When the Shui'an Clan was at its peak, it claimed to have 400,000 soldiers. There were two rebellions before and after, both of which were cleared up by Daming, and part of the territory was also reformed and returned.
The Song clan in Shuidong declined even more. When She Chongming rebelled, the An clan and the Song clan could combine 100,000 troops to attack Guiyang.
A few days ago, An Rupan tried to lead his troops out of the village.
More than 3,000 people, taking advantage of Fei Yinggong's retreat, killed them unexpectedly in the evening. After a volley of guns, he collapsed directly, and almost lost the cottage because of it.
Fei Yinggong felt quite boring, let alone the Eight Banners soldiers, the Guizhou native soldiers here are not even as good as the elite officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
He was too lazy to wait for the enemy to attack the battalion, and continued to bombard during the day, while 2,000 Datong troops went out to continue besieging the city with farmers, soldiers, and peasants. The other 3,000 Datong troops directly followed the trail and took the initiative to attack the enemy on the other side of the mountain.
An Kun is only in his teens this year. In history, this guy was persuaded by Hong Chengchou to surrender and became the pioneer of the Eight Banners soldiers. Wu Sangui was stuck at Qixing Pass, he hesitated to attack, and it was An Kun who took the lead in charging. An Kun also attacked the Nanming army everywhere, arrested anti-Qing righteous soldiers and escorted them to the Manchu Qing court.
Then, in order to expand his territory, Wu Sangui labeled An Kun as a rebel, and killed An Kun easily.
After An Kun died, after Mrs. Shexiang, Guizhou's second heroine came out. An Kun's widow, Rouyuan's wife, Lu Tianxiang, led the Shuixi Yi tribe to fight against Wu Sangui, and was canonized as a first-class wife by Kangxi.
"My son, the enemy army is coming!"
An Kun, who was nestling in the ravine, waiting for the night raid, was shocked when he heard the news.
Since he planned to attack at night, he naturally sent out sentries all the way, and the 3,000 Datong army came to kill him, and An Kun would definitely find him.
An Kun asked: "How many enemy troops have come?"
The spy replied: "It looks like three or four thousand."
"It's really only three or four thousand?" An Kun was overjoyed after being shocked, drew his sword and shouted, "Follow me to kill the enemy and destroy the enemy army!"
He left 5,000 people to guard Guiyang, and this time he brought 18,000 elites.
Eighteen thousand against three or four thousand, just ask how to lose?
An Kun obviously knows how to fight, and immediately issued various military orders. 5,000 people were divided on the left and right, and they climbed the mountains to ambush, intending to besiege on three sides at a critical moment.
This mountain path is very narrow and can only accommodate two people standing side by side.
Three thousand Datong troops, dragged into a long snake, slowly marched forward. Of course, a search team of hundreds of people was sent to search the hillsides on both sides.
As they walked, the officer leading the troops ordered to stop, and even the search team stopped when they heard the whistle.
The terrain in front is very suitable for ambushes. Only when the general position of the enemy is known, the fool will lead the troops to continue.
When An Kun got the news, he immediately added in his mind: "These enemy troops must be going to attack Guiyang by surprise. We have been discovered, so hurry up and chase them, don't let them escape!"
Eighteen thousand native soldiers, no longer hiding their whereabouts, rushed out of the mountains and valleys quickly.
The mountains and plains are full of enemies.
"Quick retreat!"
The search team on the mountain, and the main force of the Datong army in the mountain, immediately withdrew towards the open area behind.
It was a large bamboo forest. A certain girl in a certain time and space once caught pandas here.
"Doo toot toot toot toot toot"
The sound of the suona sounded at the edge of the bamboo forest, and the Datong army, who had fled a little scattered, heard the sound of the trumpet one after another and came to gather.
An Kun led hundreds of mountain cavalry and ordered the whole army to kill the enemy.
Guizhou war horses and Yunnan war horses are also one of the sources of war horses in Ming Dynasty. The Shuixi horse is especially outstanding, and it even paid tribute to Zhu Yuanzhang for the dragon horse. The dragon pit and the Longchang station are all related to that dragon horse. Song Lian wrote a special article "Praise of the Heavenly Horse" for this purpose, and Zhu Yuanzhang named the dragon horse "Fei Yue Feng", which means that it can fly over the mountain when riding on it.
Tens of thousands of troops cannot be accommodated in this broken place, and 70% of the Shuixi native soldiers are climbing mountains and detours, trying to go around the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain to encircle the Datong army.
Shen Tianliang raised his gun and ordered: "The whole team, continue to retreat!"
? Shen Tianliang joined the army in the ninth year of Chongzhen. Sichuan fought and expanded its army and promoted quickly. He didn't take these soldiers seriously.
Yishui'er's bows, arrows and spears don't have many pairs of iron armor. If they can wear leather armor, they are considered elite soldiers. Can this kind of army be called an army?
Seeing the Datong army retreating to the depths of the bamboo forest, An Kun hesitated instead, and quickly sent an order not to chase.
Will there be an ambush inside?
"My lord, do you want to set fire to the bamboo forest?"
"The enemy is not a wild boar,After the army retreated to the dangerous terrain, it has repelled the enemy's attacks several times.
An Kun personally climbed to the middle of the mountain, and said to a small chieftain leader: "You lead people to attack the mountain!"
This little chieftain is called Shewang. He bravely summoned the local soldiers and led more than 2,000 people to attack from the front.
An Kun said to another leader: "Your people, attack from the left side. It's not easy to climb over there, so you can go farther away."
Then he continued to order: "You lead people to go around to the right You take people to go around to the back of the mountain Attack from all sides, and pile them up to death!"
Li Waizui is a mountain dweller in northern Sichuan, to be precise, a hunter.
Before the age of 25, he had never touched a gun, but he was very accurate at shooting rabbits with a bow and arrow.
Today, the Datong Army is expanding its troops in Sichuan, and Li Waizui has been promoted to the rank of corps leader. Only half a month after he got the firecracker, he has already practiced his marksmanship like a god, and the smoothbore gun has the effect of a rifled gun.
Li Waizui raised his gun to aim, and when he closed his left eye, his mouth became even more crooked.
"boom!"
Shewang was leading troops to climb, when a gunshot came, he felt a pain in his chest, and rolled down the mountain on the spot.
"Old Li is good at shooting guns!" Yang Fu, the chief of staff, praised.
Seeing the general's death, all the local soldiers under Shewang's command retreated in fright.
"Blow the charge!"
Not only did the enemy army not expect Shen Tianliang's sudden order, but even the soldiers of the Datong Army were surprised.
It's very simple, more than 10,000 Shuixi native soldiers were dispatched to surround them with a large number of troops, and there were only seven or eight thousand left on the front. At present, a total of 2,000 enemy troops are fleeing, why not take the opportunity to rush down the mountain and directly capture the enemy's chief general, An Kun?
The charge sounded, and the 3000 Datong army swooped down the mountain. The 2,000 native soldiers under Shewang's command were frightened and ran for their lives when they heard the shouts of killing behind them.
An army of native soldiers below, about a thousand people, also fled inexplicably.
An Kun said to his confidants: "Lead troops to block it!" Then he shouted, "Send the order, the troops on both sides will surround and kill, and those who escaped will be killed!"
The military law team of the native soldiers killed more than 20 people in a row, finally stopped the rout, and turned around to meet the Datong army rushing down.
The two sides approached twenty or thirty steps, and Shen Tianliang personally blew the whistle.
The Datong army slowed down when they heard the whistle, squatted down and shot freely at close range, and charged with the bayonet immediately after firing the bullets.
This is a mountain charge routine that has been trained for a long time, and they have long been handy.
Tu Bang, who was killed by the law enforcement team, was shot at close range, and hundreds of them fell down in an instant. Morale really collapsed this time, and the law enforcement team couldn't stop them. Some even threw away their weapons and turned to run for their lives.
An Kun was dumbfounded when he saw this, and ran down the mountain. If he didn't run, he would die, because his law enforcement team was also collapsing.
A group of native chickens and dogs.
In the frontal direction, the whole army fled and collapsed in a confused way, causing the soldiers on both sides to be confused about the situation, thinking that their main general had died in battle. These native soldiers belonged to different small chieftains, and they did not belong to each other. After fleeing head-on, they also fled.
18,000 native soldiers, with about 1,000 casualties, were killed and completely scattered in this way.
An Kun almost rolled to the bottom of the mountain, hit his head on a tree trunk, and sprained his ankle when he got up. He was supported on the horse by his own soldiers, and he didn't care about gathering the army. He fled the battlefield on his beloved horse, taking only a few hundred of his own guard cavalry.
As for the other native soldiers, they were scattered all over the mountains and plains, and there was no way to catch them. Most of them would flee back to their hometown by themselves.
