Chapter 590: The Promise of Sealing the Frontier
The arrival of the two troops led by Hou Liangzhu and Lin Zhaoding changed the situation of the entire battlefield outside the Datun field in an instant.
Zhu Xieyuan, Wu Zhiwang, Qin Liangyu and others experienced the feeling of ice and fire in a short period of time.
The situation, which was already in the hands of victory, suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse due to the arrival of Ann Alun and A's subordinates, and it was on the verge of collapse.
Just when these people were in shock, Hou Liangzhu and Lin Zhaoding's subordinates followed, and the battlefield outside Datun turned the corner in an instant, once again laying the foundation for victory.
After attacking the enemy camp, Qin Gongming, Peng Chaozhu, Luo Longzuo and others, who were in the center of the battlefield, were leading their subordinates to desperately pursue and kill the Datun Yi soldiers in the enemy camp, and they did not notice the changes outside for a while.
It wasn't until the muskets of all the soldiers of Tiance Wei Youye rang out, and then the roar of the general's cannon came, that Qin Gongming suddenly noticed the changes outside the camp, and he almost fainted in fright.
If he attacked the enemy camp, but caused Qin Liangyu, who was not heavily guarded, and even the commander Zhu Xieyuan and others to fall into the formation of enemy reinforcements, whether they were captured or killed, it was a responsibility that Qin Gongming could not bear.
However, just as he was about to gather the stone pillar and white pole soldiers under his command, and was about to drink and order the officers and soldiers under his command to return to the division to save the commander's formation, the crowd of Yi soldiers outside the camp turned around and rushed towards the rear of the large array of the white pole soldiers of the self-army.
"There is an enemy behind you! The Stone Pillar Army turned around and rushed back! ”
As Qin Gongming's panicked shouting came out, the large array of stone pillar white pole soldiers, which had already been a little scattered, soon had a condensation from Qin Gongming's side.
There was a clatter of clash of clothes and armor, and the white-pole soldiers completed their assembly and turned around, and a piece of white-pole guns stood tall against the swarming crowd.
The Yi soldiers, who had managed to dodge the muskets and the cannons in the front of the black crowd, had no time to stop their feet, and rushed on the long and dense spear spurs one by one, and were immediately pierced.
And the crowd of people rushing behind them, like waves meeting a reef, instantly split in two, diverging towards the two sides of the stone pillar white pole soldiers.
The Baojing Peng soldiers and Shaxi Luo Yi soldiers, who were still fighting with the Yi soldiers under Wu Azhan and Zimo in the enemy camp, were caught off guard and were immediately scattered, and many wounded soldiers who had no time to dodge were knocked down and trampled to death at the foot of the crowd.
Peng Chaozhu and Luo Longzuo quickly understood after a short period of confusion.
Although this crowd can't be stopped, it doesn't have to be blocked, because as long as you don't stand in their way, they don't seem to have time to care about anything else, because there seems to be something more terrible behind them that drives them to rush forward.
Seeing this clearly, Peng Chaozhu and Luo Longzuo immediately ordered their subordinates to open the way and let the crowd pass through the camp.
Peng Chaozhu and Luo Longzuo knew the strength of the Shizhu White Pole Formation, so after entering the enemy camp, they always led their guards to follow the vicinity of the Stone Pillar Formation.
And the crowd that suddenly rushed from behind the army did not dare to hit the spear formation of the stone pillar and white pole soldiers head-on, but bypassed this hard "reef" and rushed towards the direction of the big tunchang from both sides.
Seeing this black crowd surging in and out, Peng Chaozhu, Luo Longzuo and others, who were almost scared half to death just now, suddenly felt that this group of foreign "reinforcements" did not seem to have reinforcements at all, but more like a frightened and miserable dog that was chased and beaten!
Soon, they verified their claims.
Because the officers and soldiers under the command of Hou Liangzhu and Lin Zhaoding appeared on the horizon not far away, and the cheers of the commanders of the officers and soldiers guarding the officers and soldiers of the artillery array outside the camp also made them firm their opinions.
Therefore, without waiting for Hou Liangzhu and Lin Zhaoding's officers and troops to rush into the enemy camp, Peng Chaozhu and Luo Longzuo each led their troops and pursued after the black crowd that suddenly passed through the camp.
The tens of thousands of Yi soldiers led by Wu Azhan and Zimo in the Yi barracks outside Datun Field had already been rushed at this time, and they had completely lost the courage to stick to the camp.
Zimo didn't know when he had died in the melee, and the remaining general, Wu Azhan, saw that the camp here was already in such a situation that it could not be defended, so he had to immediately lead the only hundreds of guards under his command, and followed An Alun and Aqi's men and horses all the way to Datunchang.
At this time, it was late, the night was about to fall, the sky was already dark, and the Datun Tusi Manor on the mountain not far away had also been lit with sporadic lights.
By the time it was completely dark, Zhu Xieyuan, Wu Zhiwang, Qin Liangyu and others had already moved to the simple camp that the Yi soldiers under An Bangyan had held before.
In Zhu Xieyuan's new Chinese army tent, Hou Liangzhu and Lin Zhaoding, the two chief military officers, as well as Luo Ganxiang, Mo Keji, Wei Ang and other generals who had just arrived, gathered in the tent to talk together with Xu Chengming, Qin Gongming and others.
A middle-aged man with a pale and bookish complexion, like a civil official and more than a military general, said: "Lord of the Ministry, now An Bangyan is angry and resentful, at the end of the road, there is no ladder to the sky, there is no way to escape, in a certain opinion, my army can surround it, wait until its food is exhausted, and it can go down without a fight."
"Besides, the Yunnan soldiers fought hard repeatedly, and suffered heavy casualties, and this time they went north to pursue the enemy of Bijie for 200 miles, and the soldiers were exhausted, if they had to rest, they might not be able to go into battle in the near future! Even if you force them to fight, I'm afraid it won't be as adults want! Please forgive the hardships of the soldiers! ”
The person who said these words was Lin Zhaoding, the chief military officer of Yunnan.
And the reason why he said this was because Xu Chengming, the chief military officer of Guizhou, suggested that Zhu Xieyuan order the army to launch a strong attack on the Datun Tusi Manor where An Bangyan and others were entrenched early the next morning, and take advantage of the enemy's new defeat and the confusion of the army, and attack the mountain at the cost of casualties.
Xu Chengming's opinions were strongly endorsed by Wu Zhiwang, Qin Liangyu, Luo Ganxiang and others.
After all, now An Bangyan has been newly defeated, and the captives captured from the melee in the evening have also obtained a major news, An Bangyan not only killed the luxury society Hui luxury Chonghui and other luxury family members in Muog Mountain City, but now he has also made a Zen concession, and then killed the owner of the land west of the water.
As the saying goes, you can live if you do evil in heaven, but you can't live if you do it yourself, and An Bangyan is doing this to bring about his own destruction!
However, among the many echoing voices, Lin Zhaoding, the chief military officer of Yunnan, and Hou Liangzhu, the chief military officer of Sichuan, did not say a word and were silent.
Sure enough, after everyone finished speaking, Lin Zhaoding, the chief military officer of Yunnan, came out and said this.
Since the Dian soldiers entered the war this time, they first harvested the benefits, leveled them, and then took Wusa and Wumeng, and then joined forces with the Sichuan army, and captured Zhenxiong and Bijie, fought hard repeatedly, and suffered a lot of losses.
Therefore, after listening to him, Zhu Xieyuan and Wu Zhiwang also nodded their heads to express their approval of his words.
At this time, I saw a strong black man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a rough face, and about fifty years old, and said in a deep voice:
"An Bangyan left Mu Oge and fled to Datunchang, which is already a dead end! Now that he dares to risk the disapproval of the world, he frantically kills the Hao clan first, and then kills Anwei, and proclaims himself the king of Luodian, then not only will he An Bangyan die, but there is no need to stay in the land of the Shuixian clan!
"Hou heard that the lord of the ministry is in addition to the Shuidong Song family, and set up Kaizhou in the twelve horse heads, this move can be imitated!
"Hou led the soldiers of the Sichuan Army under his command, fought hard and returned to Xuyong, Linzhou, Zhenxiong, and Bijie, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, so why did they come?
"For the imperial court to collect water in the west, for Your Majesty's peace and luxury, you will do what you want, but you have to seal an inch of land, in order to keep your descendants, and you also wish!
"If the lord of the ministry can play the imperial court and ask for the regulations on the sealing of the land and the land in the southwest, the soldiers of the ministry will be greatly encouraged!
"In this way, although the soldiers of the various departments are extremely tired, but with this reward of granting land to the field, the morale of the army will be greatly boosted, so Hou is willing to make a military order, and within three days, he will take the head of An Bangyan to dedicate himself!"
The person who said this was the Sichuan chief soldier Hou Liangzhu.
After Hou Liangzhu's words were finished, Lin Zhaoding and the others were all in front of them, including Xu Chengming, Luo Ganxiang and other generals who had been following Zhu Xieyuan, and they were all moved in their hearts.
Of course, it is true that the mountains and forests in the west of the water are high, and the smoke and rain are wild, but there are many mountains and rivers in the river valleys, and there are not a few arable lands along the banks of the river in the river valleys.
Even if there is a piece of high mountains and dense forests that cannot be cultivated, if a piece is given to oneself, it can be regarded as a piece of land that can be passed on to future generations!
If future generations are not angry, at least there will be a piece of mountain forest land as the last support.
The land and mountains of Shuixi are not very attractive to foreign Tusi leaders like Qin Liangyu, Peng Chaozhu, Mo Keji, and Wei Ang, after all, they are still a little far away from the ground in Shuixi, and they are a little out of reach.
But for local households in Guizhou like Xu Chengming and his subordinates, the land and mountains and forests in Shuixi are close at hand, and of course they all want them.
Especially Luo Ganxiang, who has lost his homeland, is especially eager for a piece of land that can be rewarded by the imperial court, so that he can come and settle the soldiers who have been fighting with him in the north and south for many years, and the more they fight, the fewer and fewer they are.
At this time, the generals heard Hou Liangzhu, the chief military officer of Sichuan, say his wishes, and they all looked at Zhu Xieyuan with blazing eyes, and soon starting with Lin Zhaoding and Xu Chengming, the generals knelt down one after another and said:
"I heard that His Majesty has granted the ministry lord full power to pacify Shuixi, and after the war, the meritorious deeds and rewards will be decided by the lord in one word! Today, if you get a promise from your lord, you will also be willing to make a military order! Within three days, An Bangyan will be killed in retaliation! ”
Seeing that the generals in the tent knelt down on one knee one by one, hoping to be able to seal the land after pacifying Shuixi, Zhu Xieyuan was silent for a long time, and after thinking about it, he finally said:
"Since all the soldiers want to do this, the ministry is naturally happy to see it! Within three days, if the soldiers can kill An Bangyan and extinguish the Shuixi Rebellion, three days later, the headquarters will write to His Majesty the Emperor to tear the soil and grant land to the soldiers! ”
