"Kill!"

An Xiaoliang and An Bangyan paid a heavy price, threw down more than 1,200 corpses, and filled the already deep moat under Wangjiang Pass before rushing to the city.

A toast chieftain, who had a sword in his left hand and a shield in his right, jumped up to the top of the city, and when he saw him come up, the leader of the rebels at the head of the city hurriedly thrust out his spear in his hand.

The Toast Chief was not slow to react, and quickly raised the shield in his hand, only to hear the spear fiercely hit the shield, and both of them trembled.

An Bangyan's Shuixi soldiers are equipped with shields that are all made of earth, wrapped in two layers of cowhide, because the local Tusi mostly use simple spears, such shields play a role in counteracting the thrust.

The wooden shield in the chieftain's hand shook violently, and the upper part slammed back into his shoulder, and the rebel leader was also too strong, and he pierced the wooden shield with a spearhead, revealing a sharp edge on the back.

Immediately after entering the city, the Tusi chief became the target of many rebel attacks, threw away his shield, and with a loud roar, pounced on the rebel leader.

In a panic, the rebel leader threw away his spear and turned to flee for his life.

The rebels were few in number, but the resistance was extremely fierce, and even though the leader had fled, the remaining rebels were fighting and retreating, shouting and scolding each other with the besieging Tusi soldiers.

After a while, the battle was nearing the end, and the cheers of the Tusi soldiers sounded in the city, and the closed door was also opened by An Bangyan from the inside, only to see him standing in front of the door, saying:

"Welcome to Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly and waved his hand.

But from the tens of thousands of Ming troops behind him, they neatly divided into several phalanxes, lined up in several queues, and slowly entered the pass.

When the Ming army occupied the whole city of Wangjiang Pass, set up a camp, and issued a notice, Zhu Youxiao rode into the pass with the baggage battalion.

After a short and fierce battle, the head of the city of Wangjiang Pass fluttered the banner of the Ming Dynasty.

......

The day before yesterday, Gao Chongming got a tip-off, saying that the Ming Emperor drove the imperial expedition and led the Ming army into Sichuan.

When Na An Bangyan learned that the Ming army was strong, he went to invite himself to face the saint, abandoned the alliance between the Sichuan luxury family and the Guizhou An family, and turned his head to surrender to the imperial court.

He looked at the trembling soldier who came to report the news, kicked him over, and said, "Get out!" You shit!! ”

The little soldier ran away as if he had been amnestied, thinking that he was not directly killed by the angry king, and he was also glad.

Everyone looked at each other, their own king, this was annoyed and angry after being betrayed by An Bangyan, and he was mad.

In fact, as early as more than a year ago, Yu Chongming made an appointment with An Bangyan and started an incident at the same time, but his side made trouble first, and Guizhou has not moved.

At first, An Bangyan was indeed waiting, he wanted to see Daming's reaction.

Lu Qin, the governor of the southwestern provinces, had already surprised him with the speed of sending troops, and coupled with the fact that Gao Chongming was unable to break through Chengdu and establish a huge advantage in Sichuan, An Bangyan was already hesitating.

If at this time, Hao Chongming broke through Chengdu, An Bangyan would immediately raise troops and respond in Guizhou.

However, the news of the extravagant army's breakthrough of Chengdu has not yet come, but the news of the Ming Emperor's personal expedition arrived first.

An Bangyan was taken aback at the time, and felt that it was impossible for this rebellion to win.

The emperor has personally conquered, and the total strength of the pro-expeditionary army and the southwest official army is estimated to be more than 200,000, not to mention that the officers and troops of the other provinces have entered Sichuan one after another.

An's has been based in Guizhou for more than 200 years, and if he makes a mistake, he will lose everything.

"Wangjiang Pass is still a few days away from Chongqing, what is the movement of the official army now?" Yu Chongming was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked.

A local chief said: "King, the news of the day before yesterday, after the official army broke through the Wangjiang Pass, they divided their troops with An Bangyan. ”

"An Bangyan marched along the Dahong River, and the little emperor led his own army into Nanchuan, it seems that he wants to trap us to death in Chongqing!"

"If the official army takes Nanchuan, we haven't conquered Chongqing, and then it will be a dead end!"

"Nanchuan has been defeated, even if Chongqing is taken, it will be a dead city, useless." Yu Chongming stared at him deadly, and then asked:

"Is the message accurate?"

"Accurate!"

Hearing this, Yu Chongming fell into deep thought.

Now he has no heart to hate An Bangyan, he is worried, and his mind is full of thinking about how to break the situation.

Because he was sold by An Bangyan, although he is now fighting in Sichuan, only Qin Liangyu's stone pillar can maintain self-defense in the direction of Chengdu.

However, around Chongqing, there were two armies of officers and armies who came together.

These two official armies should not be underestimated, one is the provincial reinforcements under the command of Lu Qin, who is known as the crown of the southwest generals, and the other is the emperor's own army.

There are also the stubborn defenders in Chongqing, and now he is under attack.

"In the end, it was a storming of Chongqing... Or a decisive battle with the little emperor. Thinking about it, Yu Chongming sat down, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to be extremely entangled.

At this time, Fan Long stood up and said:

"There are more than 10,000 defenders in Chongqing City, self-protection is acceptable, the attack is insufficient, and Lu Qin was dragged in Shunqing by several Tusi, we can take this opportunity to concentrate our forces and fight the little emperor!"

Seeing that it was his son-in-law who spoke, Yu Chongming's breath eased slightly, and motioned for him to continue.

Fan Long walked to the map and said, "The location of this decisive battle is best set in Nanchuan!" ”

"Nanchuan has rugged terrain, there are many hills, our army has the advantage in numbers, and there are many strongholds such as Lengshui Pass in Nanchuan, so I am familiar with the local area!"

Hearing this, Yu Chongming's eyebrows tightened and he glanced at him.

"Are you sure?"

Fan Long sneered: "Completely sure! ”

"I led my troops to intercept An Bangyan, and the king led the main force to fight the little emperor in Nanchuan, defeated the little emperor, and then turned to meet Lu Qin."

Yu Chongming pondered for a long time, and knew in his heart that now there was no other way than to fight the little emperor's personal army as soon as possible.

Once Lu Qin opened up the situation in Shunqing and the two armies met, there would be no possibility of defeating them.

Immediately, he suddenly got up and said, "Do it!" ”

"Fan Long, An Bangyan and An Xiaoliang brought 20,000 Shuixi soldiers, I will give you 40,000, use the fastest speed to eat An Bangyan of the Great Red River, and then turn around and detour back to the back of the little emperor!"

Fan Long smiled and said loudly.

......

That night, the Ming army at the head of Chongqing suddenly saw that the fire was gradually disappearing in the endless luxury army camp several miles away.

With a slight warm breeze, Yu Chongming withdrew his troops from Chongqing with his hundreds of thousands of troops, intending to fight Zhu Youxiao in the Nanchuan area.

The news spread, and there were many rumors in Chongqing.

Xu Keqiu and Huang Shoukui naturally heard the news that the emperor personally marched into Sichuan and defeated the rebels at Wangjiang Pass.

Soon, between the governor and the general soldiers, something similar to what happened in Liaodong - that is, the two disagreed.

Huang Shoukui, the general soldier of Chongqing, advocated sticking to and waiting for help, and in his opinion, if he did not add to the chaos, as long as he held Chongqing, it would be the best result.

Judging from the current strength of Chongqing City, it is still insufficient to defend the city, and if it goes out of the city without authorization and is ambushed by the rebels and suffers losses, Chongqing will not be able to hold it.

At that time, it will be a great sin, and the tide of war will change because of it.

As for the governor Xu Keqiu, when he heard that the rebels had retreated, he was very excited, and vigorously asked the Ming army in the city to attack and respond to the emperor's reinforcements.

Just when the two were in trouble for the war defense, there was another mess in the city - the officials and soldiers were making trouble.

There are often cases of official and military salaries, which occur several times almost every year, but at this juncture, they are fatal.

Xu Keqiu asked the officers and soldiers to attack, and many low-level officers were dissatisfied with him, so they began to ask for the arrears.

When the rebels retreated, many civilian officials chanted poems and praised them as great victories, constantly urging the officers and troops of various ministries to go out of the city to pursue.

The officials and soldiers were reluctant to leave the city, but they could not oppose the civilian officials, so they had to ask for money and use this as an excuse to stay in the city.

This comedic salary was only a grassroots officer at first, but a day later, at the level of a staff general and a guerrilla general, some people began to ask Governor Xu Ke for his salary.

Since last year, the Ming army in Chongqing has been reinstated.

Strangely, all provinces have varying degrees of arrears, but Sichuan is more common than other regions.

In fact, according to Jinyiwei's investigation, during Xu Keqiu's governor of Sichuan, there were 18 mutinies in Sichuan during the last year alone, which was relatively large and needed to be suppressed by the general army in person.

The name of the mutiny was to beg for money, but Jin Yiwei learned that the real reason for it was varied, and all kinds of contradictions were gathered together, which was very complicated.

To sum up, it is the dissatisfaction of some generals with Xu Keqiu and other civilian officials who do not know about military affairs, but point fingers at the battle.

As soon as this dissatisfaction reached a critical level, the generals would use the non-payment of wages as an excuse to encourage the soldiers to mutiniate and exert pressure on the civilian officials.

There are only a handful of people who really cause mutinies and troubles because of non-payment of wages.
