After the failure of the siege of Tongguan, Dolgon began to pay attention to Wang Shuo's strength and sent more detailed works to inquire about the news.The northwest base area has a special anti-espionage organization set up by Hu Lian, and the people are all organized, and their consciousness and vigilance are very high, so it is very difficult to find out the news.But he can still get the news on the battlefield.He soon learned the news of Hauge's annihilation.While surprised, he also thought of Wang Shuo's musketeers.He ordered the Mongols to attack Suzhou, harassing the northern borders of the northwestern government in an attempt to force Wang Shuo to return to his own rescue.But will Wang Shuo retreat because of the threat to the north?
Because if it were him, he wouldn't retreat.To have the opportunity to destroy the main force of the Manchu Qing led by his two brothers, this kind of opportunity, except because he underestimated the enemy, will not have it again in the future.Letting go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to retreat is the stupidest idea.While regretting that he had underestimated the enemy, he immediately sent more messengers to cross the river and cross the mountains and mountains to northern Shaanxi to give orders, so that Azig and Duoduo would immediately cross the Yellow River west and withdraw to Shanxi at any cost, so as to avoid a hard fight with Wang Shuo's musket army.At the same time, he ordered Wu Sangui, who had already marched to northern Shaanxi, to advance as fast as possible, and to bring the troops of Azig and Duoduo back to Shanxi before Wang Shuo's musketeers could join the battlefield.He himself led his army to quietly retreat from Tongguan to the Huaiqing area, and held the city to prevent his guess from being wrong, and Wang Shuo's musket army would give up on dealing with Azig and Duoduo, and instead destroy himself.In the case that the enemy's situation is unclear and your own side is prone to losses, first leave the battlefield to preserve strength, Dolgon's arrangement is clever and sophisticated.At this time, the battlefield in northern Shaanxi was very miserable.Duoduo had most of the cavalry in his hands, and was blocked by Li Guo in the ravines south of Luochuan and north of Tongchuan, and the two sides fought all day long.While Li Guo desperately blocked the frontal attack, he sent part of his troops to attack and harass Duoduo in the rear and pull back his legs, while in the middle, he took advantage of the familiar terrain to constantly sneak attack and intersperse from both sides, trying to disrupt Duoduo's deployment.Duoduo also fought hard, he gathered all the forces that could be gathered around him, built barriers in the rear and all the junctions and high ground on both flanks, blocked the attack of the northwest army, and concentrated the most elite two white flag cavalry troops to attack in front.With each place he occupied, he moved his battalion one step forward and rebuilt new ramparts in the rear and on both flanks.In this way, step by step, we will move towards Xi'an.However, in this way, the rear and the two flanks were defended in a huge area, which was quite consuming of troops.He couldn't take care of it, and strictly ordered the left, right and rear, only to defend, not to attack.In the front, they attacked desperately, fighting with Li Guo for the strategic points of southward advance one by one.Li Guo really had no way to take Duoduo, but in this way, the troops involved in the attack in front of Duoduo were relatively reduced, and Li Guo could barely resist the opponent's attack.Like Wang Shuo blocking Hauge on the Praise Slope, he resisted one after another, consuming Duoduo's elite in his constant retreat.This style of play on both sides has not had much mobility.Li Guo relied on advanced weapons and suffered less losses, but there were many Duoduo soldiers, and they were all cavalry, and the two sides fought against each other, and they suffered heavy casualties.Azig, who was dragged near Yan'an, couldn't walk anyway.He gave most of the cavalry to Duoduo and led most of the infantry to block the Northwest Army's sneak attacks from all sides.Expecting Dodor to open the way forward, he took advantage of the situation to follow.The idea is good, but the reality is very different from his idea.He did not yet have the consciousness of modern movement warfare, but the Northwest Army had already mastered this tactic.Seeing the weakness of the separation of the opponent's horse infantry army, Li Guo immediately sent a large force to intersperse and split Azig and Duoduo from the middle.Duoduo listened to Azig's idea, and just blindly moved forward, unknowingly distancing himself from Azigra.By this time, Azig and Duoduo had been divided into two groups, one in Yan'an and the other in Luochuan, and they could not coordinate with each other.Each group was again faced with the division and outflanking of the Northwest Army, and it was too busy to take care of itself.At that time, there were no communication tools such as radio, and both the Qing army and the Northwest Army had difficulty communicating with each other, so they could only fight on their own.The officers of the Northwest Army have all been trained in the tactics of mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare, and they must have a relative advantage in independent command.As a result, the entire battlefield in northern Shaanxi was in chaos, with small troops constantly fighting, but no one was able to organize large-scale battles.What Li Guo wants is this kind of chaos.His troops turned out to be "rogue gangsters" and were no strangers to movement warfare and guerrilla warfare.After following Wang Shuo, he had a theoretical understanding of this tactic.He believed that his officers, when fighting independently, knew how to fight for the initiative, save themselves, and destroy the enemy.He just wanted to win in the chaos when his troops were inferior to the other party, and at this time, Li Yan's messenger arrived.Knowing that the musketeers and cavalry would join the battlefield, Li Guo's belief in destroying the Qing army was greatly increased.At this time, Song Xiance asked Li Guo to take the initiative to retreat and put Duoduo on the flat land south of Tongchuan.Because on flat ground, it is easier for the musketeers to exert their superiority and annihilate the Duoduo in one fell swoop.Li Guo felt that Song Xiance's idea was very right, and began to take the initiative to retreat, leading Duoduo forward.But Dodor did not dare to go forward.In the past few days, every time he occupies an advancing fortress, he has to pay a heavy price, and at this time, how can this kid Li Guo take the initiative to abandon the fortress This is not normal.Dordor was not stupid, he had long noticed that he was getting farther and farther away from Azig.He had to think, what Li Guo wants to do Let me go, I don't care, concentrate his forces to destroy Lao Ba or he has a follow-up move, put me on the plain and have a way to destroy me, and fight with the Ming army and Li Zicheng, he doesn't look down on them at all, he can not consider whether there are traps at all, blindly rush to the death, and Li Guo, who has a heart, he doesn't dare.Shang Li has been too much, and there are countless dead soldiers and horses, if he doesn't have a long heart, he will really become a fool.While he was hesitating, Dorgon's messenger crossed the mountains and finally arrived at the camp of Dordor, and handed him Dorgon's letter.Sure enough, there was a deception, and Duoduo couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.Wang Shuo's musketeer army came, Li Guo wanted to put him on the plain, let the musketeer army deal with him He had seen the strength of the musketeer army in Weinan, and at this time he did not dare to hold it up, and according to Dorgon's order, he immediately ordered to retreat, go to Yan'an to join Azig, and then retreat to Shanxi.Song Xiance came up with another bad idea.The previous bad idea was to let Shen Yu harass Haoge in the back road, but Haoge was scared to attack Wang Shuo desperately, and almost let Wang Shuo put his life into it, which backfired and added to the snake.This bad idea made Li Guo's main force stay away from Duoduo, and it was too late to entangle him.Li Yan led the main force of the mobile corps to arrange a battlefield to annihilate Duoduo south of Tongchuan, dug trenches, stopped the advance, and could not pursue in time and launch an effective attack.Song Xiance, the chief of staff, wants to be brighter than Zhuge Kongming, but it is really not a star and a half
