In recent years, Shang Kexi has been staying in Henan, the place of four wars, but for more than ten years, Henan has rarely fought wars, except for a few conflicts with Wu Sangui, he has not participated in other wars.Therefore, Shang Kexi did not know much about Li Dingguo, which was located in the southwest, and the Dingxi Army.I only know that Haoge entered Sichuan that year, and within a few months, Zhang Xianzhong died, and the Western Army was beaten by the Qing army and fled into Yungui.Over the years, because Zhao Ming was too dazzling in the southeast, the Qing army failed to advance the front to the southwest, so the western army did not have the opportunity to show its strength.Li Guoying also knows very little about the Western Army that has been nested in Yunnan and Guizhou for more than ten years, so he naturally doesn't know what kind of person Li Dingguo is."
Lord Wang, this humble position is not clear, but Li Dingguo's intention to garrison Zunyi can be analyzed and analyzed."
Li Guoying said in a deep voice.Shang Kexi stroked his beard, "Tell me about it." ”Li Guoying picked up a map from the festival hall, unfolded it on the table, pointed to the map and said: "From Zunyi to Sichuan, there are probably only two roads suitable for the army to march.One is along the Fuling River and inserts it into Fuzhou, and the other is along the Chishui River and attacks Luzhou. ”The reason why Sichuan is easy to defend is because the defenders can clearly know the route of the enemy's army into Sichuan, so they can send troops to defend.Shang Kexi nodded and asked, "What path do you think Li Dingguo will take?"
”Li Guoying said: "Attack Fuling, to the east you can outflank Kuizhou, to the Tang Tong into Sichuan, to the west you can attack Ba County, occupy the east of Sichuan."
If we attack Luzhou, we can make a detour to the east of Sichuan and go straight to Chengdu, or we can go east and surround us in the east of Sichuan.These two paths are possible, and how Li Dingguo goes depends on his ambitions. ”Shang Kexi bowed slightly, but said with a smile: "Luzhou is garrisoned by Gao Qilong, and Fuling is also heavily guarded.Ben Shuai sat in Ba County, mobilized in the center, and sent reinforcements at any time, no matter which road Li Dingguo took, Ben Shuai could deal with it calmly. ”While he was talking, a general hurriedly saluted, "Lord Wang, the Ming army is attacking Luzhou, General Gao is in a hurry!"
”Shang Ke was shocked when he heard this, "What a Li Dingguo, his appetite is quite big, and he doesn't take Ben Shuai seriously." ”Luzhou is an important town in southern Sichuan, if the Ming army captures Luzhou, it can attack the empty Chengdu Plain to the north, and it can be cut off to the east, and the connection between Chongqing, Kuizhou and Chengdu will be Shang Kexi and Wu's three corps, surrounded and annihilated in eastern Sichuan.Luzhou, located in the transition zone between the southern edge of the Sichuan Basin and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, is low in the north and high in the south, and the Yangtze River traverses the territory of Luzhou from west to east, where the Tuojiang River, Yongning River, Chishui River, Sexi River and Longxi River meet.The north of Luzhou is a river valley, low and middle hills, flat dams are contiguous, and the south is connected to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, which belongs to the northern foot of Da Lou Mountain, which is a low mountain, the river is deeply cut, and the river valley is steep.Therefore, when the Dingxi army attacked Luzhou, it was to rush down from a high place.At that time, Sun Kewang returned to Sichuan, which was to capture Luzhou first, occupy southern Sichuan, and then drive Wu Sangui out of Sichuan.However, because of this, this time the Zhou army sent heavy troops, led by the general Gao Qilong, to lead 20,000 people to garrison here.At this time, in the south of Luzhou City, on the hill on the other side of the Yangtze River, the sound of cannons rumbled, and white smoke rose up, and one after another shells flew across the river and smashed towards Luzhou City.The walls were hit by cannonballs, dust splattered, and the cannonballs fell into the river, startling columns of water.On the hill on the south bank, under the banner of a big bank, Liu Wenxiu couldn't help but feel excited when he watched the spectacular scene of artillery bombardment on the opposite bank."
Dashuai, we're really changing shotguns!"
General Jin Tongwu said with a smile.Liu Wenxiu also sighed that after the Western Army retreated to Yunnan and Guizhou, he wanted to conquer Sichuan more than once, but in the end it failed.Because the land of Yungui was too poor and Sun Kewang, who was good at management, Li Dingguo and he could only barely survive, and there was no money and food at all to recover Sichuan.Therefore, this time, Zhao Ming's nearly one million taels of silver money were smashed, and countless sophisticated weapons and armor were sent, which immediately made all the generals of the Western Army succumb.Of course, this is mainly due to Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, who do not have the same ambition as Sun Kewang.In the troubled times, some people pursue the domineering and royal way in order to end the troubled times, some people pursue our way, just seeking to protect themselves, and some people will be born to assist the Ming Lord to calm the world and set it as their goal.Longwu, Zhu Yihai, Zhao Ming, Wu Sangui, and Dolgon are all ambitious and pursue the way of the king, while Jin Shenghuan, Li Chengdong, and Jiang Xiang are my way, and they are essentially all grass on the wall, and there are also people like Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, Xia Wanchun, and Du Yinxi are Wang Zuo's way, and they have no ambition to be the king, but just want to realize the political ambition of pacifying the world and resisting foreign enemies.Therefore, when Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and many generals of the Western Army felt that Zhao Ming could follow and realize their ambitions through Zhao Ming, they all submitted to Zhao Ming.Of course, the main reason is that Zhao Ming has enough money, and everyone was difficult to eat before, but now they want money, food, and equipment, Zhao Ming treats them as his own, and they are naturally willing to submit.Liu Wenxiu glanced at the soldiers around him, wearing brand new armor, wearing iron helmets, and holding muskets, and said arrogantly: "Pass the order, the artillery team doesn't need to save gunpowder, and give this commander a hard beat!"
”At the head of Luzhou City, Zhou Jiang raised his head, leaned out half of his body in the smoke-filled city, picked up the clairvoyant mirror to observe the opposite bank, and saw the mountain on the opposite bank, and the flag was like a cloud, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked."
Be careful!"
One of the guards suddenly shouted, knocking Gao Qilong, who was observing, down.With a "bang", a cannonball hit the city, cutting off the wall battlements and splashing rubble.Gao Qilong pushed away the guards who were pressing him, stood up, shook the dust on his body, looked at the messy city, and couldn't help frowning and scolding: "Damn, when will the Han Pi on the other side be equipped with so many artillery?"
”Gao Qilong has been stationed in southern Sichuan for a long time, and has been fighting against the Yunnan-Guizhou Western Army for many years, understanding the strength of the Western Army, looking at the situation on the other side, the beggars on the other side are simply reborn.Gao Qilong was extremely suspicious that the opposite side was not Yungui's beggar army, but the central forbidden army of the Ming Dynasty.At this moment, as soon as the cannon sounded on the other side, I saw nearly 1,000 rafts and boats rushing towards the north bank on the river on the south bank, all of which were well-armed soldiers with muskets in hand, and some of the small boats were still equipped with artillery."
Boom!"
Another cannon smashed in, Gao Qilong did not avoid the artillery fire, and hurriedly shouted an order: "Quick, open the cannon for defense!"
”On the city of Luzhou, the artillery of the Zhou army roared again and again, and the artillery on both sides of the strait fired at each other, but for a long time, the Zhou army thought that the Western army had poor combat strength and poor equipment, so it did not equip the Zhou army in Sichuan with many firearms.Now, in the artillery battle between the two sides of the strait, the Zhou army in Luzhou was actually suppressed by the western army on the other side.Looking at the Dingxi army rushing over on the river, Gao Qilong was a little bottomless, grabbed a subordinate, and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly go to Ba County to report to Shangjunmen, Li Dingguo's main force stormed Luzhou, and implored Shangjunmen to divide troops for reinforcements." ”Ba County, after learning that the Ming army appeared in Luzhou, only one day later, Gao Qilong's messenger came to the rescue again.In the festival hall, Shang Kexi looked at Gao Qilong's letter and snorted coldly, "The western thieves are rampant, Li Guoying, you lead 20,000 horses and horses to go for reinforcements, and you must block Li Dingguo in Luzhou." ”Li Guoying clenched his fists when he heard this, "Don't worry, Junmen!"
With an army of 40,000 and a moat on the Yangtze River, Li Dingguo can't beat even if he is a million. ”In the afternoon of the same day, the gate of Baxian City was opened, Li Guoying rode out, and the 20,000 Zhou troops looked west to Luzhou.
