and Kong Youde were contained in Xiangyang, and the Sichuan soldiers were supported from the side to attack Hanzhong. Soon, Hou Xuanyan's order arrived, and Du Yinxi held the documents of Yue Guogong and circulated the three armies, which was completely consistent with his own arrangement.

Yuan Zongdi sighed, stomped his feet and praised: "Isn't this the same thing that heroes see?" The whole Loyal Battalion was convinced by Hou Xuanyan, and at the beginning of the Jingxiang War, the Loyal Battalion did not feel the slightest discrimination. That is the real equal treatment, which makes this group of former Dashun fleeing East Route Army who was squeezed out and framed by He Tengjiao respect. Moreover, Hou Xuanyan was the first to lead them to defeat the Manchus, after they were defeated by the Manchus at Shanhaiguan, and they almost did not taste victory.

Gu Yinxi was also very relieved in his heart, what the general of the army was most afraid of was that he would kill the enemy on the front line, but there was an order from the DPRK to the middle of the country that the donkey's lips were not in the horse's mouth. Although it is said that the general will not accept the order of the foreign king, but if you really do not accept it, you will be ashamed. If you meet those mediocre kings, you will die.

Now that he has the support of Yue Guogong, Du Yinxi also let go of his hands and feet, and used his own strength to fight against the four traitors in Xiangyang. Wu Sangui, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi... These spokesmen of various factions in Liaodong once sucked the flesh and blood of the Ming Empire, and now they have finally become the strongest obstacle to the restoration of Han unity.

Finally, the Sichuan soldiers went down four levels in a row, and the news of the soldiers coming to Hanzhong came, and the court was jubilant. The people of Jinling rushed to tell each other, and the armies from all walks of life were ready to move, and it was early spring, the ice and snow melted, and everything recovered. Xuanyan, the prince of Yueguo, went to the palace to pay homage to Zhu Linhao, the little emperor of Jingyou, and crossed the river to Qingliu Pass with three thousand guards. The chariots, the horses, and the pedestrians have bows and arrows at their waists. This time I went to Qingliu Pass, and the strongest combat power of the Han family Erlang had been taken out, and there was no trace of hiding.

A front that runs through the east and west, from Sichuan and Shu to Shandong, there are wars along the way. Before Hou Xuanyan arrived, the Houtu battalion fired the first shot after ascending the Qingliu Pass, and Jierharang hurriedly responded to the battle. Chen Bing Fuzhou of the Shuizi Battalion looked at the remnants of the Zheng family's strength to death. The Huozi camp used the fastest speed, almost like entering a no-man's land, to recover Shandong. The Fengzi battalion, which has not been seen for a long time, rushed to the aid of the Sichuan soldiers from the battlefield of Tusi in the southwest of Sichuan and Guizhou.

Jinling, like the heart of the entire Ming Dynasty, sent blood, money, food, soldiers, weapons, and armor to the front line from water and land through various means. Righteous businessmen flocked to the Suzhou Gu family, the Jinling Wu family, the Songjiang Ye family... Countless convoys delivered food free of charge to support the front line. In Chengdu, Changsha, Jinling, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places, students in the medical hall rushed to various battlefields in groups. A huge war machine began its operation, and the Northern Expeditionary Army, which had been dormant for half a year, once again let its desolate horn sound resound throughout the land.

The enemy can be destroyed, the head is destroyed, and the intestines of the beard are involved in the blood. Hanging Hu in the sky, burying Hu Zi plugged around.

Hu no one, Han Daochang.
