Li Benzhen led more than 10,000 troops in hot pursuit, and finally encountered strong resistance at the Black Seat.

The Ming army, which occupied favorable terrain, relied on the trench parapet fortifications and used blunderbuss, bows and arrows, rolling logs, and stones to give the Qing army a head-on attack.

Three consecutive attacks were repulsed, and Li Benshen realized that he was facing a very effective Ming army. Although the number did not seem large, it could not be easily defeated.

But he didn't realize the true strength of the Ming army, let alone the Ming army reinforcements coming from afar. Seeing that it was getting dark, he ordered to set up camp and prepare to fight again tomorrow.

Li Yue stood at a high place, holding up a telescope and looking around, with a slight sneer at the corner of his mouth.

The forward troops were equal in strength to the enemy, but he was still confident of defeating them. But he believed that this was not the best plan.

He only used a small number of troops to block the attack and hid his strength, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements. Huang Li did not strictly formulate an action plan, giving Li Yue room to display.

Seeing that it is already dark, the enemy is unlikely to retreat, at least until dawn tomorrow. At that time, they will not be able to leave even if they want to, and what awaits the enemy will be a fierce siege and attack.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Li Yue turned his head and saw Pi Xiong walking over, and quickly bowed and saluted.

Pixiong smiled, cupped his hands, and said: "General Li, An Kun and others have reorganized their troops, and there are still three to four thousand local soldiers who can fight."

Pixiong pondered, letting the horse rein his horse and retreating with the team.

"Madam, when I meet with you in the palace, let him be with you!" An Kun said with a smile: "If the words are correct, he can also make up for it."

"Hey, I thought that you, An Kun, are not famous in the world either." An Kun couldn't sleep, got up excitedly, glanced at his sleeping wife, put on his clothes and went out, grinning in the moonlight.

.

"After the decisive battle, we still need to solve the minor problem of the Eight Domains. At most, we must be able to stabilize us, or use a large number of troops to contain and block our actions."

In fact, that is the uniqueness and advantage of Pixiong. What I see is Qichuan or Guizhou, but the whole country. I also think about peace, but whether to die or break up with the Manchus.
p>

As for the Qing army in Yunnan, they want to come over to avenge Lu Tianxiang. The journey is far away, and there is no Wang Wu to help in the battle. The chieftains from various families will also rise up to resist the Qing. I am really afraid!

Even though the historical trajectory has changed very little, few historical events and the thinking and actions of historical figures still have no reference and reference role for Pixiong.

It is not like a huge dark cloud hanging under Huang Li's head. Whenever there is a thunderstorm or heavy rain, it will bring little threat to Huang Li.

Li Benshen smiled and said: "My ancestors have blessed me, and my husband is decisive and brave, so we are not in the current situation."

"Will Guizhou become a new battlefield? Do I need to invest a small amount of troops?" Pi Xiong doesn't think so. The key is what kind of situation Yunnan will become based on my strategy, and I can completely determine it.

"Huang Lichu built it, and the palace wanted to divide the troops, which is reasonable." The Ming army said anxiously: "But the situation has not changed now. It is imperative to defend Guizhou and resist the Wu army in Yunnan."

"Gan and Liang soldiers are the best soldiers in the sky." Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the troops stationed in various places in Gansu were still relatively ineffective.

"The prince will arrive tomorrow. Is your husband thinking about how to give the right answer?" Li Benzhen was blown by the night wind and became confused. He asked Wen Yan: "Compared to reviving Xiao Ming, we in Shuixi are insignificant."

The seventh battalion retreated, and the other battalion and eight thousand native soldiers were organized into eight troops. They were interspersed in a straight line and would give the fleeing enemy a continuous and continuous pursuit and killing blow.

The Ming army nodded and said: "After defeating Wu Sangui's troops in the first battle, there will be fewer Qing troops left in Guizhou. Your army can take advantage of the victory to capture Guiyang."

What's more, a small amount of weapons and ammunition reserves are still needed. This is at the battle level, but a small battle and a small decisive battle.

Chuandong pondered for a while and said: "Even so, the strategies and strategies of the Emperor are always unexpected, and I know what the final decision will be."

"Actually, the strength is definitely weak enough, and there is no more ruthless strategic retreat plan. One army is in Sichuan to contain the Qing army of Gansu and Shaanxi, a small army then enters the Yangtze River, and the other army attacks Jingzhou, approaches Xiangyang, goes straight to Henan, and cuts out the Central Plains.

heart;"

As the night gets darker, torches are lit up, illuminating the road, like a winding fire dragon swimming among the mountains.

However, Wang Wu’s tendency has not yet been determined. As for whether it will change, it will have to be adjusted based on changes in the actual situation.

An Kun waved his hands repeatedly and said with no shame: "If it was Madam who advised me, you would have almost made a small mistake. If Lu Tianxiang and Wu Sangui attacked from within the next day, your army will definitely be defeated."

………………

Pixiong pulled on his riding boots, squinted his eyes, and estimated the strength of the troops. He was not sure that he would need at least 700,000 troops.

Just like that, An Kundiqing sent people to pass orders to each village and the local soldiers who were advancing separately, to block the road from Shuixi to the inner boundary, and to intercept and kill the fleeing Qing soldiers.

The performance of the Gansu and Shaanxi Green Camp during the Rebellion of the Eight Feudatories also made Pi Xiong lower his vigilance by 17 points and regard him as a powerful enemy on par with Wang Wuyi.

Without the order from An Kun, the villages in various places and the local soldiers sent in fully cooperated, and the difficult road was no longer an obstacle.

Chuandong agreed and said: "Your Majesty will probably refuse, although after sending troops, apart from aiding Shuixi, there is no specific action plan."

An Kun also saw that as long as Wu Sangui's Qing army was annihilated, there would be almost no enemies in Guizhou that could threaten Shuixi.

After fighting against the Wu army, An Kun was also shaken off his arrogance. The idea of ​​"a hundred thousand victorious soldiers" and being able to resist the enemy alone has not yet ceased to exist.

What's more, if the first situation can leave Sichuan to attack Gansu and Shaanxi, they can retreat to the Central Plains and approach the capital. The threat to the Qing court can be said to be direct and small.

Others can take one step and see eight steps, and they can see a year; but Pi Xiong can take one step and see seven steps, and his gaze can last for several years.

Without the confused understanding, An Kun has grown back and become more humble.

"My husband is wise." Li Benzhen praised deeply and said calmly: "If you want this or that at this time, it is difficult to be seen as arrogant based on merit. According to you, the prince can personally lead a small army to Shuixi,

Then you can see that he doesn’t believe his words.”

"Each chieftain can muster up to 70,000 to 80,000 to 100,000 troops. At least seven battalions of troops can be left behind, which is just a few to stabilize the war situation. The main focus should be on Gansu and Shaanxi in the north, and strive to capture it as soon as possible.

Hanzhong."

Killing Lu Tianxiang is a small achievement. Can you give two of the Xuanfu envoys promised by the palace? Yes, you can give one more Xuanfu envoy.

Li Yue said with a smile: "Let them rest temporarily until reinforcements arrive, leading our army to make circuitous maneuvers to pursue the fleeing enemy."

"The other army attacked Wuchang again, moved up the river, passed through the north of the river, and cut off the water transportation to the southeast. In this way, even if it could defeat the Qing court in one fell swoop, the separation of the north and the south would basically be determined."

"Guizhou borders Guangxi, but we still need to be careful about the Qing army in Guangxi. The Guangxi Admiral is in charge of national security. The intelligence is not detailed. We only know that he is a general under Kong Mude who defeated the Jin Dynasty king Li Dingguo in Guilin."

Even if you start from the south and go to the north, and work step by step, it is still a strategy to seize the sky.

"If the army and food are not prepared, Hexi will be safe. If Hexi is safe, Guan Shaanxi will be safe, and the Central Plains will be safe!"

Li Benzhen reached out and patted An Kun's arm, and said with a smile: "He is also a member of the Ninja clan who suffered too few casualties."

The Qing government would feel that way very slowly. The road would get wider and wider, and few plans would be announced as soon as they were implemented.

In the words of the previous life, this is not about "walking his path and letting him have a way to go".

Even if it is not exaggerated, we can still see the misery of the Shuixi Yi people. But now, such a tragedy is probably going to happen.

No matter how little Wang Wu said it, he thought it was true in his heart. With such a small trend, how could it be anything new?

That is not Wang Wu's obsession, but the geographical location of Gansu and Shaanxi determines its strategic significance.

"It is true that the casualties were heavy." An Kun sighed heavily, "But it is still worth it."

This is indeed the case. Reinforcements must have arrived, and An Kun and others had to flee all the way without even risking their lives. It cannot be said that the crisis was resolved solely because of Li Yue's efforts.

The icing on the cake is like providing help in the snow. When An Kun and others were fleeing in embarrassment, Li Yue arrived at just the right moment. A small difference equals a life-saving grace.

There is a big gap in combat power between the local soldiers and the Ming and Qing armies. What Shuixi can rely on is simply the simple terrain.

Moreover, according to my estimation, the Qing army in Guizhou will definitely be wiped out, and the number of enemies in Yunnan will be slightly reduced. The bad situation is that too few mobile troops will be deployed.

The sound of soft footsteps sounded, and Wang Wuyi walked out drowsily with his clothes on, "Husband, why are you having a bad rest? Didn't you have a little fight in the early morning?"

Li Benzhen was also looking forward to it in his heart. Hearing what An Kun said, he thought about it for a while and then reluctantly agreed.

An Kun chuckled and said: "Shui Xi has turned the corner, and there is no sign of recovery. You are really depressed and can't sleep peacefully."

Around Haishi (four o'clock in the evening), eight battalions of reinforcements arrived at Baizuo. Sichuan East immediately arranged for us to rest, summoned the generals, and arranged a general offensive in the early morning.

……………

An Kun was silent for a long time and said hastily: "How can you not be self-aware? Whether it is the Qing army or Li Yue, they are all huge little things. It was Shuixi who provoked them. So, naturally they will make any demands.

Just wait for the reward from the palace."

Haha, Shuixi has been revived under your hands, have all the ancestors of the An family seen it?

Of course it was worth it. An Kun knew that Lu Tianxiang slaughtered people for eight years before he conquered Shuixi in history. It is said that only eighty-four households of Yi people were left in Shuixi.

At this time, Wang Wudiqing's front army also set off and retreated to Bai Zuo overnight.
