Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 709

The entire situation in the south of the Yangtze River changed drastically. As Long Wu and Jin Shenghuan rushed to Dashengguan, Wang Yan divided his troops to chase after it, and earth-shaking changes took place.

Boluo wanted to encircle and annihilate the Ming army in the middle of the western front, but Wang Yan wanted to pull the emperor out. After his troops joined, Boluo was not strong enough to complete the annihilation battle, so he could only issue orders to let the Qing soldiers on the periphery , and began to rush to Dashengguan in order to create a larger encirclement net and wrap Wang Yan in.

The Ming army naturally also felt the change in the battle situation. In the Ming army tent outside Xuancheng in Ningguo Mansion, Sun Shoufa, the right-wing leader, was listening to the report from Hu Yiqing.

"Commander, the congregation of the Heaven and Earth Society in Gaochun County came to tell you that three days ago, a Qing army of 2 people passed through Gaochun County and entered the back of Wuhu. Seal. Your Majesty and Jindu Town have already passed through Wuhu, and the Qing soldiers are probably trying to harm Your Majesty."

After hearing this, Sun Shoufa frowned, and his eyes fell on the map hanging in the tent. The emperor was eager to win, but the Chinese army was too aggressive, and the right wing, which was supposed to protect the Chinese army, was left far behind.

It was precisely because the distance between the two armies was widened that the Qing soldiers had the opportunity to pass through the gap between the two armies that was getting wider and wider, and the role of the right-wing army had been lost.

Sun Shoufa stared at the map, and the actions of the Qing army were obvious from the experience. This was to separate the Chinese army from the other Ming armies, and then carry out encirclement and suppression.

The Son of Heaven, the ruler of the country, must not lose anything!
Sun Shoufa quickly realized the seriousness of the problem, and many generals in the tent also became anxious.

If the army in the middle route was eaten up, what would they do for those partial divisions, and when they thought that the emperor was still in the army, everyone's liver trembled.

In this history, when the lord was captured and killed, which time did not set off a turbulent wave, and there was a danger of subjugation of the country and extinction of the species.

At this time, Sun Shoufa suddenly turned around and issued an order: "Send the order, the army is ready to pull out the camp, and the whole army is approaching the Dasheng Pass. Even if the whole army dies in battle, we must rescue Your Majesty!"

Hu Yiqing was solemn when he heard the sound, and clasped his fists solemnly: "The last general takes orders!"

After finishing speaking, he was about to go out to deliver the order, but the curtain was suddenly raised. Dian general Zhao Yinxuan rushed in and reported in a hurry: "Commander, Hengyang Fan has a message, saying that the Central Route Army is surrounded by the Qing army. Most of the Five Loyalists have rushed to Dashengguan to save them, let us block the Qing soldiers on the front line of Hangzhou and move closer to Dashengguan."

Sun Shoufa was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and Hu Yiqing also stopped. After a while, Sun Shoufa came back to his senses and asked, "How many troops did the Hengyang Fan bring and where did they go?"

"The [-] army has almost arrived in Wuhu, but it is currently stopped by a Qing army on the front line of the Qingge River."

After saying this, Sun Shoufa understood that the Qing soldiers who passed through Gaochun County were going to stop the Hengyang Fan.

"Master, what shall we do?"

Sun Shoufa said to let the army move closer to Dashengguan, but Hengyang Fan asked everyone to block Hangzhou and other peripheral Qing troops to reinforce Dashengguan. Hu Yiqing didn't know whether to follow the original order, so he asked.

The generals in the tent all turned their eyes to Sun Shoufa at this time. He pondered for a while, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "If 7 people from the Hengyang Fan rush to Dasheng Pass, with the strength of the Qing soldiers near Dasheng Pass As far as it is concerned, it should not be able to resist, and the Qing army must mobilize troops from the outside." He let out a breath, and said seriously: "Everyone, prepare to stop the enemy!"

The generals listened and looked at each other, but the first general asked worriedly: "Commander, the Hengyang Fan is not on good terms with His Majesty. Is it wrong for us not to rescue and pin our hopes on the Hengyang Fan?"

The troops led by Sun Shoufa were pulled together by Wanji, and almost all of them were die-hard imperialists.

The general's words can be regarded as asking the worries of many generals and schools. If the Hengyang Fan rescue is not careful, and they block it from the outside, who will rescue His Majesty?
Sun Shoufa frowned slightly. He had been an official for many years, so he naturally knew the tradition of infighting in the Ming Dynasty, but he was quite at ease with Wang Yan.

At the beginning, the Ming Dynasty was in an extremely dangerous situation. It was Wang Yan who contacted him to retreat from Hanzhong to Huguang, and then contacted Zhang Xianzhong to leave Sichuan. He shared most of the pressure for the Ming army, and the battle of Huguang turned things around.

Wang Yan is a person with a big picture. He has many opportunities to deal with the emperor. There is no need to stop the entire Jiangnan battle, and there is no need to let Dai Zhifan act as the left wing to protect the emperor.

Just as Sun Shoufa was thinking, another person came in from outside the tent, it was Zhang Jiayu, the supervisor. He saw that the tent was full of generals, he was slightly taken aback, his gaze fell on Sun Shoufa, and he walked over quickly, He saluted and said: "Commander, the spies have come to report that the King Lu's army in Siming Mountain was defeated by Zhejiang governor Xiao Qihui and retreated to the mountain. Now the Qing soldiers in Hangzhou seem to be coming from Zhili in the south."

After hearing this, the generals in the tent were in an uproar. Now Hengyang Fan wanted to sneak into the trap set by the Qing soldiers to catch the emperor. The soldiers continued to reinforce and repair the encirclement net, and the situation would change again. The Qing soldiers had a great possibility to trap Wang Yan in the net.

Sun Shoufa was no longer hesitant at this time. He was recommended by Wang Yan before he went to Jiangxi to serve. Now that the military situation is raging, he chooses to trust Wang Yan.

"Everyone, the situation has become clear at the moment. This town has decided to stay and block the movement of the Qing soldiers to Dasheng Pass."

"I'm willing to follow the commander in chief!" A group of generals knew the seriousness of the situation, they all clasped their fists to express their opinion, and the whole tent was chilled.

In Jiangbei, Li Guo, who was ordered to reinforce Dai Zhifan, led 3 horses and hurried to the front line of Hefei. In two days, he arrived at Lengshuiguan in the north of Lujiang County.

The army was rushing through the closed gate, when suddenly a group of cavalry rushed towards the closed gate against the direction of the team, causing a burst of confusion.

After closing the wall, Li Guo couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw this scene, then he flicked his cloak and walked down the gate quickly, all the generals also hurriedly followed.

As soon as he arrived at the pass, the team of cavalry had already arrived in front of him, all of them were covered in blood, and some of them still had feather arrows stuck in their bodies.

At this time, the leader of the horse turned over, Li Guo looked at his helmet, which had a pattern of a red bird printed on it, and was startled, could it be that Dai Zhifan was defeated?

All the divisions of the Five Loyalty Army can tell which division they belong to from the animal patterns on their helmets.

"Sun Shicheng, General Banner of Xiongsheng Battalion, Zhongyong Town, sees Li Du Town, Zhongzhi Town!" The cavalryman was also shot by an arrow, his face was a little pale, but he still saluted.

Li Guo hurriedly asked him to get up, and asked anxiously, "How is Zhongyong Town?"

"Report to Li Duzhen!" Sun Shicheng replied immediately: "Duoduo divided his troops to confront our army, and the main force has gone south."

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his armor and presented it, Li Guo hurriedly took it, opened it, his expression changed immediately.

After a while, he handed the letter to He Zhen, and Dang even ordered directly: "Command the army to stop moving forward, the whole army will turn to the southeast, and be sure to stop Duoduo."
