630, the wind and the three armies (2)
"Wu Sangui also dares to join in this fun, this time he will definitely not be able to escape!"
Tian Boguang did not have the image of a commander at all, the knife in his hand was pulled out of its sheath, and then stuffed it back, the monotonous friction sound made people sad, but he himself found it interesting.
Now that he is in a high position and has military power, he can no longer go to the battlefield to kill the enemy as he did at the beginning, which is really difficult for him who is brave and adventurous. But he also knows very well that with the rise of the new Xianghuwei and the current Huaxia Army, the war of this era has changed essentially, and the influence of personal bravery on the war has been suppressed, and it will only play a role when the white-knuckle charge is made. Under such circumstances, it is simply inappropriate for him to go to the front line of the battlefield in person.
"That's natural, the officials have long said that traitors are more hateful than thieves, if there is no traitor to lead the party, the thieves are just going around outside our China, but with the traitor leading the party, they can go deep into China to know my reality." Gu Jiaming said: "If we don't leave Wu Sangui behind this time, I'm afraid that our credit for fighting this battle will be gone." ”
"That's not cost-effective, let's accompany Jianyu Wu Sangui here, but Wang Haoran is killing people over there...... I knew that today, I shouldn't have worked hard to make meritorious service in the first place, and every move I made when I rose to this position had to be noticed by Jianyu, otherwise, which turn would Wang Haoran go north? ”
Yu Guozhen left Tian Boguang and Gu Jiaming, two fierce generals, on the front in North China, and sent both of them at the same time, in order to attract Dorgon's attention and make him mistakenly believe that Yu Guozhen was preparing to conduct a decisive battle in North China, so as to create an opportunity for Wang Haoran to land and intercept the road. From this point of view. Tian Boguang and Gu Jiaming successfully contained the main forces of Dolgon and Wu Sangui, and achieved Wang Haoran's achievements in this battle.
Everyone understands in their hearts that when this battle is over, the overall situation of the world has been decided, and what remains is some sporadic small battles. Therefore, to fulfill Wang Haoran, it requires some selfless dedication.
"Report, the enemy has collapsed!"
While the two were chatting. The Messenger came to salute excitedly and reported the latest changes on the battlefield to the two of them.
It was about four o'clock in the morning, and it was still dark. Nearly three hours have passed since Jianyu took the lead in firing artillery and provoked a decisive battle. Wu Sangui's collapse was expected by the two, but it collapsed at this time. There must be some reason behind it.
"No matter what the reason is, since Wu Sangui's department has collapsed, then the whole army will assault, except for leaving one regiment to hold the position, the rest will be exhausted. Jiaming, I'll leave the matter to you. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll keep it, you go."
Gu Jiaming didn't fight with him, and Tian Boguang returned the knife to the sheath in the dark. Saluted him, Gu Jiaming beckoned, and there was no tension in a big battle in his heart: "You guys keep an eye on this guy, don't let him really go to the battlefield and make any mistakes." The commander will let you go around without food! ”
Tian Boguang scolded with a smile, and then left.
It is true that their ammunition stock is not much, but they still have support for two days of fierce fighting, and after defeating Wu Sangui, they can get in touch with the sea and obtain ammunition supplies from the coast of Zhigu.
"Commander Gu. Why do we stay behind and let Commander Tian go, we haven't seen a single enemy. ”
A young Huaxia army who was only seventeen years old saw that Tian Boguang's people had already left, and couldn't help but ask Gu Jiaming.
"What, you want to fight?"
"That is, among my classmates, there are not many who have joined the Huaxia Army, and when I go back for the New Year this time, there will be a class reunion, and everyone will ask me what I have done in this war, do I say that I listened to the sound of artillery outside in my own camp?" That little soldier was very much loved by Gu Jiaming, in him, Gu Jiaming felt as if he had seen his original shadow, he saw Gu Jiaming asking, and he did not hide his true thoughts.
It's always good for young people to want to make meritorious contributions, Gu Jiaming smiled: "Don't worry, you can always catch the battle." This is not a day or two that can be over, Boguang is chasing now, and he will not have to rest obediently until the dawn comes. Now I order, everyone go to sleep, except for those who must be on duty, all have a good rest, and after dawn, we will take over! ”
"Commander, it turns out that you fought with this idea, you are so treacherous!" The creep screamed.
Gu Jiaming just smiled.
For Wu Sangui, Gu Jiaming's smile is his crying.
He sent out to reconnoiter Dolgon's movements, not only that group of more than a dozen people, but his men even touched Dolgon's camp, and then found from the spider trails that Dolgon's troops did not participate in the attack, but withdrew westward.
After all, it was the evacuation of more than 40,000 people, and no matter how tightly it was done, it was impossible not to leave any traces!
Therefore, Wu Sangui immediately judged that something big had happened in the north, and it was so big that Dolgon had to turn back after giving up the victory that was about to come. Moreover, Dolgon's deliberate concealment proved that this event was extremely unfavorable to them!
Since Dolgon's unkindness came first, of course he had to be unrighteous later. Wu Sangui almost without thinking, he took 10,000 people of his cronies to the north, and when he left, it didn't take long for his subordinates who came to report the battle situation and ask for orders to find something unusual, so his whole army completely collapsed.
Hearing the gunshots behind him, not only did not go away, but got closer and closer, and there was a faint sound of screaming and crying, Wu Sangui's face was gloomy. When dawn came, he finally arrived at Gukou, where in order to prevent the sailors of the Huaxia Army from entering, Kong Youde and others had set up several iron-locked pontoon bridges on the Weihe River, and also left a certain number of troops to guard. When he arrived, the defenders did not know what was going on, but they said that the friendly troops were going to cross the river, so they let him go with a grin.
Wu Sangui's face was extremely ugly, and as soon as he crossed the river, he ordered: "Tear down the bridge and take people away!" ”
When he withdrew, in order to hide, he only brought more than 10,000 cronies, and the troops in his hands were insufficient, although there were not many soldiers guarding the bridge, there were two or three thousand people, and the officers among them were still to be distinguished.
Dozens of miles away, half a day, when fleeing for his life, Wu Sangui did not run slowly. But when he arrived in Beitang, the number of troops around him was less than 6,000, and the rest were lost.
"It's time to take a breath." When he arrived in Beitang, he was far away from the battlefield, and the gunshots that were once very close had long stopped, so Wu Sangui eased his nerves and ordered the whole army to enter the town to make food.
"General, the matter ...... Is it really unacceptable? Wu Sangui was moody along the way, and his subordinates didn't dare to ask, but here, they finally spoke timidly.
Wu Sangui looked around at the generals and saw that everyone was full of sorrow, obviously, they had lost confidence in the future. If these people had not been so favored by him, they would have departed long ago, just like the deserted sergeant.
"No, Dolgon fled in the starry night, and hid it from the army, the only possibility is that something big happened in the rear, either Yu Guozhen has taken Shengjing down, or Jianyu is infighting, Fulin wants to seize Dolgon's power, and he has to turn back to clean up the situation. In my guess, the former is more likely. Wu Sangui sighed, with tears in his eyes: "Everyone, I am among the traitors who must be punished by the Huaxia Army, and I am already at a loss, you can protect me so far, you are already worthy of me, please leave and ask for peace!" ”
His words were completely different from the high-spirited people he usually had, and he was really weak. The generals next to him looked at each other, and after a while, one of them sighed and said: "Why did the general say this, the glory and wealth of all of us and others are all tied to the general." Now we still have elite soldiers in our hands, as long as we return to the Beijing Division, recruit strong warriors, and defend the Beijing Division, and then try the rest! ”
Although his words were consolation, he was also faintly disheartened, and persuaded Wu Sangui to seek peace with the Huaxia Army. In fact, over the years, many of Wu Sangui's subordinates have suggested and asked to improve relations with the Huaxia Army, but Wu Sangui refused. At this time, the old matter was brought up again, and Wu Sangui could only smile bitterly: "Ladies and gentlemen, since I was forced by thieves to enter the customs three years ago, I have sent a total of seven batches of envoys to Yu Guozhen, six of which are extremely secretive, but none of these seven batches of envoys have been able to see Yu Guozhen's face. I thought that Yu Guozhen wanted to kill chickens and monkeys, and he had to execute a traitor, as a warning to the world. And in the early years, I was young and absurd, and when I went south, I mistakenly formed bandits, which offended Yu Guozhen, but he has not forgotten some small things back then......"
When Wu Sangui said this, the tears in his eyes finally flowed out, and he choked up: "It's not a pity that I die, but I have affected you, and I offended Yu Guozhen together, that is, I want to return to my hometown as a farmer, but I am afraid that I can't." ”
On the one hand, he clarified his refuge in Jianyu and harmed the people, and downplayed his big crime, and on the other hand, he alluded to Yu Guozhen's small belly and chicken intestines that he was extremely resentful, and everyone would be guilty of it even if they wanted to take refuge in him now. Sure enough, the generals who were originally a little swaying heard this, exchanged glances one by one, and then said in unison: "General, I will wait for the matter of the loyal monarch of the king of food, and swear to be the enemy of the southern thief!" ”
Wu Sangui relaxed a little, he is now a fallen tree, if these people in front of him make a name for themselves, then even a few farmers can tie him up and sacrifice him to Yu Guozhen. Thinking of Li Zicheng's fate, Wu Sangui shuddered, and hurriedly took off his helmet: "Since this is the case, I won't hide it from you, over the years, I haven't left a way out." We can't go to Liaodong, and whether Dolgon goes back or not, he will put the responsibility for this defeat on me, and he must take our heads. But in the Hanhai, Guangwu Town, where Emperor Yongle was stationed at the beginning, although the climate is cold, it is no different from Liaodong, the water and grass are abundant, and the cattle and sheep are flocked, but now there is no strong tribe to guard. If we have a large number of people, and then we have enough gold and silver military resources in the capital division, and we can levy the people, we can seize their land to become a foundation. Yu Guozhen is to annex the Beijing Division, and he has to return to the army to clean up the small court of Jinling, I am waiting in Guangwu Town, and I am always worry-free in glory and wealth! ”
"Will ...... Lord"
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other again, they didn't expect that Wu Sangui's so-called retreat was to flee to Mobei to be a nomadic barbarian!
Wu Sangui was about to explain again, when he suddenly heard a commotion in his ears, although he had lived in the north for a long time, he was no stranger to this kind of sound, it was the whistle of a steamship!
