As expected, it was just a test, and it retreated at the touch, and the artillery position was flattened and there was no response. It was a tentative attack.

Lu Haoshan did not order an offensive and retaliated, and Hong Chengchou did not test again. This conflict was like a formality. Of course, this conflict ended with the complete victory of the Sichuan Army. The casualties of artillery positions were difficult to count. In the battle of Wujiawan, under the fierce attack of Dubu and Li Dingguo, the Qing army left more than 200 corpses and more than 60 prisoners, and fled in a panic.

After fighting with Zhang Rui, Hong Chengchou did not send his elite troops to mobilize the Sichuan Army, but instead dispatched some ordinary cavalry. Duobu and Li Dingguo were all elite soldiers, and they were eager to make contributions, so naturally they would not show mercy. When they saw the enemy, they rushed up like a wolf and saw a sheep. They defeated the Qing army with just a charge, and their combat effectiveness was extremely impressive.

"Sir, what are we doing now?" Li Dingguo asked with some anticipation.

Lu Haoshan put down Qianli's eyes and said calmly: "Go back to the patrol camp, the spot has been surrounded and the movement has come out. Dorgon mostly can't sit still. It's time to arrange some things and fight his reinforcements."

As soon as this statement was made, the generals who were waiting for the opportunity to take action, but were unable to have the chance to follow Lu Haoshan's footsteps and return to the coach camp, waiting for Lu Haoshan to assign the task of aiding them. For them, they had been waiting for this day for a long time. They thought they would face hard battles as soon as they left Sichuan, but they did not expect that Dorgon had been holding troops. Even if Lu Haoshan and others went to Ningqiangzhou to pay homage, he would not hear anything. They seemed to be waiting for you to come and beat them. The Sichuan army was the young and strong faction represented by Li Dingguo and Zhang Rui, and they were eager to make contributions.

The two armies faced each other, and one was tortured. Lu Haoshan suddenly turned his horse head to surround Dingjun Mountain. Dorgon immediately learned the news, but he was smart and did not take action at the first time. First, Dingjun Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and Hong Chengchou also operated for a long time and was not easy to conquer. Second, the one who defended Dingjun Mountain was Hong Chengchou, who made his fortune in Shaanxi. With his ability to manage the army and familiarity with the terrain, the Sichuan Army was not easy to break. It is best to wait until the second army was twisted and then fight out in time, so that he could obtain the greatest benefit with the smallest representation.

This was the case when the Qing Dynasty entered the pass. Wu Sangui's troops were slaughtered by Li Zicheng. It was not until Wu Sangui couldn't resist that he suddenly attacked. Not only did he defeat Li Zicheng's army in one fell swoop, but he also greatly weakened Wu Sangui's strength. That's it. Wu Sangui, who was preparing to rule the Qing Dynasty, had to surrender under the iron hoof of the Qing Dynasty.

However, when the incident happened, Dorgon was unexpected, the Sichuan army surrounded and did not attack, as if they were going to trap Hong Chengchou and his party to death. This made Dorgon a little unable to advance and retreat, and hesitated. Unexpectedly, there was a roar of cannons from Dingjun Mountain. At this time, all the soldiers could not sit still and went forward to ask for battle. Dorgon could not sit still. He summoned a group of senior generals in the lobby of the government office to discuss.

After a sudden change in military situation, senior generals such as Dorgon, Ajige, Dahai, Abatai, Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong gathered together to discuss the latest civilian development.

Dorgon was a practical man, with less complicated tape. Seeing that the number of people was all gone, he spoke directly: "Everyone, I believe you know the recent updates of the Sichuan Army. I thought he was coming to attack my Hanzhong City, but I didn't expect that he would swiftly and surrounded Dingjun Mountain. General Pingxi wanted to break through, but he beat him back. The artillery position also failed miserably under the bombing. Tell me, what should I do now?"

Wu Sangui said with a serious expression: "There is an old saying in the Central Plains that those who can win Dingjun Mountain will win Hanzhong, and those who can win Hanzhong will win the world. Dingjun Mountain is located in the Daba Mountains and is the gateway to Shaanxi. The strategic location is extremely important. When Zhuge Liang cleverly captured Dingjun Mountain, this established the situation of the three kingdoms. In order to prevent being attacked from being attacked from both sides, it is reasonable for the Sichuan army to seize Sichuan first."

"That's right," Fan Wencheng also said: "The Sichuan Army's regular army has only 100,000 people. This time, it will naturally take one step at a time. Because of the internal emptiness, they dare not go too far, so as not to take advantage of the situation. This can also explain their purpose of abandoning Hanzhong and taking Dingjun Mountain. In addition, we adopt the tactic of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields. Sichuan's supply replenishment depends entirely on long-distance transportation. From a strategic perspective, they also need a safe stronghold, and the location of Dingjun Mountain is undoubtedly the best."

Ajige said in some confusion: "Then why did the Lu surname surround and not attack?"

Wu Sangui stole the limelight in front and finally seized an opportunity. Shang Kexi hurriedly said: "Dingjunshan is easy to defend but difficult to attack, but not easy to succeed. Besides, General Hong has been operating for a long time and has made many settings. It can be extremely strong and aggressive. If you attack rashly, you will definitely suffer heavy casualties. Now you are surrounded and apply pressure while tempting. This is something that must be prevented."

"Sichuan has only a few hundred thousand people. The troops are working hard to make an expedition, and it is difficult to replenish supplies. It is the time to beat him up. Please think twice." Shang Kexi was not willing to let the enemy go, and quickly persuaded him.

Dahai, Li Yongfang, Ma Guangyuan and others also expressed the importance of attacking.

In order to defend against Sichuan, the Qing Dynasty not only stopped its strife, but also drew most of the elite troops to prepare for a decisive battle with Sichuan. This was recognized by all the Manchus. The reason was very simple. A killing Qing order made the Manchus lose their minds and unable to sleep at night. The number of people who died of killing Qing orders has been increasing. Everyone was reluctant to flatten Sichuan. It is no exaggeration to say that the Qing Dynasty was unprecedentedly consistent in the decision to use troops in Sichuan.

"The generals are right. Now the Sichuan Army relies on the sharp firearms to regard our Qing Dynasty as nothing is simply arrogant. Now the soldiers surround Dingjun Mountain, which is just a matter of opportunity to cooperate internally and externally. The Sichuan Army surrounds Dingjun Mountain, and we can surround them and wipe them out in one fell swoop." After saying that, Dorgon said a little depressedly: "It's a pity that my Qing Dynasty warriors must be scattered all over the place and have not yet gathered. It's a pity that such a good opportunity."

When Fan Wencheng heard this, he said seriously: "Prince, please rest assured. Although the Qing Dynasty iron puppets have not yet gathered, there are so many generals who are loyal to the Qing Dynasty who are present, and they will not stand by, right?"

It was not pointed out on the surface, but everyone present knew that he and Dorgon were singing and reconciling each other, and clearly recommended those present to fight the vanguard. By then, the Qing army would pick up cheaper in the back. This has become a common practice, and everyone did not express any dissatisfaction. In fact, these people had long been expected. Even though they knew they were cannon fodder, no one of the generals present who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty opposed this opinion.

In order to show his loyalty, Wu Sangui was the first to volunteer: "Prince, the last general led the elite soldiers of our headquarters to kill the Sichuan soldiers who were invading the territory without leaving any armor."

"The last thing is the Qing Dynasty to go through fire and water."

"Prince, choose me, I am very familiar with the environment here."

"I will be the pioneer of the original work and ask the prince to fulfill his wish."

As soon as Wu Sangui spoke, the people present did not dare to neglect and took the initiative to ask for battle. He looked forward to showing more in front of his master. When he thought about it carefully, Dorgon was good at commanding troops. He not only had a broad vision, but also had clear rewards and punishments in the army. Therefore, his reputation in the army was still very good. If there were officials from the former Ming Dynasty who saw this environment here, he might have to be angry on the spot, because there were many officials from the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty gathered here. It is no exaggeration to say that it was almost a concentration camp. (To be continued, please search for Piaotian Si, the novel is better and faster!
