After the meeting, Guo Ying hurriedly came to meet General Zhengnan.

Since receiving the emperor's order to march south, this is the first time that Fu Youde and Guo Ying have met.

"The last general will meet the commander!" As soon as he saw Fu Youde, Guo Yingna bowed and said: "The marshal actually personally brought troops to help, I am really grateful!" ”

"Hahaha! Brother Guo Xian, please hurry up, you and my brother are heart-to-heart, why do you say these polite words? Fu Youde affectionately helped Guo Ying up.

Although Guo Ying is still a governor, Fu Youde does not dare to underestimate him. Because his brother is Guo Xing, Marquis of Gongchang, his sister is Guo Ningfei, Boss Zhu, and his nephew is King Lu, the tenth son of Boss Zhu.

Moreover, Guo Ying himself followed Boss Zhu at the age of eighteen, and has been a personal soldier in front of the account for many years, and is deeply trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he is also very good at leading troops to fight, and he is a rising star on the same level as Mu Ying and Lan Yu.

After greetings, Guo Ying learned that the army had conquered Qujing and occupied Kunming, and couldn't help but be ashamed: "The last general has dragged the marshal back." ”

"Hey, Brother Xian's words are wrong, you led the Northern Route Army to be elusive along the Jinsha River, not only the 50,000 yuan army, but also the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Wusa Mang Department, firmly attracted to Wusa, and did not let them go south to support Qujing, which is a great achievement." Fu Youde shook his head and laughed: "Your task is to respond, it's not good to steal the show too much, isn't it?" ”

"The handsome man is really comforting." Guo Ying smiled and said: "But this kind of people sing operas, let's watch the taste of the play, it's really uncomfortable." ”

His merits have almost accumulated, and he is just one big merit away from being able to seal the marquis, and he must have real military exploits.

"Don't worry, after annihilating Wusa's Yuan army, it is more than enough to give the marquis of Ling." Fu Youde smiled happily. Relying on the credit of pacifying Yunnan, his title is already a certainty, and now of course he has to consider it for the brothers.

"Shibu took the initiative to retreat into the reckless mountains, obviously trying to lure the enemy deeper, we must not be fooled!" Guo Ying's biggest characteristic is to be cautious, otherwise Boss Zhu would not hand over the Northern Route Army to him.

Although he was anxious to make meritorious contributions, he still advised the coach to be cautious.

"Here are heavy mountains and mountains, steep streams and deep forests, its narrow pass only allows one person to ride, such as climbing to the sky, down such as entering the well, if you are not careful, you will lose all the plates."

"My brother is reasonable, then we won't be fooled by him." Fu Youde said in a deep voice: "Anyway, it's them who are in a hurry now, not us." ”

"Yes. Now that King Liang is dead, Kunming has been decided, the remaining Yuan army can only fight on their own, and Wusa's Yuan army is already a lone army, and no one will care about them. After Shibao Mountain was occupied by the marshal, they had no way to retreat, and they could only wait for death by hiding in the mountains. Guo Ying nodded.

"So we're going to put on a posture of playing a long game and see how they respond." Fu Youde smiled and said: "Order the whole army to build a city in Wusa, let's not leave!" ”

"That's a clever trick!" Guo Ying praised: "If the last general is Shibu, there is no other way than to take the initiative to attack, and he has to attack as soon as possible, otherwise when the Ming army builds the city, then it will be a fart?" ”

"That's right, this is called Jiang Taigong fishing - the one who wishes to take the bait!" Fu Youde smiled and said. When the battle is brought to this, it is already how to fight. That kind of hearty feeling of doing what you want is not something that can be experienced often.

~~

So the 100,000-strong army turned into construction workers and began to level the land and lay the foundation at Wuligang in Wusa, and then pile up the soil on the wall foundation.

Usually, the soil is soft like loose sand, can not be directly made into the city wall, the soil must be added to the water to be wet, after the plate is built, and then the soil is tamped with ramming, in order to get a solid rammed earth city wall.

However, the red clay in Yunnan is very sticky, and it itself becomes a compact block, so the workload of rammed earth is greatly reduced, and the army of 100,000 people work together, and within a few days a city will take shape.

Fu Youde even had wealthy people who began to cut wood and burn bricks, ready to put bricks on the earthen city wall.

This is very anxious, he will climb the mountain every day to look at Wuligang, watching the city rise from the ground little by little, and he can't help but feel anxious.

He decided that he couldn't sit still any longer, so he summoned the Wumeng Mangbu and other local chiefs, and discussed with them that if the Ming army built the city, it would be a fart? Wusadu will always be of the Ming Dynasty.

The chieftains also thought that they did not want the government to build a city in Usa, so they would not have a good life, so they hit it off and decided to attack the city of Usa together. Before it is ready, pull out this thorn in the flesh!

On the eighth day of the first month of the fifteenth year of Hongwu, the Yuan army of Shibu united with the Tusi army of various departments, with a total of more than 100,000 troops, poured out of the nest and surrounded the Wuligang regiments, intending to trap these 'unruly' Ming troops.

However, they are purely 'grasshoppers teasing the chicks - beyond their means'.

After discovering that they were 'surrounded' by the Yuan army, the soldiers of the Ming army were not surprised and rejoiced, threw away the clay knife, wiped the mud on their bodies, put on their armor, picked up swords, guns, bows and crossbows, and waited for the battle by relying on the favorable terrain.

The generals surrounded Fu Youde and actively sought to fight, and it was easy for the Marquis of Xiping and the Marquis of Yongchang to be amused, but it was their turn to have a chance to show their faces.

Fu Youde ordered the whole army: "Those who want to fight, there is no advance or retreat!" ”

Everyone can be a pioneer, everyone strives to be the first, and they are brave!

The generals suddenly received the order, returned to their positions, and led the army to rely on the unfinished city wall to resist the overwhelming Yuan army.

Wuligang, where Wusa City is located, is originally located in a mountainous area, which is not conducive to the development of the Yuan army. Although there were more than 100,000 people, there were only 10,000 or 20,000 people who could be put into the attack at a time, and the hill was full.

When the Yuan army stepped on the ankle-touching red soil and finally approached the city wall, the Ming army smashed the prepared stones, logs, and even bricks at the Yuan army.

The Yuan army was smashed to the point of crying wolf, and suffered heavy losses as soon as it came up.

But they relied on the large number of people, and they still kept climbing the unfinished city wall, wanting to climb up and fight the Ming army. However, Fu Youde had already ordered the defenders to prepare the fork pole.

This kind of weapon to defend the city can only exert its full power in the hands of the Ming army, which is completely different from the crop control style of the native soldiers in Guizhou.

I saw that the soldiers of the Ming army held rods in both hands, and kept pushing and chopping along the city wall, and every time they did not fail, at least one Yuan army screamed and fell, and knocked down a piece of his companions. The horizontal blade in front of the pole was like a razor, emptying a wall with each blow. It didn't give the Yuan army any chance at all.

Shibu was anxiously urging the Yuan army behind him to hurry up, and suddenly saw a rain of arrows like flying locusts rising from behind the wall of the Ming army.

The rain of arrows flew high over the low wall and landed within a few to a dozen zhang outside the city wall. In an instant, a large number of Yuan troops fell to the ground with arrows.

The rain of arrows continued, and wave after wave of shots came down, all falling in the same area, so that the Yuan army behind them was discouraged and did not dare to set foot in this forbidden area of life again.

In the dense Yuan army array, a large open space suddenly appeared......
