At the end of Ming Dynasty: I, Sun Kewang!Desperate comeback!

Chapter 167 Situation Reversal
"King Gaoyi of Jin has reinforcements from Liu Zhenguo and Dou Mingwang. Anshun will definitely attack."

Gao Wengui cupped his hands and said: "Wait for Anshun, the road to Guiyang will be clear, and our army can march straight in and capture Guiyang in one fell swoop."

"I hope so." Li Dingguo sighed, waved his hand, and asked his cronies to issue military orders.

Soon, soldiers and horses from various battalions gathered in the Beipanjiang area.

Liu Zhenguo and Dou Mingwang quickly received supplies of food and grass.

After eating and drinking, the two soldiers and horses began to advance rapidly along the road between Guiyang and Kunming.

But what worried Li Dingguo was that there were still problems with the Ming army's grain and grass transportation.

The grain and grass transported from Kunming to the Beipanjiang area are not only delayed in quantity, but also have quality problems that have not been improved repeatedly.

The bulky red cannon has been stranded on the road. Not only can it not be transported to Anshun, it is still some distance away from Beipanjiang.

With all this, not only Li Dingguo, but also all the Ming army generals were worried about the upcoming decisive battle.

"Gao Lingbo, you didn't bring the red heavy artillery. Do you think we can capture Anshun?"

As the endless army advanced, Tai'an Bo Dou Mingwang said in a deep voice.

"Uncle Tai'an, do your best and obey fate." Liu Zhenguo sighed and said nothing more.

Dou Mingwang was a close confidant of Li Dingguo. During Zhang Xianzhong's period, he served as the commander of the Royal City of Imperial Guards.

Liu Zhenguo was Sun Kewang's old subordinate.

In the past, Sun Kewang's main force was concentrated in Hunan and Guizhou.

Li Dingguo led his troops to abandon Guangxi, preparing to enter Anlong to pick up Emperor Yongli, and then transfer to Yunnan.

At this time, the movements of Li Dingguo's army were detected by Zhang Hu's Jinyi Guards and reported to Lord Sun.

Because at that time, Sun Guozhu's main force was concentrated on the front line.

Therefore, Liu Zhenguo and Guan Youcai could only be sent to lead troops to Tianzhou to stop Li Dingguo.

In the meantime, Sun Guozhu, who had a big head, had an episode.

It was recorded by many scholars that he wanted to send Liu Zhenguo and Guan Youcai to Guangxi to attack Li Dingguo.

Damn it, send Liu Zhenguo and Guan Youcai to attack Li Dingguo?
Although Lord Sun was a little mentally disturbed at that time, he had never used Benbo Baer as a Tathagata!

If Liu Zhenguo and Guan Youcai had this ability, would they still be unknown under Sun Guozhu and be responsible for doing odd jobs?
The gap between Liu Zhenguo and Guan Youcai and Li Dingguo can be imagined.

Naturally, the two of them were easily defeated by Li Dingguo later. Guan Youcai was still loyal to Lord Sun. Although his troops and horses were lost, he still knew how to run back.

At that time, Liu Zhenguo became the first Qin general to defect to Li Dingguo, and gained Li Dingguo's admiration.

After that, there was internal strife between Sun and Li, and internal strife between Jin and Shu.

Liu Zhenguo's troops were stranded in Guizhou and were almost completely wiped out by Wu Sangui.

And because Liu Zhenguo was more loyal and Li Dingguo had more Qin soldiers, he was not afraid of not having soldiers, but he was afraid of not having generals.

After Guiyang fell, Liu Zhenguo ran back to Yunnan. Li Dingguo re-allocated thousands of troops and handed them over to Commander Liu Zhenguo.

Liu Zhenguo and Dou Mingwang's troops continued to advance along the road, and a few days later, they successfully met up with Qi Sansheng's troops in the Anshun area.

"Uncle Tai'an, Uncle Gao Ling, you are finally here." Qi Sansheng was very excited after seeing the two of them.

"Marquis Xianning, since the soldiers sent out troops, their supplies have often been delayed, so their marching speed has been slower." Liu Zhenguo replied.

"Alas! We just left the Yunnan Grain Road and it's like this." Qi Sansheng was also filled with emotion.

The supply of military rations is the top priority of the army. If the soldiers do not have enough to eat, it will cause a series of problems.

The decrease in marching speed is one of the manifestations.

You know, the veterans of the Shun Army did not starve to death due to lack of food all year round.

However, these veterans who were able to suppress Wu Sangui in the past have now begun to go back and forth with the Green Camp soldiers, and have always been restricted to the Kuidong Mountain Area.

Although the soldiers in Xiying were short of food for only a few months, its bad effects have begun to be gradually felt.

"Uncle Tai'an, Uncle Gaoling, it's good that you are here. The chieftain sent news the day before yesterday that the Manchu and Mongolian Tatars led by Doni have entered Guizhou and will soon arrive in Guiyang." Qi Sansheng said solemnly.

"What!" Liu Zhenguo and Dou Mingwang were shocked.

"Marquis Xianning, is the news reliable?" Dou Mingwang asked in a serious voice.

"It shouldn't be wrong. Counting the days, it's time for Dhoni's Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia to arrive in Guizhou." Qi Sansheng sighed.

"When things come to this, we can only capture Anshun first and open the passage into Guiyang, and then see what King Jin is going to do."

Liu Zhenguo and Dou Mingwang both nodded solemnly.

"Two of you, I have a rest for the night. I have sent people to carefully explore the terrain around Anshun. Tomorrow our army will properly deploy the red-coated artillery to suppress the Tatar firepower and destroy the Anshun city wall as much as possible."

"Gather more than [-] soldiers and horses from each battalion and take Anshun directly in one go!" Qi Sansheng said seriously.

When Liu Zhenguo and Dou Mingwang heard this, they looked at each other in confusion.

"You two, is there anything wrong with my commander's arrangement?" Qi Sansheng frowned.

"Master Marquis, Uncle Tai'an and I did not bring the red heavy artillery." Liu Zhenguo spoke slowly.

"What!" Qi Sansheng opened his mouth wide with disbelief on his face.

"Marquis of Xianning." Dou Mingming, a high-ranking Qin general, was a close confidant of Li Dingguo and directly addressed Qi Sansheng's title:

"The red cannon is huge and difficult to transport. Before Gao Lingbo and I set out, the red cannon was still stranded to the west of Beipanjiang. It will take some time to transport it to Anshun."

Qi Sansheng's eyes suddenly widened when he heard this, and he was speechless for a long time.

After a long time, he spoke slowly.

"No matter what, we must capture Anshun. If Anshun is in our hands, we can advance directly into Guiyang and fight the Tatars, and retreat to cover the Beipanjiang area and ensure Yunnan."

Liu Zhenguo and Dou Mingwang nodded solemnly.

Anshun is the choke point between Yunnan and Guizhou. Among Yunnan and Guizhou, whoever owns Anshun will have an extremely advantageous situation.

If the Ming army takes control of Anshun, Li Dingguo's troops will directly threaten Guiyang.

If the Qing army takes control of Anshun, it will not only cut off the road from Kunming to Guiyang.

Moreover, you can also station troops and grain in Anshun, making Anshun a base for attacking Yunnan.

With such an important location, Qi Sansheng and other generals can naturally see the advantages and disadvantages.

So no matter what, Qi Sansheng and others must seize as much as possible.

"Tomorrow morning, I will wait for [-] troops to attack Anshun together!" Dou Mingwang said seriously.

The next morning, Qi Sansheng, Di Sanpin, Li Rubi, Ta Xince, Wang Hui, Dou Mingwang, Liu Zhenguo and others will go out in person.

More than [-] Ming troops filled the mountains and plains, eyeing Anshun City.

"As the art of war has it, there are three sieges but one is missing. Today I have more than [-] soldiers and horses to attack on three sides. I will send cavalry on standby to intercept and defeat the retreating Qing army!"

"In this battle, those who advance will live! Those who retreat will die! We will not withdraw our troops until Anshun is broken!" Qi Sansheng shouted.

"Until Anshun is broken, I vow not to withdraw my troops!"

"Until Anshun is broken, I vow not to withdraw my troops!"

"Until Anshun is broken, I vow not to withdraw my troops!"

The voice of the Ming army spread to tens, tens to hundreds, and hundreds to tens of thousands.

More than [-] Ming troops shouted in unison, the sound was so powerful that the Qing troops on the city wall were frightened.

"Damn it, why haven't Hong Chengchou's reinforcements arrived yet!" Downstairs, Nan Yikui's face was extremely gloomy.Looking at the countless flags flying by the Ming army, I couldn't help but turn white.

"Sir, the distance from Guiyang to Anshun is not short. Reinforcements may take some time," the deputy general said.

"It won't take more time! When the reinforcements arrive, you can only collect the body for me!"

Nan Yikui looked at the Ming army's formation and gritted his teeth and said: "Brothers, get ready. Anshun can defend it. If you can't defend it, follow me and break out."

"I only have five thousand soldiers and horses, but I have to face so many southern barbarians. After holding on for so long, I can be considered worthy of the Qing Dynasty!"

"Master, what should we do?" the deputy general was overjoyed.

He quickly arranged for people to prepare horses and mules, and was ready to retreat at any time.

A drumbeat sounded, and the Ming army's flag waved.

Tens of thousands of troops rushed towards Anshun City like a tide.

"It's strange, Qi Sansheng's reinforcements have arrived, why doesn't the Ming army still use red-coated cannons?"

Nan Yikui was dumbfounded when he saw the Ming army soldiers attacking directly without firing.

"Master, it doesn't matter how the Nanmanzi attack the city, we will just open the bombardment." The deputy general said immediately.

"Yes, yes!" Nan Yikui said quickly: "Fire, give me a hard blast!"

With a loud bang, the red cannon on the Anshun city wall fired again.

"Kill!" Countless Ming soldiers carried ladders and pushed shield carts, braving Qing artillery fire and launched a fierce attack.

"Hit me, beat me hard!"

On the city wall, a large number of Qing army officers yelled angrily.

After the red-coated cannon opened fire, the Qing army's Fo Lang machine gun and tiger squat cannon opened fire in sequence, and finally muskets and bows and arrows were also fired at the Ming army.

"Fill in the moat!" shouted a Ming army general.

The moat that had been filled in by the Ming army with their own lives was forced by the Qing army to reopen the moat.

The Ming army once again needed to spend countless lives to fill it up.

Bang bang bang!Whoosh!
Bursts of gunshots and arrows rang out, and countless Ming troops died under Anshun City.

After countless lives were spent, the moat was once again filled in by the Ming army.

Aerial ladders once again set up the Anshun city wall.

The brutal ant siege began again.

"Throw it away to me. Anyone who doesn't throw it away will end up like this!"

On the city wall, Qing army officers continued to kill the frightened civilians.

In fear, many civilians plucked up the courage, shouted, and threw stones at the Ming army.

"Kill!" A Ming soldier climbed onto the city wall and charged into the crowd.

Soon, with the success of the Ming army, more and more Ming troops successfully ascended the city and started hand-to-hand combat with the Qing army.

The entire defense line of Anshun City is shaking.

"Damn it!" Liu Zhenguo and Dou Mingwang put down their telescopes, clenched their fists and hit the tree next to them heavily.

Although many Ming troops have now climbed onto the city wall.

But as a price, there was a terrible accumulation of dead bodies under the Anshun city wall.

"Send the order, the army continues to attack the city, don't let up!" From another place, a big flag behind Qi Sansheng was waving.

Signaling more than [-] Ming troops to fight to the death.

"Commander, it seems that Anshun can be taken." Seeing more and more Ming troops ascending the city wall, the confidant breathed a sigh of relief.

"I just don't know how many brothers will die here this time!"

Qi Sansheng also sighed after hearing this. The Ming army suffered [-] casualties in the last attack.

Among them, a large number of injured Ming soldiers fell inside the camp.

Although Anshun has been captured this time, the casualties will probably not be smaller than last time!
"Master, withdraw. The Ming army has climbed onto the city wall and we can't hold it any longer!" said the deputy general on the wall of Anshun.

Nan Yikui looked at more and more Ming soldiers on the city wall, his eyes narrowed.

Now that more and more people are entering the city from the Ming army, I have to use my old capital to block them.

I'm afraid it may not be able to block it. In that case, it's better to conserve our strength and take advantage of the situation.

"I stayed in Anshun for several days and killed more than 1000 brothers. Even if they run back to Guiyang, Hong Chengchou and Doni can't do anything to me!"

After making up his mind, Nan Yikui was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, a voice came over.

"Reinforcements are here! Reinforcements are here!"

Nan Yikui was suddenly startled and looked up.

He found that one of his cronies was running with dozens of cavalrymen, shouting at the same time.

The cronies also saw Nan Yikui and shouted hurriedly.

"Master! Admiral Li and Commander Wang's people have arrived!"

"They defeated the Nanmanzi cavalry and are now entering the city!"

"What!" Nan Yikui's eyes widened, and then his face showed ecstasy.

"Brothers, reinforcements have arrived! Kill all the Southern Barbarians for me!"

In an instant, the Qing troops on the city wall became energetic, shouting and fighting hard.

"Commander! The Tatar reinforcements have arrived. They defeated our cavalry near the east gate and have now entered the city!"

On the top of the mountain, a general rode his horse and came to report the news.

"What!" Qi Sansheng was shocked.

"Even if the Tatar reinforcements arrive, our cavalry should not be defeated so quickly!"

"Commander, the Qing cavalry is fighting in the name of Wang Fuchen! They are all good horsemen, and our cavalry is no match for them!"

Qi Sansheng took a breath, and when he heard the words Wang Fuchen, he also knew why his cavalry was defeated.

Although Wang Fuchen was capricious at this time, he was nicknamed Huo Lu Bu.

But this man's ability is also in line with his name as Lu Bu.

I remember that when he followed Jiang Quan to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry were beaten until they were howling like ghosts and wolf howls by him and his subordinates.

He repeatedly exclaimed: The kite has arrived!

The proud Manchu people were psychologically shadowed by a Han man.

Later, when the city of Datong was destroyed, the Manchu nobles cherished Wang Fuchen's talents, so they did not execute him.

When Hong Chengchou visited Huguang and organized [-] green battalion elite troops, he also named Wang Fuchen to go to Huguang to train cavalry troops.

There are very few warriors like him who can rival him in this world.

Perhaps only Sun Guozhu's top general, who resisted Kong Youde with 7000 men and almost defeated Li Dingguo's Zhang Sheng with [-] men, could he compete with Wang Fuchen in a cavalry battle, or even suppress him.
