After entering Baogu Road for more than ten miles, the foot of a high mountain in front of it blocked the way of Baoshui, and Baoshui was forced to change direction and flow to the southwest.Skirting the foot of the mountain to the southwest, the water flows south again.After walking more than two miles, it is a high mountain foot blocking the way, Baoshui turns again, goes southeast around the foot of this mountain, and then looks south.The entire Baogu Road and Baoshui advance in a zigzag pattern in this section.This is it.Wang Shuo ordered the army to stop and set up blocking positions at the foot of the two hills, that is, at the head and bottom of the zigzag.From the direction of the attack, the foot of the mountain was across the Baoshui and the front of the mountain road, and he could take advantage of the topography at the foot of the mountain to establish an artillery position.There are no dead spots ahead, and the artillery can directly attack the mountain road.Moreover, the mountain road is narrow, which is naturally formed on both sides of the Baoshui River, which is not conducive to the running of war horses.The road between the foot of the mountain and the other side of the river is the narrowest place, and it is convenient to build a barrier to block the enemy's army.Where the barrier was built, he could absorb the idea that Li Da had come up with when Yongping blocked Dolgon, cut down trees, and make a multi-layered fence with pointed heads.Under his feet is the water, not afraid of the enemy's fire attack.Along the section up the foot of the mountain, several platforms can be opened up, and the cannons can be installed in a row.When the time comes, the cannons will be fired in rows, and all the projectiles will hit the road sandwiched by the canyon ahead.The enemy attacked intensively, and there were bound to be heavy casualties.On the mountains on both sides, troops can be stationed to prevent the enemy from breaking through from the mountains if the frontal attack fails.At this time, it was already dark, and there was no rest in the continuous hurry, and the soldiers were tired and exhausted.Just then, the forward sentinel returned.Five miles ahead, an outpost of Hauge's army was spotted.The sentinels of Wang Shuo's army are now equipped with the binoculars that Wang Shuo "invented", of course, he drew sketches and let those research laboratories of Wu Langxi build them.At that time, due to the Ming Dynasty's seclusion, it was difficult for Western things to enter the Central Plains Continent, even if it was a single-barrel lookout scope, it was also given to the Ming court by the Portuguese as a gift when the Ming Dynasty bought cannons from Portugal.Later, seeing that this thing was so useful, the Ming military bought some from the Portuguese for the use of senior generals.The Manchus seized a lot from the Ming army, but they were only distributed to the princes and ministers as a rarity.In other words, only a prince like Haoge can have a monocular lookout, not even at the level of Gushan Ezhen, let alone a sentinel.Therefore, Wang Shuo's sentry can detect the enemy army first and not be discovered by the enemy army.Sure enough, the enemy army did not find Wang Shuo's sentry.The enemy outpost had stopped five miles away, lit a bonfire, prepared to camp, and waited for the Hauge army in the rear.The enemy army has reached the right under his nose, and no matter how tired he is, he cannot rest, and he must establish a defensive position tonight.Wang Shuo didn't say anything, and ordered his staff officers to plan a defensive line.The generals of the various armies did not say much, but assigned tasks and ordered all units to follow the staff officers and immediately start their actions in accordance with the guidance of the staff officers.Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime.Every soldier understands this.The troops who went up the mountain to defend immediately climbed to the peaks on both sides; The artillerymen were at the foot of the hill and, on the instructions of the staff officer, began to dig platforms for the installation of artillery.The troops in charge of the defense of the mountain pass sent soldiers to go up the mountain overnight to cut down trees and build fences.Braving the biting cold, he stood in the water and built a stone wall.There are also troops that go forward, destroying the road forward, rolling boulders into the water, so that the enemy horses cannot charge quickly.Such an operation was carried out not only in the defensive position in front of the zigzag, but also at the foot of the hill behind the zigzag at the same time.Wang Shuo brought here only 30,000 troops.The other troops left 10,000 to establish a covering position at the south entrance of Taibai; The other 10,000 chose the terrain on the northern slope road and built the last line of defense, and only after the defense line was repaired could they rush over to support them.In the face of 200,000 elite enemy troops, it is difficult to stop the advance of the enemy army without establishing a deep defense line and resisting layer by layer.Therefore, none of Wang Shuo's 50,000 mobile corps can be idle.At least the 30,000 men who followed him will not have to sleep tonight, and when the sun rises tomorrow, they will face a fierce enemy attack.When Hauge first occupied Chengdu, he received an order from Dolgon, asking him to return to the army immediately after purging the remnants of Zhang Xianzhong, enter Longzhong, and eliminate Wang Shuo.The generals of his subordinates, Ao Bai, Tan Tai, and Xing Ne, all showed anger.It really didn't take much effort to beat Zhang Xianzhong, but Sichuan let Zhang Xianzhong suffer from it, is it a place where people stay, not to mention Zhang Xianzhong, just take the plank roads and mountain roads along the way, and the 200,000 troops will be tired and half dead.The key is that there is no food to eat, so you have to work hard to find a place with living people to grab food, and there is really no way, just to learn from Tuyao Army to eat human flesh, just to make a living, everyone is about to die of exhaustion, and the food is not yet open to let everyone eat.Otherwise, if you eat all the food, and Dolgon doesn't arrange for help, these 200,000 people will be left here in Sichuan, and if you go back, you have to let us go out and take a breath This Sichuan is not over yet, so let's go to beat Wang Shuo, so that the stupid boy Xing Ne is still calm, and said to Haoge: "Or, let's go back to the army in Hanzhong first, recuperate in Hanzhong for a few days, and then go to Longzhong" Ao Bai shouted: "Go to a fart Longzhong, Lao Tzu wants to go back to Xi'an, take a good bath, and be comfortable for a few days, and then talk about this place, Lao Tzu, except for lice, There is nothing else" Tan Tai was not happy in his heart, and said: "The regent is trying to borrow Wang Shuo's knife to weaken the strength of my two yellow flags."
They are all the descendants of Yingming Khan, why bother with each other" Ao Bai said angrily: "He still cares whose descendants you are, he can't wait to kill us all, the Qing Dynasty is good, he has the final say, Azig and Duoduo are idle, and they are close to Longzhong, why doesn't he let them fight Wang Shuo, but I want our prince to go and ask me to say, let's just not go, see how he can "not attack Longzhong, Haoge doesn't dare."
Dolgon, this kid has a black hand, he dares to disobey, Dolgon really dares to kill him.After thinking about it, he still adopted Xingne's suggestion, and the army went north to Hanzhong to rest.He told Dolgon that Sichuan had become a wilderness and there was nowhere to raise grain, so he had to let the capital stationed in Xi'an prepare grain and grass in advance.He went out of the valley, and after getting grain nearby, he immediately marched to Longzhong.As for how many days it takes to walk from Chengdu to Xi'an, it is estimated that Dolgon has not counted, he will walk for a few days, and Dolgon will not be able to do anything to him if he has a few more days of rest in between.So, Hauge led his army north to Hanzhong.After arriving in Hanzhong, there were gradually people in the surrounding area, and finally grabbed some food, and Haoge lived in Hanzhong.The army could not fight without food and grass, and there was really nothing Dorgon could do.On the one hand, he strictly ordered the capital to quickly raise grain and grass, and on the other hand, he wrote a letter urging Hauge to speed up the march.At the same time as writing a letter to Haoge, he wrote to Wang Shuo to ask for a gun to confuse Wang Shuo.Unexpectedly, Wang Shuo was far more generous than he imagined, confiscated a penny, and gave him a hundred new muskets for nothing.He was relieved.It seems that Wang Shuo is still afraid of him and does not dare to offend him.Since he gave him a gun as a gesture of goodwill, Wang Shuo would not be too wary of his sudden attack.Azig that kid, this time in Datong full of women to play, crazy play, let him go out of Yulin, he dragged his feet and refused to move, and he has not left Shanxi until now.Since Haug wasn't ready, Dorgon didn't rush Azig anymore.Haoge was in Hanzhong, and the generals and soldiers went crazy for a few days, making the surroundings of Hanzhong almost like Chengdu, and they were bored, so they got up and set off in self-praise.This gave Wang Shuo time to prepare
