Rout (Part 1)
Chapter 818:Rout (Part 1)
After the defeat of the three-liter reinforcement, Yilongbao became rootless, although the castle occupies the land, but most of the casualties of the garrison, has been about to support.
The next morning, Zhou Guodong and Liu Jun launched a two-sided attack on Yilongbao, and selected dozens of large-mouthed captives to shout in front of the castle to shout the three-liter defeat, Yilongbao like a ripe apple, Chu Jun gently reached out and took it off, Guansoring on the guard saw that the general trend had gone, from the mountain canopy to escape, Chu Jun successfully passed this road of danger, and Kunming.
Go to the rabbits!
Zhou Guodong and Liu Jun continued to make efforts, ordered Miao Zhenzong and Zhou Wuding to fight, attacked the rabbits, a series of battles after the Guiyang Conference battle fully proved that the descending army led the road party was sometimes better than Chu's own troops, since it hit Miao Zhenzong and Zhou Wuding's hometown came, of course, to let them wind and scenery "dress to the hometown", and Chu Jun's chariot tightly tied together.
Miao Zhenzong and Zhou Wuding since they embarked on this road, there is no possibility of turning back, every time the Western army is very brave, and more fierce than the Chu army, they do this, on the one hand, in order to get Zhou Guodong and others and even Wang Kefan's trust, on the other hand, it is to break the way of the soldiers, so that their hands are blood, in order to better control the troops.
"Chow Guodong and Liu Jun let us attack the rabbits, this is a rare opportunity ah, good luck, the first achievement in Kunming is ours."
"If you can capture Kunming in one fell swoop, Liang Guogong will certainly remember your name, and in the future, he will be able to keep the guard."
"The rest I dare not expect, as long as the town of Yunnan like the Mu family is satisfied, Yunnan this place has good weather, I have stayed accustomed to, do not want to go."
Miao Zhenzong and Zhou Wuding's family are in Kunming, most of the subordinates have a family in Kunming, the eyes of Kunming is coming soon, are like arrows, for fear that because of their rebellion even tired of their wives and children, so morale is like a rainbow, overnight on the rabbits launched an onslaught.
Rabbit gate is Kunming's northern gate, not only the terrain is dangerous, but also the construction of the defense facilities is very complete, called a husband when Guan Wanfu Mo Kai's dangerous gate, Miao Zhenzong and Zhou Wuding although they are ground snakes, do not know what obvious weaknesses of the rabbits, but from the front attack.
In Zhou Guodong and Liu Junjun's view, this will certainly be a heavy casualties of the evil battle, Miao Zhenzong and Zhou Wuding even if they can overcome the rabbit gate, it will take several days, the loss of thousands of horses, unexpectedly, the battle only lasted until noon the next day, Miao Zhenzong and Zhou Wuding sent to report, they have broken the customs and entered, is chasing the enemy in the direction of Kunming.
“Will the rebels become more powerful after they surrender?”Zhou Guodong was stunned, when Miao Zhenzong and Zhou Wuding and Chu Jun fought, they behaved flatly and did nothing amazing, but after surrendering the Chu army, they repeatedly built amazing skills, and Wang Shangli, Bao Shengting and Qi Sansheng, these Western army generals fought without temper, and even died directly or indirectly in their hands.
“This is indeed so.”Liu Li sighed, in the end of the chaos, similar examples are simply countless, many Ming army at the beginning is a repeated defeat of the fish army, after the surrender of the full Qing suddenly become very powerful, the camp thus suffered a lot.
Zhou Guodong carefully asked about the occupation of the rabbit gate, only to know the reason why Miao Zhenzong and Zhou Wuding easily won, in addition to their attack bravery, the key is the three-liter injury after the defeat, Kunming's Western army has been shaken, chaos, rabbits closed although a small number of defenders struggle to resist, but can not get the support of the rear, and finally defeated by Miao Zhenzong and Zhou Wuding.
According to the confession of the captives, the three-liter injury is very serious, can not see, Kunming city of the West army dragon no head, many civilian soldiers feel that Kunming can not keep, with the troops and home abandoned the city and flee, and intensified, has become a big escape including all military and civilian officials, Kunming is now an undefended city, Miao Zhenzong and Zhou Wuding into a victorious army.
"Miao Zhenzong and Zhou Wuding these two guys, clearly want to grab ah, or not, this is the opportunity they earn, the army's general magnificence, do not compete with them to seize Kunming's first work."
Zhou Guodong ordered the whole army, accelerated progress, with Miao Zhenzong and Zhou Wuding to capture Kunming, chasing and killing the scattered Western army, Yunnan is vast, remote places are not easy to fight, relying only on the power of Chu Jun to calm the whole of Yunnan, but also spent several months, Zhou Guodong is not interested in this task of hard work, ready to throw to Miao Zhenzong and Zhou Wuding.
Two days later, Zhou Guodong and Liu Junjun marched side by side, entering Kunming from the northern gate, and on the city gate, Chu's flag fluttered in the wind.
Rich!
Sun is expected to fight the ability not, but is a rare domestic master, in Yunnan business in recent years, hoarding all kinds of money and food materials piled up, Zhou Guodong selected a group of Chu army urgently needed food gunpowder and medicine, sent to Guizhou Tan howle, and ordered Miao Zhenzong and Zhou Wuding, continue to march in the hinterland of Yunnan, sweep the defense of various state capitals, eliminate the Western army still refused to surrender.
After the capture of Kunming, the overall situation of the southwest war has been determined, the only United States and China are insufficient, did not find the whereabouts of Yongwang Zhu Cihuan, according to the prisoners, the Western army fled Kunming when he also took him away, it is said to have fled to the town, Liu Junjun immediately with tens of thousands of elites to kill the town, and strive to shovel the roots...
On the Hunan battlefield, Sun is expected to prepare for a period of time, order the Western army in Changsha, Hengyang and Yuezhou to break through at the same time and retreat in the direction of Guizhou.
In the middle of Hunan, there are several large rivers, in addition to the Xiang River, water and water are very important waterways, if there is sufficient time, enough boats, the best route for the Western army to withdraw is from the Xiangjiang River into the water, and then in Changde, and then from the water to the clear water in Xiangxi, from the water to return to Guizhou.
This route saves time and effort, can bring most of the troops back to Guizhou intact, after returning to Guizhou, you can also the first time and Feng Shuangliu Division, the next step is to attack or continue to retreat to Yunnan, there is room for manoeuvre, but Lv Renqing and Teng Shuanglin captured Yiyang and other places, cut off the waterway of the water, Changde also became very dangerous, Sun is expected to consider again, or decided to withdraw from the land.
A fire burned the warehouse, Sun is expected to lead the army to leave Changsha, first to the southwest of Xiangxiang launched an attack, at the same time, Bai Wen chose to leave Hengyang, but also to the northwest of Xiangxiang launched an attack, trying to defeat Wang Sheng first, the two army divisions then retreat calmly, Wang Sheng shoulder to pick two cities, and Sun expected, white selection at the same time to start a fierce battle, dead card in the middle of Sun and White selection.
After the full mobilization, Wang Sheng's strength increased significantly, Xiangxiang and Xiangtan area have tens of thousands of troops, Sun is expected and white selection combined, and he is also roughly the same, Wang Sheng's troops recruit a lot, Sun and Bai Wen election morale is low, both forces have obvious weaknesses, continuous fierce battle for several days, has been difficult to win or lose.
At this time, the other departments of the Chu army came up from around, put forward a posture in Xiangxiang, Xiangtan and the Western army, Sun is expected to have no determination to fight to the death, but also did not have the confidence to win the victory, saw that he has been unable to defeat Wang Sheng, took the initiative to break away from the battle, gave up the attempt of the White Literature Division, and changed to withdraw.
Can't go!
If you continue to fight, you have to bring the western army in Yuezhou and other places, in the Xiangxiang area and Chu army decisive battle, otherwise it will be surrounded by the Chu army, both of which are unfavorable to Sun, when the time to go, it is not retreat, but breakout, how many soldiers will run back to Guizhou, all depends on luck.
Now retreat, you can take advantage of the Chu army's encirclement has not yet closed, withdraw to Baoqing Province, where it is still under the control of the Western army, can take over the Sun's hope.
Before the retreat, he also sent someone to inform Bai Wensheng, let him withdraw from Xiangnan, and Chenzhou, Yongzhou capital area of the Western army, from the Lingling to Guangxi Guilin, Bai Wenselection situation is similar to his, but do not have to climb over the heavy mountains of Xiangxi, as long as retreat to Guangxi territory, basically can escape.
As for the western army in the Xiangbei area, because it is not the main direction of Chu's attack, relatively safe, the western army of Yuezhou can retreat from the Changde Province to Guizhou as long as it bypasses Dongting Lake, in addition, Sun is expected to write a personal letter to Li Dingguo, in which he changed the arrogant attitude of the previous condescending, but retold the old feelings of the brothers, the words are very polite, please Li Dingguo also withdraws from Hubei as soon as possible.
The Western army from Yunnan, expeditionary lake, grain and grass transfer is not easy, so the number of auxiliary soldiers, only in the Hunan battlefield, auxiliary soldiers have hundreds of thousands of people, plus more than 50,000 people, a total of nearly 200,000 people, with Sun is expected to order, 200,000 Western troops no longer and Chu army fight, together to escape.
On the land of Xiangchu, the Western army is like a migrating herd, a team, a group, a stock of the westward retreat, a year ago this time, they are from these roads to the east, to Changsha, to Hengyang, to Yuezhou, to Chenzhou and other places to launch an attack, when the wind came, as if the world is invincible, but when they go, they are dying, like a lost dog.
In fact, this is not an organized retreat, Sun is expected to be nominally the commander of the Western Army, but can only command tens of thousands of horses withdrawn from Changsha, other troops have lost control, even if Sun is expected to their own troops, under the pursuit and oppression of the Chu army, the faster and faster, the more chaotic.
Along the road, all kinds of heavy materials are everywhere, a large number of auxiliary soldiers have fled, the soldiers can only carry heavy armor to catch the road, in order to compete for the road and horse animals, the ministries between the big fight, the knife fire and things are common, who can take a fist big one to escape, the remaining troops will of course not for them, to desperately stop the Chu army.
Disturbing!
Western army ministries ran a hundred miles in a day, just left the Changsha capital border, the troops ran half, Sun is expected to start still trying to maintain the order of withdrawal, but soon found that this is in vain, so give up efforts, with the can still control the 20,000 to 30,000 troops, all the way to Baoqingfu Fucheng Shaoyang, ready to Shaoyang, and then reconvene the troops.
