The 30,000-strong army of Ming Dynasty generals Wang Ziqi, Yang Bingyin, deputy generals Liu Zhifu, Wang Mingchen and Shi Lin entered Dajianlu.
When they heard that the heavenly soldiers from the imperial court had arrived, the chieftains from Yutong, Tanhan Zhazhaba, the chieftains from Muping, Jiancan and Nanha, and the chieftains from Wasi, Qu Yishen, immediately had a backbone and welcomed them with gongs and drums.
"General Wang's army is helping me build the arrow stove. It's really timely help! I'll wait for you to prepare a little wine to wash away the dust of all the generals. Please," Danhan Zakba, Jiancan Nanha earnestly advised.
Among the Ming troops who came to the rescue this time, Wang Ziqi was a former general of the Daxi Army, and Yang Bingyin was also a big thief who had swayed the Thirteenth Huang Family. They had 20,000 soldiers and horses under their command, and they were very fierce. Liu Zhifu, Wang Mingchen, and Shi Lin were originally generals from Wang Xiang's tribe in the Sichuan feudal town.
, the 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command are weak, but they have seen blood.
Wang Ziqi looked solemn, "There is no rush to eat beforehand. The military situation is urgent. The two comfort envoys will quickly lead me to check the terrain."
After looking at the topography, Wang Ziqi knew it well. The place of Dajianlu (Dajianlu) has "two rivers diverging and three mountains confronting each other". Dazhu, Zigzag. These two rivers converge here, and the surrounding Guoda Mountain, Paoma Mountain and Zi'er
Slopes surround the city.
A good place, one man is in charge and no one can open it!
Wang Ziqi asked Dan Hezhakba to guard Dajianlu City, Yang Bingyin, Qu Yishen to guard Guo Dashan, Liu Zhifu, Wang Mingchen, Shi Lin, Jian and Nanha to guard Paoma Mountain, and he himself guarded Zierpo.
??
"The Ming army is disgusting, they dare to rescue Dajian Lu." After hearing the news, Gushi Khan took a photo of the imperial court.
"Great Khan, if the Ming Dynasty dares to rescue the Jiarong people, our army will simply enter the Ming Dynasty."
"Great Khan, the last general is willing to be a pioneer!"
The subordinates asked for a fight one after another.
Dorji advised: "Father Khan, our army only brought 80,000 soldiers and horses this time, and we have lost more than 10,000 in successive battles. If we want to conquer Ming Dynasty, we will have to recruit at least 50,000 soldiers and horses. But in this way,
I’m afraid Qinghai-Tibet is unstable!”
Gushi Khan stroked his beard and pondered. His 80,000-strong army, after repeated battles, only 69,000 were left, unable to fight anymore. If Ming Dynasty were to attack the Ming Dynasty, they would have to mobilize more troops and horses from Qinghai-Tibet. However, Qinghai-Tibet opposed their various
The sect's forces are still there, and they crushed several mutinies after entering Lhasa.
He sighed, "I'm not willing to let Dajian Lu go like this!"
"Father Khan, why don't you give Wu Sangui some support and let him attack the Ming Dynasty and test the strength of the Ming army? In addition, you can send a small group of troops to harass the Ming army to see if there are any loopholes in its defense line."
"Good!"
A small group of Mongolian cavalry harassed the area around Litang and Batang. Liu Zhenguo, Lei Chasheng, Leng Yangchun and other generals had already been prepared on orders from the Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Wen Anzhi. The Mongols abandoned 300 corpses and returned in vain; they attacked Tianquan.
Sixth Division, Tianquan Sixth Division summoned envoy Gao Jitai, deputy envoy Yang Xianzhu, and general Xu Hanqing to resist desperately, and again lost 300 troops.
Gushi Khan did not give up and personally led an army to storm Dajianlu City. He attacked simultaneously from three directions: Guoda Mountain, Paoma Mountain and Zi'erpo. He failed to capture the enemy and lost another thousand soldiers and horses. He was so distressed that he could not bear to attack again.
Although he was unwilling to leave just now, he stationed troops outside Dajianlu City, waiting for news about Wu Sangui.
??
There is still no news about Wu Sangui. The Qing and Han troops in Baoning Prefecture set up a blue flag to secure the mountain. Li Guohan took action first.
Li Guohan once served as the bodyguard of Emperor Shunzhi. When he heard that Gushi Khan was marching eastward, he immediately became excited and called Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan, "Li Futai, Gushi Khan has marched eastward. This is you and me."
It’s time to capture Shunqing and serve the imperial court!”
Li Guoying has been patrolling Sichuan for many years and is familiar with the situation of Shu. He sighed after hearing this, "Although the timing is good, the guard of Shunqing Mansion, He Zhen, is quite brave and cannot be underestimated!"
When the Ming army defeated Wang Xiang, Yuan Tao, and Wu Da, Li Guoying wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but was defeated by He Zhen. The memory is still fresh in his memory.
"It doesn't matter. The reason why our army failed before was because of the convenience of water transportation, so we went down the Jialing River. Although this road is convenient, the Ming army also took strict precautions. This time, I took a long detour and attacked Yilong first, and then Yingxian County.
Then we crossed the Jialing River and went straight to Nanchong. He Zhen, a reckless man, must not have expected this move."
Li Guohan ordered Yongning Commander Bai Yongfu and Long'an Commander Zuo Xian to lead seven thousand troops, pretending to be a large force, and march down the Jialing River to pretend to attack Pengzhou. He, Li Guoying, Chengdu Commander Hui, and Xu Ma Commander Ma Huabao
, Lu Guangzu, the commander-in-chief of Fuzhou, and others led 30,000 troops and headed for Yilong.
The journey went very smoothly. He Zhen did not expect that the Qing army would take a detour. He did not deploy heavy troops in Yilong and Yingshan counties. The Qing troops lightly captured the two counties and marched to the bank of the Jialing River.
The Jialing River was very fast, and the Qing army had no ships, so they had to build bamboo rafts to cross the river. They were a little scared for a while.
Li Guohan boarded a bamboo raft and issued the military order: "Cross the river." The performance of this Morgan guard was worthy of the title of "Mergen". It is a pity that although the Han Dynasty was talented, it was used by the Qing Dynasty. p>
Seeing that the commander personally took the risk to cross the river, the morale of the Qing army was greatly boosted, and they crossed the Jialing River one after another and attacked Nanchong City.
He Zhen did not expect that the Qing army suddenly appeared in Hebei. He did not even have time to close the city gate. He rushed to fight and was killed by Li Guohan. His deputy general Wang Guangxing also died in the fighting.
Zhang Yaocui and Bai Jiaolong, two generals, led thousands of remaining troops and retreated to Yuechi County. They were met by 30,000 reinforcements from Wang Deren, Song Kuiguang, and Yan Sizhong.
Wang Deren asked: "Why are you two in such a mess? Where is General He?"
"He died in the battle!"
After the Jiangxi soldiers led by Wang Deren and Song Kuiguang defeated the Sichuan vassal town, they wanted to return to Jiangxi. Unexpectedly, the Qing army entered Sichuan and their return home was delayed. Wang Deren immediately ordered troops to fight.
"Commander, the Qing army's morale is at its peak. Don't underestimate the enemy," Song Kuiguang advised.
"Hmph, I, 'Wang Zamao', specializes in fighting elite soldiers!"
Wang Deren ordered Zhang Yaocui and the remnants of the Baijiaolong tribe to defend Yuechi City and led 30,000 elite troops to advance in search of the enemy. They met the Qing army's vanguard, Fuzhou general soldier Lu Guangzu, who rushed too far forward with 3,000 troops and horses, and Wang Deren made dumplings.
, total annihilation, I also died in the rebel army.
Li Guohan's army came to Yuechi County. When they heard that Lu Guangzu had been killed in battle, they did not dare to be careless and confronted Wang Deren in Yuechi.
??
"Are these for me?" Wu Sangui asked Gushi Khan's envoy with a smile as he looked at the piles of military supplies.
The envoy also smiled as brightly as a mountain flower, "Exactly. The Great Khan is attacking Dajianlu City, hoping that King Pingxi will capture Qiongzhou, Meizhou, and Jiading to contain the Ming army. These supplies were given to King Pingxi for military supplies.
”.
"Please report back to the Great Khan and send troops immediately!"
After sending away the envoy, counselor Fang Guangchen asked: "Your Majesty, do you really want to send troops to help Gushi Khan conquer the Ming Dynasty?"
"Yes, there is no better place in Sichuan than Jiading Prefecture. If you get it, you can become a king."
Hearing the words "Jiading is rich", Fang Guangchen was also moved and stopped persuading.
Wu Sangui fell in love with the wealthy Jiading, and led 36,000 troops to the gates of Jiading City, confronting Li Dingguo's 30,000 defenders.
"Commander, I see that among the generals of the Qing army, Yan Ziming and Cheng Tingjun are not in good shape and can be attacked," Deputy Commander Li Chengjue suggested.
Li Chengjue was also an old general in the Western Region, and he was quite brave. Li Ding's army originally had 20,000 troops, but Fan Youxian was afraid that his troops would be insufficient, so he assigned Li Chengjue's 10,000 troops to his command.
Li Dingguo praised: "Heroes see the same thing!"
The next day, in order to confuse Wu Sangui, Li Dingguo ordered his general Wang Hui to stand at the top of the city and command under his own flag.
Wu Sangui arrived. He personally climbed up the hill outside Beicheng and directed the siege. Soldiers and horses descended from the mountain, and the sound of cannons shook the sky. They lined up fifteen miles from Dajiang (Yangtze River) in the east to Qingyi River in the west. In front were infantry.
Secondly, artillery, blunderbuss, playing cards, flat knives, bows and arrows, and spears were used, layered on top of each other, and swarmed to attack the city.
From Chen Shi (7 a.m.) to You Shi (5 p.m.), Wu's army gradually became exhausted.
At Youshi, Li Dingguo led his army out of the city and attacked Yan Ziming and Cheng Tingjun's army directly. Li Chengjue, Jin Tongwu, Dou Mingwang and Chen Jian all charged forward bravely.
The two generals Yan Ziming and Cheng Tingjun were not Wu Sangui's old troops in Guan Ning's army, but were surrendered generals. The two groups of more than 5,000 soldiers and horses were not strong enough to resist the enemy, so they fled one after another. The defeated army also captured Wang Pingfan, Xia Guoxiang, Wu Guogui, and Guo Zhuang.
The troops in Tu rushed into chaos. The Ming army took advantage of the situation and attacked bravely, but the Qing army was in chaos and could not stand.
At the time of Xu (7 p.m.), the Qing army collapsed across the board and retreated eastward to the bank of the river. Fortunately, Fang Guangchen was cautious and left ships by the river.
"Your Majesty, retreat quickly, the last general will cut off the queen." Commander-in-Chief Gao Dejie asked for orders.
Wu Sangui said "General Gao, be careful" and hurriedly led the army across the river.
Gao Dejie led 2,000 troops and fought tooth and nail to block the Ming army. The entire army was wiped out. He was also a fierce general. In another time and space, Wu Sangui rebelled against the Qing Dynasty. This man defeated Qing'an and Prince Yue Le twice. In this time and space, however,
Died here. What a pity!
Wu Sangui fled across the river, counted his troops, and lost a total of 20,000 men. The generals Gao Dejie, Yan Ziming, and Cheng Tingjun were killed in the battle. More than a hundred generals below the chief soldiers died in the battle. He even lost his Pingxi King Seal.
Not daring to fight anymore, he led 16,000 defeated troops and fled back to Chengdu, desperately seeking help from the Qing court and Gushi Khan.
This battle broke the backbone of Guan Ning's cavalry and also demonstrated the majesty of the Ming army.
Li Dingguo originally wanted to take advantage of the victory to capture Chengdu, Long'an, and Songpan. However, at this time, Chengdu was in ruins. Only Chengdu and Huayang were somewhat inhabited, and the rest were uninhabited areas. Long'an and Songpan were also remote. If the army went on an expedition, they might not have enough food.
.So Wu Sangui was released, but Jiading Prefecture was firmly defended.
??
"What! Wu Sangui lost?"
Gushi Khan, who was watching the situation, saw Wu Sangui's envoy asking for help. After hearing that Wu Sangui was defeated so miserably, he said after a while: "It seems that the Sichuan Ming army is not weak!"
Wen Yan sent the envoy away, and Gushi Khan summoned the generals for discussion.
"The Ming army has defeated Wu Sangui. You all want to discuss where our army will go next?"
The generals have been on the expedition for a long time, and they have reaped the benefits. They have grabbed a lot of good things, and they are returning home.
The eldest son Dayan Eqil said: "Father Khan, our army has captured six of the eight Jiarong tribes and basically conquered Jiarong. There is no need to start another dispute with the Ming army over a mere arrow furnace. The soldiers have been fighting for a long time.
If you are tired, it is better to return west."
All the generals agreed with Dayan Eqil's point of view.
The sixth son, Dorji, said: "My father Khan and my son thought that before returning to the west, we should send an envoy to explain to the Ming Dynasty that it was the Jiarong people who repeatedly invaded our territory, so we sent troops to attack them. We have no intention of becoming an enemy of the Ming Dynasty." Gushi Khan praised: "Dorji's words are a mature way to build a country. You must remember that if you don't have the strength to defeat your enemy, then turn your enemy into a friend with him."
So he left his confidant Norbu to guard the Jiarong area, led his army back to Lhasa, and sent envoys to ask for peace from the Ming army.
Fan Youxian and Fan Yiheng met the envoys sent by Gushi Khan to seek peace. They did not dare to take matters into their own hands and rushed 800 miles to report to Zhu Hengjia.
Zhu Hengjia's reply was also sent back urgently via Babaili, and it was just one word: accurate!
