Chapter 906 Robbery while the fire is on

Wang Yan is not wrong to worry, Sun Kewang is a very ambitious person, how can he be willing to live in Yunnan for the rest of his life.

After Sun Kewang integrated the Shaomin and Han forces in Yunnan, he wanted to seek more territory, so he repeatedly invaded Guangxi and Guizhou, constantly encroaching on the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, with Sun Kewang's strength, he didn't dare to provoke the Ming Dynasty too much, so he could only take advantage of the fierce battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and when he had no time to take care of the southwest, he made small moves and occupied more places, but he was also afraid of provoking the Ming Dynasty and causing the army to crush him, so his provocation was very measured.

In October, the news that the Ming army and the Jin army were in Sichuan reached Sun Kewang's ears through secret agents, and Sun Kewang immediately felt that he had waited for an opportunity.

He immediately stationed 50,000 soldiers and horses on the Yunnan-Guizhou border, ready to wait for the opportunity, and at this time, the Ming army was defeated in Sichuan, Yuan Zongdi was besieged, and the news of Wang Yingxiong's self-killing reached Sun Kewang's ears.

The Ming army was defeated in Sichuan, Sun Kewang immediately felt that the time was ripe, when even if he led the army to Guizhou, the front of the army pointed directly at Guiyang, but unfortunately Sun Kewang was not overwhelmed, and the army advanced to Annanwei, but was blocked by Chen Youlong.

Operations in the southwest were mainly mountain warfare, and it was very difficult for the two armies to find an open field for a duel, and the battles were extremely complicated between the mountains and forests, and the ability of command was also urgently tested.

Sun Kewang incorporated a large number of rebels in Shading Prefecture, these are Tusi soldiers and horses, very good at fighting in the mountains and forests, walking like flying in them, and on the side of the Ming army, Chen Youlong is also a fierce general who has repeatedly quelled the rebellion of Miao Li, and he can be said to know very well about mountain and forest operations, and the Ming army also has Guizhou Tusi to help in the war.

The terrain in the southwest is rugged, there are not many roads, Sun Kewang's garrison is in a valley southwest of Annanwei, the front road is blocked by Chen Youlong, and the two armies have fallen into a stalemate in Annanwei, and there is no progress on either side.

Guizhou is not better than other places, all the way is not passable, immediately detour, interspersed with roundabouts, Guizhou has many mountains and few roads, once it is occupied by the main point, it is difficult to bypass.

A small force may be able to bypass it, but the baggage and grain still have to take the big road to transport, so if Sun Kewang wants to kill Guiyang, he must rush away from Annanwei.

In order to break the deadlock, Sun Kewang intended to send a group of men and horses to pass through the mountains and forests next to Annanwei, detour behind the Ming army, and cut off Chen Youlong's supplies.

Chen Youlong also wanted to send a man and a horse to infiltrate Sun Kewang's back, and the two sides collided together in the mountains and forests with their own goals.

The two armies climbed along both sides of the mountain, and the mountains and forests were full of figures walking through them.

On the eastern slope of the mountain, the Ming soldiers wearing iron helmets, wearing mandarin duck battle robes, holding rattan cards and holding Miao knives climbed in front, and the Ming soldiers holding guns in the back followed closely behind, and had climbed to the mountainside.

On the back side of the eastern hillside, thousands of men and horses were also climbing upward, their armor was much more chaotic, and their weapons were not uniform, not like some elite, but they were walking like flying in the forest.

The two centaurs are densely packed, like a race, climbing to the top of the mountain.

There were few people in the Western army, and the speed in the mountains and forests was much faster than that of the Ming army, and soon a vanguard climbed to the top of the mountain.

The generals of the Western Army did not pay attention to the situation under the hillside, and the first general was looking from the mountain to look at Annanwei in the southeast, as long as they climbed over the hill and walked some distance, they could go around to the back of Annanwei.

A native soldier looked down, his expression did change greatly, he was condescending, only to see that in the woods below the slope, countless red figures, were climbing upward, like a green forest, mixed with maple leaves, the nearest has appeared in front of them.

The soldier hurriedly called the police in the local dialect, but almost at the same time, in the woods below, several gunners raised their guns and fired a round of shots, and clouds of gunpowder smoke immediately rose from the woods below, and several Western soldiers who had reached the top immediately rolled down.

The sudden change caused the people on both sides of the hillside to be slightly stunned, a little stunned, the western army on the western slope, seeing the soldiers who climbed to the top of the mountain, was suddenly beaten and rolled down, and they stopped in shock, while the Ming army on the eastern slope, after being stunned, suddenly let out a scream, and the rattan player who climbed in front immediately roared and climbed up.

The Western Army was stunned, and the Western Army, which was originally climbing faster, was a beat slower, and climbed to the top of the mountain almost at the same time as the Ming Army, and the two armies immediately collided together.

As soon as several native soldiers appeared, they were stabbed into the abdomen by sharp Miao knives, and then kicked down the mountain, and the bloody war knives, with the Ming soldiers' very kicked, were pulled out of the abdomen of the native soldiers, bringing out a burst of blood mist.

The soldiers screamed and rolled down the mountain, the native soldiers next to them waved their knives and fired back, the Ming army was also cut down a few people, and the Ming army behind immediately made up for it, and the two sides exchanged their lives on the top of the mountain, and people kept rolling down from the top of the mountain.

In terms of equipment, the Ming army was superior to the native soldiers after all, and fought in close combat, and the Ming army soon had the advantage and drove the native soldiers down the mountain.

The Ming army roared, intending to push the native soldiers to the foot of the mountain, and the soldiers rushed down from the top of the mountain, but were soon shot by the native soldiers with bows and crossbows.

In the mountains and forests, the armor of the native soldiers is not uniform, many people just wear a step robe, and the defense is not as good as the Ming army, but the color of their foot robes is close to the mountains and forests, and the mandarin duck robe of the Ming army is too conspicuous.

For a time, the Ming army, which was chasing down the hillside, was shot by the bow and crossbow of the hiding native soldiers, and immediately suffered heavy losses.

A member of Qianhu was coated with poisoned crossbow arrows, shot through the throat, immediately covered his neck, his face distorted and fell, rushed down the mountain, the Ming army rushed down the mountain, panicked, ran back one after another, and then built a front on the top of the mountain, and the guns kept shooting down the mountain.

The terrain of Guizhou is rugged, and the entire mountain and forest area suddenly resounded with the sound of shouting and killing in the sky, echoing in the heaven and earth.

The sound of "booming" cannons and the dense sound of guns rose and fell in the mountains, and clouds of white smoke rose in the forest, indicating the fierceness of the war.

The battle lasted from noon to evening, and the sound of the fighting slowly stopped.

In the camp of the Western Army, in the commander's tent, Sun Kewang stood in front of the map with his hands in his hands, looking at the geographical map of mountains and rivers.

At this time, Bai Wenxuan, who was covered in gunsmoke, lifted the curtain and broke in with his helmet, he saw Sun Kewang's back, with bad luck on his face, and saluted him: "King, the troops have bumped into the Ming army, and the plan to outflank has failed." ”

Hearing the shouting and killing in the mountains and forests, Sun Kewang knew that the plan had failed, and now listening to Bai Wenxuan's report, he was prepared in his heart, so he did not make waves.

"It's okay!" Sun Kewang turned around, "The secret agent reported that the Ming army was eager to break through the Fotu Pass and ask for help from Yuan Zongdi, He Tengjiao dispatched more than 20,000 people to ask for help in Sichuan, and now there are only more than 10,000 people against Chen Youlong, defeat him, Guizhou is at your fingertips." Originally, Lone didn't want to consume soldiers and prepare to outwit them, but now that he can't outflank him, let's attack hard. ”
