Chapter 68: Soldiers Coming to the City Six

Chen Changming first faced a wide trench guarded by heavy troops.

Chen Changming didn't expect that there would be a tough battle when he returned to Kunming City, and a large number of equipment was kept in Chu Xiong. Faced with the trench in front of him, Chen Changming had to order the soldiers to carry sacks, brave the arrows of the enemy on the opposite side, and deal with the stupid method of filling the ditch with manpower.

When did the Han people's archery become so sharp and tricky? In front of the unblocked trenches, the native soldiers became the best prey hunted by Han Chinese archers.

From early morning to noon, the natives rushed forward desperately, consuming the arrows of the Han people with their lives, and filling the gap in front of them with their flesh and blood.

"My lord," Gosai said anxiously, holding his arms, his face covered with blood, "such a strong attack is not the way, the brothers have suffered too many casualties." It's better to build some thick shields than to leave the soldiers uncovered. ”

Chen Changming realized that he was in a hurry and was a little out of proportion.

"Do you know what kind of army is on the other side? Who are the generals? Can the Major General be redeemed? Chen Changming failed in the first round of attacks, feeling that the enemy on the opposite side was not easy to deal with, and wondered if he could redeem his only son with money.

In Chen Changming's impression, from civil officials to military generals, there are no Han officials who don't love money.

Gosai also thinks that buying with money is a good idea. Before the Turen rebelled, their routine against Han officials was to buy them with money and intimidate them by force.

Han officials are timid and greedy, bluffing and pulling, and there is no Han official who can't be handled by the toasts.

Soon, Gosai showed a strange look on his face and reported back: "The army in front called itself the 4,000th Household of Changshawei, and said that their mission was to block any reinforcements from the west to reinforce the city of Kunming. As for the major generals, when their mission is completed, they will naturally be released. ”

Chen Changming was shocked when he heard this.

The Han sent troops to block reinforcements, apparently confident in the capture of Kunming. The city of Kunming is in danger!

Although Chen Changming could not afford Sha Dingzhou, he could not watch the fall of Kunming City. Kunming City is a symbol of power and a benchmark for the natives to obtain independent autonomy from the Yunnan government. Without this symbol, how can we gather the confidence of the native people of Yunnan? How to get the refuge of those wavering native toasts?

Kunming City can't be lost!

Chen Changming gritted his teeth, showed a resolute expression, and ordered: "Continue to attack." The general didn't believe that a small thousand households, more than a thousand people, could stop our tens of thousands of troops. ”

………………

In fact, there were more than 5,000 people on Jade Feixing's position. As the defender, there are enough of them.

Zhu Shunming's purpose is not as simple as blocking reinforcements, he wants to defeat the main force of the Yunnan natives in a battle and crush the confidence of the Yunnan natives.

Zhu Shunming marched west from Kunming in advance, and Zhou Zhou led the logistics army of Shunfeng Dart Bureau to follow closely and go to implement the second step of the westward expedition strategy.

"Why exaggerate the truth about the city of Kunming? Wouldn't it lead Chen Chang to attack us with all his life? Zhou Zhou was puzzled.

Yu Feixing said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, when you go darts, you naturally want to get as far away from the enemy as possible. We are here to block it, but we want the enemy to take the initiative to move up. The more anxious he is, the easier it will be for us to bleed him. When the blood is drained, no matter how big the prey is, it will have to fall with a bang, and when the time comes, we will reap the spoils carefully......"

Sure enough, like enraged beasts, the natives attacked Jade Feixing's blocking position again.

The natives set up a simple shield as high as one man, and rushed forward with sacks of earth on their backs. The improvised wooden shield, which had not been skinned, was unsightly, but it effectively blocked the shots of the Han people's sharp arrows.

"These natives still have two more hits." Yu Feixing muttered to himself, "It seems that the first line of defense is going to be lost today. ”

"Archers, beware, don't shoot in waves. Shoot at the enemy's ankles, arms, and other parts that are exposed outside the shield. ”

The Han people's arrow rain suddenly became sparse and sparse, but it was extremely tricky and vicious.

Zhou Zhou held the latest crossbow arrow, held his breath, and aimed carefully.

"Whoosh ......", right on the target.

The natives who raised the shield had severe pain in their ankles, and the shield in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, hitting the soles of his own feet, and it was even more painful to grab the ground, and the shield fell to the ground with a bang, revealing several natives carrying sacks behind the shield.

"Whoosh ......"

The arrows were like poisonous snakes, and they shot at the few native soldiers who had lost their shield protection in an instant.

"How? We're not bad, right? Zhou Zhou sang proudly: "Think back then, our old Zhou also killed countless enemies, think back then, our old Zhou also fought thousands of miles ......"

"The brothers who didn't die back then are all out of the way now...... Yu Feixing sighed.

Most of the middle and high-ranking officers in Zhu Shunming's army were veterans who followed him from southwest Shaanxi. There are twenty-four families at the time of the Xixiang uprising, and there are soldiers of the old nine teams who have experienced the bloody offensive and defensive battles of Hancheng.

Most of the brothers who arrived in Huguang alive now occupy middle and high-level positions in the army. Even the wounded and disabled brothers were placed in the yamen of the non-front-line combat department.

Zhu Shunming's power was extremely inflated, and these old brothers all rose with the tide and became the most powerful faction in Zhu Shunming's faction.

"I heard that Wang Xing's horse farm has sweaty horses from Dashi, have you ever seen it?"

While shooting, the two chatted.

"It's not a bloody horse, it's an Abema horse." Yu Feixing said proudly: "Boss Zhu promised that as long as he makes a great contribution this time, he will reward an Abel horse, hehe......"

"What a broken name, don't call a good sweat and blood, you want to call an old man's name......" Zhou Zhou responded sourly.

Of course, the best horse is used in the army, and he is definitely not the head of the dart game. Maybe he shouldn't have fallen into Boss Zhu's pit in the first place.

"No, let's go to Boss Zhu too, this old man also needs the Shunfeng Dart Bureau." Zhou Zhou thought secretly.

………………

The natives attacked at any cost, and the sacks filled the trenches with the flesh and blood of the natives at the same time, and finally some natives crossed the trenches and engaged the Han soldiers in close combat.

A few spears were stabbed, and the brave native soldier did not have time to show his bravery before he became the filler of the trench.

It was dark, and Chen Changming had to order the troops to be withdrawn.

After a day of fierce fighting, the natives actually killed and wounded more than 3,000 people, but they did not even take down a single trench. Chen Changming was so angry that he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"Why is the Han army on the other side so difficult?"

The technical and tactical level of this Han army was much higher than Chen Changming expected. Well-fortified, accurate shooting, methodical defense, ruthless attack...... All show the extraordinaryness of the Han army opposite.

"Changsha Wei, Zhu Shunming, who are the sacred? A guard post is commanded by an envoy, and there is such a strong army? If he becomes a general soldier or general one day, won't the world let him run rampant? Chen Changming sighed, lamenting the unfairness of fate.

Just as he was about to lie down in his clothes, there was a sudden loud noise outside the tent.

"Why is it so noisy?"

"My lord, the Han people have launched a counterattack and have entered our camp."

Chen Changming couldn't hold back a mouthful of old blood anymore and gushed out.

A thousand-household office actually dared to take the initiative to attack the army camp of tens of thousands of people. I really don't know what the head of the Han officer on the other side is in?

When the sky is dark, aren't the Han people afraid of accidental injury? How can an army go to war at night?
