The whole Central Plains is like a pot that is close to the boiling point, and the slightest spark will make this "pot" tumble up and down, when the watchtower in Sichuan shocked Dolgon, so he no longer chose to escape, and began to face it positively. ∷

War is the most money-burning game in the world, just like a bottomless pit, constantly devouring social resources, wealth, economic development and the lives of the military and civilians, as the old saying goes, "kill a thousand enemies, lose eight hundred", that is, the victorious side will also face the tragedy of parents who have lost their beloved sons, wives and sons and daughters who have lost their husbands, and Sichuan and the Manchu Qing Dynasty cannot afford this kind of game.

These two forces with the best chance to win the world have their own unspeakable secrets: no matter how elite the Manchu Eight Banners are, they are always limited by the number of people, and they are also invisibly excluded from the Central Plains; Sichuan is well prepared, but in the face of the bitterness of the away battle, no matter how well-trained the soldiers are, they cannot reach the level of not eating the fireworks of the world, and they have to eat, drink and Lazar every day, both hope for a quick victory, and under the stimulation of the new lookout, a fateful decisive battle is about to begin.

Dolgon is a practical person, after the first battle of Goutougang, when he realized that the first war was inevitable, he did not escape, but actively faced, dispatched troops, and no longer prepared for a protracted war, that is, the elite soldiers and fierce generals who guarded Tongguan were also drawn out to assemble in Hanzhong, and the Han Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners were all dispatched, serving as pioneers and cannon fodder at any time.

Those soldiers' salaries and rewards are not used to support idlers, being a soldier is to sell their lives, the Manchu Qing also has a complete reward and punishment system, and it will also win people's hearts on weekdays, and those soldiers of the Han Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners are also willing to be used by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in a word, they are branded with rebellion, their hands are stained with the blood of their compatriots, and they are charged with treason for etreason, and there is no way out, they can only break the jar and fall, and one road goes to the black.

In order to deal with the most powerful and cunning enemies they encountered after entering the customs, the Manchu nobles showed great cohesion and determination. With the courage of entering the customs that day, he gathered most of his troops with the method of breaking the axe and sinking the boat, and for this hard battle, Dolgon ordered to temporarily give up or weaken the control of some places and concentrate on dealing with the Sichuan army.

Dolgon made up his mind, and the Manchu nobles living in Beijing were not idle, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang personally led a condolence delegation to treat the army, soothe people's hearts and boost morale, they knew very well that their future and destiny were tied to this battle, and victory would lead to the Manchu king. For the sake of the Manchu Dynasty, Empress Xiaozhuang did not shy away from living in the Hanzhong Yaya after arriving in Hanzhong, and encouraged Dolgon to serve the Qing Dynasty more attentively with her perfect body.

Regarding the actions of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Lu Haoshan pretended not to know, and did whatever he should do on weekdays, and after being harassed several times when he wanted to build a watchtower, he no longer insisted, and sent his subordinates out to constantly inspect and provoke. From time to time, Hong Chengchou on Dingjun Mountain bombarded a few rounds of artillery to relieve boredom, in addition, the headquarters of Wujiawan significantly strengthened the guard, not only built a lot of trenches. In order to prevent the fine work and assassins, it is also listed as a forbidden area, and even the soldiers of the Sichuan army cannot enter casually.

The safety of the primary person is naturally the first place, and it is understandable that Lu Haoshan listed Wujiawan as a forbidden area. However, Lu Haoshan did not move for a long time, and sat back and watched the Manchu Qing Dynasty keep deploying troops and generals without actual action, which many soldiers could not understand. Obviously, it could be broken one by one while its foothold was undecided, but Lu Haoshan did not do so.

Is it possible, abandon the strengths and learn the weaknesses, and want to confront the Manchus head-on?

"My lord, we can obviously attack them, but now let them keep deploying troops and miss the opportunity to attack, isn't this too wasted opportunity?" Finally found an opportunity, Zhang Rui asked with a puzzled expression.

I wanted to say that it was too stupid, but I couldn't say it when the words came out of my mouth, so I couldn't criticize my own general for being stupid in person, I was looking for abuse.

Lu Haoshan had already guessed that his subordinates would ask this question, and said lightly: "Don't waste it, there are opportunities at any time, have you heard of how Cao Cao conquered Xiliang during the Three Kingdoms?" ”

"Beat the drum heavily, advance slowly, give time Xiliang to concentrate his troops and then eliminate them in one fell swoop" Speaking of this, Zhang Rui suddenly realized: "It turns out that the adults want to follow Cao Cao's strategy and do it once and for all." ”

After that, he said with some worry: "But general, you often teach us the normal state of impermanence and soldiers, Cao Cao allowed the Xiliang army to assemble, that was his famous generals like clouds, and the strength of the army also has an absolute advantage, and now the situation is different, our army is also at a disadvantage in terms of the number of personnel, according to the detailed report, the combined strength of the Manchu Eight Banners, the Han Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners has been close to 400,000

Speaking of the back, Zhang Rui is worried and resentful.

The worry is that there are more and more enemies, and the pressure on the Sichuan army is getting bigger and bigger, I don't know if I can cope with it, and I complain that Lu Haoshan restricts his military operations.

Lu Haoshan opened his mouth to say something, but he held back halfway through, patted Zhang Rui's shoulder and said, "Okay, the official knows what he knows, you do your part, well, don't worry, Dolgon is preparing, and the official is also preparing." ”

The last sentence seemed to be said by comforting his subordinates, although Zhang Rui didn't understand what it meant, but when he saw that his adult was so confident, he didn't say it, but he felt that the smile on his adult's lips was getting weirder and weirder.

With the war imminent, the atmosphere on both sides was very tense, and both Lu Haoshan and Duo Legon were preparing for the battle, and there was one point that could not be ignored: that is, the logistics and transportation of both sides were suddenly busy, especially in Sichuan, and sometimes they lit torches and hurried away overnight.

This situation lasted until late August, until the Qing army was assembled: Dolgon gathered more than 400,000 troops in the Hanzhong area, including 80,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Dynasty, which was already the limit for a small clan with a population of less than one million, because Laowo, the capital, and all important passes had to be stationed to prevent fires at the back gates.

In order to cope with the shortage of manpower, Dolgon waved his pen, and some of the soldiers of the Eight Banners who behaved well and listened to the obedient "Ahha" or Han Eight Banners were converted into "noble" banners, and in order to encourage morale, Dolgon also promoted officials and knights in a big way, and there was an endless stream of eunuchs and officials who proclaimed the decree from the capital to the Hanzhong Road, and at most 12 people were knighted a day.

In a desperate gamble, the Manchu aristocracy can be said to have exhausted all means. ‘

On August 28th, according to the old yellow calendar, it is advisable to go out, get married, Najib, and build a house, which can be said to be an auspicious day of the zodiac, and Dolgon chose to swear on this day to go west.

Outside the gate of Hanzhong City, there are many swords and guns, the guard of honor is solemn, the columns of troops are arranged neatly, the Manchu nobles can gather together, such as the Empress Dowager of Kaozhuang, the Prince Daishan, the regent Dorji, the Prince of Ying Azig, the King of Pingxi Wu Sangui, the King of Pingnan Shang Kexi, the King of Jingnan Geng Jingzhong, the Fushun Forehead Li Yongfang, the Han Yellow Flag, the Han Zheng Yellow Banner Two Banners Gushan Ezhen Ma Guangyuan and so on, their purpose here is not sightseeing, but to prepare to compete with the Sichuan army.

The oath meeting is very simple, it is to analyze the form, list the crimes of the Sichuan army, promise rich rewards, encourage the soldiers to move forward bravely, a number of high-level people took turns to speak, that is, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang also made an exception to the stage to encourage the soldiers to fight for the Qing Dynasty, and finally, Dolgon received the imperial sword that symbolized power from the hands of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and announced the official crusade against the Sichuan rebels.

The war had already begun, and the war had just begun, and Dolgon gave an order, and the general officially marched to Dingjun Mountain.

Dolgon led his troops to divide into three routes, marched towards Dingjun Mountain, crossed the high mountains, crossed the Hanshui, and went all the way smoothly until he came to the cliff slope, that is, the cliff slope where Tang Qiang sniped Wu Sangui, and was the first line of defense set by the Sichuan army, because it was almost dark when he came here, and the forward troops did not attack at the first time, but camped on a flat land twenty miles away from the cliff slope.

The night was unexpectedly calm, the Sichuan army did not attack and the Qing army did not sneak attack, of course, both armies did a good job of preventing sneak attacks.

Early the next morning, Tang Qiang, who was in charge of defending the cliff slope, and Li Dingguo, who had just joined the company, were awakened by the sound of a call:

"The Sichuan army on the hillside listens, if it's a man, he will come alone."

"All of them rely on firearms to show off their might, and if they don't have firearms, they are a rice bucket."

"Listen to the Sichuan dog on the mountain, my general said, do you dare to come out alone?"

"Hahaha, there are no men in Sichuan who are standing and peeing, come one."

Tang Qiang and Li Dingguo looked down, only to see that the Qing army was lined up at the foot of the mountain early in the morning, one by one loudly and irritablely, there was a young general wearing a black mountain armor standing in front of the formation on horseback, only to see that he was tall, his face was cold, his hands were clasped in front of his chest, and the black steed had a spear stuck in his back, and he looked at the Sichuan army on the hillside with a provocative face, and his eyes showed disdain.

"Didn't you say that the morale of the Qing army was low, and when they saw us, they changed their color? Why are you so bold? Tang Qiang said with some confusion.

Li Dingguo sneered: "This is the cunning of Dolgon, since we went out of Sichuan, these months and the Qing army has fought no less than a hundred battles, although it has the upper hand, but the opponents are mostly small characters or not important figures, like Dolgon and Azig brothers, they have never made a move, these two people have an invincible myth in the Qing army, they have not been defeated, how others lose can not shake their reputation, this time Dolgon personally dispatched, naturally gave those soldiers a great encouragement, And the low morale was swept away. ”

It turns out that this is the case, it is really cunning enough, no wonder he has not taken action in person, he has suffered so many times, and he is so calm when he sees the low morale, he is really scheming, this Dolgon is really the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Qing Army, he is not here The morale is so high, if he is here, it is estimated that these people will be crazy.

Li Dingguo looked at the young general below and asked loudly, "Who is coming?" (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and faster!)
