Chapter 80: The Cavalry That Suddenly Appeared
Duan Qiankun is a new force, and the formed cavalry is the nemesis of the zero marching soldiers, coupled with the collapse of the local people's morale, Duan Qiankun's cavalry is like a hot knife stabbing butter, stabbing to the end, stabbing a bloody road among the local people, and going straight to the handsome banner of Shadingzhou.
The moment Sha Dingzhou saw the Han cavalry, he knew that the natives had lost.
The Han people went around and around, laid down blindfolds, and did not hesitate to suffer casualties, but the ultimate goal was Kunming City. It's a pity that I've been blinded by hatred and face.
"Withdraw."
Sha Dingzhou immediately made a decision, turned around with his personal guards and headed towards Kunming City.
Yu Xipeng panicked, his hat fell off at some point, his hair was scattered, and he lost his old lupine scarf. He followed Sha Dingzhou and retreated to Kunming City, leaving tens of thousands of troops at a loss on the battlefield.
"Where to escape?"
Duan Qiankun was red-eyed and led the cavalry in hot pursuit.
Although it is a short Yunnan horse, nearly a thousand horses form a battle formation and roar by.
Sha Dingzhou was so frightened that his soul was scattered.
The cavalry of the Han people behind him chased closer and closer, but the city of Kunming not far away seemed to be far away in the sky, and it was impossible to reach it for a while.
Duan Qiankun caught up with Yu Xipeng, who was at the end. The spear was raised, and the thin Yu Xipeng was picked up by the spear and thrown heavily on the ground, not moving.
Seeing that the Han people were chasing urgently, Sha Dingzhou's guards gritted their teeth, led the team to turn around, and took the initiative to break the rear to cover Sha Dingzhou's escape.
The Sha Dingzhou guards who were blocked after the break were like an earthen wall in front of the torrent, and they were instantly overwhelmed by Duan Qiankun's cavalry team, and they were quickly killed.
With this delay, Sha Dingzhou saw that he was about to flee into Kunming City.
Duan Qiankun's heart was in a hurry, and the spear in his hand was thrown out, and the spear drew a beautiful parabola in mid-air, heading straight towards Sha Dingzhou's back.
Sha Dingzhou heard the exclamation of the native soldiers on the city wall, looked back, and was immediately frightened.
The spear roared down from mid-air, and Sha Dingzhou could even see the cold light on the tip of the spear.
"Poof......
The spear pierced through his body, blood splattered everywhere.
Sha Dingzhou crawled out from under the dead horse in a frightened state and staggered towards the city gate.
Duan Qiankun saw that the spear only shot Sha Dingzhou's mount, and he didn't have time to be annoyed, so he immediately slapped his horse and continued to chase.
Tang led the team to rush out of the city of Kunming, while protecting the embarrassed Shadingzhou, while shooting arrows at the Han cavalry who were chasing fiercely, and retreated back to the Great South Gate. The gates were then closed.
Seeing that his achievements had fallen short, Duan Qiankun was so angry that he waved the scimitar in his hand, turned his horse's head, and vented his anger on the panicked native soldiers on the battlefield.
………………
Zhu Shunming did not appear, and it was Zhang Pan's ghost who was flying the banner of Zhu Shunming.
As Zhu Shunming's vanguard, the ghost shadow followed Yu Xipeng's army to the city of Kunming.
With Sha Dingzhou's incessant transmission, Yu Xipeng's march was very cautious. Zhang Pan saw that the natives were invulnerable, so he had to follow all the way.
As soon as Yu Xipeng arrived in Kunming City, before entering the city, he surrounded Li Dingguo's battalion and attacked frantically.
With Ma Jiapo's lesson, Zhang Pan became much more restrained, no longer acting rashly, but lurking and looking for fighters.
It was only after Sha Dingzhou made the decision to dispatch the whole army, and seeing that Li Dingguo's camp was crumbling, Zhang Pan waved the word "Zhu" behind the Turen to play the flag, creating the illusion that the Han army was flanking in front and rear.
Zhang Pan then saw that a formed cavalry appeared in Li Dingguo's camp, and Li Dingguo was able to keep it until this time before releasing it, Zhang Pan was also impressed.
Little plums grow fast! No wonder the boss dared to let the teenage Li Dingguo take the helm alone.
But Zhang Pan was a little confused, where did Li Dingguo's cavalry get the horses?
………………
The defeat was like a mountain.
Although the number of native soldiers under Kunming was greater than that of the Han Chinese, the native soldiers who had lost their command and morale completely lost their combat effectiveness, and either fled in all directions or raised their hands to surrender.
For the first time, Changsha Wei took prisoners on the battlefield in southern Yunnan.
When Zhu Shunming's army first came out of Guiyang, more than 1,000 native troops dared to intercept Zhu Shunming's soldiers and horses on the road. It can be seen how high the morale of the locals was at that time.
In the face of the high-morale natives, Zhu Shunming's method was bloody killing. No matter how high the morale is, how can the natives who have not been trained and have backward weapons and equipment be the opponents of Zhu Shunming's carefully honed killing machine?
All the way to the west, all the way to the bloody. When Zhu Shunming crossed the Qujing Mansion, the natives were already frightened, and there was no such thing as a thousand natives daring to brush the tiger's whiskers.
On the contrary, when the natives heard that the Zhu Demon King had arrived, their souls were scattered, and they were so frightened that they fled overnight.
Zhu Shunming's goal of establishing power in Yunnan has been achieved, and more killings will only cause the local people to hate the same enemy and resist to the end.
Therefore, Zhu Shunming asked Li Dingguo to start taking prisoners under the city of Kunming. After the violence, it's time to be soft.
Not everything has to be won on the battlefield, and sometimes it is easy to get more benefits at the negotiating table.
………………
Two days later, Zhu Shunming led the 4,000th household of Yufeixing to the city of Kunming. Zhou Zhou's men and horses all stayed in Jianshui Prefecture, and the huge wealth seized was temporarily stored in the state capital.
At this time, there were only less than 10,000 native soldiers and horses in Kunming City, and it was the weakest time for Kunming City's defense.
Zhu Shunming did not attack the city of Kunming. While healing his wounded, cremating the fallen soldiers, and tidying up the camp, he made a posture of preparing to advance westward and destroy the Iron Tiger Army of Chuxiong.
The 200,000 army of Shadingzhou was shattered by Zhu Shunming in just a few months, and only the 50,000 army of Iron Tiger was still in formation. If Iron Tiger's army was also wiped out or dispersed by Zhu Shunming, Sha Dingzhou would never have a chance to turn over.
Sha Dingzhou sent someone to send a letter to Zhu Shunming, which was written by Tang Guest.
“…… After this battle, the general will definitely boost the government and the opposition. However, the literati kill people, but they are better than sword soldiers without using them. With the ability of a general, he succumbed to a guard; With a guard, the lone army went to the southwest, which shows that there is a gap in the general's court. ”
"Has the general ever heard that the cunning rabbit died, the lackeys cooked, the birds were exhausted, and the good bow was hidden? If the southwest is flat, the general is in danger. ”
"Nowadays, the court is corrupt and incompetent, there are Houjin in the north, pirates are rampant in the south, there are Japanese people in the east, there are local people in the west, and there are Han people who harm themselves. The sky will be in chaos, why don't the generals sit on elite soldiers and laugh at the wind and clouds? ”
"If there is no persecution from the officials, there will be no natives to expose the rod. Sha Tusi's move is really helpless, and the crime may be there, and it is understandable. ”
"The general's prestige resounded throughout southern Yunnan. Sha Tusi is in awe of the general, and is willing to give up the city of Kunming and retreat to Mengzi and Amizhou. Another day can be the general's Olympic aid ......"
Guest Tang is a talent! Zhu Shunming sighed.
Tang Guest lives in the southwest corner, and he actually knows the general trend of the world; From Zhu Shunming's troop posture, it can be guessed that Zhu Shunming was persecuted in the court; From the various crises of the imperial court, the Ming Dynasty is about to die; explain that the Sha Ding Chau rebellion was forced, and the crime is unforgivable and excusable; persuade Zhu Shunming to watch the world quietly and wait for the opportunity to move.
Zhu Shunming accepted the property sent by Sha Dingzhou, and really no longer attacked Kunming City, nor did he march west to attack the army of Iron Tiger. Instead, he sent troops eastward to Nanning County, Qujing Prefecture, and built military camps on a large scale, preparing for a long-term station.
