The situation in the southwest is now very complicated, and there is a chaotic war between the three sides.

There were three heavy army groups in the Ming Dynasty, one in Huainan, the second in Xiangfan, Nanyang, and the third in Sichuan.

As one of the three strategic centers of gravity of the Ming Dynasty, Sichuan was of great importance to the Ming Dynasty.

If Sichuan is lost, Chu will fall into passivity, and if the Jin State builds large-scale ships in Sichuan, trains for another seven or eight years, and then builds down, it will be a huge threat to the Ming Dynasty.

Historically, the southern dynasties were mostly threatened by the upstream.

Sichuan's missteps, coupled with the defeat of the Sichuan governor Wang Yingxiong, the Sichuan governor Fan Yixuan was in western Sichuan, and the Ming army was leaderless, and now the situation in Sichuan is extremely dangerous.

The imperial court was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and now it couldn't react at all, and Wang Deren, who had come to aid Sichuan, was blocked in front of the Fotu Pass, so he was a little out of control.

Looking around, the only one who can help Sichuan is Guizhou, and when Wang Deren complained to the imperial court, he also sent people to ask for help from He Tengjiao, the No. 2 person in the Chu Party.

He Tengjiao is also very clear about the importance of Sichuan, but there are only 30,000 town troops in Guizhou, and these 30,000 people still need to guard against Sun Kewang.

This made it difficult for He Tengjiao to choose, he had just transferred 20,000 people to Guiyang and was ready to support Sichuan, but Sun Kewang was expected to attack, which made him hesitate.

The whole of Guizhou fell into a dilemma at once.

He Tengjiao hesitated, but Chen Youlong, who was in Annanwei, fell into a battle to the death.

Sun Kewang saw that the outflanking could not be achieved, so he changed to a frontal attack, and the battle of Annanwei immediately entered a white heat.

Chen Youlong stood at the head of the city with his hands in his hands, his eyes indifferently watching the thief army overwhelmingly attacking Annanwei.

Although he established the Great Western Kingdom and called him the king, in terms of warfare, he still used the old practice of driving the low-level soldiers to attack the city and send them to death.

In this way, he can not only maintain his elite soldiers, but also consume the local Tusi men and horses in Yunnan, so that he, an outsider, can better control Yunnan.

Although Chen Youlong was very disdainful of Sun Kewang's approach, he still felt tremendous pressure when he saw the thief army under the city.

He now has only 10,000 people, and in the face of the attack of 50,000 thieves, he must be taken seriously.

"Duzhen, the thief army has moved!" Wang Ding, a general standing on the side, pointed to the rebels outside the city.

Chen Youlong turned around, "Order the whole army to guard the city, we and other officers and soldiers, how can we be afraid of rebellious thieves and bandits!" ”

The Ming army fought the rogues, and it can be said that the victory rate is still very high, and they can often defeat the thief army several times their own, so they have no psychological pressure.

"Obey!"

Chen Youlong's order was given, and a high-pitched horn sounded "woo-" on the head of the city.

Sun Kewang focused on attacking Xicheng, nearly two hundred trebuchets were placed in front of the formation, each trebuchet only needed more than ten people to operate, and the throwing rod was under the operation of the soldiers, creaking, and one by one forty or fifty pounds of stone bullets were put into the leather pocket, ready to go.

The conditions in Yunnan are limited, there are no red-coated cannons, and the roads are rugged, so even if there is, they can't be transported, so the siege equipment of the Western Army is all cut down on the spot.

Guizhou is full of big trees, transport one out, it is definitely the pillar of the palace, the Western Army is now asking for it at will, so it is very simple to build equipment, and you can use giant trees to build the best siege equipment.

The situation was similar on the side of the Ming army, although there were red-coated cannons, but they were rarely transported to Guizhou, especially the undeveloped western part of Guizhou, so the Ming army did not have heavy weapons that could exceed the range of trebuchets except for the small franc machine.

The drum sounded at the top of the city, and the Ming soldiers stood at the head of the city with swords, shields and spears, and the guns loaded their ammunition and waited for them on the city.

Outside the city, the western soldiers formed a formation according to their duties.

Although Sun Kewang carried out reforms in Yunnan, Yunnan's congenital deficiencies led to the lack of materials in the western army, and the soldiers could not eat well in peacetime.

After attacking the city today, Sun Kewang let the soldiers have a full meal, and the western army was full of strength, ready to attack Annanwei.

Sun Kewang did not fight in Yunnan as before, but ran Yunnan with his heart, and he pursued the policy of attacking the landlords and gentry, although he offended the gentry, but won the hearts of the people, so the morale of the western army was still very high.

The western army lined up outside the city, and Sun Kewang rode in front of each formation, constantly raising his horsewhip to signal to the soldiers, so as to boost morale.

"King! King! As he moved, the Western Army burst into endless cheers, and the cries of tens of thousands of soldiers shook the four fields.

Sun Kewang finished the army, and then returned to the main formation, boarded the lookout car, he saw that the time had come, slowly pulled out his saber, waved it forward, and shouted loudly: "Attack, after breaking the city, Dasuo for three days." ”

Dasuo for three days, which means that after the city is broken, the soldiers can rob, kill, and rape at will without military discipline for three days, and the thief army will be happy immediately.

As soon as the military ordered, two hundred stone throwers began to creak and shoot stone projectiles at the city, and thousands of pioneers flocked to Annanwei like a flood like a dam.

The defenders of the city are carrying the boulders, and the Franc machine begins to look for the target, while the standard-bearer at the head of the city carefully examines the opponent's ladders, nest carts and other climbing equipment, and indicates the target to the artillery carts set up behind the city wall.

The first wave of the Western Army is getting closer and closer, and it has entered the 500-step line, if it was heavy artillery, it would have been able to shoot a long time ago, but the Ming army only had a small cannon of the Franc machine.

Wang Ding watched the wave of thieves' attacks approaching the city step by step, and the front army had already entered five hundred steps, and he waved the battle flag in his hand.

"Franc machine shooting!"

The artillery of the Ming army suddenly shot out, white smoke rose from the city wall, and nearly 100 iron bullets erupted, firing a volley towards the army of thieves.

The cannonballs whistled, the shields of the thieves could not block the shells, and a group of people in the army turned on their backs, and hundreds of thieves and soldiers were knocked away by strong iron bullets, and a single iron bullet killed a string of people.

At the same time, the artillery in the city, under the guidance of the flag, began to throw stone bullets outside the city, more than 100 long throwing rods swung out, and smashed hundreds of huge stones into the thief army's formation, the boulder made a sharp whistling sound, rolling and whistling in the air and appeared above the head of the thief army, the thief army shouted, the speed of the stone bullet was slower than the cannonball, and the soldiers dodged to both sides.

'Boom! With a muffled sound, the boulder fell, the dust flew, several thief soldiers couldn't dodge, and were smashed into meat sauce, and the strong impact force made the boulder continue to roll, rushing straight into the group of thief soldiers, knocking out a blood line.

The stone bullets of the Ming army mainly competed against the equipment of the Western Army, and there was a loud noise, a boulder hit the building car, only to hear a clicking sound, the wooden frame shook a few times and then shattered, a building car was smashed and collapsed, the huge building car fell down, the wooden frame hit the panicked soldiers around it, and suddenly a miserable scream rang out.
