The C-Brigade of the Chu Army was to be mobilized from Jiangnan Province, and its men consisted of 4,320 Cossack infantrymen, who, after receiving the order to assemble, drove Nanjing from their respective cities to accept a change of clothing.

At this time, the temperature in North Korea was still extremely low, and it was still warmer than in the Jiangnan area, so the soldiers had to change into warmer winter clothes before leaving the battle to prevent combat attrition due to the local temperature after arriving in North Korea.

In addition to these more than 4,000 soldiers, four teams of sixteen rocket artillery were also ready to go, and the artillerymen were all very excited when they heard that they were going to go on an expedition to Korea - they couldn't wait to see the Qing army crushed in the roar of rocket artillery!

The army is in full swing mobilization, and the generals in charge of command have become a problem, and the generals with military talents have basically been transferred to the front line to fight, and the only generals left in Nancheng are Li Yuanyin, who served as the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

But Li Yuanyin was responsible for rebuilding Jinyiwei, and he couldn't go on an expedition, so Su Yan could only transfer a general from the front line.

Su Yan thought of the auxiliary.

Since being summoned to this world by Su Yan, Su Fu has never had time to show his military talents, so Su Yan has the heart to bring his nominal cheap cousin with him.

Therefore, Su Yan directly transferred Su from the Huguang front line back to Nanjing through the Ministry of War, and appointed him as the chief military officer of the Korean aid and the prime minister of Korean military affairs.

In addition to Su Fu, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Su also appointed Zhenhai Chen Zhaojun as the deputy commander-in-chief of the court.

After Su Fu received the order, he immediately set off to return to Nanjing, and the Korean envoy was grateful, expressing his willingness to be the guide of the army, followed by a large number of praises, which naturally did not need to be described in pen and ink.

At the same time that Su Yan announced his aid to Korea, he also urged Su Dingyuan, the governor of Huguang, and Guo Zhiqi, the governor of Liangguang, to continue to march to the two provinces of Panyun, Guizhou and Guizhou.

The two did not dare to slack off, resumed the war, and launched an advance towards the Qin army.

During this period, Guo Qi, the governor of Liangguang, received information secretly sent by Mu Tianbo, the prince of the Inner Guizhou State in Yunnan, which detailed the geometry of the Qin army in the southern border and the stationing of several major troops and horses.

The intelligence was also mixed with a handwritten letter from Mu Tianbo, who said that as long as the army entered Yunnan, he would rise up with the military generals loyal to the Ming Dynasty to respond to the Chu army.

Out of trust in Mu Tianbo, who was also a courtier of Yongli, Guo Zhiqi chose to believe Mu Tian's love letter and decided to attack Yunnan directly.

However, Guangxi and Yunnan are separated by high mountains and mountains, and there are only two main roads to choose from if you want to enter Yunnan directly.

The north road should go around Pu'an Prefecture in Guizhou, which is the same as the Nankun railway line in later generations, and the south road will enter Nanping Mansion in Annan from Longzhou, and go west along the hole road at the bottom of the east and west valleys in Nanping Mansion until it enters Lin'an Mansion in Yunnan Province (Fuzhi Jianshuizhou).

The road is naturally impassable, not to mention that Sun Kewang has deployed heavy troops on the border arteries, even if he enters Yungui, he will be surrounded by the Qin army.

Because Guo Zhiqi decisively chose the south road, he personally sat in Guangxi, made a gesture of feint attack on Guizhou, attracted the attention of the Qin army, and ordered Li Mingzhong, the marquis of Haikang, to lead the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to Nanping Mansion in the south, and take the south road to attack Lin'an Mansion.

If Mu Tianbo's intelligence was accurate, then the Qin army's defense focus was all on the border of Guangxi and Huguang, leaving only a few troops to defend in southern Yunnan.

Move to begin)

In the second half of the first month, the Chu army began to attack Guizhou, where the main force of the Qin army was entrenched, and Su Dingyuan, the governor of Huguang, dispatched generals and ordered the three-way army to storm the Qin army's defense line in Guizhou.

Although the Qin army was able to resist the rugged terrain of Guizhou at first, the Chu army's artillery was more than just direct-fire artillery - the Qin defense line collapsed after howitzers, cannons, and rocket artillery shells indiscriminately bombarded the Qin position.

The Chu army led by Su Dingyuan in the middle easily broke through the Qin defense line and captured Zhenyuan Mansion in early February, cutting off the communication between the northern and southern Qin armies.

The Qin army north of Zhenyuan saw that the retreat route was cut off, and the front was attacked by Liu Fang, the general soldier of Ningxia, and had no heart to fight again, so they surrendered to the Chu army.

Although the Qin army chose to surrender, the local Tusi did not know the current affairs so much, and divided his troops in Liu Fangming (this chapter is not finished!). )

When he was in charge of the prefecture and county, a Chu army was attacked by Tusi when it broke into Tusi, and the guerrillas led by him were killed on the spot by arrows.

When the news reached Liu Fangming's ears, the northwest man was furious, and he sent Su Ding to report the matter to him, and at the same time led a large army to conquer the guilty Tusi.

What about the terrain of the Tusi, in retaliation by the armed forces of the imperial court, almost the entire Tusi clan was slaughtered.

When Su Dingyuan learned about this, it was too late for him to stop it, but he actually had no intention of stopping it, but instead took revenge on Liu Fangming.

In fact, he has long hated Yungui Tusi, and he should conquer Tusi with fierce military means and incorporate it into the territory of the imperial court and become a subject of the imperial court.

If it weren't for the fear of attacking Tusi, who would cooperate with the Qin army and openly attack the Chu army, then as the supreme commander of the Chu army's front, he would have moved.

The situation of the Qin army in the south is also not good, although Sun Zhengqi and Wang Shangli, who are sitting here, can barely block the Chu army on the southern road for a while, but both of them often know that if they continue to hold on, they are likely to fall into the situation of being surrounded by the Chu army)

After this successive defeats, Zheng Qi's ability to resist pressure has really been trained, and he has been able to stay quiet and think in a desperate situation.

After consulting with Wang Shangli, Sun Zhengqi proposed that the army should withdraw from Liping and return to Guiyang to defend the base camp.

Facing the king's test-like inquiry, he maintained a rare calmness and said: "The strength of the Chu army is several times higher, and Dingyuan can go south at any time to cut off our retreat, if the retreat is cut off, then the tens of thousands of soldiers of our army will all be wiped out here." ”

Wang Shangli nodded and agreed with his reply, and the two agreed, and Qin immediately began to prepare to retreat, and began to retreat one after another on the sixth day of the second month.

But where could the retreat of the Qin army escape the eyes of the Chu army, seeing that the Qin army was actually preparing to retreat, Meihu Bo Lai Xun was afraid that his exploits would fly, so he immediately ordered the Qin army to advance on all fronts.

Chen Shi, a member of the Chinese army under Lai Xun, was also the first person to follow Su Yan, but he was not promoted to the knighthood because he had no outstanding military merits.

Therefore, after Lai Xun ordered to advance, Chen Shitai wore two layers of heavy armor and took the lead in launching a fierce attack on the bronze drum guards held by the Qin army.

The two sides fought fiercely for several hours, the Qin army was defeated, Chen Shitai, who was hit by two arrows, stood on the city wall with the flag of the Chu army, and behind him, many soldiers entered the acropolis and captured this place.

The loss of the Tonggu Guard was just the beginning, after Sun Zhengqi decided to retreat, the Qin army had no intention of fighting again, and the Qin army was almost completely defeated under the onslaught of the Chu army, Sun Zhengqi and Wang Shangli could only stabilize some of the soldiers and horses to retreat, and watched Liping Mansion fall in the pursuit of the Chu army.

The loss of the eastern front was faster than Sun Kewang's expectations, and he didn't expect that his son would not save the defeat with the assistance of Wang Shangli, and lost Qiandong to Chu.

At this time, the Guangxi Chu army always maintained a feint posture, but did not really launch an attack, and the veteran Sun Kewangdun noticed the clues.

He believed that the Guangxi Chu army did not really want to attack, but bluffed to contain his forces and attention.

Although he sensed Guo Zhiqi's true intentions, he did not know where the real direction of the Chu army's attack was, but the Chu army occupying Qiandong had become the biggest threat, and Sun Kewang could not be allowed to think about it, so he hurriedly led his attendants to leave the camp and return to Guiyang to sit in the town.

In the same month, Su Fu returned to Nanjing, took over the newly formed C-class brigade that was on standby in the camp in the north of the city, and after a few days of rest in Nanjing, he led the army to attack Korea with ocean-going ships anchored in the port of Shangguan.

Before Su Fu left, Su Yan personally said goodbye, he patted this cheap cousin on the shoulder, and advised: "This is a long way to go, and there are many foreign combat aircraft, don't be greedy for merit, you should take it step by step, be cautious, and remember." ”

When Su Fu heard Su Yan's advice with such concern, his heart was moved, his eyes turned red, and he hugged his fists and agreed: "(This chapter is not over!)" )

The last general will obey His Highness's instructions. ”

The people of the time praised this expedition as "the second open-air exhibition of the majesty of the country since the Emperor Shenzong came to the aid of the dynasty".

……

Guiyang Mansion, Yangxing.

After Sun Kewang returned to Guiyang, he sent troops to Duyun Mansion to guard against the Chu army, and asked Sun Zhengqi to return to Guiyang, and Wang Shangli took over military affairs.

At the same time, he sent several orders to Sichuan, hoping that Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, would miss the brotherhood and lead the army south to reinforce him.

However, Liu Wenxiu only looked at Sichuan, and Ricken ignored Sun Kewang's request, and he directly rejected Sun Kewang's request under the pretext that Sichuan was busy with affairs and had no time to divide troops to the south.

Sun Ke: Help me, save me, save me)

Liu Wenxiu: I don't.

Although Liu Wenxiu's refusal was expected by Sun Kewang, he was still quite annoyed and scolded Liu Wenxiu in the Guixing Palace, calling him a white-eyed wolf and a traitor.

But he could only get over his addiction, his cursing in Guiyang could not affect Liu Wenxiu in Sichuan at all, he could only step up the recruitment of troops in the rear of Yunnan, and sent people to lobby the Southern Tusi to participate in the war with heavy mercenary divisions.

Under Sun Kewang's money offensive, Xu Tusi chose to side with Sun Kewang, and they sent the most warlike soldiers in the clan to Guizhou to participate in the war.

Don't look at the weapons and equipment of these Tusi soldiers are not as good as the heavily armed Han Chinese, but their equipment is varied, like some ancient rattan armor soldiers, or archers equipped with poisoned arrows, and huge war elephants can be seen in the army from time to time - as an ancient biological tank, it once defeated the Qing army, and Sun Kewang has high hopes for it.

Under Sun Kewang's personal dispatch, the Qin army placed heavy troops on the front line of Duyun Mansion to prevent the Chu army from advancing westward - after the Chu army stabilized the situation in eastern Qiandong, it really attacked Duyun under the leadership of Su Dingyuan.

However, the Qin army was heavily guarded by his subordinates here, and for a time successfully blocked the attack of the Chu army, gaining time for the arrival of Qin reinforcements and recruitment.

Seeing that the offensive was blocked, Su Dingyuan ordered Liu Fangming to change his route to Banzhou and take Guiyang directly, but Banzhou Tusi had already formed a knot with Sun Kewang, and when Tusi knew that they were not the opponents of the Chu army in the face-to-face confrontation, he relied on his understanding of the ring and terrain to set up an ambush on the road that the Chu army must pass.

"There's an ambush!"

"Withdraw! Fall back! ”

When the Chu forward passed through a valley, a large number of rolls suddenly fell from the cliffs on both sides, and those rolling stones directly smashed the queue of the Chu army to pieces, and the leader of the team drew his saber and shouted loudly with the words with a Ningxia accent.

When his words fell, the soldiers under his command hurriedly raised their shields to block the falling stones overhead, and quickly withdrew in the direction they came, but fortunately, after Liu Fangming entered Banzhou, he asked his soldiers and horses to wear shirts when marching, which slowed down the march, but still protected the safety of the Chu soldiers when the Chu army attacked.

Whoosh –

At the same time as the big rolling stones fell, the figures of local Tusi warriors appeared on the cliffs on both sides, shouting words that the Chu army could not understand, while taking bows and arrows, and shooting arrows with poison at the Chu army below.

These toast archers were very skillful, and they drilled into the gap between the shields at a tricky angle, and shot directly at the soldiers below, who behaved normally at first after being hit by the arrows, but after a long time, his face turned iron-blue, his body trembled, his mouth foamed, and he fell directly to the ground.

Seeing this, the soldiers instantly understood what it represented, and the soldiers shouted, "This is a poisoned arrow!" "Retreat backwards.

The leading vanguard officer rode on his horse, and his target was extremely eye-catching, so he naturally became the target of the toast archers, who shot several arrows at him, and although the vanguard tried his best to dodge, he was still shot in the left arm by an arrow.

Although the pioneer officer reacted quickly and pulled out the poisonous arrow, the poison on the arrow cluster had already penetrated into his body, and he had just withdrawn from the safe range, and the toxin had already attacked, and the pioneer officer only felt dizzy for a while, and suddenly his eyes were dark, and he fell heavily from the horse.

This ambush is just a small microcosm of the many ambushes, in Jinbanzhou, Liu Fangming and his Ningxia soldiers are deeply ambushed by the Tusi, who do not dare to confront them head-on, and will only hide in the shadows to set up ambushes and release cold arrows (this chapter is not finished!). )

, which not only slowed down the advance of the Chu army, but also inflicted numerous losses on the Chu army.

Liu Fangming was very annoyed by the meanness of Tusi, and in a fit of rage, he directly issued an order to his soldiers to be killed-anyone who caught a Tusi, regardless of his identity, whether he had weapons or not, he would be killed!

And that's not all, as they retaliate at each village they come across, venting their anger at being ambushed.
