Chapter 118: The First World War Sets the Southwest (Part 1)

The tributary of Qianjiang River is a river estuary called Dahong River, with a deep riverbed, dense dark stones, and difficult to move on.

On the banks of rivers, there is not as lush as ordinary streams, but there are sand and gravel. When stepping on them, people and horses will hurt.

A few days ago, An Bangyan received the order from Zhu Youxiao, marched from the bank of Dahong River and headed straight to Chongqing.

It’s not that I want An Bangyan to enter Chongqing, but Zhu Youxiao knew that when An Bangyan went, She Chongming would definitely divide a group of troops to stop him.

These two people, once allies, have become mortal enemies. For Zhu Youxiao, it would be better for them to kill each other.

"The court is so confident in handing over Chongqing to us?"

Riding on the camel, An Xiaoliang seemed to have been used to this kind of bumps.

An Bangyan didn't understand it, and he just snorted coldly and said, "It's not good to let us enter Chongqing?"

"We have entered Chongqing and can plunder a wave and return with a full load."

"When I return to Guizhou, I have more than 100,000 troops under my command, and the court can do whatever it takes to you and me? Then see if I can be named King of Shuixi."

"Haha, you are King of Shuixi, then I want King Wusah!" An Xiaoliang didn't take this seriously, but just laughed.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly shouted and shouted to kill him.

Countless rebels who had been ambushing for a long time rushed out from all directions, and in an instant they fought with the chieftains of Shuixi and Wusa, shouting and killing each other.

An Bangyan was not particularly surprised. When he looked at it, he found that the local chief in the lead was a little familiar with him.

After looking for a while, he suddenly realized and shouted:

"Isn't this the son-in-law of Daliang, now he has the courage to go against me, An Bangyan, and have you gained the ability?"

Fan Long sneered and clasped his fists and said, "I have seen the four elders!"

An Bangyan clearly saw a hint of mockery in his eyes, a little angry, but he still maintained his rationality and retorted:

"Aren't you a Han Chinese? Why are you starting a rebellious act with She Chongming?"

"Fan Long, your Han emperor is in Sichuan. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be chasing She Chongming now. Don't you plan to think about your situation after the court quells the rebellion?"

"I think this sentence should be returned to you intact!" Fan Long's eyes moved and he said in an instant:

"You really think the court can keep you, your lips are gone and your teeth are cold!"

"You Shuixi, you are grasshoppers on the same rope as my She family. The court will not let any chieftain dominate the dominant position. You can go to Nanchuan with me now, and it is still time!"

An Bangyan was stunned at first, and was indeed a little moved.

But soon, he laughed a few times and said, "Okay, you guys are really capable. I'm trying to persuade you, but you're trying to persuade me!"

While the two were talking, the rebels and the chieftains fought each other.

An Xiaoliang rode a camel back and said hurriedly: "Fan Long has prepared a lot. Many of us are still behind, and there are auxiliary soldiers on both sides. Let's retreat back to Wangjiang Pass first!"

"Get out, do you tell me to retreat?" An Bangyan sneered. It would be fine if the emperor said that, but who made him the Supreme Lord?

But what is this in front of him?

In the past, he was just a Han man who was not worthy of carrying shoes for himself. He would be beaten back by him. It was a joke!

"Clash with me!"

"If you can capture Fan Long, I will confer him as an elder!" An Bangyan pulled out his scimitar, clamped his legs, and rushed forward.

Immediately, nearly 70,000 chieftain soldiers fought fiercely along the narrow coast of the Dahong River.

......

Nanchuan, the mountain roads are winding, rugged and steep, with small slopes everywhere, and a stream is gurgling and lush water and grass.

On August 19th, the rebels came to Nanchuan in a mighty manner. She Chongming sent more personnel in various strongholds, and whistle cavalry came out everywhere, looking like they were eager to fight to the decisive battle.

It was on this day that Chen Ce came to find Zhu Youxiao and reported his discovery today.

"Report to Your Majesty, ten miles away, the rebels' whistle cavalry were found."

Zhu Youxiao was still dressed as he left Beijing, but his fair and tender face had a hint of darkness.

"Rebel whistle cavalry..."

Zhu Youxiao unfolded the map he carried with him and spread it onto the ground. Chen Ce and other generals gathered around and listened to the instructions.

Chen Ce looked for a while, pointed to a place and said, "It was Liu Yuanbin who discovered it, and there is still a fight."

"What is the loss?" Zhu Youxiao raised his eyes slightly.

Chen Ce sneered.

"One person was lost to our army, and all seven enemy cavalry were killed, leaving no living slaughter. But now, She Chongming should have received a tip and is discussing it."

"Okay, I'll give Liu Yuanbin a merit. The first battle will bring out the power of the court!" Zhu Youxiao nodded and looked at the map with cold eyes again.

After a long time, he pointed to a place and said:

"How many bandit guards are there in Lengshui Pass?"

Qi Jin knew about this and said, "Your Majesty, more than 8,000 people should be pulled out?"

"If we want to pull them out, we have to lead them out. Our army has no advantage in number. It is useless to attack forcefully, so we can only take advantage of our wisdom." Zhu Youxiao pondered:

"Call the people from the Three Guards of Tongzhou to see me."

Soon, the three generals were led here by the Han generals from the army. They were all surrounded by armor and eyes, and they said in unison:

"I will meet the emperor at the end!"

"No gift."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, and said without raising his head, "Remember, pretend to be an internal strife, retreat with a false defeat, and lead the bandits out of the pass to pursue him."

"What if they don't leave the confinement?" asked one person.

Zhu Youxiao didn't speak, but Chen Ce had a sudden inspiration and said, "If they don't leave the pass, then build a wall outside the pass, dig deep into the trenches, and trap them to death."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and acquiesced, saying, "Tell everyone the terrain of Nanchuan so that they can be prepared in their hearts."

Qi Jin nodded, briefly explained the terrain of Nanchuan, and emphasized:

"She Chongming is known as an army of more than 100,000, and it is estimated that it is only more than 50,000. Our army's more than 10,000 people are elite, equipped with 4,000 self-generated bird guns, dozens of cannons, and more than 20,000 soldiers and horses of the three guards in Tongzhou."

"Although the number of people is slightly lower than that of the rebels, most of the rebels have no weapons. Our army has sufficient food and salary. His Majesty personally fought for the troops, and his troops were different from the past. We will definitely eliminate the main force of the rebels in one battle."

"If we can lure the rebels in Lengshui Pass to attack and take this pass first, we will win half of this battle!"

After all, Lengshui Pass, which is stationed by more than 8,000 people, is the key to this battle. What She Chongming needs to do is to cooperate with the rebels within the pass by relying on the geographical advantage.

What the Ming army had to do was to attack Lengshui Pass before the main force of the rebels arrived, and then rely on the terrain of the city to turn around and fight the rebels to the decisive battle.

As he said that, Qi Jin took a few steps back and said earnestly:

"My generals, this time we personally fight, everyone follows His Majesty to fight. This battle is of great importance to the situation in the southwest."

"Your Majesty immediately stands at Gao Gang and command the overall situation. I hope you will lead by example, advance without retreat, and achieve great achievements!"

When everyone heard this, they stood up one after another.

"We will live up to Your Majesty's high expectations and fight to the southwest!"

The generals of the three guards of Tongzhou knew that they had a great responsibility and left one after another and went to various departments to mobilize their troops. For a moment, in the Ming army, people shouted, horses neighed, and flags moved four times.

......

Outside the Lengshui Pass, smoke and dust rose up on the horizon and horses' hooves rolled, but the Ming cavalry rumbled.

The leader was called Sun Hongji, who was the nephew of Sun Chengzong, who was wearing waist-length armor and his eyes were covered with cold light.

"Set up the cannon!"

The Ming army set up artillery in the rear formation, aiming the muzzle at the pass. After simple debugging, the sound of artillery that shook the sky and the earth immediately rang out.

"Boom--"

This time, the Ming army used solid lead bullets, which were specially designed to close the door. Should there be lost shells hitting the city walls, bringing out large areas of bricks and stones, and injuring several rebels?

Seeing this, Sun Hongji's mouth squirted a curve.
