Chapter 282: The Battle Breaks Out
After the combat mission was issued, the Chu army began to act.
On April 22, Liu Fangming, the general soldier of Ningxia, led his army south from Kaizhou, and the troops divided into two routes, all the way to Zazuosi, and all the way to storm the rear of the Qin army's defense line on the Nanmen River.
At the same time, Dingnan Hou Cao Dahao and Zhang Zisheng also led their troops to attack the Qin army's defense line from the front.
The two sides engaged in an artillery battle across the rushing river, and countless shells whizzed over the river, and then fell heavily into the enemy army on the opposite bank, smashing over a large number of people and horses.
Connecting the two sides of the Nanmen River is a stone bridge built in the early Ming Dynasty, it is said that this was once the bridge that the Duke of Qianguo walked on when he entered Guiyang, but now the Chu army is constantly rushing to the bridge and killing the other side.
And the Qin army on the other side of the arrow fired in unison, guns and cannons fired in unison, under the intensive firepower of the Qin army, the attacking Chu army fell one after another, a few hours after the attack began, the bridge deck of the stone bridge has been covered with the corpses of the Chu army, blood flowed like a river, and the rushing Nanmen River was even dyed red.
Cao Dahao and Zhang Zisheng's soldiers and horses were not systematically trained elite soldiers, so after a high-intensity onslaught that lasted for several hours, the Chu army finally could not bear the huge casualties and stopped the attack, and the two sides could only continue to fire at each other with artillery. @η²Ύε\/Shuge*First update~~
At the end of the day, just a rough count, the Qin and Chu armies fired more than 1,000 shells at each other over the Nanmen River - because both sides fired the most primitive solid shells, so in the back, both armies directly stuffed the shells fired by the other side into the muzzle and fired at the enemy.
The battle at the Nanmen River was so fierce that Liu Fangming's Ningxia army also met with strong resistance.
Although Zazuosi is not a place with high walls and strong cities, in order to defend Guiyang, Wang Shangli personally sat here, and the Qin army guarding the city was also an elite old camp from Sichuan that accompanied him into Yungui.
They resisted stubbornly, swore not to retreat, in order to repel the Chu army, they did everything they could, whether it was a stone, a rolling log, gold juice, fire oil or a thunderbolt, everything that could cause damage to the enemy army was equipped by them.
Under the stubborn resistance of the Qin army, the Chu army could only barely climb the city wall in the rain of arrows, but they had no chance of gaining a foothold at all, and were soon repulsed.
In the fierce battle, these Ningxia soldiers from the border areas were also red-eyed, and they directly fell into hand-to-hand combat with the Qin army after rushing up the city wall.
In order to be able to kill their enemies, they used all kinds of weapons that could be called weapons, whether they were swords, swords, spears, daggers, or the strongest teeth of human beings, everything that could kill and injure the enemy was used in battle.
The battle was so fierce that after the battle was over, the soldiers of the two armies hugged each other and went to death together, and after cleaning up the battlefield, the Qin army was horrified to find that many Chu soldiers were still biting the vital parts of their robes before they died, and many soldiers in the Qin army forcibly jumped off the city wall with the enemy, and the two fell to their deaths.
The first siege lasted only half a day, and the corpses of soldiers of both armies were quickly piled up under the walls of Zazos, and the air was filled with the strong stench of gold juice, mixed with the thick smell of blood that made people desperate.
Only this half-day siege made Wang Shangli and Liu Fangming, who were in charge of the battle, full of horror, and they both realized that the enemy they were facing should not be underestimated, this was a difficult opponent, and it was also an admirable opponent.
However, the fatal thing is that the old battalion soldiers with the most outstanding combat effectiveness of the Qin army have been consumed too much in the continuous battles, and if the last old battalion is buried in a tragic battle, the Qin army can only send new recruits who lack actual combat to the battlefield.
Although the recruits will also become experienced veterans after a series of fierce battles, the Qin army no longer has enough time and space for them to slowly transform.
Compared with the brutality of the northern battlefield, the fighting in the central and southern parts of the country was somewhat calmer.
Sun Kewang and Su Dingyuan had no intention of rashly launching an attack, as the commanders of the two armies, they were both calm and calm, so that there were only small fights and small-scale frictions in the central battlefield, and it was more of a game between the scouts of the two sides.
In the south, the Chu army did not launch a fierce offensive, in order to cover up their small private actions, the Chu army and the Qin army launched a fierce artillery battle across the Duni River, and launched a feint, so that the Qin army did not dare to relax.
In this context, Liu Zhenguo personally took a few personal soldiers to pretend to be ordinary people to touch the Dunijiang River, went to Xiaocheng Fansi, and successfully met with Xiaocheng Fantusi.

Subsequently, Liu Zhenguo sincerely persuaded Xiao Cheng Fan Tusi to surrender, his identity as a savior and the growing strength of the Chu army made Tusi very moved, but the Qin army around him still made him dare not make up his mind.
Tusi is responsible for his own people, if he is anyway, and the Chu army does not cross the river in time to reinforce, then he and his tribe will be annihilated by the Qin army that reacts as soon as possible. @η²Ύε\/Shuge Error-free Debut~~
Therefore, Xiao Cheng Fan Toast hesitated and did not make up his mind.
Soon, however, another thing pushed him to agree to Liu Zhenguo's persuasion.
The Guangxi Chu army attacked.
Although Su Dingyuan did not discuss with Guo Zhiqi in advance, the large-scale war that broke out in Guizhou still reached Guo Zhiqi's ears.
After the murderous Duxian learned about the war in Guizhou, he knew that this was the best time for the Chu army in Guangxi to make meritorious contributions, and Feng Shuangli, who had been confronting them, began to rush to Guiyang to help, so Guo Zhiqi decided to lead the army into the war.
Under his dispatch of troops, the Guangxi Chu army launched a northern expedition against Guizhou in two ways.
Guo Zhiqi, the governor of Liangguang, personally took command, and Chen Tiance, the deputy commander-in-chief of Guangdong, was the deputy general, leading the 1st and 2nd brigades of the 2nd Town from Anlongsi to the north with the intention of intercepting Feng Shuangli who was heading towards Guiyang.
Feng Shuangli saw the Chu army chasing after him, and was afraid that leading them to Guiyang would lead to unfavorable warfare, so he had to stop the march, retreat to Zhenningzhou, and confront the Chu army.
Wang Xing, the commander-in-chief of Guangdong, led his headquarters and the 3rd Brigade from Sicheng Prefecture to the north, crossed the Hongshui River and took Dahuasi directly.
The main defensive forces of the Qin army were gathered on the line from the Dunijiang River to the Lushansi, and although the Qin army of Dahuasi resisted stubbornly, it still held out for only a few days under the onslaught of the Chu army before the city was broken.
Dahuasi fell, Wang Lin hurriedly led the army to move to Lushansi, personally fortified around Lushansi, and organized the Guangxi Chu army to continue northward, and as soon as Wang Lin moved, the attention of the Qin army in Dunijiang was also attracted to the past, and Xiaocheng Fantusi's originally wavering mind also began to liven up.
Finally, on April 25, Xiao Cheng Fan Toast finally made up his mind to do it anyway.
But what they didn't expect was that their movements had been watched by Cheng Fansi and Shangmaqiao Division on both sides, and as soon as Xiao Chengfan Tusi decided to do it anyway, the Qin Army Tusi on both sides launched an attack on Xiao Chengfan, who was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.
But fortunately, the Chu army on the other side always paid attention to the Qin army's defense line, and after the Qin army had internal strife, they reacted quickly, organized a forced crossing of the Duni River, and joined the battle before Xiao Cheng Fansi was defeated.
