Chapter 47 Tiebi Zhennan

Lang Son in the city

Ruan Chi knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty, and said: "The old minister is guilty, and the dog is dead, please punish His Highness." ”

How can Li Sicheng blame Ruan Chi?

Now Ruan Chi is in a high position, and even once had the power of the governor in the world, and Li Sicheng has only been on the throne for a few months. Even why Li Sicheng came here, he had to guard against the ministers, not necessarily Ruan Chi.

What's more, now is the time to employ people. Ruan Chi's disciples are all over the world. Especially in the army, Li Sicheng didn't know if his words were useful or not.

Li Sicheng hurriedly stepped forward, helped Ruan Chi up, and said, "General Ruan was defeated, what does it have to do with Taifu?" Even General Ruan is fighting against the Northern Kou, although there is a defeat, but it is not General Ruan's fault. ”

Ruan Chi took advantage of the situation and said: "The dog lost his teacher and humiliated the country, and if he didn't kill it, it was not enough for the people to be angry, and if he didn't kill it, it was not enough to boost the morale of the army. ”

Li Sicheng said: "In this way, General Ruan will be dismissed and dismissed from his post to see the after-effects. ”

For this result, each other is well aware.

But the cutscenes that should be taken are still to be taken.

Ruan Chi bowed down again and said, "The old minister has thanked Your Majesty for the kindness of the heavens and the earth. ”

Li Sicheng said: "Now that Beikou is strong, how should Taifu deal with it." ”

Ruan Chi said: "To wait for change, the Beikou is strong, but the mountains and rivers on the front line are dangerous, and it is not something that can be broken, and now the rainy season is coming, as long as it is more than a month, the thieves can only stop, and then they will bow to each other and serve the Beikou." Seeing that the imperial court could not be humiliated, Beikou would naturally find a way to take a step back. ”

Li Sicheng was slightly silent. A line of blood on his forehead seemed to be getting more and more bloody.

It is rumored that when Li Sicheng's mother gave birth to him, she dreamed of God, and God pointed out a fairy child to Li Sicheng's mother. As a result, this fairy child was unwilling to go down to earth, and finally was pointed on his forehead by God, so he had to go down to earth.

And on Li Sicheng's forehead, there is a birthmark that is as straight as blood.

Note in particular that the God here is not the God of Christianity, but the God of ancient history.

Whether it's true or not, it's naturally hard to say, anyway, after Li Sicheng ascended the throne, this legend spread everywhere.

He didn't seem to notice that when his mind was stirring, his red birthmark would be slightly red.

At the moment, he was very unwilling.

Yes, Li Sicheng has great ambitions in his heart. He was not willing to be just a mediocre master. It has always been his dream to be on an equal footing with Daming and to be called the Lord of the North and the South.

Therefore, the foreign war he wants is a victory that is crisp and neat, and even goes deep into the inner Ming Dynasty, rather than just holding on to the war and bowing to the Ming Dynasty.

But he is also well aware that any idea is based on the strength of reality.

To tell the truth, Houli Taizu Taizong Renzong, that is, the emperor who was killed by King Yishan, has accumulated three generations and forty years, and Houli's national strength is beginning to expand, like the sun is rising.

gave Li Sicheng confidence.

But once the Ming Dynasty came to the present, the orthodox emperor did not seem to be a soft persimmon, coupled with the internal power contradictions, he was not clear.

Ruan Chi's plan certainly made him very aggrieved and dissatisfied. But it's the only thing I can do now.

After he pondered for a moment, he said, "Okay, it's just Taifu, but who guards Jiling Pass?" ”

Ruan Chi said: "Ruan Tingmei. This will be a long time to fight, make good use of firearms, coupled with the terrain and mountains, even if there are thousands of troops and horses in Beikou, it is difficult to cross the thunder pool. ”、

Li Sicheng secretly said in his heart: "It's surnamed Ruan again." ”

Before Zhennan Pass.

"Boom, boom," countless shells shot out, and the troops who suddenly rushed to the front did not dare to move. Before this level, within a distance of two or three hundred steps, there was a death decomposition line.

All the Ming troops who rushed into this distance were covered by a large number of firearms in Annam.

Even if you can rush under the wall, facing layers of antlers, rejecting horses, and ditches, you are also a live target. Ten deaths and no life.

This advantage of firearms gave Mao Sheng a headache.

There is a very kind of thing that he fought not the Annan army, but the Ming army.

What the Watt Thorns hate to face the most is what the Ming army has to face now.

"Dangdangdang." The sound of Mingjin's troops coming back.

In front, the Ming army withdrew one after another as if they had been amnestied.

At this moment, the army has arrived.

Mao Sheng's eyes swept over the generals and said, "Now that the Annan Army is here, what can you do?" ”

Everyone's eyes flashed, and they didn't dare to say anything.

Today's tentative offensive made the Ming army feel the difficulty of the Annan army, and the fluttering scenery brought by the auspicious victory also disappeared without a trace.

Perhaps, the hand-to-hand combat faced by these Annan troops was much worse than that of Daming, but if they were held against the danger, they would be equipped with a large number of firearms.

It's like a hedgehog.

Everyone can see that it is impossible for the army to get through without one or two thousand people dying here.

And this is a relatively ideal situation, don't forget, because of the terrain, the army of Annam in Zhennanguan is not too many, but 10,000 people.

However, there were nearly 100,000 or even more troops in Langshan, which means that even if the Ming army paid a great price, the Annan army might be stationed here in Zhennan Pass in turn.

At that time, it was probably not a matter of one or two thousand people dying.

When Mao Sheng saw these people, none of them spoke. With a wave of his hand, everyone was gone.

Only Wang Yue stayed.

Wang Yue can be said to be Mao Sheng's lieutenant general. It can also be said that he is a prisoner, Mao Sheng can't do many things, and he doesn't dare to hide it from Wang Yue.

Wang Yue said: "General, although there are a lot of artillery on Zhennan, the artillery of the Beijing army has arrived, and when the time comes, it will not be a state of passive beating." It's just that the thieves are condescending, and the cannon is farther than us, and the disadvantage will already be in me by then. ”

"Even if the soldiers are brave, I am afraid that they will not be able to gnaw down here."

Mao Sheng pondered for a while, and said: "Zhennan Pass is in the hands of thieves, it is like a fish in the throat, Pingxiang can change hands at any time, even if the two countries negotiate peace, this Zhennan Pass must be taken down first, otherwise you and I will lose to the ancestors." ”

That being said, both sides are frowning. Although he has already made up his mind to fill in his life under Zhennan Pass. But each other is worried about one thing, that is, if tens of thousands of lives are really filled, can they really win?

Suddenly, a person outside said, "Pingxiang Toast asks to see you." ”

Mao Sheng was a little impatient, and was really ready to send him away, but he heard Wang Yue say: "Now, if you want to win by surprise, you have to find someone who is familiar with the local geography, and the Pingxiang Li clan has multiplied for a hundred years again, and no one is more familiar with Zhennanguan than them, why don't you listen to what he is going to say?" ”

Mao Sheng said, "Let him in." ”

Li Cheng was able to come in and said: "The villain saw that the general was trapped by the big town Nanguan, and the villain knew that there was a small road that could lead to the south of the Zhennan Pass. ”

"What?" Mao Sheng was taken aback and said, "Where? ”

Mao Sheng immediately asked people to take out the map, and Li Cheng drew a line on the map.

Truth be told, the maps of this era are very abstract. Li Cheng's line drawn on the map is even more abstract. Li Cheng said: "This road, is to the east into the mountain, after entering the mountain, and then turn to the south, there are more than 300 miles, most of them are used by the medicine pickers, the widest place, along the valley, there is a magnificent avenue, but the most disaster place, to climb through, the place to settle, only the palm wide stone steps. You can't do it in a big way. However, it can go straight to the passage between Zhennanguan and Langshan. ”

Between Zhennanguan and Langshan, it is not connected in a straight line, but also an almost S-shaped valley road, and this mountain road can directly enter the middle of this valley road.

In other words, if there is really a man stuck in the middle, the Annan army in Zhennan Pass will become a lonely army.

Once the support line of Zhennan Pass is cut off, then even if it is difficult to fly here, it is impossible to defend it for too long.

But Mao Sheng and Wang Yue both understood the difficulties.

Without him, you don't need to send someone to see it, you can know that this road is difficult to pass through the brigade, and a small number of people are desperate for death in the passage between Langshan and Zhennan Pass.
