When the main force of the East Route Army of Gaoyi Power arrived and the soldiers approached the city, outside the small city of Shiqian, there were 40,000 Ming troops, plus nearly 10,000 Tusi Miao soldiers and squire militias.

In today's chaotic world, the scale is indeed inferior to the battle between the Ming and Qing dynasties, nor is it as good as the battle between the Qing army and the Western army in Sichuan, but it is enough to make the enemy chill in front of Shiqian City!

When the defenders of the city saw the Eastern Route Army coming in the wilderness, they had long lost their fighting spirit.

On the evening of the day when Gao Yigong's main force arrived, the defenders of Shiqian South City mutinied, broke through the city gate, and went out to surrender.

Zhang Xianbi was shocked and hurriedly sent his brother Zhang Xianzhen to resist, but who would have thought that Zhang Xianzhen saw that the people in the city were panicked, and he didn't expect to be able to defend the city, so he also took hundreds of people and ran outside the city to surrender together.

After waiting for the military order, Wang Ji prepared all night, and began to attack the city the next day.

Under Wang Yan's command, Wang Ji and Wang Shixiu are somewhat similar to Wang Yan, both were born as literati, and they are not as fierce as other generals in battle, and they are not as good as Dai Zhifan, Gao Yigong and others in terms of bravery, but he acts calmly and never fights.

At present, attacking a small city in Shiqian, he still has done his homework, there are a lot of ladders, building cars, and siege cones, if it weren't for the lack of time, how could he get a few more siege towers.

This couldn't help but make Liu Tichun and the others laugh at him, and even the three Wang brothers under him felt embarrassed. As for it? Hit a small city, and there is an internal response in the city.

At this time, the siege men and horses were prepared, 10,000 brave soldiers and 3,000 Miao soldiers served as the main attack, and the Tusi and militia who were loyal to the town and rushed to cheer were watching the play in the back to strengthen the momentum.

"General, everything is ready!" Wang Guangen hit his horse to Wang Ji and reported to him.

At noon, Wang Ji used his hand to block the sun and looked at the city, "Remember, there is an internal response in the city, and the left arm is tied with a red scarf. Wang Ji instructed, and after speaking, he added: "The city must be broken today, there are too many mosquitoes outside the city, and the governor is waiting to enter the city for the night." ”

The eastern route was very little armed with firearms, more than 40,000 people, and only more than 30 old artillery, and they first made a deafening sound, and the shells smashed on the low city wall.

The men and horses of the city embraced all kinds of siege equipment, and as the war drums were beaten, the whistling of the soldiers rose to the sky, and the shouts of killing roared out, shaking the earth.

This is the difference between the elite soldiers who have been on the battlefield and the local security forces, Gao Yigong looked at the Tusi in the distance, and saw that they were shocked, and he was very satisfied.

The Tusi in the southwest is also a very serious problem within the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen said that it was a two-line war, in fact, it was a three-line battle, the Ming army had to deal with the Tusi rebellion in the southwest in addition to dealing with the Jiannu outside the Guan, the peasant army in the Guan.

One of the main achievements of the Ming Dynasty was to open up the southwest, and with the development, there would naturally be conflicts between Han and Miao, Han Yi and so on, so the Tusi rebellion in the Ming Dynasty continued, among which the greatest harm to the Ming Dynasty was the extravagant rebellion that broke out in the Apocalypse.

The cause of this rebellion was that the Ming Dynasty wanted to transfer Tusi soldiers and horses to Liaodong to fight against Jiannu, and Chongming took the opportunity to rebel, which shows that many events in the Chongzhen period are related, not accidental.

The rebellion lasted for 17 years from the first year of the Apocalypse to the 10th year of Chongzhen, affecting the four provinces of Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Guizhou, and the large-scale fighting lasted for nine years.

In the Ming Dynasty, the rebellion was quelled at the cost of two governors, several total soldiers, and millions of military and civilian casualties.

Now that the strength of the Ming Dynasty is declining, the rebellion in Yunnan Tusi Shading Prefecture has not been pacified, who knows if there will be any chaos in Guizhou, so Gao Yigong is happy to show his strength in front of Tusi.

At this time, at the forefront, the soldiers hugging the trench bridge pushed the equipment, shouted the trumpet vigorously, and flew towards the Shiqian City, behind them, the towering ladders, and the rushing car was like a huge beast, opening its bloody mouth, intending to devour the stormy town in front of them.

The soldiers who watched the battle shouted in unison to cheer for the friendly troops. All this converged into a torrent, invisibly pressing on the head of Shiqian City, and hitting the hearts of the defenders.

In the face of this elite army that had fought against the Qing army, everyone in the city was terrified, and the soldiers trembled and pulled out their feather arrows, trembling and winding up, enduring the fear in their hearts, and preparing to fight.

A defending officer, his face was pale, and he kept swearing in his mouth, and the sergeant next to him was surprised when he heard it, because it was none other than Huang Chaoxuan and Zhang Xianbi.

At this moment, there was another commotion in the city, but someone turned against Zhang Xianbi and killed him.

In less than two hours, Shiqian City was declared lost, under the fierce offensive of the Ming army, the troops in the city had no intention of resisting, and when the Ming army climbed to the top of the city, the defenders began to disperse.

From the beginning of the siege to the entry into the city in high school, it took less than half a day, and the fight was very easy, a bit like a dad beating a baby.

The battle was easy, and the statistics of losses were naturally simple, more than 200 people were killed on the Ming army's side, and there were a little more wounded, and most of the defenders in the city surrendered as soon as the gate was broken, so the defenders were only more than 1,500 dead and wounded.

The reason for this situation is that the soldiers don't want to fight, they were originally soldiers in Chu to eat food, but they were inexplicably brought to barren Guizhou by Huang and Zhang, and the treatment was half worse, and they inexplicably had to fight with the imperial court, most of them were children of Hunan, even if they didn't think about themselves, they had to think about their families.

The Ming army broke the city, this autumn did not commit any crimes, Gao Yigong entered the city, was welcomed by the people in the city, Huang and Zhang wanted to raise 20,000 soldiers, and the exploitation was naturally powerful, and the Han and Miao in the land of Qiandong were oppressed and persecuted by them.

Gao Yigong ordered people to post notices to appease the people, and ordered the city to be blocked, Huang, Zhang and other generations were arrested, and a banquet was held in the government to appease the gentry and the Tusi of each village.

Along the way, Gao Yigong knew the topography of Guizhou, and once there was a rebellion in this place, it would definitely cost countless people to calm down.

It's not that the rebels are difficult to fight, but the main thing is that the roads are difficult to travel, and most of the losses are spent on the transportation road.

Historically, the Yongli court was able to hold on to the southwest for so long, to a large extent, thanks to the land of Yunnan and Guizhou, but it is a pity that after Sun Kewang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing court got a familiar with the terrain and knew the characteristics of the Western Army.

If the Ming army wants to pass through Guizhou, it still has to have a good relationship with Tusi, and today's siege battle has shown its strength, but it is certainly not possible to rely on force to intimidate.

The gentry in Shiqian City, the Tusi outside the city, and other leading figures, flocked to the palace to meet Gao Yigong, and bitterly presented the crimes of Huang, Zhang and others, and strongly demanded that after catching these traitors, they showed their heads to the public, and listed the evil deeds of the two people during their time in Qiandong, exploiting the place and slaughtering the Miao people, and Gao Yigong comforted a cadre, etc., saying that they must be severely punished.

Not long after, Huang Chaoxuan, Zhang Xianbi, their father, and their son were searched by the soldiers, and they were all taken to the Yannei, where they waited for processing with the captured officers.
