Qin Minping 30,000 horses stationed in Chengdu/Du, according to the soldiers, the governor Zhu Xieyuan mobilized soldiers and horses from various prefectures, nearly 20,000 people, from north to south, out of Shun/Qing/Fu, and successively regained Chong/Qingzhou Mansion, but also approached Lu/Zhou, the base camp of luxury Chongming.
Qin Liangyu was in Bao/Ningfu, leading an army of 30,000, advancing by water, and approaching Tong/Sichuan.
Yu Chongming had a large army of 70,000, captured An/Yue, quickly entered Chengdu/Dufu, and approached the capital Chengdu/Du.
Qin Liangyu immediately mobilized Qin Minping and Qin Liangming's army, blocked Yu Chongming in Ziyang, fought a big battle, beheaded 10,000, chased for 30 miles, and captured 20,000 people.
The defeated army of Luxury Chongming was like a mountain, and he was chased to run back to Lu/Zhou.
Zhu Xieyuan's army was waiting, setting up ambushes one after another, defeating Yu Chongming, forcing him to retreat to Yong/Ning, to the border of Si/Sichuan, Guizhou/Zhou, and sending a message to An Bangyan for support.
An Bangyan's 100,000-strong army is surrounding Gui/Yangtuan, attacking the city day and night.
An Bangyan called himself the 'King of Luodian', with more than 100,000 troops, captured dozens of prefectures and counties, and alarmed the entire Guizhou/Prefecture.
In the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the disaster, the people are in turmoil, the biggest threat is luxury Chongming, An Bangyan, these two people have been separated from one side for a long time, and from time to time invade the state and plunder the government, the court before the apocalypse because of the fear of Liaodong, the southwest is also powerless, resulting in the two of them further sitting bigger.
From the beginning of the Chongzhen Dynasty, after successive rectifications, the governors and governors of Si/Sichuan and other places also tried to be stable and completed the restructuring without lightly moving them.
This time, their sudden outburst really gave Si/Chuan, Gui/Zhou and the surrounding provinces a big surprise.
An Bangyan sent troops from Yong/Ning, conquered Chi/Shui, and approached Gui/Yang.
An army of 100,000 is enough to sweep away in Guizhou/Zhou, and the scattered officers and troops can only be broken one by one.
The governor of Gui/Prefecture Wang Sanshan and the governor Cao Qin were besieged in Gui/Yang, but they did not sit idly by, and the two ordered to mobilize the troops of various prefectures to gather in Zhen/Yuan, and at the same time asked Yang Zhaoji, the general soldier who had entered Si/Sichuan to assist in suppressing bandits, to return to the army to rescue.
An Bangyan besieged Guiyang for more than ten days, but still did not give up, and the onslaught continued.
At the beginning of July, Qin Liangyu pursued and killed Hao Chongming into the red/water, approaching Gui/Yang, Yang Zhaoji returned to the division, and the whole Guizhou army and horses were 60,000, from north to south, divided into three roads to encircle Qin Liangyu.
However, in half a day, An Bangyan and Hao Chongming were defeated, and 30,000 were beheaded by the official army.
Zuo Liangyu was ordered to send 30,000 troops to the north, and nearly 100,000 officers and troops besieged An Bangyan in Pu/An, An Bangyan fought hard for three days, and finally handed over the father and son of Yu Chongming and surrendered to Qin Liangyu.
So far, in less than a month, the chaos of Si/Sichuan, Guizhou/Zhou has been resolved.
The expansion of the White Lotus Sect exceeded everyone's imagination, as soon as Xu Hongru got into trouble, he responded en masse, from He/South, Shaanxi/West, Beizhi/Li, to Shan/Dong, the people who claimed to be the White Lotus Sect uprising, nearly 100,000 people!
Ma Shilong, the general soldier of Shan/Xi, led 20,000 elite soldiers, and after recovering Zou/County and Teng/County in succession, he was defeated in Yi/County, lured the enemy, set up an ambush to kill nearly 10,000 people in the White Lotus Sect, and even shot Xu Hongru with an arrow. The White Lotus Sect had no choice but to enter the river/south boundary.
Du Wenhuan, the general soldier of He/Nan, had already intercepted Liu Yongming in Zhu/Xianzhen, not far from Kai/Feng, and beheaded more than 3,000 people, and the rest fled to the mountain/east boundary.
Yu Hongzhi, who had an uprising in Beizhi/Li, originally wanted to cut off the canal and threaten Gyeonggi, but because Liu Hua led his troops to chase him too quickly, he could only go south, first entering the river/south, and then being chased by the official army into Shan/Dong.
Lu Xiangsheng, the general soldier of Shandong, was in Shun/De, calmed/fixed to meet the enemy, waited for work, and killed the chaotic army that entered the mountain/east.
Yu Hongzhi and Liu Yongming were killed one after another, and the tens of thousands of people who gathered fled and surrendered, but they disappeared in half a month.
The most difficult is Hong Chengchou in Shaanxi/West.
Wang Jiayin was chased and killed by the officers and soldiers, and finally understood that it was not possible to go south, so he began to go north, running towards the places where the control of the officials and troops was weak.
Hong Chengchou had an army of 50,000 people, almost exhausted, chasing Wang Jiayin, often in vain.
Everywhere the exiled army went, it was looted, and its numbers soared, and they moved again and again, without the slightest intention of fighting the officers and soldiers.
Luo/Chuan.
Hong Chengchou drove Wang Jiayin from He/Yang all the way through Luo/Shui, and the army was tired and the food and grass were scarce, so he could only stop and study countermeasures.
In the Luo/Sichuan County Ya, Hong Chengchou frowned and stared at the map, his fingers sliding around on it, looking tired and indifferent.
He Renlong, the deputy chief soldier, was also resentful when he watched from the side, and said: "My lord, it's not a way to go on like this, let's ask the court for support, if we chase it like this, it will drag us down." ”
Hong Chengchou was indifferent, he knew that the imperial court was already reorganizing the army, and it would take time to come from Beijing, and they could not allow the rebellious army to grow wantonly in Shaanxi/West, or even threaten West/Anfu.
If Xi/Anfu falls, the heads of these people will fall to the ground!
In the past month or so, the 50,000 troops led by Hong Chengchou have followed Wang Jiayin to eat ashes, He Renlong was already short-tempered, and at this moment, seeing that Hong Chengchou didn't say anything, he couldn't help it, and said loudly: "My lord, it's really not good, let's divide our troops and surround and kill this group of bandits in one fell swoop!" ”
"No!"
Hong Chengchou categorically refused, raised his head, and said with a cold expression: "Our troops are already small, and we must not divide our troops!" This group of bandits, where they can go now, either absorb Qing/Yang Mansion, where there are 3,000 government soldiers, and they have long been in battle, and the bandit leader will not go if he is still sober, so ...... All he can go to now is Yan/Anfu! ”
He Renlong's expression changed slightly, and he said, "My lord, you mean that the bandits are going to attack Yan/Anfu?" ”
Yan/Anfu can be said to be the northernmost province of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the vast land, sparsely populated, and extremely scarce troops, the key is that there is another important place there: Yu/Lin Town!
This is an important town on the nine sides, an important gateway to prevent Tatars, and if this place falls, it will be even more serious than the fall of Xi/Anfu!
This Yu/Lin town is not defended outside, there are 30,000 troops, and it can't be moved lightly, if the bandits are surrounded by 100,000 troops to attack it, the consequences are unimaginable!
Hong Chengchou's face also became solemn, now it is not an impossible problem, but he must ensure that Yu/Lin Town is safe!
"Herald!"
A gloom flashed in Hong Chengchou's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The army will immediately go north to Yan/Anfu, and then the fate grain officer will accelerate and rush to Yan/Anfu as soon as possible!" ”
He Renlong understood what Hong Chengchou meant, Yan/Anfu has disaster relief food, which can be temporarily used as military food to replenish it, and when the military food comes up to replenish it, it can buy them a period of time.
Hong Chengchou's army moved, and at a speed of lightly armed, rapid marching, went straight to Yan/Anfu.
Wang Jiayin's men and horses have exceeded 100,000 people, and his every move is majestic.
He was surging in his heart, and he also knew that his men and horses had no combat effectiveness, and could not be compared with the official army.
With his army of 100,000, even if there are 10,000 people defending the city, it can be easily broken!
He knew that there was a large amount of grain in Yan/Anfu, which was also urgently needed by him, and the military grain and grass of the 100,000 army was not a small amount, and most of them were still dragging their families and mouths, and they were all waiting to be fed.
However, in half a day, Hong Chengchou chased to Gan/Quan, and Wang Jiayin had already surrounded Yan/Anfu and attacked the city on all sides.
Hong Chengchou got the news and was just about to rush to the rescue, when a fast horse came to report.
A soldier fell off his horse, knelt down on one knee in front of Hong Chengchou, and said loudly, "My lord, it's not good, our grain convoy has been robbed!" ”
Hong Chengchou and He Renlong's faces changed slightly, Hong Chengchou took a step forward and said in a low voice with a calm face: "Who did it?" Who else knows? ”
The soldier was wounded, trembling all over, and said, "I don't know, it's a chaotic people, there are thousands of people, and the officers and soldiers of the grain transport team have all been killed!" ”
Hong Chengchou's face changed and changed, there was no grain and grass in his army, and he was counting on the grain transportation team to catch up as soon as possible, or go to Yan/Anfu to replenish.
Now that Yan/Anfu is besieged, his grain transportation team has been intercepted, and if he wants to find food, he will either relieve the siege of Yan'an Mansion in a short time, or ignore Yan'an Mansion and turn his head to Xi'an Mansion of Cadbury.com. Among them, it is also necessary to ignore the fact that the bandits who have been chasing them are not aware and will not turn around to chase them.
"My lord, there is an abnormal movement of the bandits, about 20,000 people are coming at us!" A scout with a binoculars around his neck ran briskly.
Hong Chengchou's face remained unchanged, this is not surprising, there are all bandits, and it is normal to get food and report to Wang Jiayin.
"My lord, what are we going to do?" He Renlong's face was anxious. Without food and grass, they were doomed to lose this battle. With their current level of exhaustion, they simply can't insist on returning to Xi/Anfu, not to mention, the bandits are still watching from the sidelines, and they won't let them go easily.
Hong Chengchou said decisively: "Ordered the Qing/Yangfu troops to march eastward, please Governor Yang send an army to respond, He Renlong, the army will take an offensive posture and slowly move forward!" ”
Hong Chengchou knew very well in his heart that at this time, he had no choice but to fight against the water!
He Renlong was unwilling, and seeing that Hong Chengchou had made up his mind, he had to grit his teeth, set up an army of 50,000, and steadily moved forward to meet him.
The 20,000 people who turned to Hong Chengchou's exile army were led by Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang, and they greeted the official army with great momentum.
Hong Chengchou looked at the wandering army in the telescope, and he said in a resolute tone: "He Renlong, you lead 20,000 troops, divide the troops and attack!" ”
He Renlong didn't take the 20,000 bandit army in his eyes in his eyes, and in response, he led his troops to separate from Hong Chengchou.
"Grain and grass have been robbed!"
"Grain and grass have been robbed!"
"Grain and grass have been robbed!"
Before He Renlong could go far, suddenly a roar of mountains and tsunamis came from the wandering army.
Hong Chengchou's face changed greatly, this is the news he tried his best to hide.
He Renlong's expression was also gloomy, he had led the troops for many years, and he knew the danger of not having food and grass, especially in the current situation, he had already felt that the army's morale was slackening!
He Renlong yelled, "The grain and grass have arrived, don't be deceived by the bandits!" ”
Hong Chengchou also knew the danger, waved his hand suddenly, and shouted in a deep voice: "The whole army, attack!" ”
