Chapter 181: A dilemma
(Maopu Chinese) Tuhai and Zhou Peigong led the army to sweep away Chahar, and it took only 12 days. Kangxi was busy all night, and ordered that most of the captured gold and silver be reserved for the navy's salary, and one part was transferred to Varge, who was stationed in Luoyang, so that he could rush into Tongguan to attack Xi'an, disrupt the rear of the ******, and contain the Wangping domain in Hanzhong. Urgently ordered Tuhai to take advantage of the victory to advance into Longdong from Jiandao Yikezhao, and attacked Pingliang's ****** with Daniel Zhang, who retreated to Lanzhou. The situation on the Western Front was immediately reversed, and the defense turned into an offensive.
In November, in the middle of winter, the 30,000 troops and horses under his command successively descended to more than 20 cities in Gongchang, Taizhou, and Pingliang, forcing Daniel Zhang to shrink to Lanzhou and not dare to advance eastward. When I first heard that the Qing soldiers of Luoyang and Taiyuan entered Shaanxi from Tongguan and Hangu Pass, ****** didn't care, and only ordered Hanzhong to guard Wang Pingfan to stop them, but when I heard that Tuhai and the Horqin cavalry came from Yikezhao, only more than 300 miles away, I suddenly felt that the situation was serious. He couldn't figure out where Tuhai brought this army from, and how could he suddenly appear in Ganbei? Come without a trace, go without a trace, soldiers have always been the most taboo. Hearing the urgent report, he didn't even bother to eat dinner, and while asking Pegasus to summon Wang Pingfan to help, he took the Chinese army counselors out to patrol the camp.
Out of Pingliang, it is already sunset. The bonfire rises in the wooden village of the military camp outside the city, and the military cooking rises. The aspen in the middle of winter pierces the dome like a stiffened brush. In the twilight, Liupan Mountain is gray and gloomy. On both sides of the Jingshui coast, there is solid ice, and only a narrow line of flowing water in the middle remains, shining golden in the setting sun. In the dry season, Jingshui is already a stream that can be broken by whipping and leaping horses. It is no longer a natural barrier.
"Daddy," Wang Jizhen, who was beside him, saw that his face was gloomy, and he looked into the distance without saying a word, so he comforted: "The art of war, thousands of miles of attack, will be a general, the sea and the sea are three thousand miles, crossing the desert to the south, there is no strength to break the reckless, our battle is not difficult to fight......"
He sighed: "You don't understand—smell the smell of cooking smoke, my soldiers are roasting horse meat to eat!" There is no salary, but it is conducive to our army's quick battle, Tuhai Ruotun troops under the city, within a month, the army's heart will be chaotic! ”
Gong Rongyu was also in a bad mood. Zhou Peigong, the nurse brother, has not seen him for many years, and the last time he was in Beijing, I only thought that he was a good scholar and a civil official, so how could he bring up troops? Since they are fighting each other, there will be victory and defeat, do you want me to come and kill my brother, or do I die at the hands of my brother? Thinking about it, he said to ******: "I really don't understand what the military gate has been fighting westward for. Since they have come from the north, why don't we go east and avoid them? ”
"The West is Elysium." With a wry smile, "There is a sentence in "Yue", 'He Li comes from the east, and I go to the west'. I didn't expect Wu Sangui to treat me like this, it's really chilling. There is no food or salary, and we can't help but fight our own ideas! To the east to join Wang Pingfan, of course, it can last for a while, but Tuhai and Daniel Zhang join forces here to advance eastward, and Varge attacks from the east, how long can we hold on? ”
"Daddy......" Wang Jizhen snorted for a moment, and stopped thinking about something.
He turned his face to look at his son and asked, "You want to persuade me to return to the Qing Dynasty again, do you?" Gong Rongyu heard a bang in his heart, the commanders of the three armies often thought about this in their hearts! It seems that he is bent on going west, and he also wants to occupy a piece of territory, so that he can ask for a price from the imperial court when he enters, and he can contact Qiangzang for self-protection when he retreats. Thinking about it, if it goes on like this, he will never see his mother, and he can't help but feel sour. was thinking wildly, but ****** said: "Returning to the Qing Dynasty is not something that cannot be imagined, compared with Wu Sangui, Kangxi is the hero, and I know it in my heart." ”
"It's really a blessing for the three armies to think like this," Gong Rongyu said hurriedly, "I'm afraid that it's in vain if I don't obey." ****** smiled bitterly: "How come? Now even a rough person like Ma Yistick has a heart. The last time he was drunk, wasn't he also singing Yang Shilang's 'regret shouldn't'? Wang Jizhen saw that Gong Rongyu also thought so, and smiled boldly at first glance: "In this case, Daddy should have made up his mind as soon as Tuhai arrives, and we will ...... as soon as Tuhai arrives."
Steeply choked the reins. At this time, it was dark, and he couldn't see his face clearly, only motionless like a paper-cut shadow, and it took a long time to hear him say categorically: "No! This battle must be fought to the death! If you win the war, you can negotiate to surrender; If you can't win, I'll die! Gong Rongyu and Wang Jizhen couldn't help but be silent, the matter was clear, surrender without a fight, surrender after defeat, and it would be difficult to escape Kangxi's killing!
"Cheer up! Look at the tiger pier in the north of the city, there is a stone tower and a well. ****** pointed to a vague, crouching tiger-like hill road, "When I first marched into Pingliang, the first thing I did was to garrison troops on top of it, and store grain - this tiger mound is the lifeblood of Pingliang - Jizhen, you will guard it for me personally." As long as Tuhai can't capture it, as soon as the grain road in the ice and snow is broken, he can only wait to be captured. Win this battle, and we will be able to advance and retreat! After the whip was whipped, he sat down and neighed, and galloped away with all four hooves......
In the early morning of the sixth day, the Tuhai army had arrived on the north bank of the Jing River, far away from Pingliang City. According to Tuhai's idea, he led 3,000 cavalry to make a surprise attack at night, first caught ****** off guard, and then stationed the army in the north of the city, and joined forces with Daniel Zhang. Zhou Peigong listened and pondered: "It's good for the general to have this method, but I'm afraid that Wu Sangui will also make a move, ****** is the first rat man, capricious, if you get a soldier's salary, it will be unfavorable to me." Although our army has some grain and grass, the grain route is far away, which is only conducive to quick battles. You are a famous general, and your tactics are ****** already familiar, so this style of play may be disadvantageous. Therefore, they walked quite slowly for the last three hundred miles, so as to conserve their strength so that they could engage the enemy in a rapid battle.
As soon as the army arrived at the Jing River, the order of the Chinese army was handed down: immediately set up camp and bury the pot to make rice. The battalion commanders quickly sent sentinels to look out, defend according to the district, and violators of the order were immediately beheaded. As soon as the order was issued, the Chinese army, the front and left flanks, and the rear left and right battalions acted together according to the order, setting up camps along the river, drawing water and digging pits, and smashing nails and pulling tents.
After lunch, ****** heard that the other party was camping, so he brought Ma Yiguo, Zhang Jianxun, He Yuzhi and other generals to inspect the south bank of the Jing River. Seeing a group of soldiers on the other side of the river surrounded Tuhai and Zhou Peigong, they were also peeking at their own camp, pointing and looking at Hudun from afar, so they shook their hands on the horse, and Gaul shouted: "Don't come to the old general Tu is unharmed?" Hello here! ”
"It's a harrier!" Tu Hai also laughed loudly, "Back then, I discussed the army with Jun Pinming in Beijing, and talked about state affairs together, I didn't want to go for a few years, but today I met each other with soldiers, the vicissitudes of life are changeable, and I can sigh!" Guanjun uses soldiers, it seems that there is no progress, I think in recent years, he only cares about rebellion, and he has not read military books! ”
Raising his whip and laughing, he said: "In the past, the old general talked about the army on paper, and it was the camp in the shape of the word 'product', but now he only turns the word 'product' upside down. The camp is in front, but it looks like a 'crying' word! ”
"Crying and laughing are similar, General Wang, don't mistake it!" Zhou Peigong waved the sleeve of his robe and said, "The so-called 'horse face' in the photo book, crying is laughter, laughing is crying, upside down and unpredictable - the general doesn't see the banner of the Chinese army?" Tujunmen is the general of Fuyuan, and he is 'Fu' on top. If the general can abandon the army to repair peace and join the imperial court, he can still be promoted to a marquis. At a time when the country is employing people, we must not make mistakes. Tu Shuai has prepared lamb wine here for a long time, and is willing to have a long talk with the general! Zhou Peigong searched everywhere for Gong Rongyu, but he didn't see him. Hearing this, he sneered and said: "Presumably you are Zhou Peigong, I advise you to go back and study hard, Hugh dances and writes in front of Ben Shuai, on the day of peace in the country, you are indispensable to a veil hat, why bother to break your head and bleed under this Jincheng soup pool, and become a ghost under my knife?" Zhou Peigong laughed and said, "Jincheng, Tangchi? You know what Jincheng and Tangchi are, my lord Long live the people under the people as the dry city, but you ****** want to divide Pingliang as a prestige, regardless of the people's suffering, demolish the people's houses for the barracks, sell the people's daughters to fill the army's salary, drive 30,000 tired soldiers, leave home and go west, how many wives, sons and daughters have been separated, like your heart and lungs, you have the courage of the overlord, and it is difficult to escape the misfortune of Wujiang's self-slaughter......"
Before Zhou Peigong finished speaking, ****** had already shot arrows like locusts on his side, and Tu Hai and the others had to retreat slowly. The military camps on both sides saw the opposing general's move, shouting, and firing ten thousand arrows; Suddenly there was a cannon in the battalion, and Liu Chun, the general of the cavalry, led more than 1,000 cavalry to jump over Jingshui from the west flank to kill him.
This is what ****** have thought about for a long time, and he must first wade into the muddy waters of the sea to see how capable his soldiers are.
The soldiers on the west flank of Tuhai were eating lunch, when they suddenly saw the cavalry of the opposing brigade waving long knives, rushing over with red eyes and roaring, and they fled without a trace like wolves. The wooden village that had just been built was not strong, and it was pushed and burned by the enemy soldiers, and it was in a mess.
Although Liu Chun successfully smashed a Qing camp, because he did not have to kill people, his heart was still insufficient, so he led the army to the east, directly attacked the Tuhai army camp, just approached the camp, he heard a cannon sound inside, the war drums sounded rapidly, row after row of arrows shot over like a rain, the first few horses were shot down, and the few horses behind just jumped wildly and neighed and refused to move forward. Liu Chun originally thought that after the rain of arrows, there would be cavalry coming out to fight and kill, but after waiting for a long time, he saw that the other party was still shooting fiercely, and it was expected that the enemy was marching so far that he did not dare to face the battle, so he left 300 cavalry to feint and attack the main camp, and the rest was led by himself to attack the right battalion behind.
After an appointment, the door of Tuhai's Zhongying Village opened, and the horse team inside did not say a word, and the tide came out, with more than 1,000 riders. The first member of the general was dressed in a red robe. The broadsword stood in front of the army, commanding the army horses to outflank them from the left, center and right, and immediately trapped the more than 300 enemy cavalry regiments in the middle.
At this time, the sun is near, and the winter is dusk. On the gravel beach, more than 1,000 horsemen galloped vertically and horizontally, war horses exchanged hooves, swords and halberds came and went, flashing cold light and rolling up thousands of feet of yellow dust. Some of the soldiers were silent and desperately fighting, and some were screaming shirtless. Some of those who were cut down fell under their horses, and were immediately trampled into flesh by the horses. Some are still wielding their knives in pain; Some were cut off their heads and cut off their spiritual covers; Some were stabbed in the arm and had their thighs cut off. Blood gushed everywhere on the battlefield, and people's faces and bodies were stained with blood. The ground was littered with horse corpses and human corpses, screaming and wailing. The shouts and killings are interspersed with the sound of drums, the sound of weapons colliding, and the shouts and cheers of the infantry, weaving a picture of the battlefield that is colorful and majestic.
