After saying so much in one breath, Qin Liangyu finally finished speaking, and then stretched out his hand back and said, "Two of you, enter the city with the old man, right?" ”

Long Zaitian and Wang Yangzu were stunned when they heard this, and when they finally heard Qin Liangyu's invitation to enter the city, they looked trusting, and they knew that this was Qin Liangyu vouching for them, and they couldn't help but be very moved.

Long Zaitian immediately clenched his fists and saluted Qin Liangyu solemnly: "Governor Qin trusts me so much Long, this feeling, Long should remember it!" ”

"I, Wang Yangzu, will definitely live up to the trust of the Governor of Qin!" Wang Yangzu was also very surprised, and then he was moved, patting his chest and reassuring.

There are not many people who lead the troops to fight, and they are all crooked people, and they are all straightforward. Of course, Qin Liangyu had assessed the loyalty of the two of them to the imperial court and felt that there would be no problem. Now that she came out and saw it, she didn't find anything abnormal, and she explained the relationship so clearly that she didn't believe that she would look away. Of course, the side she showed at this time was somewhat to make up for the damage caused to Long Zaitian and Wang Yangzu by closing the city gate before.

Seeing the performance of the two of them at this time, Qin Liangyu smiled and said: "Okay, even if we wait for the horse leather shroud this time, the emperor will avenge us, and he will gather in the Ming Martyrs' Shrine on the other day, and he will live forever with the country!" ”

Qin Liangyufu's family is the descendant of the horse aid of the "horse leather shroud". Now, when he shouted these words that made the soldiers enthusiastic, Long Zaitian and Wang Yangzu both looked at each other and smiled: "Okay, what about the horse leather shroud, he will see you again in the martyrs' shrine one day!" ”

So, Qin Liangyu led the two of them into the city and officially started the battle of Kunming to defend the city.

I have to say that when Sha Dingzhou and they came together, they were also surprised when they found that the flags of Long Zaitian and Wang Yangzu were flying on the head of Kunming City.

In their opinion, the contemporary Qianguo Gong does not convince them, and his methods are also average. Therefore, they also thought that Long Zaitian and Wang Yangzu would defend the city outside the city.

In fact, not to mention, in the original history, Mu Tianbo was really not a capable person. After escaping Kunming, he hardly trusted anyone. Zhining Zhou Lu Yong ordered to lead the troops to fight the rebels, and the official Zhou Ding stopped Mu Tianbo from leaving, asking him to stay and crusade against the traitors, after all, Mu Tianbo is the Duke of Qianguo, who has the duty to defend the territory and can set the heart of the army. As a result, Mu Tianbo suspected that Zhou Ding was deceiving him, so he killed Zhou Ding and fled to Chuxiong.

At this time, Sha Dingzhou's original plan to humiliate the two "traitors" and kill Long Zaitian and Wang Yangzu first and then attack Kunming was naturally scrapped.

All kinds of toasts gather under the city of Kunming, all kinds of flags, all sides. The Tusi soldiers from all walks of life are almost all over the mountains and fields, boundless, and the number of this summed up is more than 100,000, which is very huge.

However, when the White Pole Army originally withdrew to Kunming, it had already prepared to defend in Kunming. The material reserves are sufficient, and the defensive work is also in place. With the addition of Long Zaitian and Wang Yangzu's men and horses, the strength of the army is even more relaxed. Even if there are a large number of rebels outside the city, they will not panic, and the day when reinforcements will arrive is the time to suppress these traitors.

It is also for this reason that although the imperial court officials and soldiers in the city have also tried to send people to ask for help and inform Kunming of the latest military situation, they will not panic after being blocked, anyway, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth.

From February 22 of the 19th year of Chongzhen, the defense of Kunming officially began.

Sha Dingzhou, Wu Bikui and others used all the siege tactics they could use, and the Tusi suffered heavy casualties, but the most successful one, that is, in the early morning, rushed to the head of the city with more than a dozen soldiers, and then was driven out of the city.

Faced with such a situation, the morale of these rebel toasts is finally no longer as high as it was at the beginning. The extremely strong defense on the side of Kunming City, especially the performance of the White Pole Army, surprised these toasts.

Originally, they thought that the White Pole Army had not made any progress in fighting Shadingzhou for several years, and even later, they took the initiative to withdraw from the army, and their combat strength should be just like that. At this time, others didn't know, but Sha Dingzhou, who had fought with the White Pole Army, understood that the White Pole Army had not tried their best before!

This time passed day by day, the Ming flag was still fluttering in the city of Kunming, and the reinforcements of the imperial court must also be rushing to Kunming City day by day, and almost all the Tusi began to worry.

At a military meeting, a Tusi finally proposed: "This Kunming city really can't be defeated, otherwise, let's withdraw first, right?" ”

When Wu Bikui heard this, he immediately became angry, slapped the table and shouted: "Didn't we already say beforehand that this Kunming City must be defeated?" If we can't defeat Kunming City, our life will only be more difficult in the future. At this time, who dares to say that he will withdraw from the army, that is the internal response of the imperial court, deliberately shaking our military heart! ”

As soon as he heard this, the other toasts who originally wanted to retire did not dare to speak. And the toast who spoke just now blushed, straightened his neck and argued: "Fart, who is the spy?" How many of my sons have died, haven't you seen them? At least more than you, who is desperate and who is not desperate? ”

When Wu Bikui heard this, he was about to speak, but he saw Sha Dingzhou stand up and said loudly: "Okay, don't make any noise!" ”

When the leader of the alliance spoke, he had to give some face, and the scene quieted down.

Seeing this, Sha Dingzhou smiled, and then said to the others: "Everyone, in fact, Kunming is difficult to fight, and we should all know it in our hearts. But as long as Kunming is laid, the wealth accumulated by the Mu family for hundreds of years will be all ours. According to what was said before, whoever is the first to attack the city will be the most powerful, and the one who will get the most wealth! This point remains the same. ”

Speaking of which, he was not particularly excited when he saw the other toasts, so he knew that these toasts were not stupid, and he knew that if he wanted those wealth, he had to at least conquer Kunming City. But this Kunming city is so difficult to fight, it has already consumed their desire for those riches.

So, he smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, before we set off, the leader of this alliance has already expected the solidity of Kunming City, so he has already made preparations. Soon, this Kunming city will be broken! ”

As soon as he heard him say so surely, even Wu Bikui was a little surprised, looking at him and thinking in his heart, it seems that the loss of troops on Shadingzhou's side is not much, so he is waiting for an opportunity?

"Alliance leader, what have you prepared? Come and hear it! ”

"Since you are prepared, why didn't you say it earlier, let us lose our men and horses in vain?"

“……”

In the toast crowd, there were all kinds of voices, but no matter what, after Sha Dingzhou said this, the atmosphere was still there.

Sha Dingzhou was not angry at some of the harsh voices of some toasts, but just waved his hand and said: "In today's world, there is nothing more powerful than heavy artillery. And the best siege artillery comes from Xiyi, which has a much longer range and more power than the artillery at the head of Kunming......"

As soon as he heard this, before he could finish speaking, a group of toasts began to shout.

"Who doesn't know this? But where do we get that kind of artillery? ”

"That is, if there is such a thing, then the city wall will not move, and it doesn't mean that it will collapse when it collapses?"

“……”

When Wu Bikui heard this, a possibility immediately came to mind in his heart. Sure enough, before he finished speaking, he saw Sha Dingzhou glance at his military advisor, and then said loudly: "Everyone, there are still allies on the side of the alliance leader, that is, the red-haired Hongyi, and their Hongyi cannon is very powerful and powerful. At the suggestion of the military advisor, the leader of this alliance had already gone to borrow it. Now, it will soon be in Kunming. ”

He was talking about Annan's side. Now Annam's side is divided into two forces, the north and the south, which is known in history as the Zheng Nguyen dispute. Among them, the Trung clan on the other side was supported by the Portuguese, while the Nguyen clan in the south was supported by the Dutch and had been fighting for many years.

The ally mentioned by Sha Dinh Chau is actually the Nguyen clan in the south.

At this time, hearing his words, the toasts couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Is there really a Hongyi cannon?"

"It is said that this kind of Hongyi cannon, which is eroded for dozens of miles with one cannon, is an artifact from the sky, and this Kunming city will be broken!"

"Didn't you say that this kind of Hongyi cannon, the more powerful it is, the heavier it is, and our roads in Yunnan are difficult to walk, so it's really shipped over?"

“……”

Sha Dingzhou listened to their surprise words, and his heart was very affected by the feeling of this moment, and after a long while, he said with a smile: "If it weren't for the difficulty of the road, this matter would not have been announced so late." You can rest assured, although there are only three Hongyi cannons, in three days, after arriving in Kunming City, it will be the end of those officials and soldiers in the city! ”

"It's worthy of being the leader of the alliance, okay!" Tusi, who had a good relationship with Sha Dingzhou, immediately shouted, "The Mu family's money, there should be an alliance leader who has the lion's share!" ”

"Yes, if there is no alliance leader to take precautions and actually borrow the Hongyi cannon, otherwise, when will this Kunming be defeated? It is right that the alliance leader should share more money and food! ”

“……”

Wu Bikui was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, at this time, he couldn't help but complain, why didn't his allies have Hongyi cannons? If you want to fight the New Year, didn't they wipe out the whole army of Franc Man, so powerful, there is not a single Hongyi cannon?

After Sha Dingzhou announced the news, these Tusi naturally stopped attacking the city and waited for the Hongyi cannon to arrive finally.

At the head of Kunming City, Mu Tianbo waited for the grain fields, but he didn't see the rebels attacking the city anymore, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that these rebels know that they can't defeat Kunming City, and now they are powerless to attack the city!" ”

Qin Liangyu listened, but shook his head, and said a little unoptimisticly: "Guogong can't be happy too early, although these Tusi no longer attack the city, they have no intention of retreating, but their morale is high, and they are old and look at it, I am afraid that there is something to rely on, and if they turn around or not attack, once they attack again, I am afraid it will be difficult to fight!" ”

Hearing this, Mu Tianbo carefully observed the situation of the rebels outside the city, and found that it was indeed as Qin Liangyu said, and his heart suddenly cooled.
