Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 932 Withdraw to the South Bank
Wu Sangui was marching behind Oboi, and was thrown far away by Oboi. He chased after him for a long time, but he couldn't catch up with the tail of the front army.

To be honest, Wu Sangui didn't like the Manchus, and he didn't even have much respect for Hauge.

Oboi rushed so fast, eager to make meritorious service, so that the Manchus could suppress the Han people again, Wu Sangui even thought in his heart that it would be better to let him suffer a bit.

However, although he didn't want the Manchus to show any publicity, they are now on the same boat as the Kingdom of Jin. It's okay for Oboi to suffer, but if he underestimates the enemy and suffers great losses, it will definitely affect the advantage that the Kingdom of Jin has gained in Sichuan. This is also what Wu Sangui doesn't want to see.

So Aobai sent people to urge him to hurry up and asked to keep a distance of five miles, but he immediately told the army to speed up and asked the distance between the former army and him.

The person sent back told him that the distance was more than ten miles away, Wu Sangui didn't expect Oboi to be so impatient, running so fast, and to leave him so far away, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Sure enough, his army hurried for a while, and suddenly heard a cannon shot from a long distance away.Wu Sangui's expression darkened immediately, knowing that something was wrong, he guessed that Oboi was in an ambush, he immediately urged the men and horses to run wildly again, fortunately the sky was getting brighter, and the speed of the army finally increased.

For a moment, Jin Jun searched for the direction of the sound and ran quickly. The closer they were to the battlefield, the clearer they heard the shout of killing, and the more anxious Wu Sangui became.

Not long after, the golden army had reached the place where they could see the battlefield, and at this moment, cheers burst out from the direction of the battlefield.Listening to the voice, it was mostly a southern accent. Wu Sangui knew that the Ming army's ambush must have made great progress. He immediately asked the soldiers behind him to blow their horns to cheer up the besieged Jin army and make them stand up.

The horn sounded, Wu Sangui continued to gallop, and after a while, countless defeated soldiers rushed towards him, colliding with them in an instant.

These golden soldiers had been routed, their courage was exhausted, and the army did not settle down after seeing them.

Wu Sangui's men and horses were immediately blocked by rout troops, he was a little surprised to see the rout troops on horseback, he thought to himself how miserable the defeat was, and he turned into such an appearance.

Suddenly Wu Sangui had a bad premonition in his heart, and immediately looked around, but seeing Oboi's figure, he couldn't help becoming anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "Are you all capable?"

When the defeated soldiers heard this, someone cried out immediately: "My lord, you all led your troops to break through the siege, and were shot through the throat by the Ming general, and died in battle!"

Wu Sangui was shocked, and his face was gloomy, "Where is the deputy governor? Can this news be confirmed?"

After he finished speaking, he heard someone say: "The body of the Dutong was dragged onto the horse by the Ming general, and he has already gone south. After the deputy Dutong died behind, it must be lost, woohoo..."

Aobai and Table Cloth Tai were all finished, their bodies were still in the hands of the Ming army, and both the chief and deputy commanders of the army were killed by the Ming army, no wonder the former army was defeated like this.

When Wu Sangui heard this, he didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately waved his hand to let the rout soldiers get out of the way, and urged the horse forward. The guard pillar next to him was frightened by the tragic situation of the former army, so he hurriedly beat the horse to catch up, and grabbed Wu Sangui's rein, "My lord, be careful there is an ambush!"

Wu Sangui broke his hand away at once, "When the sky is bright, the emperor will lead the army to come, how dare the Ming army lie in ambush. The two generals, Oboi and Tablecloth Tai, were folded in one fell swoop, and the corpses were not recovered. This king cannot explain to the emperor."

After finishing speaking, Wu Sangui waved his horsewhip and galloped southward. The rout soldiers on the official road immediately retreated to both sides of the official road, and nearly ten thousand gold soldiers ran and quickly passed among the rout soldiers.

The army ran, and met many defeated soldiers along the way. They stood by the road blankly, watching the golden soldiers running past with dull eyes.

Not long after, Wu Sangui arrived at the battlefield. On both sides of the official road and the official road, there were corpses of the Jin army everywhere, weapons, arrows, and wounded horses, and there were many wounded soldiers of the Jin army sitting on the ground. army killed.

Many Jin Jun who were hiding in the grass or pretending to be dead stood up one after another when they saw the Jin Army's rear army approaching.

Seeing him coming, the Ming army didn't clear the battlefield, apparently retreating in a hurry, Wu Sangui didn't stop, but waved his horsewhip and shouted loudly: "Keep chasing!"

At Jiangbei Ferry, on the three pontoon bridges, no Ming army had passed through, and the main force had already retreated to the south bank. However, Fan Yiheng still stayed on the hillside. He stood there all night, still looking up to the north.

Suddenly, in their field of vision, a large group of figures rushed towards the pontoon bridge. The Ming army standing on the top of the mountain was overjoyed when they saw this: "Futai, the army is back!"

When Fan Yiheng heard the words, he immediately looked over, and sure enough, he saw countless figures on the official road, leading many horses, running towards them at high speed.

"Quickly, come down the mountain with me to meet Wang Junmen and Commander Li!" Fan Yiheng was overjoyed, and he walked down the mountain after speaking, but he stood all night, and he was a civil servant, so it was good if he didn't move, but he almost fell down if he moved. The officials around him supported him.

"It's okay, help me down quickly!" Fan Yiheng supported his head, rested for a while, and then said.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, the figure in the distance had already arrived in front of them. The one in front of them was Wang Deren on the horse, and countless Ming soldiers came trotting behind.

"Why is Fan Futai not crossing the river?" Wang Deren said in surprise when he got up and got off his horse.

"As the governor of Sichuan, I have lost land and lost land this time, and the soldiers are still fighting. How can I cross the river first!" Fan Yiheng said, seeing the soldiers of the Ming army moving many horses, he was startled, and quickly asked: " Wang Junmen, what's going on in the future?"

Wang Deren immediately smiled, "Fan Futai, great victory! It is inconvenient to say more at this time, I will report after I pass the river. Now that Wu Sangui is in a hurry, and Commander Li is behind us, we must Quickly cross the river."

Fan Yiheng heard that he had won a great battle. He expected that Wang Deren and Li Dingguo had ambushed the Jin army's pursuers. He was overjoyed and curious when he saw a lot of horses, but what Wang Deren said was right. The situation of the battle will not change because of an ambush, they must retreat to the south bank as soon as possible.

"With this victory, Chongqing will be stable!" Fan Yiheng said happily: "Quickly, let the soldiers cross the river!"

At that moment, Wang Deren immediately ordered his soldiers to cross the river, and more than ten thousand Ming troops rushed to the ferry, divided into three groups, and immediately crossed the river at high speed.

On the other side, Wu Sangui led his men and horses to chase after him quickly, and finally caught up with the tail of the Ming army.

"Don't go!" The soldiers of the Jin army stretched their bows and set their arrows, chasing and shouting while releasing arrows, and the Ming army kept getting arrows in the back and fell forward.

Wu Sangui took the lead, and when he was about to catch up, there was another cannon shot on the hills on both sides, and the flags were waved on the hills, shouting to kill.

At the same time, a group of Ming soldiers suddenly rushed out from behind a small hill. The leading general jumped on horseback and raised his gun, and a large banner behind him wrote "Zhenwu Battalion Commander Li".

"Wu Sangui, where are you going to escape!" The general was very brave, he roared, full of energy, the sound shook the whole field.

That day's breakthrough was the Zhenwu camp that almost broke through the barrier. Wu Sangui was also very impressed with Li Dingguo, and even his subordinate Hu Guozhu was no match for him.

Seeing this, Wu Sangui turned pale with fright. He saw countless flags swaying on the hills on both sides. Could it be that the Ming army did not retreat, but deliberately lured the Jin army to chase after it, so as to reverse the situation in Sichuan.

For a moment, Wu Sangui couldn't think clearly, he heard what had happened to the former army, and was terrified in his heart, so he pulled up his horse and ran away.

The tens of thousands of gold troops, frightened by the sound of gongs and drums on both sides, ran back one after another, but ignored that although there were many banners and terrifying momentum on both sides, no arrows shot down.

Li Dingguo led hundreds of people to hide and kill for a while, then stopped him immediately, pulled his horse's head, "Let's go, retreat quickly, Wu Sangui will react soon."

Wu Sangui fled for six or seven miles in one breath, running with crooked helmets, his heart slowly calmed down, and immediately realized that he had been tricked, he couldn't help being furious, and suddenly reined in his horse, "stop, hurry back, it's too late , the Ming army has all fled!"

After he finished speaking, he turned his horse's head around again without explaining, and the officers hurriedly ordered, "Change the rear team to the front team, and chase south!"

After such a toss, the soldiers on the horses are fine, but it is a bit overwhelming to rely on two old and retired infantry.

Wu Sangui chased south again, not long before he reached the edge of the Yangtze River, he saw three streams of thick smoke rising into the sky from the south. When they reached the ferry, the Ming army had already burned the pontoon bridge and retreated across the Yangtze River.
