Chapter 21: The Bloody Battle of Kunming (3)

In a blink of an eye, five days later, on this day, Li An hastily drove his horse to the barracks after breakfast.

As soon as Li An and Li Sixing entered the camp gate, they immediately felt a sense of murder. I saw that the soldiers were all ready to go, and each soldier held his head high and his eyes were resolute.

Li An walked quickly to the Dianjiang platform, and the general soldiers and deputy commanders of the six towns were all on the Dianjiang platform at this time, and when they saw Li An coming up, they all bowed their hands.

There was no nonsense, Li An cleared his throat after taking the general's stage, and began to swear: "General Li An, consult the three armies, and will go out to win the battle with Jiannu, and each strict soldier will listen to the order." Now the Tartars have come and invaded our land, disturbed our borders, ruined our lives, and poisoned the people...... I hope that each will have a leather corpse to be favored, and there will be no shame for the dead and wounded.

Better than victory, courage self-appreciation, self-appreciation of those who work hard, practice their soldiers and teach them, in order to refrain from adultery. If the tuntian is not moved, and the fear is not forward, then the law will be followed. ”

After the oath was completed, the flag was sacrificed, the soldiers put on the three animals, and Jiang Guotai read out the sacrifice. "Boom, boom, boom", after three cannon shots, the army pulled out.

The 50,000 soldiers and horses began to march northward, and when they reached the area of Quang Nam Province, the whole army was divided into three routes. One route was led by Li An to Kunming with 20,000 horses; One route is to lead 20,000 horses and horses from Wu San Province to camp in place; One route, Jin Tongwu led 10,000 horses to march towards Guangzhou.

At this time, in the Pingxi Royal Mansion of Kunming City, the spies were reporting the military situation to Wu Sangui.

"Oh? Are you saying that Li Dingguo only brought 10,000 or 20,000 horses? Wu Sangui asked as he stroked his beard.

"Lord Yu, it is indeed one or two thousand people."

"Well, you can go down."

Wu Sangui got up and paced in the hall, how dare Li Dingguo bring 20,000 or 30,000 people to attack, although he was suffered heavy losses by Ma Bao, but there were still more than 60,000 soldiers who could fight.

"Someone."

The guards entered, and Wu Sangui commanded; "Go and call Xia Guoxiang, Wang Pingfan, Gao Dejie, Guo Zhuangtu, Hu Guozhu and a few others."

"Wow." When the guards heard this, they immediately went to spread the word to these people.

Two quarters of an hour later, Wu Sangui's generals arrived one after another.

Immediately, Wu Sangui and the generals had a heated discussion on the situation of Li Dingguo leading a small number of troops and horses to attack.

Xia Guoxiang and Gao Dejie quarreled the most fiercely, and the former thought that Li Dingguo with a small number of troops and horses must be a trick to lure the enemy, and he should not attack easily.

The latter thought that this was the vanguard, and that he should attack in advance while the brigade had not yet arrived, and eat the 20,000 soldiers and horses in one fell swoop.

Neither of them will let anyone, you say that I have always been more and more noisy. Suddenly, Gao Dejie didn't know what to think of, and became excited, and stepped forward and grabbed Xia Guoxiang's placket, "The surname Xia, Lao Tzu knows that you have always looked down on Lao Tzu and excluded you everywhere, and today you deliberately choked Lao Tzu in front of the prince, and I will give you a little power today." ”

When the words fell, Xia Guo knew that he was not in love, so he hurriedly hid back, but Gao Dejie grabbed it tightly and couldn't break free for a while. Gao Dejie saw that Xia Guoxiang wanted to leave, so he immediately raised his fist with a vinegar bowl and smashed it on Xia Guoxiang's face.

"Ahh Xia Guo screamed loudly in pain.

"How dare you scream? I'll kill you today. Gao Dejie raised his fist and punched Xia Guoxiang three times in a row, and Xia Guoxiang's face was bleeding.

"Stop." Wu Sangui shouted loudly, and Wang Pingfan hurriedly stepped forward to pull the two people apart. Gao Dejie suddenly broke out just now, and everyone didn't react, causing Xia Guo to be punched four times in a row.

"Quick, go and call the doctor in the house," Guo Zhuangtu shouted outside the door.

"Wow." When the guards heard the news, they immediately went to the doctor of the palace.

Wang Pingfan and Guo Zhuangtu hurriedly helped Xia Guoxiang to a chair and sat down. Xia Guoxiang is not miserable now, his right eye is blurred with blood, the bridge of his nose has collapsed, his face is blue and purple, and he is unconscious on the chair.

Wu Sangui saw that Xia Guoxiang was beaten like this, and he was angry, and reprimanded Gao sharply: "Gao Dejie, do you still have this king in your eyes?" The big war is coming, and you deserve death for beating your colleagues. Someone came, and he took Gao Dejie out and beat forty military sticks, and beat the king to death. ”

At this time, Gao Dejie also calmed down, knew that he was silent, and was carried out by two guards. After a while, the guards put Gao Dejie on the bench, and the two guards took military sticks and beat Gao Dejie's ass one after another, Gao Dejie gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.

After the fight, Gao Dejie fainted in pain, and the guards went in to report that Wu Sangui had passed out, and Wu Sangui ordered Gao Dejie to be sent to his mansion to be grounded, and then dealt with after Xia Guoxiang woke up.

At this time, the doctor also rushed over and hurriedly stepped forward to check Xia Guoxiang's injury. The doctor took out a cloth towel for Xia Guoxiang to clean his face first, then took out the external medicine and applied it to him, and then focused on checking his right eye and the bridge of his nose.

"Bo'an, how is the state minister's injury?" Wu Sangui asked.

Sun Bo'an sighed and said, "Lord Wang, the others are fine, but General Xia's right eye is afraid that it will not be saved." ”

When Wu Sangui heard this, the anger in his heart rose a lot.

Just as Wu Sangui was thinking about how to deal with Gao Dejie, "report...... Qi Yu Wang, just found out the emergency military situation. The sound of the spies interrupted Wu Sangui's thoughts.

"Speak." Wu Sangui suppressed the anger in his heart and said to the spy.

"Lord Qi, news has come from the direction of Guangnan Mansion that a large number of soldiers and horses are heading in the direction of Guangzhou."

"What? There are a large number of soldiers and horses heading in the direction of Guangzhou, so who is leading the troops? Wu Sangui was taken aback when he heard this.

"Lord Yu, its banner is the Jin flag."

Jin Ziqi, that must be Li Dingguo's fierce general Jin Tongwu. Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, led his troops to attract attention while sending strong generals to attack Guangzhou City.

At this time, King Pingnan was already on his way to Kunming, and the city of Guangzhou was empty. Li Dingguo sent people to attack Guangzhou, and the city of Guangzhou would fall in a battle. At that time, the city of Guangzhou will be broken, and it will definitely alarm the imperial court, and it will be difficult to escape the blame.

Thinking of this, Wu Sangui immediately shouted: "Guozhu, you immediately bring someone to inform the king of Pingnan that Guangzhou City is in danger and will return to help." Ping Fan, you stay in Kunming, and this king will bring 40,000 soldiers and horses to support the king of Pingnan. ”

"Wow."

"Wow."

Wang Pingfan and Hu Guozhu received orders one after another.

Two days later, Li An led his troops to the outside of Kunming and set up a camp twenty miles outside the city. The scouts found out the news yesterday that a large number of soldiers and horses had left Kunming City and headed for Guangzhou.

On the same day, Li Ang ordered a tentative attack, and Lei Pilgrim led 5,000 people to two miles outside the city, and a cannon was pushed out.

The gunners then cleared the cannon, cleaned the bore one by one, and then charged the cannon, the gunner covered the ignition hole with leather gloves, then loaded the ammunition, pushed it solid with the pusher, and finally aimed, and the commander ignited it with a fire breaker.

"Boom" a cannon sounded, and one after another the cannonballs smashed on the city wall, and suddenly bricks and stones were splashed everywhere. After firing one shot, the gunner shifted position by pushing the cannon.

At this time, the cannons on the city wall of Kunming City also began to exert power, "boom, boom" one after another, and smashed on the original position of the Ming artillery.

Subsequently, Lei Pilgrimage arranged for the soldiers to start filling the moat, and one by one the soldiers carried earth and stones and threw them into the moat.

Wang Pingfan, who was at the head of the city, saw that the Ming army began to fill the moat, and hurriedly ordered the archers to release arrows, and suddenly the arrows rained down. Lei Pilgrim saw that the soldiers were shot to the ground one by one, and he also organized archers to shoot at the head of the city, and the pressure on the wrecker clearance force was greatly reduced.

At this time, Li An personally came to the front line to inspect, in order to encourage the enthusiasm of the soldiers, he personally put the earthen bag on the horse's back. Seeing that the king of Jin was taking the lead, the soldiers immediately rushed to work, and the moat was quickly filled.
