The Western Qing regime collapsed, Guanzhong was in turmoil, and the Eastern Qing Azig naturally would not remain indifferent.After receiving the head of Fulin, Azig immediately issued an order that Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, who had newly surrendered, were ready to send troops to collect Guanzhong, while Azig himself led a large army to conquer Hedong in person.Luoyang, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi got Azig's will, and the new people were about to make meritorious contributions, so they didn't dare to slack off.After the two discussed the array, it was decided that Shang Kexi would lead an army of 50,000 and 10,000 banner soldiers led by Luck Dehun and Mandahai, a total of 60,000 horses, and prepare to take advantage of the chaos to capture Guanzhong.Shaanzhou, that is, Shaanxi County of Sanmenxia City, Henan Province, connects the hinterland of the Central Plains in the east according to the Kunshan Mountains, and connects the east-west traffic arteries in the west.If Shaanzhou is in the hands of the Zhou army, it can go out of Tongguan and attack the Central Plains, and if Shaanzhou is in the hands of the Eastern Qing Dynasty, it can break through Tongguan and enter the pass.Now, this critical place is in the hands of the Eastern Qing Dynasty, and the two Shun kings have the initiative strategically.In order to attack Guanzhong, Shang Kexi dispatched troops to carry grain and grass equipment, and the vanguard of 30,000 people has entered the boundary of Shaanzhou and set up camp.However, when the army arrived, it stopped.After the internal turmoil in the Western Qing Dynasty, the Liangshun King of Luoyang was busy finding a way out and contacted Azig of the Eastern Qing Dynasty.After they negotiated the conditions and annexed Azig, they prepared to transport grain and grass, which took a lot of time and missed the perfect opportunity to attack Guanzhong.Now, Wu Sangui defeated Jiang Xiang, and the battle between the rebel armies of the various departments in Guanzhong is basically over, and it is not easy to attack Guanzhong.However, they are not completely without opportunities, the Zhou army has just occupied Guanzhong, the place is unstable, the people's hearts are uncertain, many people are still waiting, and some people are still reading the Qing Dynasty.As long as the Qing army enters Guanzhong, the warlords in Guanzhong may not be convinced of Wu Sangui, and Guanzhong will definitely be in chaos, and the Qing Dynasty will be able to take Guanzhong again.Not long ago, Shang Kexi had already sent someone to contact Meng Qiaofang, agreeing that the inside and outside should cooperate and break into the Guanzhong.According to the news from Guanzhong, Wu Sangui gathered men and horses and was preparing to take Longxi, once the main force of the Zhou army advanced westward, it was a good time for Shang Kexi to attack Guanzhong.At night, Shang Kexi had fallen asleep, and there was silence in the Qing army camp, with only a few patrolling soldiers patrolling back and forth in the camp.At this time, outside the camp of the Qing army, dozens of black shadows suddenly appeared, putting down the Qing army who were guarding outside the camp, and then approached the Qing army camp like a night owl.These people are all scouts of the Zhou army, and their predecessors were the night of Liaozhen in the Ming Dynasty, and they are all elites who are good at infiltration and reconnaissance.To the east of the Qing army camp, more than a dozen Qing soldiers who were originally patrolling fell in a pool of blood, and the Zhou soldiers of the brigade, after the scouts cleaned up the Qing army outposts, took advantage of the cover of night to touch the Qing army camp.At this time, the Zhou army had already found that more than 3,000 soldiers with bows and arrows were 100 steps away from the Qing army camp, carrying things that ignited fire, lying on the wilderness outside the camp.Wang Pingfan, the general of the Zhou army, looked at the dark Qing army camp in the distance, waved his hand with a serious expression, and shouted coldly, "Go!"
”More than 3,000 archers of the Zhou army suddenly got up in unison, ran quickly to the fence of the Qing camp, bent their bows and arrows, and shot the ignited rockets into the Qing army camp."
Shoot!"
Wang Pingfan roared loudly.With the sound of strings, 3,000 rockets soared into the air, jumped over the fence, fell into the camp of the Qing army, and set fire to the baggage vehicles and tents.A fire broke out in the camp of the Qing army in an instant, and the entire camp was in an uproar, and the soldiers who rushed out of the tent were immediately shot down."
Enemy attack!"
The commander in the battalion shouted loudly.When the Qing soldiers saw the rockets coming from the sky, like a rain of meteors, they immediately scurried around the camp in horror.Wang Pingfan roared loudly, "Knock down the fence!"
”More than 1,000 soldiers shook the fence in unison, and in a few clicks, a half-mile-long fence collapsed.Wu Sangui, who was wearing golden armor, suddenly pointed at his horse and shouted loudly, "Cavalry, kill this king!"
”The three thousand iron horsemen with their horse's hooves wrapped in cotton cloth suddenly came out of the darkness, rushed into the camp of the Qing army, set fire everywhere, and harvested the Qing soldiers who fled in panic.For a while, there was a terrible scream in the camp, and Shang Kexi didn't have time to put on his clothes and armor, so he rushed out of the big tent, only to see thousands of routs who had not had time to put on their clothes and armor, rushing towards the tent like the tide.Dense arrows came, and the Qing soldiers fell down in pieces, and the soldiers who were not shot stumbled and fled.Shang Ke was happy to see this anger, he never thought that Guanzhong had not yet stabilized, and Wu Sangui actually dared to sneak out of the customs to attack.At this time, Shang Kexi was about to shout the order and organize men and horses to meet the attack, behind the rout, there was a sudden thunderous hoof, and the rout shouted, "Run!"
Guan Ning's iron cavalry is coming. ”"Run!
Wu Sangui is here!
”The sound of hooves was like thunder, and some soldiers shouted in surprise, which caused the Qing camp to fall into complete chaos."
Don't panic!
The Retreater, Slash!
”Shang Kexi roared loudly and waved his sword to stop the defeated army.At this moment, I saw a general, and Pegasus came to kill.Shang Kexi looked at it fixedly, it turned out to be Wu Sangui, and he was suddenly so shocked that he pulled out his horse and fled.……… The fire in the camp of the Qing army was gradually extinguished after dawn.Wu Sangui adopted Hong Chengchou's suggestion and gathered 100,000 troops in Xianyang, claiming to conquer Longxi and paralyze the Eastern Qing Dynasty, but secretly led 6,000 elites to quietly leave Tongguan and attack Shaanzhou.In this battle, Wu Sangui's purpose was to destroy the Qing army's baggage and prevent the Qing army from attacking Guanzhong, plus it was a surprise attack, so he did not lead too many soldiers and horses.Last night, the Zhou army killed the Qing army camp, took advantage of the Qing army's unpreparedness, killed the Qing army, set the camp on fire, and left.At this time, Shang Kexi, who was almost stabbed to death by Wu Sangui last night, stood in the charred black camp with a gloomy face.Last night's sneak attack, the Qing army's casualties were as high as 10,000, and the baggage was completely destroyed, which made Shang Kexi shocked and angry, he looked around at the burned grain and grass, and the charred corpses, and couldn't help sighing."
The luck of the Great Qing Kingdom is really over!
After this battle, Wu Sangui gained a firm foothold in Guanzhong, and the Qing Dynasty had another strong enemy!
”Shang Kexi sighed secretly in his heart, then pulled the reins of the horse and said in a deep voice: "Go back to Luoyang!"
”……… In Huining, a cavalryman galloped into the city, reined in the reins of his horse in front of the governor's line, flew off his horse, hurried to the door, and said urgently: "The military situation is urgent!"
”In the line, Meng Qiaofang was discussing with several people about resisting the attack of the Zhou army.Zhou Jun repeatedly sent messages to Meng Qiaofang to Xianyang to meet Wu Sangui, but Meng Qiaofang refused, and finally provoked Wu Sangui to be angry, summoned people from all walks of life in Guanzhong, and gathered 100,000 soldiers to conscript Meng Qiaofang.When the news came to Huining, Meng Qiaofang hurriedly ordered the generals to discuss how to resist.At this time, Meng Qiaofang said in a deep voice: "Longxi is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Ben Shuai will stick to the spot, at most one month, and the king of Liangshun will enter the pass." ”As he was talking, Meng Xiongchen came in a hurry, tripped over the threshold at the door, stumbled, and almost fell, his hat fell to the ground, and he didn't care about picking it up, so he rushed into the hall in a panic, and cried: "Father, something is not good, Wu Sangui raided Shaanzhou, the Qing army was defeated, and Wang Yongzhen, Ningxia, has set off for Xianyang." ”In the lobby, when Meng Qiaofang heard the words, the whole person was suddenly struck by lightning, his mind was blank, his legs were weak, and his body shook.General Zhao Liangdong hurriedly held him up and exclaimed: "Dashuai, steady!"
