The Yunnan army who rushed at the front, including men and horses, were all beaten to a sieve, which immediately surprised the cavalry behind. Some tried to retreat, while others continued to rush forward. In a moment of chaos, there were ten
Several knights fell off their horses, and the scene was chaotic.
Wang Mingzhang was a little frightened at first, but when he saw this situation, he immediately realized that the cavalry of the Yunnan Army was just a bluff, and his confidence immediately increased.
In fact, Wang Mingzhang guessed well. Although Yunnan is rich in Yunnan horses, such short horses are a good choice for transporting goods, but it is too reluctant to let the Yunnan horses charge into battle. Although Cai E attaches great importance to cavalry, it is only
With a cavalry force of 1,400 to 5,000, the Yunnan Army was already overwhelmed by the fact that people were eating horses and chewing horses. After Cai E took charge of Yunnan again, relying on the support of Sichuan, he reluctantly expanded the cavalry to 2,000 people.
This is almost the size of a division. As for the remaining three thousand cavalry, they are actually not an army at all, but the armed forces of Yunnan local tyrants, chieftains, and chieftains. Cai E is worried about fighting Qiao Yu ahead.
, these people later jumped out to cause trouble, and simply recruited their troops to improvise such a huge cavalry. It looked very intimidating, but the fatal weakness of lack of organizational training was exposed once they fought.
The commander finally stabilized the team. It was definitely not a good thing to be sniped by the opponent in such a narrow mountain road. He immediately decided to let the miscellaneous charges in those places rely on them to consume the firepower of the Sichuan army. There was nothing these weapons could do.
He could only shout and charge forward. At this time, Wang Mingzhang could clearly see these so-called cavalry. They were dressed in fancy clothes and held up by short Yunnan horses as if they were circus performers.
Wang Mingzhang immediately ordered machine guns to fire, and mortars were also involved. These people usually bully and bully the common people. They have never seen a real battlefield, and the horses have not been trained. As soon as they hear the sound of guns and cannons, they start to move intensively.
Bullets were fired at him, and the knights fell down layer by layer, with countless casualties and screams that shook the sky.
The flesh and blood of men and horses, and body parts were intertwined together. The narrow mountain road was filled with a strong smell of blood, which looked extremely terrifying. These cavalrymen watched as their comrades fell to the ground one by one, shot to death by bullets, and trampled into flesh by horse hooves.
Pancakes, these people couldn't stand it anymore. They turned around and ran backwards regardless of any orders. Due to the large number of people, the real Yunnan Army cavalry in the rear was at a loss and was disrupted by these miscellaneous people.
In the chaos, some people in the two teams of cavalry lost their minds and couldn't help but shoot each other and wave their sabers. Seeing this scene of killing each other, Wang Mingzhang was stunned and overjoyed. He ordered his soldiers to step up their shooting, making the scene even more intense.
Become confused.
According to Cai E's plan, he would use his direct cavalry to attack the enemy, and let these miscellaneous troops come from behind to support them. When the battle was won, these people would be good at fighting with the wind and forming an overwhelming force. However, it was a pity that this idea failed in the face of the cruel reality.
If it fails, it will cause big trouble for one's own people.
At this time, the most critical moment of the pass was reached. The Sichuan army recuperated and braved the heavy rain and began to storm several highlands where the Yunnan Army was defending. Highlands No. 2 and No. 3 changed hands several times. In less than half a day, Zhao Youxin's troops had already
More than five hundred people were killed in the battle, and there were corpses everywhere. The blood merged into the rain, making the entire battlefield smell of pungent blood. The mountain streams and rivers turned blood red, making it hideous and terrifying.
Just when the Yunnan Army was almost unable to bear it anymore, Luo Peijin's reinforcements finally arrived. After two thousand fresh troops joined in, the battle line finally stabilized. The Yunnan Army took advantage of the situation to recapture a high ground, and the two sides were still in a stalemate.
However, the balance of victory has tipped to the Sichuan Army. After a day and two nights of arduous trek, the army led by Wang Zanxu finally reached the vicinity of Zhaotong. However, the team of 6,000 people when they set off now has less than 5,000 left, and the rest have been destroyed.
He was left behind in the mountains, but although he was exhausted, Wang Zanxu still showed a satisfied smile. After all, the mission was finally completed.
"Brothers, I know that we are all exhausted, but victory is right in front of us. As long as Zhaotong is captured, the Yunnan Army will collapse in an instant, and the reunification of the southwest is right in front of us. We must work harder and kill the enemy with meritorious deeds!"
After a simple mobilization, Wang Zanxu selected some soldiers to disguise themselves as wounded soldiers of the Yunnan Army, supported each other and stumbled towards Zhaotong. The defenders of Zhaotong were shocked when they saw this situation.
"What part are you in?"
"Asshole, I just left Zhaotong yesterday, don't you grandsons recognize us? All the reinforcements we sent to Daguan were ambushed, and all of them were killed or injured. Only a few of our brothers escaped. Now I'm afraid everyone in Daguan is ambushed.
No guarantee!"
When the defenders heard what these people said, they were immediately shocked. The pass had fallen, and Zhaotong was about to become the front line. Everyone was frightened and could not care about anything else, so they had to let the wounded soldiers temporarily enter the city to rest.
, and then immediately went to report to Luo Peijin. The wounded soldiers helped each other through several trenches and arrived at the bottom of the city wall. The defenders were about to give these people some food and drink.
As soon as they opened the city gate, they didn't know that these wounded soldiers showed their weapons in an instant, killed more than ten people in an instant, and controlled the city gate. As soon as the Sichuan army heard the sound of gunshots, they knew that the plan was successful, and all the troops immediately came out to seize the city.
At the city gate, the trenches originally set up by the Yunnan Army were all turned into decorations. Although some soldiers were still loyal to their duties and fired, the chaos at the city gate left them with no fighting spirit and chaos, and they were unable to stop them at all.
The surging Sichuan army.
The Sichuan army rushed into the city and quickly defeated the chaotic Dian army. Luo Peijin was still confused and was surrounded by the Sichuan army in the headquarters. Luo Peijin could only surrender. After taking Luo Peijin, the Dian army in the city
The Sichuan army could no longer stop the Sichuan army, and Zhaotong changed hands.
"General Luo, I believe you are a smart man. Now that Zhaotong has changed hands, the situation of the Sichuan-Yunnan War has become clear. You can't see it clearly!"
"Alas, success or failure, since I have been captured, I will obey Master Wang's arrangements!"
"It's best. You should immediately give Zhao Youxin an order and ask him to help Zhaotong quickly!"
Luo Peijin was very obedient and sent a telegram to Zhao Youxin. After Zhao Youxin, who was fighting fiercely on the front line, received the telegram, he was like a thunderbolt. If something went wrong with Zhaotong, would there be any point in fighting hard here? Therefore, Zhao Youxin hurriedly ordered a retreat.
, the so-called defeat is like a mountain falling, after the order was issued, the Yunnan army was not prepared at all.
The retreat soon turned into a rout, a complete rout. The soldiers threw their guns and ammunition on the ground and hurriedly exited the pass. The main force of the Sichuan army quickly occupied the pass. The gate to northern Yunnan was opened, and Zhao Youxin's defeated army had not yet arrived.
Zhaotong, they got the news that Zhaotong was occupied by the Sichuan army, and knew that they had been deceived, but they had no choice but to bypass Zhaotong and retreat to Kunming.
The news that the Sichuan army quickly captured Zhaotong quickly spread throughout the world. No one had any hope for Cai E. The Zhaotong area could not hold on for three or five days due to its favorable terrain. How could other areas resist? People's hearts
The changes further accelerated the Yunnan Army's defeat, and its morale also rapidly declined.
After the Sichuan army forward passed Zhaotong, it was unstoppable along the way. Huize, Dongchuan, and Xundian surrendered without a fight. Local powerful men offered their city to the enemy one after another. Cai E, who was still besieging Luoping, almost fainted after hearing the news. He knew something was wrong.
, we can only abandon Luo Ping and quickly withdraw to Kunming!
"Mingzhang, you fought well! You actually blocked the charge of thousands of cavalry. It's really amazing!"
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, they are a ragtag group of people, not cavalry at all!"
"Don't say that. Once the cavalry is launched, the momentum is still amazing. It's great to be able to stay calm. It's even more amazing to be able to defeat the strong with the weak!"
Han Yong was very satisfied with Wang Mingzhang's performance. When he received the report that the Yunnan Army's cavalry detoured around Xiaobaishiyan Village, he was quite surprised. If the Yunnan Army passed through, the logistics line would immediately be threatened. Fortunately, Wang Mingzhang was
After the reinforcements arrived, the Yunnan Army's cavalry barely managed to stop the chaos, and the roundabout plan naturally failed.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, news came that the Zhaotong defense line had been breached. Both Han Yong and Wu Tong knew that the victory had been established. As expected, the Yunnan army quickly retreated. Han Yong immediately led his army to capture Shizong, Lu
Liang and other places formed a pincer attack with Qiao Yu's main force, and they were rapidly approaching Kunming.
At this time, Cai E's spirit was gone, and his body could no longer hold up, so he fell down. The remaining morale of the Yunnan army had disappeared. Cai E called Gu Pinzhen to his side.
"Xiao Zhai, I'm afraid I'm dying. The Yunnan Army will have to rely on you in the future!" After saying this, Cai E's cough became more and more severe, and his face turned red from holding it in. Gu Pinzhen remained under Cai E's command for a long time.
, now that I see him in such pain, I feel very distressed.
"Captain, you are still young, why would you say such unlucky words?"
Cai E managed to calm down, "Yes, I am young, but when you are young, you must be arrogant, so you can't see another person younger than me surpassing you. Do you think I shouldn't compete?"
Of course Gu Pinzhen knew Cai E's thoughts. From the late Qing Dynasty to the present, China has been a world dominated by young people. Young people in their twenties and thirties are governors and teachers everywhere. This is also true in academia and business. This is unimaginable in later generations.
Yes, everyone knows that this is an era where heroes are everywhere. Who doesn’t want to mark history, who doesn’t want to rule the world. At the most, it’s for the country and the people, and at the least, it’s for one’s own ambitions. Everyone must stick to it.
There is nothing wrong with seizing the power in your hands.
However, it is obvious that Cai E's luck is not good. His opponent is strong, but his health is not good and his condition is serious. He can only end up in this situation. What can Gu Pinzhen say.
"Captain, please keep the green hills here so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. It's better for you to take care of yourself!"
"Now that things have happened, you don't need to persuade me anymore. Let Mr. Li Mo go and let him be the governor of Yunnan Province and be responsible for the aftermath. We can no longer let the elders of Yunnan suffer because of me!" dd
