482 [Heads-up before the battle]

Historically, the Qing army went south, and Guangxi also launched a vigorous anti-Qing movement.

In the case of the Han gentry, they were mainly concentrated in the northern part of Guibei.

In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Li Yingpin was raised, first scattered all his family wealth to recruit troops, and went to Hunan to fight with the remnants of Li Zicheng. In the face of the Qing army's attack, the central and northern parts of Guangxi were lost, but Li Yingpin was the only one who could still stand tall in the northeast of Guangxi.

The reason why Li Dingguo was able to recover Guilin and forced Kong Youde to self-immolation in defeat, Li Yingpin can be said to have made great contributions. First, Li Yingpin contained the main force of the Qing army, causing Guilin to be empty; Second, Li Yingpin informed Li Dingguo and suggested that Li Dingguo seize the opportunity to attack Guilin.

It's a pity that when the Qing army counterattacked, Li Dingguo was forced to withdraw, and Li Yingpin fought alone again.

The base area laid by Li Yingpin was surrounded by the Qing army in three ways, and the places where he passed were "killed regardless of the old and the young".

Li Yingpin was defeated and fled, nowhere to be found. The three sons obeyed their father's orders and were not Manchu for life.

At this time and space, when the Datong army was killed in the northeast of Guangxi, Li Yingpin also recruited troops to resist. But there was no war after the recruitment, Li Yingpin was told by his former classmates to surrender, and also helped the Datong Army to recruit the entire Lingchuan County Township Yong Regiment to train troops.

Now, Li Yingpin has been transferred to Sichuan and is serving as the magistrate of Longchang.

Chen Jingyou, a talented man whose family resisted the Qing Dynasty and was martyred, was also persuaded by Li Yingpin to lead his troops to surrender to the Datong Army, and is currently working as a county leader in Liucheng, Guangxi.

Zhu Shengnong and Zhu Shengtian of the Ming clan, the brothers resisted the Qing Dynasty for ten years, cooperated with Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo to fight, and won the allegiance of a large number of Zhuang and Yao forces. And in this time and space, they were revered as co-masters by the Guangxi rebel forces, and formed a coalition army to block the front of the Datong Army.

After suffering two defeats in a row, Liao Mingyue, the leader of the Yao tribe, raised his clan to join the Datong army, and the brothers Zhu Shengnong and Zhu Shengtian were disheartened.

Just last autumn, the two secretly contacted Liu Xinyu, and Liu Xinyu reported to the Ministry of War and obtained Zhao Han's personal approval: since the Zhu brothers did not do much evil and were only the nominal leaders of the Guangxi coalition army, their surrender could be regarded as meritorious service. After the surrender, if you want to be a civil official, you must first go to Nanjing to study for three months, at least you can start from the county.

The Zhu brothers surrendered immediately and arrived in Nanjing in late spring this year, leaving the Guangxi coalition army in a state of scattered sand. So there was an order from the Ministry of War to take the whole of Guangxi within this year!

Zhu Minru, a Wuju man, surrendered the winter before last.

After this person was admitted to the martial arts, the Ming Military Department awarded the general position. But he didn't catch the real shortage, and it was estimated that the silver was not enough, so he went back to his hometown and waited slowly.

Historically, Zhu Minru scattered all his wealth to recruit troops, and had the strongest cavalry unit in the Guangxi Righteous Army. He has made many military exploits, and he has become the chief soldier of Guangxi, and he has the seal of the general of Zhenxi. The Qing army broke the city, Zhu Minru killed his wife and children, burned the seal, took off his armor, put on the virtuous crown, wore a big silk robe, and killed himself in the direction of the Nanjing court.

This year, with the expansion of the Datong Army in Guangxi, Zhu Minru has been promoted to the commander of the cavalry regiment - when he surrendered, he not only disbanded more than 3,000 troops, but also sacrificed more than 800 southwestern war horses.

Zhao Han took this very seriously, and although he took away the Zhu family's Bacheng land, he gave him an iron mine mining license and allowed his family to operate a salt shop in Lingui County.

Settle down in town.

This town is located on the north bank of the Nijiang River (Hongshui River), that is, twenty miles south of the Du'an Yao Autonomous County in later generations.

The Yao leaders occupied a radius of hundreds of miles, and built a ring of wooden walls outside the town with Anding Town as the core of their rule.

Zhu Minru, as the vanguard of the Northwest Guangxi Route Army, led the cavalry along the river. He didn't set up camp at all, and rushed out of the town single-handedly, shouting at the top of his voice: "Surrender quickly, or you will set foot on this place!" ”

The missionary Shi Kehuai also followed with a group of missionary officers, shouting in Chinese and local Yao: "The people in the town are listening, Your Majesty the Emperor of Datong, marry the Yao Panniang as a concubine." The Han and Yao ethnic groups are not only brothers, but also marital in-laws. In Anding Town, there are Han people and Yao people, as long as they put down their weapons and surrender, they will not be blamed for the past festivals. went to report to Yao Lao Liao Ande, and said that Liao Mingyue, the elder of the Yao clan, had surrendered, could he, the little leader of the Yao clan, still be able to resist the soldiers of the Datong army? ”

Not long after, Yao Lao Liao Ande appeared in person: "If I surrender, I don't want to be a toast, but I am not allowed to take away my land, and it is not enough to take away my native soldiers and slaves!" ”

Not only do the Yao people have a variety of languages, but so do their systems.

Pan Qimei's Bapai Yao implements a democratic election system. The Yao people here belong to the dictatorship, and the slavery system still exists.

Zhu Minru was suddenly furious: "You don't know what to do, you occupy Anding Town in vain, not to mention, and kidnap the Han people as slaves." It's a great grace to make you surrender, and you still want to keep the soldiers and slaves! Pull out the Tiger Zun Cannon and attack the city immediately! ”

The Datong Army in Sichuan and Guangxi not only had mountain troops, but also cavalry was equipped with tiger squat artillery.

The Tiger Squat Cannon is a primitive mortar, the gun body is very light, mainly curved shooting, very suitable for mountain and forest operations.

That is, the firing range is very close, and the effective firing range is less than 500 meters.

The tiger squat cannon was slowly carried out outside the town, and the missionary continued to shout: "Han and Yao brothers, the Datong army is for the hard-working people. You have worked hard for Yao Lao, life and death are unpredictable, what can you get in exchange? As long as the Datong army surrendered, it was immediately organized into households and divided into fields, and there was no heavy forced labor, and there was no exorbitant taxation. This year's harvest in Liuzhou is huge, and every household is well fed...... Don't want you to turn against you, the Datong Heavenly Soldiers break through the wooden wall, you just put down your weapons. Put down your weapons, kneel or squat, and the Datong Army promises not to kill and surrender soldiers! ”

"Boom, boom!"

The Tiger Squat Cannon was pulled all the way to a distance of 300 meters, aimed at the wooden wall and began to fire continuously.

This place belongs to the jurisdiction of Si'en Mansion, and there are only two cities in the entire Si'en Mansion. One is Si'en Mansion City, and the other is Wuyuan (Wuming) County, only two city mansions, but the actual control territory is very large, you can imagine how remote and backward it is.

They had no artillery, let alone guns, and their ranged weapons were homemade earthen bows and javelins.

In the face of the fire of the tiger squat cannon, the wooden wall was not smashed, and the defenders of the town could not hold it anymore, and they retreated further away to hide.

Liao Ande's son Liao Gui, seeing that he would be defeated if he continued to bombard like this, actually took advantage of the interval between artillery firing to ride out of the wooden wall and shouted in Chinese: "Wu Na enemy general, if there is a kind of one-on-one confrontation with me!" ”

Zhu Minru couldn't help laughing: "You are a Yaomin, and you actually watch "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? ”

Liao Gui pointed at Zhu Minru and said, "Do you dare?" ”

"Haha, why don't you dare?" Zhu Minru laughed, he was a serious Ming martial artist.

Liao Gui said: "If you are a hero, you are not allowed to use firearms!" ”

"No, no." Zhu Minru threw the fire gun to his subordinates.

Missionary Shi Kehuai advised: "Don't fall for the enemy's tricks, our army has the chance to win, and it is necessary to take such risks." ”

Zhu Minru said: "Don't worry, Lao Shi, he can't hurt me yet." Drive! ”

Although surrounded by mountains on all sides, Anding Town has a large area of flat land and is located in the alluvial valley where the two rivers meet. It is the distribution center of the surrounding mountain goods, and it is a prosperous town in the backward area.

Zhu Minru belongs to the dragoon sequence, he has no armor all over his body, only wears a helmet to protect against arrows, and the waist knife he is equipped with is not suitable for riding combat.

And that Yao general Liao Gui was wearing leather armor all over his body, and he was holding a Guangxi Pu knife - a Yao firewood knife with a long handle.

Liao Gui estimated that he had really watched too much of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and his blood was boiling at the moment, fantasizing about killing Zhu Minru, and then taking the opportunity to lead his troops to cover up the killing, and fight a big victory that shocked Guangxi.

Of course, he also saw it clearly, Zhu Minru had no armor, and weapons were not good.

The two sides hedged in this way, and in front of the two armies, in full view of everyone, staged a very outrageous military general's heads-up drama.

Even the enemy troops defending the town who were hiding from the artillery fire ran behind the wooden wall and watched the battle through the cracks in the wooden planks, and some even climbed onto the wooden wall and rode on.

Yao Lao Liao Ande did not stop his son from going head-to-head, he believed in his son's martial arts, but at the same time felt that he could not hold on, and could only win in such a ridiculous way.

With the help of the horse's momentum, Liao Gui raised his sword and slashed out.

His Pu knife is much longer than Zhu Minru's waist knife, and it has a long handle, which makes it easier to ride and fight.

"Dang!"

At the moment when he was about to make contact, Zhu Minru waved his waist knife, deflected Liao Gui's Pu knife, and then abandoned the knife and popped out of his body, grabbed Liao Gui's leather armor, and took it off the horse's back.

Zhu Minru's arm strength is super strong, but unfortunately the war horse under his crotch is not strong.

It was just a southwestern pony, barely bearing the weight of two men, its limbs bent and trembling, and it slowed down in an emergency, and was almost thrown out by inertia.

Liao Gui was caught in a daze, and he didn't figure out what the situation was at all.

Daming martial arts people, terrifying!

Zhu Minru dismounted with the enemy general and shouted at the defenders in the town: "Surrender quickly!" ”

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! ”

"The general is mighty!"

The Datong dragoon soldiers erupted in cheers, but the defenders in the town were frightened.

Without waiting for Yao Lao Liao Ande to respond, there were already soldiers who opened the wooden door, and Anding Town was taken down without blood.

A small town is nothing, but it is one of the two major transportation hubs in Si'en Province!

Zhu Minru belongs to the vanguard and is also called a pioneer. After occupying Anding Town, he sent people to escort back the captured enemy generals, leaving only a few men to garrison, and then crossed the river to the south with his troops.

Going south along the valley, there is also a Baishan town (later Mashan County).

also didn't fight any hard battles, so he took Baishan Town, and then occupied Qiaoli, Nama and other Yaozhuang villages, and led 2,000 cavalry to the outside of Si'en Mansion.

The enemy general of Si'en Mansion is a Han military attachΓ©.

Seeing that Zhu Minru had few soldiers, he did not choose to abandon the city and flee, nor did he choose to stick to the city, and gathered nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses to go out of the city to face the battle.

This goods learn from the Ming Dynasty and will engage in the family Ding system, and more than 1,000 families can fight, and the rest are indiscriminate and full of Xiangyong.

"Looks like you can fight?" Missionary Shi Kehuai asked.

Zhu Minru smiled: "Where can't I fight?" I am not afraid that they will meet the battle, but I am afraid that they will abandon the city and go into the mountains. The thieves of Si'en Mansion have not suffered our losses, and they don't know that they will hurry into the mountains when they encounter the Datong army. You have to take this opportunity to destroy as much as you can. When they come to their senses, they will all hide in the mountains, and it will be troublesome. ”

Nearly 10,000 enemy troops advanced in formation, and the dragoons fired with tiger squat cannons.

After two rounds of shelling, the opponent's Xiangyong phalanx was in chaos, and only the Jiading soldiers were left to hold on.

Two thousand dragoons stepped forward, approached twenty paces, and dismounted in an extremely loose formation, facing the enemy's crotch-pulling bows and arrows, and fired a volley of firearms.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Get on your horse and charge!"

With three consecutive blows, the whole army mounted and charged.

Zhu Minru brandished a saber and rushed to the front alone. Before the two armies could make contact, the enemy had already broken up.

Zhu Minru ignored the scattered villagers and took the enemy's main position, and those family soldiers also began to flee.

The enemy general who did not deserve his life did not even have a chance to escape, so he was beheaded by Zhu Minru with a drag, and two thousand dragoons took advantage of the situation to occupy Si'enfu City.

The Datong Army of the north and south of Guangxi was ordered to march westward together, and all of them were like bamboos, quickly occupying various cities.

It's a pity that the enemy army in the western part of Guizhou learned to be smart, and when they saw the Datong army, they abandoned the city and the village, and chose to hide in the mountains to fight guerrilla resistance.
