Chapter 1183: Sha Dingzhou Captured (Second Watch)
At this time, it was not only Mu Tianbo, Wu Zhaoyuan and Yang Weizhi who came to meet Chongzhen, but also Jinyi Wei Qianhu Han Yin, Han Qianhu saw that Emperor Chongzhen brought good news on the battlefield.
Li Dingguo led the generals Feng Shuangli and Wang Shangli to lead 30,000 elite soldiers out of the south gate to pursue the remnants of Wu Sangui.
In Maitreya Prefecture (i.e., the area of Luxi County in later generations), a remnant of the Great Western Army was surrounded by the 10,000 Ming army of Wang Shangli and Feng Shuangli.
This is the front of Li Dingguo.
The main general of Wu Sangui's men and horses who were surrounded was Wu Sangui's son Wu Yinglin, and there was also the strategist Fang Guangchen.
It turned out that after this group of men and horses left the city overnight, they were supposed to go to Ami Prefecture to support Shadingzhou, of course, this was nominally. But at dawn, they got the news that Amizhou had fallen, and Sha Dingzhou ran away with the remnants of the defeated army, so they diverted to the southwest, and went through the mountains and forests to meet at the Yuanjiang Mansion designated by Wu Sangui.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived in the area of Maitreya Prefecture, he was suddenly surrounded by the Ming army.
A scuffle ensued between the two sides.
Wu Yinglin only has 5,000 people, saying that he is supporting others, but he is actually fleeing for his life. Therefore, the army's morale is unstable, including Wu Yinglin, who has no intention of fighting.
Coupled with being outnumbered, Wang Shuangli and Wang Shangli each brought 5,000 Ming troops and trapped them in the middle.
This murderous battle was full of casualties and blood.
In the melee, Wu Yinglin first encountered Wang Shangli, who was a fierce general under Zhang Xianzhong, one of the governors of the five armies, and his martial arts cultivation was the seventh layer of the day after tomorrow.
But as soon as the two of them fought, they were defeated by Wu Yinglin, who was strong in blood, and the young man was now playing with his life, with a big knife in his hand, flying up and down, and being able to exert the power of the eighth layer of the body refining realm.
Therefore, after a few battles, Wang Shangli couldn't parry.
At this time, Feng Shuangli was killed, and Feng Shuangli was also the force of the 7th layer of the day after tomorrow, and like Wang Shangli, they were the five major overseers under Zhang Xianzhong, and the two of them jointly attacked Wu Yinglin.
But Wu Yinglin is indeed Wu Sangui's bloodline, and the blue is better than the blue, the young man is only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he is as strong as the two fierce generals, and he does not fall behind.
After more than a dozen rounds of fighting, Wang Shangli and Feng Shuangli were defeated and fled.
Wu Yinglin did not chase after him, because at this time he was mainly breaking through.
Wu Yinglin protected the strategist Fang Guangchen, and led the remnants of the defeated army to fight his way out of the bloody road and continue to flee west.
But this time he didn't go out of 30 miles, and when he was temporarily resting near a small village, he was surrounded by a large number of Ming troops again.
This time, the leader of the troops was Li Dingguo, who caught the Wu army in front, and then Feng Shuangli and Wang Shangli chased after him from the left and right.
Wu Yinglin had no choice but to break through again.
But now there are about 2,000 people left in the 5,000 Wu army, and the Ming army is overwhelming in all directions, and I don't know how many people there are.
At this time, the situation is grim, and only individuals can take care of themselves. Wu Yinglin broke through with his personal guards, but Fang Guangchen was not a fool, he had no martial arts, he could only use his intelligence, and quickly disguised himself as an ordinary soldier, planning to take advantage of the chaos to be a fish that slipped through the net......
In the melee, Wu Yinglin and Li Dingguo fought each other.
Li Dingguo of the White Horse Silver Spear is the martial force of the 9th layer of the Body Refining Realm, that is, the acquired consummation realm, and he is one layer short of breaking through the innate realm.
In contrast, Wu Yinglin is young, although he is strong in blood, he lacks combat experience and does not have enough experience on the battlefield. The second is that there is only 8 layers of the realm of refining the body, and there is still one layer of cultivation between him and Li Dingguo.
Therefore, Wu Yinglin was not Li Dingguo's opponent, and after the two fought for more than a dozen rounds, Wu Yinglin ran away with a false sword, and Li Dingguo chased after him.
In the end, Wu Yinglin was wounded in three places, and finally opened a bloody road, and under the cover of night, he fled with hundreds of remnants of the defeated general.
Li Dingguo, Feng Shuangli and Wang Shangli chased for more than ten miles, and they didn't dare to chase anymore, for fear of being ambushed by thieves, they collected the soldiers and horses.
In this battle, more than 1,000 thieves were annihilated, and they were sent out to investigate the situation of the thief army at night, and rested their troops and horses on the spot. The next day, Li Dingguo continued to pursue and annihilate the remnants of the enemy.
After these two battles with the Ming army, Wu Yinglin was defeated
There were three minor injuries, but when he left the city, there were 5,000 men and horses, and now there are only seven or eight hundred people left, and the whereabouts of Fang Guangchen, the advisor sent to him by Wu Sangui, are also unknown.
There are not too many of these seven or eight hundred people are all the elite of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the ordinary soldiers have died in the chaos.
Wu Yinglin cheered up and continued to flee west with seven or eight hundred cavalry.
Two days later, they came to the area of Dehou Town, Wenshan County, Yunnan Province, where the terrain is relatively complex, with mountains and mountains, dense jungles, and strange rocks.
Wu Yinglin was walking forward, and suddenly a team turned out of the mountain ring, this team had the appearance of nearly 10,000 horses, and in the middle was a row of wooden cage prisoner carts, loaded with several prisoners, and the banner was the banner of the Ming Dynasty.
The two generals led by him, one is Liu Wenxiu, and the other is his deputy general Wang Fuchencheng.
These two generals previously sealed Li Dingguo's order and led 10,000 soldiers and horses to chase and kill Sha Dingzhou. After Sha Dingzhou was defeated and fled from Ami Prefecture, he sent his second son Sha Leopard to ask Wu Sangui for help.
Sha Dingzhou fled to the city with the remnants of the defeated army, intending to defend the place at risk.
The sand leopard soon moved in reinforcements, and the deputy general headed by himself claimed to be Wu Zhimao, a general under Wu Sangui, and attracted 5,000 reinforcements.
Sha Dingzhou is overjoyed, and he can come to 5,000 people to help him, which is not a thin favor. Coupled with the thousands of men and horses under his command, the number of troops reached more than 10,000, and this place was a dangerous mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it could be defended.
Therefore, Shading Prefecture took these 5,000 men and horses up the mountain.
At this time, the Ming general Liu Wenxiu and the Ming army had already approached the mountain, and after Sha Dingzhou's father and son thanked him for their kindness, they divided their troops to resist the enemy.
Who knew that before it was fought, the mountain would be broken.
It turned out that the 5,000 reinforcements were all fake, and the one named Wu Zhimao was actually played by the Ming general Wang Fuchen, and after he and Liu Wenxiu robbed Shadingzhou at night, they got this information, and then they planned to solve the cottage.
Sha Dingzhou was really fooled, and the cottage that claimed to be impregnable was broken in an instant, and Sha Dingzhou could only be captured.
After Liu Wenxiu and Wang Fuchen took the cottage effortlessly, they beheaded all the thousands of rebels under Sha Dingzhou, leaving several important generals such as the father and son of the Sha family to take prisoner cars and load wooden cages, ready to be sent to Kunming Mansion to hand over to the emperor Faluo.
At this time, I happened to meet a Wu army.
Wu Yinglin felt too unlucky, why did he meet the Ming army again?
In a melee between the two sides, Wu Yinglin was defeated by the second general, and two or three hundred people were killed and wounded, leaving only four or five hundred Wu troops into the vast mountains......
Liu Wenxiu and Wang Fuchen did not chase too much, and escorted Sha Dingzhou's father and son to continue their journey.
Soon Liu Wenxiu, Wang Fuchen and Li Dingguo were divided, and the two sides were united. Li Dingguo sent Wang Fuchen and ordered him to bring 5,000 soldiers and horses to escort the father and son back to Kunming Mansion.
Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Feng Shuangli and Wang Shangli continued to pursue Wu Yingqi with 40,000 horses, because the emperor had decreed that the thieves must be eliminated.
