"Kill!

！ ”

On the ninth day of October, with the sound of shouting and killing, the mighty Tusi soldiers and horses went to Bijie, Guiyang, Chishui, Zunyi, Xuzhou, Luzhou and other places.

The Extravagant Rebellion officially broke out, and An Bangyan took the lead in launching a rebellion, calling himself the "King of Luodian", while Extravagant Chongming was unwilling to follow and called himself the "King of Daliang".

Under their call and fornication, in just five days, hundreds of Tusi responded, and more than 100,000 rebels attacked in the northeast, north, southwest, and northwest of Guizhou.

Under such urgency, Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of the five provinces, personally rushed to Luzhou County in the north of the Yangtze River before the war, and asked Sun Chuanting, Wu Aheng, Yang Wenyue and other troops to hold the pass and wait for reinforcements.

He also ordered Qin Liangyu to hold Zunyi, Sinan, Tongren, Chenzhou and other places, and Hong Chengchou went to Zunyi Erlangba and Hailongtun.

At the same time, Zhu Xieyuan summoned Luo Gang, Long'an, Songpan and other troops to come to the aid quickly, and ordered the soldiers and horses of the Guangxi Metropolitan Division to defend the pass, and ordered the Qianguo Mansion Mu Changzuo to quickly lead the troops to garrison Qujing Mansion in Yunnan.

In addition, he transferred 10,000 stone of grain, rewarded Mu Zeng, who led the troops in Dongchuan, and ordered Mu Zeng to rush to Wusa at the end of the month, and after repelling the rebels, he went to Bijie and Sun Chuanting to hold Bijie and wait for a counterattack.

But no matter how properly arranged, it is also a fact that the Ming army is smaller than the rebels.

Eight hundred miles of urgent military reports were constantly sent to his eucalyptus, and he dealt with them in an orderly manner, while the front line was a battle.

"Put!"

A tall Confucian general dressed in armor waved his hand, and then dozens of Francophone cannons were aimed at the rebels who were constantly pushing siege equipment in front of the head of Kaiya Post City, and white smoke was released and stone bullets were fired.

A pound of stone bullets pierced through the Lu bus and turned into ricochetic bullets to kill many rebels besieging the city, among which the Yi soldiers wearing iron armor carried sandbags on their backs and accumulated soil into mountains, in a vain attempt to fill the moat of the Kaiya Station.

"Governor, there are many thieves and soldiers, so let's transfer the soldiers and horses in the rear to support!"

Kai Crow Post City Pass, a guerrilla as a rebel, asked for the tall Confucian general, and this Confucian general was Sun Chuanting.

At present, there are only 2,000 people in Kaiyayi, and they are facing 4,000 Yi soldiers and 3,000 native soldiers under An Bangyan, a total of 7,000 people.

Faced with the situation of 8,000 against 7,000, and the enemy army still had follow-up reinforcements, Sun Chuanting not only did not panic, but also divided his 8,000 troops into four teams.

Two groups went to Chishuiwei, one assisted Chishuiwei to defend the Chishui River, and the other went north to Mani Mountain to resist the southward movement of troops and horses of Yu Chongming.

A group commanded by him came to guard the Kai Crow Post this morning, leaving 2,000 men and horses to garrison the Qixing Pass.

I have to say that Sun Chuanting was very bold, and in the face of disadvantages, he dared to divide his troops everywhere to help Chishuiwei and Pushi guard.

The key thing is that the 2,000 troops of Kai Ya Post were also scattered by him among the four stone forts outside the city, and there were less than 1,000 people in the city.

This situation represents the pressure he needs to face.

Yongning Prefecture's six Tusi Aminong commanded 10,000 troops to the north, and six days later they will arrive at Kaiyayi.

When the time comes, they need to use 2,000 men and horses to defend the attack of more than 20,000 people.

The current An Xiaoliang is just an appetizer, and what Sun Chuanting is more worried about is Guiyang Mansion......

Song Wanhua and An Bangyan led nearly 20,000 troops, attacking Guiyang from east to west, and according to Sun Chuanting's knowledge, Guiyang had only 6,000 soldiers and horses, and under the attack of 20,000 troops, I don't know how long they could hold out......

In addition, if Chongming sent troops to Luzhou and Xuzhou and Zunyi, can Yang Wenyue, Wu Aheng, and Hong Chengchou stop it?

In addition to these two issues, Sun Chuanting had nothing else to worry about, as for whether the rebels would enter Yunnan, Guangxi, and Huguang.

He wasn't worried about that.

Entering Yunnan and Guangxi, with the strength of the Ming army, as long as the reinforcements from Muzeng and northwest Sichuan arrive, they will soon be pacified.

As for Huguang, there are 20,000 troops under Qin Liangyu in Shizhu, I am afraid that at present, this old general has divided his troops to defend various key roads, and before Song Wanhua and An Bangyan did not take Guiyang, Huguang has no worries.

"How much rations are left in the granary?"

Sun Chuanting asked Xiang Kaiyayi guerrilla, and the other party also responded:

"There are still 7,400 stones, and Governor Zhu has already transferred 20,000 stones of grain from Chengdu and 3,000 taels of silver to the south, and he can reach Qixingguan in five days."

"Good!" Sun Chuanting cheered up a little, clenched the long sword at his waist, looked at the rebels under the city, and said without shock:

"As long as there is food and silver, the rebels don't want to take a step beyond the Kai Crow Post!"

"Putting ......"

"Bang bang bang-"

The cannon rang out again, and the rebels all over the mountains continued to attack the city, and in the interval between defending the city, the tall Sun Chuanting simply broke the original defenders' view of civilian officials at Kaiyayi.

The four-foot-long long knife was like a short knife in Sun Chuanting's hands, and the two-foot golden gourd long hammer was similar to a short hammer.

The tall figure of almost two meters walked back and forth on the wall, but whenever one place was broken, Sun Chuanting picked up the hammer, as if he had entered a no-man's land.

For the Yi soldiers, who are about five feet tall, Sun Chuanting is like a prehistoric creature, and he can knock over several people without the personal guards behind him.

The long sword at his waist was four feet long, like a sword from a horse, which made people's scalp tingle.

An Xiaoliang, the rebel general outside the city, looked at the Yi soldiers who kept falling at the head of the city, who had been constantly injured by artillery, and Lu Gongche who was pulled down by the ballista rope, and his heart was full of anger.

It had only been half an hour since the start of the war, and the army had already suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, which was really unbearable.

"Mingjin retreats!"

As soon as An Xiaoliang spoke, the sound of gold suddenly sounded in all directions, and the rebels retreated like a tide, leaving only the city in disarray and the blood at the head of the city.

The burning Lu bus, the moat filled with sand, the faces of the soldiers at the head of the city are covered with blood, the corpses under the city are all over the field, and the smell of meat is pervasive, which makes people sick.

An Xiaoliang retired from the army, and Sun Chuanting counted the dead and wounded, a total of 123 people were killed and 145 were wounded.

Fortunately, most of them are slightly injured and can be injured to fight, otherwise I am afraid that the soldiers and horses of Qixingguan will really have to be transferred to support.

In the face of such casualties, Sun Chuanting's heart sank, but he couldn't take a break, and returned to the city to write a military report to Luzhou County despite several knife wounds on his body.

When he was fighting, hundreds of miles away from the Qingxi River in Xuzhou, he was also experiencing a fight.

Yang Wenyue, like most of the Wenchen, wore official uniforms and gave orders in an orderly manner in the army on the north bank of the Qingxi River.

On the Qingxi River, a pontoon bridge with thousands of soldiers and horses poured in, and Yang Wenyue successfully hindered the 10,000 Yi soldiers under the command of Fan Long, a general of the Ming Dynasty, with fortifications such as sheep's horn walls, car camps, and earthen pit spikes.

The artillery on the chariot kept firing, sending the Yi soldiers on the pontoon bridge into the water.

Fan Long on the south bank saw that the army could not cross the river, and he also said angrily:

"Bring the iron cannon up!"

As he spoke, thirteen thousand-pound Yongle iron cannons were pushed to the shore, and then began to ignite and fill stone shells, firing at the Ming troops on the opposite bank.

The whistling stone projectiles swept through the sky and smashed on the chariot, but it shook the chariot and did not break it.

After all, the Yongle Iron Cannon was a product of two hundred years ago, and even if it was poured now, its range and power were completely inferior to those of the Fur Rang Machine and the Great General Cannon.

Just waiting for Yang Wenyue to react, the Ming army's Fulong machine artillery hit the Hongwu iron artillery position 100 meters away from the river like a shower.

After several ricochets, the gunners were hit and killed and dozens of wounded, which made Fan Long grit his teeth and order the artillery to be withdrawn, continue to send troops to attack, and seize the river.

After all, Yang Wenyue still has to return to defend Xuzhou County, and when the gunpowder is exhausted, he will retreat, and he will not fight them to the death.

Thinking of this, Fan Long beckoned: "Send Han pawns and remove the Yi soldiers!" ”

"Yes!" The adjutant general responded, and immediately asked people to withdraw the Yi soldiers and replace them with Han soldiers.

At this time, the gunpowder of the four thousand soldiers and horses led by Yang Wenyue was also exhausted, and seeing that the formation was unstable, he immediately led the way:

"Mingjin collects the troops, and the whole army retreats to the C-shaped sentry hall of the Jianwu Institute!"

"Yes!" The deputy general responded, and then led more than 500 people to the C-shaped sentry hall, and Yang Wenyue led 3,000 people to retreat to the north.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the C-shaped post also began to retreat, the Han soldiers attacked the fortifications, quickly stabilized the position, Fan Long also ordered the army to cross the river, camp on the spot, and wait for the early tomorrow morning to march to the Jianwu Institute.

Yang Wenyue used to fight and retreat along the way, constantly using the terrain to consume Fan Long's soldiers and horses, and this strategy made Fan Long deflated.

Compared with Yang Wenyue, Wu Aheng did not give an inch because Zhu Xieyuan was in Luzhou County, a hundred miles away from the rear, and stationed 4,000 troops at Shihu Pass to resist the attack of 16,000 soldiers and horses led by Yu Chongming.

Shihu Pass has become a Shura field, the moat has been filled with sand, and the Lu bus and cloud car have fallen under the city.

The crash was burned at the city gate by the fire oil flowing from Shihukou above the pass.

The artillery was fired everywhere behind the horse-faced female wall, and on the long pass, the rebels tried in vain to climb the cloud car to the city wall, but they were not lightly injured by the wood and the boiling water.

finally got to the city, and there were wolf teeth waiting for them.

Although it seems that this kind of guarding is very effective, it can be said that it is 108,000 miles worse than a few months ago, when Qin Bangping guarded Shenyang City.

Qin Bangping directly established fortifications at the mouth of the moat, gathered troops outside the city and began to reduce the number of enemy troops, while Wu Aheng and Sun Chuanting only knew that they were guarding the pass, but Yang Wenyue still dared to go out of the city to spend a little bit.

This is not to say that Yang Wenyue is more than two, but that the information held by the two sides is different.

After all, Yang Wenyue is a Beijing official, and he knows a lot of examples of defending the city in Liaodong, and he also knows that it will not work to defend the city.

On the contrary, Sun Chuanting and Wu Aheng were county commanders before, so they lost this experience.

However, such behavior also shows in disguise that compared with Liaodong, the southwest battlefield is completely incomparable.

If Nurhachi planned to raise troops, he would inevitably first get a large number of internal responses, and then show the enemy weakness, give full play to the characteristics of the Yi soldiers, fight a mountain movement battle between the mountains and fields, consume the vitality of the Ming army, and then attack the city.

On the other hand, the likes of Xuan Chongming, An Bangyan, and even Yang Yinglong still only want to fight steadily, and doing so will only be consumed by the Ming army.

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.

Once they can't take the passages, important towns and passes out of Guizhou in a wave of offensives, their uprising will not hurt the Ming Dynasty.

Wu Aheng was defending to the death, regardless of the death or injury of the soldiers, because as long as Shihu Pass was broken, the whole of Sichuan would be slaughtered by the influx of Yi soldiers.

He is different from Yang Wenyue and Sun Chuanting, he still has Zhu Xieyuan behind him, and Zhu Xieyuan is transferring the Tusi in the northwest of Sichuan, once the Tusi arrives, he will be able to counterattack immediately!

"Kill!

！ ”

Wu Aheng raised his sword and roared, his voice resounding through the sky, and hundreds of miles away, there were people who roared like him.

Fan Hu under the command of Hao Chongming commanded 8,000 troops to invade Zunyi, but encountered the Waterloo Battle of life in Erlangba.

As soon as the 8,000 rebels forcibly crossed the Chishui River, they heard the roar of the sky, and dozens of stone bullets smashed into the front army on the east bank of the Chishui River like a shower.

On a slightly leveled hilltop plain, Hong Chengchou was dressed in an official uniform and tied with a black cloak, overlooking the rebels.

I saw that the Ming army wearing a mandarin duck jacket was killed from the two mountains, and the rebels broke the formation and killed while the rebels were not firmly established.

"Withdraw to the West Bank!"

On the west bank, Fan Hu rode on horseback, making Mingjin retreat, while the Yi soldiers on the east bank had already become a pot of porridge.

Hearing the sound of gold, a group of people ran to the pontoon, but suddenly heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves.

Looking sideways, hundreds of cavalry rushed to scatter the soldiers of the front army who were running without formation, and then the Ming cavalry split the front army and the pontoon bridge and poured fire oil, threw the torches into the pontoon bridge, and lit it.

Thousands of soldiers and horses were trapped on the east bank, Fan Hu's eyes were red, and the soldiers were about to cross the bridge to kill.

At this time, I suddenly heard shouts of killing coming from the top of the mountain not far from the west bank.

"There are ambushes on the West Bank too! Remove! ”

As soon as Fan Hu reined in his horse, he immediately led the troops to retreat.

Seeing Fan Hu leading more than 6,000 soldiers and horses to retreat, Hong Chengchou laughed and said:

"The first credit is mine!"

"Prepare wisely, set up ambush troops to attack Fan Hu's front army, and then arrange suspicious soldiers to make Fan Hu think that reinforcements are coming from the west bank, and he is afraid of being attacked from both sides and retreats!" The staff next to him looked at Hong Chengchou with adoring eyes and said his arrangement.

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he also chuckled and said:

"Okay, build the capital of the rebels on the east coast, and report the number of the first level to the military department and the military department, the first credit of the southwest rebellion seems to be in our hands."

"Yes!" The staff admired and saluted in return, and Hong Chengchou also brushed his sleeves away, as if the thousands of rebels on the east bank were already turtles in the urn.

I have to say that he is indeed the first merit among the generals, plus the ambush attack, the number of heads won was immediately played by the Chongqing military officials.

The battlefield conditions in northwest and northeast Guizhou were very good, and Qin Liangyu, his son Ma Xianglin, nephews Qin Gongming, Qin Yiming, and daughter-in-law Zhang Fengyi guarded the road into Huguang like an iron bucket.

The Tusi offensive in northeastern Guizhou was repeatedly frustrated, and could only retreat to Shiqian and Sizhou to wait for reinforcements from Song Wanhua and Hao Chongming.

However, compared to the northeast and northwest, the south is not good.

The Tusi in the south swept the Shengjing Pass in Yunnan in the west, and knocked Sizhou and Liuzhou in the south, and the soldiers were difficult to resist, but fortunately, the Guangxi Dusi recruited the Guangxi Tusi to resist, otherwise I am afraid that the two state capitals will be captured in just a few days.

In desperation, Zhu Xieyuan could only go up and ask Liangguang Hu Yingtai to lead the troops to resist the southern invasion of Tusi.

It's just that Zhu Xieyuan doesn't know that Da Ming is anxious about one thing right now.

"Mother......

"Mother...... Where are you ......?"

The water was steaming, and in the thick fog, a child covered in yellow mud was barefoot, and his head was full of yellow mud and staggered in the water.

All around, there were corpses lying in the stagnant water, attracting many flies and mosquitoes, and many crows came from above the sky.

The scene of the child struggling to move forward in the yellow muddy water, surrounded by dead bodies, is particularly terrifying.

After walking for a long time, perhaps feeling hungry, the child pushed open a door to find something to eat, but only saw the mud wall that had been washed away by the flood.

He could only climb onto a heavy wooden table, lay on it, curled up, and slowly fell asleep.

In his sleep, he seemed to hear someone talking.

"There's a kid here! Let him be taken down, and the others will continue to march to block the breach! ”

The sound of a loud horn sounded, and the child's brows furrowed, and when he opened his eyes dimly, he saw a coarse cloth attack, ravaged his face, wiped it clean, and then withdrew.

"Child, where is your father?"

The coarse cloth was removed, revealing a simple face, a man in his early twenties, and the mandarin duck jacket he was wearing indicated his identity.

"I don't know." The child looked down at the kettle on the soldier's waist, and when the soldier saw this, he took the kettle, and took out the flatbread from his bosom and said:

"Eat this first, I'll send you to the low slope, where someone will take care of you, maybe your father and mother will also be there."

With that, the soldier picked him up, and then, dripping knee-high water, he led the man out of the village and slowly climbed a low slope.

It's a pity that the child looked around and saw only the numb victims, but not his father.

"Zhao Zhong! Leave the child here, hurry up and go with us to block the break, Mr. Sun told everyone to go. ”

Suddenly, a group of men and horses in the distance shouted at the soldiers, and the soldiers also put down the children, and after telling the people to take care of the children, they followed the people, picked up two baskets of soil and walked towards the distance.

When they arrived at the point of the breach, they saw knee-high water gushing out of the gap, which was one foot high and hundreds of paces long, and the water carried a thick layer of silt and river sand, which made people very uncomfortable.

"Wait for someone to find something to pile the soil high, wait a minute, throw sandbags first and then fill the soil!"

The soldier heard the familiar voice and looked up, on a crumbling earthen wall in between, his own chief soldier Sun Yingyuan was commanding the soldiers and horses.

"The front army and the Chinese army fill sandbags!"

With Sun Yingyuan's order, more than 4,000 people in the two guards pushed a cart and pushed it from both sides to the mouth of the Yellow River.

"After the military sandbags fill the space under the car!"

Sun Yingyuan commanded the twelve thousand households, and in an instant, more than 3,000 soldiers and horses filled the sandbags on the board car into the gap under the board car.

As the gap was in the sky, Sun Yingyuan shouted to let the left and right soldiers and horses fill in the soil, and everyone rushed up.

In just a quarter of an hour, the breach was filled with carts, sandbags, and mud to create a levee more than 20 steps wide and more than 100 steps long.

The water is slowly dissipating, but at the same time the water in the river is rising, about to submerge the one-metre-high gap.

However, the army was already prepared, and threw sandbags on them, and then compacted them with sand and stone grinds, and added boiled glutinous rice and lime.

They were in a race against time, and in a quarter of an hour, all of them felt that their arms were too heavy to lift heavy objects.

"! You have to work as a soldier......"

"Don't fuck nonsense, the work assigned by His Royal Highness, it's over, wait until you go back to the capital, let the big cook add two taels of mutton, and block your mouth!"

I heard some soldiers scolding and scolding, and some thousands and hundreds of households laughed and scolded.

But this kind of laughter and scolding could not restore the physical strength of all the soldiers after all, and when their physical strength was unsustainable, the Yellow River water gushed out.

Seeing this scene, Sun Yingyuan also took off his armor and stomach, and personally went down to the field to carry sandbags to plug the gap, but even so, it was only two feet high to build the embankment, which was far less than the speed of the water rushing out.

"There! Hurry up, hurry up! ”

When the army was desperate, there were footsteps and shouts from behind him.

Sun Yingyuan, who was carrying sandbags, and some soldiers turned their heads to look behind them, only to see the people dripping with muddy water, carrying mud on their shoulders, carrying sandbags, and rushing up on a scale of almost 10,000.

"Master Jun, work hard! People from more than a dozen villages within a radius of 100 miles are here! ”

An old man in his fifties was carrying soil and shouting.

With the help of tens of thousands of people, the flow of the Yellow River was quickly curtailed, and the embankment was continuously raised, little by little, until it was completely capped.

"It's over......"

When the last stone grind was pressed, the soldiers and people on the embankment were covered with muddy water, like mud people.

They looked at each other, then at themselves, and finally showed their big white teeth and smiled at each other.

For many years, the people and the officers and soldiers have never been so harmonious, and for a while, the grievances of the soldiers against the people have disappeared, and the stereotypical image of the officers and soldiers of the past has also been much better.

Sun Yingyuan lay in the muddy water, and as the water level of the muddy water slowly dropped, the execution port was finally blocked.

However, Sun Yingyuan, who had been lying on a stick of incense for a while, did not have time to rest, and then stood up and shouted to the thousands of households around him:

"The whole army will bury the pot and cook, and after half an hour, go to Quy Nhon Ji, where there are still three executions!"

"Yes!" Although the thousands of households are very tired, they also know that time waits for no one.

On the fifth day of Sun Yingyuan's southward journey, he received a decree from the emperor, ordering them to go to Lingbi and block the breaches along the way.

For this reason, Sun Yingyuan led the army non-stop, and it took ten days to arrive at Lingbi, and in three days, four breaches were blocked.

At present, there are only three executions left, and hundreds of thousands of people in Nanzhili can be saved.

It's just that the life of the people will be very difficult in the future, and most of the grain hoarded in the autumn harvest will be swept away by the flood, and I am afraid that the imperial court will have to think about how to provide disaster relief.

"Commander!"

Suddenly, a thousand households ran over, and Sun Yingyuan saw him coming, and also pulled him to a place where there was no one next to him.

"How?" Sun Yingyuan frowned and asked, while Qianhu also gritted his teeth and said angrily:

"This section of the embankment was not in accordance with the standards of the imperial court at all, and it was not properly maintained in the future, which led to the breach!"

"What about other places? Is it like Lingbi? Sun Yingyuan had a bad premonition in his heart, but fortunately, Qianhu shook his head and said:

"Not really, only the embankment from Suzhou and Lingbi to Baiyangkou is not good, I am afraid that after the breach is blocked, the imperial court will have to send someone to repair the embankment."

"What a bastard!" Sun Yingyuan scolded, angry in his heart.

When Huaibei was hungry, he lamented that corrupt officials were harming the country, and he didn't want them to go to the southwest to quell the rebellion, but he stopped for half a month again because of corrupt officials.

The situation in the southwest is dangerous, and without their tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it is possible to let more than 100,000 people in several counties in a state die at the hands of Tusi, and let the imperial court spend hundreds of thousands of more silver.

The two-hundred-mile embankment, even if it does not use forced labor and pays wages on a daily basis, will only cost fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver.

At present, because of these 50,000 or 60,000 taels, hundreds of thousands of people have been affected, and then the silver taels spent on disaster relief for these people may need hundreds of thousands.

"Damn it!" Sun Yingyuan gritted his teeth and squeezed out these two words, and then said to Qianhu:

"Tell the Jinyi Guards of the Accompanying Army, and play Banzai and Your Highness."

"Kill some corrupt officials and corrupt officials, it is impossible for the court to raise them to wipe their butts!"

"Yes!" Hearing this, Qianhu hurriedly told Jinyiwei who was with the army about the matter, and Jinyiwei got the news and sent someone to the capital quickly.

Half an hour later, Sun Yingyuan and the others dragged their tired bodies and continued to march towards other breaches, the difference was that this time there were people who volunteered to follow them to make up for the breach......

This chapter is a bit miscellaneous, so you need to look at the map, and the southwest war map is in the comment area.
