Chapter 252: Two Emperors Stand Side by Side

And this afternoon, Yang Lin had already rushed to Mingyue Gorge, and was quite surprised after hearing Liao Qifang's complaints.

For today's way, we should control Mingyue Gorge, but there are Tartars everywhere in front, how to control Mingyue Gorge?

Looking at the river below, although it was only more than two hundred meters, and the depth of the water in some places, Yang Lin's eyes lit up, and he had an idea in his heart.

Liao Qifang led his troops to continue to harass the Liukou, and ordered Wang Fuchen to lead the naval army upstream, while he personally led the water and land army to camp and rest on the spot.

Haoge organized people and horses to walk the plank road overnight, but the plank road was too narrow and only one horse could pass through, and Liao Qifang led his troops to attack overnight, and everyone was not at peace all night.

When he woke up early the next morning and saw that the volunteers were still camping outside, Haoge was very happy and was about to tease the other party, who expected the news from the front that the volunteers had crossed the Mingyue Gorge and were now approaching the Chaotian area.

Everyone was shocked, and Haoge hurriedly threw down his soldiers and horses to cross the Fujiang River, and the loss of Haoge was equivalent to a group of dragons without a leader, after several days of fierce fighting. Including Mingyue Gorge, Lizhou, Jiange County and other places, the Tartars all defected to the volunteers.

Everyone is washing in the sky, everyone is very happy, since Wanli has been undefeated by the Tartars, everyone has every reason to believe it.

But that's when bad news came one after another.

First of all, news came from the direction of Guizhou, Liukou entered Sichuan, and Wang Yingxiong, the governor of the four provinces, died of illness.

It turned out that Wang Yingxiong was sick, but after hearing that Zeng Ying was killed in battle and that Liukou was attacking Zunyi, Wang Yingxiong fled and became

Yang Lin was slightly stunned, and was about to answer, when he suddenly saw a scout come to report that Zhao Ronggui had sent an envoy to the front of the camp and was about to discuss the matter of returning to Shun.

Forced by Haoge and Liu Jinzhong, Zhao Ronggui led his troops to Shun Manchu Qing, and then was ordered to lead his troops to attack Long'an Mansion.

Zhao Ronggui was shocked, and hurriedly convened the generals to discuss the matter, and his nephew Zhao Desheng advocated that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was brutal, and there was no eternal age, and everyone should protect Sangzi since they were Sichuan people.

The sudden rise of the Volunteers is even more highly anticipated, and everyone has worked together under the account of Governor Chen Shiqi in the past.

Zhao Ronggui couldn't make a decision for a while, but he still led the soldiers and horses to gallop to help Baizhang Pass, and breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that the volunteers occupied the dangerous pass ten miles outside the pass, and sent an envoy to discuss the matter of returning to Shun.

This was the first army to take the initiative to submit to his own troops, after receiving the news, Yang Lin was overjoyed, and reorganized his department into the 12th Regiment, making Zhao Ronggui the chief soldier, and his nephew Zhao Desheng as the 12th Regiment Division.

Early in the morning of the first day, the sky was full of fog, and no one could be seen four or five meters away.

At the risk of exploding, the gunner stuffed the shells into the bore and fired them into the distance.

By noon, the fog gradually dissipated, and it was clearly visible in the distance, in order to break through the cottage in the distance, the regiments involved in tackling the fortified positions also launched their own Franc machine guns, so that the guns and cannons in front of them were loud, and the whole gate fell into a scourge.

In the firelight, under the cover of birds, bows and arrows, Liao Qifang led his soldiers to carry the ladder to the pass one by one to prepare to attack the dangerous pass.

In order to prevent the counterattack of the people and horses on the border, the soldiers Ding Duo wore two layers of armor, held a huge shield in front of him, and continued to rush up along the ladder.

Hauge stood in front of the pass in full armor, strictly ordering the 5,000 green battalion soldiers and horses around him to guard the dangerous pass, and behind him, Bellenikan and Dingyuan general Heluohui led 1,000 Manchurian iron cavalry and 1,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, as well as the 5,000 remnants of Li Guoying, who had just retreated to Baizhang Pass.

After the defeat of the Great Western Army, Li Guoying and Dingyuan General Heluo Hui led their troops to pursue the remnants of the Great Western Army, and after chasing into the territory of Tongchuan Prefecture, they were intercepted by the local militia group, and fought for more than 20 days.

Seeing that Pengxi County was in sight, after suddenly hearing the news of the defeat of the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty under Haoge, they were shocked, Li Guoying and Heluohui led their troops to retreat all the way north, and there were many deserters along the way, so the soldiers and horses of the green battalion were only half of the original, but now the soldiers are so tired that it is difficult to fight for a long time.

In order to cheer everyone up, Haoge told everyone that the general soldier Zhao Ronggui has led the troops to capture Long'an Mansion, and is now leading 5,000 soldiers and horses to gallop to the aid of the starry night.

However, after successive defeats, the morale of the Green Battalion soldiers was extremely low, and now they saw that the volunteers not only had Fran machine guns, but also red-coated cannons, and the whole army was quite frightened.

During the conversation, a flowering bomb flew over the top of the head and fell behind it, and an explosion occurred in the Eight Banners Array, and the projectile flew sideways within four or five meters, killing and injuring four or five people in a moment.

One person was panicked, but everyone was even more afraid of Haoge's brutality, and just now he killed three small flags, looking at the bloody heads, and everyone was so shocked that they didn't dare to come out.

The mechanical stones were thrown down, although there were many casualties, but the volunteers had no intention of stopping, one fell, and the other rushed up to fill the gap.

Seeing that the pass was so difficult to attack, Qian Bangqi, the supervisor next to him, couldn't bear to say: "My lord, this Baizhang Pass is a famous and dangerous pass in northern Sichuan, if it is such a hard attack regardless of casualties, there will be a lot of casualties at that time."

Since the adults have set up a series of plans, why not postpone the attack on the mountain, so that such an effect can be achieved. ”

Yang Lin said with a smile: "In the face of absolute strength, any strategy is pale and powerless.

I've made a series of plans, but it's just to add protection to win. ”

Qian Bangxin thought for a while, looked at Liao Qifang, who was trying to lead the crowd to attack the mountain, and said, "My lord, why don't you tell General Chen about the plan first, so that he can be mentally prepared."

It's good that the adults are so desperate to conquer such a dangerous pass within two days in public. ”

Yang Lin shook his head, picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance, on the mountain road three miles away, about 500 people were climbing along the mountain road, preparing to attack the Qing army guarding the pass from behind.

Whether it can be achieved by closing the door and beating the dog, the key is in this battle, as the saying goes, to win with righteousness and odds, in order to ensure the victory of this battle, Yang Lin can be said to have made a heavy bet.

The experience of his previous life told him that there was a sheep intestine trail to sneak into the back mountain at any dangerous pass, and before and after arriving at Baizhang Pass, Yang Lin sent people to look for the surrounding woodcutters, so as to find such a sheep intestine trail.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Yang Lin sent his guard chief Wu Dazhu to lead more than 500 people to take advantage of the fog as a cover to secretly sneak into the back mountain last night, and now he is relying on iron hooks and ropes to climb the back mountain, preparing to launch a counterattack against the green camp.

Wu Dazhu suddenly led his troops to kill, and Hauge, who was directing the battle in front, was shocked, and just sent Belenikan to lead more than 500 cavalry to bomb the pressure, when suddenly there was a burst of cheers in front of the pass.

It was rumored that the general soldier Zhao Ronggui had already returned to the Shun Volunteer Army, and now he was leading his troops and horses to attack Yangping Pass, so as to cut off the return route of the Manchu Dynasty.

Haoge didn't believe it at first, since entering Sichuan, Liu Jinzhong and Zhao Ronggui took the lead in leading the soldiers and horses to return to the Qing Dynasty, and five days ago there was good news, Zhao Ronggui captured Long'an Mansion in one fell swoop, and killed Zhu Hualong, the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty who had a grudge against him, so how could he surrender to the Manchu Dynasty?

Hauge doesn't believe it, it doesn't mean that his soldiers don't believe it, especially when they see that the back mountain is occupied and the volunteers suddenly increase their troops to the front line, everyone dare not have the slightest doubt.

The army's heart was unstable, and the volunteers seized the opportunity, only to see a few soldiers attacking the city with a few wooden tables, and throwing the burning earth-shattering thunder on the wall buttress at a distance of five or six meters from the wall battlement, taking advantage of the aftermath of the explosion, several soldiers jumped up one after another, and then waved the treasure knife in their hands and slashed wildly.

Under the supervision of the small flag commander, a few soldiers surrounded and prepared to fight, and suddenly there were still a few earth-shattering thunders below again, and everyone's momentum was frustrated, and some even retreated back.

The Manchurian soldier who supervised the battle behind was furious, brandishing a big knife and preparing to slash at a soldier, but the soldier was frightened and roared angrily as he ran: "Brothers, we are all Han Chinese, how can we be willing to help the Tartars die?"

Brothers, Yang Lin treats the soldiers and brothers well, everyone returns to the volunteers, and it is better to go to the land and farm than to work for the Tartars. ”

Seeing that the volunteers were about to attack the gate, some people were forced to be forced by the generals to shave into a rat's tail and become a green battalion, and some people felt that the general trend had gone and hoped that the battlefield uprising would survive, although everyone had different purposes, but now seeing the volunteers jumping into the gate one by one, they didn't want to fight hard, and in the sound of surrendering their guns, everyone raised their hands and surrendered.

The army was defeated like a mountain, Haoge had no choice, so he had to lead his troops to retreat to Hanzhong, and after a day of fierce fighting, the volunteers occupied the dangerous Baizhang Pass.

Yesterday the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, today's first day of the new year, the beginning of the new year did not expect to win such a dangerous pass, everyone seemed quite happy, and also ordered a big reward for the three armies, in addition to sending guards to the surroundings, everyone crowded in the big tent to drink wine and eat meat.

Liao Qifang, the guerrilla general of the Second Regiment covered in blood, was different, and the whole person looked quite annoyed, sat down, drank a few glasses and stood up and said: "My lord, the last general has followed the adult for four years, and he thinks that he is still loyal.

But this time, on the one hand, the lord strictly ordered the last general to attack Baizhang Pass, and on the other hand, he let the escort brigade attack it as a surprise soldier. ”

Yang Lin's face was gloomy, and he looked at Liao Qifang and said, "Merit, why do you only think about merit?"

The second regiment rushed to seize the gate head-on, of course, a great achievement, and the surprise attack of the escort brigade certainly also had a credit.

Why do you think only about this little credit?

Now that the Manchu Tartars have entered the Central Plains, there will be many opportunities for everyone to make meritorious contributions in the future, as long as everyone works hard, this achievement will be a trivial matter for everyone in the future, why are we so careful today? ”

Liao Qifang's face was ruddy, and he argued: "My lord, I have been following my lord for more than four years.

However, the brothers of the Second Regiment talked one by one, and everyone lamented that if everyone had played with their lives as they did later at the beginning of the war, they would have been able to take the credit and make up for the regret of not participating in the Battle of Shunqing."

Yang Lin smiled: "I love to listen to this sentence, go into battle to fight, you should play with your life."
