Chapter 963 takes Yunnan

At the end of May of the second year of the reign of the Communist Party, He Tengjiao issued an order to fight for Sun Kewang in Guiyang, and three people, a total of 110,000 people, suddenly attacked Sun Kewang.

In fact, the Ming army used far more than 110,000 troops, including a large number of Tusi soldiers and horses, and Haoqiang spontaneously accompanied him, which was bound to destroy Sun Kewang.

Yunnan and southern Sichuan are crisscrossed by mountains and forests, and foreign forces may not even be able to find the road, so it is very difficult to attack, but the Ming army does not have such a problem.

Sun Kewang suppressed the gentry and landlords in Yunnan, causing many people to flee to the areas controlled by the Ming Dynasty, and now the official army was about to counterattack Yunnan, and these reactionary elements were eager to regain their own land and property, so they became the vanguard of the official army.

They are familiar with the terrain, familiar with the human environment, and also have a certain relationship with the local young people's leaders, they act as guides for the Ming army, the Ming army is not afraid of not finding the way, and they go to persuade the Tusi of the mountains and forests to surrender and surrender the city checkpoints, which will be of great help to exterminate Sun Kewang.

In addition to these people who fled into the area ruled by the Ming Dynasty, in Yunnan, there were many gentry who were oppressed by Sun Kewang, and the generals who were born in the Western Army in the Ming army sequence could also contact some old ones and become the internal response of the Ming army.

More than 60,000 people of He Tengjiao set out from Guiyang on the same day to march to southern Sichuan, where the western army was heavily assembled, and at the same time Chen Youlong, who was on the Yunnan-Guizhou border, had already killed the place where Yunnan and Sichuan were junctional, controlling the official road, so that Sun Kewang and Ai Nengqi could not contact each other.

Soon after these two groups of men and horses were dispatched, the Ming army in Guangxi received orders, and more than 40,000 people began to advance towards Yunnan.

Sun Kewang is known as 100,000 male soldiers, but that is just to scare outsiders, and the people he can really fight are only about 30,000, and most of the rest are miscellaneous soldiers.

Originally, under the conditions of Yunnan, he could not raise so many soldiers, but he exploited the gentry and landlords in Yunnan, as well as the big tusi, and forced them to help them pay, so that he still had some resources in his hands, which could build a shelf of 100,000 people.

He chose this model, which also determined that he could not stay quietly in Yunnan, the entire Western military regime must be very aggressive and expansive, he must keep plundering resources in order to raise troops, and he plundered, which will inevitably make him provoke a powerful existence, causing tension, in order to deal with the tense situation, he needs to recruit more troops and horses, and a cycle is formed.

This gene of the Western military regime determines that he will either win the world or die on the way to fight for the world, of course, the Western military regime can also change its policy, but this requires a peaceful external environment, and the Western army obviously does not have this condition.

Now, the Western Army has provoked a powerful existence that he can't deal with, and the Western Army, which has not many soldiers, has been divided into two pieces by the Ming Army.

In order to compete with Haoge for southern Sichuan, Sun Kewang almost exhausted his elite, and Ai Nengqi, who stayed in Yunnan, claimed to have more than 40,000 people, but the real elite soldiers in his hands had already been transferred to southern Sichuan by Sun Kewang one after another, and there were less than 2,000 elite soldiers left.

Hearing the news that the Ming army in Guangxi had entered Yunnan, Ai Nengqi was greatly frightened, he had persuaded Sun Kewang not to provoke the Ming Dynasty and run Yunnan with peace of mind, but Sun Kewang did not listen, saying that it was just a long time to live, and sooner or later it would be destroyed, and if you want to survive, you must earn the world. If you don't develop, you just wait for death, fight hard, and there is still a glimmer of life.

Ai Nengqi knew that what Sun Kewang said was not unreasonable, but the key was that he did not grasp the scale and timing well, which attracted the attention of strong enemies.

There were 40,000 Ming troops attacking Yunnan, all of whom were elite Ming troops, and many native soldiers accompanied them.

The Ming army was menacing, Aineng singularity gathered troops and horses, ready to go to meet the attack, the army only set off from Kunming, and news came from the front line, Ma Weixing, a veteran of the Western Army guarding Guangnan Mansion, surrendered to the Ming army under the persuasion of Liu Wenxiu, and gave up Guangnan Mansion.

Liu Wenxiu turned out to be one of the four kings of the Western Army, ranking in front of Ai Nengqi, and had considerable influence in the Western Army.

When Ainengqi got the news, the army immediately returned to Kunming, hoping to use the complex terrain of Yunnan and the Tusi along the way to block the Ming army's advance, wear down the morale of the Ming army, and make them a tired army when they arrived at the city of Kunming.

However, Ai Nengqi miscalculated again, the Ming army did encounter some trouble in the advance, and the people of Yunnan seemed to be very disgusted with the official army, but the Ming army, under the leadership of the guide, only took only fifteen days to approach Kunming.

The Ming army is different from the Jin army, the Jin army is the northern army, not good at fighting in the mountains and forests in the south, and there is no guide who is familiar with the terrain, so it is difficult to defeat the Western army, but the Ming army is different, there are many generals of the Western Army in the continuous army, and there are also gentry in Yunnan, the landlord is the guide, for the internal response, and is also good at fighting in the mountains and forests, and the equipment training of the Western Army is not as good as the Ming army, so there is basically not much advantage.

As soon as Ai Nengqi received the news that the road to southern Sichuan was cut off by Chen Youlong, he was horrified in his heart, but he didn't expect that the Ming army would approach Kunming in less than half a month, and the big clans in the city that were suppressed by Sun Kewang and the rich people who had embezzled their assets were immediately ready to move.

Ai Nengqi knew that he was not the opponent of Wang Jincai and Liu Wenxiu, and if he was surrounded in Kunming, no one would come to save him, so he decisively gave up Kunming and fled to Dali.

The Ming army occupied Kunming without a single soldier, and the reason why it was so easy was mainly because of the huge difference in strength between the two sides.

Different from the antipathy shown by the people of Yunnan against the Ming army, when the Ming army entered Kunming, it was warmly welcomed by the residents of the city, and the leading figures in the city flocked to meet Wang Jincai and Liu Wenxiu, bitterly denouncing Sun Kewang's criminal act of oppressing the scholars and seizing people's property, and strongly demanded that Sun Kewang be arrested and abandon the city.

Wang Jincai appeased this, and then he sat in Kunming, while Liu Wenxiu led 10,000 horses and horses, under the guidance of generals and guides, to pursue.

In terms of elite, the Ming army far surpassed Ainengqi's men and horses, and soon caught up with the Western army in the territory of Chuxiong Mansion.

Ai Nengqi could only open his position to fight with Liu Wenxiu, and the 10,000 Ming army was not afraid at all in the face of 30,000 miscellaneous soldiers.

Liu Wenxiu recruited Ai Nengqi in front of the battle, but unfortunately Ai Nengqi said, "People live a breath, it is rare to fight once, since the banner of righteousness has been raised, there is no reason to put it down easily, the eldest brother wants to fight, and the brother can only accompany him to the end!" ”

Liu Wenxiu saw that Ai Nengqi was loyal to Sun Kewang, so he didn't speak, the two sides had a big battle, although the western army had more than 30,000 people, but in addition to more than 2,000 elites, the rest were miscellaneous soldiers, how could they beat 10,000 elite Ming troops, especially the Kesheng battalion that operated the new guns and made many military exploits.

In less than half an hour of fighting, the 30,000 Western Army was defeated, and Ainengchi led 10,000 men and fled the battlefield.

The generals from the Liukou are basically very good at wandering, but Liu Wenxiu is also from the Liukou, he bit the Ainengqi all the way to pursue, but after a big defeat, the Ainengqi people are less, but they run faster.

When Liu Wenxiu was about to catch up several times, he let Ainengqi escape, and finally the Western army rushed into the territory of Donghu State, and the Ming army stopped pursuing.
