Chapter 1764: The Change of Runing House
But Qian Qiao was not able to accept orders, but it was not that he would not give him any orders.
After all, the order was made very clear. Song An had already led his troops to set out first. If Song An or the Ruishi Camp was unexpected, the problem would be even more serious.
When the two were weighed, Qian Qiaogong agreed that the two evils were the least, and the right way was to go north to join Song An and block Oboi's army.
Although Chen Zhiyuan was angry and advanced westward, he did not see any signs of fighting or war along the way, and he did not even see any defeated or wounded soldiers. This means that Chen Zhiyuan had controlled the situation. Otherwise, how could the Qing army under Bahana see Chen Zhiyuan going westward without seeing?
Since the King of Wu sent this order, he should have intentionally eaten Yanzhou in one bite. If Song An could not stop Oboi's army, all his thoughts would be in vain. Even the Qing army, who had recovered, would be very likely to quickly attack Andongwei from the east.
At that time, what the two of them will face will be Oboi and the Yanzhou army.
With this consensus, Qian Qiaogong and the other two units of Lu immediately turned, one in front and the other in response to each other, and quickly turned to the north.
When Song An was reported to the vanguard of Oboi's army, Qian Qiaogong's cavalry were leading the way to capture Xintai, which was only seven or eight hundred Qing troops, and then turned westward.
It is a distance of up to a hundred miles from the ambush in Song'an.
....
Wu Zheng was in charge of Xuzhou and kept receiving good news from Chen Sheng.
But Wu Zheng was still not happy.
The reason is very simple. Compared to Chen Sheng's smooth advance to the north, the Runing Mansion to the west was a series of bad news.
The day after Wu Zheng and Li Dingguo met in Huaining, Sun Kewang led an army of 10,000 from Ruyang to the south and outside Luoshan City. He did not attack the city, but set up a high platform outside the city and shouted to the city every day.
The words were nothing else, that is, I missed all the brothers, how much I was valued in the Qing court, but I still thought that having the truth with my brothers was a blessing, so I invited my brothers to join Qing Dynasty and enjoy happiness, and so on.
Previously, Bai Wenxuan, Ma Weixing occupied the mall, Guangzhou and Luoshan, but did not deploy heavy troops in these three places. The main force was still stationed in the mall. At this time, Bai Wenxuan followed Li Dingguo to meet Wu Zheng and had not returned yet, and Ma Weixing was in charge of the mall and could not respond in time.
Luoshan is a small city, with earthen walls of more than one person high. There are only more than one thousand defenders in the city. When Sun Kewang arrived, he was so scared that he asked for help from the mall, while hiding in the city, panic.
The "old boss" not only did not attack outside the city, but also took it with sincerity. In just one hour, more than a thousand defenders in the city surrendered.
So Sun Kewang did the same thing, spending one soldier and one soldier without sending a single stone or an arrow. In two days, Luoshan, Xixian and Guangzhou were all dealt with with one mouth.
Since all three cities have surrendered to the city, no one reported it to the mall.
When Sun Kewang settled Gwangju, Ma Weixing learned that the three places were lost.
In addition to being shocked, he raised a large army to head north, intending to regain Guangzhou.
But Sun Kewang was not in love with the battle. When he heard that Ma Weixing led his army to come, he quickly set out and abandoned Guangzhou and returned north.
Ma Weixing then easily recovered Luoshan and Xixian one after another.
However, Sun Kewang has been retreating slowly.
The regaining of the three places gave Ma Weixing great confidence. He immediately ordered to pursue Sun Kewang's troops who were not far away.
However, the cunning Sun Kewang set up an ambush at Tongzhongdian in the northwest of Xi County.
When Ma Weixing led the main force to arrive, Sun Kewang ambushed from three sides to attack Ma Weixing.
Ma Weixing was caught off guard and lost 8,000 main troops after a battle. Fortunately, he was able to protect Ma Weixing and broke through the southwards, so he was able to save his life.
And Sun Kewang naturally would not let go of the fruit in front of him easily, and chased the remnants of Ma Weixing all the way.
Two days later, Bai Wenxuan returned to the mall, and then he realized that a huge change had occurred.
In anger, he mobilized more than 10,000 troops left in the city, and prepared to pick up Ma Weixing from the north and meet him.
Unexpectedly, he collided with the remnants of Ma Weixing who had fled back during the march.
Only then did I realize that Ma Weixing was defeated and returned home.
At this time, Bai Wenxuan had a reasonable response. He learned from Ma Weixing that Sun Kewang only had 10,000 troops, and he believed that he still had nearly 20,000 troops in his hands, and felt that there was still a possibility of winning a game back.
So the two armies joined together and quickly headed north.
When Sun Kewang saw Bai Wenxuan, Ma Weixing turned around to fight. He quickly turned around and went north, but he didn't even fight with him.
The generals of the Daxi Army were used to fighting the wind. In the past two years, the Northern Expedition Army had restrained the largest number of Qing army and the Qing court's energy along the coast, so the generals of the Daxi Army had almost never been defeated.
The battles they fought were either the enemy's alone or the existing ones had no reinforcements, so it can be said that they were invincible and could not defeat them.
Bai Wenxuan made the same mistake as Ma Weixing. He thought that Sun Kewang was defeated when he heard the news. So at the order, more than 10,000 Western Army quickly pursued Sun Kewang northward.
This pursuit led to the Tongzhong Shop where Ma Weixing was ambushed, and then to Zhenyang.
If Bai Wenxuan was a little vigilant, he should stop in Zhenyang City, but he insisted on continuing to pursue. Of course, this is not that Bai Wenxuan did not know the tactics of military affairs, but that he also knew that Ajige's army would arrive in Ruyang at any time. He thought that since the enemy had been defeated and had no intention of fighting, he would attack Huanglong with all his might.
If you can really conquer Ruyang City in one battle, it would be a bad thing that would turn into a good thing, and you would lose your merits.
It is precisely this kind of recklessness that Bai Wenxuan missed the last opportunity to protect himself.
Bai Wenxuan, the troops of Ma Weixing, were ambushed again at Yangzhuangdian, North of Zhenyang.
When they were besieged by enemy troops from all directions, Bai Wenxuan and Ma Weixing discovered that Ajige's troops had actually arrived in Ruyang, and the ambush they encountered was one of the Ajige's army-Eight thousand cavalry.
In the battle of Yangzhuangdian, the Western Army lost 24,000 elite troops. The main general Bai Wenxuan and the deputy general Ma Weixing was captured alive by Ajige.
At this time, Li Dingguo had just led 50,000 main forces to the mall.
After hearing the bad news, Li Dingguo beat his chest and stamped his feet, but he did not forget to pass the bad news to Wu Zheng.
At this time, the Daxi Army's troops were defeated and they were unable to attack, so they could only choose to defend the mall.
But Ajige, how could Sun Kewang give up?
They also knew the principle of taking advantage of his illness to kill him. The Qing army took advantage of the victory of Yangzhuangdian and rushed south to regain the mall and drove the Western Army out of Henan territory.
Li Dingguo was in a dilemma of being unable to advance or retreat. He squeezed his 50,000 troops in his hand in a corner of the mall. Needless to say, the inconvenience of supply, it was even more difficult to move.
But the question is, how can you give up just by giving up the mall that you exchanged for 30,000 elite soldiers?
If you really want to give up, it is difficult to face the soldiers of the Daxi Army. It is even more difficult for Li Dingguo to explain to Emperor Yongli.
Li Dingguo was also confused at this time. Logically, he should understand the importance of retreating and giving the army time to rest.
But he did not withdraw.
Because Li Dingguo himself was not willing to give up!
