The defeat of the Ming Dynasty army at Fenghuang Ridge was not only caused by someone passing the news to Luo Guanzhong.

Someone also brought the news to Tang He, the commander of the Guizhou Capital Division in the rear.

As the supreme commander of the Guizhou Ming Army, Tang He immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. He had previously underestimated the energy of the chieftain rebels, and did not expect that so many internal forces could be developed from the mountain people.

Tang He made a prompt decision and personally led the elite Ming army in Guizhou along the mountain road towards the Buffalo Village area. He estimated that as long as the Ming troops in Buffalo Village were not careless, they would be able to hold on until he arrived with reinforcements.

At this time, outside Buffalo Walled City, the chieftain army led by rebel leader Yang Wanzhong was already in a dilemma.

Yang Wanzhong led the Territorial Division rebels, although they won the Battle of Phoenix Ridge and killed more than 300 Ming soldiers.

However, Huang Shan, the commander of the Ming army in Fenghuangling, ordered the warehouses in Fenghuangling to be burned before Fenghuangling was defeated. The chieftain rebels did not receive a grain of grain or other supplies.

Now they have lost more than a thousand elite soldiers under Buffalo Walled City. If they don't break through Buffalo Walled City, they will lose money this time.

Especially as the spies from the front reported that the Ming army was heading towards Buffalo Village, Yang Wanzhong was even more anxious.

"If we, the Yang family of Bozhou, cannot destroy this Ming army, we will never have the chance to restore our ancestral foundation."

Yang Wanzhong thought over and over again and decided to make a last-ditch effort.

Yang Wanzhong personally went into battle and urged his rebel soldiers to launch a desperate attack.

It has to be said that the rebels still had some courage in the desperate situation. They attacked from the morning to the evening despite the Ming army's guns and artillery.

The muskets and artillery in the hands of the Ming army were so hot that they could no longer be fired.

In such an emergency situation, Luo Guanzhong still did not panic.

Luo Guanzhong drew a spear and led his soldiers in a fierce hand-to-hand fight with the rebels on the top of the city.

When night fell, many rebel corpses were already densely piled outside Buffalo Village.

Encouraged by Yang Wanzhong and other leaders, the rebels felt that the Ming army could defeat them and they could no longer use powerful firearms.

But now the Ming army relied on hand-to-hand combat with swords and guns, and still beat them to a pulp.

This caused the rebels to lose all their last vestiges of confidence.

By that night, due to the repeated disastrous defeats, many people among the rebels felt desperate, especially since many of them had lost brothers or fathers and sons in the battle, and each one of them started to cry sadly.

At the beginning, only a few people were sad and crying, but gradually the number of people increased, and the entire rebel camp was filled with the sound of wailing and crying.

Seeing this situation, Yang Wanzhong knew that there was no need to continue fighting.

In particular, that night the spies of the chieftain rebels came to report to Yang Wanzhong that the Ming army general Tang He had led more than 7,000 elites to kill from the rear, and the Fenghuangling camp occupied by the chieftain rebels had already fled.

If Yang Wanzhong and the others continue to delay here at Buffalo Village, they will not be able to escape once the Ming army appears and they try to escape.

the next day.

Before dawn, Yang Wanzhong led his men to quietly withdraw from the camp and fled toward the rear.

The chieftain rebels fled very quickly.

There was not even time to clean up and take away the corpses of the rebels outside Buffalo Village.

Luo Guanzhong sent scouts to track Yang Wanzhong and his companions, but they failed.

There was no trace of the enemy at all.

"Sir, Yang Wanzhong and his men have fled. What should we do? Should we pursue them?" asked a hundred households.

"They are familiar with the terrain and can run very fast. Order all the scouts to dispatch and pursue them cautiously," Luo Guanzhong ordered.

"As you command!"

Yang Wanzhong ran wildly with his men and horses, and finally got rid of the Ming army behind him after the sun rose.

"Sir! Where are we going now?" Yang Wanzhong's subordinates asked.

Yang Wanzhong shook his head: "No matter where we go, save our lives first."

"The Ming army can't catch up with us. Do you want to wait and see?"

"Whether they pursue us or not, we must leave now. Our troops have suffered too many casualties, and coupled with the shortage of food and grass, we cannot survive the Ming army's pursuit." Yang Wanzhong said.

"Sir, what should we do next?" Yang Wanzhong's leader continued to ask.

"We can only go west now. No matter what, let's return to the Shuixi family's territory as soon as possible." Yang Wanzhong sighed.

Yang Wanzhong led the rebels from the Territory Department to run wildly. The Ming army was unfamiliar with the terrain and after pursuing it for a long time, they stopped pursuing it.

At this time, Tang He, the commander of Guizhou Dusi in the Ming Dynasty, had led the main army to Buffalo Village.

"My subordinate, Luo Guanzhong, pays homage to Mr. Du Si." As soon as Luo Guanzhong saw Tang He, he immediately led his men into formation to greet him.

"Luo Qianhu, you fought well in this battle. I want to show you my merits to the court!"

When Tang He saw Luo Guanzhong, he was immediately very happy and praised him.

"Master Dusi, you are so complimentary. I feel ashamed of my humble position." Luo Guanzhong said modestly.

"Luo Qianhu, I heard that your men captured about 2,000 rebels on the city wall yesterday." Tang He said with a smile.

"I feel ashamed of my humble position. Those traitors are just a mob. There is no difficulty at all." Luo Guanzhong said.

"Haha... Okay, don't be modest. I think your subordinates are all first-rate good men. Just prepare yourself. I will take you back to the capital. When we get to the capital, I will write an imperial edict to commend you." Tang

He patted Luo Guanzhong on the shoulder and smiled.

When Luo Guanzhong heard this, he was surprised and said: "Sir, are you going to let me return to the capital? This... this, the Guizhou chieftain rebels have not been wiped out!"

Luo Guanzhong asked in disbelief.

"Hahaha, the information we just got is that Chen Youliang of Sichuan has started war with the Mongols in Yunnan. This will leave these chieftains in Guizhou without anyone to support them, and they will not be able to survive for a few days. Well, you don't have to worry.

Now, you come back to Beijing with me to report on your work." Tang He continued to say to Luo Guanzhong.

"Well, let's see. You have worked hard during this period. After you go back, rest for a few days and then follow me back to Beijing. By the way, your troops will be led by the deputy general for the time being." Tang He said to Luo Guanzhong.

"Thank you for taking care of me, sir." Luo Guanzhong said respectfully.

"Well, you should go back and make arrangements first." Tang He ordered.

After the Ming army conquered the Guizhou chieftain rebels for more than half a year, they had already lost their troops and generals. Now Basara Varmi, the king of Liang in Yunnan, who was causing trouble behind them, had no time to take care of himself. It was only a matter of time before the Guizhou chieftains surrendered.

So just after returning to the capital, Zhu Han of Yingtian Prefecture sent people to rush 800 miles to stop Tang He from continuing to attack the Guizhou chieftains. The best way to deal with these chieftains is to add carrots and sticks to save them all.

Push it to Chen Youliang's side.

A few days later, after some repairs, Tang He led General Luo Guanzhong on the journey back to Yingtianfu, the capital.

Chengdu, Sichuan.

Since the Ming army began to attack Guizhou.

Emperor Chen Youliang of the Han Dynasty has always paid attention to the situation in Guizhou.

Guizhou has high mountains and dangerous roads, and the chieftain forces in various places are intertwined. Chen Youliang originally thought that it would take the Ming army three to five years to defeat the various chieftains in Guizhou.

But Chen Youliang never expected that the Ming army would conquer half of Guizhou in only half a year.

He crippled Yang, the chieftain of Bozhou.

If things continue like this, it won't take long for the Ming army to conquer all of Guizhou.

Once Guizhou fell into the hands of the Ming army, Sichuan, which Chen Youliang had just conquered, would face a direct threat from the south.

Therefore, Chen Youliang decided to take the initiative and lead his army south to attack Yunnan!

As long as the Mongols in Yunnan are defeated, the chieftains in Guizhou will fall to his side. In this way, Chen Youliang can use the land and population of Yunnan and Guizhou in Sichuan to resist the Ming army.

Therefore, the Mongolian King of Liang's attack on Yunnan this time was of great importance. Chen Youliang was not sure about entrusting such an important task to others, so he announced that he would personally attack the army, claiming to have an army of 300,000.

Chen Youliang claimed to have an army of 300,000, but in fact it was impossible to have such a large number of troops.

The core force of the Han army was the veterans of the Red Turban Army brought by Chen Youliang from Hubei. The total number did not exceed 30,000. Even if you include the soldiers recruited by Sichuan's local tyrants to divide their fields, it would only be an additional 50,000.

Even with all calculations, it was impossible to exceed 100,000 people, let alone 300,000 people. However, Chen Youliang dared to boast that he had 300,000 troops and threatened to capture Dali in thirty days.

There was a sudden panic in Yunnan. The Yuan army stationed at the Jinsha Pass on the front line sent five groups of scouts to secretly report to King Basaraval of Liang to request reinforcements.

However, before the Yuan army at Jinsha Pass could wait for reinforcements, they first saw tens of thousands of troops marched by Chen Youliang himself!

"The red scarf thief is here!"

"Hurry up the beacon!"

Outside Jinsha Pass, Chen Youliang gave the order to attack without hesitation. He just wanted to capture Yunnan as quickly as possible.

"Kill all the dog Tatars!"

"kill!"

"Surrender, no killing!"

…

Tens of thousands of Red Scarf troops shouted in unison and surged towards Jinsha Pass like a tide.

The defenders of the Yuan Dynasty on the city wall of Jinsha Pass were frightened to death when they saw the overwhelming enemy.
