Chapter 409: A Late Stone

Guanzhong, Lantian Mountain, Muhu Pass within a radius of nearly 100 miles, the sound of killing shook the sky, nearly 400,000 horses, spread all over the land, and the battlefield was a mess.

After Li Zicheng was blocked at Wuguan, he retreated to Shangzhou, and then immediately led his army north, where he encountered the Qing army near Muhu Pass.

More than 300,000 Shun troops, in order to break through the siege, launched a fierce battle with more than 100,000 Qing troops.

Since the battle of a piece of stone did not break out, the strength of the old battalion soldiers of the Shun army was preserved.

Since then, Li Zicheng has clashed with the Qing army many times, and his will is a little not very firm, and he always retains the characteristics of slipping away if he can't win. Although he was defeated by the Qing army several times, the men and horses of the old camp were preserved every time.

This time, Li Zicheng had no choice, if he didn't stand out, he would become canned meat, and the Qing army didn't expect Li Zicheng to suddenly turn around, seeing that this Shun army was about to slip, he could only hurriedly block it.

The battle that took place at Muhu Pass was almost a belated battle of stones.

At this time, if an eagle flies through the sky and its eyes look down on the earth, it must also be afraid of the scene below!

Hundreds of thousands of troops are engaged in a life-and-death struggle in the land of Guanzhong. The soldiers of Shun and the infantry army of Liaozhen were strangled together, and the old battalion horse army of Li Zicheng on the periphery carried out repeated charges and kills with the Guanning iron cavalry.

Tens of thousands of Eight Banner Iron Cavalry rushed into the battlefield, like a torrent, through the Shun army's large array, and after each impact, the ground was left with corpses and ownerless war horses.

On the battlefield, the screams and shouts of killing, accompanied by the exchange of weapons and the roar of firearms, made the people in it feel crazy and desperate.

The battle lasted from early morning to evening, and the noise on the battlefield gradually quieted down, leaving only the cold wind blowing the broken military flags and hunting, and the ownerless war horses letting out a mournful roar.

The battlefield within a radius of dozens of miles is full of horizontal and vertical trees, with knives and guns in front of them, arrows in their backs, and corpses that are either pounced or raised.

Thousands of corpses on the battlefield, the blood flowing out of the river converged, and hundreds of thousands of Shun troops composed a sad song in the land of Guanzhong.

The battle was over, and when the Shun army and the Guanning army were entangled, under the repeated impact of the Eight Banners Army, they completely collapsed, and the soldiers scattered and fled, leaving behind the corpses of their comrades.

The soldiers of the Guanning army, wearing the armor of the Ming Dynasty, were also exhausted, and the soldiers wandered among the corpses and the ownerless war horses, collecting the spoils of war and searching for the living.

From time to time, there were wounded Shun soldiers, who were turned out of the corpses by the Qing army, and then brutally stabbed to death by the Qing army.

At this time, the snowflakes in the sky fell and fell on the ground, and did not melt, but slowly covered the corpses that covered the earth.

Wu Sangui rode on his war horse covered in blood, looking at the battlefield where snowflakes fell, and was speechless for a long time.

They were originally planning to drive Li Zicheng to fight a decisive battle with Gao Yihuan, but they didn't want Li Zicheng to suddenly turn around and bite the Qing army hard.

Although the Qing army won this battle, the Guanning army suffered heavy losses, and tens of thousands of men and horses were killed and wounded, and their muscles and bones were injured.

At this time, dozens of horsemen galloped over on the battlefield, and a bloodied general reined in his horse in front of Wu Sangui and said urgently: "Lord Wang, Li Zicheng will either die in the chaos of the army, or he will flee west with the rout. Do we chase or not? ”

Wu Sangui came back to his senses and sighed heavily, "Let Azig's Eight Banners chase after it, let's leave some of our brothers and clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the men and horses will go straight to Shangzhou with this king." ”

After that, Wu Sangui pulled the reins of his horse, and the cavalry behind him raised his head and blew the horn, and the Guanning iron cavalry on the battlefield immediately turned over and mounted their horses, followed Wu Sangui's Qin King Daxu Banner, and advanced southeast along the Wuguan Road.

Near Shangzhou, along the Danshui River, a large crowd suddenly appeared in the wilderness, sparse in front of them, and the more dense the crowd became, as if there was a flash flood.

The blue turbans on the heads of these people indicate their identities, they are all soldiers of Dashun, but many of them have no weapons in their hands and no armor on their bodies, and they are all embarrassed to support each other, and they are marching quickly to the southeast.

From time to time, someone in the crowd fell, and the person next to him hurriedly helped him up, and walked forward with his legs, as if there was something terrifying behind.

Bai Wang and Zhou Ronghua were also in the team, they held a broken gun in their hands, and walked forward with a deep foot and a shallow foot. Both of them looked embarrassed, their bodies were covered with blood mist, their helmets were missing, their hair was scattered, and they looked like beggars.

In this battle, the Shun army was defeated, some people broke through the blockade of the Qing army and fled to the west, and some failed to break through the blockage, so they had to turn back again.

Zhou Ronghua and Gao Yihuan are a little hypocritical, and the only way out he can think of now is to take refuge in Gao Yihuan.

After the Battle of Luoyang, Bai Wang was separated by Gao Yihuan and asked him to go to Guanzhong to report the news of the fall of Luoyang to Li Zicheng, and he also understood what Gao Yihuan meant, so he didn't come back.

A few days ago, Gao Yihuan entrusted people to convey goodwill to many generals, and Bai Wang also received Gao Yihuan's goodwill.

He failed to break out with the army, and had no choice but to go south to Gao Yihuan.

At the time of the Battle of Luoyang, Gao Yihuan was still only in control of the land of Sanfu, and his prestige and strength were still a little insufficient. In order to annex Bai Wang's men and horses, he divided Bai Wang, but now Gao Yihuan is no longer the same, the territory is expanded, the soldiers are strong, and he has the confidence to suppress the generals of the Shun army like Bai Wang, even if Li comes, he dares to accept it.

"General Zhou, where is this?" Bai Wang's lips were chapped, and his lungs were about to explode.

Zhou Ronghua was out of breath and said, "Just passed Shangzhou!" Gotta take a walk! ”

When Bai Wang and the others heard this, they had to grit their teeth and continue to move forward.

At this moment, the soldiers in front of him suddenly panicked, and the crowd of people in front suddenly stopped.

"It's not good, there is a horse army!" The soldiers let out an exclamation of surprise.

Zhou Ronghua and Bai Wang were overjoyed, and they hurriedly looked up and saw a group of men and horses, running against Danshui, towards them.

Zhou Ronghua immediately raised his arms and waved his hand, "Don't panic, everyone is tall and handsome, they won't embarrass us!" ”

Saying that, he and Bai Wang hurriedly separated from the soldiers and walked to the front.

Not much, nearly a thousand horse troops galloped over, led by a red-faced general like Guan Erye, holding a Guan knife in his hand, and strangled the war horse in front of them.

Zhou Ronghua, who lived for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, saw the person coming, and clenched his fists excitedly, "General Tiger, is it Gao Dashuai who asked you to come to meet us?" ”

Hu Dawei saw Zhou Ronghua and Bai Wang, as well as the defeated army behind them, and did not answer, but asked urgently: "General Zhou, has you been defeated in front?" ”

Zhou Ronghua and Bai Wang glanced at each other, but they didn't need to answer, they knew the result by looking at their appearance.

Hu Dawei's face sank, and he immediately said: "After the commander leads the troops, you continue to go south, and it won't be long before you meet." Ben still has important business, so I won't take you back!"

Zhou Ronghua thanked him, and continued to advance to the southeast with the defeated soldiers.

Hu Dawei led the cavalry and galloped north.
