The Daxi Army's revenge on the chieftains was ruthless.
Zhang Dingguo issued a strict order, tooth for tooth, eye for eye, no mercy.
He wanted these arrogant chieftains to lower their unruly heads, understand dignity and respect, abide by the rules, and understand who is the master of Sichuan.
Although the chieftain's mountain stronghold was defensive to a certain extent, it was obviously unable to withstand the massive siege by the Western Army.
Taken individually, all the chieftains from each family were far from rivals of the Daxi Army, and Zhang Dingguo was able to defeat them one by one.
After venting their anger, the Daxi Army continued to march towards Chengdu.
After this incident, I believe these chieftains no longer dare to do anything secretly.
However, the Daxi Army encountered trouble when passing through a swamp.
Many horses got stuck directly.
Some soldiers tried desperately to pull the horses out, but not only failed, they also got stuck themselves.
Zhang Dingguo's face turned red as he watched the horses and soldiers struggle to sink into the mud, leaving only a few bubbles in the end.
He had never encountered such an incident before and didn't know how to deal with it.
He had no idea how wide and wide the swamp was.
At a glance, it is no different from ordinary land, but if you step on it, you will be undone.
This swamp was like a roadblock in the middle, blocking the way of the Great Western Army.
Damn it Zhang Dingguo cursed secretly in his heart.
In any case, he did not dare to continue to risk wading through this quagmire.
Regardless of soldiers, war horses are extremely important, and Zhang Dingguo's heart is twisted every time he falls into one.
It is unrealistic to temporarily build boats, not to mention that there is not so much wood for Zhang Dingguo to build boats.
Even if he does build enough boats, they may not be able to row in the mire.
In desperation, Zhang Dingguo had no choice but to send out cavalry to conduct reconnaissance to see if there was any possibility of a detour.
It's just that time will be delayed.
However, there is nothing we can do about this, and I believe Chengdu can understand it.
The Ming army led by Wen Anzhi has entered Baoning.
Everywhere you look is a mess.
Both the city and the cottages showed obvious signs of looting.
Most of the houses had been burned, leaving a pile of broken walls and ruins.
Wen Anzhi couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
After Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, although the people lived a very hard life, they were not unable to survive.
But when Donglu comes, it will be really fatal.
Alas, I don’t know where Donglu is now.
No matter what, Wen Anzhi decided to march according to the original plan.
They brought enough food and grass and didn't have to worry about not having enough food.
Generals such as Yuan Zongdi and Liu Fangliang were very experienced in combat.
They suggested that Wen Anzhi keep marching at a relatively moderate speed so that the soldiers would neither feel too tired nor slack off.
As for setting up camp, it’s even more particular.
First of all, you can't camp on the top of the mountain.
In this way, once the enemy discovers and sets fire to the mountain, it will be impossible for the soldiers on the top of the mountain to escape.
Secondly, it is best not to camp close to the river.
Water sources are important, but they can lead to many emergencies.
You can camp a little further away from the water source.
Another thing is not to camp in the valley.
This is especially obvious in Sichuan.
There are many valleys in Sichuan.
Some generals thought it was comfortable to camp here, but they did not know that they might be ambushed.

Wen Anzhi had only seen a few words about these in military books before, but now he had a different feeling when he heard them spoken by the generals themselves.
Including when to start and when to stop, when to bury the pot and make rice, it is all a science.
It's not easy to lead good soldiers.
Of course Wen Anzhi didn't feel any regret.
On the contrary, he felt that it was more practical to come to Sichuan and do something than to stay in the capital and be a minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Before he came to Sichuan, the Ming army could only take a defensive position, and it was very likely that they would not be able to hold it.
However, the situation has been improving since he led the army into Sichuan, and now the Ming army can take the initiative to attack.
Wen Anzhi knew very well that reviving the Ming Dynasty was not a matter for the Holy Emperor alone.
Even though His Majesty the Emperor is a sage, it is impossible for him to do everything himself.
A minister must step forward to share the burden for him.
And ZTE Daming cannot be successful by just talking and cheering.
It must do something down-to-earth.
Although today's young people have a heart to serve the country, few can calm down and do things seriously.
Maybe they can still make a difference while the enthusiasm is still there, but once the enthusiasm wears off, all that's left is chicken feathers.
So Wen Anzhi was willing to stand up and set an example to teach them what to do.
He came when Sichuan was at its most chaotic, just so that young people could better see how to bring order to the chaos.
Although Wen Anzhi is old, he is still full of energy when doing things, as if he has endless strength.
Tian Jianxiu and others admired him very much, but also felt a little distressed.
They often advised Wen Anzhi to pay more attention to rest and not to do everything by himself.
But Wen Anzhi shook his head and told them that if a commander wants to lead his troops well, he must constantly understand and learn.
Your talent may not be enough but you must be diligent.
Otherwise, there will be a situation where the general does not know the soldiers and the soldiers do not know the general.
This situation was very common in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and Wen Anzhi certainly did not want to make the same mistake again.
There are many accumulated shortcomings in the Ming Dynasty.
If I take everything for granted and I don’t try to change it, even if I don’t try to change it, then it will be hard to get rid of it.
If you want to revive, you must have the courage to change and face your mistakes.
Therefore, when commanding the army, Wen Anzhi did not regard himself as a governor of a province or an important minister of the court, but as a simple ordinary person.
You will still make mistakes, you will still learn, you will still change.
In his eyes, personal prestige is not the most important.
Only by having the courage to face mistakes can we make better improvements.
It can be said that Wen Anzhi won the support of the generals not because he was the governor of Sichuan appointed by the imperial court, but because of his personal charm.
This is why Wen Anzhi originally said he was going to fight in Chengdu, but everyone agreed without saying a word.
But he said that the army was just preparing to break camp that day, and the scouts suddenly reported that they had captured a spy from Donglu.
Wen Anzhi couldn't help but feel refreshed.
Now we have left Baonyeong and entered Chengdu Prefecture.
The discovery of Donglu's spies at this location indicates that Donglu's army should be in Chengdu.
It seems that Donglu really wants to take Chengdu directly.
Wen Anzhi decided to interrogate the Donglu spy personally.
Since the Ming army wants to take Chengdu, the timing of its appearance must be good.
It is best to wait until the Western bandits and the Eastern captives are fighting fiercely and both sides will suffer, before suddenly attacking.
To do this, one must know Donglu's movements thoroughly.
Needless to say, the Western thieves must be mainly defensive.
Donglu was the party that launched the attack.
As long as the Ming army grasped the opportunity for their attack, they would be able to appear at the most appropriate time
