Xinfeng placed the county in the first year of Tang Yongchun, and the name of the county took the meaning of "people are rich in tokens, and rich because of letters". After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Xinfeng County was subordinate to Ganzhou Prefecture.

Xinfeng county is on the west bank of the Xinfeng River, the terrain is very superior, the city is built near the river, not only convenient to take water, but also conducive to defense.

At this time, in the south and west of Xinfeng County, Wang Xianchuan, the chief military officer of Guangdong, led the deployment of 110,000 troops, and the camp that stretched for more than ten miles could not be seen at a glance.

Wang Xianchuan left 5,000 soldiers and horses in Longnan County and Dingnan County in the rear, and transferred all the main force of 110,000 horses here, in order to concentrate his troops, take Xinfeng County in one fell swoop, and open up the road to the capital of Ganzhou.

But unexpectedly, the hundreds of soldiers and horses of the garrison battalion in Xinfeng County actually blocked the two attacks of the army, and killed and injured thousands of people and horses, which made Wang Xianchuan angry.

"Order all battalions of soldiers and horses to continue to prepare for the attack, and start the siege in half an hour!"

Wang Xianchuan once again gave the order to prepare for the attack, but the generals around him had already retreated, and a staff general said: "General Town, it is better for the army to rest for the night for the time being, and fight again tomorrow." ”

Another general also said: "Yes, the general town, the soldiers have already fought twice, and now the people are sleepy and demoralized, and if they continue to fight, it will only increase casualties." It's better to fight again tomorrow morning, and you will definitely be able to take Xinfeng County in one go. ”

Wang Xianchuan glared at a few people, and said angrily: "The imperial court transferred Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, to lead the army south, according to the investigation of the night, Yan Jizu has already led the army to the area of Ganzhou Fucheng, and he will go south at any time to help!" If it drags on any longer, let alone take Xinfeng County, we will all be driven back by the official army! ”

Everyone didn't dare to say more, and Wang Xianchuan immediately shouted: "All battalions hurry up and line up and prepare to attack the city!" ”

"Yes."

Although the generals received orders, their morale was not very high.

When the army was raised before, Wang Xianchuan clearly said that this battle was just pretending, forcing the imperial court to give up the policy of implementing military reform in Liangguang.

But after everyone agreed to follow Wang Xianchuan and Ding Kuichu to raise troops, things became out of control, and no one expected that these two people would really fight, and directly led the army into Jiangxi Road!

At this time, many generals were resigned, worried that the imperial court would settle accounts after the autumn.

Among the 120,000 troops led by Wang Xianchuan, there are more than 40,000 Guangxi soldiers and horses, and the combat power of these Guangxi soldiers is actually very objective, but this time it is a rebellion against the imperial court, and the actual situation is different from what Wang Xianchuan and Ding Kuichu preached, so the fighting spirit of the Guangxi soldiers is very low, and it is completely full.

In this regard, Wang Xianchuan did not dare to persecute those Guangxi soldiers too much, after all, he was only the chief military officer of Guangdong at the time, and he was able to command those Guangxi soldiers in this battle because of Ding Kuichu.

At this time, the army had been assembled one after another, and among the 110,000 troops, 60,000 horses were placed on the front line, basically all of them were Guangdong soldiers and horses, which made the generals, guerrilla generals, and garrisons in Guangdong very dissatisfied.

And those Guangxi generals were secretly happy, Wang Xianchuan could only turn a blind eye to this, and secretly thought in his heart that he would take Xinfeng County first, as long as he took the city and rewarded the soldiers of the army with the spoils of war in the city, how could the morale be improved a lot.

The battle immediately began, and the Liangguang rebels launched a huge attack, but only more than 60,000 Guangdong soldiers really entered the battle, and the remaining 40,000 or so Guangxi soldiers waved their flags and shouted behind them.

For a time, the battlefield was full of artillery fire, firearms sprayed, and arrows rained all over the sky, but the rebel soldiers and horses were unable to cross the trench for a long time, and rushed to the city to erect a ladder.

This situation made Wang Xianchuan, who was watching the battle behind, angry, angry, and scolded, and the Guangxi generals around him also said in a weird way, which added fuel to the fire for Wang Xianchuan, who was angry.

Half an hour after the start of the offensive, more than 60,000 Guangdong soldiers and horses did not make progress for a long time, and they were blocked by hundreds of imperial court garrison soldiers and horses.

As the rebel units returned to the camp one after another, on a hillside to the north of the battlefield, several people who were holding clairvoyant mirrors were watching the rebel camp.

"The rebels haven't taken Xinfeng County yet, and they have just been repelled by the defenders again!!"

"There are only a few hundred people in Xinfeng County, and the rebels are so strong that they haven't broken the city yet? What are the rebels doing? ”

"There must be a reason for this, let's immediately report the situation here to Lord Futai!"

At the same time, Wang Xianchuan collected his troops and returned to the camp, and gathered a group of Guangdong generals in the big tent of the Chinese army, which was a reprimand, and then ordered all Guangdong generals to be beaten ten times with their rods.

The next group of Guangdong generals suddenly stopped doing it, the matter of attacking the city let the Cantonese people go up, the Guangxi people watched the play in the back, and they couldn't take the city, and they had to punish the Cantonese people, and the Guangxi people were still watching the play, who could bear it?

So a group of Guangdong generals froze, and one of the generals asked loudly: "Wang Zongzhen, are you the general soldier of Guangdong or the general army of Guangxi!" ”

Wang Xianchuan was suddenly furious, originally he just wanted to punish the generals a little, but he didn't expect everyone to be stiff, how could he bear it, so he pointed to the general who questioned him, and said loudly: "Immediately drag this person down and beat thirty military sticks!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the Guangdong generals suddenly stopped doing it, and they all protected the general in the middle and confronted Wang Xianchuan.

The Guangxi generals were also dumbfounded, they didn't expect things to develop into such a situation, so they were divided into two groups, a wave of Guangxi generals and Wang Xianchuan stood together, and began to confront the Guangdong generals, and a wave of Guangxi generals began to persuade both sides, but with little effect.

Seeing this, Wang Xianchuan was so angry that he lost his mind, so he directly picked up the saber and pulled it out, and then strode forward and said angrily: "Don't stop the military order, I think you are tired of life!" ”

As he spoke, Wang Xianchuan swung his knife and slashed over, but he didn't expect that the Guangdong general would not dodge or dodge, and was directly hacked to death by himself.

And that Guangdong general never imagined that Wang Xianchuan really dared to kill himself in public, and when he fell, his eyes were full of disbelief.

At this time, the big tent of the Chinese army was very quiet, both sides were you look at me, I look at you, everyone gasped heavily, but no one dared to move first.

Wang Xianchuan regained his senses now, and just as he was about to speak, a Guangdong garrison said angrily: "Wang Xianchuan! I'm your mother! ”

As he spoke, a group of Guangdong generals drew their swords to kill Wang Xianchuan, while a group of Guangxi generals began to protect the main general, and the generals of the two sides immediately became a ball.

A moment later, the fierce fighting in the Chinese tent spread to the entire rebel camp, and the Guangdong and Guangxi generals each rushed out of the Chinese tent and began to call their soldiers, and the two sides immediately fought separately and fought inside and outside the camp.

At this time, it was already close to dusk, not only the defenders in Xinfeng County were dumbfounded, looking at the rebel camp outside the city into a mess, even Yan Jizu, who had just led the army to the north of Xinfeng County, was also startled when he received the report that he did not receive the night at this time, and even subconsciously thought that this was the rebels' plan to lure the enemy.

It wasn't until batches of nights did not collect returns, and even some of the soldiers who did not collect at night rushed to the rebel camp to determine that the rebels were really fighting in the house, Yan Jizu was overjoyed, and said loudly to Zu Yonghai, the general of the Fubiao battalion, Geng Yu, the general of the Leiden battalion, Qian Maoli, the general of the Yanqing battalion, and Mao Buyu, the general of the Jidong battalion: "The Fubiao battalion arrived at Xinfeng County with this Fujin to set up defenses, and the rest of the battalions immediately pressed on, and they must encircle and annihilate the rebels in a battle!" ”

"Order!!"

Subsequently, Yan Jizu and General Zu Yonghai led the army to bypass the rebel camp and directly deploy defenses in the west of Xinfeng County.

Geng Yu, the general of the Fulaiden battalion, Qian Maoli, the general of the Yanqing battalion, and Mao Buyu, the general of the Jidong battalion, each led their troops and horses to form three phalanxes, and the finished glyphs pressed up to the rebel camp.

"Put!"

Rumble!!

Soon, the three garrison battalions arrived a mile north of the rebel barracks, and the artillery attached to the army began to roar, beating the rebel barracks into sawdust, and many unlucky rebel soldiers were directly hit by the shells, and the flesh and blood were blurred and torn apart.

After about half an hour of shelling by the three garrison formations, they began to continue their advance, while a large number of cavalry officers and soldiers began to bypass the rebel camp and wander to the flanks and south to prevent the rebels from fleeing in all directions.

"Put!"

More than 60,000 people from the three garrison battalions, 40,000 or 50,000 bird guns began to fire in a volley, and a huge roar sounded instantly, causing the rebels who were still fighting in the infighting just now to collapse in an instant, and more than 100,000 people began to disperse.

Wang Xianchuan, the chief military officer of Guangdong, was like a lost dog at this time, under the protection of a group of family members, fled to the west, but was immediately blocked by a team of garrison battalion soldiers, and threw several earth-shattering thunderbolts in front of him, with a burst of explosions, Wang Xianchuan was killed on the spot, and a group of family members were also seriously injured.

"Rush in!"

Geng Yu, general of the Leiden battalion, Qian Maoli, general of the Yanqing battalion, and Mao Buyu, general of the Jidong battalion, successively ordered that the soldiers of the three garrison battalions rushed into the dilapidated camp to encircle and suppress the rebel soldiers and horses inside.

At this time, whether it was the Guangdong soldiers or the Guangxi soldiers, they had no fighting spirit, and in the face of the devastated garrison soldiers, the rebel soldiers and horses knelt on the ground and asked for surrender.

The battle ended quickly, and it only lasted for more than an hour, and the 110,000 rebels led by Wang Xianchuan were destroyed.

After the war, Yan Jizu did not lead his troops into Xinfeng County, after receiving the report of the soldiers cleaning the battlefield, and learned the news that Wang Xianchuan, the chief military officer of Guangdong, was battled, and this battle was so anticlimactic, Yan Jizu realized a problem, that is, there was no will to fight within the rebels, and it was completely the existence of collapse at the touch of a button.

Therefore, the top priority now is to recover the lost territory and arrest Ding Kuichu as soon as possible.

Soon, Yan Jizu led his troops all the way south, and the 10,000 rebel soldiers and horses stationed in Longnan County and Dingnan County were also vulnerable.

Later, Yan Jizu led the army into Guangdong and commanded the army to raid Heping County.

Ding Kuichu, who had not had time to escape in the city, was directly besieged in the city, Yan Jizu looked at the banner of the governor of Liangguang that was still fluttering on the head of the city, and most of the fatigue of the past few days instantly dissipated.

"Siege now!"

Yan Jizu immediately commanded the soldiers of the four battalions to besiege Heping County on all sides, and the siege battle began.

At this time, there were only a few thousand soldiers and horses of Ding Kuichu's standard battalion in Heping County, and they were no match for the imperial army at all.

In addition, the imperial army came from the north, and it was clear that the hundreds of thousands of troops in Liangguang had been defeated, which was desperate news for Ding Kuichu and thousands of soldiers and horses.

Therefore, as soon as this siege battle began, the north gate and west gate of Heping County were directly opened by the defenders, and the soldiers and horses of the superintendent battalion in the city surrendered voluntarily.

In the afternoon, Yan Jizu led the army to catch Ding Kuichu in the county office, at this time Ding Kuichu was sitting in danger, originally ready to commit suicide, but when the matter came, he couldn't do it, so that when he was arrested by the soldiers of the garrison, the dagger in Ding Kuichu's hand fell directly to the ground, and Ding Kuichu sat on the ground and cried.
