Chapter 561: Hauge retreats
The sound of gold in the Qing barracks sounded, and the Qing soldiers who attacked Fotu Pass retreated like a tide, and Ao Bai looked back at the city with annoyance, and led the army to withdraw to the camp with some unwillingness.
The Ming army reinforcements arrived, indicating the end of the battle of Kuizhou, it was no longer meaningful for Haoge to continue to attack Chongqing Mansion, with the main force of the Ming army returning to the division, this battle of eastern Sichuan, the Qing soldiers had lost.
If it was a plain land, Haogedao was confident that he would meet Wang Yan for a while, but in the mountains all over eastern Sichuan, he had no confidence, and there was no need to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army in eastern Sichuan.
The war pays attention to the right time, the right place and the right people, when it comes to the sky, it is now the day of July, the heat is unbearable, which is not conducive to the battle of the Eight Banners, and the geographical advantage is stressed, the mountains in eastern Sichuan are all over the place, and the hills are undulating, which is not conducive to the battle of the Eight Banners cavalry.
These three things do not occupy a little, the battle of eastern Sichuan, for the Qing soldiers is very unfavorable, Haoge sent troops to get Wu Sangui a hand, now that the battle of Kuizhou is over, he has lost his strategic goal.
In the face of more than 100,000 Ming troops into Sichuan, Haoge felt a little alone, the Qing soldiers returned to the camp, and the remaining more than 40,000 Qing soldiers immediately set fire to the camp, and led the troops north to the Chengdu Plain.
If the Ming army did not come, the Qing soldiers would survive the scorching summer while mobilizing the green battalion infantry army, and wait until autumn and winter to fight with the Ming army for eastern Sichuan.
Fotu Pass, three days after Wang Shixiu's arrival, Wang Yan brought the main force to the pass.
Surrounded by a group of generals, Wang Shixiu led him into the pass, there are still traces of the war on the wall, the huge gate disappeared, only a few pieces of broken wood remained, the door hole was stained with blood, as if painted in general, the broken knife and gun, can be seen everywhere.
"What about Haug's retreat?" Wang Yan asked as he walked.
"Withdrawn." Wang Shixiu nodded, "The last general has few soldiers, so he doesn't dare to pursue rashly, and the time to clear the troops should be faster than Hezhou." ”
"Is he going to retreat to Chengdu in one go?" Wang Yan smiled slightly, looking in a good mood.
"Xianggong, you can't let that guy escape like this, the last general will ask for his life to pursue!" Yuan Zongdi clenched his fists and said.
"Trench is also a famous general of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is a wise move for him to choose to retreat at this time, presumably he is also waiting for us to chase him." Wang Yan waved his hand, "Since the Qing soldiers have passed through Hezhou and entered the Chengdu Plain, there is no need to chase, first, we have too few cavalry, and second, we can't catch up if we want to, unless Haoge intends to let us pursue, then we can't chase." ”
The generals nodded when they heard this, and they all felt a little pity, the army had just broken the first strong army of the Ming Dynasty, and the morale was naturally greatly boosted, and now it is a pity to catch and beat whom, and failed to fight with Haoge, and add a little merit.
Wang Yan walked with everyone, suddenly stopped, looked at Wang Shixiu and said, "Where is Yishi?" Why didn't you see him coming? ”
Wang Shixiu's expression darkened when he heard this, "Back to Xianggong, I'm afraid General Yu won't be able to do it." ”
Wang Yan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly quickened his pace, and hurriedly walked towards the city, and after a while, Wang Shixiu led him to a row of low houses under the gate, and there were several officers of thousands of households standing outside, their faces full of sadness.
Wang Shixiu pushed open the half-hidden door for Wang Yan, Wang Yan immediately entered, and saw a person lying on the bed, his face was pale, his body was almost covered with bandages, the blood from the wound leached out, and patches of red leaked out of the white bandages.
Wang Yan looked at it, and couldn't help but feel a chill rise from the bottom of his heart, and the whole person stood in place for a long time, only to see that Yu Shizhong had suffered at least ten wounds on his body. Most of the blood stains from these wounds have been blackened, but the blood soaked out of the right chest and left rib is still bright red, as if it is impossible to live.
"The Qing army broke the gate, and Yu led hundreds of wounded soldiers to fight with the Qing soldiers, and beheaded more than ten soldiers, but he also suffered heavy losses." Wang Shixiu said in a low voice.
"Xianggong, father~" Yu Youming, who was guarding the bedside, choked up when he saw Wang Yan coming in, and he didn't finish his words.
Seeing this, Wang Yan patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, at this time, Yu Shizhong woke up in shock, and saw everyone, "When the prince comes, I feel at ease." ”
Hearing this, Wang Yan immediately rushed to the bed, grabbed Yu Shizhong's hand, the wound was bleeding nonstop, and the weather was hot, Wang Yan knew that Yu Shizhong was no longer good, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and he sighed and asked: "Yishi, what else do you have to say." ”
"Jiashen is in trouble, the mountains and rivers are swinging, and a certain Chang Si Ma leather shroud is to repay the country, and now there is a minister, and a certain heart is at ease." As he spoke, Yu Shizhong's face suddenly flushed, he coughed a few times, but he unwillingly clenched Wang Yan's hand and continued: "A certain hate, the slaughter of Kunshan, Manyi killed my entire clan, and a certain can no longer gallop the battlefield and avenge blood hatred." ”
"Yishi rest assured, Manyi is trying to make my people, this hatred of the sea of blood, more than 100,000 soldiers of the five loyal armies, all of them are of the same heart as you, and they will avenge this revenge."
Yu Shizhong nodded when he heard this, and looked at Yu Youming on the side, Yu Youming hurriedly knelt down and walked to the bed, and listened to Yu Shizhong's instructions: "Die for my father today, don't bury it in the wilderness, don't bury it in a foreign land, my son can cremate his father's bones, when will Wang Shi return to Kunshan, and when will his father bury his hometown!" ”
After finishing speaking, Yu Shizhong coughed violently a few times, and the wounds on his whole body burst and died, and Yu Youming on the side was already howling.
The battle of eastern Sichuan, which took place in the summer of the third year of Longwu, strategically speaking, ended with the defeat of the Qing army and the victory of the Ming army.
In terms of losses, in order to defeat the elite of Guanning who served the Manchu Qing Dynasty and seize Sichuan, the Ming army also paid a heavy price, the 30,000 people of the Western Route Army were almost all wiped out, Ding Kuichu drowned, the Hou Ye of King Gui's regime died a lot, and the East Route Army and the Middle Route Army also paid more than 10,000 casualties, and lost a lot of generals, especially Yu Shizhong thought it was even more with the command of the Fengjie Battalion in Zhongyi Town!
In this battle, the losses of the Qing army were also very huge, Wang Zuntan, the governor of Sichuan, fell into the water and died, nearly 7,000 Mabu troops, all of them were killed, on the battlefield of Kuizhou, the Guanning army and the green battalion soldiers lost nearly 30,000, the wounded were not counted, dozens of officers above the general army were killed, more than 30,000 horses were captured, and countless instruments and armor were captured.
Wu Sangui in the Ming army waved the army to cover the killing, the corpse of more than 20 miles, although Wu Sangui himself fled into the mountains, but the Guanning iron cavalry has basically been beaten miserably, the Ming army cut off a huge threat of cavalry, will be conducive to the reversal of the Ming and Qing offensive and defensive momentum!
After this battle, the land of Sichuan and Shu, the Qing army was greatly weakened, the Qing soldiers in eastern and southern Sichuan began to shrink to the Chengdu Plain, inspired by this news, the rebels hiding in the mountains of Shu rose up when they heard the wind, and Sichuan and Shu were shaken.
