After receiving Zhu Hengjia's order to wipe out Shadingzhou as soon as possible, Shi Qiwen ordered Zhao Yinxuan and Li Chengjue to lead 10,000 troops from Kunming to Ami Prefecture to assist in the battle. Only Hu Yiqing and other generals were left to garrison Kunming with 10,000 troops.
After Shi Qiwen's main army arrived at Ami, good news continued.
First, Ninghai Bohe Jiuyi led more than 3,000 defeated troops and came to join them; then, Liu Zhenguo, Wang Aixiu and other generals defeated Sha Dingzhou's confidants, and the towering chieftain Wang Shuo led his army back; finally, Jinning righteous soldiers Leng Yangchun, Duan Bomei, Kong Shicheng and others , led five thousand rebels to surrender.
Leng Yangchun was the magistrate of Jinning, Duan Bomei was the governor of Jinning, and Kong Shicheng was an officer of the Ming army. These three people were loyal to the Ming Dynasty. In history, Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and other Western armies entered Yunnan. These people regarded Yongli as their orthodoxy, and in Jinning They raised righteous troops to fight against Li Dingguo and were killed by the Daxi Army. In this time and space, they became comrades fighting side by side with Li Dingguo.
After Shi Qiwen gathered the troops, he only ordered He Jiuyi, Zhao Yinxuan, and Wu Zisheng to lead 20,000 troops to attack Mengzi and Xin'ansuo. However, the main army stationed troops at Shehuakou in the north of Ami and stood still.
Yang Weizhi, Li Chengjue, Lu Huang, and Long Shangdeng generals were extremely anxious and all entered the tent to ask for battle.
"Commander, the supervisor of the country ordered you to wipe out the sand bandits as soon as possible. The main force of the sand bandits has not yet returned, and the Ami state is empty. Instead of taking advantage of this opportunity to capture Ami, you instead stood still. What's the reason?"
Shi Qiwen's face sank: "You don't have to say anything, I have a clever strategy to defeat the thieves. Stand down."
The generals asked with a shy face: "Commander, if you have any clever ideas, please tell the generals and others."
When Shi Qiwen saw that Li Dingguo was silent, he smiled and said: "Hongyuan must know my commander's thoughts. You can ask Hongyuan. Please step back."
After he resigned, Yang Weizhi, Lu Huang, Long Shangdeng and others asked Li Dingguo.
"Marquis Dinglu, the supervisor of the country asked the general to put down the sand bandits as soon as possible, but the general stationed troops to make a fool of himself and stood still. What's the reason?"
"The commander-in-chief just wants to put down the sand bandits as soon as possible, so he is holding back his troops!"
"Oh, why?"
"Ammi, the area around Wangnong is full of mountains. If the sand thieves escape into the mountains and divide their troops to defend the dangerous pass, this battle can be fought. So we must lure the sand thieves back to Amui and annihilate them in one fell swoop. The most dangerous terrain in Ahmi is Shehuakou. If the sand bandits want to defend Ami, they must seize Shehuakou. Our army has many soldiers and horses, and we are in a dangerous position. If we fight decisively at Shehuakou, the sand bandits will be defeated."
??
Sha Dingzhou, the capital of Yunnan Province, returned to Ami Prefecture.
"Madam, I'm back. Fortunately, the Ming army moved slowly and Ami is still in our hands."
"Shalang, the Ming army has arrived at Ami a long time ago, but there is no movement in the army. There may be a trick, so be careful."
The two were discussing when counselor Tang Jingbin walked in.
Tang Binbin is both Sha Dingzhou's counselor and Sha Dingzhou's brother-in-law. He married Wan Caixia, the sister of Mistress Wan Cailian.
As soon as she saw Mr. Tang, Wan Cailian asked: "Mr. Tang, is Caixia's illness feeling better?"
Tang Binbin's face darkened: "Xiaoxia's illness is getting worse! I have called in all the famous doctors in the city, but she is not cured!"
Sha Dingzhou sighed: "Alas! What does Mr. Tang want from me?"
"At the headquarters, the Ming army has strong soldiers and horses, and it has occupied the steep Shehuakou area. There is no danger to defend Ami Prefecture. Why not retreat to Mengzi's hometown, the old village of Baigelong. There are high mountains there, what can the Ming army do to me?"
Sha Dingzhou thought for a while and finally couldn't bear to leave Ami's old nest. Then he said to Mr. Tang: "Manager Tang, take your troops and retreat to Jigelong first. I will take the army to attack Shehuakou first. If we can't defeat it,
, I will go to Qigelong to meet you again."
On January 16, the 21st year of Chongzhen, the Battle of Shehuakou began.
"Minutes of Fang Yu" Volume 115 Ami Prefecture: Shehuakou "is in the north of the prefecture. It is a danger to the prefecture's border".
Shi Qiwen dug a trench on the top of the mountain and built a fort behind it. From a high position, he fired artillery, muskets and arrows.
"Luo Luo (Tiger)!"
"Luoluo!"
"Luoluo!"
The tigers roared like mountains and tsunamis. Fighting in their hometown, the soldiers fought desperately.
They held up the round shield in their left hand, huddled behind the round shield, and rushed forward with their waists bent.
Warriors who grew up in the mountains rushed up the mountain very fast, rows of people shouting and attacking upwards.
Behind him is the crossbowman responsible for covering, throwing upwards.
Smoke filled the air, whizzing arrows and banging bullets intertwined, and the snake's mouth became a mountain of death.
The corpses of Luo Luo soldiers filled the trench.
If the earthen pot is not broken outside the well, the general will inevitably die in battle.
"Kill!"
Wang Aixiu, a general of the Ming army, led a charge of five hundred soldiers, hoping to drive down the Sha army who had ascended the mountain.
Tie Zhihu, the general of the Sha army, took an arrow and shot it through Wang Aixiu's face.
Mengzi Chieftain Li Rifang and Li Risen brothers rushed up the mountain.
Lei Chaosheng, the commander of the Ming army's artillery battalion, saw this clearly and ordered the gunners to fire at the flags of the two generals.
Cannonballs fell from the sky one after another.
The general's flag with the big word "李" written on it was blown into two pieces.
"Brother, be careful!"
Li Risen knocked Li Rifang down. A cannonball exploded near the two of them, causing spikes of dust to fill the sky.
"Brother!"
"Brother!"
"Brother!"
Li Rifang shook her brother desperately, and Li Risen gasped: "Brother, I saw my grandmother, and she was calling my baby name."
After saying that, Li Risen remained motionless, with blood pouring from the corner of his mouth.
The bright red blood made Li Rifang crazy. He was so powerful that he braved the barrage of arrows and rushed to the top of the mountain with a knife.
The Ming general taught Chieftain Long Shengxiao, and pierced Li Rifang's left arm with a sword. Li Rifang did not dodge, and slashed Long Shengxiao in half with a knife from his right hand.
"My sons, follow me and kill!"
Sha Dingzhou pulled out his sword and attacked the mountain himself.
The killing aroused the ferocity of the son of the mountain god, and the densely packed army of soldiers rushed upward regardless of their own safety, looking at the overwhelming bullets and arrows as nothing.
"Almost!"
Shi Qiwen nodded and asked the Chinese army to send the signal.
The flag was waved, and the Ming army gunners hidden in the mountains and forests pulled the rope.
Before the war, Shi Qiwen had people bury a large number of explosives on the hillside and pull them with thin ropes. He ordered the soldiers to hold the ropes and hide in the dark until the flag was blown.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Explosions exploded under the feet of the Saudi army.
The sudden and continuous explosions caused the Saudi army to start to commotion.
"Kill!"
Shi Qiwen drew his sword, and the flag bearer charged down with the Chinese army's weapons.
"Kill!"
Li Dingguo, Jin Tongwu, Lu Huang, Long Shangdeng, Li Chengjue and other generals came down the mountain to kill them.
"Quickly retreat!"
Sha Dingzhou hurriedly called for gold and retreated his troops.
The leader of the army, Song Guoying, heard the order and ran down the mountain.
Li Dingguo caught up with him, with a bright silver spear spitting out messages like a poisonous snake.
Song Guoying trembled, and he saw a gun head coming out of his chest.
"Cough! Cough!"
He coughed a few times and fell down softly.
Ming armies from all directions came like a storm, and the Sha army collapsed.
Sha Dingzhou couldn't hold back and did not dare to return to Amizhou, so he retreated to the old village of Jigelong.
After retreating to the back of Jigelong, we counted the men and horses and found that only 60,000 were left.
??
The old village of Jigelong is the ancestral home of the Wang Nongsha family. The ancestors of the Sha family saw that the terrain here was so steep that one man was in charge of the pass and ten thousand people could not open it, so they took it as their foundation.
Later, Sha Dingzhou captured Wang Nong, and Empress Ami gradually abandoned the old village.
Now, with no choice but to return to his old village, he relied on the terrain to resist the Ming army.
Ji Gelong has countless peaks, among which nine are the most dangerous ("Yunnan has Ji Gelong, and nine mountains are the most dangerous").
Sha Dingzhou returned to his ancestral home and regained his confidence when he saw the majestic mountains.
The ancestors are still wise! If you set up the stronghold here, no enemy can break through this natural danger! I think that I am wise and powerful, but I am not as good as my ancestors.
"General Manager, what are you thinking about?" Tang Jianbin asked.
"Alas! Mr. Tang, if I had listened to your kind words and advice, I would have failed like this!"
"Headquarters, although Jigelong is dangerous, it lacks water. Among the nine peaks, only one in the west has a pool at the foot of the mountain. You set up a stronghold by the pool to guard the water source. We will divide our troops to guard the mountain."
Sha Dingzhou ordered Li Rifang to lead 5,000 troops to guard the west peak, and he led 20,000 troops to camp beside the water pool on the west peak; he ordered Tie Zhihu to lead 10,000 troops to guard the three eastern peaks; Tang Jingbin led 10,000 troops to guard the two southern peaks; Chen Changshou
Lead 10,000 troops to defend the two northern peaks; Yang Jiafang leads 5,000 troops to defend the central peak.
The night of Ba Gelong is silent, quietly waiting for the arrival of dawn.
The battle of Jigelong has begun.
Under the cover of fierce fire from the Tiger Crouching Cannon, Ming general Zhang Hu stormed the north peak. The rocks were very hard and bullets could not penetrate the rocks. The soldiers hid behind the rocks and fired downwards. As soon as Zhang Hu's troops approached the top of the mountain, pieces of rock the size of millstones appeared.
The stone rolled down. A soldier was unable to dodge and was thrown off the cliff. His screams echoed in the valley for a long time.
When Wu Zisheng's troops attacked the south peak, Tang Jinjia ordered his men to throw "thunders from the sky" down. The thunderbolts made Wu Zisheng's teeth sore. Braving the thunder, he finally climbed to the top of the mountain, and rows of fire cannons shot down the warriors one by one.
Pour.
Liu Zhenguo and Long Shangdeng wanted to attack Zhongfeng. Chen Changshou, Tang Jiabin and Yang Jiafang fought in three directions, losing two thousand soldiers.
Leng Yangchun, Duan Bomei, and Kong Shicheng bravely attacked Dongshan. Tie Zhihu bombarded the mountain with artillery, killing countless people. Kong Shicheng just rushed to the top of the mountain, and Tie Zhihu took off the horn-hard bow and shot an arrow through the heart.
Yang Weizhi led the five chieftains of Vimalakia to attack the Shadingzhou camp. Zihong, the chieftain of Luliang, led the troops to attack Xifeng. Li Rifang, the defender of Xifeng, guarded for half a day. Suddenly he switched from defense to attack and came down the mountain to kill Zihong. Zihong was caught off guard and was attacked by Li Rifang.
Cut.
Li Rifang defeated Zihong's army and, together with Sha Dingzhou, attacked Yang Weizhi from two sides. Yang's tribe was defeated, Vimalakia chieftain Shen Zhaolin and Wang Chengzu were killed in battle.
??
The battle situation was reported to Shi Qiwen's office, but Shi Qiwen remained silent for a long time.
This Gegelong is hard to fight!
Shi Qiwen ordered the troops not to attack the mountain for the time being, but to instead besiege the Sha army.
When Sha Dingzhou saw that the Ming army could not attack his old village, he couldn't help but feel proud.
I have stored enough food in the old village to last for two years. Why are I afraid of a long-term siege?
At dawn, Li Dingguo observed the enemy camp with a telescope, and suddenly saw a group of rogue soldiers walking out of the Nanshan Tangjia camp and going to the water pool where Sha Dingzhou camped to fetch water.
"The soup bandit's camp is thirty miles away from the sand bandit's camp. Why does the soup bandit have to go so far to get water?"
Li Dingguo asked the scout.
"General, in the entire Qigelong, only the pool where the sand bandits camp has water."
Li Dingguo observed again with a telescope and found that Tang Jiajia's camp was thirty miles away from Sha Dingzhou, Tie Zhihu, and Yang Jiafang's camps.
He couldn't help but burst into laughter: "This Tang guest is a scholar and has never fought in a war. There is no water source here, and the camp is so far away from the friendly forces that it is too late to rescue him. As long as I surround him on the mountain, he will die of thirst in a few days.
Is it done?"
He was enjoying himself when he suddenly reported that Shi Qiwen was looking for him.
When Shi Qiwen saw Li Dingguo in the Chinese army's tent, he said: "Hongyuan, I discovered a flaw in the enemy's army. That Tang Jiabao has set up the camp at a desperate point. You can lead the troops to surround it."
Li Dingguo smiled: "Commander, I have also discovered this plot. However, eliminating Tang Jiajia will not completely eliminate the sand thieves. The general's intention is not to surround Tang Jiajia for the time being, but to send people to monitor Tang Jiajia's camp at all times. Sha Ding
Zhou is the commander-in-chief and will definitely patrol the camp everywhere. When the sand thief inspects Tang Jiajia’s camp, we will directly trap the sand thief and Tang thief together on the mountain."
Shi Qiwen thought for a while, then slapped his thigh: "Oh, Hongyuan's military use is really like Wu Qi's style. I can't match it!"
??
Things went more smoothly than Shi Qiwen and Li Dingguo imagined.
There is a shortage of medical care and medicine on the mountain of Jigelong, and Tang Binbin’s wife Wan Caixia died of illness.
"Xiaoxia, my husband is incompetent and I can't save you!"
Mr. Tang was heartbroken.
"General Manager, there is no resurrection for dead people. Please show your condolences!"
They persuaded Mr. Tang.
"Alas! Come on, go and tell the mistress a message."
When Mistress Wan heard that her sister had died of illness, her pear blossoms were filled with rain and she burst into tears.
"Husband, I want to see my sister one last time."
Sha Dingzhou said hurriedly: "I will go with my wife, and by the way, I will also advise Mr. Tang to express his condolences."
I heard that Sha Dingzhou and his wife were going to Tang Binbin's camp. Tie Zhihu and Chen Changshou, who had a very good relationship with Tang Binbin, also went to visit.
The scouts who had been monitoring Tang Jiajia's camp saw cars flowing like water, horses like dragons, and so many people coming up the mountain, so they hurriedly reported it to Li Dingguo.
Li Dingguo held up his telescope, saw the scene and the momentum, and said with a smile: "There is no doubt that sand thieves will settle the continent."
Generals Shi Qiwen, Mu Tianbo, Li Dingguo, Yang Weizhi, and Lu Huang led their armies directly to the foot of the Tangjia camp. There were three floors inside and three floors outside, and they were surrounded by water. Three trenches were dug in succession, and fences and railings were planted behind the trenches.
Afterwards, a camp was erected, covered with iron caltrops to block the horses. They cut off the water source and prepared to die of thirst on Shading Island.
Sha Dingzhou and others were trying to persuade Tang Jiajia when they suddenly reported that they were surrounded by Ming troops.
"No, there is no water here. Follow me and get out quickly."
Tie Zhihu, Chen Changshou, and Tang Jianjia ignored their sorrow and went into battle, following Sha Dingzhou to kill down the mountain.
"Tiger!"
The soldiers in desperate situation rushed down desperately.
Various artillery pieces of the Ming army fell into the Sha army's array, sweeping away a large area.
The soldiers stepped on the corpses of their companions and jumped over the ditch, only to find that there were fences and barriers behind the ditch.
The Ming army hid behind the barrier and shot, turning the sand soldiers into sieves.
The Saudi army launched seven consecutive attacks, but they were all repulsed, leaving corpses on the ground.
Li Rifang and Yang Jiafang were shocked when they heard the news, and gathered tens of thousands of people from various mountains to rescue Sha Dingzhou.
Shi Qiwen and Li Dingguo were well prepared and set up an ambush to wait for them.
As soon as the two men led the troops and approached the Ming army, ambushes appeared everywhere.
"Tiger!"
Yang Jiafang screamed strangely and planned to break out.
Suddenly I heard the clatter of horse hooves, my neck felt cold, and my head was beheaded by Ming general Zhao Yinxuan.
"Bang! Bah! Bah!"
There was a muffled sound like thunder, and Li Rifang's chest was smashed into a sieve by the fire gun.
"General Manager, I tried my best!"
The long knife fell and made a clanging sound.
After killing the two generals, Shi Qiwen ordered the heads of the two generals to be cut off and sent to the Shadingzhou camp.
Sha Dingzhou was terrified, and in despair, he launched several more attacks, but was beaten back by the Ming army.
"Water! Give me water!"
A soldier fell to the ground and died of thirst.
Tortured by thirst, more and more soldiers came down the mountain and surrendered.
In the large tent of the Sha army, thousands of beauties smiled sadly at Sha Dingzhou: "Husband, at this point, why let your sons die in vain? Surrender! I will die with you."
Sha Dingzhou licked his thirsty lips: "With my wife accompanying me, I will not be alone on the road to hell. This life is worth it!"
The two led their troops to surrender.
??
Mu Tianbo wanted to avenge the murder of his mother and wife, so he sent a message to Zhu Hengjia, asking him to execute Sha Dingzhou and Wan Cailian in Lingchi, and punish the nine tribes.
Conspiracy is a serious crime, and Ling Chi is unavoidable.
But Zhu Hengjia felt that killing the Nine Tribes was a bit much. Thinking about it carefully, Sha Dingzhou actually didn't do anything to apologize to him. At one time, he even wanted to marry him and sent him money and food. On the contrary, he had no credibility and attacked Sha Dingzhou.
zhou.
Feeling guilty, Zhu Hengjia decided to spare the lives of Sha Dingzhou's children, Sha Qi and Sha Yuan. He would only kill Sha Dingzhou, Wan Cailian and their lackeys.
He promoted Yang Weizhi to be the chief envoy of Yunnan, and promoted Wang Yunkai, an official of the Yongchang Prefecture, to be the inspector of Yunnan. He also secretly ordered Yang Weizhi to secretly adopt Sha Qi and Sha Yuan.
He made people know Yang Wei and said: "What's wrong with a child? God has the virtue of a good life. If you adopt him and teach him poetry and calligraphy, he may not be able to become a pillar of the country in the future."
This made Yang Weizhi sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect His Royal Highness, Jianguo, to be so kind-hearted and truly benevolent!"
In the prison in Kunming, Sha Dingzhou and Wan Cailian were tied to the execution pillar and awaited execution.
Suddenly a man in black came.
"I am Ma Jixiang, the commander of Jin Yiwei, and I came to see you two under the order of the supervisor."
Sha Dingzhou raised his head.
Wan Cailian spat hard: "Bah!"
Ma Jixiang was not annoyed: "The supervisor asked me to give you two a message: You two have committed a serious crime of treason. They can only be punished, but they cannot change it. However, your children, Sha Qi and Sha Yuan, have been ordered to The person is adopted by the magistrate Yang Gongwei. Don’t worry, it’s easy to leave.”
After hearing this, Sha Dingzhou and Wan Cai Lian shed tears.
The executioner began the execution and cut the two people 3357 times.
A generation of strong men Sha Dingzhou and Wan Cailian have withdrawn from the stage of history.
This chapter has been completed!
