Chapter 557 East Wins and West Loses

At the foot of the foggy mountain, tens of thousands of Ming troops stood between the mountains and forests, all over the mountains, swords and guns were in a forest, banners were hunting, soldiers raised their spears, or waved their arms to the sky, and raised them again after putting them down, undulating and stretching, like waves, and the shouts of victory resounded in the sky.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

At this time, Wang Yan and the generals rode on their horses, and slowly advanced with the Daxu flag, and a red carpet seemed to be laid between the mountains and forests.

Huguang defeated the Eight Banners, Sichuan and Shu broke Guanning, and the morale of the Five Loyal Army was in full swing, this sense of pride and identity, once established, more than 100,000 people identified with a community, with a strong centripetal force, its momentum was irresistible.

"Report, Qi Yu Xianggong, Kesheng battalion to clear the enemy on the mountain, the enemy general Guo Zhuangtu was beheaded by General Liu."

"Report! Qi Yu Xianggong, the infantry battalion to reach the southern foot of the Foggy Mountain, the enemy general Chen Junji defeated the army and surrendered. ”

The Ming army advanced, and from time to time fast horses came rushing and kicked up a cloud of dust, and the knight turned over and came down, and hurried up to report on one knee.

Wang Yan reined in the war horse, and the army behind him immediately stood still, exuding the momentum that the elite should have, he leaned over to look at the sentry horse, pointed at the foggy mountains in the distance with his horsewhip and asked loudly: "Has Wu Sangui entered the mountain?" ”

"Back to the prime minister, the Wu thief escaped into the mountains, and it has been about two hours."

Hearing this, Wang Yan nodded, and Chen Bangyan on the side pondered: "There is no road in the mountains, Wu Sangui's thousands of defeated troops have entered the mountain, and the action should be relatively slow, and thousands of people and horses have entered the mountain, and there must be traces along the way." Xianggong, chasing or not? ”

"If you don't die if you fight a tiger, you will leave a future trouble. Chasing, why not chase? Wang Yan said with a smile, looking complacent, and he immediately ordered, "Let Qin Gongming and Qin Yiming come to see their true appearance." ”

After a while, the two generals hurriedly came over and clasped their fists and saluted, "Goodbye, Xianggong." ”

Wang Yan nodded, "Wu Sangui fled into the mountains, only the two of you are good at fighting in the mountains and forests, and now there are 5,000 native soldiers, and the two of you can immediately enter the mountains to pursue, and the Wu soldiers will be completely disabled." ”

"No, the last general will definitely live up to his mission and capture and kill the Wu thief." The two generals immediately clasped their fists and responded silently.

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news, you two are members of the Qin family, don't insult the prestige of the Qin Taibao."

Wang Yan waved his hand, told the two to retreat, and then let the army retreat.

With Wu Sangui escaping, the first battle of Wanxian County has basically ended, and the Wu army that fled in the mountains and forests was defeated, and under the search and arrest of the Ming army and the people, they could not escape the encirclement, so they had to go out of the mountains and surrender to the Ming army.

In this tragic battle, the Guanning army suffered a lot of casualties due to the Ming army's previous killing and revenge, wanton killing, more than 13,000 people were killed, and the final surrender of the people and horses, only more than 4,800 people, in addition to more than 5,000 people who fled with Wu Sangui into the north of the mountain, there are thousands of people missing, and the Ming army also lost nearly 3,000 people.

At this time, the whole battle situation has been decided, and there is a mountain in front, which is not conducive to the movement of the army, and it is enough to leave the soil soldiers to pursue, as for whether Wu Sangui can be captured, it depends on Wu Sangui's luck.

The main force of the Ming army slowly returned to Wanxian, and the mountain roads along the way were full of Ming troops and people leading war horses and driving the captives back to the camp.

Although the army failed to completely annihilate the Guanning army, it captured countless materials and armor, especially more than 30,000 war horses, which can be described as a rich harvest.

In the Ming Dynasty's "Water Margin", Ximen Qing rode a tall green horse, estimated at seventy or eighty taels of silver, and the forty-third chapter wrote two horses of Yunli Temple, Ximen Qing Xiang once, saying that it was not a good horse, even if the horse was not very good, these two horses were worth seventy taels of silver.

Although the book writes about the Song Dynasty, it is written by the Ming people, which somewhat reflects the price of horses in the Ming Dynasty, and now the Ming Dynasty has lost half of the wall, and the war horses are more difficult to obtain than in the early Ming Dynasty, and the value has long been doubled, and these war horses alone are enough to make up for the consumption of the Ming army to send troops to Sichuan and Shu.

Guanning's horses were all obtained by the imperial court, and the real fat and ointment of the people, and the Liao salary even dragged down the entire Ming Dynasty, and now it can be regarded as returning to the original owner.

The Ming army retreated to the camp one after another, counted the captures, cleaned up the battlefield and corpses, and prevented the plague.

Wang Yingxiong, a bachelor who retreated to the eastern part of Kuizhou, together with the remnants of Zeng Ying's army, also rushed to Wanxian, Wang Yan immediately asked Wang Yingxiong and Zeng Ying to guard the eastern part of Sichuan, clear out the bandits in eastern Sichuan, and disperse into the mountains of Guanning defeated the army, and the main force of the Ming army was ready to move to Chongqing, and then go to Hezhou to meet Haoge.

But at this moment, a clipper boat went down the river from Chongqing, bringing a shocking news to the Ming army, the Western Route Army was defeated, Chen Bangfu and Ma Jixiang surrendered, Ding Kuichu fell into the water and died, more than 30,000 people disappeared, Haoge was in a hurry to pass the Buddha Tuguan, and the Chongqing government was in great crisis.

"Ba County Chronicles" recorded: "Yuzhou Linjiang, the land route is only the Buddha Tuguan line wall stands ten thousand thousand, the two rivers are like a belt, it is really the throat of the main area, can guard the whole city can be safe." ”

Fotu Pass is out of Chongqing Mansion, along the East Road Chengdu only land pass, Li Guoying at first guarded here, Wang Yandong went down to Kuizhou, ordered Shizhong, Jiao Lian to guard Chongqing Mansion, but also to explain the two, to focus on guarding this pass.

This is Wang Yan's cautious explanation, but he didn't expect that the Qing army really broke through Hezhou and came to this pass.

After Duoduo learned that Wang Yan entered Sichuan, he hurriedly got up the Chengdu Eight Banners to go south, to Hezhou, the city was occupied by the West Route Army, choking the passage of the Qing soldiers to the south, Haoge immediately drove more than 100,000 people, day and night siege of the city.

Seeing that the Qing soldiers were all over the mountains and fields, and used the people as ants, they filled the river and attacked, and they were very frightened at first, but after a few days of fighting, Ding Kuichu and others were suddenly not afraid.

The Eight Banners soldiers could not endure the scorching heat, their combat power was greatly reduced, they rushed to the city in cotton armor, did not climb the city wall, they couldn't do it alone, there were no less than hundreds of people who suffered from heat stroke every day, and the Qing generals saw this and brought people and horses shirtless to battle, but without armor protection, the Qing soldiers died faster, and they didn't even climb the city wall a few times.

Seeing this, Haoge had no countermeasures, and it was helpless to be trapped in the city, and at this time, the Qing soldiers were not satisfied with the water and soil, the weather was hot, and there was an outbreak of epidemic in the camp, and there was no way to take Hezhou.

In this way, the Qing army attacked the city several times, but there was no achievement, and the generals of the Western Route Army felt that the Eight Banners were not remarkable, but Erer.

The battle of Hezhou, gradually entered a state of stalemate, Haoge saw that there was no progress in the siege, there was no hope of breaking the city, and his heart was born with the intention of retreating, Ao Bai took the opportunity to admonish, simply showed weakness to the Ming army, and then the army returned to the north, seducing the Ming army out of the city to fight.

Aobai's strategy quickly worked, the Qing army was embarrassed under the city of Hezhou one after another, and the confidence of the West Route Army in the city became more and more bursting, and they knew that the Qing soldiers were so easy to fight, they should have gone out of Gui to resist the Qing Dynasty earlier, otherwise they would not let the five loyal troops dominate.

At this time, as soon as the Qing troops withdrew, Ma Jixiang became anxious and began to instigate Ding Kuichu to send troops to pursue, take the initiative to enter Chengdu, and not let Haoge escape.

Ding Kuichu still remembered a little bit of Wang Yan's instructions, "Hold on to the city, don't fight with the enemy in the field", but Ma Jixiang and Chen Bangfu thought that Wang Yan was worried that the Western Route Army would steal his limelight, and kept persuading and instigating, Ding Kuichu was also a little moved in his heart, so he immediately let Chen Bangfu and Ma Jixiang lead 20,000 horses to pursue.

Haoge lured Chen and Ma to the Chengdu Plain, and suddenly killed a horse pistol, tens of thousands of Eight Banner cavalry rushed in turn, and more than 20,000 Western Route Army immediately collapsed.

The defeated soldiers fled to the state, explaining the battle situation, saying that the Qing soldiers returned, Ding Kuichu was so frightened that his face was colorless, and the Sichuan governor Fan Yiyu persuaded him: "There are still 10,000 people in the city, and the Qing army is not tolerant of the heat, so it can still be persistent." ”

But Ding Kuichu had lost his heart and didn't listen at all, so he abandoned Hezhou with his soldiers and horses and ran to Chongqing, but the army didn't go more than ten miles before he was caught up by the Qing cavalry, and the army was in chaos, Ding Kuichu fell into the Fujiang River and drowned, and the West Route Army suffered countless casualties, and only a few men and horses fled to Chongqing.

(Two changes today, and I will make up tomorrow.) Thanks to the 388 of the trench, thank you for the reward of Yue Leng's nest core,)
