Haoge felt like a divine help, and he killed the culprit Zhang Xianzhong among the ten thousand armies, which was something that could be encountered but not sought.

The 100,000-strong army of the Great Western Army collapsed, and its results were far superior to those of Azig and Duoduo.

A few days ago, the field battle of all walks of life was blocked, and after he came to the front line, the other party immediately abandoned his armor and fled back to Shunqing City, and the other roads were full of good news, and Hauge felt that he was once again favored by the goddess of luck.

The difficulty of the Shu road is difficult to go to the blue sky, from Guanzhong into Hanzhong, and then into Sichuan, all the way up the mountains and deep ravines, the road is very difficult, but because the Ming army, the Ming army of all walks of life is in their own formation, there is no defense, the Manchu Qing Dynasty only drove straight into the hinterland of Sichuan.

Although there are forests all the way from Phoenix Mountain to Shunqing Fucheng, the locals are accustomed to living in huge mountains, and everyone builds a walled city to guard against bandits, wild beasts and jackals.

A few days ago, the volunteers relied on the cottage and attacked from time to time.

Along the way, there are often two or three cottages several miles away, surrounded by rivers, mountains and forests, about dozens of meters high.

In order to attack the cottage, the soldiers and horses of the Green Battalion were tired of coping, and the Eight Banners of Manchuria often dismounted to fight, but the road was rugged and dangerous, and it was very difficult to climb and fight.

In the past few days, the Qing army on the front line has taken care of one thing and the other, and the other has to deal with it, and all units are exhausted and have suffered heavy casualties.

In order to deter the Sichuan people, the Qing army adopted a slaughtering strategy, not only broke through the cottage chickens and dogs, but also sent soldiers and horses to loot and kill in the past few days.

As the bloody fighting continues, it seems that the Volunteers have finally taken it no longer and are now covering the retreat of the people south.

Now that the obstacles to advance have finally been cleared, the army arrived ten miles north of Shunqing City, looking at the surrounding mountains and rivers that wind for dozens of miles, looking at the mountains and forests on the upper slopes, and seeing the volunteer camp that spread for miles outside the city.

Seeing the volunteers fighting out of the city, instead of defending the city, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The golden soldiers are not more than 10,000, and the world is invincible if there are more than 10,000 soldiers, and since Lao Nu raised the army, he has never been defeated in the field.

I didn't expect Yang Lin to be so arrogant, he actually dared to go out of the city to fight, isn't this an egg touching a stone?

The generals of the Qing army were gearing up one by one, and everyone wanted to finish their work in one battle and defeat the other party in the field battle to achieve the goal of deterring the Sichuan people.

At this time, in the prefect's yamen in the city, everyone was filled with righteous indignation, many people shouted loudly, and everyone vowed to fight to the death with the Tartars.

The fact that everyone was so angry was because of the brutal massacre of the Manchus.

Later generations said that Zhang Xianzhong slaughtered Sichuan, this year's Pengjiangkou fiasco, when he withdrew from CD City, Zhang Xianzhong purged the generals of Daxi and killed many generals, but it was not a massacre at all.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was different, in beheading Zhang Xianzhong to pursue the remnants of the Great Western Army, and attacking the various cottages guarded by the volunteers, it was indiscriminate, regardless of men, women, old and young, regardless of right and wrong, all of them were killed.

Jing Keqin came to report that when Bai Yongfu, the chief soldier of the Green Battalion, attacked Dujiamiao, the Tartars attacked the five surrounding cottages, not only robbing grain and livestock, but also killing people when they saw them.

Yang Bingyi came to report that the common people were afraid of the Tartar massacre, and everyone avoided the military disaster one after another, hiding in the old forests of the forest and hiding in the caves, but they were also searched by the Tartar cavalry, and they were slaughtered by men, women, and children.

The scouts reported that more than ten miles near Jinpu Station, the corpses were pillowed, and many were killed by Tartars on both sides of the road with their bare hands.

…….

Up to now, Yang Linfang has completely understood that the Tartars are the real culprits of the Sichuan massacre, and in the early Ming Dynasty, Sichuan suffered many military disasters, such as the Manchu Qing Dynasty entering Sichuan, the Manchu Qing Dynasty extinguishing the remnants of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty suppressing Wu Sangui, which was not a human tragedy?

Due to the tragic massacres of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Sichuan, a province with a large population, returned to its primitive society almost overnight, and lions, tigers, wolves and leopards traveled back and forth.

Now the Qing army is like a ferocious beast, and only by introducing it into the preset battlefield can it really trap this beast.

After thinking about it, Yang Lin still decided to give up the practice of relying on the cottage to resist and consume the strength and momentum of the Qing army, and set up defenses in the north of the city to fight to the death with the Qing army.

As originally said, since the fiasco in the Battle of Sarhu, the Qing army has not really suffered setbacks in the field battle, and seeing Yang Lin's strategy of giving up the strategy of holding the city, everyone has discussed a lot, and some even suggest thinking twice.

But Yang Lin was full of confidence, although he didn't know much about the strength of the Tartars, but the strength of the volunteers was much stronger than that of the Green Battalion.

Through the battle a few days ago, everyone was really worried about the Tatar cavalry, and in order to fight against the Tatar cavalry, everyone deliberately prepared.

Shunqing City is surrounded by water on three sides, the Tartars come from the north to the west, there is only one road in the north of the city, and after a year and a half of preparation, the north of Shunqing City seems to be a flat river, and there is no fortification to build, but as the main general, of course, he knows where the heart is.

Relying on the city wall, a total of two fortifications were built, and in some dangerous places outside the fortifications, rows of rejecting horse pistols were often placed, and often more than ten spears about two zhang long were lined up through the horizontal logs, and placed in the key areas to block the impact of the enemy cavalry.

In addition to rejecting horse guns, some soldiers also carried thistles with them, which were sprinkled on the road when the enemy cavalry was pursuing, specifically to deal with the horses and horses.

Inside the announcement, stumbling ropes were dug everywhere, especially the top of the pit was covered with mud and grass, and the bottom was sharpened branches to block the attack of the opposing cavalry.

In addition, in the past few months, infantry and cavalry drills have been carried out every day, although the number of cavalry of the Volunteer Army is small, and the horseman's riding skills are not very good, but all departments have basically found a set of methods to deal with cavalry.

Now that the Manchus were enraged and were venting their anger by killing people, Yang Lin did not have to make unnecessary sacrifices, and decided to rely on the fortifications in the north of the city to defeat the opponent in the field battle.

After many drills, Yang Lin decided to take advantage of the characteristics of the Tatars to divide troops and take advantage of the characteristics of Shunqing City surrounded by water on three sides to carry out the battle layout.

In ancient times, there was a saying that the south boat and the north horse, the Qing army entered Sichuan from Hanzhong, the department was not just a foot horse, there was no water army, and after the baptism of the war in the past two years, the volunteer army had about 5,000 people, and now there are two Flying Tiger warship battalions, four sampan boat battalions, and four transport battalions, and the strength occupies an absolute advantage.

In peacetime, relying on the navy to shuttle between the Jialing River, the Fujiang River, and the Qujiang River, to ensure the supply of materials, grain and grass in the region, and to quickly mobilize the army, when the war was raging, the Flying Tiger Battleship Battalion and the Sampan Boat Battalion of the Navy went up along the Xijiang River and the Jialing River, and landed on the shore to bombard the Qing army and sabotage its offensive.

Shunqing City is surrounded by water on three sides, the east is the Jialing River with a wide water surface, the water flow is turbulent, and there is a naval army to protect it to ensure that it is comprehensive, and the west is the Xijiang River and the West Mountain.

On the west hill were Yang Bingyi's 5th Regiment and Wang Zhiyao's militia group, about 3,000 people, guarding the flank of the volunteers.

In the city, Du Jigui and Fan Mingwen led two militia regiments to garrison the four city gates, and the escort regiment and cavalry regiment were stationed in the city as a strategic assault force.

In the north of the city, the cottage was the center, relying on the mountains and rivers as a cover, some built camps outside the flat land, and some ambushed in the deep mountains and old forests, forming a fortification about 2 kilometers long and about 500 meters deep to block the Tartar attack.

On the left flank in the direction of the Xijiang River, there was a militia regiment under the command of Jing Keqin, the 6th Regiment of the headquarters, the 10th Regiment of Wang Zhibang and Qi Lianfang

In the direction of the Jialing River on the right flank, there is the 7th Regiment of the Headquarters under the command of Feng Youqing, the 8th Regiment of Wang Shuji and Wang Jiushao

In the direction of the Chinese army, the 1st Regiment of the Headquarters under the command of Yang Cheng, the 3rd Regiment of the Dragon Frame and a militia group of Puyi.

Except for Qi Lianfang, Wang Jiushao, and the militia regiments of the Yiyi Institute adapted for the Great Western Army, the other regiments of the Volunteer Army have been baptized on the battlefield in recent years, and they can be regarded as elite divisions in this era.

In order to support the operations of various units, 10 three-catty guns were equipped on the left and right sides, and 30 three-catty guns were deployed in the Chinese army to disrupt the opponent's offensive and provide fire support for the army.

Riding on the war horse, the generals of the Eight Banners are talking and laughing one by one, everyone has the ability to be confident, since the Battle of Salhu after the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been invincible in all previous field battles with the Ming Dynasty, and now Yang Lin actually dares to lead the troops in the field, which is probably too confident.

Looking at the volunteers outside the city, the soldiers outside the camp are sparsely arranged, roughly calculated, there are only more than 10,000 people before and after (many are hidden in the woods, hidden in the trenches, hidden in the villages), and this time the Manchurian Eight Banners led by Haoge are more than 6,000 people, plus 40,000 green battalion generals.

Obviously, the Volunteers had a heavy army to the north, and there was no other way to defeat the Volunteers in the field.

After the defeat of Zhang Xianzhong, Haoge decided to adopt a strategy of dividing the troops, and originally let the commander of the escort army, Aobai, lead the Bayala battalion (forward battalion) with the yellow flag to evacuate the rear of Langzhong to rest, but who expected that the volunteers relied on the cottage to stubbornly resist and were forced to helpless, so Haoge had to let Aobai lead the main force south again to participate in the battle of Shunqing.

Although the Bayala Battalion with the Yellow Banner as the main force beheaded Zhang Xianzhong and defeated the 200,000 Western Army, its casualties were also quite large, and now there are only 2,000 people who are killed and injured in battle.

The generals are full of confidence, everyone thinks that now the generals are gathered, that the golden soldiers are not more than 10,000, and more than 10,000 are invincible in the world, although the volunteers are strong, but the Qing army has 6,000 Manmeng iron cavalry, which can completely defeat the volunteers in person.

Hauge thought about it again and again, and decided to put the main attack direction in the middle, send soldiers and horses to the two wings to contain it, and then concentrate on the Bayala battalion (forward battalion) of the two armies of the blue flag and the yellow flag to carry out a frontal assault, and go straight to the big tent of the Chinese army of the Volunteer Army with a thunderous momentum, and then break through each one.

In order to achieve the goal, Haoge decided to have Belenikan and the Mongolian Zhenglan Banner Ma Laxi each lead more than 1,000 horsemen to suppress the formation, and commanded Gao Mingzhan and Bai Yongfu, the commanders of the Green Battalion, to lead more than 10,000 soldiers and horses on both wings.

And by the Han army is the blue flag commander Bayan, the green battalion commander Liu Jinzhong led more than 10,000 green battalion soldiers and horses to attack head-on, when the defense line is lax, Haoge and Ao Bai led the yellow flag guard, the blue flag guard army to kill, straight to the middle of the volunteer army, with a big defeat of the volunteer army, won the battle.

Everyone looked very relaxed, and everyone looked complacent, as if they had won the battlefield.

Obviously, Yang Lin didn't want Haoge to rest so easily, so he sent more than 100 Minzhuang to secretly dock on a transport ship that night, beating gongs and drums one by one, posing as a posture of a large army to invade and sneak attack the camp from behind.

While he was sleeping, he heard the sound of earth-shattering gongs and drums on the left, and the sound of shouting and killing, Hauge got up from his bed in shock, and ordered the battalions to strengthen their vigilance on the one hand, and sent soldiers and horses to clear them on the other hand, so that he was a little calm.

Everyone went back to bed and just fell asleep, less than half an hour, there were bursts of shouting and killing on the right again, although Haoge, who had listened to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms many times, knew that it was a tired strategy, but he did not dare to be careless, and ordered all departments to strengthen their vigilance.
