In November of the seventh year of Tianqi, 500 Imperial Guards and 5,000 Beijing troops led by Zhu Dingguo arrived at the front line.
At this time, the 5,000 Beijing camp was no longer the kind of soldiers who made up the numbers. After Zhu Dingguo's practice while walking, coupled with sufficient food and salary supplies and the occasional raids on bandit nests on the road, Jingying can definitely be considered an elite at this time.
After understanding the current situation in the hands of Zhu Xieyuan, the governor and governor of Sichuan, Zhu Dingguo was not busy taking over Zhu Xieyuan's command.
With the help of the secret guard's intelligence system, after learning the location of the Shuixi'an clan, he personally led his troops and quietly rushed to Guizhou.
December 1, Apocalypse 7. Taking advantage of the Shuixi'an clan's lax defense, Zhu Dingguo led his troops to capture the Shuixi'an clan's clan territory in one fell swoop.
Zhu Dingguo then released many of the Shuixi'an clan's descendants and asked them to send messages to other chieftains. After half a month, they would either surrender or lead a large army to fight. If he doesn't come, then all the rest of the Shuixi'an clan will be slaughtered.
The influence of the Shuixian clan in Guizhou, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is no less than that of the emperor in the capital.
In just half a month, the chieftain of Guizhou gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses under the leadership of An Bangyan to come to the rescue.
On December 16, the seventh year of Apocalypse, the two sides agreed that three days later, they would set up a battle array to decide who was the best.
Zhu Dingguo's move was simply to show these chieftains that their so-called army was vulnerable to the Beijing camp.
This forced the chieftains to surrender.
After all, there are many mountains and forests in Guizhou. If the other party hides in the mountains and forests and plays hide-and-seek with me, I really have no good way to solve it.
Although An Bangyan was concerned about the safety of his family, he readily agreed after seeing that the troops were tired and knowing that Zhu Dingguo only had more than 5,000 troops.
In order to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp at night, An Bangyan would leave 20,000 troops on guard every night.
December 20, Apocalypse 7. Early in the morning, Zhu Dingguo had set up his formation. After An Bangyan and his side also set up their formation, Zhu Dingguo released tens of thousands of Shui Xi'an clan members who had been hungry for several days with a wave of his hand.
An Bangyan, who was in front of the battle, originally thought that the Ming army would drive his own people to attack, but he ordered that he not attack his own people without his own orders.
Unexpectedly, until all the tribesmen were placed in the back and the Ming army did not attack, I suddenly felt confused.
"An Bangyan, I let your tribe go just to have a chat with you. Do you dare to come out?"
Zhu Dingguo stood in front of the Ming army and shouted.
"Why don't you dare?" An Bangyan, who was originally full of doubts, shouted out of the formation after hearing the news.
"Rebellion is a major crime against the nine clans. I want to know why you are rebelling?"
"Haha, why are you rebelling? Why don't you ask, why are the people here rebelling? The court is stupid. Dog officials are rampant, so they have to rebel."
"You have to resist, so why don't you surrender now?"
Zhu Dingguo changed the topic and directly asked the other party why he still didn't surrender.
An Bangyan didn't react for a moment, and I said that the court was fatuous. The dog officials are running rampant and I have to fight back. What do you mean by asking me to surrender? If we don't surrender, can you still destroy us?
Please, I have 100,000 troops here, but you only have more than 5,000.
Do you really think that your more than 5,000 people are made of iron?
"Since you don't reply, it will be treated as your refusal. I will give you one stick of incense time. After one stick of incense time, we will launch an attack. Anyone who kneels down and surrenders will be spared death. Otherwise, he will be shot to death."
Zhu Dingguo issued the final order.
An Bangyan wanted to say a few words, but seeing that Zhu Dingguo had returned to the military formation, he didn't say anything.
After all, it's useless to say anything if you can't beat it. Needless to say, it is useful.
After "killing" a stick of incense, Zhu Dingguo issued the order.
Then the Ming army was divided into three columns and marched forward in an orderly manner.
Upon seeing this, An Bangyan also ordered the front army of 20,000 troops to launch an attack.
"Bang bang bang, the two sides were still about 100 steps away, and the Ming army immediately pulled the trigger."
The rebel generals wanted to say something, but before they could say anything urgently, they saw many of their own troops at the front being shot and falling to the ground.
"What a sharp firearm." An Bangyan couldn't help but sigh.
"It's just that the generals are too strong. If they defend on the spot, we may not be able to do anything to them. If we fight but choose to attack, isn't this looking for death?" said a chieftain next to him.
"Throw a grenade." Seeing that the distance between the two sides was less than 50 steps, Zhu Dingguo gave the order to throw a grenade.
As the command flag was waved, 500 biochemical soldiers took out a grenade from their waists and threw it towards the enemy formation.
"Boom, boom, boom" before the enemy could react, those grenades exploded. 500 grenades exploded one after another, directly covering the rebels. When they came to their senses, they found that the 20,000 former troops were no longer enough. Half of it.
The remaining half had already lost their morale, and when they saw the Ming army approaching, they turned around and ran away.
"Hiss." All the rebel generals and chieftain leaders took a breath.
In their view, no matter how sharp the Ming army's firearms were, the 20,000 former troops could not destroy the opponent, but they would also greatly consume the opponent's strength.
No matter how bad it is, it won't be defeated at the first touch. Even if there are 20,000 pigs, they won't be defeated at once.
The 20,000 former army was defeated too quickly. Before the defeated army could react, the Ming army's pursuers broke up and rushed to the front of the formation.
"Boom, boom, boom"
There was another explosion, and before the Chinese soldiers could react, the Ming army opened a gap.
Then the sequence of rout was added.
Before that, the successive defeats of the Chinese army had laid the foundation for Zhu Dingguo's victory.
"Those who kneel down and surrender will not be killed."
"Those who kneel down and surrender will not be killed."
Although due to the geographical location, not everyone could understand the words of the officers and soldiers to persuade them to surrender, but after one person took the lead and knelt down to surrender, the rest also put down their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
The people of the Shuixi'an clan had been released before the war, which shows that these officers and soldiers were not murderers. Naturally, there was no pressure on these soldiers to surrender.
When the chieftain saw this, he wanted to run away and took his tribe back to the mountains to hide for a few days. However, he saw that An Bangyan had not moved and did not dare to move.
In fact, it's not that An Bangyan doesn't want to run, he really can't run. If he runs, his people can't run. Although Zhu Dingguo didn't torture his people, except for the old, weak, sick, disabled, and young, the rest are hungry. It's been a few days and I can't run away at all.
By running away, wouldn't he have thrown his tribe into the opponent's hands again?
If you really do this, what will your own people think of you? How should the rest of the toasts view themselves?
Without the help of tribesmen and other chieftains, how can I be considered useless by myself?
And most importantly, the reason why these chieftains dared to rebel was because the Ming army was vulnerable. Now that their 100,000-strong army was defeated by 5,000 Ming troops, would the other chieftains still have the guts to rebel?
Hiding in the woods is good, but how long can we, who are used to living a good life, stay in the woods?
