At the end of Ming Dynasty: I, Sun Kewang!Desperate comeback!

Chapter 198 Juelong Ridge, Luofengpo, Mopan Mountain!
"Prince Jin, how do you want to fight this battle!" Dou Mingwang and other generals asked with fighting spirit rising in their hearts.

"Between Yongchang and Tengyue, there is a place called Mopan Mountain! This place is extremely dangerous and is the only way between Yongchang and Tengyue!"

Li Dingguo pointed to the map and said: "Our army is now small. With only [-] people, we cannot face Wu Sangui and others head-on. But if we are surprised, we can set up an ambush in Mopan Mountain!"

"The Tatars have won dozens of battles. If they are careless and eager to pursue the Holy Driver, they will easily fall into an ambush!"

Mopan Mountain, also known as Mopanshi, is located on the southeastern mountainside of Gaoligong Mountain, backed by a watershed. There is an ancient pass on the watershed called Fenshui Pass, which has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

It is said that during the southern expedition, Zhuge Wuhou spent a night at Fenshuiguan and built Zhuge City.To the east of Fenshui Pass is the Nu River, and to the west is the Longchuan River. Cross the Longchuan Bridge to the west to Olive Pu, and then you can go straight to Tengyue.

In such an important place, Li Dingguo chose it as the ambush location with a very vicious vision!
After hearing this, the generals stared at the map and nodded one by one.

"King Jin, if we set up an ambush here, the Tatars will kill them all for us if they are not careful!" Gao Wengui clenched his fist and said solemnly.

Seeing that all the generals agreed with his plan, Li Dingguo gritted his teeth and said: "Wu Sangui has been victorious and pursued, so he will be unprepared. I will build a fence here with six thousand soldiers to control the danger, and set up three ambushes. I will definitely win a complete victory and eliminate him in one fell swoop." Wu Sangui is a traitor!"

"The generals obey!"

"The end is here!"

Jin generals such as Gao Wengui, Dou Mingwang, Wang Guoxi, Wu Sansheng, Gao Yuncheng, Yang Xiang, etc. all knelt on one knee to welcome Li Dingguo's military order.

"Gao Wengui, I order you to lead two thousand troops for the first ambush!"

"Dou Mingwang, Gao Yuncheng! You two lead an army of two thousand to form two volts!"

"Wang Guoxi, Yang Xiang, you two lead two thousand troops to form a three-volt army!"

"In the three provinces of Wu, gather your own troops and station them in the rear to collect the defeated troops as backup for each department!"

Li Dingguo said solemnly: "After each ministry entered the designated combat location, they immediately laid landmines between the roads. Only when the Qing army entered the initial ambush could they set off the mines. The entire army used the initial ambush as a signal to fire artillery, and Gao Wengui took the lead in launching the attack. , block the Qing army's retreat and disrupt its position!"

"As soon as the cannon sounded, Wang Guoxi's and Dou Mingwang's second and third ambushes launched attacks at the same time. The second ambushes attacked from the east and west, and the third ambushes cooperated with the first ambushes to intercept and kill them. The Tatars will definitely not be able to take care of both the head and the tail!"

"This battle must completely annihilate Wu Sangui and Duni's main force of the Qing army, and they must not be allowed to escape with their armor!"

The generals saw that Li Dingguo had considered all the details carefully. If he followed this plan, Wu Sangui, who was in ambush, would definitely not be able to escape a miserable end.

Thinking of this, everyone was determined and shouted in unison: "The King of Jin is wise!"

After the deployment of troops and generals was completed, Li Dingguo finally strictly enforced battlefield discipline to the participating generals:

"The Art of War says that those who are good at defending hide under the Nine Earths, and those who are good at attacking move above the Nine Heavens."

"Wu Sangui and Duni's troops are both elites of the Qing army. As long as they can be completely annihilated, the Qing army will be unable to launch another attack in Yunnan for a year and a half!"

"If this is the case, I can gather the remaining armies from all walks of life in western Yunnan and revive the Ming army's power!"

"This battle is of great importance. Whether the Ming Dynasty can be revived depends on this battle!"

"Therefore, you must hide your troops and horses under the grass in deep ditches to catch Wu Sangui off guard! All soldiers must carry three days of dry food with them. They are not allowed to light fires for warmth and are not allowed to bury pots for cooking, so as not to be noticed by the Qing army! Anyone who violates the order will be punished Behead without mercy!"

"Please rest assured, King Jin, even if Mount Tai collapses before Wu Sangui arrives, our troops and horses will never be mobilized!" Gao Wengui and other generals said solemnly.

When Li Dingguo saw that the morale of the generals was high and their fighting spirit was high, he couldn't help but feel reassured.

"Prince Jin, this place in Mopan Mountain is probably the burial place of the last general." Dou Mingwang sighed suddenly.

"Fame, why are you doing this?" Li Dingguo asked puzzled.

"Prince Jin, don't storytellers often say that Taishi has Juelong Ridge and Pang Fengchu has Luofengpo?"

Dou Mingwang suddenly laughed and said: "My surname is Dou, which is homophonic with Dou, but the place where the King of Jin set up an ambush was Mopan Mountain. The beans fell into the Mopan and shattered into pieces! There is no chance of survival. This Mopan Mountain is probably my burial place." .”

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of Li Dingguo and the generals sank.

"But I have been on the battlefield for more than 20 years, and I am not afraid of death. It's just..."

Dou Mingwang sneered and his face became ferocious.

"It's just that even if I die! I will drag Wu Sangui, the biggest traitor in the world, to be buried with me!"

"Although I am a martial artist and not as good as Wen Zhong and Pang Tong, I still want to let the world see the majesty of my fame in Mopan Mountain!"

"The King of Jin, the last general requested to be appointed as the First Lieutenant. When Wu Sangui's troops arrive, I will die or live. Either Wu Sangui will give me the head, or I will be thrown into a millstone and be shattered to pieces!"

Li Dingguo's eyes turned red when he heard this. Dou Mingwang was determined to die.

The generals were deeply moved when they heard the words, and they all persuaded Dou Mingwang.

"Old Dou, we still have to follow the King of Jin and help the Ming Dynasty. You can't die on Mopan Mountain!"

"Okay, okay, that's it. There's no need to talk nonsense."

"In the battle at Mopan Mountain, our army is weak. If we want to gain full victory, we must kill the general and seize the flag, and kill Wu Sangui first!

"In this way, I, with six thousand warriors, can annihilate tens of thousands of Tartars!"

"Only then will the King of Jin have the opportunity to gather the remnant armies in Yongchang, regain military power, and then regain Yunnan and help the Ming Dynasty!"

Dou Mingwang laughed loudly and said: "In that case, I, Dou Mingwang, will go and take Wu Sangui's head for the King of Jin!"

When the generals heard this, their noses felt sour.

Dou Mingwang decided to lead his troops into Wu Sangui's army and take off Wu Sangui's head.

This move is almost life-or-death.

Seeing their comrades for many years determined to die, the Jin generals were filled with sadness.

"Prince Jin, my title is Tai'an Bo. This battle is our last chance. If we can kill Wu Sangui and ensure that the King of Jin and the court are in Tai'an, I, Dou Mingwang, will be worthy of the word Tai'an." Dou Mingwang knelt down on one knee. Kneel down and ask for orders.

"Okay." Li Dingguo had tears in his eyes.

"In this battle, you, Mingwang, will be the first lieutenant, and Wengui will take the second position."

"Hahahahaha." Dou Mingwang laughed heartily after hearing this.

"Comrades, if I can kill Wu Sangui, then everyone will be happy."

"But if I, Dou Mingwang, let this traitor Wu Sangui escape before my beans fall into the millstone and my body is shattered to pieces!"

"Please all of you, kill this traitor for me! Avenge me! If I didn't have this traitor by my side on the road to hell, I, my old Dou, would never die in peace!"

"Don't worry, Uncle Tai'an. If anything happens, we will kill Wu Sangui!" Gao Wengui and the others knelt down on one knee and bowed down to Dou Mingwang.

"Okay, I, Lao Dou, will go see the younger ones first." Dou Mingwang laughed loudly and turned around.

"You all should disperse." Li Dingguo sighed.

Six thousand people went to fight tens of thousands of tiger and wolf troops. After this battle, even if they were victorious, there was no telling how many people would not be able to come back.Letting the Jin generals meet their families is the only thing Li Dingguo can do now.

"Prince Jin, let me say goodbye!" Gao Wengui bowed his hands and left one after another.

That afternoon, outside Yongchang City, four thousand soldiers and horses guarded Yongli and hundreds of civil and military officials, who were about to leave for Tengyue.

"Take care, dear!" Emperor Yongli held Li Dingguo's hand tightly, reluctant to let go.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will stop the Qing army in Yongchang and your Majesty will not be harmed in the slightest!" Li Dingguo said solemnly.

"With your words, I feel relieved."

Emperor Yongli sighed and turned around to leave.

"Prince Jin, take care!" Jin Tongwu knelt in front of Li Dingguo and bowed his hands in salute.

"Tongwu, the safety of the emperor and the civil and military officials is entrusted to you."

"Prince Jin, please rest assured, even if Tongwu dies, he will keep the emperor safe!" Jin Tongwu swore.

"With Tongwu's words, I can rest assured." Li Dingguo said happily.

In the afternoon of the same day, Emperor Yongli set out and took away Li Dingguo's 6000 soldiers and horses, leaving only [-] people in Yongchang, preparing for a decisive battle with the Manchu pursuers.

"The ministries immediately abandoned Yongchang and went to Mopan Mountain to set up an ambush. In Wu San Province, you will lead the remaining soldiers nearby as backup for the ministries."

"Yes!" Wu Sansheng accepted the order with his hands raised.

Li Dingguo looked back at Yongchang City, which had many connections with him, and sighed.

A year ago, he was reorganizing Wang Ziqi's troops here.

Unexpectedly, a year later, he would be here preparing for his last fight.

I just don’t know if he can come back after leaving Yongchang this time?
That night, Li Dingguo evacuated Yongchang City and led his troops to Mopan Mountain to set up an ambush.

Six thousand Ming troops hid in the dense forests on both sides of Mopan Mountain, holding back and waiting quietly for the arrival of Wu Sangui and Duni's army.

In the leap month of the 16th year of Shunzhi, Wu Sangui, Zhao Butai and others defeated Bai Wenxuan in a row, conquered many areas, and advanced to the vicinity of the Lancang River, and were about to attack Yongchang.

Lu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of Bai Wenxuan's command, was seriously injured and captured by the Qing army while covering the retreat of the main force.

"Reporting to King Ping Xi, our army defeated the Ming army, wiped out thousands of enemies, and captured one enemy general alive. Unfortunately, Bai Wenxuan escaped."

Wu Sangui was sitting in front of the commander's case, reading the military newspaper. When he heard the report, he immediately shouted: "Bring it to the account!"

Soon, Lu Sangui was pushed into the tent by several guards.

Looking at Lu Sangui with his face covered in blood and tied up by Wu Hua Da, Wu Sangui's heart moved.

He has always loved talents. Since going south, he has taken over a large number of soldiers and generals.

And Lu Sangui in front of him could tell at a glance that he was an extraordinary person. Wouldn't it be a pleasure if he could be taken under his command?
"General, who are you under Bai Wenxuan's command?" Wu Sangui asked.

Lu Sangui held his head high and glanced at Wu Sangui disdainfully.

He responded loudly: "I am Lu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of Yongping in the Ming Dynasty!"

"Sangui?" Wu Sangui said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the general has the same name as me."

Lu Sangui was arrogant and sneered: "You are the traitor Wu Sangui, and I am Lu Sangui, the loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. I am a noble man who stands upright, how can I have the same name as the traitor?"

When Wu Sangui heard this, he became furious and punched Shuai An hard.

Although he became a traitor, he was most afraid of others calling him a traitor.

How could Wu Sangui not be angry when someone poked him in such a painful spot?
"A nameless rat dares to call me by my name. I really don't know the heights of heaven and earth!"

Lu Sangui showed no sign of weakness and retorted sarcastically: "Your Sangui is the third of the three surnamed family slaves. My Sangui is the third of the three mountains and five mountains. Your death will be despised by thousands of people. My death is as heavy as three mountains. I will be famous for generations to come." I don’t want you to linger and be in disgrace for thousands of years!”

After hearing this, Wu Sangui became even more angry. He stood up and walked up to Lu Sangui in a few steps. He pointed at his nose and cursed angrily: "You are a fool who doesn't know how to live or die. I think you are tired of living!"

Lu Sangui had already put life and death aside, and couldn't help laughing and said: "I have already had enough of your grandma's traitor. I will kill or behead you today, so please do as you please! Why say more?"

"How presumptuous! This king treats you with courtesy, but you, a common man, are barking and barking in the handsome tent!"

Wu Sangui was furious and said: "Believe it or not, this king will cut you into pieces with a thousand swords and execute you in Lingchi!"

"Hahaha! Wu Sangui! You are a slave with three surnames, but as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, you first surrendered to Queen Chuang and then surrendered to the Tatars!"

"I am a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, so how can I be afraid of you? Come on! Kill your Grandpa Lu!"

"It's just that after I die, I will be famous forever and my name will go down in history. But sooner or later, you, a traitor, will die a tragic death and be reviled by the world! You will never be able to turn around! You will never be able to turn around!"

Lu Sangui was not afraid at all, and went after Wu Sangui's pain points and cursed loudly.

Although Wu Sangui was a traitor and a domestic slave with the third surname, could such a thing be said to him in front of him?
"Come here! What are you waiting for! Drag him down! I'll cut him to pieces with a thousand swords!" Wu Sangui said angrily.

"Hahaha! Wu Sangui! I'm waiting for you in the underworld!"

As Lu Sangui laughed loudly, several guards behind him immediately came forward, grabbed his arm, and pulled him out of the tent.

After Lu Sangui was defeated, Wu Sangui and others led the main force of the Qing army to the Lancang River, hoping to seize the iron cable bridge and head straight to Yongchang.

Under Bai Wenxuan's command, Yanshi Hou Zheng Wenxiong, who was responsible for breaking up the rear, saw the smoke and dust behind him and knew that the pursuers had arrived, so he immediately ordered the entire army to meet the enemy.

More than a thousand officers and soldiers of the Ming Army stood ready with their backs against the cliffs on the river bank.

"Brothers, behind us is the Lancang River. We have no way to retreat. Instead of drowning in the river, it is better to fight to the death with the Qing army. Kill one to make up for the loss, kill two to make a profit!"

"Fight them!" Encouraged by Zheng Wenxiong, more than a thousand Ming army officers and soldiers all shared the same hatred and put life and death at risk.

Seeing the Qing cavalry getting closer and closer, Zheng Wenxiong resolutely ordered: "Fire arrows!"

Following the order, the Ming army archers arrayed behind the sword and shield soldiers shot arrows into the sky that were already on their strings. Then they drew arrows from their quivers and fired again at the charging Guan Ning cavalry. passed.

Arrows rained down for a while, and many Qing troops were knocked off their horses. However, there were not many arrows left by the Ming army, and they were quickly used up.

Zheng Wenxiong frowned and ordered again: "Hand in your guns and prepare!"

Upon hearing the order, the soldiers of the Ming army holding the cross-gun immediately thrust the cross-gun forward, and the tip of the spear thrust out, directly into the body of the Qing army rushing at the front, followed by bursts of painful wails. A large number of Qing soldiers were shot through their bodies and fell straight off their horses, dying.

The fierce battle lasted from early morning to dusk. Under the overwhelming numerical superiority, the balance of victory gradually began to tilt towards the Qing army. Even though the Ming army soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy, they were unable to defeat the four-handed man with two fists, and the Qing army's encirclement shrank smaller and smaller. The bodies of both sides were scattered all over the river, and the blood stained the cliffs red.

In the end, Wu Sangui chased to Yulong Pass, but Bai Wenxuan was defeated. Wenxiong counterattacked with thousands of brave soldiers. From morning to evening, thousands of people died in the battle. Wenxiong was seriously injured and died. His wife Xia Shi and his son Zheng Tong committed suicide.
