The Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was extremely rebellious
Chapter 298: Shocking the Southwest
Chapter 298: Shocking the Southwest
Shuixi Xuanweisi, in terms of area alone, is the largest chieftain in the southwest.
After the Bozhou Xuanwei Office was split, it was divided into two prefectures: Pingyue and Zunyi. After the Shuixi Xuanwei Office was split, it was divided into four prefectures: Dading, Qianxi, Pingyuan and Weining.
This shows how large the area of Shuixi Xuanwei Office was.
If we talk about population alone, the Shuixi Xuanwei Si has much more people than the Bozhou Xuanwei Si.
Logically speaking, the Shuixi Xuanwei Office should be stronger than the Bozhou Xuanwei Office.
This is also proven by historical facts.
Historically, the rebellion of Yang Yinglong in Bozhou only gathered a total of more than 80,000 troops. The Ming Dynasty court put down the rebellion in more than 100 days by gathering troops from the three provinces of Bashu, Huguang, and Guizhou.
However, in history, during the She'an Rebellion, the Shuixi Xuanwei Office sent out 100,000 troops to besiege the Guiyang city right after the incident. The Ming Dynasty court gathered hundreds of thousands of troops from the five southwestern provinces and fought for more than ten years to quell the rebellion.
In terms of military strength, the Yongning Xuanfu Division actually far exceeded the Shizhu Xuanfu Division. During the She'an Rebellion in history, She Chongming not only sent 20,000 troops to capture the Chongqing Prefecture City, but also led an army of 30,000 to 40,000 to besiege the Chengdu Prefecture City.
Therefore, logically speaking, the combined strength of the Shuixi Xuanwei Division and the Yongning Xuanfu Division is far stronger than that of the Bozhou Xuanwei Division and the Shizhu Xuanfu Division.
However, neither the Shuixi An family nor the Yongning She family had any talented generals at the moment.
Yang Yinglong of the Bozhou Yang family had long been famous in the southwest, and Qin Liangyu and Ma Qiancheng of the Shizhu Xuanfu Division were also rising stars.
More importantly, both Shuixi An and Yongning She were paralyzed by Wanli and were completely unprepared.
Yang Yinglong suddenly led his army into the heart of Shuixi Xuanwei Division, and Shuixi An family had no time to react.
They didn't expect that Yang Yinglong's defeated soldiers were so strong. By the time they reacted, they gathered their troops and attracted reinforcements from Yongning She's family, and fell into Wanli's trap again.
Qin Liangyu and Ma Qiancheng suddenly led their troops into Yongning Xuanfu Division and captured it without any effort.
As a result, more than 100,000 troops from the Xi'an clan and the Yongning She clan were directly surrounded by the Bozhou army and the white-flag soldiers in the mountains less than 100 miles around Xuanwei Village.
If the Shuixi An family and the Yongning She family had generals as talented as Yang Yinglong and Qin Liangyu at this time, perhaps they could concentrate their forces, defeat them one by one, and turn defeat into victory.
Unfortunately, they didn't.
They were surrounded near Xuanwei Village and were on passive defense.
As the morning light falls, the jungles of Qianxi are filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, appearing to be a peaceful place.
Yang Yinglong and several of his brothers ran through the jungle like nimble cheetahs, and in less than a quarter of an hour they climbed a mountain hundreds of feet high.
At this time, there seemed to be no one among the mountains in the north, only green jungles and birds and animals.
However, Yang Yinglong raised the telescope and scanned carefully, and soon found that there were people lying on several hilltops looking out like them.
This is the advantage of a telescope, it can see distant objects clearly.
If he didn't have a telescope like the people on the opposite side, it would be impossible for him to spot the person climbing motionless on the hilltop several miles away.
Now they are almost reaching Xuanwei Village. This group of enemy troops should be the last group of enemies ambushed in the jungle.
Yang Yinglong looked at the faintly visible mountain stronghold twenty or thirty miles away, then raised his hand and said, "The enemy should be behind those hills.
Shenglong, you lead 10,000 archers to climb up that hill and shoot at the hillside behind them. Beilong and Zhaolong, you each lead 30,000 troops to flank them from the left and right. Ruilong, you follow me and charge head-on."
The brothers nodded repeatedly and then ran down the hillside in all directions.
Soon, the tranquility of the jungle was broken. Countless migratory birds were startled and flew away. Countless people were running in the jungle. The dense footsteps could be heard from miles away.
The Shuixi Army on the opposite side was dumbfounded because they could only hear footsteps but could not see anyone. Moreover, there were dense footsteps everywhere in the south, and they could not tell which direction the enemy was coming from.
At around noon, the sun was rising, and tens of thousands of arrows suddenly flew into the sky like a dark cloud.
"Swish, swish, swish", under the cover of arrows as dense as raindrops, screams suddenly rang out in the jungle in the north.
"Kill!" The shouts of killing like a tsunami rang out immediately, and countless figures rushed out from the hilltop in the south.
The Bozhou army was probably more than twice as many as theirs. If they didn't run away, they would be surrounded.
Upon seeing this, the Shuixi Army general hurriedly led his men and fled towards Xuanwei Village.
Suddenly, the mountains and hills were filled with running figures, so densely packed that no one knew how many there were.
These people grew up in the jungle and could cross mountains and ridges as if they were walking on flat ground. In less than two hours, they ran to the valley where Xuanwei Village was located.
The valley where Xuanwei Village was located wasn't very large, only four or five miles at its narrowest point and only about ten miles at its widest. With over a hundred thousand people suddenly pouring in from the narrow southern part, it felt like they couldn't even squeeze in. At that moment, a burst of gunfire suddenly erupted from the forest in the north.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of shouting and killing sounds were heard, and the 40,000 to 50,000 troops of the Yongning Xuanfu Division were actually chased out of the mountains and forests by the white-pole soldiers.
At this moment, more than 200,000 people gathered in the small valley. There were dense black spots everywhere, and Xuanwei Village seemed to be submerged.
Xuanwei Village is not even as big as Hailongtun, so so many people naturally cannot fit in. Most of the Shuixi Army and Yongning Army were squeezed outside and could not get in.
Yang Yinglong didn't care and rushed north first, waving his sword. Behind him, nearly 100,000 Bozhou soldiers also rushed up like a tide.
Qin Liangyu also brandished two swords and rushed south. Ma Qiancheng and Liu Jing were so frightened that they hurriedly followed with the white-pole soldiers to protect her.
They were almost all brave and invincible. The Shuixi An clan and the Yongning She clan could hardly find a match for them. The Shuixi army and the Yongning army were defeated and retreated step by step, with ghosts crying and wolves howling.
This massacre was so intense that the sky was dark and the sun and moon lost their radiance.
After charging for more than an hour, the Bozhou Army and the White Spear Soldiers actually met outside the Xuanwei Village. Nearly 100,000 troops outside the village were either killed by them or surrendered.
When Yang Yinglong saw that the number of white-pole soldiers on the opposite side was obviously more than half of their number, he couldn't help but look surprised.
There seem to be quite a few Yongning troops in the north. It's strange that these guys can actually come here to kill us.
Qin Liangyu, however, stared at the eastern wall of Xuanwei Village and waved, saying, "Armsmen, advance! Line up and fire in unison! Make sure they can't raise their heads! The rest of you, draw your grappling hooks and prepare to scale the wall."
Soon, tens of thousands of musketeers lined up two hundred steps away from the east wall of the village and started shooting.
Qin Liangyu actually led less than 20,000 troops to rush towards the eastern wall of the village.
Oh, you little girl, you want to steal my credit!
Yang Yinglong shouted quickly, "Archers, go ahead and shoot them until they can't even lift their heads."
After saying that, he threw the big knife to his personal guard, then pulled up a tree several feet high from the side, ran to the south wall of the village, pushed it directly against the wall, then took the big knife from the personal guard's hand, stepped on the tree trunk and rushed to the city wall.
At this time, Qin Liangyu had climbed up the city wall with a grappling rope. Seeing this, Liu Jing and Ma Qiancheng hurriedly followed.
They were all extremely strong. Yang Yinglong's broadsword was made according to the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, weighing 82 kilograms. Qin Liangyu's double swords weighed more than 80 kilograms. Ma Qiancheng's Longdan Spear weighed dozens of kilograms. Liu Jing's broadsword weighed 120 kilograms.
Who can withstand such a heavy thing sweeping over?
They swept across a large area, and the village wall was damaged in countless places.
These guys are too powerful, we can't stop them at all!
The Shuixi An clan and the Yongning She clan were frightened by these fierce men and quickly surrendered.
As soon as the result of this battle came out, the entire southwest was in an uproar.
The Bozhou Xuanwei Office actually joined forces with the Shizhu Xuanfu Office to destroy the Shuixi Xuanwei Office and the Yongning Xuanfu Office!
How can this be?
The Bozhou Xuanwei Division would be fine, as their strength is slightly stronger than the Shuixi Xuanwei Division, because Yang Yinglong is too fierce and invincible.
What about the Shizhu Xuanfu Division?
Although they are called Xuanfusi, they only cover the area of a county, while Yongning Xuanfusi covers the area of an entire prefecture.
The Shizhu Xuanfu Division was able to kill through the Yongning Xuanfu Division in one fell swoop and kill all the way to Xuanwei Village!
What's the matter?
Soon, Wanli issued an edict to the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty.
The Shuixi Xuanwei Division and the Yongning Xuanfu Division disobeyed the imperial order and have been wiped out.
In this battle, General Qin Liangyu, the governor of the east, and General Yang Yinglong, the escort cavalry, made great contributions.
General Qin Liangyu, the commander of the eastern defense forces, led his army to annihilate more than 50,000 enemies and was promoted to Duke Zhongguo.
General Yang Yinglong of the Imperial Guards led his troops to annihilate more than 50,000 enemies and was promoted to Duke of Yue.
As a result, the name of General Qin Liangyu, the Zhendong General, suddenly became famous throughout the southwest.
It would be fine if it was just General Yang Yinglong, the Bozhou army already had 100,000 soldiers, so it was normal to kill more than 50,000 enemies.
General Qin Liangyu, the Zhendong General, seemed to have only 30,000 troops under her command, yet she was able to annihilate over 50,000 enemies!
