Chapter 1111: The Last Battle of Nancheng (1st Update)
Nancheng is Sha Dingzhou's general Chen Changming led 10,000 rebels, when the siege began, Chen Changming selected 5,000 men and horses to form a death squad as the first echelon, storming Nancheng.
The commander of the Ming army who was ordered to guard the south gate was Yang Zu, the Tusi king of Ao, and the soldiers of Chuxiong City plus the Tusi soldiers, and there were more than 8,000 Ming troops stationed in the south gate.
According to Chongzhen's will, according to the order of Yunnan Mu Tianbo, the chief soldier of Yunnan Province, Wang Yangzu also lured the enemy into the city here, closed the door and beat the dogs.
However, Wang Yangzu detected that there were tens of thousands of heavy soldiers stationed in Shadingzhou outside the south gate, and this Tusi felt extremely pressured.
Now Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo and the chief soldier of Yunnan, Wu Zhaoyuan, the governor of Yunnan, and Yang Weizhi, the deputy envoy of Yunnan and the inspector of Jincang (Jinsha River and Lancang River), are all in Yunnan.
What's even worse is that the emperor personally sat in charge of Chuxiong, and also sent him a Jinyi Wei master Zhou Yingyuan, although there is only one Jinyi Guard, she is still a woman, but this is the emperor's personal guard, and she is definitely a martial arts master.
He said he was here to help him fight, but there was more of a supervisory component. What does the distorted Jinyi Wei do? It is to supervise the hundred officials, which is the eyes and ears of the imperial court. If this battle is not fought well, can Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty agree?
He must be questioned for his crimes, kill chickens and monkeys, and set an example, if he doesn't get it right, he will be corrected on the spot, and if his Tusi official can't say it, the Tusi under his rule will be divided.
Of course, he will not forget the rebellion of Yuanmou Tusi Wubikui two years ago, when the incomparably loud Kui was huge, and several state cities were captured in a row, and the whole of Yunnan was shaken. But in just a few months, he was surrounded and suppressed by the Tusi, as a result, Wu Bikui committed suicide, the whole family was arrested, and the Yuanmou Tusi was divided among these Tusi.
Wang Yangzu is not stupid, he sees the essence through the phenomenon. He knew very well that the reason why Wu Bikui's rebels were suppressed so quickly was not because of how great Mu Tianbo's appeal was, a son of a wealthy family in his 20s wanted to have no soldiers, and he wanted to have no generals, although he hung the rank of Yunnan General Army, and the total number of troops in Yunnan was 10,000, but it was scattered all over the place. There are only a few thousand people in Kunming Prefecture, and it all depends on the Tusi to send troops to encircle and suppress.
Each of these toasters has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, why do they work so hard? It's not that they are loyal to Daming. At this time, the Ming Dynasty was already twilight, internal and external troubles, national politics were in trouble, rivers were declining, and the central court was beyond the reach of the whip, and even the capital could not take care of it, and it was simply unable to take care of the ethnic friction on some borders.
But these toasts are all in order to expand their own power and annex other people's territories. Under the siege of the Tusi, Wu Bikui was defeated in a lightning lightning. Yuanmou Prefecture under his control, a huge territory, and hundreds of years of savings were divided by these families.
He didn't want such a result, although he was not sentenced to chaos, but he was questioned by the court for his ineffective fighting. His territory, the inheritance left by his ancestors for generations, will still be divided, and the consequences will be the same.
Don't look at the emperor's arrival in Xiongzhou this time, with only five brocade guards, it can be asserted that a large number of Qinwang soldiers and horses must not be far from here. Since Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty was able to pacify Sichuan, even the invincible Zhang Xianzhong was defeated, and he was still able to pacify Yunnan, otherwise why did they come to Yunnan with a few monarchs and ministers?
It's not a tour of the mountains and rivers, it must be to clean up Wu Sangui, and at the same time to clear the rebellion in Yunnan.
The rebellion in Shadingzhou coincided with Wu Sangui's rout and escape from Yunnan, and he did not seek merit, but he could not be a victim this time.
Therefore, this battle is very important to Wang Yangzu, and it can be described as a battle against the water.
To this end, Wang Yangzu also carried out a brief pre-war mobilization, envy and power, to motivate his soldiers, and even a soldier, raising soldiers for a thousand days for a while, everyone must swear to the death, the time to contribute to the imperial court has come, the opportunity to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty has come, everyone must obey the general's order, and live and die with Nancheng. Those who violate the order will not be killed, and those who have meritorious service will be rewarded heavily.
This time it really worked, with more than 8,000 soldiers under his command and high morale.
Wang Yangzu adjusted his strategy, and 7,000 people were ambushed in the two streets and alleys of Nancheng, of which 5,000 were archers. He did not surrender the city, but placed the remaining 1,000 men and horses on the head of the city to defend.
Wang Yangzu has led the troops for many years and has rich experience, and this time the arrangement of troops shows his level.
More than 1,000 soldiers and horses defended the city, this line of defense was several miles long, and the army was sentenced to invest 5,000 death squads to attack the city, no need to act, these more than 1,000 horses did not support long before they were defeated.
After the defeat of more than 1,000 remnants of the army retreated from the city, they also disappeared into the streets and alleys of the southern city in the blink of an eye......
Chen Changming's 5,000 death squads, after less than half an hour of fierce fighting, successfully attacked the city, took the south city, and then the city gate was opened to welcome Chen Changming's main force into the city.
Chen Chang ordered these 10,000 horses to be the same as the rebels who captured the other three city gates, leaving only a small amount of strength to guard the city gate after entering the city, and then advancing into the city with a large number of troops, trying to converge the soldiers and horses in the city, which was equivalent to occupying the whole city. Catch Mu Tianbo, Wu Zhao and Yang Weizhi These people, if you live to see people die, you have to see corpses, and you can be considered done.
Therefore, Chen Changming sent people to report the victory to Sha Dingzhou behind him, and at the same time commanded the soldiers and horses to rush inside.
But as soon as they entered the second street, several arrows whistled into the air, and ambushes were set up......
