Everyone looked at the old governor, and Wang Hongyu also felt that what he was going to say next was very important.

Li Zheng said earnestly: "Without the use of force as a guarantee and deterrent, it is impossible to engage in education and trade alone. After this rebellion in the southwest, it is necessary to cut through the chaos quickly, and tell them the fate of resistance with the force that the thieves dare not resist.

Therefore, the southwest must be dominated by Dingyuan Hou in order to be different from the past. ”

He turned around and said solemnly to Wang Hongyu: "What the Marquis of Dingyuan did, the old man can see clearly, this is a feat that has a long-term impact on the Ming Dynasty and Huaxia.

Although I am a civil official, I only hate people like Shi Heng, Jiang Bin, and Qiu Luan, and I admire what you have done from the bottom of my heart, so the old man will try his best to cooperate, no matter where you are in the southwest or where. ”

Wang Hongyu immediately returned the salute and thanked him.

For example, Cai Fuyi, Li Zong, Zhu Xieyuan, and Baoding Governor Han Jun are all civilian officials who do not hold groups, do not exclude foreigners, have a lot of experience in military affairs, and can see the situation clearly.

Long-term practical background, let them know what society is like and what kind of people are needed. As soon as I saw what Wang Hongyu had done, I immediately felt that it was definitely not what those empty civil officials slandered.

"The matter of the southwest, I have communicated with the scholars of Guizhou, Cai Fuyi, and Zhu Xieyuan several times before, and now there are many insights, wait for us to break the thieves in the mountains first, and break the thieves in the hearts of the southwest of the Ming Dynasty together."

"Good!"

Governor Li Zheng specially introduced the current situation in Guiyang to Wang Hongyu.

Guiyang is located in a plain between the mountains, especially in the northwest and southeast, the mountains are dense and the forests are very lush.

In the east-west direction, there is the most critical horizontal main road in Guizhou, connecting Huguang and Yunnan.

There is a road to Zunyi in the north and then to the Yangtze River in the north.

At present, Ahn Bangyan's 100,000-strong army is mainly concentrated in the west and south of the city. The enemy forces in the east and north of the city were slightly weaker, but they also formed an encirclement posture.

In short, it is completely surrounded by enemy forces.

Wang Hongyu smiled contemptuously, this An Bangyan's encirclement hides a small scheme.

It seems that it is deliberately slightly weaker in the north and east of the city, but in fact, it is hoped that the Ming army in the city will break through from these two directions.

If the prediction is correct, there must be an ambush in one of the two directions.

However, what do I break through~

The 100,000 miscellaneous soldiers are like chickens and dogs, and I, Wang Hongyu, beat you personally.

Looking at the west of the city on the sand table, that is, where the main general An Bangyan was, Wang Hongyu had already prepared.

"No one knows about the entry of the townsmen, right?"

Li Zheng replied: "No one, because the 6,000 town soldiers all came in disguised as refugees, and the armor and weapons were transported in by someone else who was disguised as food."

"Good~"

Except for Li Tingqian, everyone else present was taken aback when they heard it.

The defenders of the Great Wall of Miaojiang, the heavily armored Zhenxiao soldiers, were already in Guiyang.

No wonder Dingyuan Marquis dared to take dozens of people and enter Guiyang City, which was besieged by the enemy~

"Let's introduce the situation of the city wall again, Ben Hou plans to defend and counterattack, pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger~"

"Good!"

Li Zheng is very familiar with Guiyang City.

If you first show weakness in defense, and then suddenly exert force to destroy the attacking enemy, then it is definitely necessary for the city wall of Guiyang to play the role of luring the enemy and hiding the soldiers and horses.

The city of Guiyang was built in the Song Dynasty and was only an earthen city wall at that time.

In the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, due to the "narrow city site and humble city wall", it was inferior to the general county seat. Gu Cheng, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and Ma Ye, the commander of the capital, rebuilt the original earth city into a stone city, facing the river in the southwest, and widening the north gate to black stone.

After so many years, although it is somewhat dilapidated, after Li Zheng replaced the previous Zhang Heming, he focused on the military affairs of Guizhou, and the current city wall is relatively solid.

"Stone City...... In this way, it can withstand all the siege weapons of the enemy. ”

"Exactly. The old man strengthened the city wall, which was specially able to resist the small cannons common in the army, and even the big franc machine could not open the area except for the city gate. ”

"If we defend and counterattack, then the city gate can't be blocked, right?" Ai Youlan heard it and asked.

Wang Hongyu nodded: "Indeed, how many city gates are there in Guiyang?"

"There are five city gates in the reconstructed city: Dongwusheng, South Chaojing, Cinan Dehua, West Shengquan, North Rouyuan; There are five city towers, 15 small moon towers, and 2,242 battlements. There is also an enemy tower called the god machine, and there is a water pass in the north and south. ”

Governor Li Zheng was clear about the city's defense.

As early as many years ago, when he took office, he was vigilant against luxury and security, so he specially prepared the city defense, if there was no Wang Hongyu's foresight, and the gods descended from the sky, the defense of Guiyang would definitely be extremely difficult.

Historically, this battle was very tragic, but with the efforts of Li Zheng and the soldiers and civilians of the city, it was held. Guiyang's solid stone city walls also played an irreplaceable role.

Wang Hongyu carefully checked the position of several doors on the sand table.

"Hmm...... I feel that outside the two south gates, the terrain is the flattest. ”

"Exactly."

"I originally planned to fight a decisive battle in the west, but now it seems that I want to deliberately show weakness in the south and let An Bangyan come here."

Wang Hongyu flexibly adjusted the battle plan according to Li Zong's briefing.

"In addition to the generals and leading officials of the town soldiers, which other officials in the city are more knowledgeable?"

"There are also many people, such as Shi Yongan, the imperial historian, Liu Xiyuan, the senator Shao Yingzhen, Liu Jiayan, the former deputy commander-in-chief, and the general Liu Xiyuan, all of whom are brave and responsible.

In fact, there are still many people who are very reliable, but it is a pity that some officials went to Beijing to report on their work, and the chief soldier Zhang Yanfang and the capital secretary Huang Yunqing all went to Zunyi...... By the way, they are all under the hands of the Marquis of Dingyuan, right? ”

Wang Hongyu smiled confidently: "That's right, they will appear with the Hunhe Army, the Shennong Army, the Shizhu Army, and the Youyang Army at the critical moment!"

"Great!" Everyone applauded.

An Bangyan gathered 100,000 troops to besiege the city and couldn't get too close, and there were still Furang machine guns on the city wall of Guiyang, and the defenders in the city also had all kinds of firearms.

As a result, Ahn Bangyan's rebel camps were located seven or eight miles away from the city walls, and this gap became an outpost for the scouts.

At this time, the scouts are already equipped with bird guns, and they will often be discovered by the other party's scouts before they get close to reconnoitre.

After a few shots, it was a chase battle, because the Ming army had fewer scouts and was at a disadvantage in the outpost battle.

An Bangyan smuggled a lot of Franco's cannons and bird guns from Annam, which could not be used to blast through the stone walls, but could also be used to shoot the defenders.

After the scout battle outside the city, it is time to prepare for the siege.

Although the city gate is easy to attack, there is still an urn city inside, and the rebels can only be sent to death if they enter.

Back in the military camp in the west of the city, An Bangyan asked Song Wanhua, the Tusi of Shuidong, to discuss countermeasures.

Song Wanhua also has no specific good way, he thinks that he should attack from the fourth interview now, and if he has the opportunity, he may break the city.

】

After all, there are only 3,000 battalions in Guiyang, and Gu Dong can't take care of the west, so he must mobilize citizens to defend the city, and he can find out the weak position in a few days, and then attack one or two sides in one go.
