Chapter 322: The Rebellion of Luxury was put down
According to the principle of surrendering their weapons, most people saved their lives, but those criminals who had lost their lives and those who committed the most heinous crimes still had to be screened and investigated.
A lot of artillery and bird guns were captured, which could arm 3,000 people.
The 100,000 Tusi soldiers who attacked An Bangyan ran 30,000, and the elite of 30,000 An Bangyan who were ambushed 40 miles north of Guiyang did not solve it, which is the most important thing.
Wang Hongyu asked the Zhenxiao soldiers to leave half of the guards to guard the Shuidong Tusi prisoners, and the other half followed the Shennong army and the Shizhu soldiers to the north, and cooperated with the Hunhe army and the Youyang soldiers to encircle and annihilate 30,000 Anjia elite ambush soldiers.
Before the war, An Bangyan was sure of breaking through Guiyang City, because Song Wanhua, the Tusi of Shuixi, had already reconnoitred clearly, and there were only 3,000 battalions under Li Zheng in Guiyang City.
What he was most worried about was that the Ming army, which had wiped out 100,000 luxury troops, would soon move south from the Zunyi Military and Civil Mansion to Guiyang Mansion, which was only 300 miles away from Guiyang.
An Bangyan has received news that the Ming army that defeated Yongning Tusi Yu Chongming has been assembled in Zunyi, and it is uncertain when it will arrive in Guiyang.
He knew that his 100,000 army was not much stronger than Yu Chongming's 100,000 army, and it was more likely that he would be defeated in the field.
Therefore, he decided to send more than half of his main force to ambush in a ravine 40 miles north of Guiyang, which was the only way from Zunyi to Guiyang.
Without the knowledge of the Ming army, they suddenly rushed out to cut off the marching army of the Ming army, and divided and surrounded the Ming army. Then according to Guiyang City and the outside of the city, eliminate the elite of this Ming army.
As a result, not only did he not take Guiyang, but he was defeated and lost, and he became a prisoner.
An Bangyan is calculating, and Wang Hongyu is also calculating.
Longchang is in the Longchang Station, which is eighty miles north-west of Guiyang, and is a little west of the road from Zunyi to Guiyang.
Longchang's eyeliner is all over the border area between Guiyang and Zunyi, and the mobilization of 30,000 troops in Anjia naturally can't hide from Mr. Wang.
The Hunhe Army, the Shennong Army, the Shizhu Army, the Youyang Army, and 4,000 Zhenxiao soldiers quickly surrounded the 30,000 elites of the Anjia Army.
The elite of the 30,000 Anjia army in ambush in the north of the city was stupidly ambushed.
In order not to reveal their whereabouts, they cut off contact with the outside world, and the generals were An Bangyan's cronies, and the 30,000 troops under them were An Bangyan's elite.
Therefore, they did not participate in An Bangyan's four-sided attack on Guiyang City.
At this time, it is already November, and Guizhou, which is in the south, has also entered winter, the mountains have begun to freeze, and the northwest wind often frequents, where can it still rain, only thunder and no rain is a common thing.
These Shuixi Tusi soldiers have popularized cotton armor and ambushed in the cold mountainous area, although they are wearing cotton armor, they still can't stop the invasion of the cold wind at night, and they all huddle in tents to keep warm.
At midnight the next day, the Ming army's Fran machine cannon rang out, and one by one the pointed ceramic round cannonballs with sparks flashing at the tail exploded in the Shuixi Tusi soldier garrison area, so the sparks were everywhere and the iron pins were flying.
The traitor's tent was on fire, and the toast soldiers inside ran out of the tent crying and screaming, many of them were bleeding profusely, and some were on fire, and the smarter ones were rolling on the ground to extinguish the fire, and many were running around, looking for a safe place to take refuge.
Swarms of toast soldiers are like headless flies scurrying around.
At this time, there were also exploding ceramic cannonballs in the sky, and countless iron pins with sparks scattered like chrysanthemums, falling from a few zhang high in the air like a goddess scattering flowers.
This is a masterpiece of the Tiger Squat Cannon.
The all-round attack lasted for a quarter of an hour, and the Shuixi Tusi camp had become a sea of fire, and the Shuixi Tusi soldiers had countless casualties, and they rushed to take refuge outside the camp.
This is a ceramic cannonball made of a grenade recently in the Yunyang Gun Yard, which has not been delivered when Wang Hongyu was engaged in the battle with the luxury army because of the delay in studying the lid and seal.
The ceramic shell is only thicker and smoother than the ceramic of the grenade, and it is no longer spherical, but cylindrical with a point, which is actually a later shell.
It is specially made of clay firing, and the bottom of the cylinder is thicker and stronger, so as to prevent it from being damaged when reloading, and also to avoid being broken by the air pressure when the gunpowder is ignited.
There is a small hole in the center of the bottom surface, and the gunpowder twist sticks out of the hole for half an inch and wraps it with wax, and covers it with a bamboo cap pad, and the bamboo cap can be removed when loading.
When the cannon is activated, the wax melts off and ignites the fire twist, and it is calculated that the fire twist will be burned before and after the shell hits the ground, and the gunpowder inside the ignition shell will explode.
These firecrackers can be easily cooked. The key is that the warhead should be made into a screw-shaped, and after the gunpowder and iron pin are loaded, it should be tightly sealed.
The final sealing material is natural gypsum plaster. Gypsum soil is called white clay, gypsum mine is easy to find, and natural gypsum was used to brush houses in the past.
Because of the large size and large charge, this kind of shell has a great explosion power, and its lethality mainly depends on the flying iron pins and sparks.
If you don't dare to use it easily in the forest, the mountains here are relatively open, and the Tusi soldiers of Shuixi choose a place free of trees and weeds to camp for safety, and even a few of them have been cleared.
In order to prevent people covered in fire from running into the woods, the Ming army specially filled the slopes on both sides with firecrackers and crossbowmen, but all the Tusi soldiers who rushed to the grass and woods were killed.
The Shennong army is good at running in the mountains, they specialize in shooting rebels running around with crossbow arrows, and knife players jump like flying in the mountains and forests, quickly chasing and killing the rout.
The Hunhe army also deployed musketeers and crossbowmen to ambush the enemy on the hillside.
It was a one-sided killing, and the mountains were full of the corpses of the Shuixi Tusi soldiers, and the Ming army was not merciful in killing the rebels.
Or An Wei pleaded with Wang Hongyu, and sent the book to Longchang with flying pigeons in time, and the Longchang scholars arrived on horseback, and the Ming army stopped killing.
In the end, the remaining 14,000 Shuixi Tusi soldiers who were not seriously injured surrendered.
10,000 enemy troops fled southwest of Guizhou near Yunnan, and several thousand others fled into the mountains south of Guiyang to try to resist.
At this time, the military and civilians of Guiyang learned a good news.
Yuan Keli, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, led the army to kill from behind at this time, although the Yungui army only had 10,000 people, but the combat power was not bad, and all the thieves who retreated to the Yunnan-Guizhou border were annihilated.
They rushed to Guizhou, and under the dispatch of Wang Hongyu, Yuan Keli and Li Zheng relied on the reputation and influence of the people and the two governors, and relied on the people to easily find the rebels in the mountains, and then successfully ambushed them, and all of them annihilated the 10,000 rebels.
The only enemies in Shuixi were Yu Chongming and some of the Anjia soldiers who fled back, and they cowered in the old nest of the Shuixi family, panicking all day. Drinking and having fun all day, knowing that time is running out, simply break the jar and break it.
Wang Hongyu led the Hunhe Army and the Shennong Army to the west of the water; The Youyang soldiers sent Li Zong's battalion soldiers into the mountains to suppress the bandits; The stone pillar soldiers stayed behind to guard Guiyang.
Wang Hongyu's reputation was already thunderous, and when the rebels heard that he was coming towards Shuixi, they directly tied up Yu Chongming and took the initiative to surrender.
The rebellion was put to rest.
