"This is a great idea!" Donnie slapped his thigh.

"Sun Kewang is in Baoqing and Hengzhou, and our army can attack him at once. Sun Kewang is in Changsha and Yuezhou, and our army can take his retreat! Force him to fight me decisively!"

"As long as we can find Sun Kewang's main force and defeat them in one battle, the world will be at peace. Not only can we make up for our mistakes, but we can also become heroes in the unification of the Qing Dynasty!"

"What the prince said is absolutely true! With our army of 10,000+ troops marching along the main road of Wugang, Sun Kewang's [-]-strong mob will surely be defeated in a single fight! Even if he joins forces with the intruders, it will be of no avail!"

Dulan and other Manchu and Mongolian generals agreed, thinking that they had a chance to win.

"Okay! Bashan, Zhuoluo!" After finalizing the plan, Donnie shouted and was about to issue a military order.

"The general is here!" The two Gu Shan'erzhen raised their hands and prepared to accept the order.

"You two will lead [-] elite cavalry, carry half a month's worth of food, and march eastward from Guiyang quickly. You must ensure the safety of Yuanzhou, Wugang and other places."

"Otherwise, if Sun Thief jumps over the wall and captures Wugang and Yuanzhou first, the situation of our army will not be good!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will defend Yuanzhou and Wugang!" Bashan and Zhuo Luo said with hands in hand.

"Ming Andali, Orosechen!" Duny spoke again.

"The general is here!" Ming Andali and Oro Saichen handed over their hands.

"You two recruit Nikans from Guiyang and other places, the more the better! Prepare to transport food and grass for the army!"

"Hey!" The two generals took the order.

"Dolan!"

"The end will be here!" Belledulan handed over his hand.

"You lead people to Zunyi to supervise the grain and grass management, and ask Li Guoying to send troops from Sichuan to Guizhou."

"This war is related to the Qing Dynasty! It is also related to the future of this king and you all!"

"Let Li Guoying go all out to transport grain, and all the Green Camp troops stationed in Sichuan, including Tan Hong and Tan Yi, will all be concentrated in the Zunyi area!" Doni solemnly said.

Although the Eight Banners despised Sun Kewang, Doni also knew that the lion would fight the rabbit with all his strength.

Sichuan's more than 1 troops are also a big help.

"Follow the order!" Belledulan also knew that the stakes were high and resolutely accepted the order.

"In this battle, I am determined to destroy the two Xishun thieves in one battle!"

Doni said boldly: "Our Qing Dynasty has 13 troops in Guizhou, and more than 1 troops in Sichuan that we can call upon!"

"Among the 10,000+ troops, except for the [-] old and weak soldiers left to guard Guiyang, the [-] green camp soldiers to guard Zunyi, and Li Guoying's supervisor and a few soldiers to guard Chongqing, the rest of the troops were all sent to Hunan, and Gu Yao and Sun Kewang fought to the death! "

"Your Majesty is wise!" the generals of the Eight Banners shouted in unison.

"Everyone, my 10,000+ army is like thunder from the sky. If you unite our army sincerely, we will be able to destroy two thieves in one battle just like Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty did at Hulao Pass in the past!"

Doni said sternly: "Therefore, I ask you to cheer up and do your best! Remember that the first battle is the decisive battle! One battle will determine the outcome! I will destroy all the old masters such as Sun Kewang, Zhang Sheng, Zhang Hu, Li Laiheng, Liu Tichun, etc." Kou!"

"The first battle is the decisive battle, and the first battle will determine the world!"

"The first battle is the decisive battle, and the first battle will determine the world!"

"The first battle is the decisive battle, and the first battle will determine the world!"

Dozens of Eight Banners generals shouted in unison, and the momentum was shocking!

……

"Baoqing!" In Changsha City, Sun Kewang knocked hard on the map on the big table.

"The two official roads from Xiangxi to Huguang both pass through Baoqing!"

"I am determined to station all 10,000+ troops in Baoqing! Fight to the death with Duny!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the generals in front of the army were extremely solemn.

"Your Majesty, if the Tatars move up the Yangtze River along the northwest of Hunan, and all the main forces of our army are stationed in Baoqing, I am afraid that Dorni and others will escape!" Zhang Sheng, the Duke of Han, frowned.

The generals of the Eight Banners were afraid that Sun Kewang would run away, and the generals in the front army were also afraid that Doni would run away.

Both sides are like the Japanese navy in later generations. They don't care about anything and are focused on seizing the opponent's main force and deciding the outcome in one battle!

"The Duke of Han is right. The northern soldiers are easy to kill, and the Tatars are poor in food and wages. If Doni goes directly north from Yuanzhou in order to save his troops, he may not be able to stop them by breaking into the camp."

"And once they escaped into Huguang with the support of the Qing army in Jingzhou, they either went north to Henan or went down the river to Wuchang."

"The main force of our army is stationed in Baoqing, and it will be difficult to stop it for a while!" Liu Tianxiu said worriedly.

"My lord, why don't I send 10,000+ troops directly to western Hunan to block the Tatars in Guizhou and fight them."

General Wang Dewang said solemnly.

"I finally know how we lost at the fork in the road." Sun Kewang glanced at the generals of the front army who were confident of winning, and cursed in his heart.

Six years ago, the reorganized Jiaqian Army was boasting without any fight against the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

To put it bluntly: Beibing is easy to kill.

They didn't take the Eight Banners soldiers seriously at all. As a result, in the battle at the fork in the road, the arrogant soldiers were defeated.

However, it is not without reason for the officers and soldiers to do so.

Xiying's record against the Qing Dynasty was actually much better than that of Chuangying. This was not only true in the late Nanming period, but also in the early Nanming period!
There were only a dozen Eight Banners generals in Li Zicheng's hands, and the tallest among them was only the deputy capital commander Sasuka who was killed in the Battle of One Stone.

In the Battle of Tongguan, only mid-level Qing generals such as Huishan and Xu Youxin were killed, and the results were very few.

However, in the Battle of Fenghuang Mountain, which was criticized and became a witness to the vulnerability of Xiying in the early stage, the Eight Kings actually took the head of Gushan Ezhen!

Qing history manuscript records: Xianzhong sent the thieves to the ring camp to resist, and Gebuku defeated the thieves' first battalion of infantry.

The thieves were divided into two wings. Hauge sent back Kezuo to lead Subai to attack the right wing, and all the troops ordered Tabatulu to attack the left wing.

The thieves came down the mountain from the right wing to attack. Gebuku led his troops to attack them and then moved from the quasi tower to the left wing.

The thieves surrounded the Zhenglan Banner soldiers. Gebuku and Zuo led Arzin, Gadakhun, Siteku, and Ubashi to come to the rescue. Gebuku was killed by an arrow, and both Siteku and Ubashi died in the formation. The thieves retreat.

Even according to the records of the Manchus themselves, the Great Western Army led by the Eight Kings fought fiercely with the Qing Army. It was definitely not what the world said. They were killed by the Qing Army with one arrow. The Western Camp was completely defeated without a fierce battle and collapsed thousands of miles away. !
According to the Manchu Qing Dynasty's own historical records, the Qing army, with the support of the rebellious Liu Jinzhong's troops, tried to sneak attack the Western Camp. Instead, the Eight Kings surrounded the Zhenglan Banner Manchu Army, and even once surrounded Haning'a, the commander of the Xiangbai Banner Guards. of men and horses.

It attracted Aobai, the commander of the Xianghuang Banner, Xunta, the commander of the Xianglan Banner, Zhunta, the commander of the Zhengbai Banner, Subai, the commander of the Zhengbai Banner's military bureau, Alzin, the deputy commander of the Zhenglan Banner, and Shier, the deputy commander of the Zhenghuang Banner. Gen and others went into battle together.

At that time, the fighting was so fierce and the Manchu elites suffered so many casualties that they were so frightened that the deputy commander of Zhenghuang Banner, Hilgen, cowered and avoided the battle.

Haning'a has always been afraid of the dangers of this battle. According to the records of the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, he once publicly declared in the "people's gathering place" that thanks to Alzin and Subai, the defeat was reversed, and the other generals, including himself, "all lost"!
In other words, the reinforcements from all walks of life, including Obai, were actually suppressed by the troops led by the Eight Kings and were unable to relieve the besieged Eight Banners soldiers.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong was recognized by Liu Jinzhong and was shot by the Qing army, which led to a reversal of the war situation.And the death of the Eight Kings was also very heroic:
Zhang Thief was hit by an arrow in the face and fell off his horse.Zhang thief rose up again, drew his bow and shot Dutong Gebuku, and then attacked again.The thieves then collapsed, and our troops turned defeat into victory.

Of course, the heroic death of the Eight Kings was not recorded in official history, but in the Manchu Qing Dynasty's own Unofficial History of Huangqing's Martial Arts.

But no matter what, at that time Xiying suffered repeated defeats and had lost all its territory.

But it was such an army that was repeatedly defeated by Yang Zhan, Zeng Ying and other Nanming warlords.

However, in the battle with the Qing army, unprecedented fighting spirit and courage broke out.

At that time, Xiying had been without food for many days, but even so, under the leadership of the Eight Kings, Gebuku's head was still taken off.

There are historical data about Gebuku that he was the commander-in-chief, and some said he was the deputy commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief.

But no matter how you say it, his head is superior to the one in Li Zicheng's hand!
Compared with Chuangying's record in the entire north, Xiying is undoubtedly much better.

It is precisely because of this that the soldiers of Xiying did not feel that the Eight Banners soldiers were scary.

Because even though they lost the battle at Phoenix Mountain, they were still proud of their defeat!
Although Zhang Sheng and other generals of the former army suffered two defeats at Fenghuang Mountain and Chakai.

But instead of feeling that the Eight Banners soldiers were scary, they felt that they had been unjustly defeated.

The Battle of Phoenix Mountain was just like a replica of the Battle of Hengyang. If Xiying had not been without food for many days and the coach was shot dead at a critical moment, the winner would most likely be Xiying!

In the Battle of the Fork Road, Zhang Sheng, Zhang Hu and other generals led the front army to defeat the Qing army camp first, and then retreated and lost because Sun Guozhu was unwilling to spend all his money.

Such two battles obviously cannot convince the generals of the front army.

Therefore, after experiencing the Battle of Phoenix Mountain, the Jiaqian Army still believed that Beibing was easy to kill!

After experiencing the Battle of the Crossroads, Zhang Sheng and others still do not take the Eight Banners soldiers seriously.

"Everyone!" Sun Kewang said seriously: "Our army was defeated by the Tatars in both battles at Fenghuang Mountain and Chakaikou! Don't be impatient in this battle!"

"Your Majesty! In the battle of Phoenix Mountain, our soldiers in the Western Camp were deprived of food for many days and lacked strength. Moreover, because of Liu Jinzhong's rebellion, Lao Wansui was recognized by the Tatars when he personally supervised the battle! This resulted in our disastrous defeat in Daxi!"

Zhang Sheng said plausibly: "And during the Battle of Chalukou! Li Dingguo led his troops south to seize Guangxi!"

"Bai Wenxuan, Ma Jinzhong and others did not contribute! As a result, tens of thousands of our former athletes fought bloody battles alone with the main force of the Eight Banners!"

"But even so! I still led the troops to break through the Tatar camp and achieved a great victory!"

"If it weren't for the lingering ghosts of the Tatars and the presence of Li Dingguo, Bai Wenxuan and others, we would not be willing to make wedding clothes for them!"

"In a deadly battle, I will lead the front army to a great victory!"

"Yes! That's right!" Zhang Hu also said: "Now Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan have gone to western Yunnan!"

"No one in Hunan can pick the peaches of our front-line army!"

"It's better for the king to personally unite an army of 10,000+ and block the Tatars in western Hunan!"

"We are willing to do our best to assist the king in establishing immortal achievements! Kill all [-] Tatars in western Hunan!"

As soon as this statement came out, Sun Jiayao, Yang Silong, Yuan Taoan and other core generals of the front army had their eyes lit up, and they all geared up.

If only the main force of the Qing Dynasty led by Doni could be wiped out.

The world will naturally belong to the owner of the country.

When the time comes and the king makes progress, they will be able to follow the king's progress!
"Master of the country, please be the vanguard!" Sun Jiayao said: "I would like to bring [-] tiger warriors to occupy Wugang and Yuanzhou for the king of the country, and block the Tatars in western Hunan to fight!"

"The last general is also willing to be the vanguard!" Yang Silong said quickly: "I would like to lead our soldiers and horses to capture Wu Yuan! If you can't succeed! I am willing to come and see you!"

For a time, all the generals in front of him asked for orders, hoping to lead troops to attack Wugang and Yuanzhou, and block Duni in western Hunan for a decisive battle.

For fear of running away from this main force of the Eight Banners.

"I have my own plan for this battle. I won't be able to get you to make noise here." Sun Kewang glanced at him, and all the generals in front of him lowered their heads.

"Wugang is a strong city. Although our army can capture Ziyangguan and Maple Ridge and take Wugang directly! Why do we need such tricks?"

Sun Kewang said coldly: "Now the Tatars are trapped in Yunnan and Guizhou, and the food roads are blocked!"

"They are the ones who should be anxious, and they are the ones who should risk their lives to attack the city! Why are you all so anxious!"

"Wugang is a fortified city that was heavily fortified in the past. The Tatar puppet official Yuan Kuoyu will definitely try his best to hold on!"

"The lonely former athlete is waiting for work in the fortified city of Baoqing, and the Tatars will take the bait! There is no need to fight Wugang!"

During the confrontation between Sun Kewang and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, both sides were prepared in Hunan and spent a lot of effort.

Wugang, Chenzhou, Yuanzhou, and Jingzhou were all reinforced by Sun Kewang, creating a solid Huguang defense line.

If the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Yang Wu and others had not been withdrawn by Li Dingguo, the Qing army would not have been able to enter Yungui so easily.

In the same way, in order to prevent Sun Kewang from going east, Hong Chengchou also strengthened the city defenses of Baoqing, Changde and other important towns and made preparations to hold on.

But with dramatic changes.

Wugang and other places fell into the hands of the Qing army because Li Dingguo failed to defend them.

Important towns such as Baoqing, Hengyang, and Changde also fell easily into Sun Kewang's hands because Hunan had no soldiers.

A strange picture is now unfolding in Hunan.

The Qing army used the important town built by Sun Kewang to defend Sun Kewang, and Sun Kewang used the important town built by the Qing army to defend the Qing army.

The two parties completed the exchange.

After the Qing army occupied Western Hunan, Yuan Kuoyu, the governor of Pianyuan, finally stationed himself at the place where the governor of Pianyuan should be stationed - Yuanzhou.

There were many chieftains in western Hunan, and the remnants of the Ming army also fled into the mountains and forests.

Therefore, the Qing army deployed more troops and horses in western Hunan than in the hinterland of Hunan after reorganization.

Wugang, a strong city, guards the main route from western Hunan to the hinterland of Hunan.

Yuan Kuoyu can definitely gather thousands of soldiers and horses to defend.

Although Sun Kewang was still able to attack with force, but as he said, the people who should be anxious are the Tatars and Doni!

He could just wait for Doni in the hinterland of Hunan with his front troops, but why go to Xiangxi to chew on the city wall he reinforced?
"My lord, I'm afraid that Duny will lead the Eight Banners soldiers north and run back to Jingzhou!"

Zhang Sheng said worriedly: "It's better to occupy Yuanzhou first and block the main road. Then Duny and others will never be able to escape!"

"If Donny wants to go to Jingzhou, let him go!" Sun Kewang said disdainfully. (End of chapter)
