Chapter 6
After Sun Kewang commanded his men to use gunpowder to blow up the iron cable bridge on the Beipan River, they quickly arrived at Chachengyi. At this time, even if the 14-strong army passed and gathered, only more than [-] people remained.

When Sun Kewang was given a few more days, the 10,000+ army could at least gather tens of thousands of remnants and defeated generals. Unfortunately, Jin Wang Li Dingguo led his headquarters back to Kunming to stabilize the situation in Yunnan. In the Battle of Baoning and the Battle of Changde, he lost the chain and lost two generals, Wang Fuchen and Lu Mingchen, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. However, he was evaluated by Wu Sangui as a powerful enemy he had never met in his life, but he was very old-fashioned.

Liu Wenxiu led the main force to clean up the battlefield, gathered Sun Kewang's rout troops, and directly sent Bai Wenxuan to lead five thousand cavalry with light armor to attack Sun Kewang, so that the king had no extra time to gather the large number of rout troops of the former army, so he had to take this More than 6000 remaining cavalry continued to move in.

More than 6000 soldiers of the former army left quickly after the arrival of the king Sun Kewang, passing through Guanling and Jigongbei along the way, crossing the Baishui River and entering Anzhuangwei, which is not far from Anshun where Ma Jinzhong was stationed.

"Proceed with the order to advance another fifty miles, and then the men and horses will unsaddle and let the soldiers eat dry food to die, and the horses will be fed enough fine food!"

"Yes!" The generals of the Qianqian army respectfully accepted their orders.

Sun Kewang also dismounted his war horse. Ma Jinzhong was originally a surrendered general of the Southern Ming Dynasty. In history, when the leader of the country was defeated, he took the remaining defeated generals to Anshun to call for help. Instead of accepting the invitation, he sent more than [-] troops of his own to pursue him.

As a result, Sun Guozhu, who had only a few thousand people left in the original 14 army, enjoyed another defeat, and the last few thousand loyal soldiers were dispersed again.

In fact, it is reasonable to say that thousands of elite soldiers from the Jiaqian army can completely beat Ma Jinzhong's more than [-] soldiers and horses, but they have already discarded their helmets and armor, and some soldiers even have no weapons. After a big defeat, their morale was also extremely low. Under Ma Jinzhong's surprise attack, Sun Kewang had no choice but to run back to Guiyang under the desperate cover of his trusted generals, and basically lost thousands of basic assets.

"My lord, if Ma Jinzhong turns his back on him, we will have to rush through Anshun at night."

Sun Kewang nodded and said: "I have been alone in Guizhou for many years, and I know the terrain well. First, I sent scouts to scout along the road. At night, the soldiers recovered their strength and the horses had enough horsepower. Go back to the main road and go straight to Guiyang!"

"My lord's opinion!" All the generals said one after another, flattering Sun Kewang.

Sun Kewang rode on a tall horse and looked at these loyal generals with emotion.

Both Li Dingguo's soldiers and horses, and the leader Sun Kewang's front army were both teams with a strong determination to resist the Qing Dynasty. Zhang Sheng and Zhang Hu died for Sun Kewang, but these two brothers also killed a lot of Tatars. The victory in Guilin Zhang Sheng was surrounded by Kong Youde's main force. He fought desperately, and the center blossomed. In the Battle of the Fork Road, Zhang Sheng and Zhang Hu led tens of thousands of front troops and went straight to the main force of the Eight Banners. They showed no fear and defeated the Qing army, killing two Melezhangin.

It's a pity that after the king won a small victory, he was afraid of overturning and ordered to clean up the battlefield. As a result, the Eight Banners army lost first to the commander Nikan, and then to Sun Guozhu. The army will fight again.

Now the Qing army is in mourning, and Sun Guozhu is afraid that his leading army will lose all his money. Under the counterattack, he withdrew from the battlefield anticlimactically.

The Daxi Army and the Dashun Army are the two teams with the most determined will to resist the Qing Dynasty. Even after Sun Kewang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, there were no important generals who defected in the West Camp. Although there are actually many people who are loyal to Sun Kewang, they can surrender just like the Shun Army. shave?Nothing to talk about!
Originally, the Qing court named Sun Kewang the righteous king, hoping that he would recruit a large number of soldiers and horses. As a result, Sun Guozhu directly became the second Chairman Zhang in the face of national justice, making Shunzhi and Hong Chengchou as confused as bald heads.

Even after the fall of Yunnan, the 10,000+ troops of the Xiying soldiers still insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty until the escaped emperor Yongli fled to Burma, and Li Dingguo mistakenly withdrew to western Yunnan.

In the past, the emperor abandoned the country, and the commander-in-chief Li Dingguo could not be contacted. In addition, the main communication lines in Yunnan had been occupied by the Qing army. Located in a mountainous rainforest, lacking clothing and food, a large number of soldiers died of illness and starvation. In desperation, Ma Bao, Qi Sansheng, Wang Hui and others led their troops to surrender to Wu Sangui.

Later, even Feng Shuangli, King of Hanyang at that time, and Bai Wenxuan, King of Gongchang, surrendered under the coercion of the generals. However, although these soldiers in Xiying surrendered, they surrendered to Wu but not Qing!In the change of San Francisco more than ten years later, the "remnants" of Xiying were loyal to Wu Sangui and fought against Man Qing for eight full years!

It's a pity that after Li Dingguo took over Yunnan and Guizhou, he used Sun Kewang's soldiers as Qin soldiers, and his old troops in Yunnan as Jin soldiers. The generals did not know the soldiers, and many generals who resisted the Qing Dynasty did not die on the battlefield against the Qing Dynasty, but died under the butcher knife of King Jin.

In addition, Li Dingguo also suffocatingly recalled Liu Wenxiu, who was in charge of border defense work in Guiyang, withdrew all the border troops from Huguang and Sichuan, and returned to Yunnan for reorganization, resulting in the surrender of large areas of land in Sichuan, Xiangxi, and Guizhou. , the morale of the Ming army was extremely low, and the 10,000+ army lost Yunnan without a bloody battle.

And Li Dingguo himself also lost his aura as the god of war after losing Sun Kewang's logistical and internal affairs support. Due to the mess in his internal affairs, not only Sun Kewang's 10,000+ army, but even his own troops were reduced to nothing. The King of Jin's 1-strong headquarters The elite soldiers were beaten repeatedly by Zhao Butai's more than 3 people at Shuanghekou, returning to the old days when Zhang Xianzhong's period, when his own 3000 people were beaten by He Zhen's [-] people in Hanzhong.

As night fell, more than [-] soldiers of the former army woke up from their sleep and were organized by generals at all levels in an orderly manner.

Liang Cheng reported: "My lord, according to the report from the scouts, there is no movement on the main road, maybe Ma Jinzhong hasn't heard the news of our defeat yet!"

"What happened in Anshun City?"

"In Anshun City, everything is in good order. Ma Jinzhong's troops have not moved at all. Now the city gate has been closed."

Sun Kewang's eyes narrowed, and he thought: "Historically, Sun Kewang led the defeated army to call for help. Ma Jinzhong saw that Sun Kewang was defeated before sending troops to pursue him. He did not make careful preparations in advance, otherwise he would not have let the Lord Sun escape. Now I am taking these thousands The cavalry is turning like the wind, and the news should not be as fast as my horse..."

The cavalry general Wang Dewang also said: "Your Majesty, there is no movement on the main road. The gate of Anshun City has been closed. Scouts are going back and forth on the main road in the name of the Lord. The soldiers guarding each checkpoint are still the same as before. It seems that Ma Jinzhong did not get the news." "
