Seeing this scene, the other Tusi troops, whether they were ordinary soldiers or those Tusi masters, opened their eyes one by one, feeling so unbelievable. With so many artillery guns firing at once, the power is so great! Anything, in front of so many artillery, is like papier-mâché.

Originally, the fifty war elephants they envied were simply the kind that could influence the combat power of a Tusi territory, and they were invincible. In front of the artillery of the imperial court, it was so vulnerable!

At this moment, their understanding of war finally got a direct change.

In fact, the war in the southwest and the war in the north were not at the same level at all. In the original time, Tusi rebelled and Dongwu invaded the land of the Ming Dynasty, which were all things that the local army could handle.

And now, this is Emperor Chongzhen's personal expedition, and the army he led is the elite he selected from the armies from all over the country, and he has just experienced a series of wars in the recovery of Liaodong, which is the real elite of a hundred battles, far from being comparable to the elite of Dongwu.

No, under the shelling, the Dongwu army was in chaos. Without the direct command of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhou Yuji, one of the commanders of the Yongwei Battalion, immediately led his infantry to attack and advance.

The soldiers of the Ming army at the front were wrapped in iron armor from head to toe, and they were heavy infantry, all of them were burly northern men, all of them were holding machetes, and they were advancing in unison, just looking at them, they could make the enemy tremble.

Not only that, but on the flanks of this heavy infantry, there were also light cavalry of the hussar battalion. When the Dongwu army was in chaos, it was like a tiger that had been lurking for a long time, and pounced with lightning speed, focusing on the chaotic Donggo army, driving them away, and driving them to other armies that were not affected by this round of shelling.

Also, behind the heavy infantry, there were flintlock pikeemen and archers who followed. Their mission is to support their comrades with ranged weapons and help the heavy infantry reduce the resistance of the enemy in front of them.

Later, there are mixed arms, pikemen, sword and shield soldiers, etc., in short, all kinds of troops coordinate and cooperate to attack and advance.

This kind of multi-arm coordinated operation is impossible for the elite to cooperate in such a coordinated operation. At least these toast armies are simply impossible.

Of course, they can't take out so many types of troops, and they are basically poorly armed foot soldiers, not to mention how much armor and armor they have.

Watching the imperial court officials and troops attacking step by step, and the Dongwu army had no power to fight back at all. At this moment, the Tusi army came back to their senses after being stunned, and suddenly there was a new change.

Those rebel soldiers who had relatives who had just shouted to them, after seeing the combat strength of the imperial army, did not say a word, immediately threw away their blades and left. This kind is not one, two, but a large piece, a large piece.

After the imperial army showed its strong combat power as an introduction, the rebel army immediately began to disintegrate.

Some unwilling Tusi, or the small serf owners under Tusi, tried to stop them at first, and even slashed a few soldiers who didn't want to fight anymore. The purpose was nothing more than to deter the fugitives.

However, in doing so, not only did they not deter the fugitives, but some of the soldiers who had wanted to escape were also ruthless, holding the weapons in their hands and resisting.

Someone takes the lead, and someone naturally follows. Or maybe it's because he was bullied hard enough by the toast masters before, and now he has a chance to take revenge; Or if you want to break away from the rebels empty-handed, it is better to make a little merit, maybe the court will be rewarded; In short, under various reasons, there were more and more soldiers who abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and eventually spread to those Tusi troops who were not raided by the imperial court.

Emperor Chongzhen sat on a tall horse, and watched as the official army launched a devastating attack on the Dongwu army, while the Tusi army was already in chaos. The combat power of the rebel army in front of him cannot be compared with Liaodong Jianyu at all, and it is not a grade at all.

For the outcome of this war, Emperor Chongzhen actually expected it a long time ago.

Although the number of troops he brought with him was smaller, they were all elite. The so-called soldiers are not expensive, this truth, Tusi does not understand, Emperor Chongzhen knew it long before the crossing. Moreover, this battlefield was also chosen by him, and it was a wide place within a hundred miles of the surrounding area, suitable for the deployment of the chariot camp and cavalry of the imperial army.

In this way, there is no need for any golden finger at all, and even Emperor Chongzhen does not need to deploy how to fight, and his generals can defeat the rabble united by these toasts.

In fact, if you just want to defeat these toasts, just send an elite to come over. In other words, just let Zheng Chongjian or Chen Qiyu be in charge of the war, and there is no need to work so hard at all.

When Emperor Chongzhen was actually worried that these Tusi troops jumped into the mountains and forests and fought guerrilla warfare with the official army of the imperial court, the advantages of the official army could not be reflected, and he could only use his golden finger to not be afraid of the guerrilla warfare of the Tusi army, and there was no need to drag on the war for a long time.

Another purpose is to conquer Dongwu and sweep away all the disobedience on the southwest side. That's why he went on a personal expedition.

Seeing that the nearly 200,000 Tusi coalition army was in a mess, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head and smiled and said to Zheng Chongjian and Chen Qiyu: "It's time for the two Qing to do it, how much can be caught!" ”

"Yes!" Chen Qiyu and Zheng Chongjian commanded in unison, and then beckoned, led the remaining troops under their command, and began to pursue the Tusi army, which had already fled.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the battlefield a little more, the rebels had no power to fight back at all, and were even chased and beaten by those serfs who abandoned the darkness and surrendered to the light, so he pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and went to the barracks, and at the same time said to Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard who was following him: "The weather here is warm, I will take a nap first!" ”

"......" Li Ruolian didn't expect the emperor to say this, and after being stunned for a moment, he came back to his senses and immediately replied, "The last general will arrange this!" ”

Back then, when the emperor fought Liaodong Jianju for the first time and besieged the slave chief Dolgon in Tashan, the emperor could go to sleep first calmly, not to mention that now that the war has been decided, it is natural for the emperor to go to a nap.

Li Ruolian thought so, but she also felt a little emotional in her heart. Originally, I thought that Yunnan was in chaos, rebellions were everywhere, the rebel army was even as strong as more than 200,000, and Fanbang was involved, and it was estimated that there would be a big war to fight. If you don't do it, a lot of people will die.

Unexpectedly, after following the emperor, he saw that the emperor first summoned Langzhong from neighboring provinces, and equipped a lot of them in the army. And solicited Langzhong's opinions, and did a lot of measures to prevent soil and water adaptation. For the different northern climates and terrains here, a lot of preparations have also been made, and the promulgation of regulations in the army to do ten things and not to do ten things has really reduced the non-combat attrition of the imperial court officials and troops to a minimum.

Not only that, but the most critical step is to expect that Kunming City can be defended, first scatter the troops, sneak attack the rebels' lair, and then approach Kunming, there is this decisive battle. Along the way, it was like coming to Yunnan to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and there was nothing particularly difficult at all.

In today's battle, the rebels have gone, and the next thing is to capture the remaining territories of the rebel Tusi, distribute the fields as before, and completely realize the matter of changing the land and returning it to the stream.

Thinking like this, Li Ruolian felt that no matter what happened to the emperor, he could turn big things into small things. For the emperor, there is nothing difficult from time to time!

Your Majesty, you really don't come out of the world!

…………

This battle lasted until the evening, and the court officials and soldiers chased out for as much as 20 miles, except for the Tusi soldiers who fled into the mountains and forests, most of the Tusi troops were all destroyed or captured.

Chen Qiyu and Zheng Chongjian successively returned to the camp of the Chinese army and reported the battle situation to Emperor Chongzhen. In total, more than 50,000 enemies were killed, of which more than half were the Donggo army, and about 100,000 were captured. Most of the rest of the enemy fled into the mountains and forests, and because it was getting dark, they could not pursue.

Most of the rebellious toasts were killed, and some escaped. For example, Wu Bikui, Sha Dingzhou and others were all run away by them. However, there was an unexpected gain, and a few Xiyi were captured, and they were inquired and learned that they were Franc Jiren. In addition, Tae Tae-tun, the commander of Donggo's army, was captured alive.

On the side of the imperial court, there were about 1,000 casualties, most of whom were wounded, and those who died in battle were really lucky.

If such a war with a war loss ratio were to be changed from before, it would inevitably cause all kinds of shock. However, Emperor Chongzhen's personal expedition won the war, which war was not such a battle loss ratio? Whether it is the governor or the military general, or the soldiers of the three battalions under the Jingying and the Imperial Horse Prison, it is not strange.

If you really want to say it, only those local guards under Chen Qiyu can be regarded as the first time to open their eyes. In addition to being surprised and admired, in exchange for the rare and strange meaning of the northern comrades.

According to the information detected before the night is not closed, there are now only about 50,000 rebels outside Kunming. In this regard, Zheng Chongjian said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, tomorrow you can take advantage of the victory to march, and the Kunming White Pole Army will be able to win the attack." The only thing to worry about is the more than 50,000 rebels scattered into the mountains and forests. If you don't chase after it, I'm afraid that once the imperial army leaves, it will cause trouble to the place. But if it is pursued, this poor mountain and bad water will not only be difficult to pursue, but also the casualties will probably be not small! ”

I have to say that Zheng Chongjian has a point, and Chen Qiyu on the side also nodded in agreement. Seriously, his skull hurts a little.

He is the governor of Yungui, and it can be predicted that if Emperor Chongzhen leads the troops to triumph, then he will also stay to deal with Yungui affairs. For so many rebels scattered into the mountains and forests, often a handful of them in the east and a bunch in the west, he really has a headache, although he is not afraid that they will make such a momentum like now, but to exterminate them, after all, I don't know how much manpower, power, and financial resources will be spent!
