Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1178 The Battle of the Three Kings ([-])

In Chinese history, a year number represents a dynasty, and what year name is used by later generations to record events. The dynasty represented by this year name was the orthodox dynasty in China at that time.

Today's Gan Dizhi is the Jiawu Year, the Western Calendar is 1654 A.D., the Ming Dynasty is the fifth year of Gongzhi, the Jin Dynasty is the seventh year of Yongzhang, and the Qing Dynasty is the 11th year of Shunzhi.

In March of this year, the land of the Central Plains was destined to undergo a great battle that related to the fate of the world. The Ming Dynasty regent Chu Wang raised a large army, determined to wipe out the chaos in the world, restore the rivers and mountains, make the world Feng Zhengshuo, and use the next year together. Number.

At the beginning of March, the ice and snow in the Central Plains melted, and the Yellow River had already thawed, which meant that the Qing army could no longer cross the river on ice.

The Ming army walked along the mountain village, clearly wanting to delay, but Dorgon couldn't afford it, he didn't have that much time.

In addition to Shanxi wanting him to pacify, Manchu and Qing have been at war since August last year, not to mention affecting last year's autumn harvest. The rebellion in Shanxi, Henan and Shandong are under the vanguard of the Ming army, and it will also affect this year. of spring seeds.

The treasury of the Manchu Qing had already bottomed out, and Dorgon couldn't hold it back, so he had to forcefully attack the gang, forcing Wang Yan to fight.

The situation on the battlefield is so wonderful. Wang Yan came with a large army, and he is still happy to stick to Luoyang. If the Ming army wants to fight hard, they will only suffer heavy casualties. He won a little initiative for the Qing army, but Wang Yan took a step back and walked down the mountain. Fortress, the offensive and defensive positions immediately changed.

The Qing army was short of food and salaries, so they could only be led by the nose by Wang Yan to forcefully attack Wang Yan's camp. Wang Yan firmly controlled the initiative of the war.

Dorgon knew this, but he didn't do anything about it. Only when the Qing army defeated Wang Yan in a quick battle and won the Central Plains War, could the Manchu Qing regime turn the crisis into safety.

The strength of the Jin-Qing coalition forces in Henan exceeded 21. In addition to the troops guarding important passes, the number of people who could directly enter the battlefield was 19.

On the fifth day of March, on a sunny day, Dorgon left only 5000 people to defend Luoyang, and then led an army of 19 to approach the camp of the Ming army.

At noon, the allied forces of the Jin and Qing Dynasties reached the foot of Wan'an Mountain. The sentry cavalry of the Ming army had already discovered the traces of the Qing army, and flew into the camp to report.

The camp of the Ming army was built against the mountain and stretched for more than ten miles. In front of the camp, horses galloped and kept reporting the position of the enemy.

After Wang Yan and the generals got the news, they had already boarded the watchtower.The weather is fine today, the spring sun is warm, the sky is cloudless, and the view is excellent.Wang Yan and the generals looked north and saw that crowds of people all over the field were gathering. There were few people in front, but the crowds became denser as they went to the back.

"Report! The enemy army is seven miles away from the camp!" The sentinel galloped back, got off his horse, and reported on one knee.

The watchtower is very high, the sight line is fast, and the weather is clear, so you don't need to visit the horse to report to Wang Yan and others.

Wang Yan saw several miles at a glance, and saw the horseshoes roaring in front of the enemy army, the guns behind them were like a forest, and the flags were like clouds, so he asked, "Look around, how many troops did Dorgon bring?"

Li Guo looked at it, "It's hard to tell how many miles it stretches from front to back, and it's hard to estimate because of the mixture of foot and horse, but looking at this posture, I'm afraid it must be 20!"

"Didn't Dorgon bring everything he could? It seems that he wants to do his best!" Liu Fangliang laughed.

There was also a smile on Wang Yan's face, "There is no 20, and I'm afraid it will be close to ten. Dorgon is really in a hurry!"

"Haha..." Seeing the Qing army all over the mountains and plains, Wang Yan was not surprised but delighted, and suddenly turned his head and said: "Dingguo, have you done the free card you made, hang it up for the lonely king!"

"It's already been hung up!" Li Dingguo clasped his fists.

Wang Yan nodded slightly, "Okay, let's pass on the order. All armies are only guarding the camps. No one is allowed to fight without orders!"

Now that the Qing army has come, he only needs to wait for the Qing army to run out of grass, morale is exhausted, and the Eastern Route Army outflanks them, and then the Central Plains can be settled in one battle.

Wang Yan's order was conveyed, and the soldiers and horses of each battalion immediately ran out of the tents and organized a defense line behind the wall.

As the Qing army approached, the noisy sound came like a wave, and could be heard several miles away, it was a chaotic scene.

The Jin-Qing Allied Forces continued to advance and stopped three miles away from the camp. Dorgon led a hundred horsemen and galloped out for one mile. They stopped about two miles away from the Ming army camp, overlooking Wang Yanzha. big camp.

The camp of the Ming army stretched for more than ten miles, and the walls of the stronghold were full of soldiers of the Ming army, which put tremendous pressure on people.Dorgon let out a breath, and the war horse under his crotch was frightened by Mingzhai's murderous aura, and he didn't obey his commands, so that Dorgon wanted to pull the reins to control the horse while turning his neck to inspect it carefully.

Seeing this, good guy, Dorgon couldn't help scolding his mother in his heart. Wang Yan not only built a wall, but also dug trenches and pits outside the camp to prevent the cavalry from attacking, and placed antlers and repelling horses. The defense was perfect. If you give him more time, maybe that guy can build a city here.

Dorgon looked at the camp, where a big flag was waving provocatively, his eyes were dark, he didn't expect Wang Yan to be so insidious, he had already figured out that he would attack, so he set up his defenses, and waited for him to bump into him. Use a strong fortress to consume the warriors of the Qing Dynasty.

"Bahaci, go and shoot the king's war letter into the Ming camp!" Dorgon suddenly turned his head and said.

Dorgon sought a quick battle, so he learned the allusions of the Han people and wanted to have a scheduled battle with Wang Yan.If the two sides spread out in the wilderness, he has an advantage in military strength, with a large number of cavalry, he is [-]% sure to defeat Wang Yan.

Before coming here, Dorgon wrote a letter of war with great care, and typed the draft twice. He knew that Wang Yan could bear it, like an old bastard. At the same time, he also heard that Wang Yan had a good face He likes to be in the limelight, so in the battle book, he didn't use inferior aggressive tactics, but praised Wang Yan, and even flattered him, admitting that he was powerful in Huayi, and expressed his desire to compete with him high and low.

Hearing Dorgon's order, a white-armored Niulu immediately led two cavalrymen galloping towards the gate of the Ming barracks.

Baja galloped to a hundred paces from the gate of the camp, and suddenly reined in his horse. Nearly a hundred guns were aimed at them on the wall. The bannermen behind him were already sweating. , there is an aura of refusal to admit defeat in the past.

He held the restless war horse with one hand, held up a handwritten letter with the other, and shouted loudly: "Regent of the Qing Dynasty, send a letter of war to King Nanming of Chu..."

However, before he finished speaking, the Ming army on the wall of the stronghold opened fire directly, and only heard a burst of gunshots. Before Bahaci could finish his sentence, he was knocked out from his horse, and the two banner men behind were shocked. Losing color, amidst the sound of gunshots, he hurriedly turned his horse. As soon as one of the horses picked up the speed, he was hit on the back and fell off the horse, while the other fled on the horse in a hurry.

Dorgon's face was ashen when he saw this scene, and the faces of many Qing generals were also not good-looking.The remaining one galloped back, got off his horse, and knelt down in a hurry to report, "Regent, the Ming army didn't accept the letter of battle, so they shot and killed Haci, by the way, the slave just saw that the waiver card was hung in front of the Ming camp!"

"The two countries are fighting each other, why don't you kill them! That guy Wang Yan is really unreasonable..." Dorgon hated his teeth and was anxious, but in the end he didn't scold him, because he had done a lot of things in the Qing Dynasty. , His face flushed for a while, and finally his tone suddenly changed, and he snorted coldly: "Huh! It seems that Wang Yan is going to be a turtle with a shrinking head, hiding in the camp and not coming out!"

Dorgon looked at the generals, "Don't think that it will be difficult to win in this way. Wang Yan is hiding in the camp, which is a disguised form of surrendering to the king. He refuses to accept the war letter, because he thinks he is not my Qing soldier." How is this camp compared to Dalinghe City? Wang Yan wanted to use a rotten wall to block us. I think he was wishful thinking. After passing the order, the army immediately rushed to make weapons and use the siege method to deal with the Ming camp. Wang Buxin can't break him!"

After hearing what he said, the generals of various clans around him barely raised their confidence, but Shang Kexi who was on the side poured a basin of cold water at this time: "Regent, I have to remind you that the Ming army's firearms are powerful. Attacking the camp forcefully, the effectiveness of the equipment must be at least halved!"

Shang Kexi has been stationed in Heluo for nearly ten years. He has fought four big battles with the Ming army and hundreds of small battles. Especially when he attacked Nanyang last year, his red-clothed cannons destroyed the city walls, but he never entered the city. The important reason is that the Ming army had powerful firearms. Large-scale equipment such as ladders and goose carts were not close to the city wall, and were either smashed, lying on the road, or burned.

After hearing this, Dorgon waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid, Wang Yan's camp stretches for more than ten miles, like a big snake lying in front of this king. You don't have to be majestic for Wang Yan, this king is confident that he will be a big snake, What's more, this king has driven 20 people, and Wang Yan's camp is an iron wall, and this king will also trample it to pieces!"
