Chapter 821 The Two Armies Meet

Chapter 821
On the official road, the broken soldiers of Datong Town fled southward, and the Qing army pursued them closely. It's a pity that they were in Daizhou. If they were in the Taiyuan Basin or the Hebei Plain, the Ma Jun would have killed all these broken soldiers long ago. .

The Qing army pursued and killed them all the way, leaving the border of Daizhou and entering the border of Xinzhou, but the Qing army still pursued relentlessly, and half of Datong Town was wiped out, and Bai Wenxuan's cavalry also suffered great casualties.

The Qing army chased after the rout soldiers, watching the rout soldiers fleeing southward desperately, like a flock of sheep, like ducks rushing southward, they all chased and killed them heartily.

For a while, the soldiers of the Qing army seemed to have found their old style, and they all got carried away and didn't pay much attention to the battlefield.

Suddenly, several cannons rang out, and the sound of piercing through the air was heard endlessly. Dozens of shells hit the middle of the official road, and the mud splashed. The cavalry was thrown flying by inertia and hit the ground heavily, and the horses immediately neighed and howled everywhere.

"No, stop!" The general of the Qing army came to his senses and shouted loudly, holding the rein tightly with one hand, the horse neighed, and its front hooves hung in the air.

At this time, on both sides of the official road, suddenly artillery fires and gunshots rang out. The generals of the Qing army reacted quickly, but the cavalry of the Qing army did not completely stop the car. down.

The Wei Army cavalry on both wings rushed out immediately, roaring in. The Qing Army cavalry had no choice but to draw back their horses and give up the pursuit.

The cavalry retreated three li, out of the range of the Wei army's artillery bombardment, followed by the Qing army cavalry behind, and the Qing army, who had been killed by mistake, stabilized their position again, and then looked up to the south to see who the grandchildren were. Ambush them.

The soldiers of the Qing army fixed their eyes and saw that the Wei army in front of them had formed a formation on the two wings of the official road. On the low hills on both sides, there were all over the gunmen of the Wei army, and the army flags were flying in the wilderness.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the retreat of the Qing cavalry, the rout in Datong Town had already withdrawn, and the soldiers of the Wei army in the brigade rushed down the official road, and the spearmen in heavy armor immediately formed a spear formation.

At this time, Dorgon's big flag appeared, surrounded by a large number of generals, he came to the front, and seeing the pursuers standing still, he couldn't help shouting loudly: "Why don't you chase?"

"Prince Regent, there are enemy troops blocking ahead!" Tong Tuliang galloped over and quickly explained.

Dorgon hurried forward, took out the binoculars to watch for a while, and said with a sneer, "This is Wei thief, Gao Manzi is here!"

At this time, more and more Qing troops were chasing after them. The Wei army seemed to have built a dam for the river, while the Qing army was like a river, accumulating more and more.

"Prince Regent, do you want to rush over in one go?" General Youman suggested at this time.

Dorgon asked, "Where is this place?"

"The regent, it's Xinkou!" Someone replied.

Dorgon narrowed his eyes, "Crossing here, you can enter the Taiyuan Basin. Tong Yangliang, your men are exhausted after chasing for a while. Shi Tingzhu, go!"

When the Qing army was neutral, the trumpets sounded and the flags were waved, and thousands of armored soldiers with white flags came out.

At this time, Gao Yihuan was pacing back and forth behind the Wei army's defense line, looking extremely irritable. He suddenly stopped, pointed at the kneeling general, "You, you~"

After speaking, Gao Yihuan started to pace up and down again, "Jiang Xiang, what do you want the lonely king to say about you?"

Jiang Xiang cried and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that? I really can't stand it! The Tartars are too fierce!"

Gao Yihuan sternly said, "You still have the face to mention it, and you still say that if you don't send troops to reinforce, you will die for Gu to see. Why didn't you die?"

Gao Yihuan was indeed a bit old-fashioned, and Jiang Xiang's abandonment completely disrupted his plan.Originally, the Wei army was going to be at Yanmen Pass, first to wear down the spirit of the Qing army, and then let it in to fight. Now it is equivalent to saving this link. Whether the Wei army can withstand Dorgon's attack from the front becomes a problem.

Waiting for work with ease has turned into head-to-head confrontation, and Gao Yihuan is naturally annoyed.

At this time, Chen Mingxia, who was at the side, saw that the atmosphere was a bit tense, so he hurriedly came out and said, "Jiang Zongbing, you can't blame the king for being so angry. After receiving your rescue letter, the king immediately sent Bai Dudu to lead the troops northward. It's not your fault." Angry, why didn't you persist for two more days?"

Jiang Xiang also had troubles that he couldn’t tell. Before he went north to meet the enemy, Gao Laoer gave him a guarantee, telling him to let him go and fight boldly, and to be his strong backing. In the end, Guisun was really a backing, except for giving him some equipment. And food and pay, he just didn't send a soldier to the front line.

This made Jiang Xiang suspicious. He was afraid that Gao Laoer would not come, and the Qing army was indeed fierce. When he saw that the Guancheng had collapsed, he took the lead and ran away.

Gao Yihuan did not expect such a result. Wei Jun's defenses at Guguan and Huguan were very good, but he forgot that Wei Jun had sufficient defensive experience, various fortifications and defensive methods at his fingertips, coupled with excellent equipment, and defended the Taihang Mountains with dangerous terrain. pulse, but Jiang Xiang may not be able to match Wei Jun.

He thought that Jiang Xiang had more than [-] people, even if he was not as good as Wei Jun, he would still be able to toss for a few months. After all, Jiang Xiang had tossed for nine months in history.

It's just that he didn't expect that Jiang Xiang was still the same Jiang Xiang. The Qing army had fought against the Wei army many times, but it had improved to a certain extent. The most important point was that Jiang Xiang was trapped in Datong in history and had nowhere to go. Fighting to the death, he has a firm will, but this time guarding Yanmen Pass, he has a way out.

Gao Yihuan also calmed down at this time. Jiang Xiang was not his deployment before, but could only be regarded as a friendly army. He sighed and said in a tone of hating iron but not steel: "You! Hold on, if the lonely king doesn't believe you, you won't be able to hold on."

After finishing speaking, Gao Yihuan waved his hand, "Okay, get up! The lonely king hopes that you can take the blame and make meritorious deeds, so that the lonely king will look at you differently."

Chen Mingxia hurriedly said: "Jiang Zongbing, thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I have thanked the king, and I will definitely take the crime and make meritorious service in the future!" Jiang Xiang's heart was full of bitterness, the dream of Jin Guogong and Shizhen Hedong was shattered, and the Liuhou in the Western Wei Dynasty probably also fell through.

His children and grandchildren's long-term meal tickets and his own meal tickets were all gone, which made him very frustrated.

Gao Yihuan waved his hand, "Back off and go to rest!"

Jiang Xiang resigned. At this time, Bai Wenxuan, who was covered in blood, walked over quickly and knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty, I have a heavy entrustment, please punish me!"

Gao Yihuan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "Wen Xuan, Gudu has heard from Mr. Li. I don't blame you for this matter, as long as I can come back!"

Jiang Xiang, who was leaving aside, saw Gao Yihuan immediately change his face, feeling a little lost in his heart, but Bai Wenxuan felt a burst of warmth in his heart, he hurriedly said: "My lord, the Tartars are coming fiercely, we only have 3 people in front, I'm afraid It's hard to resist!"

Gao Yihuan helped him up and said, "Don't worry, Wenxuan, the lonely king has ordered Xu Heihu and Huang Bingzhong to get closer to the lonely king!"

At this time, the Qing army's offensive had already begun, but the Qing army was not prepared enough. Shi Tingzhu rushed for a while, but the Wei army's line was not loosened.

Dorgon looked up at the sky, the sunset had already set, and the Wei army was already prepared, but the Qing army was not prepared. Moreover, the soldiers were exhausted after chasing and killing all the way. Seeing that Shi Tingzhu had made no progress, he felt that it was not appropriate to fight again, so as not to lose his spirit , Immediately made people call gold.

"The army will camp underground, raise its strength for a night, make some preparations, and then fight to defeat the enemy!" At that moment, Dorgon issued a military order, and asked the soldiers to pack up the equipment, armor, and other materials of the Datong Army, and cut off the heads of the corpses of the defeated soldiers. Next, it was built as a "Beijing View" to frighten the Wei army and show off the martial arts of the Qing soldiers.
