Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 414

Sun Kewang's camp outside Chengdu.

A few days ago, Sun Kewang defeated his rivals Gao Guiying and Li Yan, entered Sichuan from Yunnan, and regained half of the sky in Sichuan.

Gao Guiying and Li Yan insisted on guarding the city and not fighting. They approached the city, and after they had no hope of attacking the city, they tried every means to force the Ming army to fight.But no matter how Sun Kewang's men struggled outside, Gao Guiying and Li Yan closed the city gate and ignored them.

But in the past few days, Sun Kewang's men and horses outside the city did not come to call the city to scold and fight.

Of course, they also have an intelligence system. Lin Yi marched into Chengdu with a mighty army of 10, and the momentum was naturally not small.

With so many reinforcements coming from the Ming army at once, Sun Kewang and others had to think about it despite their arrogance, especially when the Ming supervisor Guolin personally supervised the division.

Now when Lin Yi is mentioned, women and children know it, and no one knows it, like the sun and the moon in the sky.

Lin Yi has traveled through the past ten years, and he has been vigorous and vigorous. He dared to stand shoulder to shoulder with the ancestors of the Taizu Chengzu. He started from a small soldier in the frontier army, punishing thieves, killing factory guards, and killing Tartars. All the way is vigorous, especially in recent years. rise.She Tatian, Luo Rucai, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, etc., which of these gangsters were not planted by Lin Yi?
Drive the Tartars to the north, expedition to Mongolia, surrender to North Korea, all the soldiers are invincible wherever they go, from Huang Taiji to Dorgon, how many heroes in the Manchu Qing Dynasty actually bowed down for Lin Yi, and they don't have any temper when they are tossed. When he was expelled from the country, he hid in the deep mountains and old forests in the northeast.

May I ask such an influential figure, who is not in awe?

Therefore, Sun Kewang's soldiers and horses did not dare to fight outside the city easily, and ran under the eyes of the Ming defenders outside the city, drinking and playing, cursing wildly, playing with women, and even defecating and urinating at the Ming army at the top of the city. I dare not have any provocative behavior.

Moreover, Sun Kewang ordered the soldiers to retreat fifteen miles away, re-set up camp, and sent a large number of horses to investigate the situation of the Ming army, and then immediately called his staff to discuss the military situation.

There are a lot of talents in the big tent, and their troops can be roughly divided into three factions. One is the remnant Daxi forces headed by Sun Kewang. This is of course the mainstream, with 10,000+ troops.

The second faction is the Burmese army that supports Sun Kewang. It is mainly an invincible elephant army. As a special force, they were ordered by the king of Burma to cross the border to help the soldiers.

Then there is Wang Mutian of Yunnan and his chieftain army, which numbered 8 to 20.The combination of these three forces has more than [-] soldiers and horses, and their strength is very strong.

In the big tent, Sun Kewang was sitting in the middle, Ai Nengqi and Mu Tianbo were sitting on the left and right, the military adviser Yan Ximing, general Wang Dingguo, Ma Yuanli and others were also sitting. These were all followers of Sun Kewang in Zhang Xianzhong's group. He is the Right Prime Minister of Daxi Kingdom, Wang Dingguo used to be the former general of the army, Ma Yuanli used to be the general of the left army, because Zhang Xianzhong was imprisoned in Beijing, Sun Kewang fell out with Li Dingguo, Daxi is now dead in name only, and now these people have become Sun Kewang's best friends.

In addition, the general of the Burmese army, Wen Ke, is also sitting, and the rest are also courageous and strategic generals, including the chieftain generals of Yunnan, Sha Dingzhou, Long Zaitian, and Wu Bikui. Of course, these are hereditary kings of Yunnan. Mu Tianbo, Duke of Guizhou, is a faction.

Sun Kewang said that everyone must know that Lin Yi, the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, has personally arrived in Chengdu and brought 10 reinforcements at once. It seems that those who come are not good, and those who are kind do not come. Yi is brave and invincible in the world, and he uses soldiers like a god. How to deal with the Ming army's capture of Chengdu, please give us your advice.

Some people don't like to listen to Sun Kewang's words, that is, they are not convinced.The first one is Wen Ke, a general of the Burmese Army. His face is like black clay, and his mouth is slightly thick, similar to Stallone's character in the movie.

This person is not very fluent in Chinese when he speaks Chinese, but everyone present can understand it.

"Why do you say that the man surnamed Lin is so powerful? He is invincible in the world and uses soldiers like a god. Could it be that he is stronger than our elephant army? It's not that I, Wen Ke, made a big talk. No matter how powerful Lin is, let him lead There are a million soldiers here, and my elephant army can't hold back, as long as I can find a way to get them out of the city for a decisive battle, I will win this battle!"

The guy was spitting and spitting stars, and he waved his big fist, which was covered with thick hair.

At this time, Ainengqi stopped him, because they came to help, so Ainengqi was very polite to him.

"General Wenke is very powerful. Of course, how can Lin Yi's army compare with the general's elephant king? But as the saying goes, a soldier who is arrogant is bound to lose. When we encounter such an opponent, we should not take it lightly. It is better to be more cautious."

By saying this, Ainengqi actually gave this General Wenk a lot of face. Back then, he was much more arrogant than General Wenk.A pair of big hammers are powerful and heavy, and there is no opponent.But the bloody battle in Jingzhou back then made him have a long memory, and he no longer dared to think that he was invincible.

At this time, the second one spoke unconvinced, and the second unconvinced one was of course Yunnan Wang Mu Tianbo.

He is the hereditary Duke of Dian, the general who conquers the South.When Zhu Yuanzhang took Huaixi 24 generals to conquer the world, what kind of hero was his ancestor Muying?Adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang as a adopted son, he joined the army as a young man, wiped out Chen Youliang, king of the Southern Han Dynasty, wiped out Zhang Shicheng, conquered Tubo, drove northward to the Great Yuan Dynasty, made many military exploits, and made great contributions to the expansion of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang personally conferred the title, and the Duke of Dian was hereditary. This title is even more powerful than the Qing Dynasty's Grandpa.

Now it is his generation, which has passed eleven generations.The Ming Dynasty has been riddled with holes like the setting sun on the western mountains.

But Mu Tianbo is not obsessed, nor is he like other playboys, playing with birds and wasting his time.Instead, he took the bravery of his ancestors as an example, coupled with his family's wealth, he learned the art of war since he was a child, and asked his master to teach him martial arts. When he grew up, he loved martial arts, visited famous teachers all over the world, and finally trained an amazing body He is especially good at using copper hammers for routing wires. It can be said that he has never met an opponent.If it comes to heads-up, even brave masters like Sun Kewang and Ai Nengqi have to bow down.

Not long ago, when Sun Kewang entered Yunnan, they had a contest.

So now when he heard that Sun Kewang and Ai Nengqi had praised Lin Yi to the sky, of course he was not convinced.

"General,"

Mu Tianbo called Sun Kewang the Great General, because now Sun Kewang couldn't talk about inheriting the Daxi Emperor anymore. After falling out with Li Dingguo, even the troop number changed, and he no longer talked about grandeur, but teamed up with Mu Tianbo. In one place, a rebel army was formed, claiming to be the general of the rebel army.

Their banner is the side of the Qing emperor, which is to eliminate the bad guys around the emperor. Of course, the bad guys they are talking about refer to Ji Dong.

They supported the crown prince Zhu Cihong, the son of Emperor Chongzhen.In fact, what they did was to use the tiger's skin as a banner, because they had never seen what the crown prince looked like.

What's even more bizarre is that Sun Kewang even played such a slogan. If Mu Tianbo played such a banner, he is considered famous as a teacher, because after all, he was the Duke of Qian in the Ming Dynasty, the hereditary king of Yunnan, and the general who conquered the South. It's a little ridiculous to play.

Don't forget that his predecessor was General Daxi, the bandit of Daming.Now he has suddenly changed, and he wants to support Daming's crown prince.In fact, this means that prostitutes want to set up chastity memorial archways to make public favor.

"Xiao Wang has heard of Lin Yi's fame for a long time. If given the opportunity, Xiao Wang would like to have a few matches with Lin Yi and see who wins."

Mu Tianbo's words were also very subtle. In fact, what he meant was that he wanted to challenge Lin Yi one-on-one, to see if Lin Yi was as good as Sun Kewang and Ai Nengqi.

Sun Kewang knew that he was not convinced, and said with a smile: "My lord is so brave that no one can match him. However, the thief Lin's kung fu is weird. It's not that the general's prestige and prestige of the enemy destroyed him. In the battle of Jingzhou, his father Zhang Xianzhong put him down. The empty city plan was perfectly planned, and I thought I could catch the turtle in the urn and get rid of this thief. However, people are not as good as God, and for some reason, they were seen through by the surname Lin. This thief reversed the empty city plan and made us fall into a big fool As a result, there was a bloody battle, corpses littered the field, blood flowed into rivers, and in the scuffle, I met Lin Bandit. Later, General Ai, Li Dingguo, and Father Emperor Zhang Xianzhong came up to help one after another, and the four of us still couldn't beat him. In a white text selection, the five of us worked together to kill the thief, although I killed the thief, I was seriously injured and almost died, which shows that this thief is tough."

When Sun Kewang said this, the thrilling scene of the bloody battle in Jingzhou still appeared in front of his eyes.

His words also resonated, because several generals present had participated in the bloody battle at that time, such as Ai Nengqi, Wang Shangli, Ma Yuanli, etc., nodded frequently when they heard this, and looked terrified.

In particular, Ai Nengqi felt the same way, and couldn't help interjecting: "What the general said is that we were lucky to be able to escape unscathed. It was also in that battle that the two brave generals Ma Jinzhong and Liu Jinzhong , in order to cover our retreat and stop the forest bandit for a fight, it is said that the two generals were both killed within three times before the forest bandit's horse."

Seeing that all the generals present, including Mu Tianbo, were fascinated, Sun Kewang hurriedly brought the conversation back.

"Of course, Lord Mu's brass hammer is the best. If one day, Lord Mu and Bandit Lin meet, this general believes that Lord Mu will be able to beat Lin Bandit to the ground with one hammer!"

"Yes, yes, how can we ordinary people be compared with Lord Mu." Ai Nengqi, Wang Shangli, and Ma Yuanli quickly echoed.

Mu Tianbo was very pleased when he heard this, and said: "With the good words from the general and everyone, I hope this day will come."

At this time, Sun Kewang's eyes fell on Yan Ximing's face.

"What's your opinion, sir?"

He is the only real cultural person here, and the others are all warriors. This is Zhang Xianzhong's right prime minister before he proclaimed himself emperor.

Originally, in the era of Emperor Zhang Xianzhong, there were two prime ministers on the left and one on the right. The left prime minister looked like Wang Zhaolin, who was also resourceful and talented in governing the country.But Wang Zhaolin supported Li Dingguo and followed Li Dingguo.Now Sun Kewang only had a right prime minister left in front of him, and Sun Kewang regarded him as a military adviser and think tank, and he had to refer to his opinions for important decisions and difficult matters.

This time, he joined forces with Mu Tianbo and played the banner of Qing Jun, which was the attention of Prime Minister Yan.

When others were talking about it just now, this big think tank closed his eyes slightly as if he was asleep, and didn't say a word.

Now hearing what Sun Kewang said, Yan Ximing opened his eyes.

"General, Lord Mu, all generals, I don't dare to be high-spirited. I think the key now is to let the forest thieves go out of the city to fight. You brave generals lead our invincible soldiers to lead the way. General Wenke's elephant army will finish the battle. The Ming army will be defeated, and the forest bandits can be captured."

When Yan Ximing said this, he stroked his long beard and shook his head. He said it in a relaxed and natural way, and he had a plan in his mind. He really had the demeanor of Zhuge Liang.

Sun Kewang, Mu Tianbo and others nodded frequently.

"Sir, you are really clever, but if the Ming army still sticks to the city, what should you do if you don't want to fight?"

"Huh," Yan Xi Mingming snorted softly, "Just now General Sun said that the bandit Lin is invincible in the world, and he uses soldiers like a god. He has won consecutive battles these years, is invincible inside and outside the pass, and has become famous on both sides of the Yangtze River. I only know that there are people who don’t know anyone. Now there are 10 supervisors, and they are marching thousands of miles south to Xijing. It is absolutely impossible for them to stick to the city and not want to fight. Compared with this time, he is more anxious than us, but his foothold is not secure. This time we retreat At 5 miles, the battlefield has been set up for the bandits, just wait, he will come sooner or later."

Sun Kewang met Mu Tianbo's eyes, and the two of them nodded, "Mr. has a clever plan, so Mr. Yi."

In the middle of the night that day, cannons were fired again in the city of Chengdu, and guns were fired again, shouting and killing.Toss in the east, toss in the west.

Such a movement alarmed the spies outside the city. Sun Kewang woke up from his sleep. After receiving the report, he immediately called for Mu Tianbo. The two thought it was definitely a mutiny in the city, so they immediately mobilized a hundred thousand troops and attacked the city overnight up.

The elephant army was also alarmed. Wen Ke was so drowsy that he couldn't sleep. He drove thousands of elephants and followed behind with his fat body shaking.

When they reached the bank of the moat, Sun Kewang didn't order the attack immediately for the sake of safety, and they sent people to conduct a careful investigation.

Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo sat on their horses and looked towards the opposite city. At this time, the city seemed to be boiling, and the shouts and killings were louder and louder. The sound of cannons from time to time was earth-shattering. Then it illuminated the western sky.

After their careful investigation, it was confirmed that there was undoubtedly a mutiny among soldiers in the city.

"Siege the city with artillery, go!"

With one order, this army also has hundreds of cannons in red clothes, which were pushed to the artillery position. After aiming, adjusting the rear sight, reloading, and a series of procedures, the torches were lit, and the gunpowder fuse...

Just when Sun Kewang and the others were tossing outside the city, the city was already heavily fortified.

At this time, the city gate tower was dark and quiet on the surface, as if all the soldiers guarding the city had either fallen asleep, or they had all been transferred to Pingxi City and left.

In fact, at this time, the number of soldiers defending the city was doubled compared to usual, reaching 16, and none of them slept. , the red cannons on the city had already been prepared, and the defensive objects such as rolling wood, thunder, stone, bow and arrow were piled up like a mountain.

It's just that the Ming army on the city controlled the torches, of course, because they were afraid that the spies outside the city would find out the truth.

Gao Guiying, Song Xiance, and Li Yan are all standing on the top of the city with their helmets on. The rest of the generals Li Guo, Li Laiheng, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Gao Yigong, Tian Jianxiu, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, and Huang Degong , all of them appeared on the top of the city at this time, and there was no shortage of one.

When Gao Jie, Zuo Liangyu and Li Chengdong were tossing around in the city, these generals were already in place.

Of course, Gao Guiying, Song Xiance and Li Yan also received the report, and many soldiers will come to the three of them to ask for some troops to escort and quell the mutiny.

Gao Guiying, Li Yan, and Song Xiance rejected them with one voice: "Everything is within the expectation of Lord Jianguo, our task is to defend the city, there are standard battalion, invincible battalion, guard battalion and women's battalion. "

"But we are waiting here, Sun Kewang, will they come to attack the city?" Many generals raised objections.

"Don't worry, they will definitely come."...
