Chapter 664: Guan Ningjun is still very cowardly
The reinforcements of the Guanning Army actually arrived so quickly.
"How many soldiers and horses are there?" Gao Yihuan tightened the reins of the horse and asked.
The ministers pursued and killed the defenders of Jianmen Pass, chased to the north of the Sword Pavilion, and saw that the mountains and fields in the south were full of enemy troops, and there were enemy horse troops to meet the defeated army, so Xu Dudu ordered the army to retreat. According to the observation of the ministers, the enemy army only numbered more than 30,000 people, and the horse army was the majority. The cavalry clenched their fists in return.
"There are only forty or fifty thousand elite soldiers in Guanning, and so many horse troops have come, they must be the main force of Wu Sangui! Perhaps, Wu Sangui has arrived! Li Dingguo on the side spoke.
Gao Yihuan was not surprised, and said with a heroic smile: "That's right!" The lone king defeated Wu Sangui in a battle, and then took Sichuan, which was like a bag to get something. ”
The two armies were less than twenty miles apart, and when both sides were under the noses of the other, the distance was too close, and retreating and escaping would give the other side a chance to pursue and cover up.
When the Wei army broke through the Jianmen Pass, it was natural to take advantage of the situation to break Wu Sangui, and it could not give the Guan Ning army a chance to regain its foothold.
Many Wei generals listened to Gao Yihuan's words, and they were eager to try.
Gao Yihuan immediately pulled the reins of the horse and ordered: "The sentry continues to investigate, and the army presses up!" Wu Sangui should fight, then fight with him, if the Guanning army retreats, the army will be directly killed. ”
All the generals agreed to the promise, and as soon as Gao Yihuan pulled the reins of the horse, he led the generals back to the team.
At this time, the army had already walked out of the southern foot of Dajian Mountain, the road became wider, and the sides of the road had changed from steep cliffs to small hills and low hills.
In front of the Wei army, the five-kilogram victorious army carried a self-made fire gun on his shoulder, a war knife and a spur hanging from his waist, a medicine bottle hanging obliquely on his body, a helmet and a gun rod undulating, and the team advanced mightily.
On both sides of the road, the hooves of the dragoon horses rained down, and the horses' hooves clattered and moved forward unhurriedly.
The current Wei army, after several wars, has already exuded a fierce atmosphere and played with momentum.
The reason why the Manchurian soldiers make people talk about the change of color is because they have played a momentum, which makes people cowardly before fighting, in fact, when taken out individually, many members of the Ming army may not be worse than the Manchurian soldiers, but they have lost their courage, and they are afraid if they don't fight, and their strength can't even play 30% of the battle, so they naturally often suffer defeats.
At this time, Gao Yihuan was dressed in gold lacquer armor, with a three-foot-long black feather inserted in his helmet, majestic and domineering, and the generals around him, such as Li Dingguo, Hu Dawei, Bai Wenxuan, Jin Xiangang, Liu Tichun, etc., were all neatly draped, with swords and spears, and surrounded his Daxuan.
The 50,000 Wei troops, advancing along the road, unfurled flags, spears like forests, and neatly armed soldiers were crowded, but no one made a noise, they were in high spirits and murderous, and directly pressed the oncoming Guanning army.
In front of the team, the Tiger Horse Army was selected as the main army to defend against enemy surprise attacks, and from time to time there were sentry horses to pass on the news and report the distance of the enemy army at any time.
At this time, in the Guanning army in the south, Wu Sangui rode on a war horse, and tens of thousands of Guanning troops rolled forward.
Now that Jianmen Pass has been broken through by the Wei army, Wu Sangui will either retreat immediately and abandon Sichuan, or he will go up and fight with Gao Yihuan.
It is obviously impossible for Wu Sangui to give up like this, and now the distance is too close, the army can withdraw, and it is difficult to retreat, and retreating is equivalent to a rout, which Wu Sangui cannot accept.
Besides, now he is not completely without a chance, the Wei army has traveled a long distance and has not gained a firm foothold in Sichuan, if the Guan Ning army defeats the Wei army in a battle, then there will still be a chance.
"Report! Lord Wang, the Wei army came from the direction of Jianmen Pass, less than fifteen miles away from our army! The scout of Guan Ningjun rushed over.
Wu Sangui on the war horse had a gloomy face, at such a close distance, Gao Yihuan actually didn't stop, he gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Keep going!" ”
The soldiers of the Guanning Army in the wilderness clenched their weapons one after another, and the soldiers marched silently, and they couldn't help but feel a little nervous in their hearts.
This kind of atmosphere was not there when they beat Li Zicheng, nor did they have it when they beat Zhang Xianzhong, and it was only when they fought against the Qing army in Liaodong that they had this kind of tension and fear.
On the other side, the Wei army continued to move forward and had already walked out of the Great Sword Mountain.
At this time, there are still mountains on both sides of the road, but it is relatively gentle, and some rice paddies and terraces have appeared, and even villages.
As they advanced, the Wei army began to change formations, forming horizontal formations, walking in the fields after harvesting, and the army marched like a wall.
"Report! King! The enemy is less than ten miles away from my advance! The Wei sentry rode over at a gallop, constantly reporting the distance between the two armies.
The Wei soldiers in the vanguard also subconsciously clenched the firearm in their hands, and a big battle was imminent.
"King, don't you stop the battle!" Bai Wenxuan licked his chapped lips.
"Did Wu Sangui stop?" Gao Yihuan asked casually.
The scout hugged his fists and said, "The Guan Ning army is still marching!" ”
Gao Yihuan waved his hand and shouted solemnly, "Continue to move forward." ”
The Wei generals burned a pride in their hearts, and the firecrackers stepped on the drums, and the army marched in rows.
In front of the front line, nearly a hundred stragglers armed with self-made firearms, in groups of thirteen, with guns in hand, spread out over the wilderness, covering the advance of the main formation.
The goal of the Wei army is to defeat Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui's goal is to block the road of the Wei army to the south, so the Wei army must maintain an offensive posture, otherwise the Wei army will stop, and Wu Sangui will also stop, choosing to form a village and wait for the Wei army to run out of food.
The two armies continued to advance, and whoever stopped first lost the upper hand in momentum.
At this time, as time went by, the distance between the two armies was rapidly getting closer, and Gao Yihuan took out a clairvoyant mirror, and he could already see the horse army entangled between the two armies.
In the Guanning army, Wu Sangui also took out a clairglass mirror, looked past the horse army fighting between the two armies, and looked at the black lines behind.
In the circular horizon, Wu Sangui saw a black wall of people on the opposite side, the Wei soldiers in the front row carried a gun on their shoulders, and a soldier next to him played a military weapon, and there were step drummers beating and blowing suona in the formation.
The 300 people of the Wei army were a small horizontal formation, each with a military flag and dozens of small horizontal formations, connected into a large horizontal formation that was three or four miles long.
After the horizontal formation in front, there was another horizontal formation in the rear, and then it was not really clear to see the back, he saw the Wei soldiers in front of him stepping on the rice fields, climbing over the mounds, advancing like a wall, and pressing towards the Guanning army.
On the two wings of the horizontal formation, there were the horse troops of the Wei army, as well as the copper cannons dragged by the war horses, which followed the main formation and did not mean to stop.
The distance between the two armies was pulled, and the Guanning army would soon enter the range of the Wei army's artillery fire, and then it would be bombarded with firearms, but the Guanning army that could march was not ready for a direct battle.
In front of the Wei army, the sentry galloped over and reported again: "King Qiqi, the main formation of the Guanning army has stopped!" ”
"Haha~" The generals of the Wei army burst into laughter, as if they had defeated the Guan Ning army.
Hu Dawei said: "When the Qing army entered the Kou Pass, the imperial court summoned all the troops to face the battle, and the best thing the Guanning army was to avoid the enemy without fighting. Now it seems that they are still very cowardly! They're starting to be afraid of us! ”
Gao Yihuan's expression was high, he glanced at the black line that stopped in the distance, and raised his arms and said, "Then in this battle, you will give this king a momentum, defeat the Guanning army in one fell swoop, and seize Sichuan." ”
