Li Guoying has always been calm and steady, how can such a big thing as a breakthrough of more than 100,000 troops be rash! The reason why Li Guoying chose to go down the river was actually that he had already prepared. Compared with several other roads, going south to Yungui, Li Guoying is really not at ease with Wu Sangui, he does not dare to bet his net worth on Wu Sangui; Walking north on the plank road out of Sichuan, and worrying about being ambushed halfway, Guangyuan was attacked, which proved the strength of the Western Expeditionary Army. The only road left to get out of the river is to the east.

However, the road to the east was not so smooth, and Li Guoying knew that the Kuidong Righteous Army would inevitably intercept it halfway, so he notified the Qing troops in Hubei and Shaanxi in advance to respond.

As long as the Qing army fights this battle well, it can not only relieve the siege of the Qing army in Sichuan, but also wrap the dumplings of the righteous army, annihilate a large number of righteous troops, seriously weaken the strength of the Kuidong righteous army, and lay a good foundation for the Qing army to enter Sichuan next time.

At the same time that Zhang Changgeng led the Qing army of the Hubei Green Camp to meet Li Guoying along the river, the generals of the Ganshan Qing Army, such as He Busuo, Surma, Yue Zhenbang, Ma Jinliang, and Bai Bin, also came down from the north, and together with Li Guoying and Zhang Changgeng, they would form a three-sided attack on the Kuidong Righteous Army. Once Li Guoying's plan succeeds, the Qing army can not only reverse the defeat, but also put the righteous army in danger!

The deputy commander of the capital, He Busuo, and Aobai's nephew Surma led the Eight Banners Army and marched on the mountain roads of Sichuan.

The mountain road is very dangerous, and when fighting in this terrain, the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry cannot play a role at all, and can only be used as infantry. However, the Ganshan Eight Banners are still relatively elite Eight Banners, and their combat power in dismounting and foot combat is not bad. Especially good shooting.

According to the information provided by Li Guoying, there were no other Ming troops operating in Wushan from the Hanzhong area. The Qiongzhou Western Expeditionary Army, which had the strongest combat effectiveness in the Sichuan Ming army, should have been operating from western Sichuan to northern Sichuan, and even if their spies knew about Li Guoying's breakthrough plan, it would be impossible for them to rush over so quickly to intercept the Ganshan Qing army.

But a miracle happened: an ambush soldier hid in Yanhe Mountain, the road that the Qing army must pass, waiting!

This ambush army is Wang Jinzhong's Western Expeditionary Army. When Li Guoying gave up Yucheng. The Western Expeditionary Army marched day and night, and it took only nine days to march nearly 1,000 miles from western Sichuan to Yucheng. Originally, the Western Expeditionary Army was ready to bite Li Guoying's ass and chase and kill in the back, but later the spies discovered the Ganshan Qing Army going south, so after receiving the spies' fast horse report, the Western Expeditionary Army marched at a speed of 100 miles a day for five days, rushed in front of the Ganshan Qing Army, and set up an ambush on the way through which the Qing Army must pass.

In half a month, the march was more than 1,300 miles. This is simply an army of miracles of God! The Mongol cavalry that swept across Eurasia marched no more than a hundred miles a day, and that was still the speed of changing horses and riding on the plains! But this amazing army, with just its own two legs, created such a miracle on a rugged mountain road! Such a miracle can only be done by an even more miraculous army in later generations.

It has to be said that the mountain army, armed with god-like thoughts, is a magical army that has repeatedly performed miracles. In order to defend their hard-won interests, bought with blood and lives. Each of them is extremely brave, not afraid of death or tiredness. Able to endure difficulties that ordinary people cannot endure. They were originally mountain people who grew up in the mountains, including Han people and people of all ethnic groups in the south, who adapted to life in the mountains since they were young, and marched in the mountains like flying.

A total of more than 15,000 troops left the western Sichuan base area on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, and arrived in Yucheng on February 1. More than 3,000 people were left behind on the way, and more than 500 were killed or injured on the way. The main army waited in Yucheng for a day and a night, and more than 2,000 soldiers who had fallen behind caught up one after another. After that, more than 13,000 troops set out again, and after a five-day march, this time because of the increase in fatigue. More than 4,000 people were left behind, and more than 800 were killed or wounded on the road, and only more than 8,000 people finally arrived at the ambush site to wait for the Qing army.

After the Western Expeditionary Army arrived at the ambush site of Yanhe Mountain, Daning, after the rapid march, the Qing army had not yet arrived. The Western Expeditionary Army rested here for a day and a night, regained their strength, and began to set up an ambush.

The terrain of Daning is complex, belongs to the junction of Daba Mountain and Maolu Mountain, the lofty mountains and mountains with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters to more than 2,000 meters are all over the territory, the Daning River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, passes through the river valley with an altitude of only more than 100 meters, an official road bends along the river valley, and there are thousands of meters of high mountains on both sides.

"Take two hundred steps back along the official road and set up an ambush!" After receiving the information sent by the scouts, Wang Jinzhong gave an order.

Although the Qing army did not feel that the Western Expeditionary Army had such a fast marching speed and could "fly" over to intercept them, the Qing army was still very careful when marching, and there were scouts exploring the road in front of the road; When encountering dangerous terrain, they will also explore the way to high places and on both sides, so in order to successfully ambush the Qing army, they cannot lie in ambush too close to the official road.

The officers and men of the Western Expedition formed a formation along the mountain road, set up an ambush behind the hillside about 300 steps away from the official road, and patiently waited for the arrival of the Qing army.

I don't know how long I waited, but a scout came to report softly: "Report to your lord! The Tartars are coming! ”

"Everyone ambush, don't be discovered by the Tartar scouts!" Wang Jinzhong asked people to pass the order.

The Qing scouts slowly searched all the way on the hills on both sides of the river valley, and when they encountered a suspicious place, they also shot a few light arrows into the grass not far away, and carried out fire reconnaissance, trying to test whether there were ambushes.

The ambush position of the Western Expeditionary Army was not on the top of the hill, but behind the hillside. The Qing scouts who patrolled all the way along the top of the hill did not find the ambush hidden in the grass. Occasionally, a few light arrows flew out more than two hundred paces under the action of the mountain wind, and one of the arrows happened to hit the arm of a soldier.

The light arrows that fell were not very powerful, but they still burrowed into the arms of the soldiers.

The wounded soldier of the Western Expedition endured the pain and did not make a sound. This is an army with iron discipline, everyone will remain motionless like a stone without the order of the superior officer, and once the order to attack is given, they will quickly attack the target like a cunning rabbit.

The Qing scouts passed through and saw that the most dangerous hills found no threat. The scouts released a fireworks signal to inform the main force of the Qing army behind to pass.

Just after the Qing scouts signaled "road safety ahead", the grass underground was lifted, and several figures pushed open the wooden planks covering their heads and drilled out of the individual pits underground. Only a slight "hands-on" command was heard, and these green figures rushed like lightning towards the Qing army scouts a few steps away.

"Whoosh" crossbow arrows shoot out with the sound of the wind. The arrowhead coated with arrow poison wood was highly poisonous, and the arrow pierced into the neck of the Qing soldier, and the back of the heart. These Qing soldiers didn't have time to react at all, they all fell to the ground, their faces quickly turned black, black blood flowed from the corners of their mouths, and they turned into corpses on the ground.

"The Tartar Scouts have been eliminated!" The night of success does not send and send out the code.

After receiving the signal, on the back slope behind the angular line of the mountain, a group of figures wearing branches and blades of grass and grass rings on their heads suddenly appeared in the grass. Like a cunning rabbit, he quickly moved to the top of the mountain. These people moved very quickly, and it took them less than a minute to enter the ambush position on the hilltop of the hill, which was more than 200 steps away.

Wang Jinzhong pointed to a boulder protruding from the top of the mountain: "Bury a few gunpowder canisters underneath here!" ”

Several soldiers dug up the earth under the boulder, buried five gunpowder canisters under the stones, connected the fuse, and quickly evacuated.

Not far away, on the top of the mountain, there is also a messy pile of mountain rocks. Dozens of soldiers took iron chisels and pickaxes and dug up the earth. Pry the stone and push it to the edge of the cliff. Back on the hill. A group of auxiliaries climbed up the hill panting, carrying the wolf fangs that had just been created not long ago. Soon a craftsman came up, installed the winch, and fixed the wolf's tooth paddle with thick hemp rope.

The gunners, carrying eight-pounder mortars, set up artillery positions on the hilltops.

The musketeer opens the tinder jar, lights the rope, and hangs it on the trigger of the bird's gun. Bird guns filled with gunpowder projectiles protruded from the top of the hill. Aligned with the avenue at the foot of the mountain.

The archer removes the bow and arrows, places the feathered arrows on the bowstring, and immediately pulls the bowstring at the command to do so.

On the road in the Daning River valley, the completely unsuspecting Qing army was slowly marching south along the official road. As long as they walk for another day. can cut off the back road of the Kuidong Righteous Army and complete the encirclement of the Kuidong Righteous Army with Li Guoying. At that time, not only Li Guoying can be saved, but Li Laiheng and they will be surrounded by the Qing army.

Yue Zhenbang, an officer of the vanguard of the Qing army, rode a bad horse eliminated by the Eight Banners Army and led more than 1,000 green battalion infantry on the mountain road. Don't look at this Yue Zhenbang is still just a small Yongtai battalion garrison, but he is a famous general of the Qing Dynasty in the future! This person is said to be the eighteenth grandson of Yue Lin, the son of Yue Fei, after Yue Wumu, and the father of Yue Shenglong, a famous general of the Qing Dynasty, and the grandfather of Yue Zhongqi, a famous general during the Yongzheng period of Kangxi.

Speaking of Yue Zhenbang, it is also a shame for Yue Fei, his grandfather and father turned out to be generals of the Ming Dynasty, but after the Qing army entered the customs, Yue Zhenbang took the initiative to join the Qing army, and became a despised Han Jian for the tiger, his hands were stained with the blood of the anti-Qing heroes, and his son Yue Shenglong, although he was young at this time, had already joined the Qing army, but this time he did not follow his father to go on the expedition.

A rifled gunner had already picked up his gun and aimed at Yue Zhenbang, who was riding an inferior horse. In the eyes of this nameless gunman, the Qing army officer in front of him was no different from other Qing army officers, and they were all targets under his gun.

When the Qing army entered the firing range, Wang Jinzhong shouted: "Fight!" ”

The small flag on the hill waved, and the soldiers of the Western Expedition who had been ordered began to move one after another, some lit the fuse under the boulder, some pry the messy mountain rock, and some released the wolf's tooth slap, the archer pulled the bow and arrow, and the bird gun pulled the trigger.

The first person to react was the unknown rifled gunner, because his marksmanship was relatively average, and Liu Baorui, Chen Shuigen and others could not be compared at all, and he did not have much record before, only killed a few petty officials such as the general and the chief, and sniped a few nameless soldiers. This time, he set his sights on Yue Zhenbang, and the Qing army Wupin garrison who was encased under his gun was the highest-ranking officer he had targeted since he entered the war.

The "bang" rifled gun spewed out a ball of fire, and white smoke came out of the muzzle.

However, at a distance of 80 paces, using a rifled gun with a scope, if it does not hit the target, then the rifled gunner can really change his career!

The high-speed spinning buckshot drilled into the collarbone under Yue Zhenbang's neck, a little above the heart guard. The bullet shattered the collarbone, tore the lobe of the lung, and pierced the back, leaving a hole-sized hole in the back. Yue Zhenbang, who was shot, crooked his neck and fell off his horse.

In fact, this nameless gunman was originally aiming at Yue Zhenbang's head, but his marksmanship was too ordinary, and when the bullet went out, it hit the lower part of the neck. However, Yue Zhenbang was so seriously injured, with the medical technology of this era, he didn't want to live.

Yue Zhenbang, the later famous general of the Qing court, an executioner whose hands were stained with the blood of anti-Qing heroes, died under the gun of an unknown junior.

Yue Zhenbang was seriously injured by a shot and fell off his horse, and the vanguard of the Qing army was suddenly leaderless. At this moment, the stones on the mountain rolled down one after another and smashed on the official road, smashing the Qing soldiers crying and calling their mothers.

The boulder on the top of the "boom" mountain was blown to pieces, turned into a large piece of stone, fell from the cliff, and smashed into the crowd of Qing troops, and suddenly raised a large area of blood.

Stones the size of the wolf's teeth and grinding plates fell from the mountains one after another, and a large number of Qing soldiers immediately fell on the official road.

With the sound of several mortar shots, the flowering shells rose into the air, rose to the highest air, and then fell into the valley and exploded. At the same time, the bird's projectiles and feather arrows on the hill shot down in rows, hitting the Qing soldiers with their heads in their hands.

"Ambush! Run! The Qing soldiers were crushed, and they threw away their weapons and turned to flee for their lives, trying to escape from this dangerous place.

The feather arrows on the top of the "whoosh" mountain rained down like a torrential rain, and hundreds of Qing soldiers were shot into hedgehogs. In the end, there were few Qing soldiers who managed to escape from danger.

"Oh no, my lord! We are in ambush! The vanguard garrison Lord Yue was martyred! Several Qing soldiers, covered in blood, fled back in confusion and reported to the Chinese army's Eight Banners general, Hebuso.

Hobusso was taken aback: "When did the thieves get here?" ”

Surma said: "My lord! But there are only a few thieves, so why be afraid! Our army should rush through the thieves as soon as possible! ”

Although Sulma's official rank is not as high as that of Hebusso, he is Aobai's nephew, and Hebusso still has to give him face. Hearing Surma say this, Hobusso immediately sent an order: "Order the three armies, attack with all your might!" Be sure to disperse the thieves ahead! ”

The Qing army came up from the flank and launched a fierce attack along the slope of the hill to the west of the hill where the expeditionary army was stationed.

On the hill, artillery stones flew sideways, arrows were like locusts, and lead bullets were like rain, and the Western Expeditionary Army, which occupied the favorable terrain, was condescending, and the attacking Qing army was heavily wounded, and the hillside was full of corpses of the Qing army.

"Bang bang" A few explosions of gunpowder gas, mortar shells rose into the air and landed in the crowd of Qing troops at the foot of the mountain. The shells exploded into fireballs, and the Qing soldiers crowded on the mountain road suddenly fell in large numbers.
