Tang Qiang gave Wu Sangui a chance, but Wu Sangui insisted on one path and went to the dark side. If the path is different, the only way is to decide the outcome on the battlefield. Luoyapo is located to the west of the Han River. It is the only way for Wu Sangui to march to Dingjun Mountain. If Wu Sangui does not pass here, he will have to walk twice as long, and he will still take a remote path, which is not good for the march. , the people and horses had a better time, but they couldn't drag a large amount of baggage and food and grass over the mountains and ridges. In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient and they relied heavily on roads, especially official roads. Furthermore, ancient roads were not as well connected as in later generations, and official roads There are only a few small roads, which is why most of the military advisors can guess the enemy's movements. Lu Haoshan¡¯s decision to encircle the site and provide assistance was not only based on his confidence, but also based on the geography created by the local traffic environment. In fact, it is okay to use a small force for a surprise attack. It is difficult for a large force to conceal its whereabouts. Tang Qiang took the lead in deploying at Luoyapo. Wu Sangui had to pass Tang Qiang if he wanted to reinforce Dingjun Mountain. "General" "General, what did that surnamed Tang say?" "General, are you okay?" As soon as Wu Sangui returned to the army, a group of subordinates gathered around him and greeted him with concern. "It's okay, he just wants us to surrender." Wu Sangui said lightly: "Today is different from the past. Now my family and I are in the hands of the Manchus. When a man is alive, even if he has not brought glory and wealth to his family, he cannot Will they bring disaster? " Dorgon is definitely a hero of the generation. He has a deep understanding of people's hearts. The system of clear rewards and punishments is worth learning from. He gives preferential treatment to the surrendered soldiers, not only in terms of salary, but also in terms of salary. His family members also received preferential treatment. When the Manchus were still outside the customs, they did not have so many means. After taking over the Central Plains, everything north of the Yellow River was under his control. If anyone betrayed, his family would be implicated. It's easier to get on a pirate ship than to get off a pirate ship. Some people were a little tempted when they heard Tang Qiang's advice to surrender, but when they heard Wu Sangui's words, they fell silent. Xia Guoxiang said solemnly: "At this point, we will advance and retreat together with the general. Who dares to betray the general, I, Xia Guoxiang, will be the first to let him go." Among Wu Sanzhu's tribe, Xia Guoxiang, who is both civil and military, can regard him as As the second-in-command, Xia Guoxiang was unsuccessful in his early years. He had a lot of talent but no one appreciated it. It was not until he was discovered by Wu Sangui that he became famous. He was a very strategic person and participated in all important decisions of Wu Sangui. For the benefactor who promoted him, Xia Guoxiang could be said to be grateful and loyal. "That's it." As his son-in-law, Hu Guozhu glared at him and said, "Now that we are on the same boat, we must work together and help each other. Who dares to have two minds? I will chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs." All the soldiers spoke one after another, Express loyalty to Wu Sangui. Although it was hard work, after blowing all the sand to get gold, Wu Sangui and Li Zi made a bad deal and took away a group of soldiers. When they defected to the Qing Dynasty, they also let a group of subordinates who were unwilling to serve as the pawns of the Qing Dynasty secretly leave the team, leaving mostly iron. The number of people who follow Wu Sangui sincerely is much smaller than that of King Qin back then, but their hearts are also more united, and Wu Sangui is also very good at employing people, if history has not changed. People like Xia Guoxiang, Hu Guozhu, Ma Bao, etc., after Wu Sangui's death, they were tenacious and refused to surrender even though they knew they would fail. In the end, they all shed their last drop of blood for the Wu family. Of course, these are foreign words, and history has been greatly shifted due to one person's time travel. Wu Sangui saw that the soldiers under his command were so united, and he was happy in his heart. He waved his hand and said: "Okay. Let's discuss how to fight this battle. Prime Minister, what do you think?" With his strategic vision, Wu Sangui regarded him as his number one think tank. Now that his schedule was blocked, Wu Sangui, who wanted to express himself, was too lazy to hold any more meetings in order to save time and asked directly. "According to the information obtained by the scouts, there were about 3,000 people on Tang Qiang's route. There were not many of them, but they were all proficient in riding and shooting. They were all armed with firearms and were difficult to deal with. There are three strategies for crossing the cliff slope. The best strategy is to lure They pursued, and we set up an ambush in the middle and annihilated them in one fell swoop. The middle strategy was not to take the lead, but to build a plank road to cross Chencang secretly and bypass them. However, this middle strategy was not easy to implement. The Sichuan army's intelligence system was very fast and used flying pigeons to pass messages. It is difficult to march on a large scale without alerting them, so we have to make a lot of preparations in advance; the next best option is to wait for the infantry to converge and attack Luoyapo with the advantage of numbers. " He is indeed the number one think tank. He thought of it in such a short time. Wu Sangui nodded frequently after listening to the three strategies of , middle and lower. After thinking for a moment, he quickly made up his mind: "At this moment, Dorgon and others are watching us from behind. Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong and others are also working hard. If we don't want to be outdone, this is a good idea. Let's lure the snake out of the cave." After saying that, he turned to look at the generals and said, "This trip is very dangerous. Who is willing to go?""General, I'm going." Ma Bao was the first to ask for a tassel. "General, I'll go." "General, let me go." Guo Zhuangtu, Hu Shouliang, Guo Yunlong, Hu Guozhu and others also asked for help and took the initiative to serve as bait. Although they had lost their integrity for their lives and their future, they still He is an outstanding soldier who can still face death calmly. Their beliefs have changed, but their pride remains. "Guozhu, go ahead and deal with it carefully." Wu Sangui put his son-in-law in a dangerous position without hesitation. This was also considered as taking the lead, assigning the most dangerous tasks to his own people, so that no one could No one will say anything behind his back, and no one will make irresponsible remarks when assigning combat tasks. "Yes, general, I will definitely fulfill my mission." Hu Guozhu said with determination. Soon, the first attack began. A round of artillery was fired, and ten squatting tiger cannons fired at the same time. These tiger squatting cannons had a short range and could not be hit by the Sichuan army on the hillside. It was not difficult. Soon, these obstacles were blown into pieces amidst the sound of cannons. When the sound of cannons stopped, all the obstacles such as horses and other objects that hindered the advancement had been cleared. Seeing that the clearance was completed, Hu Guozhu gave an order, and the elite and recruited soldiers A regiment of miscellaneous soldiers immediately launched an attack. More than a thousand people formed a cavalry team. They urged the horses and set off firecrackers, and launched an attack on Luoyapo with a loud killing sound. Although they were not as advanced as the Sichuan army's firearms, they were still equipped with a large number of weapons. The firepower of the seven-eyed blunderbuss and the bird blunderbuss should not be underestimated. Hu Guozhu took the lead and rushed to the front brandishing a machete. "Brothers, charge." Hu Guozhu clamped the horse's belly hard and shouted with a loud roar. "Come on!" A group of soldiers rushed towards Luo Yapo. Seeing Wu Sangui sending people to charge, Tang Qiang showed a sneer in his eyes and watched coldly. He waited until the enemy entered the range of the fire cannon and then ordered: "Hit, hit me hard." "Bang bang" " "Bang bang bang" gave the order, and the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time pulled the triggers one after another. For a moment, the firing sound of the firecrackers was like the sound of fried beans. This time they used new firecrackers with iron bullets, which fired quickly. , fast reloading, long range and great power. In terms of performance, it is several blocks away from the old-fashioned firecrackers. It can produce continuous firepower without even three stages of splitting. When the firecrackers are fired, those who have long been Prepare logs and rolling stones to push them down from high places to stop the cavalry from advancing. Occupying a high place, this has the advantage of the location, people are sharp with firearms, especially well-trained. The charging Wu Sangui's men were constantly shot and fell to the ground. For a moment, there were shouts of killing, the sound of firecrackers, arrows and arrows. The screams were endless, and the battle became intense at the beginning. Wu Sangui saw the soldiers falling one after another. He was heartbroken and at the same time surprised by the firepower of the Sichuan army. That kind of equipment is simply a luxury. It's no wonder that a mere three thousand people dare to set up a blockade here to block it. It's really what they rely on. "Retreat, retreat, the Sichuan army's firepower is too fierce." The charge took less than a quarter of an hour and he lost at least 20% of his men. Hu Guozhu's face was so heartbroken that he was twitching. Fortunately, this time it was just a feint attack, luring the Sichuan army to pursue them. The price paid It was very big and the show was done enough, so he ordered to retreat. "Brothers, run for your lives." "This weapon is too powerful, we should withdraw." "Run away, these Sichuan troops are too strong." Before the attack, Hu Guozhu had made arrangements long ago, and not many people knew the inside story. With so many casualties and the atmosphere of "panic" deliberately created by his henchmen, the morale of the army was shattered for a while. All the soldiers fled desperately for their lives. Even the soldiers at the foot of the mountain were also infected. They fled back one by one desperately, leaving the defeated soldiers behind. The scene couldn't be more realistic. "General, the enemy has escaped. Let's chase them." "General, chase them. Now is a great opportunity. We will catch them and kill them all." "Okay, if we are defeated, it is the best time to expand our results." When Wu Sangui escaped, the Sichuan soldiers who participated in the battle were overjoyed and asked for pursuit. However, Tang Qiang said with a serious face: "No one is allowed to attack without my order. Violation will be punished by military law." "General, why?" A captain said with some confusion. Tang Qiang said with a leisurely look: "First, the opponent's general is Wu Sangui. Although this person is spineless, he is an out-and-out general. How can he be defeated so easily? This must be a trap. Second, they If they want to reinforce Dingjun Mountain, they must pass through here, unless they take a detour, but with his pride, he will definitely not make a detour, just wait for him here, there is no need to risk an attack." After hearing this, all the soldiers suddenly understood and took the order. . Hu Guozhu fled for more than two miles and found that Tang Qiang had not been fooled. He asked Wu San for instructions.Empress Gui once again led her army to feign an attack. They attacked several times in a row and lost hundreds of people. Even Hu Guozhu was shot in the arm. However, Tang Qiang was still angry and only defended but did not attack. There was nothing he could do while gritting his teeth. After the final discussion, Wu Sangui no longer wanted his subordinates to die in vain. Wu Sangui ordered to camp on the mountain opposite Luoya Slope, and at the same time urged the troops behind him to speed up. The only solution now is to use Prime Minister Xia's strategy and concentrate superior forces to attack Luo Yapo in one fell swoop. Obviously, this will be a bloody battle. (To be continued.)?¡
