Chapter 714 Chinese Army Crisis
On July 17, the fourth year of Longwu, Wang Yan led loyalty, loyalty, and capital to defeat the Qing army that had retreated from the Qingge River.
On the battlefield on the outer line, because the Qing army of Zhulu learned that Wang Yan also pounced on the Dasheng Pass, they understood that Boluo's troops were insufficient, so they moved closer to the front line of the Dasheng Pass, intending to trap Wang Yan in the net, but the left and right wings of the Ming army changed from offensive to defensive, and frantically blocked the Qing soldiers on the periphery to move closer to the Dasheng Pass, so who killed the deer is still confusing and it is not yet known.
At this time, Sun Shoufa led 20,000 troops on the right route, and blocked nearly 30,000 people from Xiao Qihui, the governor of Zhejiang in the Qing court, on the front line of Ningguofu.
After Li Guo learned that Duoduo had divided his troops to the south and wanted to copy Wang Yan's back road, he immediately changed his route and turned eastward sharply to stop Duoduo, and the two armies encountered Yu Hezhou.
After the emperor and Jin Shenghuan captured Wuhu, they were eager to seize Nanjing, but they did not expect the plan of the Qing army to lure the enemy into depth, so they did not leave heavy troops in Wuhu, only a thousand households were stationed in Wuhu, and the troops were very limited.
After Jin Li interspersed, the defenders of Wuhu knew that something was wrong, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly closed the city gate.
This suddenly, a group of men and horses interspersed over, who knew that the Ming army in front of them was in danger.
The guards hurriedly sent spies out of the city to investigate, and brought back the rest, but it was not optimistic, and the defenders and gentry in the city began to panic.
For the defenders, although Jin Li's Qing soldiers did not attack Wuhu, they were still worried and even a little desperate.
On the afternoon of the 17th, on the city wall with a circumference of more than ten miles, there were hundreds of Ming troops, all of them worried, worried about their fate.
Several soldiers stood on the city wall to stand sentry, and suddenly one of them pointed to the city and exclaimed: "General flag, look! ”
An officer with a helmet and flag heard the sound and looked out of the city, only to see a cloud of dust and smoke rising from the west, and with many years of experience in battle formations, he knew very well that only cavalry could have such a momentum.
Zongqi's face immediately changed, and in his mind, the first reaction was, it's over, the Qing army that was interspersed with the past a few days ago has come back.
The few defenders in the city, looking at the smoke and dust, felt the shaking of the earth, and their hearts were full of fear.
A moment later, the defenders of the city saw that in the smoke and dust of Yang Qi, a blue-armored cavalry galloped out, but instead of going straight to the city, they galloped around the city and ran to the east.
The defenders of the city were slightly stunned when they saw this, and it didn't take long for a group of green battalion infantry to run out of the smoke and dust, their state was much worse than that of the cavalry, one by one dragging flags and spears, and fled in a hurry, and some of them looked back from time to time, as if there was something terrible behind them.
"General Flag, what is this?" The soldiers in the city asked with some uncertainty.
Seeing this, the general flag hurriedly said: "You see, I'll invite Qianhu to come over." ”
When Qianhu came to the city, he just caught up with the tail of the green battalion soldiers to bypass Wuhu City. Looking out from the city, there are flags and weapons discarded by the Qing soldiers along the way.
The Qing army ran like this, obviously losing the battle, but there were too few Ming troops in the city, and the city walls were not satisfied, so they did not dare to act rashly.
At this moment, there was even greater smoke and dust in the west of Wuhu, and a large crowd of people surged, thousands of elite cavalry in front, and countless saucers and helmets in the back.
The defenders of the city, only to see a three-zhang high Phnom Penh Wang Banner Daxu, surrounded by many banners, move to the city, there is a pole and two zhang high flags on the left and right, an embroidered white tiger against the wind, a painting of the Xuanwu longitudinal water map, hunting in the wind.
Qianhu's face changed, and he was solemn, "Open the city gate quickly, that is the Great Banner of the King of Hengyang!" ”
After finishing speaking, the thousand households hurriedly turned around and went down to the city to greet them.
Although the defenders of Wuhu are the people of Wang Deren and Jin Shenghuan, they do not belong to the system of the Five Loyal Army, but from Jin Li's Qing army, the defenders in the city realized that the front line may have changed greatly, and they have lost their backbone.
A moment later, the gates of Wuhu were opened, and Wang Yan, dressed in gold armor, was surrounded into the city, but he did not intend to stay in Wuhu for long, so the army was still stationed outside the city.
After the battle of the Transition River, the army was a little tired, so he sent scouts to the direction of Dasheng Pass to inquire about the news.
You can't be reckless in war, he has to figure it out.
Although Wang Yan crashed in, it was not a blind collision, if the emperor and Jin Shenghuan were finished, then he went deeper, that is, he was looking for death, and he must immediately organize the army to retreat, but if the war is not over, then he will immediately raise the army and go to relieve the siege.
Wuhu Prefecture Office, Wang Yan listened to the report of Li Suiqiu and others, and had already placed the wounded soldiers in the city for medical treatment, and listened to the report of Liu Shun and others on casualties.
The battle was fought for a very short time, less than two hours before and after, and before the main force of the Wuzhong Army had not crossed the river, Jin Li took the initiative to retreat, so the casualties were not very huge.
The losses in this battle mainly came from the frontal attack of the Guangwu Battalion, with nearly 1,000 killed and more than 500 wounded, while the losses of the Iron Man Army were less than 20.
On the side of the Qing army, the cavalry losses were relatively small, except for the more than 400 men and horses who were hacked to death before the battle, the remaining cavalry slipped away directly like rabbits, but the infantry of the green battalion was not so lucky, more than 3,000 people were killed, and more than 1,000 prisoners were captured, and the most important thing was the baggage and artillery of 20,000 horses and horses, all of which fell into the hands of Wang Yan.
Overall, the gains from this battle are still very impressive.
After the generals and staff finished reporting their affairs, the general manager who stayed in Wuhu was called into the hall again.
This will be called Zuo Mengchang, seven feet long, burly in appearance, is Zuo Liangyu's side branch people, has been in Jin Shenghuan's army, Jin Shenghuan anyway, he followed anyway.
This person still has some skills, but because of Zuo Mengeng's relationship, he has been excluded, and many generals are uncomfortable when they see him, but Jin Shenghuan trusts him more.
"See, Your Highness!" Zuo Mengchang entered the lobby and saluted on one knee.
Wang Yan waved his hand to get him up, then sat up straight, and asked, "Zuo Qianhu, how long has it been since Your Majesty set off from Wuhu?" ”
"Back to Your Highness, Your Majesty and Jindu Town, it has been eight days since we set off."
Wang Yan saw that Zuo Mengchang had worry on his face, and he was also bitter in his heart, eight days was enough for many things to happen.
Wang Yan's heart skipped a beat, leaned forward a little, and asked, "Is there any news?" ”
"Three days ago, 20,000 Qing soldiers bypassed Wuhu and went to the front line of the Qingge River to set up defenses. Knowing that something must have happened at the front, he sent scouts out of the city to find out some news. ”
Wang Yan frowned and urged, "How?" ”
Zuo Mengchang took a breath, "The scouts probed in the direction of Dasheng Pass, and learned from the nearby people that a few days ago, there was a large army of the Qing army, which marched west from the direction of Lishui County, and the team spread for dozens of miles, and the momentum was very huge. ”
