In Zhen'an Mansion, Guangxi, the city was covered with corpses, and the ground was littered with shields, broken knives, long ladders, and huge siege equipment, paralyzed under the city walls, igniting a raging fire.

A golden sound sounded, and the Western Army and Tusi soldiers and horses outside the city retreated like a tide, and the shouting and killing sound that went straight to the sky slowly subsided.

Sun Kewang pulled the reins of his horse, glanced back at the city, and returned to the camp with some stupidity.

On the city wall, the half-burned Ming flag was hunting in the wind, and the Ming soldiers with bows and arrows and birds in their faces full of gunpowder smoke saw the retreat of the Western Army, and suddenly cheered, "The thieves have retreated!" The thieves are back! ”

On the city wall, a general wearing mountain pattern armor, wearing a phoenix-winged helmet, and a red cloak tied behind him, walked to the battlements, exposed half of his body, and looked at the western army with a melancholy face, looking at the Western army who was dragging weapons and retreating, but his face was not happy, but turned his head and shouted: "Send a fast horse, and then go to Fuyuan to ask for help." ”

"No!" A thousand households hugged their fists, and then turned around and rubbed down the city.

The general of the Ming army is Jiao Lian, who quelled the rebellion of King Jingjiang in history, supported Yongli, and was the general of the Southern Ming Dynasty, who once defeated Li Chengdong's invasion of Guilin, and was later killed by the traitor Chen Bangfu.

At this time, he was the deputy general of Guangxi in the Ming Dynasty, and was controlled by the governor Qu Shiyun, and after the western army rushed from Sichuan into Yunnan and Guizhou, the Ming Dynasty let Ding Kuichu, the governor of Guangxi, Qu Shiyun, the governor of Guangxi, and Yang Wenyue, the governor of Guangdong, who was reactivated, organize soldiers and horses to surround Sun Kewang, and ensure that the two Guangxi are not lost.

Sun Kewang took the initiative to move from southern Sichuan to Yungui, the soldiers and horses of the western army plus their families, there were more than 200,000 people, and the land of Yungui, the registered population, the total number of people was only 2 million, and those Tusi in the deep mountains and forests could not be taxed, and 2 million people raised 200,000 people, and the pressure was obviously very huge.

Although Sun Kewang exchanged copper and tea for a lot of grain from the Western Wei, he still could not meet the consumption of the Western army.

If it was Zhang Xianzhong, if he didn't have enough to eat, he would definitely loot Yungui and then continue to wander, but Sun Kewang resumed production in Yungui and used it as a foundation to operate.

He did not plunder in Yungui, but at the beginning of entering Yunnan, he killed a lot of landlords and Tusi, and after defeating Shadingzhou and stabilizing the situation, he immediately ended the killing and resumed production, and then summoned Tusi and killed in Guangxi, plundering population and resources to enrich Yungui.

Since the beginning of this year, the Western Army has begun to encroach on Guangxi, successively capturing Lintian, Baise, Tianyang and other counties.

Sun Kewang was preparing to capture Zhen'an Mansion, then capture Taiping Mansion to the sea, and finally enter Guangdong.

At this time, the Western Army had been besieging Zhen'an for half a month, Jiao Lian watched the Western Army retreat to the barracks, turned his head to look at the messy city wall, and immediately pressed the war knife in one hand, and ordered loudly: "Clean up the corpses, replenish the equipment, and report the casualties to the general!" ”

Four miles outside the city of Zhen'an, the military tents are spread all over the field, 30,000 soldiers of the western army, more than 10,000 native soldiers of Yunnan, set up a company camp.

In September, the weather is gradually cooler in the north in autumn, but in Guangzhou, the climate is still hot.

Last year, the Western Army was reduced by nearly 30% of its personnel under such a scorching heat and the miasma in the southwest, but this year, the situation is much better, and the soldiers who have survived have basically gradually adapted to the hot and humid climate.

At this time, the western army retreated to the camp, the soldiers entered the camp gate, and rested in the shade, while Sun Kewang returned to the tent.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Ai Nengqi greeted him, "King, the news sent from Kunming is the Western Wei State Book sent by Niu Jinxing, which is written by the King of Wei himself!" ”

"Gao Yihuan's national letter?" Sun Kewang frowned slightly, took it and tore open the wax seal, took it out and watched, his face immediately showed anger, "Gao Yihuan really regards this king as his subordinate, and regards my Daxi as his vassal." It is really unreasonable to order this king not to attack the Ming Dynasty and let this king go to fight Guangnan Fanbang! ”

Sun Kewang crumpled the national letter, and was still angry, gritted his teeth and said: "What this king wants is the rich Liangguang, even if he is defeated and killed, he will not leave China and go to the wilderness in the south!" ”

Escaping to Yunnan is already a remote border place, Sun Kewang was already very angry in his heart, and now Gao Yihuan asked him to go further south, not to deceive people too much.

Seeing this, Ai Nengqi was worried: "King, a large part of our grain and grass is supplied by the Western Wei, if the Western Wei cut off the supply, we will immediately have a famine!" Now that the army has besieged Zhen'an for a month, it has not been defeated, Qu Shiyun has transferred Zhao Yinxuan and Hu Yiqing to reinforce Zhen'an, and the king directly rejected the Western Wei, I am afraid the situation will not be good! ”

Sun Kewang waved his hand, "Xi'an is thousands of miles away from Guangxi, even Sichuan is thousands of miles away, this king will ignore him first, and wait until Zhen'an and Taiping are laid!" ”

Saying that, Sun Kewang lifted the curtain of the tent, got into the tent, and just took off his helmet and hung it on the shelf, Feng Shuangli came in with the curtain, and said in a little panic: "King, Zhao Yinxuan broke through the barrier and rushed into Zhen'an." ”

"What?" Sun Kewang was furious in an instant, "How can you let the Ming army rush into the city, wouldn't it be in vain for this king to besiege for many days!" ”

Feng Shuangli said: "The people who came were the elite of the Ming army, all of them were the men and horses who often fought with Tusi in Liangguang, their combat strength was not weak, and there were people and horses coming behind, it seems that Yang Wenyue, the governor of Guangdong, has also arrived." ”

"Yang Wenyue?" Sun Kewang took a breath, "He's not dead yet!" ”

……

The next morning, just after dawn, the guards of Zhen'an Mansion looked at the city, and the tents scattered four miles away had disappeared.

The soldier was slightly stunned, rubbed his eyes and looked again, the Western Army had already pulled out the camp and left, and the soldier suddenly pushed the soldier next to him, and exclaimed: "Look, the thieves have withdrawn!" ”

Not long after, Jiao Lian and Zhao Yinxuan climbed the city wall and observed the outside of the city, but there was no trace of the Western Army.

Jiao Lian's face was overjoyed, "Quick, let the scouts go out of the city to investigate!" ”

Zhao Yinxuan instructed: "Chess and card officer, quickly inform the Fuyuan!" ”

The city was fast in all directions, and after a while, the scouts reported that the western army was indeed retreating, and the defenders of the city immediately let out a cheer.

……

End of September, Vietnam, Cao Binh City.

Vietnam is known as the little China of Tiannan, and now the situation is similar to that of the Central Plains, and it is also a separation of three countries.

The strongest of these was the Lê dynasty, which occupied Thang Long, then the Nguyen regime, which occupied southern Vietnam, and finally the Mo dynasty of Cao Binh.

At this time, on Gaoping City, the corpses of Mo Dynasty soldiers were covered, and the gate of Gaoping City was opened by earthen cannons, and groups of prisoners were pressed out by the Western army.

Sun Kewang was wearing armor, riding a horse and standing by the city gate, and saw the western sergeants carrying out carts of treasures and bags of rice grain, and his face smiled, "Haha~ I didn't expect this wild place to be so rich!" ”
