Yuanmou, Wu Bikui's territory.
In early September, they shouted slogans and sang loudly all the way to attack Kunming. They reached the gate of Kunming in ten days. Then... Mu Tianbo led the coalition forces to attack head-on, and beat them to retreat. After ten days, they were beaten back where they came from. If it weren't for Mu Tianbo, In order to prevent Sha Dingzhou from leading his troops back to Kunming, if Wu Zhaoyuan had not repeatedly stopped him from continuing to fight, Wu Bikui would have been killed within a month of his rebellion, just like in history!
Fortunately, he was not dead yet, but he was already clinging to life. He used his last bit of strength to fight with the coalition forces to stop him from the door, but he also knew that he could not hold on for much longer. There was no way out now, or he would fight to the death. , or run away!
But throwing away the family property accumulated over generations and running away is really not willing to let go. Where can I run away to?
Yunnan is so vast that no matter how hard we fight, there will be no room for it, so...
Go to Sichuan, yes, if you can't bear it anymore, go to Sichuan and join Zhang Xianzhong!
Wu Bikui knew very well at this time that he could not defeat him. If he could only fight against the officers and soldiers alone, he might still be able to defend his territory even if he could not defeat him. But they still had the chieftain alliance, led by Long Zaitian and Lu Yongming. The chieftain was loyal to Prince Mu's Mansion and followed his lead, attacking wherever he pointed. This time, it was not so much a defeat at the hands of the officers and soldiers as it was a disastrous defeat at the hands of the chieftain's coalition forces!
Since Wu Bikui had this idea, he hastily made preparations, packing gold, silver, and soft goods and preparing to run away at any time. It happened that the officers and soldiers did not continue the attack due to the setback in the previous battle and were busy resting their troops and horses in the past few days, which gave him a chance to breathe.
But just when Wu Bikui was secretly packing up and preparing to run away, someone suddenly came to the door. People from Shadingzhou came, saying that they had surrounded Kunming City at this time and were attacking the city, and asked him to join forces to do it together!
Fuck your sister, I’ve been beaten like this and I can’t even save my own yard, why should I follow you to attack Kunming City? What the hell are you doing? Are you treating me as cannon fodder or are you a fool? I must Kui was angry when he heard this, but the other party said that he didn't need to attack Kunming City. He only needed to contain the officers and soldiers here. After the Kunming City was broken over there, they would come back to help. He would not be treated badly!
Wu Bikui is moved! But he couldn't figure out the truth and didn't dare to agree. He didn't know if Sha Dingzhou and Mu Tianbo were acting to deceive him. He had to at least confirm it first, so he sent his confidants to bypass the encirclement and go to Kunming to meet Wan. He ran back to Yuanmou overnight to retaliate to Wu Bikui. This is true!
Wu Bikui is overjoyed! The sky has eyes so that his life should not be cut off. To be honest, he doesn't care whether Sha Dingzhou can capture Kunming City. He doesn't believe that Sha Dingzhou can gain much benefit from capturing Kunming City, but the immediate benefits are real. If The officers and soldiers besieging him would definitely withdraw their troops if they knew that Kunming City was surrounded. Wouldn't he be saved in this way?
Wonderful!
At this time, Long Zaitian and others who were eager to make contributions launched another attack. Wu Bikui rushed to fight, but was defeated and retreated thirty miles! Long Zaitian Chengsheng was chasing after him, and Wu Bikui used his big move: Shabi, Kunming is about to be defeated by Sha Dingzhou, and you are still fucking beating me here!
Long Zaitian and others were shocked when they heard this. Why?
Because none of the spies they sent to Kunming to deliver letters have returned in the past few days, I thought they were delayed on the way. Now when I heard what Wu Bikui said, I became suspicious, but it was impossible to believe them all. Who knows Did Wu Bikui deliberately infiltrate a group of people in order to delay? Bypassing the encirclement and hiding on the only way between Yuanmou and Kunming, he ambush the messengers in order to confuse himself. At this time, Long Zaitian and others still did not believe Sha Ding. Zhou will rebel because this guy's scheming is so well hidden!
So Long Zaitian continued to surround Wu Bikui while sending people to Kunming to investigate. This time it was a team of 100 people.
Yuanmou is nearly four hundred miles away from Kunming. It takes at least one day and night to travel in a hurry, and three days to go back and forth. But it was not until the fifth day that the team of 100 people sent out came back, and six people came back!
Kunming City is really surrounded!
How many soldiers and horses are there? Tens of thousands of people! (Ruan Yunjia’s reinforcements have arrived)
Now Long Zaitian and others were panicking. There were only two thousand guards in Kunming city. How could they defend it against tens of thousands of people? They wanted to return troops immediately to support them, but a small group of troops could arrive all day and night without stopping, but a large army would take at least three days!
Can Kunming survive in the city?
And when the troops return here, will Wu Bikui take the opportunity to attack from behind and attack from both front and back together with Sha Dingzhou?
No, no, no, no, no! I Bikui sent people to sue for peace. For the sake of me being the informant, I will atone for my sins with my merits. I will be absolutely obedient from now on, and I am willing to pay a fine of silver, just to survive!
Just like that, Long Zaitian hurriedly led his troops to come back for reinforcements. Mu Tianbo was beaten to death and he didn't expect that Wu Bikui was the one who informed him. Sha Dingzhou and Wanshi were beaten to death, but they didn't expect that Wu Bikui would turn around and kill him. sold!
In front of interests, the reality is so cruel!
Long Zaitian didn't know if he would be able to rush to the rescue in time. He originally wanted to lead the cavalry to rush to the rescue first, but he was afraid of being ambushed. After all, there were mountains everywhere here and there were places for ambush everywhere. He could only follow the army and move slowly. With.
At this time, Mu Tianbo in Kunming City did not know that Long Zaitian was already on the way to help, and he had no time to think about it, because the Wan family had already begun to attack the city. Facing the attack of tens of thousands of people, his heart was in his throat. Eye!
If he wins this battle, his name, Mu Tianbo, will be resounding throughout the government and the public. If he loses, the Mu family will be destroyed!
Wan was eager to save her husband, and she had been holding fire for the past few days. When Ruan Yunjia came with reinforcements at noon, he only rested for a short afternoon. In the evening, he ordered a siege and attack on the city. In order to boost morale, he threatened to plunder the city for three days after breaking it. Women can grab gold and silver treasures at will!
The darkest animalistic nature of human beings was aroused, and tens of thousands of people roared to fight into the city!
Some of these people are the regular army of Mengzi Tusi, some are reserve forces, some are ordinary young men, and some are even cannon fodder picked up halfway. This is the trick the bandit army is best at using, and Ruan Yunjia picks it up and uses it effortlessly!
There are six gates in Kunming. The west side is adjacent to Dianchi Lake and cannot deploy troops on a large scale. The two east gates have pontoon bridges pulled up and are not suitable for main attack. Therefore, Wanshi placed the main attack points at the south gate and north gate, and used his two most cruel and fierce generals. , Li Rifang and Wang Shuo, why are they said to be cruel? Because in history, the two followed Sha Dingzhou to conquer Kunming, then fought everywhere and captured Menghua and Dali, and then slaughtered the two cities!
The chieftain army has a complete range of arms, including musketeers, cavalry, elephant soldiers, infantry, artillery... Wan also knows how to fight. The small cannons shoot down from high up. Of course, he does not dare to blast the east gate tower because his husband is hanging there. Archers and musketeers rushed to the shooting range and fired upwards to suppress the city head. The stormtroopers set up ladders and infantrymen rushed up. Elephants were used to hold the door-ramming carts to attack the city gate...
Tens of thousands of people charged from all directions, which made Mu Tianbo and others on the top of the city feel numb and their palms became sweaty!
Because there are too many people!
Although they have a lot of people, many of them are ordinary people who have been temporarily recruited. They can do work and move things. If they really fight and see blood, they will be so scared that their legs will go weak and they will cry for father and mother... Mu Tianbo Five hundred troops were divided into the north and south gates respectively, and the remaining men were divided into the east and west gates to direct the young men to smash rocks, pour gold juice, and push ladders with hooks and sickles... All the artillery on the city tops was fired against the foreign rebels. The scene is intense and bloody!
