Tongguan was broken, Wang Yan convened the generals, after hasty discussion, Wang Shixiu as the vanguard, Liu Fangliang deputy, led the rampage of the horse army of 30,000, dragoon army of 30,000, a total of 60,000 horses, majestic and high-spirited from Tongguan, covering the sky to the pass.
After Tang Tong fled Tongguan in a hurry, the defense line in Guanzhong had collapsed, and after the Ming army entered the pass in a big way, Wang Yan did not think that Jin Guo still had any chance.
In Wang Yan's opinion, if Haoge is unwilling, then there should be a wild wave war between Mingjin and Chang'an east of Chang'an.
This is exactly what Wang Yan wants, otherwise the main force of the Jin State will flee into the Longyou and Hexi corridors and continue to confront the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty will still have to spend great efforts to solve this threat.
Of course, if Hauge is smart and knows how to give up, seeing the loss of Tongguan, he should plan to retreat now.
Wang Yan was more worried about the latter, fearing that the Jin army would abandon the Guanzhong Plain and occupy the surrounding heights.
In that way, geographically speaking, there is no place for Longyou and Yongliang, and after the Ming army occupies Chang'an, Guanzhong is still very dangerous. In the Tang Dynasty, Tubo and the Western Xia in the Song Dynasty could threaten Chang'an.
In order to prevent the Jin army from escaping, Wang Yan let the vanguard go first, and at the same time sent an order to the Ming army on the front line of Wuguan and Lulingguan, ordering them to break through the pass as soon as possible and hunt Chang'an with the main force.
On March 28, Wang Shixiu and Liu Fangliang galloped forward, the iron hooves were rolling, the three Qin were shaken, and Tang Tong, who fled to Huayin, was terrified when he heard the wind, and did not fight, ran 400 miles and fled to Weinan County.
On the same day, Sun Shoufa crossed Weishui and rushed to Huayin County to meet with the vanguard of the Ming army, Wang Shixiu and Liu Fangliang continued to lead troops to break through, and in only two days, they were killed in Weinan County. Tang Tong seemed to be a frightened bird, and before the Ming army arrived, he fled to Lintong County for another 200 miles.
On the first day of the first month of April, when the Ming army was chasing and killing the Jin army in a big way, Wang Yan left more than 10,000 men and horses to guard Tongguan after a little rest in Tongguan, and then led nearly 200,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of people who transported materials from Tongguan to Guanzhong.
There are mountains in the south of Tongguan, there are rivers in the north, and the pass stands in danger. After passing the pass, the two mountains are sandwiched by a ditch, and the terrain is also dangerous.
At this time, in the crooked ravine, there are the figures of the Ming army, looking down from the slopes on both sides, as if a river of blood meanders into the pass.
The Ming army marched forward continuously, crowded the ravine, the front team had already entered the ditch for forty or fifty miles, and the rear team had just left the gate. The terrain behind Tongguan is dangerous, and it will be easier to walk until it is near Huayin County.
Wang Yan's carriage could not walk such a rough road, so he wore a golden helmet and golden armor, and rode a charcoal horse with the generals to march with the army.
The striker walked all morning, and when he came to one place, his speed suddenly slowed down.
Wang Yan and the generals came over with horses, and found that there was a place in front of them, steep on both sides, the narrowest could only accommodate a single horse, and only a line of blue sky could be seen as far as the eye could see, and their hearts couldn't help but be shocked.
"Is there any other road around the neighborhood?" Wang Yan grabbed the reins of the horse and couldn't help asking.
This kind of danger makes it difficult for people to have a sense of safety, and Wang Yan's mind immediately popped up Sima Yi was in the upper valley, and Cao Mengde was in Huarong Dao, so he was afraid to smile, and an ambush suddenly appeared above.
Wang Yan's marches generally avoid this kind of terrain, but there are only a few ways to enter the pass, and Tongguan is not bad, so he has no other choice.
Li Guo hit the horse and approached Wang Yan, "There is a trail, but it is more difficult to walk than here." Li Guo seemed to understand what Wang Yan meant, raised his head and pointed to the top of the mountain and said: "Don't worry, the prison country is at ease, and a large number of scouts will be sent to the top of the mountain, there are our people on the top of the mountain, and there are scouts along the way to investigate, if there is a problem, the scouts will immediately send a signal." β
Wang Yan looked up, and saw the figure of the Ming army on the top of the mountain and the slope of the mountain twice, and then he was relieved, and couldn't help but look at Li Guo with satisfaction, "Buzhi is very familiar with the nearby terrain!" β
"The minister was a thief back then, and he suffered a big defeat again, so he is more familiar with the terrain around Tongguan, and he has some understanding of the places where he can set up ambushes, and he has also sent people to investigate!" Li Guo rode back on his horse.
Wang Yan was slightly stunned, and then remembered that in the spring of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou ordered Sun Chuanting to set up a triple ambush in the south of Tongguan, Cao Bianjiao and others forced Li Zicheng into Tongguan, killing Li Zicheng's corpse like a mountain, almost the whole army was wiped out, and finally only 18 horsemen broke out and fled into Shangluo Mountain.
Wang Yan snapped his forehead, thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the mountains on both sides again, and saw the Ming army scouts scattered on the mountainside and the top of the mountain, so he was a little relieved.
Wang Yan nodded, Li Guo's battle was relatively stable, he believed that he would not plant another heel here, besides, the vanguard had already entered the customs, his army plus the people were at least four or five hundred thousand, and the Jin army chose a risk to intercept and succeed, and if he wanted to ambush so many people, the Jin army was afraid that there were not so many troops.
Wang Yan felt a little more at ease, and twitched his horsewhip, "Let the army be faster and pass through here quickly." β
The dangerous place is not too long, and the vision is only five miles away.
After passing the danger, Wang Yan was relaxed, turned around and pointed at the first line of heaven that had just passed with a horsewhip and said with a smile: "If you are lonely, if you are Haoge, there is an ambush here, and if you are in chaos, you will die alone!" β
Li Guo said with a smile: "Haoge is an ambush, and he will be discovered by the scouts first, how can the Jin army have a chance to hurt the prison country?" β
Wang Yan laughed, beat the horse and walked with the army, and at dusk, the vanguard of the army finally came out and approached Huayin County, and the terrain became relatively easy to walk.
At this time, a few miles away from Huayin County, on a hill covered by dense forests, two Jin army scouts were looking at the county seat in the distance, only to see the Ming army enter the county seat in a mighty way.
In the distance, a figure of a golden helmet and golden armor, wearing a red cloak, riding a charcoal horse under the escort of hundreds of elite horsemen, is even more conspicuous.
The two Jin army scouts glanced at each other, quickly left the hill, and ran towards the foot of the mountain, and a scout guarding the war horses moved out six horses, and the three of them turned over their horses and galloped south.
The Jin army scouts walked for more than forty miles in one go, and it was already dark before returning to Bai Guangen's temporary camp.
The scouts of the Ming army often went out for twenty or thirty miles, and the search range was extremely wide, which was one of the reasons why Bai Guangen did not approve of ambushing Wang Yan at the beginning.
He had read the martial arts book stolen from the Ming Kingdom by the Jin Kingdom. From military training, marching to building camps, there are regulations, one of which is to release the probe horses first at each place, which is written in the booklet, and it is said that every Ming army officer has a copy in his hand.
Because of this, it was difficult for the Ming army to be ambushed, and Bai Guangen could only hide forty miles away from Huayin County and the official road to avoid being discovered by the Ming army scouts.
Bai Guangen was also one of the general soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in Wu Sangui and Tang Tong, and he was also in Jinzhou when the eight general soldiers came to aid, and his ability was still very strong.
The three scouts returned to the camp, first said the code, and then entered the camp to report to the leader, and the scouts took them to Bai Guangen's tent to report.
"Open the military gate, the main force of the Ming army has left Tongguan and arrived in Huayin County!"
Bai Guangen perked up when he heard this, "Did you see the king thief?" β
"See, the golden helmet and golden armor and the charcoal horse are undoubtedly the king's thieves! He has entered Huayin County! β
Bai Guangen couldn't help but be slightly excited, "This guy is still so swaggering!" β
A general on the side was also a little excited, and hugged his fists and said: "Military Gate, the king thief has arrived in Huayin and entered Guanzhong, are we now immediately inserting into the first line of heaven and cutting off the retreat of the Ming army?" β
Bai Guangen shook his head, "It's not time yet, you have to wait for the king thief to continue westward and leave Huayin." We only have 10,000 men, and now we are going out to find death. β
If the main force of the Ming army is in Huayin, Bai Guangen rushed out at this time, which is indeed looking for death, and it will affect Haoge's plan. Wang Yan will definitely destroy Bai Guangen first, and he will not rush west.
General Jin was slightly stunned, and then asked: "Junmen, we only need a month's military rations, and now we have used up a small half, if the king thief stays in Huayin and doesn't leave, what should we do?" β
Bai Guangen pursed his lips, "Don't worry, if nothing happens, the king thief will soon enter Chang'an." β
