Seeing that the officers and soldiers under his command were so eager to fight, Zhu Xieyuan was also very happy in his heart.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhu Xieyuan left Shi Yongan, who had just arrived, to garrison Dafang with An Long, and continued to transport food, ordnance, ammunition and materials for the army, and then under the followers of Liu Zhaoji, Mo and Jing, followed by Xu Chengming's Guizhou soldiers, and marched north.

Unlike Luo Ganxiang, Mo Keji, Wei Ang and others, who almost left behind all their baggage and rushed forward lightly, no matter how anxious the Zuo Governor Mo De and the mastermind Zhou Shiru were, the military and civilian teams under An Bangyan still couldn't get up as planned.

For the reluctant evacuation of Mu Oge, the noble children of the Shuixi clan are unwilling to leave anything, and they are not willing to settle for anything, even if they are traveling on their shoulders, every twenty or thirty miles they walk, they have to stop to eat and rest.

An Bangyan, who had been sleepless for several days and nights in the past, now he doesn't know whether he is full of ambition or lack of energy, and on the way to lead the army to evacuate, his pomp and circumstance of the king of Luodian are not reduced at all.

Whether it is a march on a mountain road, or a stay in the wilderness, or eating and eating, or even including the performance of subordinates, it must be carried out in accordance with the rules and etiquette of the Luodian Palace.

In this way, the speed of the march is not ordinarily slow.

It set out at noon on the 23rd, and at noon on the 24th, a day and a half passed, and the mighty team under An Bangyan marched fifty miles north as a whole.

Although the front army had reached the grape well seventy miles north of Dafang, the rear team was still stranded at Daxikou, fifty miles north of Dafang.

A team of 20,000 or 30,000 people stretched for 20 miles on the mountain road that winded through the mountains and mountains in the northern district.

As the saying goes, you can live if you do evil in heaven, but you can't live if you do it yourself.

On the evening of June 24, under the repeated urging of Mo De, the governor of Anbangyan's Zuodu, the rear team carrying a large amount of baggage and supplies finally continued to march 20 miles of mountain road and arrived at the grape well.

Zuodu Maude knew that there was a mountain road leading to Shaxiba, and he was afraid of a sudden attack by the officers and troops from Zunyi in the direction of the Hongtu River in Shaxiba, so he was reluctant to camp here for the night.

However, An Guozhen, the oldest elder of the Shuixian clan, had to stay overnight in the grape well.

This is a key point between Dafang and Chishui, there are large Yi villages to settle in, there is a stable and comfortable Yi manor to stay, there is no need to stay overnight in the barren mountains and mountains.

An Guozhen is nearly seventy years old, and is the only one left in the lineage of the Shuixian clan, the uncle of An Bangyan, the uncle of An Wei, and the brother of An Guoheng, the father of the previous Xuan Yaochen.

An Yaochen inherited the throne of his elder brother An Jiangchen, and the father of the two was named An Guoheng, who was also a controversial figure in the history of the Shuixian clan.

An Guoheng and An Guozhen did not deal with each other because their fathers had competed for the position of Guizhou Xuanzhi of the Shuixi clan, so they were not very satisfied with An Guoheng's descendant hereditary Guizhou Xuanxuan.

Therefore, among the relatives and nobles of the Shuixi clan, he has always adopted a supportive attitude towards An Bangyan's seizure of power.

It is also for this reason that An Bangyan has great respect for this elder-like figure in the clan.

This also caused Zuodu Du Mo De to have no way to deal with such a big man in the Shuixian family.

An Guozhen is old and in poor health, so she wants to stay in the grape well to rest overnight, and Zuodu Governor Maude can't persuade her.

And there is another reason, which the Governor of the Left Governor Maud simply cannot refuse.

Because from June 24th, three consecutive days are the most important festival in the tradition of the Yi people in Shuixi, the Torch Festival, and the nobles of the Shuixi clan who followed the north to the north, as well as some local officials, are unwilling to work the first night of the Torch Festival.

Therefore, in desperation, although Maud knew that it was very inappropriate to do so, it was not good to offend the anger of the public, so he luckily agreed to stay in the grape well for the night with tens of thousands of horses.

As a result, I was really afraid of what would come.

When Zuodu Governor Mo Debi respectfully sent An Guozhen, the old man of the An family, to a large compound in the Yi village of Grape Well to rest, and was about to return to the team, he ordered the brigade to set up camp when he suddenly heard several cannons from the east.

In the crossing, which had not yet had time to be occupied by troops, a large number of Yi soldiers suddenly poured out, wielding rattan machetes in their hands, and rushed towards the team under Maude's command.

These Yi soldiers poured out of the crossing like a tidal wave, and shouted loudly: "Kill An Bangyan!" Go and grab Muog! ”

The person who came was Luo Longzuo, the eldest son of Shaxi Luo's Tusi Luo Jiuzhong, and his fierce general Ao Kun!

Let's say that after the battle of Hongtuchuan, Wu Zhiwang and Qin Liangyu all wanted to take advantage of the victory to march westward, but before the whole army was ambushed in the mountains and forests for several days, they were all raw and cold, and it rained for a few days, and all the soldiers were exhausted.

Including Wu Zhiwang, the civilian commander who led the troops, was also tired and sick this time, and he had a high fever and was bedridden.

As a result, the army naturally could not take advantage of the victory to advance westward, so it had to be stationed in the area of Hongtuchuan, and Wu Zhiwang also lived in the nearby Yi village and recuperated for more than half a month.

Until the beginning of June, Wu Zhiwang, who had lost a lot of weight, finally carried the catastrophe that he had not carried in history.

Not only did he cure his own illness, but also used his profound knowledge of pharmacology to collect a large number of Chinese herbs such as Artemisia annua, Gastrodia, wild tea, and Zhidang, which are special products in the area of Hongtuchuan, and boiled the soup one by one, and actually cured a large number of soldiers under his command who were infected with wind cold and malaria.

In mid-June, while Wu Zhiwang was in good health, he received the news that Zhu Xieyuan had taken Shuixi City, and knew that he had to go west to share the pressure for Zhu Xieyuan, and he could no longer stay in the Hongtuchuan area.

On 14 June, Wu Zhiwang sent the Shaxi Luo Yi soldiers, who were less troubled by injuries and were familiar with the geography of the mountain roads, as the vanguard to explore and advance westward.

The distance between the Hongtu River is generous, and the straight line is more than 100 miles, but the Shuixi area of this era, especially the Shuixi area far away from the post road, is difficult to travel, far above the Shu Road.

Except for the Longchang Nine Stations, and the branch line that can be regarded as the Longchang Nine Stations, that is, the post road from Dafang to Chishui, there are basically no proper roads in other places.

Ten days later, on the morning of June 24, the sentinels sent by Luo Longzuo and Ao Kun to the west found a large number of troops led by An Bangyan in the area of Grape Well, waving the banner of the King of Luodian, and set up camp north from Grape Well.

After the sentry passed the news to the rear, Wu Zhiwang knew that the enemy was bright and dark, and it was a great opportunity to ambush, no matter who the current King of Luodian was, whether An Bangyan was in this team or not, and destroying this team was definitely another great achievement.

Therefore, Wu Zhiwang immediately ordered to throw away the large and small artillery that he had worked so hard to carry along the way, and the whole army pursued lightly, hoping to fight another beautiful ambush in the area of Grape Well.

However, although the mountain road of dozens of miles is not far, the mountain is high and the forest is dense, and the road is narrow, and many soldiers are weak after illness, and they only rush to the vicinity of the grape well in the afternoon.

Then he sent a sentinel to reconnoitre, but found that the legendary team with the banner of the king of Luodian had already left the grape well.

The disappointed Wu Zhiwang knew that his army was more than capable of strength, so he had to temporarily stay in a valley east of the grape well to rest.

At the same time, the sentinel went around, to the west, to the north, and to the south, looking for the team with the banner of the king of Luodian.

Unexpectedly, in the evening, there was a huge team that came to the grape well under the banner of the Shuixian clan.

Although Wu Zhiwang didn't know where Zhu Xieyuan took Guiyang's officers and troops to, he knew that these teams from Dafang were carrying so many chariots and horses to the north, so there must have been a major change in the Dafang area.

This time, Wu Zhiwang did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the whole army to set up camp and march westward, with the Shaxi Luo clan Yi soldiers as the vanguard, and launched an attack on this huge and complex team that had just entered the grape well area and had not yet gained a firm foothold.

The almost defenseless brigade belonging to An Bangyan's rear army became chaotic when the people were sleepy and the horses were almost defenseless.

Moreover, this is a team mainly composed of the Shuixi clan and the families of the Tumu Tumu Tuguan who live in Muogshan City, although their slave and servant team has a certain combat effectiveness, but when they are suddenly attacked, they do not have much combat experience and will to fight.

After all, if An Bangyan, the former Xuanwei Division, could have committed rebellion, imprisoned his own monarch and throne, killed his mother and uncle of the lord monarch, and established himself as the king of Luodian, then why couldn't they, the slaves of the Tusi head, follow suit and change their status?

It can be said that this is a problem that all rebellious thieves must face.

You can rebel against your lord by being unfaithful and unrighteous, so why can't I, as your subordinate, rebel against you by being unfaithful and unjust?

Therefore, as soon as the Yi soldiers of the Shaxi Luo clan rushed into the Shuixian clan's military and civilian contingent where they were resting in the grape well, this team of more than 10,000 people composed of various strata of Dafang and Muorg immediately collapsed.

No matter how much the Governor of the Left Governor Maude shouted and gave the order, there was no way to gather the scattered fleeing crowd together to form a formation to resist the attack.

The only one who still obeyed the command and fought with him was a group of more than 3,000 Shuixi Yi soldiers who he personally led to cover the back of the palace.

This Yi soldier is Maude's team, and he is also An Bangyan's cronies, and he is also a brave and accustomed warrior who An Bangyan has accumulated over the years with the Shuixi army.

However, no matter how good they were at fighting, when the Shizhu White Pole Soldiers under Qin Liangyu, the Baojing Tu Soldiers under Peng Chaozhu, and especially the Miao soldiers of the Luo Gan Elephant Division and the Guangxi Wolf Soldiers who were chasing from the Dafang direction, rushed to the Grape Well battlefield at the same time, everything was settled without any suspense.
