Chapter 664

"What, Dongwu's elite army is here?"

"Yes, there are fifty war elephants alone, and a total of 2 horses have come!"

"Is it the deputy leader who contacted you? This is so timely, it's really great!"

"..."

In this instant, Wu Bikui's prestige surpassed that of Sha Dingzhou.

It is true that Sha Dingzhou also has allies, and they have sent Hongyi cannons.However, although the Hongyi Cannon is powerful, it cannot attack Kunming City.But now, when the imperial army was overwhelmed, Wu Bikui's allies arrived, and there were still 2 horses and fifty war elephants.This newly arrived army, like a stimulant, penetrated into the body of every rebel.

For the timely arrival of Dongwu's army, Wu Bikui was naturally very happy, and immediately shouted loudly: "The leader of the army is Tai Taitun, the confidant of King Dongwu Talong, and I will go to meet him together. Don't be rude."

When the other chieftains heard this, they applauded immediately. Even Sha Dingzhou could only follow Wu Bikui's lead against his will at this moment.

So these chieftains went south for five li, and saw the Dongwu army that was coming.

Fifty war elephants were at the forefront of the team. They were huge and had a great visual impact.Although these chieftains in Yunnan have also seen war elephants, and some of them once had war elephants.However, there are as many as fifty heads, which is not what these chieftains can have.Seeing at this moment, just having so many war elephants made them envious.

Tai Taitun, the confidant of King Dongwu Talong, sat on the back of the first war elephant, looked down at these Yunnan chieftains, and said to them with a smile on his face: "My king said, Coming this time, I will definitely help you take down Kunming."

Since King Dongwu Talong ascended the throne in the second year of Chongzhen, he abandoned the war of external expansion that cost people and money, devoted himself to the recovery and development of the domestic economy, and distributed land to landless farmers.

In the 11th year of Chongzhen, he even conducted a national census and compiled survey statistics on household registration, arable land area, output and taxation in various places as the basis for tax collection and labor labor.

The reason for this is that the previous kings of Dongwu liked to expand and fight. They invaded Yunnan several times and fought several wars.At the beginning, he was beaten to the ground by Liu Ting, the number one fierce general in the late Ming Dynasty.But later, Liu Ting was transferred to North Korea to fight the Japanese army, and there were no generals in Yunnan to intimidate Dongwu, and Dongwu took away Mubang, which originally belonged to Ming Dynasty.

Not only that, Dongwu also attacked other neighboring countries. The number of wars has already made Dongwu hurt.It is for this reason that when King Long ascended the throne, the public opinion in Dongwu was already very war-weary.King Talong saw this, so he ceased fighting and recuperated.

Now, after nearly 20 years of rest and recuperation, Dongwu's national power has increased greatly, and it is discovered that there is chaos in Daming, and chieftains have rebelled one after another. Such a good opportunity, he, King Long, will naturally not let it go, so he came to fish in troubled waters.

At this time, hearing Tai Taitun's words, these chieftains looked at each other, and finally looked at their deputy leader.

When Wu Bikui saw him, he knew that the situation had changed, and Dongwu's army didn't know it yet, so he needed to explain it to him.The other chieftains asked him to do this.

But at this moment, he didn't speak.Instead, he warmly welcomed Tai Taitun and led the Dongwu army all the way to the barracks outside Kunming. When the banquet was held, he was ready to explain the current situation to Tai Taitun.

But who knows, Tai Taitun had already seen the Kunming city defense just now, and before Wu Bikui could speak, he immediately laughed and said, "Don't worry, the Kunming city defense is no better than this, as long as the general chooses a good opportunity to send a war elephant force to cooperate with the attack." City, within three days, we will definitely take Kunming City!"

After he finished speaking, he saw that these chieftains seemed not as happy as he had imagined, and suddenly he felt a little unhappy, so he said, "Why, do you think I'm going to brag? Or is it that you promised to give half of the city's property? Are you going to regret it?"

Hearing this, the chieftains looked at Wu Bikui again, some of them were not very friendly.They didn't expect that Wu Bikui made the decision and promised half of the property in Kunming City to the Dongwu people. No wonder the Dongwu people were so active and sent fifty war elephants.

In fact, they misunderstood Wu Bikui.When he first talked with King Long, it was not this condition, but several state capitals near Dongwu were also promised to him by King Long.

At this time, Wu Bikui saw that Tai Taitun was a little unhappy, so he quickly explained: "Now the situation has changed a bit, and taking down Kunming City within three days is no longer the most important..."

Hearing this, Tai Taitun was a little strange. The army besieged the city, instead of attacking Kunming City, should they go to other places to fight?

"...The imperial army has arrived. It is the Emperor of Ming's personal conquest. It is only a hundred miles away from here. It is estimated that we will arrive in Kunming in two days." Wu Bikui smiled reluctantly, and saluted Tai Tai, "There is a general leading the way. With the arrival of the elite Dongwu army, we are confident that we can fight against the imperial army, defeat the imperial army, and defeat the Ming emperor!"

"What?" Tai Taitun was taken aback when he heard this. He didn't know about this situation in advance. He thought he was just here to attack Kunming City to pick up leaks. His face changed, and he didn't care about drinking, so he asked quickly, " The emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally marched? How many people came? 50, or 100 million, it must be a huge number?"

In his opinion, if the emperor of Ming Dynasty came, it must be the soldiers who poured down the country.Daming is so big, even if it has 100 million troops, it is not surprising.

Hearing his words, the corners of Wu Bikui's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he quickly replied: "The scouts have verified it before, and the imperial army should be around 20, and it is claimed to be [-]."

"What, only 7 troops?" After hearing this, Tai Taiton couldn't help but said in surprise, "With such a small number of troops, not even half of your military strength, the Ming Emperor actually dared to lead an expedition in person? Does he think that fighting is just playing house? , is it a joke?"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly became excited again, and immediately said to Wu Bikui: "If you really want such a small army, you can rest assured, as long as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty dares to come, he must be kept here, or , took him to our Dongwu, dedicated to our king, hahaha..."

Seeing him being so optimistic, I have to say that he gave these toasts a little more confidence.

The reason why they were a little pessimistic before was because many of them were copied from their nests and lost their roots, so they were already a little weaker psychologically.And because the rumors about the Ming emperor that I heard before are true, I am even more afraid.

At this time, I heard Tai Taitun speak and saw Dongwu's army. It was indeed much better than their own army, at least in terms of equipment, so of course their confidence increased a lot.

I heard Wu Bikui say to Tai Taitun: "I still have to rely on the General! To tell you the truth, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is a bit treacherous. Instead of coming to rescue Kunming City immediately, he attacked our hometown first..."

The battle was about to start, and he had to explain the situation to Tai Taitun, so as not to cause any problems in the battle.

After hearing this, Tai Taitun couldn't help being a little surprised and said: "It seems that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is really a bit cold-blooded. He treats his subjects like this, and he doesn't come to rescue Kunming City first. It will definitely make others feel cold. Don't worry. Yes, although your hometown is gone and you were retaliated by the court, but it doesn't matter, as long as we win the Ming army, you can repay any revenge."

Speaking of this, he paused and added: "Even if it's just a stalemate, it will be of great benefit to us. Not only are our troops more than twice as large as theirs, but our underdogs will surely win. The Ming army must always worry that their mean and ungrateful emperor will abandon them. Therefore, we will definitely win this battle!"

After Tai Taitun compared the armies of the two sides in detail, many chieftains became more optimistic and felt that what he said made sense.With the addition of Dongwu's elite army, they will have a better chance of winning this battle.

Therefore, they flattered Tai Taitun one after another.Some chieftains even flattered King Long.This scene made Annan's Ruan Fuquan feel very uncomfortable.

Originally, when he first arrived, it was like all the stars were holding the moon.But as time passed, not only did the Hongyi cannon they brought failed to capture Kunming City, but one was damaged.Now his side, in fact, is basically useless for war. This has been tasted from people's attention to contempt, and seeing that Dongwu's side has become a guest here, he regretted it. In this case, more troops should be brought over.

However, if you think about it carefully, he still needs reinforcements from the Yunnan chieftain, and how can he send troops to attack Zheng's army from north to south.

At this time, Ruan Fuquan was lost, but Tai Taitun was very happy. He simply drank the wine in the glass in one go, then threw it anywhere, and shouted: "Okay, the army will rest for a whole day, tomorrow we will go Take the initiative to meet him and fight the Ming emperor. This general can tell you that you must not kill the Ming emperor, but capture him alive. This general will bring it back to our king, and let this Ming dog emperor serve my king! "

"My lord general, isn't that going to be cut?" A chieftain asked jokingly when he heard it.

Needless to say, in the decisive battle with the imperial court, the backbone of Dongwu's army must be curry favor with them.

Hearing his words, the other chieftains burst out laughing, and Tai Taitun laughed too, and immediately replied: "That's right, it must be cut!"

That's it, until the next day, except for the [-] troops left to guard against the Ming army in Kunming, the other chieftain troops, together with Dongwu's army, marched mightily towards the imperial army.
