Chapter 64: Soldiers Coming to the City II

Shadingzhou rebelled, in fact, deep down in his heart, he had a deep fear of the Han court.

After Sha Dingzhou occupied Kunming, he did not play the banner of being called the king and emperor, but coerced the Han people and officials to write to the Ming court, "The sky is reversed, Dingzhou is peaceful, and it is appropriate to replace the town of Yunnan."

Sha Dingzhou just wanted to be the king of Yunnan who was recognized by the Han court, not to betray the Ming court.

"My lord, there are not many Han forwards." Tang said: "According to the report of the spies, it is Zhu Shunming's soldiers from the 3,000th household of Changshawei, known as 'ghosts', who never fight head-on and specialize in sneaky things. ”

"A thousand households, at best, more than a thousand people." Sha Dingzhou sighed: "There are more than 20,000 defenders in Kunming City, but he can't help it, so he can only watch him slaughter the nearby natives." This Zhu Shunming is really difficult. ”

"When the army returns to the division, it will be necessary to capture the Zhu Demon King alive, and Ling Chi will be in the city to relieve the hatred in his heart." Sha Dingzhou said hatefully.

………………

On August 12, Zhu Shunming's army arrived at the city of Kunming.

The Han army was not in a hurry to attack the city, but built strong camps in the east and south, a picture of a long siege and battle.

Sha Dingzhou was a little puzzled. The Zhu Demon King has an army of only 20,000 people, and if he doesn't take advantage of the small number of defenders in Kunming City to attack the city, is he confident that he can deal with the hundreds of thousands of troops that the natives continue to come to help?

There were more than 20,000 defenders in the city of Kunming, and the Han army that came to attack was only 20,000. Long Yuanqing, the local general, was angry with the arrogance of the Han army, and clamored to go out of the city to give the Han people some powerful looks.

Sha Dingzhou also wanted to know why these Han people had such confidence and dared to besiege and invade Kunming City with this point. Therefore, it was agreed that Long Yuanqing would take more than 3,000 men and horses from his headquarters out of the city to compete with the Han army.

Long Yuanqing was brave and good at fighting, and he always looked down on the cowardly and cowardly Han army.

Since following Sha Dingzhou's army, Long Yuanqing has fought against many Han Chinese troops. The Han army looks mighty, but in fact it is just a silver-like pewter spear head, which is useless.

The Han camp has not yet been completed. Seeing more than 3,000 natives going to battle, Li Dingguo smiled and instructed Sun Hejing: "Sect Leader Sun, it's up to you." ”

Marching thousands of miles and getting along with soldiers day and night, Sun Hejing, who was originally a little bookish, became no different from a swarthy soldier. He smiled and showed two rows of snow-white teeth and said, "Your soldiers won't blame the artillery for stealing their jobs, right?" ”

Looking at the thin formation discharged by the Han people, Long Yuanqing was so angry that he smoked. It's too contemptuous of people!

The team of 3,000 natives actually only discharged a formation of 500 people. The rest of the Han people are still building camps, obviously not taking Long Yuanqing's 3,000 people seriously.

"Kill, kill all the Han people."

Long Yuanqing rode on a bantam horse, waving it, and rushed to the front first.

will be a soldier's courage. Long Yuanqing's soldiers were also full of courage and guts, following closely behind Long Yuanqing, shouting and killing the Han people in the distance.

It's closer, it's closer, you can see the appearance of the Han people, and you can see the relaxed expression of the Han people.

Long Yuanqing flattened the big knife, thinking in his heart how to cut off the head of the smiling Han man in front of him.

Suddenly, a puff of white light and smoke came out in front of the Han people, and a huge thrust pushed Long Yuanqing and his horses backwards. Long Yuanqing felt that the bones in his body were crushed, and the blood in his body was squeezed and splashed everywhere.

The huge inertia made Long Yuanqing fly off the horse's back. When he was in mid-air, Long Yuanqing saw that the smile on the face of the Han man in front of him was even brighter, and the exposed teeth actually shone white in the sun.

"Boom ......"

Long Yuanqing faintly heard the sound of a huge thunder and a heavy fall of his body, and then fell into eternal darkness.

The native army was dumpled by Han artillery.

After Sun Hejing inspected the terrain, he arranged more than a dozen Franc cannons in a semicircle, like a pocket, waiting for the native army to drill into it.

Long Yuanqing, who was not convinced, really got into Sun Hejing's pocket inadvertently. After a few rounds of shelling, no more than 1,000 people were still able to stand in the 3,000-strong native ranks.

"It's time for us to go."

The 4,000th household of the Jade Flying Star detoured to the flank of the natives, and when the shelling stopped, they immediately launched an attack.

How could the natives who were dazed by the shelling have the fighting spirit? Under the violent attack of Jade Feixing, the natives had no ability to fight back at all, and it was a complete slaughter.

More than 3,000 people, in less than an hour, were killed cleanly. Sha Dingzhou, who was watching the battle at the head of the city, was frightened. The strength and tyranny of the Han people were beyond his expectations. Is this still a Han people in a state of gentleness and etiquette?

On August 22, the Han people did not know how to cut off the moat of the Panlong River in the east, and filled in a dirt road nearly ten zhang wide in the moat, and began to attack the city of Kunming.

Sha Dingzhou transferred the reserve to the east gate, ready to withstand the fierce attack of the Han people at any time.

The fierceness of this Han army made Sha Dingzhou very uneasy. Although the walls of Kunming are high and thick, who knows what unknown tricks these Han people will come up with?

Thinking that Zhang Changshou defended the county seat of Nanning in Qujing Prefecture with 50,000 people, he was actually attacked by this Han army of only 20,000 people. What if these Han people have tricks up their sleeves? The more Sha Dingzhou thought about it, the more frightened he became.

"Order, the whole city should be on guard, especially pay attention to the actions of Han officials, and prevent Han people from colluding with each other."

"Send a herald to urge Chen Changming to speed up the return of reinforcements."

"Go to Lin'an Mansion and ask Yu Xipeng of Jianshui Prefecture (Yiguo) to send reinforcements to flank the Zhu Demon King."

Sha Dingzhou issued a series of orders to strengthen the city defenses, quickly deploy reinforcements, and regarded the Han army in front of him as the biggest enemy in his life.

Surprisingly, the offensive of the Han army was not fierce.

The artillery of the Han people was aimed at the Tibetan Soldier Pavilion at the head of the city, and the artillery was fired from time to time, and the artillery fire was not dense, as if they were practicing artillery bombardment.

There are Han people armed with giant crossbows who secretly release cold arrows in the distance. The ultra-long range and accurate shooting made the native defenders terrified, and they were always afraid that a cold arrow would take their lives.

"Look at it like this, the siege of the Zhu Demon King's army is just to boost morale, so as not to let the army relax for a long time." Tang Guest stood in the city tower, watching the Han army absent-mindedly fiddle with a cold arrow and cannons before retreating, and said in a relaxed mood.

"What do the Han people want to do if they don't attack or retreat?" Sha Dingzhou was restless. When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Since the Han army in front of me crossed Guiyang City, it has stepped on bloody storms all the way, committed numerous crimes, and robbed countless money and jewelry.

"What's going on?"

Sha Dingzhou and Tang felt that something was wrong at the same time. In the distance, all the Han people were lying down, and the surroundings suddenly became very silent, and the air seemed to freeze.

"Boom ......"

The huge explosion and violent shaking knocked Sha Dingzhou, Tang Guest and others to the ground.

When they got up, they were all stunned to see what they saw.
