Chapter 316: Before the decisive battle in Guiyang
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
An Bangyan hurriedly closed his eyes, thinking in his heart that it was impossible, impossible, this was fake news and fake news from the Ming army......
I opened my eyes again, uncovered the letter a little bit, and glanced at it carefully.
…… The luxury family is over, Yongning has been conquered by the Ming army, and the luxury Chongming people have fled to Shuixi......
"Oops! How can it be!
With an army of 100,000, luxury Chongming is a pig...... Even if it is commanded by a pig, it is impossible for an army of 100,000 to be finished so quickly!"
An Bangyan felt completely deceived.
Isn't it true that the luxury family has already won Chengdu!?
How could the news that the three channels of soldiers, civil officials, and big households confirm to him be fake!
An Bangyan was talking to himself frantically, making his heart believe that this was a trick of the Ming military envoys, a deceptive ploy, and a lie in order to relieve the siege of Guiyang.
But he knew that it should be true that the people of Extravagant Chongming had gone to his hometown in Shuixi.
Because this letter was sent from my hometown.
Rub, Guiyang must be taken!
"Let's go! This king personally supervised the move of the big *** to the south of the city, every long ladder must be in place, and every striking wood must be pushed by a strong and fierce man!"
Originally, An Bangyan also had a preparatory plan, that is, to divide a part of the troops and horses to plunder the surrounding counties of Guiyang. Cut off the reinforcements and grain routes of the Ming army, so that there are no reinforcements outside and no food inside, and in the long run, there will inevitably be turmoil in the city, and then Li Zheng will obediently surrender.
You don't need to send too many people to sweep the surrounding areas of Guiyang, and expand the results of the battle to occupy more prefectures and counties.
Originally, it was planned to send 8,000 soldiers and horses to capture Guangshun, Puding, Weiqing, Pu'an, and Annan Zhuwei, and use all the manpower and food in these places to support the army.
Even if you use human lives to pile up slowly, you can also take Guiyang City.
But not anymore.
Even if he kept saying that he didn't believe it, there was still a voice in his heart telling him that the situation was very critical.
If you don't hurry up and take Guiyang, occupy the only big city in Guizhou, and let the other Guangxi and Yunnan Tusi who are still looking at the wind also raise troops, the final result will definitely be wiped out by the Ming army.
Fortunately, Guizhou's roads to Yunnan and Guangxi have been cut off by itself.
The toasts of those two provinces must not be allowed to know that the luxury family is finished, and they must let the news of their conquest of Guiyang reach their ears first.
As long as you fight together, there is no way back, you must join your own chariot!
"Take Guiyang!"
He stepped out of the tent and roared hysterically at his men, hiding his fear with anger and madness.
……
The next morning.
The sun is shining, and white clouds are floating in the air. Looking down from the sky, through the gaps between the white clouds, you can see neat buildings and city walls.
The verdant mountains and forests in the distance, the towering Qionglou Yuyu, and the floating clouds under the sun are like a fairyland in the hearts of the Chinese people, and even the war cannot shake the trinity of Guiyang's clouds, mountains and rivers and cities.
The watchtowers on the city walls have long been strengthened and renovated, and they are by no means simple long walls and building accumulations, but adopt a Chinese-style fortress similar to a fortress, which has been mastered by Wang Hongyu at this time, and Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua have gradually become familiar with the combination of Chinese and Western style bastions.
The fairyland-like temperature in Guiyang in November was just comfortable, and the young people in the city had already been mobilized.
The battalion soldiers who were stuck in the city were now dressed in new clothes.
They wore long tasseled iron helmets, red mandarin duck battle jackets, a batch of newly created armor, and a basin collar to protect the neck and a sub-piece iron arm to protect the arm. Holding a spear and an iron halberd, he walked neatly to the south of the city according to the order.
There are also armed female soldiers next to them, who are also heading to the assembly area.
The women of Guizhou also practiced martial arts to defend their families and the country, and were especially good at spears, crossbows and arrows. At this time, the women who practiced martial arts in the city were uniformly wearing red mandarin duck battle jackets, and their heroic posture was no less than that of their eyebrows.
Although some of the women have balls on their heads, they are unmarried hair accessories at first glance, but they are worth it
At this moment of life and death, the capable have stood up one after another.
Suddenly, there was a "moo" cow cry from the back of the queue.
Two old oxen pulled a yellow dragon head decoration, and the dragon's mouth was used as the direction of fire, and the style of the short and thick firearm was incomparably mighty, and it was followed by one ox after another.
This is a swarm of trait faucets, firing dozens of flaming arrows that can fire a dense array of flaming arrows at the target. Flare arrows are sometimes not just carrying incendiary objects, but are strapped to explosive gunpowder.
Exploding a swarm of swarms can fly farther than the metal or stone spheres of a cannon, and inflict more staggering casualties and morale damage to dense battle formations.
A soldier holding a powder keg walked past the watchtower when he suddenly looked up.
I saw a tall and mighty general wearing thick mountain armor staring at him.
Wang Hongyu...... Everyone in Guiyang City knows that he leads everyone to fight against thieves.
The young manager looked at the blazing blacksmith furnace on the other side.
Cousin Li Tiezhu struck the iron expressionlessly, and the next blow was firm and confident. Behind the back, a pile of freshly made weapons and armor were piled up. Guiyang City has long been preparing for war, and after Li Tiezhu came, he also joined it to fight a dozen weapons.
Wang Xuemen and the officials in the city were carefully checking which weapons and armor were distributed to which soldiers and horses.
"Assemble in place!"
Zhou Yijie shouted, and three teams of majestic infantry had already completed the assembly in the south of the city.
On the outermost side are a large number of guards and militiamen, some of them wear mandarin duck battle robes, and some wear robes and hats. The weapons in his hand are also varied, and various long weapons such as spears, harpoons, pitchforks, and iron rakes are mixed.
Although it does not look neat, the guards and militia are only poorly armoured, average in health, and limited in training, but they are not far behind in defending their homes and countries, and there are many warriors who are good at wielding knives and guns.
The innermost side was the battalion that had been assembled in the city before the battle, and they had just walked past the watchtower, and now they had assembled in an orderly manner.
And the most central part of the south square of the city is the main force that has been hidden this time - the town soldiers.
They were the guards of the Great Wall of Miaojiang, and the soldiers and horses with the highest proportion of heavy armor in the southern army.
At this time, a military official dressed in bright light armor held an iron round shield engraved with the pattern of the Great Wall in his left hand, and an iron halberd of more than two meters in his right hand in one hand.
The soldiers who followed the military officials were dressed in yellow cloth heavy armor, holding a mighty sword weighing dozens of catties in both hands.
After that, there are soldiers who wield swords and shields, or use strong crossbows.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the battle record of the Zhenxiao soldiers was very average, and they were defeated by the elite of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's old battalion and the soldiers and horses of the northwest trilateral army. In fact, it is not that they are weak, but like the white pole soldiers, they are limited in number, and they have almost lost about the losses in the rebellion that took ten years to quell the Lu'an.
At this time, the Zhenxiao soldiers who supported Guiyang were the best-equipped, most brave and aggressive Zhenxiao veterans before the loss, and their strength was by no means below the Shizhu soldiers.
