It was said that it was one hundred thousand people, but it was just a bluff.

After investigation, the real force was only more than 40,000.

Of course, this is still a strong force.

Although these soldiers lack weapons, they are all brave mountain people, good at using bows and arrows, and their combat effectiveness is at least one level higher than the original officers and soldiers of the Daming Guard.

If they really develop, it will definitely be a very difficult problem for the Ming Dynasty.

In the original history, the rebellion in the Yunnan-Guizhou region never stopped in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

After the She'an Rebellion in Guizhou was quelled, the Shapu Rebellion broke out again in Yunnan.

The southwest region continued to consume the military power of the Ming Dynasty court.

Zhu Youjian and Xiao Sheng did not allow such a thing to happen.

In their plan, the Ming Dynasty was going to fight for the world. There should be no legacy problems in the southwest.

Guizhou needs to be flat, and Yunnan needs to be flat. Not only that, it also needs to go south and push horizontally.

The defender of Chishui was Xu Chengming. When Zhu Xieyuan received the rebels' gathering and pointed his sword at Chishui, he immediately sent him an order.

"Strengthen the city walls, converge the military strength, and wait for reinforcements"

In the original historical records, Zhu Xieyuan gave Xu Chengming a plan to pretend to be defeated, lured the enemy to Yongning area, and then killed the rebels.

This is because Zhu Xieyuan cannot guarantee that he can win against these mountain citizens head-on.

But at this time, Sun Yingyuan led the 20,000 Yongwei Camp Infantry Regiment into Sichuan and Shu. With such a powerful army, he felt that tens of thousands of mountain people would not be difficult to destroy.

Yongwei Camp arrived first before the She'an rebels arrived in Chishui, but then did not enter the city, but hid in the mountains and forests on both sides.

This place is densely forested, and there is no sign of tens of thousands of people hidden in it.

Moreover, most of the birds and beasts here are used to humans' presence, and there will be no silence in the mountains and forests hiding in humans.

In addition to the 20,000 soldiers in the Yongning Guard, Zhu Xieyuan also mobilized 40,000 soldiers recruited and trained in Yongning. He was led by Li Shiqi and made him go north and penetrate directly to the rear of the She'an rebels.

Of course, this strategy cannot just repel these people, but will completely destroy the traitors.

The tens of thousands of people led by She Chongming and An Bangyan were to be wiped out without leaving any left, and the clans of Shuixi and theirs must be attacked in one fell swoop so that the remnants of the treacherous robbers would not let the remnants of the treacherous scatter to other places.

Therefore, Qin Liangyu was sent to lead the Baigang soldiers and Shizhu elite soldiers, as well as the two thousand Yongwei Battalion infantry regiments, carrying artillery to enter the water west.

The three groups of troops were used to quell the She'an Rebellion in one fell swoop.

On June 10, the second year of Chongzhen, the rebels came to the city of Chishui.

"There is Xu Chengming, a general under Zhu Xieyuan, who is stationed here, so it is probably not easy to attack." She Chongming said, looking at the shadowy soldier on the not-too-high city wall.

An Bangyan was full of energy and looked at the city wall. He said, "The King of Daliang does not need to be ambitious and destroy his own prestige. Last time we were not prepared enough to let Zhu Xieyuan win by chance.

But he does not have the ability to completely destroy us and give us this opportunity to grow stronger again, that is his disaster.

A mere Chishui can stop thousands of my people, but can it still stop tens of thousands of me?

I am passing the order that the whole army will come to the front and take down the city before dark today!”

An Bangyan ordered that many mountain people began to take action and prepared their original engineering equipment, such as ladders and trenchers, to approach the city wall.

Soon, the catapulting machine was set up.

An Bangyan had already fantasized about the terrifying expression of the Ming army on the city wall after seeing such a powerful engineering equipment as the "trencher".

Suddenly, he heard a few deafening sounds.

The sound was clearly coming from the trencher. I saw that the trencher that had just been set up was now broken, leaving only a pile of wood slag.

The soldiers who operated the catapults had suffered even more than any damage. They were lying on the ground with few legs and no sound.

What exactly happened to this?!

The doubts in his heart were immediately resolved because he saw hundreds of large black iron balls popping out from the mountains and forests on both sides, falling into the ranks of the coalition forces he led.

It exploded in an instant, and a huge wave of air flew away the approaching people. The iron nails and broken iron filings in it beat the people around it to the point of being completely recognizable. It would be fine if they died directly. If they were not dead, they would have suffered unprecedented suffering.

Artillery! This is the artillery of the Ming army!

It has such great power, and so many.

One round of artillery bombardment directly caused more than 700 casualties to him.

The huge momentum and the terrifying death of the person hit made the coalition forces shake.

Someone has even begun to leave.

"Stay calm! Don't panic. The Ming army's artillery fired very slowly. Rush over and tear them apart!" An Bangyan shouted loudly.

I have to say that his voice was very loud and his deterrence among these mountain people was very strong. The army began to slowly charge towards the mountains and forests on both sides.

However, before An Bangyan finished speaking, the shells appeared in the sky again, and the mountain people were frightened and avoided.

After the third round of artillery, the fourth round and the fifth round...

The firing speed of the light infantry mortar can reach three rounds per minute. The skilled artillery constantly adjusts the firing angle and condescendingly, the firing distance becomes very long.

Most of the areas where the coalition forces were located were covered, and in a moment, thousands of people were killed or injured.

It's messy, it's completely messy.

What about Anbangyan and Daliang King. Under such dense artillery fire, the mountain people had no courage to fight again and fled in all directions.

In the mountains and forests on both sides, soldiers from Yongwei Battalion appeared in groups and used new muskets to shoot from a long distance, and more mountain people fell down.

This war has no technical content.

Originally, Sun Yingyuan was ambushed and was about to launch a sudden attack when the rebels and the troops in Chishui City were fighting.

This reduces casualties.

But when he found that the army had no arrangements at all, the military discipline was scattered, and they could not even make unified arrangements between them, he felt that he was overthinking.

So he launched an attack directly.

The number of rebel casualties reached more than 15,000. An Bangyan and She Chongming retreated all the way, and Yongwei camp reorganized the army and pursued them for 5,000.

The rebels escaped very quickly, while the Yongwei Camp followed slowly.

If you see it, shoot it, and if you can't see it, continue chasing it.

An Bangyan and She Chongming both felt that some of these problems were wrong, but at this time the army was no longer under control, and they were even forced to escape.

The large rebel army crossed a small hill. As soon as they went down the mountain, they saw the large number of Ming troops appearing on their retreat.

It's dense, probably tens of thousands of people.

"Don't kill those who surrender! Put down your weapons, raise your hands high, and kneel on the ground!"

A huge sound came from the loudspeaker in Zhu Xieyuan's hand, and suddenly, thousands of people threw away their weapons and remained motionless.

She Chongming and An Bangyan were shocked and shouted angrily, asking them to fight.

As a result, two gunshots were heard, and She'an fell on his back.
Chapter completed!
