Chapter 121 How Many Wu Sangui Are There?
Thousands and hundreds of white felt hats were surging in front and behind Li Guo.
Under the felt hat, there were thousands and hundreds of soldiers of the old rear camp of the Dashun Army who were full of grievances. They were surrounded by the general of the rear camp, Li Guo, and were walking away from the battlefield in panic.
This is really panicky, frustrating, and full of unwillingness and dissatisfaction.
It’s not like they, the veterans of the old battalion, have never suffered defeats before. They have suffered many defeats more tragic than today’s! However, they have never suffered a more unjust defeat than today’s defeat.
There are a total of 2,000 elite old battalions! They are all cavalry! If they are spread out to fight, even if they encounter tens of thousands of red thieves' soldiers and horses, they have nothing to fear. Even if they can't win, can't they just walk away calmly with the power of their horses?
But who would have thought that Wu Sangui was so cunning, and Tang Tong didn't know what was going on, but he turned around and defected to the Zhu Thief on the battlefield. He also set up a trap with Wu Sangui, and severely tricked his own family...
...Is Tang Tong out of his mind? Dashun seems to have the world under his control, why is he still rebelling? Besides, wasn’t the Zhu family’s Beijing city lost because he rebelled at Juyongguan? If he could
After holding on for ten days and a half at Juyong Pass, Wu Sangui's army entered the city. Can King Chuang rule the world?
He, the number one sinner of the Ming Dynasty, still defected and went back. Isn't he crazy because of his failure?
At this time, Li Guo had no time to figure out Tang Tong's thoughts. Instead, he ran away and stretched his neck to look in the direction of Tianjin Weinan City.
There were still flames over there, and there were faint sounds of fighting and the roar of guns and cannons - it was obvious that the red thieves generals in Tianjin Weinan City were still desperately resisting!
Why are these red thieves so tenacious? They didn't give up even after the city was broken, and they actually fought with Chen Yongfu until it was almost dusk...
"Master Hou! The pontoon, the pontoon seems to be lost!"
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted in Li Guo's ear. Li Guo was immediately startled and quickly turned his gaze to the pontoon in front of him.
Li Yan's Dahu flag and Dashun's "Chuang" battle flag have disappeared. They were replaced by a dragon flag and a tri-service command flag!
Has the pontoon been captured by red thieves?
This really scared Li Guo!
No matter how much losses the north bank of the Wei River suffers, it will not affect the outcome of the Battle of Tianjin. As long as Chen Yongfu can capture Wei Na City in Tianjin, the winner of this battle will still be Li Guo.
The Crown Prince of the Zhu family and Wu Sangui would not be able to hold on to Weibei City in Tianjin no matter what, so they would most likely abandon the city and walk to Dagokou. After arriving at Dagokou, they would wait for the right wind direction to float to Denglai.
Even if they don't leave, Chongzhen and Zhu Cixiang, who are huddled in Dagukou, will not be able to threaten the city of Beijing.
Dagukou is too far away from Beijing, more than 300 miles, and Tianjin Wei is stuck in the middle.
Therefore, Dashun's army could then concentrate on dealing with the Zhu bandits from Yongping or the Manchus coming from the east or north.
As long as they can fight evenly with the Manchus, Dashun's world will be stable...
But if the Zhu bandits on the north bank of the Wei River cross the Wei River to support Tianjin Nancheng, Chen Yongfu will most likely be defeated! If he is defeated, Tianjin Wei will be completely controlled by the Zhu bandits.
In this way, Dashun, who is entrenched in Beijing, will face the danger of Donglu in the north and Zhu bandits in the south.
If Dashun cannot protect Beijing, the consequences may be worse than not coming to Beijing in the first place!
"No!" Li Guo gritted his teeth, "We have to destroy the pontoon... Brothers, follow me and fight against the red thieves for the sake of peace in the world!
After this battle, the Tianjin Guards will let you run wild!"
"Fight them!"
"Kill the red thieves and seize Tianjin!"
Li Guo took out the Tianjin Guards as a reward, and the low morale of the old battalion soldiers below was immediately boosted.
In fact, their losses were not big. They were tricked by "Tang Tong" and "Wu Sangui" under the mound, and they lost 200 people. The brigade led by Li You was ambushed again under the barrier guarded by the Tang army.
More than a hundred people were lost.
The two defeats together only resulted in the loss of more than 300 people, and in the process of being chased by Wu Sangui, dozens of stragglers also lost their lives. Four hundred people were lost one after another, which is not a lot, but
Wu Sangui's Yiding cavalry was still underestimated by Li Guo.
They are fast when escaping, but slow when chasing the enemy. The horses of the cavalry here have long been unable to run, and now they are walking fast. At this speed, the infantry may be able to catch up. And the Wu family's Yiding
The sudden cavalry actually couldn't catch up, and was pushed further and further away.
These "Yiding" people are obviously afraid of death! The old Wu family has raised a bunch of trash...
"Master Marquis, there are more than a thousand riders in the northwest direction, and they seem to be heading towards the pontoon bridge!"
At this time, someone reported the latest battlefield changes to Li Guo. Today's battlefield was really chaotic. Not only were Dashun and Ming families fighting in chaos, but there was also a group of confused rebels in the Tianjin Acropolis.
Outside the city, there was a cavalry group wandering around from nowhere.
By the way, the trap laid by Wu Sanfu was actually to deal with this unidentified cavalry. But no one expected that this cavalry was just wandering around the edge of the battlefield, while Li Guo led 2000 cavalry and accidentally ran into the trap.
.
But at this moment, this cavalryman somehow managed to head towards the pontoon bridge.
Whose people are they?
"Whose people are they?"
Zhu Cixiang was standing on the platform above the cabin of the Dalongtou at this time, holding a telescope and looking at the large group of cavalry approaching rapidly in the distance, frowning deeply.
Now the witch Red Lady has been captured, Li Yan's men and horses have been killed, and the pontoon bridge has been captured.
They were about to win, so why did thousands of cavalry appear out of nowhere? They were a fresh force! And looking at their marching formation, they were not much worse than the Han generals. They were obviously elite.
Thousands of elite cavalry can turn the tide of the battle!
"There are no flags, and there are no uniforms...Looking at their formation, they are obviously well-trained soldiers and horses!"
Cao Youyi also held the telescope and looked at it again and again, and made comments while looking, his tone seemed solemn.
"Huh, no matter who it is, I can handle it!" He put down the telescope with a confident smile on his face.
In fact, what can he do? It's nothing more than two red cannons spraying grape bullets... But the premise is that the other party, like Li Yan and the red lady, stupidly comes up to be bombarded.
If the visitors were just moving around the pontoon bridge and blocking the Ming army north of the Wei River from crossing the bridge, Zhu Cixiang would have no choice.
"Shuai Cao Wei, chief helmsman." Zhu Cixiang turned to look at Cao Youyi and Shen Tingyang, "Go and arrange for the soldiers from the ships other than the Da Longtou to land at the Weihe Pier... and then call the Tianjin Wei Nancheng.
Beimen, try to transfer my father, the queen and Wu Xiang to the ship."
Zhu Cixiang had just made the "stop loss arrangement" in the worst case scenario. The unidentified cavalry had stopped advancing four to five hundred steps north of the pontoon bridge, and launched a shock formation of forty or fifty cavalry.
About twenty of them came out. From a distance, it looked chaotic, but those who knew how to fight on horseback knew that this group of cavalry was not easy to deal with.
This group of cavalry was impartial and blocked the path of Li Guo and others. The cavalry under Li Guo had been busy on the battlefield for most of the day. Although they did not keep running, their horsepower was exhausted and they could no longer charge.
Not moving anymore.
Therefore, Li Guo did not dare to approach this group of unknown cavalry, and stopped at a distance. While gathering his men, they reluctantly formed a close formation, and asked Li You to go up and ask where they were coming from.
Just as Li You rode his horse forward, a general's flag was suddenly struck out by this group of cavalrymen who came from nowhere.
When Li Guo saw this flag, he was stunned. Because the flag was clearly embroidered with the words "Liaodong Commander-in-Chief Ping Xibo"!
The person in front is actually Wu Sangui!
But the group of people chasing behind were also under the banner of Wu Sangui?
How many Wu Sanguis were there in the Ming Dynasty?
