Chapter 126; Eight flags gathered
There was a dull sound on the ground, as if thousands of small hammers were pounding on the surface of the drum. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The air suddenly became extremely quiet, and within a radius of ten miles, flying insects and beasts disappeared. Wu Sangui felt that layers of cold sweat suddenly began to appear on his back, and he felt as if he was pricked with needles on his body, constantly alerting him: danger, is approaching.
Wu Sangui went up a small hill, and behind him was a cavalry battalion of 2,000 men and his personal guards.
This time, when the army was reorganized and restructured, Wu Sangui's Guanning Army was the key target. The Guanning Army, which claims to have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses and more than 20,000 elite soldiers and horses, has undergone this round of rectification and restructuring, and many high-ranking generals have retired in front of their retirees, and there are not a few who have changed careers to engage in business and teaching. Of course, there are also many promising people who have been rewarded and promoted, and some warriors with full combat skills have been reborn in the new army.
But no matter where you are, there will always be people who are nostalgic.
There are also some people whose interests are so fettered that they cannot be separated.
Therefore, even after rectification, Wu Sangui still retains a lot of henchmen in the Fourth Division.
Right now, these people are all gathered behind Wu Sangui, ready to do something big.
Wu Sangui looked at the soldiers behind him, both ambitious and emotional.
Ambition is for the next great cause.
sighed, but because of the Ming behind him.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Zhu Cihong's main force of the expedition was in the direction of Yaqi Pass, Wu Sangui would never have been able to bring so many soldiers and horses.
And now, Wu Sangui is a little glad for this.
"It feels good to be able to perform freely......" Wu Sangui thought of this, and quickly put aside these distracting thoughts and quietly looked at the situation in front of him.
By his side, Xia Guoxiang handed Wu Sangui a pair of glasses.
Under the monoculars, the Qing army more than ten miles away suddenly approached, and in the mountain road that was not spacious, there were dense figures, crowded among the various avenues and paths.
What's more, they directly stepped on the jungle, cut down all the miscellaneous trees that stood in the way, crossed through the mountains and forests, and appeared in the east, north, south and without exception of Salhu...... West.
Surrounded on all sides.
Seven words popped up in Wu Sangui's mind. Around him, whether it was Xia Guoxiang or more than 2,000 elite veterans who were accustomed to beating sticks, their faces were solemn, revealing extremely serious eyes.
There was no doubt that the enemy in front of them was beyond their expectations.
"Isn't the main force of Jiannu in the south, not in the direction of Crow Pass?" Xia Guoxiang couldn't help but ask.
Many generals and officials chattered about it, as if this was the only way to let them relieve some of the pressure.
"Even the so-called Queen Mother who built a slave went to the Crow Partridge Pass, how can there be troops to come here?"
"Before the war, everyone estimated that Jiannu could only fight some of the two red flags now, why, did they all come here? The crow and crow in front of him looked over, if you want to say that there are no 30,000 elite soldiers in battle, my surname Liu is written upside down! ”
"At this point, it's useless to talk about it. It's just that how is this battle going to be fought? ”
……
The discussion gradually died out in the end, and everyone's eyes fell on Wu Sangui.
At this time, they also expected that something was wrong.
The first is to bring them out at this time in Wu Sangui. It seems that Wu Sangui has already expected everything in front of him. In other words, Wu Sangui had already expected that the Qing army would appear here, not as he said before, the main force was in the direction of the Crow Pass.
Secondly, there is the topography of Salhu.
With the lake at its back, the places where the army can be stationed are dangerous. These places are easy to defend and difficult to attack, but if they are blocked here, it will be difficult to break through to the west and go back.
Surrounded by mountains on three sides, as long as people are blocked on one side, they can only dare to go into the water to feed the fish.
At last......
It was Wu Sangui who took his descendants out of the camp before the Qing people came, this move, this timing, is too strange and too coincidental.
"Brothers, I, Wu Sangui, brought you here today, and I won't talk nonsense. Just one sentence, do you have someone here who can trust my life with Wu Sangui? If it is any one, I, Wu Sangui, have the slightest grievance on weekdays, and feel that I, Wu Sangui, are not worthy of your life, now go, I will not say a word of retention, and I will not have any resentment. Wu Sangui spoke slowly, but when he came to the back, it was sonorous and powerful, word by word, as if it hit everyone's hearts.
Xia Guo was quite immediate: "I am willing to die for the general!" ”
"Why did the general say these hurtful words? My Liu She's life was taken out of the pile of dead by the general, so what if I am still on the battlefield today? ”
"The young master wants to entrust his life to me, why can't I, Nan, give this life to the young master?"
"It's ......"
Everyone responded. Among the various titles, Qi Qi is a general who is willing to give his life to Wu Sangui.
Seeing this, Wu Sangui's face was moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay! In that case, then I will issue the first military order. After today, all actions will be commanded by me, without doubt, without doubt, without delay! It must be implemented, it must be complied with, it must be recognized! After this battle, if you see that I Wu Sangui has lost you, my head, just take it! ”
"Whoa!" The crowd roared down.
Seeing this, Wu Sangui exhaled heavily, not only muttered: "Come on, come on, after a few months of wretchedness, I finally have a chance to let me vent it out for him here today!" ”
After that, Wu Sangui nodded towards Xia Guoxiang, and called several of the generals led by him to his side, and whispered in his ear, Wu Sangui watched Liu She and other generals staring at him, looking at Wu Sangui, and they were so surprised that they were speechless.
"You stay here, Xia Guoxiang, lead the guards to follow me!" Wu Sangui said and galloped away with dozens of people.
At the same time, Wakda, who received the task, also rushed to Wu Sangui and several people with people, his eyes looked at the apricot yellow flag in Xia Guoxiang's book, Wakda nodded, recognized that this was the mark of Ai Xing'a, his eyes fell on Xia Guoxiang's body, and finally, his gaze slowly shifted and fell on Wu Sangui's body.
Fortunately, there is a hill to cover it from Wu Sangui's department, otherwise, everyone will be in an uproar when they see that the two of them are not fighting in front of the battle but look like they want to talk.
Xia Guoxiang took a deep breath and said, "Dare to ask if the person who came is the envoy of the Qing Dynasty?" ”
Wakda's eyes lit up slightly, and he felt the difference. On most occasions, the Ming people have always referred to the Qing state as Jiannu. If you want the Ming people to say that the Qing Dynasty is basically some scum who surrendered.
Obviously, Xia Guoxiang looks at the latter posture.
After some introduction, Wakda named and wanted to leave the apricot yellow flag, groped, checked the imprint, and said: "That's right, I am Wakda, the Great Qing Zheng Red Banner Jia Lazhangjing." You...... Is it Xia Guoxiang? Wu Sangui's son-in-law? ”
Xia Guo correspondingly: "It's down." ”
"Hmph, then you can ask Wu Sangui for me. Wu Sangui has already agreed to defect to the battle, why do you still set up troops and horses to fight against my Daqing Erlang? ”
Wakda was violent, and Xia Guoxiang calmed down and replied: "This lord said this, he really wronged me and waited." If I really wanted to fight, I wouldn't be so open, would I? ”
"Hmph, if you don't want to surrender, you come up and don't fight me, see how you go back and explain to that Zhu Cihong!" Wakda snorted lightly, but it made Xia Guoxiang's face stiffen.
Xia Guoxiang laughed, felt the power of the person in front of him, and said helplessly: "Since this is the case, the villain doesn't dare to talk more." Please also ask Lord Wakda to know that this is my father-in-law, who is here to lead the troops to surrender! ”
After speaking, Wu Sangui's face froze, and then he squeezed out some smiles and said, "I am Wu Sangui, Lord Wakda is the son of Prince Li?" In the past, when I was in Jinzhou, I had heard of the prestige of Lord Wakda, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its name. ”
"It turns out that you are Wu Sangui!" Wakda's face froze, a little embarrassed. It's a bit embarrassing to be seen saying bad things behind someone's back. But they are all corners of life and death in the battlefield, and such a trivial matter is quickly over.
Wakda paused and said, "In that case, don't talk nonsense, you want to lead your troops to surrender?" Where are the soldiers? ”
"It's not a secret...... Wu Sangui sighed and said, "Right now, it's not the time for Guan Ningjun. Although I am in charge of the Fourth Division of the Jinwu Army, I am the main force of the trump card, with hundreds of cannons, more than 10,000 spears and guns, and millions of bullets, but such a divine weapon, the imperial court is naturally strictly controlled. So, even if I tried my best, this time I only brought out my headquarters...... Five thousand Guanning Iron Horsemen! ”
Xia Guoxiang blinked, and his father-in-law was powerful.
Two thousand soldiers, without blinking an eye, became five thousand.
When Wakda heard this, his eyes flickered.
He didn't care about the two thousand Guanning Iron Cavalry, don't look at the Guanning Iron Cavalry who were invincible in the battle against the Dengzhou Rebellion, the Buddha blocked and killed the Buddha, and it was easy to pacify. But in the face of Jiannu, it can only be said that it is worthy of a war.
The five thousand Guanning Iron Cavalry can only be said to make them understand that Wu Sangui has military strength, but it is not worthy of Wakda's surprise.
He was pleasantly surprised...... Naturally, it was the equipment of the 4th Division of the Jinwu Army.
"100 cannons, more than 10,000 spears...... Millions of bullets ......" Wakda listened to these words coming out of Wu Sangui's mouth, and his eyes were shining, as if he had seen the evil dragon of jewelry.
"Since you are willing to surrender, then this is your vote!" Hearing Wakda's narration, Daizen felt that his breathing became heavy, as if he had met a beautiful naked woman for the first time.
The crowd muttered those key words: 100 cannons, more than 10,000 spears, and millions of bullets......
To this day, if you still can't understand the power of firearms, and can't understand that the Ming officials and soldiers relied on firearms to open up a new era, then hundreds of thousands of Qing casualties will be lost in vain.
What's more, there are quite a few of them here, all of whom fled back when they fought against the Ming army.
If it was the past, the soldiers deserted and would have been pulled out to correct the military law.
But now, the Qing people are in decline, and every strength is extremely precious, not only do they not pull it out, but they think that their experience is precious.
This kind of experience has been handed down, and it is natural that it has continuously confirmed the conclusion that the Ming cannon is sharp and can be obtained from the world.
At this moment, an opportunity to get a hundred artillery pieces and tens of thousands of guns is in front of them, how can they not let these Manchu generals all breathe heavily and their eyes shine?
"Damn Nikan, since you know how important the firecrackers are, why don't you just send them over? Instead, he said this in front of us, believe it or not, I'm going to beat you up today? Ao Bai was very anxious at the moment, he roared at Wu Sangui, his eyes were as terrible as trying to eat people.
Seeing this, Wu Sangui was not in a hurry, and sighed again: "Why don't you want to?" However, the discipline in the army is strict, and it is not easy for young generals to get out. If you want to take the fourth division, you naturally have to be a Qing Dynasty athlete. ”
As he spoke, Wu Sangui pulled out the Privy Council, and said a lot about this hateful and hateful.
Indeed, if Wu Sangui couldn't give any legitimate reason but wanted to gather the equipment of the whole army and find an opportunity to pack it and send it out, then Wu Sangui, who was already suspected of being a traitor, would really be unable to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River this time, and he would not have had the opportunity to say this in front of their eyes.
After listening to what Wu Sangui said, Ao Bai was slightly proud and a little depressed.
Outwitting this kind of thing, at first glance, it is not in line with a fierce general like him.
However, Wakda's eyes suddenly brightened: "You have a way? ”
"I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in the Qing Dynasty right now? The young general does have a way, but there are many soldiers and horses, and there are many ways to have more soldiers and horses. There are few soldiers and horses, and there is a way to have fewer soldiers and horses. Wu Sangui said with a smile.
At this time, in the crowd, Ning Wan and I suddenly rushed out and said, "Wait! Obviously I am a member of the Qing Dynasty, why did I listen to you today, but I want you to drive it? If you turn around and sell us again, who can afford to be responsible? ”
As soon as I said this, the scene was a little awkward and deadly silent.
After all, Wu Sangui also surrendered before coming to the battle.
"The Lord of the King of Shu, the Ming can't afford it......" Wu Sangui was also stunned, and then slowly said: "It's Ning Wan and my Lord Ning, you are jealous that I can get the King of Shu, this is a personal grudge." Because of private abolition, this is a head-off thing. Ladies and gentlemen, if you intend to harm the Qing Dynasty, how can you come here in person? If you can't believe me, you can leave me! I'll just give orders to my soldiers. It's just that if you want to cooperate with the next plan, please don't startle the snake, so as not to lose the effect of the surprise attack! If you can't succeed in the first battle, there are orders in the army to destroy weapons, and then you can only get a bunch of broken copper and iron! ”
Wu Sangui was right, but everyone looked at Ning Wan's eyes, but they were all of a sudden.
Ning Wan I glared, I never thought that Wu Sangui could pull out such a lot in a hurry, and he wanted to say something, but when he saw Dai Shan waving his hand, Ning Wan and I were immediately pulled down by several sergeants.
Dai Shan pondered for a while and said, "Hmph, since this is the case, this king will not hide it from you." I have 200,000 soldiers in the Qing Dynasty, and now the eight banners are gathered, a fourth division, no matter how capable it is, how will it end up devouring! ”
At this time, Xia Guoxiang twitched the corner of his eyes, and then he noticed. At this moment, the whole army of the Red Flag, the Red Flag, the Blue Flag, the Blue Flag, the Yellow Flag, the Yellow Flag, the White Flag and the Eight Banners of the White Flag are all here! (To be continued.) )
