Chapter 556: Vitality Injury
From the north of Wanxian County to the foot of the Foggy Mountain, the stretches of mountains and forests have become battlefields, and there are a few fires scattered everywhere.
After the two armies were disrupted, the soldiers soon found that if it were not for the large group of men and horses, they would basically find death if they raised the fire, and these points of light were slowly extinguished, and finally only a few large areas remained, moving on the road.
The battle that took place in this area, although there was no confrontation of the large formation, the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties were in chaos, you have me, I have you, the battle was scattered between the mountains and forests, but it was not easier than the general war, but more tragic.
The whole battlefield can only be described by the word "chaos", in the darkness it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and us, in addition to the Ming and Qing armies killing each other, their own people often fight together, cold guns and dark arrows make the torch in the mountains and forests and beside the road extinguished from time to time.
One of the biggest misunderstandings is that Wu Guozheng, who was broken off for Wu Sangui, mistakenly killed Guo Yunlong, a guerrilla attack of the Guanning Army, and made a big oolong.
Judging from the goal of this battle, the Qing army was to evacuate, and the Ming army was to pursue and annihilate the Qing army, so from the beginning of the battle, the outcome was basically doomed, and the problem was only the problem of the Qing army losing more and losing less.
As time passed, when the battle reached dawn, the men and horses of the two towns, who had been waiting all night, began to enter the battlefield, and then the battle quickly became clear.
Although the Guanning army was well-trained, battle-hardened, and extremely strong in combat, when the Ming army was pressed from the south, the Guanning army, which was scattered in the mountains and forests and was divided into countless units that had fought with the Ming army all night, finally had no way out, and many people chose to surrender, but the Ming soldiers did not accept it, and a large number of surrendered troops were killed.
The two armies of Governor and Zhongyi, who attacked last night, may not be very clear, Wang Yan has always wanted the Guanning cavalry, these troops can be formed into an army with a little rectification, why would the loyal and loyal soldiers wantonly kill prisoners? But when the Ming army entered and occupied Wanxian last night, they found that the entire Wanxian County was a ghost town, with corpses all over the place, and the plasma was all over the instep, and the Ming soldiers were indignant, so they retaliated.
This kind of massacre lasted for a long time, everything from the mountains and forests of the Qing soldiers, basically directly cut down, once Wu Sangui was sent by Wu Sangui to the Shanhaiguan outside the Shanhai Pass to rescue Dolgon's deputy general Yang Kun, led 300 defeated troops to stick to a hill, to surrender to the Ming army, the result was also killed.
It wasn't until Wang Yan's military order came, which was strictly forbidden, that the Ming army stopped killing prisoners, but there was also a burst of beatings.
On the whole battlefield, the Ming army was crushed to the north all over the mountains, searching for people and moving horses, the momentum was like a rainbow, behind them, tens of thousands of people, also holding flat poles, shovels, bamboo guns, dozens of people in a team, beating gongs and drums all over the mountains and forests to search the mountains and forests, and catch the fish that slipped through the net.
The Ming army pursued, the Guanning army was chaotic, Wu Sangui did not stop his steps, but buried his head and continued to break through to the north and escape.
He knew very well in his heart that if he stayed at this time, even if the blocking was successful, or he would defeat the pursuers with an ambush, but once it was dawn and Wang Yan's main force pounced, he would be completely finished.
Wu Sangui was flustered, kept beating horses, dozens of personal soldiers followed him, and the Guan Ning army on the road lost their armor one by one, and some even lost their horses and rice grain.
At dawn, they finally gradually got out of the battlefield, the shouting and killing were getting farther and farther, the Qing soldiers ran all night, many people took off only single clothes, and then Hu Guozhu caught up and pulled the reins of Wu Sangui's war horse, "Lord Wang, the chasing soldiers are gone." ”
Wu Sangui was shocked, he straightened his crooked helmet, took a few breaths, looked at the tired men and horses, the dignified Guan Ning army was so embarrassed, it was really sad to hear it, and the people who saw it were in tears, so he waved his hand, turned over and dismounted, and let the army rest for a while.
Wu Sangui looked at the front and back of the team, and he could see the beginning and the end at a glance, and his heart was suddenly extremely cold, more than 30,000 Guan Ning troops went around in this Kuizhou, and the rest was probably less than 5,000 people, which made him have no face to see the elders of Liaozhen.
In fact, there are still a large number of Guanning troops, who were not killed or captured, but ran away from the main force, I don't know which ravine to go around, but these stragglers are brave, in fact, there is no difference between them and death, Wu Sangui will definitely not have time to collect the defeated army.
These stragglers either starved to death in the mountains, fell to the grass on the spot, or simply went down the mountain to surrender to the Ming army, and there was basically no other way to go.
Wu Sangui looked depressed, his heart was melancholy, waiting for the surrounding generals to comfort him a few words, but Hu Guozhu and others on the side also looked miserable, and the Qing soldiers around him were all depressed, seeing that the former Guan Ning Xiongshi had become a remnant of the defeated army, he said in his heart, I am afraid that Guan Ning's morale will be over.
Seeing this, Wu Sangui hurriedly collected the melancholy in his heart, and had to encourage: "You don't have to worry, although there are heavy losses this time, there are still more than 5,000 people, and the strength still exists. Rest assured, today's losses will be made up for by this king sooner or later. ”
There was a lot of melancholy in everyone's eyes, and they could only hope so.
At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the rear, and I saw a cavalry team of more than ten people chasing up, and the person headed by was Gao Dejie, the general of the Wu army, who galloped all the way, and anxiously urged all the way: "Get up, the Ming army is catching up, hurry up and run!" ”
The Guan Ning soldiers, who were lying on the side of the road, were immediately shocked when they heard this, and their souls were scattered, and they all fled forward in a panic.
Although I walked all night, but because the terrain is complicated, I can't see the road conditions clearly, so in fact, it is not far from the city, only more than 20 miles, and now the day is dawn, the distance of 20 miles, the Ming army chased up and naturally came.
Wu Sangui also hurriedly praised the war horse, at this time Gao Dejie had already arrived at his side, the armor was damaged, there were still a few feather arrows in the gaps of the armor, the helmet was long gone, and the body was covered with blood, obviously experiencing a bloody battle.
"Where is the Ming army? Is there still a soldier Ning in the back? Wu Sangui asked while urging the war horse.
Gao Dejie's face was very tired, he shook his head, and said gloomily: "Yang Kun surrendered and was killed, Guo Yunlong died, Wu Guozheng was beheaded by Li Dingguo, and now Guo Zhuangtu has more than 200 people, surrounded by Liu Wenxiu, it is estimated that he will either die in battle or surrender, and he will escape only after opening a bloody road, and most of the Guanning soldiers behind him have surrendered or fled into the mountains and forests." The Ming army is now only about five miles away from us. ”
Wu Sangui's heart completely sank into the abyss, and the soldier could be recruited if he died, but as soon as this general was gone, Guan Ning lost half of his essence, and it would be difficult to recover. ”
