Chapter 346: Under the Battle of Ganzhou
"The Book of Rites: Qu Lishang": "The enmity of the father, the Buddha and the heavens." ”
Geng Jimao's hatred for Wang Yan was no less than Lekdehun, and when he heard that Wang Yan killed Wan'an, he was immediately shocked and angry in his heart.
He was surprised that the Ming army occupied northern Jiangxi so quickly and killed southern Jiangnan, and he was angry that the enemy saw each other, and his eyes were extremely red.
Looking at his appearance, Leke Dehun knew that he did not choose the wrong person, Geng Jimao would never surrender to Wang Yan, and if he went to defend Wan'an, he must fight to the death, urging the soldiers and horses to defend the city desperately and buy him enough time.
Geng Jimao understood the current situation of the Qing army, so he made a full salute and hurried away.
Luck Dehun looked at his back when he left the big tent, and then shouted again: "Command Jin Shengheng, attack the city immediately, within three days, if you can't enter Ganzhou, Ben Shuai will let him come to see him!" Half an hour later, Geng Jimao led an army of 10,000 to Wan'an County, eighty miles to the north, and Jin Shengheng in the Qing army camp also led his soldiers and horses to attack the defenders in the city of Ganzhou.
On the army to fight, there are still more than 50,000 people in southern Gansu, and Wang Yan does not have much advantage in terms of troops.
Killing 1,000 enemies on the battlefield often loses 800, Wang Yan led nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses into Chu, and then incorporated nearly 100,000 Shun troops, 10,000 Shaanxi rebels, a total of 130,000 people, but at this time, in addition to the green battalion surrendered troops, even if you count the high school repair in Hunan, he only had more than 70,000 people left, and the battle loss was nearly half.
This is still the result of successive big victories, if once defeated, I am afraid that the soldiers and horses in his hands will be defeated, so in this battle of southern Gansu, he did not want to fight hard with Luckde, but tried his best to ensure the safety of his subordinates, otherwise even if he won a big victory, if his own losses were too great, for Wang Yan, it would be worth the loss.
Wang Yan helped Zhao Yingyuan in Qingzhou that year, but as a result, the Qing soldiers besieged the city, and there was the original Ming Qingzhou garrison Li Shiyuan, who designed a plot against Zhao Yingyuan, which made Qingzhou defeated, and even Wang Yan almost died in the city.
This time Wang Yan and Li Shiyuan met in Ji'an, it should be said that they were enemies and never died, but in order to avoid storming the city and causing casualties to his soldiers and horses, Wang Yan stopped under the city for two days, persuaded with good words, and wrote a letter to urge Li Shiyuan to surrender the city.
In this battle of southern Gansu, Wang Yan's goal is to defeat Luck Dehun at the lowest cost, and to do this, of course, we must pay attention to strategy, his strength is equivalent to Luck Dehun, and he pounces directly, it must be a frontal battle, Wang Yan does not want to see it, so he must divide his troops, fight the few, and annihilate it.
After Wang Yan took Ji'an and occupied Taihe County, the army was divided into two routes, a group of 30,000 people led by Dai Zhifan and Liu Fangliang, traveling lightly, taking the small road day and night, and rushing to Wan'an, while Wang Yan took another 30,000 horses, as well as heavy grain and grass, and went up the river along the river with great fanfare, attracting the attention of the Qing soldiers.
He had his soldiers pull the warship with ropes and move slowly across the river in a gesture of attacking Wan'an head-on, which made Luckedhun get the wrong information that Wang Yan had only 30,000 horses to enter southern Gansu.
Seeing that Wang Yan had few soldiers and a slow march, Luck De made the wrong decision, thinking that he could divide his troops to hold Wan'an and contain Wang Yan.
"The Art of War" has a saying, "If you die, you will fight!" In the land of death, there is no way in front and there are pursuers behind, and there will be a place to fight to the death. ”
This means that when the army is stuck in a dead place with no way forward and pursuers behind, there is only a decisive battle with the enemy.
At present, there is the Ganzhou Ming army in front of Luckdehun, and Wang Yan's soldiers and horses are killed, which is in line with the words of "Sun Tzu's Art of War", but his subconscious timidity towards Wang Yan made him instinctively avoid a decisive battle with Wang Yan, but made a wrong decision to divide the troops, and committed a taboo.
Ganzhou is more than 80 miles away from Wan'an, the rapid march can be arrived in one day and one night, the time is three watches in the night, in the faint moonlight, nearly 10,000 Qing soldiers are holding torches, running to the north.
Geng Jimao was also regarded as the queen of the gate, he learned from Luck Dehun that Wang Yan would arrive in Wan'an within five days, in order to be able to hold the city, he naturally wanted to enter the city earlier, so as to be fully prepared to meet Wang Yan's army.
At this time, Geng Jimao rode in front of the team, looked back at the fire dragon behind him, and couldn't help shouting again and again: "Hurry up, speed up!" The front is Wan'an, and you can rest well after entering the city~"
When the Qing army heard this, they continued to gallop north, but the soldiers ran for more than 70 miles in a row, and they were indeed a little tired, and the quality of the soldiers was uneven.
At this time, the Qing soldiers were only five miles away from Wan'an, which made Geng Jimao breathe a sigh of relief, and the Qing soldiers patrolling the city wall in the distance also found that a fire dragon came from the south.
The patrol immediately reported to Shen Zhixiang, he hurriedly got up, came to the city to watch, and knew that it was Luckedhun who sent reinforcements over, and was immediately overjoyed, "It's the reinforcements from the big battalion~"
When the Qing soldiers in the city heard this, their faces also leaked with joy, but at this moment, there was a change that Geng Jimao and Shen Yongzhong had never imagined.
In the dark night, in the woods on both sides of the official road, 10,000 horses were ambushed, and behind the trees, there were 10,000 horses on standby.
Under the cover of night, the 30,000 Ming troops separated from Wang Yan from Taihe County, they hid in the woods during the day, and came out to march at night, and as early as the night before, they had bypassed Wan'an County and hid in the woods to the south.
Because the Ming army bypassed Wan'an at night, the Wan'an defenders didn't notice it at all, and Wan'an's sentinels were all going to the north of Wan'an to investigate Wang Yan's movements, so they didn't expect that there would be a Ming army hiding in the south of the county.
At this time, Liu Fangliang looked sharply at the Qing soldiers walking in front of him from the woods, he was not in a hurry to attack, but was waiting for the commander's order.
At this moment, a rocket suddenly shot out of the woods, cut straight across the night sky, and then exploded in mid-air, which was extremely dazzling and visible for ten miles.
This is the order issued by Dai Zhifan, Liu Fangliang immediately jumped up from the woods when he saw this, and shouted the order: "Kill~"
"Kill~" \u000b For a while, the woods shouted to kill, and teams of Ming troops rushed out from the woods on both sides and killed the frightened Qing army.
In the dark night, the Qing army had already formed a long line, and was suddenly attacked by the Ming army, and they were greatly frightened, and one by one they were suddenly in chaos, and many people turned around and fled.
In ancient wars, it was a "gas", and when the courage was discharged, even if there were millions of people, they would only flee in the wilderness, not to mention that the Ming army of 30,000 and 10,000 were even more frightened to the Qing soldiers who collapsed to the ground and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.
The soldiers of the Ming army killed like a storm, slashing with their swords, rolling heads, and bursting with blood, and hundreds of people died under the swords of the Ming army in an instant.
Wang Yan's Ming army is not a local chicken and a dog, but an elite who has experienced the Huguang War and can fight against the Eight Banners.
In this battle, there is no suspense at all, the victory must belong to the Ming army, and all that remains is the question of how many casualties the Ming army will have and how much time it will take to completely defeat Geng Jimao.
The battle was already doomed from the beginning, and Geng Jimao's army was immediately routed on all fronts under the surprise attack, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties and fled in all directions.
When Geng Jimao saw this, he suddenly had his heart and gall split, he saw that the situation was not good, and immediately turned around and couldn't escape, but he was facing a general, it was the general Liu Fangliang.
The two immediately fought together, Liu Fangliang shouted, and a spear stabbed directly at Geng Jimao, the offensive was fierce, Geng Jimao hurriedly raised his knife to block it, he was in a hurry to flee for his life, he didn't dare to fight, and after the war horses were staggered, he turned into a direct horse and fled.
Liu Fangliang turned the horse's head, and when he saw him rushing to the road, he hurriedly took the bow and arrow from the horse's back, bent the bow and shot, hitting Geng Jimao's right shoulder, causing the war knife in his hand to fall to the ground.
The arrow pierced Geng Jimao's shoulder, and a large amount of blood gushed out, and when he lost his weapon, his soul suddenly scattered, his body lay on his horse, panicked, and broke into the Ming army.
At this time, he met another general, it was He Zhen, the leader of the Shaanxi Righteous Army, he was newly under the command of Wang Yan, and he was worried that he had no merit, and he saw Geng Jimao in front of him, knowing that he was a general of the Qing army, and he was overjoyed, he waved the mace in his hand, and smashed it on the back of Geng Jimao's head, and immediately smashed his skull, his brain splashed, and he fell off the horse and died on the spot. \u000b Geng Jimao, the main general, was killed, and the Qing soldiers were even more demoralized, Dai Zhifan saw the overall situation, so he hurriedly called a hundred households, changed into Qing army clothes, and went to Wan'an.
