"This King Jing of the country is so shameless! When he attacked the Cen family in Sicheng, our family asked him to marry him, but he was afraid that we would attack his flank, so he agreed immediately. He has been regarded as his family all these years.
The in-laws did not guard against him. Unexpectedly! This person just regretted the marriage, but at the critical moment when the general government attacked Yang Weizhi, he gave us a knife! Hateful! Rats have skin, and people have no manners! People have no manners,
What's the point of not dying?"
After hearing the news that Zhu Hengjia had sent troops to attack Yunnan, Miss Wan Cai Lian Wan, the mistress of Yunnan who had always been gentle and graceful, became so angry that she cursed regardless of her image as a lady.
Seeing the mistress getting angry, the Kunming general manager Yu Xipeng, president Yu Yanzhen, soldiers Gao Abao, Song Guoying, soldiers Zhang Guoyong, Ruan Yunjia and Yuan Shihong who were standing by were too frightened to say anything.
Mistress Wan scolded her for half an hour before she calmed down. Looking around, she returned to her usual glory and splendor.
"Now the main force of our army has been taken by the General to fight against Chuxiong. There are only 5,000 soldiers and horses in Kunming. Adding in the 1,500 people Yuan Shihong, a loser, withdrew from Luxi, the defenders are less than 7,000. The plan will be out
?"
When Yuan Shihong heard his mistress scolding him as a waste, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
Yu Xipeng, Yu Yanzhen, Zhang Guoyong, and Ruan Yunjia betrayed Mu Tianbo together with Yuan Shihong, so they naturally joined forces and defended him.
"Mother, the Ming army has tens of thousands of troops, and Yuan Shihong has so few soldiers that he really can't resist it!"
Wan Cailian was furious: "There are no troops in Kunming. It will take at least ten days for the Lord General to get back. Do we have to leave Kunming again?"
Yu Xipeng thought for a moment: "Mother, you can ask the chieftains from all the Kunming Prefecture to send troops to help in the battle. This is also a test. If they send troops, they are loyal to the Lord. If they don't send troops, they have different intentions and should be eliminated quickly."
Wan Cailian nodded. Among these people, Yu Xipeng was the most loyal. It was this person who originally advised Sha Dingzhou to attack the Duke of Guizhou Mansion. Since he became a traitor, he had no way out and could only follow Sha Dingzhou's path.
In the end.
"Okay, I will immediately call on the chieftains from all the caves to send troops to assist in the battle."
"Mother, please guard Kunming and you must guard Heyang. I am willing to lead troops to garrison in Heyang." Abao, a high-ranking soldier, asked for battle.
"Okay, now that General Gao is guarding the south gate of Kunming, I will feel at ease!" Wan Cailian was overjoyed.
Yu Xipeng reminded: "Mother, you must send people to closely monitor the residences of Ming Dynasty officials in Kunming City, such as University Scholar Wang Xigun, Yunnan Governor Wu Zhaoyuan and others. You must send additional manpower to prevent them from communicating with the Ming army."

"Good!"
The troops were pressing down on the territory, and Mistress Wan's actions were very efficient. Under the troop deployment order, the major chieftains of Kunming Prefecture, the Dong family of Yunnan Qianwei, the Dong family of Anning Prefecture, the Yang family of Luoci County, the Wang family and Ma family of Kunyang Prefecture, and the Kunming County
The Li family, the Ma family in Yiliang County, the Li family and the Wang family in Luoci County, the Zhao family in Anning Prefecture, the Li family in Feng County, the Lu family in Jinning Prefecture, etc., either sent 300 troops or 500 troops, and quickly gathered more than 5,000 troops.
People.
Wan Cai Lian ordered the chief soldier Gao Abao to lead President Yu Yanzhen, the chief soldiers Zhang Guoyong, and the chief soldier Ruan Yunjia to lead eight thousand troops to garrison in Heyang. He also ordered the chief soldier Song Guoying, the general manager Yu Xipeng, and the chief soldier Yuan Shihong to lead the remaining four thousand. Multiple people, defend Kunming.
Mistress Wan was very indignant at Zhu Hengjia's treacherous behavior and wrote a letter of severance with Zhu Hengjia. There was a line of poem in the book: "??The sky is as white as snow, as bright as the moon among the clouds. I heard that you have two opinions, so I came to break up with you. ??”.

Chenjiang Prefecture governs Heyang. It is a small earth city, more than ten feet high. It was originally a state city and was later upgraded to a prefectural city. Although Chenjiang Prefecture is a prefecture, it is smaller than some prefectures, so the prefecture is naturally not large.
However, although Heyang City is small, it has an important strategic position, firmly guarding the southeast gate of Kunming.
Heyang City is located in the sun of Fuxian Lake and built on Wufeng Mountain. It is a city at the foot of the mountain.
Wufeng Mountain meanders from the middle branch of Luozang Mountain. The two mountains on the left and right stand side by side, like the two wings of a phoenix. The phoenix spreads its wings, so it is called "Wufeng". The word "Wufeng" also means "education". It means. It is said in the past that if the country is peaceful and the king is kind, then the phoenix will come. Because "Feng Dancing" is regarded as a symbol of cultural and educational prosperity.

The Ming army arrived in Heyang and fought for two days. General Gao Abao and other generals resisted desperately and failed to capture it.
Shi Qiwen, a veteran on the battlefield, with hair as thick as autumn frost. He glanced at the city wall of Heyang and sighed: "I didn't expect Heyang to be so difficult to fight! The mountain roads in Yunnan are rugged, and the heavy artillery is still in Luxi. It won't be able to transport it for a while. What can I do?"
"Commander, why don't you try the underground blasting method?" Yunnan patrol commander Lian Chengbi suggested.
"The patrol commander didn't know that this underground blasting method was tried by our army in Huguang, but the effect was not very good."
Liancheng Bi smiled: "Huguang, the heart of the Central Plains, has many great cities in the world. Most of the cities are built with stone, and the city foundations are solid, so it is difficult to explode. But in Yunnan, most of them are earthen cities, and the city foundations are not strong, so it is easy to explode."< /p>
Shi Qiwen suddenly realized. After thinking for a while, he said: "Our army will dig the soil, which will definitely alarm the enemy. What if they adopt the 'urn listening method'?"
The "urn listening method" was a good method in ancient times to deal with cave attacks and tunnel blasting. The key point of the method is to bury a large urn close to the city wall in advance, and send people to sit in it to listen for movements from underground. If When there is the sound of digging, immediately follow the sound and dig downward to destroy the opponent's tunnel.
"The commander-in-chief can have a fort set up in front of the tunnel entrance, and at the same time use small cannons to bombard the city to cover up the sound. The enemy will not be wary."
Shi Qiwen laughed loudly: "If this city is destroyed, it will all be attributed to the patrols."
Groups of Ming troops pretended to set up forts within two miles of the city wall, and the soldiers were working with shovels and shovels. It was very lively.
When Abao saw the Ming army building a fort outside the city, he was a little worried and said to President Yu Yanzhen: "The Ming army is going to use heavy artillery to attack the city. Heyang City is small, so I'm afraid it won't be able to stop it."
Yu Yanzhen said with a smile: "Don't worry about the tall soldiers. The mountains in Yunnan are high and the roads are narrow. The general's artillery is heavy and heavy. It will take at least a month to transport it to Heyang. By then, the reinforcements from the General Government will have arrived."
Gao Abao thought about it and realized that this was the reason, so he didn't take it seriously.
"Hurry, dig faster!"
Ming army general Lei Qisheng urged his subordinates. When he was a "Great Western Thief", he followed the Eight Kings to attack Xiangyang and used the underground blasting method. Although he was unsuccessful, he still had experience.
Under his urging, two small tunnels began to form. For insurance, the Ming army dug two tunnels, leading to the east and west sides of the east gate of Heyang City.
In ancient times, tunnel blasting was mostly done near the city gate. In this way, after entering the city through the gap, the city gate could be quickly controlled and the results of the battle expanded.
The blasting of the cave was the most time-consuming. It took seven days to dig day and night.
Finally, the tunnel was dug and reached the foot of the city wall. The soldiers carried simple explosive packets on their backs, climbed into the tunnel, and placed the explosive packets at the gap in the base of the hollowed-out city wall. Soon, the base of the wall was
It's full of explosives.
The engineers lit the fuse and sealed the tunnel.
"Damn, why doesn't it ring?"
Ming generals Li Chengjue and Zhang Hu, who were responsible for attacking the east gate, were so anxious that they jumped.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
There were two loud noises, and two large gaps appeared near the east gate of Heyang.
"Kill!"
Li Chengjue and Zhang Hu charged towards the city wall.
"Porphyry", before the shocked Luo Luo Bing could react, his brain was pierced by a steel knife.
The Ming army killed the scattered defenders and opened the city gate.
"Kill!"
Li Dingguo, He Jiuyi, Yu Tai, Liu Zhenguo, Wu Sansheng, Wu Zisheng, Zhao Desheng and other generals bravely climbed the city.
The city of Heyang was broken, and the soldier Gao Abao, the president Yu Yanzhen, and the soldier Ruan Yunjia fled back to Kunming in embarrassment. The soldier Zhang Guoyong ran slowly, so he had to turn his head into the battle of General Wu Zisheng.
