Chapter 64: Ambush (II)
The Qing army has already chased the advance to the valley. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing that the Qing army's advance had passed through the valley, the Marquis of Guangchang was Gao Wengui, and the Marquis of Wujing Wang Guoxi waited for Li Dingguo to send a signal, and then rushed out together to intercept and kill the Qing army.
Doni was riding on horseback, fantasizing that after defeating the Great Western Army and capturing the leader of the rebels, Li Dingguo, he should also be able to make a ******** at that time.
Suddenly, his subordinates shouted, "General, there is a Ming Dynasty official who asks to see you!" ”
It's not here to surrender yet!
Since the occupation of Guizhou, so-called Ming Dynasty officials have come to surrender every day.
Doni is not interested in dealing with this, he wants to catch Li Dingguo, a big fish!
Doni waved his hand impatiently and said, "Let Wu Sangui go and meet you!" ”
After saying that, Doni and his men continued to chase the "deserters" of the Great Western Army.
Riding on horseback, Wu Sangui looked at the Ming Dynasty official who asked to see him, and said, "It's you who ask to see!" Say what's the matter! ”
Wu Sangui waited for this person to kneel down and say that he wanted to take refuge, and then he could follow the process to appease him and send him away.
Wu Sangui had already thought of his words, but he didn't expect the person who asked to see him to speak, "You are already in a catastrophe, and you are afraid that there will be no place to bury you!" ”
When Wu Sangui just wanted to speak, he suddenly came back to his senses and shouted, "What? What did you say? What catastrophe is coming? “
Seeing Wu Sangui's surprised and anxious look, the one looked proud, but he was silent and didn't continue to speak.
Wu Sangui hurriedly rolled off the horse and said respectfully, "The eldest uncle was rude before, and asked Mr. to atone for his sins." Dare to ask Mr. Honorable Surname? “
The man raised his head and said, "Ming Guanglu Temple Shaoqing Lu Guisheng! “
Wu Sangui arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be Mr. Lu, who has admired his name for a long time, and when I see it today, it is really a great fortune for the eldest uncle." When the gentleman comes at this time, he will have some advice. Please also ask for your advice. ”
Lu Guisheng saw that Wu Sangui had made enough gestures, and he also knew that it was enough to stop, otherwise even if he made great contributions today, he would inevitably be hated by Wu Sangui in the future.
Lu Guisheng also arched his hand and said: "General Wu is also a veteran, don't you hear the truth that if you don't enter the forest, don't chase after the poor!" ”
Hearing Lu Guisheng's prompt, when he thought of the current terrain, Wu Sangui said in horror: "Could it be that Li Dingguo has set up an ambush here!" ”
Lu Guisheng nodded and said, "Yes, Li Dingguo has already set up an ambush here, just waiting for you to enter the net!" ”
Lu Guisheng briefly explained Li Dingguo's plan.
Wu Sangui was shocked when he heard this, "It's not good, hurry, send someone to tell the general!" ”
At the same time as Wu Sangui sent a message to Doni, he ordered the Qing army, which had entered the valley, to retreat and search for ambushes in the grass and trees beside the road.
In this search, sure enough, many soldiers of the Great Western Army were found in the grass and trees.
Seeing that the Qing army had already discovered the ambush.
Gao Wengui, Marquis of Guangchang, had no choice but to order the cannon to be fired;
Hearing the sound of artillery, the Great Western Army behind the valley fired its cannons and rushed into the enemy.
I could only hear a loud shout, and there was a loud bang on the cliffs on both sides, and countless rolling logs and stones were thrown down overwhelmingly.
The Qing soldiers panicked for a while and dodged one after another, but the mountain road was narrow, and there was nowhere to dodge.
The whole team was in a mess, and even if Wu Sangui and other generals shouted hoarsely, it was useless.
Immediately after that, the arrows on the mountain rained down on the heads of the Qing soldiers, and countless Qing soldiers fell to the ground with arrows.
The mines ignited by the letter fire burst with a bang, killing countless Qing soldiers.
Under a series of attacks, the Qing army ran like headless flies, and many Qing soldiers were trampled to death by themselves.
The commander of the Qing army, An Yuanjing, and the general of the Kou Dynasty, Doni, were completely stunned.
A moment ago, he fantasized that he could capture Li Dingguo and make great contributions.
In the blink of an eye, he was ambushed and his life was in danger.
This drastic change made Doni completely distracted, and he didn't know what to do now without experiencing any battles, let alone commanding a large army!
Afraid that something would happen to Doni, Wu Sangui also rushed over with his own soldiers at this time.
Seeing that Doni was still stupidly riding on horseback, Wu Sangui dragged him off the horse.
At this time, I was still on horseback, because I didn't die fast enough!
Wu Sangui dragged down Doni and shouted loudly: "General, withdraw your troops quickly, otherwise we will definitely die!" ”
Seeing Wu Sangui, Doni wanted to find the backbone of the main heart, and hurriedly shouted: "Yes, yes, kill it quickly!" ”
Doni completely handed over the command of the army to Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui drew his sword and shouted loudly, "There is no way forward, if you don't fight to the death, there will be no way out." Kill me with all the generals! ”
Under Wu Sangui's order, the Qing army desperately killed outward in order to survive.
Li Dingguo sat on the top of Shanfu, heard that the order of the trumpets and artillery was wrong, knew that the situation had changed, and hurriedly rushed to reinforcements with the rear army.
The Qing army did not completely enter the valley, and many Qing soldiers were still outside the valley, and the Great Western Army could not completely block the valley mouth.
The Great Western Army occupies a favorable position and has high morale.
The Qing army had a numerical advantage.
The two sides engaged in a thrilling battle near Taniguchi.
The Qing generals Gushan Ezhen Shalib and others were killed, and the Ming generals Dou Mingming and others were also killed.
Leaving behind the corpses of forty or fifty thousand Qing soldiers, Wu Sangui escorted Doni out of the valley.
Due to Lu Guisheng's rebellion and informant, the ambush deployed by Li Dingguo failed to achieve the desired effect, and while the Qing army was defeated, the casualties of the Great Western Army were also heavy, and the original less than 20,000 soldiers and horses were now less than 10,000 soldiers and horses.
The soldiers suffered serious losses, and Li Dingguo was unable to take advantage of this opportunity to regain the lost territory, so he could only order the Dingshuo general Wu Sheng to break off and collect the rout, and he went to Kunming with the remnants of the army.
Wu Sangui and Doni fled back to Simao Mansion with the defeated soldiers, looking at the 100,000 troops before departure, and now there are less than 50,000 left.
In particular, the most important cavalry of the 20,000 Eight Banners suffered five or six thousand casualties.
Doni didn't know how angry Emperor Shunzhi would be when he knew the result.
Thinking of his gloomy future in the future, Doni returned to her room and couldn't help but cry loudly, drinking all day long.
After seeing the fiasco, Doni would only hide in the room to escape, and Wu Sangui was contemptful.
The commander didn't care about anything, and Wu Sangui had to deal with the aftermath by himself, treating the wounded and sick, pacifying the soldiers, rearranging the defensive line, and sending people to report to Hong Chengchou and Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty.
If it weren't for Lu Guisheng coming to Gaomi, I was afraid that all of my people would have died and had no place to be buried.
Wu Sangui also asked for credit for him in the recital.
In order to set an example, the Qing Dynasty rewarded Lu Guisheng and rewarded him with an official position in Pingle Mansion, Guangxi. (To be continued.) )
