Chapter Forty-Eight: The Bloody Battle on Phoenix Slope
Chapter Forty-Eight: The Bloody Battle on Phoenix Slope
Outside Xichong County, a small hill, no, it should not be a mountain, it can only be regarded as a hill, and it has become a place for corpses.
At this moment, a yellow flag was hung high behind the Qing army, which was the banner of the Qing army's yellow flag and the banner of Haoge. Hauge's banner is surging, but the army has arrived. Hauge stood high on his horse and watched from afar as the two sides fought. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Luo Luohun, Nikan." ”
"Humble duty." The two stepped forward.
One of these two people is in the prime of life, and the other is a little younger, and they don't say slaves to Haoge, because they are both surnamed Aixin Jueluo.
Luo Luohun is the son of Daishan's eldest son, Yue Tuo, and Nikan is the son of Zhu Ying, the eldest son of the old slave. One is a contemporary of Hauge, and the other is Hauge's nephew.
During the Shunzhi period of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, I have to admire the talent of the Aixin Jueluo family, just counting the generals of the clan, those who can lead the army alone, can make a list of ten people. Even if it was the worship of the powerful ministers in later generations, this night is just a slave.
Hauge said, "You two each take your own men, go around the thief camp, flank them, and don't seal the gap." ”
The two immediately understood, but it was just a plan to startle the snake. They all nodded and said, "Chirp." ”
Haoge's eyes are also poisonous, and he can see the biggest problem with Phoenix Slope at a glance. It is the problem of site selection, first of all, the Phoenix Slope is not a high peak, or even just called a slope, and the terrain of Xichong is not a flat river, but it is by no means a dangerous place, which can be garrisoned.
Zhang Xianzhong also knew these problems, but he temporarily received the news that the Qing army was chasing him during the march, so he could only camp on the spot because of his ugliness. There's no way around it.
Since it could not be attacked, Hauge besieged it. Thinking that this is not a city, the grain and grass brought by the army must be limited, and it is under a long siege. Although the Qing army did not bring much grain and grass, they could collect grain on the spot, and they did not do such a thing once or twice.
As long as Zhang Xianzhong is not a fool, he will definitely react.
Hauge's original intention was not to besiege, but to promote war.
He always believed that the combat power of the Qing army was unparalleled in the world, and he was never afraid of the enemy holding on, and he was never afraid of fighting in the field.
It's just that he doesn't know that in the Great Western Army, there has been a change of commander, otherwise his chances of victory will be one more layer.
At this moment, Liu Wenxiu was resisting Zhun Tower, Li Dingguo was resisting Gebuku, and the middle lane was left to Ai Nengqi to resist Aobai. It's not that the strength of the Ainengqi department is the strongest, on the contrary, the strength of the Ainengqi department is the worst among the four righteous sons.
The reason why he was placed here was because Sun Kewang was behind. Sun Kewang's subordinate and Zhang Xianzhong's Chinese army are the most powerful army in the whole army.
It's just that Ao Bai is called the first warrior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although there are exaggerations, but not all of them are falsehoods. At this moment, when Ao Bai rushed into battle, it was revealed, he dismounted and fought on foot, holding two long knives, and the place he passed was like a whirlwind mowing grass. It's simply unbeatable.
Ao Bai was so brave, the soldiers under Ao Bai were like stimulants, chasing after Ao Bai one by one, and the place where Ao Bai was located was the direction of the whole army's attack, and for a while there was a sense of momentum. Ao Bai broke three fences in a row. almost rushed to the front of Zhang Xianzhong's Chinese army camp.
Ai Nengqi tried his best to command the teams to strangle Aobai, and for a while, the rain of artillery and arrows rushed towards Aobai.
At this time, Ao Bai was covered in blood, and even his beard was stained with blood, as long as he shook it slightly, he shook it to the ground. Seeing this situation, Ao Bai was not afraid at all. It's not the first time he's encountered such a scene, and it's the same when he attacked Phi Island.
He lunged forward and bit Enenqi's men to the death, drawing the two armies into hand-to-hand combat. The rain of artillery arrows was unusable for a while.
Ai Nengqi couldn't, so he could only practice asking Sun Kewang for help, and when Sun Kewang wanted to rescue, he heard that the flank of the camp was attacked. Two Qing armies are storming. After Sun Kewang heard this, his heart trembled, and he said secretly: "It's not good." In this way, wouldn't you be able to leave if you want to? ”
Zhang Xianzhong's evaluation of Sun Kewang is not wrong at all, he handles general affairs, is good at dancing with long sleeves, and attracts generals, and he can be competent in general battles. But Sun Kewang is definitely not a famous general in military affairs.
The confrontation between the two armies has already been posted. At this time, there can only be two results, victory or defeat, but he has the mind of retreating in his heart. Already putting himself in the middle of the underdog. He immediately sent Zhang Xianzhong's Chinese army to support the flank and rear direction, holding down the men and horses of the headquarters in his hands, and did not dare to act rashly.
The battle is now fierce, but it has not yet reached the last moment. Sun Kewang, as the commander of the army, could not have a reserve team on hand.
His approach cannot be said to be wrong. But overestimating Ainengqi also underestimated Aobai.
Ao Bai became more and more crazy, like a mad tiger, I don't know how many long knives were cut, Ai Nengqi desperately filled in the lives of people, in order to maintain the team from crushing. But after all, people are not machines, and none of the people who go up in front are alive, so how can the people behind not be affected.
Ao Bai raised his head suddenly, and suddenly saw a big flag flying high, which was Zhang Xianzhong's handsome flag. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he shouted, "Bring me the bow." ”
Aobai's bow was left behind, and he picked up a big western army bow for a while, and when he pulled it, he suddenly felt that it was too light, put the three bows together, put a long arrow, and under the protection of the guards, he shouted loudly and pulled it away.
As soon as Ao Bai let go, this long arrow was almost invisible, only to hear the sound of "grabbing", nailed to the flagpole, a big flag, fluttering down.
Ao Baifang shouted left and right: "The thief is dead, and the descendant does not ask." ”
This slogan immediately spread throughout the battlefield, and for a time all the Great Western Army looked at the Chinese army. I was nervous.
And the Chinese army did not move.
Most of these people are Zhang Xianzhong's old subordinates, so they naturally know Zhang Xianzhong's old boss. Zhang Xianzhong fought a battle, and he was never the one who hid behind, and even because he was too far ahead, he almost beheaded Huang Degong at the beginning.
It is not the enemy who rushes to the camp of the Chinese army and can still sit firmly on the Diaoyutai platform.
Ao Bai shot down the handsome flag, which only made the morale of the people below fluctuate slightly, but the disposition below the Chinese army camp made everyone's hearts chill, and they all came to this point. "Old Shuai, why don't you come to supervise the war? Is it ----?"
For a time, the morale of the army fluctuated, and the morale declined.
Morale seems to be very weak, but it is actually very real.
To be honest, the morale of today's Great Western Army is not high. After Zhang Xianzhong settled in Chengdu, he won a lot of battles at the beginning. But then it was one defeat after another, not to mention that it was still in the hands of Yang Zhan some time ago, and he suffered a loss.
In the situation where one defeat is leading to another, the morale of the Great Western Army is basically stable, which is already quite good. It is also Zhang Xianzhong's prestige.
Now Zhang Xianzhong may have had an accident, just a possibility, which suddenly made these soldiers not think about the battle.
Seeing this, Ao Bai secretly said in his heart: "I saw someone shot early today, is this person Zhang Xianzhong?" As soon as this thought came to him, Aobai's heart "oh" jumped, and he realized that this was a great achievement. Looking at Zhang Xianzhong's eyes in the camp of the Chinese army, it became even hotter, and it seemed that he could roast people. He smelled the taste of victory even more.
When Ao Bai tried his best to urge his subordinates to storm Zhang Xianzhong's Chinese army camp, another person also discovered the subtlety of the situation.
This person is Li Dingguo.
"This battle is lost." Although Li Dingguo didn't want to think like this in his heart, he also knew that there was no room for redemption now. In fact, Li Dingguo had this premonition from the beginning, after all, before the war started, it was never a good sign to defeat the boss first. And Sun Kewang's level is not as good as Zhang Xianzhong.
Defeat was also expected.
Now that the defeat has been decided, Li Dingguo is about to focus on how to bring out more people from the Great Western Army, which are the capital of their four brothers. Li Dingguo's eyes swept across the entire battlefield, and suddenly settled on one of the generals, it was the main general Gebuku opposite him.
"I need to win a game before I can retreat." Li Dingguo made up his mind.
