Wang Huan's Kuizhou army squad and team organization exerted great power in street battles, and the circumference of Hanzhong City was only nine miles and three points, the outline of the city was not large, and the streets and alleys in the city were not wide, which was not suitable for large troops to fight in groups, but the flexible small troops were like fish in water. On a street, it can often only accommodate four or five people in parallel, and the most spacious Yaqian Street is only more than a zhang wide, which can accommodate two horse-drawn carriages and barely open the line by mistake.

In such an environment, the squad of the Kuizhou army gave full play to the advantages of diversification of composition, and when charging, the bird was in front, the sword and shield hand held the shield in one hand, the crossbow in the other, and the long knife hanging from the waist, followed closely behind, and then behind was the spearman holding a white-rod hook sickle.

Every time the Qing army, the bird gun hand immediately stopped, set up the bird gun is a row of volleys, smoke and fire do not look at the results of the battle, immediately flash to both sides of the street, revealing the sword and shield hand behind, the sword and shield hand crossbow shot indiscriminately, the arrow is like a flying locust, crackling, basically the Qing soldiers on the opposite side are not standing, and then wait for the smoke to disperse, if there are Qing soldiers from behind, the sword and shield hand also flashed to both sides, the Kuizhou army standing behind the spearman on the spear to meet up, the spear is full of three zhang, far stretched out Qing soldiers can not even stand the side, There are Qing soldiers who are not afraid of death from the spears rubbing their bodies approaching, the sword and shield hands standing on both sides immediately hold the shield to resist, and the bird hand swings the crescent axe to cut off the head and the feet, so with this cooperation, the Qing soldiers have almost no chance of winning.

In Wang Huan's words, in cold weapon warfare, no matter how strong an individual is, in the face of the team's well-trained cooperation, they are all scum.

In the dark night, because the Kuizhou army entered the city suddenly, the Qing soldiers in the city couldn't figure out where the Qing army came from, and the Ming army was wearing Qing army clothes and armor, confusing the public, the Qing soldiers couldn't distinguish clearly, and often passed by the Kuizhou army without realizing that the other party was the enemy, and was caught off guard by the Kuizhou army.

Of course, everyone in the Kuizhou army tied a white towel on their right arm, and they would not tell the Qing soldiers about the way they braided the enemy and us.

The city was full of shouts and fires, and there were people fighting in every street, and there was chaos.

Wang Huan took two hundred-person teams and went straight to the treasury in the city, killed dozens of Qing soldiers who were guarding, smashed open the warehouse door, and went in to see that there was indeed military rations left by Qing soldiers inside.

The military rations were loaded in huge baskets, loaded with several warehouses, about nearly 20,000 stones, which were urgently transferred from Xi'an by the Qing army after recovering Hanzhong, and were ready to be transported to Guangyuan to supply the Haoge army, which was a drop in the bucket with the 100,000 Haoge army, but as long as the supply of grain and grass in Xi'an was continuous, it could ensure that the Haoge army would not go hungry.

Wang Huan broke into the warehouse, grabbed a handful of fine white rice in the basket, shook his head regretfully, sighed, turned his head and ordered to Zubian and the others: "Everyone go to the yard and push a wheelbarrow, load the rice and grain here, load as much as you can, and then set fire here!" ”

Everyone agreed in unison, and immediately got busy, because of the need to carry on weekdays, there are many wheelbarrows in the courtyard of the treasury, this kind of car is said to have been invented by Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms, solid and durable, and it is very smooth to push up a hundred pounds of heavy objects, it is the main means of transportation in Shudao, and the white-robed soldiers have a car for one person, and they are loaded with their arms.

In less than an hour, the people brought by Wang Huan each pushed a cart and left the treasury, but there was still a large amount of grain and grass left in the warehouse, and only a small corner was moved, and the piled rice could be pushed up to the beams of the house.

"Set it on fire, burn it clean!" Wang Huan ordered with a cold face.

Ma Zuoheng, who grew up in the ravine, was accustomed to a hard life, suffered from hunger and ate chaff, and cherished grain very much, when he saw that so many good white rice was about to be burned, his flesh was painful, his face was unbearable, and he stood there and wanted to speak.

Zubian saw him like this, knew what he was thinking, patted him on the shoulder, and said with relief: "Don't be a pity, we can't move these good things, staying here will only make the tartars cheaper, the rice is all planted by our Han people, and it is better to burn it than to leave it to the tartars, not to mention the plan of the adults, you also know, is to cut off the grain road of Haoge, and not a single rice of grain here can fall into the hands of the tartars." ”

Ma Zuoheng listened, his eyes were certain, and he exhaled: "Master Zu, the last general understands in his heart, my lord's decision, I am unobserved, don't worry, I will burn it!" ”

After that, Ma Zuoheng picked up a torch, walked to the basket made of bamboo strips, looked up, and ignited the basket.

The fire slowly ignited, and when the evening breeze blew, the fire took advantage of the wind and immediately became a sky-high fire, which swept the whole warehouse into flames, and the rest of the grain was reduced to ashes in the fire.

Nearly 1,000 Qing soldiers left behind in the city, including two Niu Lu Zhangjing, except for more than 30 people who escaped, the rest all died in the melee, and when the sky was slightly bright, the Kuizhou army cleaned up the battlefield, the whole army went out of the city, and disappeared into the vast wilderness.

Tambai's reinforcements arrived at noon on the third day, with a total size of 10,000 men, led by Malashi himself, and came to the rescue in a hurry.

In addition to the granary that was devastated and burned to ashes, Ma Lashi did not save anything, and the corpses of the Eight Banners soldiers who died in the city were all stripped of their essence and humiliatedly piled up beside the city gate of Zhenwu Gate at the west gate of Hanzhong, and placed in the shape of a Beijing view for people to admire and visit.

In addition to the shock, Malahi's heart was still shocked, more than 2,000 people of the Eight Banners were wiped out in one battle, which was a very rare defeat since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, but it happened in the land of Hanzhong, if this kind of defeat is fought a few more, the precious population resources of the Qing Dynasty will be exhausted.

What's even more incredible is that more than 2,000 people are authentic children of the Eight Banners, and there are hundreds of Bayala soldiers, as brave and elite Jurchen soldiers, one person is enough to reach ten Han soldiers, what kind of Ming army will defeat the Qing army with Bayala warriors in one blow?

Ma Lashi did not dare to slack off, and immediately entered the city with the whole army to take strict precautions, and at the same time repaired the book and reported to Haoge and Tan Bai respectively, and explained to Meng Qiaofang in Xi'an that the grain and grass had been burned, and that the grain and grass should be redistributed as soon as possible.

More than a dozen cavalrymen, carrying Malahi's urgent military report, went out of the city and galloped in different directions.

Sichuan, outside Guangyuan City, in the camp of the Qing army.

"Bastard!"

With a roar of rage, a delicate jade ruyi was thrown to the ground and shattered into powder.

In front of the powder, there was a Qing army general kneeling on the ground, his bald head was shiny, and his thin rattail pigtail was dragged behind his head, like a melon vine on a row of watermelons.

These usually fierce brave generals hung their heads on the ground one after another, and they didn't dare to come out, burying their heads in silence.

There are only two people who did not kneel on the ground, and they are noble, so naturally they don't need to kneel.

On the left sits Aobai, and on the right sits Sul.

Standing in the middle was Hauge, who was furious and his face darkened.

On the long table in front of Hauge, there was a military report that had just been delivered, and Ma Lahi used as soft words as possible, explaining the failure of Hanzhong and the killing of Tuge, and explaining the means of the Ming army to deceive the city gate, implying that Li Guohan, who had attacked Yinping Dao, had failed and been killed.

"Arrogant! How daring!! Killing my Eight Banners doesn't count, he also stripped off his clothes and was naked and humiliated! Darn! Bastard! Haug roared, his voice almost lifting the roof of the tall golden tent, and even the Bayala guards standing outside the tent felt their eardrums ache.

"What do you eat? Yes? The small sword gate has been closed for so many days, and it still can't be attacked, do you want this king to go into battle in person? Haoge's gaze shifted to the generals kneeling in front of him, and his temper was even higher, and he scolded with a split face: "If the Sword Gate Pass had been captured earlier, would these things have happened?" What is the use of this king's wants? ”

The generals kneeling on the ground did not dare to raise their heads, and the timid even began to tremble, they knew Haoge's temper, and as soon as the anger came up, no one could control it, and they could not say who was not pleasing to the eye, and they would draw a knife and cut off their heads, so everyone quietly looked at the two people sitting with their eyes, and at this moment, only these two people had a way to calm Haoge's anger.

"Ahem, lord, please calm your anger, the Nanban is really hateful, but the slave feels that now he has to find a way to figure out where the Ming army has gone, and send someone to exterminate it, which is the right way." Ao Bai stood up, bowed to Hauge and said, "Otherwise, if they are allowed to harass and destroy behind us, the food route of the army will be unstable." ”

As soon as these words came out, he immediately grabbed the anxiety of Haoge's thoughts, Haoge really frowned, calmed down from the rage, and thought about it instead: "You're right, the really hateful thing is this group of Ming soldiers, this king can't wait to swallow their flesh alive!" However, Malahi said that after the gang burned the Hanzhong military rations, they fled out of the city and disappeared, and their whereabouts were unknown. ”
