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

A heroic war song played on the grassland. In the last few days of February, Zhang Sheng and others led their troops out of the fortress and were about to compose an epic poem.

At the same time, Wu Jun, who had been trekking for three months in Sichuan, finally went through many difficulties and dangers and arrived at Baoning City.

"Your Majesty, our army has braved thorns and thorns and traveled for three months, and now it has finally arrived in Baonyeong." General Xia Guoxiang said with emotion as he looked at Baonyeong City Wall in the distance.

Wu Sangui also sighed when he heard this. It is difficult to escape the thousands of miles of no man's land in Sichuan.

It took him two months to travel south from Baoning to Chongqing without any troops from the Western Camp to stop him.

Now the main force is running from Kunming to Wuding and out of Jianchang, but then takes Chengdu to Baoning. If it were not for the elite soldiers and horses under his command, it would not take these three months.

Fortunately, he defeated King Xi, no, King Wu Sangui of Zhou finally arrived!

"Where are Hu Guozhu's troops now?"

"My lord, I don't know yet, but the time it took them to go north from Guizhou to Chongqing and then up the river was almost as long as the main force of our army." Xia Guoxiang said.

"The Sichuan Tartars have no soldiers, so I am not worried that Hu Guozhu's troops will suffer losses, but we have to capture Baoning City quickly, and there is no room for carelessness!" Wu Sangui said slowly.

Now more than three months have passed since the troops were launched in December.

Except for spending some time effortlessly collecting the soldiers and horses of the Western Camp in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, Wu Sangui spent the rest of his time on the march.

The thousands of miles of uninhabited land in Sichuan caused greater difficulties to the Wu army than to the Qing army.

Now we have finally arrived in Boryeong, and time waits for no one.

No matter from any aspect, Wu Sangui should attack the city immediately.

"The whole army crossed the Jialing River and lined up fifteen miles across. They blocked Jiameng Pass in the north and Liangshan Pass in the east! Surround Baoning City! Then send people into the city to recruit surrender!" Wu Sangui was full of confidence and issued his order.

However, as soon as this statement came out, the generals were in an uproar.

"My lord, if you arrange your troops like this, I'm afraid you will follow in the footsteps of the King of Shu!" Gao Cheng'en, the general of the Shu vassal, said worriedly.

Liu Wenxiu's attack on Baoning in the past was exactly the same as Wu Sangui's today.

Li Dingguo overthrew Kong Youde in Guilin, and Liu Wenxiu was in Baoning in order to compete and overthrow Wu Sangui, the leader of the Han Dynasty, to suppress Li Dingguo's limelight.

He put more than 50,000 of his troops at Jiameng Pass to the north and Liangshan Pass to the east, forming a line of fifteen miles. Wu Sangui was afraid that the siege would not be strict and he would flee, so that he could not overthrow the famous king.

There is another similarity, that is, Wu Sangui's main force is now in Baoning, but his partial force Hu Guozhu is still going up the Jialing River.

In the past, Liu Wenxiu's main force arrived in Baoning, and his partial commander Bai Wenxuan also moved up the Jialing River to reinforce Baoning.

If Liu Wenxiu could wait a few more days for Bai Wenxuan's tens of thousands of troops to arrive, Liu Wenxiu's number of troops would surge to 70,000.

With the addition of more than 10,000 elite troops from Bai Wenxuan and twice the strength of the Wu army, it was almost impossible to lose the Battle of Baoning.

However, things are unpredictable, and Liu Wenxiu lost the battle of Baoning so dramatically when the flying dragon was riding on his face.

He also lost the general Wang Fuchen and most of his troops.

If the Great Western Army on the North Road can retain its strength, then when Sun Guozhu leads the front army out of Guizhou, the soldiers and horses that will meet up will not only be the more than 10,000 Bai Wenxuan, but the 50,000 Western Army on the North Road!

It can be said that the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses lost by Liu Wenxiu will break the balance of the Hunan battlefield after Li Dingguo's departure.

However, history is so cruel. The Western Army's Northern Expedition was certainly heart-wrenching.

However, in Hunan and Guangxi, Li Dingguo only killed the commander-in-chief Hao Xiaozhong and his 5,000 green battalion elite soldiers in Jingzhou.

In the great victory of Guilin, only Kong Youde's 10,000-strong troops were killed, and Dingnan Fan's 20,000 elite soldiers were still left with eight or nine thousand.

Nikan was defeated in the Hengyang victory, but the Eight Banners' losses were not significant at all.

In Sichuan, Liu Wenxiu only killed thousands of Wu Sangui's elite sporadically in Xuzhou and other places, and Wu Sangui's main force still remained.

The Qing court suffered a lot of losses among its elite soldiers, but for Xiying, in the Battle of Baoning alone, almost all of Xiying's strategic corps was wiped out, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers were lost.

After the fork-in-the-road battle was completed, with Li Dingguo fleeing and Liu Wenxiu defeated, Xiying's losses actually far exceeded those of the Manchus. Lord Sun's 200,000-strong army only had a mere 100,000 left.

Although the Qing Dynasty also suffered tens of thousands of losses, most of the losses were composed of surrendered troops and generals from the Southern Ming Dynasty, a ragtag group of people.

The losses of elite soldiers were far less than those of Xiying.

It can be said that in terms of tactics, Xiying was defeated by the Manchus.

Fortunately, Sun Guozhu has a strong ability to recover blood, so the losses of Xiying can be quickly replenished, and an absolute strength advantage is formed over the Qing army in Huguang.

However, in that war, the three brothers' respective mistakes could not break the situation, and they eventually collapsed in internal strife.

Now, the story has moved on, and Wu Sangui seems to be repeating Liu Wenxiu's story in Boryeong.

"Your Majesty, the art of war has it that a besieging army must be defeated. In the past, our army was surrounded by the King of Shu's army in Baoning. There was no way to retreat. Therefore, the soldiers fought to the death and finally turned defeat into victory."

"Now in the hometown of Baoning, if our army follows the method of the King of Shu, I am afraid that something unexpected will happen!" General Hu Shouliang spoke up and expressed the thoughts of the generals.

For a time, everyone made suggestions, but they all disagreed with Wu Sangui's plan. In the past, he could surround the army and win the Battle of Baoning stably.

However, Wu Sangui was noncommittal and laughed loudly after hearing this.

"Everyone, you only know one but not the other."

"Oh? I wonder what your lord has in mind?" the generals asked suspiciously.

Wu Sangui waved his hand and pointed at Baoning City and said: "In the past, during the Northern Expedition of the King of Shu, he defeated me seven times in a row in Sichuan. However, when we arrived at Baoning, the main force under Gu's command was still there, and he still had the strength to fight."

"If he disperses his troops under such circumstances and surrounds Baoning, he will undoubtedly expose his flaws and give Gu Ke an opportunity to take advantage of him!"

"But now, Gu leads an army of 120,000 to Boryeong, and the king's tripod in the city only has more than 10,000 troops."

"There is a saying in the art of war: if you are ten, besiege it, and if you are five, attack it. With my 120,000 troops, what's the harm even if Baoning is completely trapped and killed?"

As soon as these words came out, all the generals nodded.

Wu Sangui said it right, strength is the root of everything.

Liu Wenxiu led more than 50,000 people to surround Wu Sangui's main force, which would naturally reveal flaws.

But now Wu Sangui has surrounded Wang Zhiding's more than 10,000 people with 120,000 soldiers and horses. With a tenfold difference in strength, even if the city is surrounded on all sides, there will be no flaws!

There is a saying that goes like this: No matter how many ways you come, I will only go one way.

But if the enemy can't even defeat him all the way, can this division of troops be considered wrong?

With the strength of Wu's army at this time, they were arrayed fifteen miles across, following Liu Wenxiu's old example. If the strength was different, the natural result would be different.

"Your Majesty, having said that, our army is besieging the city on all sides and will not give Wang Zhiding a way to retreat, although the outcome of the war will not change."

"But if he is trapped and still fighting, it will take a lot of effort for our army to capture Baoning."

"It would be better to open a way and give Wang Zhiding a way to survive. In this way, Baoning can easily get it!" said the fierce general Gao Dejie.

Hearing this, Wu Sangui laughed again and said: "Haha, what a big deal, you only know one but not the other." "In the past, when the king of Japan was trapped in Baoning, all the soldiers and horses under his command were loyal and righteous."

"Whether it is the pillars of the country, the prime minister of the country, Ping Fan, or you Gao Dajie, they are all loyal ministers and fierce generals under my king, so our army can fight to the death."

"But the King's Cauldron in Baonyeong City is different from this King."

"I have been in Hanzhong for ten years, and all the soldiers and horses in the northwest have old ties with me."

"In addition, now that Sun Kewang has captured the south of the Yangtze River, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is gone. The more than 10,000 green troops under his command have no intention of fighting to the death for the Manchu Qing Dynasty."

"Our army surrounded the city with hundreds of thousands of troops and did not give them a way out."

"Under heavy pressure, if we send people to surrender again, even if Wang Zhiding is unwilling to surrender to me, the Green Camp soldiers under his command will not want to be buried with the Manchus, and they will also have the heart to rebel."

"In this way, not only Baoning will be at your fingertips, but even the elite troops deployed by Obai in Baoning will be available to me!"

As soon as these words came out, all the generals were filled with emotion.

"Your Majesty uses troops like this, and he can see fire like a fire, I will admire him!" All the generals of the Wu clan bowed their hands in admiration.

Wu Sangui's skill in using troops is of course nothing to say. Although he almost fell into the hands of Li Dingguo at Mopan Mountain, he was able to counterattack Liu Wenxiu in a desperate situation in Baoning.

At this time, after years of training, he has gone beyond the scope of a simple military commander, and has become able to discern people's hearts and influence the political situation.

The green camp soldiers need to be forced.

Once they are forced into a desperate situation, their loyalty to the Qing Dynasty will be shaken.

Soon, 120,000 Wu troops laid siege to the city and completely surrounded Baonyeong City.

The 10,000 armored soldiers and more than 10,000 Qing troops who guarded the city looked at the Wu army's formation outside the city, and they were instantly filled with fear and fear.

At this moment, Wu Jun's envoy entered the city and brought news of the surrender.

In Baoning City, the commander-in-chief Wang Zhiding sat in the lobby with a livid face. The people around him were all the generals of the Green Camp.

"Let's talk about it. The Wu army has laid siege to the city. What should our army do?" Wang Zhiding said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the lobby.

Wang Zhiding glanced at his Chinese guerrilla Cai Yingbiao and said, "Cai Yingbiao, what do you think about this matter?"

"Mr. Sir, you are a young man with few talents and little knowledge. How can you know what to do?" Cai Yingbiao declined.

"Cai Guoqi, everyone says that you are the most capable general under my command in charging into battle. As of now, the Wu army has laid siege to the city."

"Baoning City is in danger, you can't refuse!" Wang Zhiding tried.

For the current plan, whether to fight or defend, surrender or escape, we must explore the attitude of our subordinates.

Otherwise, Wang Zhiding himself would be in danger.

"Master, the general is just a small guerrilla, so what can you say?"

Cai Yingbiao cupped his hands and said, "I will follow the general's lead. Whatever the general asks me to do, I will do whatever I want."

"Oh? Really?" Wang Zhiding said coldly: "Then I want you to lead troops to attack the Wu army camp at night?"

"Please rest assured, sir, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, the general will still be willing to move forward for the boss!" Cai Yingbiao looked upright and loyal.

Wang Zhiding stared at Cai Yingbiao, then glanced at the generals, and sighed in his heart.

"Cai Youyi, save it, your trick was already used twenty years ago!"

Cai Yingbiao was shocked when he heard this, and his hands unconsciously touched his waist.

"Don't worry, I and you are both brothers, why is it necessary?"

Wang Zhiding sighed and said: "Now that we have been friends for so many years, you don't need to pretend anymore."

"Those who have not hooked up with the Wu army outside the city, or have not hooked up yet and are ready to offer the city, please step back."

For a moment, there was a faint sound of retreating, and a few green camp generals in the lobby took a step back.

Then he stared at the people who didn't retreat with big eyes and small eyes, and couldn't help but take a step forward.

Wang Zhiding's jaw dropped when he saw the scene in front of him.

Wu Sangui knew that he had deep penetration into Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp.

Even if the army besieged the city of Bonyeong and the green camp had no way out, it would inevitably lead to dissatisfaction. This he also knew.

But is it too scary that all the people under his command want to vote for Wu Sangui?

Don't the green camps in the city have any moral integrity?

Is there any royal law for this? Is there any law for this?

Under the bright sky, Baoning's generals turned out to be like this.

This had to make Wang Zhiding take a breath, remembering the bloody scenes he experienced when he followed his father Wang Shixuan to the Qing Dynasty!

"It seems that I still underestimate you." Wang Zhiding looked at the people under his command and gritted his teeth: "What? Is it possible that you are planning to kidnap me and surrender to Wu Sangui?"

"The boss is joking." Deputy General Wang Jinzhong said: "Brothers have been with the boss for many years, how could they do this to him?"

"It's just that the Tatars are declining, and King Pingxi is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. He is extremely kind to us, Green Camp."

"Now he has come to Baonyeong with an army of hundreds of thousands. Our Baonyeong Green Camp is not the Eight Banners. The Manchus are left to the Manchus. Why should we Han people fight a bloody battle for the Tatars' country and the peaceful Western King?"

Wu Sangui has been in Hanzhong for ten years and has already won the hearts of Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp.

Now that soldiers are besieging the city, since Boryeong Green Camp is unwilling to fight to the death for our Qing Dynasty and has no way out, their choice is naturally self-evident.

"Master, you are good to your brothers, and they don't want to embarrass you."

Another Green Camp general said: "If it were anyone else, the brothers would have already taken action."

"Up to now, King Pingxi has worshiped Zhengshuo of the Ming Dynasty, respected Zhu Youlang, and became the king of Zhou of the Ming Dynasty."

"The Tatars have always despised us Han people. Now that King Pingxi is here, why should we be dogs for the Tatars!"

"That's right!" Cai Yingbiao was so angry that he fell to his knees.

"The boss is kind to the brothers. The brothers also want the boss to lead them towards a better future. Please ask the boss to lead the brothers to stay in Boryeong anyway!"

"Please, sir, please take the brothers and stay in Baoning anyway!" A group of green camp generals knelt on one knee and begged.

Wang Zhiding looked at everything in front of him with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Ao Shaobao has treated us well. If we vote for King Pingxi, can we be worthy of Ao Shaobao?"
