Chapter 512: The Road Meets the Defeated Division

In mid-June, when the Ming Army of the Western Route made great progress, the Eastern Route Army also advanced rapidly along the Dejiang River after pacifying Shiqian.

The rear battalion of the front army, led by Tusi, who was familiar with the terrain, walked along the river beach and opened its eyes for the army.

I saw that on both sides of the Nade River, there were densely packed soldiers in armor, the battle flags fluttered in the wind, and the team transporting grain and grass materials stretched for several miles, which was extremely spectacular. \u000bUnder the handsome flag, Gao Yigong sat proudly on horseback, and a Miao Zhai toast was introducing him to the terrain in front of him. \u000b"Twenty miles ahead is the confluence of the Dejiang and Yujiang rivers, where Pengshui County is located, and where the army can spend the night in the city. Tomorrow to the north will enter the Shizhu Xuanfu Division, that is the place of Qin Taibao, the army can rest assured to pass, and after five days, the army can be on the Yangtze River, across the river is Wanxian. ”

Gao Yigong nodded, and now his group, in addition to the 40,000 people who set off from Hunan, also carried the 20,000 Ming troops of Zhang and Huang in Shiqian, plus 7,000 Tusi men and horses in Xiangxi and Qiandong, and 30,000 people, a total of nearly 100,000 horses, which is even stronger than the Middle Route Army.

Fortunately, before Gao Yigong, he and Li Guo had experience in commanding more than 200,000 Shun troops, and everything was in order. He is very ambitious now, but the only thing that worries him is that after the crowd, the grain and grass start to get nervous.

Listening to Tusi's words, Gao Yigong nodded, he had to admit that the benefits of being close to Tusi in Qiandong, without Tusi's support, he would not have marched so fast at all.

"It's been a month since this time, and I don't know what the situation is in Wanxian? The Western Army and Zeng Ying won't have been wiped out by the Qing soldiers, right? Liu Tichun on the side said casually.

"It's hard to say! Although Wanxian is easy to defend and difficult to attack, once Zhang Xianzhong dies, no one knows what will become of the Western Army. As for Zeng Ying, he originally had four or five thousand soldiers and horses, and he also suffered a defeat in Ba County, and the result was indeed very hanging! Gao Yigong said flatly, he didn't care about the result of Wanxian, this was not because the Shun army had a holiday with the Western Army back then, but because he had 100,000 horses in his hands, and he had confidence in his heart.

"Newspaper" came at a gallop.

Gao Yigong and the generals drove their horses to the side, grabbed the reins, and the knight rushed to the front to report: "Qiqi Duzhen, General Wang found that more than ten miles ahead, a large number of troops came along the river. ”

Could it be the Qing soldiers?

"How many soldiers and horses are there?" Gao Yigong asked.

"It is estimated that there are nearly 10,000 people, as if they are fleeing for their lives, the line is very long, the clothes and armor are mixed, there is no flag, and they are very panicked!"

Gao Yigong glanced at everyone and frowned, "Let the army stop!" Then order Wang Ji to ambush both sides of the army, and if it is a bandit, he will be strangled directly! ”

"No~"

After Sun Kewang abandoned Wanxian, he fled south into Shizhu, without respite, Wu Sangui's pursuers crossed the Yangtze River, they had boats collected from Chengdu and Chongqing, and they crossed the river very quickly, killing Sun Kewang by surprise.

10,000 Western troops, running quickly, were about to be bitten by Wu soldiers, and happened to meet the soldiers and horses led by Tan Wen, Tan Yi, and Tan Hong, the hereditary guards of the Ming Dynasty's Zhongzhou Guard, who were active in Zhongzhou, and were ready to go to Wanxian to help defend the city.

Sun Kewang saw that he met more than 3,000 friendly troops, so he decided to fight an ambush, so as not to chase the Qing soldiers, but the cooperation between the two armies was rusty, there was no tacit understanding, and the cannon sounded, one side went out early, and the other side went out late, and the ambush failed, but was killed by the Qing army and defeated.

The Western army and the Ming army were mixed together and fled in a hurry, and the only thing to be thankful for was that the terrain was limited, which was not conducive to the pursuit of cavalry, so that even if they were defeated, it would be difficult for the Qing army to catch up.

At this time, they ran for a long time, it is estimated that the Qing soldiers will not be able to catch up for a while, and the remnants of the soldiers, who are really tired, will find stones on the river beach and sit down, but at this moment, there is a sudden sound of cannons, from both sides of the river beach, I saw a large group of soldiers and horses pouring out.

The soldiers were half frightened to death by the sound of the cannons, but the sight of the soldiers and horses pouring out made them stand still.

The sun and moon and the bright flag hunt with the wind, and the Ming army of Santan is very familiar with this, and the western army has been fighting with the Ming army for many years, so they naturally recognize the flag. If they had encountered this situation a few years ago, they would have been terrified, but now when they saw the banner of the Ming Dynasty and were chased and killed by the Qing soldiers, they almost cried.

Sun Kewang was also stunned when he saw this, he looked around the river beach, there were nearly 10,000 horses, could it be that this is the Ming Dynasty reinforcements that the Western Army has been waiting for.

Gao Yigong and many generals, when they came to the front, they saw that the river beach was full of marching stoves, the Ming soldiers had already prepared hot soup and rice, and the defeated soldiers who had been hungry for some time suddenly turned into jackals and beasts, swarming up, eating and drinking.

Sun Kewang and the others sat on a chariot, holding a bowl of broth in their left hand and eating a piece of meat and bone in their right hand.

At this time, Wang Ji led Gao Yigong and others over, and said as he walked: "Dudu, General Sun is ahead." ”

When Sun Kewang heard this, he stood up in unison, he already knew from Wang Ji that this group of people and horses was one of the people and horses who came to aid Sichuan on three routes, there were 100,000 people, and the commander was Gao Yigong, a former rebellious general.

Originally, because he didn't want to be co-opted, he deliberately avoided Chudi, where the Ming army was strong, and wanted to get into Qiandi to seek a chance to make a comeback, but he didn't expect to fall into the arms of the Ming army.

The three-way Ming army, as a partial division, has 100,000 people in the East Route Army, so there are more soldiers and horses in the army, Sun Kewang can't believe it, how did the Ming Dynasty have so many soldiers and horses at once, in addition, he didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty would rest assured that a thief-born general would lead an army of 100,000.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves, Sun Kewang and others are the kings of Daxi, but now this king obviously doesn't count, but he is unwilling to make a low posture in front of Gao Yigong, so his heart is very entangled.

When the four of them saw Gao Yigong and Liu Tichun coming, they just arched their hands, still wanting to maintain the majesty of the Western Army: "General Gao, help each other more." ”

Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng made the Ming Dynasty together before, and before the two fought evil, they had always cooperated a lot, so Gao Yigong and Sun Kewang had met a few times.

Gao Yigong didn't care about these details, looked around, and saw that the Western soldiers, who were known for their fierce and good at fighting, had become like this, and sighed in his heart, "It's all old acquaintances, Brother Sun doesn't have to be like this, what happened to make it ......"

Hearing him ask, Li Dingguo and the others were speechless. After a long while, Sun Kewang sighed and said, "The division is like a mountain falling." ”

Gao Yigong glanced at each other after hearing this, and then asked, "What is the situation in Nawan County?" How many Qing soldiers were there in pursuit? ”
