The Shuixi City of this era, where its site is located, is the Qianxi County of Guizhou in later generations.

The area is a shallow hilly area, and the terrain is relatively open.

The terrain is open, which is beneficial to both sides, the side defending the city can set up troops and horses, which is convenient for defending the city, and the side besieging the city can arrange a battle, which is also conducive to the siege.

Now, the person who was ordered to guard Shuixi City was An Long, a veteran marshal under An Bangyan.

The originally small city, under the command of the handsome An Long, took advantage of this period of time to step up preparations for war, and the city wall facing the east was repaired and reinforced, and now there are 20,000 troops stationed, just waiting for the arrival of the imperial army from Guiyang.

The news that the Shuixi garrison of Guliyi was defeated by the artillery of the official army has of course also spread to Shuixi City.

The thousands of Shuixi Yi soldiers who fled from the valley were all held by An Long, and they were beheaded on the spot outside the east gate of Shuixi City.

Not only did Anlong behead them all, but he also hung their heads one by one on the head of the city, almost filling every battlement on both sides of the east gate.

His purpose was to use this drastic means to deter the 20,000 defenders of Shuixi City, and to warn them nakedly that whoever dared to escape from the battle would end up like this.

Because the news that the Great Liang King Hao Chongming was almost wiped out in the Battle of Hongtuchuan has spread to Muorg and has also spread to Shuixi City.

An Bangyan, the great elder of the four descendants of Shuixi, has sent a strict order to Shuixi City, the city is in the people, the city is lost, if someone dares to eat inside and outside like the Shaxi Luo clan, or to the Yi soldiers of the luxury family will collapse at the touch of a button, abandon the master and flee back, then no matter who it is, they will be beheaded to show the public.

An Long's entire family has been sent to Muoge Mountain City, if he can't hold Shuixi City, then he and his whole family will be dead.

An Bangyan's ruthlessness, he knows.

An Bangyan is still killing people at every turn, not to mention Shuixi now, it is already a matter of life and death.

How Yu Chongming failed, An Long didn't know, but he knew that An Bangyan's order was not wrong.

In any case, there are more than 10,000 battle-hardened Yongning Yi soldiers under the command of Hao Chongming, if they are disciplined, everyone is brave, and they will not retreat, and the battle of Hongtuchuan will never be such a tragic result.

Therefore, the military law executed by An Long in Shuixi City immediately became harsh, and the defeated soldiers who had just gone to the valley fled back, and they had to use the military law to establish their authority.

This effect is still obvious, and the Yi soldiers in each cave, who were originally loosely accustomed to it, were quickly cleaned up decently.

In the evening of the next day, when Wang Guozhen and Liu Zhaoji led their troops to the east gate of Shuixi City, An Long took his subordinate local officials and Tumu to observe at the head of the city, and the local officials under his command saw that the official army had only come with a total of more than 2,000 people, and their morale rose instantly, and they asked An Long for battle.

Wang Guozhen stationed troops outside the gate of Guli City for more than half a month, and he also had experience, and he also knew the strategy of the official army, so he was not in a hurry to attack the city, but began to camp at a distance of more than 300 steps from the east gate of Shuixi City.

Wang Guozhen and Liu Zhaoji's purpose is also very simple, that is, to block the east gate of Shuixi City with an earthen wall and wooden fence, I don't attack, it's best if you don't come out, and the two sides are safe.

After the road construction army led by Shi Yongan and Luo Ganxiang cleared and widened the post road from Guli Post to Shuixi City, it was only a matter of time before the ten general cannons were transported outside Shuixi City and Shuixi City was taken.

Therefore, from the evening of May 28 until late at night, torches were lit in an open area 300 steps away from the east gate of Shuixi City, and the entire construction site was brightly lit.

An Long saw that those officials and soldiers were camped outside the city, and they didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack, and at the same time, he was relieved, but he was also very unhappy.

Since when did you become like this, the enemy has come to the city, and you don't even have the courage to attack?

The garrison of Guli Yi was also sent by Anlong, and when the official army came to the outside of Guli Town, they were not in a hurry to attack the city, but as they saw in front of them, they first set up camp and then settled down.

At that time, after An Long got the news, he didn't know what was going on with the officers and soldiers and what they were waiting for.

Now that the valley has been lost, An Long also knows what the official army is doing.

They are waiting in the siege of the city, waiting for the post road leading to Shuixi City in the valley to be reopened, once it is repaired, the main force of the official army from Guiyang will enter the city of Shuixi, and then the cannons of the official army can be transported over to bombard Shuixi City.

Then the army and supplies of the imperial court can be transported into Shuixi in a steady stream along the post road.

It seems that this time, the imperial court has really made up its mind, and it will not withdraw its troops if it is not peaceful.

I still want to drag it out like last time, until the official army is exhausted and retreat, and then the Shuixi Yi soldiers follow the attack to defeat the official army, I'm afraid it's unlikely!

An Long, a veteran who figured out these truths, made up his mind that night that he could not let the officers and soldiers set up camp and build roads in such a step-by-step manner, while he sat in peace and did nothing.

On the morning of the next day, An Long ordered his general, Nawei Tuguan Wushu, to lead 5,000 Yimiao native soldiers in Shuixi, and suddenly left the city while the fog had not yet cleared, and launched an attack on the official army camp that had not yet been built but only had a rudimentary form.

Like Guizhou deputy general Wang Guozhen, such a traditional general, for the matter of camping, very important, everywhere, the first thing to do is to cut down trees, dig trenches, and then build watchtowers, set up camp, and then can bury pots to make food, the army rests.

But outside the east gate of Shuixi City, this familiar process did not go well.

Although the terrain around Shuixi City is open, the soil layer is very thin, and the shallow soil layer is full of hard stones, and it is almost impossible to dig a deep trench around the camp, and then build a high earth wall.

Therefore, the official army camp in the eyes of the defenders of Shuixi City presented the next morning was a bit nondescript, except for a shallow so-called "trench", it was a half-man high earthen wall, and a sparse fence was erected on top of the earthen wall, and there was not even the horse rejection that the official army camp was used to placed before.

All this, in the eyes of An Long and Wu Xu, 5,000 Shuixi Yi soldiers who are good at climbing over mountains and mountains will definitely be able to take down the camp in front of them in one go, and give the Han officers and soldiers who came to Shuixi a dismount.

However, if they knew that there were a thousand Tiance Wei new musketeers from the Great Ming Jing Division in the camp in front of them, then they would not dare to do so.

Even the camp in front of him was deliberately designed and built by Wang Guozhen, the deputy general of Guizhou, at the insistence of Liu Zhaoji, the deputy commander of Tiancewei.

When he came to Shuixi City, Xu Chengming chose his deputy Wang Guozhen as the main one between Wang Guozhen and Liu Zhaoji, but he also explained to Wang Guozhen that whenever he couldn't make up his mind, he should discuss with Liu Zhaoji, who was born as a military attache in front of the imperial court.

Although Liu Zhaoji is young, he is a military general who came out of the emperor's side, Xu Chengming and other generals are far away in Guizhou, not to mention that the emperor has never seen him, and even the Beijing division of the Ming Dynasty has never been there.

In their opinion, Liu Zhaoji, the inexplicable "deputy commander" of Tiancewei, but the royal celebrity sent by His Majesty the Emperor to the front line of Guizhou to "gild" is of course to take care of everything and discuss it.

With the explanation of Xu Chengming, the chief military officer of Guizhou, Wang Guozhen naturally did not dare to slack off, and Liu Zhaoji and his deputy Tian Cewei Youzheng Commander Mo Youjing, also because they were born in Jiangwutang and Tiancewei, so they have a great say in the current situation.

After the reconstruction of Tian Cewei, a total of 2,000 people, divided into left and right, and the preparation is peculiar, there are a total of four divisions, of which the Gong Wei Division, the Qi Bing Division is subordinate to Zuoye, commanded by Tian Cewei to make Gao Wencai command, daily not to leave the emperor's left and right, this time it is naturally impossible to come to Guizhou.

The Regular Soldier Division and the Guerrilla Division are subordinate to Youye, and this time they were all taken to the front line in Guizhou by Liu Zhaoji.

Liu Zhaoji was born in the cavalry before, and he didn't like the regular soldiers who fought in formation, on the contrary, he preferred the guerrilla team with flexible combat methods, so after becoming the deputy commander of Tiancewei, he asked for the command to concurrently serve as the commander of the guerrilla division.

And the commander of the Tiance Weizheng Military Division under his command was Mo Youjing, a graduate of the first phase of the Jiangwutang from Gansu Town.
