Chapter 148 Qiguan [Doomsday Special]
As soon as Wang Wenkui left Minxiang County, he was attacked by an enemy. As a result, he lost hundreds of people and horses, and no body of the enemy was left behind.
This time, it was the first team of the 2nd Battalion of the Lion Regiment who went to attack Wang Wenkui. They successfully completed the task, but after returning, two of the soldiers failed to save the battle due to injuries.
At this time, Wang Wenkui was stationed 30 miles northeast of Minxiang for rest.
The 20,000 troops cannot be underestimated. The barracks tents are stationed for several miles, the flags are fluttering, and the horns are flying.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Wang Wenkui sat angrily. There were generals on both sides. Those generals lowered their heads one by one and did not dare to say anything. Although Wang Wenkui is just a literati and has no experience in leading troops, even these generals did not know him at all before. However, now that Wang Wenkui is supported by the Qing court, these people are naturally like slaves.
"Someone pulled Li Ming out and cut him down!"
Wang Wenkui's words made the soldiers on both sides tremble all over, and at the same time, their dissatisfaction with Wang Wenkui continued to rise.
"Lord, spare your life! My lord, spare my life!"
Li Ming, who knelt in the middle of the battalion commander, was tightly grasped by the two guards who came in, and then was dragged down fiercely. How Li Ming shouted, Wang Wenkui was still angry in addition to his face.
Li Ming is a general of the vanguard army. The vanguard army has a total of 2,000 people, but these two thousand people not only did not take down 200 people, but even killed hundreds of people by the 200 enemy. What's more, the enemy had no casualties. Wang Wenkui was furious. He was defeated in the first battle, and Wang Wenkui couldn't imagine the bad influence. If he led 20,000 troops and was defeated by Liu Xia's army, I'm afraid that Wang Wenkui's official position as the governor of Shaanxi would also be taken, because for his official position and his rich and noble life, Wang Wenkui would kill Li Ming as an example.
It's just that he doesn't know that if he kills the generals in the battle, won't he be distracted? It is a big taboo for soldiers.
The left and right generals also lowered their heads and dared not look up. Even if they knew in their hearts that it was not Li Ming's fault, they did not dare to open their mouth.
When he was in Shaanxi, Wang Wenkui beheaded a general for a little thing. A general came forward and said two words. As a result, he annoyed Wang Wenkui, so Wang Wenkui also killed him with some trumped-up charges. Since then, no one dares to thout him in front of Wang Wenkui.
"A bunch of mediocre talents, a bunch of waste. No wonder Li Thief can be defeated. With you wastes, he is really unreasonable. Humph, rubbish." Wang Wenkui glanced at more than a dozen generals on both sides with a disdain.
These generals were left by Li Zicheng. They surrendered to the Qing army and then adapted by the Qing court into a green camp to guard Shaanxi and other places. However, the new Wang Wenkui, who took office, looked down on these remnants of Dashun soldiers and often picked out some trivial things to punish them. At most, he dismissed the official position, and at most, he killed his head.
These generals all thought with resentment, aren't you also a surrenderer? What's the right to look down on us? If you want to be a full-man lackey, so are you.
No matter how Wang Wenkui scolds, none of the generals below raised their heads to talk, because they had long been used to Wang Wenkui. There were still unconvinced people in the past, but they were all killed by Wang Wenkui and closed.
"The enemy came out of Qiguan. Qiguan is just a deserted place without a high city. Although the terrain is a little steep, according to my opinion, it is quite easy to take it. Li Jianben gave you 2,000 horses as a vanguard and captured Qiguan.
Although Li Jian did not want to, he did not dare to object, so he hesitated to take the order.
Two thousand horses will take down Qiguan? According to the report of the scouts, there are at least a thousand people guarding Qiguan. A thousand pairs of two thousand, Li Jian's heart was chilled. Naturally, his army knows how thick the foundation is. He has long heard that the Pingbei army is brave and good at fighting, and he also saw their combat effectiveness yesterday. Li Jian is really not sure to use 2,000 people to occupy Xiaqi Pass.
If you attack yourself, you are likely to die in battle. If you don't obey the military order or die, then... don't you surrender? But the young and old in the family...
Li Jian returned to his tent and became worried. After all, he didn't surrender?
Wang Wenkui's order made Li Jian dare not neglect. Early the next morning, he led 2,000 infantry to approach Qiguan and walked all the way. Although the speed was not fast, it was not slow. It's just that the soldiers are a little tired.
"General, twenty miles ahead is Qiguan. We have encountered a lot of enemy scouts around here. I'm afraid they already know the news of our arrival."
Li Jian frowned and said, "This general knows that it is impossible to hide them. Alas, I know that I will definitely be defeated when I go to Qiguan this time. You are all old people who have been with me for many years. I don't want you to die with me. If you are willing to escape, I will never stop you.
Li Jian's words immediately made the vanguard brigade explode. The soldiers began to talk.
"General! How can we abandon you?"
"General Yu coexists and dies!"
Li Jian looked at these soldiers with emotion, but thought to himself that the combat effectiveness should be improved in this way. Even if he was defeated, the strong combat effectiveness would be highly regarded as not worthless everywhere.
"Go, attack Qiguan!"
With Li Jian's order, two thousand people began to attack Qiguan.
The third battalion of the Lions Regiment is stationed in Qiguan. The third battalion has a total of more than 700 people, and there are as many as 1,000 temporary distribution logistics personnel.
When Li Jian's soldiers and horses attacked the Lion Battalion, the third Battalion of the Lion Regiment was already ready, and Chen Liu and others in Shaanxi Province had also received the report.
Qiguan is an ancient pass. The city wall tower has long disappeared and become an underground site. At present, there is a temporary fortress built by the third battalion of soldiers and horses in Qiguan.
While Li Jian's 2,000 soldiers and horses fought with the third battalion of Qiguan, Wang Wenkui's army also began to move forward slowly. In front of Jiaocun and Hangu Pass, the soldiers began to attack Wang Wenkui's army.
"Your Excellency, my Excellency! A large number of enemy troops were found in the south, and it was estimated that the number was less than 1,000.
Before Wang Wenkui had written anything, another urgent report came.
"Report! According to the Governor, more than 1,000 enemy troops were found on the north side.
Wang Wenkui listened and laughed and said, "There's nothing to panic about. It's just 2,000 horses. I have 2,000 horses."
"Come on! Each of you will lead five thousand men to attack the unknown enemy, and you must destroy them all!"
"Yes!" The two generals took the order and went down, each with 5,000 people rushing in the north and south directions.
These soldiers are not very energetic, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined.
Shaanxi
Military sergeant Chen Liu looked at the sand table with a smile on the corners of his mouth.
"Although Tongguan has not returned the news yet, according to Yu Mingjun's ability, it should not be a problem to take down Tongguan, which is not guarded by many people."
There are many small yellow dragon flags on the sand table, and each yellow dragon flag with a black background represents a Pingbei army.
"The soldiers and horses of Hangu Pass and the soldiers and horses of Jiao Village have been dispatched. Now Wang Wenkui has entered the encirclement, waiting for the third battalion of the lion regiment to defeat the enemy's vanguard, and then they can surround them together."
"Give the order to Ma Peng that he must not let Wang Wenkui go. No matter whether he or die, he will take it. If he takes Wang Wenkui, then Shaanxi will become a pot of porridge, and then it will be very easy to enter Shaanxi."
The guard next to him quickly received Chen Liu's order and sent an order to Ma Peng, who was at Wei Hangu Pass.
Originally, there were four positions for the Lion Regiment and the Second Regiment of New Soldiers, one was Qiguan, then Jiaocun, and then Weihanguguan and Qinhanguguan. Chen Liu stayed in Shaanxi.
Now the soldiers and horses of Jiaocun and Qin Hanguguan have been dispatched. The temporary command headquarters where Ma Peng is located is in Weihanguguan and is ready to send the first battalion of the lion regiment to the battlefield for support.
"The regimental commander, the second battalion and the enemy have already fought, and the enemy has sent 5,000 people. At present, the second battalion has more than 700 people in the headquarters and 1,000 people from the second regiment. It is not difficult to block them, but there will be some losses. At the same time, more than 1,000 people left in the second regiment of the new recruits also fought with the enemy under the leadership of Shang Chuang, and the enemy soldiers were also 5,000. Compared with the second battalion, it is estimated that the losses of the second regiment will be greater.
Ma Peng frowned and said, "Thunder"
The thunder next to him roared loudly, "The last general!"
"Thunder, you lead the third team of the first brigade of the first battalion to Jiaocun to assist the merchants to attack Wang Wenkui!"
"Yes!" After saying that, Lei Ming went down to order troops and left.
Both sides of Qiguan, the Third Battalion and Li Jian fought with casualties, but compared with the Third Battalion, Li Jian's personnel and horses were more seriously injured.
More than 400 people have been killed and injured by 2,000 horses, while more than 700 of the main forces of the three battalions have killed only 100 people.
"Free shooting!" The locust-like bow and arrow flew from the arrow towers to Li Jian's vanguard army, and suddenly several soldiers fell into the pool of blood.
"A large team attacked from the left wing and took the enemy's army directly. They must make the enemy general monotonous. Even if they can't kill them, they will cause great trauma. The second brigade continued to attack from the front. The three teams added. The remaining archers continue to shoot freely!"
"Kill!"
"Cut off the military flag!"
"Kaku"
Li Jian's military flag fell, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly reduced. At this time, the first brigade successfully entered the Chinese army after losing more than ten people, less than five meters away from Li Jian.
Li Jian was shocked that he would not kill himself for the so-called Qing Dynasty, so he quickly shouted for the protection of the first brigade from killing him by mistake. At the same time, he shouted surrender.
"Surrender~~"
The voice of surrender was louder than a loud voice, and the two armies on the battlefield slowly stopped fighting.
"I surrender, I surrender!"
Li Jian then threw the weapon in his hand on the ground. With Li Jian's action, the remaining more than a thousand people immediately threw the weapon in his hand to the ground.
The third battalion immediately shouted.
