The rain had been heard, the sun had been revealed in the sky, and the soldiers who had stayed there had once again embarked on the journey. Sun Chuanting, who was sitting on the horse, had a somewhat gloomy face, and looked back from time to time, and every time he looked, there would be an extra wrinkle on his forehead.

Yuan Keli on the side staggered on the horse, looked at Sun Chuanting with a smile, and said in a brisk tone: "Lord Sun, after the new rain in the empty mountain, why is your face sad?" ”

"Lord Yuan is so interested, I don't know how Chengdu is now, the people I saw a few days ago said that Chengdu was besieged. If Chengdu loses, it will be bad. Sun Chuanting's expression was quite helpless, and the heavy rain for several days hindered the speed of the march, otherwise he would have arrived in Chengdu by now.

Shaking his head gently, Yuan Keli said in a rather relaxed tone: "If you are worried about this, then General Sun's heart will be put in his stomach for the time being!" Zhu Xieyuan, the political envoy of Sichuan, was a jinshi in the twentieth year of Wanli. The old man is today in the seventeenth year of Wanli, and he once pointed out Zhu Xieyuan's article, and we can be regarded as having a good relationship. The old man still knows a lot about Zhu Xieyuan, and he is talented, but this thing is not difficult for him. Without soldiers in hand, the counterinsurgency must not be able to, but there is no problem in holding Chengdu. ”

Listening to Yuan Keli's words, Sun Chuanting raised his eyebrows, this Yuan Keli really made himself speechless. As if there is no one in the world who he doesn't know, with this person by his side, everything is really convenient. The relationship between Zhu Xieyuan and Yuan Keli is already very solid, although it is not the same year, but Yuan Keli can be regarded as half of Zhu Xieyuan's teacher.

Although the sadness on Sun Chuanting's face decreased slightly, it was not gone, and his eyebrows were still quite gloomy.

"Lord Sun, don't forget, there is not only a Zhu Xieyuan in Chengdu City, but the King of Shu is also in the city. The king of Shu is quite popular with the people in the local area, and there are guards in the palace, so they are all elite soldiers! It is not a problem to hold Chengdu. Chengdu has a tall city wall, relying on these anti-thieves in Sichuan. I'm afraid I won't be able to beat it for half a year. Yuan Keli smiled indifferently, his face full of self-satisfaction.

Since receiving the holy decree of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Yuan Keli has been in a good mood, and when he returns for meritorious service this time, he can go to the court. After 26 years of leisure at home, Yuan Keli can be said to be very depressed in his heart, and now it is the time for the sea to leap with a fish. The sky is high and the birds fly.

Looking at the high-spirited Yuan Keli, Sun Chuanting suddenly had an illusion, as if he was the old man, and Yuan Keli was a young man. Shaking his head with a smile, shaking off those unrealistic fantasies, Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice: "Lord Yuan." Shall we hurry up? Those who are behind them go on their own? ”

Since entering the Sichuan realm, Sun Chuanting has encountered the Ming army from time to time, some of them are reinforcements, and some are defeated soldiers. Of course, the equipment is called a poor, and some look like they are called Huazi, Sun Chuanting really can't imagine how such a team can fight. But Yuan Keli is tired of this, and he collects these people every time. It seems that he is ready to fight with this joyful man.

Smiled playfully, Yuan Keli nodded appreciatively, stroked his beard gently, and said, "Those people are useful, after all, we only have 20,000 people, and those people can be strong since they stay." The most important thing is that if we want to take somewhere, we can leave them there to garrison, otherwise the city will be empty. Bandits are rampant, and there will be chaos. ”

Glancing at Yuan Keli with admiration, Sun Chuanting hugged his fists with a serious face and said: "Lord Yuan is far-sighted, Sun is ashamed of himself, and he has been taught!" ”

Seeing Sun Chuanting's serious face, Yuan Keli breathed a sigh of relief, Sun Chuanting is now his boss. Hope didn't make him feel like he was transgressing. When he saw Sun Chuanting's expression, Yuan Keli felt that this was a very good person. is young and in a high position, it is not easy to have such a bearing.

Master Sun laughed. The small skills of carving insects cannot be elegant. Yuan Keli waved his hand casually and said modestly.

Lowering his head and thinking about it, Sun Chuanting's face gradually became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't know what Lord Yuan's plan is for this attack?" How do you think we should attack? ”

"Master Sun, don't ask this question to the old man, don't you have a plan in your heart?" Yuan Keli looked at Sun Chuanting with a smile, his beard curled up, and his eyes were full of pride.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Sun Chuanting patted his forehead helplessly, his tone was full of bitterness, and said: "I can't hide anything from Lord Yuan, this official does have a plan, that is, to attack." ”

The two men looked at each other, looked at each other and smiled.

After pondering for a long time, Sun Chuanting asked in a deep voice: "It's just Lord Yuan, where should we attack first?" ”

"The old man has asked the guide, and there are two counties in front of us, one is Anle and the other is Lezhi. These two counties are now occupied by the rebels, and all we have to do is recover them. Yuan Keli glanced at Sun Chuanting and said with a smile, his tone was unusually brisk, and he didn't seem to take this matter to heart.

Nodding slowly, Sun Chuanting said with a smile: "Just use the rebels in these two places to test the water and see if we can fight." ”

After two hours, the men and horses arrived at the gates of Anle. Looking at the so-called county seat in front of him, Sun Chuanting really didn't know what to say. The city wall was piled up with earthen fences, and the gate that had broken a big hole made Sun Chuanting interested in the slightest.

Glancing at Yuan Keli on the side, Sun Chuanting said with a smile: "Lord Yuan, this expedition is the emperor's intention, so you can only win." How about this first battle in Sichuan? That's a lot of work! ”

"What's the head?" Glaring at Sun Chuanting fiercely, Yuan Keli's face showed his reluctance, it was really boring to command such a battle. Turning around and beckoning, Yuan Keli said to Sun Chuanting: "Do you still need us to do this kind of thing?" It's too big to be too big. ”

Looking at the people who came over, Sun Chuanting shook his head gently, and he also admired Yuan Keli a little in his heart.

"Zhang Jianshi, this official asked you, how many men do you have?" Yuan Keli's face was straight, he looked at Zhang He who came over, and said with a serious expression.

"Lord Hui, I command 10,000 horses in my humble position!" Zhang He is the commander of Zheng Sipin, although he is not as valuable as Jinyiwei, but he is also pro-army. However, when facing Yuan Keli, he was still a lower level, after all, he was not a Jinyi guard, and he still had to be controlled by civil officials.

Nodding slowly, Yuan Keli glanced at Zhang He seriously, and said in a recognizant tone: "Zhang Jianshi, this first battle into Sichuan is too important, and after discussing with Lord Sun, this official decided that you will fight it." I hope you don't live up to the trust of Lord Sun and the old man, and take down the Anle County in front of you. ”

Zhang He suddenly looked excited, hugged his fist at Yuan Keli, and said loudly: "Master Xie, let's go and prepare." ”

Rolling his eyes at Yuan Keli, Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice: "Zhang Jianshi commands 10,000 horses, which is really big and useless. ”

Shaking his head slightly, Yuan Keli said with a smile: "Master Sun, that's not what he said, Zhang Jianshi is commanding Jianshi, and this kind of battle is naturally more suitable for him." ”

In Anle County, there are 3,000 people stationed in Xuan Chongming, and they are all considered the elite of his army. The man who commanded this army was called Hao An, and he was the cousin of Hao Chongming, and he was standing at the head of the city at this time.

Seeing the colorful flags fluttering under the city and the Ming army running back and forth in the army, Hao An knew that this Ming army was very elite. The most important thing is that he has 3,000 people, but he can't withstand the encirclement and suppression of the army, and those are meaningless.

Glancing back at his guard, Hao'an's face was very ugly, calmed his voice, and said in a deep voice: "After the fight starts, you take advantage of the chaos to run out, and you must go to Chengdu to send a letter to the king!" Tell the king everything about the situation here, and send reinforcements. ”

"Don't worry, general, I'll go down and do it!" The man nodded and left quickly.

Zhang He looked at the city in front of him, and he was also quite disdainful in his heart, but he still had to fight to know, and he must be careful before. He brought in his ten thousand households, and finally felt that there was no need for any strategy, so he could rush in directly.

"Your Excellency, you are ready for your duties! It's time to get started! Zhang He came to Yuan Keli's side, bowed respectfully, and said in a deep voice.

Nodding slowly, Yuan Keli said with a smile: "Let's do it!" ”

With an order, under the leadership of a thousand households, a thousand Ming troops began to run towards the city.

"Lord Yuan, don't you use artillery here?" Looking at the soldiers who rushed over, Sun Chuanting frowned and asked hesitantly.

"Lord Sun, there is still no need for such a place, we will have too many battles to fight in the future. There are also a lot of places where artillery is needed, so you can save a little eleven points! Yuan Keli smiled indifferently and said casually.

The battle went on quickly, and with a loud explosion, the entire city gate was shattered, and the city gate became a large hole. This kind of explosive pack, a new product of the firearms factory, is very powerful.

The city gate opened, and groups of Ming troops quickly rushed into the city. Suddenly the sound of shouting and killing sounded in the city, and the screams were endless.

The battle began and ended faster, and the three thousand defenders in the city died and surrendered, and the whole battle took less than half an hour. Looking at the Ming army cleaning the battlefield, Sun Chuanting smiled helplessly and said, "It's too easy for people to have the heart of a rival!" ”

Yuan Keli was slightly stunned, and then laughed loudly.

They didn't stay here too long, and two hours later the team came to the next county seat, Lezhi County. In the same battle process, there were 5,000 defenders in Lezhi County, but it didn't take much effort.

After recovering Lezhi, it was already late, so Sun Chuanting ordered the whole army to rest in Lezhi and rush to Chengdu early tomorrow morning. After these two battles, the Ming army was like a rainbow, and it was obviously ready to show its talents.
