The Datong army had joined forces with Ma Shiying to encircle and suppress the Liukou in the Yinghuo Mountains, and before leaving, he also killed Zhang Xianzhong in Qizhou, and the rest of Zhang Xianzhong had become mortal enemies, and it would be a great disaster for Sun Kewang to occupy Sichuan - the Dadu Governor's Mansion knew this very well, and took advantage of the opportunity of the autumn exercise to transfer Hou Shijie's Buyi Town, Sun Shoufa's Buer Town, and Tiebiao's Bujiu Town to Hanzhong, and transferred Hechilie's Tibetan area and Shuote cavalry to the archery furnace, and prepared to send troops in advance, but because the House did not pass a resolution to send troops, food and ammunition could not be guaranteed, The army was slow to move.

In the final analysis, the House of Representatives was still reluctant to pay, and the Qin merchants headed by Sun Tingyao agreed to pay this military expenditure, but put forward the conditions - Sichuan handed over the salt of the artesian wells and Gongjing and the Yangtze River channel to them to operate, and the governor of Sichuan, Long Wenguang, bargained with the Qin merchants repeatedly, and finally reached an agreement, and these guys began to cheat again, and the matter was delayed again and again, and the House of Representatives did not pass the resolution of sending troops until the end of October. With the military budget settled, the presidential palace immediately appointed Yang Wenyue as the commander of Sichuan, Long Wenguang as the political envoy, Sun Shoufa as the commander of military affairs, and Li Guoying as the military affairs of Zanhua.

At this time, Sichuan has been a piece of erosion, Sun Kewang launched a large-scale attack along the Yangtze River in early April, defeated the Ming generals Qin Liangyu, Cao Ying and others, captured the important towns of Chongqing and Luzhou, and then waved his army north to drive directly to CD, invincible along the way. The Nanjing court also made some moves, and sent an edict from Yungui to Wang Yingxiong, appointing Wang Yingxiong to the military affairs of Chuanhu Yungui, the governor of the Ministry of War, and giving Shang Fang the sword - the court did not mention reinforcements and food salaries, but stuffed the trouble to Wang Yingxiong, who was idle at home, and obviously had no confidence in fighting for Sichuan.

The thieves hit the CD all the way, and the people of Sichuan suffered from harsh government for a long time, and when they heard the slogan of the thieves "exempt the tax for three years", they rushed to surrender, and the CD fell in early August, and a number of clans and high-ranking officials such as the king of Shu and the former governor of Sichuan, Chen Shiqi, were captured and killed.

Wang Yingxiong rushed from Datong to his hometown in Ba County, and received an edict on the way, the old guy was grateful for the trust of the imperial court, and was determined to serve the country with his body. At this time, how many officers and soldiers were there, and all parts of the country had to drive the people to make up the number, this rabble was not yet to CD, it was defeated by thieves, Wang Yingxiong was unable to return to the sky, and fled to Shunqing with the remnants of the generals Yang Zhan, Zeng Ying and others.

Sun Kewang got his wish to seize the CD, his ass was not yet hot, but unexpectedly there was a horse behind him, this guy attacked Chongqing after capturing Kuizhou under the banner of Dashun, and the thief general Ai Nengqi who stayed in eastern Sichuan was caught off guard and was beaten to the desert and fled, Chongqing was in a hurry, Sun Kewang had to temporarily let go of Wang Yingxiong and turned around to fight Mako.

Ma Ke soldiers did not dare to fight hard, found that the main force of the thief army pounced, immediately fled to Hanzhong, through Shunqing and Wang Yingxiong's remnants of the army encountered, both sides had a bad idea - Ma Ke's team is less than 10,000 people, but the old base is the Shanhaiguan border army, the combat power is definitely not bad, Wang Yingxiong has the heart to take it for his own use, and sent someone to persuade Ma Ke to obey his old man's orders anyway, the previous surrender of Li Zicheng is not to blame, Ma Ke also has the intention to expand the team, the remnant army in front of him is best to start, and in a blink of an eye, he will play the banner of the second town of the Chu army of the Datong Federation, ordered Wang Yingxiong's remnants to accept the adaptation. Wang Yingxiong was so angry that he ordered Yang Zhan and Zeng Ying to suppress the thieves, but these two treasures were not Ma Ke's opponents, and the 30,000 Sichuan army was defeated, and the 3,000 captured people were forcibly incorporated by Ma Ke.

Wang Yingxiong couldn't provoke Ma Ke, so he cheekily asked Baoning and Suiding for help, Qin Yiming and Ma Xianglin naturally wanted to help the Sichuan people and quickly raise troops to reinforce, but unexpectedly He Zhen's Hanzhong soldiers also suddenly appeared - He Zhen was trained in the Barbarian Mountain Wuxuan School for more than half a year, brainwashed and performed excellently, was awarded the rank of deputy general, and was promoted to the garrison of Hanzhong Mansion and Xing'an Zhili Prefecture. This is a mess, He Zhen and Qin Yiming, Ma Xianglin are all playing the banner of Datong, but the people of Shaanxi are facing the people of Shaanxi, the people of Sichuan are facing the people of Sichuan, He Zhen and Ma Ke are joining forces to bully the Sichuan army that is playing the banner of the Ming army, Qin Yiming, Ma Xianglin and Wang Yingxiong also joined forces to seek justice from Ma Ke, the current enemy, the Sichuan army and the Qin army are actually going to have internal strife. However, the two sides were forced to end before they could fight-Yang Wenyue led the main force of the Datong Army to arrive in time, and the Sichuan army was surrounded and disarmed by Sun Shoufa and Hou Shijie before they could react.

"The old man is a senator of the Datong Federation, you Yang Douwang dare to plot with a friendly army, aren't you afraid of impeachment in the Senate!" Wang Yingxiong waved an official document vigorously, but he was secretly scolding in his heart, you Datong sent troops earlier, which caused Lao Tzubai to serve the unfortunate court for a while, but fortunately, it was still too late, and raised his hand to point at He Zhen and Ma Ke and shouted angrily, "These two unscrupulous people have a history of surrendering and breaking into thieves, and they don't know if they secretly communicate with Sun Thief, so they won't take it down and investigate!" ”

"Wang Dazui, you are stepping on two boats with ill intentions." He Zhen and Ma Ke immediately jumped up and pointed at Wang Yingxiong and shouted.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, all family, the enemy is now, we still have to work together to exterminate the thieves." Yang Wenyue is in the presidential palace assistant government affairs, what details know, He Zhen is an example set by the president for the general, the future will be promising, Ma Ke and the president have old friends, secretly have already taken refuge in Datong, compared to Wang Yingxiong is a little disgraceful - the presidential palace did issue an official letter to invite some senior officials of the former dynasty into the Senate, He Fengsheng gladly accepted, but he Wang Dazui never expressed his position, caused trouble to the People First Party and left, and now under the banner of Daming but claims to be a federal senator, what kind of person is this, forget it, For the sake of the Sichuan villagers, I won't expose him.

Wang Yingxiong snorted and stretched out his hand to Yang Wenyue: "Since it is a family, my soldiers are also the Datong Army, you immediately release the people and give me food and ammunition." ”

"No, the Sichuan army is just a group of ordinary people with hoes and sticks, and they made mistakes when they went to the battlefield, and they must be dismissed immediately." Sun Shoufa replied coldly.

"If we don't have enough food, we can't care about you rabble." Hou Shijie also echoed.

Wang Yingxiong was about to get angry again, Yang Wenyue waved his hand at him, and said with an embarrassed face: "Boss, I can't help it, the road into Sichuan is not easy to walk, the grain and grass are still behind, the Chu army and the Sichuan army have a total of 40,000 people, how can I afford it!" In this way, I should also do something for the villagers, you help build roads and bridges, transport baggage, do a day to take care of food, and if you don't want to do it, go home by yourself. ”

Sichuan is already a piece of erosion, there may not be a way to live when you go home, you can have a bowl of rice to eat enough luck - Wang Yingxiong is very helpless to take his gang of soldiers to do chores, Datong Army suddenly added 40,000 mouths, food is not enough to eat, forced to rest on the spot and wait for Li Guoying, Tie Biao behind to send grain and grass, fortunately the thieves did not kill, wasted this great fighter in vain.

Sun Kewang is busy in the CD, the thieves are carrying hundreds of thousands of people along the way, eating is a big problem, I thought that there would be a good life after entering the CD, but I didn't expect that the official treasury was empty and there was not much food - a hard trip but no benefits, the thieves complained, Sun Kewang was anxious, "Exempt from taxes for three years" fuck it, first grab enough and then say, who dares not to kill the head immediately.

The thieves regained their nature, regardless of the poor and the rich, and the young and strong men and women were also tied to serve in the camp, and the Sichuan people could not bear it anymore, and rose up to resist under the leadership of the gentry, but immediately attracted more ferocious massacres, and the thieves were deserted everywhere and bloody. Sun Kewang has killed countless people and feels that he is not ruthless enough, his godfather Zhang Xianzhong has taught the truth of heavy punishment and Liwei, and this guy has used cannon branding and Ling Chi punishment, and he will be tortured to death if he doesn't like his eyes. Seeing that more and more property was stolen and the people around him were becoming more and more submissive, Sun Kewang was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and he also thought about being addicted to the emperor, and found a group of literati to drum up the great cause of founding the country.

On November, Sun Kewang built the "Great Western Kingdom" in CD, and established himself as the Emperor of the Great West, which was his most proud day, and then received bad news, and sent to the northern Sichuan general Liu Jinzhong with 30,000 people to join the enemy in Shunqing, the opponent was not the Ming army, but the Datong army that killed his godfather - the rival is coming, this is a bad star, Sun Kewang was so frightened that he gasped, and he couldn't hide, so he simply broke the cauldron and fought to the death, I have hundreds of thousands of troops, and I can support them to death.

Sun Kewang made up his mind and immediately ordered the slaughter of the city, and there was a bloody storm inside and outside the city - this guy is full of evil, and he knows that the Sichuan people hate him to the bone, as long as he leaves, he will rebel, so simply kill it to the end, which emperor has not been ruthless since ancient times! After killing people, Sun Kewang felt relieved, and led the Great Western Army to Shunqing with the smell of blood.

Sun Kewang was still a step too late to send troops, just when he was madly slaughtering the city, Li Guoying and Tie Biao escorted grain and grass to Shunqing, and the Datong army was replenished and immediately raised troops, and collided head-on with the Daxi army in Xichong. Datong cavalry has obvious advantages, first found the opponent, He Zhen did not hesitate to lead the Hanzhong soldiers to attack, followed by Ma Ke, Ma Xianglin also led the troops into the battle, the Great Western Army was not to be outdone, the vanguard general Ma Yuanli took the lead in leading the cavalry to counterattack, but the opposite side shot the guns, arrows were as dense as raindrops, the cavalry of the Great Western Army fell off their horses, Ma Yuanli himself was also hit by the gun, the forward troops of the Great Western Army lost their main general, and they collapsed after holding on for a long time.

Sun Kewang was taken aback by the battle report, and immediately ordered to seize the nearby Phoenix Mountain, defend and confront the enemy according to the danger, and at the same time urge the troops behind to rush to the rendezvous. The Datong army pursued the defeated soldiers and arrived at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, and found that the mountain was densely packed with the Great Western Army, and they did not dare to attack the mountain easily, so they stopped advancing and waited for orders.

Yang Wenyue and Sun Shoufa led a group of generals to the front line quickly, each raised their clairvoyance to observe for a while, and then shook their heads - the Great Western Army was too numerous, guarding the entire mountain impenetrable, and the three stone gate villages were full of guns and crossbows, blocking the road into the mountain.

"Sun Thief, nicknamed 'One Wall', is good at defending vicious battles, he wants to lure me to consume troops so that I can wait for an opportunity to counterattack, you must not be fooled." Liu Jinzhong, the general of the Great Western Army, reminded that this guy was originally Ma Shouying's person, not Sun Kewang's lineage, others were powerful in the CD, but he was sent to northern Sichuan, and he was very unlucky to meet a strong enemy in Shunqing, he couldn't beat it, he couldn't escape and couldn't escape, so he simply led his troops to surrender, Sun Kefa was not polite, and forcibly dismantled his troops as auxiliary soldiers for miscellaneous work.

Sun Shoufa nodded: "Our army has only 50,000 soldiers who can fight, and we are not good at attacking fortifications, so we may not be able to attack with a large number of enemies, so we must think of a clever plan." ”

"Old Ma, you have attacked the thief, the thief must have a grudge, you go and lure him down the mountain, and my Buyi Town will do the rest." Hou Shijie pointed at Ma Ke and said.

"I can lure the enemy, but this guy is an old thief, and he may not be fooled." Marco shook his head.

"It's not so troublesome, send someone to cut off the back road, and trap the thieves with cavalry, transfer the thousands of catties of camp artillery from all departments, and bombard the Shimen Village, and send the selected soldiers to rush when they hit the gap, we arch up little by little, see what the thieves do, my first emperor of the Qing Dynasty used this hand to capture the Daling River and Jinzhou." Ao Bai was borrowed by Sun Kefa from the Flying Tiger Battalion to train cavalry, and this time he followed Buer Town into Sichuan together, seeing that everyone was talking lively, and he also came up with ideas in the half-baked Jinbei dialect.

"What is the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty, it's just a chieftain, Aobai, which family's food are you eating?" Wang Yingxiong heard the harshness, and immediately shouted loudly.

"Even my brother called the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty his father-in-law, and your king dared to be disrespectful." Ao Bai was on fire, and grabbed Wang Yingxiong's collar.

"Aobai, don't do it, it's all your own people," Li Guoying hugged Aobai, and the generals also hurried over to pull Wang Yingxiong away.

"Okay, don't make any more trouble, I think the idea of worshipping the little general is good, so let's do it." Yang Wenyue waved his hand vigorously, and then pulled Wang Yingxiong away.

"Ma Ke, He Zhen, the two of you bypass Phoenix Mountain to cut off their back roads, Ao Bai commands the cavalry of each town to block the thieves, and the artillery and firearms are transferred to beat me hard." Sun Shoufa gave orders to the generals, this is the old rule, whether to fight the civilian officials or not has the final say, how to fight the military generals has the final say.

The next day, the cannon roared and the smoke of gunpowder was filled with gunpowder under the Phoenix Mountain - the artillery attack of the Datong army began, sixty or seventy thousand catties of camp guns were divided into three teams to bombard the three Shimen Zhai repeatedly, hundreds of array walls were also erected in front of the mountain, and the mortar cannons and fire guns hid behind and kept firing. The Great Western Army immediately returned fire with guns, but these broken copper and iron used by the Ming army were too weak, the accuracy was poor, the firing range was short and could not scare the opponent, and the old problem of easy to blow up the chamber also made its own people suffer, and the counterattack quickly became weak, and finally simply stopped and let the other side press and fight.

The taste of being beaten is not pleasant, especially the flowering bombs shot by the other party are the most frightening, a large explode, most of the farmers in the Great Western Army are coerced, these people have no armor, they are so painful that they roll on the ground, the others look frightened, they run when they hear the sound of artillery, the defense of the Great Western Army is chaotic - the situation ahead is not good, Sun Kewang is not panicked, he knows very well that the lethality of firearms is limited, and the defense is not good mainly because those ordinary people are frightened by the artillery and run around, just send more bandits to suppress it, The Great Western Army has people, and it doesn't care about killing a few more deserters.

Is the Datong army very rich, the artillery fights endlessly, if it continues like this, the stone gate village built of stone by the three mountain people may not last long - Sun Kewang listened to the sound of the cannon and felt a little irritable, he was not afraid of the Datong army attacking the mountain, but the firearms consumption was too great, and the Daxi army could not afford to fight this kind of battle.

On this day, the artillery of the Datong army sounded repeatedly, and it did not stop after nightfall, Sun Kewang did not dare to be careless, and stayed in the big tent of the Chinese army all night, and only took a nap when the day was about to dawn, and when he woke up, his own soldiers sent an emergency military report - the Datong army launched a surprise attack after a detour to the mountain, burning more than 100 grain ships on the Jialing River, Bai Wenxuan and Feng Shuangli The two generals were also entangled by the enemy and could not get out, and could not rush to Phoenix Mountain for the time being.

Bai Wenxuan and Feng Shuangli coaxed the goods, holding more than 100,000 people in their hands but losing food and grass, these two people must be disgruntled, deliberately delaying the fighter plane, and the widow can't spare them - Sun Kewang was so angry that he jumped like thunder, but he forgot that the elite of the Great Western Army was in his hands, and Bai Wenxuan and Feng Shuangli's subordinates were almost all ordinary people.

Immediately afterwards, another pro-soldier came to report that the Shimen Village in the east had been blown down, and the Datong army was rushing into the stockade - Sun Kewang couldn't hold his breath anymore, kicked over the pro-soldiers, grabbed the big knife on the table and rushed out of the big tent.

The attack on the east of Shimen Zhai was Qin Yiming, Ma Xianglin's Baoning, Suiding militia - these Sichuan soldiers were indeed good at mountain warfare, and as soon as the wall was blown down, the battalion officer Ma Hutou led 500 stone soldiers to climb the wall along the gap. The artillery of the Datong army bombarded continuously for a day and a night, the thieves were already frightened birds, they were driven off the wall after a short time, the thieves were red-eyed, and pounced on the sloppy head of the leader, the two fought for several rounds, and the thief was kicked to the ground without strength, and then the head fell to the ground. Ma Xianglin seized the fighter plane and led 2,000 militiamen to rush into the village with Ma Hu's head, and the thieves were hit hard again and had no intention of fighting, or surrendered or fled and completely collapsed, and the village was captured in one fell swoop.

After the sloppy head succeeded, he continued to attack the mountain, but the mountain road was narrow and steep, one side was facing the mountain and one side of the deep ravine, the thieves condescended to continue to shoot arrows and guns, throwing stones, and the stone sloppy soldiers were beaten back several times, and the sloppy head was almost stoned to death. Seeing this, Ma Xianglin ordered to transfer the tiger squatting artillery and infantry to cover, and the sloppy head slowed down and led people to arch upwards little by little, and after overcoming a mountain beam, he was exhausted, and the thieves took the opportunity to counterattack, but they were also repelled by the guns, and both sides could not deploy their forces on the narrow mountain road, and they could not hold each other off.

The loss of Dongshimen Village shocked Sun Kewang, the other party used ants to gnaw bones to arch up the mountain, although slow but effective, maybe the other two villages are about to be lost, although there are 100,000 horses on the mountain, but Bai Wenxuan, Feng Shuangli The two bastards can't send food, so passively fighting will definitely be a failure, can no longer hesitate, must take the initiative to attack - Sun Kewang wanted to understand the reason, and immediately led 30,000 elites out of Beishimen Village, and suddenly launched an attack on the Datong army.
