Chapter 280 The Sword Points at Japan (7) The Great Victory at Loushanguan!
When the important officials of the two provinces of Sichuan and Guizhou set their sights on the location of Loushanguan Pass on the Kan map, the Ming army from Liu Wei, Ma Lin, and Ma Zhen happened to be stationed near Loushanguan Pass.
Loushanguan is located among the main peaks of Loushan Mountain. It blocks Bashu in the north and Qiangui in the south. It is the throat of northern Guizhou. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. There are thousands of peaks in the pass, many mountains and cliffs.
The ax is like a halberd, piercing the sky. If you have a satellite map at this time, you can see that it is actually a Guancheng built on a canyon trail between dangerous mountains.
[Note: Recommend a B-site video, "Sand Table Deduction: The Most Detailed Dismantling of the Long March and the Most Showy Battle in the History of the Fourth Crossing of Chishui (Part 2)", UP Master: War on the Sand Table. The satellite map attached to this video allows you to see Loushan in detail
Guan and the surrounding terrain, and the video itself is also very well done. As a viewer, I would like to express my gratitude to him here. By the way, I can’t help but praise: Crossing Chishui four times, military history is a god!]
Liu Wei explained to the two of them in front of the map: "Loushanguan Pass can be opened by one man and cannot be opened by ten thousand men. It is the most difficult to defend and difficult to attack. This is the most dangerous point in northern Guizhou. Thousands of peaks reach into the sky, and there is a line of communication in the middle. But it is also difficult to attack."
Because of this, once the Loushan Pass is lost, Bozhou will be completely unsafe.
Therefore, our army cannot attack by force this time. We need to divide two groups of surprise troops on the left and right to climb up the rock from the small road and then penetrate directly behind Loushanguan! In this way, we can attack the enemy from both inside and outside and defeat the enemy on three sides. Loushanguan can be broken." [Note: Bozhou.
That is, in later Zunyi, Hailongtun, Yang Yinglong’s hometown, was located in the Shuanglong Group of Hailongtun Village, Gaoping Town, Huichuan District, Zunyi City.]
Ma Lin looked at the Kan map carefully, and couldn't help but feel worried, and said hesitantly: "There are high cliffs on both sides of Loushan Pass. Even if Brother Liu's troops climb mountains and cross water as if they are walking on flat ground, they can climb up, and then go down to Lou.
But mountain passes are easier said than done. Wouldn't this be a waste of soldiers' lives? How about luring the enemy out of the pass and then annihilating them, and then using firearms to break through the gates and annihilate the remaining enemies?"
Liu Wei smiled and said: "Brother Ma's plan is not impossible, but it is too time-consuming. Moreover, Loushanguan is crucial to Bozhou. If I cannot capture it immediately, the rebel reinforcements will definitely arrive, and it will be even more difficult then."
Capture.
Brother Ma, I think that since Loushan Pass is dangerous, it is even more important to attack it from unexpected places in order to defeat it in one fell swoop. As for how to attack the pass from the cliff, I have my own method, please wait and see, Brother Ma."
Ma Lin is the third son of Ma Fang. He has been mainly trained in riding since he was a child, and the second is defending the city. However, he has little experience in fighting in such dangerous places in the mountains. At this moment, he actually feels that conquering Loushanguan is almost impossible.
There is no explanation, but since what Liu Wei said is so confident, we have no choice but to listen to it.
On the 29th, the Ming army formed an array at Dajingkou outside the Loushan Pass. They saw a high wall built with rocks and large timber at Dajingkou. There were fourteen wooden fences, deep ditches on both sides, and traps and roadblocks everywhere outside the pass.
There were buried wooden piles and bamboo sticks, and there were many obstacles. There were also three sentry towers, which were specially set up for delaying the offensive.
The three generals Liu Wei, Ma Lin and Ma Zhen were sitting in front of the formation, with the capital commander Wang Fen as the vanguard, commanding the Ming army to dismantle the roadblocks along the way. The Ming army was divided into four formations. The first formation was responsible for demolishing the roadblocks and opening the passage, and there were also shields.
The second formation follows up and is ready to charge; the third formation is equipped with firearms, and the No. 3 cannon with a longer range is responsible for shelling the gate tower to cover the advance of the first formation; the fourth formation is equipped with muskets and crossbows.
Arranged around the third formation, one was to prevent the enemy's surprise attack on the artillery array, and the other was to cover the artillery and other offensive weapons by shooting at the enemy in the tower.
Although the Bozhou army did not have the advantage of firearms, they still had arrows like rain. The Ming army's advance was blocked. Even if there were shields to resist, many Ming soldiers were killed by arrows, and some fell into traps by mistake.
Fortunately, the Ming Army's firearms battalion provided timely cover, and the artillery team quickly suppressed the wall. The musketry team advanced to shoot, and the crossbow team held the line at intervals. However, the Bozhou Army lacked experience in fighting firearms. In the Ming Army's offensive with roaring artillery and dense clusters of projectiles and arrows,
Next, Yang Zhaolin, the leader of Bozhou's army, was shot. Tiao Tiao, Zhao Zhai and others were all killed on the spot, and the defenders suffered many casualties. Wang Fen, the commander of the capital, led the Ming army to take advantage of the situation and attack nearly ten fences in a row, and the vanguard broke into the foot of Loushan Pass.
.
When the vanguard of the Ming army and the Bozhou army were fighting fiercely in front of the pass, Liu Wei had already separated into two groups of troops, each with 2,500 soldiers. Among them, the one who opened the way was none other than Liu Jiajun's world-famous elite servant Jieng Wayi Ding.
Both armies brought their own rations. Under the guidance of their guides, they entered from the trails on both sides of Loushanguan. They cut down trees to clear the way, climbed up vines, and detoured toward the rear of Loushanguan.
Because the mountain is extremely dangerous and there are many cliffs along the way, the Ming army accidentally fell off the cliff and many of them died. The guide of Ming Miao repeatedly warned that they must be extremely cautious, must not be impatient, and must remember the route they have drawn. At this time, everyone discovered
The roads in the mountains are extremely narrow and can only be passed by one person in many places. Even though the Liu Jiajun is famous for its mountain warfare, it is difficult to move at this time. Many people are inevitably a little panicked, so that their progress is slow and frightening at every step.
Along the way, the mountains were sometimes filled with clouds and fog, and sometimes strong winds struck. The Ming army, under the command of their guides, clung to the vine rocks when encountering strong winds, and rested on the spot when encountering clouds and fog, waiting for the clouds to clear. Even so, there were still some
The soldiers of the Ming army were unlucky and fell down the mountain without any bones left.
Fortunately, after going through many hardships, Liu Jiajun lived up to expectations and actually climbed down the vine. The left and right paths finally circled to the back of Loushanguan Pass.
In addition to the two groups of surprise troops, Liu Wei also divided another group from the Woodcutter Trail on the right side of Loushanguan to cross Xiaolou Mountain and secretly marched towards Baishikou to prevent the Bozhou Army from sneak attack. The three groups of surprise troops finally met at Baishikou.
The Ming army left one group to guard Baishikou, and the other two groups began to attack from behind Loushanguan.
At this time, a fierce battle was still going on in front of Loushan Pass. All fourteen fences had been demolished by the Ming army, and all traps had been eliminated. The main force of the Ming army rushed in. The Bozhou army defended the gate tightly, and their bows and crossbows were about to run out of arrows. Due to the loss of their crossbows,
They did not dare to wait for the Ming army with artillery to approach and bombard Guancheng, so they had no choice but to divide half of their troops and go out to fight.
When Liu Wei and Ma Lin saw the enemy troops coming out of the pass, they couldn't help but get excited and ordered a charge. Liu Wei, Ma Lin, and Ma Zhen also mounted their horses and went out to fight. Liu Wei was still the same Liu Wei, and without saying a word, he charged in with his sword.
The enemy formation immediately overran several people, and the surrounding Miao soldiers swarmed forward. Liu Ling was better at fighting on foot than on horseback, so he got off his horse to avoid the cluster of spears, slashed with his sword across all directions, and killed five Miao soldiers in just a few moves.
Because he killed people so quickly, the surrounding Miao soldiers did not dare to approach him for a while.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, some of the Miao soldiers actually knew Liu Wei. After seeing who was coming, they were frightened and exclaimed: "Liu's sword is coming, it is difficult to resist, Bozhou is over!"
"The surrounding Bozhou troops heard that Liu Wei had been killed in front of them, and their momentum suddenly declined.
Ma Lin was a cavalry general. Although large groups of cavalry could not be used at this time, small groups of cavalry could still be used. One of the specialties of a cavalry general was his accurate grasp of the instantaneous battle situation. At this time, he saw Liu Wei
His reputation was so shocking that the momentum of the Bozhou Army was instantly reduced. He immediately knew that the opportunity had come, and his own Dingma troops suddenly joined the battle. They rushed left and right, attacking repeatedly. The Bozhou Army that had left the border quickly became a mess.
At this time, the strange troops attacked Loushanguan from the rear. The defenders of Loushanguan had already lost half their strength after seeing Liu Wei outside the pass. Now that they learned that the back road was lost, they immediately lost all fighting spirit and abandoned the pass and fled in all directions.
The Ming army tried to cover up the enemy again and rushed through Loushanguan in one go to pursue the victory until they reached Yong'an Village before giving up.
At this time, Ma Lin was convinced of Liu Wei and praised highly: "Brother Liu is really brave enough to win the three armies, and his troops are like tigers in the mountains, unstoppable. The Loushan Pass is full of dangerous mountains, how could the Liu family's army defeat them in such a short time?"
I can't even imagine finding a way inside, climbing over it, or even outflanking it with three surprise troops.
Liu Jiajun's battle today must have made the rebels know what a heavenly soldier is. As for Brother Liu himself, he is even more brave and invincible. As soon as the name of Liu Dadao was called out, the momentum of the entire Bozhou army weakened by three points. This shows that Brother Liu defeated Jiu in the past.
Silk, how majestic and majestic he is when he controls all the barbarians, it makes people yearn to think about it."
Liu Wei laughed and said: "Brother Ma is too praised. I joined the army with my father when I was young. It has been more than thirty years now. Since I am not dead, I have to make a name for myself. However, the Liu Jiajun is good at walking and the Ma Jiajun is good at riding. This is not good.
Let’s talk about it from one point of view.
I heard that the Marquis has an idea. After the war in Korea and Bozhou, the imperial army will hold "three major competitions". One year, the Northern Army will compete, one year the Southern Army will compete, and one year the Northern and Southern armies will compete. At that time,
In the great competition between the North and the South, the cavalry side also asks Brother Ma not to hold anything back, but to give some examples of the arrogant soldiers under my command, lest these bastards sit in a well and watch the sky, not knowing that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky."
Ma Lin also laughed and said: "Same, same, when the infantry battle competition comes, brother Liu, please don't be afraid of hurting your younger brother's face, just hit him hard and dampen the spirit of the Ma family army's arrogance.
To be honest, since the great victory over Yuan Dynasty, the Nine Sides Cavalry are now looking higher and higher. They really think that they are invincible in the world, but they don’t know that without the Marquis’ strategizing, we are afraid that we will still be defeated by the Mongols.
People are attacking from time to time, which makes us miserable."
The two of them complimented each other a few times, and Liu Wei turned back to the topic and said: "Speaking of which, these elites of Bozhou are indeed brave and worthy of Yang Yinglong's support. In addition, it is difficult for our army to conquer the natural danger of Loushan Pass.
The loss in this battle is estimated to be no less than 2,000 troops and horses, and the casualties are quite high.
After this battle, the deeper we go into Bozhou, the more fierce the battle will be. Of course, after capturing Loushanguan, we will not be far from the Yang family's home base. I expect that Yang Yinglong will personally lead his troops to attack soon.
You and I still need to take more precautions."
Marin suppressed his smile and nodded in agreement.
Liu Wei's troops rested for two days due to relatively heavy losses. The army was temporarily deployed according to Ma Lin. The Ming army's barracks were connected to prevent the Bo army from breaking through. One group was stationed at Loushanguan as the base camp, and the other group was stationed at Baishikou as a response.
One unit was stationed at Yong'an Village as the forward camp, and the capital commander Wang Fen was ordered to serve as the vanguard and advance to Yong'an to garrison on standby.
However, Wang Fen was a man of great courage but little strategy. Because he was the vanguard in every battle, and the Ming army had won consecutive victories, he had begun to underestimate the enemy.
Wang Fen wanted to move the forward battalion to Songmenya, but his subordinates advised him: "Forgive me, General Ma has ordered us to camp at Yong'an Village. Songmenya is several miles away from the main camp, so it may be disadvantageous to camp alone. And
I'm afraid General Ma will be blamed for changing the camp location without permission, so why not ask for permission before moving the camp?"
Wang Fen said angrily: "Songmenya is an important place and must be passed through. It is very important to guard this place. The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and supplies are available everywhere. It is an excellent place to camp.
As for the Bozhou Miao soldiers, they have nothing to fear. Since we entered the territory of Bozhou, we have won consecutive battles. We will conquer and win in battle. The rebels have already been defeated. If the rebels come again, I will kill them all.
.
Don't be good at talking about the art of war in front of me. Could it be that I don't understand the art of war? As for Ma Zongrong, he is a cavalryman of the Northern Army. Marching and setting up formations in the mountains and forests is not his strong point. I understand why.
I will ask General Liu for instructions afterwards."
It turned out that Wang Fen was the Sichuan Dusi and was not under the jurisdiction of Ma Lin. It was only because Liu Wei's troops were resting for the past two days and Liu Wei himself was busy with providing pensions and arranging for the transportation of wounded soldiers to the rear for medical treatment that he made subsequent arrangements.
Leave it to Marin.
Wang Fen was not a direct descendant of Liu Wei, but he also knew Liu Wei's status in front of Mr. Gao Ge, so he deliberately curry favor and wanted to show his loyalty to Liu Wei by alienating Ma Lin, which is why he behaved like this.
On the other side, Yang Yinglong was furious again when he reported the loss of Loushanguan. He shouted sternly: "Loushanguan has been lost, and Liu Wei is very close to me! We must retake Loushanguan to restore the decline. This is a great match for Bozhou."
Safety is extremely critical! Otherwise we can only retreat to Longyandun (that is, Hailongdun), which is a choice we only make as a last resort.
Immediately allocate 40,000 Miao soldiers to me, and I will personally go to battle, cut off the heads of Liu Wei and Ma Lin, attack all the way into Chongqing, and then cut the dog officer Song Liangzuo into thousands of pieces!"
Yang Chaodong immediately asked for an order: "Father, as the leader of Bozhou, how can you act rashly? Only when you sit in the state capital and strategize can you show your kingly image, let your child personally lead the Miao soldiers to go out again. This time I will definitely send Liu Wei, Ma Lin's leader
Give it to your father."
But Yang Yinglong refused, waving his hand and saying: "Didn't you go there already last time? You, Yang Zhu and Wei Dong all attacked in three directions and were repelled by the army. You are no match for Liu Wei and Ma Lin.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Not only did they inherit the elite skills left to them by their father, but they also had many years of experience in the military, especially Liu Wei and Pingman.
Isn't it a blessing that we didn't suffer a single defeat in the expedition to Burma? That's why I need to personally take command this time. You and Yang Zhu will follow me and immediately gather your troops to advance towards Loushanguan."
Military advisor Sun Shitai hurriedly stopped him and offered advice: "The master of the family must not be impatient. We have just reported that one part of the army is guarding Loushanguan and the other part is guarding Baishikou, but the forward battalion is stationed at Songmenya. In this way, the forward battalion and the middle army will be stationed at Songmenya."
The rear troops are far away from each other, so they are camping alone.
As long as our Bozhou Army launches a surprise attack on Songmenya immediately and annihilates this lone army before their reinforcements arrive, it will be conducive to retaking Loushanguan. My lord, your troops must be quick, and without further delay, please set out immediately to attack Songmenya first.
To prevent the officers and soldiers from changing their deployment." Yang Yinglong heard that it made sense and immediately nodded in agreement.
Not long ago, Wang Fenzheng led a team to inspect the camp. He felt that the camp's defense was perfect, and he couldn't help but feel very proud. However, he still ordered to strengthen the surrounding exploration and report at any time, especially to beware of night attacks. Afterwards, he told his left and right people that he was eager to order an attack.
, he was the first to capture Yang Yinglong and achieved great success, and was rewarded by the court.
At this time, there was a sudden message outside the tent that the rebels were approaching. Wang Fen was not worried but happy, and laughed and said: "It's just as I say, it's just what I want. I'll go quickly to find out if Yang Yinglong is among the incoming rebels. If so."
It was my opportunity for him to come in person.
Everyone, the rebels will attack with a large number of troops this time. Immediately ask for reinforcements from Liu and Ma, and the whole battalion will immediately prepare for battle, block the enemy's offensive, and wait for reinforcements!" It seems that although he is arrogant, he is not crazy enough to send troops to attack without permission.
, you still know how to stand firm and wait for help.
After receiving Wang Fen's request for help, Liu Wei found out that Wang Fen had gone to Songmenya. After asking Ma Lin again, he found that Wang Fen had indeed acted secretly. He was so angry that blood rushed to his head, and he immediately yelled: "This idiot is relying on bravery."
He had little plan and underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, but he dared to resist orders and disobey orders, change the camp privately, and still dare not report the enemy!
Even if he is rescued this time, I will severely punish him under military law! As the capital commander, he actually acted like this. Even if I don’t kill him, the army will not let him go lightly! Send out immediately, and the entire army will rescue the forward battalion!"
Soon, Wang Fen was unsurprisingly surrounded by Yang Yinglong. He first ordered to block the enemy step by step, and then ordered to form defensive formations. However, the main task that his vanguard should perform was actually like the "fire reconnaissance" of later generations rather than overcoming difficulties.
, so it carries very few artillery pieces.
In the face of the overwhelmingly superior Bozhou Army, the casualties of Wang Fen's Ming army gradually increased. After the battle, he couldn't help lamenting that reinforcements could not arrive quickly. He was afraid that his life would not be saved today. He wanted to write a suicide note but was afraid that it would be confiscated, so he couldn't help but feel discouraged.
Soon after, the forward camp of the Ming Army ran out of arrows and ammunition, and they fell into close combat with the Bozhou Army. A melee broke out. The Ming Army was suppressed by the huge Bozhou Army. Wang Fen was shot by a stray arrow and died.
Yang Yu and others were all killed in the battle. At this point, the remnants of the Ming army's forward battalion were defeated, and Yang Yinglong ordered a pursuit.
At this time, Liu Wei personally led the cavalry and encountered Yang Yinglong's vanguard. Yang Yinglong and Liu Wei looked at each other from a distance, with murderous intentions in their eyes, and there was no trace of their old friendship in their eyes.
The two armies charged almost at the same time. Yang Yinglong and Liu Wei collided with their horses, their swords collided with each other, and they were both knocked off their horses. They were both stunned for a moment.
Yang Yinglong was shocked in his heart: Liu Dadao is really powerful, I am also famous for my arm strength, and I just took the medicinal poison before the battle, but I can only fight to a draw with him. I am afraid that this guy is not strong enough.
Liu Wei was even more surprised than Yang Yinglong, and said secretly: In the early years, I heard that Yang Yinglong had a talent for "dragon-binding power". I thought it was just a local bragging, and I didn't take it seriously at all. But I didn't expect that this guy could actually fight with me. This is really big.
Dinner and wine on the first day of the new year - a first time!
The two calmed down for a moment, raised their swords at each other again, and fought each other for thirty rounds in a head-to-head battle of strength, with no winner or loser. Liu Wei didn't know that Yang Yinglong had Miao Jiang's secret technique to temporarily activate his powers, and thought that Yang Yinglong was really at odds with him.
up and down.
He had always been aggressive, but when he saw this, he was not angry but happy, and shouted: "Good thief, Liu has been on the battlefield for thirty years, and you are still the first one who can compete with me! Don't leave, let's discuss sword skills again!"
"
Yang Yinglong's family knew about his own affairs, and the time for his secret technique to take effect was limited. If he delayed it any longer, he would run out of energy, so he refused to say anything, turned around and slashed with a knife. The blade passed by, causing a whimpering sound to come out of the air.
However, if we really talk about sword skills, Liu Wei's battle experience is far superior to that of Yang Yinglong. With just this move, Liu Wei sidestepped and took the opportunity to kick Yang Yinglong to the ground.
Liu Wei took advantage of the situation and strode forward to slash with his sword. Yang Yinglong had to roll over to avoid the blade, and was covered in dust. Fortunately, Miao soldiers came to save the savior and tried their best to block Liu Wei's sword. After the sacrifice, the three of them were killed.
After paying a heavy price, Yang Yinglong was able to get up and retreat to the rear after being rescued.
Yang Yinglong knew that even with the blessing of the secret medicine, he was no match for Liu Wei. At the same time, he was even more worried about the coming reinforcements from the Ming army. He did not dare to fight anymore and immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops to join the main force. It was only then that Liu Wei personally led the elite troops to rush over and the army
Shang was still in the rear and had not followed up, so naturally he did not dare to go deep alone at this moment, so he also ordered to withdraw his troops.
Yang Yinglong retreated to the army and summoned Yang Chaodong urgently. Yang Zhu discussed: "Liu Wei, Ma Lin knows that I personally lead the army to attack, so he will fight with all his strength. Can he annihilate this army and retake Loushanguan in one fell swoop?"
.
I led the vanguard to encounter Liu Wei before. I think the combat power of this army is not inferior to that of our Bozhou army. Moreover, Liu Wei is really brave and has many tactics in fighting. He is also familiar with the situation in Bozhou. It is no wonder that Lou Shan
Guan Tianxian was captured by him.
Alas, I thought that Loushang Pass was impossible to break, so I did not deploy more troops at Loushang Pass. Now I regret it."
Yang Chaodong said: "Liu Wei's bravery is known all over the world. He was invincible in the plains and barbarians' conquest of Burma. Also, Marin is also a famous general. He has made many meritorious deeds in the frontier fortress. After going through large and small battles in the frontier fortress, the Ma's army is even more famous. I, the Bozhou soldier, are with you."
An army of firearms fights, and firearms are sharp weapons for the army and must be used skillfully, so it does require more preparation."
However, Yang Zhu was extremely dissatisfied with Liu Wei and eager to give it a try: "Young masters should not extinguish their own prestige by maximizing other people's ambitions. Bo state has been established for seven hundred years, how can the victory or defeat be determined by mere firearms? In addition to strategic planning, victory or defeat on the battlefield cannot be determined by planning.
Military morale and combat skills are more important.
I am willing to be the vanguard and lead my troops to capture Liu Wei. I have long wanted to see what his sword is capable of, and this is the perfect time to test its sharpness."
Yang Yinglong was worried that Yang Zhu was too arrogant and might make mistakes, so he frowned and said: "You don't have to be the vanguard this time, I will be the vanguard myself. One is to boost morale, and the other is to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers. I have Chaodong by my side to protect me."
Can.
Our army must strike preemptively, seize the key points, encircle them on all sides, and use bows and crossbows to shoot down their firearms battalion first, so that we can fight with all our strength. Yang Zhu, you lead ten thousand troops to lie in ambush, and when the two armies are in a stalemate, they can attack the rear and regroup.
Capture the Loushan Pass. You know, Liu Wei used surprise troops to attack from both sides before the defense collapsed. Today I will retaliate in the same way!" Although Yang Zhu felt a little regretful that he could not fight Liu Wei face to face, considering that
Given the current fighting situation, we still took the order and left.
By the time Liu Wei's troops from Ma Lin and Ma Town arrived, the Bozhou Army had seized the high ground and surrounded them on all sides. The Ming Army had to wait for the firearms battalion, so it was slow to respond and thus fell into a disadvantage.
Yang Yinglong ordered the firing of crossbows, and the Ming army formed a formation with shields. During the interval, they counterattacked with artillery and arrows. The two armies fell into a confrontation, and Yang Yinglong led his troops in formation, preparing to launch an attack while the Ming army was struggling to defend.
As a Marin cavalryman, he always believed that it was never a good idea to just resist. When he saw the Miao soldiers forming up, he immediately discussed with Liu Wei: "The thieves are ready to charge, and the mountains around me are complicated and artillery is not easy to use. For now,
The plan is that only by engaging in a melee with the enemy can the bandit army's crossbows and crossbows be used to defeat rats. Therefore, our army must first brave the arrows, reorganize its formation, and be the first to attack Yang Yinglong. Only then can we fight with all our strength."
Liu Wei has never been afraid of melee. He was mainly thinking about how to use artillery. He had few opportunities to actually command artillery before, so he was not very skilled. Time passed by thinking about it.
Marin was different. He was the first to change the equipment of the towns in Jiubian, and also used artillery the most. He knew that it was difficult to deploy artillery under the current terrain, so he made the above suggestions.
When Liu Wei heard that it was reasonable, he immediately agreed with the proposal and ordered the entire army to launch a counterattack against the Miao soldiers. Liu Wei shouted to kill the thieves and boosted the morale of the army with generous rewards. After he personally charged into the fortress, the Ming army risked his life to attack.
Seeing that the Ming army was so passive, Yang Yinglong dared to take the lead in launching a counterattack. He laughed a few times and immediately led his troops to fight. The two armies fought together as a group, each fighting to the death. For a time, their fighting strength was almost equal, and it was difficult to tell the winner.
.
After half a day of fierce fighting, the two armies were still inseparable, and the Ming army still had an ambush force waiting for them: guerrilla Zhou Dunji, and garrison Zhou Yide saw that the time had come, divided into left and right wings, and suddenly attacked from the side. The Bozhou army was caught off guard, and was attacked from both sides. It was in chaos, and the morale of the army was in chaos.
Total defeat.
Yang Yinglong was shocked and retreated in a hurry under the protection of Yang Chaodong. The Ming army pursued them to Yangma City before returning due to exhaustion. Yang Zhu, who was about to retake Loushan Pass, was forced to lead his troops from Loushan because of Yang Yinglong's defeat.
Close withdrawal.
After the war, Liu Wei imitated the story of the Bozhou Army and set up a wooden roadblock in front of the Loushang Pass, built a strong wall to clear the fields, and asked for reinforcements. Ten days later, he captured Houshuidun and camped at Champion Mountain. In the next few days, Ma Kongying, Wu Guang, and Deng Zilong's troops also arrived one after another.
Arrive and meet up with Liu Wei and Ma Lin.
Song Liangzuo, who was sitting in the rear in Chongqing, was overjoyed when he heard about the victory. He immediately ordered a reward and reported it to the court. At the same time, these battles were collectively called the "Victory of Loushanguan".
