Chapter 530 Cottage
After the banquet, everyone dispersed, and Xia Guoxiang was sent back by Wang Yan to tell Wu Sangui and tell Wang Yan about the conditions offered by Wang Yan.
The cottage outside the north city, there are 5,000 Wu soldiers, who can guard the horns with Wanxian County, and a large part of the reason why Wang Yan's camp is so strong is to guard against the Wu soldiers outside the north city.
If Wu Sangui was willing to withdraw his men and horses from the city and demolish the city defense of Wanxian by himself, he would be willing to give him another three days, because with the terrain of Wanxian County and the danger of the cottage in the north, the Ming army might not be able to defeat it after three days.
On the third watch day of the night, in the tent of the Ming army marshal, the candle flame was still lit, and Wang Yan's figure was printed on the white tent.
Dai Zhifan came to the outside of the tent and saw the shadow on the tent, so he strode to the front of the tent, and the guards reported and raised the tent curtain for him.
"Xianggong, still not resting?"
Hearing this, Wang Yan raised his head, put down the brush, and asked, "Have the Wu soldiers in the cottage withdrawn?" ”
Dai Zhifan shook his head, "I was about to report to the prime minister, and there are still people patrolling the torch, and there is no sign of evacuation." Then Wu Sangui is iron-hearted, and he wants to be a lackey of the Manchu Dynasty. ”
Wang Yan was slightly silent, Wu Sangui first surrendered to Shun, and then to Qing, his personality is repeated, and he will definitely not be loyal to any party, he is unwilling to do it now, he just feels that it is not in the interests of the Guan Ning Army behind him, or he is not optimistic about the Ming Dynasty who retreated to Guangnan.
Wang Yan sighed for a while, as a person in a high position, he no longer treats things by personal likes and dislikes like before, but more analyzes the interests of things, "Since Wu Sangui does not withdraw, then the pavilion will take out the five thousand people outside his city, and knock out his two-faced and three-faced thoughts!" ”
When Dai Zhifan heard this, he raised his eyebrows, glared at the one-eyed and said, "Xianggong still wants to recruit him?" Like Wu Sangui, who has no loyalty and helps to abuse, he should be killed and fed to the dog. ”
Wang Yan smiled slightly, "What does Mingzhang want to do with Wu Sangui, this pavilion has no opinion, what this pavilion cares about is 30,000 Guan Ning." We have to practice by ourselves, not to mention that we don't have horses, even if we have horses, we have to practice for three or four years, and the cost is not calculated, and we may not be able to beat the Qing soldiers. Politics is like this, even if Guan Ning did a lot of evil and slaughtered the people before, as long as they resist the Qing Dynasty, the cabinet and the court will still accept it. ”
After finishing speaking, Wang Yan waved his hand, "It's not too early, Mingzhang will go back to the camp early to rest, and let the Western Army take the lead tomorrow, and the loyal and brave army will be the second!" ”
Hearing this, Dai Zhifan nodded, and left.
At dawn the next day, smoke rose in the Ming army camp, and the soldiers of the brigade gathered in front of the marching stove, holding dishes and chopsticks to line up to eat.
A man from the Western Army looked at the pot, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he scolded with a smile, "There is actually meat to eat?" ”
An old soldier behind him saw it, but he was not so happy, "After eating, you have to fight, you can eat." ”
The man in front of him was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile after half a sound: "If you do a war, you will do a war, and the prince will be kind, when we were cannon fodder in the past, my mother was driven to drink a bowl of porridge." ”
As he spoke, it was already the turn of the man, and the firehead army shoveled a large spoonful, and when he saw it, he immediately smiled, but the firehead army seemed to be unable to hold the shovel steadily, and when it came to his bowl, his hands shook twice, and half of the food was missing.
"Brother, brother, on the hour." The man was disappointed.
Huotoujun didn't pay attention to it at all, he stretched out the bowl and waited for a long time, feeling bored, scolding in his mouth, walked to the side and squatted, picked up a piece of fat meat with chopsticks, closed his eyes and put it under his nose and sniffed it, and put it in his mouth with a look of enjoyment.
The Ming army didn't have any meat, and even if they had money, there was nowhere to buy it, but with Qin Liangyu, the leader of the Tusi in eastern Sichuan, as long as Wang Yan gave money, he could exchange for many mountain birds and beasts in Miao Village.
Although the portion is not enough for more than 100,000 people to eat a bite, it is still enough to feed 10,000 people.
When the Western Sergeants were immersed in eating, Sun Kewang and others wore battle armor and walked over with their swords.
Originally, when they were on the south bank, they were worried about being annexed by Gao Yigong, but there were iron rules in the Wuzhong Army that generals were not allowed to recruit and recruit people without permission, so the Western Army has always maintained its independence.
Sun Kewang originally thought that he had escaped the catastrophe, but after being coerced across the river, they were summoned by Wang Yan, and the Western Army finally could not escape the fate of being annexed.
Wang Yan's condition was that the Western Army would be broken up and incorporated into the Five Loyal Army, and Sun Kewang would all four of them be made earls. In Wang Yan's view, less than 10,000 people, four counts, this is still for the sake of the Western Army's resistance to the Qing army and the drag of the main force of the Qing army for the Ming Dynasty.
But in Sun Kewang's view, as soon as they descended from the prince to the earl, it was difficult to accept, and the dispersal and reorganization of the soldiers and horses was equivalent to taking away their military power, and Daxi really became history.
Sun Kewang hesitated about this, so Wang Yan asked him to think about it again, but he didn't expect that before the result of the consideration came out, Wang Yan ordered them to serve as the main attack today, which was obviously the intention of attrition.
Ten thousand Western troops were coerced by nearly 100,000 Ming troops, and the Western Army was either consumed or reorganized, and Sun Kewang and others did not look good.
At this time, the drums in the camp sounded, and Li Dingguo looked at the soldiers around him and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, we are just this person, and Daxi is really finished." Even if the elder brother is unwilling, there is no way, and I think Wang Xianggong is a trustworthy person, and the old generals of the Shun army have been reused under him, and our four brothers are not worse than them. ”
"That's all I have to say, you guys think about it." After Li Dingguo finished speaking, he immediately turned around and walked to the center of the soldiers, and shouted loudly: "After eating, quickly stand up, take your weapons, and go to the camp to line up." ”
Seeing this, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi set their eyes on Sun Kewang, Sun Kewang sighed, "Let's finish today's battle first, and then discuss it in the evening." ”
At that moment, the three of them also began to urge the soldiers to go out of the camp and line up, and the camp was suddenly crowded, and groups of people and horses walked out of the camp with swords, guns, bows and arrows.
At the head of the city, Wu Sangui and others came to the north city early and watched the movements of the Ming army outside the city. On the cottage four miles away from the city, the Qing archers had already stepped on the wall, and the artillery was loaded with ammunition.
The road into Shu is not easy to walk, so the Qing army did not carry much heavy artillery, the road in Kuizhou is even more rugged, and the Wu army naturally did not bring any red-coated cannons, just some four-pound Fran machine guns, but Liaozhen as the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, the quality of artillery guns is still much better than other Ming troops.
If Wu Sangui brought heavy artillery this time, he could set it up on the city and cooperate with the cottage to form a crossfire, but now he can only watch.
It was Li Guoying's 2,000 men and horses guarding the cottage, plus 3,000 Liaozhen infantry, Wu Sangui still had great confidence in them.
The cottage is built on the mountain, the artillery range is greatly improved because of the terrain, the Ming army can basically not fight, but the artillery on the top of the mountain can cover the Ming army, and the Ming army attacks on the back, no equipment can be used, only ants are attached to the mountain, and the casualties must be huge.
The Qing soldiers prepared enough food for three months and fresh water for a month, and Wu Sangui thought that the Ming army would attack the cottage alone, so he decisively refused to evacuate the cottage in exchange for three days.
