The defeat of the Ming army at Phoenix Ridge was not only someone who passed the news to Luo Guanzhong.

Someone also brought the news to Tang He, the commander of the Guizhou Metropolitan Division in the rear.

As the supreme commander of the Ming army in Guizhou, Tang He immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, he had underestimated the energy of the Tusi rebels, and did not expect that he would be able to develop so many internal responses from the mountain people.

Tang He immediately decided to personally lead the elite of the Ming army in Guizhou along the mountain road to the area of Buffalo Village, and he estimated that as long as the Ming army in Buffalo Village was not negligent, it would definitely be able to hold on until he led reinforcements to arrive.

At this time, outside the Buffalo Walled City, the Tusi Army led by the rebel leader Yang Wanzhong was already in a dilemma.

Yang Wanzhong led the rebels of the Territorial Division, although he won the Battle of Phoenix Ridge and killed more than 300 Ming soldiers.

However, Huang Shan, the commander of the Ming army in Phoenix Ridge, ordered the burning of the warehouses in Phoenix Ridge before Phoenix Ridge was broken, and the Tusi rebels did not get a grain of grain and other supplies.

Now that they have lost more than 1,000 elites under the Buffalo Walled City, if they don't break through the Buffalo Village again, then they will lose money this time.

Especially with the report of the spies in front, the large army of the Ming army is rushing towards the buffalo village, which makes Yang Wanzhong very anxious.

"If our Banzhou Yang clan can't eliminate this Ming army, then there will be no chance to restore the ancestral foundation in the future."

Yang Wanzhong thought about it again and again and decided to make a final desperate fight.

Yang Wanzhong personally went into battle and urged his rebel soldiers to launch a lifeless attack.

It has to be said that the rebels still had a bit of blood and courage in a desperate situation, and they attacked from morning to evening with the muskets and artillery of the Ming army.

The muskets and artillery in the hands of the Ming army were already scorching hot, and they could not be fired at all.

In such an urgent situation, Luo Guanzhong still did not panic.

Luo Guanzhong drew a spear and led the soldiers in a fierce hand-to-hand fight with the rebels at the head of the city.

When night fell, there were already many corpses of rebels piled up outside the buffalo village.

Under the instigation of Yang Wanzhong and other leaders, the rebels felt that the Ming army could be defeated, and they were no longer able to use powerful firearms.

But now the Ming army still beat them to the ground with hand-to-hand combat with knives and guns in their hands.

This has deprived the rebels of the last vestiges of confidence.

By the end of the night, many of the rebels had already felt hopeless because of the repeated defeats, especially since many of them had lost their brothers, fathers and sons, and they wept even more sadly.

At first, there were only a few people crying and weeping, but gradually the number of people grew, and the whole rebel camp was full of wailing and crying.

When Yang Wanzhong saw this situation, he also knew that there was no need to fight any longer.

In particular, the spies of the Tusi rebels came to report to Yang Wanzhong that night, and Tang He, the general of the Ming army, had led more than 7,000 elites to kill them from the rear, and the Fenghuangling camp occupied by the Tusi rebels had fled from the wind.

Yang Wanzhong: If they continue to delay here in Buffalo Village, once the Ming army appears, they will not be able to escape if they want to escape again.

The next day.

Before dawn, Yang Wanzhong led his troops to quietly withdraw from the camp and fled to the rear.

The Tusi rebels fled very quickly.

Even the corpses of the rebels outside the buffalo village did not have time to be cleaned up and taken away.

Luo Guanzhong sent scouts to track down Yang Wanzhong's whereabouts, but they came up empty.

There is no trace of the enemy at all.

"My lord, Yang Wanzhong and his subordinates have already fled, what should we do, do we chase or not?" A hundred households asked.

"They are familiar with the terrain, they run very fast, and they order all the scouts to go out and chase cautiously." Luo Guanzhong ordered.

"Yes!"

Yang Wanzhong led his men and horses to run wildly, and finally got rid of the Ming army behind after the sun rose.

"My lord! Where are we going now? Yang Wanzhong's subordinates asked.

Yang Wanzhong shook his head: "No matter where you go, it's good to save our lives first." ”

"The Ming army can't catch up with us, do you want to wait and see?"

"Whether they chase or not, we must leave now, our men and horses have suffered too many casualties, coupled with the lack of food and grass, we can't survive the pursuit of the Ming army." Yang Wanzhong said.

"My lord, then, what should we do next?" Yang Wanzhong's subordinate continued to ask.

"We can only go west now, no matter what, let's go back to Shuixi's territory as soon as possible." Yang Wanzhong sighed.

Yang Wanzhong led the rebels of the Territory Division to run wildly, and the Ming army was unfamiliar with the terrain and after chasing for a long time, they no longer pursued.

At this time, Tang He, the commander of the capital of Guizhou in the Ming Dynasty, had already led the main army to the buffalo village.

"Subordinate Luo Guanzhong, meet Lord Dusi." As soon as Luo Guanzhong saw Tang He, he immediately led his subordinates to greet him.

"Luo Qianhu, you fought this battle beautifully, I want to give you credit to the imperial court!"

When Tang He saw Luo Guanzhong, he was immediately very happy and praised.

"Lord Dusi, you have praised it falsely, and you are ashamed of your humble position." Luo Guanzhong said modestly.

"Luo Qianhu, I heard that your subordinates killed about 2,000 rebels on the city wall yesterday." Tang He said with a smile.

"I'm ashamed, those traitors are a rabble, and there is no difficulty at all." Luo Guanzhong said.

"Haha...... Okay, don't be modest, I see that your subordinates are all first-class good sons, you prepare, I will take you back to the capital with me, and when you arrive in the capital, I will play the holy decree to reward you. Tang He patted Luo Guanzhong on the shoulder and smiled.

When Luo Guanzhong heard this, he immediately said in surprise: "My lord is ready to let the humble post return to the capital?" This...... This, the Guizhou Tusi rebels have not been wiped out! ”

Luo Guanzhong asked in disbelief.

"Hahaha, the information we just got that Chen Youliang in Sichuan has started a war against the Mongols in Yunnan, so that these Tusi in Guizhou will have no one to support them, and they won't be able to jump for a few days, okay, you don't have to worry, you go back to Beijing with me to report on your work." Tang He continued to say to Luo Guanzhong.

"Yes, obedience." Luo Guanzhong said happily.

"Well, that's it, you've worked hard during this time, after you go back, rest for a few days, and then follow me back to Beijing, by the way, your troops are temporarily under the command of the deputy general." Tang He said to Luo Guanzhong.

"Thank you for your attention." Luo Guanzhong said respectfully.

"Well, you can go back and arrange it first." Tang He commanded.

After more than half a year of the Ming army's conquest of the Guizhou Tusi rebels, they have already lost their troops, and now the Yunnan Liang King Bazara Valmi, who is making trouble behind them, has taken care of himself, and it is a matter of time before the Guizhou Tusi succumbs.

So just after returning to the capital, Zhu Han of Ying Tianfu sent people to stop Tang He's continued attack on Guizhou Tusi in an eight-hundred-mile expedited way, and the best way to deal with these toasts was to add carrots with sticks, so as not to push them all to Chen Youliang's side.

A few days later, after some trimming, Tang He led Luo Guanzhong and the generals to embark on the journey back to Jingshi Yingtianfu.

Chengdu, Sichuan.

Since the Ming army began to attack Guizhou.

Emperor Chen Youliang of the Han Dynasty has always been concerned about the situation in Guizhou.

The mountains and roads in Guizhou are dangerous, and the Tusi forces in various places are intertwined, Chen Youliang originally thought that the Ming army would have to spend three or five years to defeat the Tusi in Guizhou.

But Chen Youliang never expected that the Ming army would conquer half of Guizhou in only half a year.

Crippled Banshu Toast Yang.

If this continues, it will not be long before the Ming army can conquer all the territory of Guizhou.

And once Guizhou fell into the hands of the Ming army, the Sichuan that Chen Youliang had just gnawed on would face a direct threat from the south.

Therefore, Chen Youliang decided to strike first and planned to lead the army south to attack Yunnan!

As long as the Mongols in Yunnan were defeated, then the Tusi of Guizhou would fall to his side, so that Chen Youliang could use the land and population of Yungui in Sichuan to resist the Ming army.

Therefore, this time the Mongol Liang King who attacked Yunnan was very important, and Chen Youliang was not at ease to hand over such an important task to others, so he announced his own expedition, claiming to have an army of 300,000.

Chen Youliang claims to have an army of 300,000, but in fact, it is impossible to have so many troops.

The core and main force of the Han army is the veterans of the Red Turban Army brought by Chen Youliang from Hubei, with a total of no more than 30,000, even if you count the soldiers recruited by Sichuan to fight local tyrants and divide the fields, it is only an increase of 50,000 people.

It is impossible to exceed 100,000 people, let alone 300,000 people, but Chen Youliang dared to boast of 300,000 horses under his command, and threatened to take Dali in 30 days.

Yunnan was in a panic, and the Yuan army, which was stationed at Jinsha Pass at the forefront, sent five groups of scouts to send a secret message to the Liang king Bazarawal to ask for reinforcements.

However, before the Yuan army at Jinsha Pass could wait for reinforcements, they first saw the tens of thousands of troops that Chen Youliang had personally recruited!

"The Red Turban Thief is here!"

"Hurry up the beacon!"

Outside Jinsha Pass, Chen Youliang did not hesitate to give the order to attack, he just wanted to capture Yunnan as quickly as possible.

"Kill all the dog tartars!"

"Kill!"

"Surrender, don't kill!"

……

Tens of thousands of Red Turban soldiers shouted in unison, surging towards Jinsha Pass like a tide.

The defenders of the Yuan Dynasty on the wall of Jinsha Pass were terrified when they saw the overwhelming array of enemies.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! ”

The defender Baro Timur hurriedly ordered: "Prepare the archers, shoot the charging enemy troops, hurry up!" ”

"Shoot the arrows!"

Countless sharp arrows flew towards the Han Red Turban Army, but they were blocked by the Red Turban Army's shield.

"Put! Put! Hurry up and put it! ”

With the order of Barrow Timur, a dense rain of arrows flew out and landed on the heads of the Red Turban Army.

I only heard a few pops, and I saw several red turban soldiers falling to the ground, and the gap in the armor and stomach was directly shot through.

"Keep shooting!"

With the roar of Barrow Timur, another round of arrows was missed.

But this did not stop the Red Turbans from continuing to charge forward.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

The artillery of the Han Red Turban Army made a deafening sound from the position.

The defenders of the Yuan Dynasty who stood on the city pass were all pale and trembling in both hands.

Some even sit on the ground with weak legs.

With the help of artillery, the city gate was finally opened, and a large number of Yuan troops ran out of the city gate hole.

"Kill!"

The Yuan army in the city shouted as they rushed towards the Red Turban Army outside the city.

They are already making their last struggle.

Chen Youliang was wearing armor and riding on a horse, he looked at the Yuan army desperately resisting in the city, and the corners of his mouth slightly outlined a cruel smile.

"Spread my will, all charge!"

"Kill the Yuan Army!"

"Not a single Mongol will be left!"

……

The Han Red Turban Army shouted frantically, and their shouts resounded through the sky.

Outside the city, the shouts of the Yuan army were not to be outdone.

Although they are few and strong, they still resist stubbornly.

Chen Youliang's Han army would fall behind when it encountered the Ming army, but it had the upper hand against the Yuan army.

"Rush!"

The Han Red Turban Army rushed to the Yuan army in the city desperately, and the fighting between the two sides was tragic and abnormal, and the fighting in the city was even more bloody.

On one side is the Yuan army that desperately resists, and on the other side is the fierce and determined Red Turban Army.

The Yuan army fought bravely and swore to live and die with Jinsha Pass.

The Red Turban Army pursued and fought fiercely, vowing to kill all the Yuan troops in the city!

Blood stained the entire Jinsha Pass.

The Yuan army was defeated and retreated, and finally the city gate was broken by the Han army.

The Yuan troops in the city fled from Jinsha Pass one after another.

Chen Youliang snorted coldly, swung his knife and hacked to death a Yuan soldier in front of him, and then ordered to annihilate the Yuan army in Jinsha Pass City, leaving no one behind.

The Yuan army in the city only escaped more than 100 people in the end, and they were all wounded.

In this battle, Jinsha Pass was completely wiped out by the Han army, and all the counties and towns near Jinsha Pass surrendered to the Han army, and the Han army gained a foothold in Yunnan and established a position to continue to penetrate into Yunnan.

The nearby Yuan troops fled one by one, and no one dared to come to recover Jinsha Pass, for fear of being slaughtered by the Han army.

As soon as Jinsha Pass was lost, Chen Youliang planned to lead the Han army to drive straight into Dali City.

However, the Liang king of Yunnan, Bazara Valmi, also reacted quickly, and immediately sent a force of troops and horses to attack, trying to recapture Jinsha Pass and drive Chen Youliang out of Yunnan.

"These dog Tartars don't do what they can." After Chen Youliang learned of this situation, he immediately took the initiative to attack and ambushed and killed the Yuan army halfway.

Huo'er, the general of the Yuan Army, has no courage and no strategy, all by virtue of his identity as the younger brother of King Liang, where is Chen Youliang's opponent?

After only fighting less than three battles, Huo'er was killed by Chen Youliang without flowering, and the remaining Yuan army was even more defeated.

"Spread my will, order all the departments to sweep the surrounding counties and towns, and anyone who refuses to submit to my Han will be killed." Chen Youliang looked at the corpses of the Yuan army all over the ground and said.

In just two days, seven or eight counties and towns fell under Chen Youliang's control, and they also captured many Yuan prisoners.

Chen Youliang treated these captives leniently, not only exempting them from capital crimes, but also giving them weapons and armor to integrate into his own army.

Chen Youliang not only treated the prisoners leniently, but also ordered that all civilians along the way should be punished.

Every time a city is conquered, it is ordered that half of the grain and grass be distributed to the poor people around it.

In less than a month, the reputation of the Han army's benevolence and righteousness spread throughout northern Yunnan.

The people along the way were very supportive of these Red Turban troops from Sichuan.

And during this time, there was no chaos in any place, so that the expansion of the Han army was very smooth.

For most of the northern part of Yunnan, Chen Youliang took it down without much effort.

The march of the Han Red Turban Army was like a bamboo, and immediately set off a panic in Kunming, Dali and other places.

Many people feel that Meng Yuan may really be finished.

The king of Liang, Bazarawal, was very anxious, and his subordinates no longer had the strength to resist Chen Youliang, so he could only count on Duan Gong, the governor of Yunnan who guarded Dali.

"Come on, prepare the horses!"

Bazara Valmi immediately led his own soldiers towards Dali City.

In Dali City, Duan Gong was sitting in the palace.

Duan Gong is about forty years old, with a Chinese face and a burly figure.

At this time, his brows were tightly locked, since he heard the news that Jinsha Pass had been breached, Duan Gong was very worried in his heart.

The loose rule of the Mongols allowed the hereditary governor of the Duan clan in Dali to continue to stand firm in Yunnan.

And once Chen Youliang's Han army is killed, he will definitely not give Dali Duan this kind of preferential treatment again.

Especially after the army sent by King Bazara Valmi of Liang was defeated by Chen Youliang.

Duan Gong felt even more pressured, and only his soldiers and horses in the entire Yunnan could resist Chen Youliang.

Just as Duan Gong was thinking about how to deal with Chen Youliang, a slave from outside immediately came in to report.

"Chief, King Liang is here!"

As soon as Duan Gong heard this, he immediately went out to greet him.

As soon as he went out, Duan Gong saw that the king of Liang, Bazara Valmi and others, were beating several people in Dali City.

"You people must be the spies of the red turban thieves!"

"Hit me hard!"

"Dare to spread rumors that there are 300,000 red turban thieves?! Even if it is a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general, Chen Youliang cannot have 300,000 people! ”

The Liang King of the Great Yuan Dynasty, Bazarawal, said secretly.

In less than half a month, Chen Youliang crossed the Yangtze River and led the army into Yunnan.

The news that 300,000 soldiers of the Han Dynasty were approaching the city made Dali City panic.

Today, several Dali residents have heard hearsay, claiming that the Han Emperor Chen Youliang has led an army of 300,000 to a place fifty miles north of Dali City.

"Your Highness, lock these people up first, and then let Your Highness deal with them later." Duan Gong hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded him.

Duan Gong is a descendant of the emperor of Dali, after the Mongols destroyed the Dali Kingdom, the Duan family was the hereditary governor of Dali, Duan Gong was the tenth governor of Dali, and the Great Yuan Dynasty also awarded him as the governor of Chengwu and Menghua Prefecture.

Bazara Valmi came to Dali this time to urge Duan Gong to send troops to resist Chen Youliang.

"Hmph, then do you still need to ask, naturally it is beheading to show the public!" Bazaravaremi said hatefully.

"Your Highness......" Duan Gong hesitated for a moment, and stopped talking.

"What? Do you have something to say? Bazaravaalmi looked at Duan Gong and asked.

Duan Gong nodded, and then said, "Your Highness, the last general thinks that this matter needs to be considered in the long run. ”

"Oh, what do you mean?" Bazara Valmy asked curiously.

"Your Highness, now the people are panicking, if you kill too much, I am afraid that it will further fuel the momentum of the red turban thief Chen Youliang, after all, he has been advocating his 'benevolence and love for the people' since he entered Yunnan, we still don't kill too much, save losing people's hearts!" Duan Gong said.
