Long Claw Tun, Ma Qiancheng fought extremely hard.
The couple went into battle side by side and personally supervised the battle. It took four days to take down the dragon claw. The sergeant suffered countless casualties and the army was exhausted. Fortunately, Liu Dadao and the main force had already arrived at this time, so they withdrew for a while for a rest, and sent other troops to take on the task of attacking the fortifications.
At this time, An Nantian, the eldest son of An, had led the An family's native soldiers to join Ye Mengxiong's army in Guizhou to rebel. There were only two armies advancing towards Bozhou from the direction of Guizhou, accounting for only a quarter of the Eighth Route Army, and An Nantian joined the Left Route Army.
In the spirit of beating dogs in the water, An Nantian took over the vanguard officer's job as soon as he joined, built a pontoon bridge over the Wujiang River, captured Luomeng Pass on the 16th, attacked Dashuitian, and occupied Taoxi Village.
Most of the military discipline of the soldiers is very bad, even if their purpose of sending troops is just. Burning, killing, and looting were naturally inevitable, and An Nantian was not as strict as Qin Liangyu in restraining his children, so the soldiers of the An family burned Taoxi Village.
The Song family has been paying attention to the movement of the An family. When the An family sent troops, the Song family immediately dispatched Song Tiandao to join the West Route Army in Guizhou, and volunteered to be a vanguard.
In fact, these two great aristocratic families definitely have strength. As long as they are willing, they can even use the fastest speed to recruit a huge army that surpasses the imperial army organized by Ye Mengxiong. But they are a thousand-year-old family, and the general trend has already been established, and their aggressiveness is much worse than Ye Xiaotian's all-or-nothing.
So they sent troops late at this time, and the number of troops they used was still a small number. It was a real coordinated suppression of the rebellion, but the mentality of seeking no fault and no merit had already penetrated into the bones of the Ansong family. The heads of the two families are very talented, but they cannot be avoided.
But the joining of these two families does not lie in how many troops they can dispatch, but in their political significance. The An and Song families have made it clear that they are on the side of the imperial court, and it is conceivable what impact it will have on the chieftains of other parties.
Because of their joining, the little chieftains who were vassals of Yang Yinglong in Bozhou became even more demoralized and had no fighting spirit at all. And these chieftains have gone through thousands of years from ancient times to the present, and there are always some traceable kinship relationships, which are naturally used at this time.
The battle ahead is raging, but chieftains from all sides are constantly sending messengers, collating, negotiating, negotiating, and preparing to change flags. Even if they are fighting to the death on the frontal battlefield, they are in frequent contact in private.
Seeing this situation, Huang Ping Fusi had to think about the future of his family. Huang Ping Fusi was located at the southernmost tip of Bozhou, and had been in frequent contact with the Song family in Shuidong, so he naturally wanted to join the Song family at this time.
It's just that the Song family joined the battle relatively late, and before crossing the river, Huang Ping's Fusi had just sent someone to contact the Song family, and Yu Junting sent a messenger.
On the one hand, Yu Junting launched a forceful conquest against the Baini pacification department, and on the other hand, she spread leaflets, using Tian Miaowen's identity to conduct propaganda. Although the Bainitian clan had already formed its own system, they shared a common ancestor with the Tongrentian clan after all. When the situation was in dire straits, this became the key factor for them to fall to Woniuling.
Seeing that Tian female phoenix, Tian Feipeng, and Tian Yipeng are all in Hailongtun, and they have taken away the most elite soldiers and horses of the Tian family. Tian's children invited their ancestors out.
The old ancestor of the Bainitian family was Tian Miaowen's great-grandfather in terms of seniority. The old man carried it out and asked him to speak.
The old man is about to enter the soil, and he doesn't worry that if Yang Yinglong can make a comeback, Tian Yufeng and others will liquidate him. On behalf of the Bainitian clan, he agrees to belong to Woniuling. In this way, Yu Junting will occupy After leaving Baini, he is very close to Huangping Xuanfusi.
Yu Junting immediately sent someone to contact Huang Pingxuan Fusi. The first envoy was sent by her in the name of Wo Niuling. The first envoy has not returned yet, and she sent another lobbyist in the name of Bai Nitian.
Immediately afterwards, she moved to the border area between Huangping and Baini, and made preparations to advance by force. Although Huang Pingan Fusi is more inclined to go to Shuidong Song's house, it's a pity that the result there is still unknown for a while, but Ye Xiaotian's messenger has already arrived.
Moreover, the Bainitian Clan has already demoted Ye Xiaotian, Ye Xiaotian's power is already on the border with him, for the sake of long-term planning, this point cannot be ignored. In addition, the Bainitian family and Huang Pingxuanfusi are also related by marriage, and the lobbyists sent by the Bainitian family tried their best to persuade them. As a result, when the people sent by Huangping Fusi to the Song family in Shuidong brought a safe reply letter and the Song family's When the envoy rushed back excitedly, Yu Junting had already appeared in Huangni Fusi, representing Woniuling and Huangping Fusi to formally sign an agreement, bringing the Luo family of Huangping Fusi under the rule of Woniuling.
Whether things go smoothly or not often depends on the first step. Yu Junting outwitted the Tong clan of Shiqian Mansion, persuaded the Bainitian clan to surrender, and recruited the Huangping Luo clan. In this way, the Caotang Xuanfu Division Song clan who was half surrounded by them was in a panic.
The Caotang Song family has nothing to do with the Shuidong Song family. The ancestor of the Caotang Song family was originally Song Juhun, the general manager of Jingjiang Road in the Yuan Dynasty. Later, his son Song Mingxue served as the appeasement envoy of Caotang. There are ten chief judges including Zhu, and twelve horse heads including Hongbian and Chenhu.
Seeing that Yuqing, Meitan, and Wengshui in the north are occupied by Ye Xiaotian, and Baini and Huangping in the south are also invested in Yu Junting, the grass pond in between has no choice, and taking refuge in Woniuling is their only way out.
So far, Ye Xiaotian has overfulfilled the task, not only included the three lands of Baini, Caotang, and Huangping that were originally planned, but also harvested the three lands of Yuqing, Meitan, and Wengshui, occupying half of Bozhou.
"People, be content! If you are too greedy, you will be struck by lightning!"
Ye Xiaotian burped and said to Hua Yunfei: "Since we have passed Loushan Pass, we have been fighting tough battles, and the number of personnel has been reduced seriously! In this way, you take the wounded soldiers to Caotang, and cooperate with Junting to receive Yuqing, Meitan, and Wengshui. , Caotang, Baini, and Huangping six prefectures, I will take the elite main force to Hailongtun, join the king's division, and fight the final battle!"
Hua Yunfei asked: "So, how many people will the elder brother keep?"
Ye Xiaotian thought for a while, and said: "Brother Qiancheng brought out 3,500 people, and now there are only 2,500 people left in the battle, right? My Woniuling is not as rich as Shizhu Ma's family. Let's keep... 2,000 people! Soldiers are better than many."
Hua Yunfei was in a daze for a moment. Just by completely controlling the whole of Sinan, the territory and power are not smaller than Shizhu Ma's, right? Now add Yuqing, Meitan, Wengshui, Caotang, Baini, Huangping... Now this site has caught up with the original Banzhou, and you are a heavenly king again. You Ye Tianwang said that you are no match for Shizhu Ma's capital Strong, you are not afraid of a thunderbolt from the sky to kill you!
