Chapter 550: Abandoning Wanxian
On the 20th of July, the Ming army once attacked the south gate of Wanxian County, Wu Sangui was in a hurry, and a large number of reinforcements were drawn from the other three city walls, and personally did not get off the line of fire, braving the rain of arrows and artillery to supervise the battle, so that the Qing army was inspired by him and many Guanning generals, and the soldiers worked together to block the Ming army.
But although they defended the city, Wu Sangui and the others were also shocked into a cold sweat, this time it was really too hanging.
The Ming army is more than three times that of him, and if the equipment is sufficient, Wanxian is really difficult to defend.
Because of the development of firearms, many instruments have withdrawn from the stage of history, such as the last time the Lu bus appeared, it was when the rebellion of Luxe Chongming besieged Chengdu, but it was smashed by the city's artillery before it was close to the city wall.
Such a performance is enough to show that the bulky and slow equipment is no longer suitable for the battlefield where artillery is vertical and horizontal.
The Guanning army fought against the Qing soldiers in Liaodi, the cannon was erected on the city wall, what large equipment, not close to the city wall, it was basically smashed down, even if it was close, throwing two earth-shattering thunders can also be decisive, and the Qing soldiers mostly carried ladders and flying bridges to attack the city directly.
It was these past experiences that made the Guan Ning army not pay enough attention to the equipment of the Ming army, and they forgot that they now have no red-coated cannons, no earth-shaking thunder, and the three cities are not border gates.
Fortunately, the Guanning army has been in battle for a long time, and the city is built on a high place, and the Ming army's equipment advances slowly, giving the Qing soldiers time to react, otherwise Wanxian County may really be drummed down by the Ming army.
At this time, the war was over, Wu Sangui returned to the palace hall wearing bloody armor, he took off his helmet, threw it on the desk, and fell to the seat, his heart palpitated, and his eyes flashed.
In today's situation, once the city is breached, he will definitely not escape death.
In the past, once the city gate was breached, even if it was blocked back, it would not be able to avoid the fate of breaking the city in the end.
In this way, Wanxian County will not be able to defend for long.
I knew it was like this, why not~
Before today, although the cottage was pulled out, Wu Sangui thought that the materials in Wanxian County were quite abundant, the troops were sufficient, he could at least hold on for a month, leaving him a lot of room to choose, Guan Ning did not reach the end of the road, but the danger that appeared today made him have to reconsider his situation.
At this time, Wu Sangui glanced at the generals in the hall and said in a deep voice: "How many people were injured by each department today?" ”
When Xia Guoxiang heard this, he came out and said: "Back to the prince, it is estimated that there are more than 3,000 people." ”
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cool air when they heard this, and if they continued to fight like this, within ten days, Guan Ning's blood would drain up.
At this time, Hu Guozhu on the side said: "Lord Wang, the casualties are mainly in the collapse of the city and the battle for the city gate. The last general has already asked people to hurry up the repair of the city wall, and the four city gates are also blocked with stones? ”
"Blocking the door?" Wu Sangui frowned, blocking the city gate, that is, to trap tens of thousands of Guan Ning and live and die with the city, this is obviously not in the interests of Wu Sangui, he does not die for the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible for the Qing court to die.
Xia Guoxiang understood Wu Sangui's thoughts, and said tentatively: "Lord Wang, do you want to talk to Wang Yan again?" ”
Wu Sangui was silent for a while, and waved his hand, if it was before the war today, then there would be talk about it, but now that Guan Ningjun has lost people, he has shown his eyes, and he almost lost Wanxian, and then talk about the conditions, how can the waist board be stiff, "Wang Yan, what you want is Guan Ningjun, not us, how can you talk about the battle like this?" If this king is Wang Yan, in the case of dominance, he will definitely not let this king take charge of the army, so this king might as well break through the mountain. ”
Since the Ming army was in Wanxian County, Wu Sangui used delays to negotiate with Wang Yan, in the case of Wang Yan's extreme sincerity, Wu Jun still chose to put Wang Yan together, such a line, coupled with Wu Sangui's judgment of surrender, and then defection to the Qing Dynasty, his identity has been extremely dirty, and it is difficult to make people trust.
Hu Guozhu and the others listened, and recalled in their hearts that the conditions proposed by Wang Yan at the beginning were indeed good, but if they sold their families in the hands of the Qing army, the price would obviously not be enough, but when they talked about it at this time, both sides were red-eyed, and the conditions were definitely not as good as before, and they would surrender even more.
At present, Guanning is up and down, and he can't keep Wanxian, but he doesn't want to surrender with a low profile, so it's a little embarrassing.
"This Prince Su, how long has it been since you set off from Chengdu, how can you return every news?" Hu Guozhu couldn't help complaining, he could only put his hope on Hauge, hoping that he would come over quickly to relieve the siege.
Wu Sangui pondered for a while, he is not a person who pins his hopes on others, if Haoge can't come before the Ming army breaks through the city, then shouldn't he sit down? It didn't work, he couldn't make such a bet.
"Prime Minister, this king wants to break through, what do you think?" Wu Sangui looked at his think tank and suddenly asked.
Breakout, isn't that a joke? Can you go early or not? If there were plains on all sides, I would have run away on horseback.
Xia Guoxiang's brows were furrowed tightly, almost twisted into a line, but since Wu Sangui said it, he still thought about it, and replied after half a sound: "Back to the prince, there is a way, the army has crossed the Wushan Mountain to the north to Xuanhan, but no one has walked this road, I am afraid it is extremely difficult, but if we can go out, we can retreat to Baoning Mansion or Shunqing Mansion, and we can also enter the nearest Lychee Road and retreat to Hanzhong." It's just that the key is not whether there is a road or not, but that the Ming army will not let us go! ”
What Xia Guoxiang said is the truth, the land of Kuizhou is full of mountains, and the Guanning army has horses that cannot be used, and may not be able to outrun the Ming army, especially Wang Yan has Tusi men and horses who are good at fighting in the mountains.
Wu Sangui frowned and thought about it, the road is difficult, and it is better than staying in Wanxian, more than 3,000 people died in this day, his family background is thin, and he really can't afford to fight, suddenly he stood up, "Prime Minister of the country, you go to Mingying again, tell Wang Yan, let him give this king two days, this king must be anyway." ”
When the generals heard this, they were stunned, only Xia Guoxiang understood, Wu Sangui probably still wanted to delay time, but Wang Yan was not a fool, he was deceived by you once and twice again, so he was a little embarrassed: "Lord Wang, I'm afraid this Wang Yan won't believe it!" ”
Wu Sangui listened, pondered for a while, and finally suddenly slapped the table, and said in a deep voice: "You take Wu Sanmei and Ying Lin together." ”
When he said this, Xia Guoxiang's mouth was open enough to put down an egg, and he was silent for a moment and then said, "Is Gongzi going too?" The prince wanted to change the truce for two days and take the opportunity to withdraw from the north gate, but the Ming army was under the city, and with all due respect, it would be difficult for the prince to leave Wanxian unnoticed. ”
