Baojing City comforted the envoy Si Yamen, and Tusi Peng Ding was lying on a table to paint. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info If it weren't for Wang Xinyu's crossing, this Peng Ding would be a famous figure, and Peng Ding's native soldiers played a key role in the battle of Tuhai to exterminate the Thirteen Families of Kuidong. Li Laiheng relied on the terrain to stop the Qing army, but Peng Ding's native soldiers were good at fighting in the mountains. In the fierce battle, Gao Bizheng died under the bow and arrow of the Miao soldiers. In the end, Peng Ding's native soldiers attacked the Huanglong cottage, and Li Laiheng's family threw themselves into the raging fire.

But because of the arrival of Wang Xinyu, Tuhai was defeated, Mulima was killed, and Peng Ding also lost the opportunity to play.

"My lord, something is wrong! The thief sailor attacked in two directions, known as an army of 50,000, and killed them from the upstream and downstream respectively, along the Youshui! Zhang Weiren, the chief officer of the Miao Tubing, came to report in a panic.

"Father, the puppet traitors are strong, the sailors are sharp, and our county can't hold it! It is better to quickly evacuate the county seat, withdraw into the mountains, retreat to the area of the holy mountain, and then unite the local soldiers of Tammy Village and Jinlong Village, and use the mountainous terrain to deal with the puppet Ming rebels, so that our army can fight! Peng Ding's son Peng Zehong offered advice.

"Not bad!" Peng Ding nodded, "The thieves use the waterway, they can transport artillery to bombard us, our county is not easy to defend, or retreat into the mountains!" ”

"We retreat into the mountains, and we can recruit young adults, distribute weapons to them, and let them help us! As long as the thief enters the mountains, hum! Our Miao people's poisonous arrows, traps, and traps can make them lose a lot! General Soldier Gao Lun said.

The native soldiers abandoned the city of Baojing, which was along the river, and withdrew into the mountains. At the same time, Peng Zehong, Zhang Weiren, Gao Lun and others recruited native soldiers in various places, and quickly expanded the size of the native soldiers to 10,000 people, trying to use the complex mountainous terrain to resist the attack of the Ming army.

The attacking Wang Jinzhong army had 15,000 mountain soldiers, a total of 5,000 flintlock musketeers, 500 stragglers, 500 sharpshooters, 3,000 rattan armor soldiers, 5,000 auxiliaries and 1,000 artillerymen. In addition to the 500 sharpshooters who used rifled guns, the 500 sharpshooters who used combined pulley bows, 24 12-pounder portable mortar guns, and 12 100-pound sub-mother guns, Wang Xinyu also allocated two of the latest 12-pounder mountain howitzers to the mountain army.

The twelve-pounder mountain howitzer is the latest front-loading smoothbore gun in the Ming army, and it is the ultimate front-loading smoothbore gun, the barrel of this kind of gun weighs only about two hundred and twenty pounds, and a mule can carry the barrel. Gun wheels, gun carriages, etc. were dismantled and transported by mules, allowing them to march in the mountains.

Mountain howitzers can both fire flowering shells with a long range and high accuracy. Compared with the sub-mother cannon and the portable mortar gun, although the sub-mother cannon has a long range, it cannot fire flowering shells, and the trajectory is too low; Although the mortar cannon can fire flowering shells and has a large ballistic curve, the accuracy is too poor and the range is too close. The shells carried by the 12-pounder mountain howitzer are also the latest metal medicine disc fuse flowering shells, with a low blind fire rate, long range, high accuracy, and the interior is filled with new explosives, and the explosive power of this kind of shell is quite large, reaching the level of explosive power of the 75-millimeter mountain cannon of later generations.

The two sailors were killed from Chongqing in the upper reaches and Yuezhou in the lower reaches, with a total of 8,000 sailors. Coming down were mainly small sampans and raft bamboo rafts, carrying sub-mother cannons and eight-pounder mortar cannons; The sailors who went upriver downstream had small gunboats, armed with six-pounder guns, and they also carried twelve-pounder army guns made of wood, which looked like real from a distance.

In fact, the Ming army's naval divisions from Chongqing in the upper reaches and Yuezhou in the lower reaches were nothing more than feint troops, and the two naval divisions arrived at the city of Baojing, and the native soldiers in the city had already disappeared without a trace. The main force of the real attack was Wang Jinzhong's mountain army, which had disembarked in advance and marched along the mountain road.

"Your Excellency!" A mountain scout on a reconnaissance mission ran over with a guide panting, "The Peng family Tusi has given up Baojing City and run!" Our sailor pounced. ”

Wang Jinzhong nodded: "It's okay, our sailor was originally a feint attack force, and it is impossible for the thieves to stay in the city to test the power of our sailor's artillery!" Now that they've run away, we'll go into the mountains to chase after them! ”

Broken Dragon Mountain, on the hills on both sides of the valley mouth, three native soldiers probed their brains, looked at the valley mouth in front of them, vigilantly staring at the movement on the mountain road, once they found that the Ming army was coming, these native soldiers could send a signal, so that Peng Ding's native soldiers were prepared, and they could use the mountainous terrain of the gate to block the Ming army.

Just as the three native soldiers were probing their brains to observe the road down the mountain, several figures wearing colorful military uniforms, grass rings on their heads, and branches and leaves suddenly appeared in the jungle behind these native soldiers. These figures carefully bypassed the trap set by Miao Tubing and appeared behind the Tubing sentry. With a few shots of crossbow arrows, the swift arrows pierced the throats of the three native soldiers. The three native soldiers didn't even have time to call the police, so they twitched a few times and fell in a pool of blood.

Banin put down the crossbow machine, walked forward with three mountain scouts and two local guides, walked up to the corpse of Miao Tubing, and turned over the corpse a few times.

The local guide's name was Luo Yu, and he was a local resident. Luo Yu and these people who have lived here for generations, because they do not have their own Tusi, they are oppressed by the Miao people on weekdays, and the Miao people rely on the power of Tusi to occupy the best land, occupy the water sources by the river, and leave them only the barren mountainous areas. That's not all, the food they worked hard to produce all year round, the prey skins they caught in the mountains, and the medicines they collected had to be handed over to the toast.

Now that the Ming army arrived, they promised to eliminate the local Peng Ding Tusi and distribute their land to themselves, and there were soldiers from the local people in the Ming army.

"Master Jun, there is no way to bypass the terrain in front of you, there is only one way to go up to the cottage. Our brothers who have been ambushed nearby have observed them in the past few days, and there are about 200 native soldiers in front of the village, and they have recruited 500 young men. Luo Yu reported the previous situation to Baning.

The Xiangjia village in front is a fish bone stuck on the main road leading to the holy mountain, tamping Wu village and Jinlong village, if the department pulls out this thorn, then when the Ming army passes, the native soldiers in the cottage can come down at any time to harass and attack the Ming army.

After Baning went back to report the situation to Wang Jinzhong, Wang Jinzhong immediately ordered Ma Hongyi, the general of the Shizhu Ba people: "Prepare to attack the village!" Eight hundred men were dispatched, with six mortars! ”
