  Chapter 592 589 [There are no tigers in the mountains]

  Li Achu crossed the mountains and was sent to attack Yiliang City, trying to burn the food and grass of the Datong Army in one fell swoop.

  Thousands of farmers and soldiers, ten thousand civilian husbands, all in the city.

  Even just after leaving the mountain, Li Achu was discovered by the dragoons. Yiliang is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is a relatively flat land in the middle. The county seat is built there.

   "Woooooh~~~~"

  A team of sentry cavalry discovered the situation and immediately blew their horns.

   "Kill the Han army!"

  Relying on the large number of people, Li Achu actually led the team forward, and the local soldiers under his command took out their bows and arrows one after another.

   This team of sentry cavalry continued to blow the horn and retreat without firing a single shot. After only withdrawing for half a mile, two teams of cavalry came to support, and more than 60 cavalry began to outflank the rear of 5,000 local soldiers.

  Li Achu knew that he would be kited by the cavalry, so he simply ignored it and led the elite soldiers to continue marching towards the county.

   Not long after, more than a hundred riders came.

  As the battalion commander of the cavalry, Zhu Tinggao is the highest military position on the battlefield at this moment. He was dumbfounded when he saw the enemy's behavior.

  Five thousand chieftain soldiers, under the stalking of dragoons, dare to continue to attack the city?

  Li Achu took it for granted, he was a slave since he was a child, and he didn't know which race he belonged to. Because of his honesty and obedience, he was chosen as Sha Dingzhou's follower. When he was fourteen years old, he began to fight with sixteen-year-old Sha Dingzhou.

  For more than 20 years, he has seldom lost, and is the second most powerful player after Iron Tiger.

  Especially in recent years, Li Achu has been invincible and invincible. He has encountered a lot of Han troops, except for a few troops with better equipment than native soldiers, most of the Han troops are scumbags, and only Mu Tianbo's general army can fight.

   Now, Mu Tianbo has been overthrown, and Sha Dingzhou has snatched a lot of armor.

  Li Achu felt that after his entire army was armored, he could already sweep the world. So what if more than a hundred dragoons followed, so what if there were defenders in the county ahead? As long as you lead troops to kill them, it will be like chopping melons and vegetables!

  The city of Chuxiong in the west was brought down by Li Achu with 3,000 soldiers. At that time, most of the soldiers under his command still had no armor.

   "Woooooooh~~~~~"

  The dragoons were still blowing their trumpets and gathering more than 300 troops one after another. They were not in a hurry to attack, and all followed slowly, watching the enemy march towards the county like a fool.

  Li Achu's army was advancing quickly, and the city wall could already be seen.

  There are many dwellings outside the city. The door panels are removed to make ladders, and two wooden boards are tied together to climb up the walls. The city walls here are really low.

   When the troops reached 400, the dragoons began to approach.

  Seeing this, Li Achu quickly ordered to stop the march, and gathered together to prepare for archery.

  Five thousand chieftains are elite, although the formation is not neat, but the morale is particularly strong. The composition of the troops imitates the Han army, with spearmen in front, and a melee soldier with a small shield and an axe.

   Four hundred dragoons got off their horses, Zhu Tinggao raised his command saber: "Raise the blunderbuss!"

  Li Achu also shouted: "Archer step forward!"

  Qualified Ming and Qing step bows, if the strength is fully drawn, the range is actually similar to that of muskets.

  Li Achu was very confident. The archers under him all used the good bows of the Mu family's soldiers, and they could shoot farther and more accurately than the previous earth bows. Relying on the superiority of his troops, he can shoot all the enemies in front of him to death.

  The archers of the local soldiers ran out of the battle, Zhu Tinggao immediately ordered: "Receive the guns, mount the horse and attack!"

  Zhu Tinggao is confident of winning, but there is no need to fight so hard.

  Facing a group of bumpkins, any casualties on his side are purely superfluous losses.

   While the Tusi soldiers were still drawing their bows, the dragoons had already mounted their horses and run away. Four hundred dragoons, scattered into several groups, rode for a long distance, and then began to surround them from all directions.

  Li Achu had only 1,200 archers, so it was impossible to cover everything.

  As long as there are no archers, dozens of dragoons rush up, shoot at the crowd and run away.

   "Bang bang bang bang!"

   Gunshots continued to ring out. Although the hit rate was not high and the casualties were not large, the chieftain soldiers were completely passive and beaten.

  After several consecutive rounds of random shooting, only more than 30 chieftain soldiers were killed in battle, and the casualty rate was less than 0.7%.

   But this is extremely annoying, and there is no way to deal with it.

  Li Achu felt distraught, he had never encountered this kind of tactics, and he really wanted to lead his troops to charge up and fight those Han soldiers with real knives and guns.

  1200 chieftain archers, being surrounded by dragoons, ran back and forth, and no longer knew which direction to aim. The melee soldiers were even more terrified, bullets would hit them suddenly, and a few unlucky ghosts would always fall down.

   After struggling for a long time, Li Achu finally made up his mind: "Go back to the mountains and fight again, not to attack the city!"

  Thousands of chieftain soldiers ran towards the mountain, and the formation instantly became chaotic.

   "Woooooooh~~~"

  Zhu Tinggao seized the opportunity and asked the messengers to sound the attack horn.

  Four hundred dragoons shrunk the encirclement, those who hadn't loaded their ammunition quickly reloaded their ammunition, and those who had loaded their ammunition rushed towards Free Fire.

   "Bang bang bang bang!"

   There was another burst of chaotic gunfire, hundreds of chieftain soldiers were directly shot, and the breakout operation suddenly turned into a rout.

  The dragoons put away their flintlock guns, drew out their waist knives and chased them on horseback. Many chieftain soldiers were so frightened that they threw away their weapons.

   Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Achu took a few brave personal followers, raised his knife and turned towards the dragoons. But he was surrounded by routs, and before the dragoons could catch up, the entourage around him was dispersed, and in a blink of an eye, only two of them were still following.

   What's more nonsense is that due to too many routs and too few pursuers, the dragoons directly ignored Li Achu.

   As long as the chieftain soldiers and dragoons who have not yet collapsed will not go to fight, they will first cut down those defeated soldiers. Li Achu brought two followers, originally planned to fight in a **** battle, but saw the enemy army bypassing him, cutting down the other defeated soldiers one after another.

   "Come and kill me!" Li Achu roared angrily.

  Nobody cares.

  Zhu Tinggao personally led more than ten cavalry, went around to intercept the front. Some of the chieftain soldiers running at the front changed direction and continued to flee, while some dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.

  The number of chieftain soldiers who surrendered increased, and finally they knelt down in pieces.

  The most elite soldiers in Sha Dingzhou disappeared inexplicably. As for the Datong Dragoons, 400 people wiped out 5,000 people, and they didn't even get injured.

  Zhu Tinggao rode towards Li Achu and shouted: "Kneel down and be bound!"

   "I'm not convinced!" Li Achu shouted in Chinese.

  Zhu Tinggao reloaded the ammunition slowly, aimed at Li Achu and shot, killing his followers with one shot. This was a bit outrageous, Zhu Tinggao couldn't help but blush, but pretended to be like this on purpose, and asked: "Are you convinced? Kneel down when you are convinced!"

  Li Achu looked at the fallen entourage, swallowed, and finally knelt down.

  Zhu Tinggao ordered the soldiers to go up and tie people up, and laughed and complained: "Just you local soldiers, you actually occupy more than half of Yunnan. There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys dominate. I really think I am very powerful."

   Li Achu was **** and taken to Shizikou camp, Huang Yao was in a happy mood.

  The next day, Datong soldiers escorted Li Achu to Taniguchi: "Go, report back!"

   Put yourself free?

  Li Achu couldn't believe it, he was stunned for a long time, and ran towards the valley, and was caught by his own people soon after entering the valley.

   "Why did you come from the lion's mouth?" Sha Dingzhou asked in surprise.

Li Achu's face was flushed, and he said in shame: "General Mansion, five thousand...five thousand warriors are gone. These Han troops are so powerful that they can shoot blunderbusses on horseback. The fire blunderbusses of the Han army can be fired without igniting, which is better than that of Mu's army. Firearms are better."

  Sha Dingzhou asked: "Are you ambushed by the main force of the Han army?"

  Li Achu's face became even redder, and he lowered his head and said, "No, the Han army only...only a few hundred cavalry."

  Sha Dingzhou was dumbfounded. This was his most elite unit, but it was wiped out by hundreds of cavalry.

   After waiting for a long time, Sha Dingzhou dispatched his henchmen to the south to make Wan's evacuation speed up. As for the treasure that was too bulky, let Wan throw it away directly. He must arrive in Xinxingzhou (Yuxi) as soon as possible, so that he can lead his army to catch up with the confluence.

   The confidant left for less than half a day, but ran back again, bringing two defeated soldiers with him.

  The defeated soldiers cried: "General Mansion, Kunming is gone!"

  Sha Dingzhou seemed to have been hit **** the chest with a hammer. He stood still, breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where's my treasure?"

   "Not anymore." The defeated soldier replied.

  Sha Dingzhou asked again: "Was it the Datong army that captured Kunming, or the Han rebels from Chuxiong?"

  The defeated soldier shook his head: "I don't know."

   "The city has been taken by people, how could you not know? Tell me! Why is there no Kunming!" Sha Dingzhou finally couldn't hold back, and roared furiously.

   The defeated soldier replied: "The mistress asked us to recruit civilian men and carriages, saying that they were used to transport treasures. Everyone is looting in the city, and Kunming is in chaos. It's dark in the middle of the night, and I don't know how many Han troops have come..."

  Sha Dingzhou lost even the interest in cursing others, and sat down on the ground slumped, looking at the mountains in the distance, wondering what he was thinking.

  He felt that the past few years were like a dream.

  First seduce sister-in-law, make her belly bigger, and spend money on sister-in-law to buy a lot of good things. The sister-in-law was coaxed dizzy by him, and after she became pregnant, she offered to murder her husband. So, the uncle and sister-in-law joined hands to kill the elder brother.

   Then, he trapped and killed his ex-husband's son, occupying his ex-husband's territory.

   Then use the strategy of the counselor to secretly instigate the chieftain to rebel. Mu Tianbo trusts Sha Dingzhou more and more because of his continuous counter-insurgency and meritorious service. When he put down the rebellion for the last time, he led his troops directly to the outside of Kunming city, Mu Tianbo still didn't have any doubts.

   Then, Sha Dingzhou entered the city with a small number of personal soldiers, and attacked the imperial palace and Prince Mu's mansion by surprise. And his army outside the city also went to raid the Mu family's barracks outside the city.

  The wealth accumulated by the Mu family for three hundred years was seized by Shadingzhou, and most of Yunnan was also captured by him by force.

  He felt that he could be the king of Yunnan, and even if he couldn't be crowned king, he could still seek an official post as a Yunnan consolation envoy from Emperor Zhao. Because Emperor Zhao and the puppet emperor of Yunnan were enemies, since he had destroyed the puppet emperor of Yunnan, he would have made great contributions to Emperor Zhao.

  Damn Emperor Zhao, he sent troops to kill him without rewarding his meritorious deeds.

   Gone, so many treasures are gone, so many sites are gone.

  That night, Sha Dingzhou took only 2,000 cavalry and fled in the dark, leaving behind tens of thousands of troops. He didn't dare to wait any longer, if the Han army from Chuxiong and Kunming came, he would be in a predicament of being attacked from both sides.

   As soon as the general ran away, the tens of thousands of troops quickly messed up.

  The soldiers who knew the truth wanted to flee back to their hometown in a panic. The soldiers who didn't know the situation thought that the Datong Army was attacking at night, and they broke down and ran around in the barracks like headless chickens.

   Perceiving the movement of the enemy army, Huang Yao said with a smile: "Shoot into the valley and wipe out the enemy army!"

   (Many book friends asked about the Buddha Capstone, which is a kind of gold ore, shaped like the top of a human head, and the top is golden, and is described as the top of Buddha's head.)
