Chapter 211: Fight to the enemy's hometown
Last time, it was mentioned that Lu Ya'er used C4 explosives to turn more than 1,000 Tartar cavalry into ashes, which aroused all kinds of attention, and at the same time made Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Taiyuan, feel a little pressure.
"We can't help Mr. Lu's entry and exit, so what can I do?" Wang Pu asked, holding his beard.
"Dashuai, I have a plan to relieve Dashuai's worries," a middle-aged scribe reported, "Young Master Lewei has twin sisters, who are naturally beautiful and do not let their eyebrows go. If the marshal is interested, he may wish to ask the old media. ā
Wang Piao's eyes lit up when he heard the middle-aged scribe's construction, and then asked, "I don't know how old Mr. Lu is, can he have a marriage match?" ā
"As far as Zhao knows, this Mr. Lu is fifteen years old, and he has been studying the sages at home before this expedition, preparing to participate in this year's imperial examination. If it weren't for the Tartar entry and the delay in the township test, Mr. Lu would definitely be famous on the gold list. As for whether he is married or not, I heard that Mr. Lu's family is poor, and his relatives and friends have few contacts, and he has not been married to anyone's daughter. I have already confirmed this among Mr. Lu's fellow villagers. The middle-aged scribe replied.
Wang Pu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered: "When I write a letter in my hand, I will immediately send someone to send it to Wang Ge's hometown in the capital immediately." In addition, you prepared a generous gift for me, and sent 10,000 taels of silver to the capital together. If Mr. Zhao has nothing else important, he can go to Beijing with the messenger and take care of the people in the court. If you have the opportunity, you should also walk around the palace. Anyway, it's good for the way to make this happen, and you can do it cheaply. ā
After settling down in a quiet house in the town, Wang Lewei immediately visited Lu Ya'er and Xiao Mingyue in person.
"Mr. Hu. From the very beginning when you entered our army, I felt that Mr. Hu was not an extraordinary person, and he must have the talent of heaven and earth, and now it seems that my expectations are indeed correct. Wang Lewei appreciated. At this time, Lu Ya'er, who was holding Xiao Mingyue in her arms, was looking at herself with a smile. Willow eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, cherry mouth, in Wang Lewei's eyes, Lu Yaer is an out-and-out beautiful man. Although the eyebrows and eyes have not yet grown, and the voice of the voice has a childlike voice, the man's growth and development have been in the past two years. It is possible to come down in the winter. This Mr. Lu can grow into a personable and turbid son. I'm looking forward to it!
Facing this prince who is also dressed as a man, you can feel a strange expectation from his burning gaze, Lu Yaer feels both angry and funny, why did such an interesting thing happen in just one month!
The major general praised it falsely. Lu is just relying on strange tricks. Luck scored two victories for the general. It should not be praised by the major general. Lu Ya'er said modestly.
"Mr. Lu is both civil and military. He is also proficient in the way of things, and when he is named on the gold list, he will enter the phase or can be expected. Wang Lewei continued to praise. When he said this sentence when he talked about the title of the gold list. I couldn't help but think of the previous sentence, and the blush on my face came spontaneously. Fortunately, at this time, Wang Lewei took off her armor and changed to a scholarly dress, and she looked good.
"In this eventful autumn, the eldest husband should rely on the immortal merit of the three-foot Qingfeng in his hands. A certain person is willing to throw a pen from Rong, follow the general's left and right, wave his army to the north, capture the enemy chieftain and present it to the holy monarch. Lu Yaer said her wish impassionedly. According to the observation during this time, Lu Yaer found that the world she traveled through seemed to be in turmoil, and the people of the world were about to face a dire situation. Since he and Xiao Mingyue came to this world by chance, they can't just pat their butts and walk away after recovering their cultivation! As for the title of the gold list, the sisters were not interested, after all, the people who cultivated the truth were more or less heroic.
Hearing Mr. Lu's statement, Wang Lewei felt both happy and worried. I am glad that Mr. Lu can be with him day and night from now on. The worry is that the status of the soldiers of this dynasty is quite low. The right to speak in the imperial court is completely in the hands of the literati, and even a military general with a first-rank official position cannot sit on an equal footing with a fifth-rank prefect. If he joins the military, Mr. Lu's good future will be ruined.
After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Lewei gritted her teeth and persuaded: "Mr. Lu must not be rash. The Tartars ravaged the Central Plains is also a disease of ringworm and scabies, and when the Holy Son of Heaven makes every effort to reorganize the army and horses, he will drive the Tartars to the poor mountains and bad waters. Mr. still focuses on reading, and he will surely become the minister of the humerus of the Holy Son of Heaven one day. ā
"Huh! Although Lu is not talented, he also dares to follow the example of the ancient Ban Dingyuan to throw a pen from Rong..."Lu Ya'er replied sonorously.
"It's really mud that can't hold up the wall." From his daughter's letter, he learned that Lu Zhu had no intention of taking the imperial examination and wanted to follow Ban Chao's pen and serve the emperor's majesty, Wang Pu was so angry that he scolded loudly. Although the war is now tight, the status of the military has rebounded. However, the foreign food and salary are in the hands of civilian officials, and the right to speak in the evaluation of military merits is also very large. Judging from the current situation, there is no way out for joining the army.
"Don't worry," one of his generals advised, "Mr. Xiao Lu may be a scholar." After the war is over, presumably Mr. Lu will be useless as a hero, and he will inevitably pick up his books again. As long as the marshal does not give Mr. Lu the right to lead the army, he has the right to serve in the army as a civilian official, and if he does not join the army, he will have room for maneuver in the future. ā
"It seems that this is the only way to go. But this kid's temper is very good for my appetite. After he has experienced some training in the army, he must gradually realize the value of reading. When he is a few years older and his mind is mature, he will not do such stupid things again. It's just that we must settle the marriage between this kid and the little girl as soon as possible, otherwise when he soars into the sky in the future, there will be countless important ministers in the court who want to recruit him as a son-in-law, and then it will not be my Wang Pu's turn. Wang Pu sighed.
"How many people are you going to support the second son this time? Now we have replenished about 3,000 soldiers and horses from Taiyuan, of which about 1,000 are cavalry. The last general felt that it was appropriate to replenish the second prince with five hundred light cavalry again. The general said.
"Five hundred, then. Too much, it is estimated that Wei'er is more daring, and it is even possible to pursue outside the pass. Now that two bold guys have met together, I really don't know what kind of things I can do today! Wang Pu sighed again.
On the official road, a mighty cavalry was attacking and advancing in the dust, swords and guns like forests and horses.
"Mr. Lu, although the Tartar army has suffered a big loss at our hands recently, the offensive posture has not decreased slightly, but has intensified, dividing the troops into two routes to attack the key cities, intending to cut off the shipping of the Grand Canal. And if we go the other way and sneak into the gate from the small road and attack the Tartars' lair, will it have the effect of encircling Wei and saving Zhao? Wang Lewei asked worriedly.
"It's economic strength that fights for war. The reason why Tartars are frequently in the army is because of the lack of food for the winter. Now that spring is about to begin, we are not going deep into the heart of the Tartars to conquer the city, but to disrupt their spring ploughing, reduce their population, and reduce their war potential. Even if they were able to loot enough food this time, there would be a day when they would run out. And if we make a big fuss in their hometown, the soldiers of the Tartars will surely be like arrows. Therefore, they may not be able to smoothly bring the looted grain back to the customs this time. Lu Yaer patiently explained.
"Mr. Lu thinks we should do to dissolve their population? Do we need to follow the example of the Tartars and bring their population back to the Central Plains? Wang Lewei asked.
"Definitely. Our Central Plains has always had a large population, so what is the use of these barbarians? Since we are advancing in a hurry with our own troops, and there is no fixed logistical replenishment, we cannot leave the rear to those barbarians who are all soldiers. Besides, taking those Tartar captives is not conducive to maneuvering, and it is necessary to divide troops to take care of them. So my building yƬ is a chicken dog does not stay! Lu Ya'er said lightly. But listening to Wang Lewei's ears is so thrilling.
Smoke wafted over a small village on the vast plains, children played, adults toiled, and even the elderly were not idle, either making weapons or doing what they could. The whole village looks so peaceful, as if it were a paradise.
As the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, the people in the village didn't realize anything was wrong at first. Later, an elderly man felt a little abnormal and couldn't help but ask loudly: "Our patrol seems to have moved to the border, should something happen to them and return?" ā
One young man replied: "What can be done?" Even if something happens, we can take up arms and form new patrols. ā
"Why don't we send someone to take a look? What if something really happened to the patrol? "Someone built a yƬ road.
While everyone was talking, rockets fell from the sky and set fire to the houses in the village. The Tartar villages were walled, so the best way for the light cavalry to attack was to attack with fire. Now Wang Lewei divides his troops into five attack clusters, four of which are mainly raids, and the troops led by himself and Lu Ya are dedicated to gnawing hard bones.
Due to the cold winters outside the gates, the Tartars had a large amount of fuel stockpiled in their homes. Now, under the attack of rockets, the fire quickly spread through the village, and the smoke formed reached into the sky.
"Prepare to attack," Wang Lewei ordered, "and the Tartars will soon be unable to hold on, and will rush out of the gate." Tell them to block the other doors, and be sure not to let go of a single tartar. ā
As the smoke of the fire disturbed the horses, most of the Tartars who rushed out of the village gates were not riding horses. Cavalry vs. infantry was an absolute one-sided slaughter. At first, these cavalrymen could not bear to attack some women, children and children. But barbarians are savages, and some women and children even have the same fighting power as adults. After a few battles, these cavalrymen were trained to be out-and-out killers. (To be continued.) )
ps: The time is tight, the task is heavy, and it almost didn't exceed twelve o'clock to release.
