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

On the banks of the Yongshui River, a cavalry unit marched rapidly under the banner of the Qing army.

"Report! Fifty miles away from here, the rebels have a large camp and a pontoon bridge!" A scout hurriedly reported.

Xiang Gushan'e Zhenluotuo reported the general situation of the enemy.

"What's the situation in Fengxiang City?" Luo Tuo asked on his horse.

"Master, the rebels have cut off Fengxiang, and I have yet to find out whether Fengxiang City is still in the hands of the Qing Dynasty..." the scout said cautiously.

Luo Tuo frowned when he heard this, and then glanced at the scout.

When the scout saw this, his heart rose in his throat.

But then Lotto waved his hand and said slowly: "Go down and rest."

"Thank you, master. Thank you, master." The scout bowed and retreated as if he had received an amnesty.

"Master, Wang Jinbao, a Han dog, rebelled and opened the way for the Wu army to advance north."

"If Fengxiang has been occupied by him, then Wu Sangui can directly enter the pass!" A group of Eight Banners generals spoke one after another, their words full of worry.

Since Wu Sangui marched north, Baoning City fell without a fight, and Hanzhong civil and military groups responded.

Moreover, Wang Jinbao, who had been given hope by Obai, raised troops from Lueyang and deceived the city all the way to Fengxiang City.

Such a serious situation cast a heavy shadow on the Qing army.

So since receiving the news, Obai asked Luotuo to lead five thousand fine cavalry to rush to Fengxiang's aid.

In the past, Anxi had thousands of miles of territory, but today the border defense is in Fengxiang.

With both Qinling and Hanzhong being broken through, it is very likely that the main force of the Wu army will break into Shaanxi and Gansu.

Fengxiang became the last barrier to defend Qinchuan in Guanzhong.

Once Fengxiang is successfully attacked by Wang Jinbao, there will no longer be any obstacle for the Wu army to enter the Guanzhong Plain.

"Wang Jinbao's camp is outside Fengxiang City. If he has captured Fengxiang, he will enter the city to guard it and buy time for Wu Sangui's main force to arrive."

"And now, the rebels are still setting up camp and outside the city, so Fengxiang is most likely still in the hands of our Qing Dynasty!" Luo Tuo said slowly after thinking for a moment.

As soon as these words came out, smiles appeared on the faces of the generals.

If Fengxiang was still in the hands of the Qing army, then the current situation would not be irreversible.

On the contrary, once Fengxiang is captured by Wang Jinbao and hundreds of thousands of Wu troops break into the Guanzhong Plain, the Qing Dynasty's situation in Shaanxi and Gansu will be completely hopeless.

"Master, if this is the case, our army should move in quickly to rescue Feng Xiang!"

"If we hesitate, once the important town of Fengxiang is lost, the situation of our Qing Dynasty in Shaanxi and Gansu will not be good!" an Eight Banners counselor said.

"That's right, our army should move in quickly and let Wang Jinbao throw a rat-proof weapon. We don't dare to have any ill thoughts about Feng Xiang."

"Once the siege of Fengxiang is relieved, Shaobao's tens of thousands of troops can gain a foothold in Fengxiang and confront Wu Sangui's 100,000 troops here."

"As long as I, the Qing Dynasty, can persist for a while, then Wu Sangui of Yunnan and Guizhou will definitely not be able to persist for a long time!" The other Eight Banners generals also spoke one after another, stating their power.

Now Wu Sangui is coming fiercely. The natural dangers of Qinling Mountains and Hanzhong once stopped the talented Zhuge Wuhou.

However, after running Hanzhong for ten years, Wu Sangui had disciples and old officials all over the northwest, and the mountains, rivers and humanity were all in his heart.

The natural dangers in the Qinling Mountains and Hanzhong seem to be in vain.

Now Aobai's arrangements in Baoning, Hanzhong, and Lueyang have almost collapsed.

Only Yild was left to return to defend Nanzheng and contain the Wu army's strength.

Now only by rescuing Fengxiang and taking control of this important town in the western border of Guanzhong, can the Qing army deploy another line of defense to defend Guanzhong.

As long as they can defend Guanzhong, even if the hundreds of thousands of Wu troops gain access to Gansu and Longxi, they will not be able to hold on for long.

Because although Wu Sangui has strong troops, he only has the broken Yunnan and Guizhou behind him, and he is simply unable to fight a long-term war of attrition with Ao Bai!

After hearing the generals' suggestions, Lotto fell into thinking.

After a moment, he said slowly: "Wang Jinbao raised his troops to rebel and led Wu Sangui into Shaanxi and Gansu."

"Wu Sangui's main force is still in the process of advancing, and the only troops under his command are his own troops."

"The rebels came here from Lueyang and defeated Maling, Fengxian, Sanguan and Baoji."

"The speed with which he can advance his troops is evident."

"But in this case, the rebels attacked the city and overcame the pass, relying entirely on deception and intimidation. Wang Jinbao's troops must not be able to carry the red-coated cannon."

"And if Fengxiang is still in the hands of my Qing Dynasty, then the city must be well prepared, and Wang Jinbao's extraordinary army cannot break the city."

"Therefore, although our army has great military strength and speed, there is no need to strive for temporary gains."

"What do you mean, Master..." a group of Eight Banners generals asked.

Luo Tuo looked at the map and spoke again: "I intend to lead the elite cavalry to build a pontoon bridge and cross the Yong River. Then I will surprise Wang Jinbao's troops, seize the pontoon bridge, and cut off their return."

"In this way, we only need to block his main force east of Yongshui for three to five days. When Ao Shaobao leads tens of thousands of troops, the thief will be completely wiped out and captured without a fight!"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the Eight Banners generals brightened.

After hearing Luo Tuo's analysis, everyone felt that if Wang Jinbao failed to succeed in his surprise attack on Fengxiang, then if their five thousand elite cavalry did not go directly to Fengxiang and then cross the Yong River and steal the rebels' escape route, then Wang Jinbao would die without a burial. Earth!

"My master knows how to watch fire and uses his troops like a god. The servants admire him!" All the generals of the Eight Banners raised their hands in admiration.

Seeing this, Luo Tuo also let out a long sigh.

He is now forty-four years old. He went into battle to kill the enemy when he was fifteen. When he was eighteen, he followed Huang Taiji into the customs and looted in the Datong area.

After that, he went through many battles and served as the general of Jingnan in Ningnan. He took over the land in western Hunan and eastern Guizhou for the Qing Dynasty, and invaded Guiyang.

It's just that since the Battle of Mopanshan, our Qing Dynasty has been in a bad year, and many veterans who were originally few have died in large numbers.

Now Bashan is dead, Zhao Butai is dead, and even most of the new Eight Banners newcomers have withered away.

Now he, the veteran general, will die in the war with the Han people who knows when.

It’s just that now, we in the Qing Dynasty have nothing to do.

Now that we have entered the barrier, we must fight on.

Now Luotuo's only choice is to fight a good battle and help Obai stabilize the situation in Shaanxi and Gansu!

Soon, the five thousand Qing troops stopped advancing and stayed on the banks of the Yong River.

The Eight Banners soldiers dismounted to recharge their batteries, and the Aha servants who accompanied the army began to cut down trees and build a pontoon bridge in the Yong River.

After most of the day's efforts, the two pontoon bridges were erected in the small Yong River in the early morning of the next day.

The Qing cavalry began to cross the river in an orderly manner.

Luo Tuo looked around, feeling a little excited in his heart.

According to the intelligence of the sentry cavalry, Wang Jinbao camped south of Fengxiang, with a pontoon bridge in the Yong River and left luggage.

As long as the Qing cavalry completes crossing the river, then this afternoon the Qing army will be able to reach Wang Jinbao's old camp where the supplies are located, seize the rebels' pontoon bridge, and seal the victory.

Once this battle is won, not only can the important town of Fengxiang be preserved, but also Guanzhong can be defended.

It can also boost the overall morale of the Qing army and prevent more unrest.

The situation in our Qing Dynasty is unfavorable now, and it is the time when we need to win the battle!

However, at this moment, a Qing army scout hurriedly came to report.

"Report—the rebels have withdrawn!"

A shout reached Luo Tuo's ears, causing his expression to change greatly. "What did you say!" He hurriedly moved forward and came to the scout's side.

"Report to the master, the king's army burned the camp, and the whole family evacuated to the west bank through the pontoon bridge. They are already planning to run away!"

"What!" Luo Tuo was shocked, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Returning a Wang Jinbao, he is indeed a soldier of the Green Camp!"

Yesterday, the Qing army sentry cavalry continuously inspected the situation of Wang Jinbao's headquarters.

This situation must have been known to Wang Jinbao.

It is estimated that the traitor general knew that his troops were not far away from him, so he fled overnight to preserve his strength.

"Assemble the entire army and follow me north to intercept the rebels!"

Luo Tuo pointed his horse whip and ordered the Qing cavalry to assemble.

"Master, our army has just crossed the river with more than a thousand people. If this small number of people go north to intercept them, they will be trapped in the tiger's mouth!" The generals of the Eight Banners were shocked when they heard this and hurriedly persuaded them.

"No! Now people in Lvying are in a state of flux. First it's Wang Zhiding, then Wang Jinbao."

"Who knows how many of the 100,000 Han troops are ready to move!"

"If we don't win the battle, kill Wang Jinbao to improve morale, frighten the Han generals, and let them know the consequences of betraying me and the Qing Dynasty!"

"Then if something happens again, I'm afraid my Qing Dynasty won't even be able to defend Guanzhong!"

Luo Tuo spoke repeatedly, with a look of determination on his face.

Yes, Wang Zhiding and Wang Jinbao rebelled one after another. Who knows what Han generals like Zhang Yong and Zhao Liangdong would think in their hearts.

If he can't win a victory to stabilize people's hearts, I'm afraid that Obai will become the second Li Zicheng in Shaanxi and Gansu!

In the past, Wu Sangui rebelled in Shanhaiguan and led the Qing army into the pass.

Jiang Quan rebelled in Datong and led the Qing army into Jin.

Now Wang Zhiding rebelled in Baoning and led the Wu army northward.

Wang Jinbao rebelled in Lueyang and led the Wu army into Shaanxi.

If Luo Tuo can kill Wang Jinbao here, then our Qing Dynasty can still be saved.

Because if Li Zicheng could kill Jiang Yu in Datong, then Tang Tong and his gang would probably have to weigh the consequences of their rebellion.

It was precisely because Li Zicheng couldn't do anything to defeat Wu Sangui in Shanhaiguan, couldn't defeat Jiang Yu in Datong, and couldn't defeat Tang Tong in northern Shaanxi.

That's why the surrendered soldiers and generals had no worries about rebellion.

So no matter what, Luo Tuo had to find a way to kill Wang Jinbao.

Otherwise, the 100,000 Han troops in Shaanxi and Gansu are likely to be like the dozens of soldiers and horses in the north in the past, causing a series of rebellion climaxes!

He will bury our Qing Dynasty just like Dashun!

"I personally lead the charge. I will kill Wang Jinbao and let the Han people know the consequences of betraying me, the Qing Dynasty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luotuo jumped on his horse and galloped northward with a spear in hand. '

At the same time, more than 1,300 Qing cavalry followed him and quickly approached the rebels in the north.

Groups of Qing cavalry were trying their best to cross the river, and under the organization of officers, groups of Qing cavalry were supporting them northward.

"Quick! Get out!"

To the west of the Yong River, Wang Jinbao was riding a war horse and constantly ordered his infantry to retreat quickly.

However, at this moment, puffs of smoke suddenly rose from the commanding heights in the distance, which was a signal that the enemy was approaching.

"What! The Tatars are coming so soon!" Wang Jinbao was shocked.

"Master, fortunately we retreated quickly. It is probably the Tatar cavalry who set up a pontoon bridge overnight to cut off our retreat!" A close aide said, causing everyone to break out in a cold sweat.

Yes, although the Yonghe River is not big, it is still a natural chasm.

If Obai's vanguard marches from the east of the river, then Wang Jinbao will burn the pontoon bridge, and they will not be able to cross in a short time.

But now the enemy army appears not far away from him. This must be the way for the Tatars to steal his Wang Jinbao!

After figuring out the joints, Wang Jinbao gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! This dog Tatar is so sinister. If I hadn't acted quickly, I would have been intercepted in the east of the river!"

"All generals listen to the order, and after the elite cavalry is cut off, the infantry retreat quickly!"

"Yes!" All the close followers responded.

Wang Jinbao's 2,500 cavalrymen quickly assembled.

The Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp has always been the focus of the Qing court's training, and the reason is that no one else can defeat it.

Therefore, the cavalry under Wang Jinbao's command has always been quite large. After returning from the north, Obai added new soldiers and horses and mules.

Therefore, the proportion of horses in the king's army is approximately three steps and seven.

Except for the 500 cavalry who led the Wu army north, the rest of the cavalry were taken by Wang Jinbao, so the number of the king's cavalry was 2,500.

Soon, a cavalry force of more than a thousand people appeared in Wang Jinbao's telescope.

A Lotto's battle flag hung high, showing no fear in the eyes of the king's soldiers.

"What! It's Luo Tuo!" Wang Jinbao was surprised, but then he became suspicious.

"Loto came here with just such a small number of people. What is he going to do?"

"Master, don't worry about him. Brothers have long been angered by these sons of bitches Tatars."

"Luotuo only brought more than a thousand people, let's kill him just in time to avenge our dead brothers!" shouted a close aide of Wang Jinbao.

"Yes, the Tatars treat us Han people as pigs and dogs, killing and eating them at will."

"If we hadn't been lucky, we would have died in the mouths of the Tatars. In that case, let's have a bloody battle with the Tatars today and take revenge!" Another confidant said, leading everyone to become angry.

These people all survived from the mouths of the Tatars.

That scene in the past has become a lingering shadow for these soldiers anyway.

So when Luotuo had more than a thousand cavalry in front of them, the royal cavalry were all high-spirited and wanted to fight.

"Order the infantry to form a formation and prepare to respond!"

"Brothers, let's kill some Tatars first!"

After hearing what his soldiers said, Wang Jinbao gritted his teeth and prepared to kill a few Tatars first to enjoy himself.

In an instant, more than two thousand royal cavalry roared forward.

A trend of encirclement was formed against Luo Tuo.

A royal cavalryman bent his bow and set an arrow, while galloping on his horse, he aimed at the Qing cavalry.

Among the Qing cavalry, the Eight Banners soldiers had also skillfully drawn their hard bows.

"Fire arrows!"

Two voices sounded at the same time, and countless arrows roared out, each shooting at the enemy.

Along with the sounds, large numbers of royal and Qing troops fell one after another.

"Athletes of the Eight Banners, follow me to kill the generals, seize the flag, and make great achievements!"

Luotuo shouted loudly in the army and watched Wang Jinbao's battle flag control his horse and launch a fierce charge. (End of chapter)
