Chapter 661

Guan Ning's reinforcements arrived so quickly.

"How many soldiers and horses are there?" Gao Yihuan asked, tightening the reins.

"The ministers and others chased and killed the defenders at Jianmen Pass, and chased them to the north of Jiange. When they saw that the enemy troops were all over the mountains and plains to the south, and there were enemy horse troops to meet the defeated army, Governor Xu ordered the troops to retreat. According to the observations of the ministers and others, the enemy troops were only There are more than 3 people, and most of them are cavalry." The cavalry reported with clasped fists.

"There are only 5 or [-] elite troops in Guanning. With so many horse troops coming, they must be the main force of Wu Sangui! Maybe even Wu Sangui has arrived!" Li Dingguo said.

Instead of being surprised, Gao Yihuan was overjoyed, and said with a bold smile: "That's just right! The lonely king defeated Wu Sangui in the first battle, and then took Sichuan, it's like picking something out of a pocket."

The two armies met for less than twenty miles, and both sides were under the nose of the other side. The distance was too close, and retreating and escaping would give the other side a chance to pursue and kill.

Wei Jun broke through Jianmen Pass, so naturally he wanted to take advantage of the situation to defeat Wu Sangui, so he couldn't give Guan Ningjun a chance to regain his footing.

After hearing Gao Yihuan's words, many generals of the Wei army were gearing up and eager to try.

Immediately Gao Yihuan pulled the reins of his horse and shouted: "The sentry cavalry continue to investigate, the army presses up! If Wu Sangui accepts the challenge, then fight with him. If the Guan Ning army retreats, the army will directly cover up and kill him."

All the generals agreed in unison, and Gao Yihuan led the generals back to the team as soon as he pulled the reins of the horse.

At this time, the army had already walked out of the southern foot of Dajian Mountain, the road became wider, and the two sides changed from steep cliffs to hills and low hills.

In front of the Wei army, the five-kilogram victorious army carried self-generated fire blunderbuss on their shoulders, swords and blunderbuss thorns hanging on their waists, medicine bottles hanging obliquely on their bodies, helmets and blunderbuss rods undulating, and the team marched forward mightily.

On both sides of the road, the horse's hooves fell like raindrops, and the horse's hoofs rattled forward unhurriedly.

The various departments of the current Wei army, after going through several battles, have all revealed a sturdy breath and displayed momentum.

The reason why the Manchurian soldiers turned people's faces is because they played awe-inspiring, making people timid before fighting. In fact, many of the Ming army's servants may not be inferior to the Manchurian soldiers. It's just that they were discouraged and did not fight. Just be afraid, if you can't even show your strength, you will often lose battles.

At this time, Gao Yihuan was wearing a golden lacquer armor with a three-foot-long black feather inserted into his helmet. holding his banner.

Fifty thousand Wei troops marched along the road, banners unfurled, spears like forests, well-armed soldiers crowded around, but no one made noise. They were excited and murderous, and directly pressed on the oncoming Guan Ning army.

Before the team, the tiger and horse army was selected as the main army's eyes to defend against the enemy's surprise attack. From time to time, sentry cavalry delivered news and reported the distance of the enemy at any time.

At this time, among the Guanning Army in the south, Wu Sangui was riding on a horse, and tens of thousands of Guanning Army rolled forward.

Now that Jianmen Pass has been breached by the Wei army, Wu Sangui must either retreat immediately and abandon Sichuan, or go up and fight Gao Yihuan.

It is obviously impossible for Wu Sangui to give up like this, but now the distance is too close, the army can withdraw, and the luggage is difficult to withdraw, retreating is tantamount to defeat, which Wu Sangui cannot accept.

Besides, it's not that he has no chance now. The Wei army has traveled a long distance and has not gained a firm foothold in Sichuan. If the Guan Ning army defeats the Wei army in the first battle, then there is still a chance.

"Report! My lord, the Wei army is coming from the direction of Jianmen Pass, less than fifteen miles away from our army!" Guan Ning's scouts rushed over.

Wu Sangui on the horse had a gloomy face. At such a close distance, Gao Yihuan still didn't stop. He gritted his teeth and waved: "Go ahead!"

The soldiers of the Guan Ning Army in the wilderness clenched their weapons tightly. The soldiers marched silently, and they couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

This kind of atmosphere was not there when they fought Li Zicheng, nor did they have it when they fought Zhang Xianzhong. Only when they fought against the Qing army in Liaodong, did they have this sense of tension and fear.

On the other side, Wei Jun continued to move forward and had already walked out of Dajian Mountain.

At this time, there are still mountains on both sides of the road, but they are relatively flat, and some rice fields, terraced fields, and even villages have appeared.

As they advanced, the Wei army began to change formation, forming a horizontal formation, walking in the harvested fields, and the army marched like a wall.

"Report! Your Majesty! The enemy soldiers are less than ten miles away from my forward!" Wei Jun's sentry cavalry galloped over, constantly reporting the distance between the two armies.

The soldiers of the Wei army at the vanguard also subconsciously clenched the firecrackers in their hands. A big battle was imminent.

"Your Majesty, should you stop lining up!" Bai Wenxuan licked his chapped lips.

"Has Wu Sangui stopped?" Gao Yihuan asked casually.

The scout clasped his fists and said, "Guan Ning's army is still advancing!"

Gao Yihuan waved his hand and ordered solemnly, "Keep moving forward."

The generals of Wei Jun were full of pride in their hearts, and the gunners stepped on the drums, and the army marched in rows.

In front of the front line, nearly a hundred stragglers armed with self-generating guns, 13 people in groups, held guns in their hands, scattered in the wilderness, covering the main formation to advance.

The goal of the Wei army is to defeat Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui's goal is to block the road going south for the Wei army, so the Wei army must maintain an offensive posture, otherwise the Wei army will stop, and Wu Sangui will also stop, choosing to build a stronghold and wait for the Wei army to run out of food.

The two armies continued to advance, and whoever stopped first would lose momentum.

At this time, with the passage of time, the distance between the two armies rapidly narrowed. Gao Yihuan pulled out the binoculars, and he could already see the horse army fighting between the two armies.

In Guan Ning's army, Wu Sangui also pulled out his binoculars, looked past the Ma Jun fighting between the two armies, and looked at the black lines behind him.

Within the circular field of vision, Wu Sangui saw a black wall of people appearing in the opposite field. The soldiers of the Wei army in the front row were carrying guns on their shoulders, and a soldier next to him was beating a military weapon. Suona's step drummer.

The 300 people of the Wei army formed a small horizontal formation, each with a military flag, dozens of small horizontal formations, and connected into a large horizontal formation that was three or four miles long.

After the horizontal formation in front, there was another horizontal formation in the rear, and he couldn't see clearly the rear. He could only see the soldiers of the Wei army directly in front stepping on the rice fields, over the mounds, advancing like a wall, and pressing towards the Guan Ning army.

On the two wings of the horizontal formation, there are the horse troops of the Wei army, and the bronze cannons dragged by the horses, advancing with the main formation without any intention of stopping.

As the distance between the two armies draws closer, Guan Ning's army will soon enter the firing range of Wei's artillery, and then be bombarded with firecrackers. The advancing Guan Ning army is not ready to go to war directly.

In front of the Wei army formation, sentry cavalry galloped over and reported again: "My lord, the main formation of the Guan Ning army has stopped!"

"Haha~" Wei Jun's generals burst into laughter, as if they had already defeated Guan Ning's army.

Hu Dawei said: "Back then when the Qing army invaded the Guan, Beijing summoned all the troops to fight. The Guan Ning army is best at avoiding the enemy and not fighting. Now it seems that they are still very timid! They have begun to fear us!"

Gao Yihuan looked high-spirited, glanced at the black line that stopped in the distance, raised his arms and said, "Then in this battle, you will show your momentum to this king, defeat the Guanning Army in one fell swoop, and seize Sichuan."
