Chapter 231: Birds and Beasts Scatter

As soon as Zhang Xianzhong died, the generals of the Great Western Army cried, but the Manchu Tatar vanguard had already begun to attack the camp, and the Manchu Tatar rear road continued to kill.

Now that there are the Barbarian Qing in the east and the north, the Volunteers in the south, and the Ming Army in the west, the question of where to go will quickly become a reality in front of the generals of the Great Western Army.

Wang Zhaolin, Zhang Kewang and other upper-level backbone elements of the Great Western Army believe that although Yang Lin keeps saying that he wants to fight against the barbarian Qing like Yue Fei, didn't Yue Fei kill Yang Mo Zhongxiang, the leader of the peasant army uprising?

Is there less mute loss from eating Yang Lin in the past two years?

What is even more chilling is that the methods of dealing with the army, whether it is defection to the past or the appendix of the battlefield, have all been reorganized.

Although the combat effectiveness of the army has increased greatly after the reorganization, this is also the lifeblood of the generals.

Although the middle and lower echelons of the army have a lot of affection for the volunteers, the upper leadership group deeply hates the disease.

Wang Zhaolin, Zhang Kewang and others gave up defecting to the Volunteers without any consideration and gave up the idea of alliing with the Volunteers.

The right prime minister Yan Ximing and other Sichuan civil and military officials are different, now that Zhang Xianzhong is dead, the Great Western Army is gone, there is no need to accompany everyone to the funeral.

This Yang Linxiu was born, and although he was arbitrary, most of the local officials and generals in the army were locals, and they were inextricably linked.

In the past year, Yang Lin has made great achievements, and the lives of the people under his rule have gradually stabilized, and he is respected by everyone like a paradise in this troubled world.

Many middle-level military attachΓ©s were also quite moved, and when exchanging grain, everyone heard that Wang Zhibang and Jin Tongwu had become generals who were in charge of their own affairs, and Peng Jianxin, Hong Zhenglong, Zhou Shangxian, and Puyi had also been given important responsibilities.

Now that Zhang Xianzhong is dead, there is no one who can suppress the four (Sichuan) civil and military officials with strong bullets, and they are powerless to suppress the opponents, and everyone is bent on forming an alliance with the volunteers to jointly deal with the barbarian Qing.

Zhang Xianzhong's bones were not cold, everyone quarreled endlessly, Zhang Kewang said angrily: "When my father was here, I waited for you a lot, but now my father's bones are not cold, everyone has infighting, what a reason?" ”

Yan Ximing, the right prime minister, sighed and said: "General Zhengdong, now that the barbarian army is pressing the border, our army has suddenly suffered such a catastrophe, we have to decide as soon as possible."

General Zhengdong, we think that only by forming an alliance with Yang Lin's volunteers can we avenge the Lord of Long Life. ”

Hearing Yan Ximing say this, many middle-level generals were in favor of forming an alliance with the Volunteers to jointly deal with the Barbarian Qing.

Zhang Kewang sighed: "Everyone, my father was killed by the Barbarian Qing, don't you want to take revenge as a son?"

But that Yang Lin was scheming, calculated his father many times, captured the land of Shunqing and Tongchuan, and forced his father to withdraw from the CD), so there was a lot of trouble.

The barbarian Qing is strong, there are many soldiers and horses, and my 100,000 army is still invincible, not to mention Yang Lin's 30,000 horses?

The Volunteer Army is its own system, if we defect to the Volunteer Army, we will inevitably be divided and disintegrated by Yang Lin, and our Great Western Army will no longer exist at that time. ”

Zhang Nengqi also roared loudly: "My father has just died, and it is clear who is loyal and who is treacherous.

You take your Yangguan Avenue, I wait for my single-plank bridge, and I don't object to you taking refuge in Yang Lin, but I also hope that you can let me and other brothers live, and let me wait to withdraw to southern Sichuan under your banner. ”

When Yan Ximing heard this, his face was embarrassed, and he didn't know what to do.

Zhang Kewang pulled out his sword and scolded loudly: "Yan Ximing, why are you four (Sichuan) people so black?

Isn't it too heartless to not help with this little thing now?

You say that Yang Lin is thick and thin, and benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled, in this case, as long as you don't reveal the movements of our army to Yang Lin, why not? ”

Yan Ximing gritted his teeth and said: "General Zhengdong has spoken to this point, since this is the case, then I will fight this old life to protect the general's brothers, when the time comes, Yang Lin will kill if he wants to kill, and if he wants to cut it, the old man will fight this old life." ”

When Zhang Kewang heard this, he was overjoyed.

Just as the CCP army in the previous life was divided into the main force and the non-main force, the main force often escaped from the enemy's round-up under extremely unfavorable circumstances, and the same was true of the Great Western Army hundreds of years ago.

Wang Shangli and Feng Shuangli led the army to continue to resist and contain the main force of the Tartars.

Although there are many soldiers and horses in the Tartars, everyone did not expect that the battlefield will be successfully beheaded, and its main force is still dozens of miles away, and now it is constantly arriving.

Although the Aobai Yellow Flag Guard Battalion is elite, there are only 800 of them, and everyone never thought that such a demon would be so disgracefully killed and wounded in battle when they saw Zhang Xianzhong fall off the horse, some thought that he was shot to death, and some thought that he was seriously injured.

Everyone was ecstatic, and Ao Bai led the yellow flag guard camp to attack, but the other party collapsed at the first touch, and did not dare to resist at all.

After half an hour, the Tartars gathered more and more, the other side bombed the camp, and the army completely lost its command, some fled to the west, some fled to the south, and some people did not know what to do and resisted stubbornly.

The Daxi Army fled in all directions, while Zhang Kewang, Zhang Dingguo, Zhang Wenxiu, Zhang Nengqi and others led the main force to flee south along the Fujiang River.

In particular, Zhang Dingguo and Zhang Wenxiu's troops, which were stationed in Fangxian County, as the rear guard of the army, now changed the rear team to the front, went down the Fujiang River, and pounced on Lingqing in the starry night.

It is important for everyone to flee for their lives, and they can't control those stragglers at all, and now they are fleeing for their lives.

At this time, Ao Bai and the others were sure that the demon king Zhang Xianzhong was at least seriously injured, and sent messengers to urge him repeatedly, and Hao Ge led the team to arrive in an endless stream.

It was not until noon that the main forces of the Tartars arrived one after another, and after the news of Zhang Xianzhong's death spread, the peasant army formation within a radius of more than ten miles collapsed.

As if the world was apocalyptic, the panicked peasant army fled one by one, everyone desperately fled to the surrounding villages, fled to the distant towns, everyone threw away their baggage, one by one took the most valuable things, brought weapons, and fled in groups to this hell on earth.

From this point of view, the decapitation battle of Phoenix Mountain that broke out in the Manchu Qing conquest of the Great Western Army was an encounter or a defeat battle, and the Manchu Qing accidentally killed the Great Western Emperor Zhang Xianzhong, but on the other hand, it also reflected that this battle was not a well-planned war of annihilation.

After the beheading of Emperor Zhang Xianzhong, the 70,000-strong Onishi army collapsed and fled in all directions, while the main force of the Manchu Qing did not arrive in time to deal a devastating blow to the Onishi army.

This explains that after suffering such a heavy loss, the Great Western Army was able to seize Chongqing (Qing), which was heavily defended, was able to quickly capture Zunyi, Guiyang and other cities, was able to capture Kunming in less than half a year, and controlled the whole province of Yunnan in the next year.

But there is no doubt that Zhang Xianzhong is a brutal person, whether it is cutting off the arms of thousands of soldiers in Chongqing, slaughtering hundreds of scholars in the CD Dabei Temple, or plundering and killing disobedient elements in the army, all of them are tragic.

The main result of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's beheading battle on Phoenix Mountain was to kill Zhang Xianzhong and defeat the Great Western Army.

For the Great Western Army, the main thing is to lose Zhang Xianzhong, which is a shock to the hearts and minds of all the soldiers. )、

Seeing that there were fleeing crowds of people everywhere within a radius of more than ten miles, he commanded the generals to either attack the camp or lead his troops to pursue the fleeing brigade of soldiers and horses, so it took a day of hard work to gradually resolve the battle within a radius of dozens of miles.

Jing Keqin, the guerrilla general of the 6th Regiment, has been paying close attention to the movements in the direction of Xichong, especially after receiving news last night that the Manchu Tartars had entered Sichuan and that Liu Jinzhong and Zhao Ronggui had surrendered.

As soon as the mist cleared, I saw piles of war burning for dozens of miles around the Gimpo Post Station, and when I heard the sound of shouting and killing from the north, I hurriedly ran to a high ground and kept watching the movement in the distance with my binoculars.

The security teams at the passes were very panicked, and they didn't know who was the first to light the beacon, and all of a sudden, the beacon tower was set on fire for miles in a moment.

Seeing the raging flames burning on the beacon tower, Jing Keqin immediately sent a scout horse down the mountain to inquire about the news, and even sent a fast horse to Shunqing City to report the news.

Less than half an hour after the order was issued, a newspaper was placed near the town of Gimpo:

The Barbarian Qing advance arrived this morning, and now it is launching an offensive against the Liukou, and as soon as the two sides fight, the Great Western Army is completely passive.

Now the camp of the Great Western Army within a radius of more than ten miles is almost collapsing, and everyone seems to have lost their backbone, and the crowd is fleeing in all directions.

Hearing this, everyone felt very nervous, Zhang Xianzhong had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, plus there would only be more coolies who were forcibly recruited, how could he be attacked and collapsed?

Jing Keqin had no choice but to order Tanma to continue to inquire about the news, on the one hand, to report to the surrounding brother troops, to send fast horses to Shunqing City, and on the other hand, to mobilize the surrounding villages to help guard the cottage.

By noon, the situation gradually became clearer, and Tanma found an astonishing news that the Liukou was scattering in all directions, and tens of thousands of people exclaimed the slogan of "The barbarian Qing is coming, and the eight kings are killed in battle", and now they are discussing in the direction of Dujiamiao.

Dujia Temple is about 20 miles away from Jinshanpu, it is already noon, the mist has dispersed, the sky is clear, and the telescope looks all over the mountains and fields are full of fleeing people.

Everyone filled the road, threw away their armor, and trotted all the way to the south, and everyone wailed all the way to the south.

At this time, Jing Keqin had already received the news that in addition to his own 6th Regiment within a radius of ten miles, the Buning Cavalry Regiment and Yang Bingyi's 5th Regiment were also nearby to stop the Tartars from pursuing.

And the lord has already led the main force to leave Shunqing City, and is arranging defenses twenty miles from the rear.

According to the orders of the adults, the battalions concealed their whereabouts, and everyone lurked in several nearby cottages, waiting for an opportunity to stop the rogues.

The rogues are arrogant and arrogant, and they think they are invincible in the field. In the face of such a strong enemy, Yang Lin also hoped to take the lead in annihilating one part of it through ambush like the Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, so as to boost the morale of the army.
