Liangxia Bay, located at the confluence of the Nanjiang River and the Bajiang River, is also the only way for the army of Bashan and Wu Sangui to go north.

On the bank of the river, Cao Bianjiao looked at the morning glow of tomorrow that had gradually risen in the sky, it was so gorgeous, red dazzling, like blood, reverie, beside Cao Bianjiao, a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian student stood there, this person's name was Li Yousong, he was a scholar of Luanzhou in the Ming Dynasty, when Wu Sangui in order to delay Li Zicheng's march speed, he also sent this person to deceive the surrender, and later he returned to Wu Sangui's side, did some knife and pen things for him, witnessed the various bad deeds of the Qing army after entering the Central Plains, he was also heartbroken, This time Wu Sangui actually burned the ancient city, which made Li Yousong even more angry, so after returning to Bazhou, he quietly escaped and reported Wu Sangui's strategy to Cao Bianjiao, for such a small official, Wu Sangui naturally would not pay attention, but for Cao Bianjiao, Li Yousong's arrival allowed him to master Wu Sangui's next plan, which was a great hero.

"General, the enemy army is already less than fifteen miles away, and their scouts are no more than five miles away from us!" The scout also came to Cao Bianjiao's side to report.

Cao Bianjiao nodded, and the scout continued to investigate, Cao Bianjiao turned around, looked at Li Yousong and said, "If it is a big victory this time, I will ask for credit for you." ”

"Thank you General, I dare not be ashamed!" Li Yousong also hurriedly thanked him at the moment, returned to the Ming Dynasty, he was also very willing, read more than 30 years of sage books, he also hoped to continue to uphold the way of sages, no longer need to be a tiger.

Wu Sangui's men and horses continued to advance, they only guarded the back, and did not pay too much attention to the front, but only sent a team of scouts to explore the way in front, and they never thought that Cao Bianjiao would come here earlier than him to wait for his driver.

When they reached the two bays, they entered a gentle slope, on both sides is not high dense forest, not far in front, is the Bajiang ferry, after crossing the river, not far from the Nanjiang boundary, now Jin Yuhe did not catch up, they are all tacit, only afraid that Jin Yuhe is more auspicious, after all, Cao Bianjiao has nearly 50,000 horses, and Jin Yuhe is only 3,000 people, the whole army is annihilated, it is not impossible, Jin Yuhe is no longer what they care about, they care about when they can return to Hanzhong.

"Give me more strength, after the ferry in front, everyone can bury the pot and cook at that time, and have a good rest!" Wu Sangui was also shouting on the horse, telling the soldiers to speed up the march and cross the river as soon as possible, and they would be safe after crossing the river.

"Whoosh ......" just when everyone quickened their pace, suddenly from the dense forest on both sides of the sound of breaking the sky, and when they turned their heads to look over, they saw the boundless bamboo arrows attacking on the road that spread for miles, the Qing army that was marching became a live target, and many people were pierced by the hard and sharp bamboo.

Not everyone in the Qing army is wearing iron armor, that is the treatment that the Eight Banners only have, the green battalion soldiers are only one leather armor, that is still the old-fashioned equipment of the Ming army, not even cotton armor, a good cotton armor, it requires a very cumbersome process, cotton wet, repeatedly patted, made into a very thin cotton sheet, a number of such cotton sheets in the embellishment into a very thick and solid cotton cloth, between the two layers of cotton cloth is iron armor, fixed with copper nails inside and outside, when the Ming army was the richest, only elite soldiers and horses have such treatment, the cost is too high, However, leather armor is simple and easy to make, most people use leather armor, and then focus on iron pieces with important parts, which is simple iron armor.

"Papapa......" came with the bamboo arrows, that is, the attack of muskets, the sound of flintlock muskets came and went, resounded from the mountains and forests on both sides, and shot into the dazed Qing army, as soon as the battle began, there were thousands of people killed or wounded, losing their combat effectiveness.

"There is an ambush, be careful......" Wu Sangui also turned over and dismounted, the target on the horse was too big, the path was narrow, their team dragged on very long, he couldn't block the guns for him with the soldiers on both sides, he could only reduce the probability of being shot as much as possible.

With the sound of gunfire, another wave of bamboo arrows shot out from the forests on both sides, heading towards the Qing army who were looking for cover in the panic, and many people were killed and wounded on the ground, wailing, some people were pierced through the body and lost their lives, perhaps a relief, and some people were pierced through the body but still had half a life, and could only wail in pain, that is life is better than death.

"The general of the Ming Dynasty, Cao Bianjiao, has been waiting here for a long time, Wu Sangui, Lao Tzu is waiting for you, you traitor, the generation of the number of classics and forgetfulness, killed your father Wu Xiang in the front, killed the people in the back, and helped the people to abuse, what is a person, my first emperor Sizong is not thin to you, but you rebelled against the Ming and Qing Dynasty, today this general will be on behalf of those who died in your hands of my Ming army and people, come to you to settle this account."

"It's Cao Bianjiao......" Wu Sangui was also shocked, he didn't expect Cao Bianjiao to suddenly appear here, and he prepared an ambush for them, so that they paid a painful price before they saw Cao Bianjiao's figure.

"Cao Bianjiao, those who know the times are Junjie, good birds choose trees to perch, I return to the Qing Dynasty, but I conform to the general trend, the Ming Dynasty is corrupt, you are also a person who has been in the officialdom for a long time, can't you see through all this?"

"Traitor, death is on the verge of death, and you dare to speak tricks and nonsense, the Ming Dynasty is because there are more shameless people like you, and it will be reduced to letting the Manchu Tartars enter the pass, no matter what you say today, you are dying!"

Wu Sangui also rushed to Zu Zerun's side and said: "They don't have artillery, we give up these burdens and lead the team to rush out, at this time in late autumn, the water level of the river is not deep, we can ride horses and wade through, as long as we cross the Bajiang River, Cao Bianjiao can't help us." ”

"Okay, let's rush out, I don't want to be shot here by these bamboos!" Zu Zerun also agreed with Wu Sangui's proposal, and at that moment the two of them got on the horse and shouted: "Give up the baggage, travel lightly, and rush over!" ”

Under the leadership of Wu Sangui and Zu Zerun, the Guan Ning army who walked in the forefront discarded the baggage in their hands, just took the soldiers and horses, and rushed forward one by one, and when they rushed through this ditch, Cao Bianjiao had already led the army to wait there, the sword and shield hand was in front, the pikeman was behind, and the musketeer was in the center, waiting for the battle, Cao Bianjiao was standing there so conspicuously, Wu Sangui just didn't want to see it, but he had already seen it.

"Kill the traitor......" Cao Bianjiao didn't say half a word more, and directly ordered the attack, and the musketeers also began to shoot, towards the war horse under their crotch, which was ordered by Cao Bianjiao, the Guanning army was dressed in iron armor, which was not easy to deal with, but their horses were not covered in armor, without the war horse, then the combat effectiveness of the Guanning army would be greatly weakened.

"Those who advance live, those who retreat die, brothers, kill ...... with me" Wu Sangui wielded the war knife in his hand, and rushed directly to kill the past, at this moment, he didn't dare to delay for half a minute, he could only fight hard, the place in front of him happened to be an open place, suitable for cavalry combat, he wanted to break Cao Bianjiao's camp in one breath, opening a gap for the army.

"Kill ......" under the leadership of Wu Sangui, the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in the past, Guan Ningjun, also rushed over, they no longer have half of the loyalty, they originally valued interests, Guanning Army's consumption every year, but two or three times that of ordinary troops, these years they have fought no less, and money has not been less, in their opinion, whoever gives money will fight for whom, as for the country name is Ming or Qing, it doesn't matter.
