Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 420

Li Guoying's defeat in this battle was a bit muddled. Zhang Dingguo swung his troops out of the pass. He had no idea that he would be rushed by five hundred cavalry, causing chaos.

At this time, Jiao Guangqi, the general of the Western Army, died in the middle of the arrow. Li Guoying thought that he could take the opportunity to fight back, but Zhang Dingguo could grasp the opportunity better than him, and immediately shouted, "General Jiao died for the country, this hatred must not be avenged!"

The soldiers of the Western Army immediately went all out, like a tiger descending the mountain, and defeated the Qing army.

Zhang Dingguo defeated Li Guoying and chased him to the front of the Qing army camp. When he found that a large number of cavalry of the Qing army were gathering, he immediately withdrew his troops and returned to the pass.

At this time, Hauge, who came to the edge of Dazhai, looked at the strong general Daxi, who was retreating to Jitouguan with golden armor and golden armor, and couldn't help being stunned. The battle lasted almost half a cup of tea, and the seven thousand green battalion soldiers completely Disintegrated, Haug didn't even have time to command cavalry support.

"Who is this person?" Hauge asked, pointing at Zhang Dingguo's back with his whip.

A Qing general who fought against Zhang Dingguo at Dasan Pass replied: "My lord, this person is Zhang Ni's adopted son, the false Anxi king Zhang Dingguo!"

Hauge narrowed his eyes, and said to the left and right: "This thief's fighting method just now is the method used by Song general Zhang Zigai to defeat the Jin soldiers in Haizhou. This thief is good at grasping the opportunity of battle, and he is decisive in battle. He will definitely be another Wang Yan in the future." , has become my Great Qing’s trouble. If you can capture and kill this thief, this king will reward you very much.”

A group of Manchurian generals heard the words, but they didn't take it seriously. At this time, Li Guoying, who was defeated in the camp, came to Haoge with disheveled clothes and knelt down in front of Hauge. Defeated, please punish the prince."

The Qing army was defeated, but Hauge was not angry. He waved Li Guoying to get up, and then said: "You are not the opponent of Zhang Dingguo, go down and gather the defeated soldiers."

Li Guoying bowed his head and retreated, Wang Zuntan beside him said, "My lord, what about Jitouguan?"

Hauge really didn't expect that there would be a western army coming from the north to occupy Jitouguan. He was a little startled. He didn't expect Zhang Xianzhong's appetite to be so big, and he planned to encircle him in Hanzhong from the very beginning.

Hauge stared at Jitouguan. He really wanted to take back this pass just now, but Li Guoying was defeated, and the Western Army had stabilized his position. Now the attack must be useless, which made Hauge change his mind, "We don't want to Returning to Guanzhong, it doesn’t matter if Jitouguan is occupied by him. Since Zhang Xianzhong came suddenly, all western armies must have set out from their strongholds and rushed over to encircle and wipe out the king, haha~”

Wang Zuntan also echoed with a smile: "My lord slaughtered the horses and retreated to Baocheng. Zhang Xianzhong must have thought that the lord was exhausted and retreated, so he must raise a large army to chase after him, but he didn't think that the imperial army had already arrived at the Meridian Valley. Attracted by the prince to Baocheng, the imperial army will be able to enter Hanzhong from Ziwu Road and defeat the western bandits in one fell swoop."

Hauge nodded, "Zhang Xianzhong's field of vision is still too narrow. He only set his sights on the land of the Three Qins, but forgot that my Qing Dynasty has already occupied most of the world. He is doomed to fail this time."

At this time, a Qing general came to report suddenly: "Your Majesty, Governor Meng's troops retreated from Yangxian County. They are now being chased by the Western Army. They are only ten miles away from the camp. Would you like to send cavalry to meet them?"

Hearing this, Hauge was refreshed, "Let Xing Na lead the troops to meet him."

"Zha~" General Qing gave a full salute, got up and left immediately.

"My lord, the Western Army from Yang County has also been drawn out. It seems that the Western Army from Dingjun Mountain and Qingshiguan are coming soon."

After Azige and Wu Sangui failed to attack Huguang, they retreated to the land of Heluo. After the Qing court received Hauge's report, they held a big discussion in the court. According to Hong Chengchou's words, the Qing court decided to attack Shu first and seize this land of grain production.

According to Dorgon's strategy, because the Eight Banners soldiers suffered heavy losses on the Huguang battlefield, the Qing government began to implement the strategy of using Han to control the Han. The Eight Banners soldiers no longer served as the main force of the battle, but instead monitored and supervised the Han army to fight.

The Qing government decided to destroy Zhang Xianzhong first, so they even transferred Wu Sangui and several green battalions in Henan to make up [-] people, and ordered Oboi to lead [-] yellow flags, monitor them, and head to Hanzhong together.

Hauge originally planned to retreat to Guanzhong, but Oboi suddenly sent someone over, saying that he and Wu Sangui had arrived in Chang'an, Hauge immediately made a plan, and he led the Western Army to a decisive battle near Baocheng, while Wu Sangui and Aoboi suddenly killed each other. Entering Hanzhong, he encircled and wiped out the main force of the Western Army in the Hanzhong Basin in one fell swoop.

Hauge counted the time silently in his mind, and found that Meng Qiaofang was a little earlier than the scheduled time. He didn't know if Wu Sangui was about to leave Meridian Valley, but since the Western Army was about to approach Baocheng, he didn't Dare to neglect.

At this time, to the east of the Qing army's camp, a cloud of dust rose in the sky. A moment later, a large group of green battalion soldiers dropped their helmets and armor, dragged their flags and came out of the dust. They ran towards the Qing army's camp in horror.

The retreat of the ancient army was not an easy task, and a very small thing could turn the retreat into a rout.

Hauge asked Meng Qiaofang to withdraw his troops from Yangxian County, attracting the Yangxian defenders to pursue them, and weakening the strength of the Western Army of Yangxian County!In order for Wu Sangui to go smoothly, he suddenly entered Hanzhong from Ziwu Road in the north of Yang County. Meng Qiaofang knew in his heart that he was retreating to lure the enemy, but the ordinary Qing soldiers did not know. I just felt that the army was running out of food and the army was defeated. When Zhang Wenxiu chased after him, the retreat immediately turned into a rout across the board.

Meng Qiaofang, with more than 3 horsemen, was chased by more than 1 elite Western troops led by Zhang Wenxiu from Yang County to the vicinity of Baocheng, and retreated into the camp in a hurry. After entering the camp, the soldiers immediately sat down on the ground, panting, one by one. They were all in shock.

At this time, when the army was fleeing, Yang Qi's dusty sky, a gold-armored general appeared in Hauge's field of vision, and behind him was a gold-rimmed four-clawed dragon banner with the inscription "Zhang Wenxiu, King of Funan in the Great West". A moment later, A large number of Western troops appeared behind him, with banners and banners flying, and swords and guns everywhere.

The golden-armored general saw a cavalry rushing out of the Qing camp, so he waved his hand, and all the western troops behind him stopped immediately.

"My lord, there is also a team coming from the south."

Just when Hauge was observing Zhang Wenxiu’s men who came from Yang County to chase after him, in the south of the Qing camp, there were banners and flags all over the sky, a gold-armored western general, and behind him was the same banner with a golden banner, and he wrote "Zhang Nengqi, the king of Daxi Dingbei". , nearly 2 horses swarmed behind them, and slowly pushed towards the Qing camp.

"My lord, the west side is also here." Before Hauge could react, he heard the general shout again.The cold wind was howling, and the military flags were fluttering. Zhang Xianzhong stood under the big yellow banner with dragon patterns, and looked sternly at the Qing army camp in the distance.The [-] western troops marched slowly, the infantry formed a large formation, and the horse army wandered outside, with guns like forests, flags like clouds, and the spirit of murder was overwhelming.

In the northwest direction of Zhang Xianzhong, there is also a large banner of the king's flag, which is the [-] army of Pingdong King Zhang Kewang who rushed over from Wudu Mountain.

For a while, Hauge's remaining 5 Qing soldiers, together with Zhang Xianzhong's 13 Great Western Army, all assembled on the northern edge of the Hanzhong Basin, on the plains backed by the Qinling Mountains.

Hauge heard a series of reports, and his face revealed excitement, "Send the whole army to prepare for the battle. This king will wipe out all Zhang Ni's soldiers under the Qinling Mountains."

Right now Hauge can be said to be surrounded on all sides, but he has something in his heart, so don't blame him for being so arrogant. At this moment, he has more than 5 soldiers and horses in his hand, and Wu Sangui's soldiers who are about to come at the critical moment, and the battlefield It is also located in the wilderness, even if Zhang Xianzhong came with 20 horses, he would not be afraid.

At this time, he looked around and looked at the Western army in the distance. The Manchu prince smiled again, and said to the left and right: "This king is afraid that Zhang Ni will shrink in the city pass and refuse to come out to fight in the field. Now the Western thief The whole army is mobilized, and this king can't wait for it. Come on, today I, the Qing Dynasty, and the Western Bandits will have a showdown under the Qinling Mountains, and this king wants to see how many tricks Zhang Ni has."
