Chapter 274 Zunyi Victory(1/2)
For Zhang Yanfang, the rebels in front of him were not taken seriously at all.
With a three-to-one ratio, I have more than 10,000 people, and it will definitely take no effort to beat them, let alone these people are defeated soldiers.
And I have enough manpower, good rest and good equipment, and not all my subordinates are full of wine bags, so Zhang Yanfang is confident.
The fact was just as he thought, and the battle was in a state of destruction at the beginning.
The people led by Zhang Tong had no resistance at all. After the Ming army rushed forward, many people lost their swords and directly surrendered.
Although Zhang Tong fought to the death and wanted to make a desperate attempt, it was useless, and failure was like a shadow.
When the last few personal guards around Zhang Tong were also killed, he lifted the knife in his hand and wanted to wipe his neck, but the Ming army directly cut off his right hand, and the person was taken to Zhang Yanfang and knelt on the ground.
After looking at Zhang Tong with a blood-colored face and dim eyes, Zhang Yanfang waved her hand directly and said without caring: "Go on."
Zhang Yanfang had no intention of asking questions at all, and he didn't want to ask because it didn't make much sense. As long as you catch the living, you will have your own contribution. Leave the rest to the governor and the master of the capital to do.
In Zunyi City, Qi Yuangong walked out expressionlessly.
His face was not very good. Although he won this battle, there were many war losses, and there were many. Two of the Hu Xiao Camp died and dozens of people were injured.
A few people actually chased them too hard and sprained their feet without paying attention to the road under their feet; some people jumped off the wall and chased them, and they went to their waists. This made Qi Yuangong very angry.
As for the two who died in battle, they were beaten and ambushed because of their greed and aggressive progress. Qi Yuangong felt that this was a shame, which was simply too embarrassing.
Qi Yuangong came to Yuan Keli and Sun Chuanting with a dark face and said, "Sir, Zunyi City has been taken down."
Looking at Qi Yuangong's expression, Yuan Keli and Sun Chuanting were both stunned.
Isn't this a pretty fight?
He easily took Zunyi City and no one of his side suffered any losses. Why did Qi Yuangong have this expression?
"It's done very well." Yuan Keli immediately reacted and said with a smile: "I will ask you for me to thank Your Majesty."
"Thank you, sir." Qi Yuangong said hurriedly.
Sun Chuanting, who was on the other side, also spoke at this time. He looked at Qi Yuangong and asked in confusion: "This battle was very beautiful. You won't look very happy when you take Zunyi City so quickly?"
Qi Yuangong did not hide it, and he told him what he had encountered with a calm face.
Yuan Keli and Sun Chuanting looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and shook their heads, feeling helpless.
It’s unreasonable to say what Qi Yuangong said, but what others said makes sense. This is indeed an avoidable loss. Something that shouldn’t have happened, but it happened.
It seems that he can do something unreasonable. If he wins such a big battle at such a small price, he will be praised by others wherever he is sent.
But Qi Yuangong was right, and he couldn't agree or say anything about him.
If you agree, you feel uncomfortable; if you talk about him, he feels uncomfortable. Anyway, this feeling is very strange.
So Yuan Keli and Sun Chuanting decisively changed the subject. The two of them didn't say anything about this issue at all. They directly ordered Qi Yuangong to withdraw his troops and set up a camp.
After all, it was about to be evening. The army marched and fought all day, so we had to stay here for one night.
As for Zunyi City, it needs to be cleaned up. Although the fight has been completed, the bodies and broken limbs are covered with blood and blood. It needs to be cleaned up before moving in.
In addition, the people in the city were also very panicked. They suffered great disasters and trauma and needed good comfort.
Now that the army enters the city, it is easy to have problems and it is easy to scare ordinary people. So just set up camp outside the city.
The camp was ready soon and the supper was ready.
Especially in the military camps on Qi Yuangong's side, the fragrance drifted far away, causing soldiers from other military camps to swallow their saliva.
In the coach's tent, Yuan Keli was helpless and asked Sun Chuanting: "Do they eat so well? Is this stewing meat?"
"Sir, I'm indeed stewing meat." Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "This is what they bought with their own money, and some of them simply exchanged with the people for food. They paid the money themselves, so we don't have any trouble interfering."
Yuan Keli glared at Sun Chuanting in anger.
How can I interfere if someone buys it themselves?
Run to tell others not to eat?
I don't do such offending things.
However, Yuan Keli was also a little hesitant. Is Your Majesty a little too fond of them?
However, when Yuan Keli thought of his record during the day, he didn't know what to say. Even if he went back to ask His Majesty for advice, it would probably be useless. With such record, he would be pale and powerless to say anything.
Soon the whole army had dinner, and Zhang Yanfang also brought his men back.
Zhang Tong was escorted, and this battle can be said to have won a great victory.
The army was celebrating at night, but Yuan Keli and Sun Chuanting were not that happy because they knew that things had just begun.
After dinner, several important officials from the army gathered at Yuan Keli's tent.
In addition to Yuan Keli and Sun Chuanting, there are Li Biao and Zhang Yanfang.
After several people sat down, Yuan Keli said: "Today's battle to revive Zunyi is a good start, and we can start the next plan. This is just the beginning. We must restrain the entire army and do not be complacent."
Li Biao hurriedly said, "Don't worry, sir, the official knows what to do, and has asked someone to continue to give orders. In addition to celebrating tonight, the entire army will continue to be martial law tomorrow."
Nodding gently, Yuan Keli said, "It's so good."
Even if this topic is over, Yuan Keli continued: "Next, we will continue to march. Tomorrow we will divide our troops into two groups. Sun Chuanting and Qi Yuangong will lead people to support Sichuan and attack Chongqing in surprise. This battle is dangerous, so you must be careful and protect yourself."
Now Yuan Keli is really a treasure in his heart against the five thousand men and horses that Qi Yuangong has brought. He also knows that this is His Majesty's treasure. If it is lost here, he really can't explain it.
Sun Chuanting and Qi Yuangong nodded and signaled that they knew.
However, both Yuan Keli and Li Biao felt that the guarantees of these two people were not very reliable. But at this point, I can only trust them.
After saying this, Yuan Keli turned to look at Zhang Yanfang and ordered: "Zhang Yanfang, you can transfer 5,000 people to them tomorrow and take your men with them. After walking fifteen miles, you will break the whole thing and withdraw it. You will declare to the public that you have entered Sichuan."
"Don't worry, sir, there's no problem." Zhang Yanfang said hurriedly.
This is a plan they had already formulated, so I will just talk about it tonight. Yuan Keli led his people to wait for An Bangyan, while the other team went to attack Chongqing.
"Okay, you will set out tomorrow morning. I have been fighting for a day today, so go back and rest early." said Sun Chuanting and Qi Yuangong as Yuan Keli looked at it.
The two of them quickly stood up and said, "In this way, the official will say goodbye."
After saying this, the two of them turned around and left.
After the two left, Yuan Keli's eyes fell on Li Biao and Zhang Yanfang's faces and said, "They are leaving, let's discuss it too?"
The two of them were stunned. Why did they have to carry the two of them on their backs?
Are the two of them not the ones you brought to you by adults?
Although he was a little confused, Li Biao and Zhang Yanfang still sat down. They were originally planning to say goodbye, but now it seems that they can't leave.
After the two sat down, Yuan Keli said: "It's hard to say about them here just now. Now they're leaving, just right. They're taking people to attack Chongqing, so we can't wait. This trip is very dangerous and requires our support."
"The situation in Sichuan is not very good. The whole Sichuan is now in chaos. Chengdu is surrounded, Chongqing is surrounded, and many parts of Sichuan have been occupied by rebels. It can be said that it is in a critical situation. We cannot be in Guiyang just because of An Bangyan. We need to enter Sichuan."
Li Biao and Zhang Yanfang looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Of course they knew that Yuan Keli was right, and they were indeed going to support Sichuan.
Li Biao asked, "What do you mean by sir?"
"We can't wait for An Bangyan, we must take the initiative." Yuan Keli said: "Tomorrow you will send someone to send a letter to An Bangyan and ask him to bring 10,000 people to Zunyi, and we said that we have sent troops to Sichuan, with empty troops and need him to help garrison."
After hearing Yuan Keli's words, Li Biao also understood what he was going to do.
This is putting a trap for An Bangyan.
If An Bangyan really wants to rebel, it is impossible to miss such an opportunity. An Bangyan would bring people to Zunyi and directly control himself, and the entire Guizhou would be without a leader.
At that time, An Bangyan can occupy the entire Guizhou. After all, according to his own words, Guizhou's troops are empty.
In fact, Guizhou's troops are indeed empty, but not essentially empty, because Li Biao has already drawn his troops to his command. In addition to the 5,000 troops given to Sun Chuanting and others, he also has 30,000 troops in his hands.
If An Bangyan brings 10,000 people here, An Bangyan's heart can be felt, after all, he has someone around him.
In addition, there are 30,000 people around me, so it would not take too much effort to kill An Bangyan's 10,000 people.
However, Li Biao was still hesitant and asked, "What if An Bangyan doesn't come and rebel directly?"
After hearing Li Biao's words, Yuan Keli was silent for a moment and said, "That's right, I don't have to plot against An Bangyan anymore. I just happened to start a war with him. After destroying him, we can go to Sichuan."
After hearing Yuan Keli's words, Li Biao hesitated and finally said helplessly: "Master Dutang, An Bangyan is very powerful. If he really rebels, he may win over other chieftains around him. At that time, he should have an army of tens of thousands of people. We are not large in number and do not have an advantage in the army, so it is probably difficult to fight."
Yuan Keli glanced at Li Biao, his eyes were a little strange, and he was silent for a moment before saying, "When will we fight them have to be equal in numbers?"
"It's just a group of barbarians. Although I only have 30,000 people in my hands, even if he has 100,000 people in his hands, he will still become my prisoner." Yuan Keli had this confidence.
What else can I put in to fight An Bangyan?
Yuan Keli didn't want to waste too much time here. The New Year was about to be celebrated. He was still thinking about sending good news to His Majesty. His Majesty would not let him stay here, the Southwest Governor, whoever loves to do it.
Li Biao was a little embarrassed.
Zhang Yanfang, who was on the side, was also a little embarrassed, and finally said helplessly: "Then I will listen to it all, I will ask someone to deliver the letter immediately."
Nodding gently, Yuan Keli said, "Then let's go and arrange it."
The next morning, Sun Chuanting and Qi Yuangong set off with their men.
Li Biao also went to arrange someone to send a letter to An Bangyan.
Yuan Keli was looking at the map to make a plan, wanting to annihilate An Bangyan as soon as possible.
