Chapter 463: Closing the Net
In Songshan Fort, everyone in the Qing soldiers was skinny, and three months might have passed quickly in peacetime, but now it is like half a lifetime.
Songshan Fort is built on the mountain, and the water source on the top of the mountain has been drunk, leaving only the snow melt water of the past, which can be received in a cave on the top of the mountain. The rest of the place was blown up, and even if there was water, it was impossible to drink, not to mention that there was a danger to life.
Three or four Qing soldiers stood by the water source at the entrance of the cave, leaning on their spears to stand still, and the people next to them held bowls and received water bowl by bowl.
The Northern Expeditionary Army under the mountain was already accustomed to taking turns to bomb, and a loud sound sounded in Songshan, and the faces of the Qing soldiers leaked a numb look.
Suddenly, fireworks rose in the city of Jinzhou, which was a signal to meet and attack together, Jiang Xiang, the chief general of the Qing army in Songshan Fort, looked excited, his hand was on the handle of the knife, and he refused to let go.
The surrounding subordinates couldn't help it anymore and shouted, "My lord, break through." β
"Horizontal and vertical are all one death, today we will fight again."
The gate of Songshan Fort was opened, and the remaining Qing soldiers rushed down the mountain together, and at the same time, Xingshan and Jinzhou were in the same situation.
The earth-shattering shouts of killing alarmed the generals of the Northern Expedition in the camp, Hou Xuanyan was eating, dropped half a bowl of porridge and rushed out of the big tent, holding chopsticks in his hand and muttering: "I underestimated Wu Sangui, this is to be desperate." β
After a while, several generals were dressed neatly, looking at Hou Xuan's hair and chopsticks, his eyes were a little weird.
"Whatever you are staring at me, the enemy is desperate, and they all give me a boost of spirit and fight this battle well. The Northern Expedition took ninety-nine steps, don't fall at the last step. Hou Xuanyan is still very imposing when he speaks, even if his current image is in the wrong situation.
More surprised than Hou Xuanyan was Dai Shan in Jinzhou City, he thought that the Ming army had attacked the city, but it turned out to be Wu Sangui who broke through.
Dai Shan was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he just said yesterday that he was going to retreat to Shenyang, and Wu Sangui opened the city to meet the enemy, this is to force himself to fight a decisive battle.
Dai Shan still had 30,000 Eight Banner soldiers in his hands, and he didn't want to lose them in Liaodong, but Wu Sangui also didn't want to go to Manchuria with him.
"Wu Sangui, this dog minion, I'm going to kill him!"
Prince Manda took out his waist knife, pinched his waist and said loudly: "Lord, now is not the time to scold him, I can only fight with him." β
Dai Shan nodded, and the rest of the Eight Banners were also put into battle, and the outside of the city had already been killed.
Although Dai Shan hated Wu Sangui to death, there was no way, if he didn't work together with him now, he wouldn't even have the last chance.
"That's it, it's just a day of delay to flee to Manchuria, so let's fight to the death with the Han people here." Dai Shan said helplessly, but the Qing soldiers under him all burst out with the last fighting spirit.
No matter what the situation is, whether they can work miracles or not, at least they can be relieved from endless bombardment and hunger.
Li Haoxian took the lead, followed by his beloved general Hu Bawan, these people rushed to the front, guiding all the soldiers of the original Huozi Battalion.
has never been left behind, to pull out the first merit of the Liao, even if scattered in the government soldiers scattered all over the country, their bodies will always be engraved with the brand of the fire word battalion.
Kong Youde was taking care of Geng Zhongming's funeral, and when he heard the shouting, he actually laughed.
"Wu Sangui, I have always underestimated him, but I didn't expect to fall into a desperate situation, but the master once, it's okay, I'll fight with him this time." After saying that, he turned over and got on his horse, and led the crowd into battle with his wounds.
Hou Xuanyan, who was standing in Gao Gang, gradually frowned, this time it really didn't look like Wu Sangui's style, this big traitor actually changed his sex, so bloody?
Others don't know, but Hou Xuanyan knows very well that Wu Sangui has always only known how to preserve his strength, and he doesn't dare to take risks even if he has a high probability of winning.
In the later rebellion of the three feudatories, he had elite soldiers and fierce generals, abundant money and food, but he only knew that he was the king and hegemonic in the southwest, and did not dare to cross the river and fight a decisive battle with the Manchus, and finally Wu Sangui died and the Manchus could not defeat the river.
Yan Yingyuan, who was beside him, frowned and pondered when he saw him, and asked, "Lord Wang, the situation is already clear, the enemy is just fighting before death, why is Lord Wang sullen?" β
Hou Xuanyan walked into the big tent, stared at the pine brocade on the sand table, pointed to an open space behind Jinzhou and said, "Are there guards here?" β
"Lord Wang, there is a small road there, and only those who flee to Quang Ninh will take this road. Now the situation is becoming clearer, even if the Qing soldiers fled, they would go to Shenyang, so no troops were sent here. Only then did Yan Yingyuan know that the prince suspected that Wu Sangui was going to escape, but Yan Yingyuan didn't think so.
Hou Xuanyan groaned: "Send troops immediately to blow up the mountain walls on both sides." β
"This..."Yan Yingyuan paused for a moment, but still decided to carry out Hou Xuanyan's order, the orders of the commanders of the three armies must be obeyed, otherwise there will be chaos in the army.
When all the Qing soldiers were fighting, Dai Shan deliberately paid attention to Wu Sangui's position and found that he was in the northwest before he was relieved.
If Wu Sangui wants to flee to Shenyang, he must cross the position and go from his side, which is impossible.
Wu Sangui was notorious, and even the Qing soldiers took precautions against him, but they still didn't expect that Wu Sangui had already made up his mind to flee to Quang Ninh. If it doesn't work, he will flee to the Rakshasa country, where he has already secretly allied with the Rakshasas. The battle of Wuliang in Mobei was fought at his instigation.
The artillery sent out from the battalion buried the explosives that were supposed to be bombed in the mountains, lit the fuse, and ran back with their ears covered.
The path to Quang Ninh was completely blocked by a blown boulder in the valley, and the reserve army that had come by order was stationed here.
Yuan Zongdi was bored playing with the short knife in his hand, he didn't think that there would be enemies fleeing from here, a lonely city in Guangning was the last city in Liaodong, if he fled to Guangning, it would be no different from sending him to death.
Everyone thinks that even if Wu Sangui wants to escape, he will go to Shenyang.
But after figuring out where Wu Sangui's main force was, Hou Xuanyan was even more convinced that he was going to escape, because how could Wu Sangui stay in the most dangerous place, he obviously wanted to use Dai Shan's 30,000 Manchu Eight Banners and Shenyang as bait to make himself take it lightly.
Hou Xuanyan sneered, Sangui, Sangui, you have exhausted your organs, but unfortunately I don't know that I have 100,000 reserve troops.
Even if I kill a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood before the battle, I still have 100,000 people in my hands, and I am ready to fight at any time.
The first to be unable to resist was Jiang Xiang of Songshan Fort, the soldiers and horses in his hands were all Shanxi Qing soldiers, and he had no intention of working for the Manchurians. In addition, this place is far away from the nine sides of Datong, and they are not Liao, so their fighting spirit is even lower. Although Jiang Xiang did his best to supervise the battle, he still had no choice in the face of the Northern Expeditionary Army, which was superior in strength, momentum, energy, fighting spirit, armor, and weapons.
Li Haoxian galloped on his horse and cut off Jiang Xiang's head with a knife in the crowd, like a god.
Gunpowder smoke filled the foot of Matsuyama, and in the smoke that the sun could not see, it was a pungent bloody gas. Corpses, charred flesh, torn armor and banners, the battle between the Han people can almost be declared to be over in this battle.
From then on, there will be no such large-scale fighting between Han people for at least a few hundred years, Hou Xuanyan stood on a high post with his hands behind his back, he did not need to command, this situation they had deduced hundreds of times in the big tent.
The various departments methodically followed the plan and strangled the Qing soldiers who were at the end of their rope.
The war has been fought so far, and it is already the trend of the times, and nothing can stop the wheel of the general trend of the world from rolling forward.
Dai Shan, Man Dahai, Luo Luohun, and Abatai are not brave, and the Han Eight Banners under Wu Sangui and Kong Youde can fight well, but they are powerless to resist the general trend of the world.
Hou Xuanyan's victory was already determined in the sails of the merchant ships coming and going on the sea. Even if he loses dozens of times, he has the capital to turn over, but the Qing soldiers do not.
Wu Sangui led his troops to flee to Quang Ninh, but was blocked in the valley halfway, Yuan Zongdi got up excitedly from the grass, spit out the dog's tail grass in his mouth, and began to throw stones into the valley.
Sharp-eyed saw the costumes and banners of this Qing soldier, and shouted: "General, this seems to be Wu Sangui's people." β
Yuan Zongdi was even more excited, clapped his hands and said: "This old boy also has today, smash it for me, and after the smashing, we will go down and capture Wu Sangui alive." β
Yuan Zongdi's team was born from the loyalty camp, and its predecessor was Li Zicheng's team.
Li Zicheng's Chuang Jun and Wu Sangui are bitter and bitter, and the hatred between the two sides is deeper than the sea, and they are unending enemies.
Boulder shells and firecrackers were fired, and the last Guanning army that dominated the world was almost completely killed and wounded.
The participating soldiers surrounded Wu Sangui in the middle, holding up a knife to protect the master, Wu Sangui is a person who can't do anything, but there is one thing that is particularly outstanding. He was very kind to his close subordinates, not only rewarding them richly, but also protecting them.
Wu Shuai turned the day, and the civil and military resigned. The scholars and women were shocked, and the farmers and businessmen were shocked by each other.
The biggest deed in this life is the traitor who sacrificed the customs and released the Qing soldiers into the Central Plains, and there are still many dead soldiers around him who have come to this point.
If it weren't for the surrender of the Manchus, this would have been the last pride of the Han people, but it is a pity that he, like Hong Chengchou, embarked on the road of humiliation of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty.
Throughout Wu Sangui's life, the first half of his life can be described as a young man who became famous all over the world.
The young Wu Sangui once rode alone to save his father, led his troops to repel 20,000 Qing soldiers, and for a time "filial piety heard about the nine sides, and bravely crowned the three armies." β
Yuan Zongdi led the troops with a cruel smile, he was bare-chested, and he was covered with ruffianism.
Different from Wu Sangui's family of generals, Yuan Zongdi came from the lowest level of the homeless people, and he followed Li Zicheng to fight more than a hundred battles, losing more and winning less.
Wu Sangui looked at the mud legs he despised the most, and slowly approached, and a lot of sorrow appeared in his heart.
If he had a choice, he would rather die in Shanhaiguan that year, neither surrendering to the Qing nor Shun, the Ming Dynasty is his successful court, and he should also be given a Danqing name.
He knew that he would die, but Wu Sangui didn't want to die in the hands of a clay-legged man, and to this day he still looks down on Yuan Zongdi and Li Zicheng.
"Put the knife down." Wu Sangui said in a deep voice.
The henchmen were full of horror, and they tried to remind Wu Sangui:
"Lord Wang, that's Hou Xuanyan, there is no way down."
"He won't let us go."
"Think twice, lord."
"Let's fight with them."
Wu Sangui was unmoved, he hated Hou Xuanyan deeply, but if he could choose, he would rather die in the hands of Hou Xuanyan than in the hands of Yuan Zongdi.
"Put the knife down!" Wu Sangui shouted angrily.
Yuan Zongdi was a little disappointed, and the credit for being able to capture Wu Sangui alive was naturally greater, but killing him was also a good opportunity to leave a name in history.
The blood feud of the Dashun East Route Army, Wu Sangui was behind their buttocks, chased from Shanhaiguan to Huguang Xiangfan, and did not know how many of his brothers he killed along the way.
"Sangui, at this time, you are still so knowledgeable about current affairs, haha."
Wu Sangui sneered, he didn't take Yuan Zongdi in his eyes at all, in his heart, he was always just an inferior person.
"Lord Wang, I will serve the Lord in the next life!"
The last few cronies drew their swords and killed themselves, obviously afraid of the cool rumors about the treatment of traitors in the Northern Expeditionary Army, only Sun Kewang, Ai Nengqi and others were still looking, and their brother Liu Wenxiu had just been smashed in the head by a big stone.
The city of Jinzhou in front has entered the stage of street fighting, and the Northern Expeditionary Army poured into the city to start the final battle with the Qing soldiers who were fighting to the death.
Hou Xuanyan overlooked the battlefield, his heart was very calm, he knew this result three months ago, but he didn't feel excited.
Having been preparing for too long was that, a natural victory, and it didn't bring him the excitement he expected.
In the distance, the armies of Songshan and Xingshan had begun to lean here, Li Haoxian led the crowd to kill under the city of Jinzhou, and Man Dahai saw that he had overturned many horsemen, and rushed over with a roar.
Li Haoxian's figure is burly, a few heads taller than Man Dahai, riding on a horse and watching him wield a big knife is quite funny, especially his eyes are injured, blood and tears are flowing together, and he can't help laughing: "Wu Nazi, but he was beaten and shed horse urine, victory or defeat is a common thing, and it doesn't have to be like this." β
Li Haoxian has been killing for so long, and he still has the strength to talk and laugh, and he speaks without breathing, he really deserves to be the first good man in Dengzhou, Shandong.
Man Dahai raised his big knife and slashed at him, Li Haoxian's hands hung under the horse, and he easily picked it up, instantly separating Man Dahai's big knife. Both weapons were made of iron, and the sparks splashed everywhere under the collision, and Man Dahai was at a height disadvantage, and the sparks flew to his eyes, making him grin in pain.
Li Haoxian laughed even louder, pulled the reins of the horse and took a few steps back, raised his spear and sprinted.
Man Dahai was frightened and wanted to block it with a knife, but the difference in strength was too great, the stabbed tiger's mouth cracked, and the big knife fell to the ground in response, Li Haoxian stabbed him under the horse with a shot.
Hu Bawan rode forward and split the north gate that had almost collided, and Jinzhou City was opened again.
"Hehe, lord, it's done." The generals who stayed on the high post high-fived each other, and everyone's faces were filled with the joy of victory, and after three months of bombing, to be honest, they themselves were annoyed.
Hou Xuanyan just wanted to say a few words, Qin He suddenly came, hugged his fists and said: "Lord Wang, General Yuan Zongdi ambushed Wu Sangui on the road to Guangning, and has now completely annihilated his troops and captured Wu Sangui. β
