Chapter Forty-Nine: The Bloody Battle of Phoenix Slope II
Chapter 49 Bloody Battle Phoenix Slope II
Li Dingguo immediately made a decision and did what he said. Let the soldiers open the camp gate, and lead hundreds of riders to gallop down from the Phoenix Slope.
Li Dingguo rushed very suddenly, and even many of Li Dingguo's subordinates did not react. It has already penetrated into the Qing army. The soldiers of the Eight Banners, who were attacking on their backs, couldn't parry for a while. He retreated in an uproar.
Taken aback, Gebuku drew his knife in his hand, and slashed several of his pawns in succession. But he couldn't stop the formation from loosening.
Gebuku turned on his horse and met him with dozens of guards.
The military law of the Qing army was extremely harsh. Generals who have lost the battle will be dismissed from their posts or beheaded at worst. Not to mention, at this moment, it was the peak of the Eight Banners, and the military law was even stricter, and when Gebuku thought of the consequences of defeat, he gritted his teeth and rushed forward.
The two parties collided together, and Li Dingguo had already prepared. But after three blows and two blows, a knife flew and slashed at Gebuku.
Gebuku is also very agile, blocking with a backhand. But I don't want this knife to come too fast and too heavy, Li Dingguo was originally a general, at this moment from the mountain down, and with horsepower, a knife slashed, at least 100 catties of strength, although Gebuku blocked the blade, but couldn't parry this force, the whole was overturned to the ground, and fell under the horse.
In the melee, as soon as the general fell off his horse, Li Dingguo didn't look at it, trampled the horse, and after hundreds of horsemen rushed through, only a mess of mud remained. Only armor and weapons can recognize who this person is?
As soon as Gebuku died, the morale of the soldiers of the Eight Banners suddenly declined, but there was a group of people who didn't care about it, and rushed up as if they were sent to death, not caring about their own lives at all, and insisting on fighting for their lives, these people were none other than Gebuku's personal guards.
According to military law, the main general will die in battle, and the personal guards will never survive, and even the family will be implicated. If you die in battle at this moment, although you will not be punished, at least the disaster will only be you, and your family may not be implicated.
It's just that Li Dingguo didn't think about what these people thought, since they dared to fight hard, Li Dingguo dared to kill.
The confrontation between the two sides is slow to say, but it is actually very fast. In the collapse of Gebuku's headquarters, Li Dingguo chased after the routed soldiers and killed Haoge.
When they saw each other left and right, they were shocked. The guards stepped forward one after another, and one Gebuku died, and Gebuku's personal guards all begged for death. Now, if Haug had three longs and two shorts, even if Dorgon laughed secretly in his heart, he would definitely go on a killing spree to show his close uncle and nephew affection with Hauge.
But in a moment, Li Dingguo and Haoge's personal guards handed over.
Haoge's face remained unchanged, he rode on his horse, pointed at Li Dingguo with a horsewhip and said, "Who is General Li?" ”
Li Jinzhong looked at it and immediately said: "It's Li Dingguo, the righteous son of Zhang Thief." ”
Hauge smiled slightly and said, "Sure enough, the fierce general, someone is coming." ”
"The minions are here." Immediately several people popped up.
Haoge randomly ordered one and said: "Go and recruit Li Dingguo, and tell him that as long as he is willing to submit to this king, this king will give him a chief military officer." “
The servant agreed, then rode forward dozens of steps, and shouted loudly: "General Li, good birds choose trees to perch, good generals choose masters, my prince is thirsty for talent, as long as General Li is willing to vote, my prince is willing to give him a ---- as a chief soldier."
Before he finished speaking, Li Dingguo broke off a spear and threw the tip of the spear, like a javelin, leaping dozens of steps, hitting this minion. Immediately flipped off the horse, could no longer move, and the dead could not die again.
Li Dingguo looked at Haoge's Daxu and was about to add more strength to kill him, but he was stopped by Wu Sanxing behind him, only to hear Wu Sanxing say loudly: "The prince should go, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave." ”
Li Dingguo looked back, but his impact on Haoge's own formation was like stabbing a hornet's nest, the Qing army everywhere, whether it was the Eight Banners or the Han army, all rushed wildly, and there were only thousands of men and horses under his command, if he walked slowly, he would be made dumplings.
He sighed in his heart, and looked at Hauge deadly, above his distance, he could only see the outline of the person, but he couldn't see what the appearance was. He said categorically: "Go." ”
Li Dingguo still understands the truth of making a decision on the spot.
Li Dingguo had just left on the front foot, and the Qing army from all walks of life had arrived. Ao Bai and the others knelt beside Hauge and said loudly: "The servants and others are not doing well, so that the master is frightened. Please also ask the master to punish him. ”
Hauge squinted his eyes and asked, "Where is Gebuku?" ”
There was no one silent for a long time, and only then did one of them whisper: "The slave seems to have seen Gebuku fall from his horse." ”
Hauge sighed in his heart, knowing that this Gebuku probably couldn't live anymore. Since the Qing army entered the customs, there are not many generals who have been damaged, and the real losses are serious after all, that is, the battle of Tongguan, the battle with Xiangyang, but I don't want to Zhang Xianzhong is not a soft persimmon now, this just clashed, and a general was broken.
Haoge only pondered for a moment, and then immediately said: "You don't have to worry about this king, the reason why Li Dingguo attacked was just to retreat, you immediately go back and urge the people and horses of the headquarters to besiege the thief army." Remember that one of the three is missing. ”
"Yes." Hauge gave an order, and all the troops were dispatched one after another. Apply pressure from all sides. On the Phoenix Slope, the positions of the Great Western Army were repeatedly breached, and the entire formation was shaken.
Seeing this, Sun Kewang immediately sent a correspondence to Liu Wenxiu and Ainengqi, and took the people of the headquarters and some officials of the Chinese army in Zhang Xianzhong. Turn around and go. Originally, the Great Western Army could support it for a while, but Sun Kewang was defeated when he left. There is no room for redemption.
As soon as Li Dingguo returned to the camp, he saw this deputy soldier in chaos.
Li Dingguo also knew that Sun Kewang's decision looked a little decisive, but in this case, it was the best decision. So Li Dingguo tried his best to gather the defeated troops and chased Sun Kewang in the direction of escape. Naturally, the Qing army would not let them go. Almost all the cavalry were released, as if they were wolves, biting and fighting repeatedly.
That is, Li Dingguo was the last, after the bloody battle was broken. These people can be considered to have escaped.
Even so, from the Phoenix Slope between Xichong and Yanting chased hundreds of miles, passed several cities without entering the grain and grass, and lost everything. The Great Western Army was strewn with corpses all over the field. After this war, the Great Western Army, as an independent regime, was on the verge of being removed.
Haoge wanted to chase again, but it was close to Chongqing.
As far as the Qing court itself is concerned, it is still relatively jealous of Xia Jun. Haoge discussed with the people around him, and Man Dahai said: "The imperial court ordered the prince to attack Sichuan, but it was for the sake of the upper reaches. This summer's army is besieging Chongqing very urgently, and once Chongqing is used by Xia, even if it is based in Sichuan, it cannot easily enter Chu. The lower official asked the prince to chase after the thief army. Directly to Chongqing. Persuade Zeng Ying to surrender. ”
"Then what if Zeng Ying doesn't fall?" Ao Bai said: "I waited for the party to enter Sichuan, first a big war, although the battle was a big victory, but has not yet gained a firm foothold, once Chongqing Zeng Ying does not surrender, the battle of Chongqing, into the battle of Xuzhou, how to deal with it?" In the opinion of a minion. It is better to sweep away the remnants of the Ming Dynasty first, integrate Sichuan, and then fight with the Xia army in Chongqing, seize the land of eastern Sichuan, and enter the Chu land. ”
Hauge originally wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue. This is also in line with Hauge's character, but after listening to Aobai's words, his heart suddenly sank, and he understood who the court Aobai was talking about? It's Dolgon.
Eat a trench and grow wise, Haoge is not a reckless person, there was Huang Taiji at the beginning, and he didn't have to worry about many things, but he didn't expect Huang Taiji to die so suddenly, so that the throne in his hand flew into the hands of others. Such a setback can make Hauge remember it for a lifetime.
Hauge was willing to think a little more about Dolgon, a little more about the bad.
At this moment, he remembered the incident of Mandahai, although he was the son of Daishan, he was very close to Azig. And the three brothers of Dolgon have always been one, who is this Mandahai? Hauge thought about it in this direction, and his mind suddenly deviated a little.
Haoge thought like this, Man Dahai was secretly dissatisfied in his heart, and he said sharply, "The master is discussing matters here, what is a slave interjecting?" ”
