Chapter 419 Chicken Head Pass
Nanzheng City was in ruins, and the Qing army said that they would leave, and soon abandoned Nanzheng and gathered near Baocheng.
When Zhang Dingguo heard that there were tens of thousands of Qing soldiers outside Jitou Pass, he couldn't help but be surprised, and his subordinates on the side were worried: "Your Highness, the Qing soldiers have arrived at Jitou Pass, so the army might as well stop for the time being, and wait until the situation of the Qing army is found out, and then march forward." ”
Zhang Dingguo frowned slightly, "Our army is attacking from afar, you are taking it by surprise, it is only more than ten miles away from the enemy today, if you stop here, you will be detected by the Qing army, so as to be prepared." According to the general order of the king, the army advanced at a rapid pace and captured the Jitou Pass in one fell swoop. ”
Hearing this, the general of the "Nuo~" department clenched his fists on the horse, and then pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and went to the back to urge the soldiers and horses to move quickly.
At this time, Zhang Dingguo ordered the scouts again, "You two speed up and go to investigate again and find out the defense of Jitou Pass." ”
"No~"
The scout saluted, then quickly got up, turned over and stepped on the warhorse, and then sped away, his movements clean and neat, looking extremely elite.
The Western Army continued to advance towards Jitou Pass, and walked another seven or eight miles, and the scouts rushed back again, "Your Highness, your subordinates climbed the high mountains near Jitou Pass, and found that the Qing army had only a few hundred troops on the Pass, and the main force of nearly 10,000 people was all building a big village on the plain outside the pass. ”
Jitou Pass is said to be a pass, in fact, it is a low small earthen wall, which was originally used to set up a card to collect taxes, but because it is difficult to walk on the slope road and Lianyun Road, Hanzhong and Guanzhong come and go, and take Chencang Road and Changluo Road more, so Jitou Pass is increasingly deserted.
Zhang Dingguo listened to the words of the scout, and heard that there were only hundreds of Qing soldiers stationed at Jitou Pass, and he was overjoyed, it seems that the Qing soldiers did not expect that he would copy the path from Wudu Mountain into the Baochuan Road, and then kill him to the south.
After all, the Qing army still didn't know much about the terrain of Hanzhong, although there were drawings, but compared with Zhang Dingguo, these Shaanxi people, it was still a little worse.
Perhaps Haoge didn't realize that Wudu Mountain could not only control Chencang Road and Qishan Road, but also cut off the Bao Slope Road and Lianyun Road, and he safely transported grain from the Bao Slope Road several times, and all of them passed safely, so he thought that the Bao Slope Road was safe and did not pay attention to it.
In fact, Wudu Mountain did not attack the Bao Slope, just to let Hao Ge further consume the strength of Guanzhong, so as to leave him such a passage, otherwise Hao Ge found that the Bao Slope was also in danger of being cut off, and he would definitely not stay in Guanzhong, and would inevitably divide his troops to surround Yangxian, and then retreat from the meridian road in the north of Yangxian County.
Zhang Dingguo pondered slightly on the horse, and suddenly felt a little puzzled in his heart, since the Qing soldiers were going to withdraw from Hanzhong, why did they stop at building a village outside Jitou Pass?
He was puzzled for a while, so he simply didn't think about it first, and instructed the general next to him: "Wrap the horse's hooves in cotton cloth, and take off the chicken head with this king." ”
In addition to the Qing soldiers who transported grain and grass from Guanzhong, no one walked on the Bao Slope Road, and even the Qing soldiers who transported materials had not appeared for more than half a month, so the Qing soldiers on the Jitou Pass had already slackened.
When the time came to noon, the Qing soldiers on the gate sat together in twos and threes, leaning against the wall and basking in the sun, the winter sun made people feel warm and made people drowsy, and the Qing soldiers guarding the gate at the gate also looked listless because the Qing army was reducing rations day by day.
Because Haoge didn't expect the Western Army to kill from the Bao Slope Road, the Qing soldiers guarding the pass were not elite, not only were they not as good as the Eight Banners, but in the green camp, they were all crane tails.
At this time, an old soldier who was napping against the wall at the door suddenly opened his eyes, looked up at the passage leading to the closed door, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he hurriedly woke up the Qing soldiers around him, and shouted in horror, "Enemy attack~"
When Zhang Dingguo heard the sound, he didn't say a word, suddenly accelerated the speed of the horse, like a cheetah pounced up, and instantly rushed to the gate, and the horse lance in his hand was aimed at a Qing officer, and the lance pierced his chest, and the war horse did not stop, rushing directly from the gate that was about to be closed.
At this time, he threw away the horse lance wearing the corpse, pulled out the war knife with his backhand, and slashed at the Qing soldiers who wanted to close the door, and the defenders let out a long scream before they died, and finally shocked all the Qing soldiers on the entire wall to move.
A Qing soldier hurriedly came out of the gate building, and immediately shouted, "There is a situation!" Enemy attack~"\u000b Zhang Dingguo took control of the gate, and suddenly pointed his long knife at the gate, and shouted: "Kill!" ”
Five hundred cavalry of the Western Army, can shoot on the horse, can fight on the horse, is Zhang Dingguo's elite guard, compared to Zhang Xianzhong's guard is not bad at all, they are selected from tens of thousands of Western troops, all brave and good at fighting, they cooperate tacitly, go to the city, and divide the troops into two ways, to kill the Qing soldiers in the pass.
At this time, the alarm bell in the city was loud, 'Dang! While! While! The sound echoed over the's head.
Outside the city, countless Qing soldiers who were camping couldn't help but look in the direction of Jitou Pass, in a Qing army camp tent, Qing general Li Guoying heard the sound, couldn't help but pick up the tent curtain and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"General Huiyu, it seems that Jitouguan was raided."
The Qing army retreated from Nanzheng to Baocheng, and the Qing soldiers who attacked Yangxian County would also retreat to Baocheng in these two days, and Li Guoying was ordered to build a fortress outside Jitou Pass to prepare for the arrival of the main force of the Qing army.
When he heard the report from his subordinates, he couldn't help but be furious, "Go quickly, order all the troops and horses for the general, and recapture the city pass." ”
After all, the Qing army did not pay much attention to Jitou Pass, there were only more than 300 people in the city, even if they fought hard, they could not match Zhang Dingguo's 500 personal soldiers, and the only hope was that reinforcements from the military camp would arrive. \u000b However, the Qing army camp is three miles away from the city, and it will take a certain amount of time for the Qing generals to dispatch men and horses.
The soldiers shouted to kill, and in less than a pillar of incense, all the Qing soldiers were annihilated by the Western army.
At this moment, Li Guoying also ordered 7,000 men and horses and set up a position under the pass, but most of the foot soldiers of the Western Army were still on the mountain road.
"What's next for Your Highness?" General Jiao Guangqi hurriedly asked.
Zhang Dingguo looked at the 7,000 green battalions in the battle under the pass, and then looked at it, there were tens of thousands of Qing soldiers and horses in the Qing army camp in the distance, and his 20,000 horses, except for more than 3,000 people who arrived at the pass, were still on the mountain road, Zhang Dingguo immediately said: "Our army is outnumbered, the enemy soldiers are numerous, as long as we rest, the morale will be gone, we must be vigorous, now no one should rest, rush up to hit him by surprise!" ”
Suddenly, although Li Guoying hurriedly pulled out 7,000 soldiers and horses, but the preparation was not sufficient, the Qing army came to the Guancheng in a mess, and before it could gain a firm foothold, the Western Army that had just captured the Guancheng rushed out, and immediately rushed Li Guoying's troops.
