Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Wu Sangui still had doubts in his heart, but the cannons were fired, and the spies were dispatched, all of which showed that there were no Ming troops in ambush in Mopan Mountain. The two Manchu supervisors, Zhao Butai and Shangshan, urged him to advance. If he still did not order the advance. , I am afraid that these two will doubt themselves. As a last resort, Wu Sangui could only order to march.

In the dense forest of Mopan Mountain in the distance, seeing that the Qing army was finally advancing towards the ambush circle, King Li Dingguo of Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

There were tens of thousands of Qing troops in pursuit, while Li Dingguo had only 6,000 soldiers, and each ambush was only 2,000, but Li Dingguo was not at all worried that too few troops would lead to the failure of the ambush, because the 6,000 soldiers were all with him. The elite soldiers of his southern expeditions and northern expeditions are all elite soldiers who can stand as one against ten!

With elite soldiers and favorable geographical location, Li Dingguo believes that the heavens will pay off, and he will severely damage the Qing army in Mopan Mountain and change the decadent situation since the Qing army entered the southwest!

......

After the 4,000 Green Battalion soldiers who acted as the vanguard drove into the mountains, Wu Sangui was always worried, but the thing he was worried about did not happen, and they were not attacked by any ambush.

Later, at the urging of Zhao Butai, Shang Shan and others, all the Qing troops entered Mopan Mountain. The soldiers and horses of Wu Sangui walked in front, and Hu Guozhu, the second son-in-law, led the people in the front, and then the Manchurian generals, such as Manggutu, Ke Xingge, Gushan Ezhenshalibu, also entered the ambush circle.

There are not too many people walking on the small intestine trail of Mopan Mountain. It is impossible for tens of thousands of troops to pass through Mopan Mountain in one day. So Wu Sangui ordered people to set up camp at the foot of the mountain, and waited in the tent for the troops and horses to pass through.

Said to be waiting, but Wu Sangui was still worried.

I don't know how many times the account was posted, but a personal guard came to report, saying that a Ming army spy had been caught.

Caught a Ming army spy? !

Wu Sangui was startled, since there are no soldiers in ambush here, how can there be spies from the Ming army? Could it be that Li Dingguo still set up an ambush in the mountains!

Thinking of this, Wu Sangui panicked and hurried to see the spy. The bound Ming army spy saw Wu Sangui from a distance, and suddenly broke free of the Qing soldiers who were holding him. He stepped forward and knelt in front of Wu Sangui and shouted, "King of Pingxi, there are soldiers in ambush in the mountains!"

There are ambush!

Wu Sangui was horrified, but the spy shouted again, "King of Pingxi, I am Lu Guisheng, the minister of Dali Temple in the Ming Dynasty!"

......

That Ming army spy is not a pawn, but Lu Guisheng, the secretary of the Dali Temple of the Yongli regime. Desperate for the future, and greedy for life and fear of death, he learned that King Jin had set up an ambush in Mopan Mountain, and secretly ran out of the army to tell Wu Sangui the secret, hoping to be promoted to the Qing court by this merit.

Lu Guisheng pointed out to Wu Sangui that the Qing army had entered an ambush. Wu Sangui heard this and was shocked. He urgently ordered to stop the advance, the troops quickly retreated, and ordered the cavalry to dismount, leave their horses on foot, and search for the ambush. At the same time, the artillerymen were ordered to fire at the bushes in the ditch, and the archers shot with arrows. Suddenly, arrows rained down in the bushes on both sides.

The Ming army ambushed soldiers were not allowed to give orders and dared not go into battle. Dou Minwang, who was hiding in the first ambush line, knew that the ambush had been detected, so he had no choice but to launch a cannon. As a result, the two sides fought on the mountain, fighting with knives, blood and flesh flying. In an instant, the bodies of the dead on both sides were scattered like a wall.

When the battle started, Li Dingguo was sitting on the top of the mountain. He was very surprised when the horn was out of order. Before he could figure out the situation, a cannonball landed in front of him, and the dust caused by the explosion splashed across his face. Because Lu Guisheng surrendered to inform and disrupted Li Dingguo's deployment, he could not unify the command, and the Ming ambush was forced to fight, and people fought for themselves. However, Li Dingguo still supervised the battle according to the danger. The fierce battle lasted from Mao Shi until noon. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. There were corpses everywhere.

Because the Ming army had been lurking in the valley for many days, the spirit of the elite had been lost, and the alone army had no strength to help. At the end of the battle, the Ming army completely collapsed. The Qing army became more and more brave, and more than half of the Ming army was killed and wounded and fled everywhere.

Wu Sangui ordered all the troops and horses to pursue them separately, and secretly instructed the generals in the direct line, for the Ming army, if you can recruit surrender, you can surrender, if you can't surrender, you can only disperse them, and don't kill them all.

Li Dingguo saw that the defeat was set, and he led the defeated generals to Nandian.

In this battle, one third of the Ming army ambushed soldiers were killed in the ditch by guns and arrows, and one third died on the battlefield. Li Dingguo finally retreated with only a thousand remnants. Generals Dou Minwang and Wang Xi died in battle. ?

The Qing army also suffered heavy losses. Wu Sangui's subordinates, under the command of the capital, 18 generals and officials including Gushan Ezhen Shalibu and Zu Zerun, as well as Fuguo Gantu and Zhaqana were killed in battle, and lost more than 3,000 Guanning elites and more than 4,000 Han troops. The Green Battalion has nearly 5,000 soldiers. The Manchu army also lost more than a thousand soldiers. The Qing army suffered a total of more than 10,000 casualties, the first defeat since entering the southwest. Yong Guisheng was rewarded by the Qing Dynasty to the official position of Linyuan Bingbeidao in Yunnan because of his merits in reporting at a critical moment.

After the defeat of Mopanshan, Li Dingguo escaped Wu Sangui's pursuit and came to Tengyue Prefecture. He wanted to meet the emperor, but he didn't want to go to Tengyue Prefecture, but found that the city was empty. I asked the people to know that the holy car has fled to Myanmar!

This news made the King of Jin feel a whirlwind, a mouthful of blood sprayed on the armor that was still stained with blood on his chest, and then fell from the horse, and he became seriously ill after that.

......

Emperor Yongli once again reneged on his words. He did not wait for the arrival of King Jin, but fled to Burma when King Jin was fighting the Qing army in a **** battle on Mopan Mountain.

Like an escape in peace, UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com Yongli absconded from Tengyue Prefecture in the middle of the night, all the way to Tongtieguan. The civil and military officials accompanying him were miserable, and many escorting soldiers were also scattered in the chaos. During the day on the 26th, I arrived at the Hoben River, ten miles away from Burma Pass. The Duke of Qian, Mu Tianbo, first sent someone to inform the Burmese soldiers.

Knowing that Mu Guogong, who was guarding Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty, arrived, the Burmese soldiers who guarded the customs dismounted and treated each other with courtesy. However, when they learned that it was the Ming emperor who was going to take refuge in Burma, and that there were nearly 2,000 officers and soldiers accompanying him, Burmese officials demanded that the escorting officers and soldiers must be released before entering the customs.

Knowing that the Burmese side actually wanted to **** the officers and soldiers to disarm, the Ming Dynasty officials who were still following the holy car unanimously accused them and disagreed, and Mu Tianbo also disagreed, but Yongli agreed. For a while, the guards and the middle officials all unpacked their bows, swords and armors, and all went with their bare hands in front of the mountain pass. Since then, the Yongli regime has lived a life in Myanmar, believing that the Qing Dynasty can let them go and live in peace.

The Qing Dynasty let go of Yongli, but not because Yongli fled to Burma, but because thousands of miles away in the north, 100,000 Taiping soldiers in flaming red uniforms were saying no to them with blood and life!

In Liuzhou, corpses are piled up like mountains;

Yuanzhou, blood flowed into rivers. (To be continued.)
