"Bang! Bang! ”

Two more shots.

The native soldiers on the pass were all stunned just now, so no one fled, so that Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong praised their bravery, but after being bombarded twice, these native soldiers woke up like a dream, and fled to the gate with a shout, and the wall was empty in a blink of an eye.

"You don't have to fight anymore, you can tackle the problem." Qin Jianong shouted.

"Light the shells for me." Tan Xiao kept a straight face, ignoring Qin Jianong, who was pleading.

Qin Jianong brought a lot of shells, a series of smashed to the first pass of Tiannan, under the continuous shelling, the gate that had been in disrepair for a long time finally fell to the ground, a cloud of smoke and dust, and saw that there were still twenty or thirty shells left, but there was not even a shadow of a native soldier behind the gate, Tan Xiao had to go back on his word, ordered to stop the shelling, and pushed the remaining shells and two cannons off the cliff.

"My cannon, my cannon......"

Qin Jianong's tears flowed, desperately trying to stop his baby cannon, but he could stop this side alone, he couldn't stop that, all the shells were pushed down, and there was only one of the two cannons left, Qin Jianon simply held the last baby bump on his back, and shouted loudly: "You guys just push me down together!" ”

"I really didn't see it before, you Qin Ganon is still a scoundrel!" Tan Xiao was furious: "Come on, put him down for me and beat him with thirty military sticks...... Well, it's better not to beat the military stick, starve him for three days. ”

Beat Qin Jianong with a military stick, and he had to carry him away, General Tan had no last resort, of course he couldn't let him enjoy the blessings in vain.

Three days later, the Chu army walked out of the 90,000 Mountains and entered Liping Mansion in Guizhou.

"Guizhou, we're coming!"

The 50,000 officers and men of the Chu army cheered in unison, rushed forward in great strides, conquered Wukaiwei in the first battle, conquered Ouyang Si in the second battle, conquered the Tongguwei in the third battle, and conquered the Nandong Division in the fourth battle, and announced their arrival in a series of crisp and neat victories in a high profile.

More than 100,000 people and horses of the Western Army gathered in Huguang, every day to consume a large amount of grain and grass materials, only relying on the Guangxi Lingqu this grain road will certainly not be able to meet the needs of the army, there are several other supply lines in the northern line, the most important one of them is the waterway of the Qingshui River, this waterway starts from Kaili in the southeast of Guizhou, a large number of military grain is loaded here, and then enters Yuanzhou in central Hunan through the Qingshui River, the Chu army captured Tongguwei and Nandongsi with lightning speed, and cut off this supply line in one fell swoop, Many of the grain ships docked at the Nandong Division became prisoners of the Chu army before they could figure out what was happening.

I can't eat enough food!

Take the food with the boat and take it with you!

The Chu army rested for a day in the area of Nandongsi, and sailed up the Qingshui River by boat, followed by dozens of large and small grain boats, and finally had a decent baggage army, and some of the remaining grain could not be taken away, so it was burned to the ground.

The Qingshui River is less than a thousand miles, but it is the main traffic artery in the east of Guizhou, the Chu army marched westward by boat, avoiding the Miao Ridge in the southeast of Guizhou, the endless mountains continue to sweep behind them, the Chu army soldiers sit on the boat, there is a relaxed feeling of enjoying the mountains and waters.

"Guizhou is good, the mountains and rivers are very beautiful, and it is not cold in winter."

"This is called green mountains and green waters, do you understand? The thieves here are not beaten, so let's just stay in Guizhou and stay a few more days. ”

"It's a pity that my cannon is out, I knew there was a boat to sit on, why didn't I bring those two little guys ......"

The last person to speak was Qin Jianong, who had a lot of grievances.

He is an old artilleryman, but also an old bachelor, the cannon is regarded as his own family, with deep feelings, the twelve-pounder cannon is the man in charge, the eight-pounder cannon is the mother-in-law who does not lose to the man, the six-pounder cannon is the size that has grown up, the four-pounder cannon is the half-sized man who has not yet grown in size, as for the lightest three-pounder gun, of course, it is the cute little guy, but unfortunately he was pushed off the cliff by the ruthless Tan Xiao.

Hearing the complaints of his regiment commander like Xianglin's sister-in-law, the artillery regiment brothers under him also complained, what is the matter if the artillery does not have a cannon? When he was fighting these battles in Liping before, he had been watching the excitement from the sidelines, and when he encountered the infantry and cavalry who had returned from victory, he was three points shorter first.

At the beginning of people, their nature is evil, seeing their resentful appearance, the infantry sitting on the other side of the deck is very happy, although there is no real malice, but they laugh and laugh at them, all kinds of fuel on the fire, all kinds of salt on the wound, some artillerymen can't help but ridicule each other, but it attracts more laughter and scolding, and the artillery regiment that has no artillery to fight is about to become a literary troupe that makes everyone happy and relaxed.

"Brothers in the artillery regiment, you don't have artillery now, just change your career to become an infantry, and I'll teach you two tricks when you go back, and you can kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions." An infantryman raised his spear and showed off his weapon to the artillerymen, making the artillerymen so angry that their noses were crooked, wasn't it just a tattered spear? In the past, when Lao Tzu was wide, he played with thousands of catties and thousands of catties of cannons, what do you have to be proud of with a firewood stick!

"Who said we don't have artillery?"

A chubby artilleryman angrily took off his straw sandals and counted them one by one on the soles of his feet: "Look at me, I have big bubbles, small bubbles, water bubbles, and blood bubbles...... Feet full of bubbles. ”

His self-deprecation attracted a burst of laughter, Qin Jianong wanted to cry without tears, and silently touched the blisters on his feet, his movements were gentle like touching his beloved child.

"What are you doing with this basket of things?"

On another grain boat behind, Tan Xiao leaned forward and looked forward, in order to let the soldiers relax, it was not forbidden to talk and laugh when marching by boat, but Qin Ganong's boat was too lively.

"What else can I do? He must have been saying: It's a pity that my cannon is gone, it's a pity that my cannon is gone, I knew that there was a boat so loose, why didn't I bring those two little guys. Yuan Zongdi had heard Qin Jianong's complaint dozens of times, and recited it almost word for word, causing Liu Tichun and Zhou Guodong to smile.

"If we can't turn the old nest of the Western Army upside down, we won't have the face to return to Huguang in the future." Zhou Guodong pointed to the north of the river, and he could see a city faintly by the river in the distance: "Since we have arrived at Zhenyuan Mansion, we should come to visit, even if we can't capture Zhenyuan, at least we must take Shi Bing." ”

The jurisdiction of Guizhou in the Ming Dynasty was somewhat different from that of later generations, such as the famous Zunyi of later generations, which had not yet formed a city at this time, and belonged to Sichuan, the overall shape of Guizhou was like a puppy with its head up, its face and chest facing Huguang, its front legs were Liping, its hind legs were next to Yunnan, and under the dog's belly was Guangxi, and the dog's head and dog's ass were Sichuan.

Guiyang, the provincial capital of Guizhou, is located in the west of central Guizhou, about the back waist under the dog's buttocks, Duyun and Kaili are located in the east of Guiyang, which is the front waist of the puppy, the Qingshui River hangs on the puppy's chest like a jade belt, the south bank is the continuous Miao Ling, and the north is the dog head composed of five state capitals, including Zhenyuan Mansion, Sizhou Mansion, Sinan Mansion, Shiqian Mansion and Tongren Mansion.

Zhenyuan Mansion is at the location of the dog's neck, the town is far away, 100 miles away from the Qingshui River, there is another county town named Shi Bing on the riverside, and it is also a node for the Western Army to transport military rations, with large wharves and warehouses, and 1,500 Western troops are stationed. These 1,500 Western troops are all regular troops, and if there are no major accidents, the strength is not small, at least under their deterrence, the large and small Tusi in the vicinity do not dare to spy on Shi Bing's granary.

But for the Western Expeditionary Army, this little bit of local troops of the Western Army is not enough to stuff the gaps.

Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong did not stop the ship, only Yuan Zongdi led 5,000 soldiers ashore and raided Shi Bing.

After the Western Army occupied Huguang, Guizhou became an out-and-out rear, and the defenders everywhere were a little lax, Shi Bing was no exception, although the downstream Wukaiwei, Nandongsi and other places have been occupied by the Chu army, but because the land route is difficult, and the waterway of the Qingshui River is controlled by the Chu army, so Shi Bing has not received the news, I heard that a huge fleet passed by, thinking that it was a grain ship returning from Hunan, and hurriedly vacated the wharf, ready to let this long-distance fleet dock, but the springboard just caught the shipside, The ship killed 5,000 tigers from the lake, and without saying a word, they seized the city gates, granaries, and military camps, and 1,500 defenders were completely annihilated, and only a small number of routs fled to the far side of the town.

Yuan Zongdi interrogated the prisoners, and learned that the defenders of Zhenyuan were less than two thousand, so he immediately killed them non-stop, chasing the butt of the routed soldiers and rushing into Zhenyuan City, the defenders of Zhenyuan were as lax as the defenders of Shi Bing, and they never expected that the Chu army would fall from the sky, watching the Chu army rush into the city gate with murderous spirit, and thought that it was a friendly army passing by, and I don't know why there was a conflict with people, no one came up to intercept it, and when the Chu army took the whole city, it was a prisoner.

"This battle is too painful!" Yuan Zongdi smiled and said to the general: "Now you understand, why do you want to advance thousands of miles into Guizhou?" Is it worth the hardship of climbing over 90,000 mountains? ”

"It's worth it!"

Several generals also smiled: "We are like Sun Monkey, who has already gotten into the belly of Princess Iron Fan, and we are doing it casually, so that Sun Kewang is holding his stomach and screaming." ”

According to the confessions of the captives, Sun Kewang did not ignore the defense of this area, and deployed a total of 16,700 defenders in these five prefectures, which was more than three times that of Yuan Zongdi, but they had to divide troops everywhere and garrison them everywhere, and there were only a few hundred soldiers and horses in each place, and more than two or three thousand people, all of whom were not Yuan Zongdi's opponents.

"Isn't it time to fight Shiqian Mansion next? If you take Shiqian Mansion, you will be able to get in touch with Jie Chongxi. "Opening up the connection with Sichuan from the north of Guizhou is a grand strategy set before the troops are dispatched, Jie Chongxi is the governor of Sichuan in the Longwu court, and a loyal ally of the Chuxun group, which has been operating in Sichuan miserably in recent years, and earlier occupied Chongqing, and later, under the oppression of the Western Army, has retreated to the mountainous area of southern Sichuan, which is close to Guizhou, just near Shiqian Mansion.
