505 [Chain Reaction]

An Rupan was sitting in Song's North Yamen, and could vaguely hear the crackling of gunshots.

He was a little restless, thinking that his son had been ambushed.

But he was lucky, because the Datong Army was surrounding the two chain villages, and it was impossible to allocate too many troops to ambush them.

At night, he ordered his troops and horses in advance, waiting for news of his son's night attack, planning to stage a good show of attacking from both front and rear.

I waited and waited, but if there was no movement, something must have happened to my son.

The next day, morning.

There was a noise outside the village, and a soldier rushed over in panic: "Your Majesty, your... Your Majesty has been defeated!"

An Rupan walked out quickly, only to see thousands of prisoners being escorted outside, all dressed as soldiers of the An clan.

A horseman ran out, approached the gate of the village, and shouted: "An Rupan, your reinforcements have been defeated, and the whole army has been wiped out. Surrender quickly, and I will spare your life!"

The Yi and Miao people around Guiyang have a very high level of Chinese proficiency and can fully understand this sentence. At this moment, their faces turned pale with fear.

An Rupan felt regretful in his heart. He should not have come to Shuidongsi. The Song family surrendered whenever they wanted. He should have held on to Guiyang City. Even if he was also besieged, Guiyang City's walls were tall and tall, so it was better than being trapped in this shabby place.

The place is better.

After careful identification, it was discovered that the son was not captured, and the Datong Army did not obtain his head.

Fortunately, his son is not dead. He probably fled back to Guiyang with his troops, and he still has bargaining chips.

An Rupan put on full body armor, cautiously approached the village gate, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "The commander-in-chief of your army comes forward to speak!"

Fei Yinggon rode forward slowly and said angrily: "If you fart, hurry up. If you want to throw it, hurry up."

An Rupan knew that it was impossible to continue to be a chieftain, so he offered a price and said: "Sixty-four villages in Shuixi are willing to surrender, and I don't expect to continue to be a chieftain. I just hope that after I change my native land and return to my hometown, I can be a hereditary native."

Also, all Anjia’s slaves can be freed, but Anjia’s land cannot be distributed. How about that?”

Fei Yinggong smiled and said, "You know very clearly about our military affairs."

An Rupan continued: "The fighting between the two armies will only increase casualties. Why don't we each take a step back? As long as you agree to my conditions, not only the land west of Shui and east of Shui will be owned by the Datong Army, but I, the local soldiers from Shui, will also help you to pacify Guizhou.

!”

Give up the position of chieftain, free all the serfs, just to keep the land, and become a hereditary chieftain again.

An Rupan felt that he was very sincere and would agree to this negotiation condition no matter which emperor he replaced. An Rupan's submission would mean that most of Guizhou would submit.

Didn’t the Manchus in history just agree? And they also let Anjia continue to make toast.

"Stubborn!"

Fei Yinggon rode back and said to the messenger: "Continue the bombardment!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The artillery fire immediately started, and the soldiers guarding the fortress became demoralized.

Most of them were not regular soldiers. They usually farmed at home. They were besieged and bombarded for half a month. The reinforcements were defeated by the Datong Army. There was no hope of victory in sight.

"Your Majesty, Song Siding is clamoring to see you."

"You're still restless now, bring him here!"

An Rupan was disturbed by the sound of cannons. He suffered heavy losses the previous time and did not dare to lead his troops to fight out again. Now he could only listen to the sound of cannons every day.

Song Siding, a young man in his twenties, was dragged in front of An Rupan and said with a sad face: "Uncle, please surrender, otherwise the An and Song families may be annihilated."

"Surrender, surrender, surrender, you only know how to surrender," An Rupan said angrily, "If only you, the Song family, had tried your best, you wouldn't have been killed all the way to the Song family's Beiya. I had to bring troops to rescue you, and now the whole country

Trapped in your Song family village!"

Song Siding thought to himself, you didn't come to save me, you came to harm me, and you put me under house arrest as soon as you came.

Song Siding wiped his tears and said: "Uncle, my nephew really doesn't dare to fight against the heavenly soldiers again. Twenty-one years ago, my father was beheaded by the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers; fourteen years ago, my brother was also beheaded by the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers. The current Datong army,

But they are more powerful than the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, so how can we defeat them? My uncle will surrender, my nephew still wants to save his life."

This guy's father and brother were both beheaded by officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty because they rebelled. The man who beheaded his brother was an old acquaintance of Zhao Han - Jiangxi Governor Zhu Xieyuan.

The chieftain of the Shuidong Song clan was also converted to local status by Zhu Xieyuan. Not to mention that his official position and territory were not preserved, and even a lot of land was divided.

Seeing the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Song Siding was deceived by An Rupan, so he led the remaining forces to raise an army and re-proclaimed himself Shuidong Chieftain. He was just living his life, and no matter who came to fight, he would definitely surrender.

An Rupan angrily scolded: "An unworthy thing!"

Song Siding knelt down, hugging his stable legs, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Uncle, my nephew really doesn't want to die. When my father was beheaded, my nephew was young and didn't remember anything. But when my brother was beheaded, my nephew

But I remember it clearly. The head was hung on display outside the Bei Yamen, with the eyes kept open. My nephew was so frightened that he didn't have a good sleep for half a year. If he didn't surrender, my nephew...my nephew would have his head moved too! Woo hoo!

Woohoo..."

An Rupan was upset by crying and ordered: "Here comes someone, take this bastard and lock him up!"

"Uncle, surrender quickly, otherwise we won't survive..." Song Siding was dragged out, and his cries gradually faded away.

The Song family still had thousands of remnant soldiers, who were forced to fight by An Rupan, and were now thinking about how to surrender.

After the chieftains of the Song family were repatriated, they were only allowed to retain a small amount of land. Some of the land confiscated by the court was occupied by eunuchs and civil servants, some were taken away by newly relocated military households, some were given to local Han people, and some scraps were left over.

Zhuang people (including Buyi people) and Miao people.

The remnant soldiers of the Song family all belonged to the Buyi ethnic group, but there was no such thing as the Buyi ethnic group at this time. They were always regarded as the Zhuang ethnic group, and were collectively referred to as the Miao people by the court.

After being repatriated, these Buyi soldiers were also allocated a small amount of land.

Song Siding came back a few years ago and took back all the land. They already had resentment in their hearts. But at least the Song family has prestige in Shuidong, and the local soldiers will admit it no matter how resentful they are. Who do you think you are? You are just a piece of water.

The chieftain from the west actually came to Shuidong to force everyone to fight!

"When the Han soldiers come, surrender. Don't sacrifice your life for a man named An."

"I'm afraid that Han soldiers will break through the stronghold and kill us all."

"If we fall quickly, we won't kill them. Regardless of whether it's the Ming Dynasty or Datong, the Han soldiers are all the same. As long as we fall quickly and help the Han soldiers fetch the Western troops, we can probably still make meritorious deeds."

"Why don't we do the opposite tonight?"

"The Shuixi soldiers are very strict and will not let us guard the gate of the village. We will wait until the Han soldiers come in. If the Han soldiers come, we will rebel inside."

"..."

Thousands of Shuidong soldiers secretly communicated and decided to defect, waiting for a good opportunity to rebel.

The time will come soon.

"Woooooo~~~~"

At midnight that night, the sound of a horn horn suddenly came from the mountain behind Beiya.

An Rupan sat up suddenly, rushed out of the house with weapons in hand, and called a trusted general: "Quickly lead troops to the mountains for support!"

The sound of the horn is the warning sounded by the garrison on the mountain.

An Rupan guards two chain villages with a valley in the middle and high mountains and cliffs on both sides of the valley. Generally speaking, no one would climb those steep cliffs, but to be cautious, An Rupan still left some troops behind.

Stationed on the top of the mountain.

The horn horns were heard from the top of the mountain, and it was obvious that the Datong Army had successfully climbed the mountain!

Guangxi formed mountain troops, and of course Sichuan also had them. And the troops were led by two brothers. The leader of the mountain troops in Guangxi was Qin Gongming, and the leader of the Sichuan mountain troops was Qin Yiming. They were both nephews of Qin Liangyu.

Qin Yiming followed Qin Liangyu and put down the She'an Rebellion. He also followed Lu Xiangsheng and defeated Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng. He was definitely battle-hardened.

After pacifying the southwest this time, Qin Yiming will probably be promoted to the rank of major general based on his military exploits.

"Kill the thief!"

On the top of the mountain, Qin Yiming, carrying his family's long spear, rushed towards the Shuixi native soldiers stationed here in the dark.

More than thirty people climbed up from the cliff and were discovered by Shuixi soldiers.

There were more than a thousand chieftain soldiers, but they were scattered everywhere and it was difficult to gather quickly in the middle of the night. Now that his whereabouts were exposed, Qin Yiming no longer hesitated and killed them with more than thirty people.

At the moment of engagement, the enemy army collapsed, mainly because it was too sudden. The soldiers were unprepared and did not even know how many enemies were coming up the mountain.

Qin Yiming didn't have time to wait for all the soldiers to go up the mountain. About fifty people climbed up, and he chased towards the defeated soldiers. Near the side of the stockade, there was a small road that could go up and down. There were more than a thousand Shuixi native soldiers, and Qin Yiming led fifty of them.

Chase and kill.

Due to the narrow and steep mountain road, Shuixi native soldiers scrambled to escape. Pushing each other, dozens of them rolled and fell.

The reinforcements sent by An Rupan met the defeated troops halfway up the mountain.

"How many enemies have come?"

"I don't know, I'm afraid there are thousands... Oh, don't push me!"

"Kill the thief, kill the thief!"

"Run quickly!"

The fifty people around Qin Yiming were chasing and shouting. The Datong army who climbed up the mountain later, although the distance was still quite far, also responded and shouted together.

To the Shuixi soldiers, the top of the mountain seemed to be full of enemies, and they wished their parents had two more legs.

In the chaos, the Shuixi soldiers who went up the mountain to rescue also turned around and ran down the mountain. Because the path was too narrow and there were broken soldiers blocking them, they had no way to go up the mountain. Moreover, broken soldiers were crushed from time to time, and they were forced to roll down the mountain.

The screams combined with the shouts of killing terrified the reinforcements.

The reinforcements were originally retreating, retreating and retreating, but inexplicably they turned into a rout.

"The Han soldiers are coming to kill! The Han soldiers are coming to kill!"

After these broken soldiers rushed down the mountain, the entire military camp was thrown into chaos.

"kill!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Outside the stockade, Fei Yingcong was also sending troops to cooperate. Although the artillery had not been launched yet and it was impossible to hit the stockade wall, he still fired randomly into the mountains, purely to use the sound of the cannon to increase its power.

"The Han soldiers are coming, let's rebel!"

The Shuidong native soldiers, who were mainly Buyi and Miao ethnic groups, felt that they had an opportunity to rebel. They formed small teams based on their close neighbor relations. They did not directly attack and kill, but set their own barracks on fire.

Then he rushed out and set fire everywhere.

After the formation was established, the Shuixi native soldiers felt that there were enemies everywhere, and they didn't know where to go if they wanted to escape.

"Escape to the opposite village!"

Finally, a clever little kid remembered that this was a chain village and he could go to another village through the valley.

More and more broken troops spontaneously fled towards the valley, and even An Rupan was dragged there. It was impossible to gather troops, the military camp was in chaos, and the Shuixi soldiers completely lost their organization.

Fei Yinggon led his troops into the stronghold, and Qin Yiming also came from the mountain. Thousands of Shuidong soldiers who had turned against them knelt down and asked to surrender when they saw them.

Fei Yinggon left several hundred men to guard the surrendering troops, and then led his troops to pursue them into the valley.

On the other side of the valley, the defenders in the village were awakened. Listening to the shouts in the valley coming from far and near, it was obvious that they were coming towards them. They thought they had been killed over there.

"Boom boom boom!"

After hearing the noise, the Datong Army here also fired randomly, and the shells hit who knows where.

But the enemies in the stronghold became even more panicked when they heard the sound of cannons, thinking that they were being attacked from both sides.

So, the camp was blown up.

The soldiers in Shuixi ran around and screamed unconsciously. They didn't know what they were doing. They just ran around and screamed wildly. They even forgot to climb over the wall of the village to escape.

An Rupan was blocked between the valley and the stockade by the rebels. Listening to the chaotic shouts, he knew that he was completely doomed.

He pulled out his sword and planned to commit suicide.

As soon as he drew the knife and put it on his neck, An Rupan was pushed down by the insurgents, and his back was stepped on several times. The guy subconsciously crawled to avoid it, and after being stepped on and breaking his wrist, he finally climbed to a place close to the mountain wall.

I no longer get stepped on, but An Rupan always feels aggrieved.

Even if you can't commit suicide, and you don't know where the sword fell, who do you think you are, the King of Guizhou?
