My life skills in Daming Liver

After Yang Lie failed to attack Bozhou City, Xiong Kuang's independent regiment marched the fastest and reached the mountainous area near Bozhou.

After learning that Yang Lie failed to attack Bozhou City, Xiong Kuang did not go directly to Bozhou to rescue the siege. He did not even attack Yang Lie, but looked at the map and deployed.

The Yang family is quite prestigious in Guizhou, and this time Yang Lie rebelled, he also contacted many Guizhou chieftains and wealthy families to provide support.

So Xiong Kuang simply hid near Bozhou City and prepared to come to a encirclement point for reinforcements.

Sure enough, under Yang Lie's call, several local wealthy families and chieftains in Guizhou also headed towards Bozhou with their own private soldiers, trying to join Yang Lie.

In the historical timeline that Su Ze traveled through, the Bozhou Rebellion was not a big deal originally. It was also because the chieftains in the southwest began to respond after seeing the Yang family's revolt, and the Ming court failed to suppress it at the beginning, which led to The Boshu Rebellion swept through the southwest and caused huge consequences.

Therefore, Su Ze's military order to Southwest requires all armies to suppress the rebels quickly and decisively, and never give the rebels a spark.

When Yang Lie raised his army this time, the conflicts in the southwest were not as acute as they had been in the Wanli period, and the officials at all levels appointed by the southeast were very capable, which also alleviated many conflicts among the indigenous people in the southwest.

The powerful fighting power of the Southeast to pacify Annan also put many Southwest chieftains in a state of sitting on the fence.

They are waiting to see how Yang Lie will rebel. If Yang Lie is unstoppable and defeats the undefeated legend of the Southeast Army, then they will naturally kill officials and rebel in response.

If Yang Lie is suppressed soon, these chieftains will immediately cut off from Yang Lie.

Xiong Kuang was stationed in the mountains near Bozhou. He came to join Yang Lie when he raised his troops. He must be the force closest to Yang Lie and the most reactionary rebel like Yang Lie.

As expected, not many people in Guizhou responded to Yang Lie, and only three teams led troops to Yang Lie.

Xiong Kuang led his men to survey the Sanchuan map. After determining the combat area, the three teams appeared in the mountainous area near Bozhou.

Xiong Kuang convened a meeting with his battalion commanders and company commanders to arrange their troops according to the defense areas.

"According to our experience in suppressing bandits in Nanzhong, fighting in the mountains is different from fighting on the ground, and we cannot place a phalanx of musketeers in the mountains."

"Based on the previous combat summary, a combat team of three people is the best formation for fighting in complex terrain."

"Each fire team, each soldier is equipped with a musket, and the team leader carries three grenades."

"In battle, a three-person team is equivalent to three rows of soldiers in the musket phalanx. They take turns designing and covering each other to ensure the continuity and stability of firepower."

"Ten people serve as a basic combat unit, with experienced veterans serving as squad leaders. Each squad is assigned a Yunnan horse to transport the ammunition and dry food used by the entire squad for a day."

"Three firepower groups operate in the battlefield area within a certain distance. When encountering a small number of enemies, the three-person team can annihilate the enemy. When encountering a larger number of enemies, the three firepower groups can cooperate with each other."

"Three fire teams can form a squad, three squads can form a platoon, three platoons can form a company, and three companies can form a battalion."

"After encountering different numbers of enemies, we can continuously combine our forces according to this principle to ensure local firepower advantage."

This three-three system is a mountain warfare method that Xiong Kuang summed up while suppressing bandits in the Nanping Mountains.

Obviously, the musketeer phalanx used in plain battles cannot be used in mountain battles.

Xiong Kuang summed up the good experience of fighting in the Nanping Mountains and invented this kind of combat formation.

Sure enough, after using this kind of formation, the independent regiment's efficiency in suppressing bandits in Nanping greatly increased.

This time in the Banshu Mountains, Xiong Kuang still used this grouping method.

Yang Lie retreated to his hometown and decided to recruit more people to join the army. At this time, he also felt a sense of crisis.

Even the small city of Bozhou cannot be captured. Once the southeastern army comes, it will be impossible to defend it by relying on the stronghold.

What makes Yang Lie even more frightened is that he thought that by holding high the banner, he would be able to attract responses from the southwest. Why has no one come to join him now?

None of the envoys sent by Yang Lie to contact him came back, and he had no idea what was going on outside.

The next day, Yang Lie once again sent his cronies to contact the surrounding chieftains to raise troops together to inquire about the situation near Bozhou.

As soon as Yang Lie sent out his cronies, he heard sporadic or intensive gunshots in the mountains.

This frightened Yang Lie and immediately summoned the army, but the gunshots sounded far and near, sporadic, and some were far away from the village.

Yang Lie didn't dare to move, so he simply left his generals to defend the village and returned to the Xuanwei Ambassador's Mansion to drink and soothe his sorrows.

It was not until the next day that the cronies sent out by Yang Lie returned sporadically, bringing even worse news.

The three chieftains who were the first to respond to Yang Lie were attacked by elites from the southeast as soon as they entered Bozhou. The three chieftains were beaten and their entire army was wiped out. The gunfire that sounded in the mountains today was the battle between the southeastern army and the three chieftain armies.

Yang Lie's heart became even colder. He originally thought that it would take several months for the southeastern army to arrive in Bozhou, but he didn't expect it to arrive so quickly!

Yang Lie had participated in several recruitments of the Ming court's army. He knew deeply that the efficiency of the Ming court's army gathering was very low. Even if the speed of the southeast was higher than that of the Ming court, they wouldn't be able to arrive in just a few days, right?

Aren't there rumors that the elite troops in the southeast are fighting fiercely with the Ming Dynasty in the north?

How did it come so fast?

Yang Lie is even more confused.

For these chieftains in the southwest, the Ming Dynasty was actually also implementing the pig-raising policy.

These earth kings have been entrenched in the local area for a long time. They can inherit their status without struggle, and there is no room for advancement, so naturally they do not study or learn.

The barbarians in the mountains who usually bully ordinary people rely on their ferocious energy to fight, not to mention the art of war, they don't even have rules.

The reason why the Bozhou Rebellion before Su Ze crossed over could sweep the entire southwest region was because the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli Period was also a well-matched opponent. Moreover, when the Bozhou Rebellion occurred, the Ming Dynasty was fighting against the Japanese and aiding the DPRK, and all its elites were transferred to the north.

This time the situation was different. After the failure in the attack on Bozhou, the usually fierce military leaders under Yang Lie lost their courage. When they heard the news that the reinforcements had been eliminated, Yang Lie's army became even more uneasy.

Under such circumstances, Yang Lie was even more upset. While drinking and having fun in the Xuanwei Ambassador's house, he began to prepare to become king on his own and to confer the title of queen and ministers.

The people were driven to the Xuanwei ambassador's house. Looking at the silks and satins hanging all over the house, Yang Lie, wearing the python robe that had been prepared long ago, gave in three times under the persuasion of many retainers, and finally "had no choice but" to proclaim himself He is the king of Zhennan.
