Chapter seven hundred and sixty-eight after the hands do not accept surrender
The cavalry that rushed out of the canyon were the elite cavalry of the Shun Army affiliated to the temporary second army. The latest system was the temporary fourth town, and half of the people came from the 12th town of the Old Huai Army.
The town pursued the main force of the Western Army's Imperial Camp from Wugong west, and once made an impressive record of traveling 300 miles a day and night, forcing the prisoners of the Western Army with one town to surrender and capture more than 60,000.
In addition to the temporary assembly of the Fourth Town cavalry, there were also large groups of infantry in the valley. After seeing the signal, these infantry immediately rushed out from their respective deployment directions, forming eight square arrays in the area several miles east of the valley entrance, blocking the valley entrance behind tightly.
The infantry of the temporary second army was mainly composed of the Western Army surrendered by the original Bai Wenxuan, who was later taken over by Dou Mingwang, and the Western Army surrendered to Shun in the Ningxia Qianwei territory.
Except for one-third of the officers who were dispatched from the Shun Army, the rest were the former generals of the Western Army. After Dou Mingwang's "adjusted", half of these Western Army generals were from the former Dou Mingwang Imperial City Commander, so they were loyal and reliable.
In addition to Dou Mingyang's performance after Guyuan Zhushun, Zhao Zhongyi, who was temporarily appointed as the admiral of the Second Army and the governor of Ningxia, was relieved and boldly handed over the command of the two infantry towns to Dou Mingyang.
It was also Dou Mingwang's plan to give up Xingwuying, Yongqing, Anding, Tianchi and other places to lure Sun Kewang into moving westward.
Dou believed that once Sun Kewang learned that Lingzhou had been captured by Dashun, he would never be trapped in Huamachi at the end of his life, and he would very likely take the risk and lead his troops to attack Lingzhou. Therefore, if the Shun Army divided its troops to guard the forts along the border according to the original plan, it would be easy to be defeated by Sun Kewang's main force. This would not only allow Sun Kewang to obtain some food and supplies from these forts, but also make the remnants of the Western Army unit unprecedentedly united, posing a threat to the Shun Army's refusal to block the Sun Li group on the western front.
Therefore, when some relatively low-important fortresses were abandoned, the main force of the Second Army was temporarily organized to wait for the enemy to attack, and at the same time, the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields was adopted. In this way, the Western Army could not get supplies along the way, and would become exhausted because of its rush to advance. The Shun Army would definitely be able to severely damage the Sun Li group with a relaxed and waiting time.
Although Zhao Zhongyi was a personal soldier of the Ming army general Jin Shengheng and had no outstanding qualifications, he was good at adopting other people's suggestions. In addition, he was brave in combat, so he was promoted to the admiral of the army with his military achievements and also served as the governor of Ningxia.
After discussing with a group of subordinates, they all believed that Dou Mingwang's strategy was actually a clever plan to deal with the Sun Li group. Zhao Zhongyi immediately adopted Dou's proposal. Except for the three forts in the southwest, the rest of the forts immediately destroyed the villages and abandoned the forts, and strengthened the walls and cleared the fields. The main force gathered in the area of Shijigou Valley. He originally wanted to use the favorable terrain of Shijigou Valley to ambush Sun Kewang, but Sun Kewang saw it out, so he simply put on a stance to compete with Sun Kewang.
Seeing that the Shun Army had a large number of troops in the valley, the Western Army was frightened. Sun Kewang originally wanted to take the lead in launching an attack when the Shun Army was out of the valley and lined up to fight the Shun Army with unstable foothold, but the Shun Army's cavalry was eyeing the north and south wings, forcing Sun Kewang not to act rashly.
Otherwise, the only more than 3,000 cavalry would be sent out rashly, and the Shun Army cavalry would be likely to encircle and annihilate the Western cavalry.
"Dongfu, is it a war or a retreat?"
General Zheng Guo came over to ask in a low voice.
Sun Kewang did not say whether it was a war or a retreat, but summoned Yang Xing first to ask him who was the leader of the Shun Army in Ningxia.
Yang Xingxian said that he was a general named Zhao Zhongyi.
Sun Kewang shook his head, not knowing who this person was, but most likely he was not Li Zicheng's old subordinate, otherwise he would have known it.
When I looked at the formation of the Shun Army infantry, I looked familiar because many of the Shun Army infantry were wearing Xiying clothes. The difference was that they had red scarves tied around their necks. When I looked at the group of Shun Army generals in front of the infantry, someone cursed at that time: "It's Dou Mingwang, the traitor!"
Sun Kewang's face was gloomy. He could see clearly that not only most of the infantrymen of the Shun Army on the other side were soldiers of his Xiying, but many of the generals in the leadership were the Imperial Camp that his adopted father valued during his lifetime, especially Dou Mingwang, who was the most trusted general of his adoptive father during his lifetime. Otherwise, he would not have been allowed to serve as the commander of the Imperial City and be responsible for the direct imperial guards under the Imperial Camp.
"I don't think Sun Kewang will dare to fight."
On the valley halfway, Zhao Zhongyi, the admiral who was standing on the horse wearing armor, put down the thousand-mile mirror and said to Yang Yimin, the former governor of Shaanxi in Xiying beside him: "You go and persuade Sun Kewang. If he is willing to surrender, I, the Dashun State, will be rewarded with the title."
Yang Yimin nodded. After he was free from Guyuan and surrendered to Shun, he was appointed as the Shaanxi Censor of Dashun. However, he did not go to Xi'an immediately to take office. Instead, he followed the governor Zhao north to Ningxia under the order of Duke Li Guozhi of Xingguo. The reason was that he had a good personal relationship with Sun Kewang, so Dashun hoped that he could persuade Sun Kewang to surrender.
Although Yang Yimin was a scholar, he had been fighting with Xiying for ten years. He had already practiced a good horsemanship, otherwise he would have died of the pursuit of the Ming army.
He then drove downhill and headed straight for the Western Army. He was not worried that if he could not surrender, Sun Kewang would kill him, the "traitor". After all, in addition to having a good personal relationship with Sun Kewang, he also had life-saving grace for Sun Kewang back then.
Yang Yimin was soon brought to Sun Kewang. Looking at his former friend and life-savior who was already in the official uniform of Dashun, Sun Kewang sighed lightly. He knew the other party's purpose, but did not let the other party speak. Instead, he asked him why the two generals Dingbei and Funan surrendered to Shun.
"The two generals of the north and Funan that day"
Yang Yimin general Ai Nengqi under Huating City, Liu Wenxiu was persuaded to surrender by Li Guo, and all the efforts of the two generals to try to save the crisis were all told.
When we knew that the north and Funan were attacked by the Shun army, the food route was cut off, and the army's spirit was shaken, and the army had to surrender. Sun Kewang couldn't help but sigh again.
"The Master of the Mansion, Dingbei and Funan are all granted marquises from Dashun. Lao Wansui was also buried with the courtesy of a prince by the Dashun Lu State. Prime Minister Wang is now the governor of Gansu, Prime Minister Yan is the governor of Ningxia, Ma Yuanli and Wang Ziqi are each the commander of the town, and Commander Dou is also highly valued by the Shun Army."
Yang Yimin still hoped that Dashun Daxi could stop the army, and the two sides would separate their families and then join the family. Therefore, they told Dashun that the civil and military soldiers in Xiying were well-behaved, and said that the two divisions of Dingbei and Funan were now the main forces of Dashun. As long as Sun Ke hoped to surrender, Dashun's governor should be granted the title of prince and be appointed as an important official.
"You don't have to say much, and go back and bring a message to Zhao Zhongyi. Since you and my family are already on the verge of being on the verge of being on the verge of being on the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge
Sun Kewang was not attracted by the King of Dashun and then dismissed and surrendered, but many generals from the West Envoy were in the hearts of the hearts.
"Master!"
Yang Yimin wanted to persuade him again, but Sun Kewang turned his head and waved his hand to order his personal soldiers to drag him away. Helplessly, Yang Yimin had to go back and report.
"Sun Kewang is so ungrateful? Do you want to die tens of thousands of people to be willing to die!"
Zhao Zhongyi was a little angry. He whipped the horse whip and galloped out of the slope, rushed to the Western Army formation and pulled the reins, and stopped. Then he shouted loudly: "I am Zhao Zhongyi, the governor of Dashun Ningxia. Now I only say one thing to the soldiers of Erxi Army. Who will surrender before the battle, who will be the official who will be the official? Those who cannot defeat the enemy and surrender again after the battle will not be forgiven!"
