Chapter 1140: Sun Kewang Turns Against the Water (Three Watches)
Just when Wu Sangui, Liu Daotong and others were confused about the question of true and false Chongzhen, there was good news on the battlefield five hundred miles away.
Azig, Bolo and Liu Jinzhong, and the newly surrendered Lu Wanzhong achieved a great victory in the Ukrainian League.
This can be regarded as a mixed victory, war, there are victories and defeats, this is normal, Wu Sangui felt a little comforted in his heart, and hurriedly asked about the details......
After the city of Ningzhou was lost, the three defeated generals of the defeated army, Azige, Bolo and Liu Jinzhong, ran out of more than 50 miles in one breath with the remnants of the defeated generals, until the second watch, they saw that there were no chasing soldiers behind, so they stopped to rest the soldiers and horses and count the number of people.
Before the war, there were nearly 30,000 horses in the city, and after this day's fighting, only more than 8,000 people are now keeping up, of which less than 4,000 are Manchu.
The 20,000 Qing and Wu coalition troops were either killed in battle, captured and captured, or their whereabouts are unknown.
The leader of the two *** and a Han girl, they didn't dare to go forward after a discussion, they were not familiar with the geographical location here, Liu Daotong, He Daoming, and the three martial arts masters of the Hundred Flowers Fairy were all gone, and these three generals were just a few thousand people, and their hearts were even more bottomless.
So they decided to rest on the spot for the night and leave after dawn so as not to jump into the ambush circle of the Ming army.
That night, the three of them discussed countermeasures, where to go? Of course, he didn't dare to go back to Kunming to see Wu Sangui, the general of the defeated army, Wu Sangui lost his temper, maybe he cut off the heads of the three of them.
After discussion, Liu Jinzhong suggested going back to Wumeng and looking for Lu Wanzhong, now Lu Wanzhong has surrendered to Wu Sangui, and a Ming army is attacking Wumeng, they just happened to stop by and go to Wumeng to help Lu Wanzhong.
The two Manchu Qing *** Azig and Bolo also agreed.
So these thousands of people went all the way north, and two days later copied Sun Kewang's back road.
At this time, Sun Kewang was ordered by Wang Chengen to lead an army of 10,000 and Ainengqi to storm Wumeng Prefecture.
Although Lu Wanzhong had tens of thousands of horses under his command, there were not many elite soldiers, and the confrontation on the frontal battlefield was not the opponent of Sun Kewang and Ai Nengqi at all.
Therefore, Lu Wanzhong retreated in defeat and retreat, lost a large area of territory, and finally retreated to Wumeng City, holding on to the city.
But he can't sit still, at this time he sent someone to move the rescuers, Wu Sangui, who was far away in Kunming, was too busy to take care of himself, of course, he couldn't send people to him, even if he could send it, it was far away from the water to quench his thirst.
In desperation, he had no choice but to ask for help from Ningzhou City, but before the people sent out came back, he got the news that Ningzhou City had been broken by the Ming army.
At this time, he thought of Li Dingguo again, but Li Dingguo would definitely not help him anymore. Although he helped Li Dingguo train 100 war elephants, he also did it at one time and another. Now each is its master, one is to betray the Ming, the other is to protect the Ming, water and fire are different.
At this time, Lu Wanzhong was thinking about whether he should surrender to Wu Sangui and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was he wrong?
If this continues, if Wumeng City is broken by the Ming army again, his life is not guaranteed, and his family interests will be completely wiped out. How did he face his fathers and fathers?
But if he surrenders to Daming at this time, I'm afraid Chongzhen won't let him. If you offend Wu Sangui and the Manchu Qing Dynasty again, it is equivalent to not being a person inside and out.
At this time, Lu Wanzhong regretted it a little and fell into a dilemma.
At this time, the Ming army began to attack the city on a large scale again.
Sun Kewang led 5,000 men and horses to attack the city from the south gate and the east gate, and Ai Nengqi led 5,000 troops and horses to attack the city from the north gate and the west gate.
At this time, there were no more than 10,000 Tusi soldiers defending the city, and all the Tusi soldiers under Lu Wanzhong were counted as nearly 30,000. But in the past few days, he has suffered defeats, some of them have been killed and wounded, and some of them have fled, and the remaining thousands of soldiers and horses have followed him to continue the battle.
At this time, Lu Wanzhong also went out, and he had to fight against the water, break the cauldron and sink the boat, personally ascend to the head of the city, and command the soldiers to defend the city.
The two sides fought from morning to afternoon and from afternoon to evening. The fighting was fierce, with heavy casualties on both sides. But seeing that Wumeng City could not be defended, Lu Wanzhong planned to abandon the city and flee.
It was at this time that the Ming army was behind
Suddenly there was a big chaos, and Azig, Bolo and Liu Jinzhong, two *** and a Han female cadre, led 8,000 men and horses, and started from behind the team of the Ming army.
This time, Sun Kewang and Ainengqi were killed by surprise. When Lu Wanzhong on the head of the city saw it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, God helped me!
Originally, they would have captured the city immediately, and the advantage of the Ming army instantly turned into a disadvantage.
Sun Kewang and Ai Nengqi only had to order a retreat, otherwise they would fall into the realm of being attacked by the enemy on their backs, and they would be in danger of being annihilated.
But at this time, Lu Wanzhong is not a ***, this toast leader is a standard local warlord, who has led troops for many years and has rich experience.
At this time, Lu Wanzhong gathered another 3,000 soldiers and horses to kill them from the city.
At this time, Sun Kewang and Ainengqi really fell into the situation of being attacked on their backs.
Because they were flanked by the enemy before and after, the Tusi soldiers were not enough, and the Manchu **** of Azig and Bolo and the Wu army led by Liu Jinzhong should not be underestimated.
In terms of numbers, the enemy was outnumbered, and they had been fighting for a day, and they were in a state of exhaustion, and suddenly the Ming army suffered heavy casualties.
In the melee, the brave and combative Ai Nengqi killed dozens of thieves and thieves in a row, whether it was the Tusi soldiers, or the Manchu Dynasty, or the soldiers under Wu Sangui, none of them were Ai Neng's opponents in front of his horse, and he was smashed under the horse by his mace after a few battles.
But at this time, Lu Wanzhong took out his bow and arrows and quietly aimed at Ainengqi's back.
An arrow was shot out, and Ainengqi, who was fighting with ***, never dreamed that someone would put a cold arrow behind his back at this time.
Ai Nengqi fell off the horse in response, and then was cut off by a *** boss, and his head was cut off with a knife.
A generation of famous generals Ainengqi died on the battlefield.
At dusk, Sun Kewang's remnants of the defeated army will be surrounded by the Qing-Wu coalition army and the Tusi soldiers, without waiting for Liu Jinzhong and others to persuade him, Sun Kewang took the initiative to choose to surrender, and ordered his hundreds of soldiers to throw all their swords and guns and kneel down as prisoners.
Azig, Bolo, and Lu Wanzhong all planned to kill Sun Kewang and recruit hundreds of soldiers under him, but the leaders had to be slaughtered, lest he rebel in the future.
It turned out that they also knew that Sun Kewang, like Zhang Xianzhong, was good at taking such a path, surrendering if he couldn't win, and then waiting for an opportunity to turn back.
Liu Jinzhong's eyes rolled, stopped the three of them in time, and said to Sun Kewang: "King Pingdong, let's work together, and you can be allowed to make meritorious contributions. Because King Wu is not in front of him, whether you can surrender or not, we don't count. If you can make meritorious contributions and see King Wu in the future, we can say a lot of good things for you."
"Thank you, Brother Liu." Sun Kewang was grateful.
Liu Jinzhong said: "Okay, there is an opportunity in front of me, I don't know if you dare to do it."
