Chapter 684: Bloody Battle in Jeonju
***
Under the city of Quanzhou, the Qin army carried the cloud ladder and rushed to the city head in waves, the golden drum roared, and the sound of killing entered the clouds.
Qu Shiyun personally took the sword to the city to boost morale, and the stone rolling wood at the head of the city rumbled down, blocking the black and oppressive Qin army under the city.
Qin Zuoming followed Qin Liangyu for many years, organized a fierce and orderly attack, in order to quickly break through the whole state, cut off the back road of Yongzhou Jiao Lian, the Qin army forgot to die, risking arrows and stones to rush to the city again and again, the Xiangjiang River under the city was dyed dark red by blood, and the corpses were all over the city walls.
In the fierce attack of the Qin army, the morale of the defenders of Quanzhou became lower and lower, and the Qin army's earth-shattering thunder was thrown on the city in a string, blowing up Quanzhou to the ground.
In the rain of arrows like flying locusts and the sound of fierce explosions, some soldiers rushed to report to the Qu Shiyun at the head of the city that Gu Xiancheng had an unusual movement.
Qu Shiyun was shocked, and after ordering Bai Gui to defend the north of the city, he hurried to the west of the city where Gu Xiancheng was responsible for defending, and sure enough, he saw Gu Xiancheng and his subordinates preparing to charge the city and flee.
Fortunately, Qu Shiyun came in time, he called Gu Xiancheng into the gate tower alone, and said to him: "Gu Xiancheng, this official knows what you are thinking, this official might as well tell you a few words of reassurance." At the beginning in Gannan, you had already missed an opportunity, otherwise you would probably be a prince now, and you would have been glorious for generations.
Now, this is your last chance, Guangxi is saved, and you can still enjoy the glory and wealth. If Guangxi can't be saved, the so-called whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, and even if you become a rat, you will have nowhere to hide.
If you can think about it carefully, you should know that in the whole of Guangxi, anyone can surrender, you can't, anyone can escape, you can't. If you run away today, you will have no way to run tomorrow. ”
Qu Shiyun's words are indeed heart-wrenching. Gu Xiancheng listened to the mixed feelings in his heart, his face was as if he had opened a dyeing workshop, he had done too many bad things, and he was a prisoner that Qin Mu would like to get rid of;
At the edge of the bewildering water, the Qin army was still emphasizing this point, and encouraged his soldiers to increase their ranks, and whoever obtained his head would be promoted to the rank of knight.
Qu Shiyun struck while the iron was hot, and then said: "Take 10,000 steps back, even if you really think you can escape." Then why not fight it first, maybe you can spell out a generation of princes. In case the whole state really can't hold it, wouldn't it be the same if you go up the mountain and fall into the grass again. At least you won't regret it because you did your best. ”
After a battle between heaven and man, Gu Xiancheng hugged his fists and said: "Okay, Gu will listen to Qu Shangshu, this time I will fight!" ”
Gu Xian no longer planned to escape, led the army to defend Xicheng, and personally fought on the front line with a knife. was injured in the left arm by the earth-shattering thunder of the Qin army, and still did not go down to the city.
His fierceness boosted morale, and Xicheng was at peace. Moreover, the arrows of his men and horses were smeared with poison, causing great casualties to the Qin army.
Qin Zuoming had to change the offensive plan. took a feint attack on the western city defended by Gu Xiancheng, and instead concentrated his forces to storm the northern city.
Rumble!
In a fierce explosion, the Ming army at the head of the city was blown down, and Fang Jian took the opportunity to climb over the city wall. Jumping down the city, with a roar, a powerful arrow shot through his cheek. It was a danger that would kill him.
"Kill!" His broadsword slashed out in anger, and the light of the sword was like a rainbow, cutting off half of the head of a rushing defender, and Bai Sensen's skull, oozing human brains, and gushing blood, stained the city red.
Even Sanjiang, the comrades behind him, roared, "Death to those who resist!" "Rushed to the top of the city, fought side by side with Fang Jian, fought hard to repel a few defenders who rushed up, desperately trying to keep this part of the city, so that the successors could land in the city.
The main general of the defenders, Bai Gui, personally rushed over with his own soldiers, and a long-handled broadsword danced thunderously, dang! Lian Sanjiang's big knife was slashed away by Bai Gui, Fang Jian exclaimed, swung his knife forward, and slashed towards Bai Gui with all his strength;
Bai Gui's right foot fell, did not retreat but advanced, the handle of the knife shrank backwards, the big knife picked up like lightning, and it was another sound, sparks shot together, gold and iron resonated, Fang Jian's big knife was shaken open, at this time, Bai Gui's personal soldiers rushed up, and the other party was a knife in the head.
"Be careful!" Lian Sanjiang behind him shouted loudly, but Fang Jian only had time to let go of his head, and one of his left arms was chopped with blood, hurting his heart and lungs.
"Hurry back!" Lian Sanjiang stepped forward to block Fang Jian, whose face was distorted in pain, and retreated, and when he arrived at the edge of the ladder, under the desperate urging of Lian Sanjiang, Fang Jian, who had a feeling of dizziness due to intense pain, turned over and went down to the city first, and Lian Sanjiang in the back was besieged by Bai Gui and his own soldiers, but he never had a chance to withdraw.
The tearing of Quanzhou City has entered a white heat, one side is to cut off the back road of Jiao Lian's army, and the other side is to guard the gate of Guangxi.
Qin Zuoming didn't expect that the defenders, encouraged by Qu Shiyun, would be able to hold on without crushing, and after a day of fierce fighting, they actually caused him nearly 300 casualties.
One of the most hateful was Gu Xiancheng's poisoned arrow, which was the main reason for the heavy casualties of the Qin army. forced Qin Zuoming to temporarily give up the strong attack, and chose to send people to Yongzhou to pull heavy artillery as much as possible.
Ma Liuliang in the south was neat and neat, beheaded Zhao Youchang of Tuzhi Prefecture in Longzhou, and then asked the soldiers to take Zhao Youchang's head to the surrounding Tuzhou and Tuxian.
The hideous head was thrown in front of those toasts, two choices, one, obediently go to Longzhou to listen to the order, there are your benefits. Second, it's the same as Zhao Youchang. It's best to prepare the lime yourself, and as for what to do with the lime, think for yourself.
Tang Yue began to implement the reform of Longzhou and the return of the land, dividing the fields and land. In just a few days, the natives who were allocated the fields and money and grain abandoned the Zhao family like claws, and supported Tang Yue and them.
I thought it would be very difficult to change the land and return to the stream, but I didn't expect it to be unexpectedly smooth in Longzhou.
Tang Yue carefully studied the reasons and found that this was a historical necessity, and he also wrote his observations into a performance table and played it to the Nanjing Imperial Court, which was used as a reference for the future implementation of the imperial court's reform of the land and return to the stream.
In the Ming Dynasty, most of Guangxi was already governed by the imperial court, and the areas promulgated by the Tusi were mainly close to the mountainous areas of Jiaozhi, Yunnan, and Guizhou.
After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, due to the declining control power of the Ming court, these Tusi became increasingly corrupt and very reactionary, and some local officials became lawless and domineering earth emperors, and their desire for power continued to expand, and their lives became increasingly arrogant, rape and unscrupulous.
Having lost their restraint, in order to satisfy their own selfish desires, they brutally oppressed and brutally exploited the natives under their rule, and in order to expand their own territory and seek greater rights and interests, they constantly harassed the neighboring Tusi and killed each other, making it difficult for the local natives to live in peace.
Under such brutal exploitation, coupled with the increasingly frequent exchanges with the outside world, the decadent and backward Tusi system has become unbearable for the local people, and the desire of the local people to change from a semi-slave life to yeoman farmers has become stronger and stronger.
This kind of historical inevitability is the reason why Tang Yue tested the water in Longzhou and changed the land to return to the unexpectedly smooth flow.
won the support of the native people of Longzhou, which made Ma Liuliang like a fish in water.
Those Tusi were reluctant to listen to the order to go to Longzhou at first, and Ma Liuliang, under the leadership of the Longzhou natives, once again attacked Jiangzhou in the east with lightning speed, and cut off the head of Long Shi, the Tuzhizhou of Jiangzhou.
This deterrent power is naturally multiplied, and the toast, who was still reluctant, finally had someone afraid, first those weak soil inspectors couldn't bear it, and obediently came to Longzhou to wait for their lives, and then it was Tuzhi County and Tuzhi Prefecture under the chain reaction, and they came one after another.
In the end, even Zhao Kezhuang, the prefect of Siming, saw that the small toasts around him fell to the Qin army, and he couldn't bear it.
Ma Liuliang's method of "killing two and setting an example for a hundred" worked wonders, not only did he not encounter much resistance, but also quickly organized an army of more than 4,000 Tusi servants, and then went to Nanning Mansion to kill.
Now that the attention of Yongli Junchen has been attracted to the north by Liu Tichun and them, Ma Liuliang coldly killed from behind, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, which made Yongli Junchen never dream.
Li Jing, the prefect of Nanning, and Peng Chao, the chief soldier, then reported urgently, thinking that it was a rebellion of the natives, until Ma Liuliang and them fought mightily to forty miles away from the city of Nanning, and the two confirmed that there were 3,000 Qin troops among them, plus the natives, a total of 7,000 men and horses.
Oh my God, where did this Qin army come from, how is this possible, how is it possible?
Li Jing and Peng Chao were terrified, and hurriedly sent people to Wuzhou to report and send people everywhere to ask for reinforcements.
But Wuzhou is not close to Nanning, is it still too late?
