Chapter 1160: The Three Routes Ming Army Joins Kunming (Second Shift)
Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Wang Fuchen led their troops to wash the company camp in Shadingzhou.
Only Sha Dingzhou fled to Ami Prefecture with a remnant of the defeated army, and the rest of the more than 30,000 rebel horses were wiped out, either beheaded in the territory or in the camp, this vast hilly area, full of corpses, blood stained the mountains, rocks and grass.
The battle lasted from morning to dark, and then came to an end.
According to Chongzhen's will, not a single captive was killed.
Counting the casualties of this battle, a total of more than 36,000 rebels in Shadingzhou were annihilated in this battle, and three martial arts masters, including Takano, were killed.
In this battle, the Ming army suffered more than 3,000 casualties.
Following. Li Dingguo left the general Gao Wengui to lead 10,000 people to bury the corpses, rescue the wounded, and rest on the spot, and then transport grain and grass to follow.
Li Dingguo led more than 20,000 horses non-stop, and Liu Wenxiu, Wang Fuchen and other three will continue to pursue the remnants of Sha Dingzhou.
A day later, Li Dingguo's men arrived outside the city of Ami Prefecture.
At this time, Sha Dingzhou led thousands of remnants of the defeated army and held on to Ami Prefecture, intending to resist stubbornly.
But he knew that he had lost the support of a martial arts master, and he was not Li Dingguo's opponent at all. Now that the Wan sisters are also dead, there are no more strategists, only his second son Sand Leopard remains, and then there is also a grand prize general Pu Dingchen in Ami Prefecture, and the soldiers and horses of the two states together are only 10,000.
Relying on this strength alone, Kill Dingzhou knew that he could not compete with Li Dingguo. So he hurriedly sent someone to ask for foreign aid, and now his ideal foreign aid is, of course, Wu Sangui.
So Sha Dingzhou sent his second son, Sha Leopard, with heavy gifts and handwritten letters, riding fast horses and dozens of relatives to Kunming Mansion overnight for help.
But the men and horses who asked for help did not return, and the Ming army began to besiege the city.
Because at this time, the logistical grain and grass transported by Gao Wengui rushed to Ami Prefecture to join Li Dingguo's men.
A total of 30,000 Ming troops began to besiege the city from 4 directions.
To the south is an army of 10,000 led by Li Dingguo, to the east is Liu Wenxiu's 8,000 men, to the west is Wang Fuchen's 6,000 men, and to the north is Gao Wengui's 6,000 men.
The 30,000 Ming army camped on all sides, forming an iron-arm encirclement of Ami Prefecture.
Sha Dingzhou had a premonition that something was wrong, so he organized a death squad of several thousand men on the third watch of the night, and asked his subordinate general Pu Dingchen to open the way in front and began to break through.
Pu Dingchen didn't know what to do, opened the south gate in front, and killed out with 3,000 men and horses, but his 3,000 men and horses attracted a large number of Ming troops, Sha Dingzhou made a golden cicada out of the shell, only brought more than 2,000 cavalry, quietly opened the west gate, and suddenly killed.
In a bloody battle, Pu Dingchen's 3,000 soldiers and horses were all killed in Nancheng's back to Li Dingguo, and none of them were spared. Then Li Dingguo invaded the city and washed Ami Prefecture with blood, especially the family of Shadingzhou and Pu Mingsheng's family, leaving no one behind.
At this time, Sha Dingzhou had already fled from Ximen, but he also paid a heavy price.
Because Wang Fuchen, the guard of the West Gate, was ordered to defend here with 6,000 men and horses, relatively speaking, the strength of the Ming army here was the weakest.
Sha Dingzhou had already figured out in advance, and the two sides started a scuffle late at night, and Sha Dingzhou finally broke out of the encirclement, with only about 1,000 people left around him.
Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu won Amizhou overnight.
But at this time, I heard that Shadingzhou fled to the south with the remnants of the defeated army. The area of Dehou Town, Wenshan County, which is the later generation, is a dangerous mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is convenient for garrisons.
Two days later, Li Dingguo sent the generals Liu Wenxiu and Wang Fuchen with 10,000 elite soldiers to continue to pursue Sha Dingzhou, because the emperor had decreed that the thieves must be eliminated.
Li Dingguo and Gao Wengui took 20,000 soldiers and horses and sent them to King Qin of Kunming Mansion.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, with Wang Chengen and seven Jinyi guards, had already left Li Dingguo's camp and came to Andingzhou for the second time.
Because after helping Li Dingguo deal with the strong enemy, Chongzhen's mind was clear, and he knew that the abbot of Chongsheng Temple and the first Guang'an Grand Master of Guanyin Temple, two old monks followed Yilong Zen Master to leave Chongsheng Temple, and they had already made a point
Cangshan, coming to Kunming.
It is not trivial for these two old monks to come forward in person.
Yunnan General Mu Tianbo, Yunnan Governor Wu Zhaoyuan, and Yunnan Deputy Envoy Yang Weizhi and other civil and military personnel took Chongzhen into the temporary palace in Anning Prefecture.
and reported the situation of the past few days to Chongzhen in detail,
In the past few days when Chongzhen left Anning, Wu Sangui of Kunming Mansion was very honest and did not move, as Chongzhen expected, they were waiting for the abbot of Chongsheng Temple.
On the second day of Chongzhen's arrival in Anning Prefecture, Jinyi Wei Qianhu Han Yin came to report that Huang Degong took the generals Weng Zhiqi, Zhang Jie, Feng Shuangli, Wang Shangli and others to lead 80,000 troops, and with the assistance of the martial arts master Zhen Zhu, Yiliang County has been taken.
There are not many soldiers and horses stationed in this small county town Wu Sangui, because now Wu Sangui has limited men and horses, Azig and Bolo were killed in Ningzhou, Liu Jinzhong also died, and Lu Wanzhong was also liquidated, so far the 30,000 Manchu Qing *** has exhausted him, and only the more than 30,000 Guan Ning troops he brought over are left.
At present, there is only one Kunming Mansion left in the territory he actually controls.
Wu Sangui also felt the crisis, and had to shrink the front of the army, focusing on defending Kunming Mansion, Huang Degong arrived at this place, and the soldiers occupied this small county town without blood, which is equivalent to reaching the east gate of Kunming Mansion.
Li Dingguo's men and horses of the Southern Route Army were like bamboos, and they successively took Mengzi Prefecture and Ami Prefecture, and then divided the troops into two routes, one to Kunming Fuqin Wang, and the other road Liu Wenxiu and Wang Fuchen led troops to continue to pursue and kill Sha Dingzhou.
Now Li Dingguo's 20,000 men and horses have arrived in Pengjiang Mansion, that is, the area of Dengjiang City, Yunnan Province in later generations, and Li Dingguo's men and horses are equivalent to guarding the southern gate of Kunming.
To the north is the 20,000 Ming troops stationed in Anning Prefecture by Mu Tianbo, Wu Zhaoyuan, Yang Weizhi and others.
Chongzhen was overjoyed, and the army of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of the three roads arrived in Kunming Mansion as scheduled, and Wu Sangui, the rebellious minister and thief, was in front of him.
