Chapter 211: Divide the troops and advance
At this time, in the Manqing camp 40 miles north of the city, the prince of Manqingsu and the general of Jingyuan, Hao Ge was full of ambition and celebrated this great victory. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The night before yesterday, he appointed the commander of the Yellow Banner Protector Army, Ao Bai, who led the troops to Jinshanpu under the leadership of the rebel general Liu Jinzhong, and suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Great Western Army, and the Great Western Emperor Zhang Xianzhong was just discovered by Liu Jinzhong and after ten thousand arrows pierced the heart and was shot, Ao Bai led the department to launch a surprise attack on the 200,000 Great Western Army.
Zhang Xianzhong died in battle, the Great Western Army was leaderless, Zhang Kewang, Wang Zhaolin, and Yan Ximing each led their troops to flee, and a few generals did not know the situation and were still resisting stubbornly, but most of them had been scattered in all directions.
At first, the Manchu Qing army was small, Ao Bai and others could only lead the department to rush back and forth, and in the afternoon, the situation began to reverse after Hauge led a large group of men and horses, and the Manchu army continued to assemble, rushing around to kill the fleeing crowd.
By the evening, the ten-mile battle around Phoenix Mountain was basically over, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty defeated more than 100,000 people of the Great Western Army in one fell swoop, broke through 130 camps of the Great Western Army, and captured more than 12,200 horses, mules and livestock.
The Han people are like a herd of cattle that have lost their heads, without a strong person to lead, everyone has to take care of themselves everywhere, looking at the fleeing crowd, Haoge ordered the Chinese army to protect the commander Ao Bai and lead the troops to clean up the battlefield, and ordered the Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhentun Qita to clean up the battlefield, and ordered the Red Flag Gushan Ezhen Du, the Mongolian Eight Banners Gushan Ezhen Ma Laxi and others to lead the green battalion Zhang Desheng, Li Hualong, Gao Mingzhan, Li Guoying, Ma Huabao, Bai Yongfu, Liu Jinzhong and others led the soldiers and horses to pursue the fleeing enemy.
Seeing that he was assigned such an errand, Ao Bai was quite unhappy, especially when he saw that the generals were leaving, and he complained to Hauge repeatedly.
Hauge smiled slightly, and after letting Ao Bai walk in, he whispered, "Why are you so ignorant? Zhang Xianzhong has been in the Central Plains for more than ten years, it can be said that he is rich and rivals the country, you can help me find out if I can find gold and silver artifacts, with these things, the two yellow flags will have the day to get ahead. ”
As soon as he heard the two yellow flags, Ao Bai was shocked in his heart, thinking about how majestic the two yellow flags were when the emperor was there, but since the regent of Dolgon, he has continuously divided and attacked the ministers of the two yellow flags, and the ministers Tan Tai, He Luohui and others have sued Haoge for his troubles, and Haoge was demoted to the king of the county once, which made the ministers of the two yellow flags quite dissatisfied.
Li Zicheng made tens of millions of taels of silver jewelry from Beijing, and Zhang Xianzhong should have a lot of jewelry.
Thinking of this, I asked people to search again and again, and after searching all over the mountains, there were not many valuable treasures on the mountain except for the chestnut trees that were sawn into sections.
Ao Bai interrogated a few captives, and when he heard that there might be a treasure hidden in the chestnut tree, everyone was overjoyed, and when they opened it, they saw white silver and glittering jewels one after another.
According to simple statistics, there are a total of 2,000 short chestnut trees, each of which has 1,000 taels of silver, and a carriage can pull 40 such short chestnut trees, so there are 2 million taels of silver.
There were 800 chestnut trees with long roots, gold and jewelry, and more than 4 million taels of silver were seized after the First World War.
In addition, there were more than 20,000 soldiers and horses captured alone, plus the 40,000 soldiers and horses he brought into Sichuan, and the Tartar army expanded to 70,000 at once.
Seeing so much wealth and looking at the sharp increase in soldiers and horses under his command, Haoge was overjoyed in his heart, and said to Luo Luohun, the king of Yanxi County next to him: "Luo Luohun, it seems that I have developed so much, and I can't imagine that the Liukou has so much wealth, it's really incredible."
Luo Luohun also said greedily: "Prince Su, I heard that the two white flags have gained a lot after entering Jiangnan, but they have never reported the seizure of gold, silver and jewelry, and when the time comes, we can tell the other generals that they have only seized 800,000 taels of silver." ”
When Hauge heard this, he patted Luo Luohun on the shoulder, and immediately ordered Ao Bai to collect the captives and escort these goods with the army on the pretext of escorting grain and grass in the Qing Dynasty.
Just after the tidying up, by the evening of the next day, news came from the front-line departments one after another, hearing that the Onishi Army was now fleeing to the various departments, and the departments in charge of the pursuit had also made many gains, and the generals under the tent said that they were happy.
When it was time to hold the lamp, a thousand generals in front of him ran covered in blood, and saw Haoge kneeling down and said: "Prince, the last general is incapable of being intercepted by the loyal army, and more than 1,000 brothers only brought back more than 400 people, and the rest have been slaughtered by the loyal and righteous army." ”
Haoge was shocked in his heart, and said from his seat: "It's Yang Xuan, this, how is this possible?" Tell me, what's going on? ”
Mr. Qian cried and finished speaking intermittently, and Dorobelenikan shook his head and said: "Prince Su, the day before yesterday, Vice General Liu said that Zhang Xianzhong and Yang Xuan confronted each other in this Phoenix Mountain.
This green battalion has become more and more bold since following our army, and it dares to go deeper into the enemy's territory for more than 20 miles, not to mention that their green battalion army, even our Manchurian Eight Banners have to weigh it, so it seems that it is normal for this green battalion to be ambushed. ”
After his big victory, he actually appeared in this scene, Haoge was angry in his heart, but now when he heard Nikan say this, his face sank and said: "You Han people are not enough to succeed and more than to lose, our army has just shot Zhang Xianzhong, what a feat it is to defeat 200,000 soldiers and horses, I can't imagine that the scenery is ruined by this guy, it is really disappointing." ”
Immediately, he dragged this Qian out and beat fifty military sticks to relieve the resentment in his heart.
Meler Ezhen Ho Luohui was originally a subordinate of Hauge, and in the past, he had reported Hauge's misdeeds to Dolgon, and he wanted to give Hauge a little eye medicine, so he said: "Prince Su, the day before yesterday, Vice General Liu said that Yang Xuan's loyal army was our fierce enemy in Sichuan, and today Ge Qian's headquarters was defeated, so it gave us a wake-up call." ”
Haoge glared at He Luohui, shook his head and said: "Our army commander drove straight into and killed Zhang Xianzhong, defeated his 200,000 soldiers and horses, and killed more than 20,000 people, what a great achievement, even if Duoduo soldiers entered Nanzhili, it was only so."
Ge Qian was killed alone, this is just a small episode, what do you mean by mentioning this today? ”
Thinking of the grievances with Haoge, He Luohui's heart sank, and he sighed: "Without him, after the defeat of Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army, I only hope that Prince Su can share the strong force to go south, so that Yang Xuan can taste the power of our Great Qing Iron Cavalry." ”
Hao Gehe smiled and said: "General He, the first emperor once held a banner when he was alive, and you still need to be reminded of this kind of thing?" ”
Seeing that the two sides had grievances against each other, Luo Luohun, the king of Yanxi County, came out to persuade: "Liu Jinzhong's general Yang Xuan will speak the loyal and righteous army to the gods, this king is not talented, and he is willing to lead a partial division to the south to capture Yang Xuan alive, so that he can taste the power of my Eight Banners Iron Cavalry." ”
Haoge said with a smile: "Everyone, since entering the customs, our Eight Banners have been invincible and invincible, and the giant Kou Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are now in different places, and the Ming army is insignificant."
Yang Xuan took advantage of our army's lone army to set up an ambush and set up a small setback for this green battalion of soldiers and horses, but as long as my Eight Banners Iron Cavalry arrived, it was okay for these Ming troops to open the city and surrender, otherwise we would only have to slaughter the city.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Han people have always been cowardly by nature, and the reason why Li Zicheng fought from Xi'an to Beijing within three months was the slaughter of the city after the destruction of the city without opening the door to surrender after announcing the three-way drum.
The reason why Duoduo was able to easily capture the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River was because he had been killing in Yangzhou for ten days, and Yang Xuan would also sacrifice the city after the invincible Manchurian Eight Banners arrived. ”
Heluo will remind: "The two princes, although Zhang Xianzhong was the head, his main force has not suffered the slightest loss, and now fleeing to various places will inevitably become a hidden danger in the future."
Now Yang Xuan led tens of thousands of loyal and righteous troops entrenched in the city of Shunqing Mansion dozens of miles away, how could he allow others to sleep soundly under the couch, and it was better to concentrate on attacking the loyal and righteous army with all his might, and then attack everywhere after the defeat of the loyal and righteous army, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”
In addition to what Heluo would say, the commander-in-chief Li Guoying also implicitly put forward various warnings, when the Mongols entered Sichuan, they divided their troops after controlling Lizhou (after Guangyuan), and then divided their troops after controlling Shunqing, but they encountered the main force of the Southern Song Dynasty under Diaoyu City and failed to attack the city, and finally the Mongolian Khan was actually killed by the artillery fire on the city, and the 100,000 Mongolian army collapsed.
This made everyone laugh, especially Luo Luohun shook his head again and again: "My Eight Banners athlete is good at field battles and not good at attacking cities, and now Zhang Xianzhong has given the head, and the whole Sichuan is shaken."
We should take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attack everywhere and defeat the remnants of the Great Western Army and the remnants of the main force of the Ming Dynasty, so as not to attack one city after another in the future.
General He and General Liu said that the loyal and righteous army was amazing, and we only need to send a partial division to attack it with all our might, and we must not delay the fighter plane because of this, so I am afraid that there will be endless troubles. ”
When everyone heard this, they applauded loudly, just like the arrogant and arrogant Japanese generals in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and even after the victory, they did not take the Ming army in their eyes.
