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.
