Chapter 533: One Shot

When Liu Qiao led his army to Guiyang City, he found that the gate of Guiyang City was closed.

"Hehe, it seems that the An clan doesn't welcome us into the city." Liu Qiao sneered.

A staff officer said, "Although the strength of the An clan has declined after the Lu'an Rebellion, it is still the No. 1 Tusi in Guizhou. There are 48 divisions under the jurisdiction of the An family, and each division has thousands of sharp soldiers. ”

The local officials in the southwest have military titles such as Xuanfu Division, Xuanfu Division, Recruitment Division, Pacification Division and Chief Officials. In the past, there were several propaganda and consolation divisions in Guizhou, but now there is only one Shuixi propaganda and consolation division. There are now 76 chief lawsuits in the whole of Guizhou, and 48 are under the jurisdiction of the Shuixian family.

Those with more than 400 households will have a long lawsuit, and those with less than 400 households will have a barbarian lawsuit.

There are at least 400 households in a long lawsuit, so it is possible to say that there are thousands of sharp soldiers in each division. There are forty-eight chief lawsuits in Shuixi, and there are 40,000 or 50,000 people under his command, but it is estimated that there are 10,000 native soldiers.

"Even if An's has 50,000 native soldiers, he thinks he has the courage and self-confidence to refuse the city?"

And Liu Qiao didn't believe that Shui'an had 50,000 native soldiers at all, and it was true that An's was the largest Tusi in Guizhou, but after more than ten years of fighting, the An'an family was deeply involved, although the imperial court was unable to uproot An's like Banzhou Yang's in the end, but their strength was the same as heavy losses.

Tusi is still a relatively traditional tribal system, and the local soldiers are only equivalent to the militia. Although the native soldiers in the southwest are fierce, after all, they are only temporarily recruited militias, and how can they compare with the professional standing army of the Han army, not to mention that the Han army has the advantage of firearms, and the Han army is also well-equipped and full of grain and grass, especially Liu Qiao is now under the city of Guiyang.

And Liu Qiao knows very well that the toasts in Guizhou are not monolithic.

If it weren't for the infighting between Sinan Xuanfu Tian Zongding and Sizhou Xuanfu Si Tian Chen, Emperor Yongle used the settlement of the Ertian dispute as an excuse. After sending troops to crusade and calming down, the Tusi jurisdiction of the Ertian clan was divided into eight prefectures and four prefectures, and the Guizhou Political Envoy was set up, which led to the formal establishment of Guizhou Province.

Later, after the rebellion of Yang Yinglong in Banzhou, after the imperial court was pacified. It can be said that compared with the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the power of Guizhou Tusi is already much worse than before.

"Two Guang Cen Huang, Si Bo Tian Yang"

The staff officer said next to him, in the early years, there was a toast ranking in the southwest, the four major toasts in the southwest, and the two Guang were the worlds with the surnames Cen and Huang. The Sizhou Sinan in eastern Qiandong and Banzhou in northern Qianbei are the territories of the Tian family and the Yang family respectively.

Of the four major toasts in the world, Guizhou accounts for two.

But now, both the Tian family and the Yang family have long become yesterday's yellow flowers, and the Tian family fought among themselves in Yongle, and Yongle took the opportunity to calm down and change the land. The Yang clan of Banju also rebelled during the Wanli period, and after being pacified, they changed their land and changed their streams.

Although Yang Yinglong also claimed to be the son of the Half Dynasty back then. An and others also regarded themselves as the emperor of the soil. But in Liu Qiao's view, the decline of these toasts cannot be changed.

The same is the Sichuan luxury clan of the Yi nationality. Married to the Shuixian clan for generations, the luxury family had the heart of reviving the Yi nationality, but in the end, it was just that the luxury family was wiped out, and even the Shuixian clan was implicated in the strength of the family.

Back then, Tian's, Yang's, Luxury's, Song's and other big toasts were all leveled, and now the An's who is greatly injured still wants to have any ideas? If you really have an idea, then you are as tough as Shadingzhou in Yunnan.

After the founding of the Han Dynasty. An's is not attached to the table, and now that the Han army is coming, you don't stop it, but now you refuse to open the door to greet it, this Liu Liu Qiao looks down on An's more and more.

If you want to reverse. You should prepare in advance, and if you dare not fight back, you will honestly open the city to meet you.

Now the Han army Chen soldiers are under the city of Guiyang, but you don't greet them, and you close the city gate, which counts a few meanings.

"It seems that Your Majesty expected it right, these toasts are really frogs at the bottom of a group of wells, and they don't know how thick the sky is."

"Governor, what now?"

Liu Qiao's face was calm, "It's An Jia's own choice, you can't blame us." It just so happened that I was short of a chicken, so I gave the order to go down, set up the cannon, and shout to the city, and open the city gate within one moment, otherwise we will open the city gate with cannons. ”

"Really bang?"

"Not real bomb or fake bomb? Anyway, we are here to settle these southwestern Yi this time, since they toast and don't eat, then we will punish the wine. Take Guiyang, kill the chicken of Shuixian first, and the other little toasts will naturally be honest. If they're not obedient, I don't mind going all the way. ”

After the Tian, Yang, and luxury families fell, the largest toast in the southwest is now Shui's Anjia.

Especially in Guizhou, An's strength is almost half of that of Guizhou.

With one order, the artillerymen immediately began to push the gun carriage forward. At this time, it was not the entire 60,000 army that arrived under Guiyang City. There are only about half of the men, and the heavy artillery troops are all behind, but even so, with 30,000 horses in hand, Liu Qiao is already in the chest.

Besides, it was only the heavy artillery troops that did not arrive, the field artillery battalion still followed, and the cavalry artillery, mountain grenades and other light artillery were also quite numerous, and Liu Qiao really had no pressure to deal with a group of native soldiers in Guiyang City.

Although the city gate is closed, there are also many soldiers on the city, and they have long been closely watching the Han army under the city.

When they saw that the Han army didn't say a word and directly began to push out the cannon, they were really a little scared. Today's Shui'an clan is no more than a few years ago, with the family of big toast being swept away, especially after the Lu'an Rebellion a few years ago, the power of the An family is not as good as before.

"Hurry up and report to Tho Mu, saying that the Han people have pushed the cannon up, and it looks like they want to do it."

A Yi native soldier hurriedly trotted into the city.

After a while, the boy ran back out of breath.

"What did Tho Mu say?"

The kid replied, "Tho Mu scolded me, saying that I shouldn't bother him with this little thing, and that the Han army was just making a show and didn't dare to really fire the cannon." Even if you really fire a gun, it doesn't matter, and it won't be good if you shoot one or two shots. ”

"That's it?" The head of the city guard said in surprise.

"Tho Mu said to dry those Han soldiers first, and then send someone to send them a hundred stones of grain and grass tomorrow, even if they are sent."

"But the Han army doesn't look like it's pretending, you see so many cannons." The guards were in a hurry.

"Anyway, Tho Mu said so, he said that the Han army must not be allowed to enter the city, otherwise. The Han army is definitely going to rob. ”

"What about those Han officials in the city, didn't they speak?"

The kid laughed, "Don't forget, the Han officials in the city are all officials of the Ming Dynasty, but the Han people outside are soldiers of the Han Dynasty." They are more reluctant to let the Han army into the city than we are in Tho Mu. ”

Under the city, a staff officer rode to the city and shouted to the city. An ultimatum was given.

But no one in the city paid any attention.

"Report, a quarter of an hour is up."

"How's the cannon ready?"

"The artillery is ready, the shells are loaded, and they are ready to fire."

Liu Qiao nodded, and his face gradually sank. The ultimatum time has come, but no one in the city pays attention to it, which in Liu Qiao's view, An is not only slapping him in the face, but also slapping the face of the Han Dynasty.

"I declare. The Shuixian clan has rebelled. ”

"Use the cannon to blast open the city gates for me, kill into the city, and capture the position!"

The generals returned to their troops and began to move their troops, and soon the troops were quickly ready for the attack.

As the trumpets sounded, the war drums thundered.

"Fire!"

Dozens of cannons that had been pushed in front of the city gate roared one after another, and large iron balls burst out one after another.

City. An Wei was lying in the gazebo, listening to the music and watching the beauty dance. While sipping the chilled sour plum soup, it is very pleasant. Suddenly, there was a muffled thunderclap.

"It's thunder!"

"It doesn't look like it's going to rain."

"Summer thunderstorms are like this, just like a baby's face, they will change." A local official said.

At this time, an old man frowned.

"No, it's not thunder, it sounds like a cannon. But if it's the sound of cannons, how many cannons are there, and how big are they? "This old man once participated in the Pingyang Yinglong Rebellion, and later participated in the Lu'an Rebellion, and finally was pardoned. He is a person with more experience in battle formations in the Shuixian clan.

An's hand holding the sour plum soup bowl stopped suddenly.

His face changed.

He thought of the report from his subordinates just now, saying that the Han army outside the city had given an ultimatum and would bombard the city gate if it did not open for a quarter of an hour.

"It's not going to really shoot."

Because of his young age, after the rebellion, the imperial court did not pursue his crimes, but continued to let him lead the Yi people in Shuixi.

As the largest Tusi in Guizhou today, it has its own place in the world, manages its people, inherits its position, and regulates its soldiers.

"Oh no, no, the Han army has come in."

A Yi native soldier stumbled in.

"Tho Mu, it's not good, the Han army opened the city gate with artillery and came in!"

"What?" The soup bowl in Anwei's hand fell to the ground all of a sudden, choking, and fell into countless pieces.

The old man also stood up in shock, with a shocked expression, "The Han people have already come in, how is this possible?" ”

Guiyang is a big city, when the rebellion of Lu'an, the rebel army besieged it for more than half a year before it was taken, or because of the lack of food in the city. And now, from hearing the cannon to now, how often has it been now?

"It really came in, the Han army's artillery was extremely fierce and accurate, and with only one round of artillery, our city gate was blasted open, and countless Han troops rushed in, and we haven't reacted yet."

When the soldier spoke, his heart was still beating and his legs were shaking. He was also a native soldier who had fought in battle, and he had never seen such a fierce and sharp artillery, and he was standing on one side of the city wall some distance from the city gate.

I heard only the sound of war drums, then the sound of trumpets, and then I saw the cannons that were still hundreds of paces away from the city walls, spewing out flames in turn, then puffs of smoke, and then the sound of the sky collapsing.

Then I felt the wall shaking violently under my feet, and then I heard the sound of the city gate tower collapsing. Looking again, all I could see was a puff of smoke.

Before the smoke cleared, I heard a burst of shouts and killings in front of the city, and the Han army suddenly rushed over.

The smoke gradually dispersed, and the location of the city gate was already a mess, and the most terrible thing was that the city gate tower was gone, and the city gate was gone, and there was a big gap there.

The Han army collapsed the city gate tower with the city gate with a round of artillery, and then the Han army seized the gap with a charge, and before they could react, they had already entered the city.

It's so fast, so fast that he can't even react now.

There were a lot of native soldiers in Guiyang City, but they didn't expect the Han army to fire cannons, let alone attack the city, and they couldn't imagine that the city walls of Guiyang couldn't withstand even half an hour.

In fact, they didn't even withstand a quarter of an hour, and after a round of artillery bombardment, plus another round of charge, the Han army entered the city.

In the pavilion, Anwei was still in a daze, and the rest of the people were all stunned and at a loss. (To be continued.) )
