Chapter 663: The Two Armies Meet
Wu Sangui heard the soldier's report, and was silent for a while, he suddenly waved his hand, "Stop first!" “
After saying that, he turned over and dismounted, brought the map, beckoned all the generals to come over, and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Several members of the department will squat on the ground, looking at the spread out map, which depicts the terrain of northern Sichuan very clearly, the geography of mountains and rivers, cities and villages and towns are all on the map.
Jinniu Road is the main road into Sichuan, but there is Jianmen Pass as the road, Yinping Road is in the west of Jinniu Road, the road is more difficult to walk than Jinniu Road, it can't be called a road at all, but he can bypass Jianmen Pass and pounce directly on Chengdu.
Hu Guozhu said: "Back then, Zhong Hui confronted Jiang Wei in the Sword Pavilion, Deng Ai went out of Jiangyou and attacked Chengdu, Gao Yihuan likes to surprise soldiers, it is not impossible to attract us at Jianmen Pass, and then go out of Jiangyou County to outflank our back road!" ”
Guo Tuzhuang doubted: "This trick has been used by predecessors, and it is difficult to do it in Yinping Dao, we have already taken precautions, isn't Gao Yihuan afraid of being blocked in Yinping Dao?" I think that at most it is a partial division, and it cannot be the main force. ”
Wu Sangui frowned when he heard this, and asked the scout who reported the news: "What is the specific situation on Jiangyou's side?" ”
The scout hurriedly said: "Back to the king, we found the vanguard of the Wei army, the opponents are very powerful, they are all elite soldiers, and they killed more than a hundred of our brothers in one battle. They have now retracted into the Yin Ping Dao, and General Liu is afraid that only the enemy will be the forward, so let the humble post rush to report it! ”
Wu Sangui looked at the other person again, "What about the Sword Gate?" ”
"Returning to the king, the Wei army used a kind of artillery, which could shoot at the city more than a mile away, and the artillery could blow up the cannonballs that hit the city. The Wei army was tackling key problems, and General Xia asked me to ask for help. The soldier returned on one knee.
Wu Sangui's heart sank, could it be a flowering bomb?
At this time, Wu Sangui had already made a judgment, he stood up, "Yinping Road is difficult to walk, the baggage is impassable, at most 10,000 Wei troops will come, the king of Xia Guoxiang understands, if he is not sure, he will not be in such a hurry to send someone for help." ”
"What do you mean?" Hu Guozhu asked.
Wu Sangui groaned for a while, "This king is aware of Gao Yihuan's intentions, it may be that this king will fortify everywhere and disperse his troops, but this king has to divide his troops to defend according to his wishes." Fear everything! ”
Saying that, Wu Sangui looked at everyone and said solemnly: "Hu Guozhu, you lead 5,000 people to Jiangyou to set up defenses, and the rest of the people and horses will continue to Jianmen Pass with this king!" ”
The generals of the Guan Ning Army glanced at each other, clasped their fists one after another, and then dispersed.
At this time, the Guanning army was divided into two groups, Hu Guozhu led the troops to turn around and advance westward, and Wu Sangui continued to run northeast.
Not long after, the army arrived in Zitong, and Wu Sangui originally planned to garrison Zitong, so that he could take care of Jiange in the north, Jiangyou in the west, and Bazhong in the east.
At that time, he will be able to calmly support any emergency, but now he does not need to garrison Zitong, 35,000 troops, and rush directly to the direction of Jianmen Pass.
Two days later, the main force of the Guan Ning army had already entered the territory of the Sword Pavilion, less than fifty miles away from the Sword Gate Pass, but at this moment, there was a crowd of people in front of them.
"Lord Wang, a defeated army is coming!" The scout galloped back and reported urgently.
Needless to say, Wu Sangui had already seen the black line in the distance, he took out a clairvoyant mirror to look, only to see a few miles away, thousands of defeated troops, not riding mixed together.
The first general looked flustered, who is it not Xia Guoxiang?
Wu Sangui's face was instantly gloomy to the extreme, last time the Xia Kingdom guarded Fengxiang Mansion, let Gao Yihuan defeat him, robbed him of his grain and grass, and made him fall into passivity, so he could only cooperate with Gao Yihuan.
This time, Wu Sangui thought that Xia Guoxiang had fought with Gao Yihuan and knew more about the Wei army, hoping that he could learn a lesson, be ashamed and brave, and repel Gao Yihuan.
It seems that he is very wrong, this deflated calf, the first time he runs, he can run the second time, and he messes things up again.
In an instant, Wu Sangui couldn't wait to smoke his two big-eared posts.
"Lord, what should I do?" Guo Tuzhuang saw the defeated army sweeping over, and asked urgently.
Wu Sangui's face was gloomy, and he reined in the restless reins of his horse, "The army is arrayed, and the cavalry responds to the defeated army!" ”
Under the bombardment of Wei artillery, the Guanning army put up a stubborn resistance, but because the artillery shells blocked the passage of the Guanning army to support the wall, after a day of fierce fighting, the Wei army still controlled the wall.
At night, the Xia State counterattacked overnight, and was repelled by the self-generated fire of the Kesheng army, and the Wei army cleared the stones blocking the gate overnight, and the army poured into Jianmen Pass, but Xia Guoxiang still used the narrow road to resist step by step.
At this time, the gap between the two armies was revealed, the Wei army's guns were far away, and the range of the Guanning army was short, and it was originally the Guanning army that set up a card to block the attack, but the Wei army stood outside the range of the Guanning army and began to fire guns, and the Guanning army was completely passively beaten, and after resisting several times, the Wei army broke through Dajian Mountain and entered a relatively open area, and the Xia Guoxiang was completely defeated.
At this time, on the wilderness, thousands of Guan Ning troops, mixed in one place, fled in a hurry.
Most of the Wu soldiers discarded their armor, and nearly a thousand Wei cavalry behind them pursued and killed on horseback, and the horse army slashed and harvested with swords, cutting down the backward Guanning army to the ground.
Xu Heihu galloped forward as always, the big axe in his hand was already full of blood, he chased all the way, and there were more than ten more lives under the big axe.
He galloped his horse, smashed a cavalryman in front of him off his horse with an axe, and set his eyes on the next target, but at this moment, there was a low horn in the distance, and when he looked up, he looked south, and saw thousands of horsemen coming from the south, and the cavalry were all holding up their bright spears.
Reinforcements from the Guanning Army have arrived!
Xu Heihu's eyes narrowed, he slammed the horse's belly, caught up with the previous leader of the Guan Ning army, slashed his head to death, and then pulled the horse's reins violently, and shouted angrily: "Withdraw!" ”
The pursuing Wei cavalry blew their horns, and the sharp trumpets echoed in the wilderness, and when the Wei cavalry heard the sound, they immediately reined in their horses, turned their horses' heads one after another, and retreated backwards.
Thousands of Guanning cavalry, but bypassed the rout, galloping towards the direction of the retreat of the Wei army's horse army.
After the Wei army broke through the Jianmen Pass, the army quickly rushed forward, intending to get out of the Great Sword Mountain Range as soon as possible.
At this time, the Wei army brigade was behind, and the sentry cavalry came out in all directions, opening up the eyes of the army. The mountain road is densely packed with Wei soldiers in black armor, the banner hunts and hunts under the mountain wind, the infantry and the baggage stretch for several miles, the scene is extremely spectacular.
At this time, under the banner of Daxu, Gao Yihuan was in high spirits, riding proudly on his war horse and moving forward with the army.
"Report!" Suddenly, they came galloping together.
Gao Yihuan hurriedly pulled out his horse and pulled the war horse to the side of the road, and the guards behind him also moved out of the way, so that the follow-up men and horses could continue to march.
At this time, the cavalry went against the flow of people, galloped all the way, restrained the war horse not far away, flew down, and then ran forward quickly, kneeling on one knee, "Report!" King Qiqi, twenty miles ahead, find enemy reinforcements! ”
