Chapter 670: The Battle of the Covenant
Zhou Jian sent the news of Wu Sangui's appointment to fight back to Haicheng.
When Fang Yuan received the news, he immediately guessed Wu Sangui's little abacus. If Wu Sangui really wanted to fight against the Xuanjia Army, why should he limit the size of a thousand people? It's nothing more than testing the strength of the Xuanjia Army.
This battle must not only be fought, but also completely subdued Wu Sangui!
Fang Yuan laughed and threw Wu Sangui's battle book on the military case, and said to Zhou Jian, "Uncle, I have to bother you to take a break, and go to Shanhaiguan tomorrow to tell Wu Sangui that I will fight the day after tomorrow." β
Zhou Jian finally escaped from the tiger's mouth, and Fang Yuan had to send him to death, this, where is the slightest relationship between uncle and nephew, and said with a bitter face, "Regent, the princess I watched grow up since I was a child, for the princess's sake, you can spare me!" β
Fang Yuan looked at him in surprise and said, "Uncle, it was for the princess's sake that I gave you a great credit, and you want to refuse?!" β
Zhou Jian was stunned and asked, "Regent, merit?" What credit?! β
Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Persuade Wu Sangui to surrender, Guan Ningjun's great merit!" Uncle, I wanted to reuse you, but I was afraid that others would chew on the root of my tongue behind my back. The Jiangnan regime and the Xuanjia Army are rewarded for meritorious deeds, and if you make this great achievement, others will have to obey it if they are not satisfied! β
Wu Sangui's Guanning Army is a group of arrogant soldiers, where does Zhou Jian dare to persuade Wu Sangui to surrender? Frightened, he shook his hand again and again, "Regent, spare me, spare me!" Fan Yongdou, the envoy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was also in Shanhaiguan, and Wu Sangui was secretly eye-to-eye with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. If I go again, I may be killed by Wu Sangui. β
"Fan Yongdou, the old traitor, is also there? Nine years ago, the Fan family was punished by the clan, and only this old traitor escaped. Now it's really effortless! β
Fang Yuan was secretly overjoyed when he heard this, and said lightly, "Fan Yongdou is the best here, when Wu Sangui surrenders, the uncle wants to catch this big traitor, and he must not be allowed to escape." β
Seeing that Zhou Jian was still afraid of the enemy like a tiger, he said, "Uncle, Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang is still in the capital, how dare Wu Sangui do anything to you?" If he really detains you, we will exchange Wu Xiang for your uncle immediately. β
Zhou Jian thought about it, it was also the same reason, with Wu Xiang as a hostage in the capital, Wu Sangui would not even care about his father if he made another mistake, so he had to kill himself to sacrifice the flag! Zhou Jian calculated, this trip to Shanhaiguan was really a loss-making business. It is a great merit to be able to persuade Wu Sangui to surrender, even if he can't persuade him to surrender, he can retreat with his whole body.
Zhou Jian hurriedly responded, and the next morning, he hurried to Shanhaiguan to reply to the letter.
Wu Sangui spread out Fang Yuan's reply and looked at it, Fang Yuan first listed in the reply letter Wu Sangui's great achievements in resisting the Manchu Qing in Ningyuan alone over the years, which is enough to leave a name in history, and it will be recited through the ages.
Then Fang Yuan laughed at Wu Sangui's desire to use a thousand Guanning troops to fight against a thousand Xuanjia troops, and threatened that with the combat power of the Xuanjia army, just one or two hundred people would be enough to defeat a thousand Guanning troops, why do you need a thousand people?!
At the end of the reply, Fang Yuan proposed a gamble, if the Xuanjia army could defeat the most elite Guanning Iron Cavalry with 200 men, Wu Sangui would surrender immediately. If the Xuanjia army could not win, he immediately led the army to leave the old dragon head Haicheng.
Wu Sangui saw Fang Yuan's reply, except for the first paragraph listing Wu Sangui's exploits as official words and clichΓ©s, the rest of the content was arrogant and arrogant, and no one was in his eyes.
Five hundred Manchu Eight Banner Iron Cavalry, it is impossible to defeat the one thousand most elite Guanning Iron Cavalry, why can Fang Yuan win with two hundred people, and the Xuanjia Army has three heads and six arms?!
In this gambling game, Wu Sangui wants to gamble and gamble, and if he doesn't want to gamble, he must gamble. In other words, if the Xuanjia Army really had the combat strength of 200 people to defeat 1,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry, how could Shanhaiguan resist Fang Yuan's aggressive offensive, and the Manchu Eight Banners would only be defeated.
Wu Sangui had no choice but to surrender earlier.
Now that Fang Yuan has released big words, Wu Sangui will be beaten hard whether he surrenders or not. Otherwise, even if Fang Yuan surrendered, the Guan Ning army would not be able to raise its head.
Wu Sangui attached great importance to this battle, and personally selected the most elite 1,000 iron cavalry among the 20,000 Guanning iron cavalry, selected the best horses, and equipped them with the best sabers, armor, firearms, bows and arrows, and prepared for a big battle with Fang Yuan's real sword and real gun.
Two days later, the 1,000 elite Guan Ning Iron Cavalry selected by Wu Sangui rode to a stone, and there were 5,000 Iron Cavalry in the rear to suppress the formation to prevent the Xuanjia Army from sneaking attack.
The hour had come, and the black flag of the Xuanjia Army had finally appeared in the distance.
Wu Sangui raised his eyes and looked, the Xuanjia Army also sent five thousand iron cavalry, coming in a mighty way, and in the cavalry array, you can still faintly see some strange, mobile carts.
These carts were much taller than ordinary carriages, with at least two floors, but the purpose was not clearly visible. In Wu Sangui's view, it may be similar to a siege vehicle or something. As for why he acted, he couldn't really see it, it was estimated that there were people pushing and pulling!
With Wu Sangui's battle-hardened vision, he really couldn't see what power this kind of cart could have on the battlefield.
After the two sides finished arranging, Wu Sangui ordered a thousand cavalry to cross the crowd and line up in a three-column shock formation. He also sent a sergeant to negotiate, and ordered Fang Yuan to send two hundred sergeants to fight.
In Fang Yuan's military array, the five thousand Xuanjia Iron Cavalry did not move at all, obviously not participating in the battle, but pressing the formation. Fifteen strange chariots slowly drove from the cavalry formation to the front of the formation, lined up in a row.
Fang Yuan ordered the sergeant to reply to Wu Sangui, fifteen chariots, twelve people on each chariot, a total of one hundred and eighty people, these are the two hundred sergeants sent by the Xuanjia Army to make an appointment.
The generals of the Guanning Army, including Wu Sangui, saw clearly that there were a total of three artillery ports on the upper and lower floors of this tank, with one medium artillery on the upper and lower floors and two small artillery on the lower floor.
What surprised Guan Ningjun even more was that the chariot did not have horsepower or manpower at all, but moved on flat ground on its own, and the speed was not slow. The wheels of the chariot were also not the usual round wheels, but the never-before-seen tracked type.
What kind of monster is this?!
Zhou Jian, who was in the formation of Wu Sangui's army, was frightened when he saw it, this kind of chariot battle, as early as the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, had already been sentenced to death, can he defeat the Guanning Iron Cavalry?
It seems that this time he was fooled home by Fang Yuan again, and he came to be this cannon fodder!
The general on Wu Sangui's side, Tang Tong, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, was also dumbfounded when he saw this strange scene, and asked in amazement, "Wu Dudu, this, this, the chariot, will it move without a horse?" Is it witchcraft?! β
Wu Sangui can't understand the reality of the chariot, but he is also a general on the battlefield, and he knows that on the battlefield, mobility is king, and this kind of chariot with inconvenient mobility and may even be difficult to turn around is just a live target for Xuanning Iron Cavalry.
"Fang Yuan! Fang Yuan, the battlefield battle relies on real swords and real guns, how can a mere obscene and ingenious skill be able to ascend to the hall of elegance? ! I really overestimate you! Hahaha! β
Wu Sangui laughed at Fang Yuan's ignorance, it seems that the previous achievements are just that there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is the overlord!
Wu Sangui slowly pulled out his war knife, galloped back and forth in front of the army of 1,000 people with the reins of his horse, and shouted loudly in his mouth, waking up the Guanning Iron Cavalry who were shocked by the Xuanjia Army's chariot, "Brothers, this is just the Xuanjia Army playing tricks and confusing our army!" β
"Brothers, line up, go to battle, and smash these broken chariots to pieces!"
Under his personal encouragement, the 1,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry once again regained their military spirit and morale, raised their swords in unison, and shouted, "Fight! War! War! β
The chariots in the Xuanjia Army's military array slowly started, and Wu Sangui personally went into battle to command a thousand Guanning iron cavalry to kill these chariots!
