Wuguan defended Zhongzhou people, and the wall was guarded against the enemy from the east.

Now Gao Yihuan occupies Wuguan, but he is guarding against the enemy in the pass and preventing Li Zicheng from leaving the pass, so it is necessary to carry out certain transformations on the wall.

In November, the weather was cold, and many soldiers of the Wei Wu Army only wore single clothes and sweated like rain on and off the city.

The soldiers dug trenches in the pass, built sheep and horse walls, arranged horses and antlers, and shoveled the steps to the city.

Outside the city, the original moat was filled in a section, or wooden planks were put on it, and wooden towers were directly erected on the city, so that the soldiers could directly climb the city wall.

The gates were also torn down, replaced with a side, and installed on the inside of the walls.

In this way, the entire Wuguan is equivalent to turning around, from outside the defensive pass to inside the defensive pass.

Of course, after this temporary change, the defense of Wuguan was naturally greatly reduced.

When the soldiers were busy piling sandbags on the city wall, debugging trebuchets, and hoisting a few cannons on the city wall with ropes, Gao Yihuan led a group of generals to the city wall to check.

Suddenly, several cavalry in the distance galloped and ran directly to the gate, "Report!" The Shun army is fifteen miles away! ”

Gao Yihuan heard the sound, walked to the inner wall, held the sandbag in one hand, glanced at the scout who reported the report, and then turned his head and said, "Let the battalions be armed!" ”

Several generals of the Wei Wujun immediately clasped their fists and bowed.

Not long after, there was a burst of war drums on the pass, and the busy soldiers inside and outside the pass immediately stopped what they were doing and began to line up and set up defenses.

This time to defend the enemy soldiers is not the same as defending the city in the past. Since the enemy is attacking from the inside of the pass, the pressure on the inner wall alone will be very great.

After all, it was a temporary renovation, and there was not enough time, and the inner wall was not sheltered by a wide moat, and it was easy for enemy troops to approach the city wall.

In order to deal with this, in addition to arranging a large number of musketeers, archers, and artillery on the pass, the Wei Wujun also placed many melee killer teams under the inner wall to prevent the enemy from approaching the city wall.

The main reason for this arrangement was that there were no wide moats on the inside, and the enemy's ladders and siege engines made it too easy to get close to the city walls.

Therefore, Wei Wujun built a chest-high low wall with sandbags and soil outside the inner wall, and a large number of soldiers stood behind to line up to prevent the enemy from climbing the city and approaching the city wall.

At this time, the soldiers under the city, with swords and shields in front and spears behind, had already set up their formations, while the soldiers in the city were busy setting up their artillery, and the officers were checking the equipment of the soldiers.

The teams of the firearms squads looked at the twelve soldiers standing in a line, and as they walked in front of them, they touched the firearms of each of them, checked that they were straddling their bodies, hanging the straps of the firing bottles, and then looked at the projectiles in the iron box to see if there was any omission, and finally drew the war knives from the soldiers' waists, and then returned them to the scabbard.

Before the Wei Wujun encountered a major battle, the officers would check the equipment of the non-commissioned officers, so that the non-commissioned officers would not make mistakes when the battle began.

"Dashuai, here!" When the Wei Wu soldiers were preparing, Zhao Daxian suddenly pointed to the distance, "The turtle sun really didn't plant, and he didn't dare to do it with the Tartars, but he came at us." ”

Gao Yihuan hurriedly took out the clairvoyant mirror, looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw a big flag appear, followed by various Huangluo umbrella covers, and various flags, which were Li Zicheng's honor guards.

", Lao Li's pomp is not small!" Gao Yihuan put down the clairvoyant mirror and turned back to everyone: "Can you see how many people there are?" ”

The generals stood at the head of the city and looked out, and saw that the wilderness in the distance was full of human figures, banners like clouds, spears like forests, innumerable, like a blue ocean, like sea water gushing out from between two mountains, to fill the Wuguan.

"There is no end in sight, and the secrets are innumerable, at least hundreds of thousands of people." Bai Wenxuan squinted and replied.

Hu Dawei on the side snorted coldly, "The pass is narrow, even if there are millions of thieves, they can't use it, and it's useless if there are too many people!" ”

Gao Yihuan smiled, "Yes, although Li Zicheng is a large number of horses, most of them are rabble. In such terrain, no matter how many horses he has, he can't use it, so he can only add fuel to the battle. ”

Saying that, Gao Yihuan sneered, waved his hand and ordered, "Pass the order, once the enemy is close, all departments don't have to show mercy to their subordinates, give Ben Shuai a head-on blow, and wake up this group of turtle grandchildren!" ”

All the generals behind him clasped their fists together and solemnly received the order, "Oh! ”

At this time, on the field ten miles away from Guancheng, behind a big flag, followed by a nine-dragon crank yellow canopy, two cloud gongs, ten yellow nine-dragon umbrellas, twelve large flags, countless small flags, and wrestlers holding swords, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks and other ceremonial weapons.

After Li Zicheng's guard of honor, the boundless soldiers of the Shun army marched with their heads bowed, their morale was low, like a defeated army fleeing.

Faced with the current crisis, Li Zicheng finally decided to continue his strategy of going south.

He left Liu Zongmin in Shangzhou to lead 100,000 horses to guard against the Qing army that followed, and he led more than 200,000 people to pounce directly on Danfeng, and after finding that Gao Yihuan had withdrawn, he pounced directly on Wuguan.

Li Zicheng wanted to beat Gao Yihuan, in addition to Gao Yihuan blocking his way south, there was another reason, that is, he couldn't tolerate it, and Gao Yihuan, who had lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to him, shouted at him.

This wolf-hearted thing betrayed his trust.

Li Zicheng gritted his teeth, wanting to defeat Gao Yihuan, tell this traitor, let him know that I can promote you and destroy you, let this traitor know that he is wrong, and make him regret that he should not betray.

At this time, Li Zicheng saw Wuguan from a distance, and as soon as he waved his hand, the army stopped.

He stared at Guan Cheng for a moment, and couldn't help but snort coldly, "Hmph, I want to see how the traitors can stop my army." ”

After speaking, he suddenly turned his head to a personal guard and said, "You go to the city and tell Gao Yihuan to get out and see me." ”

On the city, Gao Yihuan was inspecting the defense of the soldiers of the Wei Wu Army, and saw the soldiers on the city wall standing with firearms in their hands, and saw the swords, shields, and spears under the city standing solemnly, and when he was nodding secretly, Zhao Daxian on the side suddenly pointed to the distance, "Dashuai, Li Zicheng has sent someone over!" ”

Not long after, a team of Shunjun cavalry, galloped to the wall two hundred steps away from the horse to stop urgently, their crotch war horses kept using the hooves of the horse to pluck the ground, led by a cavalry, while pulling the reins, while turning the neck, seeing the black hole in the city, couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, shouted at the city: "Your Majesty Emperor Dashun, please Gao Yihuan out of the city for a while." ”

A general ran up to the city with a war knife, walked quickly to Gao Yihuan, and reported on one knee, "Qi Qi Marshal, Li Zicheng please Marshal, outside the city for a while!" ”

Needless to say, Gao Yihuan also heard the shouts of the Shunjun cavalry, and he smiled slightly, "Okay, Li Zicheng is obsessed, Ben Shuai will do a good deed, enlighten him, let him know his way back, and Ben Shuai will also accumulate some merits." ”

So saying, he asked people to reply to the people, and told them to meet three miles before the city, and that each side should bring fifty people, and then let them bring his outfits.

After listening to the report, Li Zicheng immediately pulled out the reins and galloped out.

At this time, Li Zicheng's mood is like a man who has been betrayed by a woman he likes, he must ask Gao Yihuan why he betrayed, and at the same time he must scold Gao Yihuan and say a cruel word, otherwise he will not be able to eat and be happy in his heart~
