Chapter 30: Killing Nikan
Nikan was anxious to win and make great contributions, and when he heard that Huang Qi was there, he wanted to repay the shame of being played by Huang Qi and others before, so he went crazy and wanted to start a war with Li Dingguo immediately.
So Nikan's army stepped up its march and arrived in Hengyang, and Li Dingguo marched out from steaming water. For the first time, the two armies fought.
Li Dingguo believes that this battle cannot be lost, at least a draw. When he was about to send troops, Huang Qi's subordinates looked at Li Dingguo's subordinates, and Li Dingguo's subordinates also looked at Huang Qi's subordinates, especially Li Dingguo's subordinates who were dissatisfied with Huang Qi's soldiers and attacked Guilin City faster than them.
They want to make a contribution in this battle! to show that they are better than each other. The same Huang Qi people were not to be outdone.
And so the battle began! The Qing army rushed over and engaged the Ming army in short combat.
"Kill!" The Qing soldier holding the Daguan knife came with a knife, he thought that the Ming soldiers would dodge and win with momentum first, but what he didn't expect was that the Ming soldiers did not flinch, he rose to the challenge.
"Congrench", but the Qing soldiers were shocked and retreated, and he felt the momentum of the Ming soldiers! Ming Bing's desire to win is very strong!
"Kill!" But seeing that Ming Bing's feet flew around and his body also turned up, he slashed at Qing Bing fiercely one after another. The Qing soldiers could only keep raising their knives to block, blocking him from retreating again and again.
When the Ming soldiers didn't cut again, the Qing soldiers, who had already formed inertia, still raised the Daguan knife to cut, but found that the Ming soldiers were laughing at him, and the other party did not attack, and at this time, the empty door was wide open! The time of death is also near!
"Porphyry" cold light flashed. The Qing soldiers immediately fell in a pool of blood. Ming Bing couldn't help shouting at the soldiers of Huang Qibu: "See? I've made a meritorious service! ”
And the soldiers of Huang Qibu are not bad! Two shots crossed. It's up to whoever wins first.
The sound of a "bell". The two guns collided, but the head of the Qing soldier's gun was deflected to the other side, and the gun stabbed at the Qing soldier.
Qing Bing didn't care, he flashed to the other side with his head on one side, how could he let you escape? But the spearman stuck a shot into the ground, and then he flew towards the Qing soldier like a pole vault.
A double flying kick knocked the Qing soldier to the ground, and then the spear plunged into his throat, killing him.
Nikan saw that the battle was not as he expected. On the contrary, you can't take advantage of both sides, and I can't take advantage of it.
Gushan Ezhen Bayan and Gushan Ezhen Morgen said: "General, the enemy army is brave! Don't take it lightly! ”
Nikandi was cheeky and said, "Now it's about the danger of my Qing Dynasty!" How can I hold back? Needless to say! I will personally go into battle to destroy the enemy soldiers! ”
As soon as Nikan finished speaking, he really drove a war horse, brandishing a big axe and rushing over.
No, Gushan Beizi Tunqika, Bayan and Morgen had no choice but to follow closely behind him.
Huang raised his finger and said, "General Ning Yu, look!" Nikan is out! Li Dingguo saw it clearly and said, "That's good! We'll give him some face! Due to the personal appearance of the enemy manager. Then our army will have to be defeated by his momentum! Ha Lu Ha! To do business, you have to invest some capital! ”
It was because of Nikan's sorties. Li Dingguo and Huang Qijun had not yet shown defeat, but now they are unable to stand up.
It's just that the wolf soldiers showed their bravery when they attacked Guilin, but now they are causing trouble again, because they want to destroy Nikan in one go, how can Nikan be destroyed so easily?
After the two sides collected their troops and stopped fighting, Li Dingguo was ready to ambush, in view of the fact that the wolf soldiers were somewhat difficult to command, so they were not allowed to lure the enemy for the time being, otherwise, all strategies would fail.
What Li Dingguo thought in his heart was that he and Huang Qi were at the forefront to lure Nikan's pursuit, and when the ambush soldiers were together, Feng Shuangli and Ma Jinzhong attacked at the same time, and they could encircle and gather to annihilate the Qing army, and they would be able to break the Qing army.
Nikan saw that he couldn't win at once, and that his personal attack could make the battle situation favorable, so he was heroic, thinking that he was fighting for the first time, how could he not go out in person? This time it's time to take the lead! Besides, the two groups of people that Li Dingguo wanted to come to help couldn't come, but Li Dingguo didn't know what to do, this was a good fighter that could put Li Dingguo to death.
Nikan was getting more and more excited about this, and he pursued so frantically that even the rear team could not keep up with Nikan's advance, so Nikan ignored it. Tunzika was immediately behind Nikan, and people like Bayan and others led a large army behind.
just chased Huang Qi and Li Dingguo, who were running in embarrassment. Huang Qi glanced back, and then said to Li Dingguo: "It seems that Nikan hates us very much!" Chase so quickly! ”
"Ha Lu Ha!" Li Dingguo laughed out loud and said, "He's in a hurry to go to hell!" His death is approaching, can he not be in a hurry? Li Dingguo pointed to the distance and said: "Not far away is the Yanwu Pavilion, where there are many soldiers who ambush me!" At that time, the head of Nikan, who is alone in the depths, will have to fall! ”
Huang nodded his head and said, "It's not a great achievement to just take Nikan's head, if you wipe out all these 150,000 horses, it will be even better!" ”
Li Dingguo smiled and nodded, and said, "Yes!" General Feng and General Ma are the same, and the Qing army can't be defeated if they want to! Annihilating 150,000 enemy troops, I think General Guoxiong will definitely send troops in Henan and Shanxi, and Beijing will be restored at that time! ”
When Li Dingguo and Huang Qi thought of the favorable situation in the future, they both smiled, full of anticipation.
"Don't run! Li Dingguo! Huang Qi! Dogheads for both of you! I'm going to decide! Nikan was shouting in Manchu, and of course Li Dingguo and Huang Qi couldn't understand what he was saying.
Yanwu Pavilion has arrived! Now is the time! A cannon rang out! The ambush was everywhere, and Huang Qi's 10,000 horses and wolf soldiers were responsible for cutting off their way, so that the main force of the Qing army could not come to the aid of Nikan quickly, so as to facilitate Li Dingguo and Huang Qi to attack after killing Nikan. Of course, according to Li Dingguo's battle plan, Ma Jinzhong and Feng Shuangli's men and horses will follow, and everyone will be able to kill and destroy Nikan and his 150,000 army!
Nikan was trapped, and Li Dingguo took Nikan directly and shouted: "Nikan." Come on! Nikan was looking at Li Dingguo. He was also overjoyed. He also drove his mount to Nikan, and the two men began to fight.
Li Dingguo held a big knife in his hand and shouted: "It's a good time!" Li Dingguo is very familiar with Nikan's routine. Huang Qi was next to him, as long as Li Dingguo was in any danger, he would immediately reach out to save Li Dingguo.
But no! Li Dingguo shouted, he cut Nikan in half with a single sword, and Nikan fell off the horse.
Nikan died. Then the army that came behind was leaderless, and there was no other way than to flee all the way.
Li Dingguo was excited, according to the original plan, Feng Shuangli and Ma Jinzhong's men and horses would be able to defeat the enemy, but they couldn't see their killing, it didn't make sense! Supposedly, they should have appeared, why haven't they arrived yet?
There is only one possibility. They didn't come! What's going on! That's right! Sun Kewang has never wanted Li Dingguo to have greater achievements, and Feng Shuangli and others have been restrained by Sun Kewang. If Sun Kewang ordered Feng Shuangli and them to retreat, Feng Shuangli would not dare to say no.
It seems that once Feng Shuangli receives Sun Kewang's order and he retreats, then Ma Jinzhong will also retreat with him.
It's a pity, it's a pity! If everyone can advance and retreat together, they can wipe out a large number of Manchu troops, and the Manchu Qing has lost these 150,000 horses, which is a very heavy blow to him! What a pity! Falling short! It's all Sun Kewang who doesn't take the overall situation as a serious harm!
Even if Li Dingguo was unhappy and dissatisfied in his heart, there was nothing he could do.
He asked people to draw portraits of Kong Youde and Nikan, and published them in Yuechu, "Lubu Jiejie" to show his martial might.
At this time, Huang Qi said goodbye to Li Dingguo, because he wanted to return to Zhang Biwu's army to listen to Zhang Biwu's command.
As soon as Li Dingguo saw that Huang Qi was leaving, he was really reluctant, although the five thousand wolf soldiers were still under his tent and listened to his dispatch, but without Huang Qi's 10,000 elites, his strength was greatly reduced!
No matter how reluctant you are, what can you do? There is no such thing as a feast.
Huang Qi led the men back to Zhang Biwu, and he was communicating with Zhang Biwu. Zhang Biwu looked at Huang Qi and was very satisfied, knowing that he had achieved a brilliant victory with Li Dingguo's battle.
Zhang Biwu has prepared 30,000 horses, and he will march east at any time, although he has sent 20,000 troops to support Shaanxi, he does not want to contain more troops here.
In order to make Li Dingguo's territory more recoverable, he had to advance to Beijing, the heart of the Manchus, even if his attack was not necessarily useful.
Hong Chengchou has taken over the Qing army with full authority, and under his control, it is not easy for Li Dingguo to develop something.
Zhang Biwu said to Huang Qi and 10,000 soldiers: "Would you like to go to Beijing with me?" The reason why Zhang Biwu asked this is that they have been fighting with Li Dingguo for a long time, and they are afraid that they will be too tired and homesick, so let them stay!
They replied to Zhang Biwu like this: "Lord, we are not tired! We are willing to follow the Lord's public work again! ”
Huang Qi also saluted: "Lord, let's continue the expedition!" When we followed Li Dingguo, we made great contributions because the Lord would be Li Dingguo, and we had to take into account the unity, so everyone couldn't do a good job of killing it, and gave the credit to Li Dingguo's soldiers! For this reason, the soldiers are full of breath! I can't wait to vent it all! Now, please let us join us! Let's kill for a while and vent our grievances! ”
Zhang Biwu was so happy, since they were all willing to fight, how could there be any reason not to agree? Anyway, these 10,000 people are the elite of his elite!
Zhang Biwu is nod, he took 40,000 people to Beijing, of course Zhang Biwu will not advance towards Juyong Pass, but unlike Li Zicheng, the Ming army surrendered all the way, if he sent troops to Juyong Pass, he would be subject to Jianguan.
Therefore, what Zhang Biwu wanted was to set off from Taiyuan first and set off to Jingcheng with soldiers, and Zhending Mansion would bear the brunt! Jingcheng is an ancient battlefield where Han Xin fought against the water, thus defeating the Zhao army, which was several times his size, and finally destroying the Zhao state.
The first thing Zhang Biwu had to face was the Manchu stronghold in Shanxi, the Qing army guarding the Niangzi Pass. This Qing army was commanded by Luo Luohong, the king of Doroyanxi.
Niangzi Pass is opposite to the Jing Cheng Pass across the mountain, the same is a military important place, choke the Taihang Mountain Jing Cheng Pass, one of the few passages between Shanxi and Hebei, whether it is to protect Shanxi, or to ensure the safety of Hebei, Niangzi Pass plays an important role.
Zhang Biwu has always wanted to put Niangziguan within the scope of his power to prevent the Qing army from threatening Shanxi.
Luo Luohong is Yue Tuo's second son, Zhang Biwu thought of luring him out, so he sent troops to insult him many times, saying how he killed Yue Tuo in Jinan City before, and how miserable Yue Tuo's death was.
Luo Luohong was very angry at the head of the city! He clenched his fists tightly, and as long as he thought of his father's tragic death, he could not bear it! If you can't take revenge on your father, how can you talk about standing between heaven and earth?
Therefore, Luo Luohong wanted to go down to the city again and again to deal with the battle, but Tulai in the city, as an old minister, he repeatedly persuaded Luo Luohong not to send troops, and Dolgon once gave Luo Luohong a death order, as long as he could hold on for two months, even if the Niangzi Pass was lost, Luo Luohong and others had also made great contributions, and they would not be held accountable!
Dolgon was afraid that Luo Luohong would not be able to obey the command when he was young, so he stipulated that he would go to war, and Luo Luohong had no right to fight without the consent of Tulai.
Luo Luohong can't fight if he wants to, he can only endure it, and he has to endure it if he can't bear it. At this time, there was indeed news that Dolgon had been wary of Zhang Biwu taking advantage of Li Dingguo's success in the south to raise troops.
After all, Nikan was killed, and the Manchus were greatly shaken! As soon as they heard Li Dingguo's name, they were trembling, this Li Dingguo is really amazing! There is Li Dingguo in the south and Zhang Biwu in the north, it seems that in this case, why should the Manchus unify the world?
As Dolgon worried, Zhang Biwu still sent troops, and the soldiers sent to Niangzi Pass, although Luo Luohong's ability in Niangzi Pass is good, but compared with Zhang Biwu, it is far worse, and Luo Luohong and Zhang Biwu have a grudge against their father, I am afraid that Luo Luohong will not be able to bear it, once it attacks, then, it is in great danger of destruction.
Dolgon went quickly, and he asked He Luohui to lead a group of men and horses to set off first, as long as he could defeat the enemy army and reach Niangzi Pass, Niangzi Pass could be defended.
Dolgon personally went out, Zhang Biwu knew it in his chest, and he knew that if the Niangzi Pass was only guarded by Luo Luohong, this pass would have been broken a long time ago.
If there is a Turai in Niangzi Pass, it will not be easy for Zhang Biwu to capture Niangzi Pass! (To be continued......)
