First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 840
After the two armies met, the Luchuan army drove the war elephants into the battle. All the war elephants were wearing armor and had a battle tower on their backs. The elephant soldiers stood on the battle tower and shot arrows.There is also a short spear on the left and right sides of the war elephant, which cooperates with the war elephant to sprint.

The Ming army launched artillery, and there were already buried mines in the ground. For a while, the sky collapsed and the ground fell. The Luchuan infantry heard the sound and didn't know what it was. But as the same kind whose internal organs were blown out began to whine, they were finally frightened and all turned around and ran back. The huge formation of Luchuan Army was attacked by war elephants, and the Chinese Army quickly collapsed inward.

Luchuan's elephant cavalry and armored soldiers were all bombarded by shells like headless chickens, trampling each other and rushing into battle, but Luchuan still has elite soldiers, which is what must be conquered in decades. accumulated background.

Following Luchuan Wang Silun's order, his subordinate Xi Layi led the elite warriors directly under the king to dispatch, holding a javelin and throwing it vigorously, first shooting and killing the frenzied elephants, and then raising the spear to kill the retreating fleeing ones. Then, short spears flew out like dense rain, and fell on the artillery camp.

"Damn it, you can throw it so far!"

Luchuan immediately appeased the Xiangqi, covered its eyes and ears with cloth, and prepared the lineup again. This kind of people who can counterattack with the whole army in the face of partial defeat must be strong and vigorous.

Mu Ying remained calm, and waved her hand to interrupt the complaints of the generals around her. The Ming army was never afraid of head-to-head encounters, let alone soft-legged shrimps who would only hide behind firearms.

There are strong soldiers in Luchuan, and my Ming Dynasty also has strong soldiers who conquered the world and calmed the troubled times. The battlefield here is full of mountains and mountains. Firearms can play a role, but they can't end the battle.

Zhang Yin, commander of the Yunnan vanguard, received the military order and led the front army to charge. He personally led more than a hundred cavalrymen to break through the formation for the vanguard.

The two generals were full of murderous intent, Zhang Yin fired arrows continuously, and the enemy general also fired arrows consecutively, fighting for the first place on the battlefield, not afraid of death and life, Zhang Yinyuan was under Chang Yuchun's command, and then fought fiercely in Quzhou and Jiuhuashan. Zhang Shicheng defeated Chen Youliang, and has always been a brave pioneer He is really a tiger general when he climbs the front and falls into the battle.

Seeing that arrows are difficult to break through the iron armor, Zhang Yin's eyes were shining, he moved his legs with the iron palm of the horse, and aimed directly at the elephant's bare left knee and flank. Falling to the ground, the Ming army shouted mighty!
Xi La also jumped off the elephant riding ahead of time, and faced Zhang Rongzu, a thousand households of the Ming army who was about to behead and capture the general, he first threw a spear and hit the horse, and then greeted him with a spear, shouting and beheading thousands of households in an instant. The Sichuan army is in great momentum.

The cavalry of the two armies confronted each other, countless people turned their backs on their backs, and the infantry also began to confront each other. Mu Ying put out the artillery and crossbows and fired them together.

Seeing this, the Xi assassination also led the elite directly, and rushed straight to the left army of the Ming army. These fierce soldiers were in the chaotic army, and the order was not chaotic at all. He was forced to retreat for a while.

Mu Ying controlled the overall situation from a high place, commanded the whole army with command flags and orders, and when she saw this, she pulled out her sword and threw it to Feng Sheng: "Go and remove the military power of the general of the left army, the governor and Tongzhi Tongzhi, and replace him. Those in the formation must be killed!"

"promise!"

In the left army formation of the Ming army, Yan was reprimanding his subordinates and ordering to cut off the retreating soldiers, when he heard the captain report: "Mr. Feng came with the sword of the great general..."

He was looking up to the sky and screaming, got on his horse and held a lance and led his troops to charge forward, directly facing Xi Layi's sharp edge. The two fought several times, and each was injured.

Xi La also saw that Yan Zhengbu was suddenly full of vigor, and knew that it was difficult to break the battle, so he could only retreat, but Zhang Yin, the commander of the Yunnan avant-garde who was chasing him, shot an arrow in the back...

At this time, Feng Chengcai came and saw that he was not in a hurry to seize power. He Zheng was a native of Shouzhou, Fengyang Prefecture. He was the adopted son of Wei Decheng in his early years, and he followed Wei to Conglong. Guard Lintao, break Dingxi from Dengyu, Kehe Prefecture...

It is a part of Huaixi's nobility, and it can be regarded as my uncle's generation. If I don't make up for it, there is nothing I can do. But since it is redeemed, then I can wait for a while and wait for the general's military order.

Sure enough, after a while, a lieutenant of the Chinese Army sent an order, ordering Feng Cheng to go to another place...

Xu Yungong, the commander of the right army, led his troops to encircle and personally beheaded several generals of Luchuan. Seeing that Luchuan's elite were besieged, Mu Ying no longer rushed to fight. If they can't open the way to withdraw the troops, the game is over.

In the end, Luchuan's elite sent Luchuan King out of the dead end. The Ming army won a complete victory, beheaded more than 37 people, captured more than [-] people, and captured [-] war elephants.

In addition to being killed and captured by the Ming army, Luchuan soldiers were injured, sick, separated, or starved on the way back.

The Ming Dynasty took advantage of the situation and set up propaganda departments in Burma, Babaidaian, Cheli, Laos, etc., and the Luchuan Kingdom retreated and defended the city, no longer invincible.

.........

In the autumn of the 11th year of Hongwu, Tao Mengdao Ganmeng of Luchuan launched a rebellion, and Uncle Zhao Xiaofa of the King of Luchuan also took advantage of the trend to raise troops in Yunjielan, the capital of the king.

As early as the First World War in Yunnan, King Luchuan, who had completely lost his majesty and military power, had nowhere to go. He abandoned his country and fled.

Luchuan was divided by Daoganmeng and Zhaoxiaofa, and they were divided into two, and they all paid tribute to Ming Dynasty, and the request was the same, that is, to kill the former Luchuan king who had fled to Yunnan.

Daming accepted Zhao Xiaofa and Si Lunfa's uncles and nephews as ministers and tribute, and asked Mu Ying to escort Si Lunfa back to the country, put down Dao Ganmeng's rebellion, and let the two divide Luchuan.

But Luchuan is no longer the original Luchuan. After the last defeat and this civil strife, the vitality of the Luchuan country was severely damaged, and many small chieftains broke away from its control and threw themselves into the arms of Daming.

So Daming took the opportunity to set up three Tufu, Mengyang, Mubang, and Mengding, and four chief courts, Lujiang, Ganya, Dahou, and Wandian. At the end of the year, Diwula, Daguci, and Dima were added. Sprinkle three consolation divisions.

Since then, the Luchuan Kingdom, known as the overlord of Central South, has only left a hollow shelf.

For Mu Ying who made such great achievements, the imperial court had its own rewards, and ordered the fifth son of the emperor, King Wu, to go to Yunnan to proclaim the decree: "Dedicated to officials, meritorious rewards, the emperor custom misses relatives and remembers old times, and those who often pass by in personnel affairs are in troubled times." , has no children at the age of 25, and Er Muying's parents did not survive because of the war. At the age of eight, it is difficult to have a full life. I pity her orphan and raise her like a child. Later, because I have all my sons, I also grow up. Heavenly principles are not obscure, but Bifuer's surname is the ancestor of Si'er, and Erke Zhuoli has made many meritorious deeds."

"Recalling Er's great achievements in pacifying Luchuan, I will be specially granted the title of Dr. Guanglu of Zuozhu Kingdom, the Duke of Liang, and the salary of [-] shi. Yinzi Muchun will be the captain of Shangqingche and the commander of the rear army. The matter of the government has made your children and grandchildren inherit Juelu from generation to generation. You should think about the first meeting you met by chance. Don't forget the kindness of explaining the difficulties. Dreams are kept in your heart. Ghosts and gods will repay you. Forgetting is the way of a gentleman, following the instructions of the Ming Dynasty will always be blessed!"

Mu Ying sobbed and thanked him, took King Wu's hand to ask about the current situation of the empress and the prince, and said that every day he would not miss the kindness of education, everyone sighed, and the king of Wu stroked his back and said that he must be called Brother, it can be seen that Liang Guogong is close to the imperial family, just like a family.

But the officials and civilians of all ethnic groups in Yunnan "have no old or young people, and they are afraid that they will not come (transfer), so they will go eastward in embarrassment.

At the end of the year, Sheng sent the emperor's six sons to personally call Liang Guogong and his wife and children to Beijing to celebrate the New Year with the emperor. When Mu Ying arrived outside the capital, Prime Minister Hu Weiyong personally led civil and military personnel to welcome him.

The emperor quit the court to give a banquet to the Hall of Martial Arts, where he got very drunk with the warriors. Xi Jian embraced his proud adopted son and sighed: "Since you are in the town, I have no worries about the Southwest!"
