An Bangyan raised troops in response to She Ni, and the military report of gathering people to besiege Guiyang was quickly reported to Zhu Youxiao.
After Zhu Youxiao read it carefully, he was greatly surprised. An Bangyan finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Perhaps the news of She Chongming's successive victories and capture of Chongqing affected him, and he had begun to envy the fruits of She Chongming's victory.
He has leapt over the Dragon Gate, established the Daliang Kingdom, and become the king of Daliang. He is worshiped by civil and military officials and ordinary people, but he is still a small consolation envoy. This comparison is really unsightly.
But Zhu Youxiao no matter what the reason was that caused An Bangyan to raise troops earlier than in history, his intention had been achieved, and now it was time to send troops to quell the chaos and wipe out the rebels.
He immediately sounded the drum and ordered the generals to come to the big tent to listen to the order.
In addition to the generals of the Yulin Army, the generals who had evacuated from Chongqing City were also gathered here to stand by. The main task of attack and main force was naturally carried out by the elites of the Yulin Army. They would serve as the second echelon to assist in the encirclement and suppression.
"After nearly half a month of forbearance, the time has come to suppress the rebellion. This will be our first direct battle with the rebels. I don't want to hear or see the unfavorable situation of the expedition."
"In this battle, we must show the style of our Ming army, especially the Yulin army. Don't forget how we galloped on the grassland in the past. Don't tarnish the name of an elite soldier. We must completely defeat the rebels in one battle."
The emperor was finally going to send troops, and the military generals were naturally extremely excited. There was no doubt that this was a battle that must be won and a rare opportunity to make great achievements, so they all replied loudly and loudly:
"only!"
Zhu Youxiao pointed at the sand table with a long wooden stick and said:
"The main force of the extravagant rebels is now resting in the Chongqing area. After the attack in the past few days, there should be as many as 70,000 to 80,000 capable troops left."
"And our encirclement and suppression forces are only half of theirs. We can attack more with less. Do you have confidence!"
The generals replied without hesitation:
"have!"
Zhu Youxiao shouted a good word and then said:
"Although the Sheni Army has a large number of people, most of them are temporarily recruited refugees and surrendered soldiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death. They can basically fall down with the wind, and their combat effectiveness is completely negligible."
"But the more than 30,000 Yi soldiers under She Ni's command cannot be underestimated. These are the elites of She Ni who dare to fight. This time it is another battle in the mountains and jungles. For them, they have every advantage. Be sure to Be careful!”
"This time we are adopting the tactic of encirclement on three sides and advancing separately to attack together. At that time, Qin Bangping will lead the 10,000 sergeants of the Yulin Army in Hu Ben Taishan and the 3,000 sergeants of the Shenji Battalion to come out of the forest and attack from the enemy's front first!"
"General Qin, this is our first battle against the rebels, and it is also the first one to launch an attack. We must show She Ni a little bit of strength, and show off the power of our Yulin army, and the spirit of our Ming army." , I will suppress them firmly in Chongqing, and they will not be able to move even a step!"
Qin Bangping knew that the task was heavy, and if he fought it well, this might be his battle to become famous, so he took the imperial sword seal and received the military order very seriously.
Fighting in mountains and jungles is extremely disadvantageous for firearms. Unlike the grasslands outside the pass and the northern plains, there is no end in sight.
It is difficult to line up to kill, especially artillery. It is too difficult to exert its power in places where the field of vision is not wide, but it is always better than nothing.
However, with four thousand heavily armored soldiers, Zhu Youxiao believed that Qin Bangping would live up to his expectations.
Then he transferred all the 2,000 cavalrymen in the Yulin Army who were serving as guards this time to Cao Wenzhao, and he led the 2,000 cavalrymen to Chongqing through the mountain and forest roads.
Their main task is to wait until the main force of the rebels is defeated head-on, and then hunt down the fleeing rebels as a team of 300 or 500 people.
They can also wait for opportunities to attack their rear bases, create chaos, and coordinate the main force.
Du Wenhuan's 5,000 Chongqing city defense troops have also been dispatched to coordinate the attack on Qin Bangping's flank. In order to ensure that the joint attack mission can be successfully completed, Zhu Youxiao's remaining 2,000 Yulin troops will also join forces with them. Attack all the way together.
However, the two thousand troops were not under Du Wenhuan's command and dispatch. Zhu Youxiao temporarily promoted a thousand generals to guerrillas. The two sides cooperated in fighting, and actually had the intention of supervising the war.
As for the rebels' rear area, the elite chieftain soldiers led by Qin Liangyu were responsible for attacking. After She Ni's main force and attention were attracted to the front, they launched a surprise surprise attack.
This kind of surprise battle, as long as it is commanded properly and no mistakes are made, the results should not be small.
Luzhou is a transit point for the rebels. Since Zhu Youxiao wants to carry out a large-scale encirclement and annihilation campaign, he naturally cannot leave a way out for She Ni.
Although he had dispatched Chen Guang early and led heavy troops to conduct a defensive ambush in the narrowest river basin in the middle section of the Yangtze River connecting the two cities, this was not enough.
Since there is a fight, let's fight a big one. Luzhou will naturally be taken back, and there is an important person there, She Yin, the son of She Ni, is here.
But the military orders he issued to Zhu Xieyuan did not include the so-called deadly orders of capturing Luzhou at all costs and must capture Sheyin alive.
When the two armies are fighting, there has always been a saying and tactic of capturing the thief first and capturing the king first. This trick is indeed useful, but it depends on the scoring background and timing. Not everyone can capture the king first in every battle.
Moreover, Zhu Youxiao's fighting style has always been to annihilate the enemy's living resistance. After wiping out his army and basic base, can he, a mere commander, make a huge difference?
In addition, the Ming army still had more than 20,000 Wang Ping's troops in Neijiang. Although they were fighting across the river, it was more than enough to defeat Luzhou, which only had 5,000 defenders. Zhu Youxiao was also prepared to divide this garrison. For two.
Along the way, he followed Zhu Xieyuan to attack Luzhou and regain the lost territory, and on the way he crossed the Yangtze River and attacked Hejiang.
Then occupy Chishui to prevent the Luzhou rebels from going south, and their base camp Yongning escapes, completely cutting off the rebel territory.
Split the rebel forces that are connected to each other into three parts, block the connection between them at the same time, and defeat them one by one.
The 10,000 troops led by Lu Qin will set out from Gongxian County to attack Yongning, the headquarters of Sheni. Zhu Youxiao's military order is that if the Yongning rebels are powerful and outnumbered, the purpose is to defeat and annihilate them. There are many, and it is difficult to attack the enemy, so we should focus on containment.
From an overall perspective, as long as Yongning's rebels are unable to rush north for reinforcements, then his journey will be considered a success, and Zhu Youxiao will reward the entire army.
In order to ensure that no mistakes were made, Zhu Youxiao also sent the Jin Yiwei from the law enforcement team south to act as supervisors and observe and record the entire battle.
As for An Bangyan, after he has dealt with She Ni, he will concentrate his superior forces and push forward in a wave. He does not have so many troops to lay out the land in Sichuan and Guizhou provinces, and his appetite is not that big.
