The Annan soldiers climbed to the top of the city, brandished blades made of pig iron, and slashed at the Qing army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The surrounding Qing soldiers immediately surrounded them, slashed and stabbed their guns, and overturned the Annan soldiers who climbed up to the top of the city. However, the Annan soldiers in the back climbed to the top of the city and started a bloody battle with the Qing soldiers.

The Annan soldiers fought very hard, and the team did not collapse until more than half of the casualties were killed, even if all the ladders were knocked down, the Annan soldiers who climbed to the top of the city had no backup, and no one surrendered, everyone fought to the death, not retreating, until all died in the head of Nanning.

Why are Annan soldiers so brave? Because the men of Annan were originally warriors who could fight well. On weekdays, Annam men are lazy, lazy to eat, work outside to make money, and those who do housework at home are women, and Annam men rely on women to support. But on the battlefield, Annan's men were not afraid of death and dared to fight to the end. It seems that the purpose of the Annam man to come to this world is to exist for the sake of war.

The various enterprises set up by the Nanyang Company in Annam have enabled women from Annam to go to work in the enterprises, which has greatly improved the living conditions of the people of Annam.

After the Annan people joined the Ming army, they were brainwashed and educated: the happy life of the people of Annam today is brought by the Ming army, if the northern Tartars go south and invade Annam, can you Annan men still sit at home to make tea, smoke, and enjoy a worry-free life of food and clothing every day? That's impossible!

After that, the instructors of the army will ask: "The Tartars want to deprive you of your good life today, will you agree?" ”

"No!" All the Annan soldiers roared in unison.

Through the means of economic aggression, the Nanyang Company is gradually turning Annam into its own production base of grain, coal, and iron ore, and turning the people of Annam into a source of soldiers.

These Annanites went to the battlefield, one by one, and fought bravely.

One ladder fell, and another ladder was built on the city wall. The Annan soldiers shouted and rushed to the top of the city.

Under the desperate charge of the Annan people, the Qing army in Nanning City finally could not resist.

"The city is broken! The city is broken! There was a thunderous shout from the city.

The green flag representing the green battalion Qing army was torn off, slowly falling from the city tower to the ground, turning into trampled garbage, and a bright red Ming army battle flag rose on the city tower, fluttering in the evening breeze.

The city gate was wide open, and outside the city, Bai Wenxuan led the cavalry and rushed into the city.

On the other city towers and bell and drum towers in Nanning City, red lanterns are hung on behalf of the danger. The Qing prefect and garrison commanded the remnants of the Qing army, desperately launching a counterattack in an attempt to recapture the lost positions. But everything was in vain, and after three counterattacks, they were all beaten back by the Ming army, and the morale of the Qing army in the city completely collapsed.

The garrison was killed, the prefect committed suicide, and the city of Nanning fell into the hands of the Ming army.

Guilin, Guangxi Governor's Mansion, Guangxi Governor Ma Xiongzhen walked into the Governor's Mansion.

"Master Ma!" Hearing that the governor had come to visit, the bedridden Lian Guoan struggled to sit up.

"General Lines! Lie down! Ma Xiongzhen hurriedly stepped forward to support Lian Guoan.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Ma Xiongzhen began to complain: "General Lian, the thieves sneaked into Zhennanguan and entered Guangxi, Nanning's troops are weak, I'm afraid I can't hold Nanning!" Although Guilin has 10,000 elite soldiers, but the good generals have been taken to Guangdong, General Lin, you are sick in bed, unable to deal with military affairs, if thieves come to fight Guilin, how can this be good? ”

Lian Guoan said: "Master Ma doesn't need to panic, the people of Guangxi are extremely strong, and Lord Ma can recruit local people to be soldiers." Tens of thousands of elite soldiers can be recruited from the area of Guixi! As for the salary, Master Ma temporarily allocated all the income of Guangxi to the military salary, and then reported it to the imperial court, and Guangxi will not be able to pay taxes this year. ”

"That's all there is to it!" Ma Xiongzhen said with a wry smile.

"The old man will let the dog help Ma-sama!" Lian Guoan slowly closed his eyes again.

Lian Chengren said: "Master Ma, please!" The last general will recruit soldiers and horses together with the adults, and will never let the thieves invade Guilin! ”

Ma Xiong Zhen and Lian Chengren began to recruit troops in the areas of Qingyuan, Nandan, Guishun, Liuzhou and Yizhou. The terrain of western Guangxi is complex, mountainous and hilly, and the local people in western Guizhou are extremely tough, and there is a famous saying of Guangxi wolf soldiers. There are many soldiers who are local Tusi native soldiers, and they do not belong to the establishment of the Qing court's green battalion, nor do they belong to the local training and people's strength, so these soldiers have not been registered by the Qing court in the Qing army's military registration, and they do not belong to one of the more than 500,000 Qing troops, and they are supernumerary soldiers.

But don't underestimate this supernumerary soldier, the Guangxi wolf soldier, also known as the wolf soil soldier, is extremely strong. During the Ming Dynasty, the wolf soldiers once fought against the Japanese and suppressed the local Yao uprising, and made great achievements. After Chongzhen's death, Li Dingguo also recruited wolf soldiers in Guangxi. After Li Dingguo was defeated and retreated to Yungui, the Tusi of Guangxi could only be loyal to the Qing court. However, Guangxi Tusi and the Qing court looked inseparable, and it seemed that they were not very willing to help the Qing court.

What's more, Yungui Tusi repeatedly opposed the Qing Dynasty and was suppressed by Wu Sangui again and again.

Influenced by the Yungui Tusi, the Guangxi Tusi was even more reluctant to help the Qing court, and since then the Guangxi wolf soldiers have become the personal soldiers of the local Tusi.

In real history, it was not until the outbreak of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at the end of the Qing Dynasty that the combat effectiveness of the wolf soldiers in Guangxi broke out again. In the warlord melee after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Gui army was the most capable of fighting in the warlord army, and it was the fierce Guangxi soldiers that made Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi have the strength to fight against peanuts.

In this era, although it is impossible to pull out 200,000 Gui troops like later generations, if you let go of your hand to recruit, it is not a problem to recruit 100,000 wolf soldiers.

Cen Shizhong, after Mrs. Tianzhou Washi, Tianzhou Tusi has an extremely wide jurisdiction, and Tianzhou, Guishun, Nandan and other places are the territory of their Cen family. But compared with more than 100 years ago, the Cen family no longer has the scenery of the past, and because the descendants have divided the family, the number of local soldiers allocated to each family is limited. The big toast was only four or five hundred native soldiers.

However, the Cen family has practiced martial arts for generations, and the brothers of the Cen family are strong in martial arts, and they have not diminished at all.

Cen Shizhong lives in a small mountain town, and as a local toastman, he has thousands of acres of farmland and more than 200 local soldiers. In fact, these native soldiers, who did not belong to the imperial army, were peasants on weekdays, and soldiers when they were fighting.

Although they no longer fight for the imperial court, the habits of Guangxi people practicing martial arts have not changed. In the morning, as soon as the day dawned, more than 200 native soldiers gathered on the school ground, shouting loudly, and conducting drills in arranging troops. These local native soldiers, who usually farm the land and carry weapons as soldiers, are very strong in combat and do not lose to the regular army at all.

In fact, the native soldiers are even more powerful than the regular army! Each native soldier is very brave, and when fighting, he can treat death as if he were at home, and even if he loses more than half of his life, the formation will not collapse. For example, the white pole soldiers, who also belonged to the native soldiers, fought to the death in the face of the many more Eight Banner soldiers in the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, and the Houjin army, which could not be attacked for a long time, had to transfer traitor troops and bombard them with artillery, and finally more than 2,000 white pole soldiers were killed.

"Conscription! Imperial conscription! Haikou and the Annam invaded my Guangxi! The imperial court is short of troops, and recruits native soldiers to fight for the country! Expel the pirates and the Annamite people! "There was the sound of gongs and drums outside the town.

"The Tartar court has come to recruit soldiers?" Cen Shizhong's eyebrows raised.

Clan brother Cen Shipei said: "It seems that the Tartars have lost the battle, right?" I hope that Li Dashuai can take Wang Shi back to Guangxi! ”

The Cen family was once loyal to Li Dingguo, and a large number of Guangxi children joined Li Dingguo's army without hesitation, and defeated the Qing army many times. Later, because of Li Dingguo's defeat in the Battle of Xinhui, he finally lost Guangxi and retreated to Yungui. Although the Tusi of the Cen family were forced to be loyal to the imperial court, they were in Cao Ying's heart and in Han.

Outside the town, Xuanyi stood outside the town with hundreds of Qing soldiers, one Qing soldier beat gongs and drums, and several Qing soldiers raised their voices and shouted, asking the Cen family to contribute to the country.

Cen Shizhong asked people to reply to the Qing army.

A native soldier stood on the wall of the town and shouted to the Qing army: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have been fighting in Guangxi for so many years, and the common people don't want to fight, they just want to live in peace!" If you want to recruit soldiers, please ask your adults to be smart! We will not come out to fight. ”

Xuan Yi glanced at a Qian general manager on the side: "Lu Qianzong, these barbarians are unwilling to contribute to the country, in Lu Qian's opinion, what should we do?" ”

Mr. Lu Qian arched his hand and said, "General! Before my Wang Shi came to Guangxi, these barbarians were hypocritical! At that time, they followed the puppet king of Jin and killed how many of our brothers? After our Wang division took Guangxi, they refused to be soldiers again! Since these barbarians are unwilling to contribute to the country, we should capture the stockade and kill a few leaders, and the rest of the barbarians still don't listen to us honestly? ”

Xuan Xuanyi nodded and said, "Okay!" Then give the order to go down and prepare to attack the village! ”

On the wall, Cen Shipei saw that the Qing army had set up an offensive formation, and hurriedly reported to Cen Shizhong: "Big brother, it seems that the Tartars have failed to recruit troops, and they want to come hard!" ”

Cen Shizhong sneered: "The Tartars hurriedly came to recruit troops, they must have suffered a big defeat!" In my opinion, it is estimated that the king of Jin is about to return! Since the Tartars are going to attack the stockade, then order the brethren to meet it! It is impossible for the Tartars to besiege us for a long time! If they attack with all their might, I'm afraid that Guilin City will be defended by no one! ”

In the town, two hundred wolf soldiers put on wooden armor and wooden shoes, picked up hook and sickle guns, bows and crossbows, and formed a formation on the wall, ready for battle.

The main melee weapon of the wolf soldier is the hook and sickle, and the long-range weapons include the bow and crossbow and the bird gun, among which the crossbow arrows are coated with poison, and the arrows coated with arrow poison wood can be said to be bloody and seal the throat. The wolf soldiers' wooden armor is made of local sturdy ironwood, and these wooden helmets are not inferior to cotton armor and iron armor.

"Attack the village!" Xuanyi roared.

More than 100 Qing soldiers who served as the front line of the first round of attacks held shields and rushed towards the stockade with shouts. More than 100 auxiliaries behind carried improvised ladders and charged with swords and shields. At the end, more than 100 Qing archers approached the wall.

"Put!" Cen Shizhong roared.

Dense feather arrows were shot on the wall, and the feather arrows smeared with arrow poison wood and poison pierced into the crowd of Qing troops.

The Qing soldiers were shielded with shields, but arrows still penetrated through the gaps and pierced into the faces, arms, and calves of the Qing soldiers who were not protected by armor. The arrows smeared with poison almost sealed their throats with blood, and the Qing soldiers who were hit by the arrows only felt that the part of the arrows was numb first, and then a sharp pain came, and in a short period of time, their faces turned black and they fell to the ground and died.

After all, it was just a very ordinary earthen wall, which could not stop the charge of the Qing army.

The Qing army soon put the simple ladder on the wall, the Qing archers in the back shot arrows to cover, and the Qing soldiers in front held shields, biting short knives in their mouths, and began to climb along the ladders to the wall.

The walled wall is a mud city made of mud, with a wooden fence inserted on it as a female wall, the walled wall is not very high, but the rolling wood and stone thrown from above still make the Qing army suffer a lot of losses.

Between the wooden fences, from time to time, someone stretched out a hook and sickle, either piercing the body of the Qing soldiers, or pushing down the ladder.

Finally, a Qing soldier climbed the wall, but before he could gain a firm foothold, more than a dozen hook and sickle spears beckoned, and the Qing soldier who had just landed was stabbed into a hornet's nest in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that the attack failed and the Qing army suffered heavy losses under the wall, Xuanyi was very unwilling to give an order: "Mingjin withdraws the troops!" Wait until the artillery of the middle battalion is pulled over and come back to attack! ”

Thousands of miles away, Anqing.

Ao Bai was looking at the 800-mile urgent war report sent from Guangdong and Guangxi. In recent times, all the news has been bad.

Fujian and Guangdong had already fallen into the hands of the Ming army, and the Qing court lost 150,000 soldiers in these two provinces. At that time, the Qing court had only more than 500,000 soldiers in the whole country, plus the tens of thousands of horses lost in Zhejiang, and the Qing army had already lost a small half. At present, there are Qing troops left in the country that can be used to deal with the Ming army, including the 5,008 banners and more than 10,000 green battalions in Anqing, the new army of the Huguang Green Battalion established by Zhou Peigong of more than 50,000 people, the green battalion soldiers stationed in Hunan and Hubei more than 10,000, the Guangxi Green Battalion of more than 10,000 people, the Jiangning Eight Banners of 3,000, the green battalion of 10,000, the Shaanxi Eight Banners of 5,000, the Ganshan Green Battalion of 50,000, the Beijing Eight Banners of 30,000, and the Zhili Green Battalion of 50,000.

In addition, the strength of the Qing army is still 15,000 of the Eight Banners outside the Guan, and those Eight Banners are stationed in the Longxing Land of the Qing Court outside the Guan, whether it is Xiaozhuang or Aobai, they are unwilling to move the Eight Banners outside the Guan; The last Qing army was the 5,000-8 Banners of Yunnan and the 100,000-strong Yunnan-Guilu Battalion.

It seems that there are many elite soldiers and generals in Yunnan, but the Yunnan-Guizhou Qing army is an unreliable factor in the eyes of Xiaozhuang, who is Wu Sangui? The Qing court never trusted Wu Sangui. There are more than 100,000 Qing troops in Yungui and may rebel at any time.

Ao Bai knew very well that as long as Huguang was lost, once the connection between the Yunnan-Guizhou Qing army and the imperial court was broken, Wu Sangui would rebel.

"The thieves have taken Guangdong; Bai Shun also took advantage of the fire to rob and invade Guangxi! Guangdong failed miserably, and it is estimated that Guangxi will be difficult to hold! I'm afraid that those toasts who don't accept the king will also take the opportunity to turn back! Ao Bai looked at the battle report and said bitterly.

"Xiangye!" Bambur said, "We should send more troops to Huguang!" If the battle in Huguang is lost, I am afraid that Wu Sangui, the guy at both ends of the first rat, will also take the opportunity to rebel! ”

Ao Bai sneered: "If Wu Sangui is reversed, then kill his son!" (To be continued.) )
