Chapter 574
Hanzhong Fucheng, Nanzheng.
When Li Guohan led his men and horses to march [-] li along the south bank of the Han River, not far upstream of Nanzheng, crossed the Han River on a pontoon bridge, and was about to enter Nanzheng City, the forward Tang Qi hurried back.
"Nanzheng City, the Sun and Moon Banner is already on the city!"
"Ming army, Ming army captured Nanzheng."
Still sitting on the Mazha on the south bank of the pontoon, Li Guohan, with a tired face, was discussing with the military master how to report the battle to Beijing, and he was stunned on the spot when he heard the news.
"They are clearly still upstream, can they fly?"
Li Guohan thought it was Zhu Pengfei who sent troops to seize Nanzheng, but Tang Qi told him that it was another Ming army.
Li Guohan was silent.
He doesn't understand what's going on.
"Explore again!"
There was no way to write down the title, so Li Guohan got up and urged the whole army to cross the river quickly.
He rode across the pontoon bridge, and ordered his troops to quickly deploy on the north bank.
Sure enough, Tang Qi of the Qing army appeared under the city of Nanzheng, and soon attracted the Yebu of the Ming army.
A team of Yebudang cavalry arrived from afar and stopped at a distance to look at them.
Dozens of Manzhou Baqi rushed up, but the Mingqi team did not run away. They started riding and shooting two miles away from the army formation on the north bank.
The last Ming Qi rode away.
Qingqi lost more than ten riders, but he was a little disheartened.
When Aobai heard the news and led his cavalry to arrive, Li Guohan had already led his troops several miles away from Nanzheng City, and formed an army formation again.
And the Ming army in the city was not afraid, and actually sent a team out of the city to form an array.
When Li Guohan, Obai, Xu Yong and others looked at the opposite banner several times, they couldn't help being a little surprised.
Except for the eye-catching sun and moon banner.
Many banners also appeared in front of the Ming army, for example, some wrote the imperial camp Chuanguixingying, and some wrote the admiral Zhang of the Chuanguixingyingying.Banners such as Qin, the president of the five provinces, also appeared.
"That general in red armor seems to be a woman, is it really Qin Liangyu?"
"It might be her."
The Ming army lined up against Nanzheng City with their backs and the Han River on the left.
The Nanzheng City in the Ming Dynasty was refurbished and added on a large scale during the Jiajing period. However, the general layout of the Nanzheng City in the Ming Dynasty was established during the overhaul at the beginning of Hongwu, when it was Zhoujiuliduo.
It was overhauled during the Jiajing and Wanli years, and during the Tianqi period, due to the construction of the Ruiwang Palace, it was expanded a lot to the north.
The moats on all sides of the city wall were rebuilt during the Wanli period. They are ten feet wide and eight feet deep.
The four city gates of Chaoyang, Zhenwu, Wangjiang and Gongchen were all reinforced with bricks during the Jiajing period, and large and small forts were added.
There are suspension bridges and watchtowers at the corner of the city.
Due to the large population of Hanzhong Fucheng during the Jiajing period, a large residential area was formed in Dongguan outside the city, so the Dongguan Tucheng was built later, and the fucheng and the Fucheng were both exterior and interior, echoing the distant imagination.
It can be said that Nanzheng, the entire prefecture of Hanzhong, is actually quite large and strong.
Before He Zhen guarded Hanzhong, Li Guo and the others retreated through the rear of the palace. He Zhen descended to the Qing Dynasty and used the city to block the attack.
However, He Zhen was defeated in Chang'an, and when he returned, Ma Ke returned to the Qing army and refused to defend the city.
But at this time, this big city has actually fallen into the hands of the Ming army.
Bright flags fluttered over the city.
The Ming army also sent troops to the west of the city and set up an army formation.
Li Guohan's face was gloomy, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Like Yangping Pass, the Qing army lost the big city and dangerous pass because they transferred their soldiers to Dingjun Mountain.
Who would have thought that the Ming army would suddenly kill them.
If you want to say that there are still some guards and civilians in Nanzheng City, why were they captured without any resistance?
This piece of loyalty was not completely wiped out, so they broke through and ran away. As a result, the pass and the city are now lost, but they are in an extremely difficult situation.
Looking at the city, looking at the army formation.
The Ming army is in full swing.
On the contrary, the Qing army was very sluggish at this time.
"That old lady Qin Liangyu is here, I'm afraid this battle will be difficult to fight, and it will be difficult for white soldiers to fight."
"There is also Zhang Shipeng, the Sichuan Guilin camp. That is Zhang Guowei's son. He has several thousand troops. I heard that he is also very elite. He leveled up all the Ming armies in central Sichuan before, and Zhang Xianzhong didn't dare to fight them."
Several generals looked left and right, but they couldn't see any flaws. On the contrary, the more they looked, the less confident they were.
The most terrible thing is that they fought a big battle at this time, and there were a lot of casualties, and the soldiers and horses were exhausted, but the Ming army had already seized the city and had the upper hand.
In addition, there was a Ming army in the upper reaches to rob Mian County, which made them extremely passive.
"Since they have come out of the city to fight, let's fight with them. I don't believe these Ming soldiers, and suddenly they are all good at fighting. They are all defeated generals. Are you afraid that they will fail?" Obai said very bluntly. .
None of Xu Yong wanted to fight.
You can tell from the morale of the soldiers that they are depressed, and many soldiers have not even had time to bandage their wounds.
Moreover, when they besieged Dingjun Mountain, Yangping Pass and Jiamian County in Nanzheng City stored a lot of food, grass, equipment and military supplies transferred from various places, and there was not much food and grass in the Dingjun Mountain camp.
At that time, it was also considered good storage in the city, but now it has become a shortage of food and grass.
In front of the Ming army on the opposite side.
The people and horses are neat and tidy. Although it is not long since they arrived, it took little effort to take Nanzheng City. In the early morning, the city should respond in advance, and the traitors have no time to react. Be controlled by the insiders.
The forwards of the Ming army lurked outside the city, immediately rushed to the city when they saw the signal, and quickly rushed into the city, quickly controlling the situation in the city.
Many of those dog officials were assassinated and controlled, and the group of strong men were not even organized.
"Fortunately, we caught up. If it was half a day later, we would have missed this good opportunity."
Qin Liangyu, a veteran in armor, looked at the Tartars, feeling a little grateful.
Zhang Shipeng looked at the Qing army, but he was faintly excited. In fact, after Zhang Nengqi passed by, they had already followed, but the road was difficult, and they were not in a hurry.
The ants sneaked into Hanzhong as if they were moving, and gathered more than 2 people, waiting for the opportunity.
Zhang Xianzhong persisted longer than the Ming army expected.
Fortunately, they still arrived in time and seized the prefecture of Hanzhong.
"Counting the time, I don't know if Guo Xingye has arrived."
"It shouldn't be there yet."
The two chatted on horseback, very calmly.
Behind them, there are a total of [-] soldiers, including the Sichuan Guixing Battalion, the President's pacesetters, and the Zhongyongzhen Baigan soldiers. The generals Yang Zhan and Qin Yiming are all elite and have high morale.
What's more, on the top of the city behind them, there is also the governor of Jinglue Wen'an. There are 8000 troops in Tucheng and Fucheng.
Although they failed to bring cannons, there were still quite a few small cannons.
In addition, there are many musketeers in the army, and they are also eager to try this battle.
"Please, the Duke of Shu, go back to the city to hold the battle for the last general, and let the last general command here!" Zhang Shipeng said to Qin Liangyu.
"It would be good if there is a Wen Jing Lue in the city, and the president will be on the front line to command."
Although Qin Liangyu was in his 70s, he refused to accept his old age. When he saw the Tartars, he was even more unwilling to back down. The bloody debts owed by the Tartars to their white-armed soldiers had not yet been repaid.
"In the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, the Sichuan and Zhejiang armies clashed in Tongzhou before the battle. As a result, they failed to cooperate with each other to cover the Hunhe battle, and were eventually defeated by the Tartars.
Today, the white soldiers of the Sichuan Army, and your imperial battalion from the east of Zhejiang, join hands again. I hope we can cooperate well this time, and we will avenge the great revenge together! "
Zhang Shipeng thumped his chest and his iron armor clanged loudly, "Duke of Shu, don't worry, this battle doesn't matter whether the imperial battalion or the Sichuan army. Let's fight hand in hand. Please ask the Duke of Shu to preside over it, and I will be the deputy general."
The camp is not controlled by the governor, governor, etc., but now Zhang Shipeng has taken the initiative to hand over the command to Qin Liangyu.
Back then, Qin Bangping and Ma Qilin led [-] white-armed soldiers, plus [-] Youyang native soldiers, Wu Wenjie and other Sichuan soldiers, and Zhou Yuji and other soldiers, totaling more than [-] soldiers, who were defeated in the bloody battle at Hunhe.
For Qin Liangyu, this was an unforgettable blood feud.
Back then on the banks of the Hun River, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, the Sichuan Army, and the Zhejiang Army were supposed to work hand in hand, but in Tongzhou, within the pass, there was already internal strife. Both sides fired guns and guns and fought fiercely.
The Zhejiang army and the Jizhen army did not get along well, so when the Sichuan army crossed the river to form an army, the Zhejiang army set up camp on the opposite bank.
Faced with Zhang Shipeng's trust, Qin Liangyu was very grateful.
If the Sichuan and Zhejiang soldiers had such trust back then, they would not have lost.
"Since our army has robbed Nanzheng City, we went out of the city to form an array only to defend the city. Admiral Zhang's imperial battalion is on the left, and I lead the Sichuan army on the right. They echo each other and support each other."
As long as there are enough troops in the city, the defenders should not passively block themselves in the city. They must rely on the city, or even build strongholds and fortresses outside the city. Only in this way can they have a better chance of winning and take the initiative.
Qin Liangyu is a veteran, she advocated going out of the city to fight, and Wen Anzhi fully supported her.
Wen'an's 1 horses are divided into two groups, stationed in Fucheng and Dongguan Tucheng.
Qin Liangyu and Zhang Shipeng each commanded [-] soldiers and formed an array in the west of the city. Governor Zhang Dai led [-] strange soldiers to lie in ambush on the downstream river bay.
The Ming army with 2 horses obviously has a great advantage.
As long as you don't waver and can cooperate with each other, you will be invincible.
Although they didn't know that Zhu Pengyi had also successfully captured Yangping Pass and rushed to Mian County.
The core of Qin Liangyu's battle is to lean against the city and back the water, and line up to fight.
If the Tartars dare to come, they will defend and counterattack, and if they do not come, they will defend.
8000 men and horses, with the battalion as the unit, formed an army formation, with guns and shields in front, bows and blunderbusses in the back, and a light cavalry on each wing.
The distance between the two armies is mile.
Li Guohan, Obai and others watched for a long time, feeling unsure, but somewhat unwilling.
After all, although Qin Liangyu had a great name, he was also defeated by their Eight Banners, and the white soldiers were defeated by them more than once.
And they had just defeated Zhang Xianzhong, so although they were tired at this time, they were still relatively confident.
Feeling that the Ming army took advantage of the situation to seize the city, just captured Yangping Pass, and now it is taking Nanzheng City, very angry.
"The Ming army had no more than 8000 to 8000 soldiers outside the city. Excluding the wounded, our army now has at least twice as many capable fighters. I think these soldiers can be divided into two wings, each with [-] to [-] soldiers."
"After the shield carts, cotton armor, shields, etc. are in place, the shield carts are in front, the infantry is behind, covered with bows, arrows and muskets, and the cavalry is supporting on both wings."
The tactics of the Qing army's shield chariots to attack fortified formations are still very strong. Shield chariots, shields and cotton armor have strong defensive capabilities. Coupled with their strong bows, heavy arrows, firecrackers, and artillery, the frontal field In the battle, the Ming army seldom withstood this offensive. As long as they broke through the formation and the cavalry rushed over at that time, they would win a complete victory.
Back then outside the pass, the Guan Ning army could not withstand such an offensive.
After a brief discussion, it was finally decided that Gushan Beizi Tunqi would lead the 8000 Mongolian Eight Banners, Gushan Ezhen Han Dai would lead the [-] Eight Banners Manzhou, Zhao Guangrui would lead the [-] Eight Banners Han Army, and Zhang Yong would lead the [-] Shaanxi Green Camp , with a total of [-] troops as the right wing, took the lead in attacking.
Li Guohan led the left wing to support, while Oboi still led a Manchurian fine cavalry in preparation.
······
Han Dai belonged to the clan of the Manchus. Although his rank was not high, he was also a brave general of the younger generation. When he returned to the front of the battle, he immediately ordered a strong attack to tear apart the Nanman's line in one fell swoop.
"The shield cars are still behind, not all of them have crossed the river, and some of the big shields are still behind." An officer told Han Dai that the shield cars are not in place yet, and it will take about half an hour. Everything is in place.
In addition, he suggested that when the soldiers were exhausted, it was time for the soldiers to take a rest before attacking.
But Han Dai couldn't wait. He felt that these Ming soldiers were no different from Zhang Xianzhong's western thieves, and they might even be worse than the western thieves who had been in the world for many years.
"Didn't some shield vehicles in the army have already come over? These are enough. Why wait for all the shield vehicles to cross the river, and leave the remaining shield vehicles to the left wing."
Han Dai gave an order.
Let the Han army fight forward, push a small number of shielded chariots in front, make up for it with shields in the back, cover the infantry with a bow in the back, and press it directly.
This tactic has been used by the Qing army before and after entering the customs, especially after entering the customs, basically it has never failed.
Even though there are not many shield chariots, the cotton armor on the Qing army has a very good defensive ability.
Just put on the armor.
"They won't be able to withstand our arrow rain for long!" Han Dai shouted confidently. Tun Qi was in charge of commanding the Mongolian cavalry, covering the two wings. Facing Han Dai, who was also from the clan, he did not object to this deployment.
The horn sounded.
The Qing army launched an attack without waiting.
Li Guohan frowned when he saw the right wing that was dispatched, but he didn't send anyone to stop.
"Go and urge the shield car behind, and transport it across the river quickly. Also, everyone puts on cotton armor."
One of the assistants said, "This sudden charge from the right wing can beat the crap out of these southern barbarians. Maybe we don't need to wear armor at all, or we have to take it off as soon as we put it on. In such a hot day, everyone is in a hurry. After driving for two days, I am exhausted."
Li Guohan glared at him, but the leader of the Manchuria was not very afraid.
Li Guohan knew that this was because he was Gu Shan'ezhen of the Han Army with a white flag, and he was also Dorgon's confidant. Afterwards, he should act temporarily as the head coach.
But Dorgon died of illness suddenly, and his two brothers died again. Although Dorgon was still posthumously named emperor, everyone knew that Li Guohan was now a dog without a backer.
How could those Manchu nobles obey him.
Just like Tun Qi, Han Dai, and Oboi, they didn't pay much attention to Li Guohan, so Li Guohan clearly asked the right wing to prepare shield chariots and put on cotton armor before attacking.
But Han Dai attacked directly. Not only did he not wait for the shield chariot behind him, but even many Qing soldiers rushed after them without even wearing cotton armor.
After running all the way, it was too hot and the padded jacket was heavy, they didn't even wear it on their bodies, and now they attacked suddenly, it was too late, so they just didn't bother to wear it.
Everyone felt that one shock was enough to defeat the formation of the Ming army.
Why bother to take that effort and suffer that crime?
When it's time to attack the city, it's not too late to put on the cotton armor and hold the shield, and shrink behind the shield car.
"kill!"
The right-wing infantry rushed towards the Ming army shouting.
The two thousand Mongolian light cavalry that were supposed to serve as cover for the infantry's wings, unexpectedly ran to the front under the leadership of Bei Zitunqi, relying on the speed of the horses, and then did not wait for the infantry at all, let alone notified Han Dai's man. The Eight Banners cavalry charged directly at the formation of the Ming army.
There is a great desire to grab credit and compete first.
These Eight Banners Mongolian cavalry, led by Manchurian officers, rushed straight down to the Ming army like a tide.
Thousands of riders hurricane.
The earth shakes.
This momentum is indeed breathtaking and intimidating.
The defense line of the Ming army.
Zhang Shipeng rode his horse to the front of the formation, "Raise your gun!"
"Raise the gun!"
"Archers and musketeers are ready to meet the enemy!"
"There is a reward for killing the enemy!
"Those who retreat will be cut!"
······

Hanzhong Fucheng, Nanzheng.
When Li Guohan led his men and horses to march [-] li along the south bank of the Han River, not far upstream of Nanzheng, crossed the Han River on a pontoon bridge, and was about to enter Nanzheng City, the forward Tang Qi hurried back.
"Nanzheng City, the Sun and Moon Banner is already on the city!"
"Ming army, Ming army captured Nanzheng."
Still sitting on the Mazha on the south bank of the pontoon, Li Guohan, with a tired face, was discussing with the military master how to report the battle to Beijing, and he was stunned on the spot when he heard the news.

In addition, he suggested that when the soldiers were exhausted, it was time for the soldiers to take a rest before attacking.
But Han Dai couldn't wait. He felt that these Ming soldiers were no different from Zhang Xianzhong's western thieves, and they might even be worse than the western thieves who had been in the world for many years.
"Didn't some shield vehicles in the army have already come over? These are enough. Why wait for all the shield vehicles to cross the river, and leave the remaining shield vehicles to the left wing."
Han Dai gave an order.
Let the Han army fight forward, push a small number of shielded chariots in front, make up for it with shields in the back, cover the infantry with a bow in the back, and press it directly.
This tactic has been used by the Qing army before and after entering the customs, especially after entering the customs, basically it has never failed.
Even though there are not many shield chariots, the cotton armor on the Qing army has a very good defensive ability.
Just put on the armor.
"They won't be able to withstand our arrow rain for long!" Han Dai shouted confidently. Tun Qi was in charge of commanding the Mongolian cavalry, covering the two wings. Facing Han Dai, who was also from the clan, he did not object to this deployment.
The horn sounded.
The Qing army launched an attack without waiting.
Li Guohan frowned when he saw the right wing that was dispatched, but he didn't send anyone to stop.
"Go and urge the shield car behind, and transport it across the river quickly. Also, everyone puts on cotton armor."
One of the assistants said, "This sudden charge from the right wing can beat the crap out of these southern barbarians. Maybe we don't need to wear armor at all, or we have to take it off as soon as we put it on. In such a hot day, everyone is in a hurry. After driving for two days, I am exhausted."
Li Guohan glared at him, but the leader of the Manchuria was not very afraid.
Li Guohan knew that this was because he was Gu Shan'ezhen of the Han Army with a white flag, and he was also Dorgon's confidant. Afterwards, he should act temporarily as the head coach.
But Dorgon died of illness suddenly, and his two brothers died again. Although Dorgon was still posthumously named emperor, everyone knew that Li Guohan was now a dog without a backer.
How could those Manchu nobles obey him.
Just like Tun Qi, Han Dai, and Oboi, they didn't pay much attention to Li Guohan, so Li Guohan clearly asked the right wing to prepare shield chariots and put on cotton armor before attacking.
But Han Dai attacked directly. Not only did he not wait for the shield chariot behind him, but even many Qing soldiers rushed after them without even wearing cotton armor.
After running all the way, it was too hot and the padded jacket was heavy, they didn't even wear it on their bodies, and now they attacked suddenly, it was too late, so they just didn't bother to wear it.
Everyone felt that one shock was enough to defeat the formation of the Ming army.
Why bother to take that effort and suffer that crime?
When it's time to attack the city, it's not too late to put on the cotton armor and hold the shield, and shrink behind the shield car.
"kill!"
The right-wing infantry rushed towards the Ming army shouting.
The two thousand Mongolian light cavalry that were supposed to serve as cover for the infantry's wings, unexpectedly ran to the front under the leadership of Bei Zitunqi, relying on the speed of the horses, and then did not wait for the infantry at all, let alone notified Han Dai's man. The Eight Banners cavalry charged directly at the formation of the Ming army.
There is a great desire to grab credit and compete first.
These Eight Banners Mongolian cavalry, led by Manchurian officers, rushed straight down to the Ming army like a tide.
Thousands of riders hurricane.
The earth shakes.
This momentum is indeed breathtaking and intimidating.
The defense line of the Ming army.
Zhang Shipeng rode his horse to the front of the formation, "Raise your gun!"
"Raise the gun!"
"Archers and musketeers are ready to meet the enemy!"
"There is a reward for killing the enemy!
"Those who retreat will be cut!"
