Chapter 572: Guanzhong Crisis
As soon as the Guanning horse army withdrew, the infantry army immediately began to collapse, and the Wei Wu army covered all the way, and the three thousand Guanning infantry troops were either killed or surrendered on their knees.
Xia Guoxiang led more than 2,000 Guan Ning Tie cavalry to flee back to Baoji, but did not enter the city, and went directly south into Dasanguan and went to Hanzhong to vote for Wu Sangui.
Thousands of Qing troops in Baoji, seeing the defeat of the Guanning army, knew that the Wei Wu army was coming, and they were afraid of being surrounded in the city, and they didn't care about many of them who fled south directly with the tail of the Guanning army, crossed Erli Pass, and finally settled in Dasanguan.
Xu Heihu led the selection of the tiger horse army, chasing and killing all the way, and after arriving at Erli Pass, Jin Xiangang suggested waiting for Gao Yihuan's main force before the army stopped.
Erliguan and Dasanguan are two adjacent passes, because in the Song-Jin agreement, it is mentioned that Dasanguan is the boundary, so Dasanguan is more famous, and Erliguan is a bit unknown.
These two passes, the Dasan Pass is the pass in the south to defend the invasion of Hanzhong, and the Song Dynasty belonged to the defensive side during the Southern Song Dynasty, so the Dasan Pass was built very majestic and strong, and it undertook the heavy task of guarding against the invasion of the Jin army.
Erli Pass is a pass where the army in the north defends the south and enters the pass, but because most of the time, the north is strong and the south is weak, so the pass is not much built, and it is basically a state of desolation in the Ming Dynasty.
After Wei Wujun chased to Erli Pass, there was Dasan Pass in front, and the Guanning army had a wall to stabilize its position, Xu Heihu had no heavy artillery, and his troops were also a little insufficient, so he stopped his pace.
At this time, Gao Yihuan's goal of entering the customs, occupying Xi'an and blocking Wu Sangui, has been basically completed, only the direction of northern Shaanxi remains, and there is no definite news coming.
On the sixth day of the first month of 1647, the fourth watch in the night, the city of Luoyang was dark, ten thousand sounds were silent, only the city head flashed with sporadic torches, and the street occasionally sounded the sound of beating the watch.
In a blink of an eye, Luoyang fell into the hands of the Qing army, it has been three years, and now the population of the city has decreased sharply, and the city is dark and very quiet.
At this time, outside the west city, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came, several cavalry each rode two war horses galloped over, and rushed to the west gate in a moment, and the cavalry led by shouted urgently: "Open the city gate quickly!" MI100,000 is urgent. ”
The defenders of the city were alarmed, and one of the generals leaned out to see that there were only three messengers, so he let down the hanging basket, took the document for customs clearance, and slowly opened the city gate.
The soldiers pushed the city gate creaked, and the three Qing cavalry did not wait for the city gate to be completely opened, so they beat their horses and crossed the two city gates and galloped towards the city.
The Qing army at the head of the city watched the cavalry disappear into the streets, and couldn't help but wonder: "Boss, why is it so urgent for the New Year?" “
The general frowned slightly, "From the west, I heard that the Guan Ning army and the western thieves are fighting, maybe it's news from this aspect!" “
The soldier was surprised: "It's so urgent, it's not like you've won the war!" Could it be that the Guanning army was defeated? “
The general glared at the soldiers, "Don't talk nonsense, King Qin's Guan Ning army is comparable to the western thief, Li Chuang has been defeated, not to mention the western thief!" “
The soldiers at the head of the city discussed, and the galloping cavalry galloped along the street, and had arrived in front of the palace of Huaishun.
The clatter of horses' hooves in the streets woke up residents along the way, wondering what was going on? Some people lit oil lamps, and the windows lit up, but they were blown out again.
The three Qing soldiers turned over and dismounted in front of the palace, and the first person climbed the steps, pulled up the copper ring of the beast's head on the copper nail gate, patted the door vigorously, and shouted urgently: "Emergency military situation, report to the prince immediately." ”
Recently, Geng Zhongming sat in Luoyang, preventing Gao Yihuan from going out of Ruzhou to invade northern Henan, and he was busy until the third watch every day.
During the first month, it should have been a time to rest, but Geng Zhongming was still busy summarizing various information every day.
Recently, I received news that Gao Yihuan's forward advanced to the eastern Henan region and did not aim at Luoyang, so Geng Zhongming was relieved and was able to rest well.
At this time, Geng Zhongming was snoring, his nose was snoring like thunder, and a big hairy leg was still pressing on the concubine, making the young concubine feel so painful that she couldn't sleep at all, and she didn't dare to push.
When the concubine's body was about to be numb, there were suddenly several knocks on the door outside the house, and then someone called in a low voice, "Lord Wang~ Lord Wang~ There is an urgent military intelligence report!" “
After calling a few times in a row, Geng Zhongming still slept like a dead pig, after entering the customs, life got better, Geng Zhongming's face turned white in three years, and his waist was fat, coupled with excessive indulgence, his physical fitness was not as good as before.
When the concubine heard the voice, she was bold and gently woke up Geng Zhongming, "Lord Wang! Wake up, Lord! ”
Geng Zhongming woke up in shock, stared at a pair of red eyes, and seemed to want to eat people.
"Lord Wang, it is said outside that there is an urgent military intelligence report." The concubine curled up in fright and hurriedly explained.
Not long ago, it is said that there was a concubine who disturbed Geng Zhongming's sleep, and was chopped up by Geng Zhongming the next day and fed to a vicious dog.
I heard that it was an emergency military situation, Geng Zhongming sobered up, could it be that Yudong was fighting?
At this time, he had already heard the voice outside the house, it was his henchman Chen Shaozong, so he hurriedly put on his shoes and got out of bed, put on a coat, and walked out of the bedroom, "Come in!" But Gao Yihuan's news? ”
At present, the only thing that can be called an emergency military situation is the news related to Gao Yihuan.
Chen Shaozong pushed the door in, the concubine lit the lamp, and went back to the bedroom.
"Lord Wang, it is indeed Gao Yihuan's news, we are all tricked by this. The sound of Donkey Day has hit the west, and it has entered the Guanzhong! Chen Shaozong said urgently.
"What?" As soon as Geng Zhongming sat down, he stood up in shock, his face full of surprise.
Chen Shaozong said: "Lord Wang, Gao Yihuan's main force entered the pass, a group of soldiers and horses captured Tongguan from behind, and the Tongguan defenders fled to Shaanzhou, and the governor of Shaanzhou sent an urgent report from the horse. Such a big event, Shaanzhou will not joke. ”
"Where's the military newspaper?" Geng Zhongming's face showed hideousness, he knew that Shaanzhou would not lie about the military situation, but he still couldn't believe it in his heart, Gao Yihuan actually ran away.
???? Chen Shaozong presented a volume of military newspapers, and after Geng Zhongming took it, he tore off the sealing wax on it, opened the military newspaper and read it hurriedly.
"Lord Wang, Tongguan is lost, and the news in Guanzhong is cut off, what should we do?" Chen Shaozong asked.
Geng Zhongming held the table with one hand, the muscles of his cheeks agitated, and suddenly turned around to pick up the helmet, Chen Shaozong hurriedly took off the armor from the shelf, and listened to Geng Zhongming as he walked out, and ordered: "Send a fast horse, eight hundred miles to report to Beijing, inform the regent, and inform the news of Guanzhong." In addition, the king of Zhishun and the king of Duoduo County also sent a fast horse to report, saying that we had won the plan, and Gao Yihuan entered the customs. ”
"Wow!" Chen Shaozong responded as he walked.
Geng Zhongming walked out, several guards took over the armor and put it on him, and he continued to give an urgent order, "Order another 10,000 soldiers and horses, this king will go to Shaanzhou overnight!" ”
