Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 513: Catch the Thief, Catch the King First (Part 1)

Outside the city of Guangxi Prefecture, gunfire rumbled, shouting to kill the sky.

In the Qing Dynasty, the Guangxi Admiral's line Guoan led the Dingnan vassal to lower the Han army of more than 4,000 people, and the fourth headquarters of the Green Camp and the Guizhou Ming Army sent more than 50,000 troops to attack the southern gate of Kunming - Guangxi City.

This Guangxi Prefecture has the same name as Guangxi Province, but it is one province and one province. In the Yuan Dynasty, Guangxi Mansion used to be Guangxi Road. In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, it was changed to Guangxi Mansion, and it was under the jurisdiction of Yunnan Chenghuan Government Envoy. The government has jurisdiction over three states, which are divided into Shizong state, Maitreya state, and Weimo state, and there is also a pinch to recruit patrol division. Shizong Prefecture, where Guangxi Fucheng is located, is located 120 miles south of Kunming and is the gateway to an important town in the south of Kunming.

If Guangxi Prefecture was lost, there would be no more dangerous passes south of Kunming to stop the Qing army. Therefore, the Guangxi Ming army desperately resisted the Qing army to protect the safety of the imperial court and the emperor. The Ministry of National Security had been stopped under the city of Guangxi for four days. According to the original battle plan formulated by Yang Laobao during the military meeting, the Ministry of National Security should appear in the south of Kunming City at this moment, and jointly launch a countermeasure with the Manchu soldiers led by Zhao Butai, Xinjun Wang Doni, Roto and other Qing troops after joining forces. Kunming's attack.

Obviously, the progress of the Ministry of National Security of the line was later than the original plan. This cannot be blamed on the line of national security, but the resistance of the Guangxi Ming army was too tenacious. For the past few days, Xian Guoan has been urging various ministries to take turns to attack the city. He built the camp just outside the city, and ordered all the ministries to encircle the city and encircle the city of Guangxi.

Today, the left-wing commander-in-chief was ordered to supervise the surrender of Guizhou troops to attack the city again. Less than half an hour after the battle began, hundreds of daredevils selected from the surrendered soldiers in Guizhou took the lead in climbing to the top of Guangxi city after paying half the casualties. They pulled out the banner of the Ming army on the city and ordered the city to be cleared. The army cheered.

The whole festival burst into laughter, thinking that it was hopeful to win the city. Not wanting the Ming army defenders in the city, Qi Datong, the chief soldier under the command of King Li Dingguo of Jin Dynasty, immediately led his own troops to counterattack after discovering that the Qing army had climbed up the city.

In his early years, Qi Datong accompanied Zhang Xianzhong, the old emperor of Daxi, to fight in the south and north. After entering Yunnan with the four kings, he participated in all the wars against the Qing Dynasty, and he was brave and invincible. His personal soldiers were even more elite soldiers from the West, who were contemptuously called "old thieves" by the Qing army. Under his vigorous counterattack, the Qing army that climbed up the city immediately gave up and was hacked to death under the counterattack of the subsequent reinforcements of the Ming army. All that's left is to jump to the next city by himself, or he is lucky enough to escape along the cloud ladder before the Ming army arrives.

After the Ming army guarded the gap, they threw the wood, earth, and lime from the city, while pushing the ladder on the city wall with a fork. The Qing soldiers, who were unavoidable under the city, had no choice but to stick to the heavy objects that fell from the sky, or they were injured by spruce trees, they were killed by stones, or they were blinded by limestone and fell off the ladder. The ones below are countless. In an instant, the city was wailing, and there were casualties. Seeing that the Ming army had succeeded in counterattacking, the Guizhou soldiers in the front could not climb any further, and the morale of the army was also very low, so they ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. After hearing the order to withdraw the troops, the soldiers in Guizhou ran back from the city wall like a rabbit. Few of the wounded Qing troops were able to run back by themselves, and most of them could only lie under the city wall and scream.

After paying more than a thousand heavy casualties, the Ming army finally beat back the fifth attack of the Qing army.

The failure of another siege made the generals of the Qing army a little disappointed and discouraged, and shook their heads while looking at the retreating Quanji. But he didn't care about the whole festival. The casualties were all the Ming troops who surrendered in Guizhou. His direct line headquarters had no casualties at all, so he was willing to fight this kind of battle. It was good to win, but it didn't matter if he lost. After a few days of attack, the Ming army in Guangxi city has also reached its limit. Today, Guizhou surrendered troops to climb the city and almost succeeded in proving that the Ming army in the city did not have much strength, so the whole section believes that if they attack twice, Guangxi city will definitely fall. In the hands of the Qing Dynasty, there is no need to be depressed for a defeat.

However, after arriving in front of Xian Guoan, the whole section still pleaded guilty: "Admiral, the last general is incompetent, this siege has been defeated again!"

Xian Guoan nodded slightly, but did not say anything about the whole section, but continued to watch the attacking troops and horses retreat from the city wall with a telescopic mirror. There was no anger at the failure of the siege on his face, but he was very calm, even the corners of his mouth. He was still smiling, which made the whole section feel at ease, knowing that Xian Guoan would not punish him.

After watching it for a while, Xian Guoan put down the telescopic mirror, and said to the whole festival and the generals: "If you lose, you will lose, it doesn't matter, it's just a small setback, can you still catch up with the old prince in Guilin? Can't win a battle? You guys are all eager to win, and take victory and defeat too seriously. You must know that victory and defeat are common affairs in military affairs. Is there any general in this world who only wins battles and does not defeat them? The inspector looked carefully, the Ming army in the city is at the end of its streak, and the city will eventually be destroyed when the entire army is attacked again tomorrow."

The coach's remarks naturally made the disappointed generals reinvigorated, and the atmosphere also changed, very active.

The whole festival glanced at Guangxi City, but said: "Actually, it's not a bad thing for us to progress slowly, otherwise, how would the court know about our hard work? It really wants to go smoothly and go all the way to Kunming. Our journey is too easy, and the other soldiers and horses will also say that we encounter weak enemies, which does not show our credit~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Yes, I agree with this statement, left and right This Ping Dian Shou Gong will not be our turn. We will spend two more days in this Guangxi city. There are Zhu Ming’s court and the emperor in Kunming. Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan will definitely defend, and the fight must be a bad battle, so Let's not be in a hurry to be cannon fodder, we will wait until those few can't stand it, and it also seems that we can fight against the fan, right?"

The speaker was Wang Enzeng, who was born in Dingfan and is now the commander-in-chief of Guilin. Most of the people standing here were generals from Dingnan Fan, not from Ding Fan but also Xian Guoan's own direct descendants. There were no Manchu nobles among them, so the generals spoke a little more presumptuously.

Xian Guoan nodded slightly, Wang Enzeng said it was good, it is not a good thing to progress too smoothly. Now all the armies are attacking Kunming together, and the Ming army will definitely not let their court and emperor fall into the hands of the Qing army, so they will inevitably die. Protect Kunming, this battle is 100% a bad battle. Among the troops, only Guoan and Wu Sangui are the Han army, and Wu Sangui is the king of Pingxi. Therefore, 80% of the Manchurians will let Guoan be siege fodder, so it is not a bad thing to go to Kunming late, at least You don't have to fall into the end of trying to make a wedding dress for others despite heavy losses.

Just as he was about to order the generals to follow him to the big tent to discuss the siege of the city tomorrow, the personal soldiers came to report, saying that the governor of Guangxi, Lord Chen Weixin, sent an urgent report of 800 miles. (To be continued.)
