Chapter 1179: Battle of the Three Kings (2)

In Chinese history, an era name represents a dynasty, and what era name is used to remember things in later generations, the dynasty represented by this era name is the orthodox dynasty of China at that time.

Now today's Gandi branch year is the Jiawu year, the Western calendar year is 1654 AD, the Ming Dynasty is the five years of co-governance, the Jin is the seven years of Yongzhang, and the Qing Dynasty is the eleventh year of Shunzhi.

In March of this year, the Central Plains is destined to have a big war related to the fate of the world, the regent of the Ming Dynasty, the king of Chu, the army, determined to sweep away the chaos in the world, recover the rivers and mountains, so that the world is Fengzhengshuo, with the name of the next year.

At the beginning of March, the ice and snow in the Central Plains melted, and the Yellow River had thawed, which meant that the Qing army could not cross the river on ice.

The Ming army went down the hill, clearly trying to delay, but Dolgon couldn't afford it, he didn't have that much time.

In addition to Shanxi asking him to pacify, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been fighting again since August last year, which affected last year's autumn harvest, not to mention, Shanxi's rebellion, Henan and Shandong are under the Ming army's troops, and it will also affect this year's spring planting.

The Manchu treasury had already bottomed out, and Dolgon couldn't afford to drag it out, so he had to attack one disciple and force Wang Yan to fight a decisive battle.

The situation on the battlefield is so wonderful, Wang Yan sent a large army to come, Shang Kexi held on to Luoyang, the Ming army wanted to work hard, it could only suffer heavy casualties, he won a little initiative for the Qing army, but Wang Yan took a step back, along the mountain and down the village, the position of attack and defense immediately changed.

The Qing army was short of food, so Wang Yan could only lead the nose to attack Wang Yan's camp, and Wang Yan firmly controlled the initiative in the war.

Dolgon knew this, but he didn't do it, and the Qing army could only turn the crisis into peace if the Qing army defeated Wang Yan in a quick battle and won the victory in the Central Plains War.

The strength of the Jin-Qing coalition army in Henan exceeded 210,000, and the number of people who could be directly put into the battlefield was 190,000, except for the men and horses guarding important passes.

On the fifth day of the first month of March, on a sunny day, Dolgon left only 5,000 men to guard Luoyang, and then led an army of 190,000 to approach the camp of the Ming army.

At noon, the Jin-Qing coalition army reached the foot of Wan'an Mountain, and the Ming army's sentry cavalry had already discovered the traces of the Qing army, and Pegasus entered the camp to report.

The camp of the Ming army was built against the mountain, stretching for more than ten miles, and the horses galloped in front of the camp, constantly reporting the location of the enemy.

After Wang Yan and the generals got the news, they had already climbed the watchtower. Today's weather is clear, the spring sun is high, the sky is cloudless, and the view is excellent. Wang Yan and the generals looked north, and saw that the crowds of people all over the field were converging, there were few people in front, but the more people got behind, the denser they were.

"Report! The enemy army is seven miles from the battalion! The sentry galloped back, turned over and dismounted, and bowed on one knee.

This watchtower is very high, the line of sight is urgent, the weather is clear, and you can see it without visiting the horse to report to Wang Yan and others.

Wang Yan saw several miles of land at once, and saw the roar of horses' hooves in front of the enemy, and the guns and flags behind him, so he immediately asked: "Look at it, how many men and horses did Dolgona bring?" ”

Li Guo looked at it, "I can't see how many miles this stretches from front to back, plus the foot riding is mixed, it's hard to estimate, but look at this posture, I'm afraid there must be 200,000!" ”

"Didn't Dorgon bring everything he could? Looks like he's trying to fight hard! Liu Fangliang said with a smile.

Wang Yan also had a smile on his face, "There are no 200,000, I'm afraid it won't be far from ten, Dolgon is really anxious!" ”

"Haha..." Seeing the Qing army all over the mountains, Wang Yan was not surprised and overjoyed, and suddenly looked back and said: "Dingguo, let you do the war-free card well, hang it up for the lonely king!" ”

"It's already been hung up!" Li Dingguo hugged his fists.

Wang Yan bowed slightly, "Well, pass the order, all armies only guard the camp, and no one is allowed to fight without Lone's order!" ”

Since the Qing army has come, then he only needs to wait for the Qing army to lack grass, the morale is exhausted, and the East Route Army is outflanked, so that the Central Plains can be decided in a battle.

Wang Yan's order was conveyed, and the soldiers and horses of each battalion immediately ran out of the camp tent and organized a defensive line behind the wall.

As the Qing army approached, the noise came like a wave, and it could be heard from miles away, and there was a lot of chaos.

The Jin-Qing coalition army continued to advance, stopping at a place three miles away from the camp, Dolgon led a hundred horsemen to run out, galloped for a mile, stopped at a distance of about two miles from the Ming army camp, and overlooked Wang Yan's camp.

The camp of the Ming army stretched for more than ten miles, and the wall of the wall was full of Ming soldiers, giving people great pressure. Dolgon let out a breath, and the war horse under his crotch was frightened by the murderous aura of Mingzhai, and he didn't listen very well, so that Dolgon had to pull the reins to control the war horse while turning his neck to take a closer look.

At this look, good fellow, Dolgon couldn't help but curse his mother in his heart, Wang Yan's gang not only built a wall, but also dug trenches and traps outside the camp to prevent the cavalry from attacking, placed antlers and horses to resist, and the defense was very perfect, if he was given a little more time, maybe that guy could build a city here.

Dolgon looked at the camp, a big banner danced provocatively, his eyes were gloomy, he didn't expect Wang Yan to be so insidious, he had already calculated that he would attack, so he set up a defense, and when he hit his head, he used a strong camp to consume the warriors of the Qing Dynasty.

"Baha, go and shoot the king's war book into the Ming camp!" Dorgon suddenly turned his head and said.

Dolgon sought a quick battle, so he learned the allusions of the Han people and wanted to have a date battle with Wang Yan. If the two sides spread out in the field, he had the advantage of his forces, and the number of cavalry was large, and he was eighty percent sure that he would defeat Wang Yan.

Before coming here, Dolgon wrote a war letter very carefully, and he typed the draft twice, he knew that Wang Yan could endure it, like an old Wang Ba, and at the same time he also heard that Wang Yan had a good face and liked to be in the limelight, so he did not use inferior tactics in the war book, but praised Wang Yan, and even patted him on the back, admitting that he was powerful and famous, and said that he wanted to compete with him.

Hearing Dorgon's order, a white-armored Niu Lu immediately led two cavalry galloping towards the gate of the Ming military camp.

The Baha Thorn galloped to a hundred steps at the camp gate, and suddenly reined in the war horse, and there were nearly 100 firearms aimed at them on the wall, and the flag behind him was already sweating, but the Baha Thorn was an old flag man, and he regarded the Han people as grass mustard, and there was a momentum on his body that had once refused to admit defeat.

He grabbed the restless war horse with one hand, and raised a handwritten letter with the other, and shouted loudly: "The regent of the Qing Dynasty, send a war letter to the king of Southern Ming Chu..."

However, before he finished speaking, the Ming army on the wall of the wall opened fire directly, only to hear a sound of guns, Baha's assassination was not finished, was beaten upside down from the horse and flew out, the two flagmen behind, shocked, in a sound of guns, hurriedly turned the war horse, one of the war horses raised the speed, was hit in the back and rolled off the horse, and the other person crouched on the horse and escaped in a hurry.

Dolgon's face turned pale when he saw this scene, and the faces of many generals were not good-looking. The remaining one person galloped back, turned over and dismounted, and knelt on the ground in a hurry to report, "Regent, the Ming army didn't accept the war letter, and shot it, by the way, the slave saw that the Ming camp hung up a war-free card!" ”

"The two countries are fighting each other, and they don't kill them! Wang Yan's house is really unreasonable..." Dolgon hated so much that his teeth itched, and he was angry in his heart, but in the end he still didn't scold, because he had done a lot of things in the Qing Dynasty, his face was red for a while, and finally his tone suddenly changed, and he snorted coldly: "Hmph! It seems that Wang Yan's gang is preparing to be a turtle with a shrunken head, hiding in the camp and not coming out! ”

Dorgon looked at the generals, "Don't think that this will make it difficult to win. Wang Yan hid in the camp, that is, he surrendered to the king in disguise, and he refused to accept the battle letter, because he thought that he was not the opponent of my Qing army. How is this camp better than Dalinghe City, Wang Yan wants to block us with a rotten wall, I think he is delusional. The order went down, and the army immediately rushed to make equipment and used siege techniques to deal with the Ming camp, and the king couldn't break him if he didn't believe it! ”

Listening to what he said, the generals of all ethnic groups around him barely raised their confidence, but Shang Kexi on the side poured a basin of cold water at this time: "Regent, there is something to remind me, the firearms of the Ming army are powerful, if you attack the camp, the role of the equipment must be at least halved!" ”

Shang Kexi was stationed in Heluo for nearly ten years, fought four times with the Ming army, and hundreds of small battles, especially last year's attack on Nanyang, his red-clothed artillery collapsed the city wall, but he never entered the city, a very important reason is that the Ming army firearms are powerful, such as ladders, goose carts and other large equipment, not close to the city wall, either broken or lying on the road, or burned.

When Dolgon heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid, Wang Yanzhan's camp stretches for more than ten miles, like a big snake in front of this king." You don't have to be majestic for Wang Yan, this king has the confidence to cut off his big snake piece by piece, and besides, this king drives 200,000 people, Wang Yan's camp is an iron wall, and this king will also trample it to rot! ”

Thanks to the 1000 of the brothers of the national army, the reward of the light of the Han Dynasty, in addition, the author asks the book friends to do a favor, give a few more five-star reviews, the author is young, and he can't resist criticism!
