Han’s Son is Not a Slave: Chapter 1112 Man Tartar is unbelievable
West of Kaifeng, Xuanwuwei, nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, after two days of tentative contact, a war finally broke out.
The commander-in-chief of the Qing army was Aobai. There were more than 30,000 Qing troops participating in the war. Except for the more than 6,000 Han troops and the Henan Green Camp, the rest were the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia.
The commander of the Wu army was General Guo Zhuangtu. There were nearly 60,000 people in the Wu army. Except for the 20,000 Guanning direct descendants, the remaining battalions were adapted from the former army led by the former Sun Kewang. The commanders were Liu Zhifu, Gao Qilong, Wang Hui, Wu Zisheng, etc.
At the beginning of the war, the Wu army, with its superior strength, kept breaking through the Qing army's defense line, but in the afternoon, a Manchurian Eight Banners cavalry, led by An Zhuhu, the capital of Ningguta, suddenly broke through Gao Qilong's army, causing Wang Hui and Wu Zisheng on the two wings. The troops of the second battalion were cut off by the Qing army. Guo Zhuangtu hurriedly sent Wang Pingfan to lead the army to rescue, but the central army was attacked frantically by the Manchu soldiers commanded by Obai himself, so that Wang Pingfan's troops could not rescue. The two divisions of Wang Hui and Wu Zisheng, who were trapped under siege, were quickly overwhelmed by the Qing army, and the balance of the war instantly fell to the side of the Qing army.
"Failed!"
Guo Zhuangtu's face was sinking like water. On the plain in front of him, countless soldiers of his own side fell in a pool of blood, but he couldn't make his eyes blink any longer. Since following his father-in-law Wu Sangui, Guo Zhuangtu has never suffered such a defeat, even if he was ambushed by the Qing army last time, the casualties were not as heavy as they are today. The frenzied attack of the Manchu soldiers made the casualties of Guan Ning's army, directly related to the Wu army, far more than in any previous battle. Even when he was ambushed by Ming Jin King Li Dingguo in Mopan Mountain, Guan Ning's army lost less than 5,000. Today, it exceeds this number.
"withdraw troops."
Without any hesitation, Guo Zhuangtu decided to retreat, even though there were still more than 10,000 sergeants on the battlefield surrounded by the Qing army. He knew very well that the encircled soldiers and horses could no longer be rescued. If he did not want to be wiped out, he would have to leave the battlefield immediately. It doesn't matter if he loses, the important thing is that Guan Ningjun's direct line power should not lose too much here, otherwise, the consequences will be greater than defeat.
Hu Shouliang sighed and said, "Why don't you hold on?"
"It's not necessary." Guo Zhuangtu shook his head calmly, "The Tartars have already boosted their morale, and if we continue to fight, we can't even withdraw even if we want to."
"The Eight Banners are like Eight Banners today." It was Yang Kun, a general from Guan Ningjun who spoke.
Hearing this, Hu Shouliang was stunned for a moment. The decline in the combat power of the Eight Banners soldiers was obvious, otherwise the Wu army would not have been so contemptuous of the Qing army. Only in today's battle, the Eight Banners played the fierceness of 20 years ago, and it was too similar to the Eight Banners powerhouse led by Hong Tai and Dorgon. I really don't know how the Qing court managed to get such a good army out. If the Eight Banners soldiers who were defeated by the Taiping Army in the past were able to fight like they are today, they probably wouldn't have the courage to rebel against the Qing.
"Let's go, the future is long, we can afford to lose, and Aobai can't afford to lose."
Guo Zhuangtu sneered, he didn't need to spend all his direct relationship Guan Ningjun in this already unwinnable battle, he had to preserve his strength. As he said, Aobai won today, but he still can't change the situation, because the strength ratio between the two sides will not change because of one or two battles. What's more, there are more than 100,000 horses in the Loyalty Camp behind Aobai. Maybe, Aobai has more headaches than him now.
When the order to withdraw the army was given, the generals of the Wu army who were still fighting hard and persevering were surprised and could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Today the Manchu Tartars are much more ruthless than before, and it can be seen that they are really desperate. If we continue to fight this battle, except for increasing casualties, there is no point. It is better to withdraw first.
After finding that the main force of the Wu army was retreating, the Qing army tried to pursue it, but with little success. Under the constant attack of the Qing army, Liu Zisheng's group collapsed completely, and Liu Zisheng himself was captured alive by the Qing army. Yang Wubo Liao Yu, the chief soldier Wang Yougong and others were killed one after another. In the end, the remaining more than 3,000 Wu troops were trapped on a hillside only tens of meters high under the leadership of Qishan Hou Wanghui, relying on the surrounding terrain and night.
After finding that the Wu army was defeated and trapped, the Qing army stopped the attack and sent people to guard the river under the slope. I believe that it will not be long before Wu Jun, who is short of water and food, will surrender himself.
Under the stars, Wang Hui lost his confidence in breaking through. He was in despair, knowing that he had been abandoned and that death awaited him and his men.
In the second half of the night, the soldiers under the **** suddenly found Wang Hui with a person. Seeing this person, Wang Hui couldn't help being stunned, because this person was his nephew Song Qingquan. Wang Hui looked at his nephew in disbelief, because he saw Qingquan fall off his horse during the day and was surrounded by a dozen Qing soldiers. He thought his nephew was dead.
Song Qingquan stepped forward and knelt in front of Wang Hui, crying bitterly: "Uncle, Qingquan is not dead!"
Wang Hui lifted his nephew tremblingly, looked at it for a while, and then asked, "How did you escape?"
Song Qingquan lowered his head and told his uncle that he did not escape, but was put back by the Qing army.
"Why did the Qing army let you go?"
Wang Hui was stunned for a moment, and then he understood why the Qing army let his nephew go. Sure enough, Song Qing said hesitantly: "Uncle, I obeisance to the Lord"
Wang Hui interrupted his nephew and said bluntly, "Ao Bai asked you to persuade me to surrender, right?"
Song Qing's face flushed red, but nodded slightly. He was very afraid that his uncle would not surrender, and would even tie him up in front of the soldiers, but after a while, his uncle said, "What are the conditions for Obai?"
Guo Zhuangtu led his troops to retreat to a small town more than 30 miles west of Zhongxuanwu. It is said that this is where Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng's camp, so the locals call this place Chuangwangzhai.
In the dark of night, hundreds of elite riders rushed to the ground with torches to break into Wangzhai. Wu Sangui, who was dressed in military uniform, arrived here overnight after learning that Guo Zhuangtu was defeated.
In the big tent, the lights were bright, and dozens of Wu Jun generals sat in the tent, and they looked at Wu Sangui nervously. During the daytime battle, some of these Wu generals performed well, some of them commanded improperly, and some even retreated. The brave are naturally not worried, and the timid must be uneasy now, lest the King of Liao will bring himself to justice.
However, Wu Sangui did not get angry because of the unfavorable battle, nor did he mean to punish the incompetent generals. He slowly glanced at the generals, and said solemnly: "The relationship between Kaifeng and the Central Plains has gained and lost, and it is reasonable for the Qing army to resist stubbornly. Today's defeat is not because our army is incompetent, but because the Qing army has retreated and has no way to retreat. This king is sad. What's more, those soldiers who died in battle, alas, this king is sorry for them. You all need to make a good living when you look back. For the families of the fallen soldiers, we must take good care of them in the future, and we must not let them suffer grievances."
After hearing Wu Sangui's words, all the generals turned gloomy. In this battle during the day, many cannon fodders died, but the elites of the direct line also lost a lot, and many of them were the cronies of these generals. Now that people are dead, they have no way to bring the dead back to life, and all they can do is to take good care of their families.
"My lord, our army is strong, and the Qing army is weak. If they defend against danger, maybe we can't do anything about them. But Kaifeng is a plain and there is no danger to defend. The Qing army won this time, but they again How many soldiers and horses can withstand such a loss. Your lord, don't worry, Kaifeng will go down sooner or later!" The speaker was Gao Qilong, whose headquarters was swept away by the Qing army during the day.
Guo Zhuangtu glanced at Gao Qilong and hummed slightly. Many generals in the tent also looked at Gao Qilong wrongly. Obviously, they blamed Gao Qilong for the failure of the war. If the high part had not collapsed, the two flanks would not have been overrun by the Manchu soldiers.
Gao Qilong was a little embarrassed by the generals, but he had already stood up, and it was difficult to sit down at this time. He was a little embarrassed for a while~www.mtlnovel.com~ General Gao is right, how many soldiers and horses can Aobai have like us Consumption. "
Wu Sangui didn't mean to blame Gao Qilong, because it doesn't make any sense to pursue it now. What he needs is that the generals can unite, regroup and fight the Qing army again, but you blame him, he blames you.
"My lord, I will see at the end of the day"
Wang Pingfan was about to speak, but he vaguely heard shouting from outside, his face changed, and he rushed outside the tent, but what he saw surprised him. I saw that there was already a fire in the east.
Wu Sangui and the generals also walked out of the tent, and what they saw shocked them. Guo Zhuangtu realized something, and said angrily, "Your Highness, Su Bai is the opposite!"
"I said earlier that Man Tartars can't be trusted. When they were in Xi'an, they should all be slaughtered!"
Wang Pingfan also knew what was going on, his fists were clenched tightly, his eyes glowing red under the reflection of the firelight
