436 Failed
Tang Qiang gave Wu Sangui a chance, but Wu Sangui insisted on going to the dark side, and did not plan for each other, and he could only decide on the battlefield.
The cliff slope is located west of the Han River, which is the only way for Wu Sangui to march into Dingjun Mountain. If Wu Sangui does not pass here, he will have to walk twice as much as possible, and he will still take remote paths. These are not good for the march, and it is better to travel, but you can't drag a large amount of supplies and food to cross mountains and rivers. In ancient times, the transportation was inconvenient and depended heavily on roads, especially the official roads. Moreover, the ancient roads were not as well-connected as later generations, and there were only a few official roads and small roads. This is why most of the military advisors could guess the enemy's movements.
Lu Haoshan proposed to surround the site to attack and assist. In addition to having enough confidence, he was also a decision made by the geography formed by the local transportation environment.
In fact, it is okay to use small troops to raid, but it is difficult for the large troops to hide their whereabouts. Tang Qiang took the lead in deploying on the cliff slope. If Wu Sangui wanted to reinforce Dingjun Mountain, he must first pass Tang Qiang's level.
"General"
"General, what did the Tang surname say?"
"General, is it okay?"
As soon as Wu Sangui returned to the army, his subordinates surrounded him and greeted him with concern.
"It's okay, he just wants us to surrender." Wu Sangui said lightly: "Today is different from the past. Now our family is in the hands of the Qing people. If a real man is alive, he will not bring wealth to his family, and he will not bring disaster to them, right?"
Dorgon was definitely a hero of a generation. His understanding of people's hearts reached a state of insight. The system of rewards and punishments is worthy of reference by everyone. He treated surrendered soldiers with great preferential treatment, not only in terms of salary, but also in his family. When the Qing Dynasty was still outside the pass, there were not so many methods. After entering the Central Plains, the north of the Yellow River was under his control. If anyone betrayed, his family would be implicated. This is called it easy to get on the pirate ship and get off the pirate ship.
Someone was a little moved when he heard Tang Qiang's advice to surrender, but when he heard Wu Sangui's words, he was silent all of a sudden.
Xia Guoqiao said in a deep voice: "At this point, we will advance and retreat with the general. Whoever dares to betray the general, will not let him go if I am the first to betray him."
In Wu Sanzhu's army, the Prime Minister of Xia, who is both civil and military, can be regarded as the second person. Xia, was unsuccessful in his early years, and had some talent but no one appreciated him. It was not until Wu Sangui discovered that he made his debut, had a very strategic vision, participated in all Wu Sangui's important decisions, and was grateful to the Prime Minister of Xia, who was loyal to him for his benefactor.
"That's it" as a son-in-law, Hu Guozhu stared at the tiger's eyes and said, "Now we are on the same boat, we must work together and work together. Who dares to have a double heart? I chop him up and feed him to the dog."
The soldiers spoke one after another, expressing their loyalty to Wu Sangui.
Although it was hard to slap in thousands of trials, it was only after blowing up the sand. Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng had a group of soldiers who had been unwilling to act as the minions of Manchu Qing Dynasty and secretly left behind. Most of the people who were determined to follow Wu Sangui. Compared with the king's support, the troops were reduced a lot, but the people's hearts were also more united. Wu Sangui also had a good job of employed people, if history had not shifted. For example, Prime Minister Xia, Hu Guozhu, Ma Bao and others, after Wu Sangui died, they knew that they had failed and were still tenacious to the end and did not surrender. In the end, they shed the last drop of blood for the Wu clan.
Of course, these are outside words, and history has a huge deviation due to a person's time travel.
Wu Sangui saw that the soldiers under his command were so united, and he was happy in his heart. He waved his hand and said, "Okay. Let's discuss how to fight this war. Prime Minister, what do you think?"
Xia Guo Prime Minister is both civil and military, and has a very strategic vision. Wu Sangui regards him as the number one think tank. Now that his itinerary is blocked, Wu Sangui, who wants to show up, is too lazy to hold any more meetings in order to save time, so he asked directly.
"According to the information obtained by the scouts, Tang Qiang had about 3,000 people along the way, but they were all troops proficient in cavalry and shooting. They were all firearms, which were difficult to deal with. If you think of three strategies to fall off the cliff slope, the best strategy was to lure them to pursue them. We set up an ambush in the middle to annihilate them in one fell swoop; Zhongshou did not take the lead, and built a plank road and secretly crossed Chencang to bypass them, but this mid-strategy was not easy to implement. The Sichuan Army's intelligence system was very fast and used to send letters to the flying pigeon. It was difficult to marches on a large scale. It was also a lot of preparations. The worst strategy was to wait for the infantry to join and attack the down on the cliff slope with the advantage of the number of people."
He is really worthy of being the number one think tank. When he was so short, he thought of the three strategies of the upper, middle and lower. Wu Sangui nodded frequently after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he quickly made up his mind: "At this moment, Dorgon and others were watching us from behind. Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong and others were also working hard. If we are unwilling to let the enemy down, this best strategy is good, so we will lead the snake out of the hole."
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the generals and said, "This trip is very dangerous. Who would like to go?"
"General, I'll go." Ma Bao was the first to volunteer.
"General, I'll go."
"General, let me go."
Guo Zhuangtu, Hu Shouliang, Guo Yunlong, Hu Guozhu and others also volunteered to take the initiative to serve as bait. Although they lost their integrity for life and future, they were still outstanding soldiers and could still face death calmly.
Their beliefs have changed, but their pride still exists.
"Guozhu, go and deal with it carefully." Wu Sangui didn't think about it and put his son-in-law in a dangerous position without hesitation. This was also considered as a leader and assigning the most dangerous tasks to his own people. In this way, no one would say anything behind the scenes, and no one would say anything when assigning combat tasks.
"Yes, General, the last general will definitely fulfill his mission." Hu Guozhu said with a determined look on his face.
Soon, the first attack began. A round of cannons fired, and ten tiger squat cannons fired together. The tiger squat cannons were not far away. The Sichuan army could not attack on the hillside, but it was not difficult to hit the temporarily arranged horse-rejected objects under the hillside. Soon, these obstacles exploded into pieces in the sound of cannons. When the cannons stopped, all the objects that hindered the advance had been cleared. Seeing that the cleaning was completed, Hu Guozhu gave an order, a gang composed of elites and incorporated miscellaneous soldiers immediately launched an attack. More than a thousand people formed a horse team, urging the horse and setting fire guns. The sound of killing shocked the world and launched an attack on the slope of the cliff. Although it was not as advanced as the Sichuan army's firearms, it was also equipped with a large number of seven-eyed guns and bird guns, and the firepower should not be underestimated. Hu Guozhu led the way and rushed to the front with a slashing sabre.
"Brothers, rush." Hu Guozhu squeezed the horse's belly hard and shouted with a roar.
"Roar" a group of soldiers rushed towards the slope of the cliff.
Seeing Wu Sangui sending someone to charge, Tang Qiang showed a sneer in his eyes and watched coldly. He waited until the enemy entered the range of the musket, and then ordered: "Fight, hit me hard."
"Bang bang"
"Bang bang bang"
With a command, the soldiers who had been prepared had pulled the trigger one after another. The sound of the fire of the musket was like fried beans. This time, they were all new muskets with iron bullets. They were fast shooting, fast loading, and long range and powerful. In terms of performance, they were several streets away from the old muskets. Even three-stage split-strikes could be formed to continuously output the firepower. When the muskets were fired, those wood was ready to beat the wood, and the rolling stones were pushed down from a high place to prevent the cavalry from advancing.
Occupying a high place, this is the advantage of the advantage of the advantage of the local area. People's hearts are sharp, especially those who are well-trained. The charge Wu Sangui's troops are constantly being shot and fall to the ground. For a moment, there are shouts of killing, muskets, arrows and screams. The battle has become more intense at the beginning. Wu Sangui is heartbroken and is also surprised by the firepower of the Sichuan Army.
That kind of equipment is simply a luxury, no wonder that only 3,000 people dare to set up a card here to block it, and it is indeed the basis for it.
"Retreat, retreat, the firepower of the Sichuan Army is too strong." With less than a quarter of an hour of charge, at least 20% of his subordinates were damaged. Hu Guozhu was so heartbroken that his face was thrusting. Fortunately, this time he was just a feint attack to lure the Sichuan Army to chase him. The price was very high and he did enough, so he ordered the retreat.
"Brothers, run away."
"This firearm is too powerful, let's withdraw."
"Escape, these Sichuan troops are really too strong."
Before the attack, Hu Guozhu had already made arrangements, but not many people knew the inside story, and so many casualties, coupled with the "panic" atmosphere deliberately created by his confidant subordinates, the army was completely defeated for a moment, and the soldiers fled desperately. Even the soldiers under the mountain legs were infected, and they fled back one by one, making the scene of defeat so real that they could no longer be true.
"General, the enemy has fled, let's chase."
"General, chase after me. Now is a great time. We will catch them up and kill them."
"Okay, the defeat is the best time to expand the results of the war."
When they saw Wu Sangui running away, the Sichuan Army soldiers who participated in the battle were overjoyed and asked for pursuit, but Tang Qiang said seriously: "If there is no order from the general, no one is allowed to attack without authorization. Violators will deal with military law."
"General, why?" a captain said in confusion.
Tang Qiang said leisurely and leisurely: "First, the opponent's main general is Wu Sangui. Although this person has no backbone, he is a general who is not deductible. How can he retreat so easily? This is definitely a trap. Second, if they want to reinforce Dingjun Mountain, they must pass here unless they take a detour. However, with his pride, they will definitely not take a detour. Just wait for him here, and there is no need to take a risk."
When the soldiers heard this, they suddenly realized and took the order.
Hu Guozhu fled more than two miles and found that Tang Qiang was not deceived. After asking Wu Sangui for instructions, he led his army to attack again. He attacked several times in a row and discounted hundreds of people. Even Hu Guozhu was shot in the arm, but Tang Qiang was still breathless, defending but not attacking, and gritting his teeth and had no choice. After the discussion, he no longer let his subordinates die in vain. While Wu Sangui ordered camping on the mountain opposite the slope of the cliff, he asked someone to urge the troops behind the foot and back to accelerate.
Only now, the only way to use the presiding strategy of the Prime Minister of Xia, to concentrate superior forces to attack the cliff slope in one fell swoop. Obviously, this will be a bloody battle. (To be continued.)
