Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 668 I Just Want to Shout 666

Seeing this scene, the other chieftain troops, whether they were ordinary soldiers or the chieftain masters, all opened their eyes wide, feeling so unbelievable.With so many artillery guns firing together, the power is so great!Everything, in front of so many artillery pieces, is like paper.

The fifty war elephants that they were envious of originally were the kind that could control a chieftain's territory, and they were invincible.In front of the artillery of the imperial army, they are so vulnerable!
At this moment, their understanding of war finally got a direct change.

In fact, the original war in the southwest is not at the same level as the war in the north that cost hundreds of thousands.In the original book, the chieftain rebelled, and Dongwu invaded the land of Ming Dynasty, all of which could be handled by the local army.

But now, this is Emperor Chongzhen's personal conquest, and the army he leads is the elite he selected from various armies, and he has just experienced a series of battles in the recovery of Liaodong. Comparable elite.

No, under the bombardment, Dongwu's army was in chaos.Without the direct command of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhou Yuji, one of the generals of the Yongwei Battalion, immediately led his infantry to attack and advance.

The Ming army soldiers at the front were covered in iron armor from head to toe and were heavy infantrymen. They were all burly northern men. They all held machetes in their hands and marched together. Just by looking at them, they could make the enemy tremble with fear. .

Not only that, but on the flanks of this heavy infantry, there are also light cavalry from the hussar battalion to support them.When the Dongwu army was in a mess, it was like a tiger that had been lurking for a long time. Among the other troops affected by this round of shelling.

Also, behind the heavy infantry, there were fusiliers and archers following.Their mission is to support their comrades with long-range weapons and help the heavy infantry reduce the resistance of the enemy in front of them.

Behind them, there are mixed arms, spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, etc. In short, all kinds of arms coordinate and cooperate to attack and advance.

This kind of multi-arms coordinated operations, it is impossible for the elite to cooperate in such operations.At least it is impossible for these chieftain troops.

Of course, they couldn't produce an army with so many types of arms. They were basically infantry with crude weapons, not to mention how much armor and defense they had.

Looking at the imperial court's army's attack step by step, Dongwu's army has no power to fight back at all.At this moment, the chieftain army came back to their senses after being stunned, and there was a new change immediately.

Those rebel soldiers whose relatives had shouted just now, after seeing the combat power of the imperial army, immediately threw away their weapons and left without saying a word.This kind is not one or two, but a large area, a large area.

After the court army demonstrated its powerful combat power as an introduction, the rebel army just like this, immediately began to fall apart.

Some unwilling chieftains, or small serf owners under the chieftains, tried to stop them at first, and even beat up a few soldiers who didn't want to fight anymore.Its purpose is nothing more than to deter those fugitives.

However, when they did this, not only did they not deter the fugitive soldiers, but some soldiers who originally wanted to run away also became ruthless and resisted with the weapons in their hands.

If someone takes the lead, others will naturally follow.Maybe it's because I was bullied hard enough by the chieftains in the past, and now I have a chance to take revenge; or maybe I'm thinking of leaving the rebel team empty-handed, so it's better to make some achievements, and maybe the court will reward me; in short, in For various reasons, more and more soldiers turned to the bright side, and eventually spread to those chieftain troops whose hometowns were not copied by the imperial court.

Emperor Chongzhen sat on a tall horse and watched the official army launch a devastating offensive against Dongwu's army, while the Tusi army was already in chaos.The combat power of the rebel army in front of them cannot be compared with Liaodong Jianlu at all, and it is not at the same level at all.

Regarding the outcome of the current war, Emperor Chongzhen actually predicted it early on.

Although the number of troops he brought was smaller, they were all elite.The so-called soldiers are more expensive than elites, this truth is not understood by chieftains, Emperor Chongzhen knew it long before crossing.And this battlefield was also chosen by him. It was a wide place within a hundred miles, suitable for the deployment of the imperial army's chariot camp and cavalry.

In such a frontal battle, there is no need for any golden fingers at all, and even Emperor Chongzhen does not need to deploy to fight. His generals can defeat the mob united by these chieftains.

In fact, if you just want to defeat these chieftains, you can just send elites over here.In other words, it is enough to let Zheng Chongjian or Chen Qiyu be in charge of the war, and there is no need to work so hard.

What Emperor Chongzhen was actually worried about was that if these chieftain troops jumped into the mountains and fought guerrilla warfare with the imperial army, the superiority of the official army would not be reflected. He could only use his golden finger to not be afraid of the guerrilla warfare of the chieftain army. There is no need to prolong the war for a long time.

Another purpose is to conquer Dongwu and sweep away all dissatisfied people in the southwest.That's why he took charge of the conquest.

Seeing nearly 20 chieftain coalition troops in a mess, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head and smiled to Zheng Chongjian and Chen Qiyu and said, "It should be the two ministers who made the move. You can catch as much as you can!"

"Observe the order!" Chen Qiyu and Zheng Chongjian received the order in unison, and then waved their hands, leading the remaining troops under them, and started chasing the chieftain army that had already fled.

Emperor Chongzhen took another look at the battlefield, and found that the rebels had no power to fight back at all, and were even chased and beaten by those serfs who had deserted to fight. He pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and went to the barracks. Li Ruolian, the Commander of Jin Yiwei, said, "The weather here is warm, I'll take a nap first!"

"..." Li Ruolian didn't expect the emperor to say this, after a moment of stupefaction, he came back to his senses and immediately replied, "The last general will arrange it now!"

I think back then, when the emperor first fought against the Jianlu in Liaodong and besieged the slave chief Dorgon on Tashan Mountain, the emperor could go to bed calmly and calmly. Not to mention that now that the war has been decided, it is natural for the emperor to take a nap. bingo.

Li Ruolian thought so, but felt a little emotional in his heart.I originally thought that Yunnan was in chaos, with rebellions everywhere. The rebels even had more than 20 troops, and there were also foreign countries involved. It was estimated that there would be a big war to fight.If it doesn't work well, many people will die.

Unexpectedly, after following the emperor, he saw that the emperor first summoned doctors from neighboring provinces and equipped them with a lot in the army.And solicited the doctor's opinion, made a lot of measures to prevent acclimatization.Regarding the different climates and terrains in the north, a lot of preparations have been made, and the military has promulgated regulations to do ten things and ten things not to do, which really reduced the non-combat attrition of the imperial army to a minimum.

Not only that, the most critical step is to ensure that Kunming City can be defended. First, send out the troops and sneak attack the rebels' nest, and then approach Kunming for a decisive battle.Along the way, it was like traveling to Yunnan to play in the mountains and rivers, without encountering any particularly difficult things at all.

In today's battle, the general situation of the rebel army is gone, and the next step is to capture the remaining territory of the rebel chieftain, distribute the fields as before, and completely realize the matter of reforming the land and returning it to the people.

Thinking of this, Li Ruolian felt that no matter what matter fell into the hands of the emperor, he could turn major events into minor ones.For the emperor, there is nothing difficult!
Your Majesty, you are truly extraordinary!
…………

This battle lasted until the evening, and the court officers and soldiers chased for more than [-] miles. Except for the chieftain soldiers who fled into the mountains, most of the chieftain troops were killed or captured.

Chen Qiyu and Zheng Chongjian returned to the Chinese army camp and reported the battle situation to Emperor Chongzhen.In total, more than [-] enemies were killed, of which Dongwu's army accounted for more than half, and about [-] enemies were captured.Most of the remaining enemies fled into the mountains and forests, unable to pursue them because it was getting dark.

Most of the rebellious chieftains were killed, and some escaped.For example, Wu Bikui, Sha Dingzhou and others were all run away by them.However, the unexpected harvest is that they captured a few Xiyi, and after questioning, they found out that they were Frangji people.In addition, Dongwu's general Tai Taitun was captured alive.

As for the imperial officers and soldiers, the casualties were only about 1000, and most of them were wounded. Those who died in battle were really the unlucky ones.

If the war with such a loss ratio is changed from the previous one, it will inevitably cause all kinds of shocks.However, in the battles fought by Emperor Chongzhen's personal conquest, which battle did not have such a battle loss ratio?Whether it's the governor, the military general, or the soldiers of the three major battalions under the Jingying and Yumajian, it's not surprising.

To be honest, only those local guard troops under Chen Qiyu had their eyes opened for the first time.Surprised and admired, in exchange for the rare and strange meaning of the northern comrades.

According to the information detected before Yebushou, there are only about 5 rebels outside Kunming.In this regard, Zheng Chongjian said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, tomorrow you can take advantage of the victory and march, and if you attack Kunming's army from inside and outside, you will surely win. The only thing to worry about is the more than [-] rebels scattered into the mountains. Army. If we don’t pursue and suppress them, I’m afraid that if the imperial army leaves, it will bring disaster to the local area. But if we pursue and suppress them, not only will it be difficult to pursue and suppress them, but the casualties will probably be huge!”

I have to say that what Zheng Chongjian said made sense, and Chen Qiyu who was beside him also nodded in agreement.Seriously, his skull hurts a bit.

He is the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and it can be predicted that if Emperor Chongzhen leads the army to return triumphantly, then he will also stay to deal with the affairs of Yunnan and Guizhou.For so many rebels scattered into the mountains, there are always a group of them in the east and a group in the west. He really has a headache. Although he is not afraid that they will make the momentum like they are now, but he does not know how much it will cost to wipe them out. Manpower, powerlessness, financial resources!
