Chapter 614: Phoenix Mountain

"A big war of this magnitude, I don't know if there is a big war after the fight, we can only stay in Xi'an City honestly, what a waste of time."

Deng Heizi and Quan Zhuo sat in the Juyi Hall where the generals of the Dashun Army were originally deliberating, surrounded by the military generals of the local city defense battalion, but they didn't even dare to go out of the atmosphere.

Originally, this Juyi Hall had long been demolished beyond recognition, and it was changed to a discussion place for the generals of the defense camp, and now, the things that were originally in Dashun in Xi'an City have also been cleared and changed to the various yamen halls of Daqi.

Now that he is in charge of his own business, he naturally has to follow his own rules, hearing Deng Heizi's voice, Quan Zhuo also nodded, and said angrily:

"Yes, the city and the outside of the city have long been cleaned up, the brothers of the Xiaocai camp don't know what you are doing for a while, I think the emperor attaches too much importance to this Xi'an, as for letting us stay with more than a thousand Xiaocai, isn't this a knife for killing chickens?"

"Don't say these words, how the emperor will do it, we will do it, just watch Youyin and them fight everywhere, and they are idle here, it's itchy and a little uncomfortable."

"Haha, what Heizi said is that the emperor is eloquent, otherwise Daqi has come to this point, and there are some things that we can't think of, so I'm just nagging a few words!"

Deng Heizi is General Guangwu, Quan Zhuo is General Xianwufei, both of them are senior generals in the forbidden army, and they are also one of the top people in the entire Great Qi, and they will at least be a marquis in the future.

Listening to the two of them talking like this, even the chief general of the Xi'an City Defense Battalion didn't dare to answer, so he could only accompany a few wry smiles, and the following ones were even more face-to-face, lest they anger the two generals.

It didn't take too long, and soon a pacesetter rushed into the city from the south gate, shouting that Emperor Zhangwu Wang Zheng personally led the army to fight against Zhang Xianzhong's main force in Phoenix Mountain, and the rest of the soldiers and horses had all entered Sichuan, playing a triumphant song all the way.

Hearing this news, there should be no suspense about the battle of Phoenix Mountain and the extermination of Daxi, but Deng Heizi and Quan Zhuo are still extremely nervous, after all, this is the last battle in the real sense.

From March 12 of the first year of Zhangwu to issue the "Essay on Asking for Thieves" to raise troops to the west, until the end of June, the Great Qi destroyed the Great Shun, and recovered the entire northwest like a storm.

The Qi army led by Wang Zheng personally was invincible all the way, and it only took more than three months before and after, which has to make people feel that the world is impermanent.

After that, the Qi army did not rush to make a move against Zhang Xianzhong, and Wang Zheng did not have any new will, but only ordered the troops and horses of the co-suppression to arrange a blockade inside and outside Shaanxi to lay the foundation for the future march.

Immediately afterwards, Daqi began to redistribute generals in Shaanxi and Qinghai in an orderly manner, organized rectification, and selected the surrendered Dashun and former Ming civil and military officials to be reprimanded, which was not completed until mid-October.

In November, Wang Zheng appointed himself as a civil and military advocate to fight the generalissimo of the thief in Fengtian, raise troops to conquer Daxi, and determined to unify the Central Plains.

However, in this attack on Daxi, the Qi army did not clench into a fist like destroying Dashun, but instead divided the troops into two routes, cooperating with the Qi army that coordinated in various places to attack from four directions, and the troops dispatched were not too many.

During the westward expedition to Dashun, Wang Zheng mobilized nearly 500,000 men and horses from the hinterland of Shandong and Jiangnan, but with the surrender of Xuanda without a fight, and the recovery of Qinghai and Shaanxi, the territory became larger and larger, and there were more and more places that needed to be guarded by soldiers.

Some unstable places, such as Xi'an, which was once the capital of Dashun, even require forbidden generals like Deng Heizi and Quan Zhuo to guard it to ensure that there is no chaos.

After initially stabilizing the occupied Dashun territory, if it does not affect the stability of the rear, Wang Zheng can only mobilize less than 300,000 soldiers and horses to march south to Zhang Xianzhong.

Moreover, the land of Sichuan and Shu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is far from enough, so a few days before the southern expedition, the dragoon passed Wang Zheng's will to all departments and ordered him to assist in suppression.

Gao Jie's department, which had already reached the vicinity of Kaixian, Chen Yongfu's department in the south of Baoning, and Xing Yidao, who was suppressed by Li Dingguo to Wuding, Yunnan, and other troops all received the edict.

It didn't take long for the long-standing Qi troops and horses to begin to press Sichuan from all directions, with the aim of concentrating their forces to exterminate Daxi at one time.

......

More than ten miles of land in the northern suburbs of Chengdu, people shout horses neighing, Daxi and Daqi, when the two largest armies of soldiers and horses are gathered here, the noisy sound can be heard clearly several miles away.

Not long ago, Ai Nengqi, who led his troops to the east to conquer Licheng, was defeated by Gao Jie and Chen Yongfu, and lost his armor all the way to the interior of Shaanxi, and has been pushed to Shunqing for rectification.

There is also Sun Kewang, who was originally defeated at the hands of General Dashun, and originally planned to destroy the enemy with the hands of the Qi army, and reap the benefits of the fisherman himself, but he didn't think about it, and it was the old opponent who came to fight.

Liu Fangliang, who fought against Sun Kewang this time, changed into a large Qi standard armor, which was extremely powerful, and his command was more than 30,000 Qi troops after rectification.

Sun Kewang, who was waiting in the Wenxian garrison, could not defeat Liu Fangliang, an old opponent, at all, and the combat power of the Qi army after rectification was stronger than the original Dashun army, defeating more than 50,000 people of the Great Western Army with only 30,000 people.

For Zhang Xianzhong, in recent days, he has received news that the Qi army has broken all the way and that all units of the Great Western Army have broken one after another, and only Li Dingguo in the south has pressed Xing Yidao to advance steadily.

Xing Yidao and Li Dingguo fought three large-scale battles, all of which were defeated without exception, and the heaviest Qi army suffered nearly 30,000 losses, and had to withdraw from Wuding Mansion to join the rest of the soldiers and horses.

The Great Southwest Route Army continued to play a triumphant song and advanced to the depths of Yunnan, but the army led by Wang Zheng himself in the north had approached Chengdu, and Zhang Xianzhong had no choice but to gather men and horses to Phoenix Mountain for a decisive battle.

So far, the two sides have clashed several times, large and small, but there have been no major engagements.

Both sides were testing each other's strength and strength, and in several cavalry contacts, Onishi was defeated without suspense, although this did not affect the subsequent layout, but it made many Onishi generals look heavy.

"The four kings, the cavalry on the other side are all forbidden troops, it is not easy to provoke, it is said that even the Tartars outside the pass can not fall behind, but if it is an ordinary horse team, it will not be this result."

It was Liu Wenxiu, the general of Onishi Fuguo, who spoke, and he seemed to be a little unconvinced.

Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, and Ai Nengqi all led their troops to resist the rest of the Qi army, and the only senior general who followed Zhang Xianzhong was himself.

Don't look at Liu Wenxiu's age, but he is one of the oldest people who followed Zhang Xianzhong, and he has fought with the official army in the Central Plains for many years, and he has seen all kinds of war scenes.

But just now, after he saw the neat ranks and strict orders of the Qi army, he still felt that a boulder was pressed on his heart, and he always felt that the other party was irresistible.

In the clash of the cavalry, Liu Wenxiu took the old battalion of the Eighteen Villages, which was both a test and a necessary setback before the war, so both sides directly took out the main force with the intention of boosting the morale of the army.

Zhang Xianzhong's eighteen village horse team was known for "coming like the wind", playing the former Ming army regiments, in the joint attack of the provincial officials and troops, even Li Zicheng was forced into Shangluo Mountain, but he was invincible with the eighteen village cavalry.

They have never fought with the Qing army, and the cavalry in this world has long boasted of being the first.

didn't think about it, Daqi's cavalry was well-equipped, and their equestrian skills were not weaker than Zhang Xianzhong's eighteen zhai horse team, and they took out firearms and fired them immediately before they made contact.

The armor of the cavalry of the Eighteen Villages is the best in the Great Western Army, but it can't stop the opponent's lead bullets.

In order not to lose too many elites, Liu Wenxiu had no choice but to order a retreat.
