He has always insisted that this person will return to Nanjing after pacifying Sichuan, because the Ming Dynasty is now fighting on two fronts, Zheng Zhilong, the king of Yanping, is fighting in Taiwan, and Sichuan has just ended the war. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But I didn't expect this person to kill in Hanzhong, with a great victory of the momentum surging, in this momentum, the original Qing soldiers occupied by the Qing soldiers abandoned without a fight, Yan'an, Qingyang around the Qing soldiers were also forced to gather in Xi'an, Lintao, Gongchang, Minzhou Qing army also returned to the Hanzhong area, the Qing soldiers just occupied these places, the people's hearts have not yet been attached to the blink of an eye and become an empty, Hanzhong has long belonged to the land of the Han people, before the war started, people and a side is not on their side.

In order to deal with this sudden military action, Hong Chengchou was not unprepared at all, as early as last year after Azig was caught by the two armies of the Ming and Western armies in the Shunqing area, he was aware of whether the Ming army would use troops against the Qing Dynasty, you know, at this time, the Ming and Qing dynasties were still affected by the Qing Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty the year before last, and the Ming and Qing dynasties were not enemies, although the war was not broken.

For this reason, Hong Chengchou took Hanzhong City as the center, Xi'an as the rear base, and added heavy troops to the main roads into the Central Plains everywhere, Hanzhong Plain, which is the world of cavalry, coming and going to the people, galloping vertically and horizontally, Hong Chengchou seems to be very confident that the last strength of the Ming army will be annihilated on the land of Hanzhong, and only by defeating Wang Lanping, the Ming court in the south of the Yangtze River will immediately collapse.

Wang Lanping marched quickly, regardless of the cities abandoned by the Qing soldiers along the way, did not stay in the officials and did not comfort the people, only took money and food and left, everything should be all for the military service, only when there is really no war in the world, the common people can have a good life.

Where the Ming army passed, the people greeted each other, many people volunteered to come to provide guides and people for the army, in the end it was the official army, in the hearts of the people, military discipline is not in but prestige and legitimacy are still important, this place in Hanzhong, has been occupied by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the rich are basically extinct, truly everyone is equal, all are all mud legs, business has long withered, the advantage is that agriculture is particularly developed, there is really no shortage of food, after the Qing army has finished the conquest, the Ming army came to conquer again, and it is not without the tragic situation of hurting the muscles and bones.

Wang Lanping just stepped out of Sichuan, receiving the good news from the Han Palace, the Han princess gave birth to a daughter in the middle of the night on the first day of April, the mother and daughter were safe, Wang Lanping was a little surprised, and had never heard of it, but at this time this kind of thing came, Fang Ling said in the letter that the reason why he had not reported to the army was because he was afraid that the Han King would be distracted, Wang Lanping just shook his head and said, why not have a son.

A few days later, the Han Wangfu sent a secret report, in the letter Fang Ling said that the queen gave birth to a son on the fifth day of the fourth month, and the queen has been placed in the Rouyi Palace, no one can approach, and the child was also taken back to the Han Wangfu to raise, and claimed that the Han princess actually gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus.

Wang Lanping was overjoyed when he saw the letter, and replied to praise Fangling for doing things, asking her to work hard for a few more days, or it won't be long before the army will be in class, and at the same time told her that her long-lost mother was finally found, and sent someone to escort her to Nanjing, probably in August, and hoped that the Han Wangfu would take care of her when she arrived.

A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance...... Chunjiang is proud......

No matter what kind of verses there is, there is no way to describe Wang Lanping's mood now, the loving mother is above, the children are both complete, the ministers are obedient, half of the country is in hand, millions of troops are raised, and the world is swept away, what a pleasure to wait.

Gradually into Hanzhong, the weather is gradually not so hot, Hanzhong north by the Qinling Mountains, south of the Ba Mountain, the cold current in winter is blocked by the Qinling Mountains, the heat in summer is diluted by the high mountains, although the four seasons are obvious, but the temperature is relatively mild, and it is also the natural north-south dividing line of the Chinese land.

At the beginning of June, Wang Lanping's army crossed the Bashan Mountains, and did not encounter any decent resistance along the way, the mountainous areas were the soft underbelly of the Qing army, and Hong Chengchou also knew that fighting in the mountains could not be stopped, so it was only a symbolic delay in the advance speed of the Ming army, and bought more time for the deployment of Hanzhong.

At the beginning of July, Wang Lanping's army marched into the Hanzhong Basin, the battle of Hanzhong officially began, the first thing to stop the army from advancing was the stronghold in the south of Hanzhong, Nanzheng County, the defenders were 10,000, Wang Lanping attacked overnight with 100,000 troops, fought fiercely until the evening of the next day, trapped the city, and 10,000 Qing troops did not survive.

Subsequently, the Fifth Route Army joined forces on the banks of the Han River, with 250,000 people, building bridges and paving roads, forcibly crossing the Han River, and entering the city of Hanzhong, Wang Lanping understood that the real battle had just begun.

Sure enough, the Ming army, which had been in an offensive posture, had just crossed the Han River, and its morale was at its peak, and this was the same for everyone, even the soldiers gradually became arrogant, and they didn't take the Qing army in their eyes at all, thinking that they could fight all the way to Beijing and recover the northern country in one fell swoop.

Who knew that at this time, the 3,000 people of Zhao Zhishang, the vanguard of Zhao Zhishang, who was planning to straighten up towards Hanzhong City, were lured by the Guanning army of the Qing army Wu Sangui in the area of Lianshui Bridge to lure the enemy deeper, so that the vanguard army was completely annihilated, and none of them escaped.

At this time, Wang Lanping was in Nanzheng County, only a hundred miles away from Hanzhong City, he was furious after hearing the news, mother, the scene of Changle Mountain Pass reappeared again, he was angry, beheaded two generals in the military camp, and the commander of the military camp made Zhao Zhishang advance lightly to the enemy, and took away the title of the squire of the military department, and still remained in the army to serve, and the heavy responsibility of fifty military sticks was left for execution after the war.

As a result, the Ming army's offensive slowed down, and the army gradually set up a large camp along Hankou, and laid more than a dozen pontoon bridges.

The 250,000 men of the Ming army were stationed on the north bank of the Han River, and another was stationed in Nanzheng, and the other was stationed in Xianxian (now Hanzhong Mian County), Wang Lanping sat in Nanzheng County, and in these days, the generals of various departments gathered together to discuss the matter of breaking the enemy.

At present, the Qing army takes Hanzhong as the command center, relying on Xi'an, and has more than 200,000 garrisons around Hanzhong alone, and the surrounding areas of Xi'an City have come one after another these days, and there are nearly 200,000, and some are on the way.

And the battlefield in Hanzhong is really not conducive to the Ming army's battle, Wang Lanping seems to think that this is not Hong Chengchou's plan to lure the enemy, since the army went out of Sichuan, the progress is too smooth, but just entered the Hanzhong Plain was beaten head-on, painful experience, this victory is unpredictable.

After studying the war report, almost all the commanders of the Ming army had the same idea, the sooner they wanted to fight Hanzhong, the better, the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for the Ming army, and the grain and grass of the 250,000 army were all transferred from Sichuan, which was too troublesome, and there was no need to fight for a few more months, and the logistics alone would collapse.

And Nanjing is also deployed on two fronts at this time, the southeast Zheng family is finally exhausted, the loss of naval warfare is far greater than that of land warfare, a needle and a thread, a grain and a water have to be transported from Fujian land, and typhoons and tides are a big risk of transportation, and because the tidal period of Luermen is half a month, no matter how hard Zheng Zhilong attacks, the supply is only once in half a month, and the food and ammunition are seriously insufficient, that is, he is helpless if he wants to fight hard, which is somewhat like the worship offensive of the volunteer army in the battlefield of the modern imperial court.

Zheng Zhilong insisted on holding out in Taiwan for more than eight months, and even he himself was killed in the naval battle, but fortunately, his generals were more effective, and there was no rout, after Wang Lanping learned the news, no one in the Zheng army at this time could command except Zheng Sen, as early as the end of June, Zheng Sen had gone to the Taiwan battlefield, and at the same time brought supplies transferred by the imperial court, Fujian and Zhejiang could no longer afford such a large-scale naval battle.

Therefore, Wang Lanping can't completely count on the supply of the imperial court now, and the main logistics line still has to rely on Sichuan, but in this way, the war cannot be maintained for too long, and it may become longer and longer on the front, and the pressure on logistics will become greater and greater, and it is impossible to maintain a long-term confrontation, even if it can win in the end, Sichuan will be completely dragged down from then on.

For this reason, Wang Lanping obeyed the will of the generals, did not care about the occupation of the city, and only pinned his hopes on a decisive battle, which would determine the victory or defeat in a war, and the situation in Hanzhong and even the entire northwest in a war.

According to this strategic goal, Wang Lanping sent a partial division on the 10th day of the seventh month, with Zhao Zhishang's 50,000 soldiers and horses, bypassing Hanzhong City, advancing eastward along the Hanshui River overnight, and raiding Chenggu County.

Hong Chengchou is distressed by the sudden loss of Gucheng County, Gucheng County has a long history, according to legend, it was named after the Han Dynasty Bangu when he operated the Western Regions, and at this time it was also the main road to Xi'an in Hanzhong, this city was lost, the Qing army from Xi'an's grain road was greatly blocked, and even the reinforcements had to come around the Qinling Mountains, he was planning to send troops to recapture it, but he didn't expect Wang Lanping's war book to arrive, overjoyed, decisive battle? I really dare to think that Lao Tzu is eager to have a needlepoint battle with you against Mai Mang and the decisive battle, once and for all.

Immediately, Hong Chengchou replied, saying that he would definitely agree, and the fight of nearly a million troops in the hands of these people was like a game of chess calmly, and every time he fell in his gestures, tens of thousands of people were killed and injured.

Soon, on the third day of the seventh month, Wang Lanping issued a military order to attack on the whole front, and cleared the strongholds outside Hanzhong in turn.

On the seventh day of the seventh month of July, the two armies opened a formation outside the city of Hanzhong, and no one knew what the size of the army of nearly one million was, and no one could see the edge of the troops.

Such a big formation, Wang Lanping has never commanded, looking at the swords, guns, swords and cannons on both sides, it is really a little chaotic, too many soldiers are also a troublesome thing, the command is not moving, just standing in formation Both sides have stood for a morning, there are people shouting horses everywhere, the soldiers and horses on both sides are gathered from all directions, no one has a sneak attack, and they don't know how to sneak attack, such a large-scale battlefield, even a small mistake may bring irreversible consequences, so the commanders on both sides are cautious.

At noon, the scorching sun was in the sky, and the gap between the battlefields was nearly two miles, and the envoys from both sides also returned one after another, and a big battle could start at any time.

Wang Lanping stood on a high place to watch the battle, of course, he didn't want to see the opponent's formation clearly, he couldn't see it, and he wasn't thinking about tactics at all, on such a battlefield, it was impossible to temporarily make a strategy to deal with the enemy, and the military orders could not be issued at all, all the military orders and battle strategies were thought out before the formation, and the battle plan made was completely guessed by experience, and it had to be like this whether it worked or not.

Wang Lanping looked at the Qing army array in the distance, and couldn't see why, since he chose such a decisive battle, today he is just a spectator, 200,000 against 2780,000, the disadvantage is obvious, as long as Zhao Zhishang can block the reinforcements from Xi'an in Gucheng County, he is not afraid of this battle even if it is fought for three days and three nights.

Wang Lanping stretched out his hand, a gust of wind blew, and he said in his heart: The wind direction is unfavorable, and I am afraid that I will not be able to take advantage of the bow and arrow.

The noisy military formation finally fell silent, and there was only the sound of hunting with the battle flag rising in the wind, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The muzzles of both sides are raised upward, waiting for the order to start the battle, but no one makes the first move, whoever makes the first move will suffer, tens of thousands of archers, musketeers, cannons and other long-range weapons are the power to scare people to death, just afraid that if they rush up, 10,000 people will be beaten into a pile of corpses in an instant.

Wang Lan couldn't equalize, because a sentry came to report, saying that the 100,000 reinforcements from Xi'an had left the city three days ago, which would have been afraid that he and Zhao Zhishang had already caught fire in Gucheng County, and I didn't know what was going on in the war, but thinking about it, I also knew that Zhao Zhishang's current life must be uncomfortable, and 50,000 people in Gucheng had to withstand the crazy attack of 100,000 people, and the pressure was not ordinary.

"Stop it all over!" Wang Lanping gave a military order.

For a time, the three armies moved in unison, stepping forward, the footsteps were enough to trample everything, and the grinding sound of weapons and armor made people's ears hurt.

Boom Boom!

The artillery of the Qing army rang out, and then, the Guan Ning army took the lead and rushed out against the army.

Wang Lanping looked at Cao Dingjiao beside him, and said gently: "Cheng Wang Chengkou, in this move, General Cao, I will also hand over Yulinwei to you to command, you take your Dingyuan battalion and Yulinwei, bypass the battlefield, and only take the north gate of Hanzhong, I don't care what method you use, you must smash open the gate of Hanzhong City before dark, I am here to attract Hong Chengchou's army, and I will never let go of a soldier to put pressure on you, remember, life can be not, I only need Hanzhong City, Hanzhong is broken, these hundreds of thousands of Qing troops will be chaotic without a fight"

Cao Dingjiao had nothing to say, and there was no need to say anything at this time, maybe at this time when they were talking, hundreds of people had already fallen in a pool of blood.

"Your Majesty, the emperor's eldest aunt has arrived!" A eunuch bowed softly beside him.

Li Laixiang hurriedly stood up when he heard this, straightened his clothes, he was very respectful of this imperial aunt, he was not a descendant of the Li family, as for his original surname, it was not important, he got the imperial property laid by the Li family as a righteous son and grandson, he was lucky, and even a little grateful to Dade, and he was even more eager to be the only descendant left by Li Zicheng.
