589 [No Tiger in the Mountains]
Li Achu crossed the mountains and was sent to attack Yiliang City, trying to burn the grain and grass of the Datong army in one fell swoop.
Thousands of peasants and soldiers, 10,000 people, all in the city...
Even as soon as he came out of the mountain, Li Achu was discovered by dragoons. Yiliang is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is a relatively flat land in the middle, where the county seat is built, and the city is only five or six miles away from the mountainous area.
"Woo woo~~~~"
A squad of sentry riders noticed the situation and immediately blew their horns.
"Kill all the Han army!"
Li Achu relied on the large number of people, and actually led the team to rush forward, and the native soldiers under his command took out bows and arrows one after another.
The sentry cavalry did not fire a single shot, and continued to blow the trumpet and retreat. After only half a mile of withdrawal, two groups of cavalry came to support, and more than 60 cavalry began to outflank the rear of 5,000 native soldiers.
Li Achu knew that he would be kited by the cavalry, so he simply ignored it and led the elite of the territorial soldiers to continue to march towards the county seat.
After a while, more than 100 riders came.
As the commander of the cavalry battalion, Zhu Tinghe is the highest military position on the battlefield at the moment, and he is stupid when he witnesses the behavior of the enemy army.
Five thousand Tusi soldiers, under the watchful eye of the dragoons, still dare to continue to attack the city?
Li Achu took it for granted, he had been a slave since he was a child, and he didn't know what race he belonged to. Because of his honesty and obedience, he was selected as Sha Dingzhou's follower, and when he was fourteen years old, he began to fight with the sixteen-year-old Sha Dingzhou.
For more than 20 years, he has rarely been defeated, and he is the second fierce general after the Iron Tiger.
Especially in recent years, Li Achu has been invincible and invincible. He has encountered a lot of Han troops, except for a few troops, the equipment is better than the native soldiers, most of the Han army belongs to the scum, and Mu Tianbo's general army can still fight.
Now, Mu Tianbo has been overturned, and Sha Dingzhou has grabbed a lot of armor.
Li Achu felt that after his whole army was armoured, he could already sweep the world. What if more than 100 dragoons followed, and what if there were defenders in the county town ahead? As long as you lead the troops to kill the past, it will inevitably be like chopping melons and vegetables!
The city of Chuxiong Mansion in the west was fought down by Li Achu with 3,000 soldiers, and most of the native soldiers under his command had no armor at that time.
"Woo woo woo ~~~~~"
The dragoons were still blowing trumpets and gathering, gathering more than 300 troops one after another. They were not in a hurry to attack, and they all followed slowly, watching the enemy march towards the county like fools.
Li Achu's army was marching forward at a rapid pace, and the city walls could already be seen.
There are many dwellings outside the city, and the door panels are dismantled to make ladders, and two wooden planks are tied together, and you can climb up by building a wall, and the city wall here is really low.
When the army was gathered to four hundred, the dragoons began to approach.
Seeing this, Li Achu hurriedly ordered to stop the march and gathered together to prepare for archery.
Five thousand toast elites, although the formation is not neat, but the morale is particularly strong. The composition of the class mimics that of the Han army, with pikemen in front and a melee soldier with a small shield and axe.
The four hundred dragoons turned over and dismounted, and Zhu Tinghe raised his command knife: "Raise the gun!" ”
Li Achu also shouted: "Archers come forward!" ”
A qualified Ming and Qing infantry bow, if the strength is full, the range is actually similar to that of a musket.
Li Achu was very confident, and the archers under his command were all good bows of the Mu family's own soldiers, and they shot farther and more accurately than the previous earthen bows. Relying on the superiority of his forces, he can shoot all the enemies in front of him.
The archers of the native soldiers ran out of battle, and Zhu Tinghe immediately ordered when he saw this: "Collect the guns, get on the horse and attack!" ”
Zhu Tinghe is confident that he will win, but there is no need to fight so hard.
In the face of a group of dirt buns, any casualties on his side are purely superfluous losses.
While the toasters were still drawing their bows, the dragoons had already mounted their horses and ran. Four hundred dragoons, scattered into several groups, rode far away, and then began to surround from all sides.
There were only 1,200 archers under Li Achu's command, and it was impossible to cover everything.
As soon as there were no archers, dozens of dragoons rushed forward, fired a single shot into the crowd and ran.
"Bang bang bang!"
The gunshots rang out constantly, and although the hit rate was not high, and the casualties caused were not large, the Tusi soldiers were completely in a situation of being passively beaten.
After several consecutive shots, the Tusi soldiers only lost more than 30 casualties, and the casualty rate was less than 0.7%.
But this is particularly annoying, and there is no way to deal with it.
Li Achu felt upset, he had never encountered this kind of tactic, he really wanted to lead the troops to rush forward and fight those Han soldiers with real swords and guns.
1200 toast archers, who were running back and forth by the dragoons, no longer knew which direction to aim. The melee soldiers were even more frightened, and a few unlucky ghosts always fell.
After struggling and suffering for a while, Li Achu finally made up his mind: "Go back to the mountains and fight again, don't go to attack the city!" ”
Thousands of Tusi soldiers ran in the direction of the mountain, and the formation was chaotic in an instant.
"Woo woo woo ~ ~~"
Zhu Tinghe seized the opportunity and let the herald blow the horn of attack.
The four hundred dragoons contracted the encirclement, those who did not reload quickly reloaded, and those who reloaded their ammunition rushed closer and fired freely.
"Bang bang bang!"
There was another chaotic burst of gunfire, and the Tusi soldiers were directly hit by hundreds of people, and the breakthrough operation suddenly turned into a rout.
The dragoons put away their flintlock pistols, drew their swords and rode in pursuit, and many of the toasters were so frightened that they threw away their weapons.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Achu took a few brave people with him, and actually turned around and rushed towards the dragoons with his sword. But he was a rout, and before the dragoons could catch up, the entourage around him was scattered, and in the blink of an eye, only two were still following.
What's even more nonsense is that because there were too many routs and too few pursuers, the dragoons directly ignored Li Achu.
But as long as the Tusi soldiers have not yet been defeated, the dragoons will not go to the battle, and will cut down those defeated soldiers first. Li Achu took two relatives with him, and originally planned to fight bloodily, but he saw the enemy army bypassing him and cut down the other routs one after another.
"Come and kill me!" Li Achu yelled angrily.
No one paid attention.
Zhu Tinghe personally led more than ten horsemen and went around to the front to intercept. Some of the Tusi soldiers who ran at the forefront changed direction and continued to flee, and some directly threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.
The Tusi soldiers who surrendered, more and more numerous, and finally knelt down in pieces.
The most elite soldiers in Shadingzhou are inexplicably gone. And the Datong dragoons, 400 people annihilated 5,000 people, and they didn't even have a single wounded.
Zhu Tinghe rode a horse and galloped towards Li Achu and shouted: "Kneel down and be bound!" ”
"I'm not convinced!" Li Achu shouted in Chinese.
Zhu Tinghe slowly loaded the ammunition, aimed at Li Achu and shot at him, killing his relatives with one shot. This was a bit outrageous, Zhu Tinghe couldn't help but blush, but he pretended to be like this on purpose, and asked, "Have you taken it?" Kneel down after taking it! ”
Li Achu looked at the fallen relatives, swallowed his saliva, and finally knelt on his knees.
Zhu Tinghe ordered the soldiers to go up and tie up people, and complained with a smile: "Just you native soldiers, you actually occupy most of Yunnan. There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are the kings, and I really think that I am very powerful. ”
Li Achu was tied up and taken to the lion's mouth camp, and Huang Mi was in a happy mood.
The next day, Datong soldiers escorted Li Achu to the valley mouth: "Go, go back and report the news!" ”
Put yourself out?
Li Achu couldn't believe it, he was stunned for a long time, pulled his legs and ran towards the valley, and was caught by his own people soon after entering the valley.
"How did you come from the lion's mouth?" Sha Dingzhou asked.
Li Achu's face was swollen and red, and he said ashamedly: "General Mansion, five thousand ...... The five thousand warriors are gone. These Han troops were so powerful that they were able to ride their horses and release their guns. The Han army's firecracker can be fired without igniting, which is better than the Mu family's firecracker. ”
Sha Dingzhou asked, "You were ambushed by the main force of the Han army?" ”
Li Achu's face became even redder, and he lowered his head and said, "No, the Han army is only ...... Only a few hundred cavalry. ”
Sha Dingzhou was dumbfounded, this was his most elite unit, and it was actually wiped out by hundreds of cavalry.
After a long time of delay, Sha Dingzhou sent his henchmen to the south to speed up the evacuation of Wan's family. As for the treasure that was too cumbersome, let Wan throw it away, and he had to arrive in Xinxing Prefecture (Yuxi) as soon as possible, so that he himself could lead the army to catch up and converge.
Less than half a day after the henchmen left, they actually ran back again, and took two defeated soldiers with them.
The defeated soldiers cried: "The General Mansion, Kunming is gone!" ”
Sha Dingzhou seemed to be smashed in the chest with a hammer. He stood still, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Where is my treasure?" ”
"It's gone." The defeated soldier replied.
Sha Dingzhou asked again: "Is it the Datong army that captured Kunming, or the Han rebels on Chuxiong's side?" ”
The defeated soldier shook his head: "I don't know." ”
"How can you not know that the cities are occupied? Say! How is there no Kunming in the end! Sha Dingzhou finally couldn't hold back and roared angrily.
The defeated soldier replied, "The master mother asked us to collect men and wagons, saying that they were used to transport treasures. Everyone is looting in the city, Kunming is in chaos, it is dark in the middle of the night, and I don't know how many Han troops have come......"
Sha Dingzhou didn't even have the interest to scold, and sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, looking at the mountains in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
He felt that the past few years had been like a dream.
First of all, he seduced his sister-in-law, made his sister-in-law's belly bigger, and spent money to buy a lot of good things for his sister-in-law. The sister-in-law was coaxed by him to be dizzy, and after she became pregnant, she offered to murder her husband. So, the uncle and sister-in-law teamed up to kill their brother.
Then, he booby-trapped the son of his ex-husband and occupied his ex-husband's territory.
and then used the tactics of the strategists to secretly provoke the Tusi rebellion. Sha Dingzhou continued to make meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, and was more and more trusted by Mu Tianbo. In the last time to quell the rebellion, he led his troops directly to the outside of Kunming, and Mu Tianbo still did not have any suspicions.
Then, Sha Dingzhou entered the city with a small number of personal soldiers and attacked the palace and King Mu's mansion by surprise. And his army outside the city also went to raid the Mu family's military camp outside the city.
The wealth accumulated by the Mu family for three hundred years was seized by Shadingzhou, and most of Yunnan was also defeated by him by force.
He felt that he could be the king of Yunnan, even if he couldn't be crowned king, he could also ask Emperor Zhao for the official position of Yunnan Xuanxuan. Because Emperor Zhao and the Yunnan puppet emperor are enemies, since he destroyed the Yunnan puppet emperor, it is a great contribution to Emperor Zhao.
The damned Emperor Zhao, who was not rewarded for his merits, even sent troops to kill him, which made no sense at all.
It's gone, so much treasure is gone, so much territory is gone.
That night, Sha Dingzhou took only more than 2,000 cavalry, left tens of thousands of troops and fled in the dark. He didn't dare to wait any longer, if Chu Xiong and the Han army in Kunming came, he would be in the predicament of being flanked from front to back.
As soon as the main general ran, tens of thousands of troops quickly became chaotic.
The soldiers, who knew the truth, panicked and wanted to flee back to their hometown. The soldiers who didn't know the situation thought that the Datong army was attacking at night and crashed into the barracks like flies.
Sensing the movement of the enemy army, Huang Mi smiled and said: "Kill into the valley and annihilate the enemy army!" ”
