Outside the city of Guangxi, the cannon roared, shouting to kill the sky.
More than 4,000 Han troops under the Qing Guangxi Governor's Line, and more than 5,000 troops from the Green Battalion, the Fourth General Army Department and the Guizhou Ming Army were attacking the southern gate of Kunming and Guangxi City.
This Guangxi Province and Guangxi Province have the same name, but they are a government and a province.
Guangxi Mansion was Guangxi Road in the Yuan Dynasty, and Guangxi Mansion was changed to Guangxi Mansion in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, and it was subordinate to Yunnan Chengxuan Political Envoy Division.
The government has jurisdiction over three states, which are divided into Shizong Prefecture, Maitreya Prefecture, and Vimo Prefecture, and there is a pinching of the Patrol Division.
Shizong Prefecture, where the capital city of Guangxi is located, is located one hundred and twenty miles south of Kunming, and is the gateway to the south of Kunming.
If the Guangxi Mansion is lost, there is no danger south of Kunming that the pass can stop the Qing army, so the Guangxi Ming army desperately resisted the Qing army in order to protect the safety of the imperial court and the Son of Heaven, so that the Ministry of State Security of the line has stayed under the city of Guangxi for four days.
According to the battle plan formulated by the original Yang Laobao military meeting, the Ministry of State Security should appear in the south of Kunming at this moment, and jointly launch an attack on Kunming after meeting with the Manchu soldiers led by Zhao Butai, Wang Doni of Xinjun, Luo Tuo and other Qing troops.
Obviously, the progress of the Ministry of State Security was later than originally planned, and this cannot be blamed on the State Security of the Line, but the resistance of the Ming Army in Guangxi was too stubborn.
For several days, the line Guoan has been urging all departments to take turns to attack the city.
He built a large camp outside the city, ordered all the troops to besiege the city and set up camp, and surrounded the city of Guangxi to the point where the water was impassable.
Today, the general army of the left wing was ordered to supervise the surrender of troops in Guizhou to attack the city again.
Less than half an hour after the battle began, hundreds of brave soldiers selected from the Guizhou surrender took the lead in climbing the top of the city of Guangxi after paying half of the casualties, and they pulled out the banner of the Ming army in the city, causing the Qing army under the city to cheer.
The whole festival laughed loudly, thinking that there was hope of taking the city.
Not wanting to be the defender of the Ming army in the city, Qi Datong, the chief military officer under the command of Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, immediately personally led his subordinates to counterattack after discovering that the Qing army had climbed the city.
In his early years, Qi Datong accompanied the old emperor Zhang Xianzhong of Daxi to fight in the south and the north, and after entering Yunnan with the four kings, he participated in all the wars against the Qing Dynasty, and was brave and invincible.
Under his vigorous counterattack, the Qing army that climbed the city immediately did not support, and was cut down under the counterattack of the Ming army that was then reinforced, and the rest was either jumped down to the city by himself, or he was lucky to escape down the city ladder before the Ming army killed.
After the Ming army held this gap, while throwing wood, earth and stones, and lime from the city, they took a fork pole to push the ladder erected on the city wall.
The Qing soldiers who could not avoid the city could only be forced to fall from the sky next to the heavy objects, or were smashed by the sandalwood, were killed by stones, or were blinded by lime, and countless fell from the ladder.
In an instant, there was a wail under the city, and there were many dead and wounded.
Seeing that the Ming army counterattacked successfully, the Guizhou soldiers in front of them could not climb up again, and the morale of the army was also very low, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
After hearing the order to withdraw the troops, the Guizhou soldiers ran back desperately from under the city wall like rabbits.
Only a few of the wounded Qing soldiers were able to run back on their own, and most of them could only lie under the city walls and scream.
After paying more than 1,000 heavy casualties, the Ming army finally beat back the fifth attack of the Qing army.
The failure of another siege made the generals of the Qing army a little disappointed and discouraged, and they shook their heads as they looked at the retreating Quan Jie.
The whole section didn't care, the casualties on the left and right were those Ming troops who surrendered in Guizhou, and there were no casualties at all in his lineage, so he was willing to fight this kind of battle, and it was good to win, but it didn't matter if he lost.
After a few days of attack, the Ming army in Guangxi City has also reached the limit, and today's Guizhou surrender to Pancheng almost succeeded in proving that the Ming army in the city does not have much strength, so the whole section believes that if it is attacked twice, Guangxi City will definitely fall into the hands of the Qing Dynasty, so there is no need to be depressed for a defeat.
However, after coming to the front of the line Guoan, Quan Jie still pleaded loudly: "Admiral, the last general is incompetent, and this siege has been defeated again."
Line Guoan nodded slightly, but he didn't say anything about the whole section, but continued to watch the attacking soldiers and horses retreat from the city wall with a clairvoyant mirror, and there was no anger at all about the failure of the siege on his face, but he was very calm, and even had a smile on the corner of his mouth, which made the whole section feel relieved, knowing that Line Guoan would not punish him for anything.
After looking at it for a while, Line Guoan put down the clairvoyant mirror, and said to the whole section, but also to the generals: "If you lose, you will be defeated, nothing is tight, it is just a small setback, can you still catch up with the old prince in Guilin, the battle is not you, it is a desire to win, the victory and defeat are too important, you must know that victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, which general in this world is only to win the battle, and those who do not defeat the battle are seen to see it, the governor looks carefully, the Ming army in the city is already the end of the strong crossbow, and the whole army will attack again tomorrow, this city will eventually be broken." ” The coach's words naturally made the disappointed generals re-energetic, and the atmosphere also changed, and it was very active.
Quan Jie glanced at Guangxi City, but said: "Actually, it's not a bad thing for us to progress slowly, otherwise how would the court know that our hard work would really be smooth sailing, and we would go all the way to Kunming. ” "Yes, I agree with this, it is not our turn to be the first merit of Pingdian, let's delay in this Guangxi city for two more days, there are Zhu Ming court and the emperor in Kunming, Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan They will inevitably defend to the death, and it must be a bad battle to fight, so let's not rush to be cannon fodder, and when those few can't gnaw on, let's go again, it seems that we can fight the feudal domain."
The speaker was Wang Enzeng, who was born in Dingfan and is now the chief soldier of Guilin.
Most of the people standing here are generals from the Dingnan Domain, and those who are not from the Dingnan Domain are also the descendants of the line Guoan, and there are no Manchu nobles among them, so the generals speak a little presumptuously.
Line Guoan nodded slightly, Wang En once said well, it is not a good thing that the progress is too smooth, at present, all the armies are rushing to attack Kunming together, and the Ming army will definitely not let their court and emperor fall into the hands of the Qing army, and they will inevitably defend Kunming to the death.
Among the soldiers and horses, only his line Guoan and Wu Sangui's subordinates are Han troops, but Wu Sangui is the king of Pingxi, so eighty percent of the Manchurians will let him line Guoan be the siege cannon fodder, so going to Kunming late is actually not a bad thing, at least not to be reduced to the end of desperately losing but making wedding dresses for others.
He was about to instruct the generals to follow him to the big tent to discuss the siege of the city tomorrow, but his own soldiers came to report that it was the governor of Guangxi, Chen Weixin, who had sent an urgent report of 800 miles. oshow7 t1706231537:
