240 is the best policy
"General Qin, look, this fire ......" Jiang Zhu was the first to discover the fire in Langzhong City, and immediately summoned Qin Liangyu.
"These beasts killed by heaven, this ancient city of Langzhong, but it has been a thousand years, these beasts can bear to burn it down, they want to escape, quickly, send someone to fight the fire!" Qin Liangyu is also itching with hatred at the moment, and he can't wait to eat the flesh of Wu Sangui and others to relieve his hatred.
"The last general immediately led his army to put out the fire!" Jiang Zhu didn't dare to delay, Cao Bianjiao didn't know where he was at this moment, so they couldn't rashly pursue Wu Sangui's men and horses alone, so they could only go to fight the fire first.
In the afternoon of the next day, when Cao Bianjiao led the army to Langzhong, he saw the ruins of half of the city, two-fifths of the ancient city of Langzhong was burned, more than 300 people were burned to death, thousands of people were burned, the loss was incalculable, and even the Temple of the Marquis of Han Huan was affected.
"Wu Sangui, you traitor, if I don't kill you, I, Cao Bianjiao, swear not to be a person!" When Cao Bianjiao saw this scene, he also pulled out his knife and cut off a small tree next to him to vent his anger.
"General, what should I do now, Wu Sangui has withdrawn last night, I'm afraid that he has walked dozens of miles away at this moment, are we still chasing?" Qin Liangyu also came to Cao Bianjiao's side and asked him for instructions.
"Chasing ...... Even if he goes up to heaven and earth, I will chase him down and kill this thief to relieve the hatred in my heart! Cao Bianjiao gritted his teeth and said, it was difficult to calm the evil breath in his heart, Wu Sangui had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty before, and he may have been forced to be helpless, but now, he has become one of the most loyal lackeys of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Cao Bianjiao's hatred for him far exceeds that of Haoge and these people.
"The whole army immediately assembled, left a thousand people, stayed in Langzhong, dealt with the aftermath, and the rest of the men and horses, immediately pursued, and must catch up with this thief."
"Yes...... Although everyone has worked hard all night to put out the fire, no one feels tired, facing this homeland, seeing this situation, their hatred ignites their passion, so that their tiredness is swept away, and now they want to kill the thief to take revenge.
Although Cao Bianjiao's department is insufficient, but the speed is very fast, in the land of Sichuan, the speed of the cavalry is not necessarily stronger than the foot soldiers, there are ravines and valleys everywhere, and the Sichuan foot soldiers who are accustomed to walking in the mountains and forests are more adaptable than the cavalry under Wu Sangui, and when they chase to Bazhou City, Wu Sangui is Kankan enters the city with the front foot, and Cao Bianjiao arrives on the back foot, less than two hours apart, Wu Sangui is also very fortunate that he was not attacked by Cao Bianjiao on the way, this land is really not suitable for his soldiers and horses to exert their combat power, To be heavily discounted.
"General Bashan, I didn't expect this Cao Bianjiao to come so quickly, we just entered the city, and the butt was not yet hot, so he followed, I see that his army is full of banners, this army is not simple, no less than 50,000 people, at the moment our two armies combined, only half of them, whether to fight or defend, and you need to take an idea from the master!"
Wu Sangui and they abandoned Langzhong, there was no military order, but it was just a move to adapt to the situation, and now they are in Bashan's territory, how to do it, they are not good to speak out, they can only obey Bashan's will to act, Bashan is a Manchurian who is a serious manchurian, or a man with a yellow flag, Guerjia clan, one of the eight nobles of Manchuria, in this identity, they are not good at taking the lead.
"You came just right, just as soon as possible, I just got a military order from Prince Su to retreat to Hanzhong and give up Langzhong and Bashan, and I am ready to send someone to inform you, but I didn't expect you to get the news."
"Which is the news that we got the news, it was Cao Bianjiao who led the army to come, we were afraid that the road back would be cut off, so we retreated uninvited, I didn't expect Prince Su to have considered it, we fortunately retreated in time, a little later half a day, we will be besieged by the Ming army in the mountains and valleys of Sichuan, and the situation will be dangerous." Jin Yuhe also smiled helplessly and felt very embarrassed.
"Prince Su gave me a military order to let me retreat to the fortress of Micang Road, the main road of Daba Mountain, and hold the south gate of Hanzhong, now Cao Bianjiao has arrived, but after our two armies converge, there is still no need to worry about Cao Bianjiao will fight to the death with us, although the Sichuan is steep, the terrain is not conducive to the gallop of war horses, but our soldiers and horses are elite, even if there are no horses, the foot battle will not be much inferior, I think we will lead the army north to Hanzhong tonight, it is better to return sooner rather than later, so as not to be cut off by the Ming army to retreat, my Bazhou grain and grass are insufficient, and it cannot be held for a long time." Bashan didn't ask too much about their retreat, it was Hauge's power, not his, and he didn't want to interfere too much, he was a good person, he didn't want to offend Dorgon, he didn't want to offend Hauge, he just wanted to do his part.
"Then let's listen to General Bashan's wishes!" Wu Sangui also nodded, agreeing with Bashan's meaning.
"That's good! General Jin, after you lead 3,000 men and horses, cover the withdrawal of the army! Bashan also named Jin Yu and Broken Queen, among these people, only Jin Yu and he understood and believed in his ability.
"Yes, then I'll arrange it first!" Jin Yuhe did not refuse this proposal and went to prepare.
Although Cao Bianjiao rushed to Bazhou, he did not have a sharp weapon to attack the city - artillery, they pushed it too fast, the artillery was still in Langzhong, and it would take at least three days to transport it here, and they could not attack the city in these three days, so they could only monitor the Qing army in the city and strictly prevent them from escaping.
At midnight, the north gate of Bazhou slowly opened, and then Wu Sangui was in front, leading the people and horses out of the city first, followed by Bashan, escorting the materials taken away from him, and Jin Yuhe came out from the west gate, attracting Cao Bianjiao's attention and fighting for them two hours.
In order to be hidden, this time Bashan was very civilized, did not destroy a single grass and tree, and left a complete Bazhou city to the Ming army, in order not to provoke the attention of the Ming army, and when the time comes, expose them, Jin Yu and break through, just a feint, confusing Cao Bianjiao, this is just a simple temptation.
"Kill ......" Jin Yuhe took the lead in killing Bazhou City, all he brought were war horses, in order to enhance mobility, although the entire Sichuan ravines are vertical and horizontal, but the land in front of him is indeed suitable for galloping hilly areas, he is not worried about being entangled here.
When Jin Yuhe led the army into the camp of the Ming army, he was shocked by the current scene, there was no one, it was an empty camp, although the campfire in the camp was bright, but there was indeed no one, the silence of death, originally planned to kill for a while, and unexpectedly give the Ming army a dismount, but he didn't expect that waiting for him would be such a result.
"It's not good, it's a trick......" Jin Yuhe also reacted first, the other party regarded it as an empty camp, which means that the other party had been prepared, and now that he is in the camp, it will be dangerous, and Jin Yuhe is also shouting to withdraw the army at the moment.
"Whoosh... A series of gunshots rang out, and the 5,000 soldiers and horses who were ambushed inside and outside the camp all rushed out with muskets in hand, unceremoniously firing and shooting those Qing soldiers who were in a hurry.
"Withdraw......" Jin Yuhe also shouted loudly, commanding the soldiers and horses to rush out immediately, otherwise they would be buried here with the whole army, a moment of hesitation is fatal, they are surrounded here, so what about Wu Sangui and Bashan, is it the same, Jin Yuhe dare not imagine.
