Chapter 1105: The Great Victory Pass, the War Begins

The sun was in the middle of the sky, and the scorching sun shone down, and soon, the iron armor on his body was so hot that he could make cakes, and he couldn't wear it.

The soldiers began to line up in front of the Great Victory Pass, armored buns piled up at the front of the line, and everyone was gasping for breath with their mouths wide open. Thousands of flags were lazily hoisted low, and it was impossible to tell which force it was.

There was a strong smell of sweat in the team, and it really soared into the sky!

Sweat ran down his face, and Azig stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, so salty.

God, it's so hot. I think that when the army set out from Beijing, there was still goose feathers and heavy snow in the sky, but now it has become like this. In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and even lice have grown in the armor. Originally, I thought that after killing Li Zicheng, it would be easy to take Nanjing by the way, but I didn't want the war to drag on, so I dragged it out until mid-May.

It's just early summer, and if it's midsummer, what's the point? There is no need to fight, the plague alone is enough to kill all the warriors of Jianzhou.

Duoduo, you bastard boy, how many days have passed, why haven't you taken Yangzhou yet? If Yangzhou arrives, with the cowardly nature of a Han dog, I am afraid that I will abandon Nanjing and flee long ago, and I will sit in Nanjing to enjoy the coolness. It's all your fault, kid, when I see someone in the future, I have to shame you in person!

The clothes have been completely soaked with sweat, ** sticking to the skin, very uncomfortable, it feels like there are thousands of insects crawling on the body. Azig didn't know how much water he had drunk or how much he was sweating, but at this moment he felt a little fluttering on his body, and when he moved slightly, there was a sound of water in his stomach.

"It's so uncomfortable." Azig couldn't hold back any longer, and he didn't care about the majesty of the commander of the first army, and suddenly ripped off the silk shirt on his body, revealing his chest full of black chest hair.

The upper echelons of Jianzhou and the elite soldiers were accustomed to wearing a silk garment close to their bodies, which was the habit of the Mongol cavalry that dominated the world back then. Dressed in silk clothing, once shot by an enemy arrow, the soft and flexible silk can wrap the arrow and the barb on it in its entirety, and can be easily removed when healing without digging up a large piece of meat. Moreover, silk prevents rust and dirt from the arrows from entering the body, knowing that the soldiers who die from suppurating wounds are several times more likely to die directly on the battlefield.

As soon as I opened my chest, suddenly, a cool breeze hit, which was refreshing.

"Whew" and all the flags were unfurled.

The wind was so strong that even in the humid Jiangnan, it still blew a large cloud of dust into the sky.

Azig subconsciously looked up at the sky, and found that the sun no longer knew when it could not be seen, and there were large clouds in the sky, which quickly gathered and dispersed.

The wind blows from the side of Niushou Mountain, from the side of Yuhuatai, from the vast hilly area of the south of the Yangtze River, and the whirring wind is getting louder and louder, just like a giant hand shaking the earth and the mountains of the hills in the distance, like a torrent of waves, under the great power of nature, tens of thousands of Jianzhou troops seem so small.

"It's so comfortable!" After a long time of heat, all the Qing army generals were extremely uncomfortable, at this moment, they all showed smiling faces, and some people who did not pay attention to etiquette even danced on horseback.

"Good color, good color, the southerners are used to this kind of stuffiness, and our Jianzhou people have just been wilted. If the Han dog takes the opportunity to fight, he may have to suffer some small losses. Now it's okay, it's finally cool, haha, God is helping us! Someone laughed.

But Azig didn't laugh, the words "good color" simply poked into his heart, so stuffy that he was about to vomit blood.

The commander of the Western Route Army, which attacked Nanjing in three ways during the Qing Dynasty, was tall, his chest was full of strong muscles, and his whole person looked like a boulder, which contained explosive power. But a pair of small eyes were full of fierce light, and the murderous aura in them seemed to be two steel knives trying to kill.

He had a nightmare yesterday morning, thinking it was a bad omen, but in fact it was the opposite, the news that Li Zicheng had been cut down almost made him go crazy with joy. Later, after listening to Zhou Banxian'er's words, he felt that the dream and reality should be reversed, the more terrible the dream, it means that it will be a great joy to greet him---- En, there should be no twists and turns in attacking the big victory pass--- the fruit is ripe, as long as you stretch out your hand, you can taste the sweet taste.

However, in the evening, damn Shang Kexi, this stupid pig was actually lit with cannons and gunpowder by the Han dog.

Without artillery, how can you attack the enemy's level?

It turned out that the dream the day before yesterday was a big murderer!

Damn God, whether it's bad or bad, please give me an indication!

……

Even if the artillery and gunpowder were burned by the Ming dog, today's general offensive must continue. It was hot when I saw it this day, and I couldn't delay it any longer. Otherwise, without waiting for the enemy to fight, our sergeants and soldiers will not be able to withstand the scorching heat in the south of the Yangtze River first, so it is better to enter Nanjing as soon as possible to rest.

This is one of them, and most importantly, because of the barrier between the river and the enemy army, there has been no news from Duoduo. How the Yangzhou side is fighting, the ghost knows. Although he sneered at Duoduo's suffering from Sunphobia Azig, and felt that Sun Yuan's Ningxiang Army could still be stronger than my Jianzhou warriors even if it was powerful, it was estimated that Duoduo was too arrogant and accidentally fell into the tricks of the Ming people in Jinan last time. If you really set up a position to fight, it is estimated that it will not be too difficult to destroy the Ningxiang army, don't the Han people like to use tricks? It's a pity that Yangzhou can't go down for a day, Azig feels that a day is not solid, this kind of thing is composed of many accidents, and the cannon was burned last night is not an accident.

In any case, it is better to take Nanjing first.

Nanjing is the capital of Hongguang Xiaoer, as long as you get it, the Jiangbei Ming army will be divided by me north of the Yangtze River, and the morale of the army will definitely be depressed, and this battle will be simple.

Therefore, early in the morning, Azig suppressed the anger in his heart, ordered the soldiers to bury the pot and cook early, and after eating their stomachs, all the armies set out and marched towards the Great Victory Pass with all their might, and arrived at the battlefield at noon.

He opened his coat so that he could welcome the cool breeze more, trying to calm his restless heart with it.

When he was irritable, next to him, Shang Kexi said worriedly: "Prince Ying, is today's decisive battle a little hasty?" The total number of our troops is 50,000, and the town navy is less than 20,000 or 30,000. Our army has no artillery, and there are few siege equipment, and if it is fought hard, I don't know how many days it will take to take it. It's not as good as ......."

Shang Kexi looked tired, his face covered in dust and ashes, and he sat on his horse and staggered, looking extremely depressed.

"Oh, what do you think about it, just go back and stop fighting?" Seeing him, Azig could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, and scolded: "Shang Kexi, if you hadn't been attacked by the enemy last night and lost all your firearms, our army would have been so passive?" Now he is telling me to retire from the army, hehe, to put it lightly, the weather is so hot, I can't wait to stay here and feed the mosquitoes anymore. No artillery, no equipment, you old dog didn't make it like this. If there is no artillery, will there be no war? ”

There was a hint of sarcasm in his angry face: "When the old Han King raised his army, there was no artillery, and it was different to make you Han dogs lose their armor. What about the sharp weapons of your Phi Island, and in the end you are not cornered. Don't talk nonsense, since today's situation is caused by you, you have to solve it in the end. Wait a minute, you take the soldiers and carry the ladder for Lao Tzu to climb up the Great Victory Pass. ”

Hearing him insult Shang Kexi one by one, Shang Kexi was expressionless, but the generals of the Han army under him were all angry. But as soon as they heard that Azig was going to let the Han army carry the ladder ants to attack the city, all the people were white.

They all know the cruelty of siege warfare, and there are more than 20,000 Ming troops in Guanzhong. This group of Ming troops was different from the nine-sided town army they had encountered before, and they were quite tenacious. These days, they have suffered a lot in Zheng Sen's hands, and they are harassed by his small force to the point of madness. Now they have to carry the ladder to the city, and after a battle, the Han army does not know how many corpses will be thrown under this pass, and the vitality will inevitably be greatly damaged.

"What, scared?" Azig glanced at the generals of the Han army and sneered: "It's all a bunch of useless stupid pigs, afraid of dead ghosts." ”

A Han army general finally couldn't help it: "Lord Wang, I'm not afraid of sacrifice." But if it is a hard fight, once it loses, I am afraid that the morale of our Northeast soldiers will be lost......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was whipped in the face by Azig.

Azig didn't even look at this blood-covered lackey: "Defeat, anyway, it's your Han dog's people who die, and it's about my Jianzhou warriors." He said to his next general: "Wait a minute, you bring a thousand men and horses to the rear of the battle, if they dare to retreat, no matter who they are, what officials, they will all be killed!" ”

Shang Kexi shook his head, and said weakly to his opponent: "Don't talk nonsense, go down and prepare, and enter the battle after half an hour." Don't be afraid of the dead, even if you run out of troops, you can't stop attacking. ”

This is already a resentful statement.

Azig said coldly: "I don't care how many people you die, I just need a big victory." He also ordered: "Go and inform Wu Sangui that his cavalry will strengthen my vigilance on the side of Niushou Mountain to prevent the Han dogs from outflanking and outflanking, and the Han people are treacherous and like to engage in conspiracy and trickery the most." ”

In fact, the battlefield of Dashengguan is actually relatively small, but it is the area of the Qinhuai River from the Yangtze River to the east of Niushou Mountain.

Dasheng Pass was originally a wharf, close to the Yangtze River, and the construction of customs defenses began here from the Sui and Tang dynasties. After more than 1,000 years of construction, it can be called a majestic pass. If you want to enter Nanjing from the west, if you don't take the waterway, you have to pass through here, and there is no room for detours. Even if you take the waterway, if a naval army is placed on the side of Dasheng Pass, you can easily intercept the enemy ship. Therefore, Dashengguan is the place where Nanjing must rush to the west.

In this way, there is no reason to guard against the Ming army's roundabouts, and Azig was already suspicious of Wu Sangui, so he simply sent him aside as a spectator.

This is also the result of Shang Kexi's slander, and he should have felt happy. But at this moment, Guan Ningjun was blowing a cool breeze on the side, while his Han army was constantly throwing himself into the place of death, and it really smelled of lifting a stone and hitting his own feet.

Not only is it gratifying, but the other Han generals are also full of bitterness and pale faces. At this time, suddenly, someone shouted: "Dasheng Pass, the Ming army is out, the Ming army is out." The voice was full of joy. (/)
