Chapter 204 Changde War (11)
The next day, the Ming army did not attack the mountain, but did not receive any news from Prince Xi, and Wu Sangui felt relieved.
If Prince Xi encounters other situations, he will definitely know him. Although he is isolated from the inside and outside and cannot send his scouts out, Wu Sangui believes that Prince Xi has a way to communicate with him.
There is no news, it is actually news.
Wu Sangui looked at the Ming army camp at the foot of the mountain and slowly untied his heart: "It seems that the Ming army is doing it deliberately, with the purpose of luring me down the mountain. Hehe, wait, wait, you can't stand it, and you will attack the mountain."
On the third day of the second month, Wu Sangui fell asleep happily after drinking two taels of wine.
At the moment of ugly moment, Wu Sangui was awakened by his son Wu Yingqi in his sleep: "Father, wake up!"
"What's wrong? Hey, is it dawn? My father's sleep is so heavy." Wu Sangui was woken up and found that the tent was bright like daytime, thinking it was dawn.
"Father, I'm leaving, I'm leaving!" Wu Yingqi said anxiously.
"All ruined? Everything was ruined?" Wu Sangui didn't hear it clearly and asked afterwards.
Wu Yingqi then remembered that his father had no idea how he saved it, but he heard that he had "got the water" was "destroyed".
"Father, it's not that they've been ruined, they've been gone!" Wu Yingqi shouted loudly.
"Ah?!" Wu Sangui heard it clearly this time, got up and rushed out of the tent barefoot.
There was a blazing fire at the top of the mountain, and the baggage camp was trapped in a sea of fire.
"Quick, put out the fire!" Wu Sangui shouted.
"Wang... Master, the fire is too fierce, there is no water on the mountain, so it is impossible to get close to it!" At this moment, Wang Pingfan stumbled down from the top of the mountain, his clothes were not tidy, his face was black and purple, and he reported in panic.
Wu Sangui saw that the fire was soaring to the sky, and it was indeed impossible for humans to do it. The fire was filled with soldiers and were shouting in vain.
Thinking that food and grass were the key to this battle, I couldn't help but feel very angry with Wang Pingfan. He snatched a knife from the guards, pointed the tip of the knife, and said angrily: "Say, what's going on?"
"Report to the prince, dozens of Ming army mountain troops climbed up from the cliff on the east side, and set fire to flee while I was unprepared. When the patrol soldiers found out, the enemy was no longer visible. I was not able to protect myself, so please spare my life." Wang Pingfan saw Wu Sangui's face turned pale and his knife was shaking. He knew that he was extremely angry, so he knelt down on the ground to report to beg for mercy.
He was Wu Sangui's confidant, otherwise he would not have handed over the baggage camp to his hands. Because of this kind of friendship, although the food and grass were burned, Wang Pingfan knew that he could not escape the crime of living, but he should not be guilty of death.
"Transfer your life? Will Zhu Youlang beg for my life? Is it a big deal to make me want to live?!" After Wu Sangui said that, he stabbed Wang Pingfan with a ferocious face.
"Wang... Master, you..." Wang Pingfan didn't expect that Wu Sangui would kill him as soon as he said he would kill him. He didn't even think about his past relationship. He looked at the hilt of the knife and couldn't believe that Wu Sangui was so heartless.
"Release down and throw it away!" Wu Sangui kicked Wang Pingfan's body away and said coldly.
The guards quickly stepped forward, lifted Wang Pingfan's body, walked to the distance, and threw it into the rocks.
The food and grass were burned, and before Wu Sangui could be sent to the tent, Li Guohan, Bayan, and Zhang Guozhu rushed to the commander's tent.
Wu Sangui killed Wang Pingfan and his anger was relieved. Wu Yingqi served and dressed up, summoned several generals into the tent of the general, and said, "Wang Pingfan ruined my major affairs and was killed by me."
When the three of them heard this, they looked at each other, knowing that Wu Sangui was extremely angry, and no one dared to speak.
"The Ming army surrounded me but did not attack, and the purpose was to wait for me to run out of food and had to go down the mountain to take the initiative to attack. In this way, it puts our army in an extremely unfavorable situation. Now that I can't delay my food and grass, I have to take the risk of attacking. Guohan, if you tell me, where should I attack?" Wu Sangui said.
"When I go back to the prince, I think that the Ming army's plan is very vicious. If I delay the arrival of Prince Xi's troops, the Ming army will be in danger. Now, the Ming army has taken the initiative completely, and our army is extremely unfavorable. I think that I cannot sit there and wait for death. I should concentrate my troops and fight to kill some soldiers and horses, and also fight to break a bloody road." Li Guohan said.
What he said is nonsense, just like not saying it, it is completely answering questions.
I thought about it in a hurry, but I didn’t think of a solution, so I had to respond vaguely.
"Prince, I think I should fight Bai Wenxuan and go north to meet with Prince Xi." Bai Yan said quickly when Li Guohan didn't say the point, afraid that Wu Sangui would be angry.
"No, the prince, I think I should attack Chen Kuangxia with all my strength and then attack Changde. Changde was a place with heavy food, grass and supplies in the Ming army. Chen Kuangxia came out of all his troops. Changde was short of troops. If he captured Changde, not only had food, but also had good luck, he would seize some grenades and mines. Our army would stick to the city and wait for the news of Prince Xi to make plans." Zhang Guozhu said.
Wu Sangui nodded and said, "Guozhu's words are very consistent with my wishes, so I will do it. As soon as tomorrow is dawn, I will launch a fierce attack to defeat Chen Kuangxia in one fell swoop. It is best not to give Bai Wenxuan a chance to react. Guozhu takes the lead, Bayan cuts off the rear, blocks and monitors Bai Wenxuan, and Guohan and I are in the middle."
"Zhe!" The generals agreed in unison.
"Everyone, this battle is not only related to the fate of the court, but also to our personal destiny. If you lose, you will die without a place to bury yourself. If you win, you will be alive. I hope you will lead the way and don't worry about casualties. You must rush out." Wu Sangui said.
"Please rest assured, your lord!" The generals expressed their opinions in unison.
...
The next day, just as the sky was dawn, Wu Sangui gathered 30,000 troops and rushed towards Chen Kuangxia's position.
Chen Kuangxia was prepared and knew that Wu Sangui had to work hard, so he hurriedly buried all the mines on the official road.
The Qing soldiers rushed down the mountain, and landmines exploded one after another. With each explosion, more than ten soldiers flew into the sky.
The Qing soldiers also fought their best, and rushed forward one after another.
Unfortunately, the Ming army had too many mines and could not escape half a mile and threw down more than 3,000 corpses. At this point, except for Wu Sangui and his son, everyone else was already frightened and no longer had the courage to move forward.
Bai Wenxuan took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, and the grenade fell into the Bayan formation like rain. The Qing soldiers were brave enough to have the courage to stop the commander. They had already left the courage to block the commander? They followed the front army to the south without any chance.
At the same time, Duan Xing took advantage of the chaos of the Qing army and commanded three thousand mountain troops to climb up from the cliff to the east, rushed to the top of the mountain, and threw grenades from a high place.
The Qing soldiers were in chaos and rushed into the mine formation like a tide.
"Boom boom boom..."
Landmines and grenades exploded continuously, and Qing soldiers fell down one after another, corpses were everywhere, and blood was flowing into rivers. No matter how strong a person is, he will completely collapse in the face of this tragic situation.
The Qing soldiers cried and shouted at their parents, screamed and ran around frantically, cleverly hid aside or knelt down to surrender, and almost no one died of blood and blood.
