I'm really not the carpenter emperor

The Ming army chose to camp in the open area behind the mountain. The front mountain is a natural barrier. If there is an invasion by the rebels, there is enough space and time to react and fight back.

On this day, Lu Qin and the generals, all in armor, gathered around a detailed map of Sichuan in the big tent, and began to analyze the current situation of the rebels and what measures should be taken to deal with them.

Lu Qin, courtesy name Chengyu, was born in Changqing, Jinan.Born in a family of military generals, he inherited his father's position when he was young, and became a military Jinshi as a military guard.

During the Wanli period, he was promoted to be the deputy commander-in-chief of Shanxi. At the beginning of the first year of Tianqi, he was promoted to the deputy commander of the Shenji Battalion. Soon after, he was appointed as the governor, moved to Baoding as the commander-in-chief, and repelled the Mongolian cavalry several times.

Since receiving the order from the imperial court, Lu Qin never dared to be negligent, and mobilized 20 to [-] Ming troops from the four provinces at the fastest speed, claiming to be [-] troops, to rescue Sichuan in a mighty manner.

The three major Wanli campaigns may seem far away, but in real terms, the Battle of Bozhou was more than ten years ago.

The imperial treasury was exhausted, and this Lu Qin also knew that to pacify the southwest, we must try our best to settle it as quickly as possible.

Regarding the current situation in the Southwest, Lu Qin first conducted a careful analysis and divided the entire Sichuan battle into four rounds.

The first round was from the seventh day of April to the middle of May. At that time, the emperor's will had not yet reached the southwest, and She Chongming was already brewing a rebellion.

In Lu Qin's view, the imperial court failed to nip the rebellion in its cradle in time, and lost a game first, and it became a dangerous situation.

The second round is from mid-May to June [-]th.

At this stage, if Sichuan has strong military equipment, it is entirely possible to effectively contain the rebels at an early stage, and wait for reinforcements to enter Sichuan to calm down in one fell swoop.

However, after years of conscription, the total number of Ming troops in Sichuan was less than half that of the rebels.When Lu Qin's enlistment was completed and his troops headed south, except for a corner in eastern Sichuan, the situation in Sichuan was completely tilted toward the rebels.

Surrounding Chongqing, attacking Hejiang, and smashing Luzhou. In more than a month, the rebel army broke through more than [-] counties and counties.

The rebel army is in full swing, and if the court loses another game, it will be a bad game.

The third round is from June [-] to early August.

During this period, the Shui'an family had not yet rebelled, and although Chengdu and Chongqing were besieged, they did not fall.

As for the imperial court, Lu Qin's [-] reinforcements mobilized from Yunnan had already entered Sichuan first, joined forces with Du Wenhuan, the Sichuan general, and defeated She Chongming's younger brother She'an's Western Front rebels in the first battle.

This third game is the key to the game between Lu Qin and She Chongming.

Dangerous situation, bad situation, if there is another loss in the third game, Sichuan will become an endgame, and in the fourth game, the situation will be turned upside down again.

……

A few days ago, the more than [-] Ming troops under Zhang Xun, the governor of Yunnan, and Du Wenhuan, the general of Sichuan, encountered the rebels on the western front of She'an just as they joined forces.

The Ming army intended to pacify the Southwest, while the rebel army fought successively and their morale was high. The two sides immediately started a big battle.

In this battle, arrows flew horizontally and shouts shook the sky. In the end, She'an was outflanked and encircled by Du Wenhuan and Zhang Xun, and fled to Sanshebao in embarrassment.

When receiving the news, She Chongming was fighting Qin Liangyu in Eastern Sichuan. Qin Liangyu had excellent tactics, and the white soldiers were all brave.

Although She Chongming had the upper hand in numbers, he was stuck in a quagmire, unable to advance or retreat.She'an had no choice but to deal with the pursuit of the officers and soldiers by himself.

Zhang Xun and Du Wenhuan camped in the northwest three miles away from Sanshebao. Close to the foot of a small earth ridge, there is a dilapidated mountain temple.

At this time, the two were discussing matters in the temple.

"How's the news? Where did the rebels flee?" Zhang Xun looked at the returning sentry cavalry with a low voice.

"I didn't see a single Han Chinese citizen on the road, but there were quite a few native people, but when they saw that our army was attacking, they kept silent."

The sentry cavalry had nothing to do, and sighed: "I didn't get the news, but because of the surprise attack by the natives, a brother was lost."

"These natives!"

Zhang Xun was furious immediately, picked up the knife and wanted to go out, "I will lead the soldiers to slaughter the village in front, so that they dare to oppose the court!"

"Come back!" Du Wenhuan frowned, "Tuzhai, are you stupid?"

"Do you think it will be difficult for the army to move an inch in the future?"

"The rebels are just spreading rumors among the natives, saying that our officers and soldiers plundered the villages. Wouldn't this push the local natives to them?"

"Use your brain, don't be impulsive!"

After all, Du Wenhuan was at the first level of the general soldier. Seeing that he hadn't even pulled him, Zhang Xun felt disheartened. After standing for a while, he sat back with a cold snort.

"Then what do you say?" Zhang Xun sneered.

Du Wenhuan didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in his words, but looked down at the wrinkled map on the table, and said:

"Now it seems that She Yin should have entered Sanshe Castle."

Zhang Xun didn't take it seriously, "Sanshebao is surrounded by plains, if you enter there, could it be that this Sheyin is a stupid pig?"

While discussing, a sentry in front of them suddenly reported back.

"To the two generals, the rebels have entered Sanshe Fort, but... there seems to be a disagreement, and one of them has gone south!"

"Haha, this is God helping Daming!" Zhang Xun got up immediately and said, "Let's divide up the troops, I'll go after the South Road, and you go to surround Sanshe Fort!"

Du Wenhuan glanced at him, but did not speak.

Subconsciously, he also knew that staying with this guy was uncomfortable, so he didn't think much about it and let him go.

When the [-] Ming troops detected a disagreement among the rebels, they also split into two and chased after each other.

The sun was shining brightly, the sky was warm and the sun was warm, and nearly ten thousand Ming troops were marching towards Sanshe Fort under the leadership of General Du Wenhuan, with cavalry in front and infantry behind.

At noon, Du Wenhuan ordered the troops to take a short rest and move on.

Along the way, I passed several Han villages, all of which were empty and ruined, which made Du Wenhuan terrified and secretly clenched his fists.

Before dusk, the cavalry of the Ming army first arrived at the south of Sanshe Fort. Sure enough, they could see a little bit of fire in the city from a distance, as if the rebels were cooking.

"Siege! Defeat the rebels in one battle!"

Du Wenhuan was riding on the horse, waving the whip in his hand, and with an order, countless Ming troops moved forward one after another. On the hillside, the artillery that had been erected earlier was also fired neatly.

The footsteps and horseshoes of the army in the wilderness not only show military discipline, but also look majestic and majestic.

Every once in a while, around Du Wenhuan, a personal soldier would gallop down to make arrangements in all directions.

However, when Du Wenhuan was triumphant and directed a large-scale attack on Sanshe Fort, Zhang Xun, who was on the other way, underestimated the enemy and went deep and was surrounded by the rebels.

Five li outside the west gate of Sanshe Fort, the battle drums were like thunder, and the infantry and cavalry of the chieftain army were in order, shouting from several places and rushing towards the chaotic Ming army, and there was no sign of a rout.

"It's hit!"

In the dark, there were shouts everywhere, and it was impossible to know how many rebels there were.Without any hesitation, Zhang Xun left the front cavalry who were still fighting hard, and turned his horse back.

In his heart, other people's lives are not as important as his own.

However, after walking a few steps, countless black shadows rushed out from all around, and a brave chieftain soldier threw him off his horse directly.

After all, Zhang Xun was also a military general who came all the way up, so he immediately turned around and fought with the native soldier. After a while, he found a loophole and stabbed him to death.

Wiping the blood off his face casually, Zhang Xun didn't feel lucky at all. He was at a loss looking at the chaos in the night.

"How many people are here?"

Zhang Xun walked all the way, just to find a horse.When he killed a rebel cavalry with his bare hands and got on his horse, this idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Should I inform Du Wenhuan..."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xun sneered, turned around and ran away.

Fleeing back, who knows if there is an ambush on the road?It's better to take care of yourself first, keep the green hills, and don't worry about no firewood!

Chapter 1 Counter-insurgency Third Game

"Come on, put them all on me!"

Guiyang General Soldier Du Wenhuan saw that the sky was getting darker, and for some reason, he felt a little worried. He shouted, and personally led the servants who were planning to hold the line last, and forced them up.

At this time, the nearly Wanming army that besieged Sanshe Fort was all on top, attacking the last stronghold of the rebels from all directions.

In the pitch-black night sky, the fierce shouts of killing never stopped. The rebels were still fighting among the beasts, and everyone was brave. Every time the Ming army took a step forward, they would drop several corpses.

After all, Sanshe Fort is not a strong city with strong defenses. It is just a stronghold established on the plain, and there are not many defensive equipment.

After suffering hundreds of casualties, the Ming army was able to fight in close combat. They jumped to the top of the city and began a brutal hand-to-hand fight with the rebels.

All of a sudden, short limbs flew across, and Ming soldiers were kicked down by the rebels one after another, falling to the ground and dying immediately.

There were also rebels who were hacked to death by the swarming Ming army, without even uttering a scream.

Sheyin at the top of the city looked at the Ming army encircling him from all directions, and couldn't help feeling anxious, so he swears, "Damn it, why hasn't Amai come back!?"

It turned out that She Yin and his chieftain, A Mai, had never had any disagreements. This was just a temporary counterattack by the two of them in the face of a large number of people chasing the Ming army.

At first, when he learned that the Ming army had been fooled and divided his troops to pursue, She Yin didn't care about the conflict between Du Wenhuan and Zhang Xun, he just thought that this battle could be fought.

The hunting wind blows sand and gravel and slaps Du Wenhuan on the face.

The Sichuan general of the Ming Dynasty became more and more uneasy. He pulled off the obstructive bag on his shoulders, threw it under his feet, and turned his head to look behind him in the darkness.

"Why hasn't there been any news from Zhang Xun..."

"Although they can't see each other, he shouldn't only care about himself and mess up the overall situation in such a major matter as counter-insurgency."

Soon, Du Wenhuan knew how naive it was to comfort himself just now.

With the sound of a drum, countless rebels armed with knives and guns rushed out of the night with fierce faces. They were already covered in blood, as if they had just experienced a war.

The plain in the middle of the night is endless darkness. The blood of thousands of rebels who came to support the Ming army once again moistened the dry land of Sichuan.

The Ming army, which originally had the upper hand, was encircled by an unknown number of rebels, and suddenly fell into a disadvantage.

The rebels guarding the fort, seeing that the reinforcements had arrived, all of them became extremely courageous, and went out to meet them head-on, killing the Ming army by surprise.

This is already the case ahead, and the city is in a dilemma.

In particular, Du Wenhuan and his servants, who were in charge of the battle, became the front line when facing the attacking rebels behind them, and were caught by Chieftain Ah Mai's team.

Hearing the noise and panic coming from the Ming army's rear, She Yin, who was sitting in a lonely city, soon burst into laughter.He knew that he defeated the Ming army with fewer victories and more defeats, and he won!

Originally, Governor Lu Qin sent two generals Du Wenhuan and Zhang Xun to pursue the rebels under Sheyin's troops with superior forces, but he never expected to lose.

Just when he was making a decision for the third round, he planned to put down the chaos in Sichuan in one go.On the side of Sanshe Fort, more than [-] Ming troops have already been defeated by Sheyin's thousands of rebels.

After the war, Sheyin and Chieftain Amai looked at each other and grinned wantonly.

At first they thought they were done playing, but they didn't expect that Zhang Xun was only concerned with running away by himself, and never thought of sending someone to notify Du Wenhuan.

Until that time, Du Wenhuan's troops were actually slightly superior. If Zhang Xun sent someone to notify, the former could definitely send out part of the troops, so the situation would not be certain.

If there was no war, Zhang Xun fled by himself, ruining a large force of 2 Ming troops in this way.

After receiving the severed head from his subordinate, She Yin lifted it up and laughed wildly: "This is the Sichuan General Soldier of the Ming Dynasty!"

"The next one is Luqin!"

Immediately, the rebels raised their arms and rejoiced.

More than [-] Ming troops were defeated by thousands of rebels in the Battle of Sanshebao.

When the news spread to the rear, Lu Qin was shocked. Before he could make a corresponding strategy, he heard the news that a battalion of reinforcements dispatched from Yunnan collapsed without a fight under the fear of the general.

In addition, the hearts of tens of thousands of soldiers in the rear were shaken, and they had lost their morale before they left the army.

……

"kill!"

Qin Liangyu slashed his sword and immediately landed on the small slope. Behind him, there were thousands of white-armed soldiers with clear banners waiting in formation.

They stared blankly at the rebels on the opposite side, as if they were looking at a group of dead people.

With an order, the white-armed soldiers marched in orderly steps, approaching the more than [-] rebels of She Chongming.

"Whoever captures Qin Liangyu alive will be rewarded with a hundred gold, and the land will be sealed!" She Chongming was naturally not to be outdone, and immediately ordered a large-scale attack, "Destroy Qin Liangyu!!"

The reward was so high that the rebels, who were known to be afraid of the prestige of white soldiers, burst out with extremely high fighting spirit.

Amidst the fierce battle drums, the spears of the white-armed soldiers kept stabbing back and forth, the two sides crowded on the plain, and the smell of blood spread unstoppably.

Not long after, the white-armed soldiers were rushed out of a gap by the brave rebels, and countless rebels rushed in, but what was waiting for them was the pro-army of the female general Qin Liangyu.

Qin Liangyu slashed to death a chieftain chieftain who had killed several white soldiers in a row before, and shouted loudly: "Be loyal to the country, suppress the rebellion!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Qin Liangyu took the lead and aroused the unparalleled fighting spirit of the white soldiers.

Soon, the chopped pieces of the rebels who rushed in flew all over the place, and escaped from the formation of white soldiers regardless of their care, but crowded together with their own troops who were moving forward.

The white soldiers chased them and strung them into candied haws.
