The reason why Angbang and Zhang Jing had such confidence was because Wu Sangui could not defeat Li Zicheng's Dashun Army back then. When he shaved his hair and ran to Dorgon to shake his tail and begged for mercy, he happened to be the witness of this scene.

In addition, he has been in Shaanxi for many years and has a deep understanding of the combat effectiveness of Wu Sangui's troops. In addition, Wu Sangui's use of troops in the siege of the city did not distinguish between the primary and secondary, and violated a taboo in military strategists. If he did not take advantage of the fact that he would give Wu Sangui a fatal blow, when Wu Sangui reacted, he would not be able to ensure that the Han people in the city would take the opportunity to rebel. If they escaped, they would have no chance to speak of with the 20,000 families alone.

The messenger who reported the urgent news had already set off. Even when Xi'an received the so-called rumor that Zhang Tianfu led Wei Lat Mongolia into the pass and Wu Sangui was defeated by the city of Xining, he had already sent a messenger, but reinforcements were not expected, especially the current situation of the sharp decline of the Eight Banners of Manchus in Beijing. Their best way was to give Wu Sangui's troops a heavy blow to ensure the safety of the city of Xi'an and the old, weak and women and children of the Mongolian city.

Wu Sangui's army had been struggling all morning, and they swore and made braids. In the afternoon, they divided their troops to control three sides of Xi'an Prefecture City, set up camps, and attacked the city, so they had to wait until the next day.

The next morning, three troops of Wu Sangui came out at the same time to start an attack on Xi'an Fucheng. The Qing army in the city had already been prepared. In addition to leaving the garrison in the capital to continue to guard the city, and using the city gates to restrain the Guanning army on both sides of the north and south, there were two thousand Shaanxi Xi'an four right-wing banners, two thousand Shaanxi Fubiao plus five thousand Sichuan and Shaanxi Supervisors who had lost the governor.

Such troops are still much smaller than Wu Sangui's headquarters outside the West Gate, but the Qing army of each unit did not care, because they were the Qing army that was the real Manchu soldiers participating in the war, and just because Wu Sangui's guy was also an opponent of the Manchu soldiers?

At the foot of Xicheng City in Xi'an, Wu Sangui's army was preparing to start siege, and the siege equipment was prepared before. However, before they had finished arranging the array, the Xicheng Gate was the first to open, and the Qing army from the brigade came out one after another and soon formed a formation under the city.

"The Sichuan-Shaanxi Governor General is in charge of the central army and the left wing, the Shaanxi Fubai is in charge of the right wing, and the four right wing banners in Xi'an, Shaanxi are indeed the old trick of letting the Han people be cannon fodder, and Manchuria decide the victory or defeat."

It was a stone back then, and Dorgon promised to help the war. He also waited until he fought with Li Zicheng to an unsustainable point before sending troops to attack the Dashun Army, which showed fatigue. This is understandable, but the role of cannon fodder at the beginning and over the years, now he has changed his perspective and sees others acting as cannon fodder, Wu Sangui's feelings immediately changed.

"Let the Zhongyong Camp and the Volunteer Camp go up, and take these Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners and try the final result."

The Qing army lined up, and the Wu army waved the flags with the words "President of the World Water and Land Master Xingming to fight against the enemy, King Wu of Hanzhong" several times under the movement of the flag bearer. The troops that were originally preparing to attack the city began to slowly retreat and gave way out the two camps behind the formation, which were under the banner of loyalty and bravery and volunteerism.

These two battalions are not two battalions, but the five battalions of loyalty, front, back, left, right, and the five battalions of loyalty, front, back, left, and right. Each battalion has a thousand people, and together it is a large army of ten thousand people. Except for a small number of them, they are the veterans of Guanning Army who have been following Wu Sangui for the longest time. On weekdays, Wu Sangui's son-in-law, Prime Minister Xia Guogui, and Wu Guogui, the trusted general, are in charge of command. They can be called the closest troops under Wu Sangui's command.

These troops are trained in Hanzhong according to the ordinary green camp methods, but Wu Sangui would send Xia Guo Prime Minister or Wu Guogui to leave Hanzhong for a while every once in a while, saying that he went south to the non-Qing army-occupied area near Baoning to fight Caogu. In fact, it was to avoid Li Guohan's spies and go to other places for routine training. This killer weapon, which had been prepared for many years, was officially put in handy today.

After the two sides had finished their formation, a loud general under Wu Sangui came forward to curse the formation, saying that Jiannu was the one who called on the Green Camp soldiers not to be cannon fodder for the Tartars. However, the Qing army responded to the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and cursed Wu Sangui's ungrateful behavior of betrayal of the lord.

However, the scolding did not last long. The Qing army was anxious to defeat the enemy, fearing that the Guanning army outside the north and south cities would rush to rescue, and just hoped to hit the morale of Wu Sangui's troops and declared a start.

The Qing army came in line, but the artillery at the city wall was not in a hurry to open fire, because after being placed on the city wall for a long time, the defenders knew very well how far these artillery could be. The Guanning army had not yet entered the range, so there was no need to waste gunpowder and shells.

The Qing army was like this, but Wu Sangui's troops were not polite. After finally sending red artillery from Hanzhong, they began to bombard the Qing army's battle formation. The two camps, called Zhongyong and Yiyong, advanced in formation with camps. The biggest difference between these two camps and the Qing army and even other Guanning armies is that the cold weapons held by the infantry of this Guanning army only have a spear that is 100,000 feet long, and the other infantry are bird guns and stair bows, and there is nothing else.

The Qing army's infantry attacked, and the cavalry also broke out from both wings, intending to harass the Guanning Army's battle formation. However, the Qing army's cavalry came out, and Wu Sangui's front command, neither Xia Guoshu nor Wu Guogui, sent cavalry to intercept them, even Wu Sangui. At this moment, he was just a phalanx formed by the battalion as a unit, facing the Qing army's cavalry. The only thing that was a bit inconsistent in this phalanx was that there was an extra small formation at all corners, and it was purely composed of archers.

The Guanning Army had a strong military force and the cavalry also had a numerical advantage. Even if they were separated from the three routes, they were definitely not inferior to the Qing army. However, the Guanning Army allowed the Qing army's cavalry to charge over.

The cavalry of the brigade rushed over, with spears pointed obliquely, and the dense jungle of spears formed a horse-resisting zone composed of battle formations. The cavalry of the Qing army was not helpless in the face of this situation, and there was no need for officers to command. These cavalry of the green camp took out bows and arrows from the bow bags and quiver pots, and estimated that the distance between them would be to launch cavalry and shooting.

However, as the Qing cavalry quickly approached the battle formation of the Guanning army, the Guanning army took the lead in shooting the Qing cavalry with its invasion bow.

The range of the archer bow is far better than that of the rider bow. The arrows rise like locusts and fall like rain, covering the Qing cavalry in an instant.

Faced with the rainy arrows, the Qing cavalry was moving on the war horses, and the least they had to use shields to block one or two, but some of them were still shot and fell off the horse. Sometimes the cavalry even dodged away, but the war horses were caught and fell on the ground, and the cavalry on their backs were also inevitably at risk of falling to the ground.

The army was dangerous, and even the prides in the army often had to rely on some luck on the battlefield. However, it was normal for the Guanning Army to launch the shooting with its infant bow. Even the next bird gunners standing in front of the formation were not surprising to see the Qing cavalry rushing into the range and then firing at the command.

However, this time, although the Guanning Army was still the foundation of the old Guanning Army, the shooting time was better. With the patience of the huge pressure that the cavalry was rushing towards, they waited until the Qing cavalry officially entered the range before firing.

The sound of crackling shooting sounded, and the bird gunmen of the Guanning Army retreated into the battle formation without even looking at it. The jungle made of spears was completely lit up. At this time, the arrows shot by the Qing army's cavalry and the second round of shooting of the Guanning Army's infantry archers also crossed the sky. On the one hand, the bird gunmen were chasing the backs of the bird gunmen and swept the Guanning Army's spear formation for a round of sweeping, while on the other side, it caused some Qing cavalry to be dismissed for the second time.

The cavalry of the Qing army cavalry had minimal damage to the armored spearmen of the Guanning army, and the limited gap was quickly supplemented by the subsequent spearmen. The Qing army cavalry could not hit the spear jungle, and turned around not far in front of the spear jungle, preparing to do the cavalry of the just now.

But at this moment, from the flanks, the archers of the small formation protruding from the side of the square formation aimed at the Qing cavalry team that was turning. With just one round of shooting, a large group of Qing cavalry fell on the turning road.

The Qing cavalry was caught off guard by the battle formation and hurriedly retreated to the distance. As the Qing army retreated in a hurry, the musketeers who had no worries rushed out of the battle formation, holding a sword in hand, and soon killed all the Qing cavalry who fell off their horses in front of the formation, but the head level did not cut off even any of them, and they were obviously subject to strict orders.

The battle formation was harassed by the Qing cavalry, and the square formation of the loyal and brave battalions was forced to stop on the way forward, but it did not enter the range of artillery on the top of the city.

The Qing army's infantry continued to advance, and the Guanning army's artillery shells also began to bombard the Qing army's battle formation, but they did not slow down too much. The two sides kept getting closer, artillery, archery bows, and bird guns fired one after another between the two armies, and their battle formations were also constantly damaged in the baptism of artillery and arrows, constantly replenishing, and recovering, and finally resumed.

The two sides would never continue like this. As the Qing army entered a distance that was enough to launch a charge, small formations at each corner of the front line of the Guanning Army retreated into the square formation. At the same time, the Qing army's sword and shield soldiers also launched a charge. With the throwing, with the help of the killing and injury to the spearmen in the front row of the Wu army, the Qing army rushed towards the Guanning Army's square formation with the most traditional tactics.

The Qing army intended to use killing to destroy the integrity of the battle formation, and then break a larger hole from the sag. However, as the Qing army rushed closer, the Guanning army's spearmen flattened the spears, and the subsequent spearmen directly replenished the queue. The Qing sabre and shield soldiers who rushed in the front were immediately forced into danger by several spears, and they were even killed in front of the formation, just like the scene when Chen Wen's spear formation faced the Qing army.

This scene appeared on the battlefield, and the Qing army's offensive was immediately stopped by the Guanning Army. Next, it was a spear-punching that was almost one-sidedly slaughtered with a staircase bow. The Qing army, who had been full of confidence, was immediately killed and retreated step by step. If it weren't for the rich experience of grassroots officers and turned to a formation with swords and shields, the pace of Guanning Army's offensive slowed down, I was afraid that the arrogance of Angbang and Zhang Jing's yesterday would immediately turn into a joke.

Li Guohan is the most direct person in charge of monitoring Wu Sangui's mission. Angbang and Zhang Jing has a relatively comprehensive understanding of him, but he is definitely not as good as Li Guohan. Wu Sangui's methods were hidden from the point of being completely unknown. This Angbang and Zhang Jing was not wronged. However, he seemed to have heard someone mention similar things when Wu Sangui showed this time.

"No, there are too many shooters in this formation of Wu Sangui, a dog slave, that's not right."

Whether his guess is consistent is actually no longer important. Now his primary task is to break the formation and achieve a large number of killings and injuries to Wu Sangui's troops, so that he can defend Xi'an. Otherwise, even if he really guessed correctly, it would be useless.

"The whole army will press forward and kill all these rebels!"

While the infantry was fighting, the Qing army's cavalry also launched another wave of raids to the flanks, with casualties slightly reduced, but the same was true for the killing and injury, and it still could not pose an effective threat to the flanks of the phalanx.

The old tactics of the Qing army seemed weak and powerless in front of the spear and musket formations. The Eight Banners Army, which was originally used to decide the victory and defeat, was forced to appear early. On the battlefield, the Eight Banners infantry began to lengthen from the flanks, from the front, and supplement the battle formations. The cavalry even rushed to the right wing of the Guanning Army under the personal leadership of Angbang Zhangjing.

The Guanning Army was in the west, the right wing was in the south of the army, and the Eight Banners cavalry were all out. The momentum was immediately different when the war started. However, since the war began, Wu Sangui's cavalry never moved, but it was at this time.

It is said that the heavy rain did not cause heavy dynasty, which was the strongest attack of the Qing army. Wu Sangui simply sent all the cavalry over there. The Guanning Army had a large number of cavalry and had been raising energy. Although the average quality was slightly inferior to the Eight Banners Army, with the help of the morale of restoring the Han family after the cracking and the reviving of the Han family's clothes, the two sides became more and more difficult to separate after the outbreak of the collision.

In the frontal battle formation, the Guanning Army was in an absolute advantage, and even if the Eight Banners Army was put into the battlefield, it would be useless. The joining of the Eight Banners Army on the flank gave the Guanning Army greater pressure. However, Wu Sangui's cavalry was superior, and the balance of victory fluctuated slightly and plunged towards Wu Sangui's army as at the beginning of the war.

The Qing army stood in line to fight, or was almost a massacre, and the Qing army persisted for a moment and declared collapse. The defeated soldiers fled, and the cavalry that could never open up the situation had to flee.

Wu Sangui won a great victory against the Eight Banners Army under Xi'an City, which was definitely the most brilliant victory that the Guanning Army has achieved in history.

Next, the Shaanxi governor, who was regarded as a fool by Wu Sangui, watched the Eight Banners Army outside the city fleeing towards the city, and did not dare to offend the Manchu soldiers. He had to force the city gate to open, but it was out of control. The defeated soldiers did not come in, but threw the city gate first.

The loss of the city gate means that the city basically changed hands, because there are very few examples that can be recaptured. At this time, the Qing army failed in the field battle behind the city, and the Guanning army had several times the number of troops that of the defenders, so there was no hope. As the army entered the Xi'an Prefecture City, this ancient capital of the Six Dynasties said goodbye to the Qing Dynasty.

When the army entered the city, Wu Sangui also stopped at the Xicheng Gate. The army rushed from west to east. The defenders no longer had the fighting spirit. They either bowed their heads or fled eastward without their lives. Especially the Eight Banners' family members in the city were even more childless. For a moment, the crying sounded from the East City Gate. The Eight Banners stationed completely lost their power in front of the Han people over the years, but instead looked like a group of stray dogs.

Wu Sangui was in charge of the west city gate, and news kept coming back. As the army entered the city, the north gate and the south gate were quickly broken by the Guanning army. Three armies occupied the main gate, and even these three directions were blocked. Soon, even the east gate was surrounded by Hu Guozhu from the flank, blocking the Qing army's escape route in the city.
