Tang Qiang gave Wu Sangui a chance, but Wu Sangui insisted on one way to go to the dark, and the roads were different, and they could only compete on the battlefield.

The cliff slope is located in the west of the Han River, it is the only way for Wu Sangui to march into Dingjun Mountain, if Wu Sangui does not pass through here, then it is necessary to take twice as many roads, and take the remote path, these are not good for the march, the people and horses are better, but they can not drag a large number of baggage and grain and grass over the mountains and mountains, the ancient traffic is inconvenient, the dependence on the road, especially the official road is great, and the ancient road is not as accessible in all directions as in later generations, and there are only a few official roads and small roads, which is why most of those military divisions can guess the movement of the enemy.

Lu Haoshan's proposal to encircle the point to send reinforcements is not only a sufficient confidence, but also a decision made by the geography formed by the local traffic environment.

In fact, it is okay to use small troops in raids, it is difficult for large troops to hide their whereabouts, Tang Qiang took the lead in deploying on the cliff slope, and Wu Sangui wanted to reinforce Dingjun Mountain, so he had to pass Tang Qiang's pass first.

"General"

"General, what did the surnamed Tang say?"

"General, are you alright?"

As soon as Wu Sangui returned to the army, a group of subordinates surrounded him and greeted him with concern.

"It's okay, he just wants us to surrender." Wu Sangui said lightly: "Today is different from the past, now our family is in the hands of the Manchu Qing people, and the eldest husband is alive, even if he does not bring glory and wealth to his family, he can't bring them disasters, right?" ”

Dolgon is definitely a generation of heroes, the people's hearts have reached a state of insight, that set of rewards and punishments is worth learning from everyone, the surrender of the soldiers preferential treatment, not only in terms of salary and silver, even their families also have preferential treatment, the Manchu Qing is still outside the customs when the means are not so many, after entering the Central Plains, the north of the Yellow River is under his control, if it is a betrayal, the family will be implicated. This is called easy to get on a thief ship and easy to get off a thief ship.

Some people were a little tempted to hear Tang Qiang's persuasion to surrender, but as soon as they heard Wu Sangui's words, they were silent all of a sudden.

Xia Guoxiang said in a deep voice: "At this point, we will advance and retreat with the general. Whoever dares to betray the general, I, Xia Guoxiang, will not let him go first. ”

In Wu Sanzhu's department, Xia Guoxiang, who is both civil and military, can be regarded as the second person, Xia Guoxiang was unwilling in his early years, and he had a talent but no one appreciated it. It wasn't until he was discovered by Wu Sangui that he got ahead, he was very strategic, participated in all the important decisions of Wu Sangui, and for the benefactor who promoted him, Xia Guoxiang can be said to be grateful and loyal.

"That's it" As a son-in-law, Hu Guozhu glared at the tiger's eyes and said: "Now that we are on the same boat, we must work together and help each other in the same boat, which one dares to have two hearts." Lao Tzu chopped him up and fed him to the dogs. ”

A group of soldiers opened their mouths one after another, expressing their loyalty to Wu Sangui.

Although it was hard to find thousands of waters, blowing all the wild sand to reach the gold, Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng took a group of soldiers, and when they took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they let a group of subordinates who were unwilling to act as Manchu minions secretly leave the team, and the rest were mostly people who followed Wu Sangui with iron hearts, compared with King Qin back then, the number of troops was reduced a lot, but the people's hearts were also more aligned, and Wu Sangui also had a set of people, if history did not deviate. Like Xia Guoxiang, Hu Guozhu, Ma Bao and others, after Wu Sangui's death, they knew that they were defeated but still stubborn to the end, and they did not surrender to death. In the end, they all shed the last drop of blood for the Wu family.

Of course, these are foreign words, and history has been greatly shifted by the crossing of one person.

The soldiers under his command were so united, Wu Sangui saw it in his eyes, was happy in his heart, waved his hand and said, "Okay." Let's discuss how to fight this war, Prime Minister, what do you think? ”

Xia Guoxiang is both civil and military, and has a very strategic vision, Wu Sangui regards him as the number one think tank, and now the itinerary is blocked, Wu Sangui, who wants to perform, is too lazy to hold any more meetings in order to save time, and asks directly.

"According to the information obtained by the scouts, Tang Qiang has about 3,000 people along the way, there are not many people, but they are all troops who are proficient in cavalry and archery, all of them have firearms, and they are not easy to deal with. The middle strategy is not to grab the first credit, Ming Xiu plank road secretly crossed Chen Cang, bypassing them, but this middle strategy is not easy to implement, the intelligence system of the Sichuan army is very fast, using flying pigeons to pass the book, if you want not to alarm them and large-scale marching is difficult, but also do a lot of preparations; The next strategy is to wait for the infantry to converge and take the cliff slope in one fell swoop with the advantage of numbers. ”

It really deserves to be the number one think tank, and he thought of the upper, middle and lower three strategies in such a short time, Wu Sangui nodded frequently after listening, thought for a while, and quickly made up his mind: "At this moment, Dolgon and others are watching us from behind, Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong and others are also working hard, if we are unwilling, this is a good strategy, we will lead the snake out of the hole." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at the generals and said, "This trip is very dangerous, who is willing to go?" ”

"General, I'll go." Ma Bao was the first to ask for help.

"General, I'll go."

"General, let me go."

Guo Zhuangtu, Hu Shouliang, Guo Yunlong, Hu Guozhu and others also asked for help and took the initiative to serve as bait, although they lost their integrity for life and future, they are still excellent soldiers, and they can still face death calmly.

Their beliefs have changed, but their pride remains.

"Guozhu, you go, deal with it carefully." Wu Sangui didn't think about it, and without hesitation, he put his son-in-law in a dangerous position, which was also regarded as taking the lead, assigning the most dangerous tasks to his own people, so that no one would say anything behind his back, and no one would say anything irresponsible when assigning combat tasks.

"Yes, General, the last general will definitely live up to his mission." Hu Guozhu said with a resolute face.

Soon, the first attack began, a round of artillery sounded, ten tiger squat cannons fired together, these tiger squat cannons are not far away, the Sichuan army on the hillside can not hit, but it is not difficult to hit the temporary arrangement of the horse and other things under the hillside, soon, these obstacles are blown into pieces in the sound of artillery, when the sound of artillery stops, the horse and other things that hinder the progress have been cleared, seeing that the cleanup is completed, Hu Guozhu gave an order, and the wing composed of elite and miscellaneous soldiers who have been incorporated immediately launched an attack, more than 1,000 people formed a horse team, while urging the horse while setting fire, Although it is not as advanced as the firearms of the Sichuan army, it is also equipped with a large number of seven-eyed guns and bird guns, and the firepower should not be underestimated.

"Brothers, rush." Hu Guozhu clamped the horse's belly hard, and shouted with a roar that shook the sky.

"Rush" A group of soldiers rushed towards the cliff slope.

Seeing Wu Sangui sending people to charge, Tang Qiang showed a sneer in his eyes, and he watched coldly until the enemy entered the range of the firecracker, and then ordered: "Fight, give me a hard beating." ”

"Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

Under the order, the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time pulled the trigger, and the sound of the fire gun was like a fried bean ground for a while, and this time the new fire gun used was all with iron bullets, which shot fast, loaded fast, and had a long range and great power, in terms of performance, it was so far away that the old-fashioned fire gun was thrown a few streets away, and even the three stages of the fire could not be used to form a continuous output of firepower, and when the fire gun was fired, those who had long been prepared to beat the wood and rolling stones were also pushed down from a high place to prevent the cavalry from advancing.

Occupy a high place, this occupies the advantage of geographical advantages, the people's hearts are sharp, especially one by one well-trained, the charge Wu Sangui continued to be shot and fell to the ground, for a while, the sound of shouting and killing, the sound of firearms, arrows and screams were endless, the battle entered the fierce at the beginning, Wu Sangui saw the soldiers who kept falling, and was surprised by the firepower of the Sichuan army at the same time.

That kind of equipment is simply extravagant, and it is no wonder that only 3,000 people dare to set up a card here to block it, and it is really relied on.

"Retreat, retreat, the firepower of the Sichuan army is too fierce." In less than a quarter of an hour of charging, at least 20% of his men were damaged, Hu Guozhu's heart was so painful that his face twitched, but fortunately, this time it was just a feint to lure the Sichuan army to chase and kill, and the price paid was very large, and the play was done enough, so he ordered to retreat.

"Brothers, run for your life."

"This firearm is too fierce, let's withdraw it."

"Escape, these Sichuan troops are too strong."

Before the attack, Hu Guozhu had already made arrangements, but not many people knew the inside story, and with so many casualties and the "panic" atmosphere deliberately created by his henchmen, the army's morale collapsed for a while, and all the soldiers desperately fled for their lives, and even the soldiers under the mountain legs were also infected, and they fled desperately one by one, and the scene of the rout could not be more realistic.

"General, the enemy has fled, let's chase it."

"General, chase them, now is a good time, we will catch them up and slaughter them."

"Well, if the army is defeated, it is the best time to expand the results of the battle."

As soon as they saw Wu Sangui fleeing, the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan army who participated in the battle were overjoyed and asked for pursuit, but Tang Qiang said with a straight face: "Without the general's order, no one is allowed to attack without authorization, and those who violate military law will be dealt with." ”

"General, why?" One of the captains said with some puzzlement.

Tang Qiang said leisurely: "First, the other party's main general is Wu Sangui, although this person is spineless, but he is a general who does not deduct or break, how can he be defeated so easily, this must be a trap, and second, they want to reinforce Dingjun Mountain, they must pass through here, unless they make a detour, but with his pride, they will definitely not make a detour, just wait for him here, there is no need to risk attacking." ”

When the soldiers heard this, they suddenly realized and received their orders.

Hu Guozhu fled for more than two miles, found that Tang Qiang was not fooled, and after asking Wu Sangui, he led the army to feint again, attacked several times in a row, discounted hundreds of people, and Hu Guozhu's arm was also shot, but Tang Qiang was still calm, only defended and did not attack, and there was no way under the gritted teeth, and finally after discussion, he no longer let his subordinates die in vain, Wu Sangui ordered to camp on the mountain opposite the cliff slope, and at the same time let the troops behind him accelerate their advance.

The only way to do this is to use the strategy of Xia Guoxiang to concentrate superior forces to capture the cliff slope in one fell swoop, obviously, this will be a bloody battle. (To be continued.) )
