Chapter 0233: The confrontation between the two sides of the strait in Fotu Pass
In a desperate situation, people will always burst out with an endless desire to survive.
The leaders of the various forces in Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong and Zeng Ying, died so tragically, and the commander of the Qing army, Hao Ge, could not avoid it.
Therefore, Yang Zhan was also a little worried about Qin Zuoming, after all, he was the biggest leader in Sichuan and Shu.
Maybe it's not just the biggest head of Sichuan and Shu.
Therefore, Yang Zhan, as the other leader, naturally had palpitations, if he hadn't met Qin Zuoming, he would have encountered the Hongmen Banquet and be killed in the future.
It doesn't mean anything else, who let you rob Zhang Xianzhong's wealth and make the whole Sichuan rich flowing oil!
Almost all the princes can eat the inheritance of the rest of the princes and continue to grow.
Since the Qing army entered the customs, almost all of them have been on the road of picking peaches.
The internal forces of the Ming Dynasty have been fighting non-stop, and they have resolutely implemented the strategy of fighting outside and securing the inside.
If it hadn't been for this development, Dorgon would not have thought that occupying the place north of the Yellow River would be the greatest victory.
As a result, I never expected that Daming would give up the whole world!
Qin Zuoming pointed to the surrounding terrain: "Then bury mines around Xichong City, and the dog Tartar Luo Luohun dares to lead people to break through in the middle of the night, so he will blow him up first." ”
Liu Zhiyuan and Zu Zerun glanced at each other, and Xin Yu did not choose to break through with Luo Luohun at night, otherwise they would have to die if they stepped on a mine in the dark.
Thankfully!
Liu Zhiyuan was a little lucky, he didn't die last time he followed Yan Yechen into Sichuan, otherwise if he came back this time, he would definitely die in Sichuan.
The most important thing is that if this group of Qing troops all folded in Sichuan and Shu, they would be safer.
For no one will go back to Dolgon and tell them that they have really surrendered.
Qin Zuoming pointed to the back and said, "As for the trench, I have already ordered someone to dig one, and the second one is about to be closed."
They didn't wait for me to use Haoge to fish Wu Sangui, they wanted to run, but there was no door. ”
"Very good."
Yang Zhan touched his beard with satisfaction, the method of attacking the city, the first thing is to surround it.
The Qing army in the city wanted to escape by taking advantage of the night, first taking their lives to wade through the mines, and then digging through the two trenches.
Fotu Pass on the other side.
Wu Sangui had just received the cars that were sent along the road, which were full of the heads of the Ming officials and soldiers.
Haoge's plan, he knew, this is to kill those stubborn Ming soldiers to see.
For the lives of these Han people, they, a group of high-ranking Manchurian nobles, didn't care at all.
It doesn't matter if you're here to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, if you say kill you, you'll be killed.
In their eyes, minions are not even as valuable as livestock, and Wu Sangui looked at the head of the former camp, and he was already numb.
For now, he can only kill more people from the old camp in order to keep his glory and wealth in the Qing Dynasty, as well as his hard-won trust.
But this is not the latest news, the latest news is that Qin Zuoming led a large army to besiege Xichong.
It's just that one cart marches slowly, and the other rides a horse, and when it catches up, it is on its front and back feet.
Hauge was besieged!
"This Buddha Tuguan should be beaten, but it still has to be beaten." Wu Sangui didn't want to fold his henchmen into it.
"King Pingxi's words are true, but I'm afraid it's hard for the general to explain."
Li Guohan's thought was that General Haoge was passively defending, and he couldn't hold it at all.
Let's not mention that our own lack of experience in defending the city, just Qin Zuoming's artillery, I think that these Tartars from outside the Guan, if they want to show their bravery, they don't have a chance to show it.
Wu Sangui did not receive a clear letter from Hauge asking for help, and he did not want to go back in a hurry, so as not to be looked down upon by those Manchurians.
All in all, although Wu Sangui was submissive on the outside, he had other plans in his heart, otherwise he would not have recruited all walks of Sichuan and Shu through his own reputation first.
However, Zeng Ying died, and I thought that the rest of the Sichuan army was holding the handle, but as a result, I encountered a problem here in Li Harizi.
"We received an order from the general to attack Fotu Pass, and if we rush back, I'm afraid we will miss the battle."
Wu Sangui did not directly reject Li Guohan's words, and just talked about the matter.
"King Pingxi, you don't know Qin Zuoming." Li Guohan sighed: "What do you think of the bravery of the first Batu Lu Aobai in the Qing Dynasty?" ”
"It's not low."
Wu Sangui is clear about the combat effectiveness of the Qing army, otherwise it would be in vain that his family has been a border army for so many years, fighting against the Tartars.
In view of today's situation, it is only a matter of time before the Qing army takes the entire Central Plains, and the remnants of the Ming Dynasty are not yet fighting for the position of emperor internally.
If this situation continues, it will surely perish.
In particular, the places occupied by the remnants of the Ming Dynasty are all deep mountains and old forests, and the population is not much, so wealth is not at all.
In the long run, they simply do not have the capital to fight back from the south to the north.
Do you really think they are still Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang?
Wu Sangui is not the Ming Emperor who looks down on the troubled Nanming, if he has one-tenth of Taizu, he will not be run over by the Qing army all the way to the deep mountains and old forests.
When Wu Sangui was thinking about it, Li Guohan also spoke: "Yes, Aobai's bravery is naturally not low, but he was beaten into a waste by Qin Zuoming."
If the general was seized by him, he might be killed with one shot. ”
"Sss Wu Sangui came back to his senses: "It shouldn't be, right?" ”
Anyway, the leaders of various forces in central Sichuan have been sniped one after another recently, which is really a bit too much of a coincidence.
Then Wu Sangui said to himself: "At the beginning, Ao Bai and the others were convinced of Yan Yechen's strategy of sneaking up on Guangyuan, but they were calculated to death by Qin Zuoming.
Now that Qin Zuoming is besieging Xichong, the purpose of the plan is not the Qing army at all, but us who hurried back. ”
Li Guohan thought about it, it really made sense.
"In order to avoid being attacked by Qin Zuoming in front and back, we should quickly conquer Fotu Pass, besides, Qin Zuoming besieged Xichong, and there was Nikan's artillery army behind him, so he didn't dare to act rashly."
Wu Sangui set the overall tone, in short, he couldn't easily return the aid.
The number of Qing troops entering Sichuan was already at a slight disadvantage compared with Qin Zuoming's.
However, in order to quickly expand the results of the war, as well as the internal open and secret fighting, Haoge stubbornly split the Qing army into three routes.
What Wu Sangui didn't know was that Nikana had been wiped out all the way, Hauge was dead, and the rest of the Qing army in the city planned to take advantage of the cover of night to prepare to break through.
There are only orphans like Wu Sangui left, who are still here with confidence to conquer the Fotu Pass.
When the floating map was closed, Lei Datou's face was solemn.
It's getting dark this day, Lao Jiu shouldn't want to launch a night attack, right?
In this way, it is not conducive to the use of artillery firearms of his corporaries.
"The Eight Masters." Li Harizi sighed and said: "If General Qin doesn't come to his aid again, I'm afraid that my corporal will not be able to hold this Futu Pass." ”
After all, the Lord is about to die, and it has been broken once, plus the inner ghosts set fire to each other and kill each other, and there are not a few people who are wary of each other internally.
Even if he and Yu Dahai were united, it would not be able to boost morale.
After all, Zeng Ying is famous there, and it is not something that any of them can replace.
"Why are you in a hurry?"
Although Lei Datou was anxious in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he slowly sorted out the cigarettes, and asked others to take out a fire fold for him to light a cigarette, and took a deep breath.
After exhaling the smoke, Lei Datou looked at the slow-flowing Yangtze River: "Lao Jiu, he is doing things, so you need to worry about it?" ”
Li Zhanchun and Yu Dahai did not refute it, after all, their father-in-law Zeng Ying also lamented that the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, even if Zeng Ying was not very old.
"Li Harrier, you have experienced Lao Jiu at the beginning, how he escaped from the tens of thousands of troops step by step.
And I watched how he expanded Qingfeng Village from a small size to the entire Sichuan and Shu step by step, and no one dared to mess with him! ”
"Zhang Xianzhong didn't leave the wealth of plundered Chengdu behind, and he fled unwillingly, but he was beaten to death by the Qing court!"
"Hmm."
Li Harrier nodded in agreement, because with the things of his stepfather Zeng Yingyi, it makes no difference to Qin Zuoming.
The only difference is that Qin Zuoming has risen fast enough and is fearful enough.
The more Lei Datou spoke, the more high-spirited he became: "Hauge, what is he? Do you believe it? Maybe in a few days, Lao Jiu will be able to kill Haoge. ”
"That's a bit of a stretch, isn't it?"
Yu Dahai knows Qin Zuoming, but Haoge is not a vegetarian, otherwise he can shoot Zhang Xianzhong with one arrow?
Zhang Xianzhong's thief is really a headache.
Lei Datou was worried before, but after he finished speaking, he suddenly became enlightened.
He felt that Lao Jiutie had some idea, just because he wanted to avoid the leakage of news, so as to startle the snake.
Just as a few people were looking down at the river, a small boat approached the side of Fotu Pass at a rapid pace.
On the bow of the boat is a flag with a panda painted on it.
"Open and close the door." Lei Datou hurriedly ordered.
The man jumped ashore and was met by a group of soldiers stationed on the shore.
All the ships stay on this side and need to be guarded.
"But Lao Jiu, he has news?" Lei Datou grabbed the battlements of the city wall and shouted loudly.
"Yes."
The messenger quickly entered the pass and took out Qin Zuoming's letter.
Lei Datou first carefully checked the seal and wax mark, and saw that there was no trace of unpacking, so he quickly opened it.
Then his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Show me." Li Harrier hurriedly snatched the letter, looked at it carefully, then thought for a while, and said sideways: "I should not be literate!" ”
"You just remembered?"
Yu Dahai almost thought that his old brother was secretly literate, so he went up and snatched the letter from Lei Datou.
"If you don't know how to read, what are you robbing!" Lei Datou smiled and took the letter paper, and immediately said, "Immediately beat the drum and gather the generals." ”
"What the hell is going on?" Li Harizi and others followed Lei Datou to the pass.
"The Qing court's Jingyuan general, Prince Su Haoge, was killed by Lao Jiu's bombardment."
Lei Datou walked without looking back: "What did I say?" You two haven't believed it yet! ”
"Really?" Li Harrier stayed in Bengbu all of a sudden.
He thought that Lei Datou was bragging, but all of a sudden, the bragging turned into real.
Whoever hears it, the first reaction is also to be suspicious.
"What did I lie to you?" Lei Datou raised the letter in his hand: "Let the sister-in-law of the Zeng family take a look at it later, lest you think that Lao Tzu coaxed you into being illiterate." ”
Li Harrier's face was full of shock, my mother, that is the commander of the Qing army, and there are not many princes in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, right?
Besides, what is Hauge's identity?
Huang Taiji's eldest son, if it weren't for Dolgon, would have been the lord who could be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but he was killed by Qin Zuoming in Sichuan!
Obviously, he came to Pingdi Sichuan and Shu, but he ended up taking his life here.
After reading Qin Zuoming's letter, the sister-in-law of the Zeng family also sighed: "This is really a cycle of heavenly principles!" ”
Since the Qing army entered Sichuan, these leaders have not run to the end of death, especially when they are all in abundance of corporals.
Nothing else, it's all due to underestimating the enemy!
"Qin Zuoming isn't trying to coax us, is he?"
As Zeng Ying's old subordinate Zhang Tianxiang, since Qin Zuoming came and went, he knew that he wanted to annex his own side.
However, Mrs. Dong announced it like this, although Mrs. Dong has an excellent appearance, she is skilled in martial arts, and there are loyal maids and maids underneath, just like Sun Shangxiang.
In addition, there are Li Harrier, Yu Dahai Zhenchangzi, Zeng Yingcai died, and they are not easy to lift the table.
In the future, when it spreads, no one will accept them, unless they are Tartars who surrender outside the pass.
But they don't want to do this kind of thing.
"You just say you have something to be fooled about?" Lei Datou snorted smoke rings and sneered.
It's so fucking hurtful, but it works surprisingly.
If Qin Zuoming wanted to annex Fotuguan and Chongqing behind him by force, Zhang Tianxiang would not be able to stop him.
"I'm telling you, we don't want waste in Qingfeng Village." Lei Datou took the cigarette pouch and knocked on the table:
"Now that you want to go, you can go before Lao Jiu officially recruits you.
It's just that you have thought about it, don't go to the other side of the river, or don't blame Lao Tzu's knife in the future, he doesn't recognize it!
Oh, maybe I won't need to do it later, and when you cross the river, you'll have your heads cut off, just like those who surrendered and were cut off. ”
Haoge's commotion directly cut off their idea of surrendering to the Qing army.
Fuck, surrender is a death, if you don't surrender, the big guy may still be alive if he resists.
What's more, there is also Qin Zuoming, a foreign aid.
At this time, when people were rushed out, there was really no one at the scene who could muster up the courage to stand up and face Lei Datou.
After all, the letter said that the commander of the Qing army, Hao Ge, was dead.
Whether it's true or not, let's take it as true for the time being.
"Hmph." Lei Datou stood up and walked around twice: "Manchurian Eight Banner Soldiers, Lao Jiu will lead people to destroy."
What is in front of you now is nothing more than Wu Sangui's people, a group of dog traitors. ”
"But they are old soldiers of Guanning, and we will never be able to fight." Li Harrier knows a little more, but he also knows himself.
"Li Harrier, then Lao Tzu asked you, is it the old soldiers of Guanning who are easy to fight, or the dog Tartars who are easy to fight?"
"Naturally, the old soldiers of Guanning are easy to fight."
After Lei Datou's words were finished, everyone knew the answer, and they didn't want to really face the Tartars unless they had to.
"Now that they, the old army of Guanning, want to fight us, first of all, they will have no horses, and their combat power will be weakened a little."
