At the end of Ming Dynasty: I, Sun Kewang!Desperate comeback!

Chapter 370 Hong Chengchou vs. Li Dingguo

"That's natural. That's why I came here with soldiers and horses from six towns."

"It's enough to wipe out the Yungui Wu thieves, kill the old thieves Hong Chengchou, and capture Zhu Youlang, the escaped emperor."

"Let's settle our grudges with Li Dingguo again!" Wang Shangli said coldly.

"I am willing to serve as the vanguard for the prince to catch all the monsters, ghosts, ghosts, monsters and monsters in Yunnan!"

Generals Hei Bangjun, Hu Zhengli, Li Yongchang, and He Tianyun all spoke.

"Okay!" Wang Shangli laughed loudly and said, "All four of you are talented generals."

"I can't make a decision at the moment, so why not do this?"

"Each of you will lead 3,000 elite troops. Who will cross the Beipan River first?"

"Whoever I will appoint as a vanguard will be the first to march into Yunnan and gain great success!"

"I obey the prince's order!" Hei Bangjun and others quickly said.

After taking Guiyang.

Wang Shangli took the main force to temporarily rest in Guiyang and recruit nearby chieftains.

Although Hei Bangjun each led 3,000 soldiers and horses, they marched along the Yunnan-Guizhou Avenue.

Coming in a hurry towards Beipanjiang River.

Wu Jun's resistance was negligible along the way.

Officials and chieftains from all over the country resigned one after another and returned to the embrace of the Western Army.

Finally, An Ruding, Luo Dashun and others, chieftains of Shuixi, led troops to greet them.

Receiving the support of Heibang Junbu, he took the lead in crossing the Beipan River.

Wang Shangli then appointed Hei Bangjun as the vanguard, commanding 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 cavalry infantry as the vanguard.

Heading towards Yunnan from Beipanjiang River.

And he himself commanded tens of thousands of troops and marched along the Yunnan-Guizhou Road in a mighty manner.

At the same time, Hong Chengchou was confronting Li Dingguo in Yunnan.

Hong Chengchou gathered troops from Yunnan and Guizhou and assembled a garrison of 20,000 troops at Lufeng to block Li Dingguo's eastward advance.

He did not fight with Li Dingguo, and had been fighting steadily in Lufeng.

Although Li Dingguo challenged him many times, there was no response.

During the confrontation between the two sides, Li Dingguo, who was the only one in Chuxiong, gradually began to lose his support.

Although Hong Chengchou was also in dire straits, he had the whole of Yunnan in his hands.

No matter what, he is much better than Li Dingguo.

So he had already suffered a loss in Songjin.

This time I was able to make the decision, so I adopted the consumption mode.

Trying to drag Li Dingguo down to death.

The time has come and Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan's armies are already running out of food.

Hong Chengchou's hope of victory is getting bigger and bigger.

However, at this moment, the military information from Guiyang arrived in Lufeng like snowflakes.

"Sir, the Western bandits have entered Guizhou, and I am afraid that Guiyang is not safe at this moment."

In Lufeng City, a group of staff spoke up.

"I know this, it seems we can't stay in Yunnan any longer." Hong Chengchou sighed after hearing this.

"Director Hong, what do you mean?"

"Is it possible that our army is going to abandon Yunnan?" Wu Fan general Tao Yizhi asked in surprise.

"General Tao, our army in Yunnan and Guizhou only has 30,000 soldiers."

"Such troops and horses need to deal with both Li Dingguo and Wang Shangli."

"As far as I know, Wang Shangli has stationed troops in six towns in Hunan, with a total of 100,000 troops."

"Besides, Yunnan and Guizhou are the hometown of Xiying. Sun Kewang has been operating here for ten years and has already become deeply rooted."

"The gentry, common people, and chieftains of Yunnan and Guizhou have been suffering from war for a long time."

"Compared with the old days of Sun Kewang's rule, everyone is nostalgic for the past."

"My heart is no longer with me."

"In this case, unless the King of Zhou can send tens of thousands of troops and horses to help."

"Otherwise, given the current situation in Yunnan and Guizhou, we will have no choice but to take the emperor and his family north to Sichuan."

"Only in this way can we avoid the danger of overturning the nest."

"Now the King of Zhou is at war with Sun Kewang in Shaanxi and Gansu." "I'm afraid he has too much time to take care of himself, so how can he mobilize tens of thousands of troops and horses thousands of miles away to come to his aid?"

"In this case, our army can only go north to Sichuan to temporarily avoid the Western bandits." Hong Chengchou said slowly.

Regarding the current situation in Yunnan, Wang Shangli came with soldiers and horses from six towns.

Hong Chengchou knew without even thinking that he couldn't defend it with his own strength.

No matter in terms of soldiers and horses or in terms of people's hearts.

Wu Jun was at an absolute disadvantage.

Even in terms of food and grass, the internal operations and the Wu army were inferior to the expeditionary expedition to the Western Army.

Today's Yunnan is already devastated, with hundreds of wastes waiting to be revitalized.

It was simply unable to support the Wu army in a long and fierce battle.

However, Wang Shangli's troops and horses were backed by Hunan, which had already undergone great rule, so they were much more comfortable in terms of logistics.

The wily Hong Chengchou could see this situation at a glance.

The Wu army in Yunnan could no longer hold on.

Since Yunnan cannot be defended, the best way is to take Wu Fan's family and Yongli north to Sichuan.

"If I abandon Yunnan like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."

Tao Yizhi thought for a while, and finally sighed.

"Let's take it one step at a time. It's better to go to Sichuan than wait for death in Yunnan." Hong Chengchou said when he saw the grains piled up.

"Sir, the Western bandits have entered Guizhou and will approach Yunnan soon."

"There are Western thieves behind our army and Li thieves in front of us."

"The withdrawal of troops should be carefully planned."

"Otherwise, if you are not careful, you may give Li Dingguo a chance."

"Although this King Li Jin has no great talent, he does have some tricks up his sleeve."

"Hengyang, Jiaoshui, and Mopanshan all demonstrate his unpredictable military skills."

"Only through careful planning can our army retreat unscathed!" an aide said solemnly.

As soon as these words came out, Hong Chengchou suddenly had a headache.

What Li Dingguo is best at is counterattack.

As long as there is a flaw in the formation, he can find opportunities to defeat the enemy.

The previous battles all demonstrated his ability.

Now Hong Chengchou is playing steadily in Lufeng, leaving him no chance to take advantage.

But once the army starts moving, flaws will be revealed.

By then, if Li Dingguo seizes the opportunity.

That would be another big defeat!

"From now on, a small group of our troops will go out of the city to fight Li Bai."

"It will definitely make Li Dingguo feel pressured."

"When he dares not act rashly, our army will retreat quickly."

"At the same time, we sent people to set up checkpoints on the roads to cut off news from Guizhou."

"We must not let the morale of our army be shaken!"

"Yes!" All the generals on the staff handed over their hands.

"General Tao, I need to personally sit here and fight Li Dingguo."

"I can only leave it to you to be responsible for relocating the family members and the court."

"Remember, you should also close the city gates tightly in Kunming to block news."

"Once the news of Shengjiabo's relocation spreads, there will be an uproar throughout Yunnan."

"And the morale of our army will definitely be deeply affected!" Hong Chengchou said solemnly.

"Please rest assured, Commander, the final arrangements will be made as soon as possible." Tao Yizhi said with cupped hands.

Hong Chengchou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

He said slowly: "Let's all go down and get ready. The governor is old and very tired from fighting against Li Dingguo."

"We need to rest early so that we can make proper arrangements for the army."

"What the Superintendent said is true, so I won't bother you." Tao Yizhi and others said quickly.
