After the two armies met, the Lucchuan army drove the war elephants into the formation. The war elephants were all wearing armor and had war towers on their backs. The elephant soldiers stood on the war towers to shoot arrows. There are short spears on the left and right sides of the war elephant to cooperate with the war elephant's sprint.
The Ming army launched artillery, and there were already buried mines in the ground. Suddenly the sky collapsed and the ground collapsed. The infantrymen of Luchan heard the sound and were frightened because they didn't know what it was. However, the war elephants had undergone rigorous training and were very brave. They were not afraid at first. But as the fellows whose entrails were blown out began to cry out, they were finally frightened and all turned around and ran back. The huge formation of the Luchuan Army was attacked by the war elephants, and the Chinese army quickly collapsed inward.
The elephant cavalry and armored soldiers in Luchuan were all scattered like headless flies by the shells, trampling each other and charging into the formation. However, Luchuan still has elite soldiers. This is a must-win battle for decades. The accumulated foundation.
As King Silun of Luchan issued an order, his general Xi Layi led the elite warriors directly under the king to dispatch, holding a javelin and throwing it with all his strength. He first shot the elephants that were running wildly, and then raised his spears to kill those who retreated and fled. Then short spears flew out like dense rain and fell on the artillery camp.
"Damn it, you can actually throw it so far!"
Luchuan immediately appeased Xiangqi, covered his eyes and ears with cloth, and prepared a lineup again. Those who can fight back with an entire army in the face of local defeats and counterattacks must have a strong and powerful country.
Mu Ying remained calm and waved her hand to interrupt the complaints of the generals around her. The Ming army was never afraid of head-on confrontation, and they were not soft-footed shrimps who could only hide behind firearms.
There are strong soldiers in Luchuan, and our Ming Dynasty also has strong soldiers who conquer the world and quell the troubled times. The battlefield here is surrounded by mountains. Firearms can play their role, but they cannot end the battle. In the end, it is up to elite soldiers and strong generals to have the final say.
Yunnan vanguard commander Zhang Yin received the military order and led the front army to charge. He personally led more than a hundred cavalrymen to break the formation as the vanguard. Xi La, the general of Prince Luchan's army, also rode forward on a huge armored elephant that covered his eyes and ears.
The two generals were full of killing intent. Zhang Yin fired his arrows continuously, and the enemy generals also fired their targets. They fought for the lead on the battlefield and were not afraid of life and death. Zhang Yin was originally under Chang Yuchun's command, and then they fought fiercely in the battle of Quzhou and Jiuhua Mountain. Zhang Shicheng defeated Chen Youliang. He has always been a brave soldier. Climbing the front line and entering the battle, he is actually a tiger general.
Seeing that arrows could not break through the iron armor, Zhang Yin's eyes sparkled, his legs were clamped on the horse's iron palms, he moved down and aimed straight at the elephant's exposed left knee and side, he shouted sharply, the arrow passed through like a dragon, hitting the weak ribs, and the elephant suddenly struck out. Falling to the ground, the Ming army roared with might!
Xila also jumped off the elephant horse in advance. Facing Zhang Rongzu, a member of the Ming army who was rushing towards him and wanted to behead the general, he first threw a spear and hit the horse, and then faced him with a spear. In an instant, he shouted and killed thousands of households. The Sichuan army was in great momentum.
The cavalry of the two armies clashed with each other. Countless men and horses turned over, and the infantry also began to confront each other. Mu Ying deployed his artillery and powerful crossbows and fired them together. The sound was loud, and the violent firepower hit the Lucchuan army's formation, making the Lucchuan army's chaos more and more intensified.
Seeing this, Xi La also directly subordinated his elite troops to the left army of the Ming army. These warriors were in complete order among the rebellious army. They fired their javelins first, with a very high hit rate, causing huge damage, and then charged with their swords to kill the left army of the Ming army. He was forced to retreat for a moment.
Mu Ying was in control of the overall situation from a high place, commanding the entire army with flags and orders. When he saw this, he drew his sword and threw it to Feng Sheng: "Go and remove the military power of Tongzhi Guozheng, the general of the left route army, and take his place. If there is any retreat, Those who form the formation will be killed!"
"promise!"
In the formation of the left army of the Ming army, Gu was reprimanding his subordinates and ordered the soldiers who retreated to be killed when he heard the captain report: "Master Feng is coming with the general's sword..."
Zheng raised his head to the sky and roared, mounted his horse, held a spear, and personally led his troops to charge forward, directly facing Xi Layi's sharp edge. The two fought several times, and each was injured. However, the left army saw that their leader was so brave, and they all fought hard, and their decline slowed down.
Xi La also saw that the main force of the army suddenly became more energetic. He knew that it was difficult to break the formation and save the situation, so he could only retreat. However, Zhang Yin, the commander of the Yunnan vanguard who was pursuing, shot an arrow in the back...
At this time, Feng Chengcai arrived. Seeing this, he was not in a hurry to seize power. He Zheng was a native of Shouzhou, Fengyang Prefecture. He was the adopted son of Wei Decheng in his early years. He followed Wei and surrendered to Conglong. Later, he followed the army to pacify the Central Plains, entered the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and then invaded Shaanxi. Guard Lintao, defeat Dingxi from Deng Yu, conquer Hezhou...
He is part of the Huaixi nobles, and can be regarded as his own uncle. If he has not made up for his mistakes, there is naturally nothing he can do, but since he has made up for it, he can wait for a while and wait for the general's military order.
Sure enough, not long after, a lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy sent an order, ordering Feng Cheng to go elsewhere...
Xu Yungong, the commander of the right army, led his troops to encircle and personally beheaded several Luchuan generals. Seeing that the elite Luchuan troops were surrounded, Mu Ying no longer rushed to fight. They were now trapped in the mud, and their elite soldiers were dragged down by the poorly disciplined army. There was no way for them to withdraw their troops, and their defeat was certain.
In the end, the elite of Luchuan fought to the death to rescue King Luchuan from the deadlock. The Ming army won a complete victory, beheading more than 30,000 people, capturing more than 10,000 people, and captured 37 war elephants.
In addition to being killed and captured by the Ming army, the soldiers in Lucchuan were injured, injured, separated, or hungry on the way back. The number of the dead was unknown, and their bodies were scattered everywhere.
The Ming Dynasty took advantage of the situation and established the Xuanwei Division in Burma, Babaidadian, Cheche, Laos, etc. The Luchuan Kingdom retreated and defended the city, and it no longer showed an invincible spirit.
………
In the autumn of the eleventh year of Hongwu, Tao Mengdao Qianmeng of Luchuan launched a rebellion, and Xiao Fa, the uncle of King Luchuan, also followed the trend and raised troops in Yunjie Lan, the royal capital.
As early as the First World War in Yunnan, King Lucchuan, who had completely lost his majesty and military power, was so desperate that he abandoned the country and fled. He petitioned the Ming Dynasty to surrender, and asked the heavenly soldiers to quell the civil strife and eliminate the source.
Luchuan was divided into two parts by Dao Ganmeng and Zhao Xiaofa, and they all paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty. The request was the same, which was to kill the former King of Luchuan who had fled to Yunnan.
The Ming Dynasty accepted the imperial edict that Xiaofa and Silunfa, their uncles and nephews, would declare themselves vassals and pay tribute, and asked Muying to escort Silunfa back to the country, put down Dao Ganmeng's rebellion, and let the two rule Luchuan separately.
But Luchuan is no longer the same Luchuan. After the last defeat and this civil strife, the vitality of the Luchuan Kingdom was severely damaged, and many small chieftains broke away from its control and fell into the arms of the Ming Dynasty.
So the Ming Dynasty took the opportunity to establish the three Tufus of Mengyang, Mubang, and Mengding, and the four official divisions of Lujiang, Qianya, Dahou, and Wandian. At the end of the year, they added Diwuala, Daguci, and Dema. Spread three propaganda divisions.
Since then, the Luchuan Kingdom, known as the overlord of Central and South China, has become nothing more than an empty frame.
For Mu Ying who had made such a great contribution, the imperial court had its own reward, and ordered the emperor's fifth son, King Wu, to go to Yunnan in person and proclaimed: "The virtues of the officials are rewarded, and the merits are rewarded. The emperor's custom is to miss relatives and miss the past, and I will always be in trouble when it comes to human affairs." , he is twenty-five years old and has no heirs. Er Muying also lost his parents due to the war. It is difficult for him to have a full child when he was only eight years old. I took pity on his orphaned child and raised him like a son. Later, because I had many sons, you also grew up. In the light of human feelings and natural principles, your name should not be obscured, so that your surname can be preserved to honor your ancestors, and Erke has made many meritorious deeds."
"Today, in memory of your great contribution to the pacification of Luchuan, I have been granted the title of Zuozhuguo, Special Administrative Officer of Guanglu, and Duke of Liang, with a salary of 5,500 shi, and Yinzi Muchun as the Captain of Shangqingche and the Commander-in-Chief of the Rear Army. I am responsible for the affairs of the government, so that your descendants will inherit the title and honor from generation to generation. You should remember the first time we met by chance, and never Don't forget the grace of relieving difficulties. Keep it in your heart in your dreams. Ghosts and gods know how to repay you. They cry out to support and support the benevolent people. Forgetfulness is the way of a gentleman, and you will always be blessed if you follow the instructions carefully!"
Mu Ying cried and received the order to express her gratitude. She took King Wu's hand and asked about the current situation of the empress and the prince. She said that every day she misses the kindness of her upbringing. Everyone sighed. King Wu put his hand on his back and said, "It must be called " Brother, it can be seen that Duke Liang and the imperial family are as close as one family.
However, the officials and people of all ethnic groups in Yunnan "are young and old, fearing that they will not come (transferred), so they are anxious to go eastward."
At the end of the year, the emperor sent the emperor's six sons to personally summon Liang Guogong, his wife and children to Beijing to celebrate the New Year with the emperor. When Mu Ying arrived outside the capital, Prime Minister Hu Weiyong personally led the civil and military forces to greet her. She was so prominent that everyone in the capital was amazed.
The emperor left the court and gave a banquet at Wuying Hall, where he had a very drunken time with the martial heroes. When the emperor saw his proud adopted son, he hugged him and sighed: "Since you are in the town, I have no worries about the southwest!"
